Chapter 75 Task Meeting

 While driving towards the Gentlemen's Hall, the four people sitting in the carriage were silent.

  Supervisor Aiji reminded us very kindly:

“Since your mission has been completed to a high degree and you have successfully accessed the secret information behind it, we will have a closed conversation in the upper conference room of the Gentlemen’s Hall to bring this mission to a perfect end.

take it easy,

I can tell you a little bit... The performance of the four of you in the task is highly valued, and the final reward will be far beyond the preset.

The experience of this mission will also be included in your files.

So don’t look too nervous. Just answer whatever they ask.

 No need to worry~ Tell us all the information you have investigated in as much detail as possible. "

"Um."

Yi Chen nodded,

The reason why he was speechless during the entire car ride was that he was sorting out the fragmented memories obtained from Mr. Li's brain a month ago with the help of "Central Taste" and combining them with his own investigations to prepare his speech in advance.

 At present, it is basically ready.

“Director Aggie, what happened to the body I brought back?”

The corpse Yi Chen was talking about was none other than [Sick Gentleman-Mr. Li], who was handed over to the supervisor for disposal after returning to the city.

"Congratulations!

Since the disease core has not been seriously damaged and the body maintains a high integrity, Mr. Li's body has been transformed into a high-quality "pathological crystal" after being calcined in the incinerator, which will be distributed along with the mission rewards. .

 At that time, you can allocate them within the team. "

"good."

 When the carriage arrived,

The supervisor also asked everyone to wear masks to increase concealment.

 【Gentlemen's Hall-High Floor】

This place is generally responsible for receiving powerful gentlemen like Professor Chamberson to discuss some extremely difficult exploration tasks. It is divided into six larger conference rooms.

 Everyone was taken to a special room with a red horizontal stripe indicating a fully enclosed meeting.

 The long oval table in the room has been seated for four people.

 Including two gentleman hall supervisors like Aggie, Professor Chamberson who is related to this mission, and [Doctor].

"Who is this!"

Yichen immediately recognized that doctor C sitting at the conference table was the one he met by chance between the street arches when he first arrived in Zion City.

Wearing a beak mask that symbolizes doctors in the old days and a white coat that symbolizes modern medicine,

The two had a brief conversation at that time.

 Due to the doctor's presence, the aura of the entire conference room was suppressed by him.

Yi Chen estimates,

This is what Director Aggie calls attention from ‘above’. This doctor’s status and strength are definitely higher than Dr. Mycroft of Twilight Clinic.

  Supervisor Ai Ji also introduced the origin of this doctor.

"This is the Vice President of Hippocrates Hospital and one of the heads of the Secret Medicine Review Department - [Andre Vesalius]. Since the task involves the issuance of secret medicine rewards, the Secret Medicine Review Department is needed personnel involved.

After learning about this incident, Mr. Vesalius decided to attend the meeting in person. "

  Hence the same gloomy, even sticky words as before seeped out from under the beak mask:

“I heard that a new gentleman, during the aftermath of the “False Moon Incident”, killed the sick gentleman hiding in the same space head-on.

And if it touches open source patients, ensure the survival of all members, come and take a look out of personal interest.

 You can just follow the normal procedures of the meeting. If you have any comments, I will put them forward directly. "

"good."

  Director Aiji, as the issuer, associate and facilitator of the task, is naturally responsible for this meeting.

 First send a document to the examiners, including the personal information, ratings of the four members of the team, the [Secret Medicine Recovery] task form they received, and the report of the ‘False Moon Incident’ that the team viewed when accepting the task.

“This is all the information they knew before carrying out the mission. The information given by the Gentlemen’s Hall is kept to the [surface level] as much as possible.”

Dr. Vesalius nodded, expressing satisfaction with this task arrangement.

“If there is no problem, let them explain the detailed process of task execution.”

  Supervisor Aiji quickly brought the meeting to the next stage, and the examiners sitting there all turned their attention to the four young people.

 Generally speaking, the task process is explained by the captain.

But Edmund glanced at Yi Chen and gave him all this power. Yi Chen also nodded in acceptance, looking straight ahead with no color in his pupils.

 Complete the entire process in fifteen minutes with concise and concise words, including the judgment, choice and basis for making the decision at each key node.

At this time, Dr. Vesalius revealed a rare admiring look behind his metal eye frames and gave a comment.

“Yes, you handled every detail of the mission almost perfectly.

 Being able to kill a seriously ill person with gentlemanly characteristics in the new stage, this level does not require any evaluation from me.

However, I have a question.

Based on the bargaining chip of [Moon Skin], you clearly completed the transaction with Mr. Li and confirmed the effectiveness of the antidote.

And we can roughly infer that ‘Mr. Li’ has a cautious and timid character, does not want to cause trouble, and intends to let you go,

 Why choose to take risks and fight to the death? "

Captain Edmund took the initiative to answer:

“The concept of gentleman that I have learned since childhood prevents me from turning a blind eye to such a degenerate person... If I cannot eliminate him and choose to escape subjectively, I will not be qualified to bear the name of a gentleman.

Such avoidance will also be engraved in my heart and hinder my future growth. "

"Um…"

Dr. Vesalius nodded, but he seemed to want a different answer.

His eyes slowly turned to Yi Chen, "What about you? As the main communicator with the patient, why did you choose to fight to the death?"

Yi Chen said with some embarrassment: "My thoughts may not be as orthodox as Edmund's, nor do I think as much."

“It doesn’t matter, just tell me what you really think.”

“Actually, I didn’t care about whether I was a gentleman or not.

 Based on the analysis of the situation at the time, Mr. Li did intend to let us go, but the probability of this [intention] was not 100%, and should be around 50-60%.

Mr. Li may continue to trap us in the same space after we leave the underground ward and return to the surface. When he completes the absorption of the moon skin and gains stronger strength and freedom, he will then kill us or transform us into diseased slaves. .

 As long as it’s not 100%, I don’t dare to take this risk. Once we leave Mr. Li’s ward and fight him again, we will definitely die.

In addition, I also want to kill this guy. By killing strong men, I can hone my skills, exercise my body, and improve my thinking. If I am lucky, I can also get the complete corpse of a seriously ill person.

Furthermore, killing Mr. Li can also greatly increase the rewards of the mission.

 After all, I still owe Edmund a lot of money, and I will try to pay it off in one lump sum. "

Dr. Vesalius narrowed his eyes slightly and gave his evaluation: "Objective analysis and instinctive killing, with a certain tendency of profit... I have another question, have you ever enjoyed the final scene of pushing yourself to the limit and dying? The killing process?”

“Yes, I personally prefer this feeling.”

"very good!"

Doctor Vesalius stopped talking and stretched out his hand to indicate that the meeting should continue.

 Director Ai Ji paused for a moment and looked at the four members of the team.

“As you experienced during your mission,

 【Secret Medicine Recovery】This aftermath-related task is deliberately customized by the organization to further identify new gentlemen with sufficient strength and high overall level.

 The [surface] of the mission is for you to recover the ‘leftover secret medicine’.

Of course, it is impossible for the recovery team sent by the organization to make such a low-level mistake. The missing bottle of secret medicine was known from the beginning.

The [inside] part of the mission is for you to go to the clinic and use the leftover secret medicine as a guide to investigate the truth behind the scenes.

 Thereby judging whether you have the important potential of "investigation".

 Then determine how much this [potential] is and whether it is worthy of re-cultivation by the organization based on how deeply you touch the essence of the truth.

therefore,

 We need one more piece of information to assess the true depth of your involvement in this event.

 Please elaborate on your findings on [Twilight Clinic]. "

"Let me do it."

Yi Chen has already sorted out the truth in his brain and modified it literaryly.

 When the exposition begins,

 The mark on the back of the head also started to move.

 An extremely dark truth that goes against the character of a gentleman will be officially revealed.
