The Puppet Hospital was modified from an abandoned stone processing factory. Walking into the hospital, there were pebbles everywhere. Some of the stones were raw, while others had been processed. But even so, they were still scattered all over the hospital, which was not a pleasant sight to see. Together with the gray stone buildings covered in moss, the place looked like an abandoned and dangerous building.
Ruin lovers might find something to enjoy here, but ordinary people would only find it desolate.
Soon, he followed Rein into a small building that was about three stories high.
Along the long corridor, there were many rooms sealed by iron fences. Through the iron fences, Angor could see that all the rooms were occupied by insane patients.
Most of the patients were sitting on their iron beds without saying anything. They looked like normal people who were thinking about something.
It was only when they heard footsteps in the corridor and looked in the direction of the sound that they noticed their abnormality.
Everyone's expression was different. Some were stupefied, some were crazy, some were strange, and some were naive. They were like actors in a stage play, displaying different expressions and appearances.
They stared at the people on the walkway with strange emotions in their eyes.
They did not say anything, but the strange silence still made people's hair stand on end.
"Their ability to capture information did not decrease because of the infection at all. Moreover, their sensitivity to sound and their perception of heat are not something that ordinary people can reach. It is as if they have obtained an extraordinary perception out of thin air."
It was Rein who was walking in front of the group. He tapped the ground with his cane as he walked.
The first tap caused ripples of energy to spread from the tip of the cane. As the ripples spread, everyone became invisible. However, the patients in the room were still staring in the direction of their movements. It was obvious that invisibility could not stop them from capturing biological information.
The second tap not only made them invisible again, but also covered the entire Puppet Hospital with a powerful force field. No one could hear anything. Even Sunders and Angor had no way to resist Rein's Silence Field.
However, even after hiding his figure and hiding his voice, he still did not block the patient's vision. They were still being stared at.
It was not until Rhine tapped the ground for the third time and blocked out all the heat around them that the group of patients turned around and turned back into the Thinkers.
This was exactly what Rhine had said. The ability of this group of patients to capture biological information was far beyond that of normal people.
"According to our research, they do not have the ability to think. Their only goal is to infect other creatures," Rein said.
In other words, their desire to infect others was very strong. Plus, they had strong senses. If these people entered a city of ordinary people, it would not take long for the entire city to fall into their hands.
"Then what's the energy source for them to survive?" Greya asked.
Even if they became lunatics, they still had the bodies of mortals. Therefore, they still needed to consume energy from food to maintain their body's activity. However, this group of lunatics did not look like they would eat on time. This was Greya's question.
Rein glanced at Greya. "Lifeline."
"As for what lifeline is, you'll see.." Rein did not explain further. Soon, they arrived at an open door.
It was a cramped room, just like the one where the lunatics were kept. There were no windows, only beds, chairs, and glowing plants on the ceiling.
Rein asked them to lock Iwa inside.
After locking up Eva, he went to the next empty room and locked up Old Ham in the same way as before. Rein led them to the central hall of this floor.
"If you have any questions, you can speak now," Rein said after they sat down.
"Why are you here, Mister Rein? Did something happen in the ruin again?" Sunders spoke first.
Rhine said, "Something happened yesterday. A large number of living wires erupted. But with Tree Spirit's help, everything is under control. Based on previous experience, it will not erupt again for at least a week, so I came back. "
Of course, Rein also came back for another reason — Angor.
He knew Angor would return to Brute Cavern in two days, so he came back just in time. He had something to tell Angor. Also, Angor's personal value had been fully demonstrated. Apart from his personal abilities, Angor's identity as a member of the research department was very important to Brute Cavern's future development. Angor's achievements, abilities, and future growth did not depend on Brute Cavern very much. Rein wanted to know Angor's attitude toward Brute Cavern so that he could make some decisions in the future.
However, Rein did not need to tell Sunders about these things.
"Lifeline eruptions happen over a period of time? In other words, this has been going on for a long time? "
Rein nodded. "Yes. Since two months ago."
"So, what's a lifeline? I don't remember seeing any last time I went to the ruin. " Sunders went to the ruin where Rein was trapped. Many people went missing, but he did not find any lifeline.
Where in the world did this lifeline come from? Apart from Rein, everyone wanted to know the answer to that question.
Rein considered for a moment. "The lifeline has nothing to do with the ruin itself. It came from the demonic creatures that invaded the Evernight Kingdom. "
"Monsters from the Evernight Kingdom? Are they from the Nightmare Realm? "
Rein nodded heavily. "Correct."
Sunders did not frown. The strange ruin was located at the edge of Parmigi Highlands, which was close to the Evernight Kingdom. Sunders knew about the invasion of the nightmare creatures.
He also knew that the ruin was the first stronghold of the nightmare creatures on Parmigi Highlands.
But if Sunders remembered correctly, the nightmare creatures in that stronghold were all colorful dragonflies. Even if there was something similar to a "nest" that could release the parasites that ravaged Midnight Sovereign, it was still far from the lifeline mentioned by Rein.
Angor asked, "Mister Rein, are these infected because of the lifeline?"
Rein nodded. "Correct."
Instead of asking about the lifeline, Angor frowned. "If the lifeline is caused by the nightmare creatures, why can't I sense any nightmare aura from these people?"
Last time, the infected people in Midnight Sovereign also had some nightmare aura on them.
However, he did not sense any Nightmare Realm aura after walking around the hospital for a long time, which puzzled him a lot.
