348. Leave, can't leave
Lane had seen the scene of Henrik being rescued from a blood collection bottle.
Therefore, he can understand Viola's description of "blood therapy".
- It's like injecting fresh life into a ruined human body!
Directly replenished and enhanced at the level of vitality. This sense of pleasure, satisfaction, and peace of mind should be more 'refreshing' than any addictive drug in the world.
And ordinary people still have the possibility of getting rid of it, but those outsiders who came to Yanan for the purpose of 'fighting terminal illness and prolonging life'.
Even in order for their bodies to withstand the progression and erosion of the disease, they must constantly undergo [blood therapy].
Then it would be even more impossible to leave Yanan.
[Blood therapy] is a specialty of Yanan.
Only in Yanan can people receive that holy blood.
This city, and the people who live in this city. Are they too closely connected to Blood?
Rann chewed bread in his mouth, his mind thinking.
"Gascoigne."
"Huh?"
The priest, who had just removed a chicken leg from the plate in the center of the table and placed it on his wife's plate, turned his head in the direction of the guest while dealing with the displeasure of his two daughters.
Lan En pursed his lips and said thoughtfully.
"Yanan is indeed very peculiar, I have never seen such a city, [blood therapy], [bestiality] or something. But these two strange things are in the same city at the same time, will I mean is it possible?"
"The transmission of bestiality depends on blood? Or at least, is there a correlation between the two? ”
[Blood] seems to have a certain degree of sacredness and religion in Yanan, associating the filthy bestiality with blood, and Lan's assumption is a bit risky in this city with a strong religious atmosphere.
But fortunately, Gascoigne was a foreigner, and even before he came to Yanan, he was a priest.
Viola wasn't a local who was prejudiced against outsiders, or she wouldn't have married Gascoigne.
So Lan En's assumption didn't cause much of a stir at the dinner table, it just made the couple smile.
"In the early days of bestiality, there was a real suspicion of this."
Viola explained in a rather nonchalant manner.
"But the feeling that [blood therapy] brings to people is something that everyone has experienced, and there is no doubt about the sacredness of blood. Moreover, he has mastered the knowledge of [Blood Healing], and no one has ever had a bestiality disease in the healing church, which is the birthplace of [Blood Healing]. This is enough to prove that [Blood Healing] has nothing to do with [Beastification]. ”
"If you want to talk about the connection, there is only one: [Blood Healing] that is timely and powerful enough to cure [Beastification]."
Lan En nodded silently, as if accepting the statement.
But in his heart, he only confirmed one thing more: the influence of the healing church in Anan is deep-rooted.
——
After a hearty breakfast, Viola made the bed for Lan in her room.
A clean and tidy spare bed doesn't smell musty, but instead has a reassuring soapy smell after washing.
Viola's meticulousness and diligence in housework made Rann sigh a little.
Mentos knew too well what his subject was thinking.
It immediately projects a picture on the retina.
In the face of housework, Margarita will most likely throw money directly to buy a new set.
Want to see a picture of hard work and virtuousness?
I guess Mentos can synthesize it for you.
The corner of Lan's eye twitched, and then he pressed Mentos down.
Following Henrik's suggestion, Gascoigne prepared to go outside to buy incense for animal repellent.
It is a spice produced by Yanan to cope with the bestialized patients, which can mask the smell of humans and make the animalized patients feel nauseous, so that they can stay away from the house.
On the night of last night's hunt, most of the residents who were dragged out by the bestialized patients broke through the doors and dragged out to kill were people who didn't have enough incense.
This thing is not cheap, it belongs to the monopoly of the healing church.
This thing is not cheap, it belongs to the monopoly of the healing church.
But fortunately, the hunter belongs to the high-income group in Yanan, and Gascoigne's family does not have much trouble to afford.
"Please help me look after my home, Lanne. Just like we said we would. ”
At the door, the priest, who had put on his washed coat again, spoke to Lan En in the door.
"I've known Henrik for a long time, but I've never seen him panic like last night. He was a very good hunter, and even because he was so good at dealing with wild beasts, many of us thought that he couldn't get a hunter's death. But last night he made a mistake."
Rann wore Gascoigne's old shirt and stood against the doorframe with his chest crossed.
The priest's words silenced him slightly.
Because if he thought about it, he couldn't imagine that if Viselmir had put on the state of Henrik last night, it would have been something terrible that he had noticed.
"Don't worry, go shopping, I'll be here to watch."
Lan En first agreed categorically.
"But when you come back, I may leave Yanan."
"Oh?" Gascoigne asked strangely, "You're not cured?" Even if the factor of [blood therapy] is excluded, Yanan's medical level is also among the best in the world. ”
"No, these cat's eyes are actually just awkward, and they don't make me uncomfortable. Compared to improving the appearance, I still have a lot of interest in Yanan. Even more uneasy. ”
Gascoigne was silent for a moment, then chuckled.
"Ah, it's not bad to leave when you don't have a deep contact with Yanan. It could even be said to be a wise decision. You're luckier than most of the outsiders who come here, and you at least have a choice. ”
"The incidence of bestiality is rising, the average population does not know about it, but the hunters can feel it. The situation is changing. ”
"More and more bodies are dragged out after hunt nights, and hunt nights are held more and more frequently. The atmosphere in the city is becoming nervously tense. ”
When Gascoigne said this, he deliberately lowered his voice.
His low, hoarse voice was like a dream at this moment, and the transmission of sound was limited to him and Lane.
"Since you have sensed the change in the situation," Lan En also lowered his voice, "In my opinion, you should leave here with your family and leave far away." ”
Gascoigne was silent at first, then smiled silently, and raised his wide-brimmed hat to look into the room.
Lane still doesn't know how his bandaged eyes get so much visual information, but he does have the ability to observe.
In this small house, Viola is happily cleaning the furniture, and two little girls, one playing with toys and the other holding a book.
The sunlight shines through the window, and the dust floating in the pillar of light does not look dirty at this moment, but makes people feel strangely warm.
"I can't go."
Outside, Gascoigne said quietly, repeating.
"I can't go. Yanan people can't do without Yanan, and I can't do without Viola and the children. So I can't go, I can't go, I don't want to go. That's it. ”
"Understood." Lan En nodded calmly, "Then. Good luck, Gascoigne. ”
"I wish you a safe journey in advance, Lan. I won't be out for too long, I'll be back by noon, and hopefully it won't delay your trip by then. ”
"There's no delay, I'll help you take care of them before you come back."
Lan En said categorically.
"Well, thank you."
