The final gentleman

The memory palace shared by Yi Chen and William-[Library]

No one is sitting here, and the empty library is no longer as clean as before, but filled with silvery sea water, and there are even ghosts and alien bodies floating in the dark corners.

Some of the books placed at the bottom have been soaked, and stick insect-like appendages have grown from the inside of the books, sliding on the water. The covers of the books even reflect distorted human faces.

but,

The seawater has only penetrated into the library and has not yet discovered the secret door hidden behind the last bookshelf.

Across the secret door and secret passage, the deepest part of the memory palace, the [Aquarium] used to bury deep memories... was also the area that once blocked Yi Chen's consciousness, but now the roles have been reversed.

William imprisoned himself in the deepest part of the aquarium, even locking himself in a treasure chest and burying himself underwater to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.

Also inside the treasure chest is a parasite.

"Boss, do you really need to hide like this?" Don't you need to worry about Mr. Yi's situation? He prefers physical killing and may not be suitable for handling moonlight illusions. What if something goes wrong with him. 』

William, who was curled up in the treasure chest, did not respond. He just put his index finger between his lips to signal Nash not to speak, not even to transmit consciousness. All he needed to do was wait.

…

An unnamed island surrounded by a silver sea.

Yi Chen has been here for an hour, but his own concept of time has long been blurred.

What he saw was not only lush trees and overgrown weeds,

Railway tracks even slowly appeared among the weeds, as well as a section of tram covered with vines and corpses in the wilderness.

Or a lighthouse towering into the sky without power supply that accidentally appeared in a forest glade,

Or a deserted village suddenly pops into view, inhabited by moon-headed dummies.

Or see a group of young people singing and dancing loudly around a campfire, pulling off the moon heads from each other, revealing their true form as monsters under the light and shadow of the campfire, not attacking Yi Chen but engaging in incomprehensible weird intercourse with each other.

All sorts of chaotic scenes could appear behind the next tree,

It’s bizarre, yet it feels reasonable.

Along the way, Yi Chen was engaged in the killing he was best at, and his body also changed as he killed monsters. He had picked off his own bones, gouged out the organs in his body, or removed most of his body more than once. Cut them all off.

But Yi Chen was Yi Chen, and he would never ask for help, let alone ask William to help in a low voice.

He will find out the secret of the island and solve the problem according to his own ideas.

But... chaos is still giving birth to chaos, and the concentration of chaos has gradually reached a level that even Yi Chen cannot control.

I don’t know how long it has been,

After Yi Chen passed through a section of woods, he came to an abandoned town and did not see any monsters for the time being.

From the moment he came to the small town, Yi Chen felt uncomfortable at the physical level.

The clothes became a little tight and breathable, especially the squeezing feeling at the neck was very clear, and even untying the tie was uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, there was an abandoned clothing store next to him.

When Yi Chen stepped into the store, he found that the dummies inside were all looking at him, or coveting his clothes.

When he found a dress mirror, the picture projected inside made Yi Chen stunned for a moment! The collar of the costume actually turned into fingers, strangling his neck tightly.

He suddenly pulled off the gentleman's clothes and killed him in the air.

The decapitated costume fell to the ground and twitched like a living thing, with silver liquid flowing out of the lining of the costume.

Unexpectedly, even the gentleman's clothes controlled by Huang Pi turned into 'fake'. Yi Chen himself didn't know when the clothes were replaced. It seemed that he was touched by a dummy in a certain village. When my clothes were scratched by a branch.

Turn around,

When he looked at himself naked in the mirror again, a voice came from his mind.

"Yi Chen, let me do it instead!" This kind of island shrouded in moonlight and blurring the boundaries of reality is not suitable for you. It was my error in judgment. I'm really sorry... Let me take control of the body next. If Lorian appears directly because of this, I will do it. conversation.

There is no need to hold on any longer, you will only sink deeper and deeper, and even be assimilated into the chaos. 』

"At this time, are you suddenly going to replace me again?" 』Yi Chen was obviously unhappy.

"I said, you are not suitable here... After all, when we were on the ship, we never imagined that this place would be so troublesome. Get out of here, Yi Chen." 』

"William, I suggest you get a dog. This type of dog is relatively docile and obedient. Whatever you say will be yours." 』

Yi Chen forcibly cut off the connection with William's consciousness, even blocked some functions of the epileptic brain, picked up the hand ax, and prepared to continue exploring the island shirtless.

Unexpectedly, something weird happened, and William's voice continued to come out of his apparently blocked brain.

"Hahaha! You're on to the point, Yi Chen!

Aren't you just a dog? What the orphanage cultivates is a group of obedient dogs, and you are just the best one.

Because he couldn't stay in that world any longer, he came here to be my dog.

Since you are a dog, be honest and do whatever you are told~ You can’t even distinguish between reality and illusion, why are you still insisting on me here? You trash thing, get out of here. 』

After a sentence full of ridicule, his body began to split.

The 'second body' and 'main body' embedded in the back were torn from front to back, and the abyss mask also faded away.

The subject is William, strong, perfect and confident,

The second body is where Yi Chen's consciousness is stored. He is thin, deformed and does not even have a mouth. He has been curled up on his back for a long time and his body is stooped.

"Look at how you look, Yi Chen! You're extremely ugly, and you look like a loser... Since you're so useless, I'll kill you right here!

As for the deep memories you have sealed away, I will slowly pry into them after you die. "

As soon as he finished speaking,

William directly took out his firearm. Bartosz fired an armor-piercing bullet into Yi Chen's head.

but,

Yi Chen, who seemed to be underdeveloped, materialized his murderous intention and constructed a set of pure black exoskeleton armor for himself, with normal mobility.

At the same time, Yi Chen reached out and made a move. The spine ax worn on William's waist was held in his hand and cut the bullet in half directly in the air.

William's face was startled, he hurriedly opened the distance and fired several more shots.

Ding ding ding!

Every bullet was accurately cut off,

Yi Chen, who transformed into a murderer, used the same footwork to instantly approach William.

Take action instantly,

Five dry fingers sprang out like black snakes, clasped William's face, pressed him against the wall, and even slowly lifted him up.

Even so, William still kept smiling.

"Oh! You are indeed the best dog in the orphanage. Director Cao will be very happy to see that you are so good at killing people, right?"

After William gave seriously hurtful words through his epilepsy brain, he threw a whip leg at Yi Chen's head in an attempt to get out of trouble.

But...the ax is faster,

In other words, William was already put on the guillotine when his face was held down.

Uh-huh!

【Beheading】

William's head slowly slid down his neck. The invasion of death completely destroyed his epileptic brain, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

But... the strange thing is...

When William's head fell, Yi Chen's vision also fell, and the two fell heavily to the ground almost parallel to each other.

The concept of [death] was implanted, and his vision was gradually occupied by black. Yi Chen could not understand why he was going to die too. It was obviously William who should die.

The final scene is fixed in the mirror of the costume, and everything returns to calm.

a few minutes later

The two wooden mannequins in the clothing store began to shake and finally came to life.

They came to the mirror, one person was responsible for carrying the body, the other was responsible for picking up the head, and took the self-decapitated outsider to the depths of the island...
