Chapter 10 The Town's Clothing Store

The sick world,

A variety of existence beyond common sense and developable capabilities,

and the mysterious organization that is about to go,

Endless unknowns await exploration,

Yi Chen was so excited that he only slept for four hours last night...... Perhaps because of the acquisition of 'pathological characteristics', not only is he not sleepy, but his mental appearance is in an excellent state.

The moment he stepped out of the cemetery gate,

I thought it would be fresh air, warm sunshine, and a variety of vibrant townspeople.

however

The street scene is not much better than the cemetery,

The oncoming wind is mixed with a strong smell of crude oil, industrial waste, metals and various by-products, and you can almost taste it.

Through the rows of low, towering town buildings, you can see several thick chimneys emitting exhaust gases.

The sun is not as bright as expected,

The sky seemed to be covered with several layers of fine fabric, and only a sparse light fell on the ground, not even enough to dispel the dark dust left over from last night.

As far as the eye can see, the townspeople are no more than a finger's finger.

They seem reluctant to expose their bodies to the air, wrapping their bodies in large pieces of cloth,

Even his face is wearing a simple self-made mask, and he is hunched over his body, trying to breathe as close to the ground as possible.

The whole town is weird and cold,

There is even a hint of despair,

"The world...... It's worse than I thought. ”

At this moment, a cheerful grinding sound was conveyed from the shoulder,

The fluffy black ball of flesh seems to have just woken up,

With his mouth wide open, he revealed his black and white eyeballs, constantly rubbing his ...... It's like stretching your waist.

Two slender little black hands danced back and forth like waves.

"It's amazing to finally leave this damn cemetery!

Before we embark on our adventure, let's grab a bite to eat...... I haven't eaten in a long time. ”

"Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"Grapes, lots of grapes ......"

When the black meat ball said the word grape, it pointed to his eyes at the same time, and Yi Chen naturally understood the true meaning of 'grape' in his mouth.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with it,

When I think of the world before my death, there are many people who like to eat foods such as fish eyes and roast pig eyes.

"Yes, but I'll have to go to the clothing store first."

current

Yi Chen was wearing only a sloppy, torn shirt,

There are still holes between the sleeves and arms, and there are scratches on the waist, abdomen, and trouser legs.

Paired with [William. Behrens] This body that has not been bathed and washed for several days, even if it is placed in the homeless room, is the lowest level.

Walking among the spacious streets of the town,

Because no one has been cleaning for a long time, the cracks in the ground are full of melon seed shells, dirty water, and rotting insect corpses.

The flow of people has been decreasing year by year, and a large number of shops have long since closed.

The few remaining stores are barely maintained, and they may close down at any time.

Such a scene made Yi Chen wonder, would there really be a decent clothing store?

When in doubt,

At the corner of the street, a house with a completely different structure from the surrounding houses broke into view.

It is mainly black and has a strong Gothic style, tall and thin.

Someone seemed to be quietly peering through the long windows.

The whole has a sophisticated, gloomy feel, like an aristocratic building that only exists in a big city, and it is incompatible with this dilapidated town.

The copper-framed plaque at the entrance reads "Maurice & Sad (Maurice & Sorrow)]

Through the visual amplification given by the small meat ball, you can see the high-end clothing through the window.

This is what Mr. Wilbert would call the most exclusive clothing store in town.

In other words, this kind of clothing store has to spend a lot of money every day, and it should be difficult for the townspeople to spend their income in this kind of store.

Why do such stores exist? ”

With doubts,

Yi Chen crossed the filthy street and pushed open the front door of the clothing store under the watchful eyes of masked residents.

Bell~

The silver bells attached to the door frame rang at the same time.

The light fragrance quickly envelops the senses of the nose, drowning out the industrial smell that remains in the nasal cavity.

The smell instantly filtered Yi Chen out of the dilapidated town and into this elegant and quiet clothing store.

A variety of hand lamps are distributed in various areas of the store

Above the wardrobe,

side wall corners,

or as a separate ornament on a stand,

The lights are intertwined, conveying a panoramic view of the clothing store to customers, while imbuing warmth and safety.

A lady in a floral top hat with a tulle over her face and a long skirt on the floor stepped out of the room.

The light of the fire can draw a beautiful face like a painting through the tulle.

Yi Chen thought that he would be looked down upon by the boss for such a shabby appearance, and even kicked out.

however

But the woman stopped before him,

Through the tulle, gently sniffing,

Plundering the smell of the cemetery that belongs to Yi Chen,

"It's rare, it's been a long time since a living person has been able to leave a cemetery...... Wilbert asked you to come, right? ”

"Yes.

Mr. Wilbert asked me to come here and buy a fitting garment before I got in the carriage. ”

Yi Chen immediately took out the metal business card from between his trouser pockets.

"Do you need to leave in a hurry today?"

"Yes."

"In this case, you can only choose [ready-to-wear]...... Wait until you pass the organization's review, and then go to the tailor shop there for [full customization]. ”

When the proprietress mentioned the word 'organization', she thought that she and the clothing store should be related to the organization, and the economic support behind it made sense.

"I don't know if this money on me is enough?"

Yi Chen took out all the belongings of his work in the cemetery - silver coins stuffed into small pockets.

however

The proprietress doesn't look at these bits and pieces at all,

Instead, he pinched Yi Chen's wrist, and his sharp nails were almost poking into his skin.

Through such a simple touch,

The proprietress not only completed the measurement of the body size, but also read some internal information.

"No wonder you were able to get out of the cemetery alive, and you also got Wilbert's business card and cemetery products, it turns out that you took the initiative to accept [Disease], which is quite interesting."

The proprietress withdrew her words with the palm of her hand,

By the way, he also took away nearly half of the silver coins between the cloth bags.

"I happen to have a ready-to-wear suit here that fits your body measurements.

However, it is necessary to 'purify' the flesh before trying it out, washing away the dust of the dead brought out of the cemetery. ”

Under the tutelage of the proprietress to the bathroom between the clothing stores.

After cleaning,

The proprietress personally trimmed his face and haircut,

After the modification of his appearance, Yi Chen was finally able to explore his appearance in the dressing mirror.

Under the finely trimmed black hair, the facial features are not much different from the original self. It can even be said that some Western features have been added to the original appearance.

Such as a higher bridge of the nose, with deep eye sockets.

If you look closely, it actually resembles Keanu when he was young. Reeves ...... Although the details are a little worse, the overall is still very good.

"I really have a lot of similarities with the original owner of this body, maybe it has something to do with the crossing."

Next is the fitting suit.

White shirt,

A small vest with dark green stripes,

Black trousers with a certain amount of elasticity,

and a black trench coat that resembles a cemetery overalls, covering the whole body and covering the face...... It gives a sense of gloom.

Tie the laces of the black oxford shoes,

Tie a black tie by the proprietress herself,

When he saw the new image in the mirror, Yi Chen's spirit was lifted.
