1213 Butterfly Boy 28
"It's not a disease...... I suspect it's dirty blood. โ
When the old doctor explained the experiment to them, no one listened carefully except Lan Shuying, and the three of them were still arguing on the side, trying to splash the dirty water on others and be an innocent white lotus.
Until the old doctor himself overturned the previous conclusions.
After he threw out the word, the argument came to an abrupt end.
Lan Shuying was puzzled.
She thought and thought about it, making sure that the butler didn't have it in her memory.
"What's that?"
The old doctor was stunned for a moment, and then dutifully popularized science.
It was supposed to be a frightening rumor.
It is said that the Bloods who roam the night carry a curse on every drop of blood.
This contaminated blood is called dirty blood.
They cannot reproduce properly, but can only be passed down from generation to generation through blood, and humans are a source of food for them and the most suitable species for breeding offspring.
Rumors have lasted for hundreds of years, after all, there is no evidence, and most people just listen to stories to scare the disobedient children in the family.
The problem is that in recent years, there have been frequent disappearances in various places, which is very strange. People associate these events with the occult, and the rumors are revived, and many detectives and scholars go around searching for the truth.
His teacher was one of them.
Lan Shuying changed to a salted fish sitting position suitable for listening to stories.
"Please continue."
The story begins early in the morning, and the old doctor speaks slowly. He and his teacher once encountered a strange patient who was walking alone at night and was found lying on the ground at dawn.
They went to the rescue, but before they could speak, they saw him dead, and they didn't even have time to diagnose him as having some kind of emergency.
When the man died, he quickly decomposed into liquid, leaving no hair or bones left, just like Madame Butterfly in front of him.
After that incident, the teacher began to inquire about similar things.
Some people reported that they had fallen into a coma before they died, and they had met handsome young men and women, but they could not remember the details, only that they had been alone with each other, and then they fainted.
What happened in the meantime?
I don't know.
"The teacher didn't let me participate in the research...... He's been missing for a long time, and some of the information I've seen in his manuscript. I thought I wouldn't need it in my life, but I didn't expect it to be so fast...... Although I don't know what Madame has experienced, judging from these manifestations alone, I think it has something to do with dirty blood. She had faster seizures and more severely. โ
Some people will mutate into blood after receiving dirty blood, while others will die of rejection, which means that the transformation has failed.
The old doctor frowned, and the second half of the sentence did not come out:
The bloodline who provided her with dirty blood was not ordinary.
He still remembers that his teacher once solemnly told him: "Don't go out at night, the legend is true!" โ
"I saw the teacher extract a drop of black blood from a corpse...... Legend has it that the fangs are injected into the blood vessels, and the teacher said that in most cases, needles were pricked. โ
He paused, his eyes a little helpless: "It must be said to the outside world, the official statement is that a man-made gang committed the crime, and what is injected is not blood, but toxins." โ
"Privately, we'll guess it's the Bloodline."
"I trust my teachers."
He also felt that the teacher's disappearance was related to the Bloodline, perhaps dying in a place where no one could find out, or it could have become the Bloodline that he had in mind and was exploring more mysteries.
The old doctor pointed to Madame Butterfly's unmelted arm and said, "In addition to the needles on the waist, there are also pinholes here, which are wider in diameter and blackened around them. โ
Lan Shuying glanced at it: "So...... Respiratory failure, the cause of her death, is also one of the rejection reactions? โ
The old doctor nodded, wiped his sweat again, closed his eyes and waited for it to fall.
ยท
He has made three judgments.
Initially thought to be poisoning;
The second judgment was that the mixture of unknown toxin and anesthetic was fatal;
In the end, he ruled out the anesthetic through experiments and said that the cause of death was "dirty blood".
At first glance, this repetition seems a bit nonsense.
But Lan Shuying believed.
She was sure of who the "dirty blood" came from.
He's in this manor, very close to everyone.
He has countless messengers here, and even if he stays in the coffin himself, there will always be messengers who will bring "dirty blood" around Madame Butterfly for him.
The Grand Duke who was slaughtered was the first owner of the manor...... While giving orders to the little peacock, he couldn't help but take matters into his own hands.
The cook whispered: "I have heard the story of the blood clan since I was a child, and my grandfather mentioned to me that this manor used to be the property of a blood clan...... "If the old doctor is right, there must be a blood clan around, which makes her have to think of the hero of that story."
The coachman came from out of town, and he only frowned when he heard it. In fact, as soon as Madame Butterfly died, his nephew's feud was over. It's just a pity that she didn't die in his institution......
The washerwoman stared at the corpse that continued to melt for a long time, and the corners of her mouth curled.
ยท
"Don't tell me the murderer came out like this......" Lan Shuying walked behind the door.
The argument between the men was like a joke.
The murderer was indeed not between them, which happened to be the prompt of the master.
"I didn't say it, I just said that you can play as much as you want...... "The Illusion Master weakly explained, "The highest difficulty is not difficult to find the murderer, but it has changed a lot, so I'm afraid I won't find the murderer......"
Lan Shuying: "In this way, discovering dirty blood is the key turning point. โ
"Yes, yes, yes."
It's all their own people, and the master of the illusion decisively reveals his greedy design and discernment.
In the script of the current difficulty, the focus will shift from puzzle solving to survival, so it is not difficult to find clues, the difficulty is in the duke, how the participants have to escape from the duke's attack range.
Participants can stall in any way, but they can't get out of the estate.
After the Duke appears, participants have to survive for three days before they are eligible to leave the crystal ball.
"Oh......" Lan Shuying touched the bottle under his clothes, "When will he come out?" โ
The Illusion Juggernaut sniffed out a wave of anticipation, "......"
I almost forgot that this is a ruthless man who wants to kill the blood clan directly.
So, there's no need for comfort, right...... Apologies, even more unnecessary.
"It takes 12 hours to break free from the seal."
"That's right...... You can dismiss minions or use them as cannon fodder. Juggernaut said nonchalantly, "Anyway, when the script is over this time, they'll be gone." โ
"Gone?"
"Ah, all the participants who have failed before, who do things according to the script and can mislead newcomers. For example, if you receive an innocent character who is accused of being a murderer by others, you can't help yourself get away with it......"
Lan Shuying realized: "Then I'll stay, and they go?" โ
"That's right, hehe, a few of them are too stupid, they lose every time, their souls have shed too many layers, this is the last time." The juggernaut was very interested, and suggested that she take a good look at these characters and don't let them out!
