Sunshine Grand Hospital
Even with the Sick One sample Yi Chen had captured alive and brought back, there were still problems with the analysis. They could not determine what kind of Pathogen it was, nor even identify the type of disease.
They still referred to the source of the disease as the "Death Factor."
All they knew was that this unknown Pathogen, which took the form of a Black Liquid, was equivalent to a kind of "connecting medium." It could connect and beautify various dead things, recreating the appearance and memories of suicide victims while they were alive without needing their corpses, making the fake indistinguishable from the real.
They came to another terrifying hypothesis as well:
If all of Lewenholm's residents died, the entire city would be replaced by these dead people.
Sunshine Hospital immediately contacted all the temporary morgues storing corpses,
asking the gentlemen to compile the dead people's appearances and addresses that night. The next day, they would specifically investigate the homes of the dead, attempting to capture more dead Sick Ones.
In addition,
Old Mr. Hervoye had also made further breakthroughs in the autopsy.
Based on the Sick One Yi Chen had brought back, they analyzed samples of the Black Liquid that possessed the ability to connect things.
They soon discovered that this Black Liquid only remained liquid and performed its function as a "connecting medium" when attached to an animal corpse.
Once the thing it was attached to was removed, the Black Liquid immediately evaporated into a gas, losing its color and becoming completely transparent, making it difficult to detect with the naked eye.
As he watched the liquid rapidly turn into gas, a flash of insight passed through Hervoye's mind.
"Lotsen, come with me. I think I know how this gas is produced!"
