Chapter 0014 Arkham Sanatorium
Los believes in Daryl's importance to his family and his abilities.
His next focus was not on the city government, but on finding some suitable servants and subordinates.
Although Darryl is the city manager, he does not have many substantive powers.
And if you have to run a huge city without some reliable manpower, you will probably be sold by someone else and you will still be counting money for others.
Nowadays, Los is surrounded by tigers and wolves. There are not many places where he can find suitable servants, but it is not impossible.
That night, Ross sat in his study and read municipal information and summaries all night, and finally had a general understanding of Arkham City today.
The situation was much more complicated than he imagined.
In the report, he saw spies from three major imperial military intelligence agencies, who were searching for the entrances to the ancient dungeon labyrinths beneath Arkham and the forbidden objects hidden within them.
We also saw twelve cults headed by the Hand of Chaos, the Forbidden Door, and the Egg of the Black Goat. They used the chaos and darkness here to worship the three evil gods that symbolized chaos, time and space, and gestation.
He also saw the Danny Gang, a large gang that controlled most of Arkham's land transportation, secretly digging into Arkham's rich mines.
There are also extraordinary organizations that claim to protect mankind and maintain justice, including the Green Covenant, which blocked the Dunwich incident seven years ago; the Guardians of the Night, who expel alien monsters; and the Oath Foundation, which specializes in collecting various extraordinary creatures.
There are also mercenaries who specialize in the supernatural, the Eye of Alama and the Alliance of the Unseen.
He even saw the Arkham branch of the Redemption Society, the most mysterious and powerful secret society in the world that claims to be able to dominate the course of human history.
These behemoths are lurking here for their own purposes, seeming to be waiting for something, and seem to be brewing something.
In the early morning, the sunlight illuminated the dim study room through the window. Ross stretched his body and looked out the window.
"Hey, this question is a bit out of line."
Looking along the way, all his previous basic settings have become a thing of the past, and the development of all organizations has far exceeded his expectations.
"Master, breakfast is ready." Carrington's voice came from outside the door.
Lose gathered his thoughts and said, "Things still have to be done step by step. Let's go look for subordinates first."
After eating almost twenty kilograms of food, Los put on his decent suit and instead of going to the city hall, he walked north along the street.
Went to Arkham Sanatorium located behind my home.
Arkham Sanatorium was built forty years ago under the leadership of his great-grandfather, with funding from his family and the government, for unknown reasons.
The nursing home has fifty beds, and the cost of normal hospitalization is 110 yuan per month, which is a lot of money.
Of course, there are also many poor patients here. These patients have almost no chance of being cured and are considered forgotten people left here to die.
The sanatorium is a rather huge gray-white building with five floors above ground and three floors underground.
The sanatorium is surrounded by huge dark red walls, and there are ferocious iron bars on the walls to prevent patients from climbing over casually.
But even so, patients often escape through various miraculous operations.
The nursing home has a small staff, with a total of three attending doctors, fifteen medical staff, five security personnel, and two maintenance workers.
According to Los's memory, Arkham Sanatorium was still normal in the past few years, but it has gradually deteriorated in the past ten years.
With the decline of the Kalam family, the power of each region gradually increased. Although this place is still the property of the Arkham family, it has become a prison that has changed its direction.
Here are imprisoned many people who various organizations do not want others to see but cannot die. These people are generally mentally disturbed and unable to communicate due to some special circumstances, but they still hide important secrets.
Since then, the income of the entire sanatorium's employees has increased significantly, and the overall income has increased fifteen times compared with before, becoming the main source of income for the Arkham family.
Standing at the dark gate of the sanatorium, the thick iron door is heavier and stronger than that of the prison.
There were two armed guards standing at the door. When they saw Los coming, they saluted respectfully and then opened the side door for Ross.
The staff here are not loyal to the Arkham family, but there is still a surface level of respect.
Walking in from the gate, you will see a relatively empty playground. This playground was originally used for patients to move around. Unfortunately, today's patients have almost no chance to get out of that building.
Ross came here today to announce something and gather everyone here under his command. This is his backyard, the core talent pool, and no possibility of betrayal is allowed.
When you walk into the building, the first thing you see is a relatively wide hall. There are two stairs leading upstairs on both sides of the hall, and there is a counter in the middle.
At this time, sitting behind the counter, was a middle-aged female nurse wearing white clothes.
"Master Ross!" Seeing Ross approaching, the female nurse hurriedly stood up and said hello.
Ross smiled and nodded: "Morning, hard-working lady, is Dr. Kuervin here?"
"Already here, Master Ross, in his office." The female nurse said and walked out from the counter.
She was a little surprised at this time. In her impression of Ivan, Master Ross was a relatively reserved and gloomy person who didn't like to laugh. He always had a straight face and was unreasonable, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
But today, Master Ross gives people an approachable and relaxed feeling.
"This way, please." The female nurse smiled and led Los to the office on the second floor.
"There's nothing unusual in the nursing home recently, right?" Ross asked as he walked.
The female nurse said: "Patients 305 and 307 suddenly had a mental breakdown for some unknown reason. They kept hitting their heads against the wall, and we had to use suppressors to restrict their movements."
"Patients 401 and 419 didn't know what method was used. They secretly went to the ward on the second floor underground, and then yelled that they were the sons of the ancient gods. We gave them sedatives and they are still awake."
"Patient No. 513 seems to have recovered, but I always feel a little weird. I think releasing him like this will definitely threaten the safety of others."
Listening to the female nurse talking about the situation here, Ross also looked for familiar characters based on his own settings.
It's a pity that he doesn't know the numbers of any of these five patients.
In the setting, he designed five special patients here, two are related to the dungeon maze, and two have undergone mental mutation, which is one of his goals today, and they are completely crazy people.
However, now he is confident to cure her.
