The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 705 - 703: Loyalty Test

Seeing such a perfect nurse form, even Lorrian was excited enough to stand up!

"’Chaos Transformation’ can yield stable results, but the outcomes are often random and disordered... To coincidentally form a Blood Cross just like Fana’s?

Was it your guidance, William, or was it this little nurse’s own thought?"

William didn’t respond immediately. A trickle of blood ran from his nostril. He shook his head violently to regain consciousness.

"...Whoa! I only provided some guidance through Madness Brain, but I didn’t expect such a strong backlash from the chaos.

That~ Blood Cross feature was my guidance, after all, I’ve seen Doctor Fana’s demeanor on the beach.

This kind of chaotic attribute seems more suitable for medical staff, and it also makes it easier for your management, Lorrian. Maybe it wouldn’t be bad to form an exclusive treatment troop called ’Blood Cross’ within your hospital in the future."

Lorrian gazed at William with his Moon Eyes; after a long look, he finally spoke,

"Fortunately... Fortunately, Mr. Galon persuaded me to let go of my hatred and not to harbor any killing intent towards you. If I had really killed you, we wouldn’t have such good progress.

You’re indeed the person I once valued. You seem to be quite injured; do you need a rest or will you continue to help me guide the other nurses?"

William hastily raised his hand, "Wait a minute~ Lorrian, why are you getting a bit anxious? Let me try to remove the nurse’s Madness Brain connection first, so you don’t feel I’m playing any tricks."

"Sure."

As the little nurse slowly descended from the air, the bandages that had been fluttering around her body all retracted back into the spinal gaps or wrapped around her arms, returning to a normal appearance.

Compared to before,

The bandages no longer wrapped around the face,

Instead, a ’Blood Red Cross’ made of blood-vessel-like stripes entwined with chaos attributes had become the facial ’organ’.

This fleshy cross could sensitively receive all external information, facilitating her nursing work and better suppressing the more unruly patients.

"I really... succeeded. Thank you, Principal. Thank you, teacher."

Hearing the nurse put him before William, a flicker of satisfaction crossed Lorrian’s face.

William came to face the nurse, looking straight at her facial cross, "Next, I will end our teacher-student relationship to avoid affecting your work at the clinic."

As William spoke, sensitive spots immediately protruded from the nurse’s facial Blood Cross, and her hands clenched together.

"Teacher... Our relationship will absolutely not affect my work here, please don’t..."

"Whether it affects is not for me to say."

William reached out and grasped the nurse’s head. Strands of dark aura penetrated inward, forcibly erasing the [Madness] from the surface of the brain tissue.

But barely had he erased part of it when the nurse’s body began to convulse wildly,

Her body was bleeding profusely, and there were even signs that her brain might be torn apart again.

This was enough to show that the Madness inscription was not merely for guidance, but played a ’stabilizing role’ in the entire chaotic integration.

However, William did not stop. Since he had promised to remove the Madness inscription afterward, he intended to see it through, even if it could mean the little nurse might die.

Just as the nurse’s physical body was about to collapse, Lorrian, who had been standing at a distance, took a step to their side and gently rested a hand on William’s elbow to stop his action.

"Enough, let’s keep the relationship between you two for the time being~ I will personally examine this little nurse’s mental state to see if she is more loyal to you or to me."

"Are you sure, Lorrian? This is your person. Having her tainted with my influence might not be easy to control.

My ’education’ is used to motivate the individual’s desire for knowledge, but they will also revere me as their teacher... The relation is like a student going to school, Lorrian, you are the student’s parent, and I am the headteacher, it will have some influence, more or less."

"Of course, I’m sure, otherwise I wouldn’t have stopped you."

Seeing this, William ceased erasing the Madness inscription,

The little nurse collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, and it even seemed as if her facial Blood Cross shed droplets similar to tears, making her appear exceedingly weak.

"I will personally verify the extent of your Madness Brain’s influence~ This experiment ends here for today. William, you can go back and rest.

If it’s really feasible, I might have a big project to entrust to you, William.

As long as you truly assist me, I will, of course, take part in your circus performance wholeheartedly, helping you to collect the so-called Fear.

A win-win cooperation; that’s the best scenario."

Lorrian grabbed the limp nurse and dragged her to the basement, where he would perform a one-on-one ’Brain in a Vat’ connection to test her loyalty.

...

William’s face bore a smile throughout his journey back to his residence, even broadening it to an unnaturally large grin when he was in some deserted corners,

There was no need for testing; William had long known the outcome,

His education was not enslavement but rather the addition of a relationship that would never overshadow the original master-servant dynamic of the individual.

Even the Second Body embedded in the spine area slowly crept up to his shoulder; Yi Chen sensed an interesting aura,

"William, you’re getting worse by the day~ seizing the chance to infiltrate the Moon, you want to carve up this ’chaos’."

"I never considered carving up chaos; this completely uncontrollable attribute, although it could enhance an individual comprehensively and even improve their foundational potential.

But something unstable and prone to loss of control is not something I wish to add to my system. I’ve only just encountered the tip of the iceberg of the Abyss, and adding another uncontrollable attribute would be troublesome.

I was simply seizing the chance to strengthen my connection with Lorrian.

However, Yi Chen, you could give it a try, your Death and Killings are chaotic already, getting a bit more chaotic shouldn’t matter, right?"

"Let’s talk about that later~ Someone’s coming for you."

The Second Body withdrew, curling back into the groove of the spine,

Soon a familiar voice approached from the side, "William, it seems your relationship with Lorrian is mending quite smoothly; you’re smiling so happily."

William glanced sideways to see Desline, clad in a black nightgown, descending from the surface of the Moon back inside.

"Principal!"

"I’ve already decoded the Moon’s magnetic field and can leave at any time. However, seeing you now, it seems there’s no need for evacuation."

"If all goes well, in a few days the Moon will rise from the sea, and Lorrian will assist me in launching the Circus’s performance; when the timing is right... I’ll be ready to launch a total assault on the Mysterious Skin Factory."

"That soon?"

"The oral report naturally omits many details, and there are unpredictable factors along the way.

In any case, the sooner, the better. At the very least, I need to kill those unstable Blood citizens to prevent danger to the Organization after World Infection.

Moreover, I have an arrangement with someone; I need to acquire ownership of the Skin Factory. As long as I can bring him to the Skin Factory, I’ll be able to obtain partial control."

"Take it easy yourself; rushing things isn’t a good idea~ Anyway, when you’re really ready to launch a total attack, the Organization will provide full support."

"Great! By the way, when the Moon rises from the sea, Principal, where do you plan to go? Would you like to join me for a tour performance?"

As William said this, he subconsciously curled Desline’s little finger with his own.

However, she gently shook it free,

"As the only ’Stargazer’ in the human world, I must stay here to share the Star Maps I’ve observed, the Star Formations I’ve browsed, and the insights into the movement of the stars with those old folks from the Old World. Otherwise, they’ll go mad from their inability to observe the stars.

Moreover, those old folks will continue to provide ancient Star Particles as ’wages,’ and I need these ancient Star Particles to create my own ’children’."

As she spoke, Desline pressed her body fully against his, feeling the contours of her body even through the gown,

And whispered in his ear,

"Once the World Infection ends, my ’children’ will be formed, and I’ll become a true Stargazer. Then I can join you to tour the world, which should be soon enough, right?"

"Sure, there’s always a spot here for the Principal."

"By the way! That Parasite in your head can’t hear our conversation, right?"

"It’s been blocked."

Desline gently brushed her index finger over William’s lips and under his nose, picking up a tinge of blood, then slipped it into her mouth and lightly sucked on it.

"You’ve overexerted your brain power~ It seems you’ve done quite a bit for that Lorrian, and you’ll probably need to continue helping him afterward.

Come on~ let’s go to the bathroom; I’ll help you rejuvenate your spirits."

"Thank you, Principal."
