The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 695 - 693: True or False

West side of the island.

At the top of an abandoned lighthouse,

Desline and Dentist Jessica decided after discussion to set foot inside and use the high vantage to survey the island’s situation.

Even if they couldn’t overview the island, they could still make contact with the stars from the high point to reduce the island’s magnetic field interference as much as possible, pinpoint Lorrian’s location, and try to find the island’s potential ’escape routes’.

However, the situation turned out to be starkly different from what they imagined, even becoming chaotically out of Desline’s control within the lighthouse.

Huff~ Huff~

Inside the lighthouse room at the very top.

’Dentist Jessica’ was upside down, deeply stabbed into the ground, her head and sternum all turned into mush from the rapid fall, thousands of teeth scattered across the lighthouse room, blending into the floor.

The murderer of the dentist was none other than Desline,

because when the two reached the room at the top of the lighthouse, Jessica had expressed her love and proposed an indescribable act right there in the lighthouse room,

Even though the dentist’s words were very euphemistic, they made Desline feel uncomfortable, and engaging in pleasures on such a dangerous island was clearly inappropriate.

The moment the principal rejected the dentist, Jessica immediately became irrationally agitated,

Spewing all sorts of grossly offensive swear words, accompanied by teeth rapidly falling out from behind the mask.

In the end, Desline used a Star Secret Technique known as ’Infinite Acceleration’ to smash Jessica alive in the lighthouse room.

But... the chaos did not end there.

"Even Jessica was ’fake’? Were we three separated right after disembarking? Or were we split up when we entered the Silver Sea Domain?

Hurry to the top to check the island’s status, we must regroup with them as soon as possible!"

Desline’s Prophet ability was blocked due to the island’s strong magnetic field, making her quite passive.

Climbing to the very top of the lighthouse to overlook the island, what emerged before her eyes was not the full view of the island but the face of a dentist! Staring at Desline atop the lighthouse, she bellowed:

"Why?! Why don’t you accept my love for you, sister? Even though I don’t disdain your human identity, I want to be with you, why did you do this to me!

I’ll give you one last chance, jump from above, into my mouth! Then we can be together forever."

Beneath the lighthouse was exactly Dentist Jessica’s large mouth, each tooth in it came to life waving dental nerves at Desline, welcoming her descent.

Upon a closer look,

the insides of Jessica’s mouth slowly became Desline’s former family, and the teeth inside became approachable family members inviting her to return.

Her thoughts became chaotic, her body involuntarily began to lean forward,

In a critical moment,

something attacked from behind, seemingly pushing her even further.

The next second,

something was injected into Desline’s neck, and the illusions, the family members, and the island-sized dentist’s head all vanished.

Desline was just a step away from falling a hundred meters from the lighthouse, where at the bottom lay several monsters with moon heads.

"What is this!"

Desline turned sharply, discovering a 1ml syringe made of enamel lodged in her carotid artery.

Dentist Jessica, wearing a mask, was standing right behind her,

"Sister, good thing I made it in time~ The vaccine production took a bit longer than expected."

"Vaccine?"

Jessica nodded, "Yes, this island is permeated with an atypical form of chaos, but it essentially is still based on the Moon Transformation Disease. As long as we understand this point, we can create a vaccine, and that’s that.

Moreover, they provided me with a fine live sample, which accelerated the vaccine’s production process."

Jessica began to outline her ordeal,

She had extensively studied William and Desline during the ’medical checkup’ before entering the Silver Sea and even left a mark inside them with bacteriophages.

As soon as the ship landed, Jessica immediately realized the two before her had been replaced by ’counterfeits’.

After a bit of an effort to kill the fakes, she used them as research samples and stayed on the beach to work on the vaccine.

Having obtained the special vaccine that could suppress the island’s illusions, and confirming they were no longer affected by the chaotic moonlight, they began following the mark to locate the two individuals.

They first found the Principal in the abandoned lighthouse.

The Principal, upon being rescued, immediately asked about the other member of the team, "Where’s William? No... I should say Mr. Yi. We must hurry and join him."

Jessica lightly tapped her incisors with her fingernails, "William’s physical sensing is very weak, as if he’s far away from us. Can’t your stargazing skill pinpoint his exact location?"

"I’ll try. It wasn’t possible at the beginning, anyway. This island itself has a strong and chaotic magnetic field, which severely affects my stargazing skill.

Standing at a high point now, I might be able to connect with the stars."

Desline’s body gradually floated into the air, and the miniature celestial bodies within her also orbited around her.

The influence of the magnetic field was still strong, but this time she wasn’t divining; she was simply sensing William’s location, feeling the ’Platinum Blood’ flowing in his veins.

When her starry eyes opened, her gaze fell on the center of the island. Although from afar it was obscured by numbers and ruins, Desline could vaguely make out a pit—a pit that could reveal the island’s secrets.

"This way!"

"Let’s go."

As the two of them descended the lighthouse, Dentist Jessica reached out to hold Desline’s hand, who trembled due to the previous ordeals, but eventually accepted it.

With the vaccine at work, the illusions were greatly suppressed, and the accumulation of chaos inside their bodies slowed down significantly.

The ’monsters’ they encountered along the way were actually not threatening,

each of them wandering around the island with a lunar-structured skull, doing some simple things.

But without the vaccine’s effect, if the chaos value accumulated within an individual’s consciousness was too high, these monsters would begin to sense it, and through their lunar faces, they would reflect moonlight, forming illusionary areas and performing acts to plunge individuals into deeper chaos.

Without any interference from moonlight and chaos, the two soon arrived at the center of the island.

The pit that Desline had sensed indeed existed.

To be precise, it should be called a Moon Crater.

When seeing the Moon Crater, not obscured by trees or ruins, truly revealed before her, Desline instantly understood everything!

Why the sky above the Silver Sea Domain had no moon yet was bathed in moonlight,

why there were no records of this mysterious island on any map, as if it had appeared out of thin air,

Now everything was explained,

It was the "Moon in Water."

The Moon, for some reason, had sunk between the vast seas, completely submerged within, with only a small part of its top emerging above the surface to form an island,

the sea surrounding it dyed silver on contact with the Moon, forcibly breaking away from Fish Origin’s control.

In front of them, the Moon Crater held a passageway leading into the depths, where William’s aura lay below.

"Jessica, let’s go!"

Just then,

the handholding that had been maintained was suddenly let go, as Jessica withdrew her hand and stood still, merely raising her right arm to wave goodbye.

"Sister, go down by yourself~ I am not yet qualified to go to the Master’s Demon Cave. The Master has changed his mind temporarily and asked me to bring you here. Hurry down~ It seems there’s something very interesting to show you."

As the voice faded,

the once normal Dentist Jessica had now turned into a moon-faced figure, and Desline hurriedly touched her neck, finding no puncture wound from a syringe.

A wave of intense confusion instantly flooded her brain,

Desline stared into the Moon Crater passage before her, her thoughts unable to discern truth from falsehood,

her consciousness became hazy, her body like an animated corpse, following some incredibly twisted rhythm as she stepped into it, unaware of what awaited her.

...

In fact, Desline’s experiences were not entirely false.

The vaccine did exist, and the Dentist Jessica in the first half of the journey was real, but as they approached the Moon Crater, the ’activities’ from inside exceeded the suppressive range of the vaccine.

Dentist Jessica, by grinding her teeth, barely managed to stabilize herself,

and when she came to her senses, the Principal was nowhere to be seen...
