One hour ago.
After Yi Chen, who was hanging on the street lamp, had a panoramic view of Nightmare Town, he also captured the "residents" wandering around the town, but these seemingly human-like guys were obviously abnormal.
For example, the woman hanging on the street lamp next to me, her tearing big mouth always keeps smiling,
A passerby who buried his face completely in the newspaper, with a smiling bloody face reflected on the other side of the newspaper,
Or if you observe closely the old lady knitting a sweater at home, you will find that her wool comes from her own abdomen, and she is weaving her inexhaustible blood vessels into clothes, and she is also smiling throughout the process.
Or the teenagers playing football with their friends on the backyard lawn, they would draw lots to choose a person's head to play football with, and then replace the head based on the win or loss.
Whoever scores a goal will be kicked in the head. Everyone seems to like the feeling of having their head kicked, and laughter rang out one after another.
Each resident is eccentric, but they all share the common trait of smiling.
However~ these nightmare residents are only weird and their strength is very average. Even if Yi Chen wants to kill them in large numbers, it will be effortless, not to mention the terrifying team with Prophet, Zed and others.
However, Yi Chen also saw that Catherine's real intention in setting up the townspeople was not to threaten the team members through them, but to use these townspeople to perfect the disguise of the nightmare.
Both Yi Chen and Catherine can disguise themselves as townspeople and blend in completely. Once a team member lets down their guard or is left alone, they can pretend to be harmless residents and attack them in secret.
Yi Chen looked at some of the open areas in the suburbs of the town and asked, "I should be able to expand some areas to build buildings that are beneficial to me, right?"
Catherine shook her finger:
“Nightmare Town has been locked by me. It is impossible to expand in space or create large buildings... We have to maintain the stability of the game scene as much as possible.
Of course, for the sake of fairness, I will share with you all the details of the creation process of Nightmare Town. "
As soon as she finished speaking, a smoking tentacle came out of Catherine's mouth, and it was skewered with a steel skewer.
Yi Chen did not hesitate about something that was related to the outcome of the game and put it directly into his mouth.
It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a balanced balance of toughness and elasticity. It tastes really good, even better than the best grilled fish that Yi Chen has ever tasted.
Such delicious food made Yi Chen more curious about the circus behind Catherine.
With the intake of You Yuxu, the creation of Nightmare Town and the settings of the townspeople were all infused into his mind.
These townspeople are not completely fictional, but come from those who died in nightmares. Their consciousness is trapped here forever and is completely controlled by Catherine.
Catherine watched Yi Chen eat with gusto, and she was also very pleased. She continued:
“Although we cannot create new areas or large buildings, we still have control over the space. We can make modifications within the existing space to confuse and mislead these foreign dreamers.
By then, I will try my best to separate them into different areas one by one.
Otherwise, given the strength of this group of people, it would be very troublesome if we let them stay together and act collectively, and they might even kill us in the process."
"How are you going to pick them apart? A team like this won't be fooled that easily."
"Just watch me perform then~ Of course, it's not 100% successful. If the breakup fails, I'll have to resort to coercive measures... Okay! Let me show you the individual scores of this team. Our victory or defeat is closely related to them."
Catherine took Yi Chen's hand and pushed open the door of a bungalow on the roadside.
Card~
After the door was opened, the two of them were transferred into the central street of Nightmare Town.
The movie curtain is being drawn here, with an old-fashioned projector at the end.
As a smiling townsman inserted the film, the portraits of the members of the Sharp Knife Squad and their corresponding score lists were projected.
The points you can get by defeating everyone are divided into four levels:
1. Killing by force (no idea implanted during the whole process, or the means of idea implantation failed to take effect).
2. Influence individuals by implanting ideas, and then kill the target with other means.
3. Induce individuals to commit suicide or kill their companions through idea implantation.
4. Total slavery.
The two-faced prophet - Marco and Martin can get scores of -7, 14, 28, and 50
Silver Devil - Doctor Mycroft can get points - 3, 5, 10, 20
Wrinkled skin -? ? Points to get -
Explosion-Romary Tahan can get scores of 4, 8, 12, 25
Cyborg-Kimberly Cabrera can get scores of 5, 10, 15, 30
Corpse - Hogni Zed can get points 6, 12, 24, 45
After seeing the above scores, the first thing that popped into Yi Chen's mind was Mr. Zed's scoring. Although he was ranked second among the team, only after the Two-Faced Prophet, in Yi Chen's opinion, such a score was definitely too low.
But he didn't say it.
In this game, he will do everything possible to avoid meeting Teacher Zed... Yi Chen knows very well that even if he has transformed into a nightmare and has absolute advantage in dreams, he cannot defeat Teacher Zed.
In addition, there were two other people on the scoreboard that concerned him.
“It really is Dr. McCoff… Catherine, I have an agreement with a friend that if I meet this doctor, I must execute him personally.
Can you leave Dr. McCoff for last and let me handle it?"
"Are you referring to the old man with the lowest corresponding score? Fine... I won't compete with you for this guy. So, who is your friend? Have I seen him before? Is she the girl named Jin?"
"No, you haven't seen it... What's up with that wrinkled guy? Why doesn't he have any points?"
"Hey~ didn't I say that? This score list is not fixed. It's just my judgment of their strengths based on their appearance and the personal information I could find.
The scoreboard will change with their activities and performance in Nightmare Town, and you as a nightmare can check it at any time... If you think someone's score is not right, you may want to test it out before taking action.
There is no information about this 'Wrinkled Skin' at the moment. Even my spies in the organization couldn't find any clues. He didn't say a word as he went deeper into the nightmare. He is a very mysterious character.
However, I will find an opportunity to test him in Nightmare Town and determine his score as soon as possible.
Let's put it this way! If you, William, are willing to take the risk and try this wrinkled guy, as long as you can make him take action and show his specific personal strength, I will give you five points as a reward. "
"No."
"Hey~ You're so boring, not proactive at all."
"I have my own arrangements."
Yi Chen was able to preliminarily infer from the appearance in the picture that this mysterious man was very likely related to the Shenpi Residence or even the First Gentleman. He was absolutely unwilling to take the initiative to get involved in such a risky and unknown matter.
"Okay~ I need to start planning along the way, and try to separate them as much as possible! William, you can go around and walk around, or you can come and help me plan."
"Let me help... maybe I can increase the chances of separating them."
…
Knife Squad
When the six people arrived at the outskirts of Nightmare Town, they did not immediately head along the main road, but instead headed for a dilapidated bungalow on the side of the road.
As soon as I opened the door,
Several homeless people with big bellies that looked like they could explode at any time rushed out of the house. Just as they were about to fly over and blow themselves up,
Bang!
There was a snap of fingers in the team.
The homeless group was burned to ashes in an instant, not even a limb was left. Rosemary blew gently on her fingers with a look of dean, seeming very disappointed with these inferior nightmare creatures.
Everyone entered the bungalow.
An electromagnetic field spread out from the inside, and at the same time, multiple layers of barriers with different properties appeared, completely isolating the bungalow from the outside world. Even Catherine could not penetrate it. It was unclear what this group of people were doing inside.
About a minute passed.
Various barriers were lifted one after another.
All members of the team have taken off their pajamas and changed into a set of gentleman's clothes that are exactly the same as in reality. They can also perfectly exercise the abilities of the gentleman's skin, completely isolating themselves from the influence of nightmare substances and combat assistance.
