Levenholm, on the riverside of the city.

A group of gentlemen in light-colored coats are searching for the supposed 'death factor' here. They all wear sun badges, which are exactly the same as the Sunshine Hospital's signboard, except that the size is reduced.

The man in the lead is none other than the current president of Sunshine Hospital and the founder of Sunshine Secret Medicine, Dees Campbell.

His influence coefficient as a doctor can be ranked in the top ten among Zion physical doctors.

Dark skinned and bald,

Alien clothing structure (leather content 71%), white tapered robe, the surface is covered with wavy lines of golden sun patterns, and the back even derives an exaggerated sun disk (a specialization of the gentleman's skin),

It even looks a bit like the structure of his wings.

If you take off his coat, you will find that his black skin has been partially flared, and the skin texture with shining golden spots just draws a sun pattern on his back.

Wherever he goes, the fog from nearby streets is lifted.

The output of each bottle of Sun Secret Medicine will undergo his 'sun fermentation'.

Now, what happened in Lewenholm has completely paralyzed the hospital and the secret medicine system. Even the famous Dean Sun has been unable to find the root cause.

Yesterday, he even received a personal letter from Zion’s top management,

Zion's top management has made the decision that if the death toll in Lewinholm continues to grow and exceeds the rated value, it will be necessary to abandon the entire city, including the hospital he has worked so hard to operate to this day.

Therefore, he immediately took six reserve doctors from the hospital who had been carefully trained by him, and launched a pathogen search in every corner of the city in the name of [Sun Church], determined to find the pathogen before the organization issued an order for complete evacuation.

However,

The impatience in his heart gradually amplified as time went by. When Dis ordered to conduct separate searches relying on their own induction, self-idea and ability, [Irritability] evolved into [Gap].

Two hours later, the team regrouped.

A reserve doctor in the team who was valued by Dis did not return to the team. Even if he radiated the sun immediately, he still could not get any response.

Missing!

At this moment, even Dis felt a desire to retreat and a fear of the unknown, and the sun disk on his back dimmed a lot.

[Sunshine Hospital-General Ward]

The momentum of Yi Chen's four-person team was slightly sluggish.

Mr. Hervoye used the most conventional autopsy methods and found nothing. The three fresh corpses were all craniotomized, and all brain tissues that might have been invaded by pathogens were sectioned. The detection agent was dissolved and nothing was found.

Even Lotson, who was always optimistic and had squinting eyes, frowned slightly. He controlled the blood to flow to every corner of the corpse's brain, but found nothing.

Everything is normal and there is no illness at all. This is the only conclusion that can be drawn at the moment.

So what is causing such a large-scale and ever-increasing number of deaths?

Naturally, Yi Chen was not idle either.

He stared at the still fresh brain between the skull bones throughout the process, his vision wandering between the brain grooves, trying to find the problem.

During this process,

Unknowingly, a drop of saliva slipped down the corner of his mouth.

As a characteristic skill of [Student] - ≮Central Taste≯ is passively activated by these unpolluted and undisease-free brains of the dead.

Yi Chen quickly wiped it away with his palm.

At this time, Little Grape's voice came:

"That's right! Can't you kid get memory fragments directly by absorbing cerebral spinal fluid? If you eat all these corpses at once, you won't be able to figure out how to get a sound memory of death."

"Little Grape, have you ever thought that I might be infected with death and die like this?"

"It's okay~ If you die, I will pack you up immediately and send you back to the Seven Days Cemetery. With your current physical condition, you can ferment in the cemetery for a hundred days at most before you can crawl out again."

"Don't be ridiculous. Unless it's absolutely necessary, we won't consider ingesting cerebral spinal fluid for the time being. As a veteran autopsy examiner, Mr. Hervoy must have his own unique method. Let's take a look first."

"Cowardly!"

No matter what Little Putao said, Yi Chen would definitely not take this risk.

at this time,

Mr. Hervoye's breath changed, and his whole body exuded the smell of rotten wood mixed with corpses. He decided to use some methods that were not consistent with conventional autopsy.

His 'this method' has been reported among organizations, which is one of the reasons why he has been an autopsy examiner from beginning to end and has not been promoted.

Take off your coat,

Rubber-like gloves and rain boots are also removed.

The exposed hands and feet are full of tiny holes, which makes one’s scalp numb just by looking at them.

If you look closely, you will find that these holes are enlarged pores, and there seems to be something hidden inside.

"What I'm going to do next will go against a gentleman's character and personal ethics to a certain extent, but the original intention is to find out the source of death. If this method still doesn't work, I will voluntarily abandon this mission.

You guys step back a little."

At Helvoye's signal, Yi Chen and others as well as the clinic apprentices retreated to the door of the ward.

He leaned over and put his palms on the ground, and drops of thick liquid overflowed from the honeycomb-shaped pores, drawing strange formations on the ground.

Zizzi~ The light bulb in the hospital room started to flicker.

As he pulled up his hands, a handmade brown coffin rose from the ground.

Ga~

The upright coffin disintegrated on its own, and a 'corpse' with human proportions drawn on it stood in place.

Yi Chen was able to detect that the corpse summoned by the old gentleman was alive, with all its organs functioning normally, but its brain was empty.

His eyes were closed tightly, exuding a gloomy air, like a living dead.

Hervoy immediately opened the skull of the living dead,

Then, through perfect 'human brain grafting', the brain of a corpse that had been dead for less than half an hour was transferred to the skull of the living dead.

After Mr. Hervoye sutured his skull, considering the possibility of death spreading, he immediately left the ward to join the team.

Click! Close the door, leaving only a small hole to peek into the ward.

The living dead summoned by Helvoye will actively accept foreign organs, quickly connect the nerves and blood vessels, and begin to deliver the freshest blood to the brain.

Ha... take a deep breath

The confused eyes slowly became brighter,

He spread his arms and quickly looked at this new body, then twisted his head to observe the surrounding scene.

Suddenly, he ran towards the window violently,

Even though he was still fully adapted to his new body, he still ran at a speed that exceeded his instinct. A certain strong will stimulated the crazy secretion of adrenaline hormones.

Boom!

He broke through the glass window of the ward and fell vertically from the height of seven floors, perfectly touching the ground with his head.

Bang!

Everyone also went downstairs and outside the hall immediately.

The brain plasma and blood are spreading outward,

The corpse with a broken cervical vertebra and a dented head could barely be seen clearly. The man was filled with an extremely happy smile, as if his dream had come true, twice.

After seeing this scene, Hervoye made a preliminary guess.

"Instinct, just like humans are born with the ability to breathe, take the initiative to absorb oxygen in the air, and look for food when they are hungry.

As living beings, we also instinctively avoid death. We try to avoid the risk of death as much as possible in our daily lives. When encountering a death event that threatens our lives, our bodies will even secrete hormones that allow us to burst out of our normal body functions for a period of time in order to

Avoid danger and escape death.

However,

This person's instinct to avoid death has been completely reversed.

He will not avoid death, but actively seek death... and his instinct to pursue [death] ranks first. He may even fall into a state of excitement during the pursuit and try his best to complete it all.

A 'concept of death' is implanted in their consciousness in some way that cannot be identified by conventional autopsy methods.

This is just my guess, I need more fresh corpse samples! By restraining the living dead who attempted suicide and vivisecting the brains during the suicidal impulse, we may be able to find out the problem."

At this time,

The white-haired Lotson in the team looked at the living dead in front of him who committed suicide by jumping off the building, and at Mr. Hervoye who was excited about the breakthrough in the investigation. A weird smile spread out from the corner of his mouth.
