Plague Doctor

Can you turn a man into a ghost plague?

Just beginning to read this anonymous diary, Gu Jun's head jumped, “Is there a ghost in the alien world? And the plague? ”

Ghoul, naturally it's a translated word, but he understands, "Ghoul" in alien language is composed of two parts, the Ghoul, the Monster.

The word "corpse eater" also means “necrophilia”, “hider".

In other words, there are many words expressing the meaning of “monster," which can exhibit some different qualities of monster. The word "dead ghost" is used to describe beasts. But the word "monster" used to describe a dead man means “thing of terror”.

Long clawed mouth, Gu Jun remembered the carnivore he had just dissected, "This seems to mean the same species. ”

Language can sometimes convey a lot of information other than itself, obviously in the eyes of an alien, a ghost is worse than a dead man.

At least at the time these diaries were written, the ogres were only comparable to the Violent Beast category.

Is that why two caretakers take turns guarding an infected house? Is there an infected patient in the house?

These thoughts flashed through Gu Jun's mind, and he wondered, when did this ghost plague happen? Before, at the same time, or after coughing up hemorrhage? The diary does not specify a detailed date, and even if it does, it cannot tell the difference.

And the paper is yellow and old, it looks about the same as the paper from Langton and Peiani...

“Take another look.” With these questions in mind, Gu Jun continued to read the diary:

[The plague is spreading from Lacken City, and there are some terrible rumors.

Three months ago, the first infected patient was identified and confirmed as having eaten a corpse.

Two weeks later, more than 5,000 people were infected in Lacken City. Rumor has it that a huge grave pit was dug outside the city, very deep, until the groundwater seeped out and could not be dug, and the bodies of these patients were thrown in and buried.

When they dug the first grave pit, they thought it was enough to sustain the plague, but less than a month later, there were several such pits outside Lacken City.

All those coming from Lacken City are subject to strict scrutiny before passing. I heard a gravedigger from Lacken in an old Willem tavern say that not all the bodies were thrown in, that some infected people had not yet become monsters altogether, and that they still retained the consciousness of a few people and were thrown in.

The grave diggers said that before they were thrown in, there were people screaming, people cursing, and some people appearing insane, they didn't need to be pushed, they yelled strange words and jumped into the pit pile themselves, before the dirt had fallen, and they were dead.

Just listening to these descriptions makes us feel terrible. Is there no other way?

“To control the epidemic, you know.” The gravedigger said to us, "It's just a bunch of Dr. Carlop doing these things. ”

Dr. Carlop would do this, which is another terrible situation.

But a lot of people in the tavern said it was false news, and it must have been the gravedigger talking nonsense after the drink. The sheriff who arrived took them both away because he could not hear the gravediggers destroying Dr. Carlop like this and beat them up in a fight with the gravediggers.

Nobody was serious at the time, just listening to the noise. Our town of Watson is a long way from Lacken City, and this isolation to some extent protects the town from outside aggression. No good or bad will come to our side.

Worthingtown, no Dr. Carlop, no plague, just a bunch of hillbillies.

Half a month ago, that's what we thought, but half a month later, at night, I was in charge of Mr. Calder's house.

The plague came suddenly, but, as it was rumored at the beginning of the plague in Lacken City, a collective delirium occurred half a month ago that night, and many people in the town had the same nightmare. After they woke up, they started to develop symptoms.

“Nightmare...” Gu Jun's eyebrows were wrinkled in the heights, and the disease started with the nightmare.

It can rapidly transform a person's body into another state with a ghost shadow behind it...

[The conversion from human to corpse ghost is very fast, and the body is mutating every moment of the day. It is said that this conversion will be complete in only about half a month. It's been half a month since the outbreak in our town, and I don't know what's going on in the house I'm guarding.

Patients are checked out and then locked up in their own houses, and we send them food every day, strictly forbidding any entry or exit.

The reason we don't concentrate patients is because Carlop gave us isolation guidelines that would speed up their condition. They are mentally ill, leading to physical changes, and concentrating them precisely on bringing their spirits together will only have more serious consequences.

In fact, today the mayor has started digging graveyards outside the town with a bunch of people, and everyone is ready for the worst.

After reading this first diary, Gu Jun's hair chills, which is also a “nightmare disease”, the propagation principle should be similar or even the same.

Now the Sky Machinery Bureau centrally isolates nightmare patients, which is easy to manage and treat, but according to the diary...

No wonder the epidemic is spreading even when old patients are under control.

“We need to get the bureau to separate the patients.” Gu Jun is in a bit of a hurry. This is not just for the sake of every patient. “The more serious consequences” cannot appear in this world.

But is it true what happened in the alien world? He has to read the diary before deciding whether to call Yao.

Gu Jun gradually read a little faster, but didn't miss out on every little bit of information, and he was constantly mocking the analysis in his mind.

He felt that the plague had occurred before coughing up hemorrhage, otherwise people in Wortham would not see the plague and Dr. Carlop that way. Although the epidemic is spreading, there is still great hope for Dr. Carlop to do his best.

So even as the shadow of death approaches, there is no sense of despair between the lines in this diary.

The caretaker was always in charge of keeping Mr. Calder's house, a young rich man in town who had the opportunity to go to Callup College to become a doctor, but Mr. Callup did not end up there, and no one else knew why, saying that he was not motivated and that he was only trying to keep his ancestral fortune alive.

Now in the grand mansion, all the servants dispersed, leaving Mr. Gard alone.

Things happened that night.
