the last gentleman

Chapter 63 Invitation to Help

Yi Chen had seen countless false faces during his lifetime, and even his 'intimate' playmates wore a false mask all the time.

If you can't distinguish, you will be reduced to the lowest level of existence.

Therefore,

When Yi Chen talked to the old man in the sewer, he could see the fake mask the other party was wearing in just a few sentences, and it was too obvious to speak of acting skills.

but,

Although the theater owner in front of him is wearing a mask on the outside, his essence is very pure.

There is no false element between words and actions, and he belongs to the same type of person as the innkeeper in Green Lake Town.

This is also the fundamental reason why Yi Chen decided to act seriously.

If we can establish a relationship with 'Yuemin', it will be very beneficial to promote the progress of the mission.

And Yi Chen also read an important message from the drama text just now.

The main person in charge of the Twilight Clinic, Dr. Mycroft, actually met the 'Moonmark'... This information can directly prove Yi Chen's suspicion when he first took over the task, that the false moon incident really has something to do with the clinic.

[Old John Theater], lobby bar.

The boss turned into a bartender and made his best cocktail for everyone - 'Witches and Monsters', named after his favorite play.

Edmund and others seemed a bit cautious because they maintained a neutral relationship with the "patient" for the first time.

Only Yi Chen held a red and black layered cocktail and savored it carefully.

"Mr. John, before I ask you for help, I need to confirm some information.

In the play we performed just now, what is the relationship between Dr. Mycroft and 'Moonmark'? "

"I am not too clear about the matter involving Mr. Yuehen.

What I know has been fully expressed in the drama, I only know that Mr. Moonscar once seemed to be a special patient in the clinic.

To be more specific, I don't know. "

When the boss gives this crucial information,

Edmund and the others were also extremely shocked. They did not expect that the fake moon incident was really related to the clinic... The yearning and respect for the noble profession of "doctor" was hit to a certain extent.

Edmund also interjected at this time,
"When the fake month incident broke out, you were only infected at the initial stage, and you didn't even have independent consciousness... How did you know the relationship between open source patients and the clinic?"

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you... This information is just a peek at some past experiences of Mr. Yuehen when I looked directly at the moon."

At this moment, Dagbert, who was sitting farthest from the bar, gave his thoughts to Dagbert, who rarely spoke.

"The reason why the organization kept the 'false moon incident' as a secret may be related to the corresponding bad deeds that are contrary to the character of a gentleman.

The information shown to us is also modified to deliberately conceal the problems of the clinic. "

These words just gave Yi Chen a thought stimulus, following Dagbert's words,

"That's right! The recovery of the secret medicine is likely to be just the surface of the task. The recovery task assigned to us by the organization may be to test our 'exploration' level.

Can the hidden truth be unearthed from behind the false clues. "

Hear this,

Juliana also nodded slightly, lifted the black veil, and the second person drank the cocktail in the glass.

Captain Edmund also drank and let out a long sigh.

"When I was young, the elders in my family often told me... the disease itself and the external things it affects are not terrible, as long as they are strong enough, they can eradicate the beheading.

The really scary thing is to be sick without knowing it.

Perhaps Dr. Mycroft had already been affected in the process of fighting the disease.

However, let us dig out the truth behind the clinic and discuss it in detail. "

As he spoke, he scratched the needle hole on his neck again, and there were more mouse hairs around him than during the day.

The theater owner naturally noticed this detail, and said softly, "Have you ever had contact with that mouse on the mountain?"

Yi Chen responded: "That's right, the real destination of our visit to [Vener City] this time is the abandoned clinic...the place that needs your help is also there."

"Oh~ so it is."

The boss is also a smart person. Combining the needle wound and the moon skin collection by everyone, he immediately sorted out the ins and outs.

"We, the remaining moonmen, also went to the clinic on the mountain during the confluence, trying to find more moonmen... However, the mouse hiding deep in the ground directly ate our two companions.

mean and insidious,
It seems that for some reason, he has become stronger than us, and he is closer to the "moon".But because of this, he was imprisoned underground and could not escape. "

This is the end of the topic,

Yi Chen immediately seized the opportunity and met the boss's silver pupils:
"Mr. John, would you like to help us kill that mouse? With your 'performance assistance', our chances of winning will be greatly improved."

"my pleasure."

……

It's still early before the time limit of [one week].

After confirming the 'friendliness' of the theater owner, everyone stayed in the theater to rest.

Also need to confirm one thing,

That is to say, whether the influence of the co-location space will affect the urban area, everyone also waited until midnight,
The result is...no.

The ruins of the city in the early hours of the morning were still pitch black, and there was no full moon rising at all.

In this way, it is enough to conclude that the co-located space constructed by the moon is indeed only effective in the Twilight Clinic, and is directly related to Mr. Li deep underground.

The main hall of the theater.

The four of them lay down on the floor here, letting go of their guard.

Edmund's mentality was also completely relaxed, and he chatted with Yi Chen next to him before going to bed.

"Huh~ It's even smoother than expected. William, you have stolen the limelight from me as the captain."

"It's nothing, I'm just better at dealing with others..."

"It's completely different to deal with patients~ how did you do it, or where did you get the experience? You haven't performed a mission in the past six months."

"It was that time in Green Lake Town..."

Yi Chen, who was gradually getting to know everyone, talked more and more, explaining the experience of Green Lake Town once.

"Are you... are you really not afraid of death? How dare you trust a patient you've known for two days without any protection, and let them send you to the [Monitor]?"

“It was a big gamble I took in that situation.

Of course, the premise of gambling also lies in my observation of the two.The brother and sister who keep the inn are similar to the theater owners, and their faces do not wear masks for camouflage.

It was that gamble that made me realize the importance of 'communicating with patients'.

In the follow-up evaluation of us by the organization, the examiners did not deny this behavior, which shows that the organization also agrees to such a special exchange to a certain extent. "

Edmund changed from his usual relaxed and sunny routine, and became quite serious, as if he remembered something.

"Communicating with the sick is not as simple as it seems on the surface~ But all human beings living in this world will instinctively reject the [sick] who have lost their human roots and are like the germs of the world.

This is a kind of physical repulsion that is hard to get rid of. "

Yi Chen replied very calmly, "I don't feel that way, I just use experience to judge whether they can be contacted and whether they are trustworthy."

Hearing such an answer reminded Edmund of something.

"No wonder you were able to complete the acceptance of the "disease crystallization" before becoming a gentleman.

William, you should be the kind of person that grandpa mentioned..."

"who?"

"A person who can fully adapt to this sick world and blend into it easily, but maintains himself... [Madman]."
