Chapter 1019: 1017: Deadly
Watching the Fourth Disaster crawl out from the gap in Yi Chen’s eye socket, observing the decayed flesh filling the narrow seam space once again, feeling the malicious intent that has barely changed in quantity.
William gently rubbed his chin,
the black hole swirling within his mind analyzing at superfast speed, the halo around the brain hole slowly forming a smiley face shape.
"I told you, with ’First’s personality, it’s impossible for him to let you go easily after you’ve peeked, let alone give you recognition and a title.
Although [Weakness Peeping] and [Extreme Speed] have indeed reached the ’line’ of disaster, such a terrible personality, unchangeable absolute inferiority — aiming for the [Fourth] position is still far off.
Sure enough, there is something truly terrifying,
it seems that the death loop of the "Deadly Videotape" isn’t a later product, but inherent in this guy; his survival instinct has, to some extent, transcended the rules, wishing to peep endlessly. As long as the environment has the concept of a gap, this guy will always exist, truly lowly yet pure.
This guy’s [Concept Rigid] is likely nearing its full value, even Mr. Yi’s beheading cannot eliminate him.
Hehe~ that’s more like it! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to such lengths, risking the collapse of the stage to come here."
Just as William was feeling excited about the situation on stage,in the deep of the black ocean,
Yi Chen, with a white hanging rope tied around his neck, sat on the throne of the gallows, cradling his torn-apart head in his hands.
"Contact-based gap transmission, anyone who kills Gap and possesses the concept of a [gap], Gap will reappear? It is somewhat similar to the death loop displayed in the deadly videotape; his concept has been bound to the depth of the gap. Even if his physical concept is completely erased, he can still crawl out from a gap.
I said the grand Fourth Disaster shouldn’t be resolved so easily.
However,
there’s another matter to confirm, whether the definition of a [gap] is narrow or broad. If it’s broad, that’s rather troublesome.
We must hurry to kill this person; he’s already started to adapt."
...
[Between Cracks]
Gap, crawling out once again from the gap in the eye socket, frightened of nearly being killed, hid back into the corner... but this time he didn’t cry, nor tremble, instead, he was thinking of something.
Through the gap of his fingers, he looked toward Yi Chen, who wanted to kill him, and saw that Yi Chen’s torn body had turned into a puddle of black water.
Gurgle gurgle~ constantly bubbling,
Yi Chen, weighing less than 30kg, reappeared, shaking off the droplets from his hair, and instead of attacking immediately, he began necessary preparations for the upcoming slaughter.
Yi Chen pulled out a hair and sewed his eyes shut, ensuring that the concept of a gap did not exist in the eye area.
Then he pulled out another hair and sewed his mouth shut,
and let Nash’s parasitic flesh fill his ear canal,
as for the nostrils that could serve as gaps, Yi Chen simply cut away the entire nose with a blade, exposing the bloody inner nasal cavity,
thus turning it into a cavity, unlinked to a gap, while still allowing normal breathing.
Not only that,
other potential gaps on his body, like the belly button, were also plugged.
After ensuring no gaps existed on his body’s surface, Yi Chen completed his preparations for slaughter.
Just as Yi Chen finished sewing, Gap also stood up, even began to speak some relatively normal words,
"Looks like you all are determined to kill me... in that case, I have no escape.
I’ve figured it out, I finally figured it out.
As long as I kill you all, then stuff your bodies into the gaps in the walls, I can return to my normal life, where no one will disturb me."
Gap lowered the hands covering his face, his hunched body causing his arms to droop before him as if completely powerless.
Gap, inherently a self-abased peeping Tom, still dared not look directly,
but rather used the skin torn from his fingers as eyelids, ensuring his eyes observed through gaps, so he wouldn’t be too afraid.
In order to continue his beautiful life of peeping, he chose to bravely face the intruder.
Gap became different, a strong sense of doom was spreading through the seam space
Whoosh!
The two rushed at each other simultaneously,
Yi Chen, maintaining only his breathing, had adapted to the opponent’s speed,
palm knife-shaped, constantly switching charging paths through [Instant], treading on Dead Sea water, his thoughts conjuring up the image of beheading the opponent. 𝘳α𝐍Ô𐌱Ёʂ
Gap, with his hunched form charging forward in a strange posture, moved even faster, surpassing Yi Chen, his previously drooping arms had now risen with fingers pointed.
When the two were about to flash past each other,
William, as the observer, clearly saw something, his muscles tensed all over his body, hurriedly transmitting his voice over.
"Yi Chen, dodge! You will die!"
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Swoosh!
Light and shadow intertwined,
the blade grazing Gap’s neck,
Gap’s fingers precisely touched Yi Chen’s heart on the left side, simultaneously his most vulnerable point given the current motion.
The next second, the two had already swapped positions,
Yi Chen stood with only one foot on the ground, yet his balance was undisturbed.
Because his entire left side was completely shattered... this extent of concept shattering and soul disintegration would have long turned anyone else to ashes, never reincarnating.
But Yi Chen’s death allowed him to maintain his current incomplete state, and a copious amount of black sea water immediately gushed out of his wounds, flattening them all to ensure no gaps existed.
Lene, who couldn’t match their speed, quietly picked up some of Yi Chen’s shattered flesh, just in case.
Yi Chen, with only half of his body left, tilted his head; despite his eyes being sewn shut, he could capture the specifics of the situation through breathing.
When Yi Chen turned his head,
Gap’s head also slid down along the smooth neck wound, being beheaded once more, the lowly malice completely dissipating along with the head’s fall.
Gap’s body soon turned into black water, the endless flesh between gaps was once again swallowed by the Black Sea.
As the slayer, Yi Chen no longer had any gaps on his body’s surface, all narrowly defined [gaps] were locked away.
"Is it over?"
Just as everything turned silent and everyone awaited the result.
Humming! A ringing erupted in Yi Chen’s brain, his thoughts suddenly dragged back to the orphanage, returning to that dark and eerie orphanage corridor.
In the slightly cracked wall gap, a pair of eyes was staring at him.
Witnessing this scene, Yi Chen revealed a relieved smile.
"Seems like I lost the bet... turns out it’s not just the narrowly defined gaps, even the gaps in the realm of thoughts and the rifts in consciousness can serve as your concept, huh?
What a terrifying strong one, I really want to kill you!"
Crack~
In reality, Yi Chen’s body, now only half remaining, suddenly cracked open from the top,
two withered, slender arms tearing Yi Chen’s head apart while supporting out his entire body,
Gap, gradually adapting to all this, seemed to regain confidence, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth for the first time,
"Got one sorted..."
