In the Secret Keepers' branch.
Fang Xian first sent a few unlucky fellows who had fallen into delirium to the interrogation room. He watched as Lov sealed the worm statues and manuscripts that he had seized. Then, Lov collapsed and was sent to the treatment room.
Things like writing a summary report immediately fell to him, and he was extremely busy.
It was not until the next morning that he put down his pen and rubbed his sore wrists before he went to the treatment room to visit Lov.
As a senior investigator, he had suffered a huge setback this time.
Had it not been for Fang Xian, he would probably have died in the sculpture workshop.
For an investigator, this was not a rare situation.
The smell of disinfectant permeated the treatment room.
Fang Xian looked at Lov, who was lying on the clean bed, and the blood bottle hanging next to him. Watching the red blood being injected into Lov's arm through a dropper and an IV drip, Fang Xian was rather speechless. "What kind of treatment is this?"
He knew very well that Lov's injury yesterday was a mental shock, and it might have been accompanied by a drop in his rationality.
A regular blood transfusion probably would not work.
"'Blood Therapy'. It's something an investigator found in the Other Realm … It was a very dangerous experience, and he almost didn't make it back …"
Luo Fu gave a simple explanation and kept it a secret. He did not mention the specific name of the Foreign Realm.
"Traveling to the Other Realm as an ordinary person? The power system of this world is truly a mess … "Fang Xian added in his heart. He did not ask further and simply focused on the topic of 'Blood Therapy'." Is this treatment very good? "
"Yes, it has miraculous effects on all kinds of injuries. It can even stabilize our minds and restore our rationality … It can bring miraculous healing effects, but any supernatural power has its drawbacks … The drawback of 'Blood Therapy' is that it injects the blood of some 'foreign species' into our bodies, and we can't use it too much. Once we exceed a certain limit, we will become monsters … Many investigators have gone through too many blood therapies, and when they are seriously injured again, they have to give up on this treatment …"
Lov stood up and removed the IV drip. His face was ruddy, and his eyes were clear. There was no sign that he had been injured at all.
The effect of this blood therapy was truly amazing!
"We still have a lot of work to do today … That's right, since you're the one who started this, you have to participate in it as well. In other words … your mandatory leave has been cancelled."
Lov walked out of the treatment room and eagerly took out a cigarette. After lighting it up, he took a deep puff and exhaled a smoke ring in satisfaction.
"Isn't the case already solved? The murderer has also been arrested and brought to justice, and the report has been written. As for the follow-up treatment of the patients, it's not our problem, right? "
Fang Xian frowned. Of course it was an act.
Perhaps other investigators would also gradually become abnormal when they came into frequent contact with supernatural powers.
But he was different.
He still wanted to find more good and beautiful things to use as a source of inspiration and creativity.
"We've already banned the Capulo manuscript, and it was only an accident that Devin obtained it. However, after investigating this case, we found another clue and combined it with another case …"
Lov finished half of the cigarette in one go and said.
It seemed that in addition to treatment last night, he was also doing something else. "Now … it's on my head."
"And I'm your assistant and partner, so I lost my leave … Tell me, what case?"
Fang Xian asked curiously.
"With your authority, you can't read its files yet, but I can tell you the general situation … It's about the 'worm'. According to the channel through which Devin obtained the Capulo manuscript, the secret keeper stepped up the investigation last night and got a clue about the 'True Book of Secret Gu' … Well, you only need to know its name. This is an evil book that once tempted many people to worship the worm. In history, Capulo was also one of the victims."
"Once upon a time, a deranged madman, a foreigner from the East, even wanted to publish it. Fortunately, he was discovered and stopped by the Review Board …"
"It's said that the real True Scripture of Secret Gu has been destroyed, but its copy and the research notes passed down by some cultists are still being secretly circulated … The clue we got this time is related to such a copy …"
…
"'True Book of Secret Gu'? That name sounds a bit strange … "Fang Xian's eyes moved.
"Yes, it's an imported product from the land of sunrise in the East. It's a mysterious place with a completely different race and customs from ours. It's popular to worship ancestors … It's said that the 'True Book of Secret Gu' comes from a book compiled by their great ancestor, the 'Black Emperor'. It's called 'Black Emperor's Nine Mysteries Book' …"
Lov's expression became serious. "In the future, when you hear this name, run as far as you can and report it to the higher-ups! The headquarters will give you the highest response! "
"No problem!"
Fang Xian agreed and memorized the names of the two books.
Without a doubt, these were books that described supernatural powers in detail. They might not be systematic, but they must be full of 'power' and could serve as an excellent source of creativity.
"Okay, let's go see the patients first."
After smoking, Lov brought Fang Xian to the examination room.
The people who were sent yesterday were among them.
They were still wearing evening gowns and fancy clothes, but their eyes were bloodshot, and their mouths were gurgling. They seemed to have fallen into a state of half-madness.
"In fact, they're not at fault. It's just that they've been looking at that sculpture for too long …" Fang Xian mumbled in his heart. Then, he asked, "What will happen to them?"
"They've been staring at the 'darkness' for too long and have been corroded by it. Although they don't have physical mutations like Devin, their minds are no longer normal … After the interrogation, they'll be sent to the Leybecca Sanatorium for treatment. When their conditions improve, they can be discharged, just like you. However, if their conditions worsen, they'll be sent to the mental asylum at the back of the mountain," Lov replied with a shrug.
"What about blood therapy? Is it useless? "
Fang Xian suddenly thought of a problem.
"It's useful, but the materials used to make the blood potions are too precious … We don't even have enough supply for the investigators …" Lov sighed. "Therefore, we can only try ordinary treatment first …"
Fang Xian asked casually. After getting the answer, he could not help but fall silent.
Lov seemed to think that Luke was upset. He patted Luke's shoulder comfortingly. "Other than us, there are still a lot of investigators around the world who are quietly fighting against the supernatural forces. There are heavy casualties … This is a choice and sacrifice that must be made."
