The final gentleman

When landing,

Those extremely aggressive mermaids swimming in the lake retreated on their own.

Even if their companions were killed in large numbers, they had no intention of pursuing them... In other words, they seemed to be ineligible to go ashore now.

After several minutes of intense escape,

Even the well-trained Edmund and others began to gasp one after another and checked their bodies immediately.

They took out a soft test tube from the hanging pocket on the inside of the coat.

Apply the liquid between the test tubes to the surface of the skin, cleaning away the blood stains and lake water stained during the battle.

Edmund even took the initiative to hand Yi Chen a soft test tube.

"William, do you need some?"

"No...thank you."

Edmund shrugged, naturally realizing that Yi Chen was not affected by the water quality.

"It's only been a day~ and something of this magnitude comes to us. The next two days may be very difficult. I estimate that a number of assessors will die here directly."

When Edmund said these words, he intentionally or unintentionally gave Yi Chen a special look,

However,

Yi Chen turned around and looked at the mermaid figure receding in the lake. At the same time, he looked at the completely soaked body of the Sheriff.

"Can you give me this body?"

“Of course, it’s useless for us to take such corpses… After all, there are no descendants of ‘doctors’ or geniuses trained in clinics in the team.

By the way, if you just drag the body back like this, it wouldn't be good if someone sees it, right? "

"wait a second."

Yi Chen trotted towards the streets of the town,

Within a few minutes, I bought a large enough linen bag, as well as some spare small knives.

He packed up the swollen body with extremely skillful techniques and walked towards the hotel like dragging garbage.

Combined with Yi Chen's slightly taller figure and gloomy clothes, he gives people the feeling of a "corpse collector".

"Hey, Mr. William~ I look forward to our next cooperation."

Edmund, with a sunny look on his face, waved goodbye.

Yi Chen just turned his back, raised his free left hand over his shoulder, and reluctantly responded.

Wait until the figure slowly disappears,

Edmund frowned deliberately,

"Did you just see it?

This guy also controls rare "plant-like" pathological characteristics. He is very likely to become a [doctor] in the future, and he will definitely be a sought-after presence among organizations.

One of the 'high-quality skins' corresponding to this assessment will inevitably be taken up by William.

Now we have to cheer up. "

Juliana commented softly: "He has a sense of gloom all over his body. He seems to have been born in a cemetery, but he has a plant disease that symbolizes vitality... What a strange guy."

…

However,

What these people don't know is that

Yi Chen was still in the passionate state after killing the enemy and escaping danger, but he just suppressed his emotions deliberately.

"The psychological quality and combat foundation of these guys are far beyond ordinary people... they must have received long-term training, and they are fundamentally different from me.

Teaming up with them may reduce risks and gain useful intelligence.

But my ‘rookie’ attribute will also be exposed.

They might be exploited or even used as bait at a dangerous moment.

It's best to keep the relationship half-baked like this. "

Return to the hotel.

The boss was still observing the fish specimens at the counter, turning a blind eye to Yi Chen who was returning by boat.

Just as he passed the counter,

Snapped!

The boss suddenly slapped a few white candles on the table and said without raising his head:

"Don't spread it everywhere. [The smell] will also affect my sister's rest. Make sure the candle is burning while you handle it."

"knew."

Go back to your room and lock it.

Place candles in every corner of the bathroom, and when the scent of incense fills the air, officially start ‘working’.

Next, Yi Chen needs to figure out a few things.

1. After falling into the water, why did this police officer not turn into the "mermaids" swimming at the bottom of the lake, but drowned and died?

2. What physical changes will lake water bring to the human body?

Huh... Since I have never done anything like this before, I am inevitably a little nervous.

Before taking action,

Yi Chen put his hands on both sides of his cheeks.

Hiss~

Strips of emerald green plant seedlings grow from the fingertips, intersecting and braiding with each other to form a homemade plant mask.

Whether it's the stench of corpses or the scent of candles,

All can be purified into fresh air by masks.

"The disease transformation ability is really useful... According to Mr. Albert, as long as I pass the assessment, I can examine this ability in detail in some way.

Development should continue in the future.

It even reaches the level of a living corpse that uses roots as spears and whiskers as legs.

really interesting,

Even if you have to bear the risk of death, it is much more comfortable than being stuck in the laboratory writing papers day and night. "

After these few days of experiences,

Yi Chen felt that his true nature was being gradually activated, and he fully understood that this was the world that was most suitable for him.

Gajigaji~

Continue to weave a pair of natural gloves from plant tender strips,

With a sharp knife from the store,

Start working,

Perhaps because of [William Behrens]’s inherent innate abilities,

The process of handling the 'corpse' was quite smooth, even comparable to the proficiency of conducting experiments while alive.

Gradually immersed in it,

full of interest in this,

Even Xiao Putao was surprised by Yi Chen's concentration on this matter.

I don’t know how many hours have passed,

In front of my eyes,

The completely dissected corpse presents a picture that goes beyond medical common sense.

A body cavity full of mucus,

The positions of various organs change,

Cavity walls and organs, and organs and organs all stick to each other.

The ribs have become elongated, sharp, and have additional bone spur branches spread throughout the flesh.

But some parts still maintain the original structure of the human body.

Such changes are not quite...like a 'failure of evolution'.

A clue that could touch the root of Green Lake Town's 'ichthyosis' has surfaced.

"If that's the case, it explains everything."

Yi Chen was very satisfied with the anatomy results and even bowed to the 'sheriff' to thank him.

Packing the leftovers,

Tow quietly,

Digging and burying

After processing, the time has reached midnight.

"Try taking a bath~"

The faucet in the bathroom was turned on to the maximum, washing away the remaining tissue fragments and viscous liquid.

at the same time,

Yi Chen also took off his clothes,

Take the initiative to expose your body to cold water and wash away the sweat and fatigue from your body.

The reason why I choose to take a bath is

First, because of today's battle in the Green Lake, Yi Chen had the experience of contact with the lake water, which made Yi Chen certain that his skin could resist external infections from the lake water.

Second, it is necessary to make such an attempt,

The situation in the next two days is still unknown. We may fall into Green Lake for various reasons. It is necessary to "adapt to the water" in advance.

During flushing,

Yi Chen could clearly feel the surge of plant roots in his body and formed a defense system independently.

"No problem... Even if you encounter danger later and fall into the lake, I can ensure that your body will not be invaded."

Feeling refreshed,

Fall on the bed and fall asleep quickly

However,

I still can't spend the night peacefully,

Yi Chen, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened again.

The difference from last night is that

This time I woke up not stimulated by plants,

Instead, there were bursts of sharp, throat-breaking screams coming from outside the door.

It originated from the 'sister's room' at the end of the passage.

Push open the door,

Yi Chen leaned against the door and observed through the small grapes between his sleeves and robes.

In the visual window shared,

The door at the end has been opened,

The strong candlelight is reflected in the room,

Along with the candlelight, there was also a red liquid that 'ran out' of the room.

Cold, sticky and fishy.

"This is……"

After some observation, Yi Chen decided to take action.

The kerosene lamp hangs on the waist,

Holding an ax in both hands,

Just when he was about to approach 'sister's room',

The innkeeper's voice came from inside, mixed with a bit of impatience.

"Either stay away or come in and help."
