Gina seemed devoid of emotion, looking at Joseph calmly and saying in an detached, otherworldly tone, "After this mission is over, I will report to my superiors that you are now experiencing psychological problems."
“I think you’re the one with the problem,” Joseph said sharply, his eyes gleaming.
The tall young man standing nearby quickly said, "Let's talk this out, don't rush."
While the three were fighting amongst themselves, Zeke was also observing them from a unique perspective.
The mayor's order has been issued, and they have already come up with a strategy.
The ghoul police force, now numbering seventy, is patrolling the streets and alleys, carrying out related deployments.
After conveying the message, Jike turned and left to continue his patrol.
The three of them followed cautiously from a distance, but just then, a lazy voice rang out.
"Hey, what are you three outsiders doing here so suspiciously?"
The three men turned their heads and saw three policemen looking at them. The one who spoke was the leader, a handsome young policeman with a bit of stubble, named Conte.
As a top student who graduated from the police academy, Kant, who had once been disheartened by the police, was saved by Zeke during the attack of the Hand of Chaos, and then received a personal invitation from the ambitious mayor.
Especially after hearing the mayor's impassioned words and the policies and funds that were truly put to practical use, he returned to the police station with gratitude and respect and became a detective.
Conte was also one of eight ordinary people among the seventy-eight police officers.
They all knew that the other seventy people were superhuman, but that didn't make them feel unbalanced.
Because those people were all put in a position of being untrained and lacked the relevant skills and experience, they still needed the help of these eight experienced police officers.
The people on both sides get along very well, and Kant and his two colleagues behind him are now as close as brothers.
He used his knowledge and experience to help them solve the case, and these two colleagues had taken three bullets for him, for which he was very grateful.
Just half an hour ago, the mayor's wife, whom most people believed to be the sister of Los's wife, was approached by Sheena, who conveyed the mayor's orders and information.
A seven-person superhuman team enters Arkham, intending to disrupt the peace and steal Arkham's secrets.
This greatly displeased and even angered Conte. He knew very well that the peace in Arkham was due to the mayor, and he knew how hard-won such peace and order were.
Joseph looked at Kant and immediately realized that he was just a slightly stronger ordinary person, completely unrelated to superhumans.
"Officer, is there anything I can help you with?" Joseph asked with a big smile.
Kanter sized up the young man with deep-set eyes and a hooked nose, and said, "Judging from your accent, you're from the Province of Newright."
Joseph was taken aback, not expecting the policeman to be able to recognize his accent so easily.
"I attended police academy there for four years, so I'm quite familiar with it," Conte continued.
Joseph immediately understood and smiled, "Newlight Military and Police University is the best police academy in the Empire. Graduates from there are all extremely outstanding police officers."
Kant ignored the flattery and said calmly, "Newlight Province is also the safest province in the Empire, with the best culture and high moral standards. But what are you lot doing here, sneaking around like this?"
Joseph hurriedly explained, "Officer, we're lost and don't know which way to go."
"Show me your ID first." Since Kanter knew what these guys were after, he felt a natural displeasure.
Joseph reluctantly took out his ID after hearing this. Although he was a bit extreme in his personality, he was a person with a strong sense of principles. He would never use his supernatural powers on ordinary people, let alone involve ordinary people in the battle.
His enemies are always those evil monsters.
Just as Conte took Joseph's ID to look at it, Denison, the owner of the ice cream shop, rushed over and shouted, "Officer Conte, these three guys are terrorists! I just heard them say they were going to kill everyone here!"
Upon hearing this, Kant and his two companions instantly drew their weapons and shouted at the three men, "Hands up, lie down, hands up!"
Joseph and his two companions were completely bewildered, but they still obediently raised their hands.
Three people quickly stepped forward, pinned the three of them to the ground, and handcuffed them.
At this moment, Boss Dennison walked over and said righteously, "Detective Conte, I've been secretly observing them the whole time. These guys have been staring at Officer Zeke in the distance, and they even said they were going to kill us all. They seemed to be arguing."
"Especially this guy, he looked so fierce just now, he doesn't look like a good person at all," Denison pointed at Joseph and accused loudly.
Chapter 0095 Hofen Gallery
Faced with the accusations from Mr. Denison, the ice cream shop manager, Joseph and the other young man were completely bewildered. Gina, who had been very indifferent, took the lead in explaining, "There may be some misunderstanding. This gentleman doesn't seem to have heard the whole conversation."
The three men lifted the three men off the ground and said, "There might be a misunderstanding, but let's go back to the police station first."
Joseph had carried out so many missions, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He was reported by an ordinary citizen and arrested by the police.
“Sir, please let me explain,” Joseph said earnestly to Mr. Denison.
Dennison simply turned his head away and said, "I have nothing to say to bad people who disrupt the peace."
Kant, holding his shoulder, said calmly, "If there's any misunderstanding, everything will be cleared up once we get to the police station."
Joseph looked at Mr. Denison with a puzzled expression: "Why would you do that? You should know that we didn't mean it that way."
Unfortunately, Mr. Denison had already left without looking back.
"The citizens here have suffered too much danger and persecution in the past. They cherish the peace and happiness they have today, and they will not allow anyone to pose any risk of instability to this place," said Conte, who was standing nearby.
At this point, Conte exclaimed, "This is the spirit of justice, hospitality, and simplicity that defines our people in Arkham."
Gina casually remarked, "Officer, is there something about hospitality and simplicity that you simply can't grasp?"
Kanter smiled slightly: "Perhaps."
After saying that, the three men led Joseph and his two companions toward the police station, which was not far from there.
During this time, the young man gestured to Joseph several times, but Joseph secretly shook his head to indicate that he should not resist.
If they completely break ties with the police, they won't be able to stay in Arkham, let alone investigate the mayor.
The three men were arrested in the East District of Arkham.
The East District is located south of the central district and adjacent to the Miskatonic River.
Interestingly, the area known as the central district is located on the northeast side of the entire town, making it the least central part of the town.
Although the area of the East District is similar to that of the Central District, it is sparsely populated and has almost no commercial venues. The remaining buildings are all ancient buildings from the previous era, or even the era before that.
These buildings are now mostly dilapidated and have become ghost houses, uninhabited by everyone.
Therefore, the East District is also known as the Ghost District by many children because it is too desolate and sparsely populated.
Although remote and desolate, it has provided excellent cover and venue for many criminals and criminal activities.
At this moment, Sheena, along with Carrington and Dr. Mursey, was setting up some traces and corpses here.
These traces and corpses had been treated by Dr. Murthy, which is consistent with the work of the Tide Pirates.
This isn't an important clue, but rather an important turning point.
Sheena needs the Green Covenant members to pass through here and direct all the conflict toward the Dagonist cult in Innsmouth.
After everything was settled, Sheena smiled and said, "Let's begin Arkham's hospitality."
With everything prepared, Murthy and Carrington went back to their own business.
Sheena went directly to the current ghoul lord, Danny Aubanion.
In the office, Danny said directly, "I have received orders from the master. Please feel free to ask if you need any help."
Sheena looked at the once arrogant gang leader, who had now become a loyal and ordinary person to the great mayor, and still felt a sense of disbelief.
"Where are Kingston and the other two now?" Sheena asked directly.
Danny: "They're at the Hoffenheim Gallery right now, investigating Lilith's case."
Sheena said directly, "Do you have time now? We need to go see them."
Danny stood up immediately: "Tell me the plan first."
Sheena then explained the plan in detail.
Danny frowned slightly: "Master hates them. Has your plan been approved by Master?"
Hina nodded: "Yes, this is a plan permitted by the great mayor."
Danny hesitated for a moment: "I don't think these guys are qualified to get close to the master."
“Danny, you have more experience in this area than I do, so you should know very well that my plan is in the best interests of the great mayor,” Sheena said earnestly.
Danny was well aware of the benefits of this plan.
Not only can it easily solve the Green Covenant's investigation, but it can also be used as a weapon.
"Since the master has given permission, I have no right to say anything. Let's go!"
The two then split up and began carrying out their respective tasks.
Meanwhile, at the Hoffen Gallery.
This is a gallery showcasing postmodern and abstract styles. Its owner is named Van Hofen, a writer, art critic, and art historian from the capital.
He had no talent for painting, but his writing was very popular.
The gallery has been open for two years and has been operating at a loss, but Hoffen doesn't care about the losses. He just wants more people to appreciate the paintings he considers priceless.
Of course, some of them were drawn by himself.
Because of his indifferent attitude towards money, this place gradually became a place for upper-class people to stroll around when they had nothing to do. There was quite a lot of foot traffic every day, but most of them were wealthy ladies who had nothing better to do.
The painting that Kingston is looking at right now is one of Hoffen's own works.
The image depicts a highly abstract ocean, within which a massive shadow appears to exist, surrounded by geometrically abstract buildings and various bizarre, abstract creatures.
This painting is titled "In the Deep Sea".
"This painting is truly excellent; it perfectly captures people's fear of the unknown deep sea," Kingston praised.
Upon hearing this, Hoffen's eyes lit up. After so long, he had finally found someone who knew what was good for him!
“This gentleman has excellent taste!” Hoffen approached, noticing the approaching figure, and said with a smile.
Kingston looked at the thin, bespectacled, and reserved middle-aged man and said, "The artist of this painting must have been a very learned and cultured person."
Hoffen sighed and said, "Yes! But these days there aren't many people with your discerning eye."
Kingston asked curiously, "I heard that your gallery is the most famous, and you often have high-society people coming here. Why does it look so deserted now?"
Hoffen said with dissatisfaction, "What else could it be? It's naturally because of that Arkham Flower Club. That Lilith Arkham, I don't know what kind of witchcraft she used, has completely attracted those ladies. Now those noblewomen go there every day whenever they have time, saying it's for fitness and beauty. It's really unbelievable."
Chapter 0095 The Despicable Locals
After chatting with Hoffenheim for a while, Kingston gained a general understanding of the situation at the Arkham Flower Club.
