The Last Gentleman

Chapter 257: Death Pool

[Hippocrates Hospital]

The origin of the Clinic, the site for Doctor Selection, and the center for organizing, analyzing, and storing information on illnesses, it is also the area with the highest medical standards within the Organization.

Even internal staff can only enter and exit the Hospital at specified times.

It is even more complicated for outsiders who wish to enter the Hospital, as they need to go through various cumbersome procedures and layers of approval.

However, Yi Chen, standing in front of the gate, merely showed a special business card to the guard and was immediately led inside, even having security personally guide him.

“Vice Director Visari instructed us that if you come, you should be taken straight to his office building, and any related procedures will be handled by us afterward,” the guard explained.

“Thank you for the trouble.”

[Pathogen Center]

A massive, sealed white square building, one could feel a palpable force field shielding when approaching, as the white building material itself had powerful shielding effects.

All intelligence regarding Pathological conditions, various types of diseases, re

“If you’re sure you want to break through here, even if the quantity of the secret medicine isn’t enough, I can supplement it for you… after all, I have privately collected quite a few death-related secret medicines.

‘Dusk thin silver liquid’—I have three full bottles here, which is more than enough for you.”

“Good.”

“Follow me, I have long prepared a special area suitable for breakthroughs for you, where no one will disturb you.”

[Dead Workshop]

Similar to a small workshop, with various operating tables, hydraulic tanks, and colorful solutions placed aside. In addition, there are many death apprentices here wearing bird-like masks, working on dead body dissections, modifications, and even juice extraction.

When Visari arrived, they all stopped their work and bowed to him.

He did not stop but continued towards a deeper lab, which even required Visari to personally unlock a round disc password lock.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Three hydraulic doors with different structures opened in sequence, and after passing through a narrow, long, side-body corridor, a pungent odor hit them.

What appeared before them was an ‘indoor swimming pool’,

except that the water was completely black, bubbling, and even had some dark gold oil stains. One could even see pieces of skin, fingernails, and hairs floating on the surface.

However, Yi Chen didn’t feel disgusted. Instead, saliva overflowed from the corners of his mouth, which he quickly wiped away with his sleeve.

He even couldn’t wait to jump into the pool and suck up the liquid inside to his heart’s content.

“Thank you, Vice President! Say, is this the death convergence point for the entire building?”

“Right. The essences that overflow from the dead and the residues from our experiments, I’m used to collecting them here… this is a whole ten years’ worth.”

“Can I really use it?”

“As long as you find it useful, feel free to use it however you want. After all, I also occasionally use it to make tea, take baths, and the like—there’s no way I could use it all up myself.

Hurry in. When you fully enter the ‘membrane state,’ I’ll come back in and inject the secret medicine into you.”

Yi Chen nodded, performed a standard dive into it, and when his head bobbed back to the surface, Doctor Visari had temporarily left.

Yi Chen wasn’t in a hurry;first, he used the straws evolved from his garments to drink enough liquid, allowing Death Aura to permeate his entire body. Once everything was ready, he took out the Golden Box.

“Huh! Let’s begin…”

At this moment,

even Yi Chen couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat accelerate.

He opened the Golden Box, lifted the mass of biological brain within, and guided by an intuition in the dark, moved it towards his forehead.

The solid-state Madness Brain actually rippled as it touched his scalp, directly penetrating into his cranial cavity and merging with Yi Chen’s own brain.

[Madness]

An ancient script, black and arranged like conduit pipes, emerged before his eyes,

In the blink of an eye, although Yi Chen was supposed to be soaking in the death fluid, he found himself floating hundreds of meters in the air,

surrounded by an open world full of tumors, oozing pus, floating illness tentacles, and a multitude of bizarre, diseased beings living strange lives.

“Is this… the Old World before it was sealed off? These patients were once the residents of the Old World… They seem unable to see me.”

Just as Yi Chen wanted to examine his own state, he found that he had no hands, and in fact, no torso or brain either.

He had become a nano-scale shell-like virus or to be exact ‘Mad Shell’.
