The Death List Novel - Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Revelation
“Boom!” Dark clouds covered the sky above the castle. Following the flash of light in the clouds, a drought thunder exploded out of thin air.

“Push, push it away!” The stone bridges of the castle were densely packed with human heads, and the thick gates blocked the townspeople with torches.

The thick door bolt let out an ear-piercing sound, and fine cracks slowly appeared on its surface.

“Bang!” The bolt finally broke into two, and the townsfolk flooded into the castle courtyard like a torrent. The neat lawn only lasted for a while before it mingled with the soil.

“Livy, did I do something wrong?” The Holy Healing Master Totti sighed and turned to look at the Mayor of Odia Town beside him.

‘”No, Toddy! There hasn’t been an exorcist in Albert Castle. Doctor Stan is right. It seems that the outbreak in the town is related to the Albert family. Otherwise, Nova and the others would have already appeared in front of the door to stop everyone.”

The middle-aged mayor shook his head with a bitter smile. “We don’t have the power of exorcists to stop the Albert family. We can only mobilize the townsfolk to help Nova and the others.”

“Alas, I only hope that Albert Castle can survive this disturbance.” The Holy Healing Master Totti sighed helplessly. “You and the other mayors and sheriffs, try to restrain the townspeople and prevent them from harming the innocent servants of the castle.”

“My little Wellington, are you alright?” Catherine felt both familiar and unfamiliar with the angry twisted faces around her. She nervously clutched her arms tightly to protect her chest and was staggered forward by the flow of people.

The innkeeper did not expect that the moment she heard that the source of infection was Albert Castle and that her little lover had yet to return, she was so worried that she rushed out of the inn and joined the army of townspeople denouncing Albert Castle.

By the time Catherine regained her senses, she had already appeared in the courtyard of Albert Castle, surrounded by Audi commoners who had lost their minds.

During this period of time, the epidemic in the Audi á region has become more and more serious. The death toll has finally exceeded a thousand. In addition, more than 2,000 people have struggled to the brink of death, accounting for more than 15% of the total population. In other words, one in six people in the Audi á region dies or is on the verge of death.

This ratio allowed the epidemic to spread to almost every civilian family in the Audi á region. It could be said that in the Audi á region, everyone could feel the close proximity of death from their sick relatives.

At this time, even the normally gentle Audi civilians could feel their rationality collapsing, their hearts filled with madness and tyranny. Just as everyone was about to collapse, they heard that Albert Castle was the source of the infection.

In fact, there was no one to discuss whether the news was true or false. They had long believed this rumor in their hearts. After all, more than a year ago, those two outsiders had visited Albert Castle before they died of illness in the small town.

As soon as the news spread, scattered crowds appeared on the central road of Odia Town. They held torches and slowly headed in the direction of Albert Castle. In just a few tens of minutes, this small group had grown into a flood, and along the way, countless civilians from nearby towns had joined in.

Qin Lun lifted the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window of the banquet hall and smiled as he looked at the torrent that had rushed into the castle courtyard.

“As a theoretical master of human genetics, this is the first time I’ve seen the dark green disease virus. I knew it wasn’t a germ. It’s not about making people sick, it’s more about modifying, modifying genes.” Qin Lun put down the curtains and smiled.

“Human genes?!” A trace of confusion appeared on everyone’s faces. They were not doctors, and there was no concept of human genes in this era.

“Oh, right, you don’t know what a gene is. Let’s treat it as the source of life for now.” Qin Lun pinched his nose awkwardly and continued to explain, “The reason why those infected with the disease died was because the power to transform the source of life belonged to the Undying Force. Ordinary humans’ physical fitness could not last until the transformation was successful. In the end, they would all die from exhaustion of their vitality.”

“Sir Stan, if the disease virus is an undying plague and its function is to transform the human body, then … there will be at least one modifier!” Lima, who had silver hair and golden eyes, looked at Baron Albert gloomily.

“Well, Lima, you’re right. There’s at least one reformer!” Qin Lun smiled and raised a finger. “At that time, I accepted Baron Albert’s invitation to help me track down this reformer. However, after seeing Young Master Miller, I immediately realized that this reformer was most likely a member of the Albert family …”

“Doctor Stan, your judgement is too arbitrary. Isn’t the plague on Little Miller a masterpiece of a servant?” Myr frowned and asked, “Maybe his mother, Witch Mary, did a failed experiment.”

“Haha, there is indeed a possibility, so I played a little trick at that time!” Qin Lun said with a smile.

“I cleaned all the glass test tubes in my medicine chest and sprinkled a small amount of stone powder. Human fingerprints are actually unique. Since the reformer caused Little Miller’s illness, it can’t be cured. I think it will be very curious about the medicine that can cure the disease. I want to use this to get its fingerprints and catch it.”

“No wonder he took away our wine glasses so actively that day. So he wanted to compare our fingerprints!” Bonny’s face darkened as he carefully flipped through his palms and muttered softly.

“Did you get its fingerprints?” When Lady Nova heard this, she couldn’t help but ask. Even Baron Albert’s face moved as he glanced in a certain direction.

“I got it! In fact, it’s very impatient. I got its fingerprints the day after I arrived at the castle!” Qin Lun sighed. “With Frank’s help, I compared the fingerprints of all the members of the Albert family. The result was very surprising.”

“Who is that reformer?” Lima clenched his fists tightly, his golden eyes icy cold.

He had never forgotten that his father had tossed and turned in bed for two whole weeks, and that his whole body had finally decayed to death. The guardian power in the exorcist’s body rejected the modification of the disease virus. On the contrary, Lima’s father’s death was even more painful due to his strong physique.

“Although I got its fingerprints at the time, Frank met the statue ghost and I became an exorcist. I learned that there were witches and exorcists in this world, and I also learned about Stephen Albert. “This information has made me realize that the truth is not that simple. There are also several other suspects!”

Qin Lun waved his hands and said helplessly, “That fingerprint doesn’t belong to any of the Albert family men, but to a young and beautiful young lady. Miss Laura, you entered my room without permission and touched my medical kit, didn’t you?”

“Laura? Miss Laura!” There was a buzzing sound of discussion in the hall.

“Yes … yes, I … am worried about Miller’s illness!” Laura lowered her head and whispered, “I found a letter with words in your room. I thought it was a prescription, but unfortunately … it was blown away by the wind. Then … I flipped through your medical kit.”

“I don’t blame you, I think it should be the same! When I first came to the castle, you showed your love for Little Miller and questioned me!” Qin Lun smiled and said, “However, please understand that at the beginning, this alone would not be enough to dispel your suspicions.”

Laura did not say anything else and nodded silently.

“Just as my pursuit was in trouble, I was given the chance to enter the Myya Forest. I was thinking that the Myya witches were the most knowledgeable and proficient in using undying power in the world. Perhaps I could get a breakthrough from them!”

Qin Lun slowly paced through the hall with his chin propped up. He raised his head and smiled, “In fact, our sacrifices in Maya Forest were worth it. The witch notes I obtained from the witch’s cabin finally allowed me to connect all the clues together. I have a complete guess, and I know the identity of the mysterious reformer!”

“Do you mean my brother, Stephen Albert, or Mary Clare, the mother of Little Miller?” Bonny looked at Qin Lun with a burning gaze.

“Doctor Stan, there’s no need to say anything else!” Baron Albert glanced at Little Miller. Suddenly, he seemed to have aged more than ten years. He bitterly said, “I was the one who accidentally infected Little Miller with the Undying Plague when I was developing the werewolf. I will bear all of it.”

“Haha, Your Excellency, you can’t bear it. I won’t …”

“Doctor Stan, since the Baron has already assumed the responsibility …” Lady Nova gritted her teeth and interrupted Qin Lun. She looked at the doctor pleadingly, “Everything that should have happened has already happened. The most important thing now is to stop the spread of the disease. Why must we continue?”

“If possible, I don’t want to destroy an exorcist family that has been guarding Audi á for more than three hundred years.” Qin Lun lowered his eyelids and said indifferently.

‘”However, only those who bathe in fire can be reborn! Only by finding the culprit can we eliminate this calamity and prevent the same thing from happening again. Miss Nova, let me ask you again, are you an exorcist to protect the Albert Family or the tens of thousands of civilians in the Audi á region?”

“Alright, I’ll stay here and watch. If your accusation against Albert is unsubstantiated, I won’t let you off!” Nova blushed and shouted in embarrassment and anger.

“Miss Nova, I respect that you are a senior in the Audi region, but if you threaten Lord Stan again, you will be my enemy!” Lima raised his hand expressionlessly and tightened his black gloves.

At the same time, Andrei and Jamie also took a step forward and stood on the left and right of Lima, expressing their positions with a straight face. At this time, even the two neutral exorcists took two steps closer to Qin Lun and looked at Nova vigilantly. As Baron Albert pleaded guilty, they had to give up neutrality.

“Nova, calm down!” Myr put his hand solemnly on Lady Nova’s shoulder and shook his head at her.

‘”Stephen and Mary, alias Nina, are indeed very suspicious, but they are not the mysterious reformers. Perhaps even the mysterious reformers themselves do not know what kind of Pandora’s box it has opened!” Qin Lun’s expression was extremely strange as he slowly said.

“More than a thousand years ago, in the final battle between Immortal believers and undying adepts, Immortal believers realized that neither the power of immortality nor the power of immortality should continue to exist. They used their lives to seal the power of immortality and the power of immortality in this world. Apart from the small amount of undying potions left in the witches’ hands, the world could no longer rely on faith and magic to give birth to Immortal believers and undying adepts.

However, the mysterious Albert Clan’s remoulder had created two creatures, including werewolves, using genes, which were the source of life. Look at old butler Jason. He’s a wise werewolf. The servants of Albert Castle were obviously intelligent beings of the two creatures.

The transformation of the source of life was different from the way immortal believers and undying adepts were born in the past. Their children would directly inherit the unsealing immortal power from their bloodlines. “These people are neither magical creatures nor contract creatures. They are two new humans!”

At this point, Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. He suddenly turned around and roared at the exorcists, “Don’t you understand? The Albert Clan’s mysterious reformers didn’t create an undying plague. They discovered another way of giving birth to the undead and stepped into God’s Domain! The world’s humans will face extinction!”

The banquet hall of Albert Castle fell into a deathly silence. Qin Lun’s roar echoed in everyone’s ears for a long time, and their brains went blank. Nova and Myr’s faces slowly turned pale, and then they turned ashen.

“Don’t let any of them go!” Lima’s cold voice sounded in the ears of all the exorcists. The five exorcists behind Qin Lun quickly dispersed and surrounded the Albert family and all the castle servants.

“Nova” Mel looked at the Overlord Flower, who was dumbfounded. He sighed and turned to Bonnie. “Sorry, Bonnie!”

“You don’t have to apologize to me. I’m first an exorcist, then a member of the Albert family!” Bonny’s gaze darkened and he shook his head firmly. “I will never forget the heroism of Oddo and Bly in the face of evil. I will never forget my oath!”

Bonny pulled off the bandage on his face, revealing half of the blood veins and revealing his white bones. He slowly walked to a corner of the encirclement and drew his swords from his waist to point at his original family.

“Looks like the Albert family can at least leave behind their last bloodline!” Myr sighed and was about to take a step when he saw Nova silently walking past him and expressionlessly wading into the encirclement.

With the addition of Bonny and the others, apart from Qin Lun, the remaining eight exorcists finally reached a unified state. The outlook the doctors had painted for them was so terrifying that even Nova and Bonny could no longer sit idly by. As Bonny said, regardless of personal status, they are first and foremost exorcists who swear to protect the human world.

Baron Albert slowly raised his head. The cold light in his eyes was as solid as substance. He stared fixedly at Qin Lun and asked in a hoarse voice, “Doctor Stan, I am also an exorcist. I just want to know if your accusation against the mysterious reformer is substantiated.”

“Of course there is!” Qin Lun grinned and nodded gracefully. “When I became an exorcist, I discovered from the oath of the Audi Exorcist that not every member of the Albert family was an exorcist. At least half of the Albert family’s name was not on the oath, and the mysterious reformer was one of them.

How could half of the members of an exorcist clan that had sworn to protect the Audi region for a thousand years not be exorcists?

In my conjecture, the only explanation is that these members are guarding the Audi á region in another form. They are the original origin of the two new creatures and the core combat strength of the Albert Clan against the Mayan witches.

Every generation of Baron Albert signed a contract of servants with these members, becoming another form of summoner. “Of course, the contract with the Undying Beasts also cost them dearly. Not only did it cancel out the Guardian Force, but it also shortened their lifespan compared to ordinary humans.”

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the exorcists present stirred. What Qin Lun told them was indeed the truth. However, no one had ever been suspicious of this. They simply assumed that the members of the Albert Clan possessed unique physiques.

“I wonder when the mysterious Albert Clan’s reformer was unable to endure the death of the servants around him anymore, so he turned the renovation that was originally only aimed at the members of Albert Clan into an ordinary castle servant. “Of course, these servants do not have the bloodline of the Albert family, and many people are unable to successfully transform them. This is also the main reason why some werewolves do not have intelligence.”

A hint of enlightenment flashed through Bonny’s eyes at the corner of the encirclement. He remembered the old man who had returned to human form after his death. According to the doctor, the old werewolf should have been a former castle servant.

“However, for some unknown reason, it decided to transform Little Miller, who was still an underage child, into an undying being. However, it made a mistake in such an important transformation.

The reason was very simple. Not only did Little Miller have the bloodline of his father, Stephen, but also his mother, Nina. Nina was a true Mayan witch-Mary Clare!

Stephen’s bloodline was biased towards the power of longevity, while Mary’s bloodline was biased towards the power of immortality. Originally, both of these powers had been sealed and could not be undone. However, the mysterious reformer was both a member of the Albert Family and an undying being, and he also possessed two powers.

Coincidentally, it unlocked the seal on Little Miller’s body.

Perhaps, even it did not realize that there was a flaw in the sealless seal left behind by the Immortal believers. This flaw was it!

However, these two conflicting forces were too great. They were so great that Little Miller was sick! For this ridiculous reason, Witch Mary revealed the identity of the undying.

They were chased by Baron Albert on their way to Maya Forest with their husbands and sons. Witch Mary died on the spot. Her heart core was dug up by another witch Mesa who was in charge of monitoring the outskirts of the forest. This almost caused us to be annihilated in the witch’s cabin.

Seeing his mother killed by his grandfather and his father transformed into a werewolf, Little Miller fell as soon as he returned to the castle. From then on, he fell unconscious in bed, and the unfused bloodline in his body began to produce immortal plague gas as he breathed.

Unfortunately, the Albert Clan was unable to ask for the help of the Exorcist Organization. They could only call in general practitioners one after another and infect them with the Undying Pestilence. In the end, the current major epidemic broke out.

Witch Mary is dead, and Stephen has turned into a werewolf and is being held at the bottom of the Military Vice Fort. Baron Albert and Bonny were exorcists, so there was no way they could have undying power in their bodies. Little Miller had undying power in his body, but he was the victim, and he was also not the mysterious reformer.

Haha, with this calculation, there are only two members of the Albert Clan who did not appear on the exorcist oath and who have lived in Albert Castle for many years left! One of them was Miss Laura …

However, based on another piece of evidence I have, I believe she is not the mysterious reformer!

The mysterious remoulder of the Albert Clan … is you!

The Undying Princess of the Albert Family-Elizabeth Albert! “
