Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1295 1267. The action begins

"Using pills that look like the small pills of the Good Golden Cup Church to spread the plague and cover up the traces, and then gain influence through the chaotic situation?"

Mentos speculated.

Lan En didn't comment on this, but in his heart he basically agreed with it about 60% to 70%.

The smell in these pills is very subtle. Even the witcher's extraordinary senses can only smell the unusual smell after the pills are stepped on and cracked.

The hunters of Yharnam could sense through smell that the blood in Lan's body was very simple and had no external injections.

But their sensitivity is limited to blood, and the rest is not outstanding.

The messy rooms caused a lot of trouble for the search. Lan En spent several hours searching several houses in the alley.

Sure enough, several small triangles of oil paper were found, containing abnormal small pills.

He collected samples from them one by one, and only turned and left after confirming that there was nothing more to be discovered in this place.

In the deep and eerie night of Yharnam, he returned to the house where Mark had already moved out, and used [Meditation] to quickly replenish his mental consumption for the day.

Then, early the next morning, he returned to the research hall in the same manner as yesterday and completed his work as a hunter.

No one else in the research hall noticed anything different about Lan.

But on the streets outside Yharnam, when there were not many people in the early morning, Lan En had already seen a large group of people leaving.

Even though those people were standing far away, one could still smell the blood, and they didn't make any noise the entire time.

Even their horses were silent, as if everything was going on in silence.

These should be the people who participated in the big hunt.

Lan En just took a look from a distance as he passed by, but he didn't see Simon.

But this is normal, Simon's main investigation direction is here, but he has the magical [Blue Elixir] in his hand, which can avoid being discovered.

In fact, Lan En felt that he would really need this thing for his future actions, but considering that most of the special items in Yharnam were produced by the Healing Church or were related to the Healing Church.

And the Healing Church is such a shitty thing that even though Lan En is a demon hunter, he doesn't dare to pour this stuff into his mouth like Simon did.

His body is very pure.

When Lan walked on the wooden floor back to his workplace after a night's work, he saw Adeline walking Maria down the spiral staircase and out.

When Maria saw the witcher coming in, she nodded to him calmly.

"Ah, Lan, you're here?" Adeline, who was still following Maria, greeted him with a smile. "Maria is going to participate in a hunting trip. I was just worried about what to do if there are no hunters in the research hall!"

"Really?" Lan En raised his eyebrows and looked at Maria. "The church has summoned so many hunters this time, and they are even going to take those from the research hall?"

Maria said calmly: "This was agreed upon long ago, and I have already made preparations."

She adjusted her windbreaker and one-shoulder cape and turned to give instructions to Adeline.

"If everything goes well, we may spend more time on the road than hunting. We will be back in two days at the latest. Nothing should go wrong in this little time, right?"

Although Maria didn't turn around when she said the second half of the sentence, Lan En still waved his hand.

"Of course no problem, I know you are reminding me."

"It better be this way."

Maria spoke indifferently, and finally just held up her tricorn hat with swan feathers, turned around and left the research hall, walking outside.

In front of the door of the research hall, Lan and Adeline watched each other's backs disappear into the winding road before closing the door with a creaking sound.

This place turned into a dim research hall filled with strange smell of medicine and faint wailing.

"The veteran hunters are going to hunt," Lan said softly, lowering his hand from the closed door. "I, the new hunter, will be busy."

"It's only two days." Adeline didn't hear the hidden meaning at all. She just comforted the hunter as usual. "Or do you need help?"

Lan En waved his hand gently: "No, let me handle this matter alone."

After saying that, the demon hunter walked towards the depths of the research hall. His decisive and firm steps did not seem like a new hunter who had only taken a quick tour of this complex building yesterday.

Adeline was a little confused. She didn't know why she felt this way.

Clearly, yesterday it was Lan En or Maria who led the way.

But just when Adeline's sincere heart prompted her to step forward and care about Lan.

"Adeline."

A calm and cold voice suddenly called out to the Blood Saint.

Adeline turned her head and saw a clergyman in a white robe standing at the door of a room on the first floor that was usually locked, with only half of his body visible behind the half-open door.

Behind the dimly lit door, the clergy looked at the Blood Saint with strange eyes. "That hunter, Ms. Maria, is she gone?"

There was a cautious tentativeness in his tone.

"Yes." Adeline responded as a matter of course. "Do you need the help of a hunter? I can find one for you."

Adeline wanted to ask Lan to come over, but the white-robed clergyman interrupted her.

"No, no, no. No need for a hunter."

After getting Adeline's answer, the clergyman looked at Adeline with even more wonder in his eyes.

At the same time, a stiff smile appeared on the originally rigid face.

"It's you I need."

"Me? You mean you need my help?" Adeline was even a little flattered. She always thought that scholars and hunters were very powerful.

"Yes, you." The clergyman nodded affirmatively, "Remember the experiment I told you about that required your cooperation? Now is the time."

"Come. Come and help me, Adeline."

While whispering in a dreamlike voice, the clergyman completely opened the door that was usually locked.

Most of his white robe was immersed in thick darkness, including half of his face.

And Adeline, in a state of flattery and surprise, walked inside somewhat helplessly.
-
Lann didn't waste any time today navigating the complex pathways of the research hall.

Mentos had completed the map entry yesterday, and the two of them worked out a course of action together.

Even when Lan En spent a few hours meditating yesterday, it used its computing power to analyze the spiral staircase in the research hall.

Lan En didn't have much knowledge of architecture, but after taking a tour of the research hall yesterday, he had enough knowledge to get to know the building.

So according to Mentos' analysis, the lifting switch of the huge pillar on which this spiral staircase is attached is most likely at the top of the pillar.

Lan En couldn't understand the architectural concepts of the Yharnam people, he just felt greatly shocked.

But on the other hand, since he has realized the urgency of time and is going to take action today, there is no need to be overly cautious.

With his mobility, he didn't even need stairs to climb over the floors in the research hall.

The demon hunter did not stop and stood in front of the door of a locked room on the third floor.

Maria had just told him yesterday the only requirement for working in the research hall, but today, he was ready to completely ignore it.

The third floor is where there are very few clergy.

Lan En reached out and pushed the door, but the thick wooden door with frosted glass remained motionless.

The demon hunter's movements did not pause at all.

He reached out from the armor's belt and pulled out his dagger.

The blade of [Demon Wolf's Fang] flashed with a dim blue reflection.

The blade stabbed into the gap in the door slightly higher than the door lock, and then slashed downwards. With almost no obstruction or movement, the dagger had cut through the door lock structure.

Lan En pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Everything went smoothly and smoothly.

After entering, the dim kerosene lamp was still providing lighting, and the strange smell of medicine and the blood of gray blood patients in the air became stronger.

Unsurprisingly, it was a laboratory.

Inside are many instruments used by the clergy of the Healing Church for research, including microscopes and various organ samples soaked in formalin.

The medical research equipment here, in terms of scientific and technological level alone, has basically reached the level of the 18th century in Lan's hometown.

It completely surpasses the Victorian look of the city at this time.

Not only that, Yharnam's equipment must also have a certain level of attainment in mysticism.

And surprisingly.
The first sight of Lan En as he entered the door made him frown.

Because he didn't expect that the laboratory on the third floor of the research hall would be so bloody.

Except for a few protected areas, blood splashed out from the experimental subjects unscrupulously.

The experimental subjects were undoubtedly those gray-blood patients wearing hospital gowns and with sacks on their heads.

They were tied to iron beds, and more patients were piled on the ground like used garbage.

Their flesh and blood soaked into each other, and their limp limbs were twisted into all kinds of weird angles in the pile.
