The Last Gentleman

Chapter 68: Dilemma

Views:

Through conversations with the theater owner, Elton John, everyone had obtained basic information about "Moon Disease" before the war.

Appearance: As long as an individual has visual interaction with the 'fake moon' that acts as a pathogen, a corresponding moon mark will appear on a certain part of the body depending on the individual's physical condition.

It is a mental illness and is only effective against higher organisms with "thinking".

The more active and unique the individual's thinking is, the shorter the process of disease transformation will be... When the moon seal becomes crystal, it will turn into a special patient - a moon citizen.

Features are as follows:

1. Immune to silver (silver eyes and silver hair)

2. Superb physical fitness.

3. What was once human's "specialty" will be concretized, magnified, and put into practical use.

The third point is also the most special and difficult to deal with pathological characteristics of the Moon People.

For example, if there is a homeless person who likes to keep pets, his pet dog will also share a certain Moon Seal effect and be able to combine with him.

A theater owner who loves performing. He can hide his breath, disguise himself as different people, and even fight with multiple limbs and faces at the same time.

However, Mr. Li is different.

He was originally a gentleman, and had chosen the white letter, which corresponded to his profession - Beast Tamer.

Perhaps due to his birth, family background and personal preferences, Mr. Li has liked mice since he was a child. After he became an animal tamer, the main animal group he controlled was also mice.

It’s just that the number that can be controlled is greater and the controllability is stronger.

He can use swarms of rats to quickly search an area, making him a very good reconnaissance gentleman.

However, Mr. Li is timid by nature. Whenever he is on a mission, he hides behind others and will only take action when he is absolutely sure... He will choose to avoid any trouble that can be avoided.

The arrival of the lunar disease has made his "occupation" pathologically enhanced and amplified, allowing him to experience an extraordinary power that transcends human beings.

Not to mention that in order to protect himself, he was forcibly injected with the Twilight Clinic's exclusive secret medicine - "Twilight Silver Liquid".

The accident brought him closer to the moon, leading to a deeper level of illness - a seriously ill patient

In the ward

Yi Chen stared at the bitten wrist.

The plant roots have removed the rat eggs, blocked the blood vessels and smoothed the wounds.

However, the diseased plants he had access to were far from enough to carry out "limb construction".

The healing potions prepared by the team can only stop bleeding and replenish blood at most... If you want to achieve regeneration, you must at least use high-level secret medicine with matching properties.

The constant pain in his wrist was nothing to him; instead, it stimulated his nerves and improved his concentration.

Just then,

The hard gun barrel tapped lightly on Yi Chen's shoulder.

“William, it’s the same as planned.

I will be responsible for the main attack and attract this guy's attention, and you and Anna will find the 'pathogen core' in his body as soon as possible."

"Um… "

Yi Chen took an extremely fast step back and pressed his body against the side wall.

Now, it is necessary to adjust the original battle plan based on the terrifying strength that Mr. Li just demonstrated and the problem of his own broken hand.

Thinking, integration and analysis are the keys to breaking the impasse.

At times like this, you can only trust that your teammates can buy you enough time.

"Little Grape, for a seriously ill patient like Mr. Li, how long can the mind invasion last?"

"From the previous experience of dealing with ordinary moon dwellers, "Moon Disease" is a rare disease that improves all attributes, which naturally includes an increase in resistance.

Even if I were to affect this guy face to face, it wouldn't take more than three seconds.

Furthermore, any subsequent use within half an hour will be invalidated. 』

"... In other words, it can only be used at the decisive moment."

"Yes.

Taking advantage of the great opportunity we just had to cut open the opponent's flesh, we were unable to find the location of the 'pathogen core'... The weaknesses of this seriously ill patient are difficult to find, and they may even be constantly active.

Are you getting nervous? This situation is very disadvantageous to you, and you might be completely wiped out. 』

However,

Xiao Pu Tao's words unexpectedly woke Yi Chen up.

"Wait! You said the pathogen core might be active? Then is it possible that it is hidden in a mouse? After all, his internal structure is made up of mice."

"Trust your intuition and speculation~ You must survive, William."

Just as Yi Chen was leaning against the wall thinking.

Bathed in the moonlight, Mr. Li began to show murderous intent... Cut!

He simply used brute force to tear the bed in half and threw it towards Edmund who was closest to him.

Buzz!

Edmund dodged sideways with nimble steps and avoided it perfectly.

The broken hospital bed smashed into the wall, showing how powerful the force was.

"Oh, what a quick reaction time... Your coordination motorics must be very high."

Edmund smiled under his golden hair, and made the number '4' with his left hand holding the gun.

“It’s really high. If I work harder, maybe I can reach the ‘limit barrier’ within half a year. I can then apply for a long vacation privilege from the organization and start an interesting journey of searching for relics.

Unfortunately, I can’t wait for that day.”

"Mouse Transformation"

Swish! Mr. Li's arm was separated at the elbow joint, and a large number of rats quickly poured out from the middle, filling up the rat flesh and skin.

Through forced compression and rearrangement of skin and flesh, a section of the arm structure was actually formed.

In this way,

Mr. Li's arm became a three-section structure consisting of front, middle and back.

Longer, more flexible and highly variable.

Not only that, the arms are changing further.

White hair,

The muscles become thicker, and you can even see hardened muscle strips protruding from the surface.

There are claw structures between the palms.

Each finger tip has a pair of granular mouse eyeballs, as if the fingers are "active" and can effectively capture the target's movements.

This is just the change in the arms.

Swish!

The spine stretched out and fell behind him.

Hiss, hiss, hiss~ Rats swarmed out, crawling on the surface of the prolapsed ridge, their skin and flesh combining and compressing each other, forming an extremely morbid tail structure.

It was as if nearly a thousand mice were mixed together, and the end of the tail could tear open a big mouth full of sharp teeth.

While swinging its tail and lashing out, it can also bite and take away the flesh and blood of the target's body.

Once hit, you may be killed instantly!

When the true pathological posture is revealed,

Mr. Li smiled almost like a madman and said to himself:

“I was born as a human, with a weak body, so only mice are willing to be friends with me.

Even after becoming a gentleman, some guys in Zion, including that damn Dr. McCoff, still looked down on me.

I have never experienced physical strength, and can only rely on my friends for intelligence and advantages.

It was the moon and that adult who made me feel the power of tearing my opponent apart with my own hands and gave me a whole new life experience.

This is where I belong... it feels so good to be sick!"

The voice fell,

Silver hair floating,

All four limbs pat the ground,

Mr. Li pounced on Edmund, who was closest to him, at an alarming speed, with murderous intent in his heart.

Claws crossed,

Mr. Li has already imagined the beautiful scene of the target being torn into pieces.

bite!

A loud sound of metal collision echoed in the ward, rather than the expected sound of flesh and blood being torn apart.

When the claws are about to strike,

It was actually perfectly deflected by the sword in Edmund's hand with exquisite angle and timing.

This perfect sword parry even caused Mr. Li's diseased body to become unbalanced to a certain extent.

Almost at the same time,

The emblem on Edmund's neck glowed red like a branding iron, emitting wisps of white smoke.

Step forward with your left foot.

Arms straight.

The gun barrel, parallel to the ground, just fit into Mr. Li's mouth who was in an unbalanced state.

Pull the trigger!

Bang!

The wall behind him was instantly dyed red, with some broken pink tissue hanging on it.
