The description related to [Open Source] couldn'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 memories of that scene,

The one who exists in the abyss may have reached a rank above the open source...... It is a deeper, older special rank.

There is a connection to the origin of the disease.

……

Syllable!

The director snapped his fingers.

Signal the hourglass to end the timer and seal the file.

"As you can see, behind the scenes of the 'False Moon Incident' corresponds to an open-source patient, whose pathogenesis is closely related to 'Moon', and belongs to a rare special species.

His ability to conceal beyond the norm allowed him to completely hide among humans, eventually causing a terrible event that nearly wiped out the city.

But

The Open Source patient has been killed, and two months have passed since the False Moon incident and was cleaned up a week ago.

All you have to do is go to the abandoned clinic and make sure the last bottle 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 told the 'partial information' of whether the secret medicine is suitable for you.

The only thing I can tell you at the moment is that

The secret elixir developed by the Twilight Clinic has been classified as an important inter-organizational secret due to its 'special effects'. ”

As he spoke, the Director pulled out four Polaroid cameras and an important photograph.

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, the oak stopper on the mouth was covered with disgusting stains, and a line of handwritten, crooked handwriting could be seen on the yellowed label.

"Twilight Clinic's original research and development - Twilight Silver Liquid" - Dr. D.M McCroft.

The Director's fingers tapped on the surface of the photograph as if they were tapping on a telegraph machine:

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

It's as simple as that, and if you don't have any problems, you're ready to go. ”

Edmund immediately responded: "We're ready to leave tomorrow." ”

"No problem, you're new after all! Just get this task done by the end of the month...... If nothing else, that's the end of today's conversation.

Good luck! ”

Just as 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...... Is all the content of this information true? ”

The supervisor, who had already turned his back, was stunned for a moment, and turned his head again:

"Oh? Do you think the information I gave in person is fake? ”

"It's just that there's an invisible sense of disobedience when you look at it all over."

"You are only given 'partial information', a lot of confidential information has been removed, and in order to fill in the gaps and maintain the readability of the article, it can only be artificially modified and supplemented...... It's normal to feel a slight sense of disobedience.

Still have questions? ”

"It's gone."

The director was a very good person, and personally sent the four of them out of the [Gentleman's Hall], and waved his hand very kindly at the moment of parting.

Seeing the backs of the four people, he muttered in a low voice:

"How far can the first gentleman's acceptance, and the three fine newcomers who received the blue letters, go?"

Fine-tune the tilt angle of the high cap,

Turning back to the Gentlemen's Hall,

Just as the Director walked back to the upper level,

Professor Chamberson, with an owl on his shoulder, was already waiting for him here.

"Oh? Isn't this the famous white owl? Why do you have time to come to me, do you want to take on a dark mission? ”

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

"I heard that you gave the task related to the False Moon Incident to William, Edmund, and others to deal with?"

"I just offered an option, and the choice was made by them."

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.

"Agey, the two of us know each other.

As the head of the hall, you should know the importance of talent better than me...... The False Moon event is not completely over, even if it is only 'very likely', and if it does, they will all die. ”

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

"I'm just following the 'algorithm' mission, and their squad is up to the task of retrieving the elixir, that's all.

Of course, considering the negligible potential risk,

I will arrange for idle high-ranking gentlemen to observe in secret, and if there is a danger that goes far beyond the mission itself, I will do my best to ensure their safety. ”

"No arrangement, I'll take care of it...... Wait a minute! ”

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

Director Edge hurriedly raised his hands with an innocent expression, "Huh? I didn't say anything! Since Professor Chamberson happens to have time, I don't need to arrange for anyone else. ”

Syllable!

The claw-like palm of the hand rests on the supervisor's shoulder.

"Age, you seem to be idle lately, huh? There was still time to run downstairs and receive the newcomer gentleman in person...... Why don't we both work together to guarantee the safety of these little guys?

Anyway, they just went to the Twilight Clinic to retrieve a bottle of secret medicine, and they didn't have much delay. ”

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

"Hmm~ It's okay! It's been a bit empty lately.

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

As soon as the words fell,

Leaving only a white feather floating on the director's shoulder, Chamberson was gone.

"Hey~ a little less.

I didn't expect this white owl to value 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 haven't been able to see.

Forget it~ Even if it is to satisfy your curiosity, accompany this group of young people to have fun. ”

……

"Street District"

Edmund paid for his own money to prepare the necessary supplies for the team to get out of town, such as various potions, compressed food, camping tents, and more

When I was about to buy a replacement fuel for kerosene lamps,

Edmund suddenly discovered that the "kerosene lamp" equipped on Yi Chen's waist was just an ordinary civilian item, not suitable for gentlemen to fight.

"William! Your kerosene lamp needs to be replaced with a new one.

This old-fashioned kerosene lamp can easily be damaged in battle...... And the place we went to this time has been completely abandoned, and many times kerosene lamps are needed to provide long-lasting light. ”

however

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

"Huh? Kerosene...... Is there anything special about this thing? ”

"Of course! In such a terrible world, where any investigation into the outside world threatens to plunge us into complete darkness, kerosene lamps are an essential item to carry.

It is also recognized as one of the essential items for gentlemen in the organization.

Zion also has quite a few shops that specialize in kerosene lamps, so there's still 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, "It doesn't matter~ If you don't have enough money, I can make up for it here." ”

"I'll pay you back from now on."

Yi Chen didn't refuse,

From the time he was born in the cemetery, he realized the importance of "kerosene lamps".

Looking at my own rusty, bulky, and rattling lamp, I really need to replace it.

Walk into a lamp shop called "The Flame of Helios".

Glancing at the price tag at the lower end of the lamp,

Touching the few silver coins left between the waistbands of his trousers, the idea of escaping quickly gave birth to Yi Chen's mind.
