the last gentleman

Chapter 1116 Insomnia
It has been half a year since Ruben Victoriano was completely wiped out.
As the focus of disease becomes the center of the world, a new world order has been established.

The entire universe has entered a new era and has achieved an unprecedented balance. There are no longer any special groups like [Evil] that serve as 'erasers'. It seems that 'the above' is very satisfied with the current situation.

People also call the current era

The Great Illness

All life can choose the path of 'disease' to grow, and is not subject to the compulsory constraints of personal development.

Of course, the lesion naturally became a holy place in the new era. Individuals born in the new era basically wanted to go to the lesion and step on the birthplace of the disease.

is also like this,

The lesion's screening for outsiders is quite strict, and there are multiple layers of barriers. Only those suffering from special diseases or passing the outsider assessment can be introduced.

As the most special organization among the foci, with the strongest tolerance, the most types of diseases, and controlled by humans - [Gentleman & Doctor]

It will accept about 30% of outsiders and the organization is already quite large, occupying the entire fourth continent and surrounding waters of the lesion surface world.

Not only that,

The Gentlemen's Organization also has connections with many "powerful forces" outside.
Among them, the Golden Lung God, who currently sits firmly at the top of the Five Internal Organ Gods and enjoys a very high reputation, has his Taoist temple in Zion. In addition, there is a special hotel opened in different areas of Zion, and its location changes every day.

The comprehensive strength of the organization is comparable to that of many source epidemic areas.
There are even rumors that if it weren't for the special status of the current lesion, the Gentlemen's Organization would have been designated as a new source of the epidemic area long ago.

It is also worth mentioning that
Currently, the core of the disease is completely closed. Even the plague masters who were once able to visit freely are now denied entry. Anyone who tries to enter the core of the disease will feel an inexplicable danger.

Not only was the prohibition order conveyed by the lesion itself, but there seemed to be a "dark shadow" in that dark corner. Anyone who attempted to break into the core of the lesion would be killed.

Although the lesion has been consolidating its position as the center of the universe over the past six months, no one knows what changes are taking place at its core, let alone the gestational state of its core.

There is a saying circulating in the focus and even in multiple planes:
Because the coming of the Great Plague Era is directly related to William,
Although everyone knows that William died completely during the Great Annihilation,
However, there are still some people who believe that William, the man who calculated the overall situation through his crazy brain, must still be alive. There are even many "believers" who conduct archaeological excavations around the world to try to find evidence of his survival.

However, during their archaeological excavations, they occasionally discovered that William seemed to have another side, and that this other side might have existed alone, but no one remembered it.

……

【City of Evil】

The capital of the evil circle,
Now it has sunk back to its original position, barely maintaining stability under the control of the manager, while still connecting to the entire evil circle.

If we regard the entire universe as a spinning top,
The lower part is the malicious accumulation area.

The upper part is the remaining divine area that abandoned the artificial godhood technology.

This state of balance is exactly what some gods once wanted to achieve. It is the most stable and long-lasting state of the universe.

Malicious reservations are inevitable.
As long as it is a conscious life, no matter what kind of utopian world it lives in, as long as there is interpersonal interaction, there will inevitably be dissatisfaction. Negative emotions may not be revealed, but they will inevitably settle in everyone's body.

Even if we enter the [Great Epidemic Era] and everyone can choose the epidemic route, there will still be dissatisfaction and more extreme emotions, and even unknown bad events are happening in some corners.

The evil bred in the entire universe will sink to the lower planes and give birth to related evils, and will be constrained by the circle of evil.

This is essentially a balancing act.

Of course, the manager's control is naturally inferior to Reuben, who represents "control". Some invisible areas will always unknowingly accumulate a lot of extreme malice and try to break the shackles of this balance.

But strangely enough,
Whenever a very dangerous existence is about to appear in a corner or an extremely bad incident occurs, sometimes the target or related incident has been wiped out before Garp can even peek through the cracks.

It seems that there is an invisible entity helping with the 'cleaning'.

Such a balance has greatly promoted the era of the great epidemic. The comprehensive strength of the entire universe is growing rapidly, stronger than any previous era.

however,
Just when everyone is "living and working in peace and contentment", there is a certain existence that hardly shows up and occupies a high position in the focus of the disease, which is causing increasing anxiety and even insomnia for many days.

【new moon】

The overall atmosphere is filled with chaos, with a large number of lunar craters forming a cross structure on the surface, and a layer of faint fantasy color outlining the outline of the moon.

Going deeper into the lunar crater, you will reach a large joint hospital inside.

However, the hospital has not been conducting any research recently, nor has it admitted any patients. All the staff are surrounding the dean, [Yuehen.Lorian], who is also the origin of the new moon.

Half a year had passed since I inherited Reuben's body, and because of the perfect union between the two of them, there was no rejection reaction.

Now Lorian's strength is comparable to Reuben's in the past, or even better, but he still has a very difficult step to take before he can achieve "transcendence".

But just about a week ago.

Lorian's "dreams" began to become uncontrollable and bizarre.

Logically speaking, with Lorian's current level, coupled with Reuben's "control" and "inner tower", he can easily erase the barrier between dreams and reality, and can completely become the "creator" of the dream world.

But the actual situation is contrary to our wishes.

The dreams became uncontrollable and chaotic, and I even hurt myself several times in my dreams.

Lorian even once suspected that Reuben had a "seed of consciousness" buried deep in his body or dreams, and wanted to take the opportunity to be reborn.

For this purpose, he mobilized the entire Crescent and the hospital to conduct a full week of physical examinations, but found nothing.

I didn't sleep at all this week and was completely insomniac.

tonight,

The "First Operating Room" at the deepest part of the hospital.

One hundred selected medical staff gathered around it, sitting in three circles in a certain formation.

Lorian was lying alone on the operating table in the center. His skull had been cut open and the surface was filled with various precision tubes that were connected to the scene through array engravings.

Since I can't find the problem in my sober state,
Lorian plans to find the "Reuben's remains" and eliminate the hidden dangers while fully immersing himself in the dream state.

"Dean, we are ready!"

"Let's get started... During the dream, if my body shows any tendency to transform into Reuben and becomes difficult to suppress, immediately report the situation here."

"understood."

The female doctor who had been following Lorian removed the needle from the infusion stand, inserted it into the vein, and injected some kind of drug that forced him to sleep.

After seven days, Lorian fell asleep again.

With the support of the entire hospital, he came directly to the depths of the dream and stood in front of the gate connecting to the chaotic world.

Once, because of Yi Chen's transcendence, the door to the chaotic world sensed danger and closed itself.

Now, this door opened again silently.

"Is this really the problem with this world? We need to go in and take a look."

When Lorian was about to step into this chaotic world again with his body wrapped in colorful matter, his moon eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of something.

Like a lighthouse, it can detect with visual light.
At an unknown distance away, Lorian captured a presence, a chaotic presence he had never seen before.

Moon Eyes only captured the structure of the head.

The smooth head was shaped like a boiled egg, and gray tentacles kept wriggling at the back of the head. In a trance, I seemed to see a handsome human face.

The other party seemed to have seen him as well and was approaching this side.

this moment,
Even the colorful substance that wrapped around Lorian was trembling, and even wanted to get into Lorian's body.

At this moment, Lorian also knew the real reason for his insomnia.
"It's not Reuben...it's a higher-dimensional being from the outside world! I must warn the world!"
