Chapter 1298 1270. Convergence of clues
Maria was wary of Lan En, so she didn't alert others when she came back.
This is somewhat good news. At least there won’t be too many people coming to get in the way in the next process.
"When did you come here?"
Lan En asked next.
"I just arrived not long ago." Maria said softly, "The first thing I saw through the crack of the door was these. And the way you walked towards him with the needle, so I rushed in."
As she spoke, Maria's slightly trembling hand pointed at the patient corpses piled on the ground.
The witcher knew what was going on after just a moment's thought.
She first saw the pile of corpses through the crack in the door. She suddenly realized that she had been deceived and the suffering of these patients.
Her anger made her lose control, and she rushed directly towards Lan En, who was walking towards the patient with a syringe in his hand.
But basically within half a second after taking action, she woke up.
The corpses of these patients were obviously piled up during long-term experiments, and Lan Enlong had only been around for a few days?
A tall hunter who can use [Acceleration] and has amazing skills but has never appeared in Yharnam may be suspicious in itself.
But this pile of patient corpses is unlikely to be directly related to him.
That's why Lan En concluded from her breathing that she didn't actually want to kill anyone, but was just subconsciously venting her anger.
Therefore, the demon hunter and Maria could maintain a relatively tacit understanding of timing and stop each other in time.
"You mean, gray blood disease is man-made?!"
Maria's voice was colder than ever before, and she reacted immediately after hearing Lan En's brief description of the situation to her.
Her long leather boots stepped on the wooden floor that had been soaked with blood, and she walked to the experimental table.
Under the dim kerosene lamp, she looked at the broken pills.
"Those are little pills distributed by the Good Gold Cup Church."
There was danger in her tone, and Lan glanced sideways down at her.
Without explaining much, he just picked up a glass bottle stopper on the table and threw it towards the reagent cabinet next to him without turning his head.
There was a crisp sound of glass breaking, a hole was made in a bottle, and then there was a scene of a large pile of white pills that were the same as those on the table, flowing down.
Since ordinary people and even hunters cannot discover the ‘added ingredients’ in these pills, then the clergy naturally don’t need to be too careful about concealed storage.
After all, although this medicine was first distributed by the Good Golden Cup Church, the Healing Church also recognized that it had certain detoxification capabilities.
If you have reserves, it’s normal to tell them. You can even put it on a shelf openly for people to see.
"This is.?!"
Maria, on the other hand, stared blankly at the pile of pills left on the reagent cabinet.
If it were before, she would have been able to watch this bottle of small pills with detoxification ability appear in the laboratory in the research hall with a calm mind.
But now, Lan En's laboratory table clearly connected the relationship between gray blood disease and pills.
Maria only felt that her throat was dry, and she even had to open her mouth slightly to breathe smoothly.
This was simply unthinkable to her.
"This church! I mean the Healing Church." Maria forced herself to calm down. "The Healing Church has always wanted to save everyone with [blood therapy]. This is impossible."
No, how could it be.
Maria shook her head subconsciously.
"There have been too many unnecessary conversations." The Blood Noble resisted allowing herself to continue thinking, and she changed the topic, "I don't know who you are, Lan En. But I think we might be able to start together. Save the patients here!"
"Stop those **** experiments! Then investigate whether gray blood disease is man-made or something else!"
Lan En nodded in agreement, but his agreement was limited to the first half of the sentence: "Yes, we do need to do something. I feel like I am about to grasp the answer to the mystery."
"The answer to the mystery?" Maria looked up, her brows slightly frowning under her three-cornered hat, "What on earth are you talking about?"
This was a very explicit expression of emotion for her.
"I'm consulting you, Ms. Maria." Lan En fiddled with the motionless soft-bodied creature on the floor with his toes, "Is there a saltwater lake or something near Yanan? Or is there a way to import seafood?"
What was found in the blood of gray blood patients was so characteristic of the ocean.
The taste and appearance. Lan En suspected that this should be some kind of marine parasite with supernatural powers.
"Small fishing village." Maria also frowned. She still didn't understand what Lan En meant, but she still gave the answer. "Yanan is close to the sea, and the small fishing village is the source of Yanan's catch."
Halfway through, Maria got stuck.
Lan En obviously noticed this jam.
"Small fishing village? What happened to that small fishing village?"
"That makes sense!" Maria suddenly calmed down, "Church. No! My teacher told me that the small fishing village is the source of gray blood disease. As long as the hunters hunt a special monster there, Kill and the plague will disappear!"
"Wait!" This time, it was Lan En's turn to glare slightly, "You said 'hunters' or 'hunting'?"
"You organized so many old hunters just to go to that small fishing village?!"
“Where is the goal of the big hunt?!”
Lan En became more serious than ever before. There was actually not much difference between the two expressions and his calm expression before, but Maria still noticed it.
The witcher looked at the samples he had verified on the experimental table, those disgusting parasites.
Then he turned around resolutely and asked Maria: "You said you turned around and came back, that means you are still going to the small fishing village, right?"
"Let's get going!"
Maria didn't know why Lan En suddenly became serious, but the witcher knew it.
—The clues merged!
In Yharnam's deepest and most dangerous nightmare, Simon is responsible for tracking down the secrets of the Great Hunt.
Lan En chose the clue of the plague of gray blood disease.
And now, the intersection of the two lines has appeared! This often means that the key to truth and change has arrived!
Simon has died countless times in this nightmare, but now, this is definitely the closest they have ever been to the secret of the nightmare!
The key to this nightmare may be in that small fishing village!
Maria did not refuse.
Whether it was her duty as a hunter or her inner urge to test an idea, she would definitely go back to the small fishing village.
Her teacher would not deceive her, Maria believed so firmly.
By being wary of Lan En and witnessing so much information in a very short period of time, my spirit was impacted and my kindness was teased.
She firmly believed that after arriving in the small fishing village, everything would be revealed.
