the last gentleman

Chapter 20
"My name is Kadaishi Haji, thank you Mr. William for your treatment."

"Ah."

Yi Chen sat down at the reserved seat.

Two exquisite main courses, soup and dessert are prepared in front of each person.

Avongrad style sashimi,

Braised fish cubes,

A large fish roe and vegetable pie,
Mushroom Fish Bone Soup,

There are bright red, purple, green and white dishes in front of you. If it is not for the compelling aroma, it is really hard to eat.

during meals,

While gnawing on the fish, the boss asked in a low voice:

"Have you seen through the essence of the town?"

Yi Chen quickly waved his hand, "Huh? It's not enough to see through the essence, but I just barely understand the symptoms and process of the disease in Green Lake Town, or it is a [screening mechanism].

If my analysis is correct,

Pathological infection should be divided into three stages:
Direct or indirect contact with the water source in Green Lake Township will lead to the invasion of pathogens.

Thus begins the "first phase".

At this stage, the body will slowly grow some fish scales, and begin to yearn for underwater life.

It should also be able to receive instructions from the 'parasitic mother'.

The main structure of the body is still in the human category, and there is no significant change... She lives in a small town normally, and organizes various activities to attract more tourists to come here.

Wait until the state of the first stage is stable, or reach a certain target.

Individuals will be given the qualifications to go to the Green Lake and get in touch with the lake water,
Officially entered the "second phase".

I personally call this stage -【Fish Transformation】

Due to the deep immersion of the lake water, the human body will undergo serious changes,
The skin is scaly, and the organs and tissues will also tend to have a fish structure, gradually transitioning to a mermaid state.

As for the third stage.

It is the state you have reached now,
Return to the land surface, remove the fish-like structure on the outside, and turn into an individual with sound consciousness. "

"You really... are different.

But there is one thing I can't understand after thinking about it all night. Why do we still provide help when we know we are sick?
You came here to investigate the root cause of the disease and eradicate it, right? "

Listening to the boss' doubts, Yi Chen put a piece of sashimi into his mouth in a leisurely manner, and answered after swallowing;

"To be precise, I'm still in the assessment period.

Some concepts and concepts are still unclear,
I just do things the 'right' way. "

Speaking of which, Miss Cardassie on the side chuckled.

The boss also showed a slight smile and didn't say anything more.
at this time,

There was a strong explosion sound outside the hotel, coming from the direction of the center of the town... At the same time, there were various hurried footsteps and impact sounds, and the town seemed to have entered a state of chaos.

Yi Chen was about to get up to check,
The boss motioned him to sit down, and said softly:

"If the 'foreign tourist' has lived in the small town for two days and is still not infected with the virus, we will take compulsory measures here.

The tourists who came to the town this time have extremely high self-control and good strength, effectively avoiding various forms of water contact.

Tonight has been designated by the mayor as [Sickness Day], and you will be forcibly purified.

But you don't have to worry... as long as you stay in the hotel, no one will come to your door. "

"Ah."

It is also a good choice to stay in the hotel until the end of the third day.

Yi Chen has self-knowledge,
Especially after meeting Edmund and others, he knew very well that his foundation was poor and he had not experienced systematic training... If he encountered a more powerful pathological body, he would have almost no chance of winning.

Just when Yi Chen readily accepted such a safety proposal,

Little Putao suddenly jumped out of his shoulders and landed on the dining table with a bounce.

Rows of teeth and eyeballs are exposed together,
Hands on hips!

The murmur of blending came from within.

"Hey~ William helped you complete the important 'transformation of patients'... You know, the human side may regard such behavior as a [crime], and may even go directly to the guillotine.

Do you really think you can get away with a meal?

Give some useful information, as well as substantial help. "

Although the appearance of the little grape's fleshy ball looks a bit funny,
But there was a tinge of coercion in these words,

Although the boss is expressionless,
But the younger sister Kadaixi moved the chair instinctively, away from the ball of meat.

Although Yi Chen was a little surprised, his expression remained unchanged... acquiescing to Little Putao's actions.

The boss looked at Xiao Putao's one-eyed eyes, and finally chose to compromise.

"I was going to talk about it after dinner,
Since you want to use the platform of 'Green Lake Town' to pass the so-called assessment and get higher scores, I will give you a special path.

Hidden in the deepest part of the lake is a [good thing].

It is this thing that supervises the process of 'fishing', and at the same time monitors and controls the diseased ones.

Once this thing is killed, it is considered to be the root cause of the town's disease.

If you have ideas in this regard, my sister and I will cooperate to disguise you as 'sacrifices' and offer them to the things at the bottom of the lake... In this way, you can easily avoid the interference of the murlocs and go straight to the target.

The dinner you ate just now is enough for you to give off enough 'fishy smell' to not be suspected. "

The words of the boss reminded Yi Chen of the time when he was swimming in the lake.
The sense of prying from the bottom of the lake is like a huge eye staring at him.

current,

Green Lake Town is undergoing a 'purge', and large-scale battles are breaking out between townspeople and other examiners, which is the best time to act.

Thus,
There are two roads leading to the end of the assessment.

1. Stay honestly in the hotel and pass the assessment safely under the cover of the boss and sister.

2. Take advantage of the best opportunity at present, go to the depths of the Green Lake under the cover of siblings, and kill the root of the disease hidden in it.

Before making a choice, Yi Chen had another question.

"If our action fails and we fail to kill the things at the bottom of the lake, you and Miss Cardassie will definitely be implicated...Why do you want to do this?"

"Mutual benefit.

The younger sister has already shed her scales and transformed into an independent thinking individual.

But because of that thing at the bottom of the lake, we're still bound here... Only by getting rid of that thing can we leave town, and I promised her to go outside and see.

It is you who makes the decision, Mr. William~ If you decide to go to the bottom of the lake, I believe you have confidence in it. "

"I need to think...give me 5 minutes."

Although he couldn't see any problem from the expressions of the siblings,
And from the information collected so far, and from an objective point of view, although the siblings are sick, they retain a certain degree of humanity.

but,

But Yi Chen is still completely unfamiliar with this world, and there are still many "position rules" that he doesn't understand.

"Little Putao, is it credible? 』

"Of course it's believable, why can't it be believable... because I am an independent individual who violated the 'pathogen root' and was reassembled and born from the cemetery without any constraints.

I can understand the feelings and thoughts of these two guys.

Such a great opportunity is in front of you, and it is worth taking the risk.

If you can do it, your assessment results will far surpass other humans, and you will be valued by the organization, and you will have more opportunities in the future, the probability of survival, and the possibility of exploring the world.

Do you agree? 』

"We have the ability to kill the root cause of the disease that controls and governs the entire town? 』

"This kind of [matrix] that needs to control a large number of parasites and is also responsible for the work of ichthyosis is often fixed in one place and cannot move.

Its essence is also a 'parasite', and it won't have much combat effectiveness.

The biggest difficulty lies in [approaching],
Any outsider who goes into the lake will not only be soaked by the lake water, but will also be attacked by mermaids.

And under the cover of brother and sister, as long as we can get close to the mother's body, everything will become easier,
Moreover.

Even if your silver ax is not enough to kill the target, this grape still has so many teeth! 』

Little Putao proudly showed her white teeth, impatient to act.

Yi Chen didn't respond immediately, but crossed his hands in front of the bridge of his nose, thinking quietly.

He has already noticed that Little Putao seems to be a little abnormal, and he is more active than ever in this matter.

When it's hard to make a choice,
Suddenly recalling the experience in the cemetery,
When fighting the living corpses, the feeling of being infinitely close to death... At the same time, he also remembered the important assistance provided by Little Putao, and it was because of the enhanced vision that he was able to leave the cemetery alive.

Huh... take a deep breath.

"If you want to survive in this world, [seek stability] is absolutely impossible, just like when I didn't stay in the wooden house, but took the initiative to go to the No. 4 cemetery to solve the trouble.

I'm also not clear about Little Putao's origin, true nature, and specific position.

Since it saved me once, I trust it unconditionally this time,
If it can survive, it proves that it is trustworthy and can cooperate for a long time in the future.

And I also need to seize this [opportunity] to stand on a higher platform... Just like I did in the orphanage when I was alive, I will seize the opportunity to leave the hospital at all costs. 』
