Lead the way by Chamberson

Cross the street arch bridge and take the elevator on the side of the road to the [Lower Street].

The streets are divided into three floors, not only in terms of vertical distance, but also in terms of style, density of people, and the main commercial areas involved.

The further down, the less 'restrictive' there is,

As a result, there are occasionally some entertainment venues that are not quite in line with the 'gentleman' in the lower streets, and the overall tendency is to be casual and entertaining, while there are relatively few formal places.

At this time, Chamberson suddenly said:

"Most of Zion's [tailor shops] are located in the upper blocks, especially the shops on College Street, most of which have a long history and a famous name.

But...... Your skin is not the same.

Even if it's a tailor shop directly under the academy, I'm not sure if they can handle such a leather perfectly.

I have an old fellow who I have known for many years, and for some reason was forced to open [the tailor's shop] in the depths of the lower streets...... He had reached the level of a master tailor thirty years earlier, and his craft was sure to make good use of this skin.

And he himself is very fond of challenging tasks. ”

Hear this,

Yi Chen remembered that the ready-to-wear on his body was also from the [tailor shop] under the command of the organization.

At that time, the proprietress also said that when he passed the assessment, he would get a free full customization opportunity.

"Professor Chamberson, there seem to be a lot of tailor shops outside the organization?"

"That's right,

[Tailor shop] is one of the important institutions

For gentlemen, it was indispensable and an important supply depot.

Each tailor shop that opens outside will be financed by the organization

Gentlemen who are away on duty can enjoy the basic services of the tailor's shop free of charge.

cleansing the infected flesh,

repairing damaged clothing,

Pick up local quests or receive rewards,

It is also a safe house and temporary shelter.

We have been screening elite gentlemen with sartorial talent and adding external tailor shops to combat the spread of disease and reduce the mortality rate of gentlemen. ”

"Got it."

Small talk.

The two of them stuck to a gap between the buildings that was just enough to squeeze through their bodies,

Officially come to the depths of the lower block

[Chasm-Street], as the name suggests, is a street located between the slits,

It's populated with more recreational shops, most of which go against Zion's rules on the surface.

The gentlemen who walked here also appeared to be looser, wearing masks to hide their faces and expressions.

Professor Chamberson, who seemed to be strict, accepted such a street, and whispered:

"A gentlemanly spirit allows us to maintain our 'self' in a sick world, but there will inevitably be times when we get tired.

As long as gentlemen have sufficient self-control, it is a good thing to use [indulgence] as a rational tool to temporarily relieve stress and seek balance. ”

"Hmm."

That's when it happened.

A public telephone booth not far from the two suddenly rang a rapid ringtone.

The fixed frequency that exists between the ringtones seems to convey a certain message.

Chamberson squeezed into a cramped phone booth in an instant, placing his old earpiece next to his ear.

He didn't say a word the whole time,

Just silently listened to the sound coming from the earpiece.

End of call,

When Chamberson walked out of the phone booth, he took out a business card with an owl's head printed on it and handed it to Yi Chen.

"I received a temporary notice of a meeting, and you can only do the custom clothing by yourself.

The tailor shop is at the end of the street, and although it is very remote, it is still quite conspicuous in this kind of place.

When you get to the store, hand me my business card to the old guy, and he will naturally customize the most suitable outfit for you. ”

"Good ......"

Bow and thank you while taking the card,

By the time Yi Chen looked up, Chamberson had long since disappeared.

"Anyway, I haven't arranged temporary accommodation yet, right? Never mind...... Go to the custom clothing first, and then think about sleeping, it's no problem to sleep on the street. ”

To reduce trouble,

Yi Chen will be ten fingers veneer,

Hiss ~ Quickly construct a green mask to hide your appearance.

In addition, we have made a very eco-friendly plant-based handbag, and the black box of "Gentleman's Skin" is hidden inside.

Walking in the depths of the lower district, there are many quirky shops on both sides of the street with no signboards and half-hidden doors.

Or you can smell the fragrance, or you can smell a hint of blood,

Yi Chen finally suppressed his curiosity,

These places can be explored only after you become a gentleman.

According to Chamberson's description, he finally came to a smaller street corner.

A black building mixed with a strong Gothic style dragged Yi Chen's vision over, and there was also no signboard.

Stepping on the stone steps in front of the door,

Just as he was about to knock on the front door,

Ga~

The front door, painted with pitch black, opened on its own, and there were no living people in sight in the extremely dim interior space.

"Anyone?"

Yi Chen stepped into it cautiously,

Unlike the clothing stores in Easton Town, there is not only no light source, not even a single garment.

Instead,

There are hundreds of "human sculptures" carved in stone in equal proportions.

They crowd every corner of the house, dividing the large open flat into winding paths, giving a claustrophobic feel.

What's even weirder is that

Perhaps the carving of the face was not completed, and the body sculptures covered the head with a white cloth, which was eerie and eerie.

Besides

There are also a large number of drawing boards stacked in the corners of the walls, all of which are paintings related to the human body, some of which have formed cobwebs.

"Am I in the wrong place?"

Just when Yi Chen wondered if he had strayed into a depressed art museum.

Sa ~ abnormal movement came.

A white cloth fell on Yi Chen's shoulder,

At the same time, a small snort came from behind him,

At the same time, you can also feel the cold air blowing on your neck,

"Huh!?"

Yi Chen touched the hand axe on his waist with one hand and turned around quickly.

I saw a sculpture with uncarved facial features standing behind him, his stiff arm raised at some point, pointing in a certain direction.

Look in the direction of your finger,

I vaguely saw a folding staircase leading to the second floor,

meanwhile

Click~click~

The sound of leather shoes and walking sticks overlapping came from the stairwell.

Wearing a brown beret,

Half of the face is masked,

A middle-aged man in a crisp suit is slowly walking down the stairs.

It is worth noting that

Suits are divided into left and right colors

The left is black,

The right is red with flame patterns (the mask covers the right side of the face).

The man's right hand is also wearing rubber gloves, and he needs the support of a cane to barely get downstairs.

"Who introduced someone like you to the new guy?"

"Professor Chamberson was supposed to come with me, but I received a notice of a meeting in the middle of the meeting...... I was the only one who came. ”

Just as Yi Chen was about to step forward and show the owl's business card.

Click~

The human sculptures around him actually moved,

Mechanically raise your arms to block your way.

"Ahem...... I can smell owls on you, I don't have to show any proof.

You just have to say why I'm here. ”

"Okay."

Yi Chen doesn't talk nonsense,

Take out a 10×10cm "gentleman's skin" directly from the black box,

The moment the skin is revealed,

All the sculptures in the store show 'peeling symptoms', and the stone skin actively peels off the body, revealing the muscles and blood vessels (all made of stone).

The shopkeeper standing in the stairwell also widened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Such a large 'Initial Skin'? Put it away first, this kind of thing is not suitable for long-term exposure. ”

"Okay."

When the skin is re-inserted into the box,

The restlessness of the human sculpture also stopped,

Yi Chen also added: "Professor Chamberson specifically said that only you can perfectly control and handle such a [skin] in Zion City. ”

He was right, most of the tailor shops on the surface were just raising a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and it was a terrible thing to give them such skins.

Come with me,

The process of [Full Customization] is quite complex and requires you to have a certain amount of patience. ”
