The Last Gentleman-Chapter 731 - 729: Attention

The Dukes Chamber of Commerce in Loop should have evacuated, but due to special circumstances, they will stay another five days. However, during this period, the Chamber will not conduct any trade.

Not only that, but in these few days, the three major transportation companies, Rong Chang, Black Worm, and the Courier Group, also showed some unusual settings in their operation mode by cutting off some less important trade routes and transferring a large amount of materials from some remote warehouses to their headquarters.

Moreover, a rumor began to spread within the Old World, originating from the center of Loop.

The rumor stated that a New Moon would rise in Loop after five days.

Although, as Patients, they were well aware that the sun and moon could no longer appear in the Old World, most people took this rumor as a joke, a marketing ploy by Loop.

But some believed, especially certain races that had worshipped the moon since ancient times, and many traveled long distances to Loop.

Since entering Loop was recently forbidden due to the city being sealed, they built nests outside the city, some erecting tents like humans, others simply resting in the roadside forests.

There were quite a few who came to witness the miracle, and in just two days, several circles had already formed outside the city of Loop, even giving birth to the term "Best Moon Viewing Area".

Some self-proclaimed Sensing Prophets, Patients, held up their brains trying to sense the situation inside the city, loudly claiming they could feel the presence of the moon, although it was actually blocked.

Even a Prophet spoke, saying that once the New Moon rose, it would mean that the Old World would break free from the constraints of the Rule.

At the same time,

At the gate of Light City - Ignacy, a Patient covered with duel scars emitted a strange, corpse-like heat as he passed, and pedestrians quickly dodged around him.

Catching wind of the moon rumor accidentally from a passerby, he immediately became intrigued.

"The existence of the sun and moon has been erased... who would dare spread such a rumor? Lets go see."

Although he appeared to be journeying on foot, several huge arms of corpses extended from under his cloak, propelling him forward rapidly.

...

The Vibrio Sea,

In the deepest part of the ocean, amid an abyss paved with fish scales.

Covered in dragon scales with his tail dragging behind, Fish Origin looked at his world map. When William and the others returned to the Old World, his "Eye" had transmitted relevant intelligence.

Although the Silver Sea Domain of the human world had vanished, an important subordinate Fish Origin had sent was also missing, and the task entrusted to William and the others had not been submitted on time.

The recent news from Loop regarding the New Moon immediately made him connect all these incidents, even feeling the likelihood of capturing the mysterious individual who dared to infringe upon the oceans sovereignty in Loop.

As Fish Origin breathed through his gills on his neck,

Ten women flicked their octopus tentacles and hurried over, but these ten Octopus Maidens had significant differences, especially one whose age evidently surpassed the other youthful girls.

Voluptuous and with skin glowing moist from constant immersion in the underwater, she appeared roughly equivalent to a 35- or 36-year-old human female in demeanor.

Her lower half comprised jet-black octopus legs, significantly more numerous than the other Octopus Maidens,

Additionally, the other maidens addressed her as Mother.

"Investigate Loop, and if the target is confirmed, try to capture it alive."

"Yes, Master."

Yu City

A special city near the remote corners of the Old World, not backed by a Source Epidemic Area but associated with numerous brain-related powers.

Since the city was filled with depression patients, it was also known as Suicide City.

Every day, various forms of suicide were visible upon entering the city, some Patients genuinely dying, while others seemingly unable to die at all.

Those depressive patients who couldnt die grew stronger through numerous suicide attempts and even developed brain abnormalities, eventually giving rise to a Silver Circle Patient who became the City Lord under the endless cycle of suicides,

which even led to a trade relationship with Lu Pu, where they would regularly exchange "Depressives brain gelatin" for various life necessities.

Some patients, unable to survive in the Old World, would also flock to this suicide sanctuary, and if they managed to survive, they could inject new vitality into Yu City.

Additionally, there were some special Madmen tied to the background of Yu City, and they would rush over to assist whenever an issue arose, which is why Yu City had been able to develop stably in the Old World.

However, recently, a significant incident occurred in Yu City.

Half a month ago, a peculiar Clown Circus opened on the outskirts of Yu City, and some depressive patients, after watching the performances, underwent massive changes in mental state, went home to paint themselves with clown makeup, and began performing in the city.

At first, there was nothing abnormal,

but as days passed, the number of depressive patients wearing clown makeup increased, and the entire city began to be enveloped by eerie laughter.

Upon investigation, the City Lord found that these depressive patients had all developed a strange red nose tumor in their brains, and their consciousnesses could no longer distinguish reality from dreams, slowly transforming into a pure clown.

In the process of his investigation, he too began to dream,

almost every night, he dreamt of visiting a vibrant, colorful circus,

witnessing bizarre and fantastical performances nightly,

Initially resistant, he gradually became eager to dream, longing to go to the circus to see more thrilling shows,

until one day, upon waking up, his face was also painted as a clown, and he even joined in the intermittent laughter echoing throughout the streets.

If one were to look from afar, one would find the entire city immersed in an alternate form of fear.

Today.

On the streets of Yu City,

with her ponytail and wheel-patterned pupils, Catherine walked in her over-the-knee boots, holding a leash in her hand,

which was connected to none other than Cordero DeGado, a renowned Fly Madman of the Old World.

This Madman, with fly-like green crystal big eyes and his brain completely exposed even down his spine to his buttocks, and his back wings also displaying brain fold structures,

It was rumored that at least thousands of Patients had been drained of their brain matter by him to death. He only got involved with Yu City because he saw it merely as a dessert city, occasionally coming to suck the brain of a depressive patient.

Such a notorious Madman had now become Catherines pet, being led around on a shopping spree.

Catherine deliberately remained in a semi-dream state, imagining the Madman she was leading as William, thoroughly enjoying the process.

At some point,

limping, with his full mouth of yellow teeth exposed and a face brimming with a sinister smile, Art had already walked up beside her, pulling Catherine out of her illusions.

"Catherine, we need to take a long trip now!"

"Weve just settled things in Yu City, and our fear value collection has already surpassed the monthly tribute value of the circus, why the rush to go somewhere else? Besides, it seems some monks are already investigating us, too many misdeeds will draw attention.

I actually find this place quite fun, lets stay a few more days, boss Art."

"The moon... I just got word that a new moon is rising over the city of Lu Pu, and many moon-gazers have already arrived there early."

"Boss, you cant possibly believe that absurdity, right? Wasnt the concept of the moon locked away long ago?"

"Locked away? Then what was it that wounded me last time... and what was it that William showcased during his first performance at the Circus?

Lets go have a look, if its real, its bound to be very interesting.

I might just take the opportunity to slaughter that kid too."
