Chapter 71
Chapter 69: Ivan’S Fear
Hearing Rose’s warning, Armitage suddenly regained his senses and remembered his other identity. He took a deep breath, suppressed his inner curiosity, and sighed with the last bit of warning about Loss in his heart: “Thank you very much. Reminder, I shouldn’t ask so much.”
The light in Ross’s eyes flowed. From this sentence, he could be completely sure that this Dr. Armitage really belongs to an organization related to transcendence.
Otherwise, with his normal personality, he might be hesitant at this time, but he still couldn’t suppress his curiosity about knowledge.
But he completely refused, which means that he still has some special vigilance and scruples about himself, which prevents him from having too much contact with him.
Immediately, Ross didn’t continue to say more, and directly changed the subject to chat with him first.
He doesn’t need Dr. Armitage to join him directly now. This kind of talent is preferably the kind of lure that has been subtly induced. Gradually falling in is the most perfect.
The two talked for about two hours. At 4:30 in the afternoon, Ross left the library with a satisfied smile and took the materials.
For about ten days after that, the entire city of Arkham seemed to be in a calm to terrifying development.
Ross is still working hard every day, and the renovation project of the slum street has officially started.
This renovation is very thorough. The ground has been completely excavated, and the drainage system, gas system and water supply system of this slum street have to be reorganized.
Such a thorough project immediately made the poor people who occupy 60% of the population of the entire central area grateful, and could not wait to worship this great mayor directly as a god.
Ross has been working day and night with super high efficiency. In the past ten days, he has completely completed the public ownership and adaptation of the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce, and the relevant key personnel are also in place.
At the same time, the messy public security problems in the central area are also under the tremendous efforts of the police. In less than a month, the crime rate has become the second-lowest area.
The prosperity of the central area does not mean that other areas are as stable as the central area.
Recently, there have been some very serious wounding incidents in the North District and the East District, and there have even been occasional explosions, causing panic in the two places.
Ivan is one of them, and he is even more frightened than everyone else, because two of the explosions are related to him.
“Damn it! Those lunatics! Lunatics!” In the early morning, Ivan knelt on the ground with a pale face, his head kept hitting the wall, and he murmured in a very bad state.
Recently, he has been out day and night, investigating the looted medicines in the Eastern District. Among them, he also fought against the pirates of the Tide Pirates several times, and he was almost caught twice.
Although he felt that he was gradually approaching the truth, he was the first to feel that his spirit was a little unsustainable.
Those crazy Innsmouth people, they would turn back into their hideous and terrifying disgusting appearance at night, and they would make him nauseous just by getting close.
Those monsters were extremely fierce and crazy, especially two times when he hid in the shadows. When he turned around and saw that pale and ferocious face, he was so frightened that his hair exploded and his hands and feet were cold.
However, the most important thing is that in the past ten days, three investigators have died tragically at their hands.
And these tragically dead guys can’t even get the whole body to be buried. They have a special method to turn the corpses of their companions into dog food, and the dogs that eat the dog food will get weird evolution and become crazy.
Looking down at his left arm, there was a wound with deep visible bone on his left forearm, which looked like it was bitten by some kind of monster with ferocious teeth.
At this time, yellow pus was constantly flowing out of the pale skin and flesh. Although the blood had stopped overnight, it did not mean any healing.
And the most important thing is that some of the bacteria in this wound are completely useless.
At this time, centered on the ferocious bite wounds, the pale flesh was gradually spreading, and even in the center of the wound, the completely festering rotten flesh could be faintly seen, and a disgusting smell could be smelled just by getting closer.
“Damn it! Damn it! It’s only one step away! Only one step away!” Ivan didn’t dare to go to the hospital. Those monsters were very powerful. After so many contacts, they already knew themselves very well, and even started to carry out all day’s manhunt.
“Dong dong dong!”
Suddenly, there was a knock on his door.
This very ordinary knock on the door made Ivan’s clothes soaked in sweat in an instant, and his heart couldn’t help beating faster.
“Who?” Ivan asked, trying his best to keep his voice normal.
A steady voice came from outside the door: “Police, I need your assistance in the investigation.”
Hearing this, Ivan suddenly thought of the police officers who were called monsters in the central area, and hurriedly tied his arms, Ivan walked over and carefully opened the door, revealing a gap.
Through the gap, he saw a burly, bronze-skinned police officer in a police uniform. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
He knows this policeman, who is now a well-known Jike detective in the central area.
“Officer, what’s the matter?” Ivan asked lazily, which was more suitable for his current expression.
Gek asked: “Last night, there was a shootout in Derby Street, and then the gunmen ran around here, did you see it?”
Ivan shook his head and said, “Sorry, officer, I haven’t been very well these past two days. I slept very hard. I didn’t even hear the sound of gunfire.”
Gek lowered his head and stared at Ivan’s face. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Okay, pay attention to your body.”
After speaking, he turned and left.
Watching the oppressive police officer leave, Ivan locked the door and heaved a deep sigh of relief: “This guy is at least level 20!”
“The streets are full of 20th-level police officers? What the **** is this place!” Ivan cursed, reassuring himself that he wanted to leave.
“Last night’s shootout? This North District is the site of the Redemption Society. The people making trouble here are probably the witches from the Forbidden Gate. Stay away from me!”
……
In the offices of the City Hall in the central district.
Darryl Hui reported: “The renovation of the slums has been very smooth, the integration of the core industries in the central area has been completed, and the salary adjustment and classification of public officials have begun to be officially implemented.”
Ross nodded with satisfaction: “Very good, Darryl.”
Darryl went on to report: “Mayor, the battle between the Forbidden Gate and the Redemption Society is getting more and more intense. Now the whole North District is panicking, are we really not ready to start?”
Ross said with a smile: “Of course I won’t give up my lovely citizen, but we need a suitable opportunity now, and I’m not going to leave this time.”
