Bailey Huerta

A senior instructor at Gethsemane, she has a hobby of "collecting fingers". Whether they are human or sick, as long as they have special features, they can become her collection.

When performing missions, his disciples would often bring back fingers as a flatterer, and if they could satisfy Bailey, they could even get some extra rewards.

She also received training in Gethsemane before becoming an instructor.

Coincidentally, Zed was in the same class as her, and they even had a good relationship in private and had even teamed up together, but later they took completely different paths.

When she saw the disciple trained by Zed, she couldn't help but recall some things in the past, which made her no longer reject this young man who was not from Gethsemane.

When Yi Chen came back, she handed him a bottle of healing potion and asked, "How is Zed doing recently?"

"Although he was imprisoned on the ground floor of the teaching building, the academy would satisfy him with whatever he wanted. He could even conduct various body experiments to continue his exploration of the flesh.

Such treatment made him not care about being imprisoned.

He is not only providing me with physical training, but is also responsible for teaching the Pathology course for our class."

Hearing this, a hint of melancholy flashed across Bailey's light green eyes.

"It's much better than I thought. It's a pity... this guy's eyes are broken. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to go further and not be confined to Zion."

"Are you on good terms with Mr. Zed?"

Bailey gave Yi Chen a look that told him to shut up, ending the topic. "Okay, now let's talk about what's going on between you two."

"good."

When Yi Chen just sat down at the desk, his right hand was grabbed by Bailey, who used a monocle to observe the shape of his five fingers and read the information contained in them.

“I’ve worked in cemeteries before and never had to deal with hand maintenance.

However, the proportions of the finger joints are appropriate, the nails are of moderate thickness, and the color is a single color... fingers that are above average, barely acceptable."

When Instructor Bailey loosened his hand, Yi Chen quickly pulled his hand back, fearing that the other party would suddenly cut off one of his fingers as a collection.

"Don't worry, I won't take the fingers of a living person."

Bailey then opened the second drawer on the right side of the desk.

He took out a stack of black documents and after careful selection, pulled out one of them.

"There aren't many 'troubles' to deal with recently, and this is the only one suitable for you."

After taking the black file, Yi Chen saw a task format that was completely different from the one in the Gentlemen's Hall. The first line of the file did not state the task name, but was replaced by keywords.

Keywords: forest, church, investigation & massacre, ashification, group action

Introduction:

A few months ago, a group of small groups emerged in the village of Shepherd in Jose Valley. They were supported by the villagers and established a church in the valley, calling themselves the New Life Church.

There was nothing unusual in the first few months. The village still abided by the "rules" set by the organization, and the amount of crops and meat products submitted each month increased.

Until two weeks ago, the trees around the village grew wildly overnight, forming a structure similar to a city wall, completely cutting off all contact with the outside world.

It is still growing even now, affecting the ecological environment of the entire Jose Valley.

The organization has sent some gentlemen to temporarily station outside Jose Valley to investigate the abnormal situation in the forest.

At present, the internal area surrounded by the tree wall has undergone gray-erasion, and has an obvious gray-domain evolution trend.

Please go to the Black Eye Outpost in Jose Valley and work with the group of gentlemen stationed there to find out the situation of the village and church groups, bring back key clues, and try to eliminate the source of the graying.

Afterwards, corresponding rewards will be given according to the difficulty of the event.

There are no mission names or difficulty levels, just instructions for action.

According to the geography books Yi Chen had read before,

The so-called Jose Valley is about three or four hundred kilometers away from Zion. It is a valley forest surrounded by mountains with rich and diverse vegetation and animals, accompanied by some relatively primitive villages and tribes.

but,

With the beginning of the Pathological Era, most villages began to decline, and some small villages were even "hollowed out" within a few days, without any trace of people.

Only a few large villages are still surviving, but their population is still decreasing.

It was not until the organization intervened and formulated relevant rules for the village that the villagers were finally able to avoid illness and death to a certain extent and barely survive in the village.

The villages would pay 10% of their livestock and crop products to Zion every year in exchange for indirect protection from the gentlemen.

Yi Chen whispered, "The New Church... you don't know the number of people and the relevant situation?"

Bailey crossed her long legs and polished her fingernails with a knife.

“I will not provide such boring and tedious information. Wait until you arrive at the Black Eye Base and ask the gentleman in charge of investigating this matter there.

However, that group of people are really useless. They have spent so much time but still have not been able to solve the problem, forcing us in Gethsemane to arrange personnel to provide support.

If you two hadn't come today, this task would have been given to someone else."

At this time, Jin suddenly raised a strange question:

"Instructor, has any gentleman ever died in this forest or in the village?"

"Two teams of gentlemen completely lost contact when they were conducting an internal investigation through the tree wall. I have no idea whether they are dead or not."

“Missing contact… Interesting.”

This was Jin's only question, and he even became a little excited.

Yi Chen still has some considerations and needs, "Can you provide us with the rules of Shebolt Village?"

"You can go directly to the Gentlemen's Hall to get a copy of the relevant rules. If you don't want to waste time, go directly to the Black Eye Base, where there must be a copy of the relevant rules.

If there are no problems, you can leave now."

Jin could no longer sit still, and pulled Yi Chen by the sleeve and dragged him towards the door.

Just then,

Instructor Bailey suddenly added, "I remembered something, Jin, you go out for a while.

I had a chat with William alone, after all, it was his first time to carry out a mission as part of our team."

"All right."

Jin waved his little hand and said goodbye to Yi Chen temporarily.

Wait until the secret door is closed,

Yi Chen only felt his tie being grabbed and pulled towards the desk.

Instructor Bailey's face was almost right in front of him.

“I just want to remind you that the little guys who teamed up with Jin some time ago, even the gentlemen who were a year older than her, were all injured without exception and the injuries were serious. The worst one has died.

She can be extremely uncontrollable at times.

The area you touched this time has been deeply grayed out, and it may even turn into a gray area during your investigation. If she has impulsive behavior without considering the consequences and has a tendency to actively touch the danger of death, you need to take the initiative to curb it.

If you can come back intact, you two can form a long-term partnership in the future, and I will support you.

Jin is one of the most talented executioners I have ever seen. The only thing she lacks is controllability... I hope you can become the most important "control gear" in her body."

"Since I have chosen to work with Jin, I will do my best."

"Well, there is one more thing. Please give my regards to Zed when you have time, if that guy still remembers me."

"No problem! Ms. Bailey, do you know what's wrong with Mr. Zed's eyes?"

“Once in the depths of the gray zone, this guy paid a heavy price for his reckless behavior... But, it was because of his madness that the rest of the team, including me, survived.

Stop talking nonsense! Let’s go.”
