Soul echo

Chapter 383 Backtracking
"You said that the whole city is full of living corpses... What's going on?"

After hearing the shocking news from Zhong Ye, the apprentice ran to look for the person in charge of the church, and the believers sitting in the chapel also felt bad and left the church in a hurry.

If nothing else, the whole of Kreuzlingen will know about it before long.

But Zhong Ye didn't want to hide it at all. Let's not say that the Goddess of Family may have informed the God of Medicine about this matter long ago. The number of people is not much lower than that of Constantia. Even if these things are exposed and cause people to panic, it will not have any impact on the situation.

——The plague has already spread!
The person in charge of the church was a pastor. Hearing the news from the apprentice, he hurried to the chapel and asked anxiously.

"Literally." Lily, who was leaning against the wall with an ax in her arms, sighed, "Most of the plague-infected people in Constantia have turned into living corpses—that's right, it's the plague they reported to you before."

"How could it be..." The pastor's face was ugly, "Didn't Madam Stern protect them?"

"Do not."

Zhong Ye shook his head, "Before they discovered the plague, the plague had already spread in the city, and the source of transmission was rats. The rats infected with this plague polluted the water source of Constantia, causing the entire city to be covered by the plague. Infect."

Hearing this, the pastor's expression changed again.

The distance between Kreuzlingen and Constantia is so close, not to mention taking a boat, even if it takes only a few minutes on foot, under this premise, if the entire city of Constantia has been infected with the plague long ago, the city of Constantia will be closed. Before entering the city, did plague carriers come here?

Moreover, the man also said that it was 'rats infected with the plague' that polluted the water source of Constantia, which also meant that this plague could spread through the water.

Most of the domestic water in the two towns is taken from Lake Constance. Has the plague spread to Kreuzlingen long ago?

Thinking of this, the pastor only felt his scalp go numb and it was difficult to breathe.

"……and many more!"

Zhong Ye suddenly frowned.

When he sorted out this matter, he noticed something was wrong.

Someone in the farm outside the city showed symptoms and was taken in by the Church of Constantia, and then the Church of Constantia fell.

——They have been to that church, and the death conditions of the dead in the church show that the house church in Constantia hastily abandoned the church.

However, the living corpses wandering aimlessly on the streets also showed that the plague broke out after that.

If the plague in Constantia spread because the water source was infected, what about the farm outside the city?Why do they show symptoms first?

Living corpses don't open doors, and if they could, they would have already opened the church door and the backyard warehouse door.

That being the case, such a large number of living corpses wandering the streets shows that they were still living a normal life before the plague broke out.

Constantia only managed to close the city gate and cut off the communication with the outside world, but did not ban the normal activities of the residents in the city.

Even though it was the eve of the outbreak of the plague, people were still living normally without symptoms. Judging from the number of patients admitted to the church at that time, only a small number of patients would develop symptoms after being infected with the plague.

So, why do several people have adverse reactions at the same time in a farm?Are there any similarities between them?Farmers and peasants living in a farm with a population of dozens of people, are there more similarities between them than a dozen or so symptomatic patients in a city where thousands or even tens of thousands of people live?
unreasonable!No matter how you think about it, it is unreasonable!
Zhong Ye frowned, clenched his teeth, and tried his best to run his brain——

After listening to his narration, the pastor of Kreuzlingen's face changed several times. Obviously, the pastor may have thought of many things.

For example, if the two towns are so close, could the plague have already spread over or something like that?

Why can't the people on those ships think of things that the pastor can think of?
Why did those ships stay beside Constantia?
Even if he came over and yelled to Kreuzlingen from a distance, wouldn't he be able to ask for help earlier and make the people in this town beware?
Why didn't they do these things?

These questions filled Zhong Ye's brain and occupied all his thinking threads.

Seeing the changes in Zhong Ye's face, Lily and Lilian glanced at each other, sure that Zhong Ye had thought of something.

Instigated by the barrage, Lilian asked in a low voice: "Teacher, teacher, what did you think of?"

"……call."

Zhong Ye exhaled suddenly, stretched his frowning brows, and looked at the startled priest standing across from him.

"Sorry, I thought of something, now please go and tell the clergy in other towns about this through the internal communication line of the church, and tell them that this plague is man-made, in fact, the plague has already spread , Ask them to check the people in the town, if nothing else, there is a high probability that the virus can be detected from their bodies."

After speaking, Zhong Ye waved to the pastor, turned and left.

Lily and Lilian didn't say a word, they kept up with each other tacitly.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, where are you going?" the priest called after them.

Zhong Ye didn't look back, and said firmly: "Go to Constantia, and solve the mastermind behind this plague!"

Hearing this, Lily subconsciously held her breath, walked quickly to Zhong Ye, and asked, "Zhong, what's going on? The man behind the scenes is still staying in Constantia? How did you know for sure?"

Lilian and the audience also wanted to know the answer to this question, so they quietly walked to Zhong Ye's side and looked at him eagerly.

While walking, Zhong Ye explained his derivation process.

After finishing his question, he raised his head and looked to the northwest.

"You say, why are these?"

Both Lily and Lilian turned their heads, and in the end, the wisdom of the crowd prevailed.

"Because the mastermind behind the scenes wants to stay in Constantia?" Lilian asked back.

"correct!"

Zhong Ye snorted coldly: "If nothing unexpected, Constantia is conducting a ceremony, and the designer and host of this ceremony is the person I want to find!"

"Then why did he infect the farmers on that farm in advance? Wouldn't this expose the plague?" Lily asked with a frown.

"Because he just wanted to announce the plague to let the church personnel in Constantia know!"

Zhong Ye and the others walked to the pier. He waved his purse and bought a boat with two gold coins. The three of them boarded the boat and set sail.

"If the church in Constantia is not removed first, the uncertain factors of this ceremony will be too great. It may be destroyed by priests or even gods in the middle of the ceremony."

The spirit can push the heavy boat, allowing them to quickly move away from the lake, go down the river, and sail towards the center of the lake.

"That guy may have been among the villagers who were taken into the church for isolation, and he may have evacuated the church with the priests, and he is now on those ships!"

Zhong Ye's speculation made Lily and Lily'an feel horrified, but just thinking about it for a while made it feel extremely scary.

A ceremony with people from a city...no, not necessarily just a city!
Lily also thought of the distance between Kreuzlingen and Constantia. If the plague broke out in Constantia, it is impossible that there would be no plague in Kreuzlingen. The reason why the plague did not break out was because the man behind the scene did not detonate it. plague.

If it counts as Kreuzlingen, it's two towns!
Hateful, terrible, hateful, hateful... Using all the derogatory terms she could think of, I'm afraid it would be impossible to describe that guy's half evil.

Although these things were just Zhong Ye's guesses, without more than 80.00% certainty, it was impossible for Zhong Ye to take action, and made it clear that he would eradicate the black hand behind the scenes.

So this matter is very likely to be true...
