The Last Gentleman Chapter 829

Chapter 829 The Birth of the Monster

Zed's physical development route was actually not a 'corpse' at the beginning.

His physical talent is indeed very high in Zion, but it is not particularly exaggerated.

Young Zed was looking for open-source "relics" and was targeted by the monastery when he first set foot on the land of the old world. Although Asimov was also targeted, their views were completely different.

 While being forced by the monks to take him back to the monastery for transformation,

As a doctor, Asimov realized a very important point, "Simply studying medicine cannot save Zion." If you want to truly continue the human fire, relying on the source of the epidemic in the old world is a very good choice.

In his opinion, once the world infection is completed, it will be difficult for organizations like Zion to maintain their independence. Only by establishing a relationship with the epidemic area in advance and getting certain titles in advance like him can we truly rely on the epidemic area as a background. Save Zion, save the organization.

Hence, Asimov was very cooperative even after he was forced to be admitted to the hospital, showing amazing talent and quickly passing the monk test.

Even took the initiative to apply to use his own body as a petri dish for iron chains, trying to cultivate a special iron chain that best suited him. It also lived up to expectations, and a scalpel iron chain that could combine surgery and execution was hatched.

This point laid the foundation for his subsequent rise to power and became the executioner.

But Zed is extremely 'rigid',

He scorned this group of old-world monks who robbed people without asking for independent opinions, and even Asimov's opinions were not accepted.

 In his eyes, the monastery is completely similar to a human trafficking organization and is not worthy of trust at all.

 The most important point is that even if you meet the requirements of the monastery and eventually become a monk, you will completely cut off your relationship with Zion, the organization, and humanity, which is absolutely unacceptable to Zed.

 Therefore, he was not convinced by these monks at all and would try to escape whenever he had the chance. Of course, it would be impossible to escape. After he was finally caught, he would be tortured quite brutally.

The amount of torture Zed endured on a daily basis was three times, if not more, than Asimov's.

This kind of 'overdose' torture will not bring about the same amount of physical growth feedback. Instead, it will destroy the physical body, crush the consciousness, and may even completely collapse the physical body and no longer be able to feel pain, and eventually reduce it to a person without senses. A walking zombie whose body cannot grow.

But Zed held on, relying on his simple obsession to return to the organization and see his friends.

Under the torture of an overdose, in order to prevent his consciousness from completely collapsing, he also found an absolutely quiet gray refuge deep in his consciousness. As long as he placed his consciousness there, he would not feel any pain, and even everything would become nothing. Influence.

That was the first time Zed came into contact with the concept of "nothing", and his body, which had been tortured into a human shape, also accepted this concept.

 No matter what kind of torture it is, once it comes, Zed will enter such a state without any expression.

It was not that the pain abandoned him, but that he abandoned the pain and everything he saw was gray.

Zed's special characteristics quickly attracted the attention of the senior officials of the monastery.

The higher authorities paid more attention to this special human being. Even if he did not cooperate with the monk-related examinations, the higher authorities made a special case to let him pass, and arranged for him to go to the plantation and try to accept the iron chain.

 Due to Zed's lack of cooperation, it was impossible for him to bury himself in the soil of the plantation and cultivate the iron chain with his own body.

 Only planted iron chains or iron chains passed down by dead monks can be used for physical grafting.

In the end, three special iron chains were selected based on Zed's physique.

  1. A standard iron chain with an excellent rating and a purity of S obtained from a conventional plantation.

  2. A columnar iron chain obtained from the death row plantation. It does not have the ring structure of a conventional iron chain, but is connected by long columns. It has a purity of and contains the will of the death row prisoner.

  3. The "Toussaint's Chain" passed down by [Executioner] Toussaint Soriano who died hundreds of years ago is a special type of chain that feels like a 'Swiss Army Knife'.

 Looks unremarkable, just like a regular chain. Once this iron chain comes into contact with a target, it will adapt and change into a specific structure that is best suited to handle the target.

 Zede still refused to cooperate and did not make a choice.

 So the monastery tried all three types of chains on him, and the chain of Dusan, which no one had ever been able to control, was actually embedded in it very securely.

the reason is simple,

The Chain of Dusan can adapt to different bodies. Once touched by any monk who wants to accept it, the Chain of Dusan will evolve a structure specific to the current monk, making it miserable and even killing him. It's simply unacceptable.

 However, the "nothingness" that Zed understood did not allow him to express any characteristics, and the Chain of Dusan did not change when it entered the body. As the embedding of the iron chain was completed, Zed also used the iron chain as a relic, and completed the opening in the presence of everyone inside the monastery. It even resonated strongly with the iron chain, and even the warden was paying attention to this matter.

 After open source, a rare syndrome was also discovered, called "fibromyalgia syndrome (fibromyalgia syndrome.

but,

After the open source, Zed fell motionless in the plantation like a corpse, breathing extremely shallowly.

 After testing, it was determined that Zed was in a rare sub-death state, which may be related to the disease he suffered from. This is also the first time that Zed has shown the state of [corpse], which is a unique manifestation of [none].

After comprehensive deliberation in the monastery, it was finally decided to comply with the needs of Zed, a special talent, and throw it into the corpse storage area of ​​the monastery plantation.

Tens of thousands of corpses are piled up here, some of which are prisoners from the Stairs of Sin, and some of which are complete corpses that died in other areas of the old world. Because of their better quality, corpse traffickers sold them to monasteries to be used as cultivation for chain cultivation. base.

 Time passes day by day,

Not only did Zed's state show no signs of recovery, but it was getting closer and closer to [none], and even his shallow breathing had completely disappeared.

Stayed in the corpse pile like this for three full years.

The gardener who initially went to the corpse pile to check on Zed's condition gradually changed to checking once every three days, and even occasionally forgot about it.

It was not until the superiors asked about Zed's condition that the gardener, who had not checked for almost ten days, discovered that Zed's body that should have been piled on top was missing, and the chain detector did not detect anything among the piles of corpses.

 The alarm sounded,

The entire monastery began to search for Zed, but Zed was not found in any area, and not even a trace was left.

Due to the gardener's negligence, it is entirely possible that Zed, who had not confirmed information for ten days, had escaped from the monastery. A large number of monks expanded the search area and arranged for people to go to the nearest world passage.

Just when the monastery launched an external search operation,

Deep in the corpse pile area, Zed, who was buried at the bottom, suddenly opened his eyes.

He deliberately completely erased his own breath and mixed it with other corpses. The "Dusan Chain" in his body also complied with the owner's request and was completely hidden, without any chain resonance, making everyone mistakenly think that he had left.

Zed escaped through the gap when the monastery arranged for monks to search outside every day and the door was opened! Became the first person in modern history to escape from the monastery.

  But all [passages] were monitored by monks, and he could not return smoothly.

Due to his eagerness to return home and his immense hatred for the monastery, he found a secret place and wanted to directly pull out the "Chain of Toussaint" embedded in his body and completely cut off his connection with the monastery.

Leave the stripped "Toussaint's Chain" here, and the nearby monk guarding the entrance of the passage will be sensed by the chain and rush over, and he can take the opportunity to escape back.

However,

 The chain of Toussaint, which has always been "well-behaved", has become extremely difficult to remove.

It was very reluctant to let go of its 'new master', and it did not hesitate to use its Swiss Army Knife-like function to crazily destroy Zed's body, especially the brain structure.

Attempts to destroy the brain in all directions and turn Zed into a walking zombie enslaved by it.

 But Zed's perseverance is beyond imagination,

At the cost of being deprived of the concept of his eyes, suffering from mental confusion, and cracked skin all over his body, he pulled out the iron chain abruptly.

Since it took a lot of time, the pursuers from the monastery also arrived.

These monks were all shocked when they saw the situation at the scene. They even had respect for Zed deep in their hearts, but they still suppressed him immediately.

 But when they approached Zed, who should have been unable to move, the scene in front of them suddenly turned gray, and they felt that living was meaningless.

When these people looked at Zed again, he had turned into a ferocious monster, tearing apart the bodies of fellow monks and tearing off their chains.

However, in the gray vision, all this is meaningless.
