Chapter 3397 The Magical Doctor (Forty-one)
Arkham Batman tells Schiller about his experience in the mining area in order to find the target person.
Schiller and the others were playing "Double-point Hospital", while Arkham and Natasha played "Tomb Raider", because the labels they chose were "action" and "battle". The whole process was parkour, jumping and fighting, with a little bit of puzzle elements mixed with.
Both of them are hexagonal warriors without weaknesses. Whether they encounter dangerous terrain on the way to the mining area, the enemies of the resistance army that pop up from time to time, or the puzzle of running back and forth to find the stone slabs to find keys, they all handled it with ease.
Schiller has already planned to watch their pass video after going out. Maybe he can compete for the best action movie of the year, provided that there are no extra moves. But Schiller knows that this is impossible in Natasha's style.
Arkham Batman and Natasha went deep into the bottom of the mining area and found some unusual traces there. This proves that this mine accident may not be an accident of negligence, but may be artificial.
They walked all the way along the mine road, but encountered a dead end. They remembered the direction of the mine road, and after returning to the surface, they found that the mine road was pointing to the hospital.
The two were divided into two groups. Arkham Batman continued to investigate outside, while Natasha went to the hospital to explore. However, unlike Wanda, she did not fall into the operating room where Schiller and the others were, but went to Arrogant and Batman.
Schiller was thinking about the information brought back by Arkham Batman. Thor carried a patient past him, and Schiller quickly moved out of the position. Now there are two rampant mud trucks in the lobby of a small hospital, which is obviously not a good place to think.
Schiller walked to Loki with the medical record in his hand, handed it over and asked, "Why did Thor and he come to the hospital? You probably won't choose a label like a hospital, right?"
Loki wrote the doctor's order and said, "We are two of us, so we chose labels such as 'myth' and 'magic'. Unexpectedly, we came here."
"Myth and magic? I can understand magic. What does what you are doing now have to do with myth?"
"Do you know what the magic system in this world looks like?"
Schiller shook his head. He was indeed a little unthinkable because his understanding of magic was roughly divided into two types: one was American comics, which was simply "borrowing debt"; the other was Harry Potter magic, which had no cost, and the upper limit was basically entirely based on imagination.
But this world is obviously not any of them. Their magic is not borrowed, but it is not at all cost.
"The magic energy in this world is like the oil used by humans in the real world." Loki said without raising his head, "The magic energy heads are distributed below the surface. As long as they are mined, they can obtain a continuous stream of magic energy, which can be used in all aspects of social life."
"If it were analogy to oil, it was obvious that this thing would definitely cause competition. This is the case. This continent has gone through several wars and finally became what it is now."
"This is a bit far from it. In short, the Principality of Westchester where we are now located is located at the junction of the two empires. One of the two empires is good at steam technology and the other is good at magic energy development. The Principality of Westchester uses both."
"Can oil be used as a metaphor?" Schiller questioned, "Hundreds of years ago someone divided up the magic energy underground in the Magic Shu Town and turned himself into a great wizard."
"It's not that they divided up the magic and turned themselves into a great wizard, but that the countries and forces behind them divided up the oil fields. In order to get them to take the blame, they were given the name and treatment of the great wizard."
"So that's it." Schiller said. He thought of the man he saw in Manny's dream, who was like a nobleman. He should be the representative of a certain force behind him.
"But you still didn't say what your main mission is."
Loki shook his head and said, "It basically has nothing to do with your mission. What we want to study is the real source of magic energy on this continent."
"What is similar? The World Tree of the Nine Kingdoms?"
"Almost. This continent was not formed naturally, and it is very likely that it was created by God. What we have to do is find where the entrance to the 'God's Long Terrain' is."
"You want to become a god?"
"The short-term goal is to become a great wizard."
"I can still understand if you want to be a mage. What's going on with Thor?"
"From your human division standards, Thor is also a mage. Because he uses divine power, it is also a kind of magic. Even if the way he uses a fist made of divine power to swing people, it is also a way of using magic..."
Schiller didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, so he simply took the medical record and came to the arrogant psychological clinic. He wanted to know more about why Arrogance and Batman also became doctors.
The two of them definitely won’t choose the label “hospital”. Schiller is very clear because this scene doesn’t give them much room to play. If he is arrogant, he may want to choose “university” more.
Arrogant was not taking the doctor, but sat at the desk to sort out notes. He looked up at Schiller who was walking over, lowered his head and continued to write.
Schiller walked to the sofa next to the desk and sat down, picked up a book next to him and placed it on his lap, and began to tell the arrogance about the current situation of several teams.
When he finished speaking, the arrogance was finished. He put down the things in his hand, stood up and walked to the sofa opposite him to sit down, and said, "I did consider the theme of college. But Batman said that we cannot only preset a modern university situation in a scientific society, but it may also be a magic school, or an alien school."
"The task may not have anything to do with teaching, it just happens in the university scenario. If this is the case, the school is not a good choice because there are too many people and the situation will become more complicated."
"So what did you two choose?"
"Supernatural Contact."
Schiller paused his hand with the cup and said, "You guys are looking for haunted copies? What's the point?"
"Because he wanted to know if psychoanalysis is useful to ghosts."
"Damn it, you agree?" Schiller said helplessly, "Batman should know that this has nothing to do with the form of life, right? As long as it is a smart creature, it can naturally be analyzed."
"He would rather understand psychoanalysis as communication in certain brain waves. You know them, and you have the courage to explore every possibility."
"What a high emotional intelligence statement," Schiller sighed. Then he continued to ask, "So your two are the subject of catching ghosts?"
"To be precise, studying ghosts." Naruto took a note from the table next to him, handed it to Schiller, and said, "We are from the Mage League. You can understand it as a magician of the Theoretical School. This is the subject we are working on."
Schiller opened his notebook and saw some knowledge about the development of magic energy heads.
"Are you here to investigate the magic energy heads of Moshu Town?"
"More specific, we are investigating some abnormal phenomena in the development of magic energy heads, including magic outbreaks, evil spirits, plagues, etc. The Magic Shu Town is obviously a typical case."
"Then how did you get into the hospital?" Schiller tapped his cup with his fingers and said, "Manny has certain requirements for the doctor's candidate. You two do not meet the requirements."
"I think you should first talk about what the master of the dream, that little ghost girl, is doing."
“Is this part of your research?”
"That's right." Arrogant put one leg on the other, his hand on his knee, and said, "This involves some battles between the Mage League and the Steam Union, which are some filthy things. But it's mostly related to our ultimate goal. I have to collect such clues."
"Okay, it's not a fair intelligence exchange. But I can give you a discount." Schiller said, "Our mission process should be the shortest of you. You can leave after you finish it. So nothing you do will affect us. It's okay to tell you."
"The plague was not caused by Manny. She didn't have such ability. But she did control the hospital. This was the agreement she made with Dr. Foster."
"Many years ago, when Doctor Foster practiced medicine to save people, he discovered an abnormality in Moshu Town, that is, a major plague broke out every once in a while, taking many lives."
"He realized that the situation was not normal, but there was no way to solve the problem from the source. So he set up a hospital to treat people."
"But obviously some people don't want him to do this. There were many problems in the hospital and they almost couldn't get started. Dr. Foster had to find Manny and use the condition to help her revenge to let Manny control the hospital."
"Doctor Foster certainly knew that as an evil spirit, Manny could not save people. So the purpose of this hospital was to protect certain specific people when the plague broke out, so that they could survive smoothly."
"Doctor Foster has developed a list of miners, geologists, prospectors, mechanical engineers, mining equipment drivers, and even manufacturers of high-power lighting fixtures. They are all protected."
"Manny didn't understand the meaning of doing this, but after she told me these things, I guess Dr. Foster might have realized that the problem was in the mine. He wanted these people to survive and go to the mine to explore and solve the problem from the source when the plague was over."
Arrogant listened to Schiller's narration silently and asked his own question: "Since that's the case, why should the hospital formulate such complex rules to kill these doctors?"
"It's a screening mechanism," Schiller said. "Doctor Foster doesn't seem to want the team to have hindrance. What he wants is a team that is comprehensive, responsive and helps each other."
"It seems that he is not as kind as he seems." said arrogantly, "the patients have become his experimental subjects for selecting team members."
"It's not entirely true. I can only say that without this hospital, these patients would not survive. According to Manny, if the number of people dies, the plague will not stop."
Hearing this, Arrogant understood a little, and he said, "This should be some kind of sacrifice ceremony, right?"
