The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 778 - 776 Great Prison Monk

The private standalone building located in the central square area,

is the property of the "Great Prison Monk—’Princess’, Angelica Falon."

Great Prison Monks often live in the deep layers of monastery prisons, tasked with overseeing particularly troublesome prisoners and using some of the strong prisoners with unique illnesses for some secretive experiments.

Yet this "Princess" mainly manages the surface affairs, thus maintaining a luxurious property in the public area.

Being female and known as ’Under the King’, the Ancestor Primordial Body—Lia Roman has certain connections with this "Princess" from ancient times; despite several centuries apart, their relationship remains good.

Yi Chen and Nash had just stepped into the estate when they saw a portrait several hundred inches in size.

It depicted a fair-faced woman resembling a Nordic fairy,

distinct in that she was not bald but had naturally curly blond hair, adorned with a headband woven like grass vines.

Her emerald green eyes were looking at everyone in the hall.

Mother Lia said tenderly,

"Feel free to choose any comfortable room as your own, even if it’s already picked by my daughters, they don’t mind sharing with you.

Moreover,

Angelica seems to be quite interested in Mr. Yi as well; she will come over once she’s done with her affairs, and then we can sit together and talk, shall we? I suppose Mr. Yi has some needs to attend to at the Monastery; perhaps getting on good terms with Angelica in advance could make things a lot easier later on."

"Sure, see you later."

With just a deep breath, Yi Chen had discerned the structure of the entire estate and headed straight for the vacant room at the end.

"Nash, we’ll stay together for a while, just in case something unexpected happens."

"Got it, Boss Yi!"

The guest room design also bore the style of the Monastery; seemingly ordinary rooms contained strange accessories and various hidden buttons.

For example, an Iron Virgin was placed in the corner,

the lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling could descend in the form of curved hooks, with six of them corresponding to a person’s limbs and shoulder blades; impaling a body would display it spread-eagled.

The bedside table had a mechanical button; a light touch could turn the bed into a bathtub full of sharp needles, and coupled with the hooks from the ceiling, it appears one could enjoy an impromptu bright red bath.

Additionally, there was a hidden button in the corner of the wall, activating a completely sealed compartment draped with torture devices; though it hadn’t been used in a long time, one could still smell a strong stench of blood.

"These guys really pushed the body to the limit..."

Yi Chen was not averse; he didn’t sense any malice. Everything here was just catering to the theme of ’Physical’.

As Nash fiddled with the handcuff-like tool on the bedside, he said, "Boss Yi, the Monastery is indeed unparalleled on a physical level. Perhaps they can mend your missing ’Physical Concept’ without resorting to death."

Yi Chen shook his head, rejecting the idea, "I won’t consider it. My own body must be controlled by myself."

"Alright then."

After inspecting the room for a while,

Ding!

A sharp piercing noise suddenly rang in Yi Chen’s ears. Despite the great distance, the sound was clear and blood flowed from their ears; merely hearing it was enough to rupture their eardrums and cause intense pain. Clearly, a powerful figure was approaching.

"The current Great Prison Monk? Since we’re staying at someone else’s place, we should go out to welcome them, Nash."

"Sure thing, boss!"

When the two arrived at the hall,

all nine of Mother Lia’s daughters were already there, with blood flowing from their ears, and even the octopus legs attached to their thighs were twisted together as they endured the pain as much as possible. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

At the main entrance of the hall, a slender figure in a long dress was slowly approaching, and with each step, the ’high heels’ struck the ground, making a sharp sound.

Upon closer inspection, the so-called ’Princess’ indeed matched the portrait in the hall, with a delicate, fairy-like complexion and naturally curly blonde hair.

However, the hair was obviously a wig, and her beauty was limited to what was within the portrait’s frame,

Looking down at the Princess’s body, one would find her skin, muscle tissues, and even her internal organs were all completely peeled open,

then stitched together with metal wires similar to plant roots, edged and decorated to form a ’self-contained dress’

With every step she took, the organs hanging inside the dress like fruit would swing accordingly,

Not only was her skin and flesh peeled away to serve as a ’long dress’,

but the exposed bone surface was also full of tiny holes, into which servants would regularly insert fine needles for painful massages.

The Princess’s ankles and soles remained unchanged, except for a special long nail piercing her heels, intricately engraved with various secret scripts, causing a grating sound with each step.

"Angelica! It’s been a long time. You’re still as beautiful as ever!"

As the mother from the octopus ancestor, Lia immediately went forward and embraced the Princess,

During the embrace, Lia extended her ample octopus tentacles and tightly wound them around the other, only releasing after a sound of crushing vertebrae was heard.

However, the pain from the crushed spine caused the Princess’s face to beam with happiness, and she looked just like a princess from a fairy tale embracing her prince.

"Wow! Lia, your massaging techniques are still the same, really comfortable! Make sure to keep me company tonight~"

"Don’t worry~ I’ve already slept for several days in advance."

At this point, the Princess, resting her head on Lia’s shoulder, turned her gaze toward Yi Chen, who emitted no aura of plague.

"This must be Mr. Yi. I’ve already received your physical inspection information. It’s really unimpressive, with a concept deficiency exceeding 50% and yet you still manage to live ’healthily’, even making a special trip to return the Great Prison Monk’s identity card to us.

Obviously, you must want to restore the lost concepts of your body. Am I right?

The Suffering Monastery is indeed the area where physical research of the Old World is most in-depth, but there has never been a history of restoring more than 50% of concept deficiencies.

If it were just a finger, that would be easy to say, but yours is far too severe.

However~ if you are willing to cooperate with us, willing to make a certain contribution to the Monastery, we would be willing to try our best to repair your concept deficiency."

Yi Chen immediately grasped the hidden meaning behind these words.

"No... I indeed want to restore my body, but I do not wish to rely on others. After all, it’s my own body; I don’t like others to meddle with it.

I came to the Monastery only to meet someone."

"Big Brother Yi... aren’t you being too blunt~" Nash became nervous on the side, wishing that William could appear at that moment to take over the conversation.

"Who?"

Even Mother Lia turned her head curiously, wanting to know the answer to this question.

"The former leader of the Death Plague Knights."

The moment Yi Chen mentioned this title,

a stream of bright red blood flowed out from between the ’Princess’s’ eyes. Her entire face seemed as if it was going to be propped up by the internal metal to reveal its true face, and even the wig on her head was about to be lifted and fall off.

Smelling the death aura emanating from Yi Chen’s skin, the Princess instantly understood his real intent.

"It’s impossible... Even the Great Prison Monks cannot visit this person alone.

Besides, that man was assessed to be completely insane long ago, even during the assessment he killed a Great Prison Monk, and was executed over a hundred years ago.

For so many years the lowest layer has been permanently closed, forbidden for anyone to set foot in."

"Oh." Yi Chen simply responded with a single word.

"I warn you! If you harbor thoughts of delving deeper into the prison, once we discover it, even if you have submitted the identity card of the Great Prison Monk, you will be sentenced and locked up inside."

"Understood."
