The Last Gentleman
Chapter 563: Perfect Life Form

After addressing the matters of "Composing", the pure white Sick Servant prepared to lead William to the mysterious Composing Room,

however, just as the Sick Servant was turning his cell-stacked body around,

the visual nerve system, linked between the white blood cells, seemed to be drawn by some force, unwilling to move away from its focus, continually watching the young man who had just completed the silver liquid transformation, observing his physique.

This was the first time the Sick Servant encountered a situation where his own cells did not obey commands,

As a servant differentiated from the central Sick Focus, he had a root reverence for "illness",

In his over two hundred years since differentiation, he only experienced instinctual worship and an inability to control himself when meeting with the center or encountering some incomparable root pathogenic conditions,

The individual was often a Plague Master, or someone with potential of a Plague Master and unique diseases among the Silver Circle personnel.

This was the first time it happened with a Patient who had just completed the silver agitation but had not yet undergone Composing,

Driven by curiosity, the Sick Servant seriously began to scrutinize the young man’s physical structure after the silver agitation.

Squish squish~ As the visual nerves gathered, layers of lens-like structures stacked and fused within the body, eventually forming a giant pure white eye in the servant’s abdomen.

He peered through William’s body surface to observe the internal structure.

"This is!!"

What he saw was incredible: beneath the human skin and form, William was simply a magnificent bio-artifact of the great biological era, worthy of being displayed in the most prestigious art galleries, and even featured as a central debut piece.

[Head]:

1. Skull - retaining the shape of a human skull, the inside of the skull was carved like a civilized cave with dense texts and drawings, even resembling a complex circuit board.

Furthermore, it was equidistantly carved with multiple small holes to facilitate brain cooling.

2. Brain - with the "Ancient Gene" integrated into the Mad Shell Virus, the entire Black Insane Brain exhibited an absolute spherical "Rule", making its brain grooves clearer and its surface even diffusing a layer of black mist.

A modified ring-shaped artery, like a halo, encircled the Black Insane Brain, providing the optimal blood circulation.

The brain structure looked exactly like a black planet.

[Body]:

1. Frame structure - chamber wall contours, layered muscle wire routes, while incorporating the framework coupon structures of European architecture, significantly enhancing the bones and muscles’ support for the physical body, while also maintaining aesthetics, vaguely resembling a luxurious palace of flesh.

2. Organ integration - William also created a structure known as the ’Comprehensive Organ Chamber’, comparable to a computer’s motherboard.

It is a structure combining his own bone Iron Chains that formed an internal body chamber structure, where each organ could be embedded, not only providing protection but also enhancing the connectivity between organs, and the pelvic area could also enhance each organ.

3. Digestive system - optimizing the digestive tract deeply as the digestive organs occupied much space in the original trunk. By embedding the Ancient Gene, William made a bold decision to completely erase the entire digestive tract and integrate all digestive functions into a single organ, the stomach.

To ensure the digestive effect was not reduced, William spent a considerable fortune on the "Stomach" transformation, failing more than 20 times.

Eventually, he obtained an organ called ’White Stomach’, no longer in a sac shape but in a circular structure, perfectly encircling around the abdomen’s life gate.

The fluid filled inside the White Stomach was no longer gastric acid, but a highly concentrated new acid, capable of returning any material that fell into it back to its most primitive state for decomposition.

The walls of the White Stomach connected to a blood vessel with a cyclic filtering function, equipped with a ’gate’,

Only completely decomposed substances could flow through the blood vessel; if there were still large molecules, they would be diverted through another cyclic tube and flow back into the stomach.

And, the White Stomach was also supported by the Comprehensive Chamber; if any material exceeding the load of the White Stomach entered, other organs would provide assistance.

Also, with the space of the digestive tract cleared, the body became much lighter, and more bones as well as muscle tissues developed in the abdomen, enhancing the body’s core strength.

[Limb]:

Leg and foot—The ankle and knee joints were fully reconstructed, utilizing ancient genes to create an extremely tough ligament that, together with muscle tissue, was arranged in a circular overlay and continuously secreted tissue fluid to soak the joints.

The arrangement of structural frames, bundles of muscles, and the sorting of nerves and vessels will no longer be elaborated upon.

Hand—The left and right arms were designed to be completely different while ensuring they had the same weight and length, enabling the right arm to be better suited for close combat slashing and the left arm for shooting guns,

by adjusting the bone arrangement and muscle layout significantly enhancing the right arm’s mobility and strength, as well as the left arm’s precision and adaptability.

"This... is simply magnificent!"

The Sick Servant was shocked by such a physical structure and also understood why William had spent so much time and instantly felt that the massive consumption of silver liquid was completely worth it.

"Wait, what is that!"

Since William was facing him, he couldn’t see the structure of his back.

But for a moment, the Sick Servant felt something clinging to William’s back, even stealing a glance at him.

Logically, any Pathfinder who arrives at the [Transfer Station - Gland Area] would have their secondary consciousness ’detained’ outside, so it was impossible for a second consciousness, besides his own, to appear on William.

"May I take a look at your back?"

Facing the Sick Servant’s request, William gladly turned around.

"What is this thing!"

It was expected to see a special spinal structure or perhaps part of the visual nerves embedded in the back providing rear vision.

However, what appeared before his eyes was the image of ’a dead body clinging onto his back’,

more precisely, a deceased entity, ’embedded’ or ’deeply adhered’ to William’s back, sharing a spine with him.

The dead body’s arms were buried under the skin, extending up the neck, and connected to a face covered by an ’Abyss Mask’... or rather, based on the ’hand structure’ of the Abyss Mask as the starting point, this embedded dead body on the back was created.

Due to the dead body’s structure, or the existence of ’the second being’, deep control of the Abyss Mask was achieved.

It could even retract the arms to store the mask inside his body, revealing it only in critical moments.

There’s another critical point,

the dead body could not only control the mask but also act as a carrier of consciousness,

in case of real danger that William alone couldn’t handle, ’Yi Chen’ existing deep in his brain could attach itself to the dead body to accomplish ’Two People Walking’.

The sense of being watched that the Sick Servant had just felt came from Yi Chen.

This feeling of being observed made his skin crawl, as if he was being dragged into a deathly abyss filled with sins.

"How come it feels like there’s another consciousness in you? Logically, any external consciousness besides yours should be rejected outside the Gland Area."

William said awkwardly, "You felt it, huh? That’s not someone else, but rather myself... I have a bit of a problem with my brain,

Before coming to the Old World, even before contracting any illness, I already had a complete mental split.

There was another me always restless, so I simply created an external body for him."

"Alright..e with me.

If possible, after the composing is done, I hope you can stay here for half a day. We will make a cast of your body to display in the Gland Area as a specimen of an outstanding promotable participant."
