The Last Gentleman-Chapter 720 - 718: Scene and Story

Since urban legends involved one-on-one communication, and William was extremely skilled in conversing, he decided to use communication as an entry point, and gradually unleashed "Social Phobia."

If he could completely spread the fear, even patients of the Silver Circle would succumb to overwhelming fear, with their consciousness collapsing, turning them into walking corpses.

Feeling the womans body tremble, William knew that the fear had taken effect;he continued to critique the exhibits and even delved deeper into her mind, his eyes not blinking once.

The deeper the Fear Seed was sown, the greater the subsequent impact would be.

Until a strong shiver forced the womans legs to clasp tightly, a repulsive force suddenly ejected William from her body, his hands folding back to close his coat.

William, with a face of regret, said, "Is the show over? To be honest, I wasnt quite done watching... but I am very grateful to Miss Daria."

William also bowed politely, believing himself to have perfectly interfaced with this urban legend. He wasnt scared off, he didnt hesitate, nor did he make any critique mistakes;everything was flawlessly executed.

Logically, the other party shouldnt make things too difficult for him, and might even lift the spatial restriction.

More importantly, the fear had already taken effect, and it would inevitably influence the subsequent eradication process.

Gick~gick~gick!

The sound of bubbles emanating from deep within the throat came once again, making even the body of a Complete Shaper slightly tremble.

A series of sounds, as if being cut by a knife, spilled out from the womans throat,

"You... are very... special.

You are the first to observe closely and provide a good critique,

Your eyes seem able to make very detailed observations,

Your eyes are very beautiful,

I really like your eyes,

Your eyes would make a fine exhibit."

A second ago, William thought the danger was gone, but instantaneously he felt a deadly threat as a tide of evil thoughts rushed towards him.

Silver Frame Display

William Behrens, The Gestalt one (Complete Shaper, William Behrenssince Yi Chen was not inside, the letter Y was stripped away).

As the silver frame with a DNA spiral structure carved onto its surface emerged, a series of deep, despairing melodies played, attempting to influence the urban legend before him.

William also aimed his gun at the woman,

Inside the gun, a bullet containing bacteriophages, made in cooperation with Dentist Jessica, was fully loaded,

He pulled the trigger.

A tooth-shaped bullet with nails embedded on its surface shot out of the barrel,

This bullet, potent enough to threaten Silver Circle patients, didnt buy any time at all,

The special bullet penetrated the womans forehead without touching this surreal consciousness.

"Your... two eyes, I will cherish and collect."

The woman almost stood close to William, her right hand making a motion to pluck out eyeballs, slowly stretching forward.

At this speed, even if William was an ordinary person, he could easily dodge,

But now, he could neither retreat nor dodge,

He clearly remembered the taboos of the urban legend, that retreating or dodging here might trigger the keyword escape, at which point not only his eyes would be gone, his whole body might be collected.

Find a way!

Hastened by frantic thinking, he arrived at two breakthrough conclusions,

1. Pull out the last-resort measure"Abyss Flipping"

2. Try to make contact with his teammates, either Yi Chen or the elder would know better how to deal with this kind of entity.

"I must keep my cool, without clear understanding of the opponents essence, or even uncertain if the woman before me is the true body, its too risky to use Abyss Flipping... If unleashed, I must swiftly complete her eradication, but now is not the time."

William started calling for help in his own way, not calling Yi Chen, but again imitating the elders breathing, attempting to completely synchronize his own breathing frequency with that of the elder.

But... the womans right hand had already reached in front of his eyes.

Without any sound, without any pain, without any sensation of physical separation!

Williams eyeball, along with its optic nerve, was completely removed and held in the womans hand with a label attached to it.

"Eye of Insight" - Able to perfectly identify and appreciate special eyeballs from the Physical museum, 25 years old, male.

Buzz!

William only felt a buzzing in his ears, as though he had lost something important. His field of vision was reduced by half, the right side shrouded in darkness, a sense of despair overwhelmed him.

"My eye... has been collected!"

William did not panic;he continued to regulate his breathing, forcibly suppressing the feeling of despair with his frenzied mind.

But the womans collecting activity did not stop;her fingers reached for his only remaining left eye again.

Facing the situation, William was prepared for the erasure of both eyes, having seen Teacher Zedes way of life, he was not afraid of being deprived of sight.

As the cold fingers touched the surface of his left eye,

"Breath Synchronization."

William could clearly feel that in a different space, someone was breathing in sync with him.

Suddenly, a large amount of purple gas flowed out from behind William, corroding the space to form an opening,

instantly growing many air tubes that coiled around the body and forcibly pulled him out just before the left eye was stripped.

Buzz!

Back at the normal park lakeside,

Yi Chen and the elder were here, and the time was noon.

"Boss! Your eye!" Nash, who was tied to Yi Chen, immediately showed red eyes out of urgency.

Intervening, the elder who had rescued William commented, "To have been taken for so long and only lose an eye is quite fortunate. Most people are completely collected by now."

As Yi Chen toyed with a weapon, he asked indifferently:

"Hey! William, why did you go and make contact alone? With your personality, you wouldnt just let the other party take advantage without getting something in return, right? What information did you exchange with the Eye?"

"Once caught in that situation, whatever I did would result in being collected.

The other party is an entity that cannot be assessed by ordinary standards. We need to kill her quickly;otherwise, we will all be collected... Additionally, Ive planted a Fear Seed inside her body that should come into play at a critical moment.

Elder, what exactly was the space I was taken into just now?"

"Field, its a special domain created by entities like them based on narrative carriers.

Often, individuals will be brought into the field after triggering some condition, unavoidably and imperceptibly.

Some beings with highly concentrated malice have even the power to force targets into the Field, coercing the story to act upon the individual.

Once entered, a dangerous event related to the narrative carrier will inevitably occur. Youre quite remarkable for only losing an eye. Most who enter the Field certainly perish."

Obtaining the answer, William, unconcerned about the lost right eye, stroked his chin, thinking hard, "What exactly triggered the condition that led me into the Field? Clearly, I did nothing... Rather, you guys interacted more, I was just standing by the shore thinking.

Wait, thinking!

Could it be due to my brain, my overthinking? Ever since I heard about the Human Body Collector, Ive been thinking about it continuously, always considering things related to the Human Body Collector.

Exactly... Urban legends have such a profound influence, even inducing imitators, because they are passed orally, and the more people talk and think about them, the deeper the legends impact becomes.

Yi Chen, if we stop thinking about this matter, we wont be dragged into the Field. We just need to wait like this, and the opponent will likely lose patience and reveal her true body."

As William concluded, the elder by his side couldnt help but nod in approval.

It was rare to see someone who, even after having part of their body stripped away and personally experiencing a story, could remain so calm,

not only showing no fear but also quickly analyzing the condition.

Yi Chen also gave a thumbs up, "William, you really are clever... Ahh!"

Taking a deep breath, he cleared his mind and stopped thinking about the Human Body Collector, instead focusing on the coordination of weapons and the body.

William also sat cross-legged, gazing at the starry sky, allowing his thoughts to completely empty.

Since all present stopped thinking about this urban legend,

gurgle gurgle~ from the center of the clear lake, bubbles began to form, as a terrifying womans head slowly emerged, her bloodshot eyes fixating on the people on the shore,

preparing for Forced Collection.
