Chapter 694: A Glimmer Of Hope [ Second Update ]
The short youth was about to open his mouth when his pupils suddenly shrank. He looked up and saw two black shadows rapidly approaching from behind. He could feel the shocking murderous aura coming towards him.
“Not good, they are coming!”The short youth panicked. He had seen the skills of these two people who killed his companion. It was definitely not something that they could resist. He hurriedly pushed away professor Poland, “Doctor, you should run. We will stop them!”
Poland also noticed Dudian who was chasing them. Their faces changed. They wanted to run forward but their legs were weak. They were scared and almost fell down.
At this moment, Dudian had caught up. He looked at the old man who was surrounded by several people. Compared to the information on the file, his age and height were basically the same. He was no longer soft-hearted. He shook the bell, he rushed over with Aisha.
“Doctor, run! !”The short youth roared and pulled out his knife to meet Dudian.
Aisha growled and rushed out. She was faster than Dudian and immediately knocked the short youth to the ground. She tore off one of his arms.
Dudian went to kill the other people.
These people knew that they couldn’t escape and tried to resist.
Poland and the other two researchers in white coats panicked. They supported each other as they tried to escape.
The fight ended in a few minutes. Dudian and Aisha quickly caught up with Poland who was running away. He jumped in front of the three people and blocked the way, he said: “Doctor, take a rest if you are tired.”
Poland looked at him in fear. He forced himself to calm down: “Who Are You? Do you know what the crime of attacking our Monster Institute is? No matter who is behind you, you will be found out!”
Dudian coldly said: “If you don’t want to suffer then speak less. As long as you are obedient, you will not die.”
Poland’s face turned green and white. He thought: “What do you want to do with me?”
“I want to make a witcher.”Dudian wasn’t afraid of exposing his thoughts: “I will let you live after I finish making it.”
Poland was startled for a moment. No wonder the two didn’t search for materials and experimental materials but wanted to catch him. He was calm for a moment, he clenched his teeth: “I can’t make a witcher by myself. Even if you catch me it will be useless.”
“So you have no value?”
Poland’s face changed: “I don’t mean that. I’m just saying that you don’t want to kill innocent people. I can help you make a witcher. Please let my friend Go.”
“Professor is kind-hearted.”Dudian said in a cold tone: “You can’t even save your own life and you still care about your friend. Don’t worry. As long as you are obedient then everything will be fine.”
Poland was relieved. They felt a bit strange. The only ones who could make the Witcher’s device were the big forces like the family of the witcher or the nobles above the Baron. Even if such forces didn’t need to kidnap him.., as long as there was an order, the Institute of Magic would tailor it for them. Why would they take such a big risk to attack their institute?
He was a bit puzzled about Dudian’s identity but he suppressed it in his heart.
Dudian’s mind was sharp. He could guess the thoughts in Poland’s eyes: “Come Back to the institute with me. I want to visit Your Institute.”
Poland was stunned: “You… You Want to go back?”
“Why? Don’t you want to go back?”Dudian asked back.
Poland replied: “No, no.”He didn’t think that Dudian would attack the institute. He didn’t want to take the opportunity to capture him. But he still dared to return to the institute. wasn’t he worried that their reinforcements would come?
However, returning to the institute was good for him. He only hoped that Dudian would stay as long as possible.
Dudian brought the three back to the institute. The place was empty. Almost all the people in the institute were escorted by guards. Dudian continued down, as he walked he asked: “What do you research in Your Institute? Do you study undeads?”
Poland couldn’t guess dudian’s thoughts: “We usually study all kinds of monsters. Undeads are one kind of monsters. Although they were human when they were alive but they were infected by the virus. There is no difference between them and monsters.”
Dudian casually said: “If they are infected into undeads, is there a way to treat them?”
Poland was slightly startled. He looked at Dudian and thought for a while: “Is your family infected?”He thought of the outbreak of the plague yesterday. Many people in the city were infected, if Dudian’s family was infected by the virus then it would be reasonable for them to take the risk to attack the Monster Research Institute.
Dudian didn’t deny it: “Is there any way?”He put away his relaxed face and looked into his eyes.
Poland’s heart slightly trembled as Dudian looked at it, dudian said: “If you are infected by an undead, you can remove the infected tissue if it is a preliminary infection. But if the infection is very deep and the virus spreads to the heart, then it will be more troublesome. But there is still a glimmer of hope.”
“What if the whole body is infected, including the brain?”Dudian stared at him and asked. His muscles couldn’t help but tense up.
Poland was stunned: “You mean that you have been infected and become an undead? This, this…”
“How is it?”
“Basically, there is no cure.”Poland swallowed his throat. He felt that it was difficult to speak. When he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the air around him had suddenly cooled down. It was cold to the bone, there was an inexplicable feeling of panic and trembling. This feeling came from the eyes of the youth in front of him. It was extremely cold, filled with endless killing intent. There was also infinite madness in his eyes. However, it gave people a strange calm, it was like a frozen tornado.
“What do you mean by basically there is no cure?”Dudian’s voice was a bit hoarse. His fingers were clenched and his bones were cracking. His footsteps had stopped and his eyes were fixed on Poland’s face.
Poland’s heart was beating fast and he barely moved his eyes away, he looked down: “If we have turned into a corpse then our consciousness has basically disappeared. It is no different from death. We have been researching how to solve this problem but the progress is slow. No, but there was a prophet who put forward a concept. He said that if we can reunite consciousness then we can restore the undeads to human.”
“Reunite consciousness?”Dudian grabbed a glimmer of hope and pressed his hands on his shoulders, “How?”
“This, this…”Poland was a bit difficult to answer. He thought for a long time about the wording, he said: “With the current method, it’s basically impossible to do this. It’s just a concept. It’s impossible to implement it. We haven’t figured out what consciousness is. Some say it’s soul, some say it’s thought, but what is soul, what is thought, what is made of material. These are still unknown, so…”
