"So, that's what you're calling it for?" Hans pointed to the blood.

Then he let out a weird laugh when he saw that the epidemic doctor said such a sentence in a rare and serious manner.

"Ah, Mr. Zero, what do you want to do when I am summoned? See a doctor, see a leg, or modify the plague? Hey, hey, hey. ”

"I see a 'sickness' in you, do you need me to heal you......

His words make you shudder, and you think of the mountains of corpses and blood you once saw.

"No, no, no, 'Plague Doctor', as Hans said, I want you to examine that drop of blood first, and then tell me how this plague happened. Mr. Zero said hurriedly.

"Oh oh oh, you call it blood. The plague doctor laughed maliciously. "Since you say that, it means you know something. It looks like just a drop of clear liquid...... Ah, it's just filth. But from our point of view, it's not blood......" he whispered close to Mr. Zero, so that Hans couldn't hear what it was.

Mr. Zero didn't look surprised at all, just nodded and motioned for it to continue.

"As for the plague, it was not caused by nature, with the Great Church as the center and multiple locations spreading outward at the same time.

"But perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a miracle than magic. ”

"What—" Hans cried out in surprise, but ......

"After all......" The epidemic doctor laughed more and more crazily, "those people are obviously not dead, but the 'disease' on their bodies is all gone!"

“...... What are you talking about? Not dying? This can't be! Most of the patients are dying in plain sight or even buried in plain sight. Hans retorted, then realizing a question: "What do you say 'sickness' is gone?"

"......," Mr. Zero smiled wryly at Hans, "the one who claimed that they had been cured after killing everyone." ”

"Yes, yes. They die in your eyes, and then they merge into ...... disease-free bodies," the "plague doctor" muttered, but shrugged, "just like I dreamed, but sadly, it was the exact opposite of me. ”

"That's right. Hans gestured 'you continue' to Zero, but actually remembered the monster's behavior before the last event.

He claimed that everything that was alive was "sick" and did not hesitate to kill them, but called it healing.

Although he would also express his guilt and grief for those who had died, he was still killing like this.

- and they used the most extreme means of the usual treatment of the epidemic doctors, and then made them extremely vicious.

It's just ritual torture.

"That's right. So, what exactly is the source?" Mr. Zero shook his head and asked bluntly.

"Gods of flesh and blood. The biggest source of poison. ”

The plague doctor fiddled with the scalpel in his hand, pointed to the droplets suspended on the tip of the knife, and said, "This thing is also contaminated by His presence. Probably the same or similar. ”

"That's right. "Mr. Zero doesn't seem to have the slightest suspicion that this butcher who kills without a calculation will lie.

"In that case, I ask you to help stop this plague. ”

He bowed his head slightly, so please.

“...... Hey, didn't you listen to me, just like my dream happened, why should I stop it?"

The plague doctor sat on the sofa at Hans's house, looking a little restless.

"Anyway, it's the plague. Since it's a plague, the 'plague doctor' is going to stop it and help those who are infected with the plague, isn't it?"

Mr. Zero smiled and looked at the epidemic doctor.

Hans could not describe the depth of meaning in Mr. Zero's eyes, nor the look of the eyes he saw under the mask of the "plague doctor".

But after staring at Mr. Zero for a moment, he saw that the "plague doctor" looked away, "I'm not sure to cure this plague." ”

"You're an epidemic doctor. If you can't do it, who will?"

Mr. Zero kept his smile unchanged.

"But that's a god! Divine nature and divine power have long been a calamity!" Although you can't see its expression, you can feel that this monster is now completely exuding an aura of rejection.

"I'll figure out how to solve the problem of the gods. The plague it brings is up to you, the doctor, the expert, to solve it. We all have what we are good at. ”

Mr. Zero's tone is a bit like ...... Machinery before starting?

Why did such a strange description come to my mind?

Hans felt a little weird inexplicably.

“...... Alas. All I can say is to delay it as much as possible. "The plague doctor turned around and disappeared into nothingness.

"I'm sorry for you. "Mr. Zero bowed slightly—

In the direction of Hans.

Hans didn't know if he was talking to the "plague doctor" or the plague doctor. But it doesn't seem to matter. The point is......

"I always felt like we'd all be wanted if it got out. Hans said to Mr. Zero with a bitter face.

"Oh, of course, of course. ”

Mr. Zero gave Hans an eerie smile.

Oops! I'm going to be killed!

This was Hans's first thought.

But what he didn't expect was that Mr. Zero showed a slightly surprised look and said, "Don't you know yet? My wanted notice has already spread all over the country." ”

Before Hans could react, Mr. Zero packed up and left the room.

"Excuse me, farewell, Mr. Hans. Come on?"

"This ...... I'm out of luck......" Hans, who had been at home for many years, didn't know about it, and only then did he wake up from a dream.

Isn't it time for me to pack up my things and run away......

Inexplicably helping a wanted criminal, if someone sees it in and out or even knows......

"You're not going to come to my house 'openly', are you?"

Hans shouted as he tried to chase him out, but he felt something hold down on his shoulder, and he couldn't get out of the doorway.

"Of course no one else will see it. I'm not so stupid as to implicate someone else. Mr. Zero didn't look back, just waved his hand, "No need to send it hahaha......

"I think you're going to be busy right away. ”

"Are you busy running...... "Hans felt unlucky enough to die.

He turned his head tremblingly, trying to see what had appeared on his shoulder.

A white-gloved hand appeared in Hans's eyes.

“...... So you're not gone yet......" Hans struggled to squeeze out an ugly smile and turned to face back.

The "epidemic doctor" put away the scalpel and placed the dim lantern in his hand smoothly on the shelf beside him.

He looked at Hans and said, "Perhaps I need a little help from you, young man...... You're a plague doctor, aren't you?"

"Please don't talk as if I'm walking with you...... I'll just help. Hans felt that after a while, his heart was about to fail, and his face must have wrinkled like a bitter melon.

"Huh. The doctor sat down and looked at Hans calmly.

Hans felt as if he saw the light of wisdom in the other's eyes, not at all like the murderer he remembered.

“...... That's all there is to it. Would you like something to eat?"

"Just do something. ”

"Wait, you're really eating?"

"Physiologically, I don't need to. But who says you can't eat if you're abnormal?"

“...... Anyway, there were only sausages and bread left. I had planned to go out for a long time and not come back, and I didn't leave anything to eat at home......"

"That's fine. ”

"You're welcome ......"

Thus, the days of the two epidemic doctors living together began.
