Chapter 533 The Plague Bed
William stared at this tall tower that only appeared in the dark, and he began to think about something in his heart.
One thing he can be sure of is that if the city lord is still alive, his strength is absolutely terrifying, and it may even reach the regular baseline of the circus chief.

After all, the other party was a person from ancient times, and he was personally recognized by the Lord of the Cancer Palace by beheading the Knight of the Tumor, not to mention that he was inextricably linked with the moon.

Even if he has been decadent for so many years, he will not be so weak.

In William's view, the high tower is temporarily untouchable, otherwise the people who have not gone to the abyss may be gone.

"Keith, has the castellan never left the tower since the moon shattered?"

"Anyway, from my birth to now, I have never seen the city lord, and the rumors are the same... The shattering of the moon completely extinguished the fire in the city lord's heart, and he sealed himself in the dark moon tower forever.

There is another rumor that said that the city lord had participated in that war, killed many invaders, and stayed in the tower for many years to rest because of his injuries.

With the fall of the moon, the city lord wanted to create a new moon with his own power, but he couldn't do it until now, because the rules of the old world have been blocked and it is impossible to create new things.

It is also the case that the city lord has become increasingly depressed and does not care about world affairs. "

"Ah."

At the same time, William contacted the guy hiding in his body who had been afraid to speak since entering the city.

"Little Putao, is your plague sensor inside this tower?" 』

"No...not this tower anymore, it's to the left.

It should be a relatively conspicuous place, after all, even if I am completely hidden now, I can still have a stronger induction. 』

After getting the answer from Xiaoputao, William also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't for this tower, he could say nothing.

"Keith, I seem to smell a very strong plague, which seems to be coming from the left."

"Ah! You can smell all of this? As expected of the boss, the stone used in the [Plague-bed] is second only to the tower, and it is basically fully enclosed. Logically, you shouldn't smell anything. "

"[Plague bed]?"

"Yes...Because the city lord sealed himself in the tower, he didn't care about the world.

Mouse City gradually became chaotic, and when there was no one to manage it, the former city owner's adjutant stepped forward.

He believes that the old world after the war is about to undergo fusion, all kinds of resources will become more and more precious, and the cancer palace itself has also been severely damaged, so it is impossible to care about this remote mouse city.

If you want to survive in the post-war world, you must make changes, so the "Proliferation and Plague Code" was promulgated, trying to create a plague city that can be self-sufficient and has a certain strength.

The plague bed is the core building in this transformation, built by the adjutant himself, and it is also his own fortress.

It is specially used for the research and development of the plague, and any ratman in the Rat City who has expressed potential in "infectious disease" will be brought there.

The so-called 'potential' is not just those who are talented in disease infection,
Every month, the "quarantine officer" of the plague bed will collect blood samples from every household. As long as a new type of infectious disease is found in the blood, they will be directly dragged to the plague bed.

There is a very small probability that this rat will become a quarantine officer.

And most of the time, the chosen guy will never be seen.

It is also because of the existence of the plague bed that the rat city rains plague every day and builds a high wall made of corpses.Even if someone came to Mouse City with the idea of ​​mining, he would eventually leave because he couldn't bear the plague. "

William asked with some doubts:

"Even if the whole city's ecology, governance and other factors change...the city lord of the Dark Moon Tower still hasn't moved? Not even a single verbal instruction?"

"No."

"Okay, by the way, can we go to the so-called [Plague Bed]?"

"This...isn't so good~ I just said that once the mice selected by the plague bed basically never return, and it is an important area second only to the Dark Moon Tower.

My current relationship can't help..."

Seeing Keith's distressed face, William no longer felt embarrassed, and lightly patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, then we won't go! Today's leading the way ends here, go back, and I will stay at your house tonight."

"No problem, but the environmental conditions in my house are relatively poor, and a big person like you, the boss, may not be used to living there."

"It's okay. When I was young, no one could be trusted. On the contrary, the mice in the dark corners can become my friends, and I sometimes sleep with them."

【civilian area】

On the side of the road near the city wall, there is a cave covered with wooden boards every ten meters apart.
Open one of the cave planks and go down the damp and dark passage to Keith's house, or a rat's nest is more appropriate.

The oval space structure is only 2m high, and the space is about [-] square meters.

What William didn't expect was that there was another white-haired mouse living under it, wearing a neater white dress with embroidered patches, which was cleaner than most of the civilians William had seen along the way.

"Husband, could this be the 'big boss' you are talking about! Teresa has met your lord."

The female rat, who was over the middle of the year, actually held up the hem of her skirt with both hands and saluted William.The latter also instinctively took off his hood, put his right hand on his chest and returned the salute.

"Teresa quickly vacated our room, and went to buy some fabric to make a bed. The boss will spend the night with us tonight."

"Yes!"

Seeing this, William quickly raised his hand to stop:

"Don't be so troublesome, I don't want to affect your life because of my arrival... By the way, besides the two of you, is there only the living room left here?"

"There's also a smaller basement with some old stuff down there."

"The basement is fine, I'll live in it."

"This...the bottom has not been tidied up for a long time, and the space is very small. Why don't you wait, Teresa and I will go down and tidy up first."

"It doesn't matter, I can adapt anywhere, even sleeping standing up.

In short, don't bother me when I'm down there, and I'll take the initiative to find you if I need anything. "

"Okay... okay, as long as you can adapt, boss."

At this time, Teresa, the female mouse, brought a glass of "sage wine" brewed by herself. William looked at the clear reddish color and politely chose to accept it.

Open the wooden plank in the corner, there are no steps, and William squeezed into it with a jump.

The basement space is indeed pitifully small, but the airtightness is very good, which is in line with William's personal needs.

“Very nice place!”

With a flick of William's finger, ten coins flew straight up to pay for tonight's accommodation. The Keith couple didn't ask any more questions, and deliberately took out a red carpet to cover the entrance to the basement.

What William will do next is not rest, but skin absorption and clothing repair.

The encounter last night was still fresh in his memory, and this was the first time since he cooperated with Huang Pi that Huang Pi's true self was traumatized, even seriously.

Before William asked about the status of the yellow skin, the yellow text had already appeared on the retina.

≮Quickly absorb the "Apostle Skin", my condition is not very good...≯
William first put his palms on the wall of the basement, letting the chains spread out, sealing every corner of the room and forming a kind of seal structure used by the monastery to guard the prisoners.

Make sure that the breath of the apostle's skin will not leak out.

While removing the skin bag,
William also took out the "Skinbag Bible" that had been blackened by himself,
The Bible appeared, and the basement was covered with a special layer of skin again, further sealing off the underground space.

"Huangpi, I need you to hold on for a while... before absorbing it, I need to transform the skin into a "black dead skin" that suits me." 』

≮There is no bathtub here to soak the skin. If your death liquid seeps out, it will definitely attract the attention of the rats. After all, that kind of thing happened last night. ≯
"Don't worry, I'm already prepared. 』

William took out a compressed and folded black box from the depths of the suitcase, and it would unfold automatically with a light touch, forming a larger black lottery box.

This is the magic box that William used when performing in the circus.

The inner wall of this prop from Jain himself has the abyss attribute, which is enough to serve as a "reaction container".

William cut open his own head and poured the black liquid into it. After waiting for a while, the magic box made of special material was indeed not damaged.

Then he carefully stuffed the apostle's skin into it, and then gently stirred it with his arm... When the black liquid mixed with the skin, a certain reaction began to take place.

At the gate of the leather factory far away, Pim, the gatekeeper crouching under the blood river, also felt a tingling pain in his body.
