He quickly helped Joseph up, who was unaware of what had happened.
At this moment, he was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart, because he thought Joseph would go insane forever and become a cripple.
Unexpectedly, this mysterious and great being actually restored Joseph to normal.
Seeing that the two were safe and sound, Armitage breathed a deep sigh of relief: "Thank you, great mayor."
Chapter 0102 The Beginning of the Crazy Game
After a series of cautious flattering remarks, Ross's smile grew wider and wider, and the atmosphere of the conversation became more and more relaxed.
Although Joseph had just temporarily lost his senses, judging from his captain's expression and his own condition, he vaguely knew what kind of horror he had experienced.
At this moment, he had completely abandoned his ridiculous and humble pride and false principles of justice, lowered his proud head, and put on a fawning smile to express his friendliness and harmlessness.
As the conversation deepened, and after the two men confirmed that Los had completely abandoned his plan to kill them, their thoughts became more agile, and the atmosphere of the conversation was no longer as stiff as before.
Kingston said, "Great Mayor, when we arrived we found that the army had blocked all the roads leading from Arkham to the interior. They also seem to have brought a lot of superhumans with them. I think they have ill intentions."
Los nodded slightly: "I know, the investigators from the Eye of Insight came with them."
"It's the Eye of Insight again," Joseph clenched his fist after hearing that.
Kingston hurriedly explained, "Our relationship with the Eye of Insight is not good. Although we are an organization in this field, our approach is completely different. We advocate protecting humanity and eliminating monsters, while their style is profit-driven. We have fought on many issues and have irreconcilable hatred."
Los raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at the two of them, and said, "It seems that we also have the potential for cooperation in some other areas."
As he spoke, a slight smile appeared on his lips: "If the investigators from the Eye of Insight dare to step into this city, I will let them know the truly dangerous and cruel side of this world."
Upon hearing this, a chill ran through their bodies, making them shiver involuntarily.
Afterwards, the two of them revealed all the information they knew without reservation, and swore that they would never tell anyone about what was going on here, not even their other teammates.
This immediately earned Los's satisfaction and praise.
At 5 p.m., after talking for more than two hours, Armitage left Los's mansion with two superhumans.
As the three men watched Los's house gradually disappear from view, they all breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Armitage, now slumped in his chair, panting heavily, said, "His existence is absolutely good for Arkham. Don't provoke him anymore."
Upon hearing this, the two nodded without hesitation. Even Joseph, who had been very aggressive before, was completely deflated like a sick chick.
"Should we report the matter of Los to the organization?" Joseph asked tentatively.
Kingston said calmly, "If you want our alliance to be completely destroyed, you can report it."
Joseph shuddered after hearing this, then fell silent.
Kingston said solemnly, "We are all people who bear the madness here on behalf of ordinary people, and in this matter, we are bearing the madness on behalf of the entire Covenant. Remember, from now on, the Arkham we are investigating can only be a dedicated and benevolent mayor, and everything that is happening here is the work of the Tide Pirates, understand?"
"Understood, understood," the two nodded repeatedly.
After half an hour back, the three of them quickly processed their emotions and returned to Miskatonic University.
Under the enthusiastic gaze of the crowd, Kingston said in his hearty voice, "Mayor Arkham has no problem. He is perfectly normal and a truly great man."
“There’s no need for us to continue investigating Arkham City. I have a new lead: in the grove north of the Baptismal Church in the East District, there’s a deal involving the Dagon Cult. Now, everyone prepare for battle.”
Without giving them a chance to react, Kingston immediately assigned the next task.
“Your authority is like that of a god. A few words and a few glances from you are enough to make these people completely convinced. Things have come to this point, and there is no need for Xena’s follow-up plans.” Lilith said with admiration.
Los smiled and said, "My subordinates have worked so hard, I can't be too lazy. This is just a safety net, a bottom line for deterrence. And what Sheena prepared wasn't useless."
"The battle between the Green Covenant and the Dagon Cult tonight marks the official start of the war between the two sides, and the traces they left behind can be used for our next plan."
As he spoke, Los turned to look out the window: "New bugs are coming in soon, and we have no reason to show them any mercy."
"Understood, my great and wise master."
Los turned around and took out a map of the entire Arkham.
“We have completely taken control of the central area, and the commercial area is also practically under our control. After this incident, the college area is within our grasp as well. We have Elizabeth in the wealthy area, and she is on our side in dealing with the military faction.”
“These four areas represent the core area of Arkham and are the main activity areas.”
Lilith looked down at the map and asked, "You mean..."
“Let’s play a real game, a game of extreme madness and death,” Los said, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
The way this approach to dealing with the Green Covenant gave Los many new ideas and also made him realize the power of the people.
In many situations, I don't even need to show my face. As long as I can mobilize these people, those outsiders will have no chance of hiding here.
At the same time, these people reminded him of his old profession: designing team adventure games.
Los reached out and placed it in the center of the area, saying, "Their core objective this time is me. They need to completely control the government in Arkham so that they can gain control of Innsmouth and future events."
"In other words, the chessboard for this game is the central area, which I will design myself. I will let them know the true face of the legendary Arkham."
Upon hearing this, Lilith's expression gradually became excited: "Master, this must be a very interesting thing."
Los smiled and nodded, his eyes sweeping over the area, circling the three key points.
Arkham Sanatorium, City Hall, Courthouse, Prison.
These three locations are where the Hand of Chaos fought before, and where a group of gang members were driven completely insane. They will also be the focus of this group of investigators' investigation.
"Their purpose in coming in is nothing more than to overthrow my regime and secretly take control of the government."
"Perfect, I prefer to operate in the shadows."
Chapter 0103 Everyone's a Villain
After setting his target, Los naturally wouldn't sit idle. He immediately called the police station to bring him detailed information about the six people.
These six people were originally designed as NPCs in the game. Although they appear to be normal, they all possess some very special abilities in private, and one of them is even a true son of an evil god.
The original design intended these six NPCs to be key to defeating the headless mayor; only by completely eliminating the six NPCs could the hidden boss, the headless mayor, be triggered.
Lately, Los has been so focused on development that he's almost forgotten about the NPCs he designed himself.
This incident made Los suddenly realize that only after completely controlling them could he truly have complete control over the entire Central District, both in the legal and illegal worlds.
When Sheriff Harden heard these six names, he was taken aback, wondering what the mayor meant by suddenly summoning these six people. He then searched through the files in detail and soon discovered that the mayor's understanding and insight into the entire city far exceeded the limits of their imagination.
First: Kenneth Heath, private investigator, residing at 136 Corvina.
A former police officer in the capital, he retired after losing four fingers in battle and returned to Arkham to run a detective agency. He has exceptional investigative and deductive abilities, but he is a cunning man who is involved in both the legal and illegal worlds.
He had a record of stalking fifteen times and breaking and entering eighteen times, but none of these resulted in convictions. He once solved a major case involving a University of Michigan student who drowned after drinking, and he also helped the government dismantle a cult called the Creators of Life.
What's rather strange is that shortly after the cult was destroyed, his four fingers, which had been blown off, grew back, but no one mentioned it.
Second: Garrison Hindwal, the only licensed plastic surgeon in all of Arkham, with excellent skills and reputation, lives at 568 Marsh Street.
Despite his outwardly glamorous appearance, he secretly incurred a large gambling debt at the Rhodes Merchant Guild's casino, thus providing them with professional cosmetic surgery services while constantly being coerced by the Rhodes Merchant Guild.
Under immense threat and moral condemnation, Sindval seems to have undergone a transformation. He is implicated in the deaths of at least twenty gang members, but there is no direct evidence. Strangely, the Rhodes Merchant Guild has not pursued the matter against him.
Third: Portland Chambers, a lawyer with no moral compass, lives at 589 Marsh Street.
Chambers, who had previously worked in the Imperial capital, came to Arkham for unknown reasons, where he helped at least twenty criminals escape punishment and earned a large sum of money in legal fees.
Despite making a lot of money, he became extremely poor and didn't even own a car.
What's rather strange is that all the prisoners who escaped punishment with his help later died in accidents for various reasons.
Fourth place: Mark Crawford, owner of Crawford Restaurant, located at the northeast corner of Garrison Boundary. Crawford Restaurant is a noble restaurant with a long history and is the most expensive restaurant in Arkham, bar none.
Their boss, Mark Crawford, wields considerable influence in the city center, yet few people actually see him. He is rumored to have connections with many high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Crawford seems to have joined some special organization. His home is filled with unique decorations, and he has adopted many stray cats. He is a very kind-hearted person.
It is alarming that Crawford was indirectly linked to sixteen murders, all of whom had a history of abusing cats.
Fifth: Atlético, owner of Atlético Billiards Hall, located at 139 Armitage Street.
The billiard hall in Lear was frequented by a large number of gang members every day, and it was common to see many people carrying guns inside. In previous years, people died outside the billiard hall almost every day.
Strangely enough, none of these arrogant and even crazy gang members dared to cause trouble in the billiard hall.
Legend has it that Lil possesses special powers, and some people have witnessed him throwing a thug ten meters away with one arm.
Sixth: Ben Kos, owner of Kos Tattoo Shop, located at 443 Fish Street.
Kos is a pale-skinned, bald young man whose body is covered by unusual tattoos. His room is filled with all sorts of strange patterns that seem to belong to a different world.
Kos was a very taciturn man; no one knew where he was from or when he arrived in Arkham.
Kos himself was suspected of twelve disappearances, but there was no evidence whatsoever, and he couldn't even find the missing people.
According to eyewitnesses late at night, he was holding a strange blade made of flesh and blood.
That person is still living in Arkham Sanatorium.
After reviewing the data, Harden let out a sigh of relief and muttered, "No wonder the previous sheriff never let us see this data; what kind of monsters are these?"
At this moment, Conte walked in, looked down at the documents, and said seriously, "Sheriff, these people might be of special use to the mayor."
“I know the Imperial army has blocked all routes from Arkham to the interior. We can’t just sit here and wait to die.” Harden said, packing up the documents and handing them to a policeman to deliver to the mayor.
“These people are extremely dangerous,” Harden said in a low voice.
After reading this information, even this tough man felt a little guilty.
Kant didn't seem to care much. He patted Harden on the shoulder and said, "Even if he were a devil crawling out of hell, I think the mayor could easily rule him."
Upon hearing this, Harden looked up and saw certainty and admiration on Conte's face.
“Yes, the mayor is the true guardian of Arkham,” Harden said in a firm and powerful voice.
Los, who was at home, had already obtained information on these six people.
Although he had a relatively comprehensive understanding of these six NPCs, their understanding had been supplemented by the rules of this world, so he didn't know exactly how far these guys had progressed at this stage.
After looking at the materials carefully, Los handed them to Lilith so she could take a look as well.
"It's alright, they haven't grown to the point of being out of my control yet."
“This Kos is very dangerous,” Lilith said suddenly after reading the information.
After listening, Los said approvingly, "No wonder it is my most perfect collection."
“Kos is a true offspring of an evil god, possessing strength at level sixty,” Los said.
Upon hearing the number "level 60," Lilith's face turned somewhat solemn.
