The Last Gentleman

Chapter 278: Insight

After the discussion in the bathroom, Yi Chen ultimately decided not to involve “Yellow Skin” in the Nightmare Exploration and just let it rest well in the gentleman’s clothes room.

There were two reasons,

1. Yellow Skin was an important medium for Yi Chen in future negotiations with the Skin Market. If it were forced to express its trait during the nightmare exploration and its existence discovered by the re

As the words fell,

Pop! Jin’s eyeballs burst out, with a massive number of ink-like tentacles squeezing out from the eye sockets, entwining towards Yi Chen.

However, Yi Chen showed not the slightest fear, or rather he didn’t even see the tentacles;in his eyes, he only focused on and retained one thing—’lines’.

Lines crisscrossing at different positions on ‘Jin’s body, with the starting point of one such line incidentally located at the point of piercing through the abdomen.

Death Slaughter!

The hand that penetrated the abdomen turned into the shape of a hand blade, covered and sculpted with black liquid, transforming the hand into a black blade… following the line clearly observed to slash open the abdomen.

Swish!

The perfect slaughter brought forth an exaggerated amount of bleeding, it even felt like a rain of blood had started within the confines of the bathroom.

‘Jin,’ torn completely in half, scattered across different locations in the changing room, and the corrupted flesh aged rapidly.

In the end… Pop! It exploded into a series of withered and broken tentacle fragments, completely dead.

The blood that stained Yi Chen’s body also quickly sublimated, turning into wisps of ink-colored smoke and dissipating.

Yi Chen raised his arms, adopting a posture as if basking in the sensation.

Just as Prophet Yuri had said, the perfect slaughter he had just executed brought him an indescribable sense of exhilaration that ordinary killings could never match.

“Phew! That was way too thrilling, no wonder Prophet Yuri is so addicted to slaughter~ I still need to restrain myself, my current situation requires rational analysis.

So I’ve already entered the nightmare, huh? This outfit is indeed very useful, simulating the nightmare very realistically, yet my thought process remains quite clear, and any slight inconsistency allows me to realize that I’m ‘in a dream’.

Disguising as Jin from the start? Although the mannerisms were very similar, the act of taking off the mask was rather crude.”

In Yi Chen’s knowledge of Jin, the mask was something very important to her, even if she took off every other piece of clothing, the mask would still remain on, perhaps this had something to do with Jin’s past experiences.

The act of removing the mask immediately created a strong sense of dissonance for Yi Chen and also made him realize that he was trapped within a dream.

Gazing at the shattered tentacles on the floor, the boulder hanging in Yi Chen’s heart also settled down.

Beforehand, Yi Chen was not clear whether he could inflict substantial damage on ‘nightmare substances’ in the dream or whether he could slay enemies that emerge from nightmares,

But it appears that with the aid of the dream entry clothing, it was possible to do so, and even to perfectly connect his abilities and skills from reality.

With this, the ‘Nightmare Exploration’ project could be fully launched, possibly even getting to the root of the nightmare and eliminating it before the outbreak of disaster.

…

Inside the control room.

Based on the high-frequency neural oscillations shown on the panel, as well as the strong electromagnetic interference, it was clear that the three of them were under the assault of a nightmare.

Yi Chen and Reagan quickly stabilized after a brief period of instability, indicating that they had recognized the dream and eliminated the threat in front of them.

Only Jin’s mental oscillations remained high.

[Within the Dream]

Jin was entwined with the ‘proactive’ Yi Chen in the bathroom,

The situation was similar,

As Jin returned to the changing room, Yi Chen followed her in on the pretext of a private matter and naturally steered the conversation towards ‘physical communication’.

Yi Chen even hugged her waist and forced Jin into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and let the hot water stimulate their bodies.

After a bout of hot kissing,

Yi Chen took off his clothes completely, revealing an almost perfect body.

However, the Jin in front of him was slow to strip off her clothing, with the mask only lifted to reveal her lips.

“Jin, shall I help you undress?”

Even without waiting for Jin’s consent, Yi Chen reached behind and pulled the zipper on the clothing.

But the spine under the zipper was quite peculiar, even having a part resembling the face of an infant.

Suddenly,

Jin reached behind her back and drew a swollen blood sword from between her vertebrae! With a swiftness of lightning, she cut the Yi Chen in front of her in half.

The nightmare tentacles that had not had the chance to multiply and grow erupted with malignant tumors and exploded, dying.

“Really now, so impatient… William wouldn’t act like this~”

From the very beginning, Jin had felt the inconsistency and had already recognized the problem with the dream, but she deliberately did not expose it, wanting to see just how bad the other’s poor imitation was.
