The final gentleman

A diseased world,

Various existences and developable abilities beyond common sense,

And the mysterious organization that is about to go,

The endless unknown is waiting to be explored,

Because Yi Chen was too excited, he only slept for four hours last night... Perhaps it was because he had acquired the 'sickness characteristic'. Not only was he not sleepy, but his mental state was in excellent condition.

The moment he stepped out of the cemetery gate,

I thought I would welcome fresh air, warm sunshine, and colorful and vibrant townspeople.

However,

The street scene is not much better than the cemetery;

The wind blowing in the face is mixed with a strong smell, which is the smell of crude oil, industrial waste liquid, metal and various by-products. You can almost taste it.

Across the rows of low, pointed town buildings, you can see several thick chimneys emitting waste gas.

The sun was not as bright as expected,

The sky seemed to be covered with several layers of fine fabrics, and only sparse light fell on the ground, which was not even enough to dispel the dark dust left over from last night.

As far as the eye can see, the number of townspeople cannot exceed the number of fingers.

They seem to be unwilling to expose their bodies to the air, so they use large pieces of cloth to cover their entire bodies.

Even his face was wearing a homemade simple mask, and his body was hunched, trying to breathe as close to the ground as possible.

The whole town is weird and cold,

Even mixed with a hint of despair,

"This world...is worse than I imagined."

At this moment, a cheerful friction sound came from the shoulder,

The furry black balls seemed to have just woken up,

Opening his mouth wide, revealing the black and white eyeballs inside, he kept rubbing them... as if he was stretching.

Two slender black hands danced back and forth like waves.

“It’s great to finally get out of this damn cemetery!

Let's get something to eat before we go on our adventure...I haven't eaten in a long time. "

"Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"Grapes, lots of grapes..."

When the black flesh ball said the word "grape", it pointed at his own eyes at the same time. Yi Chen naturally understood the true meaning of "grape" in its mouth.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Thinking about the world in which they were alive, many people also liked to eat food such as fish eyes and roasted pig eyes.

"Okay, but you have to go to the clothing store first."

current,

Yi Chen was only wearing a sloppy and torn shirt.

There are still holes that penetrate between the sleeves and arms, and there are scratch marks on the waist, abdomen, and trouser legs.

Paired with [William Behrens]'s body, which has not had a shower or shampoo for several days, it would still be at the bottom of the tramp room.

Walking through the relatively spacious streets of the town,

Because no one had cleaned it for a long time, the cracks in the ground were filled with melon seed shells, dirty water, and rotting insect corpses.

The flow of people has been decreasing year by year, and a large number of shops have long been closed.

The remaining stores are barely hanging on and may close down at any time.

Such a scene made Yi Chen wonder, do decent clothing stores really exist?

When in doubt,

At the corner of the street, a house with a structure completely different from the surrounding houses came into view.

It is mainly black and has a strong Gothic style, tall and thin.

There seemed to be someone quietly peering into the outside between the long windows.

The whole thing gives people a delicate and gloomy feeling, like aristocratic buildings that only exist in big cities, which is incompatible with this dilapidated town.

The bronze framed plaque at the door reads - [Maurice \u0026 Sad (Maurice \u0026 Sad)]

With the visual amplification provided by the small meat balls, the high-end clothing can be seen through the window.

"This should be what Mr. Wilbert said, the most high-end clothing store in the town.

By the way, this kind of clothing store costs a lot of money for daily expenses, and it should be difficult for the townspeople's income to spend money in this kind of store.

Why does such a store exist? "

With doubts,

Yi Chen crossed the dirty street and pushed open the front door of the clothing store under the gaze of masked residents.

Bell~

The silver bell connected to the door frame rang at the same time.

The light fragrance quickly surrounds the senses of the nose, drowning out the industrial smell remaining in the nasal cavity.

This smell instantly filtered Yi Chen out of the dilapidated town and led him into this elegant and quiet clothing store.

Various handheld lamps are distributed in various areas of the store

above the wardrobe,

side wall corner,

Or display it alone on a booth somewhere as a decoration.

The lights are intertwined, conveying the panoramic view of the clothing store to customers, while giving warmth and security.

A lady wearing a floral top hat, a tulle covering her face, and a long skirt lying on the floor came out of the inner room.

The firelight can depict a beautiful face like a painting through the gauze.

Yi Chen originally thought that with such a shabby appearance, he would be looked down upon by his boss, or even kicked out.

However,

The woman stopped in front of him,

Smell gently through the gauze,

Looting the cemetery smell that belongs exclusively to Yi Chen,

"It's really rare. No living person has been able to leave the cemetery for a long time...Wilbert asked you to come, right?"

"Yes.

Mr. Wilbert asked me to come here and buy something that would suit me before I got into the carriage. "

Yi Chen immediately took out the metal business card from his trouser pocket.

"Do we need to leave in a hurry today?"

"Yes."

"In this case, you can only choose [ready-made clothing]... wait until you pass the organization's review, and then go to the tailor shop over there for [full customization]."

When the proprietress mentioned the word ‘organization’, it seemed that she and the clothing store were related to organizations, so the financial support behind it made sense.

"I wonder if the money I have is enough?"

Yi Chen took out all his belongings from working in the cemetery - a small pocket full of silver coins.

However,

The landlady didn't even look at these scattered coins.

Instead, he pinched Yi Chen's wrist, his sharp nails almost poking into the skin.

Through such a simple contact,

The boss lady not only completed the measurement of the body size, but also read some internal information.

"No wonder you were able to walk out of the cemetery alive, and you also got Wilbert's business card and cemetery products. It turns out that you took the initiative to accept the [disease], which is quite interesting."

The landlady's words were retracted along with her palms,

He also took away nearly half of the silver coins from the bag.

"I happen to have a ready-to-wear suit here that fits your size.

However, before you try on the outfit, you need to 'purify' your body and wash away the dust of the dead brought out from the cemetery. "

Under the guidance of the proprietress, we went to the bathroom in the clothing store.

After cleaning,

The proprietress will shave and cut the hair herself.

After finishing modifying his appearance, Yi Chen was finally able to take a look at his appearance in the dressing mirror.

Under the finely trimmed black hair, his face and facial features are not much different from his original self. It can even be said that some Western features have been added to the original appearance.

Such as a higher nose bridge and deep eye sockets.

If you look closely, it actually looks a bit like the young Keanu Reeves... Although the details are a bit off, the overall look is still very good.

"There are quite a lot of similarities between me and the original owner of this body, maybe it's all related to time travel. 』

Next is the fitting.

white shirt,

A small vest with dark green stripes,

Black trousers with certain elasticity,

And a black trench coat that is similar to the overalls in the cemetery, covering the whole body and covering the face... giving people a sense of gloom.

Tie the laces of your black Oxford shoes,

The boss lady tied a black tie herself.

When he saw the new image in the mirror, Yi Chen's spirit was lifted.
