On the way back to school, Yi Chen's thoughts had slowly shifted from the relics to the white-haired Lotson.
Since Lotson appeared in Zion, it means that he also underwent the same full set of tests as Yi Chen, and he must have passed both physical and mental tests.
but…
Yi Chen's 'intuition in judging people' inherited from his previous life could not be wrong. He could feel that there was something wrong with Lotson, and it was a big problem.
I came to the twin buildings of the college, the Wilsman Teaching Building, with doubts in my heart.
Just when Yi Chen was about to go to the underground laboratory to meet Professor Zed, he was stopped by the security of the teaching building.
"I'm sorry, Hogni Zed is currently undergoing a joint assessment by the academy and the organization's review team. Zed's underground office is temporarily closed and entry is prohibited."
Yi Chen was shocked when he heard this, "Joint assessment? Did Teacher Zed do something wrong?"
Yi Chen immediately associated the joint assessment with himself. Because his journey to the old world was delayed for too long, he was considered missing by the organization.
After learning about this, Zed didn't care about his imprisoned status at all. He forced his way out of the city and prepared to go to the Holy Grail Mountain, which led to a direct conflict with the organization.
“Not really. Zed has performed very well recently and has been highly praised by the principal and senior officials of off-campus organizations for his outstanding pathology course.
A week ago, while strolling around the campus, he quickly dealt with a student conflict that could have led to serious or even fatal consequences.
The attacker was effectively suppressed, order was maintained at the scene and no one was injured, and eventually all the conflicting parties were handed over to the school for handling.
If this evaluation goes well, Zed will be allowed to leave the school for a certain period of time every week."
"Oh...I see! That's good."
Not long after the two chatted,
A black figure flashed over quickly and slapped Yi Chen hard on the back.
This palm directly lifted the whole person away, flying into the straight corridor of the teaching building, rolling several times and hitting the wall at the end.
A familiar voice came from the corpse:
"I knew you would be fine, kid. The feeling of patting your back just now was very special! Your body has become much harder than before, and it seems that something else has been added. It's a great harvest!"
Yi Chen didn't say anything, he stood up and bowed his head: "Congratulations to Mr. Zed for the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities."
"It's only three hours a week, there's nothing to be happy about. I feel like the round trip ride is almost enough..." Although Zed said this, he forgot to hide the smile on his face.
The master and the apprentice returned to the familiar basement.
Zed didn't bother to ask Yi Chen what he had obtained. He just dragged him to the fighting arena in the park and got the specific information directly through physical communication.
However.
Clank~ As the barbed iron chain was dragged on the ground, Zed's eager movements stopped, his face became extremely ugly, and one could even feel a clear wave of murderous intent.
"You... have been to a monastery?"
"No."
"Indeed, if you really went to the monastery, you would not be able to come back here. Those guys are very strict about the control of the iron chain, and it is impossible for you to leave the monastery with the iron chain.
What's with the chains on you?"
Yi Chen could sense from Zed's sudden change of mood and the heavy words he spoke that he must have had some connection with the monastery.
After Yi Chen told the whole story of his journey in the old world,
Zed's emotions slowly calmed down, and he even smiled excitedly.
"Three monks failed to capture you? Your patient friend is really amazing... It's a pity that you haven't broken through your limit yet, otherwise it would be better if you joined forces with your friend to kill the monks directly."
"Did Mr. Zed fight with those monks?"
"Not only did we fight, I also went to the monastery myself. I lost my eyes there. Where there is loss, there is gain. The reason why I can freely control this body and experience pain is precisely because of the special suffering I experienced during that period."
"What! You've been to the monastery."
"It was just an embarrassing thing. In order to protect Bailey and the others, I was captured by these monks in the depths of the Gray Region. I don't want to talk about the specific details. Anyway, it is a very bad memory."
At this point, Zed poked his finger at the brain.
“My sometimes uncontrollable mental state was also due to the special experiences during that period.
However, there is one thing I am quite proud of. As far as I know, many people like me or patients were captured and taken to the monastery to undergo chain-related disease transformation, and only a very few people survived and became one of them.
Not only did I withstand the pressure of the chains and survive, I also became the only one to escape from the monastery.
In order to avoid being tracked by these monks, I removed all the chains implanted in my body. It was the process of removing the chains that made me realize the true meaning of "pain".
This feeling is different from that in the monastery, it is something unique to me.
A monk who happened to find me was chopped into pieces by me on the spot, and I eventually returned here through the nearest passage.
One day I will go back and settle accounts with them."
Zed's words confused Yi Chen, and he gradually understood why the organization and the academy did not execute Zed, but imprisoned him and listed him as a "special combat force".
"You pulled out the chains from your body on your own, and you're still learning the true meaning of pain?"
Zed took a step forward and reached out to touch the chain on Yi Chen's arm, "Don't do what I did. Even now, I don't want to do it a second time... And I can feel that the chain in your body is different.
Your method of combination is different from the 'burial', 'bone replacement', etc. in the monastery.
The needle chain should first be combined with your original plant disease, and then directly replaced by the plant's pre-buried structural system.
And the physical characteristics you learned from me can also help you control such a chain system well.
Once you break through your limit, you should be able to sever the connection between the chain and the monastery. Then, even if you go to the old world, you won't have to worry about them locating you and chasing you.
Iron chains are good things, otherwise those guys in the monastery would not have a place in the old world.
Not to mention that you have a high-level needle-shaped chain in your body."
"Hmm? Are there different levels of chains?"
"I'm not sure about the specific classification. I've seen all kinds of strange-shaped chains. But I've only seen needle-shaped chains like this on a guy whose status is obviously higher than that of an ordinary monk.
Make good use of this thing, and perhaps you can develop a physique completely different from mine.
From now on, we can join forces to uproot the monastery from the old world! Don't waste time, hurry up and practice... I haven't felt the pain of being whipped by iron chains for a long time, let me miss it."
Zed took off his clothes and started to have sex with Yi Chen.
The paradise was filled with whipping, collisions, and all kinds of weird laughter.
Four hours passed.
Zed put the clothes on his shoulders, walked to the freezer and took out two bottles of carbonated drinks, throwing one at the slowly rotating fan.
Bang! Hanging on the fan, Yi Chen, who was exhausted, caught it.
During the break,
Yi Chen talked about a topic that he always cared about.
"Teacher Zed, is there a possibility that the gentleman is deeply affected by the disease or the patient, but Zion's existing quarantine methods cannot detect it?"
“It’s unlikely, but possible.
The gentleman's body had not undergone any pathological changes and was even exactly the same as before. Only his consciousness had been perfectly invaded and he inherited all his memories.
What? Did you notice something is wrong with someone
If you are sure, you can submit the person's information to the organization, and they will directly conduct an investigation."
"Okay, I understand."
Updated on Sunday. I just finished writing about the journey in the old world and sorted out the plot a little. I can't comment recently. I feel very anxious when I can't see the book reviews!
