Chapter 594: Chapter 295: Master of Deduction_2

"Someone has gathered so many zombies together, it’s definitely for the purpose of feeding. Who will feed them? Of course, it’s their blood relatives!"

Everyone nodded subconsciously. It was entirely possible that people couldn’t accept the death of their loved ones and were keeping and feeding them, trying to find a way to turn them back into humans.

"Oppa, you’re so amazing!"

Kim Myungjin looked at Lin Baici with adoration in her eyes. But soon, a strong worry surfaced on her face.

Oppa is so amazing, how can I ever be good enough for him?

Beautiful and intelligent Gu Qingqiu had given Kim Myungjin a great deal of pressure. Intelligence is something you’re born with; it can’t be developed later on.

It looks like I’ll have to keep on working out.

I can’t compete with brains, so I’ll compete with the body, playing to my strengths.

Kim Myungjin prayed that Lin Baici would never lose his basic instincts, not liking beautiful women anymore, and that for their nightly video calls, she should wear even less, be more seductive.

"It’s over, it’s over, I’ve turned into a Barbie Q!"

Hua Yue Yu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Intelligence wise, I’m no match for Gu Qingqiu; physically, I can’t compare with Kim Myungjin; how will I ever capture Lin Baici’s heart?

I can’t just become his daughter, can I?

Besides, even if I was into that kind of play, he might not like it!

Ahh, Mom, why didn’t you give me more milk to drink when I was a kid? It’s left me looking like a sprout, not even a dog would glance at me.

Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu had never worried about dying in this rule pollution. They had seen Lin Baici’s excellence firsthand; sticking with him was a sure thing.

"Sir Zhao, you should have a census of the village’s population, right? Go look it up; we might be able to narrow down the range of the mastermind behind this!"

Quan Sangin ordered.

"We do have it, but given the current situation, I’m afraid it’s inconvenient."

Zhao Decheng first flashed a smile, then showed difficulty.

Plainly speaking, he was afraid of dying and didn’t want to go.

Quan Sangin’s face turned stern, not pleased with the non-compliance. Just as he was about to issue a command, Gu Qingqiu interjected, "There’s no need to go now. The mastermind is likely not here, but Li God Doctor should be!"

"What are you talking about?"

Kim Jinsoo frowned. Why can I understand every word, but when put together, I’m totally lost?

"Although I don’t know the reason, for some reason the Jurchen woman harbors hatred toward you Goryeo people. The fall of Shangqingfu City was almost certainly ’his’ doing. I don’t think his appetite is that small to be satisfied with just one Shangqingfu City, so he would likely lead the zombie horde to the royal capital!"

Gu Qingqiu analyzed.

Even if Quan Sangin wasn’t a God Ruins Aboriginal, hearing such a grand plan was enough to make his scalp tingle. Xiba, that Boar Guard’s Jurchen woman was obviously intent on national destruction.

Zhao Decheng and Dae Jang Geum were in a panic.

"Such a thing surely can’t be accomplished in just ten or fifteen days, so after he left, he wouldn’t come back. But I just checked, there’s hardly any dust on the lock, and on the skeleton of a wild deer, there’s still meat and dried bloodstains, it hasn’t been dead for more than seven days. This means someone has recently fed them!"

Gu Qingqiu looked out the door, glancing at the snowy day, "Zhao Decheng, take your men and search the whole village!"

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Pei Douwen was angry. "What if that person runs away while we’re talking?"

"Douwen, shut up!"

Quan Sangin scolded.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Pei Douwen was dissatisfied.

"On a normal day, I certainly wouldn’t talk so much but today, it has snowed!"

Gu Qingqiu glanced at Pei Douwen and shook her head.

So naive!

"..."

Pei Douwen’s face instantly turned red. He wanted to argue back but couldn’t. He was just afraid of becoming infected and turning into a zombie, which made him desperate and led to a blind spot in his thinking, but in truth, he wasn’t stupid.

Gu Qingqiu meant that with the snow, there would be footprints, and that person couldn’t escape.

"Let’s go, time to meet Li God Doctor!"

Lin Baici turned and left the house.

"What about these zombies?"

Dae Jang Geum hesitated, "Should we kill them?"

"Keep them. They might become a bargaining chip when negotiating with that mastermind, and you can also use them for experiments!"

Lin Baici exited the mudbrick house, standing on the village’s central dirt road, and began to shout, "Li God Doctor, come out and talk?"

The wind and snow were heavy, but they couldn’t drown out Lin Baici’s powerful voice.

"Someone is leading the zombie horde to the royal capital, intending to destroy Goryeo. Are you still concerned about your petty personal honor?"

Gu Qingqiu mocked.

"Li God Doctor, are you there? I have some questions for you!"

Lee Taehyun wanted to know the true cause of his village’s destruction, but Li God Doctor, with his miraculous skills and benevolent heart, had too great a reputation for even a member of the Tiger Hunter Army to act rashly against.

"Master, I think you must have had your reasons."

Dae Jang Geum wept.

With Li God Doctor’s fame and medical skills, he could have lived a life of luxury, yet he did not. He provided medical care free of charge and lived a life of poverty.

Lin Baici’s ears suddenly twitched; he turned around.

Everyone else turned as well.

An old man wearing hemp clothes and straw shoes emerged from a small box over forty meters away.

"Master!"

Dae Jang Geum shouted and started to run over but was grabbed by Quan Sangin.

"Li God Doctor, what exactly happened to my village?"

Lee Taehyun pressed for an answer.

"At that time, thirty thousand Japanese pirates invaded and plundered. If they could not be defeated, many people would die, and it would take years for the people’s lives to return to normal. So, An Jinxi and I decided to sacrifice some people!"

Li God Doctor lowered his head, his voice deep, unable to look at Lee Taehyun again: "At that time, your village had an outbreak of leprosy. Even if the villagers survived by luck, they would endure great suffering..."

"So you turned them into zombies and used them to defeat the thirty thousand Japanese pirates?"

Gu Qingqiu interjected.

"Yes!"

Li God Doctor admitted.

"Xiba, this old man is ruthless!"

Choi Sunsil was dumbfounded.

"No wonder you could defeat thirty thousand with only two thousand soldiers!"

Zhao Decheng suddenly realized.

The Japanese pirates had always plundered along the coast and were a major threat to Goryeo. An Jinxi’s battle had kept the Japanese pirates from daring to step on the Goryeo coast even now, and it was expected to be calm for several years to come.

This battle, where the few defeated the many, had restored the pride of the Korean people.

An Jinxi gained rank and honor through this victory, and even was named a great general. Meanwhile, the man before them became known as Li God Doctor, with a far-reaching reputation.

Lee Taehyun clenched his fist in an instant, teeth gritted, staring at Li God Doctor.

"You can come to seek revenge on me anytime!"

Li God Doctor had already accepted life and death.

Ah!

Lee Taehyun screamed, raising his flamethrower.

Bang!

The gun fired, but the bullet did not hit Li God Doctor.

Lee Taehyun looked up at the sky, bewildered and helpless.

Reason told him that Li God Doctor’s choice was not wrong. Many who contracted leprosy did not survive; they were better off being used as weapons to resist the Japanese pirates.

But...

"Why did it have to be our village?"

Lee Taehyun wailed.

"Question!"

Gu Qingqiu raised his hand: "Why didn’t the zombies infect the Japanese pirates with the same condition after biting them?"

Anyone who thought about it could guess that since zombies are harder to kill than humans, thirty thousand Japanese pirate zombies could cause a huge mess in Goryeo.

"That was the first generation of zombies. Those bitten to death by them would die outright, unable to come back as zombies."

Li God Doctor explained: "The second generation of zombies, however, can turn fatally bitten people into zombies!"

"How did this second generation of zombies come about?"

Pei Douwen pressed: "Is there a way to reverse the process?"

"The first generation of zombies was created using the Weed of Life and Death. The second generation probably came into being by chance, after feeding on some bodies that contained the toxins of the Weed of Life and Death!"

Li God Doctor was not sure, so he did not have a cure either.

"All the patients in your clinic have become zombies. Don’t you want to think of a solution instead of running off here?"

Zhao Decheng cursed: "Now all Goryeo is doomed!"

Li God Doctor remained silent. Because he had not found a solution, he came back to where the Weed of Life and Death and the zombies were first discovered, hoping for a stroke of luck.

Unfortunately, he came away empty-handed.

"Your king is a zombie, isn’t he? Which generation?"

Lin Baici remembered Dae Jang Geum saying that Li God Doctor had taken his apprentice to treat the king, only to return with the apprentice dead.
