Zion - Power Station
The day before the nightmare plan started,
Participants came here one after another in the early morning to test the dream suits. Compared with Yi Chen and his team's previous suits, they were more breathable and had better sensing capabilities, and had been renamed "dream suits."
At this time,
An important person wearing a white suit, a white round hat and a faceless mask arrived. Due to his uniqueness, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all saluted and greeted him.
"Mr. Martin and Mr. Marko!"
His uniqueness is not only the masks he wears before and after and his unique identity as a prophet,
The way he moves between power stations is also unique.
He walked backwards the entire time without any incoordination, or perhaps he usually carried out his daily life from the 'back'.
As for what the 'front' is mainly responsible for, basically no one knows except the prophet group and a very small number of gentlemen who have a good relationship with him.
When Martin and Marco were trying on costumes in the lounge of the Knife Squad, he, who had hardly spoken the whole time, suddenly said from under his mask, "Here we come!"
The main entrance of the power station.
As the Nightmare Plan is about to be launched, the security review level here has been raised to the highest level.
The security captain, whose limbs and even part of the torso have undergone prosthetic modification and is fully armored, is guarding here with all the security guards to verify the identities of every participant in the Nightmare Project.
Suddenly, all of them felt a sense of physical threat.
They even saw visions.
I saw a crowd of zombies with shaved hair, removed eyeballs, and mouths sutured with surgical stitches pouring in, filling the corridors of the power station. I could even clearly feel the strong touch of their flesh pressing against my body.
Just then,
The EMP device equipped on the captain is passively activated, buzz!
All illusions disappeared.
There was only one man wearing an eye mask, a white casual shirt and jeans walking barefoot in the aisle.
Both sleeves were rolled up over the elbows, and he wore a watch given by the school on his right wrist.
It was not until the man had completely walked through the current passage that one of the security guards realized that he had not performed any identity verification.
Just as the security guard wanted to chase after him based on his professional instinct, he was immediately forcibly stopped by the captain.
"This is Hogni Zed, the real monster imprisoned in .A. Rumor has it that it will take Principal Deslin and many professors to ensure his normal imprisonment.
I received the above notification yesterday that this monster will be involved in this nightmare plan.
The aura just now could not be wrong. If we go up to forcibly stop him and verify his identity, we will most likely be killed directly."
The security captain immediately passed the information of Zed's arrival to all areas of the power station. All monitors captured Zed's movements at the first moment and were opened in advance when he approached the security door to ensure his smooth journey.
but,
It was Zed's first time to visit a power station. The sense of technology here was several levels higher than the places he usually stayed. Although there were road signs to remind him, he still felt a little lost while walking around.
Knowing that Zed was coming, many employees chose to stay indoors during this period.
Zed couldn't find anyone to ask for directions.
Just when he was about to get completely lost, an employee came up from the aisle beside him, stuffing dried meat into his mouth. The fat on his face was almost upgraded from two layers to three layers.
"Excuse me, how do I get to the meeting point for the Nightmare Project?"
"Come with me, I'm going there too."
"Thank you for your help." Zed was surprisingly polite and not as dangerous as outsiders thought.
This chubby "employee" is Reagan. Instead of feeling pressure from Zed, he feels very close to him.
As we walked toward our destination, Reagan started talking:
“You are Mr. Zed, right? William should be your student.
Your bodies are indeed very similar, but William's body has already changed in another direction, while you are still going deeper and deeper in the original direction."
"Oh, you know William?"
"Yes, he and I are currently in the same mission team. We have previously explored nightmares together. Although the nightmare ladder was proposed and designed by me, I have also discussed my experience with William.
We should also be involved in this nightmare plan and try our best to relieve the pressure on Mr. Zed's sharp knife team."
"Hmm? When I was leaving school, I heard from Deslin that William had given up participating in the Nightmare Project and fled out of town last night."
This made Reagan's face full of fat.
"How could it be? According to William's character, this shouldn't happen."
"You think so, don't you?"
Reagan nodded, "Yes, the reason why I am here to guide you is that William once took the initiative to invite me to participate in the very dangerous relic operation.
He is extremely paranoid about some things that are difficult to predict and are dangerous, and often chooses to go in a dangerous and uncontrollable direction.
There is no way he would choose to leave at such a critical moment. Something must have happened.
If it wasn't a coercive measure taken by Principal Daisylin, then it must be related to the nightmare."
…
86km away from Zion, in a small town completely opposite to the Twilight Clinic.
There are basically no gentlemen related to the organization in this town. They have been living according to the rules given by the organization. Once they encounter troubles, they immediately seek help from the nearest gentleman station and barely survive in such a world.
However, in the past year, the organization's dispatched personnel were clearly insufficient, and several requests were not responded to, and a plague broke out in the town.
Critical moment.
A silver-haired priest came here and used his unique "light descent" method to eliminate the pathogens in the town, and even made the infected people with mild symptoms fully recover in front of everyone's eyes.
So far,
The townspeople regarded him as a messenger of God, expanded and renovated the abandoned chapel, and renamed it Crescent Church.
Every day, townspeople go to the church to pray and beg for God's blessing.
Occasionally, some young men would grow a tuft of silver hair, which was considered a sign of God's acceptance, and they would be sent to the church to become assistants to the priest.
There have been no unnatural deaths in the town in the past few months.
The townspeople also loved the priest very much. Even though he occasionally made some excessive demands, everyone turned a blind eye to it, believing that this was the necessary price to pay for the new god's blessing.
The morning sun has not yet fully risen.
In a secret room deep inside the church, a group of young silver-haired servants were kneeling and playing some strange games with the new priest. Only a few of them resisted, while the rest were trying to please the priest.
Thanks to the power of faith and the moonlight every night, the priest felt that he was about to touch the open source.
When the first ray of morning light from the dungeon skylight shone on him, the priest posed somewhat narcissistically and sighed softly:
"I have become so perfect without realizing it. Now even if I return to Vinar City, I can kill the rat occupying the clinic by myself.
However, I no longer need to go back. I will go to cities with more people to preach. By then, my statue will stand tall in all human cities and be remembered forever."
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed through the skylight of the dungeon.
"Hmm? Another sick person has come to town? What a nuisance..."
The priest pushed away the servant in front of him and prepared to go upstairs to take a look.
The entrance to the dungeon, which was originally completely hidden and equipped with mechanisms, was opened, and a dark beast quickly jumped in.
All the servants felt an instinctive fear and hid behind the priest.
"My children, do not be afraid! It is only a lost beast. I will bring him light and liberation."
The priest stretched out his hand and a beam of light instantly fell on the beast.
Gradually,
The hair on the beast's body quickly faded away, and then it changed from a crawling state to a standing posture, and even its bent spine was straightened.
This made the priest a little confused, as he had no idea that his light would be of such use.
"Hmm? Could it be that my abilities have undergone another advanced change? Is this a sign of open source?"
As the priest affirmed himself,
The beast in front of him had transformed into a young man, twisting its neck left and right as it slowly walked towards him.
When the priest, sensing the danger, used Light Descent again, the young man took the initiative to open his arms to feel the strong light and even gave it a high evaluation.
"Hmm~ Very pure moonlight.
It seems that you have not been infected with other pathogens since leaving Vinar City, and have always maintained your identity as a Moon Dweller.
Very good~ I need to borrow your core for a while."
Before the priest could react, the young man was close to him in an instant.
The right arm pierced through his body and the moon-shaped core was taken out in its entirety.
Bang!
The priest with a hole in his chest fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face, completely dead.
Yi Chen glanced at the group of poor male servants in front of him and finally identified a young man who had rebellious emotions.
"There is currently no gentleman stationed in this town. If we leave it alone, I'm afraid it will become completely diseased in a short period of time, and even become a granary for the sick... I'll choose you."
Yi Chen quickly educated the young man, shared some interesting things with him, and then turned and left.
