Chapter 543: Scientific Research
A foul smell permeated the area miles ahead, originating in a large black, foul pond with dense factories and houses on the shore, but the buildings were dilapidated and desolate, like the ruins of the apocalypse.
The ninth sister who was lying on Ji Aojian's back to make up for sleep was woken up by the smoke, rubbed her eyes, and looked around by the moonlight, "What kind of place is this?"
"It's probably a highly polluted industrial area. Ji Aojian replied, "Originally, this was supposed to be a small lake on a tributary of the Thames, but the water source was completely destroyed by sewage and waste, and the people who should have been relocated have already left, and even this foul lake has been blocked from the entrance and exit, becoming a complete dead lake." ”
"Wow, heavy industry is an environmental killer. Ji Lingxing exclaimed and looked again, "Why did you chase here, that werewolf?"
"It fled into a special building in front of it. ”
Ji Aojian stretched out his hand and pointed to a church with arches and stained windows, which seemed to be the most beautiful building here, and the most well-preserved.
Since the area is devoid of residents, the church has lost its original function and is supposed to be an empty ruin. However, at this moment, the window was shining with the light of a candle flame.
Ji Lingxing pondered and said, "Aren't werewolves one of the most evil monsters that the Holy See says, how could they escape here, could it be that this church has been polluted by dark forces?"
Ji Aojian was stunned for a moment, "Ninth sister, what kind of dark power are you talking about?"
"Of course it's these industrial pollutants. ”
"You can rest assured that the church is not polluted. ”
Ji Lingxing said strangely, "How do you know?"
"Ninth sister. First of all, does the church represent sacred?" Ji Aojian asked calmly.
"No, it doesn't mean. Ji Lingxing replied without hesitation.
The ninth sister is not a Christian in the first place. Second, the revolutionary movement is atheist, and third, the image of the Holy See has been hacked for hundreds of years since the Renaissance. Therefore, in her eyes, the words church and sacred are naturally inseparable.
"If the church is not sacred, how can it be polluted by darkness?"
"Oh. Ji Lingxing nodded and said, "But it's always a little strange for a werewolf to burrow into the chapel, right?"
"Not surprising. Ji Aojian said, "This is one of the most likely nests of werewolves. ”
"Why?"
"Ninth sister, how did the werewolf disappear from people's sight and almost become extinct?"
"It was in the Middle Ages, and the Holy See called for the organization to exterminate them. ”
"yes. After hundreds of years of recuperation, Europe entered the second millennium A.D. with good geopolitical strength, and the Catholic Church wanted to take the opportunity to expand the influence of the church and make Europa a true religious country. As a result, the Holy See has repeatedly launched crusades externally, hoping to make achievements and strengthen its prestige, and internally actively exterminating vampires, werewolves, infidels, wizards and other dark forces to eradicate dissidents. ”
Ji Lingxing said curiously, "There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. It is nothing more than to label the nobles as vampires, the commoners as werewolves, the minorities as infidels, and the wanderers as wizards. You can eradicate whoever you want. Ji Aojian coughed and continued. "Of course, real vampires and strange creatures like werewolves. Maybe it should be almost wiped out by the way, but in the process. It's not a strange thing to secretly keep and nurture some of the dark forces. ”
"Oh. Ji Lingxing suddenly realized, "You mean, that werewolf is the knife in the hands of the Holy See?"
"I'm just saying it's a possibility. "Maybe this werewolf is the remnant left in the wild, and it's not surprising that he accidentally encountered an abandoned church as his own shelter." ”
Ji Lingxing nodded, "Well, what the hell is going on, let's dive in and see." ”
In the atrium of the church, a bright candlestick hung from the dome, and the werewolf was tightly tied to the long table directly below, and three men in white coats surrounded it, holding sharp knives and pliers, nervously busy.
"Compared to the legend, this werewolf seems to have degraded very badly. Ji Aojian said, "They should have extremely strong healing abilities, and the injury on the chest shouldn't make it bleed too much, and there should be no need to rush to surgery." ”
"yes, in order to operate on it, I actually had to tie it up. Ji Lingxing also commented, "They don't have anesthetic means, it's really backward." ”
The three men suddenly stopped what they were doing, and at the same time faced the direction of the comer, and asked, "Who are you and how did you get in?"
"Since you have asked in good faith, I will tell you with great mercy. Ji Aojian smiled slightly, "The two of us are monster hunters who crisscross the European continent, cross mountains and deep lakes, with the purpose of maintaining world peace, destroying all evil under the sun, and hiding their merits and fame!"
"Yes, yes, we're monster hunters. Ji Lingxing nodded happily, and then said with some puzzlement, "It doesn't look like you are a priest?"
"Of course the uncle is not a priest, but a scientist!" One of them had disheveled hair and a scruffy beard, and indeed had the image of a scientific researcher who could not take care of himself, and said viciously, "What kind of hunter did you say you were just now, did you hurt our companion?"
"That evil monster is actually your companion?" Ji Lingxing said in surprise, "What kind of scientist are you?"
"Monsters can also be the object of scientific research. "Ji Aojian is serious, "After controlling the monster, you can use the power of the monster to take revenge on society and conquer the world." Isn't that the standard practice for ambitious scientists?"
"That's right, do you know what a stupid thing you did?" the "scientist" on the other side exclaimed excitedly, "This may be the last werewolf on Earth, and you almost killed it, it's a crime against all mankind!"
"Oh-" Ji Aojian dragged out his voice and said with a smile, "Since this is the last werewolf, you don't lock it up properly, but let it go outside to hurt innocent people, do you know how much of a crime you have committed?"
"Those superficial people are worthless, and it doesn't matter how many people die. ”
"How can you say such a thing without shame?" Ji Lingxing said indignantly, "You are really a group of anti-human madmen!"
"That's what Sister Jiu said. Ji Aojian threw the mop to the ground, but the strip of cloth at the top had been torn off, and it was just a steel rod. "How many bad things have you done, report them all and listen to them, and I should consider whether to destroy you humanely?"
"Hahahaha!" the three of them let out a very exaggerated laugh together, "Don't think that you think that you are amazing just because you deal with a werewolf, our real research results will make you feel desperate immediately!"
Ji Aojian said disapprerovingly, "What other research results do you have?"
With his words, the candlelight suddenly went out. Immediately, one swarthy shadow after another walked in.
Ji Lingxing said with some consternation, "Xiaojian, I can't feel the breath of these guys, it doesn't seem to be a living person?"
"yes. Ji Aojian's voice didn't change much, "Maybe it's a necromancy." (To be continued......)
