In the library corresponding to the memory palace, William can no longer read effectively.
The extremely frequent "deaths" are approaching the limits of the Gestalt's physical body.
Even Yi Chen, who had been blessed with the gift of death during his lifetime, could not continue to die so frequently.
Currently, cracks of varying sizes are appearing in the library, indicating that individual consciousness is tending to collapse.
“I didn’t expect that there would be such a huge gap between two Silver Circle patients… Marquis Gratoni’s true strength can actually reach this level. If we force him into a desperate situation, he may even become stronger. This is far beyond my expectation.
It seems that just as the Marquis said, I am only "getting a glimpse of the basics". No matter how well I do during the process, there is still a gap between me and them, and it may even be an insurmountable gap.
Only those who have completed the path and stepped into the silver circle can be considered as old patients.
This sentence may be reminding me that the "road" has just begun, and the previous changes in symptoms are just surface activities.
The silver circle corresponds to a real old world road, a long, sick road with no end in sight, which requires time and energy to travel, explore, and grow.
People like the Seventh Marquis have been gone for thousands of years or even longer, and I have only been around for a few decades... I must survive, my journey has just begun.
"Hold on~Yi Chen."
William looked at the outside world through the gap in consciousness.
Trying to find teammates to support you.
It would be great to see the return of Teacher Zed, or the arrival of that special teammate. Only their support can truly break the current situation.
Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared in my peripheral vision.
Since Yi Chen was always dying, the visual angle was flickering and blurry, so it was difficult to see clearly.
"Who's here? Judging from the outline and body shape, it looks like Asimov, or the Prophet Mako... No, it's someone I don't know."
As the other party continued to approach, and as his vision accidentally became clear for a moment, William saw a blood man with golden hair.
Suddenly, William's mood became more irritable.
The person who came was none other than the guy who had chased him in front of the leather factory and even destroyed the entire black worm train. If William had not been rescued by the flock of sheep through the umbilical cord induction, he would have been killed by this man or captured alive and used as a container.
However, William quickly suppressed the hatred brought about by this personal grudge. Now was not the time to lose control.
The appearance of the blond man meant that reinforcements from the Old World had arrived, and it turned out to be another 'Seventh Marquis'. The situation was worse than ever.
Although this blond man is very likely the weakest among the seven marquises, his level must be above that of the earl.
Marquis Gratoni alone had almost killed him, and now being watched by the two Seventh Marquises, he was basically doomed.
"Think of a way, think of a way quickly!"
The library had begun to tremble slightly, with numerous cracks appearing on the top and even debris falling down.
William chose to sit cross-legged under his desk, thinking at high speed, and even completely peeled off his skull in order to maximize the use of his brain.
…
New Zion - Walled Area
Yi Chen has died 219 times, and he obviously no longer has the same fighting passion as before. Even the speed, efficiency and completeness of death reconstruction are much worse.
Marquis Grid was squatting not far away watching the show, and when he felt it was about time, he quietly approached Marquis Gratoni.
"Hey! Gratoni~ If you keep doing this, he might actually die... A young human like this can force you to bleed, so he might be a good candidate. It would be better to capture him alive."
"Why are you here, Grid?" Gratoni asked irritably.
"Everyone can feel that you have opened the blood equipment. I am the first one to rush over to help. Who knows if your life is threatened? Well, don't eat that guy first, it's a waste."
Gratoni stopped swallowing, not because of Grid's persuasion, but because Grid's arrival made him suddenly come back to his senses.
After Yi Chen rode on his shoulders and beheaded him, he became extremely irritable and his mind was filled with extreme malice, and he just wanted to kill the other person.
Now that I have calmed down and thought about it carefully, there is really no need to kill them all. If such talents can be transformed into blood people, they will be of great use.
Thinking of this, Gratoni couldn't help shaking his head to make sure that the "malice" did not remain in his brain.
The swallowing stops.
The black liquid scattered a hundred meters away could no longer form a shallow well, but just kept bubbling.
After a few seconds, a bony finger emerged.
It took a minute before something that looked like a human finally crawled out. It was still missing flesh and bones in many places, and it was skinny and weak... Even its eyes looked dim and lifeless.
Even so, Yi Chen's expression was still crazy, and he still wanted to swing the axe in his hand.
Suddenly,
The limit of dead makeup has arrived.
The abyss mask on his face disintegrated on its own, and his two hands shattered to the ground like broken stone.
The indescribable feeling of weakness and the backlash from excessive use of dead man makeup made Yi Chen fall to the ground and struggle frantically. His body twisted into a knot and he even accidentally bit off his tongue, as if his flesh could explode at any time.
but,
At the moment when the Abyss Mask was removed, Marquis Grid, who was not far away, suddenly widened his eyes, and he immediately recognized who the young man was.
It was clear that a few months ago, the other party was only open source, and they would be hunted down if they were caught in front of the leather factory.
Now he actually appeared here as a silver circle patient, and even forced Gratoni to buy blood armor.
greedy
He immediately saw something in William, something he had always dreamed of - "absolute talent"
Grid did not directly reveal the young man's identity, but gently patted Marquis Gratoni's shoulder and said thoughtfully:
"Glatoni, how about we make a deal
Leave this kid to me, I will take him to the old world and transform him there.
Since it's a deal, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. Afterwards, I will hand over the management rights of the two earls to you. In addition, I will give you a bottle of blood wine produced from the former manor that I secretly hid. How about it
Also, when I first came here, I sensed that one of your earls seemed to have been killed, which means the area he was in charge of is very dangerous. I suggest you go over and take a look."
After Grid said this, Gratoni reacted and immediately sensed it.
"The butler is dead!"
The butler Field is Gratoni's favorite subordinate.
Field's ability to get things done is extremely outstanding. At least 70% of the construction work of this human colony was done by him alone.
"Oh, it's that person! What a pity..." Grid pretended to be very sad.
As the person in charge of Zion Colony, Gluttony needs to consider the overall situation.
The death of the butler means that the academy area is in danger of being lost at any time, and the special human 'Zed' who is being held there for blood transformation may be kidnapped.
In Gratoni's eyes, 'Zed' has a higher priority than the young man in front of him.
Since Grid had suddenly arrived and even offered very good conditions, he had agreed directly, and a blood pact was quickly established between the two of them so there was no need to worry about breaking the contract.
After everything here is handed over to Grid,
Marquis Gratoni bent his lower limbs and prepared to jump directly to the academy area.
But at this moment,
A hoarse, leaky voice came from behind:
"Hey! Are you planning to escape? My Lord Marquis, I'm not dead yet.
Also, who is this ugly blond guy? Does this weakling with a far inferior aura to yours want to take over me
What a bunch of useless people. The losers in ancient times also looked defeated when they did things. Am I not afraid of being killed by these weaklings if I let them take over?"
Facing the advanced taunt from Yi Chen,
The good-tempered Marquis Gratoni was fine. He just paused for a moment, a little surprised that the other party dared to say such words, and even felt a little admiration in his heart.
But the Marquis of Glider is different.
He hated it most when someone talked about defeat, so he turned into a red light and grabbed Yi Chen's neck which was made of rotten flesh and bones, and lifted him high into the air.
"Who has the defeated look on his face? If the sheep hadn't saved you, they would have squeezed you dry!
Let me taste your blood and see if it's as spicy as your personality. Don't worry, I won't suck you dry.
I will take you back and deal with it slowly~"
Grid bit into Yi Chen's neck like a vampire, and at the moment when his greedy fangs wanted to suck blood,
A strong moonlight shone down, and at the same time, there were words of hatred conveyed by the moonlight:
"Who the hell allowed you to absorb William's body fluids? Who the hell allowed you to defile his body... Get out of here!"
I wish my brothers and sisters who are taking the college entrance examination to perform perfectly, overcome difficulties and complete the path.
