the last gentleman

Chapter 1071 Communication

【Mobius-Stairwell】

The top layer that William could not reach,

There is a door here that only Reuben's physical body can enter and exit. The interior corresponds to Reuben's real house, which is the projection of the concept of home on the material level.

This is a luxurious French-style house with a large oil painting of the whole family hanging at the entrance.
A handsome blond boy, a sister in a tight red dress, and parents with their eyes gouged out.

The camera moves along the side corridor on the first floor, bypassing several intersections and coming to a children's room, which seems to be the bedroom of the blond boy in the family painting room.

However, in such a simple children's room there is a secret passage hidden behind the wardrobe, leading directly to an old and abandoned basement.

Below are a large number of animal specimens that have undergone live dissection, or to be more precise, brain dissections. The brains of different types of animals were peeled out for research and then the brain tissue was immersed in a solution that has an active preservative effect.

Even on some wooden tables, one could see various scattered brain tissues, as well as a pig brain that had not yet been recovered, with various probes inserted into it.

There is a huge blackboard hanging in the deepest part of the basement.

It is covered with chalk drawings of the human body, especially the brain, as well as text descriptions of related research.

And I could hear two voices discussing,

One of them was Reuben, and the other voice could be recognized if it were placed in the Old World. It was Lorian, the origin of the new moon.

The two were discussing topics related to [Brain], [Dreams], and [The Gap between Reality and Virtuality].

When the camera zoomed in, it was discovered that the two people were not real entities.

Reuben is a physical entity, while Lorian is just a temporary image projected by the grid.

Of course, Lorian's consciousness is real, and he seems willing to have this kind of academic discussion with Reuben.

Current research has achieved a huge breakthrough.

To be precise, it was the perfect combination of the dream technology brought by Lorian and the brain technology of Reuben.
Plus the unknown world connected to the dream,
That chaotic and disordered world that did not belong to the current universe allowed Reuben to see infinite possibilities, stimulated his curiosity, and made him eager to see the scenery outside.

Reuben even gradually comprehended a kind of "chaotic essence" from that world, and when combined with Lorian he could even display a more perfect chaotic posture.

Brand new technology, the possibility of transcendence and the chaotic outside world,
Reuben was so intoxicated by these new things that he significantly reduced his supervision of the entire evil circle, and even stopped the operation of the lighthouse.

This is why Reuben didn't want to spend too much time managing William. Since William was making trouble down there, he could just be locked up again.

In the last week, he just wanted to have an in-depth exchange with Lorian, to accept the new moon between the lesions in the most perfect state, and to achieve the transcendence he pursued and dreamed of day and night.

……

Wow~
Perhaps the control of the entire evil circle has been weakened,
It has been raining heavily in the City of Evil recently, and every raindrop contains the evil of human nature.

The woman in a long dress with black hair covering her face walked slowly in the heavy rain, her bare feet stepping on the wet ground.
Although her face was completely covered by black hair, passers-by always felt that they could see a pair of torn red lips under her black hair when they passed by her.

If someone stares at her for more than three seconds, the woman will take the initiative to stop and ask the other person: "Do you think I am beautiful?"

If the other party dares to answer, the entire head will be torn apart along the mouth.

The woman walked slowly all the way to a three-way intersection, where the main body of the hotel run by the Third Disaster was located.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang.

The woman with her face covered by black hair staggered to the counter.

The manager seemed to have seen too many guests like this before. "Any resident of the City of Evil can stay in this hotel for free. You just need to provide your relevant identity information."

The manager handed over the register.
The woman did not write on it with her hands, but with her blood-stained hair.

When the manager took it back, there was no personal information written on it, but instead a string of twisted and funny blood-stained words.

Do you miss me?
The manager tried his best to suppress his inner shock, tapping his fingers on the table as if playing the piano. The current lobby area was immediately closed off by space, or in other words, separated from the hotel room and thrown into the deep space.

"After doing such a terrible thing, you still come to me?"

The woman used her hands to peel away the hair that was blocking her face, revealing a beautiful face wearing a mask.

The voice that seeps out of the mask is also very feminine, but you can still hear a bit of William's feeling.

“Reuben has been completely obsessed with Lorian, and has been immersed in a brain field he has never touched before. Some brand new chaotic concepts, [Transcendence] has become his only goal, and the control of the entire evil circle has been greatly reduced.

During my time there, 73 serious incidents occurred on the street, with no lighthouse shining on them.

I took advantage of this gap to find an opportunity to escape. If it were the previous supervision, I would probably be locked in the depths of the high-rise building, waiting for the beginning of the great annihilation. "

The manager continued:

"My question is not about how you escaped, but how come you didn't get executed after making such a big mistake? The First Disaster is so cautious, why would it let go of a source of instability like you?"

"Ah... this~" William pulled at the mask, faintly revealing his completely torn mouth underneath, "One is because the purpose of creating the amusement park and controlling the zombies is not to oppose him, it's just 'selfish', which is not a big mistake.

Moreover, the boss has personally experienced the amusement park and knows very well that the place I built has a good nourishing effect on all evil.

The mental hospital's examination of me did not reveal any "rebellious" thoughts.

Compared to people like me who are not easy to manage, they have strong independent thoughts but are "insiders" with the same stance.

The boss is even more wary and repulsive to managers like you, the representative of the "annihilation faction" who totally disagree with him building a new world, so he made a "deal" with me.

Because my relationship with you, the manager, is the best among all the disaster areas, and I know the most about your abilities.

The boss hopes that I can completely destroy you and the entire hotel during the great annihilation, and he has signed a relevant soul contract with me.

That's why he let me off the hook for this amusement park incident, but he forbade me from having any contact with you, Mr. Yi, and others before the Great Annihilation."

"Then are you going to kill me?"

William covered the mask with one hand and gently waved the other hand in front of him. His words and actions were like those of a well-educated lady.

"No, no, no, how could that be? I got to know the manager first.

This contract is signed between Reuben and I. If either party dies, the contract will be void... Manager, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Just tell me your purpose."

“I will kill Reuben at the final stage and destroy the entire Mobius... but the process will inevitably be difficult.

I have designed a stage that can restrain and limit the boss, and sent the design drawings to the disease world, which should fully support my work.

However, even if all the existing power of the lesion is gathered together, it can only build a stage with 80% of the effect at most, or even lower.

Among the people I know, you, the manager, are the only one who has the deepest understanding and micro-control at the spatial level.

I wonder if you, the manager, can secretly go to the lesion and serve as a technical instructor in the remaining week?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"How could that be? I just want to increase the probability of killing the boss as much as possible... When everything is over, if you still insist on the idea of ​​annihilation, you can launch a sneak attack on me immediately! I definitely won't mind.

I'll leave the technical guidance to you.

If you are too busy, I may help you manage the hotel work. After all, I am also quite proficient in space~"
