The Last Gentleman-Chapter 171: Separation

There wasn’t much of a choice between Yi Chen and Jin.

Since Jin’s main attribute “Red Lotus” had initiated sensing, she inevitably chose that direction.

After waving goodbye, Reagan and Jin each set out on their respective paths, leaving only Yi Chen standing alone.

Either follow the Dead Egg laid by Xiaopei or carve out a path for himself.

Yi Chen held the Dead Egg in one hand and propped himself up on the sandy ground with the other, trying his best to root the plant deep enough into the soil, but, regrettably, the plant with Pathological Traits received no sensing response.

The little grape standing on his shoulder, whether dancing, glaring, or spitting—none of these actions evoked any environmental reaction.

...

“Perhaps it’s truly arranged by destiny; I’ll go with this egg.”

Just as Yi Chen was ready to follow the egg, the voice of Lorrian came from within him:

“I didn’t expect you guys to choose to split up so soon. Since that’s the case, shall we take a bit of time to separate?”

“That works.”

He returned to the relatively safe Temple.

Yi Chen had tied the umbilical cord around his neck in advance. After a period of climbing and crawling through passages, the “Black Umbilical Cord” from the Old World had mostly recovered.

As he undid his gentleman’s clothes… Buzz!

A Moon Seal emerged on his right half, and with a faint glow, a moon membrane wrapped around Yi Chen’s entire body, isolating him from the erosion that the Old World inflicted on the flesh.

“Hold on, I’m starting now!”

“Bring it on…”

A burst of intense moonlight flashed before his eyes, instantly stripping the right half of his body from its ownership,

The flesh along the body’s midline tore open slowly,

One by one, the stitches of moonlight silver threads embedded within were pulled out,

The right arm assumed a crawling posture, dragging out the right half of the body and the parts hidden within it.

Once separated, the now naked Moon Scar hastily dressed himself in the familiar patient’s attire from the Clinic,

And with a simple gesture, moonlight rained down, falling on the edge of the Temple.

Doctor and nurse rapidly took shape at the boundary of light and shadow, hurrying to build a surgery table for Yi Chen and connecting tubes for fluid transfusion to the wounds on his bisected body. 𝘙αΝ𝐨𝐛Ëş

However,

Even with the assistance of the Moon Scar and the rejuvenation provided by the umbilical cord,

Directly reconstructing the entire right half of the body, including legs, arms, viscera, and all blood vessels and nerves, was still a considerable stretch.

The construction process might take several hours, or even longer, to gradually adapt to.

Even if it were successful, it wouldn’t be the original body, and would inevitably include differences that would make it feel quite unfamiliar, significantly reducing combat skills.

However,

Yi Chen had long been considering the issue of the ‘right half of the body’ and how to quickly recover without affecting the exploration of the Old World after the Moon Scar’s departure.

The only solution he could think of was just one.

Lying on the surgery table, Yi Chen did not proceed with physical regeneration, but instead had the umbilical cord help stabilize his life force, ensuring the normal operation of his left half.

Immediately after,

Strangely enough, black hairs began to sprout from the cross-section of the wound, seeping out wisps of cold, clean lake water to cleanse and disinfect the wound.

When the cleaning was done,

Whoosh!

A set of black-coated ribs, arm bones, and leg bones swiftly grew out, forming a complete right half skeleton in less than a minute.

Hiss~ Layers of ancient black corpse qi rose from the bone surface,

Generating flesh,

More than regenerating, it resembled the growth on a corpse from the cemetery,

The bone surface developed a kind of graveyard flesh particular to a corpse, which was then stitched and connected together with black hairs.

In the end,

A right half of the body, akin to a dark forest, took shape, the entire process taking no more than five minutes.

A mouth containing eyeballs also opened in the chest cavity, not fixed in place, this mouth could move freely around the black-haired right half.

Yi Chen also got up from the surgery table, disconnecting all the infusion tubes, and nodded in thanks to the doctor and nurse.

He dressed,

Put on gloves,

The right half of his body, covered in black, was completely hidden, revealing no abnormalities.

That was the trade Yi Chen had made in advance with Little Grape, as a compensation for consuming the Eye of the Pilgrim.

During the day of exploration in the Old World, Little Grape would assume the role of the “right half-body”.

However,

when Yi Chen tried to move his right arm, he felt a slightly unfamiliar sensation.

There had been times when Little Grape substituted his hand or arm, but this time, Body Shape Yi Chen felt something more, some strange and ancient magic power harbored within his right arm.

“This right half-body of Little Grape feels a little unfamiliar…”

“It’s related to my awakening memories, why don’t you check it with clothes?”

“Okay.”

As the information bar between his retinas materialized, Yi Chen bypassed the various basic attributes, professional traits, and pathological traits, going directly to the pet section.

Whereas previously he could not get any information on Little Grape, now he was presented with an additional piece of information, as shown below:

≮Pet≯

[Name]: Little Grape.Grep

*The origin, basic information, and abilities of this pet are difficult to fully verify, suspected to be a combination of several ancient corpses over three hundred years old.

The information of one of the combined corpses is now detected, as follows:

“Corpse Name” – Eye Collector.Gemhar

“Introduction” – Born in a poor mountain village where even fire was rare, Gemhar naturally possessed a pair of bright eyes that helped him find food in the darkness.

One night while hunting, his supernatural vision led him to discover a gentleman in hiding, waiting for patient prey.

Because of his talent with eyes, he was recommended to an organization and became a Sensing Gentleman, choosing the profession of “Demon Eye Mage” of the Blue Letters.

After breaking through the Limit of Man, his psyche was gradually consumed by greed, and he began to crazily collect eyeballs in secret, including those of fallen comrades.

Following a large-scale conflict, Gemhar deliberately hid in advance, waiting for the gentleman’s troops to clash with patients, and then collected the eyeballs of the dead on the battlefield.

In the process, he became pathologically deteriorated, completely fallen.

Later, due to his excessive greed and wandering between different Gray Domains, he interfered with the interests of multiple patient powers and was ultimately killed.

His fragmented corpse was coincidentally discovered by a squad on a mission in the Gray Domain,

and upon passing through Easton Town for team reorganization, they were approached by the Manager of the Seven-Day Cemetery—Wilbert, who purchased the corpse.

Buried in the most dangerous area, Cemetery No. 6, it became one of the “construction materials”.

“Corpse Development Level”: 30%

*It can barely demonstrate a Corpse Form, use the basic abilities of the corpse (weakened version), specifically as follows:

1. Pupil Skill Mastery—Pupil-related abilities are amplified for better effects and less mental fatigue.

2. Witchcraft—Capable of casting specific witchcraft, which also gain witchcraft-enhanced effects when casting spells.

[Pet Status]:

Right half-body mimicry, with a 100% nerve connection compatibility with the host, not affecting any actions or ability casting of the individual.

…

“Eye Collector, a Fallen Gentleman who has broken through human limits? If it were the original, he might be able to compete face to face with Moon Scar.”

“Hehe, Little Grape’s origin is not simple! Hurry up and try out the new abilities of the right half-body.”

Yi Chen stood at the entrance of the Temple, his palm aimed at the sand dunes on the ground.

As an eyeball opened in his palm,

the gray sand actually began to rotate under the gaze of the eyeball, although it couldn’t manipulate and crush objects by glaring like an Eye Collector, it wasn’t far off.

Following that,

Yi Chen tried to use the plants within his body, making roots shoot out from his right hand covered in black hairs.

When the plants moved through his arm, they spontaneously took on an effect of witchcraft… Whoosh! The roots shot out from his palm turned into withered branches suffused with the scent of a curse.

When they were inserted into the sand, wisps of black smoke arose, and their damage increased.

“Witchcraft augmentation! Really nice!”

Snap! A white hand reached from behind and gently landed on Yi Chen’s shoulder.

“Didn’t expect that instead of regenerating yourself, you’d let this interesting pet replace your right half-body… a good choice, it won’t waste too much time, and we can explore the Old World together now.”

“Hm? You haven’t left?”
