The final gentleman

[Above the false moon]

Deep in the temporary clinic, there is a laboratory with the highest authority.

On the corridor outside the door, there are nurses from the 'Crimson Cross' standing every meter apart. The cross structures on their faces are constantly bulging and pulsing with small particles. They are in a state of high concentration, ensuring that no one will disturb them. to the internal situation.

Even if William comes here, he cannot enter without permission.

Ten "brains in a vat" are neatly arranged in a ring shape in the laboratory.

Each one is a chaotic carrier that has been transformed by chaos and is enough to lead a group of people into a dreamland. When William and others first set foot on the Silver Sea Island, they were unknowingly affected by the brain in the vat.

Now there are ten of them working together,

Not only that, the containers that hold the brains in the vat are also different from before. In addition to the new metal frames, there are actually some more circuit boards inside, which are connected to the outside by dense metal wires.

This is the power technology brought by Reagan to upgrade the original brain in a vat, making it more stable and able to use electric current for reasonable control.

Eventually all the wires were connected to the lab's central bathtub,

A silver-haired young man was sleeping in a bathtub filled with pure silver liquid. The wires were directly inserted into the back of his head, cervical spine and back, completely integrated with the nerves.

You can already see a crescent-shaped 'horn' emerging from the hair on the young man's head.

This young horn presents a chaotic red color, containing the illusion of the silver moon, and at the same time has the chaos of chaos. Once this red moon grows and takes shape, it seems to bring infinite chaos and mania to others.

In addition, Reagan, who had just arrived, was sitting in the laboratory, carefully checking the relevant parameters of each brain in the tank to ensure that everything was normal.

This state has lasted for a whole month.

As Reagan detected a signal from Lorian's own brain, he decisively shut down all the brains in the vat through electrical signals.

Who knows! An extremely dangerous aura came from the center.

Reagan, who seemed to be slightly fat but usually lazy, had an instant change in his eyes, and stretched out one hand... The purely mechanized palm immediately produced energy pulses of a special frequency, which combined with the Neisseria species in the brain, formed an invisible line in front of him. invisible force field.

The next second.

Snapped!

The bathtub exploded,

The silver liquid filled with chaotic substances splashed over and was completely blocked by the force field.

Then in Reagan's vision,

I could vaguely see an unknown monster standing with three-pointed legs and a large number of chaotic tentacles crawling on its back.

The twisted torso seems to be twisted by countless monsters,

The most terrifying thing is undoubtedly the head with the structure of "Chaos Blood Moon".

Just one glance made Reagan become frantic, and all the machinery in his body began to creak. Some key screws even softened and twisted, and his pupils were slowly dyed red.

The next second! Snapped!

An arm as white as jade was placed on Reagan's shoulder, the chaos factor was instantly taken out of the body, and everything returned to normal! There was no blood moon monster standing in front of him, just Lorian with horns growing out of his head.

"Thank you Mr. Reagan for your technical support and one month of care. It will be my turn to support your 'ascension' next time."

"Hehe, it's not a big deal." Reagan smiled innocently. As long as he had the opportunity to study new things, his whole body would be excited.

"Wait a moment, the nurse outside seems to have something to do."

Lorian closed his eyes gently, and soon received the message from the nurse, "William seems to have something urgent. He was waiting outside the door yesterday."

When Reagan heard this, he immediately prepared to walk to the door, "It should be about the blood people. Let's go! Let's go out and talk."

Lorian stopped him with a backhand, "No hurry... let him wait for a while ~ let's talk."

Snapped! Lorian snapped his fingers on his right hand and popped out.

Illusion turned into reality, and two arc-shaped silver stools were formed behind the two people.

"What do you want to talk about Mr. Lorien?"

"Let's talk about William's state... He has given me a very bad feeling recently, like a guy dominated by greed and started to do things that violate the bottom line."

"Are you referring to William's secret cooperation with that clown?"

"This is just one thing that has become more obvious recently. Some of the small details in his life have become completely different from when I first met him and went to the old world to play the Duke's Gambit together.

Even for me now, who is between reality and reality, and who can control chaos, it's hard for me to see through whether he was suppressing his nature and pretending to be a "gentleman" when he was still young, or whether he is pretending to be a "villain" now. .

Reagan, as his teammate on the human side, what do you think? "

"Huh?" Reagan scratched his head, "I think it's okay~ After all, what William has done so far has not been detrimental to me or the organization.

If I hadn't been forced to go to the old world to look for opportunities because of William's kind invitation, I would probably still be living in a resettlement house in Zion, unable to complete my self-salvation.

In such a world, sometimes extreme means must be used to achieve a certain project, and the extreme means used by everyone are not the same... Personally, I believe in William, and I believe that he is doing it through 'perfect disguise' He couldn't let anyone know something, even he himself had to be deceived by such a disguise.

As for what it is, I can't guess.

In short, that’s it~ William is my friend, and I will support him as long as he doesn’t cross my bottom line. "

"Is this so..."

Lorian didn't say anything more, and the two of them got up and walked towards the door.

【Clinic Hall】

William, who was in a straight suit and had his hair tied up in a bun, put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the side wall, still counting silently.

"36018, 36019... Oh~ Lorian Annu finally came out, congratulations! Chaos has just formed, your body has been able to integrate with the world over there normally.

I don’t know how you will fare against the Marquis at your current level. "

"Tell me what's going on."

"The joint performance will officially start outside the door of the leather factory. I have already inquired about the internal situation of the leather factory. As long as our performance is appropriate, we will not attract any attention from the leather factory.

Therefore, we only need to deal with the stinking blood people alone.

The specific performance plan is in this document. "

When William handed over the document in his hand, Lorian did not accept it.

"Art will be involved, right?"

"Yes...even if the Blood People do not have the support of the Plague Lord, there are still quite powerful characters among the Seven Marquises, and it is difficult for me to fight against them on my own.

Art is an indispensable fighting force, and through my contact during this period, I can ensure that Art will be on the same line with us during the performance.

After all, he has strong material needs for the blood people.

And I have made an agreement with Art in private that he will put aside his personal issues with you and will not mind performing with you at all. "

Lorian's expression was still cold, "No~ I just have a cooperative relationship with William. I will support your performance but do not have to participate in it. Next, I will let the fake moon hang in the sky to provide as much illusion as possible support."

"Are you really not going to participate? Lorian, the performance will be very interesting! And as long as you take down the blood people afterwards, you will get a large number of experimental samples, even earl-level materials."

"Miss Jessica and I will stay in the clinic and control the false moon, that's it."

"It's such a pity... Otherwise it would still be very dangerous for the fake moon to hang over the leather factory, and the illusion will be of little use to the upcoming performance.

Why don't you, Lorian, go to the [monastery] and see if Mr. Yi is there? If he is really there, please bring him here quickly. "

Lorian agreed to this matter, "Okay."

William turned around and waved at the same time, "Regan, let's go."

Reagan patted Lorien's back gently with his metal arm and followed William. After all, this performance is also a fight for humanity, and Reagan will participate regardless of whether William invites him or not.

William walked out of the clinic, and the sarcoma under his silver eyepatch squirmed, seeming to be communicating with him.

William also responded to the other party through consciousness:

"I just said, if you participate, Lorian will definitely not participate. He has been affected by your [trypophobia]. He feels uncomfortable just looking at you, let alone cooperating with you.

Let's put on a good show next, Mr. Art.

correct! I have to call Catherine, hoping that she can perfectly fill Lorien's performance space. 』
