The Last Gentleman

Chapter 770 The evil that can be controlled freely

 Backstage five minutes ago,

Yi Chen, who escaped from the circus and woke up from reality, was sitting backstage on a special seat used to connect performance characters.

 He sat on the far right side of the room and Art on the far left.

With the departure from the clown circus, all the labels attached to the performance room have become invalid. Yi Chen's eyeballs and arms immediately regenerated quickly under the influence of death and returned to normal.

Before he could further check his body's condition, Yi Chen immediately felt the vicious eruption coming from the other side! Art lost control, and pus instantly filled the entire backstage.

Yi Chen also decisively switched to the dead person makeup and stopped breathing, using death to isolate himself from the erosion and immersion of pus.

“Malignantness devours reason... Once a guy like Art comes into contact with [evil] on the main material plane, he will be assimilated, and may even combine with evil to give birth to something unimaginable.

 He must be killed here, at all costs! "

Yichen took out his dagger and pulled off the various nerve hoses connected to his body. As soon as he got up... poof! A mouthful of thick black blood spurted out, and his body trembled.

The performance not only completely overdrawn Yi Chen's soul, he was currently in a daze and couldn't even muster the strength to raise his hands.

Nash, who provided support and cooperation throughout the whole process, also reached his limit. The parasitic mimicry of his lower body began to soften, and he felt like he would collapse at any time.

"Second boss... the best thing we should do now is rest! If Art is acting like this, Boss William and others will stop him, not to mention there is a Duke here.

 Let’s not worry about what’s going on here. "

However, Yi Chen did not respond verbally, and what he conveyed to Nash was only an absolute obsession.

This strong obsession actually made the trembling body straighten up again, ignoring the obstruction of the pus and walking towards Art, as if there were countless dead people supporting Yi Chen in the process, assisting him in completing the execution of evil.

Just when Yi Chen was approaching, he raised the dagger in his hand and was about to chop it off!

Buzz! His whole body was stunned, because all the [evil] infinitely released from Art's body actually dissipated at this moment, and dissipated for no reason.

Yi Chen has killed countless villains, but he has never seen anything like this.

Soon, all the overflowing pus returned to Yat's body, and the other party also opened his bulging eyes and stared at Yi Chen in front of him.

“Mr. Yi, I’m sorry~ I was a little out of control just now! After all, you left the performance venue suddenly, and the gap in my heart was a little big. It seems that my tent needs to be reinforced.

　　I had reinforced it once before when the moon ran away. I didn’t expect you to be able to tear it apart. It’s really amazing. "

 At suddenly stood up and pressed Yi Chen on the shoulder.

He put his bared yellow teeth close to his ear and whispered, "When are you going to kill me again? I can feel that Mr. Yi seems to be very interested in the malice in my body."

 “I will take the initiative to find him when I have the means to kill him.”

“Then I’ll wait for you slowly, okay! Come on stage quickly, it’s not good to keep the audience waiting for too long.”

Yat's state was particularly strange. Not only did he not show any evil thoughts or hostility about wanting to kill or absorb Yi Chen, but he actually reached out his hand in a seemingly friendly manner to help Yi Chen and join him on stage.

certainly,

Yi Chen, who has experienced the clown circus, also suffers from PTSD to a greater or lesser extent, and is quite resistant to any subjective contact with Art. Yi Chen can clearly feel that clown phobia has taken effect on him.

One stepped back and distanced himself, looking at the moody clown in front of him with surprise.

　　　『Is it evil that can be freely controlled? Can this guy subjectively control the malice that is rooted in his soul?

 No~impossible...evil cannot be completely controlled.

  The concept of "performance" is most likely to be more important to him. It is a method that Art learned at the circus or was taught to him by his boss. It is an important means to suppress evil. 』

Yi Chen did not rush to a conclusion. He walked out from the other side of the backstage and stood on the stage to thank the audience present.

 The moment he stood on the stage,

Buzz! Strong tinnitus echoed in the brain, and the vision immediately became blurred.

 He couldn't see clearly the clapping movements of the audience, nor could he hear clearly what William, the director, was saying. He just stood like this.

  Completely overdrawn, even Nash, who was supporting him, fainted.

Just when he was about to fall on the stage, a hand was put on his shoulder, and the voice transmitted by his epileptic brain directly sounded in his consciousness.

“Yi Chen, thank you for your hard work on the performance. I will take over the awarding ceremony later and all the awards will be transferred to you.”

 When he heard this voice, Yi Chen no longer held on.

  …  Gurgling!

Bubbles glowing with black light floated on the water tank,

I don’t know how much time passed, but Yi Chen’s consciousness woke up under the coffin deep in the aquarium, his thoughts calmed down, his soul also recovered, and the fragrance of instant noodles even lingered in his mouth.

 Evidently William, who is of the same body, took a lot of supplements, and all the effects were on him.

 At the same time that Yi Chen woke up,

There were sounds of footsteps in the dark aquarium. William squeezed into the narrow aisle and walked with cheerful and excited steps, holding a certificate for "Best Actress" in his hand.

“Yi Chen, congratulations! This is the result of the audience’s vote. As for the bonus, if you want it, I can give it to you.

However, you and I are not separated yet, and it doesn’t matter whether we give or not.

When Yi Chen plans to go to the original tomb alone, can I give it to you together? "

Yi Chen is not interested in these superficial things. He only cares about one thing, "The nature of this performance seems to have changed due to Art taking the spotlight. The threat of [evil] has not been fully demonstrated. How to show the old The world is getting a wake-up call? How do you handle it?"

“With Art’s character, I had already guessed that this would happen.

So in the final awarding session, I worked with Little Putao to activate the [field] in the storybook, taking everyone to the urban scene (outside world) presented in the story, and the human body collectors interacted and awarded the awards on the spot. The effect was pretty good. .

These audiences who can land on the moon are considered the best in the old world.

 When those guys who have not been transformed by Lorian return to their respective camps, they will spread the [evil] situation to the plague areas and organizations where they are located.

 Coupled with the Duke’s support, I believe this time the alarm bell can be sounded smoothly. "

 Yi Chen asked the second question,

“Why was there no storybook intervention in the final show, my showdown with Art? Not even the Body Collector appeared once?”

 “That’s right! You don’t know about this yet…”

 William directly pasted the storybook containing "The Human Body Collector" on the wall of the water tank so that Yi Chen inside could see clearly.

"What!"

Yi Chen saw the traces left after the pustules were removed on the surface of the book.

 “Can that guy Art hurt this conceptual evil?”

“That’s right! The efficiency is much higher than ours, and it even directly caused tumors to grow on this book. I was forced to take back the evil girl.

This may be related to his malignant tumor, or it may be related to his nature, birth or innate evil. "

William then said excitedly, "It's all thanks to your performance, Yi Chen, that I saw Art's true ability clearly, which exceeded my expectations! I didn't expect that one of the three giants of the circus could reach this level!

Art won the [Best Actor Award] for this show, and I also asked Art to leave a special and separate contact information in your name, Yi Chen. In the future, we can have in-depth communication with him in private. .

Perhaps, we can find an efficient way to eliminate [evil] from Art. "

After hearing these words, Yi Chen stared at William with a smile on the other side of the glass with his murderous eyes for a full minute.

 It’s a pity that I didn’t see any malicious behavior.

“William, if there is any sign of malice in you, I will kill you.”

“What are you thinking~ It’s just to establish a private cooperative relationship with Art. After all, Catherine is also working for Art... When the time comes, you can kill him faster, right?

 Besides, Yi Chen, you should also be interested in Art, right? It was obvious that he almost lost control at the end, but could suddenly return to normal. This kind of evil that can be controlled freely should be very rare, right? "

"You should have a lot of funeral matters to deal with, right? William." Yi Chen obviously no longer wanted to continue chatting.

"By the way! The Duke found me before and seemed to want to meet you alone. Let's separate when you are free... Anyway, that guy Nash has almost recovered and can be used as your 'wheelchair' at any time."

Yi Chen didn’t respond, and slowly moved away from the glass of the water tank to mix with the corpses piled in the aquarium.

　　It’s an update on the weekend. I’ll take my little fat boy to play in the evening.
