Chapter 33: Bait
"Thank you so much, Helliga...... Mr. Perhaps because it was a bit of an inconsistency to watch a child old enough to be his grandson call out the word sir, the old mayor hesitated a little in the process of choosing words, but quickly adjusted, "Gunz seems to be sleeping well now...... There's nothing wrong with that. β
"Hmm...... It was probably just some of his recent emotional outbursts that disturbed his brain, so he fell into a coma...... In fact, there was nothing wrong with his body. Heliga nodded, graciously accepting the mayor's kindness of a cup of coffee he had brought him, "but I don't know if he actually used that strange little blue pill, and how much he didβso I can't tell when he'll wake up." β
"Hey...... I didn't expect anything like this to happen at all. Mayor Mare, "What the hell is this ......"
"Recently, there was information that there was once a kind of home remedies that were banned by the Qiyao Church, and some non-governmental organizations introduced it to Crossbell through unknown channels." Heiliga took a sip of coffee, "In this regard, both the church and the hospital of St. Ullas are very authoritative, so they issued a joint private statement to the government of the autonomous region, and it is hoped that they will be vigilant about it...... But it seems that this kind of overly worried has happened...... And in the process, the officials of those autonomous prefectures probably didn't look at it at all. β
What Helliga said was as if it were true, so that the mayor himself was convinced. In fact, he had only made up these words on purpose, and the old man seemed to be convinced of his medical skills and his medical insights after he had managed to calm the somewhat manic Gunz in his sleep with some special potions.
"Hmm...... That being the case. The old man first muttered to himself, since it is a private statement from the church and the hospital, how do you know? After thinking about it and thinking of Ellie's words, the little boy in front of him seemed to have a deep relationship with the church, and he didn't pursue it anymore, "What about these drugs...... What's involved? β
"I don't know...... At that time, the Church was confiscating dangerous ancient relics in various places, and these home remedies whose authenticity and actual effects had not been verified were naturally controlled...... Some of them have been analyzed by the Holy Province, and it has been determined that they are related to those ancient relics, and have been used as props for some ancient terrorist religious organizations to communicate with demons...... Although I am not sure that Mr. Gunz is using this drug. Haliga paused, "But if that's exactly what these dangerous things are......"
"That." The old mayor panicked, the ancient horror cult and demons, which only exist and are legends, have come out, but the young man in front of him doesn't seem to be joking with him, "Then what should I do." β
"I'm just telling you a story...... And it's just a possibility. "It's not a practical conclusion." But now that we've talked about it...... If you are really worried, I think it may be helpful to take Mr. Gunz to the hospital or to the church for a detailed examination. β
"Yes......" This suggestion is quite reliable, and the old mayor finally nodded with a sad face, "Then according to you......"
"Personally, of course, I would recommend the church...... Unfortunately, however, the rector himself seems to be busy with some very important work, and probably has no time to take care of it. So if you wish, I can help you to find out when the Rector will have timeβuntil then, you can have Mr. Gunz in the hospital for a full examination...... I remember that the medical insurance issued by the "IBC" should also include the cost of preemptive emergency in such emergencies, and I believe that they rarely encounter such cases, if they are willing to submit some additional help to expand their database, then the cost can also be discounted in addition to medical insurance - so you don't have to worry too much about expensive hospitalization fees and the like. β
"Hmm...... Sure enough, you're very good at medical care and everything. After a set of rhetoric, the head was the way, and the old mayor was finally able to stretch the corners of his eyes, which had been a little sour in the past two days, "Then do it...... Early tomorrow morning, I will contact St. Ullas Hospital and ask them to find a way to get Mr. Gunz well examined...... After that, ......"
"Well, wrap it up on me - I'll say hello there." Heliga nodded.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ-
After settling Gunz, leaving the medicine for the night, and saying goodbye to the grateful mayor, it was already nearly evening. Looking at the sun that was almost below the horizon, and the brilliant clouds on the horizon, listening to the tourists and miners around him praising this natural miracle - Heliga had no time to admire, but sighed a little helplessly.
"I'm sorry...... This miner brother ...... I'm going to have to use you as a gunman this time. β
It's a gamble β the odds are high, but it's still a gamble.
All the information points to one thing - the remnants of this "Order" are hidden in the St. Ulras Medical School. He was able to settle down in the hospital by taking advantage of the close relationship he had acquired from somehow with Speaker Harutman, and through this network he commanded "Rubacher" as a pawn in his actions. These medicinesβHelriga thought about it, didn't these little blue pills match almost exactly the medical report that was stored in the "Rubacher" warehouse? It's just that the graphics in that report are a little blurry.
"Rubacher has spread some of the drugs to the people, but it has not been done on a large scale...... This means that they themselves are more cautious about this matter. Then the result came - it was probably because "Lubacher" himself was uneasy and suspicious of this strange thing of unknown origin, so he wanted to circulate it on the market and see the reactions of those who bought it, and then decide whether to use it himself. β
It must have turned out like this - the team that had attacked Black Moon had won an unexpected victory, and it was clear to Rubacher how powerful this little blue pill the Speaker had obtained from a special means was. But on the other hand, there are still a considerable number of members who instinctively question these things, and the two sides argue that in the end, they have to choose such a way to verify the actual effectiveness of these drugs and whether they have any side effects. In the face of this doubt, Marconi, who had just fallen out of favor in front of Harutman, also lost his credibility to a considerable extent in front of his own members, and also lost some of the control he relied on to survive. He has no control over that.
"Let's talk about it over there at the church...... All I need to know from the mayor is which doctor in the hospital would show a "strong" interest in a particular patient like Guntz. β
