Chapter 220: Unfulfilled Happiness
Cold sweat almost soaked Rano's back, he clenched his fists to embolden himself, and shouted to the door, "Eurica! Shalotte! The plague doctor is here, catch him! ”
Suddenly, a light flashed outside the door, and the moment the plague doctor turned around, Sallotte swung her sword and pierced the mysterious body. Then, Eureka flattened his back like a wolf, her claws ripping off his mask, tearing countless blood marks on his pale skin.
The doctor was caught off guard by the sudden attack, and he nearly prostrate on the ground, arched to his feet, and threw Eureka to the flower board with his wall-hard leather wings spread out behind his back.
As the shadow receded, Draenor drew his dagger and slashed at the Plague Doctor's back, the hilt of the sword felt the touch of metal cutting through the flesh, and just as he pulled out the flint and was about to set it on fire, the shadow once again bound the body of the man.
A circular secret door suddenly opened in front of him, as if to suck everything around him into Qi Zheng's scarlet blood marks gradually receded, the plague doctor turned around and glanced at Draenor with those gray eyes that were enough to pierce the soul, and then, he turned around lightly and stepped into the secret door Zheng
The moment the secret door closed, the shadows that bound him gradually lost their texture and fell to the ground, and Draenor chased to that strange corner, where there was no so-called secret door, and the plague doctor disappeared in front of him like a snake sinking to the bottom of a lake.
"I'm sorry sir...... We let the prisoner escape......" Charlotte slapped away the straw that had stuck to her body and bowed apologetically to Draenor and Dino.
"Those are not important, there are no casualties, this is a blessing in misfortune......" Dino walked towards the group with Miliusa's body in his arms, gently rubbing Draenor's back with his elbow, it seemed that he still did not relieve, "Do you see the true face of the plague doctor?" ”
"Hmm......" he nodded slightly, but what was the use of that? The plague doctor could have put on a new mask and continue to wander in the shadows of Kerton as if nothing had happened, and unless he was seen to be reduced to ashes, the nightmare would eat away at his sanity day and night......
"Whatever he wants to do, the first priority is to send this child to the guild for medical treatment first." The captain bowed his head and walked outside the barn, waiting for Draenor's reply.
"The brute ...... who turned an innocent boy into a monster," Draenor grabbed the mask that the plague doctor had left in the doorway, cursing, tearing the bird's beak to shreds. He turned and motioned to the crowd, and ran back to the carriage with Dino, who could not delay for a moment, and must take him to the Guild Hospital.
[After two o'clock, Kailar District, Guild Affiliated Hospital]
The hallway outside the hospital room was silent, and in the dim light, Draenor sat on the bench hunched over, his eyes fixed on the ground, replaying over and over a scene that had happened not long ago.
From the pale face, it was enough to tell that the other party was indeed Azra, but he did not make a visible attack while he was bound by the shadows. With the power of the Bloodline, the plague doctor can easily rip off his own head, or bite his neck to drain the blood in his body......
The members of the investigation team who were present at the time were almost unable to suppress the other party in the slightest with all their might, and those methods against the beast obviously did not work, except for silver weapons or sunlight, nothing else could pose a threat to the epidemic doctors.
The biggest suspicion was that the moment he and the epidemic doctor looked at each other, he clearly heard the other party read his name. The plague doctor knew himself, or he had been waiting for him in that gloomy barn. And the rescued child, the epidemic doctor didn't seem to pay much attention to him, Miliusa has been locked up in the ground, the innocent child is like a test subject, an experiment prepared for some reason......
His eyebrows tightened together toward the center of his eyebrows, and he felt beads of sweat already cover his forehead. Miliusa's rescue was the goal that the members of the investigation team tried to achieve, but it was not as difficult as they imagined, and it seemed to be a planned and inevitable fact.
"It's a trap......
Draenor folded his fingers on his lap, his own speculation creepy to his core. Miliusa was undoubtedly using the bait to lure herself out, and the moment she looked at the plague doctor, she had already revealed the fact that Vicilico was hiding somewhere in Kerton.
Suddenly, someone gently tapped him on the shoulder, and Draenor reflexively turned his head and saw the other person's face with the help of the light.
"Still worried about Miliusha?"
The captain took his shoulders and sat beside him. Draenor pursed his lips and reluctantly replied, "Sort of, the bestiality is not a ...... that ordinary people can cure."
"Huh?" The other party let out a surprised laugh, pushed Draenor with his elbow and said to him, "What are you talking about?" I just made it up! The results of the drug test have come out, there is no bestiality, and Miliusha is forced to inject Barbados lily pollen, which also contains a lot of caffeine, and it is these bad things that make him aggressive. ”
Draenor took the report sheet from Liunuo, the name of the plant seemed familiar, perhaps a type of Zhu Lian.
"This plant, which causes a person's body temperature to rise, heart rate to increase, pupils dilate and hallucinate, was long ago used by the Licus as a medicine for narcolepsy. Dr. Ellos suspects that the medication has been over three days, but not to the point of being life-threatening...... Oh yes, his full name is Levert. Elos, a doctor of the Spirit Clan, has been working here for many years, and Miliusa will recover soon under his care. ”
Similar to the effect of belladonna...... Draenor recalls the first half of Dino's words, but what he saw in the vault at the time was exactly the same as the description in the horror story......
He covered his face and shook his head, it must have been the long-term reversal of day and night that had made him a little nervous.
"What's Maruna's plan? I think it's best not to tell her all about it yet......"
Draenor recalls the moment he first arrived at the hospital: the captain held Miliusha's twisted body tightly until he gently put the child on a stretcher and watched the nurses carry him into the emergency room.
He couldn't imagine the sad look on the frail mother's face when she saw her scarred son......
"But it has happened, and Miliusa at least got out of that hell alive...... That's all we can do. The messengers had informed Maruna, and she should be there by this time. Helplessly but firmly, the captain took out the round metal box, pinched the powder and sent it to Kou Zheng
Within a few minutes, there was a cacophony at the other end of the hallway. Draenor stood up and looked over there, only to see Duke and the other two members of the team approaching this way, supporting a thin woman in a light brown dress, and Charlotte gently caressing the woman's bare back, there was nothing else to comfort the poor mother.
"Lady Maruna, please calm down first, Miliusha, ......"
"My son! Where is he? Maruna looked at the captain with indescribable eyes, and clenched the corner of her skirt with her free hand.
Dino sighed, he knew that no matter how much he comforted the other party, it was in vain, so he simply took a step back and pointed to the ward on the side of the corridor, "Accident and Emergency Room 6, he is resting, it's best not to disturb him......"
Without saying a word, Maruna shook off her arm and ran to the door of the ward, where she saw her son, who was covered in gauze, through the window. She forced herself not to cry, and slowly pushed open the door and walked in.
"You don't have anything excessive, do you?" Dino asked as he turned back to Duke.
"No, it's just that Miliusa is out of danger and is lying in the ward......" Duke tilted his head, not daring to look directly into the captain's gaze.
"Uh-huh......" Dino exhaled as if sighing, and walked softly to the door of the ward to look at the mother and son who had been reunited after a long absence. Then, he took a step towards the end of the hallway, paused for a moment, and looked back at Draenor.
"Don't be stunned, do you want to wait for that woman to thank you in person? It's almost dawn, and we need to get back to the watchtower before Jett gets angry. ”
