Similarly, if the Druid, Ran, or Black Cat alone said it, it wouldn't be as effective as Archie's words.

Because Archie himself is a psychological counselor at the police station, he himself is inextricably linked with the sergeant of the criminal police brigade.

Hearing this, the 'dean' immediately changed his face, but he still bit himself and didn't know anything.

"Mr. Dean, I advise you to think about it carefully." Rann smiled, "After all, the documents in the archives could be destroyed by that fake dean at any time, and now you can only rely on us." ”

The 'Dean' stared at them with a gloomy face, and suddenly said, "What do you want?" Help me get back to my place, I guess there's your purpose. ”

In fact, their goal was only to overthrow Sauron's position......

But the dean would not have accepted that, for he didn't believe in anything related to the mystery.

Archie's face was expressionless: "It depends on what you can provide us?" ”

The 'dean' was not fooled: "If you want to negotiate terms with me, at least let me see the documents, you don't have anything, it's like taking my information, I'm not that stupid." ”

"Don't be so nervous, if it goes well, we're not enemies." "We just need a little help from you...... Think about it, are you here all the time, being mentally ill in the eyes of everyone, or are you gambling on us? ”

The 'dean' was silent for a long time this time, his expression kept changing, and finally made up his mind: "Okay...... bar. ”

Black Cat and Druid couldn't help but high-five in celebration.

[Le, what is this? Official water release? 】

[It's like I can't talk at all, KP has no choice but to let NPCs help.] 】

[Laughing to death, Rann won't interfere when he said yes? This doesn't count as a release into the sea?? 】

The druids didn't care what the audience in the live broadcast room thought, and he stepped forward happily to untie the rope that tied the hospitalist.

Click-

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded from outside the door, and there was a sound of the door opening and closing in the next ward, as if someone had come in to check.

"Oh no, the nurse looks like she's checking the ward." The druid's face changed.

Rann frowned, why did he make rounds at this time, and he clearly remembered that in the rules of the hospital at night, doctors and nurses should not be allowed to enter the ward if they were not invited at night.

At this time, he glanced at the lock of the door of the ward, and his face changed.

The door to the ward in the psychiatric treatment area was unlocked.

The footsteps outside the door were hurried, and it sounded like they had reached the door, Rann and the others had to hide temporarily, the space in the ward was limited, only under the bed, behind the curtains, and the cabinet had room to hide.

The door to the ward opened from the outside, and the nurse strode in, scanning the inside of the ward with a torch of light.

"Did something happen?" The 'Dean' asked as if he had just woken up, opening his eyes in a daze.

"Recently, outsiders have entered the hospital." The nurse said casually, her eyes still scanning the ward, "Have you seen outsiders?" ”

"Nope."

The nurse nodded, didn't say anything, looked around roughly and was about to leave, when suddenly, her eyes converged on the paper basket next to the 'director' bed.

Rann hid behind the curtain, and saw her movements through the small hole, and his heart suddenly chuckled.

When I hid it just now, I was in a hurry, and the black cat accidentally kicked into the trash can and didn't have time to put it away.

There are trash cans outside every bed, but the 'dean' is tied to the bed and can't move, so how did he touch the trash can?

Cold sweat oozed from Ran's forehead as he saw the nurse straighten up and start to walk around the room, the nurse had no face, but Rann seemed to feel a gaze sweeping over him.

Finally the nurse stopped in front of the cabinet.

Oops, this place seems to be Archie's hideout.

Just as the nurse was about to open the cabinet door

At the same time, old Luke, who was lying on the bed, suddenly had a seizure, he rolled off the bed, held his head and screamed.

As if he was afraid that the nurse would not pay attention, he slammed his head on the floor, and soon blood oozed out.

Of course, the nurse was startled by him and hurriedly helped old Luke up, but old Luke couldn't get up by himself, and hit his head on the ground and bled out.

The nurse cursed and went out to call someone, and a group of nurses walked in with a stretcher and tied old Luke to the stretcher and carried him out.

The door to the hospital room opened wide, the nurses' footsteps faded away, and the black cat and the druid rolled out of the bed floor with palpitations.

"Damn, scared me to death, what happened just now?"

Archie was also sweating profusely, and he was about to burst out of the closet.

But what just now? Why did the old man do this?

Archie subconsciously looked at Ran, only to find that Rann was also staring at him thoughtfully.

"Wait, are they all drawn away?" The druid spotted the blind spot, "So let's take advantage of it?" ”

Several people immediately left the ward and walked cautiously outside, and Archie had to suppress the doubts in his heart for a while.

……

in the real world.

Edmund is on a mission with the team, and the frequency of their team's missions has been increasing recently, and the unusual traces he saw when he was on duty were obviously weird.

It seems that everything is portending a bad omen, and Edmund has also noticed that their captain Geffer has been getting more and more agitated recently, but when facing them, the mood is usually very good, if it weren't for Edmund's habit of looking at people's eyes, he probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

At one point, Edmund quietly approached Geffer and asked him where his anxiety was coming from.

"What? You think too much, I don't. Geffre said as usual, but he didn't say anything to Edmund, but he couldn't help but scratch his hair with a calm and determined look.

Thinking of Edmund's combat power and his restrained and sensitive personality, Geffre let out a long sigh: "Well, I've been a little irritable lately...... You didn't tell anyone else, did you? ”

"Nope."

"Well, because of the peculiarities of this business, I don't really want to upset you by saying it," said Geffer, "actually...... This mission is a bit strange. ”

"The content of our mission is to investigate the reasons behind the recent increase in strange people in Arkham City, the level of this mission is D-level, D-level missions generally do not encounter particularly great danger, if the captain judges that the content of the mission has exceeded this level, if the strength of the team is not competent, you can seek rescue from the inspection bureau headquarters, or apply to cancel the mission."

"In the past few days, although we have not encountered a particularly high-level strangeness, but to be honest, the progress of the investigation of this mission is really slow, I reported to the inspection bureau headquarters a long time ago and applied for a change of assignment, but I have not received a reply for a long time."

After that, Geffer couldn't help but sigh again: "It's really strange, in the past, the processing speed of the General Administration was quite fast, and in my experience, there must be some conspiracy behind this city, and I applied for fast track." ”

Edmund didn't speak, his eyes snapping back to what Rann had told him earlier.

Inspection Bureau...... Not necessarily credible.

"Anyway, there is no major problem at the moment, if it really doesn't work, I will mobilize my connections and upper echelons to protest again, don't worry, I will protect you." Geffre patted Edmund on the shoulder.

Edmund didn't speak, but from that day on, the progress of exploring the Dream Gap would unconsciously speed up every night.

He realized that there might soon be a day when it would be useful to fight.

This time it seemed to be an ordinary patrol mission, but the difference was that they had received a report from an informant this time.

"It's weird to have a group of people who don't understand why they would paint some unusual decoration in a small square in the center, and then soon another gang of weirdly dressed thugs would destroy it, and they would fight so often."

It was a report from a member of the public, and a member of the inspector squad had seen it

The traces of the remaining magic circle determined that it was genuine, so their next task became to search for these.

The previous times they were a step late, and it is usually difficult to catch people with surveillance, but today it seems that they are lucky.

When Edmund arrives, he witnesses a fight between the player and the decorator in overalls, on the grounds that the decorator wants to draw a certain pattern on the ground according to the boss's request, but the player destroys it.

Oh no, no, no, it's not like it's going to be a fight.

It was they who really fought.

The members of the inspection team looked at each other, hiding in the corner to observe the situation, and the short-haired woman asked, "Captain, aren't we going to go up?" ”

"No hurry...... Let's take a look at the situation first. Geffel frowned, mainly because he didn't understand the situation now, and was hesitating which side to help.

According to his investigator's intuition, there must be something wrong with this group of people who have nothing to do with the circle in various places, and he also sent pictures and information about the remains of the circle back to headquarters, but there has been no response so far, perhaps it is still under investigation.

But help the player......

To be honest, Geffer was not reluctant, it was not the first time they had encountered this group of strange geeks, and there had been unpleasant conflicts on the previous occasions, such as when they were on a mission and the group suddenly rushed out and made a mess of everything.

Edmund, perhaps the one who knows the most.

He knew that the Outlander organization was hostile to Lord Lann, and he also knew that the player was sent by Lord Lann, and he also knew what the conspiracy of the Outlander group was.

But none of this can be said to the people of the inspection team.

Now there was only one thing he had to do, Edmund lowered his eyes, thoughtful, how could he help Lord Rann?

"Captain, they're coming." Aisha said, clenching the gun in her hand.

When Geffre came back to his senses, he realized that the battlefield was indeed approaching their side, and had to make a decision to either help one or the other or retreat right here.

Gerffer was inclined to retreat, leaving the group dog-eat-dog on their own, and he was about to raise his hand to gesticulate when a cold shot from behind struck the decorator in overalls.

The renovation staff turned their heads angrily and shouted: "There is an ambush, they are in a gang!" ”

"Damn it, let's go!"

Geffre was standing at the front just now, he hurriedly turned around, but he couldn't see who fired the gun, at this time the people in front had already pounced, and Geffre only had to lead his team to draw their guns to fight.

As soon as he hit, Geffer sensed that something was wrong, the strength, combat effectiveness, and fighting skills of this group of people had obvious traces of training, and they were not ordinary people at all!

Geffer's eyes suddenly became serious, and he more than doubled his ruthlessness.

The players were a little confused at first, as they hadn't heard of a rescue, but that didn't stop them from beating the Reservoir Dogs!

The player and the inspection team united, and the decorators, who were still in the upper hand, instantly fell into disadvantage, and the leader flashed a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes, and picked up the steel rod to break through to Edmund's side.

Maybe it's because there are fewer people on Edmund's side, or maybe it's because he thinks Edmund is easier to bully, just at this time Edmund is distracted by other people, and his back is exposed, and it looks like he can easily succeed.

Bang!

Aisha is a leg whip to take the lead

The decorator kicked back: "Be careful! New to the kids. ”

Edmund tilted his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, flipped his wrist, and quietly withdrew the knife that was about to be extended.

"Thank you." He said.

Aisha looked at him with a complicated look and shook her head: "We've written it off, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in a 'special state' before." ”

She paused, "I hate cowardly people in the ranks, because such people tend not to live long. ”

"It's okay." Edmund said, and he knew that this was an explanation, and Geffer had told him privately that Elsa was a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and that she had witnessed the death of two of her teammates, and that it was better to call them out than to die if they were weak-hearted.

"That's it." Aisha patted Edmund with a grin

shoulders, continue to join the battlefield.

Within two minutes, a team of specially trained decorators was suppressed by the player and the inspection team.

The player's leader, Aaron, glanced at Edmund in the group and said to Geffer as if he didn't know him, "Thank you for your help. ”

"It's okay," Geffer reached out and shook his hand, his eyes fixed on Aaron's expression, "but I don't know if I can get an answer, who are these people, and why are you fighting against them?" ”

Hearing this question, Ah Long was stunned: "Don't you know? ”

"Don't know what?" Geffer suddenly had a bad feeling.

"They're conspiring." Aaron pointed to the decorator who had fallen to the ground and passed out, "They are all members of the Outlander Organization, with the purpose of opening the door to the dream world in Arkham, and these circles are probably preparing for their plot...... I thought everyone knew. ”

Looking at Geffre's extremely shocked appearance, Aaron was surprised: "You really don't know anything? ”

The player behind him whispered in the channel.

Player A: Is it really not known, or is it pretending?

Player B: It doesn't look like it's pretending, but from Archie's father's notes, you can see that the inspection bureau may be dark, could it be that you know but don't say it?

Player C: I don't understand, but we're careful.

As if seeing the surprise in Aaron's eyes, Geefer only felt a burning on his face, it had always been the investigators who had dealt with the ignorant crowd before, and it was the first time that the situation had been reversed.

The point is that Geffer has no way to refute it yet, because at the moment they really don't know anything about the situation.

Moreover, the term 'dream world' is also spoken in the mouths of these people, which is not information that everyone can know, and this alone makes their words more credible.

What's even more strange is that the headquarters of the Inspection Bureau, which reacted quickly in the past, also lost information this time.

Geffre pursed his lips, "If you know something, can you share it with us?" ”

The players looked at each other, and finally Aaron said, "Okay, but we're just doing what we're told, we just know that there is an organization called the Outlanders in Arkham City, and we plan to do something bad here, and our purpose is to stop them, and that's it." ”

"Do what you are told? Whose commands are you obeying? ”

"Well, I can't say that."

Geffer wanted to ask again, but found that something was wrong with his surroundings.

When they fought before, there were still some pedestrians watching the excitement on the street, but now, I don't know when, ordinary passers-by are gone.

Instead, suspicious figures appeared around them, each wearing a mask and a black tight-fitting suit that made it easy to move, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not good.

The player was on guard in an instant, and Aaron didn't think much about shooting directly.

In the next second, everyone's faces changed.

The bullet came to a standstill in the air.

There is at least one wizard in this group!

Geffre subconsciously wanted to retreat, the first of the training course of the inspection bureau, when encountering enemies with extraordinary powers, especially wizards, it is best to run quickly when the number of enemies and friends does not reach a disparity in proportion, this is the blood and tears left by the predecessors one by one.

But the players didn't know what a retreat was, and when they realized that there was a wizard inside, the crowd became even more excited and rushed forward with a scream.

"Captain, shall we retreat?" The others hesitated to ask.

Geffer gritted his teeth: "We fight too!" ”

They're investigators, so they can't afford to lose to a layman!

……

Albert casually dropped a corpse in his hand.

The same corpses, there were already many around him, and before these low-level members of the Outlander Organization could react to what was happening, they collapsed in a pool of blood, and their bodies were covered with burn marks.

Albert also had burn scars on his hands, but they soon began to heal on their own, and he licked the scars left on the tiger's mouth and muttered, "There is one more point." ”

Ignoring the surging tiredness in his heart and the weakness that seemed to come from the depths of his soul, he judged the next direction and walked towards another node.

Albert didn't know if the information on the two nodes that Amos said was true, but he didn't have time to judge this anymore.

All he knew was that if the Outlander's plan succeeded this time, everything that had been done before would be in vain.

He couldn't stand the inner torment of 'that incident' again.

When Albert arrived at another node, he was ready to confront the mysterious Amos, but unexpectedly there was no Amos here, but two teams were fighting.

He easily recognized the identity of the strangers from the masks worn by one of the group, and the people on the other side......

After noticing their weaponry, Albert's pupils shrank, and he left without thinking.

Geffre was struggling to resist the attack of the mysterious men, two of the team had already fallen, if it had been in the past, he would have ordered a retreat, but now......

The players on the other side who helped them fell more, but they didn't seem to be afraid of casualties, each of them was a warrior, in this case, how could Guffel have the face to let his team retreat first.

Then you can only count on Edmund......

Geffre couldn't find Edmund now, but he knew that he wasn't fleeing, but hiding in the shadows to find the mysterious wizard, who caused most of their casualties.

Another member of the team fell, Geffer couldn't bear it, and the 'retreat' in his mouth was just about to shout, when Aisha, who was standing next to Geffer to help him cover, suddenly shouted: "Captain! ”

She desperately tried to push Geffer away, but the scope of the wind blade spell was too large, and the left shoulder and half of their bodies were affected by the wind blade, and both of them splattered a meter of blood.

Edmund, who was hiding in the shadows, finally caught the wizard's tail, and after two silvery knife marks, a head was thrown high.

The remaining Outlander members became lambs to the slaughter in an instant after losing the protection of the spell, Edmund entered the flock like a lion, kept killing, and just slaughtered two, he felt that something was wrong, why was the pressure so small?

As soon as he looked up, there was someone other than him who was targeting the group, and the killing methods were much faster than him.

After the two stopped, almost no one at the scene could stand up, and Edmund looked at Albert vigilantly: "I seem to have seen you at the police station?" ”

Instead of answering, Albert said, "Why don't you go and see their injuries?" ”

After confirming that Albert did not appear to have any intention of attacking, Edmund crouched down to check on the captain's injuries.

Fortunately, no one died immediately, Edmund breathed a sigh of relief and gave Geefel and Elsa a a simple bandage, which was more difficult for the players, they fought without regard to their injuries, and several people had lost their breath because of their injuries, and now they are watching the show with relish in the death retention mode.

Edmund didn't know the player's death retention pattern, and after testing the breath of several people, he sighed, stood up and looked at Albert, especially at his black robe, which at first glance looked like the Outlander Order.

"...... the hell you?"

"Has the General Administration contacted you?" Albert took out a sign from his bosom and threw it to Edmund, and asked casually, "I passed on a lot of information back, I should have said that I would send someone over." ”

Edmund cautiously did not take it, still dropped the sign on the ground, and it took a few seconds to pick it up, and the sign had a string of numbers on it, which was the internal code of the inspection bureau.

Albert...... Is it an undercover agent of the Inspectorate?

Edmund thought to himself and replied cautiously, "I haven't heard of this. ”

Suddenly, he shivered, and the hairs on his arms stood on end.

An extremely strong killing intent and an aura full of destruction rose from Albert's body, Edmund didn't know where to poke his point, and hurriedly added: "I'm just a trainee investigator, and I may have some powers that I don't know about intelligence, and I had something wrong some time ago, and I only recently returned to the team...... Maybe our captain knows! ”

The killing intent slowly retracted, and Albert pursed his lips: "I hope so." ”

Say it, him

Walking to the side of the small square, he was about to destroy the circle carved on it.

"Eh, I seem to be late."

Hearing this, Albert slowly turned around and looked at the person with a solemn expression.

With half-length hair, gentle and kind eyebrows and eyes, and the fragrance of flowers all around him, this is a man who will not be vigilant no matter where he appears.

Only a few people know how abnormal he is.

"Amos." Albert narrowed his eyes, "You did it on purpose. ”

"What are you talking about?" Amos said innocently, as if he had only now reacted to the situation around him, and said in surprise, "Why did so many people die?" Wow, these people seem to be ......"

His gaze shifted from the team of inspectors who fell to the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead, to Albert, and said with a smile: "It seems to be your compatriot, have you connected with the big army?" ”

"Sure enough, you know."

"Anyway, it's not unusual for me to know, what you really want to ask is whether the sect leader knows your identity." Amos lifted the corners of his lips, "It's a pity, the answer is - yes!" He knows who you are, and the node mission given to us is probably just a smoke bomb, and the man doesn't trust anyone at all, especially at this critical juncture, and he will only go to the final place alone. ”

Amos tilted his head, as if expecting Albert's reaction, but the blonde man remained expressionless.

"You can't believe it, do you?"

Albert didn't answer him, and anyone with a clearer mind would believe in himself more than this man who was full of lies.

Amos sighed: "Should I say pitiful, or pathetic, you don't think that the inspection bureau really sent someone to the rescue, right?" ”

"Look at them, look at them, a group of ordinary people who don't have the origin of awakening, and a lucky intern," Amos glanced at Edmund, "Do you think this scale is a sign that the inspection bureau attaches importance to the information you give." ”

Albert shuddered.

"Ask him again, what is your captain's mission to enter Arkham City?"

Edmund had been observing the two of them since Amos appeared, and had never spoken, but now that the topic was on his head, Edmund subconsciously looked at Albert, but met his red eyes.

It was a look he knew all too well, a mixture of despair, panic and numbness.

It's like a prisoner waiting for a final verdict in court. ：，，.
