The Death List Novel - Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Experience at the Beginning of Life
After Lady Boss Catherine left, Qin Lun lay quietly on the bed and fell into deep thought with his arms on his pillow.

Stephen Albert is dead! The first alien mission given to him by the Broken Starry Sky actually required him to save a dead person!

In such a small town, the death of a baron’s successor was already considered a major event. Many people saw the Albert family’s funeral at that time, so it shouldn’t be a fake.

According to Catherine, although the Albert family had a baron heritage, the fief only had a small forest and a mountain on the outskirts of Odia Town. This fief was small in area and not of high value. Moreover, this family was far away from the ruling center of the Maize Principality, and there were no political enemies. It could be said that he lived a secluded life as a noble all the year round.

Such a clan naturally did not have to choose to fake death for the sake of avoiding vengeance. Of course, Catherine was only the owner of a small inn. The information she provided could only be used as a reference at most, and Qin Lun had to personally inquire about the real situation.

Thinking back to Catherine, a smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face. This charming lady boss gave him a brand new experience of life. However, this kind of physical pleasure was only an experience for Qin Lun.

Whether it was Qin Lun or Joey, neither of them had a real goal of survival. Entering the shattered starry sky might be a test or an opportunity for ordinary people, but for Qin Lun and Joey, they were only curious about new things.

Apart from getting rid of the prison walls a little bit more easily, the rest could only do as they pleased. Even in this foreign world mission, the first thing Qin Lun thought about was not to complete the mission, but to explore the secrets behind it.

If someone else had a notification for an alien mission, they would definitely think that Stephen Albert was pretending to be dead. Although Qin Lun wasn’t so sure, it was undeniable that his originally perfunctory attitude had greatly changed. Now, he was really interested in this foreign mission.

One must know that the so-called salvation, suffix is not necessarily life, there are still many things that humans can contact with “salvation” …

A strange light flashed in Qin Lun’s eyes. He got up from the bed and walked around the guest room naked. He felt the sudden surge of excitement in his heart and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

To know the life and death of Stephen Albert, one had to enter Baron Albert’s castle. Normally, not to mention a young doctor without a medical license, even famous doctors in small towns might not be invited by their owners.

However, the situation was different now, and epidemics began to spread in the small town. Even though Katherine had given out all the information under Qin Lun’s “seduction”, she didn’t hold back at all. However, as he spoke, Qin Lun also felt that there was indeed a “blockade of information” as the lady boss had called it.

The epidemic had actually occurred more than a year ago, when a few outsiders from Odia Town suddenly fainted on the streets. However, at that time, the diseases these people suffered from were not contagious, and these people struggled for more than a month from the time they fell ill to the time they died.

The latest epidemic started half a month ago. People in the small town successively died of illness, and the people beside them were also infected. It slowly spread from the edge of the small town to the whole area nearby, covering several small towns. The reason why it was related to the accident more than a year ago was purely because the bodies of these patients after they died were very similar. They were the first to decay from their bodies, and all of them had dark green jelly-like substances.

The situation in the other small towns was unknown for the time being, but there was always a mysterious force in Odia Town that would cover up the corpses of the patients, and even their families would not say anything about it.

There were several versions of Catherine’s gossip, several of which caught Qin Lun’s attention.

Firstly, the source of the plague was a mountain forest a hundred miles away from the small town. There lived an evil witch and the evil creature she drove. The plague was a kind of potion that she invented to harm people.

On the other hand, the disease was brought by a few outsiders a year ago. The source of the disease had long been lurking in the bodies of those who had died, and it had only just broken out now. This theory was supported by quite a few people, because a few of the people who had just died in the small town happened to be town doctors, and they were also the first outsiders they came into contact with sick people.

However, another piece of information that Catherine had accidentally revealed attracted Qin Lun’s attention. More than a year ago, the strangers came to the town of Odia and were received by Baron Thomas Albert.

To the people in the small town, this was nothing unusual. Those outsiders were dressed gorgeously. Whether it was merchants or nobles, they could get an invitation from Albert Castle on their first visit to Auditoria Town and attend a dance. There was nothing to gossip about.

However, for Qin Lun, the information contained within was more interesting. The guest who had just been received by the host died of a serious illness when he returned to his hometown, but the host did not say anything after that.

How about these strangers were only temporary guests invited by the baron on a whim, and then they were forgotten. Either the baron was helpless against their situation, or he had even secretly killed these strangers. It’s interesting to get in touch with Stephen Albert, the heir to the baron who died, or pretended to have died, more than a year ago.

Qin Lun’s eyes sparkled and he subconsciously pinched his nose. He seemed to have smelled a strong conspiracy.

“Looks like I have to find my dear lady boss tomorrow to discuss the true meaning of life!”

…

“Ah ~ ~ ~” Accompanied by a woman’s high-pitched scream, the wooden bed in the guest room stopped creaking rhythmically.

Catherine, the landlady, collapsed on the bed like a puddle of mud, droplets of sparkling sweat hanging down her blonde hair and flowing into the deep ditch between the two peaks. The woman leaned the young man’s head against his tall white chest and gently fiddled with the black hair bangs on his forehead.

However, seeing the young man’s clear and bright eyes, this plump and sexy middle-aged beauty sighed in her heart. She knew that she could not hold the young man’s heart. The relationship between the two of them was just a dew duck. Sometimes, she even felt that she was just a new fruit that the young man was trying to taste.

Young, handsome, funny, and talented. If he could be ten years younger, he would probably be beaten up. No matter what, he wouldn’t be willing to let go! Catherine had an inexplicable thought.

“Are you really going to do this?” After a series of crazy clouds and rain, the lady boss finally came back to her senses and asked about her business.

“En, I only have one acquaintance in Audi Town. I’m afraid I can only ask you for help. You will help me, right?” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

“Of course. I’m just worried about what will happen after this. I don’t want my treasure to catch that strange disease!” Catherine stretched out a soft finger and scolded and poked Qin Lun’s forehead.

“No, actually, I’ve treated a few patients at home, including myself and my attendant! I just don’t have an official license, my reputation is small, and I haven’t heard any rumors in Odia Town yet.” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “Besides, the medicine needed to cure this disease is very precious. I won’t casually receive all patients!”

“Wait until you have a medical license, will you still come to see me?” Catherine bit her lips, a rare flush appearing on her face.

“Of course, my Catherine is the most beautiful lover!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled and pinched the woman’s face.

Just a lover! Catherine was slightly disappointed, but soon she smiled happily. A sincere answer was a hundred times better than a false promise. The sophisticated lady boss had already passed the days of a fantastic girl.

…

Three days later, a robust townsman suddenly covered his heart with a painful expression and slowly collapsed to the ground. A dark green substance flowed out of his mouth.

“Ah ~ ~ ~” The screams of the women resounded in the large square of the small town. Soon, the sick townsman attracted the attention of everyone nearby. The crowd gathered from all directions, but they were all carefully gathered around, and no one dared to help the patient.

Although the townsfolk had already vaguely learned that there was an epidemic in the town, in fact, apart from the first one or two, no one had ever seen an outbreak of the epidemic in public.

The symptoms of the disease had now spread, and basically all the townsfolk knew about it. Although the mysterious force in the small town temporarily controlled the situation, it was unable to avoid the panic brought about by the epidemic.

In fact, as long as the townsfolk had a fever and a cold, their families would not let him go out again. Instead, they would try their best to conceal his illness.

Not to mention that the doctors in the town were all dead when the first wave of disease broke out. Even if they were still alive, these people would rather travel tens of kilometers and secretly seek treatment from doctors in the outer town than reveal the truth to their neighbors.

This was an infectious disease. No one knew how much panic it would cause the neighbors and what kind of treatment they would encounter if they revealed the illness of their relatives.

Quietly sick, quietly cure illness, quietly die of illness, quietly buried, everyone chose to cover their ears and steal bells of self-hypnosis. This was also the reason why Qin Lun had encountered such a strange and desolate situation when he first came to Auditoria Town. It was also the reason why several nearby towns had started to spread the disease.

Of course, it was also why there were patients who came to Wellington, a young man without a medical license, and why Wellington was killed by him.

“Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!” Just as the townsfolk watched helplessly as this unintentionally disrupted the fake peace scene of the townsfolk, a commotion broke out outside the crowd. A hunchbacked man waved his powerful arm and pushed the townsfolk to the side.

“You idiots, hurry up and let Young Master Wellington pass. The doctors of the Stan family will treat this pitiful little bug!”
