The Death List Novel - Chapter 32

Chapter 32 The Source of an Epidemic Disease
“Frank!” Qin Lun whispered to his servant and took the medicine chest in his hand. After searching for it, he took out a small test tube from it. There was a thick milky white liquid mixed with a little foam in the test tube.

Qin Lun looked at the test tube, his expression uncertain, but he still made a good decision. It had been more than ten days since he entered this world, and he had finally approached the core secret of the mission. There are other ways to achieve this, but it is impossible to maintain a good relationship with the Albert family.

One must know that this kind of good relationship may become a breakthrough at some point, and no matter how bad it is, it will not hinder the continuation of the mission. However, he was facing the first bottleneck and test in the mission.

The little boy in front of him, Miller Albert, was his test. If he showed that there was nothing he could do about the little boy’s illness, then the Albert family would probably not let him stay as a guest anymore.

Thinking of this, Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and gently supported Little Miller. He squeezed open his chin and poured a tube of milky white liquid into the little boy’s mouth.

The members of the Albert family watched all of this quietly, expressionlessly waiting for things to develop. Even the second son of the old baron, Bonny, showed some disapproval.

It was no wonder that Little Miller had seen countless doctors and taken countless pills over the past year. Among them, there were a few imperial physicians sent by Duke Maize, but their illnesses did not improve at all. Those imperial physicians were also very unlucky to have contracted the epidemic and died on their way back to their hometown.

The truth of the outsider incident in Odia Town was not that the imperial physicians brought an epidemic disease to Odia Town, but that the disease itself originated from Albert Castle.

Little Miller was the source of the epidemic in the Audi region!

Back then, Baron Albert was afraid that the scandal would damage the Albert family’s reputation in the Audi region, so he chose to hide the truth. At the same time, during this period of time, the mysterious power that helped Auditoria Town conceal the plague was also Albert Castle.

However, the disapproval on the faces of the members of the Albert Clan quickly turned into surprise. After drinking the milky-white liquid, the little boy’s face turned red. Although it didn’t look much different from before, everyone could tell that the milky-white potion Qin Lun had fed him was working.

Sitting beside the bed, Qin Lun heaved a sigh of relief. He gently put down the little boy, stood up, and waved his hand to signal everyone to leave Miller’s room.

“Doctor Stan, how is Little Miller?” As soon as he left the room, Bonny, who was the most impatient, asked. Compared to last night, the blonde youth’s tone finally carried a trace of respect.

“Baron, please prepare a quiet room. I have something to ask you!” Qin Lun ignored Bonny and frowned. He looked at the old baron with a very displeased expression.

Strangely, Qin Lun’s slightly rude attitude did not offend the Albert Family members present. On the contrary, everyone was a little embarrassed, as if they were feeling a little guilty and didn’t dare to look at the young doctor directly.

Moments later, the old butler, Jason, brought everyone to a large conference room in the castle and waited for the servants to prepare some black tea and pastries for everyone. The servants, including the old butler Jason and Frank, left the room, leaving only Qin Lun and the members of the Albert family behind.

There was a strange silence in the room, but at this moment, Qin Lun, who was the first to initiate a conversation request, did not speak. He drank black tea slowly and looked at the group of people in front of him with an indifferent expression.

Qin Lun was not the kind of language master who could talk endlessly and defeat others with sharp words. However, as a master of psychology, he was growing rapidly and his control of the situation was getting better and better. Through the treatment just now, he had already demonstrated his ability to restore Xiao Miller’s health, so he naturally had the right to take the initiative in the talks.

Qin Lun could see the importance the Albert family members attached to Little Miller. The Albert Clan’s descendants were thin, and they were in a remote area of the Principality of Maezer, so they could not find a suitable marriage alliance between nobles. Little Miller was currently the sole successor of the third generation of the clan, and the Albert Clan could not give up on the little fellow in public or private.

If Qin Lun didn’t take this opportunity to gather some important information, he would have wasted such a long time putting on a show.

Two Albert men, Thomas Albert and Bonny Albert, were speechless for a long time. Although Qin Lun hadn’t spoken yet, they knew what the doctor might ask. Among them, they were unwilling and unable to reveal some of the inside information.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Laura looked at her father and brother angrily and was the first to break the deadlock. This beautiful girl loved little nephew Miller the most. As long as the little boy had the slightest hope of recovering, she could do anything.

“Respected Dr. Stan, how is Little Miller?”

“He has been sick for more than a year. Don’t you know about his illness?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he put down his teacup. He had to answer this question. At the same time, he wanted to provoke the members of the Albert Clan. “I really doubt if he is your family. That room has always been filled with the aura of plague. You are simply trying to murder him!”

“No, it’s not like that!” Bonnie cried out excitedly.

“Alas, let me tell you!” The old baron finally sighed and said in a heavy tone, “Since Doctor Stan has the ability to cure Miller, he naturally has the qualifications to know the background of this matter.”

Little Miller’s condition, let alone a doctor, even an ordinary person could tell that the little fellow had been ill in bed for a long time. Qin Lun guessed correctly. The source of the disease in the Audi region was Little Miller.

Little Miller had contracted this disease more than a year ago. Baron Albert had only inferred that he did not know the cause of the disease. Over the past year, the Albert family had tried everything they could to buy all sorts of rare medicines at high prices. They had even requested Duke Mizer to send imperial physicians to treat Little Miller, but to no avail.

In the early stages of Little Miller’s illness, the infectiousness of the disease was not so terrifying. Only those who came into contact with him had a certain chance of being infected. Those palace physicians and some servants in the castle died from this. Strangely, other members of the Albert family are immune to infection.

However, more than a year later, the disease has mutated. The outbreak in Odia Town more than a month ago was actually brought by a maid in Albert Castle who was in charge of cleaning Little Miller’s room.

At that time, no one knew that the disease on Little Miller’s body had actually mutated to spread through the air. A few local doctors from Odia Town died because they were invited to treat their illness.

After that, the upper echelons of the castle no longer left the servants in charge, and even the cleaning of Little Miller’s room was handed over to Miss Laura. Other than the members of the Albert family, no one else could get close to Little Miller.

As for closing the doors and windows of Little Miller’s room, he was afraid that the virus would spread. In that case, there is a high possibility of an outbreak in the entire Audi á region. The Albert Clan claimed to be the patron saint of the Audi region, so they naturally couldn’t do this.

“Doctor Stan, since you have a cure for the disease, of course we won’t isolate the little fellow!” The old baron asked cautiously, “The medicine you used just now seems to be very effective against Little Miller. I wonder if it can completely cure this plague!”

Qin Lun leaned against his seat, his eyes glittering. The old baron’s explanation had almost satisfied the patient’s medical history that a doctor needed to know. However, he was no ordinary doctor, and this half-truthful explanation only confirmed part of his speculation.

To be exact, it wasn’t the truth of the epidemic that Qin Lun wanted to know and the true secrets of the Albert Clan.

Little Miller was infected more than a year ago, and Stephen Albert died more than a year ago! What’s the connection?

What had happened more than a year ago?

Since the other members of the Albert family were immune to the disease, why would Little Miller be infected with the disease?

How did Stephen die?

Last night, on the strange letter in his room, “Please save us”, what was going on?

Interesting, so interesting! The corners of Qin Lun’s mouth curled upwards. This clan and castle seemed to be shrouded in layers of mist. It was truly worthwhile for him to place such a big bet just now.

In fact, the liquid Qin Lun had just fed Little Miller was a gamble. It was not a medicine at all, nor was it the World Tree Dew, but an experiment he had refined in the Catherine Hotel.

Ever since Qin Lun entered this world, he had come to a conclusion about Frank, Stan Xiaolou, and Morrison, who had been cured by him.

The World Tree Flower Dew was a substance with completely opposite properties to the disease virus. In other words, if the nature of the World Tree Dew was “life,” then the disease virus’s attribute was “death.” The two were natural enemies and could not coexist.

Once an ordinary person is infected with an epidemic disease, the vitality of organs and cells in their bodies will be devoured by the disease virus. This devouring is a bit like the invasion of normal cells by cancer cells, causing irreparable damage to the body and ultimately leading to the death of the patient.

Although Qin Lun did not have modern medical equipment, he had a faint discovery when he examined Little Miller, and he had a guess that he felt was somewhat ridiculous.

He discovered that the Albert family did have immunity to the disease. The reason why Little Miller was able to survive until now was because his immune system had a symbiotic relationship with the disease.

Now it could be said that Little Miller was the host of the disease virus, and both of them lived and died together. It didn’t matter if he let it go. Once the disease virus was removed, Little Miller wouldn’t be far from death.

As for the milky white medicine that Qin Lun had just given Xiao Miller …
