Perhaps because she went to bed early last night, Jin woke up before dawn, her body fully relaxed.
In fact, she had been rather bored for about three days now.
The quality of the chanical Maids had noticeably declined recently, making the slaughter sowhat tedious. The only reason she hadn’t left was that she wanted to stay with Yi Chen here.
She observed Yi Chen every day, curious to see when he would stop growing.
Rising from the bench, Jin fastened only the middle button of her shirt.
Barefoot, she walked across the cold floor to where Yi Chen was sleeping, crouched down, and stared at the young man in front of her.
Jin’s black profession, Human Body Weapons Master, combined with Extre Breakthrough, Red Lotus Characteristic, and the Cancer Palace Relic, had tamorphosed into a new profession:
≮Cancer Maker≯
This profession granted Jin a regenerative and explosive power beyond her rank;
thanks to her Professional Characteristics, she could easily pass the Executioner’s assessnt.
When dealing with lower-level individuals, a light touch of her finger was enough to spread cancer cells throughout their body, turning them into a horrific living cancer bomb.
According to the Cancer Palace, the potential of “cancer” was infinite and would amplify indefinitely based on the individual’s talent, strength, and creativity.
“William~ I thought I could outpace you for a while, but I didn’t expect you to progress so fast~ I’m actually a bit jealous.”
Jin extended her finger, lightly touching Yi Chen’s chin.
Tiny lumps of flesh imdiately began forming at his chin, accumulating rapidly.
During this process, Yi Chen’s eyes gradually opened and fixed on Jin who was performing these ‘mischief.’
“What are you doing?”
“Ah? I thought you were asleep… It’s nothing much! These days they haven’t provided well-rounded als, which isn’t good for your health, so I am creating so nutrients for you.
It’ll be done soon!”
As the tumor on his chin grew larger and shone brightly from the surface…pop! The tumor burst internally, and a nutritious pus filled with a solution poured directly into Yi Chen’s mouth.
One would have thought it’d be disgusting, but it actually carried a faint floral scent.
Seeing how naturally Yi Chen swallowed the tumor’s nutrients, Jin suddenly realized sothing,
“Hey! You weren’t just pretending to be asleep the other nights when I fed you, were you?”
“Pretending no, just ditating.” Yi Chen gently tapped his head with his finger, “Ever since my Extre Breakthrough, I’ve been able to regulate my sleep, allowing my brain to enter a state of optimal deep sleep. I only need about two hours a day. The rest of the ti I use for ditation, to review the day’s battles.”
Jin slightly lifted her mask, touching her nose to Yi Chen’s forehead.
While the gesture seed affectionate, Jin was actually trying to spread her own brain tumor to Yi Chen, curious to see how remarkable his brain truly was.
As soon as the tumor began to spread, it was repelled by a force.
“Wow! What a terrific brain… my brain cancer can’t infect it. William, when the ti cos, co with
to the Cancer Palace, the teacher will definitely be interested in you too.
Didn’t Prophet Yuri say it? Zion won’t last much longer, let’s start preparing to run away sooner rather than later?”
Yi Chen imdiately shook his head, “It’s not that dire, I still plan to wait until the last mont before leaving, as I have many things yet to do.
Jin, your Skin Volu still seems very low, not considering Restriction Removal?”
“No… I was never interested in Skin from the start.
The teacher told , once I’ve squeezed all remaining value from the organization, and the Grey Zone has fully spread, she’ll personally perform a Physical Washing on . She will remove all parts of my body related to Skin, turning
into a full mber of the Cancer Palace.
Then, I will achieve Restriction Removal through physical cancer mutation.”
“That could work.”
“Oh! When can we invite Reagan, that chubby guy, and go out for so fun? It’s so boring staying in the city all the ti… Strong as Yuri is, he won’t drive us to extinction, never giving us a taste of true desperation.”
“Perhaps you don’t need to go out to satisfy your craving.”
“How to satisfy it?”
“Initiate Dreaming, but we need to discuss this with Reagan first, then find a suitable place to enter the dream and have adequate safety asures.
Reagan’s Power Station might just be the right place.”
“Nightmares, huh! Why don’t we go find Reagan right now then! I’m already getting sick of these maids here.”
Jin grabbed Yi Chen’s arm and began to pull forcefully.
The sudden physical contact made Yi Chen glance at the spot where her arm touched his,
noticing that Jin’s loosely buttoned shirt was still wearing a specially made chest binder, designed to reduce encumbrance during combat.
“Hey~ you should button your clothes properly… your buttons are all wrong.
I still have a deal to make with Prophet Yuri. How about this~ I’ll go talk to Yuri first, and when the deal is done, we can head together to the Power Station?”
“Sure.”
[5:00 AM]
Prophet House’s resting room.
Yuri, having adjusted his wheelchair to a lying position, stared with eyes wide as copper bells.
Just thinking about the decline of his maid reserves by more than half, and even nearing paralysis because of two newcors, he was so uncomfortable that he couldn’t sleep, welcoming a long-lost bout of insomnia. Even the killing aura throughout the room was utterly chaotic, with the walls full of cuts from the aura’s trajectory.
“Sleep my ass! Send people away.”
Eventually unable to hold it back, before dawn broke, Yuri directly unlocked the seals on his legs and personally headed to the Duel Arena.
Walking along the spiral staircase,
Yuri continuously concocted words that could send people away without losing his Prophet Identity, even muttering softly to practice in advance.
Unexpectedly, almost simultaneous footsteps ca from below,
and the two people Yuri had thought about all night were also ascending the spiral staircase at this ti, eting his gaze.
“Mr. Yuri, so early!”
“Hmm~ Seeing you’ve been downstairs for so long, I was worried you were just stubbornly enduring. I specifically ca early to check on your physical condition. If you fall ill under my care, that woman Desline will co to cause trouble.
You look quite well now;
are you preparing to leave?
My storage room still has many special maids not yet brought out, won’t you stay a bit longer?”
“It’s about ti, let’s discuss our trade with Mr. Yuri next.”
“Sure! Follow , and Jin Alda can go back first.”
As he watched Jin’s figure leave the Prophet House, Yuri finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly signaled his personal maid to lock the front door.
Yi Chen was led to an enclosed chanical Workshop,
and as he shed his outer coat,
a body with oddly distributed muscles and faint black luster between the lines appeared, stunning Prophet Yuri on the spot. After over ten days of intense killing refinent,
Yi Chen’s body seed to ascend another tier, becoming even more perfect and flawless under the nourishnt and envelopnt of the killing aura.
“Co on~ hurry and lie down.”
All the worries and fatigue from staying up all night vanished the mont Yuri saw that body, even almost drooling from excitent.
“I might do so cutting, then install so chanical devices around so joints and organs for internal examination;
you’ll have to bear with it.”
“Mr. Yuri, do whatever you need;
it doesn’t bother .”
Looking at the clean, disinfected instrunts in the chanical Workshop, far better than the rusty, old instrunts that Zede used in his office, which were never washed even after cutting many bodies.
“Need anesthesia?”
“Not necessary;
I’m used to being cut open directly. It often happens in teacher Zede’s place.”
As relaxing music to ease the tension played in the workshop,
Yuri skillfully dissected Yi Chen’s body like a pianist, with the latter also enjoying the process.
Gradually, the two even began chatting.
“Mr. Yuri~ the results of the Prophet group’s investigation into nightmares must be out by now, ten days since the assembly eting at the Swan School.”
“They are.”
“How is it? Can you find the Root and identify the specific threats?”
“We can’t find the Root yet, but we can confirm the nightmare pathogens hidden in the dark will continue to proliferate over ti. Probably in less than three months, they will penetrate gentleman’s clothes with a Skin Content of 10% and start infiltrating officially.
At the sa ti, we’ve also roughly determined the danger of nightmares.”
“How dangerous?”
“Hovering between a disaster and the destruction of Zion City. If we can preemptively contain it, we might be able to save Zion City.”
In the coming period, Zion will organize so gentlen with exceptional abilities in dreams and Illusion Techniques to enter dreams at the superficial level, trying to make contact with the nightmares, heading to the Domain of Nightmares to explore more information.
“Desline and their Foreknowledge suggest that the nightmare Root does not exist in reality, but is hidden within the nightmares.
To eliminate this pathogen, we must delve into the nightmares.”
“Is that so… After leaving from your place, Mr. Yuri, I might apply for Qualification in Nightmare Exploration.”
“Oh? So eager to contribute to the Organization?”
“No… I’m just purely interested in nightmares. If not for the Organization’s restrictions, I might have left the city to make contact with nightmares in so desolate place before coming to you.”
“Hahaha!” This reply made Prophet Yuri laugh out loud, his lips constantly dripping with the blood of slaughter, “You really are different. It seems I need to teach you sothing real. If soone as interesting as you were to die, it would be a great loss for the Organization.”
