Chapter 23: The Aftermath Group
Lie Yu's astonishing words really made Edaki a little incomprehensible, she thought that Lie Yu would be eager to leave immediately after knowing everything, so she asked curiously, "You mean to make a deal with me, right?" ”
"Suffice it to say, after this explosion, you should already know that I am immortal, and you are the third to know this secret besides me and my mother, so I need you to establish a reciprocal contract with me to ensure that my secret is no longer known to outsiders, of course, in exchange I will still stay to assist you in apprehending the fugitives
"Huh?" Adaki paused, "Why do I want your help?" ”
As soon as her words came out, Lie Yu's face became even more gloomy, and he seemed to be a little reluctant to shout, "Idaqi! ”
"I make a deal with you, not by what you want, but by what I have." Lie Yu's face instantly became serious, and what he said surprised Idaqi even more, "Poof! ”
Amused by Lie Yu's words, she let out a tone of surprise and a little smile, it was the first time for Edaki to hear such a funny statement, maybe for Lie Yu, these days on Earth are the time when the mood changes the most in a long life, but for Edaki, these two guys are not so much partners as enemies
"It's really interesting.,If you don't want me to leak the secret and use magic spells to make me amnesia.,But the amnesia spell can only work for a short time.,After a long time, I still remember that it's not a good choice.,He said that it's reasonable to make a deal and make a contract.,But why do I always feel something weird.,It seems that you have to be cautious.,Well~~~ Try him with that.。 ’
For Lie Yu's proposal, Idaqi responded after thinking for a moment, "Okay, the trading conditions you said are reasonable, and I'm not unacceptable, but ......"
Idaki seemed to think of something and paused, but Lie Yu saw that Idaqi had signs of agreeing, so he said anxiously
"But what"
She pretended to be a little entangled for a while, and then said, "This matter is not understandable, you and follow me to a place first, and then you should think about whether to stay or not after reading it"
Led by Idaqi, Lie Yu then walked down the stairs to the 21st floor of the hospital building, with the entrance to the diagnosis room and ward on the left, but now there were two nurses standing on the left and right sides, pulling a yellow barrier over their knees.
It seemed that this floor was a place that ordinary people couldn't enter, but Ai Daqi approached directly, not only was she not stopped, but she also swaggered in with the respect of the two nurses, and Lie Yu followed although she was a little confused.
It was full of nurses and doctors walking back and forth, and from time to time, Lie Feather could see the patients in the corridor with their eyes open and in a daze on the mobile hospital beds
"Here?" Lie Yu asked
Adaki quickly replied, "This is a special treatment area for shadow demon victims, these patients are basically from the residents of the wish community that has been blown up, and not only here, but also the lower three floors are the same storage area, probably more than 300 people." ”
"So much!" Lie Yu said in surprise
"Heh, is this called a lot, if you count those sporadic cases abroad, it will be more, and when the Shadow Demon, a mutated Shadow Clan, was sentenced to eat the shadow of an entire planet, directly making a civilization disappear into the universe, and just three hundred people are just an appetizer for him."
Lie Yu couldn't help frowning after hearing Ai Daqi's words, and said, "Why is it that such a terrifying thing comes out of your mouth as simple as chopping vegetables. ”
Adaki sneered at this and didn't answer, and when Lie Yu saw this, he didn't say any more, but turned the topic back to the purpose of coming here
"Then why did you bring me here on purpose, could it be that you have found a way to cure them."
"Hmm~ You can also say that, but it's not accurate, I asked the aftermath team to gather them here just to bring them back to life."
Lie Yu, who still didn't know why, followed Idaqi to a ward, where there were two or three people dressed as doctors and nurses standing around a thin man who was lying on the hospital bed staring in a daze, seeing the arrival of Idaqi and Lie Yu, the doctor led by him immediately stepped forward to say hello, but Idaqi waved his hand to stop him, and said
"How's the preparation going?"
"It's almost time to report to your lordship, and now it's about to be dealt with." The doctor's voice was flat and methodical, reporting the current situation, and Idaqi nodded slightly when he heard this, motioning for him to continue.
Seeing this, Lie Yu seemed to have guessed something, and his voice trembled slightly, "What are they going to do?" ”
"Aftermath," Idaki said briefly, and then, right in front of Lie Yu and Idaqi, a nurse pulled out a transparent container with an unidentified jellyfish-like goo that glowed with a pale blue fluorescence and was constantly moving.
Then I saw the doctor take out the thing with tweezers and put it on the thin man's head, it first moved twice on the forehead, and then seeped into the skin as if it had melted, disappearing without leaving a trace, and after a while, his eyes returned to clarity and blinked, and even moved his limbs slightly, just like Idaqi said, people came back to life from the state of the living dead.
Lie Yu watched through the special glass, all the patients in the ward were being repeated, and the "treatment" he had seen before was silent.
Idaki leaned back against the door panel and looked at Lie Yu's flat gaze and didn't know what she was thinking, and Lie Yu's reaction after knowing the aftermath team's handling was just as she guessed, Idaki could feel the emotion, panic, insecurity, and anger emanating from Lie Yu's body.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she said slowly, "The abnormal situation of more than 300 people is not a trivial matter for this earth country, and it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to shock the human government and cause a huge panic. ”
"But it is impossible for the shadow demon to come back, the black shadow he said before is a human shadow is a lie to hit you, with his virtue, I am afraid that he will absorb them all the moment he eats the human shadow, plus the shadow demon is dead, these humans are even more unlikely to be saved."
"But the current situation, the aftermath team can only use the collective food poisoning caused by groundwater pollution to hide the world, as for the group of victims who went to the hospital because of food poisoning, then they must be cured, so we can only replace their consciousness with a substitute puppet in order to let this group of living dead people return to social life, and there is a small probability that people will not be able to perfectly integrate with the substitute puppet to do death treatment, but it is within the acceptable range."
Idaqi's words were like a sharp sword piercing into Lie Yu's mind, so that he understood what the aftermath was and what was to deal with, and he finally opened his mouth after being silent
"But they obviously didn't die, but because we lost the rest of our lives, it's too unfair to them," his hand clenched into a fist, expressing his unwillingness
"There is no such thing as fairness in the world, I think you yourself should know in your heart that it is impossible for them to be rescued again," Idaqi stroked the glass window, and looked at the "lived" people inside without saying anything.
Lie Yu asked tremblingly again, "Then I rescued it before.. What about Song Ya.."
Adaki replied, "Do you think that as an appreciated person, she should have been the first to be sacrificed." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lie Yu was silent again, and at the same time, Idaqi also thought in his heart
"Hey~ Sure enough, it's this decadent look, sure enough, Lie Yu, you are a completely different person from me. It seems like it was a wise decision to let you go. ’
Idaqi took advantage of Lie Yu's silence and said, "I know that in your concept, no life should be sacrificed, but there is not only one interstellar prisoner who escaped, even if the human society seems to be quite peaceful on the surface now, but this situation will definitely not be less in the future, and even become the norm, after all, with the development of the current earth civilization, our existence cannot be discovered, and this is already the best way to deal with the aftermath." ”
"Okay, I'll tell you everything I need to tell you now, as for whether you want to continue the transaction, think about it again, don't force yourself too much."
After Idaqi finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back...
