the last gentleman

Chapter 53

Quiet clinic room,
The sharp and ear-piercing sound of high heels is like nails, piercing the surface of the eardrum continuously... It even makes people feel that the heels are made of long nails to make such an uncomfortable sound.

and,

The sound of high-heeled shoes advancing intermittently, and there will be a pause every time you walk.

Captain Edmund also quickly realized the reason for the 'intermittent', "Is this guy patrolling the apprentice dormitories on the third floor?"

Yi Chen nodded, "It's very possible... If this is the case, it indirectly means that the other party doesn't know our exact location, and our current situation is not considered passive.

I took a peek to see if I could see what was patrolling the room. "

Edmund was a little puzzled, "What do you think? It's not a wise choice to go out now."

"You don't need to go out."

Yi Chen pointed to his shoulder, and then poked lightly.

A black meat ball was slowly squeezed out from between the collar, and the small black hand was stretched lazily, as if it hadn't woken up yet, and it didn't take the "ashing" that was happening here seriously at all.

"Little Grape,

There appears to be someone who is sick outside, checking every dormitory on the third floor.

When the other party checks into the next room, how about you go around the window and see what the other party looks like? "

"No." Little Putao refused.

"Can't you just take a look?"

"I am still in a state called 'infancy'... In this completely unknown environment where ashes occur, once you move independently from your body, the risks will increase exponentially."

Yi Chen caught a key point in these words, and responded with a smile:

"So, as long as you don't leave my body, it's fine?"

After a while

Yi Chen almost pressed his body against the window, and stretched out his entire left arm as far as possible, clinging to the outer wall, to touch the next room.

of course,

Naturally, it is impossible to reach the next window with only the length of the arm.

creak creak ~
After half a year of special training, Yi Chen became more proficient in controlling plants, and a thick branch grew out of his palm, almost as thick as an arm.

The body of the little grape is leaning towards the next window along with the branches.

"enough!Don't be too conspicuous! 』

The branch stops growing as soon as it touches the window frame,

Little Putao gently hugged the rusty window frame with his small black hands, and slowly poked out half of his eyeballs to observe the erosion of the next door.

The dormitory is very damaged.
The lower half of the door was gone, only the upper half was connected to the hinge, barely sealing the room.

despair!
Accompanied by a sharp sound, the mysterious patient who patrolled here stopped in front of the door.

Since the lower part of the door is missing,
I can just see a pair of black high heels about 20cm high,
Two long white legs,

And the hem of the white coat,

Based on the above information, one can roughly imagine a beautiful, generous, tall female doctor who is in charge of night shift ward rounds.

however,
When the door of the upper part of the room was pushed open by the 'female doctor', the wonderful fantasy in the brain was instantly shattered.

1. A lower body that was cut off at the waist and preserved intact,
2. At the broken part of the waist, a metal bracket for hanging infusion bottles is inserted vertically.
3. The infusion bottle on the stand is connected to the lower body with a catheter, and the normal infusion rate ensures the freshness and energy supply of the two long legs.

4. There is a human head with black hair covering the face stuck on the top of the bracket, so the specific appearance cannot be seen clearly.

5. In the end, he was wearing a white coat with the English words [Twilight Hospital] printed on it

If you only look at the lower body, or the back view, it really looks like a female doctor.

After such a visual image came through Little Putao, Yi Chen felt a little uncomfortable.

Most of the sick individuals I have seen before have maintained their human-like appearance, at most they are mermaids covered with fish scales.

And what I see now, to some extent, has surpassed the scope of human beings.

Now that you have seen it clearly,
The vegetative growth of the branch structure quickly retracted into the palm, and the small grapes also returned to the body.

When Yi Chen described the "female doctor" he saw to Edmund in detail,

A professional word was thrown out of his mouth again.

"[Non-Normality], has such an individual already appeared? If we infer from this, the gray-scale transformation that happened here has already entered the late stage."

This vocabulary is also mentioned in the class related to ashering.

Edmund whispered:

"The "false moon incident" in the past must have affected the clinic. There was a large-scale battle inside, and there were heavy casualties... Some remaining, uncleaned flesh, body fluids, and even some intact limbs and equipment between the clinic are very likely. Under the action of graying, some kind of combination conforming to the law of pathology occurs.

Thus was born this abnormal disease,
The "self-awareness" of these things is very weird, with various action and attack modes, it is difficult to judge and reason through conventional experience.

I have never been exposed to such a thing, and I have no relevant combat experience. "

"Um……"

At this time, the inspection of the next room was over.

The 'female doctor' stepped on high heels and stopped at the door of the dormitory where the two of them were in just two long strides.

Gah!Gah!
Metallic objects scraped against the door, and it was delayed opening because the door was locked.

Suddenly~ Boom!
The thick wooden door was kicked open a big hole, and the broken wooden planks flew down together with the door lock structure.

The wooden door opened.

Stepping on high-heeled shoes with long legs, he formally entered this very suspicious bedroom.

The head inserted on the metal frame gently sniffed the stranger's breath in the room, and began to check with exaggerated steps.

It's a pity that the test results were disappointing, and no one was found.

Under the female doctor's black hair was a rather disappointed face. After a slight sigh, she could only turn around and leave the dormitory.

【Ten seconds ago】

Yi Chen and Edmund had climbed out of the window first and came to the open and spacious rooftop area.

Perhaps because of the blocking effect provided by the gentleman's clothing, the two did not feel any discomfort from being exposed to the moonlight...just avoid looking directly at the weird moon in the sky as much as possible.

Before the current accidents in the clinic are known, try to avoid war as much as possible.

If a conflict breaks out with the 'female doctor' in the dormitory, the movement of the battle is likely to attract more and more troublesome things.

"How about we climb down the wall and land in the front yard of the clinic...starting from the lobby, and conduct a comprehensive search of the clinic in the early hours of the morning, looking for traces of Dagbert and the others?"

"Well, that's the only way it can be."

If it wasn't for the consideration of the missing teammates, they could have left the clinic temporarily and retreated to the mountains... Wait until the night passed and the moon disappeared before continuing with the secret medicine mission.

Just as the two were about to climb out of the roof,
tread!tread!
Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy footsteps at the entrance of the rooftop.

A black figure larger than a human was standing there, with a liquid tank inserted into its 'head', and the eyeballs soaked in the tank were staring at the two people who were about to 'go downstairs'.

Just when the atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward,

Yi Chen suddenly squeezed out a ball of black meat from his shoulder, and shouted excitedly:

"Grape!"
