Chapter 63 Invitation for Assistance

Yi Chen had seen countless false faces during his lifetime, and even his "close" playmates always wore a false mask.

If you cannot distinguish, you will definitely be reduced to the lowest level of existence.

Therefore,

When Yi Chen was talking to the old man in the sewer, he could see the false mask the other person was wearing in just two sentences. It was too obvious and had no acting skills at all.

but,

The theater owner in front of me wears a mask on the outside, but his essence is very pure.

There is no falsehood in his words or actions. He is the same type of person as the innkeeper in Green Lake Town.

This is also the fundamental reason why Yi Chen decided to star in the role seriously.

 If you can establish a relationship with the ‘Moon People’, it will be very beneficial to the advancement of the task process.

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

  The main person in charge of the Twilight Clinic, Dr. Mycroft, actually knows the ‘Moonhen’... This information can directly prove Yi Chen’s suspicion when he first took over the task. There is really a relationship between the fake moon incident and the clinic.

 【Old John Theatre】, front bar.

The boss turned into a bartender and prepared his best cocktail - "Witches and Monsters", named after his favorite play.

 Edmund and others seemed a little cautious because they were maintaining a neutral relationship with the "patient" for the first time.

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

“Mr. John, before asking for your help, I need to confirm some information.

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

“I don’t know much about the matters involving Lord Yuehen.

 What I know has been completely expressed in the drama. I only know that Master Yuehen once seemed to be a special patient in the clinic.

 How specific it is, I don’t know. "

 When the boss gives this critical information,

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

Edmund also interrupted at this time,

“When the False Moon incident broke out, you were still infected in the early stages and did not even have the consciousness of independence... 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 glimpse of Lord Yuehen's past experiences when I looked directly at the moon."

 At this time, sitting at the far end of the bar, Dagbert, who rarely spoke, gave his thoughts.

“The reason why the organization kept the ‘False Moon Incident’ confidential may be related to the corresponding bad deeds behind it that are contrary to the character of a gentleman.

 The information shown to us is also modified and deliberately conceals 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 most likely just the surface of the task. The recovery task assigned to us by the organization may be to test our ‘exploration’ level.

 Whether it is possible to discover the hidden truth behind false clues. "

Hearing this,

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

Captain Edmund also drank and sighed.

“When I was young, the elders in my family often told me that the disease itself and the external objects it affects are not terrible. As long as they are strong enough, they can be eradicated and killed.

The really scary thing is being infected with the disease yourself and not knowing about it.

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

However, the truth behind the clinic should wait for us to dig out it ourselves before discussing it in detail. "

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

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

Yi Chen responded: "Yes, the real destination we came to [Vinal City] this time is the abandoned clinic... The place that needs your help is also there."

 “Oh~That’s it.”

The boss is also a smart man. Combining the pinprick wounds and the collection of moon skin, he immediately figured out the whole story.

“During the rendezvous, we remaining Moon People also went to the clinic on the mountain, trying to find more Moon People… However, the rat hiding deep underground directly ate our two companions.

 Despicable and insidious,

 He seems to have become more powerful than us for some reason, and is closer to the "moon". But because of this, he was imprisoned underground and could not escape. "

 The topic ends here,

Yi Chen immediately seized the opportunity and met his boss’s silver eyes:

“Mr. John, are you willing to help us kill that rat? With the ‘performance assistance’ you provide, our chances of winning will be greatly improved.”

"my pleasure."

 …

 It’s still early until the [one week] time limit.

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

There is also one more thing that needs to be confirmed.

That is, whether the influence of the same space will affect the urban area, everyone also waited until midnight,

 The result is...nothing.

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

This is enough to conclude that the co-space constructed by the moon indeed only affects the Twilight Clinic and is directly related to Mr. Li deep underground.

 The main hall of the theater.

 The four of them laid down on the ground here and took off their guard.

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

“Huh! It went better than expected. William, you have stolen all the limelight from me, the captain.”

“It’s nothing, I’m just better at dealing with others…”

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

“It was that time in Green Lake Town…”

Yi Chen gradually became familiar with everyone, and gradually began to talk more. He explained his experience in Green Lake Town.

"Are you... really not afraid of death? You actually trust a patient you have known for two days and let them send you to the [Monitor] without any guarantee?"

“It was a big gamble for me in that situation.

Of course, the premise of gambling also lies in my observation of the two people. The brother and sister who ran the inn were similar to the theater owners in that they did not wear disguise masks on their faces.

 It was also that big gamble that made me realize the importance of ‘communicating with patients’.

 In the subsequent review of us by the organization, the examiners did not deny this behavior, which shows that the organization also agrees with this special communication to a certain extent. "

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

“Communicating with patients is not as simple as it seems~ But all human beings living in this world will instinctively reject [sick people] who have lost their fundamental human nature and are like germs in the world.

  This is a kind of biological rejection that is difficult to get rid of. "

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

 Hearing this answer reminded Edmund of something.

“No wonder you were able to accept the “disease crystallization” before becoming a gentleman.

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

"who?"

 “A person who can fully adapt to this sick world and easily integrate into it, but still remain himself...[madman].”
