Chapter 77: Chapter 77

Yi Chen organized all the data he had pieced together in his mind and presented it like a book displayed on his retina. He began his account:

“[Twilight Clinic] core material for producing ‘Twilight Silver Liquid’ is derived from torturing patients. By using various inhumane instruments of torment, the patients are driven to the limits of their physical and mental endurance. At this point, their brains produce a unique secretion referred to in the clinic as ‘Pathogenic Death Substance.’

Not every patient can regularly or consistently produce this substance, and even those who can often yield only small amounts.

It usually takes 2–3 patients, subjected to continuous torture for a month, to produce enough raw material for one bottle of the secret medicine.

Since the clinic is required to submit a sufficient quantity of the medicine to the organization every quarter while ensuring its quality, these rigid demands indirectly contributed to the pathological development of the Twilight Clinic.”

Yi Chen’s opening remarks subtly pointed some criticism toward the organization itself, causing displeasure among the supervisors present. However, Dr. Vesalius remained unfazed, appearing more interested in the following details.

“[Twilight Clinic] is relatively small in scale. Though I am not familiar with its precise organizational structure, my preliminary estimate is that it operates as a small or at best medium-sized clinic.

The internal staff is limited, and the number of patients hunted by apprentices falls far short of the clinic’s operational needs.

Even so, the clinic’s methods did not change. Lorien was subjected to brutal and inhumane torture to extract raw materials.

The ‘Pathogenic Death Substance’ produced by Lorien was over three times the yield of ordinary patients and could even be extracted cyclically. As long as he was given enough time and food to recover, he could be repeatedly harvested for raw materials.

Gradually, during this prolonged torture, Lorien further developed and integrated with the pathogen on a deeper level.

One day, he successfully escaped the clinic, using his unique pathological characteristic to conceal himself in the city and continue growing in secret.

Eventually, he evolved into an [Open-Source Patient], possessing the rare and unique pathological attribute: [Moon].

He orchestrated the infamous ‘False Moon Incident,’ which devastated the entire city of Vinal, leaving it in ruins.

According to the current information, Moonscar Lorien has a ‘Dual-Body’ structure. During the False Moon Incident, only one of these bodies perished. The other, coincidentally, is the one we encountered. And that brings us to where things stand now.”

As Yi Chen concluded his report, the supervisors present wore a range of expressions.

It was difficult to imagine a newcomer managing to uncover so much of the Twilight Clinic’s dark truth in just four days.

Dr. Vesalius was the first to raise a question:

“I’m curious. Based on your account, there didn’t seem to be much time to investigate the truth behind the clinic. And the pathological gentleman, Mr. Lee, didn’t seem to divulge much before engaging in direct conflict with you.

How did you manage to obtain such detailed information?”

“As long as a patient’s brain remains sufficiently intact and fresh, my profession ability allows me to read the information within.

However, most of the time, these are fragmented memories. Only with a solid foundation of investigation can I piece them together and reconstruct the full picture.”

“Hmm… an impressive skill.”

Yi Chen showed no particular excitement, nodding casually in acknowledgment.

“If you encounter any questions regarding the use of secret medicine in the future, feel free to visit me at the Hippocratic Grand Hospital.”

With that, Dr. Vesalius pulled a business card from his lab coat and slid it precisely across the smooth conference table to land before Yi Chen.
