Doctor Player Chapter 466 – Side Story 14

“… … If we go over there, will we only eat beef again?”

“You’re already eating only beef, Sir Lyndon.”

“… … .”

While we were talking about this and that, the phone arrived.

Buildings lay in the great valleys of the mountains, all of which were stately mansions.

‘How much money do you need to build and live in a mansion village like that in the middle of a mountain range?’

Raymond made an envious face.

As the emperor himself, he suffered from debt and suffered all kinds of hardships, but seeing the vampires peacefully raising cattle and enjoying all kinds of wealth, I felt a sense of relative deprivation.

‘are you okay. I’m not far from rich either. This is the beginning!’

He shouted fighting inwardly and moved forward.

But the moment I saw the patients.

All those idle thoughts were gone.

[This is the building, Your Majesty. I’ve gathered the bad guys here.]

Raymond’s face hardened.

The condition of the patients was much worse than expected.

* * *

“Ouch… … .”

“Cool cool cool.”

Vampire patients were huddled together in the largest building in town, and the symptoms were all severe.

“Sir Lyndon Christine! Please check the condition of the patients with the other disciples!”

“Your Majesty!”

Christine Linden led the disciples who came with her to quickly check her vitals and symptoms.

Linden quickly reported the condition of the patients.

“Everyone is not good. Many are in severe shock, and many are in pre-shock systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).”

“What is the suspected diagnosis of the patients?”

Raymond asked.

Now Linden was able to come up with quite a few diagnoses after seeing so many patients.

But Linden replied with a puzzled face.

“that is… … I do not know.”

“You don’t know?”

“Your symptoms are mixed… … Weird.”

weird.

It was an unmedical expression.

“It seems strange to me too.”

“Sir Christine?”

Christine stepped aside and explained further.

“Each patient is not a special disease. Of course, the exact diagnosis can only be known after a test, but if you estimate from the symptoms, you are suffering from an infectious disease such as pneumonia, meningitis, endometritis, and hemorrhagic fever.”

Raymond noticed the meaning of the word ‘strange’.

“Such a variety of diseases in several patients at once?”

“Yes, that is impossible.”

There was nothing special about each disease the patients suffered from.

A common disease seen.

However, the problem is that the diseases developed all at once.

‘How did this happen?’

Raymond made a confused face.

It was different from the principle of ‘curse’ he knew.

The principle of the kind that directly harms the body among the curses is to cause problems by causing bad effects on the body with the power of mana or chaos.

Inflammation of the lungs, causing pneumonia-like symptoms, problems with the clotting system, causing hemorrhagic disease, or sudden cardiac arrest.

Or there were curses of the kind that summoned germs and viruses to cause trouble.

The more powerful the curse is, the more difficult it is to treat and can cause fatal diseases.

‘But no matter how strong the curse is, it can’t cause multiple diseases at once. And against so many people.’

Hundreds of people are suffering here now.

It is extremely difficult just to cast a wide-area curse that directly affects the body of so many people, but to cause such various diseases to appear?

‘How could such a thing be possible even for the ruler of chaos?’

It was a time when I was stiff because I couldn’t understand.

In that corner, a vampire coughed up blood and shouted.

“Ooh, we’re all going to die! I shouldn’t have disobeyed Newbweera! gagging gagging!”

That cry was over.

He vomited enough blood to wet the floor and closed his eyes drooping.

“… … He died.”

Linden said with a pale complexion.

A heavy silence fell in the hall.

* * *

First of all, Raymond treated the patients according to septic shock.

‘The exact diagnosis is still unknown, but if you look at the symptoms of the patients, it’s a kind of infectious disease. I need to give him antibiotics and let him recover from shock.’

“Sir Lyndon Christine. Please treat patients according to the Shock Situations Manual!”

“all right!”

Christine and Linden lead the disciples to treat critically ill patients.

But something unexpected happened.

Antibiotics and shock treatment did not improve the condition of the vampire patients.

Even when the medicine was administered, it did not show any reaction and deteriorated helplessly, and countless people died one by one.

‘this.’

Raymond gritted his teeth as he watched the patient die in front of him.

‘What the hell is it?’

It was strange.

‘If it’s a curse that causes an infection, it should respond to antibiotics and shock treatment, but it’s not effective at all.’

As the members of the clan died, Rudian’s face gradually turned white.

Then a harsh voice cut in between them.

“Didn’t I tell you, Princess?! We have to follow New Bwira-nim!”

It was an old gray-haired vampire.

He coughed and shouted.

“This is a curse placed on us by the great Lord of Chaos! It’s not something that healers can heal!”

“… … stop.”

Rudian spoke in a low voice.

“Didn’t I tell you? The emperor of poverty here is the one who has caused many miracles so far. He will heal even the curse of the Lord of Chaos.”

“but!”

“This is an order, so be quiet!”

Rudian raised his voice and only then did the opponent shut up.

But it didn’t look convincing.

I was forced to keep my mouth shut, but soon I will protest again.

Rudian lowered his head as if apologizing to Raymond.

“sorry. In fact, even now, there are a lot of people who have to ask for forgiveness from Newbweera.”

“… … .”

“But I trust you, Your Majesty.”

Raymond made a heavy face.

‘I have to uncover the identity of this curse first.’

That was more of a priority than anything else.

We need to figure out what exactly this curse is causing the body to react to.

Raymond made an assumption.

‘The curse that causes an infectious disease is correct. The question is what kind of infectious disease it is.’

Identity was not guessed.

‘How can so many diseases appear at once?’

That was the moment I thought about it.

A diagnosis popped into Raymond’s mind.

‘Come to think of it, there is one. A disease in which these various types of infectious diseases can come at once.’

Raymond swallowed.

It has not yet appeared in Ley Pentaina.

However, it was a very famous disease in modern Earth, the home of medicine.

‘It’s AIDS!’

AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

If the body’s immune system is broken, various infectious diseases could appear at once as now.

‘If you suppress the function of T immune cells with a curse, you can make similar symptoms appear!’

Raymond immediately decided to check it out.

‘Subspace Summon!’

A tool was needed to diagnose AIDS.

A black hole opened in the air, and a large machine the size of a house was summoned.

Ten times larger than the catapult used to treat Archduke Rembrandt the other day.

Of course, the summoning cost was also expensive.

[The volume of the items summoned in subspace is more than ‘extra-large’!]

[Pledge to donate 500,000 pena!]

[If you don’t fulfill your donation, a strong penalty will be applied in the future!]

‘… … damn it What’s so expensive?’

Raymond swallowed his curse.

Every time I use this skill, I feel it, but it was too expensive.

But now was not the time to count money.

That tool was specially made by Raymond in collaboration with Magic Tower, and it was able to measure the activity of various immune cells.

‘We can also measure the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes. It’s fortunate that this function was added in advance in case there was an AIDS-like disease.’

Rudian looked at the machine Raymond had summoned with a surprised face.

“Your Majesty, is that?”

“It is an inspection tool that will reveal the identity of the curse.”

“iced coffee!”

Finally seeing the light of hope, Rudian’s face brightened.

“It is not certain yet. We’ll know for sure once we do the test.”

If the curse that causes AIDS is correct, there is a solution.

‘Because this isn’t real AIDS. No curse of any kind lasts forever. If you hold on while helping the immune function, the curse will weaken and the immune function will be restored, so the condition of the patients will improve.’

In particular, the curse of fatal power in this way puts a strong burden on the practitioner.

So no matter how long you look at it, you won’t be able to keep the curse for more than a week or two.

‘The problem is when it’s not AIDS.’

Raymond thought anxiously.

The symptoms the patients now see are slightly different from those seen in typical HIV patients.

‘The onset and progress of infectious diseases are too fast. No matter how HIV is, infectious diseases don’t appear this quickly.’

However, since this is not an accurate diagnosis of AIDS, but similar symptoms caused by a curse, there could be some degree of discrepancy.

‘I’ll find out if I test it.’

Raymond nervously began the examination.

The patient’s blood was taken and reacted to a large magical machine, and the machine analyzed the sample according to a predetermined magic formula.

The reaction was not quick due to the complicated procedure.

Raymond and others’ hearts raced with tension, and soon the results were displayed.

[CD4+: 1230]

“… … !”

Raymond’s face hardened.

It was normal.

‘what?’

HIV is a disease in which T cells are destroyed and immunity is lowered.

However, this number was normal.

‘It wasn’t AIDS. Then what?’

Raymond, who fell into the labyrinth again, put on a heavy expression.

Rudian also realized that something was not going well, and his complexion hardened.

Just then, an urgent voice came from outside.

“It’s a big deal, Mr. Rudian!”

“what?”

A vampire came running.

“The incarnation of Newbwira has reappeared!”

* * *

Rudian immediately went outside.

Raymond followed at a distance.

‘It’s an incarnation.’

avatar.

say avatar.

Mighty Lords of Chaos can create these incarnations to act at their will, Reina explained.

‘It’s scary, so let’s look at it from a distance from the back.’
