the last gentleman

Chapter 48 Finalized
The description related to [Open Source] can't help but remind Yi Chen of the past in the lake, the terrifying existence he saw in the Abyss of Fish Scales.

but,

According to Yi Chen's recollection of that scene,
The one who exists in the abyss may reach a level above Kaiyuan... a special level that is deeper and older.

There is a certain connection with the origin of the disease.

……

Snapped!
The supervisor snapped his fingers.

Signal the end of the hourglass and seal the document at the same time.

"As you can see, the behind-the-scenes of the "False Moon Incident" corresponds to an open-source patient, whose pathological characteristics are closely related to the 'month', and belong to a rare and special species.

The ability to conceal himself beyond the norm allows him to completely hide from the human world, and eventually lead to a terrible event that nearly destroys the city.

but,

The open source patient has been beheaded, and the fake month event has passed two months and was cleaned up a week ago.

All you have to do is go to the abandoned clinic and see if the last vial of the elixir is still there. "

Captain Edmund tried to ask something deeper:
"Can you provide us with information about the secret medicine?"

"Only when you successfully bring back the secret medicine and complete the task, will you be informed of the 'partial information' 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 listed as an important secret among organizations because of its 'special effects'. "

While speaking, the supervisor took out four Polaroid cameras and an important photo.

What is shown in the photo is the 'secret medicine' exclusively developed by the Twilight Clinic.

The mottled glass bottle was filled with a silvery liquid, and the oak cork at the mouth of the bottle was covered with disgusting stains. From the yellowed label on the bottle body, a line of handwritten, crooked handwriting could be seen.

"Twilight Clinic's original research and development - Twilight Silver Liquid" - Dr. DM Mycroft.

The director's fingers tapped on the surface of the photo continuously, like tapping on a telegraph:

"According to the shape of the medicine bottle in the photo, find the secret medicine left behind... If you can't find it after searching the clinic, take pictures of every corner to prove that the secret medicine has been stolen.

It's that simple, if there is no problem, you can start now. "

Edmund responded immediately: "We are going to leave tomorrow."

"No problem, you are newcomers after all! As long as this task is done before the end of this month... If there is nothing else, today's talk will come to an end.

Wish you guys good luck! "

Just when everyone was about to get up and leave the table,
Yi Chen, who had been in a state of thinking, suddenly interjected:

"I have a question... Are all the contents of this document true?"

The supervisor who had already turned his back was a little stunned for a moment, then turned his head again:
"Oh? Do you think the information I personally gave is false?"

"It's just that there is an invisible sense of disobedience in an overview."

"What I give you is only 'partial information'. A lot of confidential information has been removed. In order to fill in the gaps and maintain the readability of the article, it can only be artificially modified and supplemented... A slight sense of incongruity is normal.

Do you have any other questions? "

"Gone."

The supervisor was quite a nice person, he personally sent the four of them out of the [Gentleman's Hall], and waved his hand very friendly when they were parting.

Looking at the backs of the four of them, he muttered in a low voice:

"How far can the acceptors of the first gentleman and the three outstanding newcomers who have received the blue letter go?"

Fine-tune the inclination angle of the top hat,

Turning back to the Gentlemen's Hall,

Just 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 Bai Xiao? Why come to me when you have time? Do you want to accept dark missions?"

Chamberson didn't answer the call, but asked straight to the point:

"I heard that you handed over the task involving the "False Moon Incident" to William, Edmund and others? "

"I'm just offering an option, and the choice is theirs to make."

Hearing this, Chamberson stepped directly in front of the supervisor.

Although the two are about the same height, Chamberson's aura completely overwhelms each other.

"Aggie, we both know each other.

As the director of the hall, you should be more aware of the importance of talents than me... The false moon incident is not completely over, even if it is only a 'very small possibility', once it happens, they will all die. "

Director Edge leaned back slightly, and responded with a smile:

"I just arranged the tasks according to the "algorithm". The level of their team is in line with the task of retrieving the secret medicine, that's all.

Of course, considering the negligible potential risk,
I will arrange idle high-ranking gentlemen to observe in secret, and if there is a danger that far exceeds the mission itself, I will do my best to ensure their safety. "

"No need to make arrangements, I'll be in charge... Wait!"

Chamberson suddenly realized something, "You kid, you guessed from the beginning that I would intervene in this matter, right?"

Director Edge quickly raised his hands with an innocent face, "Huh? I didn't say anything! Since Professor Chamberson happens to have time, I don't need to arrange other people."

Snapped!
The claw-like palm rests on the supervisor's shoulder.

"Ai Ji, you seem to be very free recently? You still have time to go downstairs and personally receive the new gentlemen... Why don't we both guarantee the safety of these little guys?
Anyway, they just went to the Twilight Clinic to retrieve a bottle of secret medicine, so there wouldn't be much delay. "

Ai Ji, who wanted to find an excuse to refuse, suddenly felt a wave of killing intent.

"Well~ that's fine! It's really quite empty recently.

These little guys won't leave until tomorrow, so let me go tonight, Professor Chamberson? "

The voice just fell,

Only a white feather was left floating on the supervisor's shoulder, and Chamberson had disappeared.

"Hey, forget about it.

I didn't expect this white owl to value this student so much. It seems that the young man on vacation for half a year really has some [hidden traits] that I haven't been able to see.

Forget it~ Even if you want to satisfy your own curiosity, let's go out with this group of young people. "

……

"Street District"

Edmund paid for it himself, and prepared the necessary necessities for the team to go out of the city, such as various potions, compressed food, camping tents, etc.

When purchasing replacement fuel for kerosene lamps,
Edmund suddenly discovered that the "kerosene lamp" equipped on Yi Chen's waist was just a common civilian item, not suitable for gentlemen to fight.

"William! Your kerosene lamp needs a new one.

This kind of old-fashioned kerosene lamp is easily damaged in battle... and the place we went this time has been completely abandoned, and kerosene lamps are often needed to provide long-lasting light. "

however,
Yi Chen was still immersed in thinking about the task, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

"Huh? Kerosene lamps... Is there anything fancy about this thing?"

"Of course! In such a terrible world, any investigation of the outside world may plunge us into complete darkness, and a kerosene lamp is an essential carry item.

It is also one of the essential items recognized by the organization as a gentleman.

Zion also has many shops that sell kerosene lamps. There is still a lot of time left today. Let's go and pick one together? "

"A high-quality kerosene lamp should be expensive, right?"

Edmund patted his chest, "It doesn't matter~ If you don't have enough money, I can make it up here."

"I will pay you back in the future."

Yi Chen did not refuse,
Since he was born in the cemetery, he has realized the importance of "kerosene lamps".
Looking at my rusty, oversized lamp that creaks when running, I really need to replace it.

Walk into a lamp shop called [Holy Flame of Helios].

I glanced at the price tag on the lower end of the lamp,

Touching the few remaining silver coins in the waistband of his trousers, the idea of ​​fleeing quickly came to Yi Chen's mind.
