Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 191 Becoming a Monster
".May I ask what is your relationship with the patient?"

"Friend." Illya replied uneasily.

"Friends can also register, relax, we are not Agadi Hospital here, we need some kind of guardian or relative." The elderly nurse behind the counter joked.

"Originally, you still need to pay a hospital deposit. But I saw that the association has already paid it on your behalf, so it's fine." The head nurse smiled at Ilya easily, and the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth showed a trace of comfort.

"Okay, thank you." Ilya thanked decently, then turned and sat back beside Ahao.

"Is everything going well?" Ahao, who was frowning and thinking, looked at Ilya beside him.

"Successful. Fortunately, they didn't ask Shirley's family information, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to answer."

"Isn't Shirley your good girlfriend? I thought you knew everything about her quite well."

"No." Illya shook her head, "I only know that Shirley is not from Agadi, but from a foreign country. But she never told me about her family situation."

"How did you and Shirley meet?"

Yi Liya seems to be caught in the memory: "I attended a club party that day, [Don't Make a Vase Mutual Aid Group], and Shirley was there at the time. We got along very well, chatting, shopping together, and going back and forth. Slowly we became good friends."

"Not a vase mutual aid group?"

"Ah, this is..." Ilya realized that she had inadvertently revealed something important, and her face turned red.

"It's just a small party. Let's not talk about it, what happened to Shirley? Can she get better?" Ilya's voice showed a trace of real confusion amidst the tension.

"It's okay, it will get better. I already have some ideas about this matter. The key to solving the problem should be those mutant creatures."

"Mutated creature?"

"Yes." Ahao nodded, "What happened to Shirley should be the same as what happened to mutant creatures. As long as you understand how this process happened, you can always find a way to reverse it."

Ah Hao puffed up at Ilya: "So let Shirley let the doctor take care of her temporarily, we can find a way to cure her together."

"Hmm!" Illya nodded her head heavily, her silver hair fluttering in the air.

"By the way, where is the doctor who came with you?"

"Morris, he said that he went to find a familiar doctor to find out the situation. I don't know whether this guy is really enthusiastic or too curious."

Ah Hao got up and looked around.

In the direction of the end of the hospital corridor, he happened to see Morris coming out of a corner.The look on his face was shocked and sated.

"Ahao, Ilya, come quickly, I discovered a secret."

Morris did not know where to find a white coat, and now he looks exactly like a doctor in this hospital.

"what happened?"

"Later, let's talk about it in another place." Morris made a silent expression, and led the two through many corridors and stairs to a garden.

In the small garden in the atrium of the hospital, two or three patients in hospital gowns were walking slowly.

"Did you see that group of people?"

Following Morris' guidance, Ah Hao saw a group of people gathered together.They were mostly women, and they didn't wear hospital gowns.

"I see, what's the matter?" Ilya looked at Morris in wonder.

"I sneaked in to find out the situation just now. I found out that they are all family members of those mutated patients!"

Morris's words attracted the attention of both of them.When Shirley was sent to the ward, the three of them more or less saw the conditions of those patients.Compared with those patients, Shirley's condition is actually quite good, at least there is no large-scale tissue variation.

"What are they talking about?"

"It's basically the family members of the patients huddled together to keep warm and communicate about their condition. But there is one thing worth paying attention to. I heard that some patients with symptoms did not show up at the scene yesterday, nor did they see the eye tentacles."

Ah Hao's eyes lit up instantly: "Then what's going on with them? Have you inquired about the situation?"

"I made an appointment with a lady named Wheeler, and she said she could share the experience, but you had to show up."

"Me?" Ahao pointed to himself in confusion.

Morris chuckled, "Didn't you tell me that you are now a member of the Special Operations Department? She quite believes in this title. You just need to show your ID card."

"What about me?" Elijah asked a little helplessly.

"Just say you're Ahao's assistant, and I'll give you a notebook." Morris quickly took out a set of notebooks from his pocket, and handed Illya a pair of plain glasses.

Illya, who put on glasses, showed a rather intellectual aura.

"Not bad, actually the glasses suit you quite well."

Yi Liya turned her head away in embarrassment, ignoring Ahao's teasing.

Ms. Wheeler, who was sitting on a park bench, silently handed back the silver card she was holding to Ahao.Morris stood in the distance to let the wind blow, while Ilya stood behind Ahao holding a pen and paper.

"It's it, that's right. Every time your department dispatches, you will show this card." Wheeler nodded affirmatively to Ahao.

"Just ask, I can tell you anything you want to know."

"I heard your husband didn't show up at the scene of the attack yesterday, did he?"

"No, he rested yesterday and stayed at home with me all day."

"As far as I know, the people who have this strange disease are all related to the monsters that attacked the star gate. So can you recall whether your husband has come into contact with any weird items or participated in any special operations?"

"No, nothing. My husband is just an ordinary arcane mage, walking around the arcane star gate and home every day."

"Everything was fine. But last night my husband received a notice of the star gate accident. After dinner, he went out to work overtime. It should be to repair the star gate, I don't know."

"Then things went wrong. When he came back in the early morning, he started to tremble inexplicably. I asked him and he didn't answer me. I didn't think much about it. I just thought he had caught a cold and was tired and didn't want to talk. Who Know that when I woke up this morning, I found"

Ms. Wheeler's stable voice suddenly showed a tremor: "I found that no matter how I screamed, I couldn't wake him up. When I turned on the light, I realized that the person next to me had turned into a monster! His head had turned into a monster." It turned purple, and there were several eye-like slits on the side of the cheek!!!”

When the word "monster" was said, Wheeler's emotions were on the verge of collapse.After she finished speaking, she covered her face and began to cry.

"It's okay, he's just sick and will be cured." Illya immediately bent down and comforted Ms. Wheeler.

"Repair the star gate?" Ahao chewed on the most critical part of Wheeler's words.

Repairing the stargate will also cause mutation?

After Wheeler's emotions stabilized, he continued to ask: "What about the colleagues who work overtime with your husband? Do any of them have similar symptoms?"

Wheeler wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief: "I don't know. I only had time to send my unconscious husband to the hospital, and I haven't gone to the place where he works to ask about the situation."

"Maybe you can ask other people. But, young gentleman, please find out what's going on and find a way to recover! I don't want my husband to live like a monster all his life!"

"I will try my best." Ah Hao nodded solemnly.
