The Death List Novel - Chapter 57
Chapter 57 Heart Execution
“Doctor Stan, please forgive me for taking the liberty! You weren’t originally a townsman or exorcist in Odia Town. Why did you notice these two pieces of information about the Albert family in the witch’s notes?”
Lady Nova waved her hand and interrupted Myr. She frowned as she looked at Qin Lun, who was resting with his eyes closed. Although she had a rough appearance and was even more rough than a man, her mind had a unique feminine subtlety. It was no coincidence that she could become one of the leaders of the exorcists in the Audi region.
While everyone else was shocked by the information recorded in the witch’s notes, Ms. Nova maintained a cautious and rational attitude and quickly found out the only irrationality in these two pieces of information.
One of the two shocking pieces of information was, of course, the last name of the Mary Clare witch, the name of Stephen Albert’s wife. Of course, this information itself wasn’t much. In this world, there were many people with the same name, not to mention the overlap of surnames and names.
However, contacting the second piece of information forced the exorcists who knew about the epidemic to suspect the Albert Clan. In the second piece of information, the Mayan witch named Mesa recorded a small incident that happened a year ago at the edge of the Mayan Forest.
At that time, a young couple and a little boy were chased to the edge of Maya Forest. One of the pursuers was suspected to be Baron Albert. In the end, the young couple’s woman was killed and the young man and boy were taken away.
The reason why Witch Mesa noticed this was because the woman who was killed was actually very similar to the Mary Witch who disappeared more than ten years ago. Moreover, the other two new creatures among the pursuers had also aroused her keen interest.
The exorcist could tell from the description in the notes that one of the creatures was a werewolf raised by the Albert family. The other creature was very similar to a stone ghost. It also had bat wings and sharp claws. It was a magical creature that the witches had never seen before.
All exorcists knew that Witches Maya could use magic to restore her true colors when she was young. Therefore, if a Mayan witch fell in love with the eldest son of the Albert family, Stephen Albert, it was nothing. It was at most a scandal. The Albert family would just expel the witches.
However, this piece of information was recorded more than a year ago. After this incident, two outsiders contracted the disease in the town of Odia. Ordinary townsfolk did not know the identities of the two outsiders, but the exorcists in the Odia region knew that they were two court physicians from the Principality of Maezer who had come here to treat Miller Albert.
In other words, the exorcists knew that the first outbreak of the disease in the Audi region was in Albert Castle.
However, most of the exorcists’ doubts about Albert Castle only flashed and were buried in their hearts. After all, the Albert Clan was the core of the exorcists in the Audi region. They had been at the forefront of the battle for a long time and were respected by everyone.
And now … Stephen Albert’s wife is a witch? There were actually two magical creatures in Albert Castle. Apart from the known werewolf, they were also secretly developing other magical creatures?
What does the Albert family want? Was the plague on Little Miller related to the Albert family’s research on magical creatures? Witch Mary, could she be the contact between the Albert Clan and Witch Maya? Was Baron Albert’s organization of the exorcists from the Odia region into the Maya Forest just a superficial cover?
A large number of questions filled the minds of all the exorcists. They were not idiots. These two pieces of information immediately stirred up the doubts that were originally buried deep in their hearts. Many people were unable to adapt to the conflict between their previous knowledge and the information in front of them.
Hearing Lady Nuova’s question, Qin Lun opened his eyes and looked at the “big lady” whose face was full of flesh and blood. The admiration in his eyes flashed away.
The authenticity of the information is not important. What is important is whether the person who provided the information is reliable or not. The conclusion of the intelligence is not important either. What is important is whether the process of drawing the conclusion is reasonable or not.
Nuova’s question was actually to ask Qin Lun. It’s not strange for us exorcists to see through these two pieces of information at a glance, but how do you, an outsider, know these things? The name of Stephen’s wife and what happened to the Albert family more than a year ago are private to the Albert family.
Unless you have ulterior motives, why would a doctor care about this?
This was to go straight to the root of the problem through appearances!
However, since Qin Lun dared to highlight these two pieces of information and add fuel to the fire, he naturally wouldn’t be stumped by Ms. Nova’s question.
“Miss Nova, I am a doctor and have no interest in the secrets of the Albert family. However … “Qin Lun glanced around at the doubtful exorcists.” On the way to treating Little Miller, I discovered that he was different from the epidemic patient in Auditoria Town. What threatened Little Miller’s life was not the epidemic virus, but the weakness caused by chronic undernourishment! ”
“Doctor Stan, you mean …” The Holy Healing Master beside Qin Lun’s expression changed.
“That’s right. Before receiving my treatment, Little Miller had been ill for more than a year. The disease virus in his body has already reached a balance with a certain substance. He is the source of the disease in the Audi á region!” Qin Lun nodded and said with certainty.
“As for why I know about Stephen and Nina, that’s partly because I specifically consulted members of the Albert family to get some blood samples from them for vaccination against the disease. “But now, it seems that the Albert Clan already possessed similar drugs. Otherwise, if they had accompanied Xiao Miller for so long, all of them would have been infected by the disease!”
“Hmph, no wonder the Albert Clan would rather invite a general practitioner than have me, a Holy Healer from the Audi region, treat Little Miller!” The Holy Healing Master sneered, “Do you believe me now? I told you long ago that this disease is not an ordinary disease, but an undying plague!”
“Undying plague?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he turned around and asked.
“The Undying Pestilence is a living virus that incorporates undying power. It is a plague weapon developed by witches. Its main purpose is to reduce the population of ordinary humans!” Myr glanced at Qin Lun and the Holy Healing Master and explained softly, “Actually, when the plague first appeared, some of us suspected that it was an undying plague developed by witches. However, we didn’t expect that its origin really came from … Albert Castle!”
Undying plague? ! A new clue flashed through Kieran’s mind like lightning. He suddenly remembered the dark green substance in Frank’s vomit that wriggled like a living creature on the first night he entered this world.
No, I still need the last piece of the puzzle! Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly. He finally connected all the clues together. Right now, he only lacked a core, a key point that allowed the truth to be revealed.
“Miss Nuova, we must act before the headquarters gives the order, otherwise it will be too late!” Myr said with a gloomy gaze.
“… Alright, I agree to return to the castle and confirm the authenticity of these two pieces of information!” Nova looked deeply at Qin Lun. “However, the Albert Clan is the core of the Audi Exorcism. I hope everyone can keep their cool and let Myr and I negotiate with the Baron alone!”
“There’s no need for you! Let me ask father, I will prove the innocence of the Albert family!” Suddenly, a deep voice came from the entrance of the tent.
“Bonnie” The exorcist in the tent was startled as he looked at the blonde youth who had suddenly appeared.
‘”Bonny, you need a good rest! No matter what, you have already proved your innocence with your heroic battle. I believe that Baron Albert will give us a reasonable explanation when we return to the castle!” Lady Nova stood up and said solemnly.
Half of the blonde youth’s face was covered in white bandages. He swept a circle of the exorcists in the tent. The anger and unwillingness in his blood-red one-eyed eyes sprayed on everyone’s faces like blazing flames. His gaze paused on Qin Lun for a moment, then he resolutely turned around and left.
The young and strong body bent down, as if it had instantly aged a lot. The figure under the campfire looked so lonely and lonely.
“Sir Bonny, do you remember what you said to Oddo and Bly’s corpses?” Qin Lun suddenly opened his eyes and asked indifferently.
Bonny paused and his shoulders trembled slightly. He did not turn his head and said coldly, “Of course I remember that Bonny Albert was an exorcist first, and then a member of the Albert family!”
“Everyone, go back and prepare for it. We will leave immediately and return to Albert Castle!” Myr waved his hand at all the exorcists in the tent. “The witch’s backup will arrive in this area soon. Before then, we have to leave Maya Forest!”
The exorcists filed out, their expressions extremely heavy. For more than three hundred years, Albert Castle had always been the leader of the Audi Exorcists. Countless Albert Family exorcists had died in battles with the Maya witches and evil creatures. Thinking of the need to question the Albert family’s loyalty to their duties as exorcists, their mood wasn’t much lighter than Bonny’s.
The exorcists in the tent quickly disappeared, leaving behind only Qin Lun, who was seriously injured, and the Holy Healer who took care of him.
“Well, Doctor Stan, you’re much stronger than I thought. Your wounds are all bandaged up. Rest for a while, and we’ll be leaving soon!” The Holy Healing Master patted Qin Lun’s intact left shoulder and comforted him with a smile. He turned around and was about to leave.
“Please wait a moment!” Qin Lun suddenly pulled the sleeve of the Holy Healing Master and said sincerely, “Perhaps I can’t understand the respect the other exorcists have for the Albert family, but I know that once the Undying Plague breaks out, tens of thousands of human civilians in the entire Audi region will be turned into corpses …”
“What do you want to say? Didn’t everyone make a decision?” The Holy Healing Master’s eyes flickered as he turned his head away, not looking into Qin Lun’s eyes.
“They are all warriors. They value honor more than their own lives. They dare to sacrifice themselves, but their respect for their lives is becoming colder and colder. After the outbreak of the Undying Plague, there will be corpses everywhere in the Audi region, and it may even spread to the entire Maize Principality and the entire continent!” Qin Lun said with a gloomy expression.
“In this camp, only you and I truly understand the power of the Undying Plague! Questioning the Albert Family is not the main point. We must immediately find the key factor that keeps Little Miller from dying from the Undying Plague, the immune substance that can balance the undying power! Even if … sacrifice the Albert Family for this …”
“What do you want me to do” The Holy Healing Master’s hands trembled as he looked at Qin Lun in horror, as if he had reacquainted himself with this new exorcist doctor who was skilled in medicine.
“I want to invite you” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and whispered to the Holy Healing Master.
