Chapter 217 Death Instinct

  Levenholm, riverside in the city.

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

The man headed by    is the current president of the Sunshine Hospital, the founder of the secret medicine of the sun, Des Campbell.

   His influence factor as a doctor can be ranked in the top ten among the Tinian body doctors.

   dark skin bald head,

Heterogeneous clothing structure (71% leather content), white tapered robes, the surface covered with golden sun patterns of wavy lines, and even exaggerated sun discs (specialization of gentlemen's skin) on the back, It's even a bit like his wing structure.

  If you take off his coat, you will find that his black skin has been partially flared, and the skin lines of shining gold spots just draw a sun pattern on the back.

   Wherever he goes, the fog of the nearby streets will be dispelled.

  The output of each bottle of Sun Elixir will go through his 'Sunshine Fermentation'.

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

   Yesterday he even received a personal letter from Zion's top brass,

  Zion executives have made a decision that if the death toll in Ravenholm continues to grow and exceeds the rated number, it is necessary to abandon the entire city, including the hospital he has worked so hard to operate to this day.

   Therefore, he immediately took the preparatory doctors carefully trained by him in the hospital, a total of six people, to search for pathogens in every corner of the city in the name of [Sun Church], determined to find the pathogen before the organization issued an order to completely evacuate.

However,

   The impatience in his heart was gradually magnified as time went by. When Diess ordered a separate search based on his own senses, self-ideas, and abilities, [Irritable] turned into [Gap].

   Two hours later, when the squad regroups.

   A preparatory doctor in the team who was valued by Diess did not return to the team. Even if the sun was radiated for the first time, he still could not get any induction.

Missing!

   At this moment, even Diess felt a sense of retreat, a fear of the unknown, and the sun roulette on his back was dimmed a lot.

  【Sunshine Hospital-General Ward】

   The momentum of the four-man team that Yi Chen was in was slightly sluggish.

  Old Mr. Helvoye found nothing with the most conventional autopsy methods. All three fresh corpses were craniotomized, and all brain tissues that might have been invaded by pathogens were sliced ​​and dissolved with detection agents, and nothing was found.

   Even the always optimistic, squinting white-robed Luotsen frowned slightly. He manipulated the blood to flow through every corner of the corpse's brain, but also found nothing.

  Everything is normal, there is no disease at all, this is the only conclusion that can be drawn at the moment.

   What caused such a massive and growing death?

   Yi Chen was naturally not idle either,

   He stared at the still fresh brain between the skulls the whole time, his vision wandering between the sulci, trying to figure out the problem.

In this process,

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

  As the characteristic skill of 【Student】-≮Central Taste≯ is passively activated by these uncontaminated, non-pathological dead brains.

   Yi Chen quickly wiped it off with his palm.

   At this time, the voice of Little Grape came:

"Yup! Can't your kid get memory fragments directly by absorbing cerebrospinal fluid? With so many corpses you eat them all at once, it's not easy to get a sound memory of death. 』

  『Little Grape, have you ever thought that I might get infected and die because of this? 』

  『It’s okay~ In case you die, I will immediately pack it for you and send it back to the Seven Days Cemetery. With your current physical state, it can be fermented in the cemetery for at most 100 days before crawling out again. 』

  『Don't joke, unless you have to, I don't consider ingesting cerebrospinal fluid for the time being. As a veteran autopsy examiner, Mr. Helvoye must have his own unique methods, so let's take a look first. 』

  『Coward! 』

  No matter what Little Grape says, Yi Chen will definitely not take this risk.

at this time,

   Mr. Helvoye's breath changed, and the whole body exuded a smell of dead wood mixed with corpses. He decided to use some methods that were not in accordance with the conventional autopsy.

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

  The coat takes off,

   type rubber gloves and rain boots are also removed,

  The exposed hands and feet are full of tiny holes, which makes the scalp tingle just by looking at them.

   Upon closer inspection, you will find that these holes are enlarged pores, and there seems to be something hidden in them.

   "What I'm going to do next will violate a gentleman's character and personality ethics to a certain extent, but the original intention is to find the root cause of death. If this method still doesn't work, I will voluntarily give up this task.

  You back up a little. "

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

   He leaned over to support the ground with his palms, and droplets of thick liquid overflowed from the honeycomb-like pores, drawing a strange formation on the ground by himself.

  Zizzi~ The light bulbs in the sick room began to flicker.

   As he pulled his hands up, a pair of handmade brown coffins rose to the ground.

  ga~

   The erected coffin disintegrated on its own, and a 'corpse' with a human scale line drawn stood in place.

  Yi Chen can detect that the corpse summoned by the old gentleman is alive, its whole body organs are functioning normally, but the brain is empty.

   His eyes were tightly closed, and he was emitting yin, like a living dead.

   Helvoye immediately opened the skull of the living dead,

   And then transfer the brain of a corpse that has been dead for less than half an hour to the skull of the living dead by means of perfect 'human brain grafting'.

  Mr. Helvoye immediately exited the ward to join the team after suturing the skull, considering the possibility of the spread of death.

  Click! Close the door, leaving only a small hole to spy on the ward.

  The living dead summoned by Helvoye will actively accept foreign organs, the nerve blood vessels will be quickly connected, and start to send the freshest blood to the brain.

  Ha… take a deep breath

  The confused eyes gradually became more energetic,

   Spreading his arms, he quickly inspected this new body, and then twisted his head to observe the surrounding scene,

  Suddenly, he rushed towards the window,

   Even though he was completely adapted to the new body, he still burst out with a running speed that surpassed his instinct, and a certain kind of strong will stimulated the frantic secretion of adrenal hormones.

  呯!

   smashed the glass window of the ward, fell vertically from the height of the seven-story building, and hit the ground with his head perfectly.

  Crack!

   Everyone also went downstairs to the outside of the hall for the first time.

  The brain plasma and blood are spreading out,

  The corpse whose cervical vertebra was broken and the top of its head sunken, barely able to see its specific appearance, this person was filled with an extremely happy smile, as if his dream had come true, and it had come true twice.

   Helvoye, who saw this scene, got a preliminary guess.

   "Instinct, just like human beings breathe when they are born, actively take in the oxygen in the air, and look for food when they are hungry.

As living creatures, we also instinctively avoid death. In daily life, we try to avoid the risk of death as much as possible. When encountering a death event that can threaten our life, our body will even secrete hormones to make us break out of bodily functions beyond the normal level for a period of time, so that Avoid danger, 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, and he may even fall into a state of excitement during the pursuit, trying his best to accomplish all this.

   A 'concept of death' was somehow implanted into their consciousness, and could not be detected by conventional autopsy methods.

   This is just my guess, I need more fresh corpse samples! Confining the living dead who attempted suicide and vivisection the brain during the suicidal urge may be able to identify the problem. "

   At this time,

   The white-haired Lotson in the team looked at the living dead who jumped off the building and committed suicide in front of him, and at Mr. Helvoye who was excited by the breakthrough in the investigation, a grotesque smile filled the corners of his mouth.
