Chapter 124 Concealment

 “Take off your shirt.”

Facing the request of the senior instructor, Yi Chen had no choice but to comply.

 Unbuttoning the last button and taking off his shirt, a body that was different from ordinary people was revealed, and the scars filled with new flesh on the chest were also quite obvious.

Snapped!

Bailey suddenly pulled out a slender pointer and slapped Yi Chen directly on the side.

This kind of beating would make most people writhe in pain, but Yi Chen's expression was a little strange.

  The external oblique muscles that were hit by the pointer showed a slightly sunken shape, and then returned to their original shape as if they were slowly inflated.

 Papapapa~

 Then he whipped many parts of Yi Chen's body, and similar symptoms appeared. Even some areas that should not have muscles were filled with small muscle-like groups.

 After the whipping, he used the pointer to scrape Yi Chen's side abdominal muscles.

“I can’t teach you, and the reason is very simple! The shape of your body has gone beyond the ordinary. Look at the muscle distribution and adaptive conditioned reflexes, it’s really outrageous.

 The so-called body skills are also based on my understanding of the physical body.

And these understandings of mine are not suitable for you... Go back to Zed, he is the only one in this city who can teach you about the physical level.

 Furthermore, in my opinion, you don’t need to pay too much attention to your body. The effect may be better if you use the time of studying Shenfa to further understand the body. "

"knew."

While Yi Chen was getting dressed again, Bailey rummaged around in the drawer and took out a small item.

“Hey~ I don’t like to owe others things. Just take this and come to me if you have any questions in the future.”

A special card with an olive tree printed on the back was thrown to Yi Chen, which was an unconditional pass to Gethsemane.

With this card, Yi Chen can enjoy the same permissions as ordinary students, and can even participate in the training and actual combat here.

“Speaking of which, what do you think of [gold]?”

Facing the questions raised by instructor Bailey, Yi Chen did not think about it for too long.

“The extreme or even uncontrollable character should be a character flaw brought about by her early life and cannot be repaired.

  But we can try to turn this defect into a ‘key key’ to cooperating with her, and at the same time, it can also serve as a ‘special pillar’ for her to live in this world. "

Bailey seemed to be satisfied with the answer. She pushed Yi Chen's chin up slightly with her toes through her fishnet stockings.

“It seems that you already know her better, so you can deepen your cooperation in the future.”

Yichen did not object to Instructor Bailey's bad habit of using his feet. He maintained this state of contact and thought of a topic.

"By the way, Jin's [Coordination] has reached its limit. You should arrange for her to search for relics and break through the limit, right?"

"Yes, she should be performing tasks related to the relics within half a year. If you are interested, you can join us."

"good.

 In addition, I mentioned you to Mr. Zed before going on the mission, and he still remembered it. Do you need my help to make an appointment for Instructor Bailey to come to the academy? "

Hearing this, Bailey retracted her legs and her face changed slightly.

"No, I can see him anytime if I want to. That's all for today. You can come over anytime you have time. You can also participate in some of our daily training here."

 “Okay, goodbye instructor!”

Just when Yi Chen turned around and left, almost approaching the secret door of the office,

 A soft feeling suddenly touched my back,

It is obvious that what the body feels is a soft and squeezing feeling due to the fleshy texture.

 But the feeling on the soul level is that a sharp knife is pressed against the back, and part of the blade has even penetrated into the body.

Instructor Bailey's voice also came, but the voice was unusually cold and even unfamiliar.

“One last thing~ There should be nothing to hide from me in the investigation process you described, right?”

While asking this question, instructor Bailey behind her moved her body down and put her ear under the left shoulder blade, which is exactly where the heart is, and deliberately listened to Yi Chen's heartbeat.

 A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead,

Yi Chen calmed down: "What I stated are all facts... If Instructor Bailey has any doubts, you can check with Jin."

 There was silence in the office.

Bailey didn't respond, just listened to his heartbeat quietly.

I don’t know how long it took, but the feeling of touch on my back finally disappeared.

When Yi Chen, who was sweating profusely, turned around, he only saw instructor Bailey smiling and putting Chicken Granny's fingers into her showcase, as if nothing had happened.

  No longer staying, he immediately met Jin outside the door and left [Gethsemane] together.

When Yi Chen crossed the arch bridge and returned to the street area, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and covered his beating heart with his palms.

 Inside the heart,

The plant roots that forcibly stabilized the heart rhythm slowly retracted as they spread through the blood vessels to the inner wall of the heart. If it weren't for the plant's control of the heartbeat, Instructor Bailey would have seen through the lie just now.

Jin on the side was only thinking about the swollen bag on her shoulder and did not express any doubt about Yi Chen's abnormality.

“Hurry up, if we don’t go back to process it, this meat will stink.”

"Jin... my temporary heart seems to be a little weak, and I need to go to the hospital quickly. How about you go back first and come to you after I have taken care of the injury."

 “Remember to come.”

 Jin shrugged. She was now more interested in new weapons than Yi Chen and quickly disappeared into the streets.

Yi Chen also slowly stood up, covered in cold sweat.

He did not go directly to [O'Falostik College], but made an appointment with Professor Chamberson through a roadside public phone.

 The content of the conversation was very simple. Chamberson could tell that Yi Chen had some shady matters that needed to be discussed with him, so he only said one sentence on the phone.

“Your clothes are almost in need of maintenance. We’ll talk about other things later.”

Yi Chen hung up the phone and went straight to [Street Area-Lower Level]

Walking around Chasm-Street, which is secretive and has various "illegal" shops, we once again came to the unknown tailor shop at the corner of the street.

 When stepping onto the second floor stairs,

 The secret door of the dressing room was slightly opened, obviously for Yi Chen.

 As he stepped inside, the secret door immediately closed.

Professor Chamberson had already arrived and was chatting with the tailor Ivan in the small dressing room.

When Yi Chen arrived, Boss Ivan stepped forward with a stick and touched the clothes with one hand.

“Is it already damaged to this extent after not even being worn for a year?”

"I'm sorry...the damage during the last mission was too serious. If it weren't for Mr. Ivan's craftsmanship, I would have been unable to wear this dress."

“Bring me some “gentleman’s skin” that matches your clothes, and I’ll help mend it. "

"Um."

 Professor Chamberson stood silently in the deepest part, looking at Yi Chen who had undergone essential changes with the owl on his shoulder.

"Has your physique improved? It seems that the tasks provided by Gethsemane are very effective for you... Tell me, what can't even be discussed in the academy? You need to ask me out alone."

 After Yi Chen nodded, his heart squirmed, and something alive gradually rose up in his throat.

soon! A black umbilical cord came out of the mouth and automatically wrapped around the arm as if it was spiritual.

 The moment I saw the umbilical cord,

Both the former great tailor Ivan and the well-informed Professor Chamberson were stunned for a moment.

 “This is...a relic of the attribute of life!”

Yi Chen did not hide anything and told the details of the investigation mission, including the matter of the 'lost holy fetus' that was hidden from instructor Bailey.

 I heard that Yi Chen chose to help the patient complete the open source and obtained the relic.

Mr. Ivan first smiled and said, "Bai Xiao, let me tell you why you are suddenly interested in accepting students... Such students are probably rare in Zion in the past dozens or hundreds of years."

Chamberson did not respond to his old friend, but put his hand on Yi Chen’s shoulder.

“Your concealment is correct. Once the matter of assisting patients to obtain income is exposed, it will inevitably cause certain controversy.

 The value of this relic exceeds that of ordinary relics. You continue to keep it in your body and do not let others know about it.

I will intervene as much as possible when the Gentlemen’s Hall inquires and reviews your tasks in the future. "

 “Thank you, professor.”

 “Well done! You are worthy of being my student.”
