Soul echo

Chapter 330 The source of the plague
There is indeed a hidden compartment in the base of the statue of the church.

The mechanism to open the hidden compartment is the four corners of the base - a single corner cannot be rotated, but if you touch two corners at the same time, you will find that these corners can be rotated.

When the four corners are turned [-] degrees, the hidden compartment of the base will pop up.

A pitch-black scepter lay quietly in the dark compartment, and Zhong Ye reached out to take it out.

The moment his fingers touched the body of the staff, the method of using this holy object emerged in his mind.

This scepter really can't cure the disease, because it can only distribute and control the virus, it can't even completely eliminate the virus, at most it can inhibit the virus' self-replication.

If he guessed correctly, this scepter should have been produced hundreds of years ago, before the abyss invaded this world, and it probably wasn't a sacred object of the Medical Church.

Demons are very resistant to viruses, and ordinary viruses cannot infect them at all, and after infecting them, the more toxic viruses will be transmitted back to the humans who fight them through their bodies. One side does more damage.

The reason why the God of Plague fell was more or less affected by these factors.

Zhong Ye took the scepter to the office on the second floor, and lightly tapped the bishop's shoulder with the head of the scepter.

According to the instructions in the scepter, this can temporarily inhibit the self-replication of the virus.

The blessing of the God of Healing still exists in the Bishop's body, as long as the proliferation of the virus can be suppressed, he will be able to recover.

Zhong Ye and the others waited silently. After 2 minutes, the bishop opened his eyes, covered his head and sat up.

It's just that his eyes were blurred, and he could see three people standing opposite him, but he couldn't tell who they were.

"...Who are you?" After deliberating for a moment, the bishop asked slowly.

"I'm Zhong Ye."

"Oh, it's His Excellency Zhong Ye..." The bishop took a deep breath, blinked his eyes, and his vision gradually became clear.

At this time, he was finally able to clearly see the appearance and figure of the two men and women opposite him.

"To make a long story short, what happened in Auxerre?" Zhong Ye urged, frowning.

"We may have been hit by the abyss..." The bishop only said a few words before his breathing became short of breath.

Zhong Ye and the others could see that the bishop's face turned red instantly, but after taking two deep breaths, he clenched his teeth again and continued to talk: "The location is probably on the east side of the city, maybe outside the city, or inside the city, until now , there is another thing that is emitting a plague!"

Zhong Ye nodded, but did not move, and continued to ask: "Why did you know someone would come?"

"Because the church members in Bourges and I have informed..." the bishop panted heavily, and suddenly felt his hands and feet go weak, "They said that there may be a stronghold of a vampire clan around Auxerre, so I should be more prepared in the near future... And , They told me that you, the demon hunters, and a named battle group may come to Auxerre in the near future, let me prepare the information..."

Having said that, the bishop stopped, raised his hand with difficulty, and pointed to the door.

"Bring the 'Wand of Plague', it may be able to help you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the bishop fell down on the table with a bang, and passed out again.

Seeing that the bishop was unconscious again, Zhong Ye straightened his lips and turned to look at Lily, "You..."

"I want to go with you!"

Lily Lieber interrupted Zhong Ye's words, and said forcefully: "Don't worry! I will never become your burden, whether it is fighting or investigation, I can help!"

"Teacher, I want to be with you too!" Lilian echoed.

Zhong Ye sized them up again. Because it was winter, they were all dressed thickly. Although they couldn't effectively block the virus from invading their bodies, they could temporarily block it out. With a mask on, perhaps symptoms wouldn't appear so quickly...

"If you feel that your body has symptoms, you must return to the city." Looking at them, Zhong Ye solemnly said, "Because you also know that if you are in danger, I will never leave you alone!"

It would have been better if I hadn't said this at a time like this...

Lily felt a little wavering in her heart, but she immediately suppressed it.

——Now is not the time to think about such things!
Zhong Ye turned and left the office. When he was walking down the stairs, he heard a third cough coming from the direction of the treatment room.

When they walked out of the church, they saw that the two draft horses had already knelt down on the ground. If they were not pulled by ropes, they would probably lie directly on the ground.

Can even animals get infected?
The expression on Lilian's face behind the mask changed slightly, because she knew that if the same virus could infect humans and animals at the same time, it would easily mutate terribly.

Zhong Ye walked towards the carriage, drew his knife and cut off the ropes on the two horses so that they could lie on the ground.

Although the ground is cold, they are also covered with animal skins. In comparison, keeping a kneeling position will make them more painful.

Seeing Zhong Ye, the two draft horses let out a deep cry, as if they were begging.

Without saying anything, Zhong Ye turned around and walked towards the carriage, and took out Lily and Lilian's equipment.

Then they put the equipment on while walking.

I don't know if there will be a battle next, but before that, it's always good to be prepared.

Zhong Ye took out the compass and led Lily and the others to the east of the city.

The area of ​​Auxerre is not big, they only took a few minutes to look around the east of the city, but they didn't find the 'thing' mentioned in the bishop's words.

Since it is not in the city, then it is outside the city!

There was no city gate in the east of the city, so Zhong Ye picked up Lilian and the others, planning to jump directly over the city wall.

However, as soon as they jumped onto the city wall, they saw a yellow-green sphere lying quietly in a pit.

"What is that..." Lilian couldn't help muttering.

demon?Abyssal weapons?

Many thoughts flashed through Zhong Ye's mind, and he jumped down from the top of the wall without making a sound.

"You two stand here first, don't move."

After instructing the two of them, Zhong Ye drew the long knife from his back, held it in his hand, and slowly approached the pit where the yellow-green object was.

Standing behind, Lily and Lilian also nervously picked up their weapons and pulled out the holy oil from their pockets.

Even if it is a great demon, the holy oil can cause damage to it, as long as that thing comes from the abyss, it will be affected by the holy oil.

Zhong Ye did not use psychic energy rashly, because psychic energy comes from the soul, if there is any pollution on that thing, if he uses psychic energy to detect it, his soul will only be infected.

Compared with his strong body, his soul is much weaker.

Walking to the pit, staring at the irregular yellow-green sphere at the bottom of the pit, Zhong Ye took out a glass bottle from his arms, which was filled with holy oil.

He took two steps back, flicked the cork off, and threw it toward the pit.

After completing this series of actions, Zhong Ye retreated violently, and quickly distanced himself from the pit.

The holy oil was poured onto the yellow-green irregular sphere, and at the first moment of contact, thick smoke floated upwards.

The howling wind suddenly stagnated, and then suddenly spun around the pit.

Intense light rose from the bottom of the pit, and the originally extremely stable yellow-green irregular sphere suddenly proliferated and expanded outward!

In just a few seconds, the sphere swelled into a humanoid body, but this body was ten meters high.

A huge shadow was cast on the ground, just covering Zhong Ye and the others.

Under the horrified gaze of Zhong Ye and the others, the 'human figure' opened its eyes.

"……I know you."

Zhong Ye's pupils suddenly dilated, and his heart tightened suddenly.

The monster derived from that object actually has self-awareness.

In other words, this thing is actually a demon?
It can infect a town in a short time, and even block the connection between the God of Medicine and his clergy...

Is it 'big devil'?
