When Duanmu Huai came to the inquisition stronghold of this planet again, this place had already changed into a different appearance.

The castle occupied by the Astral Army hasn't changed much, except that they've added a reactor underneath to supply energy————— of course, given the Inquisition's principle of making the best use of everything, this thing can turn into a giant bomb at any time and completely destroy everything here.

And near this castle is a bustling town.

Originally an abandoned town, the wanderers and prisoners rescued by the Astral Army from the orcs became the first inhabitants of the town, repairing the wires and bringing light to the area. Now the town is becoming more and more prosperous, they use the monetary standards between the nomads to trade——— of course, the entire land belongs to the Inquisition, any nomad who wants to live here must be vetted by the Astral Army, and any disputes will be decided by the Inquisition.

Although you can see the Astral Force patrolling the streets, the people here are relatively stable.

At least for now.

When Duanmu Huai arrived at the stronghold, he immediately gathered a number of influential vagrants here for questioning, including some traveling merchants, as well as doctors and warriors.

And from their mouths, Duanmu Huai finally learned the whole ins and outs of this matter.

“……… In other words, this strange plague appeared suddenly? Hasn't it been seen before? ”

After listening to everyone's report, Duanmu Huai frowned and looked at the wanderers, who all shook their heads.

"Not at all, in fact, we hadn't seen a plague like it even a year ago..............."

However, at this moment, I saw a nomadic merchant raise his hand.

"My lord, in fact, many people suspect that this is the poisoning operation of the orcs, because recently they have been defeated and found that they can't defeat humans, so they used this method to release this new type of plague, after all, everyone has never seen ......... before"

"Nope."

However, it was at this moment that a man spoke.

"I should have seen a similar plague."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai glanced at the other party curiously, he remembered that this man seemed to be a soldier who had been rescued from the orc's lair.

"You've seen it?"

"Yes, when I was caught and carried away by those damn orcs, I saw them attacked by another group of orcs, they just glowed all over their bodies, and their eyes were glowing, and I thought it was some new type of orcs........."

"Sure enough!"

Hearing this, others immediately talked about it.

"I knew it had to do with those damn orcs!"

"They must have done it!"

"That's it! Quiet! ”

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, and the wanderers below suddenly closed their mouths obediently, while he stared at the void in front of him and frowned. The reason is very simple, at this moment, in front of Duanmu Huai, a system information appeared.

【Hidden Mission Opportunities——— Survival and Destruction】

[A strange plague is spreading on this planet, threatening all life, investigating and completely eradicating it]

【Objective: Eradicate the Plague】

[Mission Failed: The Whole Planet Is Infected]

So serious?

If at the beginning Duanmu Huai was a little unconvinced, then now, he feels that this matter is probably more serious than he imagined, if the entire planet is infected, then there is only an extinction order. And this means that this plague has the potential to infect all life forms on the entire planet!

We have to figure out what the hell these damn plagues are all about!

"I see."

Duanmu Huai thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.

"I'll send a team of Astral Army to investigate the source of the plague, and you can also inquire with the wanderers to see if there is any news about these plagues, whether it is rumors or rumors, report them all. Also, from today, a quarantine facility will be set up at the entrance, and anyone who wants to enter the town must go through quarantine. By the way, and at the same time, a physical examination will be carried out for the homeless people currently living here........."

"But my lord........."

Hearing this, the doctor raised his hand with a sad face.

"We don't have enough manpower.........

"Oh, it's not a problem, I'll give you an icon, you set it up in the clinic and the quarantine center, anyone who is sick, you can go and pray to it."

"Uh............... What's the use of that? ”

"Probably cure."

“………………………？？？”

If it weren't for Duanmu Huai's fierceness, the doctor would be afraid that he would directly complain, "What about you kidding me?" Worshipping an icon can heal a disease? So what's the use of these doctors?

Facing the doctor's puzzled eyes, Duanmu Huai could only shrug his shoulders, this can't be helped, people in the general technology world will feel very weird when they hear this kind of thing, but ......... Who told the world that there really was a belief in gods?

"It's good to be a comfort in my heart, anyway, I don't want money, I believe a little bit."

"This ............... Okay, I got it. ”

Although the doctor didn't quite understand Duanmu Huai's thoughts, he also knew about the belief in the Inquisition, after all, the people who lived here had to know this, of course, for them, the faith in the Inquisition was not a bad thing, and protecting humanity and exterminating any existence that threatened humanity was taken for granted in the eyes of these people. Therefore, they did not think that there was anything wrong with the belief of the court, and considering that it might have a certain effect on the psychological factors of the patient, the doctor agreed.

But when he returned to the clinic, the doctor immediately regretted it.

"What the hell......... It's really no problem??? ”

Looking at the icon in front of him, the doctor was also speechless.

In front of him was an icon sent by the warriors of the Astral Army, which had a cast iron base and looked rather heavy. Above the base, there was a huge war hammer with its head on the ground, the handle of the hammer standing high, and three horizontal bars and a human skull diagram on it.

This is the icon of the Inquisition.

Why are they skulls.........

Looking at the holy statue in front of him, the doctor was also speechless, he had already discovered that almost everyone in the Inquisition had skull marks on their bodies, whether it was those Astral Army warriors, or their commanders, and even the stronghold was full of skulls. Of course, the doctor also asked why, and the answer was that ——— unmutated human skull represents the sacredness, purity and purity of human beings, and represents the meaning of fighting for humanity.

Although this is true, this decoration really looks too much like a villain!

Originally, the doctor was expecting the other party to send a statue of a beautiful woman or a cross or something, but this thing ......... Can it really reassure the patient?

I'm afraid that when I came in, I thought this was a morgue.

What if I have a bad heart and am scared straight away?

"Doctor, what is this?"

Then the nurse came over and looked at the icon in front of her in confusion.

"Uh......... It was sent by the trial court and said that it would calm the patient's mind........."

“………………… Doesn't that scare people? ”

"Don't ask, it's not something we should discuss."

The doctor reluctantly persuaded the nurse, signaling her not to talk too much, the area occupied by the Inquisition is essentially a military rule, here, the orders of the Inquisition and the Astral Army are the most important, they are not a weak government like Cog, in fact, at the beginning, there were some homeless people who came here to try to fan everyone to fight against the Inquisition, the result............

Just look at the corpses hanging from the gates.

The Trial Chamber does not accept negotiations, let alone threats.

Although the Inquisition is very high-pressure, but for ordinary vagrants, there is no inconvenience in life, those Astral Army in addition to maintaining order and patrolling, almost no trouble to the nomads, at first these nomads will be worried that the Astral Army will be like those soldiers of the Wei'an government, bullying them and other behaviors, but later found that as long as you don't violate the law, the Astral Army will not care what you do at all, let alone ask them for a card, so they are relieved.

Like the nurse complaining now, it doesn't matter if she talks about it, and she is not worried that someone will arrest her for this, but out of politeness, the doctor still stopped her from chewing the root of her tongue.

After all, this is on someone else's turf, isn't it?

Soon, the clinic opened, and the doctor returned to his office to get to work for the day.

For doctors, this is not a relaxing job, and the most important reason is that ——— lack of medicines.

That's right, medicines.

If it is a traumatic injury, maybe the doctor can still deal with it, but if it is a disease that needs to be treated with medication, it is very troublesome, and the court has imported a batch of drugs from Manalia to treat the disease, but these drugs are at most anti-inflammatory, sterilization, disinfection and pain relief, and do not have a good effect on some basic chronic long-term diseases.

So in many cases, even if the disease is diagnosed, there is no cure......... After all, the pharmaceutical factories were blown up.

However, the disease still needs to be seen.

"Whew......... Whew........."

Just as the doctor was seeing the doctor, suddenly, a patient walked in, it was an old man, and for the doctor, he was already a regular visitor to the clinic. The old man, who had been a soldier in his youth, had been wounded in the war with the Orcs, and when he spoke, he was panting like a bellows, so that when he heard the bellows-like sound, the doctor knew that he was coming.

"Uncle Hank, you're here again?"

"Yes, doctor............... Call......... Is there any good medicine........."

"This ......... Sorry, I don't really have any particularly useful medication on hand at the moment. ”

In the face of the old man's inquiry, the doctor spread his hands helplessly, the old man's lung infection is very serious, it is not a day or two, if it is in peacetime, maybe it will be more effective to use a large number of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, but unfortunately, at this time, similar drugs are more valuable than gold, even the doctor has no stock here, he only has the power to prescribe medicines——— medicines are kept by the Astral Army, and ordinary people can't get them at all.

"Yes......... Ay......... By the way, what's that weird thing out there? ”

"Oh, that's the icon of the Inquisition......... If you want, Uncle Hank, you can go and pray, maybe it will be better. ”

"Okay......... Hehe, I see. ”

Hearing the doctor's recommendation, the old man smiled and turned to leave, while the doctor shook his head and continued to look at the next patient.

"Hoo ..............."

Leaving the consultation room, the old man took a breath, he actually didn't have any particularly boring thoughts about the doctor, after all, he himself knew that he was a long-term illness and difficult to treat, if it was another disease, I was afraid that the old man would just endure it, after all, age is here, maybe one day he will die.

But the illness in front of him is so difficult that almost every time he breathes, the old man's lungs feel like a heated bellows, and all he exhales is hot and hot air, which is like torture......

"Hey..............."

Sighing, the old man dragged himself and walked towards the door, and when he came to the icon, he looked at it carefully, then folded his hands and closed his eyes. Although he did not believe in the idea that prayer could heal the sick, the old man was grateful to the court. For the sake of survival, the general nomadic tribe almost only rejects young people, women and children, and units like the elderly, which have no productivity and only consume. The court not only allowed the elderly to live here, but also designated a special living area for the elderly, and they also had three free meals a day......... For the elderly, this is already considered very good care.

"Thank you, old man......... Call......... There is nothing to repay, so I have to see if there is a chance in the next life......... I have repaid the court's kindness........."

While closing his eyes, the old man muttered a prayer——— and at this time, I saw that the old man suddenly felt a cool feeling emerging from his body, just in the blink of an eye, he felt that his limbs seemed to be soaked in a clear spring, full of comfortable and cool feelings, and even the original lake and lake painted head were awakened at this moment.

"Hoo ........."

Opening his eyes, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then he turned and walked out of the clinic............... However, at this moment, the old man seemed to have noticed something, and he instinctively reached out and touched his chest, and then, his eyes widened in surprise.

The next moment, the old man turned around and rushed directly into the clinic.

"Doctor! Doctor!!! ”

"Wow, what's wrong? Uncle Hank? ”

The doctor, who was treating a patient, was also startled when he saw the old man rushing into the office, while the latter was flushed with excitement and danced with his hands.

"I'm all right!"

"What? What's good? ”

"My illness! My illness is cured!! Look, I'm all right!! ”

At this time, the old man was excited and at a loss, and the doctors and nurses also looked at each other, they found that the old man's performance at this time was indeed different from the past, on weekdays, the old man was tired to death even if he took a breath, and he was weak to speak, but now, he was so energetic.........

"What's going on?"

At this time, the doctor was also stunned, and he couldn't figure out how good the old man was.

"That's what you said, doctor, let me worship the icon outside, and then I'll worship after I'm done......... That's it! ”

“…………… Huh?! ”

Hearing the old man's answer, the doctor was completely stunned.
