Chapter 8: The Magic Hand (3)
With that, Duck activated the monitoring circle, in the circle, two tall men in black clothes and felt hats sneaked up at the door, looked around, took out a lock-picking tool called Nightingale, opened the door lock and slipped in, rummaged through the east and west, and then went to the bottom of the counter and didn't know what to do, and after a while, two people sneaked out with a bag of alchemy materials, and they didn't forget to lock the door.
Isabella was furious: "Burglary in broad daylight?
Duck said: "I don't think it's burglary, be careful, don't touch it when you go in." β
The three of them entered the door, and Duck went straight to the counter and leaned down to check: "Ah, there is a triggered flame circle installed under the carpet, let's see where the traction line is...... Just sit down, pick up the test tube rack -- boom!"
Francis exclaimed, "It's not theft, it's premeditated murder! Why would they do it?"
Isabella said angrily, "I knew there was something wrong with that red-haired woman!"
"It must not be her, and it won't do her any good to kill us. If you get EMP and flash, maybe there is still a little possibility. Come to think of it, where else have we met these two guys before?"
"No, just the tavern. However, for a while, we didn't offend them. β
"They were sent by the alchemist who had the Francis Gang experimenting. They know that we have come into contact with him, and they want to kill us. I greeted Francis, who became suspicious. β
Francis didn't understand, "Why? β
"Because you've run away from Fartigan, he thinks you've sensed something and wants to get out of his control. So, little brother, if you want to survive, you'd better tell us the truth about what's going on. β
That night, Duck went to the Inquisition and visited Captain Vanessa.
Vanessa heard that there was a great credit to share, so she hurriedly gathered a few members of the team with strong strength and active brains and held a secret meeting.
Duck casts a huge wall chart of hand bones on the magic image: "Look, everyone, this is a normal human hand bone and muscle anatomy......"
One of the team members who knew medicine exclaimed, stood up and said, "This is really a perfect picture, can you keep it...... Ah, big sister, I was wrong!"
Vanessa slapped the troublemaker over: "If you interject again, the old lady will let you sit in front of the gate of the inquisition for a day with this picture in your mouth!"
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry!"
Darker smiled and continued, "Let's look at this one again. β
This time it was an amazement. But no one spoke again.
"It can be clearly seen that the second hand is overdeveloped, and the palm is propped up large and wide, such a hand is very good for grasping, and the developed muscles bring terrible grip strength, according to my calculations, crushing walnuts or something is just pediatrics, it can easily crush a person's skull. Such muscles can never be naturally generated, they are heretical. β
Vanessa frowned: "This heresy is too easy to admit, right?"
"It's not hard to identify and remove, it's hard to find out who made this technology and what he's going to do. β
Someone couldn't help it and said, "Maybe it's good to be a porter? It doesn't have to be to this extent, it would be nice to be able to ensure that you have a lot of strength and don't drop things." In appearance, it will only be considered a big hand. β
Duck said, "I'd love to think of people for the good as you do. You're wrong, though. There's one in my houseβthe one you beat this morning. β
Vanessa said, "The one called the Demon Hand? β
Yes, he prides himself on the strength of the grip, not the strength of the whole. All the opponents who broke his wrists and lost the battle were defeated because the hand bones were shattered and deformed. Kick off the fight, and anyone in the room can kick him over. β
Vanessa's lack of interest: "I thought it would be a great credit to grab it and send it up." β
"The test subject will surely die, and the real heretics will go unpunished. β
"You're saying there's a whole bunch of heresies behind this?"
"You can only grab a big basket of grapes if you hold on to the vines, right?"
"That makes sense, what's the next step? Go to Fartigan to arrest people according to the confession?"
"Since that alchemist can hide in Fartigan, he must have run his own power, and it is obviously inappropriate to go to Fartican to look for a needle in a haystack, and maybe he will be bitten back. It's better to put a long line to catch a big fish. β
Vanessa raised an eyebrow: "Oh, doesn't that sound good, but you're also an alchemist, right, how can you help us papal lackeys in turn?"
This sentence is said sideways by everyone.
Eldest sister, you turned us all into lackeys with one word. If you want to hack, you don't need to hack yourself first, right?
"Alchemy itself has a law of development, and at this stage, it is better to retain reverence for God. All non-human life forms can be played casually, and things related to human life should not be touched. That's my opinion. β
Vanessa wanted to retort, "Then after this stage, can you even play with the gods?" but after thinking about it, she swallowed it back.
Even if it's a pervert, it's a pervert who sits on the mother's side with her ass, so keep it first!
"So, what is that heretic in your hands, no, what is the experimental object of heresy?"
"The polluted, or rather, some of the polluted. β
"What do you mean to be partially contaminated?"
"I extracted some of his palm musculature and found something interesting. β
"What?"
"When I cut open his palm, I found that it was not blood, but a yellowish-green viscous liquid. β
"What's that?"
"Slime secretions. β
"Slime?!"
"A slime that is extremely small and can reproduce by parasitizing on the muscles of the hand. It likes to suck blood, and then, secretes this mucus to promote muscle growth in the hands. I reasoned that if it was allowed to grow, the person would gradually become anemic and weak, but the hands would become stronger and stronger. β
"Sounds strange that parasites can be good for people?"
"The muscles in the hands have become stronger and the rest of the body has become very fragile, and I don't think that's beneficial. β
The arrest team looked at each other, and one asked, "Will it be contagious like the Black Death?"
"It's not clear, it doesn't seem like it can pass through our veins, muscles and skin. Moreover, it seems to be only interested in the human hand, and there is some kind of special restriction that hinders it. β
Vanessa snorted coldly: "Hmph, is the leash of the biting dog in the hands of the villain?
"So, guys, we need to know who the villain is, and who he's going to let the dog bite. β
"What's the plan?"
"Right now our opponents are most concerned about the condition of the experiment, they already know that the subject has been in contact with me, and they are very quick to react, and they have already started to arrange to kill me that afternoon. We're going to split up, you keep an eye on the subject, and if they send someone to make contact with the subject, take that guy under control immediately. β
"What about you?"
"I'm always at home for them. I guess they don't dare to stir up a crowd, and if there are only a few people, they will clean it up. β
"Don't you be unable to hold on, how many brothers will you leave?"
"No, if they knew we were connected, they would definitely retract it. If you don't help me, I'll be safe. β
