Chapter 510 The tip of the horn Pierre and the bartender looked at Lumian and the others, their bloodshot eyes gradually changing from dullness to fear. They lowered their voices and spoke the same words in a murmur: "You know... "You know there's madness here..." Suddenly, Pierre's expression twisted and he growled hysterically: “You can’t leave either! "People outside will find out, and we'll all be doomed!" He shoved his body into the open window of the steam train, trying to climb in and drag Lumian and the others out. Lugano stood up quickly and swung his right fist like he was swinging a hoe.
With a bang, Pierre fainted and hung on the edge of the window. The bartender seemed to have lost his mind and stepped on the middle-aged man who was soliciting customers and tried to jump into the car. Lugano threw another punch, knocking the bartender, whose whites of his eyes were bloodshot, unconscious and lying there with Pierre. “They didn’t turn into monsters…” Lumian had thought that the two townspeople had suddenly gone crazy. Lugano turned sideways and asked in a deep voice: "What should we do now?" “What should we do?” Lumian repeated the “doctor’s” question. The development of this matter so far not only showed abnormality intuitively, but also made him feel contradictory and inconsistent. The strange madness that can make people lose their minds and imitate canine creatures and the successive onset of the disease clearly reveal the existence of supernatural factors. But since Pierre and other townspeople don't want the outside world, the government, and the church to know about the madness, and are worried that it will lead to the disappearance of the entire town, why did they tell Lumian about the madness so easily? This can be explained by the fact that his mental pressure had already reached its limit, and Lumian's words that he would get sick in the future became the last straw that broke the camel's back. After being awakened, he instinctively prevented the secret from leaking. But just as Lumian asked before: Why not escape from here? Faced with this kind of "contagious" madness that has no cause and is difficult to prevent, shouldn't normal humans quickly flee the town of Dadel and return after the plague subsides? Even if they were worried that escaping would attract official attention, after getting rid of the madness and eliminating those who were at risk of infection, they could also take some dry food and run to the nearby mountains to hide for a few days. Unless, there is some force preventing the townspeople of Dudder from escaping! Lumian also confirmed this from other details: The residents of the small town actually knew that similar madness had occurred in other places and that entire villages had been wiped out by the authorities. Normally, wouldn't they only hear that a certain village had suffered a disaster and all the people had been buried? After the initial infected people became ill, those who went crazy one after another included church clergy, police officers and officials from the Department of Health. As a result, the plague very accurately destroyed the center of communication between the town of Dadel and the regional authorities from the very beginning. It was as if some intelligent and dangerous being was deliberately spreading madness and using various methods to prevent the townspeople from escaping. But if there really was such a mastermind, why would he allow Pierre and others to inform the doctor on the steam train about the situation? If such a steam train was left in Dadel Town and failed to arrive at Port Gatti tomorrow morning, it would inevitably attract an investigation by official Beyonders. In addition, Lumian asked himself, if he really wanted to experiment with some crazy disease, if he really wanted to do something anti-human, he would definitely choose a relatively closed village or town with little contact with the outside world, rather than a transportation hub where steam trains pass by every day or even stay overnight. Even if Lumian hadn't asked about Pierre's situation just now, those who went to Dadel Town to sleep in a warm bed and taste beautiful little frogs would also find something unusual. He couldn't keep them all, right? This would be tracked down! There are many contradictions, inconsistencies, and inexplicable things... both smart and stupid, both cautious and careless... Lumian pondered and looked at Lugano and said: "What can we do? Of course we have to find a way to report this to the authorities. You don't want to investigate the source of the madness yourself and save the townspeople here, do you? I never thought you were so noble."
Lugano smiled awkwardly. He had never thought of the latter possibility. "How do I inform the authorities?" he asked sincerely. He rarely does this and has little experience. "The easiest way is to find the train police, tell him what Pierre said, and ask him to use the radio on the train to contact the relevant departments in the Fosse area or Haut-Maritime Province." Lumian said casually. Lugano hesitated for a moment and said: “But, but as witnesses, we will be asked to assist in the investigation. Our identities are fake. Even if we use your magical item to change our appearance, it is easy to expose the fact that we are Beyonders under some mystical abilities.” Lumian thought for a moment, then smiled and said: “Then find an empty room on the platform, pile up dozens of bundles of explosives, and then detonate them all at once. With a bang, the roof will be blown off and the house will collapse. In this way, not only will the train conductor and the train police immediately report it, but the officials in the Foss area will also notice it directly. This place is not far from Foss City. When they conduct an in-depth investigation, they will discover the hidden problems in Dadel Town. "How about this method? It doesn't require us to show up in person, right?" Lugano thought for a moment and said: "When the authorities conduct an in-depth investigation, they will find that we have been in contact with the townspeople of Dudder and will worry that we are also at risk of contracting madness. By then, we will not be able to pass the test." Lumian sounded a little annoyed, as if he was recalling the time when he and his sister were trapped in Cordu Village after something unusual happened there, and everything they did was problematic. He laughed and said: "Then investigate the source of the madness yourself and blow it to pieces! "This will completely solve the problem without attracting official attention!" At this time, the little boy Ludwig, who had eaten so much supper, swallowed the fried potato cake in his mouth and said calmly: “After informing the authorities of your madness, why do you still have to stay here and wait for them to investigate? "Can't you just leave, change your identity, and take another steam train to another port?" Uh...Lumian was stunned. Such a simple idea, why didn’t I think of it? Just now, Lugano and I were getting more and more obsessed with the discussion, and we were just looking for reasons and excuses to go to Dadel Town to investigate the source of the madness... Thinking of this, Lumian was shocked. He stared at Lugano with an air of indifference, observing the fortune of this "doctor". The other party's fortune in the future will also be somewhat bleak! Lumian smiled and said to Lugano: "You may also be insane." Lugano was stunned at first, then his face turned pale and he asked: "Really?" “You can take this as a joke.” Lumian tilted his head and looked quite relaxed. He said to Ludwig, “See, reading and studying more do have many benefits. You couldn’t think of this before. You only knew how to eat.” Ludwig ignored the "hunter" and put a piece of mutton into his mouth with a fork. "What should I do, what should I do..." Lugano muttered to himself while trying to use the "Doctor" ability on himself to see if he could save himself. Lumian interrupted him: "Don't worry, there's just a risk of getting sick. Just leave here before you're actually infected."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the box. "Where are you going?" Lugano blurted out. Lumian put his hands in his pockets and smiled back: "Go tell the authorities about the madness." Lugano didn't know what words or expressions to respond with for a moment, and could only stare blankly at Lumian walking out of the box. After Lumian arrived at the bathroom of this train, he locked the door and directly opened the black mark representing "spiritual travel". His figure disappeared quickly and appeared in Apartment 9 at 702 Orosei Street in the Memorial Hall district of Trier. At this time, both Franka and Janna were still awake. One was reading a novel, and the other was thinking about what knowledge to feed Xia Zuotu. "You, why are you back?" Franca was startled. She had the illusion that she had just sent the boy to school in the morning, and in the afternoon she found him at home with his legs crossed, eating snacks and watching TV. Lumian glanced at Franca and said with a smile: "I encountered an extraordinary incident and wanted to tell the authorities through your channels so that they can solve it." "Another extraordinary event? Some kind of occult disaster detector!" Franka exclaimed in surprise and amusement. Janna looked at Lumian and suddenly felt that it was a good thing for this guy to leave Trier. “I don’t want to either.” Lumian spread his hands very sincerely. Franka exhaled and said: "Where and what kind of event?" "In the town of Dadel in the Fosse region of Haut-Maritime..." Lumian gave a brief account of the situation. Franca and Janna were both surprised and frightened to hear about the contagious madness. At the same time, Franka muttered in her heart: I wonder how “007” will react to this “surprise”… He always told me to get out of the market area. If he really gets out of the market area, he will find that not only will the supernatural cases in other districts of Trier pile up in his hands, but the occult disasters in other provinces of Intis will also rush towards him... Oh yes, what does it have to do with me? It’s all Lumian’s problem! Fortunately, this guy is going to the Feynaport Kingdom, so if there are any other extraordinary events, "007" won't be bothered. We can't have cross-border collaboration... After talking about the situation in Dadel Town, Lumian did not stop and directly "teleported" back to the bathroom in the business car of the steam train. He turned on the faucet and washed his hands calmly before walking out of the bathroom and returning to the small box. He said to Lugano: "The authorities will respond soon and we are ready to leave." Lugano stood up suddenly.
At this moment, the unconscious Pierre slowly woke up and shook off the bartender who was on top of him onto the platform. Lumian looked at him and said with a smile: "We will stay and investigate the source of the madness. Can you tell me who the original patient was?" "Who is it..." Pierre did not lose his mind like before and attack Lumian and others. Instead, he fell into deep thought strangely. (End of this chapter)
