Chapter 1015: 1013: Between Gaps
William’s whispers, although mostly factual, left certain details unclear or deliberately omitted.
Indeed,
The Fourth Disaster is timid due to absolute self-esteem issues, never daring to reveal its true form, always hiding in the gaps to spy on others,
It represents the lowest, cheapest form of evil.
Precisely because it’s low and cheap with no threshold, almost anyone can accomplish it, and almost everyone’s heart harbors more or less voyeuristic thoughts.
Its voyeurism spans all worlds, even infiltrating some planar gaps, even occupying the gaps of the [City of Evil].
It’s because it spied on the [First Disaster] that the latter noticed this special and powerful ’evil’ hidden in the deep.
Similarly, the First Disaster, like William, uncovered the essence of this Peeping Tom,
Specifically visiting and granting what it wanted most—"recognition," even giving it an advanced title like Fourth Disaster.
This isn’t child’s play, given randomly, it’s a diagnosis from the Lighthouse Mental Hospital.——Psychiatric Evaluation File——

Rumbling~
A thirty-odd storey square fortress, its eastern side was directly cut in half.
The room everyone was in had been completely opened, able to see the killing intent brought by the Black Sea occupying the sky.
Chains entwined Yi Chen’s right arm, the end connected to a Black Blade held steadily in his hand, the Ego of slaughter occupying the dominant position.
Yi Chen was nothing if not excited,
Ever since he beheaded the previous Tenth Disaster and regained the Ego, he’s been constantly suppressing his instinct to slaughter, accumulating during each lottery dividend.
Upon stepping into the Fourth Disaster’s domain, Yi Chen continued his limit endurance,
Even unable to think or reason normally several times along the way, as all rationality was used to suppress the surge of killing intent within.
Finally, when the opponent revealed the true form,
Yi Chen’s accumulated killing intent instantly erupted, the display of slaughter even projecting the Dead Sea onto the current sky.
Even the mask sewn between clothes as a backup measure forcibly broke free under this intense killing intent, attempting to adhere to Yi Chen’s face.
However, Yi Chen immediately put away the mask that wasn’t yet worn after the strike ended.
"Yellow Skin, keep the mask well, now is not the time to wear it."
Ordered like a command, the request forced the mask to be retracted again, a silk thread of skin-stripping line tying it up and sealing it away.
Having unleashed his killing intent, Yi Chen regained his old rationality,
He knew William’s scheme succeeded entirely, through whispers letting the opponent fall into a passive state, but beheading such an existence is far from easy.
The crucial items must be reserved for the final moment.
Looking at the severed head on the bedroom bed,
Looking at the headless body hanging in the wall gap,
Yi Chen slightly flexed the wrist holding the blade and murmured:
"The feeling is off, it seems like beheading but actually is not... This should be just a part, a small part, even a corner of the Sick Mountain, the real form still in the wall gaps.
Was I too hasty?"
Yi Chen’s soliloquy was answered by William on the bed, "Not hurried, not at all! Such a cowardly creature being able to crawl this part of the body out from the gap is already the limit, Mr. Yi did very well... Though it’s only a small part of the [Beheading].
This beheading concept surpassing the previous Tenth Disaster has already been transmitted through this part, reaching the Fourth Disaster’s consciousness, enough to make it dull for a while.
Now is the perfect opportunity for us to enter the lair."
William already reverted from Lene’s appearance,
He casually tied the central hair bun, tucking the strands draping over his cheeks behind his ears.
"Only didn’t expect Mr. Yi’s strike to be so exaggerated, even cutting away the entire malice-generated structure! We need to restore quickly, or else we won’t have our ’entrance.’
The shaved off building reinserted like Russian Tetris under the support of numerous tumors and balloon traction, returning to its original form.
At this time, the abyss in William’s abdomen began to spin, an unusually shaped gun being pushed out by numerous Black Worms.
This gun clearly underwent special modification, especially the "barrel," elongated and displaying abyss material and spiral structure.
Yi Chen could roughly tell through the gun’s shape, it’s exactly the gun used during the Gentleman Organization time—Bartosz modified.
"Entering the lair?" Yi Chen expressed some doubt, as this is the interior of the Primordial Videotape, the Fourth Disaster located here.
William simply explained: "My problem, wording wasn’t accurate, should be ’presenting the lair’! This creature seems to live here, but in reality, the true habitat is [Gap].
All gaps can become its home.
Thinking about catching this ’rat’ is too hard, when we approach the suspected gap, it already transferred.
Right now is the only chance, this guy temporarily stunned by Mr. Yi cannot transfer, and this gap will present the true gap world to us."
An odd bullet dropped from William’s abdomen,
Gunpowder expected inside wrapped around the surface, while the expected protruding projectile showed a concave shape.
Load,
Aim,
Pull the trigger,
During the shooting process, Yi Chen’s eyes showed a deep state.
The bullet leaped from the chamber without any sound, absorbing part of the surrounding sound, rotating counterclockwise into the wall gap with the headless corpse.
"Hold tight!! The entire space will be flipped!"
The wall gap gradually stripped like Skin Stripping, revealing the dark, moist side with irregular particles within the wall,
The internal structure continuously flowing out replaced the current room, even the entire fortress, the entire spatial system flipped due to the bullet.
Yi Chen imbedded the blade into the flipped internal wall, steadying himself and pulled the just-awakened Lene.
With the flip ending, everyone had already entered the [Between Gaps].
The individual beheaded by Yi Chen, only the upper half,
The lower portion wedged within the wall gap showing strips of flesh, or rather strands of hair structure, led to the central area.
Piled there is the real form of the Fourth Disaster, the peeping source hidden within the wall gaps,
Those crawling in the wall gaps, spying creatures are only ’hair’ of this agent.
The real appearance even William showed a surprised expression.
"Is this the origin of voyeurism! Is this Mr. Gap?"
