Chapter 27 The First Gentleman

When Yi Chen was affected by the 'peeling' from deep inside the official residence, Chamberson deliberately stopped and waited, but did not provide any assistance.

 A few minutes passed,

 When Yi Chen recovered, he commented softly.

“It would be better if I could rely on my own will to resist [Whisper of God Skin] next time.

 Next, we still need to walk for half an hour.

 Before meeting the first gentleman,

 I have some personal questions to ask you. "

"good."

“What else did you experience in the process of eradicating the “Monitors” at the bottom of the lake? Did you see a special scene far beyond the assessment area? "

 Yi Chen had no intention of hiding anything.

 Describe in detail the experience of being mentally invaded by the giant eye and having his consciousness packed up and sent to the abyss laboratory.

 Especially the epic music that echoes in my mind,

The back and clothing that symbolize the final state of the fish,

 And the golden frame floating above our heads,

Just when Yi Chen was about to say the ancient name on the frame,

Snapped!

Chamberson, who was walking in front, turned around very quickly and covered his mouth with his hand.

“Don’t call out such ancient and originary names.

 Not only will you be severely and fundamentally affected by the disease,

It may even reveal the specific location of Zion and Shenpi’s official residence.

Since you have not fully joined the organization and it is your first offense, this matter will not be pursued.

 If you can survive in such a situation, you are indeed qualified to meet the [First Gentleman]. "

“Mr. Chamberson, what are the individual fishes in the abyss?”

“Ancient existence, related to [Origin]… is far from an existence that you can touch, and even I only know the tip of the iceberg.

 As for more information, wait until you reach a sufficient height to find it on your own.

 Don’t go too far.

 Tell me about your visit to the Seven Days Cemetery. "

"OK."

When it was learned that Yi Chen was just an external employee who had not received any training and was born as an ordinary person,

 Chamberson was also quite surprised.

 An ordinary ordinary person, with only enhanced senses, actually killed a [preliminary patient]... Such cases are almost rare in all areas under the jurisdiction of the organization.

Not to mention, Yi Chen still accepted the "disease characteristics" afterwards.

“No wonder Albert would take the initiative to recommend you ~ I believe [The First Gentleman] will also be very pleased to have such special fresh blood like you join the organization.”

 Chatting room,

 The two of them have descended a hundred meters along the spiral staircase.

Chamberson took out his unique high-level seal and unlocked the iron gate at the bottom of the ladder.

　　ga~

Since I have been walking in small spaces such as wall gaps and spiral staircases before, a sense of claustrophobia filled my brain.

 As the iron gate opens,

The sense of space is magnified dozens of times, and warm candlelight is welcomed, sweeping away the sense of claustrophobia.

but,

Yi Chen did not feel any relaxed, and was even more depressed and uneasy.

 The so-called [deep in the official residence]

It is actually a medieval church buried deep underground.

The atrium is high, the side aisles on both sides are low, and long rows of columns lead visitors to the altar.

 This is just a church built underground without any window structure.

It seems that he has no intention of accepting the divine light descending from heaven.

 Nor intending to have any form of communication with ‘above’,

 Instead of windows, there are square niches cut out in the walls, with candles placed inside.

 Create light artificially,

 Indicates some belief and determination of the organization.

 Next, comes the most bizarre ‘design’ and ‘individual’ that makes Yi Chen extremely uneasy

  【Above the altar】

Hangs a ‘human being’ whose life or death is unknown,

  The reason why he is marked in quotation marks is that although his physical structure and proportions are the same as those of humans, he is nearly six meters tall.

The messy white hair reveals a middle-aged face.

The person responsible for covering the body is an old, torn, slightly patched black suit.

  ≮Additional organizations≯

 His body also had ‘6’ extra foreign tissues sutured, only 4 of which were visible externally.

  1. An old arm mounted on the right shoulder blade,

  2. A sea-blue eye embedded in the back of the head,

 3. An ear that fits on the back of the right hand,

  4. A spinal column covered with epidermis, connected to the lumbar vertebrae, and extending out like a tail,

 The following are not visible:

  5. A piece of white skin sewn to the chest with weird tattoos,

  6. A human-faced heart, completely implanted in the right side of the chest, functions normally.

 The above six external organizations are all taken from the predecessor [First Gentleman], carrying the characteristics and will of their predecessors.

  ≮Suspension method≯

 The chains from the top of the church,

 Wrap around his limbs,

 nails into the skin of his back,

 Penetrated horizontally through the back of his neck,

 The whole person hangs on the altar in the shape of a cross.

These iron chains touching his body seemed to be given some kind of activity. The cold steel became warm, and flesh-colored skin even grew on the surface.

This is the contemporary [First Gentleman], the seventh owner of Shenpi Mansion - Alexis King Claude.

　　"This is the first gentleman..."

 When seeing this scene,

Yi Chen became confused and even nervous about the award he was about to receive.

 When he followed Bai Xiao to the steps in front of the altar,

 The first gentleman’s eyes slowly opened,

 for a time,

The skin all over Yi Chen's body began to squirm.

“Since the jury has given you a very high evaluation, then take the final step and accept my skin.”

"yes."

Only then did Yi Chen understand,

The highest level of assessment reward, "Gentleman's Skin", was actually taken directly from the owner of the Shenpi Mansion.

 Although I don’t know the purpose of [skin],

 But it will definitely be of great help to your subsequent development.

Huh... take a deep breath

Yi Chen didn’t hesitate too much,

Maintain the standard of gait and elegance of behavior as much as possible,

 Just as he stepped onto the steps,

　　哐婷哐啷~ Iron chain activity

This is the hanging first gentleman. Claude settled on the altar, bent down and stared at the short young man in front of him,

 “Get in touch with me.”

Hand out your hands at the same time,

 The palms of the hands touch each other,

At this moment,

Yichen could no longer control the 'sexual transformation' of her skin, which became completely uncontrollable and flowed like liquid.

 Similarly,

There is also an indescribable skin that flows toward itself like liquid.

 It’s like a “skin swap”.

This feeling of liquid flowing,

He couldn't help but think of a memory that should have been deleted, a black sea full of ink, and the flow of the waves would sweep away some of the things in his body.

Buzz!

During the process of "transferring skin", First Gentleman Claude actually felt a death pull from Yi Chen's body... and even slowly formed a small black vortex that actively absorbed his skin.

"die?"

 The old arm attached to Claude's back suddenly swung out! Forcibly interrupt the contact between the two.

but,

Yichen, who was immersed in a state of acceptance, had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

 When he opens his eyes again,

 I already have an extra piece of "Gentleman's Skin" with dimensions of 10cm×10cm in my hand.

 He could clearly feel that this skin was alive.

 At the same moment,

Chamberson, the white owl, who was standing under the steps, also showed a rare expression of surprise.

　　　　Such a big one? 』

He has seen some extremely outstanding newcomers who can meet the First Gentleman before, but he has never seen anyone get such a big piece of skin.

　　哐婷哐寷~the iron chain moves,

 The First Gentleman returns to suspension.

 At the same time, a black box appeared on top of the altar.

“Put away your [skin] and go through the acceptance ceremony... I’m also curious about what kind of gentleman you will be identified as.”

"yes."

Yi Chen quickly approached the altar, put the leather in his hand into the box, and held it in his arms.

 Before leaving,

 The first gentleman also added a special sentence, and this sentence was more for Bai Xiao to hear.

“Through the skin-to-skin contact just now, I found that your physique is very ordinary, and you have not experienced any basic training...you are more like an “outsider”.

 Chamberson, this young man needs to keep up with the follow-up basic training and needs to spend twice as much time as others.

 If necessary, you can apply to the hospital for long-term retreat study.

 In short, I leave this matter to you.

 Talents must be well cultivated, and we don’t have much time. "

"yes."

 The voice ends.

 The first gentleman’s chest was covered with white skin, reflecting an incomprehensible ancient pattern.

  【Space squeeze】

 In a twinkling of an eye,

Yi Chen and Chamberson have returned to the side hall of the assessment and review.

 It was as if the meeting with the [First Gentleman] just happened in a dream,

 Feel the black box in your hands and the gentleman’s skin full of vitality inside,

The excitement, joy and satisfaction of harvesting the top trophies surged wildly,

“Going to the bottom of the lake...is indeed the right choice.”
