Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 35: Rituals and microorganisms

   "The Baroness Vampire?" Inspector Hans thought for a while and said, "Do you mean that horror story that circulates in the western part of the Old World?"

   "No, it's not that. Of course, there is a connection between them." Lawrence paused, and then slowly said what he remembered from the pile of books in his adoptive father's collection.

   Whether it is from the point of view of the heart or from the point of interest, he hopes that the police can quickly get rid of this evil stuff. So he shared all the information he knew about the scene before him with Sergeant Hans. "This is actually a simple way of praying born out of a shaman sacrifice, used to pray for one's health."

"In the beginning, the participants only need to put some red rose petals around themselves. Then they pray silently. It is extremely unlikely that these people will get the blessings of some natural spirits and make their bodies better. Be healthy."

   "However, some people twisted this method later. They chose to use blood and life as sacrifices. Communication with the filthy existence in the lower space used to increase their lives."

"And this evil sacrificial ritual was given the name Vampire Baroness because it was related to blood and life. When the White Eagle Federation was not established two or three hundred years ago, the New World used to be very popular for some time. Evil magic. Especially the slave owners who run plantations in the south. But with the establishment of the White Eagle Federation and the establishment of order on this land, this evil magic is under the blow of major churches and demon hunters. Slowly disappeared in this land."

   "On the other hand, the evil existences in the lower space are not merciful people. After the blood sacrifice, they can indeed restore life with their power, even if the person is dying. But as long as the person who is exposed to this kind of sacrifice will inevitably pay a painful price"

"A person who uses this kind of magic will continue to need more flesh and blood to maintain his half of his cursed life in the future, until his soul falls into the lower space. In addition, his body also Will gradually be demonized, and finally filled with an evil soul."

   "According to the records I saw before, because this magic is too evil and too easy to be discovered. At the same time, it also has very serious sequelae, so it was quickly lost after the White Eagle Federation decided to strike."

   "Are you sure you are lost?" Inspector Hans frowned.

   "At least it is said in the records of the Church of Knowledge. The closest blood sacrifice was discovered more than 70 years ago." Lawrence recalled the information he had read and said. When he took over this body before, he found that he could recall all the materials he had read in two lifetimes. Among them are the archives on this kind of sacrifice.

   "Are the records of the Church of Knowledge? That's more reliable." Sheriff Hans nodded. He had known from his youngest son that Lawrence grew up in the Church of Knowledge, so he trusted the information that Lawrence had brought out.

After writing some words in the notebook to complete the previous record, Sergeant Hans put away the notebook and stood up, and then he said to Lawrence: "By the way, if you have time tomorrow, come to my house for dinner. Actually before After becoming a police officer, Edward invited his friends to party together, but obviously you did not receive the invitation. He was still a little frustrated because of this."

   "That's because I had something to deal with in the Church of Knowledge a while ago. It was a bit dangerous, so in order to avoid getting involved with my friends, I chose to move away from my original residence."

   "What's the matter?" Frank showed a concerned expression. "Do you still need my help? You know I have met some very good people after working in the police station here for so many years."

   "This matter is related to the last time I and Edward were attacked. This involved a conspiracy. Fortunately, the problem was completely solved by the cooperation of the Church of Dawn, Holy Light Church and the Demon Hunter."

   "That's good." Frank exhaled in relief. "At that time, I sent someone to investigate, but I didn't find out anything. The investigator also encountered some strange things.

"Later I told this to the demon hunter who cooperated with our police department the most. As a result, the demon hunter brother and sister were injured because of this incident. Fortunately, they specially asked someone to send us a message and tell us what happened. And resolved."

   The next two people exchanged greetings and waved goodbye. Lawrence also promised to visit him at dinner tomorrow.

   After leaving the scene of the crime, Lawrence visited Dr. Liszt as planned. Because Liszt was not involved in the previous conspiracy, he left the construction site the next day and returned to his clinic to continue working.

   When he walked into Liszt’s room under the guidance of a nurse, he found that Liszt’s hair was messy and his face had thick dark circles, but he was in a very excited state.

"Quickly, look at my records." As soon as Lawrence entered the door of the laboratory, Liszt gave him a thick notebook, and when he started to look through the records on the notebook, Liszt chatted beside him endlessly. At the beginning, he told about his experience in the past few days.

"This is simply a miracle. I disinfected the room with carbolic acid, autoclaved the surgical equipment and bedding, and disinfected myself with alcohol according to the method you said before. As a result, none of the patients I had surgery on these days appeared before Serious infection."

   "This is amazing!" Lawrence showed a happy expression. Using his knowledge to save innocent lives is something that makes him very happy. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, let alone this paper will bring him a lot of tangible and intangible benefits.

   "Yes, it's great." Liszt also smiled, but soon the corners of his mouth fell again. "The problem is that I found a very big hole in our paper."

   "What is the loophole?" Lawrence asked puzzledly. "Can't our practice explain our theory?"

   "Practice can explain the importance of disinfection, but we have no evidence for the so-called pathogenic microorganism conjecture." Liszt opened his hands and showed a helpless expression. "Because I can't find the pathogenic microorganisms."

   "This shouldn't be." Hearing what he said, Lawrence also frowned, "I see you clearly have a microscope here. As a doctor, you should be able to find those infected with wounds and take samples."

   "Of course I took a sample." Liszt took Lawrence to the side of the microscope, and then took out a petri dish. "I can confirm that there are infectious microorganisms in this petri dish, and I have done experiments with a few rabbits, but I still can't see them."

"Let me see." Lawrence put his eyes close to the microscope eyepiece and looked at the glass slide just made. At this time, the microscope was almost the same as the one that Lawrence had seen in the past, especially this one by Liszt. In the production, the participation of extraordinary people can magnify 1500 times, and theoretically the microorganisms that cause infection can be seen.

   "This is—" After placing the petri dish under the objective lens, Lawrence finally found something wrong: the deviation of these microorganisms from the surrounding environment was so small that they were invisible to the naked eye even through a microscope.

   "I think we should find a way to dye it." Recalling the photos of bacteria he had seen in his previous life, Lawrence offered his own suggestions.
