The Gentleman at the End

Chapter 43: Chapter 42: Physical Examination

Zede, the teacher, returned to his office and relaxed as if he were returning home, making exaggerated movements, seemingly deliberately showcasing himself in front of the surveillance cameras.

He also enthusiastically introduced his ‘home’.

“The Corpse Storage Room and the Medicine Warehouse are off-limits because they contain dangerous items that only I am permitted by the academy to handle.

Additionally, you must have my permission before going to my room or the laboratory.

You are free to move around in all other areas.”

Zede led Yi Chen to an empty room,

“This room is temporarily unoccupied. Sometimes if there is an excess of corporeal materials, and they won’t fit elsewhere, they are temporarily stored here.

If the special training runs too late, you can just stay here.”

“Okay…okay.”

Staring at the dark, cramped temporary corpse room in front of him, Yi Chen nodded awkwardly.

Just then,

a pair of steady but chillingly sinister hands landed on Yi Chen’s shoulders.

“Professor Qian Bosen is one of the few in this academy who has been good to me.

It was also because of his ‘vote against’ back in the day that I received the school’s protection and was not dragged away to face Zion’s judgement.

So,

since it’s his request, I will treat it as my ‘main job’ to develop and enhance your physical abilities.

You performed very well during class, but you did not exhibit any physical distinction.

Therefore, before tailoring a training program specifically for you, I must ‘deeply understand’ your physical e quickly, I can hardly wait.”

Smack!

A pool of saliva smacked onto Yi Chen’s shoulder,

at this moment, Zede appeared extremely excited.

His Adam’s apple moved up and down,

with saliva continuing to ooze from the corners of his mouth.

Although anticipating something untoward might happen, Yi Chen still followed Teacher Zede to his laboratory…precisely, a Human Experimentation Lab.

All the living corpses used for teaching had been processed here.

The tungsten lamps hummed,

and additional candles were lit to enhance the brightness,

a surgical table not yet cleaned, still stained with grime, was placed in the center,

with some ‘rotting eyeballs’ scattered on the floor that even the little grapes showed no interest in.

“Today’s class was a bit rushed, I haven’t had the chance to clean up, don’t mind it, okay?”

“Alright…okay.”

After wiping the viscous fluid off the surgical table with a large rag, Zede made a relatively gentlemanly ‘please’ gesture, “If there’s nothing else, please lie down quickly.”

“Okay.”

Yi Chen had long known about Zede’s danger, watching the surgical table in front of him, he could almost guess what ‘deep understanding’ meant.

Take a deep breath…

He glanced at the lab’s surveillance, making sure that the eyeball in the corner was watching this spot.

He put all his clothes into the backpack,

and lay flat on the surgical table like a corpse,

Click!

The hidden restraint device sprung into action, instantly locking his limbs, neck, forehead, and waist.

However,

there was no panic in Yi Chen’s pupils, only deep breaths as he tried to regulate his heart rate.

“You didn’t struggle at all; you truly are different from others! Past students checked by me always struggled before they calmed down. @@novelbin@@

That’s the way~ Only by understanding my methods can we jointly explore the secrets of the human body.

Next, I will ‘open up’ your body,

observe and record the inner conditions for subsequent ‘Physical analysis’.”

In this process, you will continuously and intensely feel “Pain”,

Do not resist it, otherwise you might faint halfway through, and if you’re unlucky, you might even die.

“Pain” is an important gift bestowed by higher beings, one of the most important evolutionary products for brain development, you need to learn to understand it, control it, and even fall in love with “her”.

Once you adapt, she will become something addictive, a beauty you can’t forget and can’t stop wanting.

“Let’s begin.”

In the time that followed,

the candlelight in the operating room flickered along with the fluctuations of the screams.

Those “screams of agony” that struggled out from the depths of Yi Chen’s throat sounded like pleasant music to Zede, who even danced during the surgery process,

whenever Yi Chen’s body was about to give out,

teacher Zede would cut open his own body and through “blood vessel docking”, inject vitality, sustaining life… This “deep understanding” lasted for six whole hours.

Even Ms. Olesha, responsible for the safety of the teaching building from the monitoring side, slightly frowned and wanted to intervene several times.

She even doubted whether Qian Bosen had some personal grudge with this student.

Yi Chen’s consciousness did not last until the end of the surgery, but reached its limit midway and deeply fainted.

In his confusion,

he saw the black sea again, feeling the waves carrying his body, eventually bringing him ashore.

Buzz! A black streak passed across his pupil.

Upon waking,

he was lying in that narrow, pitch-black room, or rather, thrown in here like a corpse.

The backpack containing gentleman’s clothes was placed aside,

The first thing Yi Chen did upon waking was to check his body from head to foot to see if anything was missing.

The check showed everything was normal,

Even the stitches were almost invisible,

The only difference was that the surface of his body was marked with thick black lines like teacher Zede’s or other living corpses, representing the physical structure, and some measurements and proportions.

Just after he had changed his clothes,

teacher Zede entered through the door,

He was still wearing only a black coat, unbuttoned, barefoot on the floor.

One hand holding a large bowl of primarily vegetable food, the other holding a stack of data sheets.

“Eat more quickly,

these are ‘supplements’ sent according to your taste by those people above, beneficial for quick recovery… I know adapting to ‘Pain’ is a rather lengthy process, we’ll just take it slowly.

Besides,

I am quite satisfied with your performance,

during the physical test you held out for 4 hours and 56 minutes, far better than any of the new gentlemen I’d mentored before.

Most of them couldn’t last more than half an hour before falling into a coma.

So, have you experienced similar, long-duration pain stimulation before?”

“Hmm… when I was younger, I guess.”

Again, a fragment of sealed memory slightly leaked out, quickly suppressed by Yi Chen.

“No wonder your adaptation is so good, it seems you already had a basis.

Through ‘Deep Understanding’, we have deduced your physical foundation, potential, moldable directions… and the best way to touch the ‘Limit Barrier’ physically.

Overall,

your body is very good and fits my style well.

I must thank Professor Qian Bosen in person for sending such a fine student over.”

Yi Chen, while swallowing food, quickly flipped through his own physical test data sheet.

Detailed, even describable as ‘exquisite’ this data report.

Every blood vessel, every bone’s data was recorded in it, and the analysis was quite spot on.

“Although this teacher Zede is indeed… eccentric,

If I can fully adapt, I will definitely be able to obtain something useful here, fully unleashing the potential between bodies.”
