Chapter 352 -351 City of the Dead
[Twilight Clinic]
Yi Chen, Reagan, and Jin had all maxed out their “Sensing” attributes during the human phase.
All three had different understandings of the brain,
and facing a peer in Death who was not skilled in Sensing, they easily completed a mental inducement having the upper hand.
Reagan was responsible for stripping away the person’s mental defenses,
then Jin would sow tumors into his brain, breaking through its external defense,
finally, Yi Chen was in charge of the “clean-up.”
However, the form of clean-up Yi Chen took stunned both teammates on the spot, even Jin, who often stayed up all night working on bodies, saw this special Professional Ability – “Education” for the first time.
Both knew about the infamous Madman group from the Old World, and according to common understanding, after enslaving an individual, a Madman would start consuming the brain.
Just when they thought Yi Chen would do something similar,
he released Scott’s constraints, allowing him to regain both physical and mental freedom.
Jin immediately grabbed the Blood Baby Longsword, ready to strike down his enemy.
However,
Scott, exhaling black fog from his mouth, showed not the slightest hint of hostility.
Upon opening his eyes, he kneeled on one knee and cried out from deep within his soul, calling Yi Chen “Teacher!”
Yi Chen nodded, even reaching out to touch the newly attached skull of the other, absorbing Scott’s memories from both before and after death, which naturally included the current state of Levinhome.
He learned that life from the Original Tomb in the Old World was governing the entire district through the body of Sun Dis, and that this Old World visitor carried something valuable that Yi Chen successfully glimpsed.
If they could obtain it, this trip out for special training would be incredibly worthwhile,
Instantly, his brain began operating at full capacity, constructing a meticulous and bold plan in his mind,
By the time Yi Chen’s eyes reopened, he hurriedly looked at his two teammates, “Fancy playing a big game?”
Jin was naturally willing, even agreeing directly without asking for specifics.
Reagan’s attitude, however, was completely different. He was not willing to take risks, especially with Faye following him, “William, I came out here just to help with training, I didn’t say I wanted to do anything else.”
“Reagan, let me tell you the plan first.”
Yi Chen explained the plan step by step in detail, ensuring that there were no gaps in any step, and the risks were minimized.
“If it can be achieved, Levinhome might be retaken.
Even though the ecological environment there is no longer suitable for living, the Organization will give us three great rewards! At that time, I will renounce all my rewards and distribute them evenly between you two, how does that sound?
Moreover, I will also do my utmost to collect information on the deceased during the combat and collaborate with Reagan to produce a scientific research report on the deceased, which may help Miss Faye’s recovery and growth.”
“Hmm~ Let me think about it.”
Reagan leaned against the wall, not forgetting to pull out a hot roasted leg of beef from his pouch, chewing it while pondering, and also discussing with Faye who was connected to the cables.
The conclusion was reached -[Do it].
…
[Levinhome]
The entire city was enveloped in a thick black fog, a giant black cross stood in the heart of the city, topped by a strange halo, signifying ‘the symbol of the dead’.
Scott, his legs completely marred by varicose veins, was sprinting back as fast as he could.
He went straight to the depths of the sewer beneath the cross, where nearly 50% of the dead were laboring, expanding and converting the sewer into a sufficiently large underground tomb.
Each passage was carved with numerous skulls of the dead, also adorned with various ‘Skull Hundred Forms Maps’.
In the deepest part,
dark and mixed with a large number of bones, the underground streams gathered here, forming four waterfalls that fell vertically, precisely located in the northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest directions.
In the center of the waterfall, a rudimentary form of a throne was constructed,
and Sun Dis, in his black clerical robe, was sitting there, his forehead branded with the same mark of the dead, signifying that the insides of this shell had been completely replaced.
Corresponding to the Apprentice Knight from the Original Tomb, Bart Prada.
When Doctor Scott hurried over,
from within Bart, a purest Aura of Death instantly released, overwhelming him to the ground, and checked his entire physical state to confirm that Doctor Scott was in no danger before retracting the Aura back into his body.
“Did you find anything?”
“Yes! Thanks to the dead’s ability, while I was exploring the Twilight Clinic, I discovered an unknown underground chamber through the Death Aura seeping from the ground.
It required the activation of several mechanisms and even forcefully breaking through multiple obstacles to access it.
I found a small vial of ‘Dusk Thin Silver Liquid’ that had not been reclaimed by the Gentleman Organization.
However, a special seal was also set up in that chamber, presumably designed by Doctor Macaul, the original owner of the Twilight Clinic. With my current strength, I cannot break it.
There might be more secret medicine in there, even a complete set of equipment and materials for making secret medicine.”
“Let’s not say too much, show me the secret medicine you found.”
“Yes!”
Scott presented the half gray, half black secret medicine very respectfully.
When Bart took the vial, he immediately felt a strong sense of death, and his dim pupils became lustrous and moist.
Gurgle gurgle~
He drank the liquid within the vial in one gulp.
Hum!
A silver sheen covered the surface of Bart’s eyeballs,
and at the same time,
a field of Death Aura was released automatically within Bart, causing all nearby waterfalls to stop flowing and a pair of faintly visible wings appeared on his back, and one could even faintly hear the neighing of warhorses from below the ground.
This sensation was too exhilarating for Bart, and he even leapt up from his seat.
Because the dosage was so slight, the silvery-gray color in his pupils quickly dissipated.
“Such a fine substance! If I could bring a large quantity of this secret medicine back to the Original Tomb, or even master the method of its production, I would officially be recognized by the Knight Order.
You… did very well!”
Bart stepped down from the throne and placed a hand on Scott’s head to imbue him with ‘Death Plague Breath’.
Immediately, the physical exhaustion from his long journey was replenished, and it even deepened his understanding of death.
The varicose veins protruding on the outside of Scott’s thigh faintly formed the shape of a cross, though still imperfect.
“Thank you, my lord!”
“You deserve it. If there truly is enough secret medicine and related equipment in the depths of the chamber you mentioned, I will personally conduct the ‘Transformation Ceremony’ for you, turning you into a true dead.
Hurry and take me there, I want to see what kind of special seal it is, whether it can resist the invasion of the Death Plague.
The rest of the dead continue with the ‘tomb expansion’ here.”
“Yes, my lord!”
Scott’s performance was impeccable, he still respected Bart in front of him, and all that the dead represented, it’s just… these things seemed worthless in front of his teacher.
