Chapter 1817: Plague

Because the lucky man Leo wanted to see was currently being held in a cell of the public security station, the two followers following Leo did not have the authority to arrange a meeting for Leo, so they had to go to officials with higher authority.

"Isn't your Excellency a marine biologist?" The official in the Government House responsible for managing Leo's special prisoners looked at Leo in confusion and asked.

Faced with the official's doubts, Leo explained calmly: "It is true that I am a marine biologist, but in fact my true identity is a biologist, and my research subjects are all living things. The reason why I added the word ocean is because

Mainly because ocean research is a popular subject now, it is easy to find work, and the pay is very considerable."

After hearing the explanation, the official couldn't help but smile. He thought Leo was a very interesting scholar. He was very different from the scholars he had seen who were used to raising their heads.

"If you find anything, I hope you can tell me as soon as possible." The official didn't say anything more. He immediately issued a temporary consultant certificate, then found a subordinate and asked him to take Leo there.

The lucky man was interrogated in the cell of the police station.

Soon the group of people arrived at the security station. After checking the certificate, the people from the security station let Leo and the others enter the cell.

It is said that the cell is actually just a simple shed built with a row of wooden fences. It is very simple and the cell door is not locked, but the prisoners who are locked up are usually shackled or chained.

The people at the security station are not worried about people escaping here. In fact, they are also happy to see people escape, so that they can carry out abnormal hunting games. However, the objects of hunting are not wild beasts, but escaped prisoners. It is said that they have

A prisoner on death row tried to escape into the jungle to avoid his death sentence. As a result, he was found by hunters from the police station during a hunting game. They then lost his legs and brought him back to the square in Ma Tau Wan, where he was brutally beaten with various weapons.

The method tortured him for five days before killing him.

With this example, even death row prisoners are willing to wait here for the death penalty. After all, the execution is only a one-time execution, and it is better than dying of torture.

Although this incident later spread to the Kingdom of Lute, some people felt that it was too cruel, and the king also wrote to the governor here to express his dissatisfaction with the incident, but the governor of Ma Tou Bay did not care at all.

These negative views should be dealt with as they should. For him, as long as his rule in Ma Tau Wan is stable, everything else will be put aside.

Because of this, even though the so-called lucky man named Daman was destined to die, the cell where he was held was still not locked, and he was not even shackled or shackles, so he was not worried at all.

Escape.

Daman seemed to have accepted his fate. After seeing Leo and the others walking into the cell, Daman showed no expression and just stared blankly at the person coming.

The official of the Governor's Palace who was responsible for leading Leo in was about to introduce Leo's identity, but was interrupted by Leo. He motioned the man to take a few steps back, then walked up to Daman himself, squatted down and faced him.

He leaned against Daman who was sitting on the wooden fence of the cell, and said: "I am not a powerful official, and I have no way to let you out. I came here to see you just because I was curious about the rumored monster. You have twice

You have the experience of seeing monsters, and in both experiences you were about to die from monster attacks, but were spared by monsters, so you may have some characteristics that affect the monster's decision-making. If you can discover the secret inside,

Then your value will be different, which may help you survive. Of course, the premise is that you are willing to cooperate with me and tell me what you know."

Hearing Leo's words, Daman's lifeless face became more alive. He looked at Leo, seeming to be thinking about what Leo said. After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice: "What do you want?

What do you want to know?"

After hearing this, Leo smiled, turned around and asked the official of the Governor's Mansion to get a glass of water, and then handed the water to Daman. After Daman drank the entire glass of water, he said in a deep voice.

: "I want to know the entire process of encountering monsters twice. Tell me all the details you can remember, such as the appearance of the monster, the surrounding situation, the state of the patrol soldiers who were taken away by the monster, etc. Everything you saw

Tell me all the things that happened in the past."

Seemingly feeling that Leo was his only life-saving straw, Daman also recalled it very carefully, and then recounted his experience in great detail according to Leo's request. During the recounting process, Leo also interrupted

After a few times, I asked Daman some irrelevant questions, such as how Daman felt after encountering monsters, his emotional changes, etc.

On the side, the official of the Governor's Mansion also listened carefully. He also wanted to know what the characteristics that Leo said affected monsters were. However, he did not feel anything noteworthy from the beginning to the end. He was very interested in Lei.

When Ou Zhong interrupted Daman's narration, the questions he asked were unclear, so after listening to Daman's narration, he turned to look at Leo, as if waiting for Leo's answer.

However, Leo did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a while and then asked in a confirming manner: "You just mentioned that when you saw the monster for the first time, you felt itchy on your back, as if you were being beaten."

A lot of bugs stared at the same thing, so how did you feel after seeing the monster for the second time in the lumberyard?"

"No...it's not that I didn't feel it, it's that I didn't see any monsters in the lumberyard." Seeing that Leo had heard wrong, Daman immediately corrected him: "At that time, I felt something behind me. As soon as I turned my head, I felt dizzy inexplicably.

After that, when I woke up, I found that everyone in the lumber camp was gone. I ran back to report the situation and the patrol went to search. They told me that all the lumberjacks were missing."

Leo asked again: "How did you feel that there was something behind you?"

Daman explained: "It just feels hot on my back, as if someone is watching me from behind."

Leo showed a slightly thoughtful look, and then asked: "After you found that there was no one in the lumber camp, shouldn't you wait in the camp for a while and wait for other lumberjacks to come back before returning to Ma Tou Bay? Why did you do that?

When you found no one at the logging camp, you immediately ran back to Ma Tau Wan to report the news?"

"I..." Daman was stunned, and then said with a face of shame: "I'm scared, I, I feel the monster is staring at me nearby, I'm scared."

Leo asked again in a confirming manner: "It feels like the monster is staring at you. Is that feeling like the heat on your back?"

Daman shook his head, then looked embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to explain it. In the end, he could only say: "It's just a feeling, not a physical feeling, it's that kind of feeling, I don't know how to describe it."

Before Leo could react to Daman's answer, the official of the Governor's Mansion looked displeased on his forehead. He obviously felt that Daman was hiding something, so he said seriously: "You have to know that now you

The situation is very bad. This Leo scholar may be your only chance. If you still hide it at this time..."

"He didn't hide it, he told the truth." Before Daman was about to defend himself, Leo explained it to Daman, and then he ordered to Daman: "Take off your clothes and let me

Look at your back."

Hearing Leo's words, Daman was stunned, and without thinking much, he took off his clothes, then turned around, exposing his back.

"Ah!" The officials of the Governor's Mansion immediately screamed when they saw Daman's back, then staggered out of the cell as if taking refuge, and hid at a distance they thought was safe, before stopping and turning their heads.

Look at the movement in the cell.

Leo squatted down and motioned to Daman, who was frightened by the screams, not to move, and then took a serious look at the things on Daman's back.

I saw a chickenpox-like pustule on Daman's back. If it were just a pustule, it might make the official feel sick, but it would not make him so frightened. The real reason that made the official so gloomy was that the combination of these pustules

Together, a sudden eye-like shape was formed, and the eyes looked extremely fierce, as if they were ready to eat people at any time. What was even more frightening was that there seemed to be something moving in all the pustules, which made people look at them.

It will give you a chilly feeling.

"Is this a plague?" The official asked impatiently after calming down for a while.

It’s no wonder that officials are so nervous, because the most deadly thing in the New World is not the monsters or indigenous people in the jungle, but various plagues. Every time a plague breaks out, the death toll is based on villages, towns, and cities in a region.

Of all the causes of death in one area in the New World, the number of people who died from other causes was less than a fraction of the number of people who died from the plague.

"No." Leo shook his head, turned to look at the nervous official, and said, "This should be a curse, or a parasite. It is not contagious." As he said that, Chao still didn't believe it.

The official he spoke of suggested: "If you don't believe me, you can immediately go to the best doctor here to check the situation and report his condition. If you have already planned to execute him, it is best to

If you cancel it, it may be of great benefit to you in exploring the new continent."

After hearing Leo's suggestion, the officer immediately followed the instructions and ordered the two followers to stay outside the cell, and then hurriedly ran out. Not long after running out, some soldiers from the security station came with some wooden boards and the like.

He rushed over and quickly built a wooden wall around the cell, then stood guard outside, seemingly placing all the people in the cell under house arrest.

At this moment, there were other prisoners in the cell. When they saw the actions of the soldiers, they seemed to realize something and screamed in panic. However, they did not dare to run out of the cell because they knew very well that if they ran

After leaving the cell, there is only one way to die. The soldiers will not care about the reason why they ran out of the cell. They just know to kill the escaped prisoners.

The two attendants who were responsible for taking care of Leo were also confused by the movement in front of them. They all looked like they wanted to cry. Originally they thought they had just found an easy job, but they did not expect that they would encounter someone like him on the first day.

When it comes to things like this, if they really encounter a plague, then they will be finished.

As time passed, there was a loud noise outside, and then a gap was opened in the wooden wall. Then the whole body was wrapped in a fur coat, with a sealed crow skin hood on his head, and

Several doctors with several adventurous aromatherapy balls walked out of the gap, and then walked directly to Daman's cell. Without saying any nonsense, they signaled Leo to get out of the way, and then carefully examined the pustules on Daman's body.

I saw that the examination they performed was very simple. They used needles to prick several of the largest pustules on Daman's body, soaked a little of the pus that overflowed from the pustules, and put them into different medicine bottles.

At this time, they also discovered that after the pustule ruptured, in addition to the pus overflowing, there was also a small insect coming out of the pustule. Although they did not understand what was going on, they still picked it up with a needle and put it in

into an empty pill bottle.

After putting the pus into all the test medicine bottles, they shook the medicine bottles individually to let the pus fully integrate into the medicine inside. After completing all this, they carefully took out a book that looked like

It is a small book with a color card set, and the color blocks on it correspond to the colors of the liquid medicine in different bottles one by one.

Soon, the colors of all the medicines were compared, and several doctors breathed a sigh of relief. Although their voices were not loud, they were still heard by the people in the cell. Daman, who had been nervous since just now, also immediately

After relaxing for a while, I didn't know for a moment whether I should be happy that I didn't have the plague, or feel depressed that I had an unknown disease.

After confirming that it was not a plague, several doctors quickly left the cell and told the people outside through the wooden wall the results of their examinations. The people outside immediately relaxed after learning that it was not a plague.

At this time, someone ordered the doctors, and then they saw one of the doctors walking outside the cell holding a chain handed from the wooden wall, signaling Leo to come out, and then after Leo walked out of the cell, he locked Daman's

The cell is locked.

After that, the doctor led Leo and two followers to the wooden wall, motioned them to stand where they were, then sprayed them with a potion, and then swept them back and forth with some kind of smoke, and that was it.

After repeating this process for more than a dozen times, they were allowed to leave.

Although they left the cell area guarded by wooden walls and soldiers, Leo and his two followers were not allowed to leave the police station. Instead, they were taken to a large room like a conference room next to the police station. At this time

There are several people staying in the big house now.

The two followers who came in with Leo immediately knelt on the ground after seeing the people in the house, and towards the middle-aged man in the middle who was thin and plainly dressed, they said in unison: "Your Majesty the Governor."
