Volume III The Wayfarer in the Dark XXXI The Lurking Vampire

"Do you know about porphyria?" This was the first question that Urashima Nagato said when he talked to Baron.

Baron was smoking a cigarette, a term he remembered overhearing him from stopping his movements.

"Is that vampire-like disease?"

"Personally, I still don't like to associate the two, and while vampire legends may be caused by this disease, they shouldn't be labeled badly either." Urashima Nagato sighed a little.

Porphyria, which is a rare congenital disease, but there are also acquired cases, people with this disease have problems with hematopoietic function, and patients are afraid of sunlight, facial features and fingers will be deformed, there will be manic phenomena in the spirit, and there are also extremely abnormal patients who choose to suck blood.

A scholar once made an irresponsible statement, which was eventually denied, but vampire disease became synonymous with porphyria.

Baron extinguished the cigarette in his hand: "So what do you want to say." ”

"A year ago, we discovered that a Fusion in our breeding had porphyrias, and we disposed of the Fusion to be safe, but it turned out to be more serious."

This matter has developed beyond many people's imagination, because porphyria is a rare case that is rare in normal people, but a Fusion actually suffers from this disease.

But unexpectedly, shortly after handling the Fusion, symptoms similar to porphyria appeared on all the Fusions in their possession.

What's more, Fusion, which suffers from porphyria, has created a new Fusion with this disease, which can infect each other in a very short period of time as long as it bites a creature.

Urashima Heavy Industries took emergency measures to dispose of all Fusions and incinerated them, and one of the staff members who was bitten was also quarantined, and the original breeding room was dismantled, so that new Fusions could be re-bred to continue research.

Originally, the matter was solved at this point, but the headache has just begun.

About three months ago, a member of the institute suddenly disappeared, and Urashima Heavy Industries personnel thought it was a simple disappearance, but two more researchers disappeared in the next three days.

Urashima Nagato hired a high-ranking armed police officer to investigate, and it was discovered that the missing people had all been killed by the first missing person.

He hid in a temporarily abandoned laboratory in a research institute, and when he found out, the whole scene almost made people faint on the spot.

It was like a slaughterhouse, all black and red, with blood all over the walls, and the prisoner was there to eat people.

But he still has reason, although he may not even remember who he is, but he hid here and ate two people, and it is impossible for him to hide here for so long without any reason.

The night after the prisoner was captured, the Fusions rioted, and then another man began to exhibit strange phenomena and bite off one of his colleague's arms alive.

After a series of actions, the situation was finally brought under control, and the two people who were Fusion were the ones who had served as the last Fusion breeder, but the two of them had undergone a medical examination and there was no abnormality in the report.

Urashima researchers eventually discovered that a completely new type of cell had been collected from these people, and this type of cell was characterized by the fact that the infected person did not have any problems in the first place.

The infection of these cells is troublesome, and if it is injected into the bloodstream, it will immediately become fusion, but what is more dangerous is that these cells can be transmitted through the air.

At that time, the entire research institute was basically infected, and these viruses were destroyed by the body's immune system, so there was basically no problem for a while, but there were a few people who did not destroy these cells.

The cells that are not destroyed will gradually erode the human mind, and the person will gradually become excited, then crazy, and then have a strong desire for human flesh and human blood.

At present, Urashima Heavy Industries has blocked all sources of infection, but this news has been leaked, so there is an incident in which Urashima Heavy Industries was attacked.

This is where the Fusions that appear in large numbers in urban areas come from, and the more creatures that are bitten, the more Fusions there are.

Baron listened to all this without saying a word, and Urashima Nagato's face was not a little afraid, as if it was a normal thing.

Baron's look was very bad: "Why don't you report this?" ”

Urashima Nagato spread his hands: "I'm not telling you now." ”

Suddenly, Baron thought of something extremely dangerous, and he could barely keep his composure.

"If it can be transmitted through the air, then the whole North has already begun to infect people."

Urashima Nagato smiled, as if it was a matter of course: "Of course, but Fang Xin, the incidence of those cells is only 1%, and the ability to divide is limited, the number of offspring is limited, and in short, the number of patients is limited." ”

"How many are there!"

Urashima Nagato looked indifferent: "The number of infected people is estimated to be 10,000, and the time of onset is unknown, which varies from person to person." ”

10000! What is this concept, there are now a thousand man-eating monsters in the entire northern capital, and the population of the entire northern capital is 10 million people, among which there are 10,000 man-eating monsters hidden.

Urashima Nagato stood up: "We are very worried about this matter, but I think if it is known to people in society, you can understand how much panic it will cause. ”

"Then why did you let me know." Baron heard something in Urashima Nagato's words.

"You people at the top have to let it know, and you can help bring the situation to them."

That's all there was to Urashima Nagato and Baron's conversation.

Calles listened to everything without saying a word, and then asked with a dark face.

"That's why there's homicide work every day for the next day."

Baron nodded, this kind of thing is estimated to get more and more serious.

But in the end, Urashima Nagato said that Urashima Heavy Industries is currently developing a drug that can kill these cells, but it will take time, and in order to avoid causing panic in the future, the Beijing Inspection Bureau, which knows about it, will have to help them.

This matter is obviously the people above to find fault with the Northern Inspection Bureau, and when it comes to protecting the citizens, it is necessary to ensure that the matter is not leaked, and once it fails, the Northern Inspection Bureau will bear some responsibility, and Urashima Nagato told Baron about this matter to give them a problem.

Calles scratched his head: "Forget it, this matter has been solved with great difficulty, let's go have a drink." ”

"That's okay, call Yu Xin too, I haven't been together for a long time." Baron didn't say anything else.

"Go for a barbecue in the evening."
