the last gentleman

Chapter 57 The Sick Gentleman

A bandage wrapped around the nurse's face,

Changes in expression are achieved by the amount of blood seeping and the position of the bleeding.

The blood stains currently soaked on the surface of the bandage showed a slightly distorted blood-red smiling face, as if he was extremely happy to complete the task given by the 'master'.

The nurse used the needle that grew out of her fingertip to poke at the button with the number [-13] printed on it.

Snapped!Blister punctured
bang ~ bang ~
Accompanied by quite regular shaking, the elevator began to go underground.

Every floor down means that the chance of escape is reduced,
Ding dong!The thirteenth floor of the basement has arrived.

The moment the elevator opens,

A swarm of white rats rushed in like a stream of water, occupying the space between the elevators. Their white hair and soft flesh stuck together with their leather shoes and trouser legs, making people very uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, these are Mr. Li's 'pets'. As long as they are guests, they will never attack.

Come with me, Mr. Li lives in the deepest [ward]. "

The nurse led the way with limping steps,

The swarm of rats crowded on the ground will move away as soon as they sense the approach of an object.

The two followed immediately.

Edmund came from a big family, although he received professional training since he was a child.But for this kind of area full of rats, I instinctively resisted, feeling uncomfortable all over.

On the other hand, Yi Chen seemed relatively relaxed, without any discomfort,
During his time in the orphanage, he also often stayed with the mice, and even became friends with some of them, giving them corresponding names.

After all, in that environment, rats are more trustworthy than humans.

When Yi Chen glanced at the group of rats below him, he felt a sense of disobedience.

"These mice seem to be single, but they actually have a kind of unity... The unity is controlled by some kind of existence, or they are originally a whole.

These things cannot be called rats, but a dangerous group associated with [disease]. 』

thirteen floors underground,
This is not a straight path,

Rather, it is a complex underground palace with many twists and turns, and a large number of forks, which can even be compared to a large rat's nest.

Mr. Li, who creates the co-located space and manages the "inner world" of the clinic, seems to be hiding in the deepest part of the underground palace.

When knocking on the rusty iron door with a rat-skin structure, a hoarse sound came from inside.

"Bring them? Let them in."

Pushed by the swarm of rats, the iron door of the ward slowly opened.

The so-called "Mr. Li" is not as scary or indescribable as expected. Compared with the abnormal patients in the clinic, he is more like a human being.

Under the messy silver hair, there is a face of about 30 years old, with pointed and concave cheeks.

physically abled,

The whole person was lying on a sickbed rather weakly,

His forehead, neck, wrists, and ankles are connected to infusion bottles, and he is cared for by three bandaged nurses and a 'hot' female doctor.

The hospital bed was also custom-made for him, with a big hole in the center of the bed board.
A large number of silver-white blood vessels grew densely on his back,

It penetrates the bed hole like a tree root and plunges into the ground of the ward, as if it is connected with this ward, this underground space, or the whole clinic.

Seems like I've been in bed for too long,

The flesh on his back was almost connected to the hospital bed, no gaps could be seen, and he could not turn over.

in addition,

Yi Chen's sharp eyes also noticed a detail, Mr. Li's neck has a conspicuous "moon seal" printed on it, which is also the symbolic proof of lunarization infection in the fake moon event records.

can roughly infer.

This Mr. Li is one of the survivors of the "False Moon Incident". He hid in the depths of the ground and grew up quietly. With the help of a special "lunarization disease", he created a co-located space similar to a clinic.

Another point,
It was also the point that surprised Yi Chen and Edmund the most.

This Mr. Li is actually wearing a tattered [gentleman's clothing], which still exudes the breath of "gentleman's skin".

Before the two can speak,
Mr. Li turned his head and looked directly at the two with silver pupils.

"The organization actually sends newcomers like you here to work here? Is there a shortage of manpower... It seems that the group of guys in Zion are really dying.

If my guess is correct, you should be here to recover this thing, right? "

Mr. Li moved his fingers,

The swarm of rats moving on the ground sent mottled and old empty bottles to their feet.

The label on the bottle reads "Original Research and Development of Twilight Clinic - Twilight Silver Liquid".

"I'm really sorry, this thing has been used by me! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to live until now, and I wouldn't be able to establish a direct connection with the moon.

Although you are only rookies, your strength is not bad!

Be able to adapt to the 'Moonlight Clinic' I created for the first time, complete a quick kill of an abnormal patient, and quickly escape from the main building.

In this case, it can barely work for me.

As long as you can do it, I will give you three rewards:
1. No longer being imprisoned in the moonlight clinic I created, get free.

2. The empty bottle of secret medicine that I used up can be taken back and submitted to the task.

3. Antidote. "

When hearing the word antidote,

Yichen and Edmund have already reacted,

however,
The nurse, who was close behind them, had already stuck her fingers into their necks and injected a special medicine into their bodies.

"Don't worry, this is the [plague transformation agent] specially developed by me. It has a long incubation period. The tested cycle is one week. As long as the serum is injected before this time, it can be completely inhibited.

Don't be too nervous ~ relax!After all, everyone is a gentleman.

Although I have been eroded by illness, the [integrity] of being a gentleman has not been lost. As long as you succeed in doing things, the above three conditions will be met. "

In such a passive scene, it is natural not to refuse.

Just as Edmund stretched out his hand to cover the injection hole on his neck, trying to curb the invasion of disease in his body as much as possible.

Yi Chen took the initiative to step forward, came to Mr. Li's bedside, and made a fairly standard gentleman's salute.

"William Behrens, I am very glad to cooperate with Mr. Li. I wonder what you need us to do?"

Seeing that the young man in front of him adapted so quickly, Mr. Li was a little surprised, and also showed an expression of appreciation.

"I need you to go to [Vener City] in reality.

To kill the "lunar patients" hiding in the ruins of the city, the target is the skin with the "moon mark" on their body, and it is required to peel off the whole piece and ensure a size of at least 15×15cm.

Collect them all and bring them to me.

Remember, my trading partner is only the two of you, and you two will come back when the time comes, don't even think about bringing your teammates and companions in with you. "

"Are these things of any use to you?"

"This is not a question you should ask, just go ahead and do it. Remember, the time for the potion to take effect is [one week], don't delay it for too long, it may break out early."

"Ok."

"Go~ Go back to the clinic building, go back to your original dormitory, get a good night's sleep, and return to the [surface layer] when you wake up again.

By the way, if you are efficient and the quantity and quality of moon skins you bring back are good,
I can also reveal to you some secrets about the clinic. "
