The final gentleman

As they drove towards the Gentlemen's Hall, the four people sitting in the carriage were silent.

Manager 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 the entire car ride was that he was sorting out the fragmented memories he had 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.

It is basically ready now.

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

The corpse Yi Chen mentioned 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 is already occupied by four people.

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

Who is this!

Yi Chen 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 old-time doctors and a white coat that symbolizes modern medicine,

The two also had a brief conversation at that time.

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

Yi Chen estimated,

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

Director 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 Mr. Vesalius learned of this incident, he decided to attend the meeting in person.

Under the beak mask, words that were as sinister as before were even a bit sticky:

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

And when it comes to open source patients, we ensure that all members survive. Come and have 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.

As the issuer, associate and assister of the task, Director Aggie was naturally responsible for this meeting.

First, send a document to the examiners, including the personal information, ratings of the four members of the team, and the [Secret Medicine Recovery] task form they received, as well as the 'False Moon Incident' report 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 are no problems, let them explain the detailed process of task execution.

Director 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.

The entire process will be explained in fifteen minutes with concise and concise words, including the judgment and choice of each key node and the basis for making the decision.

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

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

Being able to kill a seriously ill patient with gentlemanly characteristics in the rookie stage is a level that I don’t need to evaluate.

However, I have a question.

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

Moreover, we can roughly infer that ‘Mr. Li’ has a cautious and timid character and does not want to cause trouble. If he 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 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.

This kind of avoidance will be engraved in my heart and hinder my future growth.

Um……

Doctor 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 a gentleman 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 with him again, we will definitely die.

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

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

After all, I still owe Edmund a lot of money, and I hope to pay it off in one go.

Dr. Vesalius squinted 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 battle that pushed you to your limits? The killing process of death?”

Yes, I personally do prefer this feeling.

very good!

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

After a pause, Director Ai Ji looked at the four members of the team.

As you experienced during your mission,

[Secret Medicine Recovery] This aftermath-related task was 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.

This will determine whether you have the important potential of investigation.

Then determine how much this [potential] is and whether it is worth cultivating again by the organization based on how deeply you have touched the essence of the truth.

therefore,

We also need 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 had already sorted out the truth in his brain and modified it literaryly.

When the exposition begins,

The emblem on the back of his head also started to squirm.

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