Chapter 1398 - The Investigation (2/2)

Hessiana thought that it was a good idea and was delighted. “Brilliant! It sounds like it is not going to leave any trouble behind. Oh, yes, with a little advertisement, maybe I can turn the quarry into a tourist destination, collecting entrance ticket from tourists. Perot, please explore the potential of tourism in this place.”

Perot, the white-haired quarry supervisor, seemed to have long known about the extemporaneous nature of the vampire matriarch. He took the order without any expression on his face. Perot knew that Hessiana might not even remember she had talked about this idea after two days.

Meanwhile, Hao Ren and his men were all awestruck of the business sense of the little bat. But Lorissa, the one-and-a-half-year-old queen, had not a clue about what Hessiana was talking. She was only curious about everything in this place and busy darting around.

Vivian knocked on the table and got the attention of Hessiana. “You could do whatever with the quarry later, but first let us see the two workers.”

The two mentally deranged workers had even lost their mobility and needed to be carried into the office. There was no external injury on their bodies nor damage to their nervous system detected. Something else more complicated might have caused their insanity. The condition of the worker named Francisco was more severe; he could not even talk and was spending most of his time staring at the ceiling. His mouth mumbled in unrecognizable voices, which even the MDT’s translation system could not figure out what the man was saying. The other worker named David was a little better.

A little better here meant that at least his voice is a little louder than Francisco’s, and at least a few words were decipherable.

“Cave… fog… eat… slaughter… monster…”

This was what the MDT was able to figure out at last.

“Their conditions are more serious than before,” the young female vampire said. “These two humans had a strong emotional reaction at first. They yelled and struggled, but slowly became unresponsive and quiet. Their thinking ability is declining dramatically, and they are losing their bodily strength. Drug or magic has no effect on them.”

Vivian frowned as she carefully examined the two workers. “It looks like they are cursed, or suffering from mental trauma. You two must have entered the alien dimension. What could cause their conditions?” she asked the two vampires.

The two young vampires glanced at each other. And then the male vampire said, “We just peeked from the outside because we dared not enter. There was a strange light of red curtain covered the alien dimension. Once stepping inside, a strong sense of crisis hit us, and the magic warning props we carried with us sounded the alarm continuously. But we could not determine where the threat came from. Rose and I did not feel that they were attacked. But after staying in there for a while, dryness and ablation appeared on Rose’s skin while I began to feel weak. So we quickly came back out.”

Hao Ren looked at two young vampires and said, “Are you sure that you have not been attacked during the whole time in there?”

The two vampires nodded repeatedly. Hessiana said, “These two guys are the most honest in my family. Even the least honest guys would not dare to lie in front of me.”

The two vampires nodded even harder this time.

“It seems that there is a problem with the big environment or the energy field that shields the dimension. This energy field may be beyond the exploration of conventional methods, so that it is difficult to detect the harm it causes,” Y’zaks said as he bent down to check on the two victims. “In my hometown, many powerful curses could cause this effect.”

“Will these two people survive?” Hessiana asked. The two humans may have only been inconspicuous members of a small branch of Hessiana’s large family and may have even been ignorant of the existence of the Hessianite Family, but Hessiana still could not help but feel concerned.

“Don’t worry, they’re not going to die,” Hao Ren said with a confident smile. “I don’t know about the others, but have you forgotten that I have a bunch of high-tech medical equipment? I can even raise them from the dead if I want to. Let’s put them into the medical pods later after we explore the alien dimension.”
