The Gentleman at the End

In the moment before William disappeared through the dream tunnel opened by Catherine, at the moment when William spoke his last words, Yi Chen suddenly fell into his past memories.

He remembered how, from the beginning, William's main consciousness had kept him confined between the aquarium, locked in the deepest part, with the aquarium and library further separated by seven entire sealing passages.

Until one day, William suddenly became proactive, he took the initiative to go to the rather dangerous aquarium, and through the glass began chatting with Yi Chen, who was imprisoned in the deepest part, gradually becoming familiar.

After becoming familiar, he gradually lifted Yi Chen's confinement, even actively allowing Yi Chen to walk out from the aquarium,

After multiple internal collaborations between the two, William further used the opportunity of "Silver Turbidity" to specially carve out a 'Second Body' in the back area for Yi Chen.

The wearing of the Abyss Mask was also assisted by Yi Chen to cover the eyes, their relationship becoming closer, almost like real brothers.

However,

Yi Chen did not cherish this memory, nor was he reluctant about William's departure, but rather discovered some hard-to-notice "points" within these 'intimate memories'.

Especially after William joined the Circus, every time he communicated with Yi Chen in the Thought Hall, he would unconsciously mimic Yi Chen's behavior and demeanor changes, mimicking the evil Yi Chen brought from the orphanage, the evil as Death Row Inmate of the main material plane.

He even vaguely remembered, sometimes when William handed over body control to Yi Chen, he vanished.

Seemingly going to the deepest part of the aquarium, doing some unknown things... even once during the consciousness swap, William was still in a completely soaked state.

It seemed as if the coffin buried deep in the aquarium belonging to Yi Chen had been secretly slept in by William.

'Did this guy William, through mimicking me, stealing memories, and frequent thought exchanges, kidnap part of my malice and store it in his library where his main consciousness resides, to perfect his performance, thereby gaining Art's trust?

No wonder I seem not quite like myself anymore, feeling much more 'sunny', I thought it was due to world crossing, the new world's contact bringing about a change in my mindset.

This guy really will stop at nothing to achieve his purpose.'

The black hair has already spread within the theater, Yi Chen took the last bit of time to ask the presence sitting before him like a giant.

"Prison Director, what's your next arrangement?"

"What arrangement, William managed to stop and kill top wanted Art before he became Plague Master, according to the rules he should receive the reward from the sick focus.

But now he's preparing to leave this world, you who are 'Twins' with him, should be able to lead this reward."

"I have to say, your friend William's skill in the 'Brain' is second to none, with this upheaval, even the plague master now finds it difficult to act against the circus."

"Let's go~ you don't wish for the skin on your body to be seen by the Factory Director, right?"

"Thank you, Prison Director."

The Butcher's iron chains behind the Prison Director directly tore a passage within the False Moon, leading Yi Chen and the 'Princess' Angelica receiving treatment in the clinic to leave together.

It should be noted that William's departure only took the theater, and the candle puppet cultivated thoroughly, without taking any of the recruited actors.

The two most important partners of the past, 'Little Grapes' and 'Yellow Skin' all remained in the old world.

Currently, Yi Chen leaving with the Prison Director has Little Grapes' true body sitting on his shoulder, with small black hands resting against the chin, the eye in its mouth dangling slightly at the tongue tip.

Before completing the final performance of 'Dead Sun Flipping', Little Grapes had already said goodbye to William.

William repeatedly advised him to stay well with Yi Chen after the performance because the place William was heading to was not suitable for a kind-hearted being like Little Grapes.

As for Yellow Skin,

Once signed a contract with William to retrieve the skin factory within five hundred years, since William and Yi Chen were originally one entity.

After William left, this contract could also take effect on Yi Chen, it didn't need to worry about anything.

Yellow Skin also bid farewell in advance and accepted William's decision not to become the "Factory Director" anymore,

Even during the time following William, Yellow Skin's heart, vision changed, upon seeing the outside world, Yellow Skin's mind was no longer confined to the skin factory, the intense obsession for winning the skin factory was thus diluted.

Even for a moment, it completely discarded the essence as a product of the skin factory, gave up the desire to dominate the skin factory, wanting to go and see the outside world with William.

But ultimately, it couldn't speak out.

However, Yellow Skin soon understood, it was not too late to unite with Yi Chen when it becomes Plague Master after reclaiming the skin factory and gains the capital to see the outside world.

It had been watching Yi Chen's performance over this period, having recognized this youth, resembling William in appearance, deep in its heart for a long time.

...

Fake Moon Depths.

As the whole theater was transferred and disappeared,

The boss picked up the letter left by William and quickly read it, although the expression still looked unpleasant, the negative emotion inside was swiftly fading.

The three chiefs stayed beside the boss throughout,

Just now, other people saw the performance of Magician Jia'en and Mr. Rabbit, especially the Great Emperor whose eyes lit up, not expecting such powerful existence beneath the plague master.

The boss's attitude towards William was also changing the lord's concept, showing no intention to take action.

"Boss, what did William write?"

Chief Beast Tamer Zock asked keenly, he was the only chief who didn't act just now because he greatly trusted his brother wouldn't betray the circus, and was now eagerly wanting to know William's true attitude.

The boss did not respond but simply said in a low voice:

"Let's go back first."

As everyone prepared to leave there, the Duke's voice came again:

"The style of doing things in the First Abyss is indeed so upright and honest, now no one here harbors any hostility towards you. Why not wait a moment, let me say something important, something related to the world."

"Hurry up, Duke."

"Cough, cough!" The Duke cleared his throat and raised his voice, spreading it across the entire Fake Moon area, "The New Moon Origin controlling this false moon, since here, why not reveal the true body and talk together."

As soon as the words fell,

Lorrian immediately descended with a beam of light, beside him was Dentist Jessica, the latter saw the First Abyss and the two plague masters, all her teeth were creaking.

"Duke!" Lorrian showed great respect for the Duke, bowing and greeting immediately upon appearing.

Everyone present also looked at Lorrian, feeling an energy from him not belonging to the old world, a chaotic power, fundamentally a different being from the former Silver Moon Queen.

"Everyone!

William's performance not only made him a plague master, not only eradicated the greatest source of evil in the old world... but also accelerated the operation of the entire world.

A month ago I spent 'Heavy Gold' to conduct a trade with the future, soon deities from the outside world will descend upon us."

These words changed the expression of everyone present.

"Don't be nervous, their arrival this time is not to start war but is friendly, they may even offer us some war compensations.

Regarding the issue of Evil, William already announced to the world during his performance half a year ago, I personally advocate everyone temporarily lay aside grievances and focus on the real threat.

All present are either rulers or core pillars of the old world, I hope more time is spent thinking about this matter, perhaps the outside world can offer more development paths for the plague."

The lord disdainfully countered: "Duke, facing the arrival of enemies, should we choose to coexist in harmony?"

"No... I'm just reminding everyone to focus on the big picture, to think deeply.

Of course, if these guys are still as arrogant as before, I wouldn't mind properly showing them biological diversity.

When the time comes, if the lord wishes to move troops, I will certainly provide you with the best war materials."

"Hmm... roughly when will they come?"

"It won't be long, just be prepared."
