Plague Doctor

A plague that turns people into ghouls?

As soon as he started reading this nameless diary, Gu Jun's heart skipped a beat, "There are also ghouls in the foreign world? There was also a plague?"

Ghoul, this is naturally a translated word, but he can understand that in the different text "ghoul" consists of two parts, corpse-eating and monster.

The word "necrophilia" also means "necrophilia" and "corpse hider".

There are many words that express the meaning of "monster" in the variant text, which can show some different characteristics of monsters. The word ghoul uses is "long-clawed and sharp-mouthed", which can be used to describe beasts. But the word monster used to describe the dead skin man actually means "horrible thing".

With its long claws and sharp mouth, Gu Jun thought of the ghoul he had just dissected, "This seems to refer to the same species."

Language can sometimes express a lot of other information besides itself. Obviously, in the eyes of foreigners, ghouls are not as scary as dead skin men.

At least at the time these diaries were written, ghouls were only on par with ferocious beasts.

Is this why two caretakers take turns guarding an infected house? Are there infected patients in the house?

These thoughts flashed through Gu Jun's mind, and he thought again, when did this ghoul plague happen? Before, at the same time, or after hemoptysis? The diary was not marked with a detailed date, and even if it was marked, he actually wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Moreover, the paper is yellowed and old, and looks similar to those of Langton and Payani...

"Let's take a look again." Gu Jun continued reading in the diary with these questions:

[This plague spread from Laken City, and some very scary rumors spread.

Three months ago, the first infected patient was identified and confirmed to have practiced cannibalism.

Two weeks later, more than 5,000 people in Laken were infected. Rumor has it that a huge grave pit was dug outside the city. The pit was dug very deep until the groundwater seeped out and could no longer be dug. The corpses of these patients were thrown in and buried.

When they dug the first grave, they thought it would be enough to sustain the plague, but less than a month later, there were several such graves outside the city of Laken.

All people coming from Laken City are subject to strict inspection before they can pass. I heard a gravedigger from Laken say in the tavern in Old Willing that not all the people who were thrown in were corpses. Some of the infected people had not completely turned into monsters and still retained some human consciousness, just like that. was thrown in.

The grave digger said that before being thrown in, some people were wailing, some were cursing, and some seemed crazy. They didn't need to be pushed by others, they shouted weird languages ​​and jumped into the pile of corpses at the bottom of the pit. When the soil falls, they are dead.

Just listening to these descriptions, we feel very scary. Is there no other way?

"In order to control the epidemic, you know." The gravedigger said to us, "The people who carry out these things are a group of Dr. Carlop."

It is another scary situation that Dr. Cullop would perform such a treatment.

But at that time, many people in the tavern said that this was false news and that the gravedigger must be talking nonsense while drunk. Because some people couldn't listen to the gravedigger's insult to Dr. Carlop, they started to argue and fight with the gravedigger, and the sheriff who arrived took them both away.

At that time, no one took it seriously and just listened to the excitement. Our town of Wasan is quite far away from Laken City. This remoteness protects this town from the outside world to a certain extent. Neither the good nor the bad will come to our side.

In the town of Wasan, there is no Dr. Carlop and no plague, just a bunch of country bumpkins.

That was what we thought half a month ago, but at night half a month later, I was responsible for guarding Mr. Garder's house.

The arrival of the plague was sudden, but just like the rumored beginning of the plague outbreak in Laken City, a collective delirium occurred that night half a month ago, and many people in the town had the same nightmare. They begin to experience symptoms after waking up from the dream. 】

"Nightmare..." Gu Jun's brows furrowed high, another disease originating from nightmares.

It will quickly transform the person's body into another state, and there is the shadow of a ghoul behind it...

[The transformation from human to ghoul is very fast, and the body is mutating every moment. It is said that it will only take about half a month for this transformation to be completely completed. The epidemic in our town has been going on for half a month, but I have no idea what is going on in the house I am guarding.

After the patients were diagnosed with illness, they were locked up in their own houses. We sent them food every day and prohibited any entry or exit.

The reason why the patients were not gathered together was because the isolation instructions given by Carlop said that doing so would accelerate their illness. They are mentally ill, causing changes in their bodies. Concentrating them is exactly connecting their spirits, which will only produce more serious consequences.

In fact, today the mayor has led a group of people to dig graves outside the town, and everyone is prepared for the worst. 】

After reading this first diary entry, Gu Jun felt a chill in his heart. It was also a kind of "nightmare disease". The transmission principles of the two should be similar or even the same.

Currently, the Tianji Bureau isolates patients with nightmare disease in a centralized manner to facilitate management and treatment. However, according to the diary...

No wonder the epidemic continues to expand even if old patients are controlled.

"You have to ask the bureau to separate the patients quickly." Gu Jun was a little anxious. This was not just for the sake of each patient. He couldn't let "

More serious consequences" appear in this world.

But is this definitely the case in the foreign world? He had to read the diary first before deciding whether to call Commander Yao.

Gu Jun's reading speed gradually became a little faster, but he did not miss any subtle information, and he was constantly analyzing it in his mind.

He felt that this plague occurred before hemoptysis, otherwise the people in Wasan Town would not view the plague and Dr. Carlop in this way. Although the epidemic is spreading, they still have great hope and look forward to Dr. Carlop's wonderful work.

Therefore, even though the haze of death is approaching, there is no despair in the words of this diary.

This caretaker has been responsible for guarding the house of Mr. Galder. Mr. Galder is a young rich man in the town. He once had the opportunity to go to Carlop College to become a doctor, but Mr. Galder failed in the end. Others don't know the reason. They only say that he has low ambitions and just wants to live with the family wealth passed down by his ancestors.

Now in the huge mansion, all the servants have dispersed, leaving only Mr. Galder alone.

It happened that night.

Love the Plague Doctor.
