The Gentleman at the End

Chapter 552: Chapter 550 The Great Tree Between Settlements

The journey was longer than expected, and William initiated another topic inside the carriage—a topic that a coachman could not freely disclose.

“Does anyone have any speculations or guesses about the ‘Evil Illness’ associated with the Tenth Abyss?”

For this kind of question, Jin quickly clasped his head and leaned back, “This kind of reasoning and analysis are exactly your cup of tea, right William? I’m too lazy to think about it; it’s not much of my concern anyway.”

Though Jin refused to participate, Lord Price sitting across was all serious,

“Hmm… as the coachman explained, the abyssal effects relate to replication, specifically replicating the most prominent traits of an individual. If my memory serves me right, the mask that coalesced on my face was fundamentally made of hair.

When I tore the mask, I could clearly feel its texture, extremely similar to my own hair, and even superior in terms of its ‘rooting’ ability.

Moreover, the hair replicated by the abyss could coalesce into a singular entity. Had I not disrupted its entirety by burning part of the mask with a moon spot, my own strength would have been insufficient to tear it off.”

“Targeting an individual’s most prominent traits to replicate, not only perfectly replicating but even improving in some aspects, and also featuring integrity… Perhaps a special type of replicative virus?

I wonder what kind of mask would appear from my ‘Condensed Face’.”

After a brief exchange, William had already grasped a rough direction and sat cross-legged, focusing on his physical state.
