Chapter 63: Invitation for Assistance

Yi Chen had seen countless false faces in his lifetime, and even his 'intimate' playmates always wore a false mask.

If it can't be screened, it will inevitably be reduced to the lowest level of existence.

Because of this,

When Yi Chen was talking to the old man in the sewer, he could spy on the fake mask that the other party was wearing in just two sentences, and it was too obvious to have no acting skills at all.

But

The theater owner in front of him, although he wears a mask on the outside, is very pure in nature.

There is no falsehood in words and deeds, and he is in the same category 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 the 'Moon People', it will be very conducive to the advancement of the mission process.

And Yi Chen also read an important piece of information from the drama text just now.

Dr. McCroft, the main person in charge of the Twilight Clinic, actually met Moon Scar...... This information can directly prove Yi Chen's suspicions when he first took over the mission, and the fake moon incident really has a relationship with the clinic.

Old John's Theatre, Lobby Bar.

The boss turns into a bartender and concocts his best cocktail, 'The Witch and the Monster', named after one of his favorite plays.

Edmund and the others were a little reserved because they were neutral with the "sick" for the first time.

Only Yi Chen held the red and black layered cocktail and tasted it carefully.

"Mr. John, there are some information that needs to be confirmed before I ask you for help.

In the play we performed just now, what is the relationship between Dr. McCroft and 'Moon Scar'? ”

"I don't know much about Moonmark-scar.

All I know is fully dramatic, except that Moonscar once seemed to be a special patient in the clinic.

I don't know how specific it is. ”

When the boss gives this crucial information,

Edmund and the others were also extremely shocked, but they didn't expect that the fake moon incident was really related to the clinic...... The yearning and reverence for the noble profession of [doctor] has been impacted to a certain extent.

Edmund also interjected at this time,

"When the False Moon event broke out, you were only in the early stages of infection, and you didn't even have an independent consciousness...... How did you find out about the open source patient-clinic relationship? ”

"Believe it or not...... This information was just a glimpse of Moonscar's past experiences when I looked directly at the moon. ”

At this time, Dagbert, who was sitting at the farthest end of the bar, who had always rarely spoken, gave his idea.

"The reason why the organization made the 'False Moon Incident' classified may be related to the corresponding bad deeds that are contrary to the character of a gentleman.

The information shown to us is also a groomed and deliberately concealed problem with the clinic. ”

These words just gave Yi Chen a mental stimulation, and he followed Dagbert's words,

"That's right! It is very likely that the recovery of the secret medicine is only the surface of the task, and it is very likely that the recovery task arranged for us by the organization is to test our 'exploration' level.

Whether it is possible to dig out the hidden truth from behind the false clues? ”

Hear this,

Juliana also nodded slightly, lifted the black veil, and took a second drink of the cocktail in the glass.

Captain Edmund also drank and sighed.

"When I was a child, the elders in my family used to tell me...... The disease itself and the foreign objects it affects are not terrible, as long as they are strong enough, they can eradicate and kill.

The really scary thing is that you are sick and you don't know about it.

Perhaps Dr. McCroft has long been affected in the fight against the disease.

However, the truth behind the clinic will wait for us to dig out in person and then discuss it in detail. ”

As he spoke, he scratched the pinhole in his neck again, and there was more rat hair around him than during the day.

Naturally, the theater owner also noticed this detail and whispered: "Have you ever come into contact with that rat on the mountain?" ”

Yi Chen responded: "That's right, the real destination of our visit to [Vernal City] this time is the abandoned clinic...... Where you need your help, it's there. ”

"Oh~ I see."

The boss is also a smart person, and combined with the pinhole wound and the fact that everyone collected the moon skin, he sorted out the ins and outs at once.

"We, the remnants of the moonfolk, also went to the clinic on the hill during the confluence to try to find more moonmen...... However, the rat that was hiding deep underground ate both of our companions.

Mean and insidious,

He seems to have somehow become more powerful than we are, and closer to the "moon". But because of this, he was imprisoned underground and could not be escaped. ”

That's it,

Yi Chen immediately seized the opportunity, and his gaze met the boss's silver pupils:

"Mr. John, would you like to help us kill that rat? With your 'performance assistance', our chances of winning will be greatly enhanced. ”

"Gladly."

……

It's still early to reach the deadline of [one week].

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

In addition, one thing needs to be confirmed,

That is, whether the influence of the same space will affect the urban area, everyone has been waiting until 0:00 in the morning.

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.

This is enough to conclude that the cotopic space constructed by the moon is indeed only for the Twilight Clinic, and is directly related to Mr. Li deep underground.

The main hall of the theater.

Here, the four of them set up bunks and took off their guards.

Edmund's state of mind was also completely relaxed, and he had a bedtime chat with Yi Chen next to him.

"Whew~ went more smoothly than expected. William, you've stolen the limelight from me as a captain. ”

"It's nothing, I'm just good at dealing with people......"

"Dealing with patients is completely different~ How did you do it, or where did you get your experience? You haven't carried out a single mission in the past six months. ”

"It's the ...... in Green Lake Town"

Yi Chen, who gradually became familiar with everyone, gradually spoke more, and explained the experience of Green Lake Town once.

"You...... Aren't you really afraid of death? Without any guarantees, trust the patients you've known for two days and let them send you to the Watcher? ”

"It was a big gamble on my part of that situation.

Of course, the premise of gambling is also my observation of the two of them. The brother and sister who run the inn are similar to the theater owners, and they don't wear camouflage masks on their faces.

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

In the subsequent evaluation of us by the organization, the examiners did not deny this behavior, indicating that the organization also agreed with this special exchange to a certain extent. ”

Edmund changed his usual normal day of light sunshine and became quite serious, as if he remembered something.

"Communicating with the sick is not as simple as it seems~ But all human beings living in this world will instinctively reject the [sick] who have lost their roots, just like the world's germs.

This is a physiological rejection that is difficult to get rid of. ”

Yi Chen replied very indifferently, "I don't feel this way, I just judge whether they can be contacted and whether they are trustworthy through experience." ”

Listening to such an answer reminded Edmund of something.

"No wonder you can complete the acceptance of the "disease crystal" before becoming a gentleman.

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

"Who?"

"A ...... [madman] who can fully adapt to this sick world and easily fit in, but still maintain himself."
