The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 698 - 696: Heart Knot

The voice had not even faded.

The pitch-black axe, spinning at high speed, flew straight towards Lorrian’s head.

Just as it was about to strike, a high-speed, red high heel kicked horizontally.

Ding!

A crisp clashing sound echoed in the underground laboratory, hitting the surface of the axe and forcing it to change its trajectory, nearly brushing past the ear and embedding itself in the wall beside him.

The high heel slowly retracted, corresponding to the legs of the female doctor, maintaining their original elegant stance.

Lorrian’s sitting posture did not change as he stared with his Moon Eyes, slowly speaking word by word, "Mr. Yi truly is a special deceased, being able to recover fifty to sixty percent of his strength just after awakening from the Brain in a Vat.

I even began to wonder whether you or William is the real entity?"

Yi Chen did not answer, but instead spoke of something else.

"It’s no wonder you were William’s old flame; the scene design and the new concept of chaos level were splendid. The island landing’s real-fake combination was very impressive.

However, in terms of monster diversity and varied scenes, there could have been a few more modifications. Let me play again after the update?

The rest of this boring pretend play, I will not join you in~ See you next time, Moon Boy, if you feel like it, come and visit the Aquarium again."

Yi Chen waved his hands in farewell, his head also suddenly bowed down.

When he raised his head again, the death that had filled his pupils had dissipated, returning to normal and affable bright eyes,

as if he had just awakened from sleep, stretching his arms as William took over the body.

"Whew~ Thanks, Lorrian, for arranging such a grand drama of reality and illusion for us; everyone seems to have had a great time.

Speaking of which, Lorrian, when did you pull us into the Illusion Realm?"

"You walked into the trap yourselves; I didn’t need to actively pull you in."

Principal Daislin answered from the side, "The island is part of the Moon that surfaces from the water. As soon as we saw the island, it was like directly looking at the Moon, and the Illusion Realm naturally formed."

"Impressive as ever, Stargazer,"

The main purpose of Daislin’s visit was to bring Galon back, and her gaze naturally fell on the center of the laboratory, connected to the tub - the ’Brain in a Vat.’

"Is this... Galon’s brain?"

Lorrian shook his finger, "Oh no no~ Has the moon’s magnetic field affected your stargazing abilities? I wouldn’t place Mr. Galon’s precious, tempting, and perfect brain in such a place.

This is merely a ’Chaotic Brain’ extracted from a monster in Mr. Galon’s dream-connected world, transformed into ’Brain in a Vat’ after undergoing stability modifications and silver-plating.

This serves as the epicenter of the real Illusion Realm, bringing you this true-yet-false journey of island landing.

Of course, you are the only subjects under the Brain in a Vat experiment system to have survived.

All other creatures that entered the Brain in a Vat completely succumbed to chaos and even underwent external physical decomposition and genetic reassembly, transforming into a puddle of primordial flesh."

"Alright."

Since Galon was not this brain, Daislin did not ask further.

After all, they were still in a passive state; it was better to let William, who knew Lorrian better, handle the discussion.

"Are you going to kill me, Lorrian?"

Unexpectedly, William’s sudden question nearly caused Daislin to choke on a mouthful of seawater.

However, Lorrian’s expression did not change much, "Why would I kill you? I’m not that petty,

I was indeed very angry about Zion; after all, you forcefully took control of the fused body, not to mention having Yi tie me up in the depths of the Aquarium, bound by iron chains.

But when I returned to the Moon, I found that you, William, had sent me an enormous gift, one that I had never contemplated before.

After thoroughly examining Mr. Galon’s body, after completing a full-body surgery on him, after we had a long talk over three days and nights,

I finally realized that there is a better answer in this world than you."

"As long as Mr. Yi’s proficiency is verified, the knot in my heart will be untied. Mr. Yi is really impressive, even more interesting than you, William, in some aspects. But now, none of that matters."

"Did you merge with Galon, Lorrian?"

"Yes, the true illusion you experienced is a higher, more refined form of new illusion technique called ’Illusion Dream Realm,’ which I created after combining with Mr. Galon.

And the Moon God you saw inside is our divine form~

Poor Mr. Galon, he’s never been able to sleep well. From the time he accepted my offer, he was able to sleep soundly and experience the happiness of dreaming again, regaining his freedom."

Furthermore, the two of us can chat in dreams, and Mr. Galon can help me manage that chaotic world when he wakes."

This statement eased Principal Daislin, who was clenching her fists nearby,

She knew well how pitiable Galon was, his torturous life and insomnia had long deprived him of the will to live; he continued working for the organization out of duty as a gentleman,

even sacrificing his freedom to become the First Gentleman.

Now not only is he saved and able to sleep normally, but he has regained his freedom; perhaps ’the Moon’ is truly where Galon belongs.

William thought the same,

"If it’s Mr. Galon’s choice, then there’s nothing to discuss. We should thank you for allowing Mr. Galon to continue living and regain his qualification to sleep.

I came all the way here to apologize... and I also brought a ’gift,’ which I believe, Lorrian, you have already received."

William looked towards the fourth bathtub connected to the Brain in a Vat,

Soaking in it was the deep-sea patient who had been trailing everyone, a bald woman with a dried-up octopus structure below her waist, Kexia.

"Hmm! I’ll accept your gift. This deep-sea patient with dream capabilities is perfect. Properly modified, she could certainly become a valuable assistant,

and, the dreamscapes merged with the deep sea are also of great research value."

"By the way, is this dentist also one of the gifts? I have high hopes for her; managing to create a vaccine within the dreamscape certainly counters the chaos effectively."

William did not back down, firmly responding, "No, a Silver Circle patient personally cultivated by Fish Origin should be enough for a welcome gift, right?

Miss Jessica is a good friend of mine; she was just curious about your clinic and decided to come take a look. You two can discuss medical topics later.

As long as you, Lorrian, harbor no malice, we don’t mind staying on your island for a few more days." freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Of course, I bear no malice; guest rooms are already prepared for you—come with me."

William stepped out of the bathtub, his gentleman’s clothes immediately shedding all the seawater,

He led the way, walking shoulder-to-shoulder with Lorrian.

"Lorrian, you immersed the Moon in seawater, turned a vast expanse of the ocean silver, even making this marine region break away from Fish Origin’s control... Are you intending to use the marine life here as research material, or do you want to incorporate them into your ’Illusion Dream Realm’ you created?"

"Both."

"Fish Origin seems quite angry; he’s also given us a favor, hoping we could kill you or bring him some clues about the silver sea."

"Will you do it? William, or perhaps you have some tricks I don’t know of, planning to kill me?"

As Lorrian asked this, the female doctor by his side tensed her calves, ready to kick at any moment.

"Of course not; Fish Origin just happens to have a feud with a friend of mine from the Old World. If you don’t mind, I could even help you kill that guy instead," William said.

"Kill the Plague Master? Big talk, William."

"We’re still young~ Besides, Lorrian, you’re frighteningly powerful now."

William attempted to rest his palm on Lorrian’s shoulder,

Just as he was going to, a pane of moonlight glass, thin and elliptical, appeared out of nowhere, exactly blocking William’s hand.

Crack!

The glass shattered,

and William’s entire palm ripped along with it.
