David Axas ran as hard as he could in the pouring rain.

He didn't know how long he had been running. His weak legs were like two bundles of rain-soaked straw that could break at any time, but he still squeezed out the last bit of spark and ran forward.

The ringing of the alarm bell loomed behind David, lingering. The sound of soft footsteps and gunshots surrounded his ears, making the raindrops on his face look so sharp.

Damn it, Leonard Mitchell! For the sake of your colleagues, why don't you let us live?

...Yes, that's right! It was that reporter, she must have told Silveras Field about me!

If the red-haired reporter hadn't been so nosy, how could Mitchell's mad dog come after him so quickly? !

Outnumbered and outnumbered, David was slipping toward exhaustion.

But David must not stop running, because in his arms his wife Olga Aksus is sliding towards death.

Olga slumped in David's strong arms, like a rag doll shaking in the rain. Her body was covered with red scars, some of which had cracked, but instead of yellow and white flesh under the ulcerated skin, a strange red color was revealed, emitting a slight red glow.

This weird red glow has covered more than half of Olga's skin, and it is still expanding. The woman herself has long been delirious under the erosion of these weird sores.

"...David...diary..."

"Don't worry about your diary, Olga! Hold on, just a little longer!"

But the terrible thing is that Olga is melting. The ruthless rain was like a knife and an arrow, scraping through Olga's fragile skin, covering the epidermal tissue that had eroded into pus all the way down. The sore that glowed red actually also leaked out a thick liquid with the same red glow, flowing down with the rain.

David has known Olga since he was very young, and he is well aware of the red spots on Olga's body, which are complications caused by Olga's congenital immune deficiency disease. But David didn't expect that within this month, Olga's condition suddenly deteriorated rapidly, and those red spots festered at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into strange sores shining with a bright red glow. And Oujia's vitality also disappeared from Oujia's body along with the strange thick water flowing.

"Believe me, believe me! I can definitely save you! I have done so much for you, this time I..."

Snapped!

David's legs gave out and he threw himself forward into the flooded street. Olga was thrown far away by him and fell heavily to the ground. A large pool of disgusting red liquid splashed on the asphalt road, adding a strange red glow to the black road.

Overhead, bright headlights illuminated exquisite billboards. Well-dressed doctors held expensive instruments and smiled lovingly at the couples walking down the street.

"Backlund Anmi Starlight Hospital provides you with the world's most cutting-edge medical technology and health care services, coming from the Isildar Group."

David struggled to pick up his wife and continued his escape. The brightly lit high-rise building was his salvation, An Nian Starlight Hospital.

...I have collected one million pounds! I have money! As long as Olga can be sent there, she can be saved!

"David Axus! Stop!"

...It was Leonard who caught up!

David gritted his teeth, picked up his wife from the water, and moved on.

The tracking skills he once cultivated as a police officer have now become his greatest strength in evading pursuit.

Thanks to the anti-reconnaissance capabilities he had cultivated through hard work, the sound of gunshots and sirens were far away from him, but David's ears were still very noisy, with thunder, rain, traffic, and high and low voices whispering in his ears. .

"...you have to escape...you have to get more money..."

"...With money, you will have everything you want..."

"...They chase you, they trample on you, they won't let you go because you took their money..."

"...You can't save your Olga because you have no money..."

"...money...money..."

"Ahhhhhhh!! Stop talking!!"

David hit the lamppost on the side of the road, and then again, and again, until his bloody forehead slowly slid down against the pole, leaving a trail of blood on the metal pole, and finally he collapsed on the ground with the two people. .

"Now that I have money, I will save Oujia. Now that I have money, I can save Oujia..."

David's heaving chest finally calmed down while muttering to himself intermittently.

Miracles will come to Olga and I, and the goddess of the night will bless us.

Reason slowly returned amidst the pain brought by the metal and heavy rain. David stood up, changed his position and carried Olga on his back, and took off his coat to secure Olga securely.

"Goddess above, please bless me and Oujia..."

After placing four stars on his chest, David picked up a small piece of broken tile from the curb and smashed the street camera with his hand.

"Fuck you!"

In the eyes of believers of the God of Steam and Machinery, cameras and monitors are the eyes of God looking at the world equally. But David believes in the goddess of the night, and to him these are just things that get in the way.

With a few explosions, David saw something on the church steeple not far away.

A simple light box.

The cutting-edge Serenity Starlight Hospital is far away, but the old Earth Mission Hospital is very close.

David hid in the bus stop to catch his breath, stared at the red cross light for a long time, and wiped the water from his face vigorously.

Advertisements for modern cutting-edge medical services are playing on the screen on the platform again. As long as you have money, they will overcome any disease for you and even fly a helicopter to your home.

Precise instruments, bright operating tables, powerful drugs...

This is the miracle of mankind itself.

Like most people in Backlund, amidst overwhelming advertisements and shocking achievements, David put all his hopes in the ever-evolving medical technologies. For those old hospitals with church backgrounds, thousands of years of Survival experience has become a sign of ignorance and backwardness.

But now on the run, David is unsure whether he can actually reach the hospital where human miracles are performed in this heavy rain.

Intense pursuit, exhausted physical strength, exhausted spirit...

"Honey...it hurts..."

And Olga moaned in pain.

David took a deep breath, then rushed into the storm, running towards Earth Church Hospital.

Although he highly doubted whether there was enough cutting-edge technology in this old building, now Olga needed first aid, even if it took a while.

Wait until the storm passes and Oujia regains consciousness before transferring to a hospital for treatment.

The chaotic chatter in my ears became louder and louder, and the hospital lights became clearer and clearer in the rain.

"Someone come! Help!"

David yelled and ran towards the hospital, but the piercing sound of the flute sounded in the distance, and David stood nervously at the door of the hospital.

"It's all you...it's all you who reported it to Silveras Field, right?"

When the doctor on duty in the emergency room heard the cry for help, he immediately rushed out with the transfer bed and life-sustaining machine. However, after taking a few steps, the leading old doctor suddenly stopped everyone with a look of horror on his face and pulled the medical staff's coat to go. After retreating, the old doctor finally returned to the hospital door and shouted into the heavy rain with a loudspeaker.

"Sir! Please come in quickly! You are very dangerous outside now!"

David stared blankly at the old doctor huddled in the door, then took out a gun and shouted at the hospital.

"I understand... you are trying to capture me alive! Then you want to send me to Silveras Field in exchange for a reward, right?"

"No, sir! Both your patients and you have been seriously contaminated. Come in quickly!" The old doctor's hoarse but sincere words came from the loudspeaker, "I won't lie to you, I belong to this hospital. Dean, Hinedu Williams! Trust me, my boy!"

"Don't lie to me, I know what you are going to do! I used to be a policeman, and I have seen this kind of tactics too many times!"

...That's right...they just want to lie to you...

...How could such a pagan treat you sincerely? How could such a shabby old hospital have the ability to cure your wife's illness...

...They want money, they want your money, they want your money to save your wife...

...no one will help you...

David roared hysterically and fired his gun into the air.

"Come out! Save my wife!"

"Child, you still have a deep curse on you. As long as you step into the hospital, we can help you! Besides, I can't let my employees take this risk. There is no life-support equipment outside, and they can't do anything when they come out. They can only be in vain. He died because of pollution!"

"I don't care! Then bring me a moving machine!"

"Come in quickly! If you are like this, you must be cursed by someone else's filth. The person who manipulates you may even be around you."

Hinedou's tone was almost pleading.

"Come in, kid! Everything can be saved, believe me!"

"I don't believe it! Come out!"

The doctors who initially retreated finally arrived at the door with several black boxes, and then the doctors began to arm themselves with black beak masks.

"...What is that? What equipment are you wearing? You are just here to kill me! You want to steal my money! Just like the guys at Silveras Field!"

"Kid, that's just a protective suit! Just stay there and don't move, we'll come out right away!"

The old man put down the speaker and shouted loudly behind him.

"The patient contains extraordinary contamination, contains a curse, is hysterical, and may be schizophrenic. We do not rule out the possibility that the other party has contagious physiological diseases. We are prepared to protect the man and rescue the woman!"

After saying that, Sinedu put on the bird's beak mask, and while David was holding his head and roaring, he rushed into the storm with the protective doctors.

Just when Sinedu was about to end the deadlock, red and blue flashing lights suddenly rushed out from the side road, piercing sirens blasted in the storm, and a bullet passed through the heavy rain curtain, shattering the top of Sinedu's head. old light box.

"Stop! Put down your weapons!"

David was irritated by the police car that came out of the way. He yelled and started escaping again in the storm with his sister on his back.

The policeman who just rushed out sounded like he was not the leader, Leonard Mitchell, so this guy must be hiding somewhere else and preparing to ambush me!

I can't fall down yet, I can't fall down here!

David shuttled through the gaps in the building. The chaotic pipelines and debris became excellent obstacles. The well-equipped police car was helpless on the narrow trail.

I, I must arrive at Anni Starlight Hospital before being found by Mitchell. Anni Starlight Hospital, I made an agreement with Dr. Sander Berg, as long as the money is in place, as long as the money is in place...

Bang!

David, who was in a daze, tripped over a rusty water pipe again and fell into the cardboard box together with Olga.

But this is not the end. The stacked cartons couldn't bear the weight of the two people, so they shook and collapsed, falling together with the two people on the abandoned garbage truck. Due to the sudden weight of the two people, the truck body, with half of its iron sheet exposed from the floor, lost its balance and flipped outward, dumping the two people and the garbage on the roof of the building below.

Falling from a high altitude made David's blurred vision even more fragmented. When he woke up from the thunder again, he found Olga lying on her hands and knees on the cold concrete slab in the distance, and the accumulated water rushed out under Olga's body. The dazzling red stream, blood mixed with the strange viscous liquid, exudes a faint red light in the cold rainy night.

"...Dear...I hurt..."

Olga's crying whisper lingered in David's ears. David couldn't see anything clearly, he could only vaguely see the red light and the blurry figure. David let out a mournful low cry and crawled towards Olga dragging his limp feet.

When David finally took hold of Olga's ankle, his world suddenly went silent.

The roaring thunder, the noisy rain, and the noisy chatter all turned into silence at this moment, illuminated by the stars.

"My husband, my dearest

Loving husband…"

Only Olga's intimate whispers were left.

"Take another step forward and turn left into that alley..."

Gentle, clear, with a full smile, it's like whispering in the ear between two people.

"You will escape, you will save me, you will get more money..."

"As long as you listen to me."

After just a few words, David was attracted by the soft syllables in his ears, and continued to escape by following the guidance in his ears without hesitation.

Olga's warm body was clearly in his hand, floating quietly in the storm, but Olga's voice echoed over and over again in David's mind, coming from the rainstorm, from the thunder, from Come from all the sounds of heaven and earth, open your arms to embrace him.

Olga was in his hands, Olga was everywhere.

Seeing the signboard of An Nian Starlight Hospital appear above his head, David's wandering thoughts gradually calmed down.

With his sanity briefly returning, David did not enter the hospital immediately, but carefully observed the flow of people and surveillance around him.

He wrapped his facial features with a mask and goggles, and then covered Olga's ulcerated skin with a coat to prevent passers-by from seeing Olja's red glowing sores.

He finally brought Olga to the place of redemption.

After learning the lesson from the Earth Church Hospital, David walked into a public phone booth.

Even though mobile communications are now very developed, there are still old-fashioned red phone booths on the streets of Backlund, which are the soul of Loen.

This time David didn't smash the camera in the phone booth. When no electronically identifiable features are exposed, smashing the camera will trigger those alarms immediately.

"Hello, are you Dr. Sandberg? I brought the money..."

"...Are you...Mr. David Axas?"

Dr. Sander Berg's voice came over the phone.

"Yes, Dr. Berg, I brought the patient here, and I also raised one million pounds. Can the treatment you mentioned last time be used now?"

"Okay! As long as the funds are in place, everything will be fine! Ah, do you want to be admitted to the hospital now?"

"Of course! My wife needs resuscitation, she can't bear it anymore!"

"...But, you didn't reserve a bed. You know, we are a private hospital, and this requires expedited fees..."

"I'll add money!"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Axus, come to the hospital quickly. I'll wait for you in the emergency room."

"...No, come out."

"...What?"

"I told you to get out of the hospital! Come out and save my wife!!"

"No, Mr. Aksas, please calm down first. This is not in line with our corporate system, and depending on your situation..."

"Don't you have a mobile ambulance? Don't you have a helicopter and an aerostat? Don't you mean it can reach any corner of the world in Loen?!"

"However, Mr. Aksas, this VIP service is very expensive, and I do not recommend that you subscribe to this service..."

"I'll add money!"

"No, Mr. Axus, you..."

"Come out quickly and heal my wife!!"

David was roaring hysterically on the phone.

"...Okay, Mr. Aksas, I will come to you now. However, I declare in advance that this is a humanitarian operation based on my personal wishes and does not comply with company regulations, so I will not accept this private visit. Your money, and I can't guarantee that I…"

Dr. Berg sighed helplessly.

"Okay, where are you? Let's check the situation first."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Sander Berg came to where David and Olga were. Dr. Berg looked to be about sixty or seventy years old, wearing a full set of protective clothing. Only a pair of small round glasses could be vaguely seen through the goggles, dragging a huge box, and came in a hurry.

"Mrs. Assacks, Mrs. Assacks? My Goddess, why did she suddenly deteriorate to this point? My goddess..."

Dr. Berg was shocked by Olga's terrible condition. He immediately turned on the equipment and started rescue.

"Listen, Mr. Isaacs, I understand that you have your difficulties, but with all due respect, your wife must be hospitalized. Now I can't use more hospital resources. Only you are admitted to the hospital. An Nian Xingguang Hospital is the real Only then can medical power be used for you and me."

Dr. Berg, who was at work, gradually stopped paying attention to his words because of the severe situation.

"You absolutely cannot afford an exclusive medical team to provide you with private services, or even a team capable of treating such a rare disease, even if you have a million pounds now. What's more, it's not just your wife who needs treatment now, I strongly recommend that you seek psychiatric treatment as your problem is urgent."

"But the good news is that you really have a million pounds now, so you can go through the procedures for hospitalization immediately. I won't ask why you don't want to enter the hospital, but we can provide you with some special means to help you Create a file with your wife. We are familiar with this kind of business and we will keep it strictly confidential..."

Dr. Berg smiled to himself.

"After all, we are a company, and companies always focus on money."

As long as you have money, all status and diseases are not a problem.

"...Okay, go through the formalities for my wife right away!"

"Mr. Isaacs, do you really not want psychiatric medication?"

"I said no! Call a car to take my wife away and you can go away!"

Dr. Berg sighed, took out the machine and quickly and skillfully registered the order, then took out the instrument and pointed it at David.

"Look here, pay first."

Click.

Payment Fail.

David was shocked and grabbed Dr. Berg's computer, which showed that all Luen Bank accounts in his name had been frozen.

"Damn it! Where are those cards?"

He hurriedly took out a pile of cards and watched Dr. Berg checking the cards one by one with solemn eyes.

Bearer accounts, Gustav Group, Backlund James Bank, signed checks, and even the kind of voucher cards that are only circulated in the black market...

Dr. Berg never asked a word about the cards.

"Some of them here are also frozen, some are empty cards, two are fake, this one is a trap card, why is this a game currency..."

"You've been screwed, Mr. Aksas, and you lack financial knowledge. Obviously, after you got these cards, some people immediately performed operations on these cards, and now you can withdraw some of them..."

"Approximately how many more are there?"

"Less than two hundred thousand pounds..."

David suddenly got angry, pulled out a police pistol, pointed it at Dr. Berg, and shouted loudly in his face.

"I don't care! It's all for you! You have to save my Olga!"

"Sir, listen to me..."

Bang!

!

The wall next to the cabin collapsed instantly, and two guards wearing sophisticated exoskeletons walked out of the smoke, aiming their guns at the hysterical David.

"Dr. Sander Berg, you have been away from your post for more than an hour without any reason, and you have used medical resources without reporting it to the system. If you do not return to your post, your violation will be recorded, and this violation will result in The resource consumption will be deducted from your salary."

"It is important to remember that everything you use in your work is company property."

"Sure enough, here we go again..."

Dr. Berg was obviously a veteran. He sighed, ignored David's pistol threat, and picked up Olga, who was bleeding from the ground.

"Look carefully, this is a patient of our hospital who has paid."

Then he turned to face David.

"Two hundred thousand can only complete part of the treatment plan, and the remaining long-term recuperation is the bulk of the cost."

"I'll take your wife away first. It can be cured as little as possible. You quickly find a way to repay the money."

"I don't care how you got the money, but next time, you must pay attention to transferring the money in time - this is a required course for all desperadoes..."

A newbie in asset transfer, a sudden huge sum of money, a police pistol on his forehead, a wife whose condition suddenly deteriorated...

The experienced Dr. Berg had guessed seven or eight times, but in the end he just sighed again.

There is nothing new about Backlund, he is just another pathetic person.

"Let's agree on a location. Before the money runs out, I guarantee that your wife will be a registered patient of Anmi Starlight Hospital. After the money runs out, about a week later..."

"I will send your wife to the appointed place."

"There's only so much I can do."

Trust him, my dear husband...

Olga's soft whisper sounded in David's ears.

Can there be a better way?

...there is none left.

So, let me go.

I believe you will get more money.

…money…money…

The police pistol fell to the ground, and David slumped in the broken house, watching Dr. Berg disappear from sight while hugging his beloved wife.

When night fell, the distraught David stood up unsteadily.

My Olga...she has never left me, she accompanies me wandering under the neon lights of the metropolis, she guides me to save him, she is guiding me to get more money...

David's eyes were dull, and he walked to the towering luxury hotel, muttering to himself, and stared blankly at the advertising screen in the glass building.

"Brilliant Holiday Hotel, your first choice for travel and vacation, provides you with luxurious and comfortable hotel services from Isildar Group."

"The No. 1 Iris Mall provides you with the most high-end shopping experience and a selection of treasures from all over the world, from the Isildar Group."

…

"Griffith Public School provides elite education for your children from an early age, from the Isildar Group."

...an aristocratic school for the rich...Griffith School...

"Honey, I have a great plan."

Olga's sweet whispers sounded again.

"Why not blackmail those rich people?"

David woke up suddenly from his wooden bed.

The dazzling sunlight leaked from the hole in the broken house, becoming the only light in this abandoned room.

I dreamed of that day again...

David, who woke up from the nightmare, rubbed his face and sat up from the bed. The dry clothes were stolen from the street yesterday in the chaos. His hands and feet felt indescribably comfortable. All the injuries caused by the collapse of the house a week ago had disappeared, even David himself. He couldn't even tell that he was still a high-risk patient lying in the intensive care unit yesterday.

Today is the second day since the Harvest Church bombing.

In the chaos of yesterday's explosion, David suddenly woke up from his hospital bed and was surprised to find that he had recovered as before. He followed Olga's guidance in his ear and escaped.

Yes, I can always get out, I can always survive.

As a survivor of a kidnapping criminal gang, he had no emotion about the death of his companions, because those two were originally mercenaries caught on the black market, and they had who knows how many lives on their hands.

Even though he escaped the police's sight, he couldn't stop here yet. He needed to seize every moment.

Now, he has enough money.

"Good morning, my dear David."

Olga, whose skin was almost covered with ulcers, lay quietly on the ground with an emerald green bracelet tied to her hand.

The first thing David did when he escaped from the hospital was to go to the place agreed with Dr. Berg. Sure enough, Ou Jia had been thrown into an empty room by the people from An Ning Xingguang Hospital.

Olga's condition has indeed improved a lot after treatment. The special cloth covered most of Olga's skin, which should be Dr. Berg's last gift. But these are far from enough.

As for the emerald green bracelet, David accidentally brought it out from the Earth Mission Hospital. It seemed that this bracelet had been worn on his wrist while he was in a coma.

Now David finally has time to take a closer look

Looking at the bracelet, he discovered that the emerald green bracelet was actually a long candy.

After thinking for a while, David took off the candy bracelet from Olga's hand, opened it bit by bit, and stuffed it into her mouth. He didn't know how long Ou Jia had been waiting for him here, nor how long they would have to run around later. Anyway, it was good to give her some strength now.

After treatment at the mission hospital, David is now very healthy, and his mental state and thinking are much better than when he kidnapped the rich young master.

No...it's not just the church hospital. David, who had temporarily regained his senses, sorted out the situation at that time. He felt that just lying in the ICU for five days would never be able to completely cure his serious injury, unless this church hospital really had magic. .

David touched his arm and took out an empty syringe from his pocket.

Someone gave him a shot before the explosion.

He then wakes up in the explosion.

Where did the other party come from? What exactly does the other party want me to do?

Could it be...that he came here for my money?

"Good morning, my dear Olga."

To cure you, and for our money, we have serious things to do.

Emlyn hugged his antique doll, and Leonard grabbed his paper bag. The two of them sat on the sofa in the apartment, smiling crookedly at each other.

"Wow, is this the famous young detective from Backlund, Mr. Leonard Mitchell? I've long admired his name."

"Thank you. I have long heard that the genius doctor Mr. Emlyn White is highly skilled. I saw him today. He is truly a talented person."

"The cold-faced detective is exactly what the newspaper said he was, Mr. Bingshan."

"Oh, Doctor White, I still remember a few famous sayings, 'There are no miracles in this world.' Do you remember which vampire prince said it?"

"Leonard! Shut up!"

Emlyn stood up and took the lead to stop.

"It's the Blood Duke!"

"Haha, 'I'm not a savior', 'I save...' Wuwuwuwu!"

"Watch your words, Leonard!"

Emlyn flew up a pillow to interrupt Leonard's spellcasting, then closed his eyes and tried to take a deep breath.

Pay attention to your etiquette, Emlyn, you are already a big shot in the Vampire Clan, you cannot be on the same level as this guy...

"Klein! You must have told Leonard!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. We acted together at the time. How can we analyze the situation together if we don't tell everything?"

Without any guilt, Klein put down three cups of rich, fragrant coffee on the coffee table, then sat down on the sofa.

"That's almost it. Stop being awkward and let's take the time to talk about serious business."

"Why, are we talking here?" Emlyn was dubious, "You're already awake, isn't Mr. Fool awake yet?"

Klein raised his eyebrows and keenly captured the key information.

In the past more than a thousand years, his relationship with Emlyn should have been good, but it was far from the point where he had to hand over his identity as "The Fool". In Emlyn's eyes, he should be the Beloved Klein.

Looking at it this way, I am afraid that the only one in the Tarot Society who knows that "The Fool" is him is Leonard.

Is it because of Pales...

"Mr. Fool has not yet awakened. We have tried to pray to Mr. Fool before and log into Sefirah Castle for talks, but it also failed - we seem to have lost all contact with Mr. Fool. ."

Leonard took over and tried not to let Klein explain the problem.

"So we chose Klein's apartment as a temporary venue. As you just experienced, it has the suppression of extraordinary abilities of a very high level, as well as the properties of anti-prophecy and anti-divination. I think this is what Mr. Fool left to us, especially Klein. safe house."

"Okay, I finally feel it."

Emlyn didn't want to mention the embarrassment just now. At first, he originally wanted to turn into a bat and come in through the window in the dark, but after entering the house, he found that he could not transform from a bat into a human form, so he had to fly out again amidst Leonard's ridicule, cling to the wall and start again. Form a human form and climb through the window to come in.

This is not elegant at all!

"But there is one thing you should be careful about. I think this apartment is not immune to physical damage." Klein said, "If you encounter some gunfire-like pursuit, don't hide here. This building is full of people. Woolen cloth."

The two nodded in agreement.

"Since Mr. Fool is not here, why don't you, Klein, be the host?" Leonard raised his hand and suggested.

"no problem."

Klein rolled up a piece of paper and tapped it on the coffee table.

"Praise Mr. Fool! Then I announce that the temporary Tarot Club Tim version meeting will begin now!"

"What is the Tim version?" Emlyn was stunned.

"Uh... then this is the minimalist version. Anyway, if we have any trading needs, everyone can get started."

Klein used the paper in his hand to form a solid paper stick, and handed it to Emlyn.

"Mr. Moon, who has just returned, please speak first, and everyone, please pay attention to your speaking volume."

Emlyn was a little confused after taking it.

What is this, is it a speaking microphone? Forget it, it doesn't matter...

The three of them subconsciously straightened their sitting postures and got into the mood, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

Emlyn took several bottles of disinfectant water from his belt and placed them on the coffee table, then pushed a few bottles to Klein.

"Mr. World, these spray cans are given to you as a thank you for helping us fight off the 'Scarlet Murderer' Nelson Kolodko during the bombing."

"These are disinfectants specially prepared by the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth. They have a very good purification effect on cursed power, filthy power and a certain degree of extraordinary pollution. But I need to remind you that its effect on pollution above angels is minimal. In fact, these disinfectants Water will not be very effective when it encounters the pollution power above demigods. If it does encounter it, then increase the dose."

It turns out that the pungent smell that I kept smelling in that hospital was this disinfectant...

"Nilson failed when he tried to control passers-by in the hospital through his happy emotions. It was probably because of this." Klein asked after thinking for a moment.

"Yes." Emlyn nodded, "So in this explosion, some of the people in our hospital who were contaminated were relatively

"That red light?" Leonard pondered for a moment, "I also think that red glow is very familiar. I have several guesses, but I am not sure which one is possible. There is too little information we can know now."

"We are still too far away from the core of the extraordinary organization." Klein sighed, "Now our original identity no longer exists, and even the protection brought by the original Tarot Society and Mr. Fool no longer exists. Of course, other orthodox churches The transactions and cooperation with Mr. Fool are gone, and it would be dangerous for us to rashly contact other extraordinary organizations or establish contact with any other gods."

"Starting from scratch, it's not the first time." Leonard smiled awkwardly, "It's just that I think any force would be surprised when they see one or more angels who suddenly appear and are familiar with their own background. Quite a stress reaction..."

"In short, please be careful not to pass on topics related to our Tarot Society and Mr. Fool through the Internet or telephone without a trustworthy means of communication. Especially you, Klein, you are a programmer, and the online world is steam and machinery. We know relatively little about the church's territory." Emlyn reminded.

Then Emlyn pushed two cans of disinfectant spray towards Leonard.

"Mr. Star, I would like to ask you to help me track down a case and help me recover an extraordinary item."

Emlyn picked up the phone and showed it.

"I would like to ask you to help me track the follow-up of the Isildar kidnapping case."

"This kidnapping case was supposed to be over soon. At that time, there were four injured people sent to our hospital because of the Isildar kidnapping case: police officer Mebis Russ, who was slightly injured, police officer Marek Brennan, who was seriously injured, and police officer Marek Brennan, who was seriously injured. The criminal David Aksas, and that "Moon" reporter Geraldine Lightning."

Geraldine...what the hell name...

After taking a sip of coffee to cover up the complaints in his heart, Emlyn continued his speech.

"On the day of the bombing, Ms. Ruth, who was slightly injured, had already been discharged from the hospital. Mr. Brennan, who was seriously injured, had just completed orthopedic surgery. Ms. Lightning, who had been mentally stable, fell ill on the spot. David, who was in a severe coma, suddenly woke up and fled the hospital. The latter Both were directly affected by Nelson's visit."

"I want to know, why did Nelson single out you, a person related to the Isildar kidnapping case, to trick our Harvest Church? Is it to provoke conflicts between our Mother Earth Church and Backlund's various forces, so as to bring trouble to our Harvest Church?" Shall we drive out Loen's people?"

"Especially this David Axus, I want to know everything about his subsequent situation."

"In fact, this was not just the first time he came to our hospital. According to the records of my teacher, President Sinedu, before the bombing and even before the kidnapping, there was a riot in our hospital, and eventually he He took the person away without entering the hospital."

"According to the notes of other doctors who were on duty in the emergency room that day, at that time David Axus was already carrying severe filthy powers, had very extreme mood swings, and showed some symptoms of schizophrenia."

"It turns out that the pollution and manipulation started at that time..." Leonard suddenly realized, "He also brought someone with him... Now it all makes sense! Can Mr. Moon please show me what happened at that time? Records? I will visit you in my official police capacity."

"no problem."

Emlyn nodded.

"The escaped David Axus took away an extraordinary object from our hospital. Its name is [Eternal Lamp Wick]. It is an emerald green bracelet...well, it is actually a wick candy, but we put it Loop them together to form a bracelet."

"We put this bracelet on David at the time, but he may not have cared about it after he woke up and ran away with the [Eternal Lamp]."

"Its effect is to 'sustain life'. We have several [eternal wicks]. We usually put them on the hands of patients who we think are likely to be rescued but are currently in critical condition to buy them some time. If you are chasing If you get this extraordinary item during a kill, you can wear it urgently as a temporary treatment."

"But its effect is only to 'sustain life' and cannot heal the body. If it is worn on the hands of those patients who are destined to die, it may make them worse than death..." At the same time, because of its strong effect, we It is only applied to the extent of 'contact'. "

"Never, never eat it, not just lick it, even if it's candy, even if you're seriously injured and about to die."

"The existing records do not record the consequences of accidental ingestion, but this taboo is emphasized. I don't know what will happen if it is eaten."

"Okay, I took note of it."

Leonard nodded.

"As for the follow-up of the Isildar kidnapping case and the tracking of David Axus, I won't accept your things."

"These happen to be the cases that I have handled. I will also need your assistance from the Earth Church Hospital in the future. I am very willing to share information with you."

"David Aksas was originally a colleague of mine and a young police detective. His family was barely middle-class and he believed in the goddess of the night. His family relationship was also relatively simple. He had a wife, Olga Aksas."

"Olga Axus? Is she also a believer of the Goddess of the Night?" Klein wondered, "I thought that wives who believed in the Goddess of the Night would keep their original surnames, except for those royal nobles."

"This is usually the case, but Olga is actually an orphan who grew up in the local Orphanage of the Church of the Night. Her original name was Olga Morris."

Leonard spread his hands.

"Mitchell, Morris... these are common surnames in the Church of the Night Orphanage, especially Mitchell. They are so common that some people will ask you if you are from the Orphanage of the Church of the Night. So in order to let It is easier for children to integrate into society when they grow up. Over the past few hundred years, the Church of the Night has added several bad surnames to name children, such as Moretti, Sanders, Miles, etc. ."

"But none of these can actually completely eliminate the sense of difference between church orphans and children from ordinary families. People can still easily spot children who come from church orphanages."

"Especially in this busy and torn era, some church orphans will feel a stronger sense of separation and emptiness after entering society because of the oppressive social environment. At this time, the surname given by the church will make them feel There is a sense of difference and uneasiness. This phenomenon is not uncommon in any church organization."

"Therefore, regardless of gender, these church orphans who lack a sense of belonging are extremely inclined to change their spouse's surname after marriage in order to gain a sense of stability and identity from the family."

"Ha, you actually want to use this method to gain some false sense of belonging. I really don't know whether this is the progress of human society or the sadness of this shitty era." Emlyn sneered, "Just this topic makes me I have seen it in many psychiatric and psychology journals, but the experts have been discussing it for so long, but they have not seen this phenomenon improve. Instead, it is getting more serious, and there is even a tendency to spread to ordinary families. "

"Many things cannot be solved by medicine alone." Klein sighed.

By sharing the same surname, you can have a family of your own and embrace happiness. How could it be that easy?

"Yes, just like Olga's disease, it is also a very difficult problem in human medicine at present."

Leonard continued to explain.

"Oujia was born with a rare immunodeficiency disease, and the treatment cost was high. But fortunately, his condition was stable and he only needed daily care. But what no one expected was that a month ago, Oujia's illness Sudden and rapid deterioration."

"David, who came to Backlund from other places to work hard, spent all his little savings and the results were not good. Some private hospitals with cutting-edge technology can treat this rare disease, but obviously David cannot afford such a huge sum of money. ."

"It would have been better if he had walked into our Mother Earth Church Hospital." Emlyn interjected, "I think the director is very confident that he can be cured, but this level of pollution can only be cured by the time. Dean may need treatment for a long time."

"If we delay it until now, is it possible that Mr. Moon can cure the disease directly with medicine?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen the patient myself, so I can't make any promises to you."

"But it's a pity that David doesn't really believe in things with a church background, especially hospitals."

"Ha, do you think this is pedantic and superstitious?" Emlyn smiled, "It's so classic. This is the ignorance of postmodern people. The 'Bright Moon Era' has really spoiled these guys."

"Anyway, you can take a look at these first."

As he spoke, Leonard took out some paper from the bag.

"This is some information that Geraldine gave me at that time. It is the medical records and inspection reports of David and Oujia at Anmi Starlight Hospital. Coincidentally, this hospital belongs to the Isildar Group - everyone, see Remember to burn it here when you're done, these are just copies."

Emlyn flipped through the detailed documents and couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Xingxing, where did you find such a precious assistant? The water in such a large enterprise is very deep, and it is difficult to deal with it from top to bottom. If you can successfully bring this information out of that kind of hospital, who is your reporter? How did you do it?"

Leonard was suddenly stunned and gave up after thinking for a long time.

"When you say that, I seem to realize that I have never asked Geraldine how she did this before." Leonard frowned, "I have never paid attention to these. At that time, I felt that anyway, I got Just get these information."

Klein vaguely felt something subtle, but considering that it was before Leonard returned to his position, he didn't delve into it too much, and in the end just smiled.

"Perhaps your reporter used some social engineering tactics."

"Maybe that's it."

Leonard shrugged, then quickly straightened his expression.

"But after that, David changed."

"He is no longer a mature and steady young police detective, but has begun to speak erratically, think incoherently, and even become a little crazy."

"Soon, Geraldine handed me a video in private: David had stolen something from the Sheriff's Office."

"On the day we filed the case, David never came to work again, so we started tracking him, and then he ran away with Olga in his arms.

This chapter is not finished, please click on the

I passed by the Mother Earth Church Hospital. "

"Wait a moment, Mr. Star, I want to ask, why does your reporter have the video of the Sheriff's Office?" Klein raised his hand to express his doubts.

Could it be that this red-furred fox sneaked in and installed his own camera to monitor the Sheriff? What is she trying to do?

This time Leonard was asked again.

Uh... it seems... it seems that I have never taken the initiative to talk to Geraldine about non-work related topics before.

"Actually, I don't know. I never cared about this kind of thing before returning to my post. In other words, I didn't care about any of her means or methods at that time." Leonard touched his chin and tried to remember, "I only remember , when writing the case, Geraldine herself said that this video was sent to her by Kowawu."

"Kowawu? Cyber ​​ghost Kowawu?"

Klein suddenly became energetic.

As a Sixth Age programmer, he was all too familiar with the urban legend of Kowa'u, the cyber ghost. In the company channel, some of Klein's colleagues who are enthusiasts of ghost stories often tell stories about the Internet ghost Kowawu:

For example, a Kewawu who suddenly appears on the desktop will eat the ppt reported by the project leader to Party A, and then disappear from your computer immediately; for example, a Kewawu who has great ambitions and hard work will hijack the server of an unlucky website, and then Send spam advertisements to all users asking for money; for example, Kewawu, who is so idle that his graphics card hurts, will lurk in anonymous forums, and then use trash talk at a speed of 800 words per minute to quarrel with the crowd...

"So, the urban legend of Kewawu is real? He is actually a prank hacker?" Klein thought, "But the legend of Kewawu has been circulating for a long time."

"I don't know." Leonard shrugged, "But according to Geraldine, she suddenly received an email sent by cwaoo_31452 that morning. There was nothing in it, only this video. She said that when After she downloaded the video, Wau's email automatically disappeared."

But there is still something that puzzles Klein: Why does this Kewawu monitor the police chief? Is it just for fun?

More importantly, Klein realized that Wau's operations may have exceeded the capabilities of pure software technology. This network ghost may have physically invaded some hardware in reality.

...So everyone is saying, is this a 'ghost'...

"Then things connected."

Leonard continues to piece together the ins and outs of several cases.

"After David escaped, he went to Griffith School. He rushed into the school during school hours and kidnapped the 10-year-old Jarod Isildar, the young master of the Isildar Group. Wei was seriously injured in our pursuit at Silveras Field and was arrested and sent to the Mother Earth Church Hospital. Moreover, he himself did not succeed in getting the ransom, so it was all in vain."

Here, I am afraid that the dump truck has the greatest contribution...

Klein complained silently in his mind.

"This Griffith School sounds very old-school, but in fact it was founded less than a hundred years ago. It is owned by the Isildar Group. On the night when David's theft and escape occurred, we were still near Anni Starlight Hospital. A figure suspected of being David Axus was found, and this Anni Starlight Hospital is also an industry owned by the Isildar Group."

"What's even more terrible is that David kidnapped Jarod Isildar, the young master of the Isildar Group. I mean, I don't think this was a well-planned action. In such a bad mental state, Next, I doubt whether David at that time had the ability to fully understand the whereabouts and life of Jarod Isildar and accurately hijack the right target."

"Therefore, after watching the surveillance of the scene, I am more inclined to think that David randomly arrested a rich kid in school to complete the kidnapping and blackmail, and the last unlucky guy happened to be Jarod Isildar..."

"Everyone, is this Isildar Group a little too unlucky?"
