The Last Gentleman

Chapter 775: meet

Chapter 775 Welcome

“The Pilgrims of Pain…rumors were very popular in ancient times.

At that time, the number of births in the old world that had not been blocked was very high every day, and not every sick person could qualify for normal survival.

Most of the guys who suffered from inferior illnesses or even were born with disabilities were not qualified to survive in the old world. They might even be taken away as slaves, livestock or even food as they walked.

therefore,

These hopeless patients will make some special choices. Becoming a pain pilgrim is a way that can change their lives.

There are also clear regulations in the old world. As long as you set foot on the [Pilgrim Road], you will enjoy the protection of the monastery. Anyone who dares to kill on this road will be targeted by the monks.

Similarly, those who have no intention of pilgrimage and just come here to take refuge and disturb other pilgrims will also be punished.

If the pilgrim can endure the pain and complete the road with a pious attitude, he can become a member of the monastery and obtain the qualification for "iron chain implantation".

Accepting the iron chain means acquiring a disease that is unique to the monastery, becoming a suffering monk, and completing the change of destiny.

 But now the situation has completely changed.

 Due to the blockade of birth rules, the population of the Old World no longer grows, and there are very few so-called pilgrims of pain.

 Today's monasteries are no longer as overcrowded as they used to be, and outsiders even need to be forcibly recruited. Whenever humans from neighboring worlds discover that their bodies are special, they will be captured and taken into monasteries for special training.

 The number of monks has already fallen below a critical level, and many less important incidents are no longer concerned by the monastery. "

While Nash was explaining on the side, Yi Chen had already walked on the so-called Pilgrim Avenue,

The road that looked like an ordinary road was pierced by iron nails the moment the soles of his feet landed, even piercing through the insteps of Yi Chen.

Since the lower body is just a metal prosthesis, Yi Chen naturally feels nothing.

However, the iron nail that penetrated the instep obviously failed to capture the desired 'flesh' and continued to grow, reaching the upper body and piercing Yi Chen's waist and abdomen.

 But he didn't have much change in expression, and this level of pain was not enough to see.

It should be noted that the "Acupuncture Iron Chain" is something that uniquely belongs to William and has been integrated into the disease system. Yi Chen, as the second body, does not have the properties of the iron chain, but only has a series of characteristics of the Acupuncture Iron Chain through William. learn.

However, he still has the physique to withstand pain, and Yi Chen has already developed strong tolerance in the orphanage during his lifetime.

"This so-called Pilgrim Avenue should extend from the inside of the monastery. As the soles of my feet are penetrated, the relevant information should have been read, and someone will find it soon."

Yi Chen was not anxious at all. He lowered his head and observed the pilgrims who had been dead for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but whose bodies were still well preserved.

Only then did we discover that these pilgrims were all metalized without exception, and even had a kind of villi acupuncture growing on their epidermis, which would give those who touched it a sense of acupuncture penetration, and could even implant a virus that could quickly express metal proteins. into the body of the person who touches it.

Yi Chen slowly raised his head and looked forward along the Pilgrim Avenue.

About a kilometer ahead is the 'entrance' of the monastery, which corresponds to a metal staircase with a total of 108 steps. The surrounding ground is also raised along with the stairs, and above is the gate of the Painful Monastery.

A strange door formed by countless iron chains, vaguely outlines a perfect human body with arms and legs spread out. Just looking at it will make your eyes feel stinging.

As far as the eye can see, there are no tall buildings inside the monastery. The entire monastery is wrapped in a 108-sided dark city wall.

The top is covered with a kind of black thorns, and the surface exudes a metallic luster. In addition, the outside of the monastery is also surrounded by thorn trees except for the Pilgrim Avenue.

Any prisoner with a mark of imprisonment on his body will be actively attacked by the thorn forest as long as he falls into it.

Of course, this situation rarely, if ever, occurs. Prisoners who can escape from the monastery must have great abilities, and this thorn forest alone cannot limit them.

The effect of the thorn bush is more to prevent outsiders from approaching, forcing any sick people coming to the monastery to walk on the pilgrim's road. “Boss Yi heard that before the old world was blocked, there was a no-fly [rule] within ten kilometers around the monastery, and all individuals needed to move forward slowly against the huge gravity.”

 “Well, that’s interesting.”

As expected, not long after Yi Chen was pierced by an iron nail, a strong danger signal was immediately read from the monastery... Bang! The chain-linked gate slowly disintegrated.

 A group of monks wrapped in black leather jackets came out and approached them cautiously.

 Their images are all very exaggerated, trying to present the two key points of "metal" and "pain" as much as possible.

For example, the leader peeled off the skin of his hands layer by layer and fixed them with metal wires, making the skin stretch like a six-pointed star as a bracelet.

In addition, he also wears a spiked collar around his neck. Each spike is inserted into his neck. As he breathes, the spikes will surge up and down, causing a constant tingling sensation.

 Their eyes first fell on the famous first executioner of the circus - [Nash].

However, Nash’s previous killings were all arranged by his boss, and his crime was always on the verge of ‘conviction’, as if the boss knew the rules.

 Then they turned their attention to Yi Chen, to this young man who had no expression of the disease on his body. They could only vaguely smell the breath of the death epidemic.

 “Why did you come to the monastery?”

 “The thing returns to its original owner.”

Yi Chen directly took out the identity card that was suspected to be the 'Great Prison Monk'. The leader's whole body trembled, and there were even multiple chains growing out of his back. He rushed over as quickly as possible to confirm the authenticity of the metal card.

“What a great prison monk, Lysa Herald’s identity card! Where did you get it from?”

"I bought it from the Duke at a high price. I want to use it as a stepping stone to go to the monastery and experience it."

The way Yi Chen spoke was so straightforward that Nash even twitched when he heard it! Want to explain something.

Unexpectedly, the monk opposite opened his arms and made a special gesture of thanks, "The identity card of the great prison monk is extremely important to our monastery. It records painful experiences and is an irreplaceable treasure.

 Since you have returned such a precious thing to us, you are naturally qualified to go to the monastery as a distinguished guest. "

"Can he go in with me?" Yi Chen pointed to Nash beside him.

“It is not allowed according to the rules, because you are the only one who returns the ID card. Unless this person has a very special binding relationship with you, you can consider applying for the visit qualification for him.”

“My body wants the support of Nash in special situations, the current equipment is only for daily operations.”

The monk carefully felt the bodies of Yi Chen and Nash, and the iron chains behind them also buzzed, seeming to feel the important connection between the two.

“Please come with us! Although you two are distinguished guests, as a special institution, the monastery has the highest security requirements among all regions in the old world.

 We will conduct a comprehensive physical examination on you after entering the door, please be sure to cooperate with us. "

Stepping up the stairs, more and more iron nails appear on the body surface.

Neither Yi Chen nor Nash changed their expressions. The latter even squeezed the nails out of his body with his super physical regeneration, which surprised the monks who led the way.

Arriving at the gate made of iron chains, Yi Chen accidentally captured some text messages hidden in it.

There is no good or evil, there is no good or evil, there is only the flesh (There is no Goodor Evil, Theresonly Flesh)≯
