Amidst the barking of dogs echoing in the town at night, Lumian laughed:

"Daddel has so many dogs?"

"Yes, yes." The middle-aged man soliciting customers said with a forced smile.

Sure enough, there is something wrong... Is something going wrong in this town? Lumian just asked this deliberately to observe the reaction of the residents of the opposite town.

Amidst the constant barking of dogs, he concentrated on looking at the other party's Fortune.

He had no intention of leaving the Steam train and entering Daddel to investigate. He could only spy on the situation from the Fortune of the residents of the town, lest the Concealment problem here suddenly broke out and spread to the train station, but he could not even guess what to guard against.

Although observing Fortune will be affected by Termiboros and may be misled, under the current circumstances, Lumian, who neither understands Divination nor Prophecy, wants to obtain certain information without leaving the Steam train for on-the-spot investigation. There are not many options, and this is one of them.

Combined with various environmental details, we should be able to identify some problems.

In Lumian's sight, the middle-aged man Fortune That One soliciting customers showed a pale green color.

This means that he will suffer from a disease for a period of time in Future, a very special kind of disease.

As for how long it will take and what kind of disease it will be, we still can't tell based on Lumian's current Sequence.

Dog barking causes fear...Future will get special diseases...Daddel Wild dogs are causing trouble, often bite people, and spread diseases? This is an explanation, and it does not belong to Paranormal Event... But there is a way to solve this. The reaction of the guy outside seemed a bit Despair... Lumian said to the middle-aged man soliciting customers without any abnormality, "Can you bring the food you ordered?"

"Only if the meal cost exceeds two Felkine. You know, it's not easy for us to get into the platform." The middle-aged man soliciting customers smiled again.

At this time, the roaring of dozens of dogs was not as intense as before.

"No problem." Lumian ordered food such as apple Liqueur, fried potato pancakes, river shrimps in sauce, Daddel Meat Sauce, stewed pork, salt marsh lamb, butter pancakes, rush cheese and other foods, which cost a full 10 Felkine.

Every time he named a dish, Ludwig swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Four hours ago, the flight attendant delivered a fixed dinner for four people. The little boy finished two portions by himself. He was still not satisfied, and was obviously not full. He also took out many pieces of dried meat from Lumian's "Traveler's Bag".

Two hours ago, he had his first late-night snack consisting of cheese, desserts, Bread, dried meat, etc.

Now, he is hungry again.

The middle-aged man who used simple words and symbols Recording to name the dishes couldn't help but ask, "The food provided in this class of carriages is also terrible?"

Otherwise, why do you look like you haven't had dinner?

Lumian followed his words and said, "Yes, you should never expect to eat such delicious food on the Steam train."

After remembering the name of the dish and accepting the prepaid 5 Felkine Banknotes, the middle-aged man with a slightly hooked chin walked to another box.

"Wait a minute." Lumian suddenly called him.

"Is there anything else, sir?" the middle-aged man turned around and asked.

Lumian smiled and said, "You don't look well. If you don't want to get sick, Future needs more rest for a few days."

The middle-aged man froze on the spot, his expression as if he had been struck by lightning.

After a brief moment of freezing, he could not help but reveal an expression of panic and fear.

"Okay, okay, thank you." He turned around in a hurry and rushed outside the platform, forgetting to solicit other customers.

Daddel's abnormality is indeed related to the disease...Lumian looked back thoughtfully.

Lugano asked curiously, "Why didn't I see that he was in a sub-healthy state and could get sick at any time?"

He is "Doctor" and has corresponding abilities. Even if he doesn't activate "Spirit Vision", he can also learn from the many external manifestations of the target's body.

After seeing the hidden disease and Lumian alerted the other party, he also deliberately opened "Spirit Vision" to observe Ether Body's condition.

--Sub-healthy state is said to be a word invented by Emperor Roselle, but it was not until recent years that it became a popular term in Intis's medical community.

Although he is not in a sub-healthy state, he is very likely to suffer from special diseases...Lumian used Lugano's question to confirm that the disease of the citizen That One just now should not come from himself.

He smiled and answered Lugano's question:

"It's always right to care about other people's health and let them get more rest."

Lugano instinctively showed an expression of "I don't believe this explanation", and immediately covered this expression with a smile:

"He seemed worried about that, too."

"Yes." Lumian replied perfunctorily.

Daddel's dog barking sometimes subsided, sometimes sounded, sometimes just outside the platform, sometimes as far away as the edge of the town. Lumian listened quietly and sighed in his heart, "Why did something happen again?"

"Did I bring Calamity, or did Calamity lure me here?

"It seems that the problem with Daddel has existed for a while and has nothing to do with my arrival... It seems that no matter how I escape or make choices by borrowing the hands of others, I will always be attracted to Calamity and get closer unknowingly...

"Is this the abnormal experience that 'Hunter' who has Angel-Level and 'Blood Emperor' Residual Aura will inevitably encounter even though his Sequence is not high?

"Will there be a novelist in the future who writes about my experience like he wrote about Gehrman Sparrow, and then adds that he is always with Calamity."

Time passed by, and the middle-aged man who was soliciting customers came over with a Bar Waiter and a food box containing vegetables.

"This is what you want." He and the Waiter passed the plates and wine glasses through the window.

Seeing that the table covered with exquisite tablecloths was filled with quite tempting food, Lumian took a sip of the slightly sour apple Liqueur and paid for the remaining 5 Felkine meal fee.

"We will pick up the tableware in an hour, won't we disturb your rest?" the middle-aged man soliciting customers asked politely.

Lumian nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.

After the middle-aged man took Waiter a few steps to the side, he couldn't help but return to the original position and asked, "Sir, how did you tell that I was about to get sick?"

Lumian pointed at Lugano opposite:

"My friend is Trier, the famous Doctor."

This name refers to the name on the wanted poster.

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to respond, he asked casually, "What do you call me?"

"Just call me Pierre." The middle-aged man bent his back and looked at Lumian who was sitting in the small compartment of the Steam train.

You guys here also like this name? Lumian smiled and said, "You also think you will get sick?"

Pierre's eyelids twitched, and his expression became a little frozen again.

He subconsciously replied, "No, no, I'm just a little worried."

"Then rest more, drink more water, and go to Church to find Clergy to confess." Lumian doesn't force the other party.

Pierre walked silently toward the front of the train, hoping to attract more business, but his feet seemed to be tied with lead weights, making every step difficult.

"Woof woof woof!"

Very close to the platform, the dog barked again.

Pierre's face twitched | he moved a few times, as if he was completely overwhelmed by the worry and fear in his heart. He turned around suddenly, threw Waiter away, and ran out of the window of the small box where Lumian and others were.

"Help me, Doctor help me!" He pressed his hands on the glass and shouted with a Distortion expression.

"If you don't tell us the cause of the disease, my friends won't be able to help you treat it." Lumian was waiting for this opportunity.

Passengers in the front and rear compartments heard some movement, but had already fallen asleep and were too lazy to get up to confirm the situation.

Pierre swallowed his saliva and glanced at Bar Waiter who was also scared:

"Yes, yes..."

Before he finished speaking, a figure appeared on the platform wall.

The figure stood with his feet spread apart, his body arched, but his head raised, looking ahead.

This is a Men, wearing woolen clothes with obvious signs of tearing. The muscles on his face are extremely Distortion. His eyes are turned up, and it seems that only a white patch is left.

His chin was covered with saliva, and he opened his mouth and made a sound:

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

This is exactly the same as the barking of dogs in other places in Daddel, and they are connected together.

"It's Mad Sickness!" Pierre finally shouted.

"Mad Sickness?" Lumian looked away from the barking man on the wall and looked at Lugano.

Lugano Eyes stared at the abnormal person deeply for a few seconds, then slowly shook his head at Lumian.

What he meant was that this was no ordinary rabies.

Pierre thought Lumian was asking him, and almost collapsed and said, "Yes, Mad Sickness!"

"I don't know when this kind of barking dog Madman started to appear in our town. At first there was only one, then two, three, ten... many people I know were infected and went completely crazy. They only bark like dogs and are most active every night!"

"Did you become infected because you were bitten by Madman?" Lugano asked with a frown.

"No, none of the people I know have been bitten, but they are still crazy! Me, I feel like I am getting closer!" Pierre said with a Despair look on his face.

"You didn't go to the government?" Lumian felt that Official Beyonder would not let this situation spread.

"We heard that there was a similar Mad Sickness in a village before. We reported it to the government, and then the whole village disappeared. We, we didn't dare to go to the government, we didn't dare to find Church!" Pierre said a little hysterically, and Bar Waiter next to him also had a face full of fear.

Lumian narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Where are the people from the town's health department, Police Station? Where are Priest from Church?"

"They were the first ones to go crazy." Pierre was in a state of stress and did not think about the purpose of Lumian's question.

Priest, Police and the people from the Department of Health were killed as early as possible...Lumian raised his eyebrows and said, "Then why don't you escape from Dadel?"

"Escape..." Pierre and the Bar Waiter were stunned at the same time, looking at Lumian blankly.

Crimson Moonlight Under the eyes, there seemed to be a lot of bloodshot eyes hidden in the whites of their eyes.
