The description related to open source made Yi Chen think of the past events in the lake and the terrifying existence he saw in the fish scale abyss.
but,
According to Yi Chen's recollection of that scene,
The one who exists in the abyss is probably at a level higher than Kaiyuan... a special level that is deeper and more ancient.
There is a certain connection with the origin of the disease.
…
Bang!
The supervisor snapped his fingers.
Indicate the end of the hourglass timer and seal the document.
"As you can see, the person behind the 'Fake Moon Incident' is an open-source patient whose pathological characteristics are closely related to the 'moon' and who belongs to a rare special species.
His extraordinary ability to conceal himself allowed him to completely hide among humans, ultimately causing a horrific incident that nearly destroyed the city.
but,
The open source patient has been beheaded, and the fake moon incident has been two months and was cleaned up a week ago.
All you have to do is go to the abandoned clinic and confirm whether the last bottle of secret medicine still exists."
Captain Edmund tried to ask something more in-depth:
"Can you provide us with information about the secret medicine?"
"Only when you successfully bring back the secret medicine and complete the mission will I be told the 'partial information' about whether the secret medicine is suitable for you.
The only thing I can tell you right now is,
The secret medicine developed by the Twilight Clinic has been classified as an important secret among organizations because of its 'special effects'. "
As the supervisor spoke, he pulled out four Polaroid cameras and an important photo.
What is shown in the photo is the 'secret medicine' specially developed by the Dusk Clinic.
The mottled glass bottle was filled with silver liquid. The oak cork at the mouth of the bottle was covered with disgusting stains. A line of crooked handwritten words could be seen on the yellowed label on the bottle.
"Twilight Clinic's original research and development - Twilight Silver Liquid" - Dr. DM McCoff.
The supervisor's fingers tapped on the surface of the photo like a telegraph machine:
“Find the secret medicine left behind based on the pattern of the medicine bottles in the photo… If you can’t find it after searching the entire clinic, take photos of every corner to prove that the secret medicine has been stolen.
It’s that simple, if there are no problems, we can set off now.”
Edmund immediately responded: "We are going to set off tomorrow."
"No problem, you are newcomers after all! Just complete this task before the end of this month... If there is nothing else, today's conversation ends here.
Good luck to you! "
Just as everyone was about to get up and leave the table,
Yi Chen, who had been in a state of thinking, suddenly interrupted:
"I have a question... Is everything in this document true?"
The supervisor, who had already turned his back, was stunned for a moment, then turned his head again:
"Oh? Do you think the information I personally gave you is false?"
“It’s just that there’s an invisible sense of disharmony when you look at it in general.”
"What I gave you is just 'partial information'. A lot of confidential information has been removed. In order to fill in the gaps and maintain the readability of the article, I can only make artificial modifications and supplements... It is normal to feel a little bit out of place.
Any other questions? "
“No more.”
The supervisor was a very nice person. He personally escorted the four people out of the gentlemen's hall and waved goodbye to them in a very friendly manner.
Watching the four people's backs, they all whispered:
"What can the First Gentleman acceptor and the three outstanding new recruits who received blue letters achieve?"
Fine-tune the tilt angle of the top hat.
Turning back to the Gentlemen's Hall,
As the supervisor walked back to the upper area,
Professor Chamberson, with an owl on his shoulder, was already waiting for him here.
"Oh? Isn't this the famous White Owl? How come you have time to come to me? Do you want to accept a dark mission?"
Chamberson did not answer, but asked directly:
"I heard that you gave the task involving the "Fake Moon Incident" to William, Edmund and others to handle?"
"I just provided an option, and the choice was theirs to make."
Hearing this, Chamberson stepped directly in front of the supervisor.
Although the two men are about the same height, Chamberson's aura completely overwhelms the other.
"Aiji, we two know each other.
As the head of the hall, you should know the importance of talent better than me... The Fake Moon incident is not completely over. Even if it is just a 'small possibility', once it happens, they will all die. "
Manager Edge leaned back slightly and responded with a smile:
"I just arranged the tasks according to the 'algorithm'. The level of their team is suitable for the task of retrieving the secret medicine, that's all.
Of course, considering the tiny potential risk,
I will arrange for free senior gentlemen to observe in secret, and if there is a danger far beyond the mission itself, I will do my best to ensure their safety. "
"No need to arrange it, I'll take care of it... Wait!"
Chamberson suddenly realized something. "You guessed from the beginning that I would interfere in this matter, right?"
Director Edge quickly raised his hands with an innocent look on his face. "Ah? I didn't say anything! Since Professor Chamberson happens to be available, I don't need to arrange for anyone else."
Bang!
The eagle-claw-like palm clasped the supervisor's shoulder.
"Aiji, you seem to be quite free recently? You even have time to come downstairs and personally greet the new gentlemen... How about we both guarantee the safety of these little guys
Anyway, they are just going to the Twilight Clinic to retrieve a bottle of secret medicine, which won’t take much time.”
Aiji, who was about to find an excuse to refuse, suddenly felt a surge of murderous intent.
"Yeah, that's fine! I'm quite free lately.
These little guys won't set out until tomorrow, so could you please let me go tonight, Professor Chamberson?"
As soon as the words fell,
Only a white feather fell on the supervisor's shoulder, and Chamberson had disappeared.
"Oh, I forgot a little.
I didn't expect that this white owl actually values this student so much. It seems that the young man who has been on vacation for half a year really seems to have some hidden qualities that I can't see.
Forget it~ Even if it's just to satisfy my curiosity, I'll just go and have some fun with these young people."
…
Street District
Edmund paid for the necessary supplies for the team to leave the city, such as various potions, compressed food, camping tents, etc.
When I was about to buy a replacement fuel for my kerosene lamp,
Edmund suddenly discovered that the "kerosene lamp" equipped on Yi Chen's waist was just an ordinary civilian item and was not suitable for gentleman combat.
"William! You need to replace this kerosene lamp with a new one.
This old-fashioned kerosene lamp can be easily destroyed in battle... and the place we went to this time has been completely abandoned, so kerosene lamps are often needed to provide long-term light. "
However,
Yi Chen was still immersed in thinking about the mission, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Hmm? Kerosene lamps... is there anything particular about this thing?"
"Of course! In such a terrible world, any investigation into the outside world may plunge us into complete darkness. Kerosene lamps are essential items to carry with you.
It is also recognized by the organization as one of the essential items for gentlemen.
There are also many shops in Zion that specialize in selling kerosene lamps. We still have a lot of time left today, so let's go pick one together, shall we?"
"High-quality kerosene lamps should be expensive, right?"
Edmund patted his chest and said, "It doesn't matter. If you don't have enough money, I can make up for it."
"I'll pay you back later."
Yi Chen did not refuse.
Since he was born in the cemetery, he has realized the importance of "kerosene lamps".
Looking at this lamp that is covered with rust, is large in size, and makes creaking noises when it is running, I really need to replace it.
Walk into a lighting shop called Helios's Sacred Flame.
I glanced at the price tag at the bottom of the lamp.
Touching the few remaining silver coins between his belt, the idea of escaping quickly emerged in Yi Chen's mind.
