Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Water Falls, and the Stone Emerges (Part 9)

The layout of the Forever Pavilion clinic is no different from that of a general infirmary. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

In the center of the room is a table with folding chairs on each side, which are the seats for doctors and patients. There are several large bookcases on the walls, which contain many books related to medicine, as well as some bottles and cans of unknown purpose. The examination room is divided in half by a cloth screen, behind which is an iron bed, which is mainly used for palpation and the doctor's own lunch break.

Unlike the outside hospitals, there is not such a strong smell of formalin, but instead the smell of Chinese herbs. There wasn't much storage space in the small treatment room, so there must be a large enough warehouse in this Forever Pavilion to store those herbs!

Nalan and his party didn't stay in this room for long, because the equipment here couldn't meet their requirements. They were going to the operating room, which was located at the back of the clinic.

When he first entered the operating room, Nalan Yu was still slightly surprised, after all, no one could have imagined that there was such a modern operating room hidden in this quaint old house.

No, not just "modern", but "ultra-modern". Nalan thinks that he is a vampire who mixes well in human society, and he knows a little about modern medical care. However, more than half of the equipment in this operating room was something he had never seen before, and the remaining half was only slightly similar in appearance to medical equipment from the outside world.

All in all, the level of technology here is much higher than that of human society in the outside world. In this Gensukyo, where history has long stopped advancing, it is inconceivable that there can be such a black technology clinic.

"Doctor Bayi, is he really just a doctor......" In his heart, he couldn't help but have such a question.

"Does the back of my neck look good, Mr. Nalan?"

At the door of the operating room, Doctor Bayi suddenly turned around and said this to Nalan Yu.

"Ah, it's not ......"

As soon as Nalan said this, he sensed that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words:

"No, I mean, it's pretty, but that's not my focus. ”

"Oh?"

The doctor stood there, turned around, looked at Nalan Twilight with a smile, and said:

"So, what exactly are you looking for?"

"Hmm...... For example...... Nalan Hui turned his head around and smiled, "Doctor Bayi, do you like football?"

"Football?" Doctor Bayi was stunned by the inexplicable question, "I remember it was the ground...... It's a very popular sport out there, and why did you think of that?"

"Well...... this"

Nalan Yu swept around the Bayi Doctor's attire again: wearing a nurse's hat, a white coat, red and blue inside, and the skirt was also printed with the pattern of stars and gossip.

At first glance, this dress is not a very eye-catching style, but its color scheme really makes some people have to look twice.

"There's a football team's uniform outside, and it's about the same color as yours, I'm afraid I'm thinking too much, right?"

"You do think too much, but this kind of superfluous thought is quite interesting. ”

Doctor Eight said, and turned around, and the hemp braid, which was braided with her silver hair, slid from her shoulders and back behind her back.

"By the way, doctor, this hairstyle isn't for you......"

Of course, the above sentence is just thinking about it in my heart, and it is impossible for Nalan Yu to say it.

"Put it on top of this. ”

Dr. Bayi walked to the operating table, turned on the dazzling operating lamp above his head, and then began to select the instruments that could be used.

Nalan Yu casually pulled out a surgical cloth from the cabinet next to him, spread it flat on the operating table, and then took out the headless corpse and its lost head from the large cloth bag and placed it on the table.

As soon as the mouth of the cloth bag was opened, an unbearable stench filled the room. The barnyard fields Aqiu and Honju Xiaosuzu, who came in with Nalan Hao, both wrinkled their bitter gourd faces, and covered their mouths and noses as much as possible on the basis of maintaining their breathing, eager to stop breathing.

"Here, put this on. ”

Nalan Yu rummaged through the metal shelves next to the operating table, took out two medical masks, and handed them to Ah Qiu and Xiao Ling.

"What you will see next will be full of blood, violence, and unbearable nausea, and if you feel scared, you can run away at any time. He reminded.

"I'm totally fine. Ah Qiu put on his mask and said calmly.

Despite being covered by a mask, Nalan Twilight could still guess her expressionβ€”it must have been a face that didn't change at every turn.

In comparison, Xiaoling's side is not calm at all:

"I ...... I'm totally fine, and if I don't leave, I'll stay here too!"

When she spoke, she couldn't help but shiver, could it be because the temperature in the operating room was too low?

"Really?" Nalan smiled, "Then good luck to you!"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Nalan, don't you wear a mask?" asked Aqiu.

"I won't get sick, and I'm not afraid of the smell, so there's no need to wear that kind of thing, right?"

"That's right......"

"Mr. Nalan!"

Dr. Bayi in front of the operating table had already put on an apron, a mask, a surgical cap and medical gloves, and the equipment he needed was already at hand, so he shouted to this side to remind Nalan Twilight who had deserted.

"Ah, got it. ”

Nalan walked directly opposite Doctor Bayi in three or two steps, pulled two rubber gloves from the glove box and put them on himself, and then asked:

"What can I do for you?"

"You follow the line I draw, cut its belly, and ......"

Under the guidance and help of Doctor Bayi, it didn't take much time for Nalan Yu to empty the contents of the corpse's abdomen and arrange them neatly aside.

He has never done this before, and this time he is back in his old business, he is naturally familiar with the road and does it well, and even the famous doctor on the side can't help but praise him for "having the talent to do forensics".

"Then Doctor Bayi," Nalan asked, propped his hands on the operating table and said, "Can you see anything from this corpse?"

"Sex of the deceased, male, age, approximately 45 years and three months, time of death, three months ago, presumably embalmed to delay the decomposition of the body, cause of death, unknown ......"

Doctor Yayi said in a voice as cold as a scalpel without any emotion.

"Three...... Three months ago?" Ah Qiu's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "But didn't he just ...... it"

Originally, this question should have been raised by the Motoju Suzu next to her, after all, the little bell talked more than her. However, the guy was now foaming at the mouth and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Just because you can move doesn't mean you're a living thing, right?" Nalan said, "Ah Qiu, do you know such a thing as a 'zombie'?"

"Zombies, is that the kind of corpse in the legend, controlled by Taoist stickers?"

"yes, that's it. In fact, in the underground world of vampires, there are also many dark magic that manipulates dead bodies to serve spellcasters, and as for the effect......

Nalan Yu pursed his lips and continued:

"That's probably it...... Chasing girls, scaring and scaring children, etc., if you do it with real knives and guns, it will be cannon fodder. ”

"But fortunately, its cost is low and the output is high, so it still has a little strategic value. I'm more concerned about ...... than that."

"Doctor Bayi, what do you mean by 'unknown cause of death'?"

"Literally, I can't tell the cause of this guy's death on the surface. "The main organs are all normal, except for the fatal wounds left by you when you killed them, there are no obvious external injuries, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a person who will die violently in his forties, and the specific cause of death must be determined by a more detailed examination." ”

"yes, it's a pity, but it doesn't matter. Nalan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, it's just a dead man, no matter how he died, I don't care." ”

"What I really care about is ......"

As she spoke, she suddenly took the scalpel and stabbed the dead man in the head, or rather, into the eye socket to be exact.

"Hiss......"

Ah Qiu, who was not far away, couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene, and even Doctor Bayi, who had been keeping calm, frowned.

"Are you going to whip the corpse?" asked Doctor Eight.

Indeed, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the inside story, Nalan Twilight's actions seem a little crazy.

"No, I'm going to dig out the truth, along with its eyeballs. He looked up and smiled.

He pulled the scalpel that had been inserted into the eyeball out, and directly pulled out the eyeball, which was half rotten and not so round in shape, along with the blood vessels and nerves.

"I don't see any rationality in your actions. Doctor Eight shook his head, but didn't stop him.

"You see. ”

Nalan took the eyeball off the blade of the knife, placed it in the palm of his hand, and pinched it thinly, white and yellow juice running down his fingers. Then, he slowly opened his five fingers and showed what was left behind after the shell was removed.

"It's ...... Gems?"

Doctor Bayi looked at the red transparent crystal, which was lying quietly on Nalan Dusk's palm, and felt both familiar and a little strange for a while.

"Words are stored in books, electronic information is stored in chips, so where should the woven spells be stored?" Nalan said with a smile, "The answer is here." ”

"Let's call this thing a 'magic crystal'. It's a man-made gem whose only purpose is, as I said, to store spells. ”

"Actually, when I saw this guy in the forest," Nalan said, pointing to the corpse, "I already had a rough guess of its existence." ”

"Remember your own autopsy report, Doctor Bayi. ”

"Do you mean, 'The reason why the deceased lost his resistance is unknown'?"

"Yes, exactly. After reading the results of your autopsy, I immediately concluded that the murderer was a vampire, after all, vampires are masters of hypnosis, and it is easy to do such a thing. ”

"But now it seems that I was too hasty...... But the general direction is right......"

"Ah Qiu," Nalan asked, turning his head to Ah Qiu, "You tell me, do zombies have the ability to cast spells?"

"Huh?" Ah Qiu was stunned for a few seconds, and then replied, "I don't think there are ordinary zombies. But after a long period of cultivation, it's hard to say......"

"As she said, ordinary zombies, if they can use magic, then they can do it!" Nalan continued, "But what if someone had already 'equipped' spells in their bodies and let them activate them automatically......

"That's it, it's connected!" Doctor Yayi clapped his hands and said excitedly, "The incident at the Monster Mountain, and the many attacks that followed, but ......"

"There are two questions in your head, one is where the lost blood goes, and the other is who is the mastermind. Nalan Yu stared into the eyes of the Eight Meaning Doctor and said, "But, actually, ......"

"By the time I dug up the pebble, I had already guessed who the killer was. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's no wonder you're wondering, after all, in the world of vampires, it is also a technical problem to attach a powerful hypnotic technique to a miniature magic crystal and implant it into the eyes of the living dead, and to make it work for a long time!"

"But as it happens, I have the impression that there is really such a master who can do this. ”

"Coincidentally, not only did he have the motivation to do so, but he also happened to need a lot of blood to complete his plan. ”

"That is to say......"

"I'm sorry, I had to miss the company first. ”

Nalan took off her dirty gloves, threw them into the trash can on the side, and then said to Ah Qiu:

"Let's go, Aqiu, I'll send you back to the village. Then I'll have to hurry up and go to Hakurei Shrine, this thing really can't be done without Reimu......"

"Ah, okay!"

Ah Qiu answered, then squatted down and shook Xiaoling's shoulder.

"Little Bell, wake up, it's time to go!"

"Wait!" said Doctor Bayi.

"Hmm, is there anything else?" Nalan Twilight, who was about to leave, turned his head and looked at her with a confused expression, "The corpse and the two stones inside are given to you, so feel free to study them." ”

"No, it's not that thing. Doctor Bayi took off his mask and showed a smiling face that was not very comfortable, "The treatment fee has not been paid yet!"

"Treatment?"

"The cost of the little girl's treatment," she said, pointing to the little bell lying on the floor, "plus the cost of my afternoon's work, and the cost of using the operating room." ”

"Unfortunately, I don't have a penny on me. Nalan Yu rummaged out his empty pocket, spread his hands, and said.

The copper coins he got from selling his watch were all used by him to play a game of marble with Fran and the stupid goblins who lived in the Lake of Mist. Most of them ended up being catapulted into the lake, and the rest was given to the goblin.

Of course, even if he had money, he wouldn't go out with such a big bag of copper coins, and in that case, even the standard of dress would be lowered.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Doctor Bayi smiled and said, "If you don't have money, you can pay with your body......"

"Huh?"

Nalan looked at Doctor Eight Meanings dumbfounded, almost forgetting what he had heard.

"Auntie, it turns out that you have this interest?"

"Hehe, you misunderstood me. I mean, I'm slightly interested in your body. ”

"Is there any essential difference between these two sentences?"

"As a vampire, you can travel every day, what is your body structure?" Doctor Eight Yi stared at Nalan Twilight's chest with an intoxicated expression, as if he was staring at a lion with sheep.

"If I can study it a little, I will give this 'treatment' for free. ”

"If I don't agree, you're not going to let me go, are you?"

"Of course. ”

"Again, are you going to dissect me?"

"Don't worry, it won't hurt you. ”

"You're going to deny me!"
