Chapter 47 The Fake Moon Incident and the Pathological Stage

When Captain Edmund confirmed the selection result,
The supervisor sitting on the side showed a gratified expression, as if guessing that they would make such a choice.

"The information about the "False Moon Incident" is classified as a confidential document, and it is stored in the archive room on the middle level... The information you can see is only the part related to the mission, and has undergone some processing and modification.

Remember two points,

1. Once you have read the file, you cannot give up the mission.If you fail to complete the task on time, you will be severely demerited and subjected to memory cleansing.

2. If it is found that you have intentionally leaked information about the fake month event, those who are serious will be expelled from the organization and expelled from Zion.

If you confirm that there is no problem, come with me. "

"Ah."

Now that the team has reached an agreement, there is nothing to hesitate.

The supervisor led everyone into the empty counter,

After simple identity verification, take the staff-only elevator to the middle area of ​​the [Gentleman's Hall], where relevant tasks are specially provided for high-level gentlemen who break through the limit.
Different from the open counter form on the ground floor,

The middle area has a high degree of privacy, and there are a large number of private rooms for task reception.
Every high-level gentleman who comes here will receive "one-on-one" professional reception.

The four members of the team were also taken to a private room by the supervisor.
After a while

A sealed document bag with the G&D wax stamp was sent over, and the supervisor personally lifted the seal on the surface.

At the same time, he took out a delicate small hourglass from his sleeve.

"10 minutes of reading time, hurry up."

"False Moon Event*"

On ██/██, 371, as the indirect jurisdiction of the organization [Vener City], when the local investigators and the Twilight Clinic did not report any abnormalities, a 'false moon event' occurred at ██:██ that night .

The dark night sky that should have been shrouded in mist became extremely clear,
Two identical full moons hang in the sky,

Such a rare sight immediately attracted the attention of city dwellers,
Even though the local gentleman investigators sounded the alarm in the city at the first time, they still failed to prevent the incident from happening.

According to the simulation conducted afterwards, more than 2% of the residents witnessed the 'false moon' with their own eyes only 60 minutes after the moon appeared and the alarm was issued.

During the next hour,
Residents in the urban areas who have looked directly at the false moon have "moon marks" on their necks, and at the same time they have early symptoms of infection, and they have begun to attack non-infected residents in the urban area indiscriminately.

As soon as the incident happened, the head of the Twilight Clinic, Dr. McCoff, immediately brought the clinic staff along with the local investigators and gentlemen to suppress it.

During the cleaning process,
With the help of the hidden means* (confidential) buried by Dr. Mycroft, the root cause of the "false moon incident" was successfully found out. A special patient with excellent camouflage ability mixed among the residents.

At this time, he has already [open source], the name of the disease - Moonscar (Moonscar).

Although the open source patient was successfully drawn out, the beheading was finally completed.

But we also paid a terrible price. Almost all the local investigators were killed in battle. Dr. McCoff was crippled with half of his body and was in a deep coma. So far, his life is not out of danger.

The reinforcements that came later cleaned up every corner of Vinal City, and the entire city was reduced to ruins.

……

When you finish browsing,
Edmund's cheeks also dripped with cold sweat,

"Open source patient? Dr. Mycroft was seriously injured and comatose, and the local investigators were almost wiped out. This..."

Yi Chen also frowned, staring at the keyword [open source] in the document.

Reminds him of two months of pathology class.

Teacher Zede brought a course that interested Yi Chen very much-"Stage Overview of Living Pathogens", which roughly explained the stages of sexual transformation that living organisms infected by pathology will go through, and the gains that can be gained in subsequent growth. dangerous form.

≮In vivo lesion≯
Here we take [human] as an example, other mammals are not much different.The more non-mammalian animals are different from humans, the greater the difference in lesions.

[disease stage]:
early stage of infection
According to their characteristics, different pathogens can be divided into two categories according to the way they transform the human body:
1. "Physical degeneration"

2. "Psychopathy"

Individuals at the initial stage of infection do not have, or have very few pathological characteristics, are often not aggressive, and are easy to remove.

They usually choose to camouflage, hide, and spend this stage in the shadows of unknown corners,

When the pathogens have completely taken root in them and formed a "pathogenic structure" with distinctive characteristics, the individual can be called a "sick person".

patient,
Have a healthy awareness and see yourself as part of the 'disease'.

Possesses threatening diseased features, it will instinctively invade and infect the normal life that has not been diseased around it.

The innkeeper and his sister encountered in Green Lake Town are exactly such patients, but their self-control is extremely strong, and they are close to "patient zero".

[disease period]

The patient meets one or more conditions, such as:

survive long enough,

Infect a certain number of living beings,

Take the essence of other sick people,

and many more,

Will officially enter the lesion period.

The 'pathogenic structure' at this stage will be combined with the patient at a deeper level, completely becoming a part of the body structure, and will no longer be as conspicuous as pustules and rashes.

Instead, it will be disguised as a certain organ or tissue, or it will be fused into the flesh, which is difficult to find (weaknesses are hidden).

Simultaneously,

The pathological characteristics of the individual will be greatly enhanced,

There may also be fundamental changes in body structure, such as:

Grow unconventional giant arms,
Divided into wings for flight,

An additional second brain that can be used to store mental energy, coordinate calculations, and so on.

Individuals who have passed this stage perfectly are collectively referred to as [severely ill].

It is almost impossible for a gentleman who is a "human" to kill a seriously ill person by himself. Even if the team encounters it, there is still a greater risk.

[Open source period*]

Teacher Zede didn't intend to continue talking about this pathological stage, because the newcomer gentleman, under the guidance of the organization, gave tasks of appropriate difficulty, and basically would not come into contact with this kind of existence.

Even if you do come into contact with it, the only ending is death.

but,

Because of Yi Chen's arrival, he was in a good mood that day, so he satisfied everyone's curiosity and explained some brief concepts.

A very small number of patients can "perfectly fuse" with their own pathogenic structure - a fusion that touches the soul level.

Once reached,
The sick will touch the ≮Disease of Origin≯ that originated in the distant old world, and the individual will undergo a "qualitative" change,

Their bodies will take on some 'old world features' that are far beyond reality,
The strength will be far above the sick,
Regular pathogen weaknesses no longer exist,

Instead, a tube-shaped structure similar to a 'blood bar' is suspended above the head, symbolizing the "origin disease" they belong to, representing their total life.

This kind of existence often hides this feature, and it must be proficient in the old living script to spy on it.

It is called [open source] uniformly.

It is necessary to use specific beheading methods to consume his 'blood volume'.

Only when the liquid between the tubular structures is completely exhausted, can this kind of existence be truly harmed.
