Chapter 511 The First Patient Lugano, who was listening in, looked at Lumian in confusion, not understanding why he was chatting leisurely with Pierre after just saying he was going to leave. Wait a little longer, the official Extraordinary is coming! Moreover, the more he knew, the more intense the investigation would be. It might even stimulate the source of his madness and cause it to attack him and others right now! After thinking for more than ten seconds, Pierre said uncertainly: "The initial patient seemed to be a guest who rented a room in our bar..." “Outsider?” Lumian asked calmly. Having already informed the official Beyonder about the madness through Franka and having decided to find an opportunity to "teleport" away, he was no longer as anxious as before. He wanted to learn more about the madness before leaving and find reasonable explanations for those contradictions. This behavior of collecting intelligence, analyzing problems, and finding clues and answers is one of the ways to play the role of a "conspirator". Lumian had nothing to do anyway, so he took this opportunity to digest some magic potion. As for the possible pollution caused by this incident, Lumian was not so worried: Can the information about madness be compared with the sealed information of "0-01"? What’s more, as long as you don’t go crazy on the spot, you can always ask your boss if there is any way to solve the problem afterwards! Pierre thought for a few seconds in confusion and said: "It should be... I don't remember her name, nor do I know where she came from. I only know that she suddenly went crazy and ran from the hotel upstairs to the bar, trying to bite people and barking like a dog." The infected outsiders spread the madness to Dadel Town? Then why did the townspeople not think of escaping from here? Is this also a manifestation of madness? Lumian asked thoughtfully:

"Did she bite anyone? What happened to her?" "We caught it before it had a chance to bite anyone and sent it to the Department of Health," Pierre recalled. Sent to the Department of Health? Lumian nodded slowly: "The next one to go crazy is someone from the Department of Health?" "Yes, yes!" Pierre was very sure this time. Lumian thought for a moment and then asked: "What does the guest look like?" "A young woman, her face was a little pale, she looked listless, and there was no light in her eyes. I, I don't remember what she looked like..." Pierre couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his head. Hearing this, Lumian suddenly had an idea: If the source of all the abnormalities in Dadel Town is a real madman, then many contradictions can be explained! The original source itself is mad, and will instinctively spread its madness of a supernatural level to the surroundings, so it does not consider whether it is an enclosed village or a prosperous town serving as a transportation hub. At the same time, driven by her subconscious, "she" would use this ability to spread extraordinary madness to hint to the townspeople that they cannot leave and control all channels that might spread the matter. However, because she herself was in a state of madness, she did not consider it carefully enough and did not order the townspeople not to tell the steam train passengers about the madness. Of course, it might not be due to lack of consideration. Lumian felt that it was more likely that the madman's instinct would be to involve more people and infect them with madness. Hence the contradictory phenomenon that on the one hand, those who knew about the matter were not allowed to leave or seek official help, but on the other hand, the townspeople were not prohibited from discussing madness with passers-by. This is a limited and relatively safe way of transmission. Passengers who know about the madness are close to the source of the plague. For example, Lugano's fortune has changed, increasing the possibility of contracting madness. He and Lumian had forgotten the option of escape. The more they communicated, the more they got stuck in a dead end, and they were determined to enter the town of Dadel to investigate. This is a precursor to contracting madness and a sign of being given a suggestion without being aware of it. With this in mind, Lumian suspected that the young woman might be a survivor of the previously wiped-out village, a potential infected person who had escaped the official cleanup operation. She combined this memory with her madness and spread it around, so the townspeople of Dadel knew that there was a village where a similar plague had occurred and had been completely purged by the authorities. Normally, they are not qualified to know about such things, nor do they have the channels to find out! With a preliminary guess, Lumian looked at Pierre and the bartender and asked with a smile: "Where is the village you mentioned that was destroyed by the authorities because of the madness infection?" "It seems, it seems to be somewhere in Upper Honachis Province..." Pierre recalled the rumors he heard. Upper Hornachs Province... It's a bit far from Upper Maritime Province, and there's no direct steam train. You have to go to several provinces on the west coast of the Sea or Trier... How did you, who have hardly left Dadel Town, hear about that rumor? Did a bard or passenger from Upper Hornachs Province pass by this transportation hub? The more Lumian thought about it, the more he was inclined to his previous speculation. He asked no more questions and said to Pierre tentatively: “This madness is worth studying. We will enter Dudder to investigate the source and try to cure you.

“But it takes a while to prepare, and besides, it’s night time now. "When daybreak comes, we will enter Dudder and will not leave until the problem is solved." Lumian repeatedly emphasized the two points of "will enter Dadel" and "will not leave for the time being" to test the reactions of Pierre and the bartender. The expressions of both of them changed several times, and they were not as hysterical as before. After a few seconds, Pierre said pleadingly: "You must come to town tomorrow!" “No problem.” Lumian smiled back. He was now even more certain that this was an instinctive infection and influence, and that there was no mechanism to cope with the changes. As long as he did not touch the key points, or even actively provided information of cooperation, he could effectively conceal the source of the madness. Seeing Pierre and the bartender about to walk to other windows of the steam train, Lumian called out to them: "Wait a moment." The two turned their heads in surprise, and Lumian pointed to the table between the two sofas: "You can take the dishes away now." Pierre and the bartender looked at the table in confusion and saw a pile of empty plates with only bones and other debris left. Are you done eating already? The delivery guy hasn't left yet! Although Pierre and the bartender knew that they had stayed here for a longer time because of the madness, they still felt that this was unrealistic. Isn't this too fast to eat? Are these three lions? Burp... The little boy Ludwig picked up the tablecloth and wiped his mouth with a very satisfied expression. After the two townspeople put away their tableware, picked up their lunch boxes, and left the platform, Lumian smiled at Lugano who was standing there: "Take another look. There's no need to be so anxious." I'm in a hurry. How can I escape when the official Beyonders come? Lugano's soul is like being burned by fire. Lumian observed his reaction and muttered silently: He really behaved like a wild Beyonder with a low sequence and little knowledge... He didn't show any specialness like Ludwig... Is he really an ordinary wild Beyonder who just accepted a mission to follow me? At the same time, Lumian focused his attention and looked at Lugano's fortune again, and found that the traces of the miserable green had disappeared, and there was no bloody disaster. This means that the "doctor" is no longer likely to be infected with madness, and will not be involved in the official actions to deal with the anomalies in Dadel Town. After a while, Lumian heard a loud noise and saw that the night outside suddenly became brighter. There was a light shining down from mid-air. Lumian raised his eyes and saw two huge creatures floating in the darkness. They were two airships painted in dark gray, their propeller blades spinning madly. This was much smaller than the one Lumian had seen in Trier, and the concentrated light shone from the lower front of them, concentrating on the edge of the town of Dadel. At the same time, a large number of dog barking sounds were heard again in the town, and there seemed to be movement everywhere.

The officials from the Forth region are here? Lumian looked away, waiting for the result. Shouts, screams, gunshots and various lights represented by sunlight appeared occasionally and lasted for nearly an hour before they completely subsided. Not long after, a team of police entered the box and asked Lumian and others, who had changed their appearance and had fake identification cards, about the details of their contacts with the residents of Dadel Town. Lumian didn't mention anything about madness, but told him everything else truthfully. He was always ready to "teleport" Ludwig and Lugano away. After recording and comparing the tickets and identification documents, the police left the carriage. Lumian waited patiently until dawn, when the police returned and presented three contracts for them to sign. The content of the contract is that the movement last night came from a special military operation, and no one is obliged to keep it confidential and not leak it. Does it count if I leaked it before signing it? Lumian laughed to himself and wrote down his pseudonym calmly. He had just activated this fake identity and it had no connection with the occult yet. When the police walked out of the carriage, Lumian, who had deliberately experienced the official process firsthand, planned to grab Lugano and Ludwig's shoulders and "teleport" away. He was not sure whether the contract signed under a fake name would be discovered, so he had to avoid the corresponding risks. Just then, Lumian saw a tall figure emerge from behind Lugano. That was his messenger, the "Confessor" Bayinfer, who looked like a charred corpse with some black flames burning on his body and wearing a dark clergy robe. Bayinfer let a folded letter float toward Lumian. Lugano was surprised to find a piece of paper coming out. He looked behind him subconsciously. Lumian opened the letter and scanned the contents: “Based on the feedback I received, this should be an incident of a sealed object escaping. "The sealed object takes the form of a young woman. She first appeared in a disaster in Upper Hornachis Province. She is in a normal state most of the time, but appears to be spiritless, pale, and confused. But once she enters a state of madness, she will gradually infect people around her with the same madness as her. There is no definite pattern of transmission. “Her state is not always the same each time she goes crazy, and the same is true of the manifestations of her madness. "In her normal state, she is like a ghost without wisdom, acting on instinct, but she has the power of words, and whoever she wants to die will die..." (End of this chapter)
