At this moment, five people were already sitting quietly in the conference room of Arkham Sanatorium.
They exchanged glances, a sense of unease settling in their hearts.
A dozen minutes ago, that nightmarish woman approached them. She knew everything about them, and they found themselves no match for her.
So they were brought here and have been waiting for ten minutes.
"Ms. Arkham, what are we waiting for here?"
"Tall and well-maintained, dressed in a smart white suit, the owner of the Crawford restaurant, Mark Crawford asked tentatively."
The others also looked at Lilith with longing eyes.
They had all witnessed the battle between Los and the Rhodes Merchant Guild after Los took power, and they saw Los's complete suppression of the Rhodes Merchant Guild throughout the entire process.
They had some dealings or business relationships with the Hand of Chaos and the Rhodes Merchant Guild in the past, and on several occasions they tried to get involved.
However, having been established in Arkham for many years, they knew very well that they should not reveal themselves at this time, and that self-preservation was the best approach.
Finally, after he brought out thirty level 20 superhumans and swiftly and decisively destroyed the Hand of Chaos, they realized that their judgment was correct.
For a long time afterward, they didn't engage in any of their own activities, fearing that the terrifying police would appear at their doorstep the next morning.
They thought they had escaped unscathed, but today that nightmarish woman finally came knocking on their door.
Of the five people present, four had experienced what happened ten years ago, and the only one who hadn't, Detective Kenneth, had learned of Lilith's name from ten years ago through special channels.
During this time, they had heard a lot about the name Lilith Arkham and still held onto a sliver of hope that this was not the same person from ten years ago.
But after seeing her today, they found that she had become more powerful, more perfect, and also more terrifying.
Standing at the front of the conference table, Lilith smiled dignifiedly and said, "Don't worry, inviting you all here today is not to endanger your lives, but simply to have you fulfill your responsibilities."
"Responsibility? What responsibility?" The five people were stunned after hearing this.
Lilith maintained that perfect smile, remaining motionless, as if a mask covered her face.
Five minutes later, the conference room door opened, and everyone turned to look, then quickly stood up.
"Mayor!" everyone exclaimed hurriedly.
At this moment, no one dared to underestimate this young mayor.
Subdue Lilith, create a massive superhuman police force, and swiftly eliminate the Hand of Chaos.
This made them realize that they were not on the same level as the other party.
Los sat down in the main seat of the meeting room with a smile on his face, and Lilith respectfully poured him a cup of chocolate coffee.
This drink, which is extremely high in sugar and energy, is Los's favorite.
"My dear citizens, don't be shy, have a seat!" Los took a sip of coffee, finding it fragrant, sweet, and thick due to the large amount of sugar added. The coffee made him feel very comfortable all over.
"My lovely citizens?" The five people looked at each other, and as acquaintances in the superhuman circle, they knew each other to some extent.
None of the people here are associated with the word "cute".
"Sit down!" Los said calmly.
Everyone felt a chill and quickly sat down obediently.
Los took another sip and then said, "I'm a little hungry now, so I'll keep it short."
“You know very well what you have done in the past, and I know very well too.”
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they gradually became tense.
Los continued, "But you were wise enough not to cause trouble for me when the Hand of Chaos was destroyed. That's why you're still sitting here instead of in this Arkham Asylum ward."
Glug!
Upon hearing this, these people swallowed hard without saying a word.
As soon as they entered through the gate, they could feel that the sanatorium was no longer what it used to be. At this moment, both the medical staff and the patients here had transcended the boundaries of ordinary humans and were evolving towards superhumans.
The faint roars and unusual fluctuations emanating from beneath the ground terrified them, as if some incredibly terrifying being lurked below.
Los said calmly, "Cleansing up the Rhodes Merchant Guild won't have much impact on Arkham's underworld, and the people here are all important figures in that underworld."
At this moment, the billiard hall owner, Atelier, tentatively asked, "Mr. Mayor, please feel free to ask if you need anything."
Los smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Lil. The reason I invited you all here today is that I hope you can become better citizens."
Chapter 0108 Arkham's Little Hero (Third Update)
Over the next hour, Los and Lilith used some very “ordinary” and “easy-to-understand” methods to help these people understand how to be good, helpful citizens.
Debbie and Rum, who were waiting outside the conference room, naturally heard the screams coming from inside.
The two children looked at each other, puzzled. They had just heard Dr. Kuer say that the great mayor was teaching these six people some special knowledge, but why was there such a piercing scream? The two children were completely baffled.
"Could there be a spy among them who wanted to attack the mayor, but was subdued by Ms. Beautiful Lilith?" Rum asked tentatively.
Debbie hesitated for a moment and then said, "That's possible."
"Hey! What are you two little guys doing here?" Dr. Pochi, another attending physician at the hospital and a former undercover agent for the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce, asked curiously.
These two little guys are now familiar faces at the nursing home; everyone knows they are Dr. Murthy's students.
Rum said with a smile, "Reporting to Professor Poch, we are waiting for the mayor to assign us tasks."
There are four attending physicians in the sanatorium, all of whom are very knowledgeable. The two hardworking and studious little ones also consult with the other doctors when they have time.
These doctors were naturally very willing to teach them, considering them as half-students.
Pochi smiled and nodded: "Then you must work hard!"
He left in a hurry after saying that.
“Dr. Poch seems very busy,” Rum asked curiously.
Debbie said, "Of course we're busy. Don't you know that two patients have suddenly gone mad recently? They've even started to awaken special abilities. Dr. Pochi and his team are conducting detailed experiments and investigations with the mayor's permission."
"Huh!? How come I didn't know?" Rum blinked in surprise.
Debbie pursed her lips and said, "And you're not interested in psychiatry."
Rum immediately understood after hearing this.
Although the two grew up and studied together, they had different focuses in terms of talent and hobbies.
Bold yet meticulous, and with a calm demeanor, Debbie focuses on knowledge of psychiatry and psychology. Her favorite thing to do now is to explore the principles of human mental variation and related knowledge about human emotions.
So she often mingled with doctors and patients in mental hospitals.
Rum, who was competitive, radical, and liked to show off, was more direct and pragmatic; he learned practical knowledge.
For example, combat, human anatomy, biology, and methods of human physical evolution, etc.
Therefore, he spent most of his time in Murcy's laboratory.
"What abilities do those two patients have?" Rum asked curiously.
Debbie didn't hide anything: "Number 03122, his split spirits are beginning to take shape, and each has its own distinct will of consciousness. They are starting to fight for Number 03122's body. At the same time, under the influence of Number 03122's different personalities, his body will gradually change towards the characteristics of those different personalities."
After saying that, Debbie said seriously, "It was a real change. When he thought he was a wolf, I saw with my own eyes that his skin started to grow hair!"
Hearing this, a normal person would definitely be terrified, but Rum was excited: "This guy seems very interesting. Do you have time to draw some of his blood?"
"You'll have to ask Dr. Kur." Debbie couldn't make that decision.
Rum nodded and wrote it down, then asked, "And the second one?"
"The second one is number 04134, which we will call the gatekeeper for now. He has a special influence on doors. He can open all locked doors with his bare hands and can connect two different doors."
"Connection? What does that mean?"
"It's a bit complicated to explain, but you'll understand when you have time to go."
The meeting room door opened while the two were talking.
The five people who had just been invited today walked out pale-faced and with shifty eyes. They looked like wilted eggplants, completely unlike their confident demeanor when they first arrived.
At this moment, Los came out with Lilith, smiling and saying, "My dear citizens, I believe that with our joint efforts, Arkham will only get better and better."
Everyone looked up at Los, who had a forced expression on his face, and nodded in agreement.
After the five people left, Lilith asked, "Can they be trusted?"
Los said confidently, "Don't worry, they are all smart people and know what choices to make."
"Mayor! Ms. Lilith!" The two children stood up straight and bowed solemnly, looking quite adorable.
Lilith seemed to really like children. She smiled at the two kids and said, "Cute little ones, don't be so reserved."
Los walked over, reached out and patted the two children's heads, and said gently, "You two little heroes did a great job this time."
The meticulous Debbie deduced Karma's arrival simply from Trish's decision to cancel the operation, allowing Los to know their existence and background in advance, thus enabling him to launch a near-perfect plan ahead of time.
The clever Rum also managed to send Karma to prison at the crucial moment, bringing all these people to justice.
Being praised so highly by the great mayor and having their heads patted so affectionately made the two children feel overwhelmed with happiness.
The two little ones looked both enjoying themselves and excited. Their faces were flushed with excitement, their eyes were sparkling, and their hearts were filled with exhilaration and motivation.
After praising him, Los said, "I have a crucial task for you now."
"Please tell us! We will do our best to complete it!" the two men said enthusiastically.
Los said, "In a couple of days, some petty thieves similar to those we saw today will appear in the city, but these thieves will be even more despicable than the previous ones. I'm going to kill them all."
Hearing such cruel words, the two children didn't seem to mind at all. Rum shouted, "If you want to kill them, then they are the ones who deserve to die."
“Yes!!” Debbie nodded in agreement.
Now, in the eyes of the two children, Los is everything.
“I’ve prepared a fun game for them, and this game needs a guide. I hope you can be the guides,” Los said with a smile.
Debbie grew increasingly excited: "Is it the kind that leads them step by step into a trap?"
Los smiled and nodded: "Yes, we must let these outside saboteurs know our unity and our strength!"
"No problem! No problem! Mayor, this isn't a mission for us, it's a game!" Rum exclaimed excitedly.
Los turned to Lilith and said, "Tell the two children the details. I'll go check on the two patients first."
"understand!"
