Chapter 606: Dead fog

"This is..." Xia Fan frowned.

"Smelly corpse," Qianyan said, "but it wasn't caused by corruption."

"Why is that?"

"The peculiar smell that comes out naturally after being stored for a long

time is common in the mortuary and tomb." She replied.

"No trace of a living person was found," Li had already completed the search

over there, "Du Lin is not here."

Xia Fan lit the portable torch, the darkness faded, and the basement revealed

its original appearance. It is really spacious here, at least thirty feet long

and wide, and many compartments are separated by low walls. A firelight seemed

not enough to illuminate every corner. Fortunately, there were a lot of

candlesticks in the room. He lit them one by one, and the room suddenly became

brighter.

The most striking thing is the seven or eight bed frames placed in the

basement-but the bed is not covered with bedding and other fabrics, but is

covered with chains and iron shackles. Spots of blood can be seen around it,

and various tools such as pliers, knives, and hand saws are placed on the low

bedside table.

However, the medical technique of this era is still in the stage of exploring

the curative effect of herbal medicine, and some techniques have excellent

healing effects, making the concept of surgical treatment far from taking

shape. Therefore, when seeing these blood-stained and rust-stained

instruments, Xia Fan immediately understood that Du Lin would never be a

healer who broke through the thorns in pursuit of medical skills. He just

transformed it into his own torture room and sent it to him. The people here

are used as experimental rats to carry out some elusive experiments.

"It seems we didn't find the wrong person." Qian Yan said coldly. Although she

is accustomed to seeing all kinds of deaths and has experienced many absurd

things, it does not mean that she has silently accepted this, "Du Lin is not

an ordinary tower doctor."

"You are right." Xia Fan agreed. If you want to say that this guy is just a

raging pervert, he would be underestimated.

There are not only instruments of torture in the room, but also various

experimental equipment-such as distillation tanks, glass flasks, heating

furnaces, etc.... There are more things Xia Fan can't name, but they are all

neatly placed The iron frames on both sides of the wall seem to have been

carefully maintained.

A psychopath obviously does not waste energy on such things.

More importantly, those large-scale appliances are not cheap at first glance,

and in all likelihood, craftsmen make them specially based on drawings. With

Du Lin alone's ability and financial resources, it is really difficult to

decorate the basement to this point.

This also caused a problem in Xia Fan's heart.

What exactly does his so-called experiment mean?

In some folk tales, evil people will piece together various corpses to create

monsters that resemble abominations. It's a pity that if you put it in

reality, this simply won't work. Not to mention the high-level rejection

reaction, it is difficult for most people to get a sterile operating room. The

cut pieces of meat are no different from the steaks bought in the mall. I want

them to be combined and still maintain activity, no different from the Fang Ye

Tan.

Unless with the help of magical power.

But Rutherin made it very clear that Du Lin was just an ordinary person, not a

demon owner. He has run the nursing home for so long, and certainly not

prepared to attack the church convoy.

"Xia Fan, a thousand words, come and take a look at this!"

Suddenly Li's whisper came from the other side.

The two followed the sound and came to the fox demon.

I saw a similar study on the other side of the basement, but in addition to

the long tables, bookshelves and other common things, there are also two

peculiar wooden barrels on one side of the wall-the classic color scheme of

black and yellow and the skull painted on it. The sign almost showed its

danger on the face. But this is not what surprised Li the most. What really

caught her attention was the sun pattern on the top of the barrel.

Only the Church of Hera is qualified to use such emblems.

"Could it be that the church is leading the matter behind this matter?" Li

puzzled. "The person in the mirror who spoke with Azie is actually a member of

the Church of Hera?"

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why church stuff appears in the basement

of the nursing home.

"Maybe we can't draw conclusions so quickly." Xia Fan noticed that there were

still a few warning patterns painted on the barrel. With his limited level of

Western Ji and the content of the icons, he could roughly tell that it should

be "Handle with care". , "Keep away from heat", "Non-professionals should not

touch" and other meanings.

If the church wants to bring certain dangerous goods into the Azure Fort,

there is no reason to write all the warnings on it.

It is more like a very rigorous packaging container, or the kind of mass

production.

Using such a thing to play conspiracies and tricks, will you not be afraid of

being caught?

"Look around and see if you can find any new clues." He said calmly.

The three of them immediately started rummaging through the cabinets, hoping

to find some guidance.

Soon, Xia Fan was attracted by an experiment record on the desktop.

The handwriting inside is very neat, even he can understand a lot.

Turning to the next few pages at will, the other party's record becomes

shorter and shorter. "Time is very tight, and consuming only the people in the

hospital can easily arouse suspicion. I can only collect manpower from the

outside and carry out multiple comparison experiments at the same time."

"The effect of potion No. 26 is too lethal, and the blue iris flower does not

have an effective attenuation effect. A total of two people were consumed, and

the test failed."

"Pharmaceutical No. 28, failed."

"Pharmaceutical No. 31, the death time was extended to six hours. This is a

rare breakthrough, but there is still a certain distance from the target."

"The trial team's investigation is more sensitive than expected. The above has

shortened the operation date again. I can only do two additional experiments

during the day. I hope everything is still in time."

"Pharmaceutical No. 35, the effect of the dead fog was greatly suppressed. The

three experimenters persisted for a full 12 hours. No matter the degree of

physical corrosion, the spirit is still awake, and I feel that success is

close at hand."

Then came the last page, with only one sentence on it.

"Pharmaceutical No. 37, I found the perfect formula."

Xia Fan's heart sank slightly.

Even through the paper, he can feel the urgency of the other party. According

to this record, Du Lin's "action date" has been shortened to the point that he

took the risk of being discovered in large numbers to capture outsiders, and

stayed in the basement for a long time to experiment. Now that the experiment

is complete, when will he choose to do it?

Could it be... now?

At this time, Li also discovered two unusual things through the smell.

They are placed in a wooden box on the bookshelf. The wooden box itself is not

locked. It seems that the contents are not rare things, but Li realizes that

these two things are by no means ordinary.

Because their taste is quite unique, it is incompatible with the blood and

stench that fills the room.

It was an exquisitely crafted gold and stone pendant and a guard document.

"What's written on it?" Xia Fan noticed this different piece of paper.

After roughly scanning it, Li couldn't help but condensed his eyes, "An

outgoing slip, indicating that the Shouwang Island garrison was ordered by the

church to deliver ten barrels of dead fog from the sea, as well as

instructions on the precautions for the dead fog itself."

"Dead fog"-This term also occasionally appears in test records.

She pointed to the dense rows of small characters below, "It was collected

from the edge of the sea, and it is extremely pure. It has a very strong bone-

eroding effect on any living thing and most demons. Once inhaled or injected

into the body, it will damage the body. Irreversible, ordinary treatments do

not work, so a full set of protective equipment must be worn, and extraction

and recovery must be carried out carefully."

"Warning: In the event of accidental contact, the best way to deal with it is

to immediately end the life of the contacter, so as to reduce the pain of his

erosion and fracture."

"Note: When used to kill demons, a hazard assessment is required to minimize

the spread and residue of dead fog on land."

At the bottom of the document is a signature, which Xia Fan can read without

reading it out-"Issuer: Major Ferdinand Loken".

"This is all right," Xia Fan muttered, "The murderer, the evidence, the

purpose of the crime...we have everything we are looking for."

"You mean, the enemy attacked the church convoy, actually to get dead fog from

Watch Island?" Li asked.

He nodded, "From the official document, this army stationed on Watch Island

belongs to the church. If they rely on the identity of the Son of the Holy

Spirit, they can receive this dangerous item without knowing it."

"In other words—this pendant belongs to the Son of God?" Li lifted it up, "but

why did the murderer throw it in such a place?"

"Because it is useless. The news on the island is blocked again, and after ten

and a half days, you will know what happened in Azure Fort. Once the other

party acts, this information gap will disappear." Xia Fan groaned, "On the

contrary, leave it. In the basement, it can actually create an illusion of

self-direction and performance by the church. The same goes for those barrels

with dead fog..."

The other party not only didn't care about the information leaked on the

container, but also deliberately placed it here grandiosely. The intention can

only be said to be quite obvious.

"But what do they want to do with the dead fog?" Li turned his gaze to the

document again. "According to the content of the warning, it seems that if

this thing is poured into a well, it can cause a lot of harm in the city, but

Du Lin didn't have it. Do it."

"I just checked his test record. What he pursues is not the killing effect of

Dead Fog, but to prolong the pain it brings to people." Xia Fan looked solemn,

"This reminds me of something."

"You want to talk about the bronze relics?" Qianyan said nonchalantly.

He nodded slightly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "The sole purpose of these

things is to make people experience the most painful and desperate torture

before death, so as to create an atmosphere of resentment."

And these breaths are the best raw materials for nurturing evil spirits.

If the other party's purpose is this, then a series of things they have done

will basically make sense.

"But there is still a problem with this explanation." Qianyan did not

immediately agree. "Azieu must know this, but what good is it for him? Helping

the murderer create evil to attack Azure Fort will definitely affect him. It’s

not a good idea to look at the factories and shops in China."

Xia Fan also felt that the argument of the living dead is not unreasonable,

"unless he can get greater benefits from it."

At this moment, Li suddenly pricked his ears.

"Shhh, there is movement above my head!"

The other two immediately held their breath and looked up.

I saw a few wisps of light blue smoke floating from the gap in the ceiling of

the basement, like a soft gauze, silently covering it below.
