Chapter 1287 1259. Mad Patient
After walking around the first floor of the research hall, Lan En had basically gone through it.
Under Adeline's guidance, various small rooms and doors were revealed to Lan En in a limited way.
But Adeline couldn't continue to take him to higher floors.
"Recently, many patients with gray blood disease have developed symptoms of irritability and delirium during treatment, and they attacked the doctors of the church."
Adeline held her hands together and said to Lan En with a little apology.
"The church therefore sent some descendants of Sumeru to guard the stairs, and some hunters to prevent the situation from getting out of control. I can't take you to the second floor."
But as she said that, she looked at Lan En with an expectant look.
"How is it? Even if it's only on the first floor, you should be able to see the church's advanced medical technology, right? After all, you understand, right?"
Lan En nodded hesitantly: "Yharnam is indeed very advanced."
This is a lie. Lan En has never been outside of Yharnam in this world, and of course he doesn't know what the medical level outside of Yharnam is like.
But when I think of the many foreign hunters who come from all over the world in Yharnam and want to use [blood therapy] to fight terminal illnesses, that vague answer should be nothing wrong.
But then, Lan En crossed his arms, lowered his head and asked Adeline back with interest.
"But. You seem to want to persuade me to join the Healing Church."
The Blood Saint dodged a little at first, raised her hand and brushed her hair behind her ears.
"Although not everyone can become the Blood Saint, I have the status in the church now, so luck must be a big factor, right?"
"I don't have any special skills or advantages. I'm not as wise as scholars and can study those great knowledge. I'm not as brave and calm as hunters, who can fight monsters and protect cities."
Adeline's clasped hands were twisted awkwardly.
"I want to do something for the church and others. After all, I have received more care than others because of luck, but all I can give is blood. I don't know what others will think, but I don't like it!"
"Although I don't have knowledge, wisdom, or power, I can at least try to do something! That's what I think!"
At first, Adeline probably just wanted to answer Lan En, so that he would be more willing to become a hunter in Yharnam.
But as he spoke, Lan En could clearly feel that Adeline must have mustered up the courage to express some of her emotions.
After that, she lowered her head shyly and apologetically.
"Yes, sorry, did I say too much?"
"As far as the conversation style of the Yharnam people is concerned, there are indeed a lot." Lan En's comment with his head tilted made Adeline's head hang even lower, "But I am a foreigner and I can't adapt to the conversation style of the Yharnam people at all. Yours is okay."
Adeline breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head: "Phew~ Please stop making fun of me."
Lan En shrugged his shoulders to show his obedience. And turned the topic back.
"But Adeline" The demon hunter changed the subject, and then turned his head with a look around, looking at this research hall with a large area and a large floor height.
"Is this really a facility for the treatment and research of gray blood disease? In the face of the plague, the healing church seems to have no sense of isolation. Hunters and clergy all walk around freely without any cover."
The architectural structure of this research hall is completely hollow in the middle.
Lan En didn't know if there were stairs in the main buildings around it, but in the middle of the building was a thick and tall wooden pillar. The spiral staircase around this pillar extended out at the corresponding floor height and connected the floors.
The giant pillars are always decorated with complex reliefs and intaglios, full of Gothic gloomy beauty.
"There is no doubt that the Church of Healing wants to save the world and defeat the plague!"
Adeline smiled at Lan's question.
"Every patient here will be well taken care of. The clergy and scholars treat them wholeheartedly, and the hunters ensure that they will not hurt themselves or others during the illness."
"We are all people who have undergone [blood therapy]. We who have received the sacred blood will not be infected by gray blood disease, so protective measures are dispensable."
Lan smiled noncommittally: "That should be the case."
Under the cloak, the friction and collision sounds of [Smaug]'s armor pieces sounded from time to time, causing Adeline to repeatedly look at them with some curiosity.
After all, for the Victorian-style Yharnam, Lan's heavy and thick real armor is completely a thing of the last era.
It can be called an antique.
Adeline couldn't imagine that there are still people in the outside world who use such equipment to do the work of hunters.
Lan En seemed to be persuaded by her.
The Blood Saint thought to herself.
Then I'll give him some advice later. If they still use this old-fashioned combat equipment in Yharnam, there will definitely be big problems when they really work.
However, just when Adeline wanted to open her mouth to remind the tall man beside her.
Lan En suddenly seemed to have discovered something and twitched his nose. Then he frowned and looked at Adeline seriously.
"Are you still researching beast disease here?"
The demon hunter's keen senses suddenly smelled a stench of Yharnam beasts in the complex smell of medicine in the research hall, but it was different from the strong and sticky human blood smell of ordinary beast disease patients.
More complex and more hidden.
"Beastiality?" Adeline was obviously stunned. She didn't expect Lan En to ask this question here. "No, how could it be?"
"This place originally conducted research on blood, and later began to accept patients with gray blood disease. But they all received the sacred [blood therapy], so how could it be related to beastiality."
Adeline's tone was very firm, and it was simply natural.
[Blood therapy] can cure everything. Beastiality, an ancient disease, still exists in Yharnam today, but because there is not enough sacred blood, [blood therapy] cannot be popularized to everyone in Yharnam.
This is what the Healing Church claimed, and Adeline and Mark, they all believed it so sincerely.
However, before Adeline finished the last few words of "related".
On the second floor of the research hall
"Crackle!"
A chaotic sound of glass and wooden window frames breaking suddenly broke the busy but quiet atmosphere in the research hall!
A clergyman in black uniform fell from the air behind Adeline, and with a sound like a water bag bursting, he smashed directly into the sunken dry pool on the first floor of the research hall!
Under the pressure of gravity, a line of blood was squeezed out of his body and flew out diagonally three or four meters away!
Lan En realized in an instant: the height difference between the second floor and the first floor of the research hall is about seven meters. This is not the amount and intensity of bleeding that can be caused by a simple fall - this person's body has been bleeding heavily before falling!
Sure enough, the culprit who caused the heavy bleeding also fell down the next moment!
"Ahhh!"
He screamed with his throat, crazy and irrational. Even because of the excessive roar, there was even a messy wheezing in his voice.
Like a dying donkey.
But this cry is not funny, on the contrary, it is very crazy and dangerous.
It was a patient wearing a dirty hospital gown.
Yanan's hospital gown is basically a loose dress, with the same style for men and women. This kind of clothing is supposed to be designed to facilitate medical staff to check the patient's body at any time.
But now, the patient's chest and upper arms are tied with strong leather straps, as if to restrict his mobility.
Just like the body of the gray-blooded patient that Lan En had seen before, he did not grow thick and tough black hair outside his body.
This is very different from the beast patient, and it is even enough to be considered as two diseases.
But at the same time, the body of the gray-blooded patient who jumped down also began to deform!
When the other party jumped down with a roar, Lan En stretched out his hand and pulled Adeline, who had not reacted at all and had her back to the scene, behind him.
At the same time, he frowned and looked at the crazy gray-blooded patient.
The main body of the body could not be seen because of the loose hospital gown, but the limbs were already as thin as a stick. If the arms were completely hanging down, they could easily touch his calves!
Body deformity caused by the disease!
The most conspicuous part of the gray-blooded patient is his head.
The head is wrapped in a gray sack of coarse cloth, and there are large patches of red and gray blood on the sack.
The sack is very large, and it will definitely be loose when put on a normal person's head. After all, there is no problem putting two heads in it.
But on the shoulders of the gray-blooded patient, the sack is bulging.
You can even vaguely see that there seems to be a large piece of wriggling flesh and blood inside the coarse cloth, pushing out one undulating outline after another!
Is the sack really a human head?
"Puchi!"
The gray-blooded patient held an iron rod in his deformed and skinny hand, which looked like the rod for hanging infusion bottles in the hospital that he had directly pulled off.
The sharp severed head, as the gray-blooded patient fell, stabbed into the body of the clergyman in the dry pool again.
The abundant blood gushed out with the appearance of a new hole in the body.
The gray-blooded patient was very strong. He swung the iron rod in his hand, and the clergyman impaled on it was like a rag doll.
Blood was scattered in the air, and with the sound of wind, it hit the cabinet on the first floor wall with a "whoosh".
The glass on the cabinet was shattered, and the bottles and jars inside were also smashed to the ground.
This collision seemed to have also broken some dangerous samples in the cabinet.
A stream of blue-gray liquid splashed out, and it fell to the ground with a "sizzling" sound like frying fat, and a burst of corrosive white smoke.
