Nightmare Town-Hospital
Yi Chen used the power of nightmare to repair the injuries of his student, "Farmer Branklin", in battle, but he did not repair them completely and deliberately left some injuries to weave lies.
"Bricklin, you did a great job. Helping me fight against Dr. McCovey is already your limit. Next, I will face the prophet. If you assist me, your identity will probably be exposed by him.
After you go back, make good use of the prosthesis given by the organization, restart your life, and start your journey of seeking knowledge.
As long as the brain is intact, everything can start over again, and we will meet again then."
“Thank you, teacher!”
Branklin also knew that he could not help in the subsequent confrontation, and as a student he naturally could not hold his teacher back.
The body that was like a mountain of flesh squatted obediently in front of Yi Chen, waiting for the teacher to help him end his dream.
Card!
The skull was pried open.
Tiny tentacles of nightmare drilled into Bracklin's brain, using epilepsy to manipulate and modify the memories.
All the details about the two meeting and becoming students were erased and replaced with his heroic experience of killing the nightmare at all costs and obtaining information.
After repeatedly confirming that there were no loopholes, Yi Chen waved his tentacles and cut off Branklin's dream connection.
Gurgle~
Bubbles rose in the power station, and soon staff members began testing Bracklin's brain.
…
Huh~ Yi Chen took a deep breath and adjusted his state.
"I can't rest at all~ Let's prepare to go to the prophet's location. If Catherine gets there first, I'll have to face Mr. Zed."
As his central nervous system had replenished his physical condition, Yi Chen did not stop at all and used his tentacles to draw the door leading to the library.
When your hand grasps the door handle,
An extremely uneasy intuition pierced his brain like a spike, and the stress reaction almost made Yi Chen pull his hand back.
However, he had made up his mind that the points earned from McCovey alone would not ensure the final victory of the game.
If you cannot overcome this hurdle, you will most likely end up in failure.
"Hoo! Come on..."
With one push, he pushed the door open and walked in.
The scene in front of me immediately changed to an old library.
When Catherine designed Nightmare Town, she made special spatial complex modifications to the library, specifically to trap some troublesome outsiders.
Six tentacles quickly attached themselves to the outer wall of the library.
Yi Chen borrowed the characteristics of the nightmare and completely integrated his body into the building of the library.
After all, Yi Chen had obtained administrator privileges from Catherine, and the changing structure of the library was very clear to him. He could also locate Martin and Marco's positions at the first opportunity.
In Yi Chen's expectation,
People like Martin and Marco would definitely not stay in the library. They would definitely try to decipher the nightmare space and return to the church to reunite with their teammates as soon as possible... It is even possible that they have already opened the nightmare passage.
However, the reality is quite different.
"Mr. Marko is reading a book?"
The Eye of Nightmare penetrated through layers of walls, and the field of vision captured the second floor of the library where the prophet was standing upright in front of the bookshelf with his back to reading a book.
Even though Yi Chen looked through all the spaces in the library, he did not find any points that had been deciphered. It seemed that Prophet Marco had never thought of leaving the library, but was happy to stay here.
Yi Chen wandered between the walls and quietly approached the library where Marco was. When he wanted to see the book in his hand clearly,
A sound went straight into Yi Chen's brain.
"No need to hide, come out and talk, Mr. Nightmare."
Now that he has been discovered, Yi Chen no longer hides. He puts on the mask and completely transforms himself into the role of the nightmare demon.
Crunch! Crunch!
It peeled off the wall with six tentacles, accompanied by black liquid dripping,
The tentacles fell to the ground.
Gradually supporting Yi Chen, the main body, to separate from the walls,
No matter how you look at him, whether it's the way his body moves with the tentacles or the nightmare aura that emanates from his body, he doesn't look like a gentleman.
"Can we sit down and talk?" Marco slowly closed the book and pointed to the rest area beside him.
"Okay." Yi Chen also complied with the prophet's request, wanting to know what the other party was planning at this time? Why did he choose to read in the library at such a critical juncture instead of joining his teammates.
Sit opposite each other on the long table.
The prophet still kept his back to Yi Chen, with the white mask on his head facing Yi Chen, looking quite strange.
"This library has quite a few books, which means that the "Origin of Nightmares" that created the town has a lot of reading. It's just right for me to use the resources here to study hard and even learn some new things."
Prophet Mark took out a box of playing cards from his pocket, placed it in his right hand, and continued:
"During my conversation with the magician Jan, I conducted appropriate verbal inducement and information exchange, and obtained a lot of key information.
For example, the nightmare that affected Zion was simply the work of a member of the circus who was on leave.
The magician and the others were just called in during sleep time to help split up my team. As for why we were split up? There must be a core issue involved.
Combined with the important clue of not being able to kill, this carefully arranged and planned nightmare is more like a game.
Let's assume this is a game.
So, was it just a simple play by the nightmare lady in the circus, or was it a competitive game between her and someone who was not a member of the circus? The moment I saw you, the answer was determined.
I can tell that although you exude the aura of nightmare, it is more like a layer of outer clothing. Your essence should not be a nightmare. For example, the aura of death mixed in the black liquid is part of your essence.
The person playing the game with Miss Nightmare is you, right
Therefore, the problem comes to a deeper level.
What is the purpose of your game? Is it just the simplest entertainment to use our important cities as game venues, or is there a bigger and more hidden stakes? "
Faced with the prophet's reasoning, Yi Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that the mask he was wearing on his face was almost seen through.
The prophet Mark continued,
“I gained a lot from this nightmare.
The fight with Mr. Jaan made me realize something about 'magic'... not tricks, but real magic, which is similar to my 'foresight' to some extent, and I tried to combine the two.
Combined with the book reading during this period, I have mastered a new divination technique.
Perhaps it will give me direct insight into the true purpose of this game."
As he spoke, Prophet Marco spread out the playing cards in a fan shape and drew several cards from them.
Instead of displaying them, the cards were held in the hands and rubbed continuously.
What finally appeared was a weird King card.
The king above is just a monotonous black and white, with a weird smile on his face, tentacles all over his body, and a red heart symbol.
The king below has various colors, mainly black, yellow and red. Although he also has tentacles, he has an axe in his hand. His clothes are more like a gentleman, and his symbol is a spade.
The divination is over.
The prophet Mako raised his eyes and stared at the young dream demon in front of him:
"Sure enough, you listened to me the whole time and had no intention of stopping me or starting a war... This further proves that my divination was correct."
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Yi Chen's head, "Do you want me to lose the duel with you?"
"…" Yi Chen did not make any reply in order to avoid violating the rules.
"I wish you victory in the game. I will go back to clean up the nightmare hidden dangers buried in Zion."
When the words were finished,
Yi Chen vaguely spotted a dark figure shrouded in a hood, and took out a pair of extremely dangerous scissors to cut the dream line on Marco's head.
Ka! The prophet disappears.
Yi Chen was the only one left in the library, with cold sweat running down his cheeks.
"How terrifying! Was that the other side of the prophet? Is this the difference between me and the top fighters of the organization? Prophet Marco actually deduced the essence of the game directly. What a terrifying thinking ability.
If this really comes to a head, there's a high chance I'll lose.
In this case, the key to victory or defeat lies with the teacher. "
When Yi Chen calmed down and checked the score board, he was stunned.
Catherine's 8 points: Warm-up (+3 points) + Prosthetics-Kimberly Cabrera (Guided Kill +10 points) + Death (-5 points)
"Katherine, died once?"
