Chapter 3731 Nursing Center
Although the puzzle pieces are not complete yet, a general ability can already be seen.
The remaining two "unknown" abilities can only be seen after unlocking the puzzle. Although there are two unknowns, it is possible that both are "empty" abilities after unlocking the puzzle.
After all, it is possible to get an empty box when drawing cards.
As for "Eye Scissor", since it has already appeared, it can be considered an ability that will definitely be acquired.
When Angel saw that the regular ability was "Eye Scissors", his expression was a little disappointed.
Because he wanted to unlock the "Fashion Cutter" mainly to remove the pages of the book later, and the ability needed to remove the pages of the book is - magic scissors.
This ability is also a regular ability and it is possible that it will appear randomly from the beginning.
But now, the regular ability that randomly appeared was "Eye Scissors", which naturally disappointed Angel.
"If I had known, I would have absorbed more of Com's goodness before coming here." Angel said silently.
With a sigh, Angel clicked on the introduction of "Mujian".
"Eye cutting: everything you see can be cut."
To put it simply, in many places that need cutting, whether it is cutting paper or cloth, you can cut just by looking.
From the perspective of a fashion magician, "Eye Scissors" is actually pretty good. Not only is it functional, but it is also a rare ability that can attack.
For example, cutting leather also falls within the scope of cutting, so using "Eye Shears" to cut other people's skin is a good damage ability.
But for Ingres, it was a bit useless.
Whether in terms of functionality or offensiveness, Ingres himself can do better than "Eye Scissors".
"Let's just cut it first and see what the remaining two unknown abilities are like." Angel sighed. At worst, he could just brush a few more manufacturing series fragments later. If there were enough fragments, he could brush some abilities then.
Without worrying about the "eye cut" anymore, Angel directly called up the "Create a series of puzzle pieces (small)" in the text bar and injected it into the magic book.
When Angel injected the fragments before, it directly showed failure.
But this time, with the basic illustration of the "Fashion Tailor", the puzzle pieces fit in easily.
I saw a flash of light.
There was originally half a blank space on the illustration, but with the injection of the fragments, the illustration immediately showed full color.
——The sky at night with stars and moon shining together was like a curtain, and an invisible cutter cut through it, cutting a hole in the sky. Behind the hole were a pair of eyes full of whirlpools.
This is the illustration for the "Fashion Cutter".
Judging from the visual expression of the illustration alone, it is more advanced than the "Variety Show Elf" and "Traffic Bat" that Ingres had obtained before.
But the "fashion cutter" is a real low-level fashion monster.
I can only say that low magic produces masterpieces.
After the illustrations were completed, the information about the fashion tailor also changed.
Not only does the current puzzle become 2/2, but there are also several more rows of text.
"Do you want to unlock the ability of this fashion tailor?"
"whether"
"Attention! Once unlocked, the page will be locked and cannot be removed in any way."
Angel looked at the familiar words, hesitated for a moment, and finally suppressed the urge to unlock the card.
He snapped his fingers lightly, and a curtain of light appeared before his eyes out of thin air.
At the same time, Kang, who was far away in the Eighth Tomb Street, suddenly felt the back of his hand getting hot.
He looked down and saw that the logo that Angel had left on the back of his hand began to turn red, and it seemed as if there was an extra heart inside, contracting and beating rapidly.
Kang Mu also received the message in his mind: "Find a deserted place and receive the call."
Kang Mu was still wandering around the Tomb Street. After all, it was his first time here and he was quite interested in the ecology here. But when Anger's news came, he immediately put away his thoughts of wandering around and quickly looked for a deserted place nearby.
Fortunately, there are a large number of empty tombs on Tomb Street. As long as you do not occupy an empty tomb without permission and go in to rest for a while, no one will say anything.
Kang found an empty tomb and, following the information in his mind, rubbed the logo on the back of his hand.
Accompanied by a burst of heat, a flash of light appeared.
A light screen appeared in front of Com's eyes, and the screen showed Angel's appearance.
There is no doubt that this is real-time communication.
……
Two minutes later, Angle hung up the call.
He contacted Kang this time, naturally to borrow Kang's fortune to draw cards.
Originally he was thinking of going to the wishing tree to perform a luck-changing ceremony, but going back and forth was too troublesome.
The wishing tree cannot be moved, but Com can.
Angel can just ask Com to come to the Fourteenth Town to find him. Then he can treat Com as a "living wishing tree". It should be fine... right?
Anyway, give it a try.
If the card you draw is not very good, the worst that can happen is that you can still go to the Wishing Tree to draw cards later.
While Come is here, Angel plans to go to the Beverly Nursing Center first.
This time, he naturally would not keep the "doctor" persona. After restoring his original skin, Angel walked to the end of the street.
The Fourteenth Town is slightly smaller than the Eighth Town. Moreover, the style here is more like... wasteland?
There are rooms made up of iron plates everywhere. From a distance, these iron plates look like iron patches on intact skin. It has a sense of ruins and an inexplicable sense of the future.
This type of tin patched house is only for ordinary people to live in. Those with a little money will still live in normal buildings.
The Beverly Nursing Center is a very normal building.
Even if the Beverly Nursing Center was moved directly to the surface, there would not be any sense of incongruity; the entire nursing center is similar to the simple Roman style, covering an area of about a quarter of a block, with a relatively square shape, and constructed with rough stones and thick wood.
The roof is sloping and covered with dark gray tiles, which have become slightly mottled due to years of erosion.
The gate of the nursing center is made of thick iron bars, surrounded by some simple decorative patterns. Although it is not gorgeous, it is full of ancient flavor.
The gate is tightly closed and will only be opened when a serious illness occurs and a medical transport vehicle is needed.
The small door next to the main door is open normally for patients to enter and exit.
Ingres walked through the small door and immediately saw the rough buildings not far away.
From the outside, this doesn't look like a nursing center, but more like an old teaching building.
As Angel walked along, he saw many patients, most of whom were mutants.
Mutants themselves are mutated due to "infection". Once they show symptoms, it is basically an immune problem, and the external manifestations are all kinds of horrible pus and terrible mold spots all over the body.
The smell of disinfectant in the air, the pus-filled skin of the mutants, and the various tentacle-shaped vines planted in the care center... this atmosphere gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.
Angel originally planned to find a chance to sneak into the underground laboratory after entering the nursing center.
However, after arriving, I found that it was not easy to step into the door of the nursing center.
Because there was a row of security personnel standing at the door.
Those mutants who are obviously sick can be allowed in directly.
However, those who look slightly healthier or whose symptoms are not too serious need to register in detail, and even go to a makeshift clinic built with tile sheds nearby for a preliminary diagnosis to confirm that they are sick before they can enter.
Such strictness made Angel feel that something was wrong with this nursing center.
When I looked at it from a bird’s eye view before, I couldn’t feel this kind of atmosphere at all; after experiencing it personally, I found that there are many things that are not in line with this place.
How do you evaluate it?
As expected, it is a nursing center with a secret underground laboratory. There must be many secrets to explore behind it.
However, this time Angel is not here to look for the dark side of the nursing center, he is only here to contact the mutant named Henrietta.
Thinking of this, Angel no longer paid attention to the strange things around him. He found an empty corner, summoned the Nightmare Node, and his figure disappeared instantly.
This time, Angel easily entered the nursing center.
There are even more mutant patients inside, with various skin diseases, and the smell of disinfectant in the air cannot suppress the stench of decay.
Walking in it is like a dance of demons.
As Angel walked towards the stairs to the basement, he spoke to Turing with his mind: "What do you think of this nursing center?"
Turing: "Opinion? Does it mean my subjective opinion?"
Angel: “…You can understand it that way.”
Turing: "I don't have any subjective opinion here. However, I find two things wrong here."
"Tell me something." Angel had been keeping Turing outside so that he could absorb external information and complete his logic. Now, although Turing's speech still had a hint of "primary wisdom", it seemed that he was better at understanding the logic of his speech than at the beginning.
"First, there are too many useless decorations here." Turing: "For example, at eight o'clock on the left, there is a cabinet filled with ceramic vases. Judging from the shape, they should be the work of a craftsman. Such decorations are completely redundant here. At four o'clock on the right, there is a tapestry hanging. And at three o'clock in front, there is a carved wall lamp with metalwork on the wall. It doesn't look like something that should be in an underground block hospital."
Angel thought thoughtfully: "You mean, these artifacts are out of place in the hospital?"
Turing: “Yes.”
Angel raised his eyebrows: "Beverly Nursing Center is a private hospital after all. It's not wrong for the owner here to want to decorate it."
Turing did not refute, but instead talked about the second thing that was wrong: "Second, the symptoms of the mutant patients here are too severe. I even saw quite a few people with secondary mutations."
"Secondary mutation?" Angel looked at Turing in surprise.
Turing: "For example, at the 5 o'clock position on the right rear, there is a mutant who originally had an extra nose, but now he has two more nostrils on the right side of his face. This is obviously a sign of another extra nose. It is considered a secondary mutation."
"The reason for the birth of mutants is an unknown infectious disease in the underground district."
"This infectious disease was contained and controlled decades ago. It has completely disappeared from the surface. Although it is still present underground, the amount in the air is much smaller than before."
This is why, among the newborns born in the underground block in recent years, the proportion of normal people has exceeded 60%.
People infected with the mutation are no longer as prevalent as before.
"But there is currently only one reason for a secondary mutation, and that is being in an environment with a high pollution source, which will give rise to a certain probability of secondary infection and the growth of a second neoplastic organ."
"In other words, the situation of the mutants here is very abnormal. I suspect that there is an extremely highly polluted area here or near the Fourteenth Town, otherwise there would not be so many secondary mutants."
After Turing expressed his doubts, he said to Angel in a serious tone: "Also, when I mentioned the first point just now, the useless decorations, I was not questioning the taste of the owner of this private hospital. I just felt that such redundant decorations should not appear in the underground district, and many decorations cannot be bought in the underground district. For example, the tapestry hanging on the wall is obviously from a fashion studio."
Although Turing's words were a little confusing, Ingres roughly understood what he meant.
It felt like the Beverly Care Center wasn't the kind of hospital that should be in an underground neighborhood.
More like, an underground replica of the hospital on the ground.
Angel thought back to the clinics in the Eighth Town, and then looked at the nursing center in front of him... Indeed, the clinic was too shabby, but it looked more like something that might appear in an underground block.
The Beverly Nursing Center is more like a hospital on the surface...
Let’s talk about the second point Turing mentioned, the issue of “secondary mutation”.
This made Angel think: Could it be that the background of the Beverly Nursing Center is a large hospital on the surface? They set up such a nursing center in the underground block to study the "mutated source of infection"?
This speculation is not groundless.
The previous assessment report that Henrietta's health was about to collapse was not from the Beverly Nursing Center itself, but from a large hospital on the surface - Fashion Hospital.
Fashion Hospital is the largest and most authoritative hospital in Modern City, and behind it stands the Fashion Guild.
Why is Henrietta's evaluation report issued by the Fashion Guild?
Angle hadn’t thought about it before, but now, combined with Turing’s words, I feel that there is a huge conspiracy behind this…
But then again, Turing speculated that there was a "high pollution source" in the 14th Town, and Ingres had his own opinion on this.
This high pollution source may not exist in a certain place, but in a certain person.
Like, Henrietta?
According to Turing, when a second organ appears, it is a secondary mutation. But Henrietta has more than just a second organ. Her body has become a petri dish, and her organs are multiplying almost infinitely.
This is at least more than a hundred mutations.
With such mutations, it is no exaggeration to say that she is a high source of pollution.
