Yi Chen stood at the back of the candidate team.
Looking at this 'candidate' sent by the Power Station Research Institute,
Combining the sealing device, the catheter inserted into the back of the head, and the strong evil aura emanating from it, one can roughly guess what is going on.
In the nightmare game, Yi Chen came into contact with many death row prisoners.
It is easy to identify the "evil" in the other person, and the concentration of this evil is very high, even higher than that of Dr. McCovey of the Twilight Clinic.
"The research institute actually used death row prisoners who are proficient in skinning as raw materials. Are they trying to create the first gentleman controlled by the organization? There is a problem here.
The guys in charge of supplying leather at the leather factory are not stupid. If they knew that the candidate sent here was a puppet whose consciousness had been erased and was completely controlled by humans, they would definitely not choose him as the 'Connector'.
In order to artificially create the First Gentleman, the consciousness of the death row prisoner must be preserved and he must be in the state of an "independent individual".
Therefore, what the institute is doing should be to erase the evil in this person's body, such as removing a part of the brain or overwriting the mind.
But can this approach really eliminate the “root of evil”
Not to mention the inside, this man's body has not been treated, and the tattoos and stitched skin alone contain hundreds of auras. The sin of killing is so heavy that he deserves death. 』
Yi Chen further examined the skinner whose entire body hair was shaved cleanly. Alex,
Through the vision provided by Little Grape, we discovered that the seemingly intact skin on this person is actually an extremely complex skin puzzle.
A total of 317 pieces of skin were taken from different gentlemen, and then these skins were integrated according to his own symptoms.
These skins are unified together into one skin system through a back tattoo called "Red Dragon (full name: Great Red Dragon and Sun-covered Woman)".
but,
Yi Chen saw some flaws in the tattoo and the puzzle was not complete yet.
It seems that this person was captured by the organization before he could complete his "great cause".
While Yi Chen was observing this person, Reagan, who was in charge of supervision and stability, sent a message, "William, if there is a battle-type assessment, be careful of this guy."
"good."
Reagan and Kimberly worked together skillfully to carefully remove the catheter inserted into the back of the man's brain, and then used a kind of mental activation to revive the man.
Alex the Skinner slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of pure and flawless eyes. His facial muscles opened somewhat stiffly, revealing a smile.
"Hello everyone~ It's a great honor to meet you here. I hope we can get along happily during the next skin promotion period."
During the talk,
The red dragon tattoo on Alex's back suddenly came alive, looking like a pair of wings spread out for a skinner. Alex put on a flesh-red long gown.
Yi Chen felt disgusted when he saw such a hypocritical expression.
In this way, all nine candidates are in place.
The first gentleman, who looked like a withered skeleton, officially announced the promotion rules.
“This year’s Skins Promotion will have a few more rules than in the past, to select “First Gentlemen” who are better than me or even the previous generations.
The main reason is that my "connection" with the leather factory began to decline three years ago, and was almost lost a year ago, and I can no longer communicate normally with them.
Although skins are still being transmitted, their quantity and quality are decreasing.
The "connection" I can maintain now is less than 30% of what it was at the beginning.
It may be related to my own decline, or it may be that there are some problems in the leather factory.
Therefore, we need a first gentleman who is superior to me in all aspects to reopen the connection between the two sides and let them know our strength so that they can provide more and better quality leather.
This year's skin promotion will be assessed in three stages:
Leather quality, leather feel and leather texture,
They correspond respectively to the individual's tolerance limit, depth of cognition, and the maximum potential and strength that can be exerted.
The first thing to be done is the assessment of "skin quality".
During the assessment, you will be required to take off any clothing or equipment related to the gentleman's skin.
I will touch the bodies of nine of you at the same time and perform "skin grafting" into your bodies.
It should be noted that the leather here is not the gentleman's leather that is gentle and close to our human nature, but the "raw leather" that comes directly from the leather factory and has not been filtered by my flesh.
This kind of skin has a strong sense of self-awareness. Once it comes into contact with non-leather plant life, it will quickly parasitize, reproduce internally, and perform genetic transformation, trying to turn the individual into a skin slave.
If you feel any discomfort during the skin grafting process, or feel that you can't hold on, raise your hands and give up immediately. If you turn into a skin slave at the promotion site, the audience on the second floor will kill you immediately.
Your arrogance and stupidity will also be known to the whole of Zion through text broadcasts."
After these words were spoken, the candidates present did not show much change in expression.
As gentlemen who are experts in using leather, they naturally know that accepting "original leather" is only the most basic test. If they can't even do this, there is no way they can become the first gentleman.
The key to the assessment is not the danger of the original leather, but what is everyone's tolerance limit. This is the key.
As one candidate began to take off his clothes, everyone else also took off their gentleman's clothes.
Since the candidates' clothing is 100% leather, it means that their most private underwear is made of pure leather, and if they want to take it off, they have to take off all their clothes.
The scene was somewhat awkward.
However, Yi Chen was well prepared.
He kept a set of ordinary suits without gentleman's leather in the suitcases where he stored his spine and medicines, just in case.
He quickly changed himself and put the gentleman's clothing mixed with yellow leather into the suitcase.
But more than half of the candidates did not have backup outfits. At this moment, a female voice spread among the crowd.
"Anyone need clothes?"
Ms. Jessica from the Tailors Guild carried compressed fabrics in her bag and began to make clothes on the spot. She made a set of identical clothes for herself in a few seconds.
Many candidates came to her for production with gratitude.
Among them, Mandy, who came from Gethsemane and looked honest and gentle, kissed the other person's back of the hand to express her gratitude.
The awkward atmosphere was immediately eliminated, and the first gentleman also "regarded" Jessica's tailoring skills.
Only the Skinner Alex did not ask for any clothes, and deliberately showed his own body, especially the red dragon pattern on his back.
Everyone walked up to the altar one after another, ready to accept their original skins.
When everyone is ready,
Clang clang clang
Without any warning, the First Gentleman suddenly shot out nine chains from his abdomen.
The chains instantly pierced into the backs of the nine candidates, causing some of them to scream out in pain... but among these screams of pain there was a strange sound.
"Oh~Yeah... It's so comfortable! This iron chain is far inferior to the pain chain from the monastery in my body. It should be a 'prop' used to increase the connection between the First Gentleman and the leather factory, similar to the role of an antenna.
If I ever become First Gentleman, I could try replacing it with the monastery chain, which might make the connection better.
Hmm! Has the original skin been delivered? It seems that Mr. Claude, the first gentleman, is very anxious. "
Just as Yi Chen was enjoying the pleasure of the iron chain entering his spine, a stream of stimulating and strong cortical fluid was transported through the iron chain.
When these conscious proto-cortices spread between the vertebrae and tried to invade Yi Chen's young and energetic body, they suddenly felt a group of terrible things.
Countless eyes covered with gray and scorched marks opened in various areas of the young man's body.
The black brain tissues that covered the muscles of the whole body also began to wriggle, and the black brain that was suspended between the skulls and constantly released mental pressure was completely monitoring their movements.
The painful iron chains that are connected and supported on various parts of the body and covered with thorns are so painful that even if you just get close to them, you will feel intense pain.
And the black dead liquid that could leak out from the narrow cracks in the flesh at any time. If you get a drop of it, you will die quickly.
in addition,
This body is very receptive to the skin. No matter where the original skin goes, it seems to hear whispers - "Come in, come in..."
For a time,
These raw hides from the leather factory felt like they had fallen into a devil's den. They instinctively wanted to escape and go home... but the exit had been locked.
The "Skin Bible" that Yi Chen learned began to operate in his body, and vortices began to appear between his flesh, directly digesting and absorbing the raw skins that were transmitted in, without giving them any chance to struggle.
