The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 630 - 628 Black
Chapter 630: Chapter 628 Black
First Transfer Company - Redundant Intestine
It’s considered the most ancient and original transfer company,
with "cooperative relationships" established with nearly every unsealed source epidemic area. However, they don’t particularly need the protection provided by the source epidemic areas, for their own strength is sufficiently formidable.
Especially the company headquarters, constructed as a logistics center in Lu Pu, any intruder who dares to trespass the Redundant Intestine building will be immediately subdued and dealt with covertly.
In the deepest part of the headquarters’ underground—also the location of the building’s "foundation—lies the company’s core intestines, all originating from this place, which conceals Redundant Intestine Company’s greatest secret.
The sprawling primitive colon that crisscrosses the subterranean area eventually converges at a damaged throne of hundred-meter scale, or rather, onto the ancient giant embedded within the throne.
He is without the covering of skin, his muscular and skeletal structures are incomplete, sustained purely through the traction and pulling of the colon. The interior of his torso is packed with colons instead of other organs, neatly arranged intestines like a human body maze.
He lacks not only organs but even blood vessels and nerves, maintained solely by the colon which sustains all life functions.
The giant is none other than the founder and president of the Redundant Intestine Company. As long as he is in charge, there are few who dare to trouble the headquarters.
Any individual not recognized by the intestines who enters the company and threatens it will be identified by him immediately and absorbed through the intestines into his internal maze.
If one fails to find their way out within a certain period, they will be completely absorbed.
At present, the president is monitoring the entire company’s operating status through the colon and was happy about the extra orders signed today, but the expression of a smile on his face suddenly ceased.
Not because something happened within the company, but rather, from the Black Worm headquarters not far from the company, a dangerously trembling aura suddenly emanated that shook his entire colon.
When he tried to perceive what was happening inside through several underground colons close to the Black Worm headquarters, the sensation he received was a pitch-black image accompanied by a consciousness drag feeling that could fully engulf him.
A foreign yet awe-inspiring term surfaced in the president’s mind,
Abyss
He immediately ordered the Redundant Intestine headquarters to enter a first-level alert state, halting all commercial routes linked to the headquarters temporarily. The related goods were stored in transfer stations, and all personnel of B grade and above were directed to the Duodenum Region to await further instructions.
In the president’s view, even if the Abyss were to descend upon Lu Pu, he would protect the integrity of the Redundant Intestine headquarters at all costs.
...
Black Worm Headquarters
Holy Nest Protozoa President Burn was meeting with William in the laboratory, just about to inquire about the specifics of the recent ’disappearance’ when
Buzz!
An indescribable black fog surged from William’s abdomen; as the black fog emerged, within it Burn could see countless nanoscale eyeballs, teeth, and nerves.
Rather than calling it a black fog, it was more like a dissociated matter of countless nanoscale tissues and organs connected together, appearing as a fog only from a macroscopic perspective.
Most importantly, President Burn felt an indescribable ’sense of crisis’ from this fog.
"William, what are you doing?!"
Even William himself was somewhat panicked, trying to push the president in front of him away, "It’s not me! Mr. Burn, get out of here as fast as possible... too late."
The next moment, darkness fell.
The laboratory used for Ascaris Experiments was instantly sealed by an unknown darkness,
researchers in the external observation room, including Reagan, were cut off, a tangible black curtain appeared before their eyes.
At first, everyone was stunned; then, a researcher concerned about their boss tried to tear through this isolation curtain.
As his palm touched the surface of the curtain, an ’out-of-control reaction’ instantly occurred, the hand that made contact began to replicate wildly, threatening to fill the entire observation room in mere seconds.
With no other choice, the other researchers had to collectively kill him to stop this bizarre situation of infinite replication.
"Don’t touch the black curtain, try to analyze it with detectors and find a weakness."
The person in charge, Charlie, immediately commanded everyone on the scene to take targeted actions, while Reagan remained unmoved, for he had already completed the inspection of the curtain with his electromagnetic radiation in the first instant.
The conclusion was that it couldn’t be broken; anyone attempting to tear through the curtain would be devoured by the darkness.
Reagan took a few steps back to the doorway, rapidly assessing the situation before him.
"So this is the Abyss... to think it would descend personally, William sure has a lot of clout. freewёbnoνel.com
The duration of the descent shouldn’t be too long; this is the Old World’s first major Neutral City, after all. The source epidemic areas that receive the news will immediately come forward to encircle and suppress the Abyss, and even a Plague Master might arrive directly."
...
Inside the curtain.
President Burn was already sweating profusely, trying his best to keep his gaze below the horizon, not daring to look directly at the ’visitor’ before him.
William was already kneeling on one knee while wearing his exclusive Abyss Mask, maintaining a devout posture as he presented himself,
Before them, the dark entity wrapped in a curtain gown, the one that had brought darkness into the laboratory, was none other than the [Tenth Abyss],
It extended an arm constructed of countless tiny hands and gently placed it on the top of William’s head, then followed the contour of his head downwards, over the mask, the neck, and along the midline of the body down to the abdomen.
Touching the moist and soft depths of the abdomen,
Whispers of the Abyss were released into the surrounding darkness, "Without my recognition and authorization from the Abyss, you actually created your own strain of Abyss Disease... Not bad~ But you’ve filled my domain with disgusting parasitic larvae.
Next time you want to practice anything related to the Abyss, remember to communicate with me in advance."
"Understood, my Lord!"
"Moreover, the Patient you sent over before was quite good, with a strong desire for Seeking Knowledge and an efficiency in accepting darkness that was higher than other denizens of the Abyss. If it’s not too much trouble, remember to send more people to my realm."
"Yes."
With the end of the conversation, the darkness dissipated.
The Black Curtain enveloping the laboratory also slowly retracted and vanished, as if nothing had happened.
Beads of sweat as large as beans slid down the cheeks of President Burn,
Researchers previously kept outside now gathered around and immediately began examining every corner of the Ascaris laboratory, making sure there was no residue of Dark Matter.
At the same time, a company official responsible for external communications quickly arrived, "Boss, several envoys from Redundant Intestine Company are downstairs wanting to inquire about the anomaly at the headquarters and to confirm if the danger is still present.
Also, a city investigator from Lu Pu may come to inquire about the incident details and to investigate the site of the incident."
"Tell Redundant Intestine it was just an accident, the crisis has been resolved and such an incident won’t happen again. As for the investigators, when they arrive, take them directly to my office to see me, I will cooperate," said Burn.
"Yes."
President Burn had long since wiped away any temper he might have as a top-tier Parasite, now he was simply a ’law-abiding’ businessman.
The arrival of such a dangerous existence as the Tenth Abyss at Black Worm headquarters could bring a catastrophic blow to the entire city; as a member of Lu Pu, it was necessary for him to cooperate with the investigation.
"Mr. Burn, I am truly sorry..."
"Who could have anticipated that the Abyss itself would descend? The fact that it didn’t cause any harm to my company is already the best outcome," said Burn.
Although Burn didn’t say much, William still felt somewhat embarrassed. He reached into the Abyss of his abdomen and fished around for a moment before grasping something.
"Mr. Burn, consider this a compensatory gift," he said.
In his hand were seven Parasite worms, unlike ordinary Black Worms, these seven could crawl directly in space and would perform short-range teleports if not watched closely.
Moreover, the contour on their backs was spiral-shaped, giving off an aura of the Abyss.
Seeing these Parasite worms, President Burn’s eyes widened, "This is! Black Worms that have survived in the Abyss!"
"Exactly, ever since I arrived at headquarters, I noticed one thing, the Black Worms seem to have a faint affinity with the Abyss. It led me to the idea of using the Ascaris Experiment to develop the Abyss.
Luckily, out of millions of larvae, there were actually seven that survived and combined with the related Abyss Disease strain of the Tenth Abyss... These larvae originally belonged to you, so considering it as compensation should be fine, right?"
Burn was somewhat conflicted,
Black Worms related to the Abyss were unheard of in the entire Parasite community. He definitely wanted them, but he also feared that the Tenth Abyss might return.
He himself was not afraid, but he worried that the company he had built himself might be destroyed, or even worse, that the entire city of Lu Pu could fall under the influence of the Abyss.
William saw the president’s concerns and immediately made a suggestion,
"How about this, Mr. Burn. Find a few externally hired members who can adapt to the darkness, who are willing to accept the Abyss. Give the worms to them for combination.
Do not link it directly to the parent company, but instead use external contacts to let them go to the Tenth Abyss for Learning.
You might be able to develop a new line of business for your company... Even if it doesn’t turn into business, you could have a few Abyss enforcers in the future."
