When Yi Chen saw that this life based on the template of the 'first dead' actually appeared in the aquarium and was swimming in the black liquid, he was immediately shocked and fell into self-reflection. It was obvious that the deep death had a great impact on him, even affecting his most important memory area.
"Could it be that the death I brought from the original world is similar to the 'deep death' explored by the original dead
Therefore, I will not be affected by "Withering" on the surface, but because of the homology, the deep death will directly drill into my epileptic brain and react with the black liquid of death hidden in the deepest part.
It's prying my nature and affecting my memories of my life."
While thinking, Yi Chen walked to the sink and placed his palm on the glass surface.
Bang!
The "death structure" with only half a head and a halo hanging in it also swam over and stretched out its own palm. Through the glass, the two palms overlapped perfectly, and the size and even the length and thickness of each finger were equal.
Continuing to look at the structure inside the water tank, the structure of the chin, mouth and nose corresponding to its half head are almost the same as Yi Chen's.
But they are almost the same, there are still some differences between the two.
The skin color of the dead structure is yellowish, and its physical features are more like those of a yellow person, or in other words, more like "Yi Chen who was a yellow person in his lifetime."
The young man standing in the aquarium corridor, who is also the 'master' of this memory palace, is a laborer at the Seven Days Cemetery, a typical white man named William Behrens.
At this time,
The mouth of the construct began to move, and bubbles floated out. The meaning could be read directly from the simple lip shapes. It was repeating a phrase over and over again.
§Yi Chen is me, and you are William§
The constant repetition emphasizes the difference between the two and their inseparable connection, and also seems to urge William to break the glass and achieve the combination of the two.
The repetitive words gradually created a hypnotic feeling, so much so that William, who was standing outside, took out a pistol and pointed the muzzle at the already severely damaged glass surface.
When he was about to pull the trigger,
Buzz! A brain wave spread across the brain, and William's skull was directly opened, revealing the beautiful, dark and dignified structure of the brain, symbolizing the thirst and madness for endless knowledge.
A generalized epileptic seizure twisted William's body into a ball and also made him wake up.
He fell to the ground, twitching wildly and muttering, "No... now is not the time! I am who I am... don't influence my thinking!"
The seizure was over and everything returned to silence.
William repaired the cracks in the aquarium as quickly as possible, then transformed himself into a cleaner to clean up the black liquid on the ground and lit all the candles in the passages.
Let the candlelight, glass and the bodies piled up between the water tanks together block the overflow of the "past".
When William turned and left, the human figure that looked like the original dead person was sticking to the glass, with an almost crazy dark smile on the corner of his mouth.
Then, it pressed its mouth completely against the glass, and its tongue licked and vibrated, making a sound that made William feel uncomfortable all over.
"Are you still afraid to face your true self? Really... How about this, if you encounter real danger outside, a danger where you will surely die, a danger that you cannot fight alone, then come in and release me.
Don't be so stubborn, William."
As soon as he finished speaking… Boom! The sound of a door closing reverberated throughout the aquarium.
William had closed the dark iron door again, and at the same time took out a special 'memory gel' to repair the hole in the iron door. When the last hole was about to be filled, William whispered:
"Just stay inside, Yichen."
… From here on, the protagonist’s name will be changed from Yichen and William to William…
After exiting and closing the memory palace, William's consciousness returned from the depths of his brain to the surface, returning to the real physical perception, and waking up in the high-speed moving roundworm workshop.
A gentle, warm and rhythmic head massage sensation is delivered.
Thirteen, with wax constantly flowing out of her eye sockets, was sitting behind William's seat providing the simplest head massage. Because she had been watching from the side the previous few times, silently observing everything the flight attendant did for the teacher, and now that the flight attendant was forced to leave, she wanted to try it herself.
Such subjective initiative is impossible for an ordinary candle doll to achieve.
"Thirteen, you've worked hard... By the way, how long have I slept?"
"Teacher, you're awake~ Let me see, it seems like quite a while has passed."
Thirteen gently unbuttoned her collar, revealing a delicate hourglass on her chest. "Three days and two hours have passed. During this time, I have been touching your head with my fingers. Probably since last night, the death sensation in your brain has begun to weaken. Now it has returned to the same state as before. Congratulations, teacher."
"Um."
William stood up and used the 'convenience' of the living train to retract all the flesh and blood seats into the car cavity, freeing up space for free movement in the car, and also customized the car to grow some horizontal bar structures.
Start doing some exaggerated stretching exercises, such as hanging your waist on a horizontal bar, folding your body in half, and sticking your back and legs completely together.
Then take out the painful needles to effectively puncture the joints and acupoints of the whole body,
Finally, he took out the firearm "Bartosh" for a comprehensive inspection, and asked Little Grape to be the workshop supervisor, responsible for producing bullets suitable for dealing with leather creatures, in case of emergency.
The weapons of the dead sealed in the shroud remain in the briefcase and will only be taken out when it is right and necessary.
Along the way, rumors about the "abnormality in the leather factory" have been heard no less than ten times, and even William himself felt the abnormality during the selection of the first gentleman.
When he fell to the bottom along the "leather passage" of the first gentleman, he not only failed to reach the leather factory but was also sprayed out by an unknown and strange flow of blood.
Many organizations in the Old World that had cooperative relationships with the leather factory and the source of the epidemic area were temporarily cut off from each other, and all related production orders were cancelled. The entire leather factory seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world.
Even the Duke kept it a secret, hoping that William would go and see it for himself.
When the warm-up exercises were over, William called the flight attendant to ask about the remaining journey time and was told that it would take three full days.
Because the Yousui Leather Factory is also located in a corner of the old world, a special corner different from the original tomb, a corner rich in resources and most suitable for factory operation.
Seeing that there was still a lot of time left, William took out the "Skin Bible" from the dressing room and prepared to review it.
Since gentlemen's clothing corresponded to inferior skins and he could not read the formal content of the Bible, he had not opened the book for a long time.
When the alienated Bible, which was stained black by death and had the human faces on the cover revealing white bones, was taken out again, the entire carriage was covered with a layer of rotten black leather. William then thought of a problem.
"Since I absorbed the Skinner, completed the production of the Black Dead Skin, and the unexpected transformation of the Skin Bible, I seem to have forgotten to re-read it. I was completely immersed in the exploration of the original tomb and the acquisition of the cuneiform stone... Fortunately, there is still time now, so hurry up and take a look."
When William opened the black-stained Bible and reread the contents of the prologue, a completely different picture of the leather factory came into his mind.
The image of the leather factory is completely different from what I saw when I first read the book.
This is a factory structure that has been dyed black, with death particles floating in the air, and the skins on the production line are covered with black spots. Even lubricating oil made from black liquid can be seen between the bearings of some biological machines.
It's dead silent and desolate, yet it seems to be hiding something.
"Is this... suitable for my future leather factory?"
