The Last Gentleman

Chapter 29: choose

"Letters are professions,

Once it is opened, it will determine my future growth path.

It determines my treatment, life and subsequent limits of exploration of the world in the City of Zion, and even, to some extent, determines my maximum survival time in this world.

Don't be in a hurry, think slowly and make a decision.

Neither Chamberson nor the clergy in the official residence mentioned a time limit, so it should be fine to stay here as long as you want."

Yi Chen also tried calling Little Grape, hoping it could give some advice.

What a pity,

The only one who came here was his consciousness.

Calm your mind and call upon all the concentration you had when doing scientific research.

The first thing to observe is the blue envelope.

“The ivy circle, surrounding the human-like branches… is obviously related to the “pathogenic characteristics” in my body, and must correspond to the plant-related growth path.

Once selected, the plant system can be further developed.

Moreover, Mr. Wilbert also said that the diseased crystals I swallowed were of high quality in both color and shape.

During the assessment in Green Lake Town, I also deeply experienced the convenience brought by plants.

But let’s see what else comes first.”

His eyes moved to the black envelope.

When Yi Chen carefully observed the skeleton on the boat, wisps of fine black gas were actually released from the sheepskin envelope and were inhaled into Yi Chen's nasal cavity.

In an instant,

My thoughts were unexpectedly drawn to a black sea, on the surface of which a skeleton was floating alone in a wooden boat.

When the skeleton turned his head,

There was still half a rotten face left on his face... Exactly the same as Yi Chen.

The sudden shock brought him back to reality.

“The Black Sea… I had seen a similar scene before when I accepted the First Gentleman’s skin. It felt strangely familiar, as if I had been there before, and it seemed to be related to death.

When I first arrived in Zion, I met a doctor on an arch bridge. He also told me that death was flowing in my body.

Could it be because of time travel

Is the appearance of the black envelope related to the experience of death crossing? "

Recalling Chamberson's description of the black envelope, it corresponds to a nightmare profession. Once selected, he will receive special training from the organization and become an executioner.

Yi Chen himself does not reject such a title.

His intuition told him,

The growth path given by the black envelope will surely give you greater strength.

"No hurry... Let's take a look at the purple one."

Compared with the first two,

The purple letter made of white card paper looks thicker and more delicate.

With the book imprint engraved on the surface,

Like a purple gentleman reading books in the library.

“The book imprint on the surface of the envelope seems to have tiny words written on it… In reality, it would probably require a very high-precision micro-engraving machine to print such words.

Without the visual enhancement provided by the small grapes, it would be impossible to see clearly.

Wait~ If this is an area that can only be reached by conscious beings, can we understand that the so-called Old Hall is also a kind of consciousness area, just like a dream

If that's the case,

My subjective thoughts may influence objective factors? "

Thinking of this,

Yi Chen opened his eyes as wide as possible, almost sticking his round eyeballs onto the purple letter.

However,

Staring for a long time actually makes your vision expand.

The text that was originally unclear is gradually becoming clearer.

When you see it clearly,

"this… "

Yi Chen was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly.

At the same time, he pinched his face to confirm that what was happening before his eyes was not a dream.

To verify that he was not seeing things, Yi Chen returned to the stone table and looked at it again in the same way... This time he looked longer and more carefully.

“Why… is my paper printed on it?”

The tiny words between the book imprints on the purple letter are exactly the graduation thesis that Yi Chen had painstakingly written before his death.

The text on the left side of the book corresponds to the cover of the thesis, including the title, Yi Chen and the name of the tutor.

On the right side of the book is the abstract of the paper.

These familiar words instantly brought Yi Chen back to painful memories, and he gave up on the purple letter.

Not long after,

After calming down, Yi Chen started to think about the overall situation again.

"The blue letter corresponds to the "pathogenic characteristics" I just acquired here.

The black letter seems to be related to time travel, corresponding to some kind of death characteristic.

The purple letters correspond to my experiences in life.

As Mr. Chamberson said, the letters are closely related to me.

Generally speaking,

The first two are better.

But… Plants represent life, and black represents death.

If I choose any one of them as my growth path, the balance in my body will be broken, and the chosen one will curb the development of the other, or even completely kill it.

If you want joint development, purple letters are your only option.

Do you want to take the risk?"

Yi Chen looked at the purple letter again.

Focusing on the book emblem on the envelope,

For a moment, he recalled every detail of his life, whether he was in a hopeless orphanage or attending a local school after escaping.

Yi Chen would never miss any opportunity to study.

It was the words in the books that inspired him to survive in his previous life.

In the subsequent process of studying, he was shaped with a correct "outlook on life" and given the opportunity to become a "human being"... He fought all the way on this relatively fair road of learning, won scholarships every academic year and reached the postgraduate stage.

Books are the dawn of life.

“Purple corresponds to a unique profession… Books and reading are also the most important things in my life and what I am best at doing.”

As Yi Chen gradually made up his mind, an intuition also formed.

No more hesitation,

Pick up the purple envelope on the stone table,

open!

The text information recorded in the letter became a strong and hot beam of light, shining into the eyes and into the brain.

You can even faintly smell the aroma of roasted brain.

Buzz!

When I opened my eyes again,

Returned to the ceremony room.

Whoosh~Whoosh!

Yi Chen knelt on one knee, gasping for breath... White smoke continued to rise from his head.

Other examinees have also completed the "Letter Selection"

The "emblem" of the chosen letter appears on some part of their body, such as their palms, neck, and chest.

The right side of blond Edmund's neck was branded with a 'spear and sword intertwined' pattern, which was still smoking, as if it had just been branded.

The giant Dagbert's upper right arm is branded with an 'arm showing biceps' pattern, which clearly shows that he is a professional with a strength-related job.

Juliana's emblem is branded on her waist and abdomen. It is a pattern of a dagger inserted into a skull, which may be related to assassination.

George Chamberson, the person in charge of this assessment

He scanned the emblems on everyone's bodies with an owl-like gaze, revealing a very satisfied expression.

"This batch of new recruits is pretty good. A large proportion of them have rare professions, and the acceptance process is also quite smooth. We can try to focus on training a few of them... Hmm?"

When Chamberson's eyes finally fell on Yi Chen,

No matter what angle you look at, you can't find the "emblem"

“Failed!?”

Yi Chen is the newcomer he is most optimistic about, and he is also appreciated by the First Gentleman.

Directly step into the formation,

Prepare to conduct a full body check on Yi Chen, whose brain is smoking.
