Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 843

Chapter 843 The Conundrum at Cadmus Lake

Matthew thoughtfully looked at Crystal for a moment before he corrected as he slowly shook his head, “No, the problem traces back to Cadmus Lake!”

As she was taken aback by this revelation, she asked, “Why?”

He did not elaborate any further. The case in hand had something to do with the voodoo clan in Orleans. In truth, he would rather Crystal stay out of the matter entirely because the situation was somewhat similar to the one that happened to Leanna’s best friend.

These centipedes were free-range, and unless one intentionally consumed them, they would not attack without any instructions from the one who raised them.

That being said, such a presumption wouldn’t necessarily apply to patients whose bodies had naturally lured these centipedes.

In particular, this patient had gone fishing with a few of his friends, but he was the only one being poisoned, which showed that he was essentially a worm bait.

Matthew presently glanced at the time and saw that it was premature for him to visit Cadmus Lake. Therefore, he proceeded to check on two other patients—one of whom had centipedes attacking his system and the other a strange ailment.

After having diagnosed them, Matthew quickly worked to attend to the patient with the strange ailment and cure him, but he paid extra attention to the other one suffering with the centipedes.

It was after Matthew had run a thorough check on that patient that he discovered yet another distinct source for these centipedes—Pinehills, which was nestled within the South Suburb, and on the map, the locality of which happened to be in close distance to Cadmus Lake.

Upon realizing this, he abandoned his plans to head over to Cadmus Lake tonight. Given how close the region was to Pinehills, it could only mean that the centipedes raised here were the work of two persons who definitely knew each other.

If Matthew were to visit Cadmus Lake as planned, he would have to concurrently confront those two persons. More to the point, the information he currently had now was from the diagnoses, so there was no telling whether there were other Orleanians involved.

With that in mind, he decided that he would curate an elixir for his own protection before confronting these centipede-raising folks.

When he got off work that night, he immediately returned to Lakeside Garden to start on the elixir.
