Chapter 0561: About Yanan’s Past and Present Life (Part 2)



Whenever Fang Zheng played horror games, watched horror movies, or read horror novels, he would find something particularly strange. In fact, he had seen Yanan's experience in many games, movies, and novels. It was nothing more than a group of people excavating ruins and discovering technologies and existences that surpassed their modern civilization, and then wanted to analyze these technologies.

Then in the process, they discovered the secret of the demise of this civilization, because this civilization was researching something that could lead to a higher level or possess more powerful power, and then the experiment went out of control, and BOOM everyone was killed, leaving only this relic.

Everything was normal up to this point, but what Fang Zheng couldn't understand was... in those works, basically the following routine was that the researcher who obtained the record was ecstatic, and then began to try to continue the research based on the work of their predecessors.

This made Fang Zheng a little confused.

If you say that it is the analysis and research of a higher civilization on a lower civilization, that's understandable. But since you have already discovered that the other party's civilization level and technological level are higher than yours, and they don't have the technology they can master and control, where does your mysterious confidence come from to think you can do it?

Even today, we still need the most professional technicians to build nuclear reactors. If you ask a group of engineers from the steam engine era to come in, they will cause an explosion in minutes!

Fang Zheng knew a truth when he was learning magic: if you want to study demons, it is best to start by summoning small demons, rather than being so confident as to go directly to the Hell Demon for tea. It is like when you play an online game, no idiot will control a level 1 character to brush a mount... because you can't enter the dungeon even if you drag a corpse, you can't kill the enemy even if you enter, and you can't get the weapon even if you kill it, and you can't use it even if you get it.

The result of this group of less than level 10 trumpets taking drugs crazily was that they went berserk. Due to the long-term infusion of the blood of the ancient gods, the first case of an apprentice committing suicide by violence finally appeared. After performing an autopsy on him, Dean William was surprised to find that the apprentice's body had begun to transform into a monster from the inside out. He also found that the power of the ancient gods that humans can withstand is limited. Once this limit is exceeded, humans will go berserk, go berserk, and then transform into indescribable monsters.

After discovering this, William and his student Lawrence had a disagreement about the experiment... Well, Dr. Yusefka said a lot in this paragraph, and Fang Zheng summarized it as follows.

Lawrence: Only noble blood can guarantee the throne! Only by injecting the blood of the ancient gods can we ensure that humans can advance to a higher level and become higher life forms! Without the blood of the gods, humans will never be able to reach that level!

William: Kou Gu Yue! Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species? We humans don't need to rely on divine blood at all. As long as we work hard, we will be able to become gods one day!

Lawrence: When that day comes, teacher, your bones will be cold!

William: That's better than being a lackey of the powerful and waiting to be promoted! My fate is in my own hands! If you keep doing this, something bad will happen sooner or later, I tell you!

Lawrence: The talks broke down, let’s break up!

William: Let’s go, I’m not afraid of you! I tell you, if you don’t listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences!

LAWRENCE: Humph!

Then Lawrence, who had quarreled with William, left Byron Weiss College with a group of younger brothers and ran to Yharnam, not far away, to open a medical church.

As for why Lawrence wanted to open a medical church, Yusefka couldn't explain it clearly, but as a leader of a force, Fang Zheng could guess a little. Logically speaking, if something like divine blood could really turn humans into superiors, then Lawrence would be hiding it, so why would he share it? The most powerful explanation is that Lawrence's research on divine blood is still ongoing, but research has always been expensive. Don't you see that Taoists have to ask the emperor for help when they refine elixirs of immortality? Lawrence himself is not printing money, and research also requires land and manpower. Everyone has to eat, so he can't say that he will give up his life for the sake of studying divine blood.

It just so happens that the divine blood has the effect of curing diseases, so Lawrence thought that he could sell it for money, commercialize the research, and then use the profits to support scientific research, and by the way, he could also fool a group of volunteers who don't want to be paid... Well, this method is quite scientific and there is nothing wrong with it.

But it would be too much trouble to popularize scientific knowledge to a bunch of medieval fools, so Lawrence thought, forget it, just use religion as a cover. Anyway, blood transfusion can cure all diseases, which sounds unscientific. If you say it is a religious miracle, people will be more receptive!

And it can be sold at a higher price, after all, the product has higher added value.

As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. In the beginning, the Medical Church did rely on the blood of God to treat many difficult and complicated diseases, and thus gained countless wealth and fame. But it was not completely without problems. Many people who came here to seek blood therapy, although they were cured of their diseases, became dependent on the blood of God and refused to leave. They longed for blood and hoped to feel the happiness that the blood of God brought them again.

From this point of view, Fang Zheng felt that the divine blood was very similar to morphine, which was used for medical purposes at first, but was later abused. The same was true for divine blood. Under people's endless thirst, blood therapy became widespread in Yharnam, eventually leading to big problems.

This is normal, even the abuse of antibiotics can cause problems, not to mention this kind of divine blood dug out from an ancient tomb whose mother no one knows. Soon, those who over-infused the divine blood began to become violent, becoming as ferocious and terrifying as wild beasts. Not only that, some of them began to really turn into wild beasts and wreak havoc everywhere.

Now the medical church is in a panic. You know, the medicine has to state clearly that there is a certain percentage or thousandth of the possibility of side effects. But you didn't say anything when you transfused divine blood to people. What if people come to settle the score with them?

There is no way, you have to clean your own ass.

So the church hastily formed a hunter team, whose members were composed of local people from Yharnam and strong people from other places who came to seek blood treatment. Their mission was to eliminate these beasts and try their best to ensure that Yharnam did not cause trouble.

At the beginning, the appearance of hunters did curb the beastification to a great extent. The church also began to gradually reduce the use of divine blood and began to try to regulate blood therapy, no longer abusing it as before.

However, as if things didn't get worse, the church tried to control blood therapy, but at this time, a plague called septicemia broke out in Yharnam. The church tried to use other methods to cure the disease, but found that it was also an incurable and difficult disease, so the church had no choice but to use blood therapy again...

But then something happened that completely changed everything.

Yusefka didn't know the truth. She was just a doctor in the Healing Church, whose main task was to treat and take care of patients. She only learned from the words of other people in the church that the church sent hunters to carry out a secret operation. The content and reason of the operation were unknown, but it was certain that after that, Yharnam was cursed. Nightmares began to invade the town, and no one could escape. They hid in nightmares and reality and trembled until now...

"...In other words, if we want to end the Hunting Night, we can only go to the Healing Church and ask for clarification?"

After listening to Yusefka's story, Fang Zheng finally understood Yanan's current situation.

"Can you show me a way? Or introduce... someone who can help me?"

"this……"

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Yusefka thought for a moment.

"If I remember correctly, Archbishop Amelia of the Healing Church should be in the cathedral... You can go find her... But I don't know what her current situation is. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time in the nightmare. Just go out from here and follow the slope on the right to reach the cathedral..."

"All right."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised the sword in his hand again.

"Then I will go and have a good talk with Archbishop Amelia."
