The Last Gentleman-Chapter 261: New Life (End of Volume)

Old World – Deep Layer

In one of the neutral cities of colossal scale, an annual Duke’s sale event was greeted.

In this event, Duke Garison, an Old World merchant, would conduct a week-long sale of ancient castles. The news attracted countless patients, causing the city’s population to exceed ten times the usual number, which forced the city to issue temporary restrictions.

The Duke’s sale took place in the city’s largest venue, with lines stretching all the way to the city gates.

Depending on their status, buyers had trade times varying from one to five minutes,

while the trades were in full swing,

suddenly, the Duke interrupted a customer of no small consequence in front of him, closed his eyes, and sensed that imprint coming from another world.

“To think that one could use the remnants left by a Madman to play with, and construct a brain that transcends the Madman and blends multiple Attribute traits. Truly, I did not see the wrong person;you are indeed a quality customer of mine.”

The Duke was also in a good mood and directly offered an eighty percent discount to the customer in front of him.

Also in the Old World,

in a forest high up filled with newborn liquid, within the giant sheep head continually spouting a black waterfall from its eyes, a young girl with half a face adorned with sheep horns suddenly leaped up in excitement.

“Big brother has finally reached this step! The umbilical cord left in his body has sent sensations, such strong feelings! Far more intense than the breakthrough sensations of my sisters.

I should be able to meet big brother soon! Hehe.”

…

Inside Zion City

The Hospital, inside and out, was surrounded by gentlemen, all eager to know who was breaking through the Limit, causing such commotion. Since the creation of the Organization, fewer than ten gentlemen had caused such a stir.

Yet, recently two individuals appeared,

the former at the power station gathering thunderclouds, even with thunderbolts striking directly onto Zion’s Barrier,

and today, gathering black clouds over the hospital, causing brain effects throughout the entire city.

However,

as the Vice Principal Visari ordered the sealing of the pathology research building, no one knew what exactly happened inside, nor who caused such a big fuss.

The only exception was a certain woman with a unique identity who quietly infiltrated through means surpassing the building’s barrier level, passed through corridors, bypassed staff with her translucent starlight body through the hydraulic doors and arrived at the pool storing the Death Liquid.

Before the Vice Principal could open his mouth, the woman’s hand landed on his shoulder, and a friendly greeting came from beneath the mask:

“Visari Doctor, my student is doing well, isn’t he?”

Under the bird-beak mask, the Vice Principal was also startled, for even he rarely saw this Mysterious Principal.

“Principal Daislin, as far as I am aware, William should be Professor Qian Bosen’s student, shouldn’t he?”

“As long as William is in the academy, he is my student. Any questions?”

“No…”

Daislin surveyed the area, glancing towards the four glass bottles on the shore, “Visari Doctor seems to have supported quite a bit, huh? If needed, our academy can transfer the funds to you.”

“No need, these were originally intended for William’s use;I just didn’t expect him to use them all up.

This guy should be recovering soon… His appearance suggests a long, inhuman experience during his breakthrough, making it difficult for him now to adapt to the human body structure.”

The two turned their gazes back to the center of the pool,

Yi Chen remained in a cross-legged position, his eyes already open but without moving, simply observing his arm, trying to manipulate each finger joint.

Slowly shifting his attention to his legs, trying to stand up.

Yet he repeatedly fell over, taking a full ten minutes just to stand, his body still shaky, liable to fall over at any moment.

After all, during the breakthrough, Yi Chen had lived too long in the form of a capsid virus, even forgetting the concept of time, completely regarding the tentacles between the capsids as ‘limbs’ and accustomed to the state of parasitizing inside another’s body.

The Principal and Vice Principal waited in silence, not disturbing Yi Chen’s recovery.

Having maintained a standing posture for the past hour, Yi Chen finally fully adapted to various senses, and with some stiffness, moved his eyeballs to look at the two people on the shore.

“Lok-thorj… Principal Delis, Vice Principal Visari!” Yi Chen’s first words almost slipped into the Old World’s common language, but he quickly corrected himself.

Visari asked, “How do you feel?”

“It’s an indescribable feeling, perhaps I’m not fully accustomed yet… The only definite sensation is a strengthened connection with the ‘disease source,’ seemingly touching something deeper.”

Just as Yi Chen mentioned this, Desline suddenly extended her right hand forward, making a gesture of holding a bow.

Hum~ A short bow, condensed from stars, immediately appeared in her hand,

When her other hand touched the bowstring, a spirally structured arrow instantly formed.

Without another word, she shot directly at Yi Chen’s heart.

Whiz!

As the arrow dragged a comet tail in its flight,

although Yi Chen hadn’t fully adapted to his body yet, he instinctively stretched out his right arm, spreading his fingers… Hum! A pentagonal death barrier simultaneously formed.

Clang!

The barrier was pierced, but the arrow, contaminated by death, quickly disintegrated, causing no harm to Yi Chen.

Desline slightly tilted her head back, looking down at Yi Chen between the pools, “Now, that’s more like it~ Making such a fuss, it would have been too disappointing if you couldn’t even handle that.

Once your body stabilizes, come to me to learn Star Magic, and remember to knock when you arrive.”

As her words ended, the principal had already vanished from the death pool.

A few seconds later outside the hospital walls, a woman in leather boots and round-framed glasses briskly stepped out, preparing to head to the lower districts for a lavish meal.

Although Desline was quite sure that Yi Chen could block that arrow, she didn’t expect him to do it with such ease, and she felt a slight threat as the Death Shield formed.

This rare feeling of threat was both annoying and somewhat exhilarating for her.

Inside the Pathology Research building,

with Vice Principal Visari accompanying him, Yi Chen followed back to the office by moving his feet.

“William, your breakthrough has caused quite a stir in Zion;now the hospital is crowded inside and out. You can choose to go out directly, or you can take a secret passage here to a secluded area outside the hospital.

The choice is yours.”

“Better keep it low-key, please arrange a special pathway for me, Vice Principal.”

“However, such a breakthrough will inevitably attract higher-ups’ attention, and the First Gentleman will surely intensify his scrutiny of you. You must have plans of your own, so I won’t say more.

Before you leave, I have one last question, which pertains to your privacy, so it doesn’t matter whether you answer it or not.

Where does your death come from? Based on my observations over the past few days, the death substance in your body is in liquid form and closely linked to your brain, different from any other forms of death I know of, including those in the Old World.”

“I was truly dead once…”

Yi Chen gave only this answer, trusting Visari deeply but not wishing to discuss his previous life further.

“Truly dead, is that so? If you have any issues related to death in the future, you can always come to me for discussion. The hospital won’t hinder your access.”

“Thank you so very much for this time! Regarding the pool and the secret medicine, I will definitely compensate you in the future.”

“If you really want to repay, come and assist with some death experiments when you’re free~ Compared to tangible goods, I’m more interested in your body.”

“Certainly!”

Yi Chen walked alone in the corridor leading directly outside the hospital;his body gradually became fully familiar, with the movement of his arms and the stepping posture returning to normal.

As he completely regained his state as a “person,”

something slowly started to accumulate above his head,

appearing as a brass encased, a Long Strip Frame starting with a brain-shaped relief, filled with a metallic luster black liquid, heavy like metal, intense and filled with death.
