Chapter 586
Margaret didn't know what medicine was sold in Edwin's gourd, or what he was doing with him at the exit, "What are you bringing me here for?" Where's that counterpart? β
Edwin pointed behind Margaret, who looked back and saw nothing, turned around and looked at him with a confused expression, "Nothing?" β
"Look closely."
Margaret turned her head again, her gaze was not limited to what was in front of her, but up and down, and at this first glance, she locked on Fuller's statue, and her face immediately showed surprise, "Do you want to tell me that this statue is the last counterpart?" β
"That's right." There was a hint of sarcasm on Edwin's lips, "I didn't think of it before, but don't you think this statue is too abrupt?" And why was the basement built underneath the statue? Isn't it weird? β
"Yes, unless this Dr. Fuller is extremely narcissistic, but as far as I know, that's not the kind of person. Therefore, the real meaning of the existence of this statue should be to guard the old seal of the iron gate below. Margaret was not stupid, and quickly thought of the mystery, but then a difficult problem was also placed in front of her, "But if such a large statue were to be destroyed, it would alarm others, right?" But if you don't destroy it, you can't open this door, do you have any good ideas? β
At least she didn't have an idea of what she did, and the one-man tall statue in front of her really stumped her.
Edwin looked at the statue and asked something inexplicable, "Do you think that if the matter retains its basic form, but the structure within it has collapsed, it has been destroyed?" β
Margaret thought for a moment, then nodded, "Of course, because the structure has collapsed, even if the form is preserved, it is not really existent. β
"That's itβ" Edwin walked up to the statue in Margaret's surprised eyes, and tapped a finger on it.
At the same time, the last and largest old seal above the iron door in the basement finally dissipated.
Margaret didn't understand what Edwin had done, but she was pulled into the basement by the latter, and then the closed iron door actually opened?
There was astonishment, surprise, and more surprise, "How did you do that?" β
Edwin shrugged, "I can't explain it for a while, why don't we go about our own business first?" β
Margaret didn't ask any more questions about his shift, but when she pushed open the iron door and walked in, a long corridor instantly appeared in front of her, and both sides of the corridor were almost full of rooms, looking like some closed prison, "This is a special ward?" It's like a prison cell! β
Edwin frowned, he didn't like a place like this, "It's clear that Fuller has imprisoned a lot of patients, and while I don't know what he's trying to do with them, I don't think it's going to be a good thing." β
"Sooner or later, we'll find out, but it's imperative to find the beeeater, but there are so many rooms, when are we going to find it?"
Margaret looked at the corridor that seemed to have no end, her face was a little ugly, she walked to the door of the first ward, and did not reach out to push the door open, not that she didn't want to push, but the old seal on the door, so that she couldn't push it at all, "There are old seals on every room here, oh my God, who has such a strong spiritual power to be able to exert so many old seals..."
"And this guy is blocking out all the voices here, to be precise, our voices don't reach their cells." Edwin voiced his speculation, not without evidence, but because the two of them had said so much and gotten no response.
Margaret was also aware of this situation, and couldn't help but wonder, "Then why are those nurses..."
"Because they can ignore these old seals, it is obvious that they have been in this hospital for so long that they have been unknowingly contaminated with the energy of these old seals, and there are also people who deliberately allow them to ignore these and do everything naturally."
Hearing this, Margaret couldn't help but smile wryly, "So you mean, we can only go and find it room by room?" And to erase the old marks on these doors? β
It's a huge project, and if you're lucky, you'll probably only need to drive a few, but if you're unlucky, you'll probably not be able to find it for a few days.
"Of course not, I'm afraid that even if you are so tired that you vomit blood, you may not be able to find someone." Edwin groaned, lost in thought, and then, after thinking of something, couldn't help asking, "You just said that these old seals cut off all sounds?" β
Margaret didn't know why Edwin was asking this, and said truthfully, "It's not all, we can't hear the voices inside, and we can't hear our voices inside." I am afraid that the only thing that can be heard is their own voice. β
"That is, only two rooms next to each other can hear each other's voices?"
"Yes, because this old seal is a bit incomplete, and its function is supposed to be to block out all sounds, that's why problems like this arise."
Hearing this, the corners of Edwin's mouth curled, "Then have you ever thought about it, since the old seal is not complete, why not try to make its shortcomings more magnified?" β
Margaret seemed to have captured something, but it was plausible, frowning, "To be more detailed, I don't understand. β
"If you look at this old seal as having three sides, one is that the inside cannot hear the outside, the other is that the outside cannot hear the inside, and the last side is that the inside can hear the inside. This last side is undoubtedly the loophole of this old seal, but the person who casts this old seal cannot improve it, and can only put the loophole on the side that minimizes the risk, that is, the side that we can't hear. β
This time, Margaret understood, and her heart couldn't help but move, "You mean, I don't need to erase the old seal on the door, but change its function?" β
Edwin nodded, "Erasing old marks should be a tiring thing for you, right?" With the erasure of the consumption of your spiritual power, there are so many old seals here, even if you completely overdraw your spiritual power, I'm afraid you can't erase them all, but if you change the old seal and only change it slightly, it shouldn't be a big problem, right? β
Margaret nodded confidently, "Of course, after all, it's still a very simple thing to modify this old seal technique slightly, it's not like those that explode at the touch of it." β
"That's fine, I'll watch it for you outside, you can rest assured that you can make changes to the old seal inside, and if someone comes, I'll tell you in advance."
Margaret nodded, and began to work on the revision of the first old seal.
Seeing this, Edwin walked out, took the iron door with his hand, and came to the location of the back garden, hiding in the grass behind the statue, as if he was watching.
It was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the bell gradually rang, most people have fallen into a deep sleep, especially in this hospital full of sick numbers, for patients, the most needed is rest, waking up is a torture and burden for them, their biggest expectation is to wake up, cured.
But it's a pity that most people can't get what they want, after all, the disease is like a mountain, the ward is like a thread, and of course there are some other reasons, and they don't bother to say what they are, most people understand.
Edwin thought to himself that at this point, unless it was the nurse on duty who needed to make rounds of the ward, no one else would come here, and it was a pity that he was wrong.
It was close to 1 a.m. when it was almost 1 a.m. when a tall, thin figure in a white coat walked slowly, looking exactly like the statue above Edwin's head, and it was almost impossible to guess his identity.
Dr. Fuller!
Faced with the sudden arrival of Dr. Fuller, Edwin seemed a little caught off guard, and couldn't help but wonder what was the purpose of his coming here so late?
But even if he was puzzled, he didn't forget to remind Margaret in the basement.
But seeing that he closed his eyes, he silently recited a sentence in his heart, and through the magic transmitted by his heart, he informed Margaret of Fuller's arrival and was still revising the old seal underground.
Margaret reacted the moment she received the message, and she immediately opened a door in front of her door and dodged in, not caring if there were other people in the room, whether it would arouse the alarm or something.
And by the time Margaret had done all this, Fuller had just opened the mechanism under the statue and was about to step inside.
At this time, Edwin suddenly realized that he and Margaret had cracked the old seal on the iron door, and if the caster was Dr. Fuller himself, wouldn't he be shocked by the problem?
With a cloudy look on his face, Edwin was hesitant to shoot directly at Fuller, using his strength to capture Fuller in the blink of an eye, but doing so would not do the slightest benefit to rescue the bee-eater and learn the secrets about the Hawkins incident, and he was not sure that he would be able to pry any useful information out of this guy's mouth.
Therefore, the best way is to rescue the bee-eating Cao Xi, so that she can use her memory reading ability to learn the secrets.
At this moment's hesitation, Fuller was already in front of the iron gate, and Edwin hurried out of the grass and arrived at great speed, but he soon found that his worries seemed to be unnecessary.
But when Nafuller took out a key and opened the iron door, he didn't seem to know that the old mark on the door was gone, or did he not know that there was an old mark on the door?
The key in his hand should be the same as Elizabeth, which has the effect of opening this iron door to prevent the explosion of the old seal, but he himself does not seem to have this awareness.
Seeing that Fuller was not the caster, Edwin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and quietly crept into stealth, following behind him to see what he was going to do.
But when he saw Nafuller walking past the doors, he looked at the house numbers as if he was hesitating about something.
After a while, he stopped in front of a door, and the number 87 was written on it, which was the 87th patient in this special ward.
He pulled out the key and unlocked it, then pushed the door in, and Edwin was lucky enough to enter the room to find out, unnoticed.
Edwin, who followed Fuller into it, saw a middle-aged woman without any obvious symptoms, she seemed to be a very ordinary village woman, and she was very excited about Dr. Fuller's arrival, "Dr. Fuller, I think my illness has been cured, are you going to let me be discharged?" You can see that I'm cured. β
Fuller was very calm about this, and calmly comforted, "Okay, I know, you are good or bad, I can see it, don't be so excited, let me take a closer look, if you are not sick, you can go with me to the discharge procedures." β
The middle-aged woman nodded impatiently, as if she trusted Fuller's words 100 percent.
Seeing this, there was a faint hint of sarcasm on the corner of Fuller's mouth, as if he was proud of the trust of the village woman, and at the same time could not help but despise the shallowness and ignorance of her knowledge. He was deliberately observant, and the careful look seemed to be really checking whether she had healed.
However, from Edwin's point of view, he saw that Fuller's eyes were clearly the hunter looking at the prey, and the scientist was looking at the experiment.
After a while, Fuller seemed to have finished looking, and the middle-aged woman asked eagerly, "How's it going, Dr. Fuller, am I cured?" β
Fuller sighed regretfully, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Winnipe, but your condition is not improving. β
The middle-aged woman became excited again, "This is impossible, I clearly feel that my illness has been cured!" β
Fuller shook his head, "It's just an illusion, in fact, the source of the disease is latent and could recur at any time." β
The middle-aged woman trusted Fuller very much, and immediately looked anxious when she heard this, "Then what should I do?" Dr. Fuller, please save me! β
"Of course, Mrs. Winnipe, it is my duty to heal the sick and save lives." Fuller assured solemnly, "I want to give you another comprehensive system check to make sure that you can prescribe the right medicine later." β
Mrs. Winnipp nodded impatiently, "Okay, please do it." β
"Then please come with me."
Edwin watched Fuller disappear into the basement with Mrs. Winnipe, and did not choose to follow him to find out, after all, this was not what he had come here for.
As Fuller left, Margaret came out of the room where she was hiding, with an ugly expression on her face.
She walked over to Edwin's side, gritted her teeth, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that Fuller guy is using these so-called special patients to conduct human experiments and research!" β
Edwin raised an eyebrow, "How so?" β
