Chapter 57 The Sick Gentleman

 The bandage wrapped around the nurse's face,

 The expression changes can be achieved by the amount and location of blood oozing.

The blood stains currently soaked on the surface of the bandage showed a somewhat distorted blood-red smile, seeming to be extremely happy for completing the task given by the 'master'.

The nurse uses the needle growing from the fingertip to poke the button with the number [-13] printed on it.

Snapped! The flesh bubble bursts

　　哐～哐～

With regular shaking, the elevator began to go underground.

Each floor you go down means a decrease in your chances of escape.

 Ding dong! The thirteenth underground floor has arrived.

 The moment the elevator opens,

Like a stream of white rats, a swarm of white rats immediately swarmed in and occupied the space in the elevator room. Their shiny white hair and soft flesh stuck to the leather shoes and trouser legs of the two people, making people very uncomfortable.

“Don’t worry, these are Mr. Li’s ‘pets’. As long as they are guests, they will never attack.

 Come with me, Mr. Li lives in the deepest [ward]. "

The nurse led the way with limping steps.

 The rats crowded on the ground will actively get out of the way once they sense the arrival of an object.

 The two of them followed immediately.

Edmund comes from a big family and has received professional training since he was a child. But I instinctively resisted this kind of area crawling with rats, and felt uncomfortable all over.

On the other hand, Yi Chen seemed relatively relaxed and did not feel any discomfort.

During his lifetime in the orphanage, he often stayed with mice, and even became partners with several of them, giving them corresponding names.

  After all, in such an environment, rats are more trustworthy than humans.

When Yi Chen glanced at the rats under him, he felt a sense of dissonance.

“These mice seem to be single, but in fact they have a kind of wholeness...the unity is controlled by some kind of existence, or it is originally a whole.

 These things cannot be called rats, but a dangerous group associated with [disease]. 』

Thirteen floors underground,

This is not a straight path,

Rather, it is a complex underground palace with many twists and turns and a large number of forks. It can even be compared to a large rat's nest.

Mr. Li, who creates the same space and manages the "inner world" of the clinic, is more like hiding in the deepest part of the underground palace.

 When he knocked on the rusty iron door with rat skin structure, a hoarse sound came from inside.

 “Have you brought them? Let them come in.”

 With the push of the rats, the iron door of the ward slowly opened.

 The so-called [Mr. Li] is not as scary or indescribable as expected. Compared with the abnormal patients in the clinic, he is more like a human being.

Under the messy silver hair, there is a face of about thirty years old, with sharp and concave cheeks.

physically abled,

 The whole person was lying on a hospital bed quite weakly.

His forehead, neck, wrists, and ankles are all connected to infusion bottles, and are taken care of by three nurses wrapped in bandages and a "hot" female doctor.

The hospital bed was specially customized for him, with a large hole in the center of the bed board.

A large number of silver-white blood vessels grew densely on his back.

Like tree roots, they penetrated through the bed hole and penetrated into the ground of the ward, as if they were connected with the ward, the underground space, or the entire clinic.

 It seems that I have been lying in the hospital bed for too long,

 The flesh on his back was almost integrated with the hospital bed. There was no gap visible and he could not turn over.

in addition,

Yi Chen's keen eyes also noticed a detail. There was a conspicuous "moon seal" on Mr. Li's neck. This was also the iconic proof of lunar infection in the record of the false moon incident.

 Can be roughly inferred.

This Mr. Li is one of the survivors of the "False Moon Incident". He hid deep underground and grew up quietly. With the help of a special "lunar disease", he created a space similar to that of a clinic.

Another point,

This is also what surprised Yi Chen and Edmund the most.

This Mr. Li is actually wearing a tattered [gentleman's clothing], still exuding the aura of "gentleman's skin".

 Before the two of them could speak,

Mr. Li turned his head and looked directly at the two of them with his silver eyes.

“The organization actually sends newcomers like you here to do things? Are they short of manpower... It seems that the guys in Zion are really on their last legs.

If my guess is correct, you should be here to recycle this thing, right? "

Mr. Li moved his fingers.

 The rats moving on the ground brought the mottled and old empty bottles to the feet of the two of them.

 The label on the bottle reads "Twilight Clinic's original research and development - Twilight Silver Liquid".

“I’m really sorry, I’ve already used this thing! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to live until now and have no way to establish direct contact with the moon.

Although you are just newcomers, you are pretty good!

 Be able to adapt to the "Moonlight Clinic" I created immediately, quickly kill an abnormal patient, and quickly escape from the main building.

 In this case, you can barely do anything for me.

 As long as you can do it, I will give you three rewards:

  1. No longer imprisoned in the moonlight clinic I created, and be free.

  2. The empty bottle of secret medicine that I used can be taken back by you to submit the task.

  3. Antidote. "

 When you hear the word antidote,

Yi Chen and Edmund have already reacted.

However,

The nurse who was standing close behind them had already inserted her finger into their necks and injected a special medicine into their bodies.

“Don’t worry, this is the [plague transforming agent] specially developed by me. It has a long incubation period. The tested period is one week. As long as the serum is injected before this time, it can be completely suppressed.

 Don’t be too nervous ~ relax! After all, everyone is considered a gentleman.

Although I have been eroded by illness, my [integrity] as a gentleman has not been lost. As long as you succeed in doing things, the above three conditions will be met. "

 Being in such a passive scene, I naturally cannot refuse.

Just when Edmund reached out to cover the injection hole on his neck, trying to contain the disease invasion in his body as much as possible.

Yi Chen took the initiative to take a step forward and came to Mr. Li's bedside, making a fairly standard gentleman's courtesy.

“William Behrens, it’s a pleasure to cooperate with Mr. Li. I wonder what you need us to do?”

Mr. Li was slightly surprised to see the young man in front of him adapt so quickly, but also showed an expression of appreciation.

“I need you to go to the real [Vinal City].

Go and kill the ‘lunar disease patients’ hiding in the ruins of the city. The target is their skin with the ‘moon mark’ on them. It is required to peel off the entire piece and ensure that it is at least 15×15cm in size.

 Collect them all and bring them to me.

 Remember, my trading partners are only the two of you, and you two will be the ones to come back. Don’t even think about bringing your teammates in with you. "

 “Are these things of any use to you?”

"This is not a question you should ask, just go and do it. Remember, the potion takes effect for [one week], don't delay too long, it may break out in advance."

"OK."

“Go back to the clinic building, go back to your original dormitory, have a good sleep, and when you wake up again you can return to the [surface].

By the way, if you work efficiently and the quantity and quality of the moon skins you bring back are good,

I can also tell you some secrets about the clinic. "
