The Last Gentleman-Chapter 724: Evil

William had planned for his future physical form while progressing through the "Silver Turbidity,"

He had intended to follow the path of a Shaper, which is to reconstruct the human body based on his own thoughts. However, during the actual transformation process, he found that the spine did not need much modification and that there was even space leftover.

Thats when he came up with the concept of a "Second Body,"

William made a bold decision: since he had two independent consciousnesses within him and Yi Chen wasnt as evil as he had imagined, and they were even starting to communicate,

why not create a "spare body" in the empty space on his back?

When needed, he could try letting Yi Chens consciousness inhabit this spare body and fight as a clone.

In extremely dangerous situations that might lead to death, he could even abandon the main body and rely on the spare body to escape.

However, when creating the spare body, William built it in a reverse direction;rather than refining every part of the body to perfection like the Complete Shaper main body,

there were numerous defects present.

Having no mouth was just a superficial issue,

many frames and organs were not adequately developed,

Under normal circumstances, the Second Body could only survive in a symbiotic state with Williams main body, tucked into a slot on his back;once separated, it would have problems even standing and would die quickly.

William created such a reverse, imperfect, opposite Second Body mainly considering Yi Chens traits,

In Williams view, a genius like Yi Chen might not be suitable for a predefined perfect frame;on the contrary, a naturally defective body with the potential for diverse development would be more appropriate for him, more fitting for the embedding of death.

Now, with the acceptance of the Purple Lung,

the already imperfect body easily integrated this special external organ, attaining some kind of organ completion.

As Yi Chen took a deep breath, a purple mist was exhaled,

Even though his body was in a state of hemiplegia, he felt revitalized, his spirit seemingly better than before.

However, William did not look at Yi Chen but focused on the newly installed Purple Lung, sensing that the old mans consciousness had not fully dissipated.

"Senior, now that youve become the Purple Lung, how will those Gu Dragon Patients proceed? Is there a direct passage in the Lung Temple that connects to other worlds or leads straight to your Immortal Palace?"

As expected, the old mans consciousness, still within the Purple Lung, responded through an unattached trachea,

"Of course, once I abandon my incarnation and become the Purple Lung, the citys barrier will gradually fade away. The passage set in the Lung Temple will open on its own, and they will pass through it to reach my Immortal Palace.

If you hurry now, you might still catch up."

William, however, had no intention of going to the Immortal Palace. Instead, he changed the subject, "Senior, you havent left anything out for me, have you?"

"Ive given you everything, rare items for the Main Material Plane like the Commanders Seal and the Purple Lung, which is the crystallization of my incarnation. My consciousness is about to vanish;what else could I possibly withhold from you? If youre referring to the Breathing Skill, youre welcome to come and learn it at my Immortal Palace anytime."

"Senior, a True God like yourself pretending to be confused? My Abyss perspective allows me to see more. It seems that the park is littered with the booty from our slaying of the urban legends."

With those words, the elder remained silent.

It took several seconds for him to slowly respond, "That is the Evil residue left by malicious thoughts. Touching such things can corrupt you with malice;let them disappear along with the city."

At this moment, Yi Chen, who had not spoken much, suddenly interjected.

"Old thing, we risked complete death to accomplish this slaying, and now you want us to leave without any spoils? Do you really think were here to labor for free?

Besides, if William does become corrupted with evil, Ill be the first to behead him. You dont need to worry and prattle on about it here."

To say the least, the temperament of this Lung God was indeed accommodating, as he still did not get angry, "Alright then, if you truly wish to touch that kind of thing, go ahead now.

Take advantage of the fact that this city has not yet collapsed, while the old mans consciousness has not completely vanished.

I want to see if you two really have the ability to control even the last remnants of evil thoughts."

The two returned to the park interior, littered with the wreckage of the Dark Moon. Lorrian, who had been atop the high-rise building, immediately followed suit;he too wanted to see what kind of spoils came from slaying an entity that resembled a concept.

In the center of the lake covered by the Dark Moon, fragments of a shattered black Crystal floated in mid-air, surrounded by swirling black mists that intermittently revealed hideously grotesque faces the Evil mentioned by the elder.

William had no idea what use this thing could serve.

As the entire city trembled, the old mans consciousness was almost disintegrating, and there was no time to ask anymore.

With a quick stride, William stepped forward and reached out to grab the fragmented black Crystal in front of all witnesses,

only to find he couldnt grasp it at all!

When his fingers touched the damaged black Crystal, it immediately shattered into dust and burrowed into Williams body. His Abyss Body, which was adept at absorbing everything, made such penetration even more achievable.

Evil thoughts invaded and spread among his thoughts.

Hum!

Williams consciousness was brought to a dark, silent city street, where street lamps flickered incessantly and the ground was splattered with bloodstains and fragments of limbs.

The Human Body Collector, Daria Miko, lay in a pool of blood, her head chopped off.

Unfortunately, William was holding a blood-stained cleaver in his hand.

Clearly, this was the ending scene of a story, but William had no idea why he had come to this place, until a voice filled with malice echoed in his head.

"Congratulations on killing the Human Body Collector. Although she hadnt been Evil for long, she was indeed a decent story carrier.

Ending the urban legend in this way is not bad, as it successfully shifted the readers interest onto this mysterious murderer.

As a reward, you will receive a Sin Reward.

Reach into Darias corpse to draw a lottery. You will randomly receive one piece of important object related to the story carrier as a reward.

This time the reward will be one of three choices, including Collectors Spoon, Exhibit Overcoat, and All Human Concentrates Collected So Far.

In addition, you have a small chance of obtaining a hidden Reward."

William didnt immediately comply with the instructions of others but first asked, "Who are you?"

"I am just the Story Narrator, you neednt concern yourself with my existence. You have just the last thirty seconds remaining to make your choice."

From the perspective of the Abyss, William attempted to find the source of the voice but discovered that the current Consciousness Space was entangled with evil thoughts, and the voice was transmitted from a different place through malice, possibly even from the distant Main Material Plane.

Since he was sure no one else was here, William tried to collect his spoils.

Corpse lottery,

William didnt reach into the Collectors body cavity, but instead moved toward the nearby dropped head, reaching in between the neck and the cranial cavity to feel around.

In Williams view, all three rewards were good, but the most threatening spoon was probably the best.

As he pulled out the entire brain,

the already dead brain reconfigured in his hands, turning into a cheap storybook often found in newsstands, with only one story printed on it.

"Urban Legend Human Body Collector (Complete Edition including Prequel Story)"

"Youre really lucky to have drawn the hidden Reward! Make sure to use it well, because if not, it may backfire on you.

See you later, young man."

Soon, the sound of police sirens filled the air, and blue and red police lights lit up every corner,

As numerous police cars entered the crime scene street, far-off lights also shone onto Williams face, the white light occupying his entire field of vision, Hum!

William suddenly woke up,

His Abyss state had long been released,

He lay on an iron bed by the window in a hospital room,

A chill came from beside the pillow, and turning his head, he saw the storybook exuding an evil aura lying right beside his pillow.
