The final gentleman

When he saw that this life modeled after the 'Primary Dead' actually appeared in the aquarium, and was still swimming in black liquid, Yi Chen was shocked and immediately fell into self-reflection. It was obvious that deep death had an impact on him. The impact was huge, even affecting his most important memory area.

"Could it be said that the death I brought from the original world has the same origin as the 'deep death' explored by the original deceased?

Therefore, I will not be affected by "withering" on the surface. In fact, due to the same homology, deep death directly penetrates into my epileptic brain and reacts with the black liquid of death hidden in the deepest part.

It disturbs my nature and affects my memories of my lifetime. "

While thinking, Yi Chen came to the sink and placed his entire palm on the glass surface.

Snapped!

The "Death Structure" with only half a head and a hanging aperture also swam over and stretched out its own palm. Through the glass, the two 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 its chin, mouth and nose corresponding to the half head is almost the same as that of Yi Chen.

But they are almost the same. There are still some differences between the two.

The skin color of the death structure is yellowish, and the physical characteristics are also more like that of a yellow person, or in other words, more like 'Yichen, who was a yellow person during his lifetime'.

The young man standing in the passage of the aquarium is also the 'owner' of this memory palace. He 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 squirm, and bubbles emerged one by one. The meaning could be directly read based on the simple mouth shape. It was repeating a phrase.

§Yi Chen is me, and you are William§

The constant repetition emphasizes the difference between the two and the inseparable close connection. It also seems to urge William to break the glass and realize the combination of the two.

The repetitive words gradually created a sense of hypnosis, so that William, who was standing outside, took out his pistol and pointed the muzzle at the severely damaged glass surface.

Just when I was about to pull the trigger,

Buzz! A burst of brain waves rippled through the brain, and William's skull was directly opened, highlighting the structure of the beautiful, dark and dignified brain, symbolizing the thirst for endless knowledge and madness.

A generalized epileptic seizure twists William's body into a ball and wakes him up.

He fell to the ground, twitching wildly and muttering: "No... now is not the time! I am who I am... don't affect my thinking!"

The epileptic seizure is over and everything goes silent.

William repaired the cracks in the aquarium as quickly as possible, then turned into a cleaner to clean up the black liquid on the ground, and lit all the candles in the passage.

Let the candlelight, glass and corpses piled between the water tanks work together to block the overflow of the ‘past’.

When William turned around and left, the human form that looked like the original deceased was pressed against the glass, with an almost crazy dark smile grinning at the corner of his mouth.

Then, it completely pressed its mouth against the glass, licking and vibrating its tongue, making a sound that made William feel uncomfortable all over.

"Are you still afraid to face your [self]? Really... Well, if you encounter real danger outside, the danger that you will die, the danger that you cannot fight alone, then come in and release me.

Don't be brave, William. "

As soon as he finished speaking...boom! The slamming of the door echoed through the aquarium.

William had closed the dark iron door again, and at the same time took out a special 'memory gel' to repair the holes in the iron door. When the last hole was about to be filled, William also said softly:

"Just stay inside, Yi Chen."

...This article starts here. The protagonist's name will be mixed by Yi Chen and William, and will be officially changed to William...

After exiting and closing the [Memory Palace], William's consciousness returned to the surface from the depths of the brain, returned to the physical perception of reality, and woke up in the high-speed Ascaris workshop.

A gentle, warm and rhythmic head massage feeling comes,

Thirteen, with wax flowing out of her eyes, was sitting behind William's seat and providing the simplest head massage, because she had been watching from the sidelines the previous few times, silently watching everything the flight attendant did for the teacher. Now that the flight attendant was forced to leave, she wanted to give it a try herself.

Such subjective initiative is impossible to achieve for an ordinary candle puppet.

"Thirteen, thank you for your hard work... By the way, how long did I sleep?"

"Teacher, wake up~ Let me take a look, it seems like it's been a long time."

Thirteen gently unbuttoned her collar, revealing the delicate hourglass on her chest, "It has been three days and two hours. During this time, I have been touching your head with my fingers. Your brain has been around since last night. The death induction inside has begun to weaken, and now it has returned to the same state as before, congratulations to the 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 to free up space for free movement. He also customized the car to grow some horizontal bar structures.

Start doing some exaggerated stretching exercises, such as hanging your waist on the horizontal bar, folding your body in half, and keeping your back and legs completely together.

Then take out the painful acupuncture to effectively puncture the joints and acupuncture points of the whole body.

In the end, the firearm "Bartos" was taken out for a comprehensive inspection, and Xiao Putao was appointed as the workshop supervisor, responsible for producing bullets suitable for dealing with cortical creatures, in case of emergency.

The weapons of the dead sealed in the Shroud remain in the suitcase, and are only taken out when correct and necessary.

Along the way, I have heard rumors about the "abnormality in the leather factory" no less than ten times. Even William himself felt the abnormality personally during the selection of the First Gentleman.

When he fell to the bottom along the First Gentleman's "skin tunnel", not only did he fail to reach the leather factory, but he was also sprayed out by an unknown and strange stream of blood.

Many organizations and epidemic-affected areas in the old world that have cooperative relationships with leather factories have also temporarily cut off contact, and all related production orders have been cancelled. The entire leather factory seems to be completely isolated from the outside world.

Even the Duke deliberately kept it secret, hoping that William would go and see it for himself.

When the warm-up exercise was over, William also called the flight attendant to ask about the remaining journey time, and was told that it would take three full days.

Because Yousui Leather Factory is also located in a corner of the old world, a corner that is special and different from the original tomb, a corner that is rich in products and most suitable for factory operations.

Seeing that there was still a lot of time left, William took out the "Skin Bible" from the clothing room and prepared to review it.

Since gentlemen's clothing corresponds to inferior leather bags and he is unable to read the formal content of the Bible, he has not opened this book for a long time.

When the alienated Bible, which had been stained black by death and whose face was covered with bones, was taken out again, and the entire carriage was covered with a layer of rotten and blackened leather, William remembered a question.

“Since I absorbed [Skin Man], completed the production of Black Dead Skin, and the unexpected transformation of the Skin Bible, I seem to have forgotten to re-read it, and I have been completely immersed in the exploration of the original tomb and the acquisition of keystones... Fortunately, I still have time. , come and take a look quickly.”

When William opened the blackened Bible and re-read the relevant content in the prologue, a completely different picture of the leather factory came to mind.

It is completely different from the image of the leather factory that I saw when I first read the book.

This is a factory structure that is dyed black, with death particles floating in the air, and the skins on the production line are covered with black spots. Lubricating oil made from black liquor can even be seen between the bearings of some biological machines.

Deadly and depressing, but something seems to be hidden.

"Is this... a leather factory suitable for me in the future?"
