The Last Gentleman

Chapter 113: Heading to the Church

Deep within the Church.

The elderly Bishop awoke from his seat, and the black-robed assistant beside him also sensed something.

“I hadn’t expected the Village Chief, who was bestowed the ‘Newborn Umbilical Cord’, to be killed… He could have been one of us, a participant in the final ceremony.

Wasn’t the intruder in the village area completely dealt with, Theodore?”

The black-robed assistant, with a face full of shock, said:

“Impossible, the ‘Final Sacrifice’ has been duly arranged, imprisoned in the ceremonial area.

As for his teammate, I clearly shattered his heart, and I distinctly felt the Death Aura oozing from the corpse, which was then taken by the Village Chief to the factory for disposal.

Beyond those two, no one else has transcended the high wall.

Could it be some special Patients causing mischief in secret?”

“Impossible, the Village Chief who was granted the umbilical cord has the same strength as us. Those who hide and rely on Grayification to take shape are utterly unable to threaten him.

There’s only one possibility, the youth whose heart you ripped out is not dead. He fooled you all with some kind of feigned death tactic and then quietly eliminated the Village Chief.

If I’m not mistaken, he will be making his way here soon.”

Black-robed assistant Theodore, hearing the Bishop’s dissatisfaction, immediately knelt on one knee:

“I will now go and

[Shebolt Village]

The fight with the Village Chief had delayed him for nearly an hour and a half, and the village had completely changed,

Many residents had been freed due to the invasion of chickens, numerous wooden houses were ablaze with fire,

the meat factory was in complete disarray, and numerous pig-headed Butchers had taken to the streets, trying to clear out the incredibly speedy chickens, amidst which various stimulated villagers were also mixed in.

Disguised with a pig-head mask, Yi Chen blended in easily, walking out of the village with ease amidst the mindless villagers, arriving at the base of the hill that led to the Church.

Just as he was about to step onto the slope,

rustle rustle—a subtle movement came from the trees beside him,

Yi Chen immediately grasped the suitcase, ready to pull out an axe to eliminate the suspicious character hiding in the woods.

Before he could get a clear view, a comical voice preempted him:

“Don’t swing, cluck! It’s me… Little Pei! Cluck cluck cluck!”

Overwhelmed by Yi Chen’s killing intent, the overly anxious Little Pei ended up mixing human speech with chicken language.

As the chicken wings frantically flapped, it once again landed on Yi Chen’s shoulder.

“Cluck cluck! You really did kill the Village Chief… I don’t know why, maybe because I ate Grandma Chicken’s embryo. I suddenly feel so happy, right now I just want to crow!”

Little Pei couldn’t hold back anymore and tilted its neck back, preparing to crow,

snap!

Yi Chen quickly seized its neck with one hand, preventing this action.

If he made a loud noise at the base of the slope, it wouldn’t only draw the attention of the Patients from the village but might also alert the Church directly.

“If you don’t want to die, then hold it in! The Church’s stronghold is up there.”

“Cluck cluck! Got it, got it!”

Yi Chen then gently stroked the chicken’s comb. He did indeed feel grateful for this chicken.

“All right! Leave the rest to me~ Little Pei, take your brothers and sisters and leave this place. With your abilities, you should be able to easily slip through a tunnel leading to the outside world.”

Little Pei did not immediately respond, its chicken head seem to be contemplating something.

After a few seconds,

it hopped off the shoulder, bending its neck to bow deeply, just like a human.

“Thank you for rescuing Little Pei from the Madman at the very beginning, thank you for giving Little Pei the stuff from Grandma Chicken, thank you for killing the Village Chief (although this is Grandma Chicken’s wish, I am still very happy – muttering softly).

You will certainly become a very powerful person! Cluck cluck!”

After saying these words, the black chicken Little Pei quickly disappeared into the woods, striding away on its nimble chicken legs,

And soon afterward, the commotion in the village also began to subside as the chickens left,

and Yi Chen began his solitary climb up the mountain road toward the Church.
