I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

Chapter 211 The young talent Arkham is very popular!

Evan was standing in the crowd listening to Gray's speech.

"As you all know, if people see something too terrifying, they will instinctively experience hallucinations as a way to protect themselves."

"Mrs. Smith and her grandson were indeed subjected to extremely cruel harm by a certain perpetrator!"

"On behalf of the special operations team, I assure you all that we will bring that damned murderer to justice as soon as possible!"

The surrounding crowd had various expressions on their faces, but they were already in a state of agitation.

"What's going on? Have we been possessed by some kind of evil spirit?"

"I keep hearing some strange noises lately, damn it!"

"I feel like I'm always coughing, like something's growing in my lungs —"

"Get lost, you cops! We don't believe you!"

"It's a monster! We saw it with our own eyes!"

In an instant, the commotion in the crowd began to get out of control.

A murmured monologue, still reeling from the shock; a frenzied, stress-induced agitation; the bestial instincts unleashed by the potion—

These things piled up together, like water about to boil.

Upon seeing this, Gray hurriedly reached for the gun behind him.

Just then, a bright and cheerful voice rang out.

"Don't scare yourselves, everyone!"

Hearing this, everyone turned to look and saw the young man with a sunny smile walking over, carrying a cat.

At this moment, Ivan walked up to the pale-faced watchmaking apprentice in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a sunny and enthusiastic manner.

"Come on! Shout it out with me! Shout out all that negative energy!"

Then everyone heard Ivan shout loudly.

"Good luck, go away!"

This sunny and cheerful demeanor was quite infectious, and the young man, who was still in shock, didn't have much of a sense of self and shouted along.

The moment he shouted that, the young man immediately felt that his lungs and throat, which had been hurting for a long time, suddenly felt much better.

Ivan grinned and said, "How was it?"

The pale-faced youth was immediately overjoyed: "My God! I—I feel so comfortable!"

"My lungs and throat actually feel much better!"

Standing beside the young man, his younger sister, whose face was full of fatigue, was also somewhat surprised and shouted out from behind.

At that moment, Ivan patted her shoulder, and then the cold and tuberculosis viruses on the female worker's body were instantly sucked away.

Finally, the female worker immediately felt her body become stronger and lighter.

"My God! This actually works!"

This miraculous change instantly attracted the attention of everyone around.

"Good luck, go away!"

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had just started making a fuss shouted, but found that he didn't experience any special changes.

Before he could question it, Ivan stepped forward with a smile: "Practicing with all your might won't work. Come on, I'll teach you!"

Then Ivan pretended to put one hand on his stomach and the other on his shoulder: "Come on! Howl again!"

With another howl, Ivan's palm had already sucked the bacteria from the inflammation in his lungs.

"How is it?"

The middle-aged man took two deep breaths and was surprised to find that his trachea and lungs felt much lighter than usual!

"Healing God! It really works!"

At this moment, the attention of the crowd, who were just filled with doubt, fear, and anger, was drawn to Ivan.

Gray breathed a sigh of relief and then winked at the police officers who had rushed over.

They then quickly wrapped the two monsters in the apartment in a large bag and put them on the carriage.

At this moment, Gray looked at Evan, who was surrounded by the crowd and still had a sunny smile on his face, and his voice was full of praise and joy.

"What a reliable and capable young man!"

While Gray quickly cleaned up all the traces of the supernatural, Ivan also completely dispelled everyone's doubts about the scene that had just occurred.

"This is not a panacea for treating diseases."

At this moment, Ivan stood on a rock and smiled at the twenty-odd people in front of him.

"It's a way to vent frustration."

"The reason why you neighbors have been feeling unwell in the past few days is because someone has been using Mrs. Smith's house to manufacture and transport various contraband."

"You can smell a pungent odor; that's the smoke and fumes produced during the manufacture of contraband."

"This smoke and dust will make you feel irritable and unhappy, and therefore your body will feel uncomfortable."

Ivan paused, looking around, and said, "I was just helping you vent your frustrations."

After listening and pondering for a moment, the leading clock-making apprentice patted his chest comfortably and said, "So that's how it is!"

Evan continued, "Our investigation has reached this point, and although we've taken down the mastermind, Mrs. Smith and her children have also met a tragic end."

"Fortunately, the wicked have now been caught."

"If you all cooperate with me, you can catch all the problematic rats in this area."

"By then, this place will be completely safe!"

At this point, all twenty-odd people had received Ivan's "treatment" and had also seen the police identification on Ivan's body, so they were quite convinced of Ivan's abilities.

The brother and sister leading the group were about the same age as Evan; the brother, Tom, was a watchmaking apprentice, and the sister, Cindy, was a tailor's apprentice.

only.

After their brief time together, the two had become loyal fans of Ivan.

Tom took the lead and said, "Thank you for your selfless help and explanation!"

"Otherwise, we might really start to overthink things because of those few terrified neighbors."

Cindy, with freckles on her face and bandages wrapped around her fingers, turned to her neighbors and spoke.

"Uncles and aunties, Officer Arkham isn't just a detective; he's also a top student at Wise Men University and is currently interning at medical school!"

"That's why Officer Arkham is able to skillfully and easily treat our bodies and help us release stress."

Upon hearing this, the more people who had gathered around nodded in understanding.

"So she was a top student at the University of Wise Men, and she'll be a doctor in the future!"

"Wow! What an excellent child!"

"I wonder if he's engaged? My daughter is almost an adult!"

"Hey Mary! Wake up! Your daughter is only twelve!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a dimly lit conference room.

"Dead!?"

A deep, muffled sound rang out, followed by the voice of a massive figure, as large as a small mountain.

Sitting opposite this figure was a humanoid being whose appearance was constantly changing.

"It's almost certain that the burrowing worm is indeed dead."

Then the figure turned to look at the elegant woman wearing a veil on her left: "The Institute of Excellence needs an explanation."

"We've come here to help you, but it seems you haven't provided us with detailed information."

Immediately afterward, a woman wearing a black goat mask diagonally opposite also spoke up: "Indeed, the Holy Spirit Black Goat also needs explanation."

"A sanctuary was attacked last night, and whoever found it is no ordinary person."

"And their style of doing things is completely different from that of normal superhumans."

"Are you going to provide us, your partners, with more direct intelligence?"

After a moment's hesitation, the elegant woman smiled and said, "We really don't know much about this."

"I will promptly inform Mr. Sap and provide you with more detailed information."

"As you all know, Bolton City has been quite turbulent lately, with all sorts of strange and unusual people around."

After a pause, the woman said meaningfully.

"You should know that it's not just you who have come; factions that have grudges against you have also come."

"I hope you will all act cautiously going forward. If the plan succeeds, you will all receive the compensation you desire."

The group of figures snorted coldly after hearing this, clearly dissatisfied with such a perfunctory official explanation.

Finally, the massive figure, as imposing as a small mountain, asked, "When will the birth plan begin?"

The elegant woman said mysteriously, "Two days later, on the 31st."

After the meeting ended, all darkness vanished instantly.

All the other figures vanished, leaving only the Witch of Misfortune, Kaine, wearing a black veil.

A cold smile appeared on her lips as she gracefully walked into the next room.

Sap, dressed in winter clothes, was still sitting in that high-backed chair.

After listening to Kaine's report, Sap snorted coldly: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should still be that hothead from Gooding Street."

'

o

Kaine nodded: "Armitage must have told him the address of that sanctuary outside the city."

Sap tapped his fingers on the gilded armrest: "This kid is always an unpredictable variable; it's best to take him out before the plan is finalized."

Kaine shook her head: "Sir, this kid is the key to our plan."

"We still don't know what that old fox Klaus is secretly planning."

"But since that guy is so obsessed with Arkham, keeping Arkham around can keep Klaus in check."

"Moreover, Arkham is an open enemy; both the judges' faction and the University of Michigan have placed heavy bets on him."

"This guy has always been quite flamboyant and doesn't know how to be discreet."

"By paying attention to his movements and location, you can basically determine where the opponent's main force is."

After listening, Sap hummed in agreement, then raised his hand and lifted up Kaine's face, a patchwork of angel and devil.

"Now you are the only person I completely trust, Kayle."

"Once I overcome this ordeal and gain a long life and youth, your face will also be healed!"

Kaine grasped Sap's wrinkled, age-spotted hands in both: "Mr. Sap—"

"I will stay by your side forever."

While Sap was scheming and plotting, Ivan's plan was also proceeding quite smoothly.

Because she won everyone's favor and praise from the very beginning, and with everyone's help...

With his good cat Gold and the help of his hidden sub-brain, Evan launched a devastating attack on a large number of rats in the surrounding area that were covered in the scent of magic potions.

Although the neighbors could not see the scent of those magical potions.

But now they could see those rats, which were usually disgusting and repulsive, being thrown out of the neighborhood bag by bag by the young police officer with indescribable efficiency.

During this process, Ivan also quietly retrieved the potion fragments that the golden man had cut off with his claws from the sewer.

Ivan spent the entire day here.

Finally, as the sun completely set, around 6 p.m., Yiwen, amidst everyone's gratitude and farewell, jumped onto the tram and left Hai Cha Street.

"I never imagined there were such warm, cheerful, and kind people in this world!" Tom couldn't help but exclaim.

sound.

Then he turned his head and saw his younger sister staring in the direction Evan had left, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

Tom raised his hand and ruffled his sister's green hair: "Silly girl, don't think about it."

"We have no connection with these big shots who are destined to become middle class."

Cindy took a deep breath, snorted back the snot that had come out from the cold, turned to look at her older brother, and changed the subject.

"I just think, Mr. Arkham's physique is so sleek and athletic, why does his stomach look so big?"

Tom rubbed his nose, which was red from the cold: "Maybe I ate a lot!"

Ivan took the tram and arrived first at the city police department's special operations team.

He strode into Vic's office, a slight smile now playing on his previously cold and aloof face.

"I've already heard the details from Gray."

"The old woman's body has been cleaned up, as for the child who was modified—"

"Now that I've completely merged with my animalistic nature, there's no possibility of healing."

Hearing this, Ivan sighed, "I understand. How will the money be settled this time?"

Vic smiled and said, "This was a big job. Although you didn't catch the person behind it all, you still managed to take down their stronghold."

"Most importantly, you caught all those rats, and you got $400!"

At this point, Vic's voice carried a hint of sigh as he looked at Golden, the orange cat hiding in Evan's arms.

"It seems Armitage has assigned you a rather excellent familiar."

After hearing that Vic had already filled in the blanks about the origin of the gold, Evan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Yes, yes, yes! All thanks to Dr. Armitage!"

"But Captain Vic, what exactly is a familiar?"

Vic stood up and stretched his neck and wrists.

"The essence of a familiar is an extension of its own spirituality, and these things usually use some common small animals as carriers."

"Through some specially made trace amounts of magical potions, or some rituals, or blood healing techniques from the Healing Church—"

—”

"Let your spirituality merge with these small animals, creating a resonance between you and them, so that the owner can..."

These small animals are subject to precise control.

"Later, we will use these small animals to unleash some extraordinary powers that are inconvenient for me to use myself."

Vic walked over and reached out to touch Golden's head.

"ha!"

Gold immediately activated its round-headed, ancient form, opened its mouth, and raised its incredibly sharp claws.

It's clear that gold is already showing the influence of its predecessors.
