The final gentleman

"My name is Kadaisi Haji. Thank you Mr. William for your treatment."

"Um."

Yi Chen sat down at the reserved seat.

Two exquisite staple dishes, soup and dessert are prepared in front of each person.

Avengrad flavored sashimi,

Braised fish cubes,

A large portion of fish roe and vegetable pie,

Mushroom fish bone soup,

The bright red, purple, green and white dishes are placed in front of you. If it weren't for the overwhelming aroma, it would be hard to eat.

During the meal,

The boss asked in a low voice while chewing the fish:

"Have you seen through the nature of the town?"

Yi Chen quickly waved his hand, "Huh? It's not that I can see through the essence. I just barely understand the symptoms and process of the disease that happened in Green Lake Town, or it is a [screening mechanism].

If my analysis is correct,

Pathological infections should be divided into three stages:

Direct or indirect contact with the water source in Green Lake Town will lead to the invasion of pathogens.

Thus begins the "first phase".

At this stage, the body will slowly grow some fish scales and begin to yearn for underwater life.

It should also be able to receive instructions from the 'parasitic mother'.

The main structure of the body is still in the human category, and there is not much change... He lives a normal life in a small town, organizing various activities to attract more tourists here.

Wait until the state of the first stage is stable or a certain indicator is reached.

Individuals will be given the qualification to go to Green Lake and have close contact with the lake.

Officially entering the "second phase".

I personally call this stage - [Fishification]

Due to the deep infiltration of the lake water, the human body will undergo serious changes.

The skin will develop scales, and the organs and tissues will also tend to have a fish structure, gradually transitioning to a mermaid state.

As for the third stage.

This is the state you have reached now,

Return to the land, remove the fish-like structure on the outside, and transform into an individual with sound consciousness. "

"You are indeed...different.

But there is one thing that I couldn’t understand even after thinking about it all night. Why should we provide help when we know that we are sick people?

You came here just to investigate the root cause of the disease and eradicate it, right? "

Yi Chen listened to the boss's doubts and took a long time to put a piece of sashimi into his mouth, swallowed and answered;

“To be precise, I am still in the assessment period.

I am still not clear about some concepts and ideas.

I just do things the 'right' way. "

Having said this, Miss Kadaisi laughed.

The boss also showed a smile and didn't say anything more.

at this time,

There was a strong explosion outside the hotel, coming from the direction of the center of the town... There were also various rapid footsteps and collisions, and the town seemed to have entered a state of chaos.

Yi Chen was about to get up and check,

The boss motioned for him to sit down and said softly:

"If a 'foreign tourist' has lived in the town for two days and is still not infected, we will take compulsory measures here.

The tourists who came to the town this time all had extremely high self-control and good strength, and could effectively avoid all forms of water contact.

Tonight has been designated by the mayor as [The Day of Disease Transformation], and you will be subject to forced purification.

But don't worry...as long as you stay in the hotel, no one will come to your door. "

"Um."

Being able to stay in the hotel until the end of the third day is also a good choice.

Yi Chen is self-aware,

Especially after meeting Edmund and others, he knew very well that his foundation was very poor and he had not experienced systematic training... If he encountered a more powerful diseased body, he would have almost no chance of winning.

Just when Yi Chen readily accepted such a safety proposal,

Little Putao suddenly jumped out of his shoulders and landed on the dining table.

Rows of teeth and eyes are exposed together,

Hands on hips!

Mixed noises emanate from the body.

"Hey~ William, he is helping you complete the important 'patient transformation'... You know, humans may regard such behavior as a [crime], and may even be directly guillotined.

Do you really think that you can kill yourself by cooking a meal?

Give some valid information and substantial help. "

Although the shape of Little Grape’s fleshy balls looks a bit funny,

But these words contained a hint of coercion.

Although the boss has no expression on his face,

But her sister Kadaisi instinctively moved her chair away from the ball of flesh.

Although Yi Chen was a little surprised, his expression remained unchanged... he acquiesced to Xiao Putao's behavior.

The boss and Little Putao looked at each other with one eye, and finally chose to compromise.

"I was going to talk about this after dinner.

Since you want to use the platform of 'Green Lake Town' to pass the so-called assessment and obtain higher scores, I will give you a special path.

There is a [good thing] hidden in the deepest part of the lake.

It is this thing that supervises the 'fish transformation' process and at the same time monitors and controls the sick people.

Once this thing is killed, the root of the disease in the town will be eliminated.

If you have this idea, my sister and I will work together to disguise you as 'sacrifice' and offer it to the things at the bottom of the lake... In this way, you can easily avoid the interference of the fishmen and go straight to the target.

The dinner you just ate is enough to give you enough 'fishy smell' that you won't be suspected. "

The boss's words reminded Yi Chen of his time on the lake.

The sense of spying from the bottom of the lake was like a huge eye staring at me.

current,

Green Lake Town is undergoing a 'purge', and a large-scale battle is breaking out between the townspeople and other assessors. It is the best time to take action.

Thus,

Two roads leading to the end of the assessment lie before you.

1. Stay in the hotel honestly and pass the assessment safely under the protection of the boss and your sister.

2. Take advantage of the current best opportunity and go to the depths of Green Lake under the cover of the brothers and sisters to kill the root of the disease hidden in it.

Before making a choice, Yi Chen had one more question.

"If our action fails and we fail to kill the thing at the bottom of the lake, you and Miss Kadaisi will definitely be implicated... Why do you do this?"

“Mutual benefit.

My sister has completed shedding her scales and transformed into an independent-thinking individual.

But due to the existence of the thing at the bottom of the lake, we are still bound here... Only by getting rid of that thing can we leave the town. I promised her to go outside and take a look.

It is you who make the decision, Mr. William~ If you decide to go to the bottom of the lake, I believe you will also have confidence in it. "

"I need to think about it...just give me five minutes."

Although he couldn't see any problem from the expressions of the siblings,

Based on the information collected so far and analyzed from an objective perspective, although the brother and sister are patients, they retain a certain degree of humanity.

but,

But Yi Chen is still completely unfamiliar with this world, and there are still many 'position rules' that he doesn't understand.

"Little Grape, can you believe it?" 』

"Of course it's believable, why can't it be believable... Because I am an independent individual who violated the 'pathogenic root', was reassembled and born from the cemetery, and is not subject to any restrictions.

I can understand the mood and thoughts of these two guys.

Such a great opportunity is in front of you, and it's worth taking the risk.

If you can do this, your assessment scores will be far higher than those of other humans, and you will be valued by the organization. You will have more opportunities, survival probability, and possibility to explore the world in the future.

Do you agree? 』

"Do we have the ability to kill the root of the disease that controls and rules the entire town? 』

"This [mother body], which needs to control a large number of parasites and is also responsible for the work of fish transformation, is often fixed in one place and cannot move.

Its essence is also a 'parasite', and it does not have much fighting power.

The biggest difficulty lies in [getting closer],

Any outsider who goes into the lake will not only be infected by the lake water, but will also be attacked by the mermaids.

And under the cover of the two brothers and sisters, as long as we can get close to the mother's body, everything will become easier.

Moreover.

Even if your silver ax is not enough to kill the target, this grape has so many teeth! 』

Little Putao proudly showed off his white teeth and couldn't wait to take action.

Yi Chen didn't respond immediately. He crossed his hands in front of his nose and thought quietly.

He has noticed that there seems to be something abnormal about Little Putao, and he is more active than before in this matter.

Just when it's hard to make a choice,

Suddenly recalling the experience in the cemetery,

When fighting a living corpse, he felt infinitely close to death... At the same time, he remembered the important assistance provided by Little Putao. It was precisely because of the enhanced vision that he was able to leave the cemetery alive.

Huh...take a deep breath.

"If you want to survive in this world, [seeking stability] is absolutely impossible. Just like when I didn't stay in the cabin, I took the initiative to go to Cemetery No. 4 to solve the problem."

I don’t know the origin, true character, or specific stance of Little Putao.

Since it saved me once, I trust it unconditionally this time.

If it survives, it proves that it is trustworthy and can be used for long-term cooperation in the future.

And I also need to seize this [opportunity] and stand on a higher platform... Just like I did in the orphanage during my lifetime, I need to seize the opportunity to leave the orphanage at all costs. 』
