Mr. Poch, who was standing nearby, said, "Mayor, number 03122, his mutations are accelerating recently. In the past, he would change into at least five different forms every day, and the intervals between the changes are getting shorter and shorter. He seems to be becoming more and more skilled."

“There’s still instability,” Los added.

Number 03122 looked into Los's eyes and chuckled, "As expected of you, you can't hide anything."

As he spoke, scales gradually appeared on his palms, but jet-black hair appeared on his arms.

The left side of his chest kept bulging out, as if it was about to grow out, and his entire skeleton was constantly changing, sometimes large and sometimes small.

Los said calmly, "Although you have completed your transformation, in your current form you are not yet able to distinguish these forms. This has caused these forms to be mixed together. If this continues, when you lose control due to despair, you will become a lump of flesh that can only breathe and devour."

Number 03122 nodded slightly: "That's why I've been persisting, waiting for your arrival."

"Oh? It seems Hardy told you something." Los's lips curled up slightly.

Number 03122: "I have a pretty good relationship with number 4, Hardy. I rarely have the opportunity to go out, but he often comes to my room to tell me about what's going on outside."

"Such a thing is true!?" Upon hearing this, Kur and Pochi were extremely surprised, as they had no idea about this matter.

Los pulled up a chair and sat down in front of him: "You must have sensed something, right?"

Number 03122 grunted, "I am still under that woman's control, and at the same time, I crave the blood of the ancient gods."

Chapter 0206 Controlling the Witch

Upon hearing this, Los clearly saw a flash of apprehension and caution in the eyes of number 03122.

“Judy Roman, judging from your words, she is not the beautiful, talented, and wealthy woman that outsiders perceive her to be,” Los said slowly.

Number 03122 looked up and asked, "Have you ever heard of a witch?"

Los coughed and said, "Although I've heard of it, for some reason, I can no longer look at the word 'witch' directly."

"Why?" Number 03122 was somewhat puzzled.

Los asked, "Was she also transformed from a man?"

Faced with this question, Kur and Dr. Poch were completely stunned. Is this how the mayor views women?

Number 03122 was also briefly stunned, and said, "Although I don't know why you said that, I can say for sure that Judy was born a woman, and we can say that we grew up together."

Los coughed and said, "Then let's talk about the witch."

Number 03122 then explained: "They have an organization whose members are all women. They all claim to be descendants of the Mother of Darkness, and they have also awakened some special powers through some unknown methods."

"What Judy awakened was control. She was called the Control Witch by her accomplices. The term suited her well, as she had shown a strong desire for control since childhood."

When he mentioned his childhood, a gentle smile appeared on No. 03122's face, showing that he seemed to genuinely love his wife.

"She can give you mental suggestions and control when you're not paying attention, and then issue the rules she sets out to control everything within her rules. If you break these rules, you will be punished with extremely painful consequences, and for some reason, I am unable to resist these punishments."

Los's face lit up with interest upon hearing this. This ability was somewhat similar to Lilith's, but their development paths were completely different.

“I don’t know when she joined that organization, but after we got married, she gradually showed her true colors, and my schizophrenia also developed under her constant punishment.”

At this point, number 03122 clenched his fist and said, "Because normal humans cannot endure those painful punishments, I have to split off other personalities to bear the pain in my place."

Los frowned slightly and asked, "Your family is, after all, descended from paladins. There should be other extraordinary servants in your family, right? Didn't they notice these problems?"

Number 03122 shook his head: "They don't know when they also entered into her rules and came under her control."

Loston immediately became interested: "This might be a completely new system. The systems I already know of include alchemy, human modification, alien technology, directly granting special rewards and blessings, and self-cultivation."

Number 03122 looked at Los and said, "I've said so much, I only hope you can protect me. I am no match for that woman now, and I am still within the rules. I hope to obtain your ancient god blood so that I can undergo a transformation and break free from my previous shackles."

Kuer, who was standing nearby, said, "You should know that there is a price to pay for this."

Number 03122 nodded: "Of course I know that. I know some of the mayor's plans, and I also felt the greatness of the mayor that day. Now I still have a good sense of belonging to Arkham."

"If the mayor is willing to help me, after I have completed my revenge, I will stay in Arkham forever and become a guardian of Arkham, forever loyal to you."

Number 03122 spent his most important years in Arkham, and because of his special talent, he could know what was happening outside even through walls.

Especially considering the dramatic events of the last two months, he is even more convinced that he is more suited to this place, a gathering place for the forgotten and the mad, than to that developed provincial capital and its huge mansion.

Looking at number 03122, Los asked directly, "If I help you regain control of the family, you can still accept the entire Charlemagne family's network and assets, right?"

Upon hearing this, number 03122 immediately understood Los's meaning and nodded, saying, "As long as it does not affect the family's heritage and reputation, you can freely allocate the Charlemagne family's assets and connections at that time."

Los nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, I can feel your sincerity."

With that, Los stood up and said to Poch, "Remove his shackles."

"Understood." Pochi then took out the key.

Just as he was about to open it, Pochi cautiously asked Los: "Young Master, number 03122 has a personality. Even if the current outward personality agrees, he still has a large number of changeable inner personalities."

"Especially that little girl's personality, which is extremely dark and twisted, and she has an IQ of 130, which presents too many uncontrollable risks."

Los nodded after listening: "Thank you for your advice, Dr. Poch. Arkham Sanatorium is fortunate to have such a dedicated doctor as you."

Hearing such praise, Pochi was momentarily at a loss for words. This was not the first time Los had praised him, but most of the praise was directed at the medical staff as a whole.

But this time, such individual praise and affirmation made Dr. Pochi extremely happy and excited, but also at a loss and flattered.

Kuer added, "Young master, Dr. Poch's rigor and focus are top-notch in the sanatorium. Nowadays, all patient records, risk level ratings, and framework designs are all led by Dr. Poch."

This was the first time Los had heard about Dr. Poch's work, and he immediately expressed even greater admiration for Dr. Poch, saying, "Dr. Poch, I'm so sorry to have discovered your talent so late."

This immediately made Pochi feel a little flustered, and he hurriedly said, "You are too kind. This is all part of my job, and Dr. Kur has paid me very well for all the work I have done. I am already very grateful."

Los didn't say anything more, turning to number 03122: "Today, I will turn back your wife's people, and in the next day or two, I will bestow upon you the blood of the ancient god."

After listening, No. 03122 said with great gratitude, "Thank you for your trust and generosity."

Los then turned and left with his men.

Walking down the corridor, Los said to Dr. Pochi, "You should already know about the Guilty Ones and the Angle Dogs, right?"

Dr. Poch nodded.

"I want you to compile a data format for containment objects, and you will be responsible for testing and guarding these containment objects in the future."

Chapter 0207 A Caring Big Brother

Upon hearing Los's plan, Dr. Pochi was stunned for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Mayor, I'm just an ordinary person. Can I really handle this job?"

Los laughed and said, "Of course, you have such abilities and talents, so whether you are an ordinary person or not is not important."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Pochi was immediately filled with excitement. He had agreed to go undercover at Arkham Sanatorium under the arrangement of the Rhodes Merchant Guild, partly because of their generous rewards, and partly because of his deep interest in those secret beings that transcended reality.

He is a typical realist who knows how to weigh the pros and cons. If there is any danger involved, he will not hesitate to abandon some things, go home to be with his wife and children, and become a social elite.

However, as the two months have progressed, he has seen a great deal of things as a participant and witness. While learning about the mayor's great abilities, he has also discovered that he can satisfy his great curiosity while also receiving ample security. This made Pochi feel as if a brand new door was opening for him.

Dr. Poch squeezed the thick notebook in his hand, his face serious, and said in a firm and resolute tone, "Mayor, I will absolutely not let you down."

Los nodded in satisfaction: "Good! Very energetic!"

"Later today, I will impart some special knowledge to you. This knowledge will greatly broaden your horizons and allow you to make more advanced achievements and develop a more systematic understanding in this area. If you wish, you can also undergo some modifications to master extraordinary powers, which will make your future work more efficient."

Dr. Pochi was immediately filled with excitement, his face flushed, and he loudly replied, "Yes, Mayor!"

Dr. Poch, now newly appointed by Los, left beaming. He needed to find the previous materials and compile the original templates and information in more detail.

Although he was responsible for compiling and compiling the data templates for guilty individuals, he did not have such a far-reaching plan. Although the basic data was relatively complete, it was still far from sufficient for a mature containment institution.

I heard that the monster from that angle could easily bite off Father Hearst's hand and also possesses an incredibly strange teleportation ability.

This led Dr. Pochettino to first consider renumbering and reorganizing these monsters, and adding more detailed information, such as their threat level to the entire Arkham Empire, the difficulty of controlling them, and so on.

Since the mayor thinks so highly of me, I must not let him down!

After reaching an agreement with patient number 03122, Los's attention naturally turned to the group of patients' family members who were rushing over.

“Mayor, it’s not the right time for us to have a direct confrontation with them,” Kur advised.

Losen said, "So I have no intention of getting into a conflict with them."

"You already have a plan?" Kulton was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Los didn't say much: "You're in charge of everything here."

"clear."

Upon returning to his office at the City Hall from Arkham Sanatorium, Los immediately called Sheena over the phone.

“Master.” Sheena walked in, her face looking rather grim.

"What's wrong?" Los asked gently.

As a successful leader, it is essential to care for your subordinates.

Moreover, these people were not simply his subordinates, but rather beings he had created, like his children.

Sheena clenched her fists: "Master, I'm really too weak!"

As she spoke, Hina's face was filled with helplessness and self-blame.

Although the matter of the Angle Dog and the Father God's Salvation Society was resolved satisfactorily today, I am a servant entrusted with an important task by the mayor. She was the one who led the investigation, but in the end, I didn't contribute a single bit of my efforts.

At the mountaintop, the words of Kur and Father Hearst made Sheena realize her own weakness even more.

In this world, weakness is the greatest original sin.

Upon hearing this, Los said seriously, "Sheena, we understand how you feel. That sense of powerlessness and self-blame has been tormenting you."

As he spoke, Los stood up and came to Sheena: "I'm glad you came here to tell me your pain."

After hearing this, Sheena looked up at Los, her throat bobbing twice, but she didn't know what to say.

“We are not just subordinates. Lilith has my blood in her veins, and you are like a younger sister to Lilith. So I feel like family to you, Kur, Murthy, Daryl, Carrington and everyone else.”

“I am the elder who leads this family, and you are the children. What I hope for is not that you will only complete tasks, even at the cost of your lives. What I hope for is that you will see yourselves more as members of the entire Arkham family, learn to think, and learn to express yourselves.”

Los's voice was very gentle, with a warmth like sunshine and a loving kindness like an elder.

As she finished speaking, two lines of tears streamed down Sheena's face.

What Los said hit her sore spot perfectly, and resonated deeply with her.

Yes, after so many years of struggle and such desperate efforts, all she wanted was to find a place where she could find warmth and belonging.

Now, she is absolutely certain that he has found it.

"Master" Sheena didn't keep crying. At this moment, she felt that the small boat that had been drifting for a long time had finally arrived at its own safe harbor. She felt surrounded by boundless happiness and warmth.

Wiping away her tears, Sheena said earnestly, "Master, please give me your orders."
