the last gentleman

Chapter 1082 Incident
Yi Chen had experienced this before, the feeling of being labeled as an "ingredient". The concept of the entire arm was forcibly taken away and stored away. As long as the concept of the arm still existed, it could not be reshaped in any form.

This kind of conceptual plunder is more terrifying than conceptual destruction, and is a unique ability of NO.2.

In this situation, if the other party raised this question, Yi Chen's answer would be labeled again if it was vague or mixed with lies.

Beings of the other party's level are fully capable of searching for answers from their memories.

If you want to get out of this unscathed, you can only tell the truth.

"This is not a secret, nor is it my ability... but the ability of a friend of mine."

Yi Chen briefly told the story about the sheep girl.
No.2, who was sitting opposite, was also listening with great interest. "I wonder if Miss Lainie, who is also from the Tenth Disaster Room, has arrived?"

"No, she stayed in the [City of Evil] with the crew."

"What a pity. It's rare to encounter something that piques my interest... Her palace might be the top-notch ingredient I've been looking for.

So maybe I need to change my actions a little bit.”

"Shouldn't you aim for annihilation as your ultimate goal?"

Although Yi Chen was afraid of the ability of the person in front of him, he put the matter of the disease at the forefront. But if this person regarded Lai Ni as a target, Yi Chen might make a more impulsive decision.

The blond man in a suit answered Yi Chen's question with a kind smile, "Of course, the existence of malice is to promote the arrival of annihilation.

But before annihilation comes, my personal desires have not yet been fulfilled, and I am personally unwilling to let it dissipate like this.

And judging from the current situation, even if I don’t need to contribute much, Reuben will bring about the annihilation ending... All I need to do is find the best ingredients during the great annihilation.

I originally planned to enjoy the food of the gods who were crowned as the Supreme, but now it seems that I need to add one more thing to the menu."

The other party has made his attitude clear. If it were in the past, Yi Chen might have directly started a war with the man in front of him, but as he is at the center of the battle, he must consider the overall situation.

He began to imitate William's style, looking for opportunities between conversations.

"What Reuben wants to achieve in the end is not the annihilation ending.
After the annihilation ends, he will use his higher power to create a world that can completely erase the boundaries between reality and illusion, and become the sole master.

Maybe things will get worse for you.”

These words made NO.2 stunned for a moment but his expression did not change much. He slowly stood up and took off his brown suit jacket, folded it and put it on his seat.

He walked steadily around to the other end of the dining table, rolled up his sleeves one by one with his fingers and fastened them at his elbows with the clips he carried with him.

Standing behind Yi Chen, the two hands were clearly supporting the back of the chair, but Yi Chen felt as if they were pressing on his shoulders. He couldn't breathe, and even felt as if countless tongues were licking his whole body.

"Your 'speaking skills' are not proficient enough, not as proficient as William who looks similar to you. I can tell that such words are not your true intention, and you seem to be compromising with something.

Trying to change the subject by talking about the conflict between me and Reuben because I threatened your friend's safety is too low-level.

In this world, the strong prevail and the weak will only become food on the plate.

And I, from Reuben's perspective, am also a weak person. Otherwise, I would not have been the one to leave the City of Evil.

If he has the ability to go against the root cause of the Great Annihilation and has the ability to create a new world, then I would still be happy to witness it all.

I'm not as rigid as the manager, I just don't like living with low-class, vulgar people.

Also, there is one thing I haven't told you.

I am a food geek and I absolutely forbid anything labeled as 'ingredients' to end up in any place that doesn't belong in my stomach.

Your name is also on the menu of Great Annihilation, and you should feel honored. After all, there are only a handful of individuals who can be chosen by me as the final ingredients.

I hope your quality is not too low than expected. I am even willing to give you a chance to improve the quality. Eat NO.7 within minutes."

An hourglass taken out from somewhere was placed on the table, as if symbolizing the countdown of life.

Yi Chen's face also turned completely gloomy and he lowered his head, "Oh? It seems that since we set foot here, we have been regarded as [ingredients] by you. All the conversations are just exchanges between high-ranking officials and low-ranking officials, just simple emotional comfort.

Even the food prepared for us is used to cleanse the digestive tract.”

“Very smart, indeed… I had long guessed that Reuben would arrange for someone to come over and kill Malice in exchange for Xiaoye giving me the entire shelter.

I thought only No.7 would come, but I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected gain.”

Huh...Yi Chen took a deep breath.

Tick-tock~ A very light sound of water drops came from under the table.
The floor under Yi Chen's feet had been completely eroded by the black water during the meal, and had even penetrated very deep.

The completely tense calf muscles exert force at this moment, pressing hard against the ground!
Boom! The church-structured cafeteria shook violently, the entire ground completely cracked, and the three people fell down at the same time.

Yi Chen, who was originally a concept, turned into black water as the ground shattered. He immediately wrapped up the body of the blind old man and accelerated his fall, trying to create some distance between himself and NO.2.

Simultaneously,

A special dumpling wrapped in black water was quickly sent to the old man's mouth. The frontal lobe that he had just eaten began to regenerate immediately, and the skull was formed synchronously.

……

【City of Evil】

After Yi Chen and the old man were sent to the seventh heaven,
The action has come to the "third step".

In the ancient mansion of the First Disaster, William was stamping his feet anxiously waiting, and as the 'fake Reuben' returned, he immediately stuck to him.

"Boss, what took so long? And I don't seem to sense Mr. Yi's presence. Are they not back yet? Is something wrong?
How about we pick them up first and then go to the lesion?"

Reuben directly rejected William's proposal, "No need."

He seemed to have guessed that the task of notifying NO.2 would go wrong, and he didn't care at all about the two disasters who had not returned yet.

in addition,

Reuben, who trusted Yi Chen because of the amusement park incident, also discussed privately about killing the second disaster that day. It would not matter if this matter was brought forward to now.

Even if a more serious disaster or internal strife occurs, in Reuben's eyes it will not affect the progress of the great annihilation at all, nor will it affect the process of his building a new world.

The 'platform' he has reached now is above everything else. The Great Annihilation no longer requires the entire evil circle to advance, he alone can do it.

"Get ready to go to the lesion. Just follow my current incarnation."
