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 instrunts of tornt, the patients are driven to the limits of their physical and ntal 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 dicine.
Since the clinic is required to submit a sufficient quantity of the dicine to the organization every quarter while ensuring its quality, these rigid demands indirectly contributed to the pathological developnt of the Twilight Clinic.”
Yi Chen’s opening remarks subtly pointed so 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 dium-sized clinic.
The internal staff is limited, and the number of patients hunted by apprentices falls far short of the clinic’s operational needs.
To maintain normal operations and continue securing the organization’s support, Dr. McCoff made a decision that not only violated gentlemanly conduct but also the very essence of humanity itself.
‘Artificial Disease’
Each month, the clinic conducted random surveys among citizens, targeting unregistered vagrants, refugees, criminals sentenced to more than three months, terminal hospital patients, and even civilians seeking to leave the city of Vinal and relocate elsewhere. These individuals beca direct targets of the clinic.
These humans were taken to the underground section of the Secret dicine Tower, where they were injected with pathogens collected from [patients]. This process induced deliberate pathological changes in their bodies.
Once these individuals survived and successfully transford into patients, the clinic began extracting ‘Pathogenic Death Substance’ from them.
Through this thod of creating artificial patients, the production of ‘Twilight Silver Elixir’ soared. This increase not only boosted the organization’s funding for the clinic but also earned them additional apprentice slots.
However, before this vile and reprehensible operation could be exposed, the clinic faced internal issues.
A young man nad [Lorien], born with albinism and basal cell carcinoma, had extensive skin ulcerations and necrotic black scabs across his body. Abandoned by local hospitals, he was quickly taken to the clinic and injected with pathogens.
However, the pathogen that entered Lorien’s body rged with his existing diseases, fundantally altering its pathogenic properties. His white hair gained a silver sheen, and his eyes turned silvery as well.
He beca the first recorded case of a ‘Silverized Patient’ in the clinic, marking the origin of Moon Disease.
The physical flaws caused by his albinism vanished entirely, and Lorien swiftly transford into a [patient]—specifically, a "Patient Zero
