Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 570 The Source of Infection in the Epidemic

The situation has been temporarily stabilized by Xinxia and the others, but most patients are surviving on the holy water from the flower stamens that Xinxia and the others brought. If we cannot find the first person to be infected, we will be unable to find the source of infection and prepare the relevant treatment.

After checking the situation here with Xin Xia and the others, Jiang Han investigated the recent situation in Kaka City. He deduced the infected from the most basic patient's drug purchase records. The local government had investigated this in advance, so he only needed to borrow the data. Jiang Han was accompanied not only by Xin Xia and the others from the Parthenon Temple, but also by himself, who was a five-star hunter master. Therefore, it was very smooth for him to access the data.

With this information, Jiang Han quickly deduced the relevant situation; in short, he came to this conclusion after recalling the plot of the original work.

The main reason for requesting relevant information from the local government is to give them a convincing reason. Otherwise, if he directly says that he knows the source of the disease, not only will people suspect that he secretly poisoned the virus, but even if he does say it, they will not believe him. After all, words are not enough!

"So the prisoners in the jail were the first batch of infected people?" Fen Ai, who was standing next to Xin Xia, said with some disbelief.

"Most prisoners in prisons are locked up, which is equivalent to being isolated. The government's initial epidemic camps had a group of prison guards, but perhaps because of the heavy workload, government investigators did not pay much attention to these guards."

"The next step is to investigate the situation in the prison. Now that the scope has been narrowed down so much, I believe it won't be long before we find the source of this epidemic," Jiang Han analyzed seriously.

"In that case, let's go straight to that prison!" Xinxia said, a look of joy on her face.

······

The prison that Jiang Han and his team were investigating was located on a sea cliff. The sea cliff was very high and steep. Since it housed ordinary prisoners, it did not have any magical restrictions like the Shuangshou Pavilion.

There's absolutely no need to worry about prisoner escapes. There are plenty of guardians and guards at the main gate. Trying to force your way in would be tantamount to suicide. As for escaping by jumping over the high-voltage wall and into the sea, well, the cliffs are steep and there are reefs below. If you actually jumped down, it would be no different from forcing your way into the main gate.

Prisons are places where filth gathers, and considering the possibility of being infected by prisoners, Xin Xia specially cast a blessing spell on Jiang Han and Fen Ai before entering the prison.

The blessing seal, when placed on the skin of several people, will form a special magical defensive barrier on the ground when poison, shadow, or evil energy invades the body.

Not long after Jiang Han entered the prison, he sensed an evil soul aura within the prison, similar to the situation at Shuangshou Pavilion. If he hadn't obtained the Ninghua Evil Pearl from there and been purified, leaving only pure soul power, the sensation might have been even more pronounced.

"Little Master, buy me the Soul-Capturing Pearl and the Spirit Purification Card to purify mental pollution." Jiang Han contacted Little Master as he walked, bringing up the system's shop interface.

"Ding, 500,000 system points consumed, Soul-Capturing Pearl successfully purchased."

"Ding, 240,000 system points consumed, Mental Purification Card successfully purchased."

Two notification sounds kept ringing in Jiang Han's mind. After that, two more items appeared in his system space: the Soul-Absorbing Pearl and the Spirit Purification Card. The former had a similar effect to the Condensed Evil Pearl, which could absorb spiritual energy, but it could not absorb spiritual energy that had been contaminated by the spirit. Therefore, the Spirit Purification Card was needed.

After the previous Condensed Evil Pearl was purified, it became Jiang Han's means of unleashing demonization without backlash, but it could only be used once. As for purchasing Soul Pearls with spiritual energy in the system space, the cost was too high, and one or two would not be enough. It would cost at least five million points to use it once. Now that he had encountered a situation similar to the Condensed Evil Pearl, Jiang Han was very excited.

As long as he holds a trump card, he won't panic. Currently, his true trump card is the demonization, and another one is the emperor's avatar guarding the ancient capital, Sha Yuan.

As for Xue Ling, Long Da, Long Er, and those undead summons and undead servants, they are fine against weaker forces or demons (monarch level), but they are not enough against top forces and high-level demons (emperor level).

Jiang Han, Xin Xia, and Fen Ai, accompanied by the security guards, inspected the prison, but they did not see any symptoms similar to infectious diseases. Moreover, everyone seemed more energetic than the people outside, which made Fen Ai wonder if Jiang Han's speculation was wrong.

"Mr. Jiang, are you mistaken? The prisoners here look perfectly normal and don't seem to be infected," Fen Ai couldn't help but ask first.

"No, something's not right with these people," Xinxia said, shaking her head.

"These people have strange minds. Logically speaking, my mind-controlling abilities should allow me to easily perceive their thoughts and emotions, since they are just ordinary people and do not have the unwavering resolve of mages. However, when I examined their thoughts, I found that their souls seemed to be shrouded in a fog."

As Xin Xia's maid, Fen Ai naturally knew that Xin Xia was a mental mage, and a mental mage with considerable skill, so she did not doubt the truthfulness of Xin Xia's words.

"Should we notify the local government to conduct a thorough investigation?" Fen asked with a grave expression.

"There's no signal here..." the security guard who was leading the group said somewhat awkwardly.
