The events at Jose Valley, Shepherd Village, and New Life Church touched the upper echelons to some extent, and several supervisors were jointly responsible for verifying the events.
The staff at the Gentlemen's Hall also conducted private inquiries against Yi Chen and Jin three times within five days.
The last verification was conducted by the supervisor in person.
The supervisor who came to see Yi Chen alone was none other than Mr. Edge, who had some connections with him and liked to wear his hat tilted.
When he took over the review of the incident a few days ago, he saw the name of William Behrens on the list of incident handlers and immediately took the initiative to ask to be responsible for this person.
Out of apology for the Twilight Clinic investigation, recalling Yi Chen's gentlemanly character of not fearing death and rejecting Yue Hen at the last moment,
Aiji completely believed Yi Chen's description of the events and even took the initiative to "beautify" the records.
He only asked one question, why the intermediary through which Yi Chen was involved in the incident was Gethsemane.
After getting the answer, he did not ask any more questions, but he still suggested that Yi Chen should try to accept tasks through the "Gentleman's Hall" in the future. This would be more beneficial for a gentleman like him who grows through normal channels.
"Since the impact of this incident is beyond our expectations, the final assessment will take a few days. Don't worry, you have done a good job and your reward will not be less."
"Thank you, Director Aggie."
Edge held his hat to the side with one hand, picked up the gentleman's cane at the door, and immediately returned to the hall to hand in the documents.
Two days later,
Professor Chamberson personally came to Yi Chen's dormitory and informed him that the event assessment and reward distribution would take place in a few hours, also in the conference room of the Gentlemen's Hall.
The reason why he came in person was that a series of special preparations needed to be made before departure to avoid being exposed.
The two of them arrived at the meeting room at the right time.
Four executives, including Agee, are already in place.
Jin had already taken her seat in advance. She was wearing a makeshift suit that did not include the "Gentleman's Leather" and a newly made colorful mask and sat at a seat near the entrance.
The seat next to her had been pulled out in advance, as if waiting for Yi Chen to sit down.
As soon as Yi Chen sat down, Jin grabbed his wrist and inserted red threads into it, accompanied by Jin's whisper:
"Didn't you say you would come to see me? Why haven't you heard from me in the past few days?"
"There are many things going on in the academy, and they will be gone after the evaluation is over."
Jin tilted the mask over, confirmed with his eyes, and then withdrew his hand.
She was actually looking forward to the upcoming reward and whispered:
"There are actually four supervisors participating in the evaluation. We should be able to get a very good reward, right? Maybe it will be just right for my weapon manufacturing. I hope these people can be generous."
After a private discussion, we returned to the table.
The assessment result of the incident was also given by Director Aggie.
“First of all, I would like to thank you very much for being a support team and arriving at the scene in time to effectively contain the situation that had already become serious.
Your performance in this incident has completely surpassed that of new gentlemen. We are very happy to have talents like you working for the organization, and the organization will naturally provide the most generous resources to train you.
After the subsequent investigation team went to Jose Valley to verify the on-site situation, and we summarized and evaluated the information multiple times over the past few days.
We set the difficulty of this support event to ★★★★★ on the human difficulty level.
The deeds will be directly recorded in your personal file.
The specific rewards are as follows:
1. Each person receives 8,000 silver coins.
2. Mission points (important) +1.
3. The poultry you bring back have passed the pet review. If you agree to the organization selling the pets, we will distribute the silver coins obtained from the sales to you in a 30:70 split.
4. You can go to the Gentleman's Treasure House and choose an item that matches your current level or a material of a higher level.
5. Permission to see the First Gentleman. "
When giving out the rewards, Jin stood up and gave the supervisors a rather exaggerated gentleman's salute, but he didn't know that underneath the mask was a face distorted with excitement.
"You are so generous! The reward is higher than I expected... Thank you so much."
Yi Chen also realized the importance of the reward, which was much higher than that of the Dusk Clinic.
I am afraid it is directly related to preventing the spread of the new gray area, forcibly preventing the birth of open source patients and erasing them.
"Jin, you just need some materials, so I'll give you the qualification to go to the treasure house."
"That's not good~ You are the main driving force behind the investigation."
"Just give it back to me when you have the chance. I don't need materials or props urgently right now."
There is another reason why Yi Chen voluntarily gave up his qualification to enter the treasure house, which is hard to explain, that is, he has already obtained the most valuable reward in this event - the relic.
"Really~ It makes others owe you some favors again."
After Jin accepted Yi Chen's kindness, he stood up again and turned to the supervisor:
"Oh, by the way, let's forget about my meeting with the First Gentleman. I don't like skins with too high concentrations. Just give me a normal skin that exudes the atmosphere of the old world.
Or let the First Gentleman give William some more skin."
Director Edge responded: "The First Gentleman will consider how much to give. Since you gave up the opportunity, we will issue you a 10×10cm ordinary leather as compensation."
Jin shrugged, not caring at all.
Yi Chen seemed to know why Jin did this. When the two of them were riding in a carriage out of the city at the beginning, Jin had expressed her opinion of Pi.
In her eyes, Zion was just a springboard, and she herself did not want to be bound by it. When she was strong enough, she would stay away from here, or even leave this continent.
The meeting is over.
One of the supervisors took Jin to the Gentleman's Treasure House to select the reward.
Chamberson and Manager Edge will take Yi Chen to meet the First Gentleman again.
Before parting, Jin also used her eyes to signal Yi Chen to remember their agreement. After dealing with the reward, remember to look for her.
Godskin Mansion
This time, when Yi Chen walked in the secret passage leading to the deeper level, he no longer relied on Xiao Pu Tao.
As wisps of white smoke emerged from his head, he resisted the influence of the whispers from deep within, but his skin still felt uncomfortable, as if it would fall off his body at any time.
Manager Aggie also felt a little uncomfortable walking here, and couldn't help but scratch his wrist to stop the itching sensation under his skin.
He could actually choose not to come along and just leave everything to Chamberson.
But out of curiosity, Aggie still wanted to see how much skin Yi Chen could get from the First Gentleman.
During the descent, he used a special voice transmission method to ask Chamberson alone in his consciousness:
"It's been less than a year since you entered the city and you've met the First Gentleman twice. You've really found a good student, Bai Xiao~ But there is a problem here. I'm sure you've noticed it, right
Such an outstanding performance would definitely attract the 'attention of the gods'. As soon as he walked in the mansion, many clergymen cast strange looks at him.
If the student you have worked so hard to train is really chosen by the God Skin, what will you do then? 』
"I will consult William in advance and help him do the right thing... It's too early to talk about this now. Do your own thing, Aggie."
Supervisor Edge adjusted his top hat slightly and stopped talking.
Deep inside the official residence - underground church
The First Gentleman, Alexis King Claude, is still hanging on the altar.
Perhaps it was because he smelled the scent of Yi Chen's skin that he opened his eyes in advance and looked at this familiar young man.
She wasn't surprised.
It seemed as if he had foreseen the young man's return.
As the First Gentleman quickly glanced over the report of Agee's deeds,
Her eyes between her white hair looked deeply at Yi Chen, and her voice filled the underground church.
"Come here."
As usual, I climbed the stairs and prepared to accept the 'skin exchange'.
However, the First Gentleman did not directly touch his palm, but asked him something that the supervisors had never asked before.
"During your time dealing with the New Church, were you ever led by some medium and had your consciousness travel to a special area, an area of the old world that symbolizes 'new life'?"
These words made Yi Chen stunned, but he didn't dare to deny it directly in front of the First Gentleman. The other party might have seen something from him.
“I’ve been there… When I killed the Holy Fetus, my consciousness was drawn to a mucus area.
There, the earth was covered with new mucus, the sky was filled with umbilical cord-like tubes, and there was a sheep's head like the sun.
Just as I was about to observe the scene inside the sheep's head, my companion woke me up. "
Yi Chen calmed himself down and used this half-true and half-false statement to respond to the First Gentleman.
"Is that so? I can feel a strong smell of new black water from your body, especially in the heart area..."
As soon as he finished speaking, whoosh!
Yi Chen's chest was directly dug open by the First Gentleman's old arm growing on his shoulder blade. The process could not be seen at all, exposing his heart that had just been reconstructed not long ago.
Looking at the heart with plant roots clinging to its surface, the First Gentleman asked again:
"The heart you were supposed to be missing was not reconstructed by the organization's doctors, right?"
Critical moment,
A black ball of flesh emerged, with new flesh strands coming out of its mouth. "This is the heart that I reconstructed by combining it with William's plant abilities. When we killed the deformed Holy Fetus, I gained certain new abilities by eating its eyeballs."
The First Gentleman looked at the black creature and identified it as a product of the cemetery managed by the organization.
After nodding slightly,
The First Gentleman's gaze penetrated every part and corner of Yi Chen's body, examining him carefully.
Nothing unusual was found, and no trace of the umbilical cord was found.
(Before accepting the incident assessment and receiving the award, Chamberson left Yi Chen's umbilical cord relic in the dormitory in a flesh safe out of caution. Now it seems that such caution is indeed useful.)
The review is over.
The First Gentleman stretched out his right arm and touched the wound on his heart, instantly restoring the wound to its original state.
At the same time, Yi Chen also had an extra 15cm×15cm "Gentleman's Leather" in his hand, which was more than the amount given during the rookie assessment.
“An additional gift as compensation for the damage to your body… After all, the being that controls the black water life is extremely dangerous and is very proficient in enslaving the flesh.
I hope you will have better performance in the future.”
"Thank you for your gift."
Yi Chen bowed his head and thanked them. He used a similar method to stabilize his heartbeat at a normal frequency, stepped down from the altar, and left with the professor and the supervisor.
I don't know if it was his illusion.
During the contact just now, Yi Chen could clearly feel that the First Gentleman was in significantly worse condition than the last time they met. He also looked older, even as if he had aged five or ten years.
