Chapter Eighty-Three: The Death Laboratory
Kovo's hospital is less than ten meters away from the Bomberman Alliance, and his hospital is right behind the Alliance. If one day the undead summoner tears his face with them, it must be the Bomberman Alliance, Jessos is certainly shrewd, but Corvo is also not a fool, and the union of the two is full of calculations.
The hospital was supposed to be a place to save lives, but Corvo's hospital was a terrifying place, when they were not yet strangled by the Templars, Corvo secretly experimented on living people in his own hospital in the town, and when they heard that the Templars were shocked when they saw the basement of the hospital, they moved all the instruments in the basement and the human body used for experiments to the Holy See, and the captain of the light cavalry ordered everyone to be sealed, and the files of the Holy See about this incident were also blocked.
Walking out of the back door of the Alliance, Luo Jie saw a white, low building. From a distance, the window was clear, but Roger could smell blood far away.
"I'm a little skeptical that I've made the right decision to form an alliance with you," Roger said, sniffing his nose.
Jessos said, "I'm sure you'll do it even if you know it's the wrong decision, and you'll do it to the end."
He reached out and pushed the door open, the strong smell of blood came to his nose, Roger had to cover his nose and frown, the place was as silent as death.
"He's the only one here?", Roger asked.
Jesus waved his hand, "If you mean a living person, or a 'human', then the answer is yes", the two men walked down the long hallway, the sound of footsteps echoed in their ears, and the rooms on both sides were lined up, and Roger asked Jessos with his eyes.
Jessos said: "The rooms on both sides are samples of the human body studied by Kovo, I don't recommend you to see it",
Roger waved his hand.
In fact, even if he didn't open the door, the specimen would appear in front of him, and he would walk down the hallway to the end, turn right and go down the stairs to the basement of the hospital, where a man in a white lab coat was holding a scalpel and slicing a human body on an iron bed.
On both sides of the bed are transparent glass containers, which contain all kinds of mutilated human bodies, broken corpses, organs, and limbs soaked, most of which are taken from the human body, soaked in the container to maintain freshness and cell viability, in addition to many of the skinned animal carcasses soaked in the container, which looks eerie and terrifying in the dimly lit basement.
Although Roger is not a little timid, it is the first time in his life to see this kind of scene, and his scalp can't help but feel a little numb.
There is no doubt that the man in the white coat is the notorious black apothecary Kovo.
He didn't look back when he heard the footsteps, and continued to let out a low laugh with the sharp knife in his hand, "Jessos, have you brought a new captive?"
As he spoke, Roger could see clearly that he was dissecting a headless corpse, the scalpel in his hand slashing upwards through the corpse's stomach.
"No, Corvo, my new ally wants to see you," Jessos said "I" rather than "we", meaning clearly.
The Bomberman Alliance has always been in a weak position in cooperation with Corvo, but in order to survive, they have to cooperate with him. If the Bomberman Alliance alone could not survive in the Valley of the Guillotin, the undead summoners feared Corvo far more than the Alliance.
As a result, it was difficult for Jessos to take advantage of the negotiations with Corvo.
The apothecary, who had lived for more than fifty years, was a cunning and difficult old fox.
Hearing Jessos's words, Corvo turned around with a smile, his eyes fixed on Roger, who could see his face as well.
His face was a little longer, his forehead was already wrinkled, and he didn't know if it was because he often stayed up late or for some other reason, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked terrible in the dimly lit basement.
"Haha",
"Hahaha",
After seeing Roger, Corvo suddenly burst out laughing, his shrill laughter reverberated in the small basement, and for a moment Roger and Jessos felt their eardrums vibrate, and there was an indescribable depression.
Corvo walked up to Roger step by step, looked into his eyes and said, "Little ghost, you want to know the meaning of life?"
He looked at Roger with bloodshot eyes, and Roger smiled: "That's a good guess, for me this is the value of looking for you",
Although his actions just now made Roger feel a little crazy, it did not affect his calm thinking and judgment.
"Wrong", Corvo grinned, "because you're a puppeteer",
Well, Roger and Jessos were in their hearts at the same time, for Roger, the identity of the puppeteer was an ulterior secret, and the more people who knew about it, the more dangerous it was. For Jessos, he also hoped that the fewer people who knew the identity of Roger Puppeteer, the better, and only then would this "handle" be valuable to him in writing.
Roger looked at Corvo with some jealousy, he didn't show the slightest trace from the moment he entered the door, why did he know the identity of the puppeteer?
Was it an unintentional temptation?
"That's a novel guess," Roger laughed.
Corvo grinned again and turned around and walked to the container on the left, in the two containers connected to him were two complete human bodies, a middle-aged man was soaked in the container, and the other container was soaked in a boy less than ten years old.
"Little ghost, human genetics are very magical, appearance, talent and even source power can be inherited. You see, soaked in these two containers is a father and son, take a good look at their facial features, the similarity is staggering. Look at their hair, it's the same golden yellow, and there are many similarities between them",
Roger waved his hand and said: "Doctor Corvo, it's not that two people with high similarity in appearance, talent, and hair color are related by blood."
Corvo looked back and said: "That's true, the best way to identify whether two people are related by blood is blood, but for me, I can tell whether two people are genetically related by the naked eye, even if they are not so similar on the surface",
"Imp, do you still wonder why I know the identity of your puppeteer?", Corvo smiled knowingly as he looked at Roger.
Could it be
A thought suddenly crossed Roger's mind, and Roger, who had always been calm and sharp, suddenly changed his face, and he knew the answer
"Because that person is a puppeteer, the man who challenges gods and demons", Corvo walked up to Roger step by step with his hands behind his back, looked at his eyes and said slowly: "Little ghost, you are a puppeteer, you are the same kind of person as me, you and I have the same kind of blood flowing in our bodies",
"You want to explore more than the meaning of life, death has a fatal attraction for you"
