[Comprehensive British and American] Welcome to Arkham's Infinite Journey

first night 01

Arkham Asylum.

The nation's premier psychiatric assessment and rehabilitation center, established on an island on the outskirts of Gotham City.Arkham staff and psychopaths have long lived here.

In addition, the "place of the dead" in the northern part of Arkham Island is the most popular suicide site on the island.

Since the establishment of Arkham Asylum for more than 100 years, from time to time there will be crazy patients or staff who are driven crazy by patients. They climb to a high place and jump down to get relief.

No matter how strict the previous Arkham deans are, there will always be patients who can break through the siege and arrive here with strong mobility.

Today is a rare day in Gotham with clear skies and bright sunshine, yet another patient climbed up at unknown time.

The man was wearing a hospital gown with a swollen face, and stood there in a trance, which seemed abnormal at first glance.

He had no response to the shouting medical staff and guards below.Before the guard in charge of rescue arrived, the patient who had stood still for a while suddenly jumped down.

"Ahhhhhh - too late! He jumped!"

The medical staff below exclaimed for a while, and they could have expected the death of the patient after he fell to the ground, his skin was bruised and his blood was splattered.

In the nick of time!

A steel pipe was shot through the air, passing precisely through the patient's armpit.

The hospital gown was pierced, and the steel pipes abruptly nailed the patient and the gown to the rock wall, making them crumbling.

Not only the surrounding medical staff and guards were stunned, but even the patient himself was stunned.Everyone maintained some funny expressions and stood there like a wooden man.

This explosive terrifying power...

Everyone stared at the familiar steel pipe for a long time, turned their heads stiffly, and looked at the iron gate not far away that had been partially dismantled by someone with bare hands. Behind everyone was a man with long silver hair.

This is their new dean: Sephiroth.

No one knows where Sephiroth came from, and even Sephiroth's tenure is full of mysteries.

However, the patients of Arkham have a strange consensus-Sephiroth was granted the post of dean by the ghost of Arkham's founder, Dr. Amadeus Arkham.

Arkham has long had frightening legends that the founder's ghost never left.

However, this legend is mostly spread among patients, and the staff only think that the patient's madness is getting worse.

after all……

This is Arkham Asylum.

From the outside, the newly promoted Dean Sephiroth's face is exquisite and gorgeous to the point of astonishment.

When he came walking, he stood under the sunlight, and the sunlight poured down on his long silver hair, reflecting a soft and gorgeous brilliance.

He has a pair of pale eyes and light blue pupils that are slightly vertical. In a trance, it always makes people feel that the Son, the Holy Spirit and the angels have come to the world from heaven, and the sacred hymn is also lingering around him. He is The embodiment of all the virtues in the world.

Most of the citizens of the Stars and Stripes have religious beliefs, and Christianity is the most popular among them.

In the first volume of the "Bible", the beginning of "Genesis", it is said that there is a tree of life named Sephiroth in the Garden of Eden in heaven, and its fruit can make people get immortal life.

The name goes back even further to Jewish mythology.

Strictly speaking, "Sephiroth" is a religious term.

It is a stream of energy sent by God to the void during creation. It contains ten properties: kindness, wisdom, understanding, greatness, strength, beauty, victory, excellence, foundation and heaven.

The appearance of Sephiroth, the new dean of Arkham, and the perfect appearance as if the Son of God came, made everyone think that this is a sign that God has not given up on Gotham City and Arkham.

In short, Arkham Asylum ushered in a very popular dean.

Everyone relaxed. They didn't feel that the scene just now was too exaggerated. Instead, they took it for granted that no matter what Dean Sephiroth did or could do.

Everyone looked at Sephiroth with reverence and longing in their eyes, and the original panic was gone.

Everyone's voices were in unison: "Dean Sephiroth."

Sephiroth nodded, and his eyes fell on the patient who was nailed to the rock wall by himself. The patient's condition did not look very good: "Save people first."

It took the guards less time than expected to work together to save the patient in midair.

——As long as Sephiroth is located, the work efficiency of Arkham employees is always higher than usual, and even the crazy patients are quieter.

But what was unexpected was that the rescued patient had his head down, his pupils were dilated, and he was out of breath.

"died?"

Everyone gathered around and felt a strange feeling.

Sephiroth also felt a little confused. Could it be that this patient's heart is not very good?

After becoming the dean of Arkham, Sephiroth did his duty and read all the patient's medical records, but he didn't remember that this patient had any physical problems other than the spirit.

The dead patient was put on a stretcher by strong guards, covered with a white cloth, and ready to be carried away.

Sephiroth's gaze suddenly froze, and he sensed something was wrong. He stretched out his hand above the patient's body and made a "hold" motion.

The others looked at him inexplicably.

Sephiroth did not explain, explained the follow-up matters, and left alone.

Back in the dean's office, Sephiroth spread out his hands, and he pinched a glowing transparent stone at his fingertips.This was picked up from above the patient's body, and no one else seemed to be able to see it except himself.

This invisible thing in the eyes of others cannot break free in the hands of Sephiroth.Look carefully, there seem to be countless characters rotating in the small transparent stone according to certain rules.

After thinking for a moment, Sephiroth injected his own power into it.

next moment.

A slightly mechanical voice echoed in Sephiroth's mind.

[Detection of unknown energy intrusion, began to counterattack. ]

[The counterattack is invalid, start the defense program. ]

[The defensive barrier was breached by unknown energy. ]

[Enable self-destruct mode. ]

[Self-destruct procedure initiated...]

[Self-destruct fails, loses control. ]

The mechanical sound stopped abruptly, and the light in the stone dimmed.

Sephiroth's power was unstoppable, and after turning around inside, Sephiroth understood many things, including why the patient who had the accident died suddenly.

This is a very special "stone".

To be precise, it can be called the "unlimited world mission system".

Every player who enters the infinite world will have such a system.It follows the player in an invisible state, generates character attributes and task panels for it, informs the player what needs to be done, and connects to the mall in the infinite world for item exchange.

Most importantly, it is a "key" for players to enter and exit the infinite world to perform tasks.

The patient who died strangely was the real owner of this "system".

Because the opponent died in the "virtual" infinite world, and the soul left the body, the real body was controlled by the system to perform the "death operation".

It is estimated that the steel pipe that Sephiroth flew to save people that day not only shocked ordinary people, but even the emotionless system was startled, and there was a short-term system freeze.

Originally, when the system completed the player's final "death operation", it would naturally leave and go to an unknown place.As a result, the system was grabbed by Sephiroth as soon as it was separated from the player's body, and it was violently cracked.

Now the system that has lost all vitality in the hands of Sephiroth, all other functions have disappeared, leaving only the most basic function of the system-entering and exiting the infinite world.

The premise, of course, is that someone can "see" the defunct system and trigger the function autonomously.

Sephiroth held the defunct system and fiddled with it for a while, and then he felt how to trigger it. It was not difficult, but it took a little time to inquire about what an "infinite world" is.

After understanding the meaning, danger, and uncertainty of the "infinite world", Sephiroth finally understood why the patient suffered from severe persecution paranoia and lived in despair every day.

For ordinary people, going to an uncertain, dangerous world every once in a while, where one wrong step can lead to tragic death, will indeed bring a lot of mental pressure.

Moreover, in this "unknown" world, all kinds of things may happen, and all kinds of creatures may exist.Ordinary people die in a variety of ways, and the horror is completely different. In many cases, the greatest danger is not from the outside world but from companions, and there is no end to the end of the suffering.

This lonely, hopeless and insecure world can easily drive a normal person crazy.

"It's like raising a Gu."

Seeing that the time was about the same, Sephiroth put away the scrapped system, and began to perform his duties after he came to this world and became the headmaster of Arkham.

Under normal circumstances, the work of a director of a mental hospital is nothing more than infrastructure, logistics, medical treatment, scientific research, personnel, finance, logistics, administration, prevention, and teaching.

Due to the high crime rate in Gotham City and the endless emergence of super criminals, the dean of Arkham also has some more jobs that cannot be put on the bright side, and at the same time maintains a close relationship with both the light and dark forces in Gotham City. With subtle relationship.

Dean Arkham, who couldn't handle these relationships well and wasn't strong enough himself, all "retired" very quickly.

Now Sephiroth has become the director of Arkham Asylum, so far, his daily life is different from all previous directors.

Maybe it's because of his short term relationship?

Holding the storybook he found in the library, Sephiroth came outside the sanatorium building located in the south of Arkham Island, and was warmly welcomed by many patients who had been waiting here early.

In a corner of the open space outside the sanatorium building, there are many pews like those in the church neatly arranged.

On weekdays, the slightly indifferent patients all sat obediently in their positions, not making noise, quietly as if they were statues occupying the bench, staring at Sephiroth with pairs of glowing eyes, the eyes were empty And longing, waiting for their new dean to open the storybook and tell them stories in a gentle voice.

Yes……

tell a story.

Very ordinary story.

These patients showed the earnestness and piety of listening to the Gospel during Mass.

It seems that no matter what Sephiroth reads for them, it is the gospel from the kingdom of heaven to them. The existence of Sephiroth itself is a gift from the gods, and his voice can cleanse the hearts of everyone.

Because of the piety and earnestness of the patients, many patients did improve in the process, so Sephiroth was not perfunctory when doing this.

Sephiroth, who comes from another world and has no religious beliefs.After a long river of time, he has long been able to wander in the universe and travel through time.

When he saw these patients worthy of sympathy, he also hoped that the kind souls tortured by pain could be recovered.

As for those guys who like to trouble others.

"I appreciate your courage."
