Chapter 948: Chapter 946: William’s Inference
A very typical hotel double-room design, equipped with a private bathroom.
This person, almost identical in appearance to William yet entirely unfamiliar, had recently engaged in ‘fertility’ interaction with her in this room, causing some awkwardness and shyness.
After all, before becoming a Patient, Lene had always stayed in the hidden caves beneath the village, heading directly to the Forest of New Life once she opened up.
Therefore, in her life, aside from William, she had never interacted with any other males.
The gratitude and tenderness from William, along with William’s handsome visage, continually fermented infinitely within her mind.
Even though the male in front of her merely resembled William in appearance, her heart never ceased to race.
It felt as if she had turned into a guest in this room, unsure whether she should sit or stand.
“Lene, can you lie down? Hmm~ standing is fine too…”
Yi Chen’s sudden statements left her at a loss, yet her feverish mind urged her body towards the bed, simultaneously removing her clothes.
Yi Chen, realizing something, quickly explained,
“Miss Lene, you seem to have misunderstood.
My only purpose here is to understand a bit about your ability, how you managed to snatch my arm away from the disaster.”
“Oh!”
Lene hurriedly re-buttoned the clothes she had just undone, even noticing that the fertility orifice on her abdomen had secreted a large amount of viscous and wet liquid.
“Snatching? I don’t understand what snatching is.
I merely touched your severed arm, extracting the DNA fragments within, and then through my fertility orifice and inner palace performed ‘partial embryo cultivation’ and re-birth.”
This puzzled Yi Chen more, “A mere biological process and the concept has been retrieved, can I see the structure of your abdomen? Standing is fine.”
“Sure… sure.”
Lene once again unbuttoned the lower part of her clothes, revealing the structure of her fertility orifice on the abdomen.
The fertility orifice is circular and penetrates the body, its inner walls covered with black and wriggling hairs, symbolizing the fluid of new life, continually secreting. In just a few seconds of exposure, the entire room was filled with a strong aura promoting opposite-gender interaction.
However, this aura had no effect on Yi Chen; approaching it would result in being engulfed by death.
“This is!”
The vision provided by Little Grape showed Yi Chen a strange scene, a void that should penetrate the body concealed ‘a void realm’, an area invisible to ordinary sensory perception, akin to a black forest similar to the Forest of New Life.
The black trees were orderly arranged in the very center of the forest, constructing a closed [Forest Palace].
This was the critical area where Yi Chen’s right arm underwent embryonic transformation, maturation, and eventual birth.
“The concept of life! This is a concept field, capable of creating concepts through fertility, and it has a particularly high priority… Does every fertility orifice within the flock of sheep possess such a field inside? Or does it only appear after reaching a path?”
“William’s abdominal abyss transformed on the basis of his fertility orifice; he should know more.”
“That’s right! It’s indeed a ‘concept field’.
Every flock has it, but the concepts differ among them. The sheep of the Forest of New Life cannot reach Lene’s extent; she is unique.”
Suddenly,
the television in the guest room emitted a sound and responded to Yi Chen,
Lene, who was being observed, was also attracted by this familiar voice, but Yi Chen’s expression was not good.
He knew clearly and could also see that Lene harbored a unique emotion for ‘William’ that couldn’t be severed, but the present William was completely different from before; it would be better not to let them meet.
Yet, when Yi Chen glanced aside, the television screen didn’t reflect the grotesque and bizarre theater but a clean and orderly office.
William’s face bore no clown makeup, not even half of the golden suit; it was replaced with black.
The smile on his face carried none of the ugliness and madness from Art, just a sunny smile without a hint of incongruity.
There’s also no sign of Catherine, whom one would expect by his side, leaving only William alone in the frame.
“Big Brother!”
Lene burst into tears instantly, wanting to hug William but separated by the screen.
She then remembered Mr. Yi was watching her fertility orifice, causing her body to sway, unsure what to do.
William on the TV hurriedly raised a hand to signal her not to move, “Lene, it’s been a long time. As you can see, I’m now in a special state, stuck within a videotape and unable to appear in person.”
“Videotape? Oh… I encountered a similar object in that world when resolving the fish incident previously. Big Brother, have you also become evil!?”
“It was intentional~ If I didn’t do this, it would be impossible to understand the other party and resolve this disaster, so you don’t need to worry and make sure to keep it secret for me, don’t tell anyone oh!”
“Alright!” Lene immediately covered her mouth.
“Mr. Yi is my dear friend, since you have now joined the team, listen to him well and assist him as you would help me.”
“Mhm!”
Seeing the conversation between the two almost over, Yi Chen immediately interjected, “Hey! What do you mean by Lene’s uniqueness?”
William on the television drew a stack of documents from the office desk, explaining seriously,
“She wasn’t born in the Old World, not a naturally born Patient… but was infected by the initial human body with Mutant Human Papilloma Virus (HPV variant), also known as ‘Goat Papilloma Virus (GPV).’
After perfect infection and through perfect open-source, she turned into a Patient.
Moreover, it’s a perfect half-sheep form, retaining half of the concept of a person.
When the fertility orifice was formed, this seemingly insignificant and weak ‘human concept’ made the fertility orifice complex and perfect, making the inner Fertility Palace applicable not only to sheep’s reproduction but also suitable for any biological entity.
Invisibly constructing a perfect ‘concept field.'”
Yi Chen continued asking, “Coincidence or talent?”
“Both, doesn’t Mr. Yi realize that the few excellent humans who completed the transformation into Patients all possess a unique trait?
Whether it’s me, Reagan, Jin, or now Lene, all are apex existences in their respective source epidemic areas.
Even if you are willing to stay in the Original Tomb, it would be the same.
[World Infection] is far from simply the dilapidated Old World sticking to the edges of the world we reside in,
it is about the defeated Sick Focus, with its rules locked, leveraging its biological world’s characteristic, wandering utilizing ‘World’s Foot’ outside the jurisdiction of the Main Material Plane’s edge territories, finding the world I reside in and commencing the infection.
Maybe there are coincidences involved, but more of it should be a supplementation, a fusion, an interaction.
The gene bank of the Sick Focus seems perfect, yet in reality, there exists a [deficiency], overlooked minor genetic fragments that almost do not affect the formation of life.
With the occurrence of world infection, these missing genes occasionally got replenished from us weak human bodies,
never recorded before, even the consciousness of Sick Focus hadn’t foreseen such a truly perfect life form gradually being birthed from the infection and fusion of two worlds.
I, Lene, Reagan, and Jin, even Zion’s gentlemen, including Mr. Yi who has already been stained by two different Death Plagues, all belong to the Pioneers.
This is one of the answers I obtained from seeking knowledge over these two years.”
Listening to this, Yi Chen widened his eyes, seemingly guessing William’s ultimate goal. But he then denied his speculation, as William’s display might not just be as simple as the speculation.
“Oh right! Lorrian as well, and he is more special… we must be particularly cautious of him!
I compiled all known worlds of the Main Material Plane and non-plane regions, yet did not find any matching ‘chaotic zone’ with Lorrian’s dream world behind him.
Lorrian’s condition might be more complicated than we imagined.
This time he went alone to handle the nightmare-related Evil, and there’s been no news for a long time; if you have time Yi Chen, remember to check the situation in that world to prevent any accidents.”
“I’ll take proper care.”
Watching the gentlemanly disguised William speak from within the TV, Yi Chen got goosebumps all over, wanting so much to tear the entire mask off completely.
