Plague Doctor

Chapter 23 Plague Doctor

After all the experiment preparations were finished, I helped Selvi and the others in the shop while waiting for the sun to set. I also checked the liquor store I just opened next door, many people passing by were interested in this shop. In addition, customers who come to Le Réseau are also recommended by Selvi and others to come here, and customers from noble families who have tasted drinks at Le Réseau have begun to buy other types of liquor too.

'There are some new faces from the noble family here, maybe Count Llyne's family told them about it because of the liquor I gave them before made some other noble families interested. Not surprisingly, these liquors attract the attention of many aristocratic families, considering the quality of liquor here is not so satisfying and liquors like wiskey, vodka and others are new things for them. '

After visiting all business that I have and helping there, I returned to Le Réseau and prepared to close the store.

"Good work today, everyone." I praised Selvi and the others' performance and give them energy drinks. Some of them are new employees, with Selvi's guide they have no difficulty in adapting to the work here.

"Selvi, please tell the children at the orphanage that there will be no training tomorrow because I have some work to do." I left a message to Selvi, I do not want them to practice without supervision.

"Alright Nine, I'll tell them."

The sun began to set and the town darken when we finished tidying up the shop and they prepared to go home.

'I still have to wait for a few more hours, waiting for people's activities to decrease so that I can move freely. I just need to avoid some guards who patrolling at night, after all they only go around on the main road. '

With my experience in the special forces, I am very confident in my ability not to be detected in the dark.

When the town was quiet and dark, I began to walk towards the area where common people lived while avoiding some guards who patrolled the road.

"Right now I only need 3 to 6 people to try the effects of this drug." I continued to search for infected people's houses. To find out if someone in the house is infected is easy enough, just listen to the sound of coughing and crying.

If the cough sounds are heard repeatedly and heavy there is a 60% chance that there is an infected in the house. If it accompanied by the sound of crying and panic, there is 90% chance of being infected and their condition is very bad and even hopeless, they are the right subject for this experiment.

After wandering around for a while, I found two houses that were 90% eligible for infected case and I visited the first house.

* Knock, knock .... *

"* Cough * Yes, wait a minute." I heard a man's voice after knocking on the door of the first house.

Then the door opened and a middle aged man came out.

"Can I help you * cough *" He asked me suspiciously, not surprised if he felt suspicious seeing my appearance wearing a mask like a bird's head.

"Good evening, sir, I'm a doctor. I have a medicine that can cure you and your family's illness, besides that-- "

"Sorry, we don't have money to buy it." he interrupted before I finished my explanation and starts closing the door.

"Wait, wait a minute, let me finish my words." I stop him from closing the door.

"You don't have to pay, I've given this medicine to several people and they've recovered." I explained to him.

"I still don't believe you, how could anyone want to give meds that are very expensive for free. Coupled with your appearance which is very suspicious. "

"Dont worry, I make this medicine myself. I give it for free because I still need some data before I sell it to public, and if the results of this study are satisfying I can sell this med at a cheap price, even ordinary people can buy it. Regarding this outfit, I use it to protect myself from being infected while interacting with patients. Inside this bird's beak is a filter so that the air I breathe is free from disease. " I explained to him, including the function of this dress. Although the original purpose is only to hide my identity.

"Well I will trust you, anyway I have no other choice. With the current high drug prices, we are just waiting for a miracle to recover. " He invited me into his house.

'Perfect, there are 3 people here who are infected, I can give them different doses and make it easier for me observe their conditions.

"Honey, who is that?" A woman who might be the same age as the man asked after seeing me enter their house.

"Even though the clothes are weird, he's a doctor." The man explained.

"Do we have money to pay for a doctor?" the woman asked.

'I'm very sure that woman is his wife.' I nodded my head

"Good evening, madam, I'm a doctor who is researching a medicine for this disease. I will give it to you for free, I just want you to keep it a secret. "

"Isn't this very suspicious? What if the medicine you give turns out to make the situation worse? " that woman still doesn't believe it.

"Dont worry madam, this drug is not dangerous. I have given this medicine to several people and they are now healed, I only need some additional data from your family if you are willing before selling it. " I did not lie with my explanation, I gave it to the children in the orphanage and they are now healed.

"Dear, unfortunately we have no choice but to trust this doctor. At least we still have hope for recovery with the medicine he gave. " The man explained to his wife.

"Alright doctor, please."

I took out drugs A, B, and C which I wrapped in paper from the bag I was carrying.

"Sir, can you get a glass of water and a spoon?" I ask the man.

After he brought what I asked for, I put the medicine in a spoon and gave a little water to make it easy to swallow. I gave the man medicine A with a dose of 10mg, while his wife had medicine B 15mg and his daughter who was still a teenager medicine C 20mg.

"Based on the previous patient, your chances of recovery are around 3 to 6 days. I will visit you every night until you get well, so you don't need to worry. "

"Thank you doc."

"Last thing, I want you to keep this medicine a secret for now."

"Of course doc, we promise not to talk to anyone."

"All right, I'll be back tomorrow night. Good night sir, madam. " Then i went from the first house to the second house.

In the second house I was greeted with the same reaction as before, after I explained to them like i did before they were willing to try the medicine I brought.

By coincidence the number of people in this family is the same as before. With this opportunity I gave them medicine in a different order from before. Their teenage son i gave a low dose of medicine and the father i gave a 20mg dose. With this I can observe the effects of the dosage of these drugs based on their age too.
