Chapter 629: Treatment Plan?

Although Lu Mian had guessed before that there was more than one devil on Hant Island, he thought it was the sealed bloody devil plus the ice-blue-eyed devil, two. Who knew, he actually encountered different ice-blue-eyed devils just now, and they were all in the church!

"How many devils are there on this island?

"And they are all ice-blue-eyed, are they from the same family?

"Worthy of being the Mother of all things, even devils can be her children, a whole nest!

"..."

Various divergent thoughts accompanied those pairs of ice-blue eyes and the name Napo Redisli, echoing in Lu Mian's mind, making him feel that his previous investigation and speculation had not found the right direction at all.

The devil legend of Hant Island was more complex and mysterious than he imagined.

"No, there are still gains and effects...

"Speculation itself is bold assumption, careful verification. Being overturned is a normal result. Elimination method is also an important means of reasoning...

"Where is there a cold case that is completely guessed right from the beginning? What is important is to constantly deny the wrong path through the new information obtained during the investigation and find the correct one...

"Hehe, if I were on the 'Reader' pathway, playing a 'Detective' should be relatively easy. Breaking conspiracies is one of the main jobs of a 'Detective'..."

Lu Mian comforted himself, broke free from the impact brought by the two ice-blue-eyed devils, and restored clarity and reason, no longer feeling muddled and confused.

Sunning in the scorching sun, he quickly discovered a problem:

"In the scene I saw when I put on the 'Spectator's Glasses,' the bloody devil was pulled by invisible power, but there was only one invisible power, and there was only one pair of ice-blue eyes looking at me...

"The ice-blue-eyed devil that is really closely related to the bloody devil is only one, and that is Boselli, the old man repenting in front of the 'Life Holy Emblem'? The others, including that ice-blue-eyed clergy, all belong to its descendants, are children left by nuns through the Hant Island monastery to 'restore youth' and obtain new identities?

"But the ice-blue-eyed clergy didn't have the feeling of talking about his father, grandfather, or ancestor when mentioning Boselli at all, just like talking about a friend whose relationship is not so harmonious...

"And, it also calls itself Napo Redisli...

"Is this a surname? An important surname among the devils of the Abyss?"

With doubts, Lu Mian boarded the "Berry" and walked back to his first-class suite.

At this time, Lugano was enjoying a sumptuous lunch with Ludwig.

Seeing Lu Mian, this "Physician" smiled awkwardly:

"I thought you would eat special food on the island, so I didn't wait for you."

Lu Mian sat down, took a piece of bread full of wheat fragrance, and asked thoughtfully while chewing:

"What do you know about the abilities of the 'Planter' pathway?"

Lugano hesitated for a while and said truthfully:

"Sequence 9 'Planter' makes my strength very great, allows me to predict the weather for a period of time by observing natural phenomena such as clouds and wind, is good at distinguishing seeds, cultivating them, and using farm tools is more suitable for me than using knives and guns;

"The main ability of Sequence 8 'Physician' is treatment. I can judge the specific situation of patients through 'Spirit Vision,' possess excellent surgical ability, suture broken limbs, transplant internal organs, etc. In addition, I directly obtained several supernatural abilities: 'Treating Malignant Diseases,' 'Treating Wounds,' 'Suturing Souls,' and 'Giving Life';

"As far as I know, the next sequence is called 'Harvest Priest,' mainly promoting biological reproduction and growth, bringing harvest with supernatural abilities..."

Hearing this, Lu Mian suddenly interrupted Lugano's words:

"'Suturing Souls'?

"How is this achieved?"

Lugano smiled a little embarrassedly:

"I haven't really used this ability yet. This is for treating soul wounds. You know, some supernatural abilities can attack the soul and make it difficult to heal itself. In this case, as long as the wounded opens their body and mind and doesn't block, I can perform a surgery at the soul level and suture the corresponding wounds."

What Lu Mian cared about was not how to suture the soul, but another problem, which made him have a new speculation about the devil legend of Hant Island.

He swallowed the bread in his mouth, drank a sip of golden liqueur, thought about it and said:

"Since you can suture souls, then think from the opposite side, can you cut souls?"

Lugano was silenced by the question. He took ten or twenty seconds to answer:

"Theoretically, yes, but it requires the corresponding person to completely open their body and mind, letting the soul have no protection. If even the flesh doesn't exist, that would be even better."

This "Physician" hesitated for a while and added:

"This can be an attack on the soul, but it should also be a means of treatment. If a patient is cursed and the soul is partially contaminated, it can be dealt with by cutting off the fallen part and letting the soul slowly heal itself."

Hearing this, Lu Mian laughed and clapped his hands lightly:

"Well said, well said."

This made Lugano, who had a thick skin, feel a little embarrassed and blurted out:

"This is just my speculation, I haven't experimented yet."

Lu Mian ignored him and began to cut the small lamb chops on the plate seriously, like Ludwig.

At the same time, the initial feeling when he was attacked by the ice-blue-eyed devil appeared in his mind:

He saw different himself, himself full of hatred, himself immersed in pain, himself with lust, himself in different desires and emotions...

The idea that arose when he heard Lugano talk about suturing and cutting souls became clearer and clearer:

If with the help of the high-sequence ability of the "Planter" pathway, the different sides of the soul corresponding to different desires are cut out, what will happen?

Could it be that there is indeed only one ice-blue-eyed devil on Hant Island, but it was divided into souls by the saints and even angels of the Church of "Mother Earth," each becoming a person, while at the mysterious level it is still a whole, so the invisible power closely related to the bloody devil is only one?

The problem now is, why did the Church of "Mother Earth" do this?

Restriction, or protection? Or both?

Lu Mian quickly associated it with the state of the bloody devil, which was constantly sinking into the pitch-black sewage and being pulled up by invisible power.

"Is dividing the soul a kind of protection for the ice-blue devil, preventing it from being contaminated by the power of the pitch-black sewage?

"Wait, could the ice-blue-eyed devil be the part of the bloody devil's soul that is not contaminated? The treatment plan of the Church of 'Mother Earth' is that the whole is already hopeless, but part is still healthy, so the healthy soul needs to be cut off, in the form of different desires?

"The forest that blocks the mysterious valley, pitch-black sewage, and bloody devil presents the characteristics of rebirth, growth, corruption, death, and rebirth... The multiple soul fragments divided from the bloody devil are also given rebirth, letting them use the cycle of rebirth, growth, aging, death, and rebirth to resist the contamination spreading from the main body?

"At the same time, relying on the existence of the healthy part, pulling the bloody devil not to sink completely?

"The aging soul fragments will naturally be more easily affected by the contamination of the main body, while the newborn ones are the healthiest. This is the reason for the different states of Boselli the old man and the ice-blue-eyed clergy...

"Such rebirth, the soul is a devil's, is powerful, but the body belongs to a human, very weak. Hmm, it conforms to my observation of Boselli, a weak and old body wrapped in a powerful soul with strong malice...

"This... this is a sealing and rescue method that is very consistent with the characteristics of the Church of 'Mother Earth'..."

Thinking of this, Lu Mian felt a sense of sudden enlightenment, and only then did he find that he was constantly cutting the bones of the small lamb chops, making a tooth-aching sound.

Lugano pretended not to see or hear, focusing on enjoying the meal. Ludwig didn't care about such small things at all, with only food in his eyes.

Lu Mian withdrew his gaze and happily poured himself a glass of "Paha" red wine. The confusion, chaos, bewilderment, and loss that had arisen before disappeared a lot.

While drinking, he thought leisurely:

"This speculation is the most consistent with the current details. It's a pity that it can't be verified, and I dare not verify it. And in the absence of verification and results, the digestion of the potion cannot get feedback...

"Forget it, the experience and lessons gained this time are more important than the digestion that can still be attempted later.

"Why does the Church of 'Mother Earth' protect the bloody devil, and since the healthy soul has been divided and given rebirth, why not completely destroy and purify the contaminated main body and cut off the hidden danger?

"This likely involves the deep secrets of the world...

"Is that bloody devil the real, biggest Napo Redisli?

"Is it the one seeking a deal and wanting to kill the 'devil descendant' on Hant Island? Can it conversely influence the healthy soul fragments, letting Beyonders like me and Franca of middle sequence kill the real devil?"

The more Lu Mian thought, the more curious he was about the truth of the matter, but in the end, he controlled himself.

For a Beyonder of his level, this matter ends here. Afterwards, he will wait until leaving Hant Island to organize the information obtained and the speculations made and report them to the "Magician" lady to see what the major Arcana cards of the "Tarot Club" think.

Lu Mian, who put down the idea of investigation, felt relaxed and leisurely strolled around Hant Port in the following time.

He was surprised to find that in this island city in the Berserk Sea far from the mainland of the Feynapot Kingdom, there were no casinos in the true sense, no evil industries such as human trafficking, and it was as clean as if it had been purified by the Church of "Eternal Blazing Sun."

Lu Mian, who played cards like "Fighting Evil" for an afternoon, but whose wins and losses did not exceed 1 gold liso, finally figured out the reason later:

The ice-blue-eyed devils who couldn't control themselves prioritized picking malicious criminals and letting them disappear in the forest outside the city.

Over time, one or two hundred years passed, and Hant Port could be called the City of Sunshine.

Of course, there were innocent people killed here, such as that Antonio Elias.

Late at night, in the first-class suite of the "Berry."

In his dream, Lu Mian vaguely saw that land burning with sulfur flames again, and saw the bloody devil lying in the pitch-black liquid.
