Chapter 534 Rejection

 A rat’s nest basement full of chains and covered with skin.

Three hours have passed. Different from the skin that was processed in the Duke Chamber of Commerce for the open source skin slave-[Pin Nang Ke],

This apostle skin from Gatekeeper Pym gives William a completely different feeling.

The black liquid that filled the magic box was consumed in less than an hour, but the apostle's skin only showed slight color changes. Now William has been injected with black liquid four times in a row, and his whole body is already a little weak.

The apostle's skin that was kept in the box by him was only superficially blackened.

“I seem to think of the problem too simply. If I want to change the nature of the apostle’s skin, it is no less difficult than confronting the skin apostle... Even if I drain myself completely tonight, I’m afraid it will be difficult to achieve.

  Instead of direct skin fusion, repairing the yellow skin is the most important. "

Just when William was about to interrupt the transformation process, a deep voice sounded in his mind:

"Hello! Do you want to think about things so exaggerated? This gift from the gatekeeper is only a part of his skin, and it is not a complete skin cover. The difficulty is not less than that of fighting against the skin apostle. You will really make excuses for your incompetence. It’s becoming more and more useless ~ William. 』

However, William did not have any emotional changes because of such words, but instead followed these words:

　　　『Yes~ I am indeed 'useless' in scheduling death. How about you, Yi Chen, give it a try? If you could make black dead skin, I would really admire you.

 If you can't do that, try to talk less big words in the future. 』

　　　　Ah~hahaha! William, have you learned how to use language to provoke me? You are getting cuter and cuter... Considering that you may seek death later, I will help you.

 If we want to deal with this kind of skin that is above us, just using conventional methods will definitely not work.

 Get out of the way, I'll give you some hard work...』

"please. 』

 Communication between minds ends.

 In reality, William began to tilt his head upward, exceeding 90° but still had no intention of stopping, until his cervical vertebrae were broken and reached a complete tilt angle of 180°.

The moment you open your eyes, the dark breath of death spreads around like a wave,

 Fortunately, multiple layers of seals were installed in the basement in advance, otherwise such a breath would be enough to cause Mr. and Mrs. Keith and even all the mice within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area to age and die.

The hidden umbilical cord tied around the neck increases the strength to limit the impact of this strong death on the torso of the perfectly born person, and maintains the balance of life and death as much as possible.

“Ah...it’s so comfortable~ William, you really know how to choose a place. This kind of small and rat-smelling basement really makes me miss it~

I miss living happily with the mice in the little dark room of the orphanage. If I was really hungry, I would let them draw a lottery and choose a dedicated person for me to eat.

The whole lottery process is quite interesting. Some timid mice will even run away and play a game of cat and mouse~ But I will always win in the end.

 It’s all thanks to them that I can support my boring little dark room life.

 Okay, I accidentally started to reminisce about the good past again~ Let’s start working.

 Speaking of which, William, your thinking is too limited. Why do you have to use the "container" provided by others? The abyss property of this magic box can dilute and affect the effect of black liquid.

 Isn’t our body the best container? "

After speaking, switch to the dead person makeup.

 While making sure that he would not die, Yi Chen directly took out the black hand ax of the Knights Order and cut his head in a circular shape.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　哐丁　~The skull, emitting black smoke, fell to the ground.

However, it was not over yet. Yi Chen continued to attack the epileptic brain with the axe, and used the ax blade to carve out a hole in the center of the epileptic brain.

When everything was ready, he took out the "Apostle's Skin" soaked in the magic box, folded it roughly like a newspaper, and then forced it into the hole he had dug out in the brain.

 After it is completely inserted, collect the brain tissue scattered on the ground and seal the hole.

 Finally, cover the skull to complete the seal.

 Hou~ exhale with a breath of black breath

Yi Chen's pupils shrank into a small black dot and he spread his arms.

The whole person was in the state of a cross and was slowly suspended, as if there was a "halo of the dead" emerging above the head, and the whole brain was heating up.

Wisps of dark steam gush out from between the scalp, and you can even hear the boiling sound coming from inside the skull.

  【High-temperature stew】

Yichen's eyeballs melted directly during this process, and a sticky substance flowed out of his ears and nostrils. It smelled like cooked brains.

This process is like a master chef from a certain coastal city in China making soup. He uses a double-layered high-pressure casserole, and the main material used to make the soup is an aged pig skin.

If you want to stew it until it becomes tender, you must increase the firepower and increase the internal pressure.

In the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Keith, who were sleeping in the room, felt a little hot for no reason and could not fall asleep as they tossed and turned.

　　I don’t know how much time has passed.

When William returned to consciousness, the entire basement was filled with the smell of pig rind soup, and his own brain was buzzing.

However, the 8×13cm apostle’s skin in front of us has been ‘painted’. The dark luster spreads over the entire skin, without any flaws, and the surface is still emitting steam as if it has just been taken out of the pot.

“Yi Chen, it has to be you.”

　　But there was no response to William's praise. Yi Chen fell asleep in the aquarium because he was too tired.

 Then comes the final step,

As William put this perfectly transformed apostle skin close to his clothes, yellow silk threads couldn't wait to wrap it around and inhale it.

The clothes that were damaged by the Abyss Rat Tail were repaired in a short time, and at the same time, pure black ripples like the ocean swayed all over the body.

 Wherever the ripples reach, the clothing tightens and fits William's body perfectly.

William can even taste part of the experience of the gatekeeper Pym and feel his method of 'exercising the skin'... An indescribable sense of perfect skin flows throughout his body, and William even has the confidence to resist the rat tail piercing of the abyss.

However,

Just when William was immersed in the process of combining the apostle's skin with clothing and trying to tie the first suit button,

Papapa ~ The body explosion occurs in multiple places in the body, and the blood flowing out is absorbed by the clothing, which is just a nutritious breakfast for yellow skin.

 The fundamental reason for the explosion was that the load of wearing the apostle's skin was too large, which should have been something that only those who completed the path could control.

However, William used his "perfectly born body" to resist the load and pressure brought by the skin and continued to wear it.

 When all three buttons of the suit were fastened, blood had soaked all over his body.

 Huang Pi, who had just recovered, was also completely full during this process, fully recovered, and expressed his gratitude to William between his retinas.

“Huh…it’s so cool~ This way, we can officially start the investigation of Rat City, and even go to the tower for a walk if we have the chance.”

When William opened his eyes again and was about to conduct a visual inspection of the brand new clothes, the sight in front of him suddenly froze him.

 A [door] appeared in front of him,

　　A door that should not appear in the basement, and such a dirty and cramped basement is not worthy of such a door.

The shape of this door is very similar to the "Sewing Door" in the leather factory. It is made of thick leather and sewn with an air-dried vascular thread.

“Is this... related to the skin path? Is it because I accepted the Skin Apostle’s skin as an open source?”

When William looked at the door, the silk thread on the leather door automatically untied, and the door body made a fleshy squeezing sound and opened automatically.

Can't wait to show William, a young man, a deep passage made of whole leather that leads to the center of the old world, where the disease originated.

The evolutionary instinct of living things urges William to get closer to the past,

 The Huangpi in the body is also silently advancing this process. After all, the goal that Huangpi wants to achieve is to control the tannery. If William chooses a path related to the skin, it will be more conducive to this process.

Just when William was approaching the open suture door and was about to step in.

Buzz!

 He suddenly pulled his right leg back, and then slapped himself in the face...pop! The hurricane formed by the slap roared in the basement, blowing the iron chains and slamming against the wall.

 William's entire head was turned 360°, automatically cutting into a dead man's makeup.

Hook your index finger in the air and slowly turn your head counterclockwise back to its original position.

"No...I've come to this point, I can't compromise at will! I'm really sorry, take the initiative to welcome my skin disease. I will cherish the skin disease, but I have to choose the path I want to take."

William bowed deeply toward the Suture Door. When he raised his head, the door had disappeared.

If this scene is seen by others, the story of William's rejection of the path will inevitably spread throughout the old world... This kind of thing is too rare. The path brings about the attraction of biological instincts. Only extremely strong willpower can overcome the biological nature. Only individuals can refuse the invitation of the pathway.
