LIGHTNOVELONLINE the last gentleman
Chapter 215 Dead City
Chapter 215 Dead City
There is already a high-class carriage waiting outside the door of the gentleman's hall,
Everyone gave priority to letting Mr. Hrvoye get in the car,
This old autopsy-born man wrapped himself almost airtight,
Old round hat, light brown trench coat with stand collar, dark red tie and white shirt with vertical lines.
A pair of well-fitting rain boots were tied under the trousers, or it was his unique shoe.
His hands are also wearing black rubber-like gloves.
Only the hooked nose and the surrounding wrinkle lines can be seen on the face.
Being able to work in Zion until retirement, and breaking through the limit can increase human life expectancy, it is estimated that this old gentleman may be about a hundred years old.
After getting into the car, everyone seemed more reserved, until the old man took off his round cap, revealing his long gray hair, his eagle-like eyes seemed to be able to see through everyone's physical conditions, and even 'dissected' through his eyes.
After scanning the eyes of the teammates in the carriage, the old man spoke first:
"Being able to pass Aiji's review shows that the three of you young people are still very capable.
First of all, let me explain the primary task of our trip to Ravenholm this time, and cooperate with the local gentlemen to dispose of the extra civilian corpses. I will select some special and valuable corpses for autopsy.
In addition, I may need an assistant to help me record, bag, pass tools during the autopsy, and coordinate the dissection if necessary.
Do you have experience with autopsies, or simple handling of dead bodies? "
When Yi Chen was about to raise his hand, the white-robed Luo Tesen on the side spoke first:
"The ancient magic I am proficient in is related to the flesh. My father gave me anatomy training when I was a child. I am familiar with the routine anatomy process, and I am particularly good at dealing with [blood]."
"Ancient magic, the bloodline inherited from the family? If I'm not mistaken, it should be "bloodline magic", right? "
"Yes."
"Well, let's tentatively appoint you as my assistant."
"I will do my best to assist Mr. Hervoye."
Seeing that there seems to be only one assistant, and that Luo Tesen has also received professional training, Yi Chen no longer competes for the position of assistant.
Instead of being confined to the old man's side to assist in the autopsy, Yi Chen wanted to find an opportunity to investigate this mysterious death by himself.
However, there is an important point about the conversation just now.
The ancient magic proficient in the white robe Lotson is actually related to blood, which explains why the last relic incident, why Lotson chose the [Baron route] with unknown difficulty and uncontrollable risks, but also related to blood.
Yi Chen even suspected that Luo Tesen's team hadn't eradicated the mysterious baron.
Even the baron didn't die at all, but through some form of curse transfer and disease grafting, the consciousness was combined in Luo Tesen's blood and even his brain, which had an invisible influence on him.
It was precisely because of the Baron's influence that Yi Chen felt this disobedience.
But it might be something else, Yi Chen will not easily draw conclusions without definite evidence.
As the white-robed Lotson and the old man began some anatomical exchanges, Barry, the heavy armored knight, slowly approached Yi Chen and asked in a low voice:
"William, how did you get the last incident? Did you get a suitable relic?"
"Yeah." Yi Chen pointed to his abdomen, indicating that the relic was inside.
"Congratulations! By the way, what about those two almost abnormal teammates around you? Are you also a temporary team?"
"That's not true. Jin is still in the old world, and Reagan is retreating in the power station. He may break through the human limit at any time."
Such an answer puzzled the simple-faced Barry, "You actually got two relics that fit your own attributes at once, but Miss Jin got lost in the exploration of the old world. What's the matter?"
"No, the three of us chose to split up when we first arrived in the old world to maximize the use of time."
"Separate!? Wow~ You monsters don't give commoners like us a chance to catch up."
Now that the topic has been opened, Yi Chen also began to ask some questions he was curious about.
Inquired about Barry's knight family and related characteristics, and even touched this unique "armor clothing",
According to Barry, if he can break through the limit and the armor contains more than 50% of the skin, he can make the armor an independent entity and become an armored knight to fight side by side with him.
In the combined state, "Wings of Heaven" can even grow, greatly improving the overall combat power.
The history of the Barry family can be traced back to the Middle Ages, and their ancestors were brave and skilled knights for generations. The blood passed down gave Barry an innate physique and spirit.
And chivalry can be released in the form of aura, providing boosts for all members of the team.
Barry's halo is called "heavy halo" to improve the team members' defense against physical attacks. Under the influence of the halo, the team members' clothing will even have a metal structure similar to knight armor.
……
gray clouds over the city
The carriage was driving on the open avenue, and everyone was able to glimpse the city outline of [Levenholm] through the windows, but compared to the surrounding countryside, the fog over the urban area was obviously thicker.
Some of the fog has even settled on the streets, giving it a feeling of "fog capital".
Yi Chen tried to see through the clouds with Little Putao's vision, but the effect was not good...even at night, he might not be able to see the moon.
『William, after you finish the relevant matters, if you have time, go to the cemetery here.I can smell a strong smell of the cemetery from such a distance. The cemetery of the third largest city under this organization must be different.
The specifications and number of buried corpses are probably several times that of the Seven-day Cemetery. 』
"Well, if you have spare time, take the time to take a look. 』
Carriages drive down the avenue into the city,
Even through the car windows, you can intuitively feel the dead silence. The streets are empty, every house is sealed, and occasionally a pair of eyes can be seen from the closed curtains to observe the passing vehicles.
When passing by open spaces, squares or parks, you can see a temporary "mortuary" made of special steel plates and tents
Some gentlemen wrapped in overcoats and wearing breathing masks are transporting the corpses. All the corpses are sealed with black cloth bags to prevent the possible death factors in their bodies from leaking out.
Horse-drawn carriages shuttle through the city,
If you put aside the fog and this sense of death, the whole city is actually quite normal, and the streets and buildings give people a very clean feeling.
at this time,
Yi Chen accidentally caught a group of mice that came out of the sewer, but they didn't look like they were looking for food, but were running regularly.
They seem to feel the vision on the carriage, and their running speed has become the same as that of the carriage, and the two are relatively still.
Following Yi Chen's gaze, the mice actually started to change their formation.
Just then, a voice came: "William, what are you looking at?"
The white-haired Luo Tesen squeezed over suddenly, and moved his head closer to the car window, looking out the window together.
The mice that had been running along with the carriage immediately stopped and dispersed quickly.
"So you're looking at these little creatures~ Indeed, in a city haunted by death, any creature may be affected. Is there anything wrong with these mice?"
"Not yet."
The carriage finally stopped at the Town Hall,
The managers of Ravenholm were already overwhelmed, and they didn't care about the group of students like Yi Chen who came to do the task. It was only because of Mr. Helvoye's identity that they got a temporary friendly reception.
Only Hervoye was invited into the mayor's office, and the three of Yi Chen waited outside.
about half an hour passed,
Hervoye lowered the brim of his hat to hide his unsightly expression, "I have obtained the [Autopsy Certificate], which can test any mortuary, come with me~ Let's start with the earliest dead, I hope not too late."
