the last gentleman

Chapter 541 Team Up
When trying everything, even sacrificing the flesh, cannot bring victory,

When the sudden last hope turned into greater despair,

Dugal finally realized that he was just a slightly superior folk among thousands of rats. Without the assistance of Abyss, he would have already failed in the path.
He can't be compared with that city lord at all, he has always been a loser.

Intense thoughts kept colliding between the brains, and the unstable consciousness that had been eroded by the abyss collapsed at this moment.
The green prime minister Dugal who was abandoned by the abyss finally left only a cracked mouse skull and fell to the ground. Although the head still exudes vitality, the pupils of the eyes are already slack and lifeless.

Looking at the scene in front of him, William couldn't help but recall the "classmates" in the orphanage.

Some children with insufficient psychological endurance will become like this after experiencing a series of blows. They obviously have not suffered any external injuries, and their bodies are still functioning well, but their whole person is already dead.

"Little Putao, you take care of the rest... I'll go out with Jin and have a talk."

The little black ball on the shoulder rubbed his little hand, it had been waiting for a long time.

An aerial rotation landed steadily on the surface of the mouse's head for three and a half weeks, and then waved the slender arm with only three fingers, "You two, hurry up and catch up with the past, I want to use all the resources here."

"William, let's go~ This place really stinks!"

"Hold on."

Following William's beckoning, Thirteen quickly ran over.

"Jin, this is the candle puppet I bought from Lantern City, named Thirteen."

"Oh~ so it's a candle puppet? I've heard that many treasure hunters who go to [The Darkest Place] will bring such a candle puppet. I thought it was just an ordinary machine, but I didn't expect it to be so similar. people."

Thirteen seemed to sense something from the words, stepped back slightly and bowed his head in silence.

William simply explained, "The reason why Shisan looks like a human is because he has been "educated" by me and gained the ability to think and learn independently.

This time I brought Thirteen here, precisely because there seems to be a new type of abyss not far from Mouse City, which is also the ultimate goal of my journey. "

"Is there an abyss here? Why haven't I heard of it. And William, you chose the abyss as your destination. Could it be...cough~ it stinks, let's talk about it when we go out."

Jin couldn't bear the stench anymore. With the miniature explosion between his calves and his physical strength, he reached a height of more than 500 meters and escaped from the cave with a seemingly simple jump on his knees.

Although William is physically strong enough, it is too difficult to reach such a height through a one-time jump.

Looking at the recoil imprint left on the ground after Jin jumped, it was in the shape of a lotus flower in a ring, and he couldn't help but sigh,
"Jin's [pathway] seems to have made her control over the body more delicate... I didn't expect to meet her here in advance, and I was planning to complete the path before going to her.

However, it is good to meet in advance.Let's see if she is willing to go to the abyss. With Jin around, some things will be much more convenient. "

William took a deep breath, and the pattern of stars emerged between his ankles.

As soon as he stepped on it, a staircase made of stars would automatically form in the air, carrying him out of the cave with ease.

"Thirteen, come up together."

Thirteen, who already knows how to read words and expressions, seems to have seen something in the previous conversation, smiled and waved his hands, "No teacher, my current body can fully support me to climb out of here, at most one minute slower."

"alright."

As William stepped out of the cave, he returned to the ground.

The "plague rain" that watered Mouse City all day has diminished, and even tends to stop.

A large number of rat people gathered at the destroyed plague bed, including Keith the white rat as the guide.In addition, there are many open source ratmen like hotel owners, who are more or less contaminated with the abyss.

When he saw the tumor knight appearing with the young man, but failed to see Dugal,
The Ratman who was contaminated by the abyss immediately escaped from the city as quickly as possible, and ran towards the direction of [Darknest Mine].

"William, do you want to chase them? There are six of them in total. I can catch them all in about 2 minutes and 23 seconds." Jin said while wringing his fingers.

"No, the follow-up can just follow their tracks and find the location of the abyss."

"Oh."

While the two were communicating briefly, the rat people around who were not infected by the abyss, or not given the opportunity by the abyss, knelt down one after another,

They sincerely thanked the two for killing Dugal. Even if the Mouse City may no longer exist, at least they no longer have to live a life of being confined in the city, forced to split, and may be used as experimental materials at any time.

It was as if the two in front of them had given them true freedom.

"Kim, where are you going?"

"The whole city stinks, let's go outside and talk."

Jin picked out a lump of flesh from his waist, rubbed it into a ball between his palms, and then made a motion of throwing a baseball.

Whoosh!The meat ball flew out of the city at a speed faster than a bullet.

After finishing the throw, Jin immediately followed up with a lunge. When she deliberately slowed down and waited for William to catch up, she found that William was not far behind.

"William, your body has become stronger again, and it's not a little... You haven't completed the path yet. It seems that you have received a lot of special training during this time."

"After leaving the cancer palace, I encountered a lot of interesting things, and my body changed a lot."

Behind the two, Thirteen followed closely at a not-so-slow speed, completely inconsistent with the shape of her old-fashioned candle puppet.

Soon came to the place where the meat ball landed,
The meat ball that fell to the ground has evolved into a European-style villa. The flesh on the outer wall is completely hardened and blackened, and there are a lot of red lotus plants growing around it.

Not only the appearance, but also the interior structure of the villa is quite perfect, even all kinds of furniture have been derived, and there are even beautifully shaped meat fat oil lamp candles to provide light.

"Wow~ Kim, how did you do that?"

"It's very simple, you just need to inject the picture in your head into the meat ball... After completing the pathway, my control over the meat quality has greatly improved, and many things have become very convenient."

Jin is as familiar as coming home, and even made two cups of steaming tea with dried meat slices.

After taking a seat on the soft pork belly sofa, Jin flipped the hidden switches on both sides of the helmet with his thumbs, click!The fully enclosed helmet was removed.

A delicate and impeccable face was also revealed, especially the red lotus birthmark at the corner of the eye, which was very conspicuous.

Perhaps due to the influence of the pathway, Jin's hair was dyed the same color as Red Lotus.

Even Shisan, who was standing at the door as a pretend work, was surprised by this appearance.

"Kim, your mask?"

"Are you talking about mother? Because when joining the knight order, it is required to combine back tumors, own diseases, etc. to make knight armor.

After much deliberation, I smashed Mom's mask back into ashes and added it to the forge of this outfit, and now Mom is stuck with me at all times, never alone. "

"When did you complete the pathway?"

Jin put his fingers on his chin, his eyes rolled quickly, "You haven't been gone for long~ Because I won the championship with you in the underground venue by defeating the recruits, I accidentally got the chance to meet the Lord, and even 'sleep'.

On the bed of the lord, I accidentally glimpsed the [door], so I took the opportunity to go on a road trip, which was completed in just one month, and was also drawn and approved by the lord during the period. "

"The Lord's guidance?"

"That's right~ My Lord is kind-hearted, I don't know why many people are afraid of her.

Alright, tell me your story quickly. During this period of time, William, you must have experienced a lot of things, especially the circus, and how you found the abyss. "

The chat couldn't stop at all, even Shisan fell asleep many times during the process.

Every time I wake up in the middle, I can see the two people who are having a long talk, and the expression she has rarely seen on the teacher's face. It is obviously a kind of smile, but I feel that this kind of smile is different. I don't know what to do. how to describe.

"Abyss! William, your way is actually in the abyss! Can I go together?"

"Are you sure you want to come?"

"I've always had nothing to do, so I'm taking this time off to look for opportunities to see if I can get props that suit me.

Since William, you are going to the abyss, I will also follow the treasure hunt, maybe there will be unexpected gains... Since the breakthrough, the original sword can't keep up with me, and I have made it into a pendant as a souvenir. "

Jin took out a blood jade from his waist, which was engraved with a hideous baby pattern.

"Okay, let's go together!"

"Yeah! That's great~ I'm bored to death staying in the Cancer Palace. It's more fun to stay with William."
