Chapter 274: Late Night Communication

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 Mechanical Maids had noticeably declined recently, making the slaughter somewhat 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 Extreme Breakthrough, Red Lotus Characteristic, and the Cancer Palace Relic, had metamorphosed 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 assessment. 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.

Tiny lumps of flesh immediately 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 meals, which isn’t good for your health, so I am creating some 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 something, “Hey! You weren’t just pretending to be asleep the other nights when I fed you, were you?” “Pretending no, just meditating.” Yi Chen gently tapped his head with his finger, “Ever since my Extreme 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 time I use for meditation, to review the day’s battles.” Jin slightly lifted her mask, touching her nose to Yi Chen’s forehead. While the gesture seemed 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 time comes, come with me 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 immediately shook his head, “It’s not that dire, I still plan to wait until the last moment before leaving, as I have many things yet to do. Jin, your Skin Volume still seems very low, not considering Restriction Removal?” “No… I was never interested in Skin from the start. The teacher told me, 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 me. She will remove all parts of my body related to Skin, turning me into a full member 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 some fun? It’s so boring staying in the city all the time… 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 measures. 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 newcomers, 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 came from below, and the two people Yuri had thought about all night were also ascending the spiral staircase at this time, meeting 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 came early to check on your physical condition. If you fall ill under my care, that woman Desline will come 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 time, let’s discuss our trade with Mr. Yuri next.” “Sure! Follow me, and Jin Almeda 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 Mechanical 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 refinement, Yi Chen’s body seemed to ascend another tier, becoming even more perfect and flawless under the nourishment and envelopment of the killing aura. “Come on~ hurry and lie down.” All the worries and fatigue from staying up all night vanished the moment Yuri saw that body, even almost drooling from excitement. “I might do some cutting, then install some mechanical devices around some joints and organs for internal examination;you’ll have to bear with it.” “Mr. Yuri, do whatever you need;it doesn’t bother me.” Looking at the clean, disinfected instruments in the Mechanical Workshop, far better than the rusty, old instruments 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 meeting 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 time. Probably in less than three months, they will penetrate gentleman’s clothes with a Skin Content of 10% and start infiltrating officially. At the same time, 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 some gentlemen 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 some 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 something real. If someone as interesting as you were to die, it would be a great loss for the Organization.”
