The Last Gentleman

Chapter 222: Commendation

Observing the filth in the isolation containment chamber, the atmosphere on the scene was truly a bit awkward.

Anyone unaware might think that Yi Chen and Barry had lost their minds, fishing out a pile of muck from the sewer and claiming it was related to a dead patient.

But Director Dis could tell at a glance that this filth was not ordinary, or rather, there was something hidden within the filth that possibly ‘connected’ the various refuse together, forming the image of the old woman they had seen before.

After shedding the bondage of the Gentleman’s Skin,

the black liquid between the pieces of filth slowly became active, transforming into viscous threads that linked the different pieces of waste, not to revert back to the old lady’s form, but to construct something else.

Gradually,

...

a cross-like structure, synonymous with linking various animal corpses, was about to take shape.

Suddenly, Director Dis dug into his own right eye, a move that immediately piqued the intense curiosity inside Yi Chen’s inner grape, but then it quickly turned to disappointment, as it seemed that it wasn’t entirely a grape.

The extracted eyeball was stained with a golden-yellow liquid and had no neural connections at the tail, forming a perfect sphere.

This eyeball, as if it were an independent entity, flew out of the Director’s palm and hovered over the containment chamber.

Pop!

With a snap of the Director’s fingers,

the eyeball immediately burst into a brilliant glow, like a miniature sun.

Ahh~

Sizzlesss~ The black liquid, upon being irradiated, emitted a terrible scream, no longer forming a cross, quickly breaking down into many different parts and hiding between pieces of filth, avoiding direct sunlight.

Differently,

when Yi Chen and the others were bathed in the sunlight, their bodies felt as though they were charged with energy, filled with power, and the iron chains infused with plant attributes even became lively under the illumination, as if undergoing a different kind of photosynthesis.

“Well done!”

Director Dis’s hand gently patted the shoulders of the two, his right eye fully restored.

Yi Chen modestly explained, “I guess I got lucky. On the way back, I saw a light in a house that was supposed to be empty, and I happened to spot the shadow of someone moving inside.

I suspect there are many similar situations in the city. We could deploy people to

“Then let’s go.”

Half an hour later,

On a street with no residential buildings and all the street lights extinguished, fog engulfed the entire street like a river. Even with a kerosene lamp in hand, visibility did not extend beyond three meters.

Barry, cloaked in heavy armor, felt some fear, constantly staying close to Yi Chen, making sure there was continuous contact between his armor and the other’s clothes.

After an indeterminate amount of time,

Yi Chen suddenly turned around and turned the kerosene lamp up to maximum brightness, thrusting it forward.

Through the mist, a majestic and sinister black gate came into view,

A stone gargoyle seated atop the gate suddenly opened its eyes, deep red pupils fixating on the two unfamiliar newcomers—crack! The rocky layer covering it began to crumble as if about to come to life.
