Chapter 196: Chapter 196

“Yellow skin? If it’s related to skin, it’s most likely connected to the Gentleman’s Skin Market.”

The Duke lifted his arm, pointing to the black sun impaled by the huge sword, and continued:

“The Old World has been locked down, and it’s impossible to produce new types of illness outside the Source Epidemic Area… but that doesn’t rule out the possibility of a completely new illness emerging in your world, like the one your friend represents.”

Yi Chen provided more detailed information:

“On my way to the Old World, near the ‘Passage,’ I encountered an attack from a strange Sick Object. It had evolved a yellow robe that enslaved an Aggregation called Gathering Eye Disease, forming a temporary whole.

After we killed the eye, the yellow robe immediately separated on its own and showed interest in me.

Later, I repelled it with the combined efforts of my teammates, but we couldn’t fully exterminate it… By the way, I still have a piece of the yellow fabric that was cut off.”

When Yi Chen took out the Sealing Envelope woven from Gentleman’s Skin from his clothes, the Duke appeared puzzled, “Hmm? You had to use skin to seal it? That is to say, the two are not completely of the same origin… Let me see what exactly it is.”

The moment the envelope was torn open,

“That’s wonderful~ Our Master has been wandering around with his several sisters since completing his Revenge, leading a nomadic life… Although we often gain medical technology from some human hospitals, there is always a hint of perplexity in the Master’s eyes.

Now, for the first time, I have seen a whole new scene through our Master’s eyes. Thank you, Mister William!”

Due to her long legs, high heels, and the special structure of her infusion pole, the female Doctor was half a head taller than Yi Chen.

She slightly bent her knees and lifted her black hair, pressing her cold red lips to the side of Yi Chen’s face as a gesture of gratitude.

“I just hope he will spare me in the future~ haha,” Yi Chen chuckled awkwardly.

“That’s unlikely, as our Master has been certain since he first set eyes on you that only you can fill the other half of the twin moons… Unless you grow as strong as the Master himself, maybe then you can resist a bit.

Pfft~ But I don’t think it will be of any use, just stay with the Master peacefully.”

Yi Chen said no more, trying to keep up with Lorrian as quickly as possible, seeking to leave sooner.

On the return journey,

the probability of encountering danger in the new passage was extremely low.

The reason Lorrian was hurrying was that he couldn’t wait to find a quiet place to read the novel gifted by the Duke and hadn’t considered any danger at all.

Yi Chen also focused on sustaining his battered body.

Yi Chen was chatting with the female Doctor about some trivial matters of life.

Clang~ The iron chains inside him trembled suddenly as if they were presaging something or serving as a warning.

Iron chains, like serpents, emerged silently from the sand beneath his feet.

By the time they were discovered, they had already coiled around Yi Chen’s legs; the chain’s snake head even clamped onto his thigh, causing his entire lower body to lose control.

The female Doctor attempted to come to his rescue,

Another chain, adorned with a hammer-like structure, immediately smashed the female Doctor’s body to pieces; her high-heeled shoes and infusion bottles scattered among the dunes.

Debilitated and with the loss of control over his lower body, Yi Chen couldn’t break free.

Just as he was about to be dragged into the sands,

A flash of silver light severed Yi Chen’s legs and seized his collar, pulling him away from the danger zone.

Lorrian, carrying the remaining upper half of Yi Chen’s body, and holding the female Doctor’s head, stood on top of a dune dozens of meters away, scowling at the site of the incident.

The quicksand took shape, and slowly emerging from its center were three distinctively different Monks.

One female, clad in a high-waisted black leather garment, had her arms wrapped in serpentine chains; her mouth was forcefully held open in an O-shape with metal wires. Inside her mouth, a snake’s nest brought forth newborn serpents continuously biting and tearing at the lining of her mouth, releasing venom to stimulate the Pain.

One male, shirtless with a black leather skirt, was covered with heavy iron chains ending in hammer-shaped structures and wore a square, rigid Iron Virgin mask.

The individual taking the lead had not yet revealed the structure of his chains; his skin turned inside out and painted black, resembling a surrealistic leather garment.
