The Death List Novel - Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Infection
The Paris police station was not big, and the house was rather old-fashioned. There were only three floors in total. When everyone carefully went upstairs, something unexpected happened. The upstairs was quiet, and there was no one there. Even the wounded were gone.

“Everyone, hurry up, there’s someone here!” Just as everyone was confused, Lisa’s voice rang out in a corner of the corridor.

Jonathan, who was closest to Lisa, walked three steps to the front of the room and pushed open the door. The office was in a mess. A policeman was sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall. Because of the angle, they could only see the side of the policeman’s face. His eyes were closed and his face was pale. He held a pistol in his right hand and placed it on his knee.

“He seems to be dead!” The knife entered the room, pulled open the police officer’s finger and removed the pistol. He withdrew from the magazine and saw that there were only four rounds of ammunition left.

“There’s only one corpse. The police didn’t leave any wounded behind” Everyone had a trace of doubt on their faces.

If the police were to be defeated by the Illusory Demons in the police station, there should be more corpses. If they hadn’t been defeated, they would have left behind the wounded. After all, the streets were in chaos, and it was definitely not a good time to escort the wounded to the hospital.

“Eh? Something seems wrong?” Xiaodao suddenly shouted and pulled the corpse of the policeman over, facing them head-on.

“Bang!” Seeing the other half of the corpse’s body clearly, Xiaodao was shocked. He hurriedly pushed the corpse away and fell to the ground.

“Ah!” Lisa turned around in horror and clutched Jonathan’s sleeve.

The other half of the corpse’s body was dried up, and its cracked skin actually revealed a dark red luster similar to that of a knife’s foot. Half of his face had lost its moisture, and his skin was as close to his skull as a skull.

Qin Lun squatted down and observed carefully. The smile on his face immediately disappeared.

“Doctor Qin, how is it?” Hill asked with a serious expression.

“His fatal wound is in the rib. The mutation there is also the most serious. It looks like he died halfway through the mutation!” Qin Lun said with an ugly expression, “Judging from the condition of the wound, he died less than half an hour ago …”

“Half an hour, then the injured will turn into illusory demons within an hour!” Hill’s expression changed as he murmured, “Damn it, these Illusory Devils actually have a strong infection!”

“Lu Kuang, did that ghost martial artist mention such a situation in his game?” Qin Lun asked cautiously.

“No, no … I don’t know!” Lu Kuang was a little confused, his foreword was wrong. After the appearance of the Illusory Demon, this young man, who was carrying a fantasy, finally began to understand the cruel truth bit by bit.

“What do you mean you don’t know? Our original plan was based on the information you provided.” Xiaodao shouted angrily.

“Kuang, calm down and think about it!” Jonathan pulled Xiaodao away and patted Lu Kuang’s shoulder comfortably.

“Ghost Warrior is a role-playing game. Players rarely leave the main character’s perspective. In the game’s premiere animation, there is no mention of the infectious nature of Illusory Demons! I really don’t know!” Lu Kuang scratched his scalp in frustration and revealed an ugly smile that was even worse than crying.

Everyone fell silent. It was useless to blame Lu Kuang now. Although his information was very wrong, it was not useless to let everyone know the general situation of the Illusory Demon World.

“What about the plan we just discussed?” Xiaodao asked with a serious face.

Qin Lun and Hill exchanged glances and frowned slightly. When they were downstairs in the lobby, they discussed a way to complete the main mission one. Find the wounded in the police station first, obtain the weapons in their hands, and then use gunshots to lure the illusion demons over, using the terrain and obstacles of the police station to break through one by one.

Right now, there were faint gunshots everywhere in the city, and the Paris police and armed forces were fighting against the Illusory Demons. There shouldn’t be many Illusory Demons appearing near the police station at the same time. It is believed that there are restorative foods and weapons smeared with holy water, and it is not difficult to complete this project.

As long as the main mission one is completed, these rookies may not be satisfied with staying in the police station. With a little combat experience, they would naturally regain their courage to participate in side missions.

At that time, this rookie team would have a high chance of encountering other Samsara teams, and Qin Lun and Hill’s alien missions would be settled.

However, the unexpected fact that the Illusory Demon was infectious greatly interfered with this plan. There was only one corpse left in the police station. Perhaps the wounded had all turned into illusions and left. More importantly, once the Illusory Demons were infected, the Paris police and armed forces would probably collapse very soon. Whether the entire city could last until tomorrow was a problem.

In this way, this rookie team might not even be able to defend the police station. The entire Paris region had a population of more than 10 million. Even if only half of the citizens had turned into illusions, there would be no more safe places for bullets in the city.

We absolutely can’t wait to die in the police station! Qin Lun and Hill quickly came to an agreement.

‘”Illusory Demons are infectious. The police and armed forces in Paris may last until dark at most. After dark, their defenses will collapse. We only have half a day to complete the main mission one!” Hill muttered.

“Right now, we only have two choices. One is to find Master Zuo Ma Jie or Michelle as soon as possible, complete the main mission with their help, and then find a place to hide.” Qin Lun said indifferently, “However, this plan requires us to travel through more than half of the city to reach the originally planned Arch of Triumph and Notre Dame!”

‘”No, this plan is too risky. It will be very difficult for us to deal with two sabers. If we encounter any other high-level Illusory Demons, we will definitely die!” Jonathan heavily sighed. “We missed the best preparation time. We shouldn’t have slept last night. If we had a night of preparation …”

Hearing Jonathan’s words, Lyu Kuang’s face quickly turned ashen.

“Then we have only the last choice!” Qin Lun’s lips curled into a smile. Halfway through, he suddenly shut up.

“Doctor Qin, tell me directly!” Seeing Qin Lun’s appearance, everyone’s hearts sank. Only Hill still had a smile on his face.

“Actually … it’s not a bad thing for an Illusory Demon to have infectivity!” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently, “It is indeed very dangerous to kill a saber-footed man face to face, but killing an Illusory Demon that has been tied up for a long time is very easy!”

“Bound Illusory Demons?” Everyone was stunned, only Hill’s face flashed with a hint of realization. His gaze towards Qin Lun finally carried a hint of fear.

“Doctor Qin, you’re referring to the bound Illusory Demon” Jonathan asked, somewhat puzzled.

“The Illusory Demons didn’t arrive in Paris for long and covered the entire city from the air. I believe many Parisians have no time to take refuge. At least there are quite a few people hiding in the buildings near the police station.” Qin Lun paused for a moment before saying, “As long as we start setting up, capture one of the knives alive, and then deceive the citizens who are hiding into the police station one after another …”

“You” Jonathan’s expression changed drastically.

…

“Qin Lun, you clearly know that they can’t do it, why did you give them such a suggestion?” Hill walked to the room and leaned against Qin Lun. The voices of other people arguing could be heard faintly in the room.

“Why can’t I? It’s the safest thing for them to do!” Qin Lun smiled faintly.

“Why do you ask? Although they have become reincarnations, they are essentially ordinary people. How can they accept having them personally turn a living person into an illusory demon in such a short period of time?” Hill shook his head calmly.

“From the looks of it, it seems that you also object to this suggestion?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he cast a glance at Hill.

After a moment of silence, Hill whispered, “Yes, I don’t agree with the plan!”

“Why?” Qin Lun looked back at the shepherd with interest.

“I’m different from you! I’ve never given up faith in the Lord. The people I’ve killed are just lost lambs.” Hill took a deep look at Qin Lun.

“Is that so?” Qin Lun shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

“Did you know that before I became an apostle, I had a special ability!” Hill muttered to himself, “I can hear other people’s heartbeats, and I can tell a person’s character by the sound of his heartbeat.”

No one’s heartbeat was unchangeable. Even veteran warriors like disciple Hansen would have emotional fluctuations. Only your heartbeat never changes, like a living corpse. Perhaps you don’t care about the end result of the proposal at all. You only care about what choices they will make. ”

“Is this wrong?” Qin Lun asked in surprise, “Didn’t everyone have strong curiosity?”

Hill took a deep breath. He was not mistaken. Qin Lun was the most dangerous prisoner among all the prisoners who had entered the shattered starry sky! The dissecter has neither the concept of good nor the concept of evil. All that remained in the young man’s mind was pure curiosity and the most paranoid interest.

“As an apostle or reincarnator, your suggestion is not wrong. However, there must be a certain principle in life!” Hill shook his head with a bitter smile.

“Aren’t you and I both murderers?” Qin Lun said indifferently, “It’s not strange that they don’t agree. Don’t you think it’s hypocritical if you don’t agree? Isn’t eating human flesh also a principle?”

“I have no intention of justifying my actions!” Hill lowered his head and said calmly, “There is a reason for any absurd behavior. Even if you eat people, it doesn’t mean that you are inhuman! As long as you learn to respect every part of the food and don’t waste a single bit of it, you won’t be murdered!”

“Human nature?” Looking at Hill’s back, Qin Lun slowly fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Qin Lun shook his head self-deprecatingly and did not think any further.

During his last mission, he experienced two different emotions. It was precisely because of this that he no longer wanted to experience it. It was better not to get close to others, as long as he observed, observed.

“Doctor Qin, I’m sorry to disappoint you. I’m afraid we won’t be able to make your suggestion! Everyone has decided, let’s go to the Arch of Triumph or Notre Dame!” Jonathan walked out of the room and said sadly.
