The Last Gentleman

Chapter 58: Negotiation

Views:

After the discussion with Mr. Li,

Take the elevator back to the clinic, then go up the stairs to the dormitory on the third floor.

Yi Chen remained quite calm throughout the whole process, and even patted Edmund's shoulder gently, trying to share this "calmness".

"Go to sleep. Sufficient sleep will allow us to gain extra opportunities."

"Um… "

Edmund, who was in the lower bunk, sighed and knocked his head hard.

His psychological quality also went through special training within the family.

By closing my eyes and meditating, I slowly put aside the fact that my body was injected with pathogens and suppressed the anxiety and anger in my heart.

The continuous fighting at night and the tension of heading to the underground area gradually turned into waves of fatigue, and I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

only,

Yi Chen was not in a hurry to sleep.

Instead, he leaned his head over the bed and carefully observed Edmund who was falling asleep.

After a while, something strange happened.

The 'moonlight' that had originally just fallen on the windowsill actually began to move like a living thing, actively covering Edmund's body... In the blink of an eye, his flesh turned into particles of light and transmitted back to the surface.

“It seems that the two factors of ‘sleep’ and ‘moonlight’ are the key factors in switching between the inner and outer worlds.

There were four of us sleeping in the dormitory, but only Edmund and I were transferred... If the pathogen is injected into the four of us, he can control us more stably to do his work.

Is he afraid that there are too many of us and that we might fight back and threaten him

He clearly controls the same space as the clinic and has reached the level of a seriously ill patient, but he hides deep underground, acts cautiously, even timidly... Is this the behavior of a rat

If this is the case, this weakness may be exploited later.”

During the analysis,

There was a movement in Yi Chen's shoulder.

A black ball of flesh squeezed out from between the collars.

Little Grape's mouth was in a very uncomfortable wavy shape, with some foul-smelling liquid remaining at the corners of her mouth.

"Pah, pah, pah! What kind of plague conversion agent is this?"

The smell was even worse than a rotten, maggoty, severed boot I accidentally found in Cemetery No. 6.

It's so disgusting.

Before the mission is over, you must give me five... no, seven good grapes to soothe my mouth. 』

That's right.

The little grapes are just hidden in the shoulders.

When the nurse was injecting Yi Chen with pathogenic liquid, Little Grape bit her carotid artery and swallowed all the medicine that was supposed to flow throughout her body into her mouth.

"No problem, as long as you can kill Mr. Li, I'll prepare a grape feast for you."

"Oh! You actually want to kill that sick gentleman.

The "professional characteristics" he had obtained with the help of the gentleman's skin will also transform along with the disease, and the body has reached "severe". It is very difficult to kill such a guy.

You must plan carefully, so as not to kill yourself accidentally. 』

"Um."

Since it was his first time tasting brain, Yi Chen didn’t feel sleepy at all. He even missed the taste and wonderful feeling of excitement that permeated his mind.

Yi Chen got out of bed almost silently and moved to the windowsill.

Change suits,

Leaning against the window,

Actively bathe in the moonlight, feel the special illumination, and slightly upturn the corners of your mouth.

"It's really interesting.

Unexpectedly, the "lost secret medicine" would lead to a sick gentleman in hiding.

Analyzing from Mr. Li's words, the Twilight Clinic affiliated with the organization does have hidden problems, and may even be directly related to the previous "Fake Moon Incident".

The whole thing is getting more and more interesting.

Perhaps this mission is not just to recover the secret medicine, the organization seems to be intentionally guiding us to investigate the situation here."

Yi Chen leaned on the windowsill, recalling and thinking about the interesting things that happened today, and slowly fell asleep.

The moonlight that had already fallen on my body wrapped my whole body like a thin film.

Disappeared.

Mission Day 2

The glow of the morning sun passed over the hill and fell into the dilapidated clinic cubicle.

In the apprentice dormitory,

The four of them sat around Edmund's bed, having a very divergent discussion.

Yuliana is the one with the broadest knowledge and the most comprehensive rational analysis in the team.

When carrying out various tasks in the past, Edmund would refer to her opinions on key issues.

But... now she gave a completely different opinion.

“Interrupt the mission and rush immediately to the crossroads where the coachman is waiting for us. Use the connections of your family, Edmund, and try to contact a doctor to consult with both of you.

Eliminate the pathogens from your body and have a chance of survival."

However,

Edmund looked relaxed, perhaps he had figured it all out after a night's rest.

"If injected into the artery, it will spread all over the body after one night. Even if there is a small chance of clearing it up with existing medical methods, the risk is extremely high.

A gentleman like William, who possesses "pathological characteristics", may still have a chance.

Even if I can get out of bed with my normal human body, I will probably have to stay in the family for the rest of my life, becoming an unnecessary human burden that wastes resources."

"It's better than death! I don't believe that a self-depraved gentleman, a severely ill living dead, will keep his promise... Even if you hand over the things, he will never let you go!"

Juliana seemed excited.

This is because she and Edmund were trained in the same training center when they were ten years old, and they have always had a good relationship, and even a certain special affection.

Just then,

Yi Chen suddenly interrupted and said meaningfully:

"It doesn't matter if we leave or not. We just need to get the antidote and eliminate the pathogens that haven't activated yet."

Yuliana also immediately understood the meaning of Yi Chen's words.

“Even if the four of us work together at full strength, we may not be able to defeat the seriously ill patient transformed by the gentleman.

Not to mention, how can you guarantee that the guy will give you the real antidote? It is even possible that the so-called 'antidote' is a lie he made up."

Yi Chen denied her statement and explained patiently:

“Ms. Anna, you were not at the scene at the time, otherwise you would have been able to make a more accurate analysis.

What I conducted with Edmund last night was a business transaction.

Mr. Li's 'situation' is not very good, it can even be described as terrible. He cannot leave the clinic, and the abnormal patients under his control cannot leave either.

But he himself was in urgent need of the 'Moon Skin', so he tested Edmund and me and arranged a meeting.

He even felt a little guilty and deliberately concealed the purpose of the moon skin.

According to my speculation,

He should be able to obtain the essence of "moonization" from the moon skin, which can allow him to reach a higher level, get rid of the side effects of the secret medicine, and restore the long-desired freedom.

As long as we can collect all the remaining "moon skins" in Vinar City, the initiative will be in our hands.

It's easy to force that guy to hand over a qualified antidote.

Whether he lets us go or not is another matter.”

Juliana was about to retort.

Edmund immediately said, "I agree with William. This is the only and correct way to do it... At the same time, I also want to personally kill the gentleman who has fallen into depravity.

Let's go~ Head to the city to eradicate the Moonizers and win chips.

And in the process of hunting the Moonizers, we can also increase our understanding of the "Moonizer Disease."

At this time,

Dagbert, who had been silent since leaning against the side wall, quickly stood up, shouldered his huge sword and walked out the door.

Juliana also bowed her head and admitted such a plan.

As she stood up, she turned and poked Edmund's waist and abdomen with her finger gun, causing him to jump up and hit his head on the edge of the upper bunk.

when!

"If you develop a disease, I will chop off your head immediately."

Edmund covered his head which was knocked awake and nodded quickly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Everyone will return alive."
