Chapter 251 Yellow Skin Contract

 Hold the curtains, turn on the kerosene lamp and place it beside the bed.

Yichen pretended to read a book and began to communicate with his clothes.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　? 』

　　　　I have no name or title. In order to distinguish me from those with inferior skin, I dyed myself yellow. You can call me "yellow skin". 』

“Huang Pi, what kind of product are you? Why can it be easily integrated into gentleman's clothing and can also perfectly avoid Zion's detection? 』

Hearing Yi Chen's question, his clothes twitched slightly, as if Huang Pi was laughing.

　　　Like the "gentleman's skin" you use to make clothes, I am just a piece of skin produced daily by the leather farm. It's just that for some reason, I have changed, and I am different from other inferior skins.

 I am above them and can naturally control them and assimilate them.

Not to mention the testing in this small city, even the quality testing at the leather farm cannot detect my existence from normal leather. 』

Yi Chen then asked:

“Why did you come to us? Since the leather field can’t detect your presence, you should be able to absorb more nutrients and grow faster there, right?”

 When I went to the old world, I accidentally heard from [Duke] that there seemed to be a large-scale riot in the leather farm, and the root cause of the riot was related to yellow leather. Was it you? 』

“I didn’t expect that you would be able to establish contact with Duke Gallison the first time you went to the old world. I really didn’t pick the wrong person.

 You are right, the leather farm is a big tank of super nutrients for me, and I was forced to leave.

I was born about five hundred years ago. Over the years, I have been pretending to be inferior skins and wandering around in the leather farms. I have strengthened myself through absorption and assimilation, trying to control the entire factory.

 But in the end, I still underestimated the power of the origin disease and was almost annihilated. Fortunately, I separated a small piece of the skin field in advance and came to you through the [channel].

With luck, you will encounter a bunch of eyeball carriers as soon as you come down the mountain, and they can use their vision to spy on you and your teammates.

 At the beginning, I was just planning to take over your body. I didn’t expect that you, a mere human being, could actually get rid of the trap I set.

Thinking about it later, I realized that skin like mine will always be an "attachment" no matter how much it grows. If it is not attached to an individual, it will never be able to fight against the disease that originated from the skin field.

I didn’t expect to find you. You are the best option when I first meet you. 』

Huang Pi's words made Yi Chen a little stunned. He didn't expect that Pi Chang, an important area in the old world, would actually cause a big fuss by this guy.

　　　　If I agree to cooperate with you, what is the specific time limit? What kind of assistance can you provide me? 』

　　　　It will be as long as the time from my birth to now [five hundred years], as long as I can complete the control of Pi Chang within this period.

 While I am a "dependant", I will provide you with assistance beyond the inferior skin.

 In addition to the previous physical suturing,

  If your skin content can still increase a little, I can also provide combat enhancements and even skin modifications, so that you can feel the real power of the skin field.

 【Youshu Leather Field】is ranked high as an epidemic source area in the old world. 』

 The deadline given by Huang Pi was very broad, far beyond Yi Chen's expectation. Moreover, yellow skin is superior to ordinary skin, and it will not be detected and can provide more auxiliary support.

Yichen would naturally not refuse such a good thing, but there were still some things that had to be asked in advance.

　　　　　If I meet the first gentleman and accept his skin, there should be no problem in being discovered, right? 』

　　　　It’s just a "transmitter", how could it be possible to discover my existence. Even if you live peacefully in this city, as long as you don't take the initiative to expose me, it's impossible to find out about my existence. 』

"All right. 』

 As Yi Chen nodded his head,

Hiss~ Yellow silk threads split out from the cuffs of the clothing and quickly woven into a piece of yellow paper.

 The other cuff grew a separate, dark yellow line with a darker color, and a full text of old-world living writing was written in one stroke.

Just like this, a yellow leather contract fell into Yi Chen's hands, and the content written on it was completely consistent with the discussion just now.

　　『This contract requires you to smear blood on the surface of every word with your subjective consent. Once it takes effect, this cortical contract will be imprinted on your soul.

 No matter you or I, as long as there is any betrayal of the other party during the cooperation, even the thoughts will be captured, and once confirmed, they will be forcibly erased from the soul level. 』

This was the first time for Yi Chen to see this kind of ancient contract, and he patted his shoulder lightly.

 A ball of black hair quickly appeared, looked at the yellow paper carefully and then gave a reply:

"No problem. From my vague memory, this kind of "contract" written in the living script of the old world seems to be very common in the old world. There are many relationships that need to be maintained through this way of signing contracts. "

"Um."

Yichen directly cut his wrist to bleed. When the blood covered every word on the yellow paper, buzz! The paper trembles.

Yellow paper is disassembled back into a line structure and becomes both virtual and solid, making it impossible to touch.

in a blink,

 All the lines penetrated into Yi Chen's navel and disappeared.

Yi Chen could vaguely feel a sense of sliding lines coming from deep inside his body. The source of the feeling was his own soul.

　　　『The contract has been signed, I will not disturb your daily life~ I will not come out unless necessary. Come on, young human. 』

 Huang Pi sank into the depths like a dive, and Yi Chen even completely lost his perception of Huang Pi. He needed to rely on a contract to feel the other party's existence.

 Only one day has passed.

The reward for the Levenholm death incident has been approved.

As the first tutor, Professor Chamberson is responsible for the distribution. The reason is very simple. Yi Chen is once again allowed to accept [skin] from the first gentleman, and Chamberson will serve as the guide as usual.

Chamberson also asked Yi Chen about his experience along the way, and he immediately understood why Yi Chen was called to the Shenpi Mansion again. Chamberson was even a little worried.

 When the two crossed the long bridge and arrived at Shenpi's official residence again.

 Several clergymen wrapped in divine skin clothing (stitched style) suddenly blocked the way of the two of them.

Their sewn lips opened and closed with equal amplitude and frequency, and they said in unison: "The First Gentleman wants to meet William Behrens alone. Please wait outside the official residence for your escort."

Such a situation made Chamberson frown, but he could not disobey the first gentleman's order, so he had to quietly insert a feather into Yi Chen's collar by tapping his shoulder.

The breeze generated by turning around and leaving sent a message to Yi Chen's ears:

“If something threatens your life, crush the feathers immediately.”

Yi Chen nodded silently and followed the clergyman to the depths of the Shenpi Mansion like an honest man.

Chamberson did not stay and wait, but returned to the academy as quickly as possible, preparing to meet up with Hogni Zed... Once something really happened to Yi Chen, only Zed would be willing and able to help. Gotta be busy.

“Yi Chen has not yet broken through the limit, and his skin content is only 20%. He was asked to meet alone so soon. Is the first gentleman’s situation so bad? Or does he have other intentions?

 In this case, you have to prepare for the worst, and I hope you won’t have to use it. "
