The Last Gentleman

  Chapter 57 The Sick Gentleman

   A bandage wrapped around the nurse's face,

   The expression changes are achieved by the amount of blood oozing and the location of oozing blood.

   The blood stains currently soaked on the surface of the bandage showed a somewhat distorted blood-red smile, as if he was very happy to complete the task given by the 'master'.

   The nurse used the needle that grew out of her finger to poke at the meat bubble button printed with the number [-13].

Snapped! Meat bubble burst

  哐～哐～

   With a fairly regular shaking, the elevator began to go underground.

  Each floor down means a decrease in the chance of escape,

  Ding dong! The thirteenth floor of the basement has arrived.

  The moment the lift opens,

   A group of white mice rushed in like a stream of water, occupying the space between the elevators. Their bright white hair and soft flesh were attached to the leather shoes and trouser legs of the two of them, making people very uncomfortable.

   "Don't worry, these are Mr. Li's 'pets'. As long as they are guests, they will never attack.

   Come with me, Mr. Li lives in the deepest [ward]. "

  The nurse led the way with limping steps,

  The rats crowded on the ground will take the initiative to move away once they sense the arrival of an object.

   The two immediately followed.

  Edmund came from a large family, although he received professional training since he was a child. But for this area full of mice, he instinctively resisted, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

   On the other hand, Yi Chen seemed relatively relaxed, without any discomfort,

   During the time he was in the orphanage, he often stayed with the mice, and even became partners with a few of them, giving them corresponding names.

  After all, in such an environment, rats are more trustworthy than humans.

   When Yi Chen glanced at the group of mice under him, he felt a sense of disobedience.

  『These mice seem to be single, but in fact they have a kind of wholeness... The unity is controlled by some existence, or it is originally a whole.

   These things cannot be called rats, but a type of dangerous group associated with [disease]. 』

   Basement thirteen floors,

  This is not a straight path,

   is a complex underground palace with many twists and turns, and it can even be compared to a large mouse nest.

  Mr. Li, who creates the same space and manages the clinic's "inner world", is more like hiding in the deepest part of the underground palace.

   A hoarse sound came from the inside when knocking on the iron door covered with rust and rat skin structure.

   "Did you bring them? Let them in."

   Driven by the rats, the iron door of the ward slowly opened.

   The so-called [Mr. Li] is not as scary or indescribable as expected. Compared with the abnormal patients in the clinic, he is more like a human being.

  Under the messy silver hair, there is a face of about thirty years old, with sharp and concave cheeks.

physically abled,

   The whole person was quite weakly lying on a hospital bed,

   His forehead, neck, wrists, and ankles were connected to infusion bottles, and he was cared for by three bandaged nurses and a 'hot' female doctor.

The    hospital bed was also custom-made for him, with a large hole in the center of the bed board.

   A large number of silver-white blood vessels grew on his back, densely packed,

   penetrated the bed hole like tree roots and plunged into the ground of the ward, as if connected with this ward, this underground space, or the entire clinic.

   seems to have been lying on the bed for too long,

  The flesh on his back is almost connected to the hospital bed, no gap can be seen, and he can't turn over.

in addition,

  Yi Chen's keen eyes also noticed a detail, Mr. Li's neck has a conspicuous "moon seal" printed on it, which is also the signature proof of lunar infection in the fake moon incident record.

   can be roughly inferred.

   This Mr. Li is one of the survivors of the "Fake Moon Incident". He grew up quietly in the depths of the ground, and created a co-located space similar to that of a clinic with the help of a special "monthly disease".

Another point,

   is also what surprised Yi Chen and Edmund the most.

   This Mr. Li is actually wearing a tattered [Gentleman's Clothing], which still exudes the breath of "Gentleman's Skin".

   Before the two could speak,

   Mr. Li turned his head and looked directly at the two of them with silver eyes.

   "The organization actually sent new people like you here to do business? Is there a shortage of manpower... It seems that those guys in Zion are really dying.

  If I guess right, you should be here to recycle this thing? "

   Mr. Li moved his fingers,

  The mottled and old empty bottles were sent to the feet of the two of them by the group of mice that were active on the ground.

   The label on the bottle reads "Twilight Clinic's original research and development - Twilight Silver Liquid".

   "I'm really sorry, this thing has already been used by me! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to live until now, and I wouldn't be able to establish a direct connection with the moon.

  Although you are only newcomers, your strength is not bad!

   It can adapt to the "Moonlight Clinic" I created for the first time, complete a quick kill on an abnormal patient, and quickly escape from the main building.

   In this case, I can barely do things for me.

   As long as you can do it, I will give you three rewards:

  1. No longer imprisoned in the Moonlight Clinic I created, and be free.

  2. The empty bottle of the secret medicine that I used can be taken back and submitted to the quest.

  3. Antidote. "

   When hearing the word antidote,

   Yi Chen and Edmund have already reacted,

However,

   The nurse, who was close behind them, had already inserted her finger into their necks and injected a special medicine into their bodies.

   "Don't worry, this is a [plague transforming agent] specially developed by me. It has a long incubation period. The tested period is one week. As long as the serum is injected before this time, it can be completely suppressed.

   Don't be too nervous ~ take it easy! After all, everyone is a gentleman.

   Although I have been eroded by disease, the [integrity] of being a gentleman has not been lost. As long as you do things successfully, the above three conditions will be satisfied. "

   Being in such a passive scene, it is impossible to refuse.

   Just as Edmund stretched out his hand to cover the injection hole on his neck, trying to contain the diseased invasion in his body as much as possible.

   Yi Chen took the initiative to step forward, came to Mr. Li's bedside, and made a fairly standard gentleman's etiquette.

   "William Behrens, it's a pleasure to work with Mr. Lee. I wonder what you need us to do?"

   Seeing the young man in front of him adapt so quickly, Mr. Li was slightly surprised, but also showed an expression of admiration.

   "I need you to go to the [Venal City] in reality.

   To kill the "Lunarized Disease Patients" hiding in the ruins of the city, the target is the skin with the "Moonmark" on their bodies, and it is required to peel off the whole piece and ensure at least 15×15cm size.

   Complete collection, bring it to me.

  Remember, my trading partners are only the two of you, and the two of you will come back when the time comes. Don’t think about bringing your teammates in with you. "

   "Do these things do you any good?"

   "This is not a question you should ask, just go ahead and do it. Remember, the potion will take effect for [one week], don't delay it for too long, and it may break out early."

"OK."

   "Go~ Go back to the clinic building, go back to your original bedroom, have a good sleep, and when you wake up again, you can return to the [surface].

   By the way, if you are efficient in your work and the quantity and quality of the lunar skins you bring back are good,

   I can also reveal some secrets about the clinic to you. "
