the last gentleman

Chapter 284 Negotiations
Yi Chen stared at the girl in front of him who looked like a clown, and at the same time let Xiao Putao open up the overall vision, always on guard against possible nightmare sneak attacks.

"you are?"

The girl gently pressed her nose, "Call me Catherine."

"Are you the root? Or an ordinary derivative?"

"Well~ I can't tell you now. Of course, when we get to know each other to a certain extent, I will consider telling you this secret quietly, hahaha!"

Because the girl is wearing exaggerated black smiley makeup, she feels that she is smiling all the time.

"Is the purpose of calling me here to show off your 'invasion achievements'? Infect the whole city by combining nightmare substances with daily meat products."

"no no!"

Catherine quickly denied it, stepped on the ground with her feet in black and white stockings, and explained as she walked.

"It's not appropriate to use the word infection to describe it. It would be more appropriate to use the word [implantation], because the things we put in are very special and are very different from common pathogens.

By the way, William!Do you know what is the most stubborn thing in human beings or living beings with thinking ability? "

"I don't know." Yi Chen waited for the answer directly, too lazy to think.

Catherine walked over slowly and reached out to try to touch Yi Chen's forehead, but the latter stepped back to pull him away.

She had no choice but to point to her forehead.

“[Idea]~Once an idea is implanted in a person's head, it is not only difficult to find, but also basically impossible to get rid of.

This idea will slowly combine after implantation until it becomes an integral part of the individual, affecting his most basic living habits, and even banning his original personality.

It cannot be detected by any quarantine equipment, and various conventional methods are ineffective.

That's the real perfect pathogen, don't you think?And the nightmares that 'we' are in control of are the perfect medium for conveying ideas. "

Regarding this point, Yi Chen did not deny it.

However, in Yi Chen's view, the girl or the source of the nightmare behind her is just using the idea as an excuse, and their real weapon is still the nightmare itself.

"Tell me, what's the point of coming to me? Although I am the first human being willing to go deep into the dream, there is no need to take the risk of being exposed to meet me."

"You're right, Mr William!
The reason 'we' want to meet you is not only that you are the first nightmare recipient, but also because you have abilities similar to ours.

Your crazy brain can also realize the transmission of "ideas", am I right?After all, so were the madmen of the Old World. "

What the girl is talking about is the enlightenment ability corresponding to Yi Chen's profession.

"Do you still want to unite with me and destroy this city that nurtured me and gave me care and care?"

"No... Although we often mess around, we won't do such stupid things, we just want to play a game with you.

You walked in from the front of the factory and saw that pieces of meat carrying "ideas" are flowing to every corner of your city.

When the time is right, we only need to give a fire to ignite all the thoughts in people's brains and give them a permanent [smile].

However, Mr. William, you have a chance to save everyone!As long as you play the game and win it, I will immediately wipe out all "thoughts" that have taken root in people's minds and evacuate here. "

"You have worked so hard to lurk in Zion for such a long time, infiltrating step by step, and now you are willing to stop after just playing a game, do you think I will believe it?"

Catherine seemed to have guessed that he would say this, and she was not in a hurry, "Haven't you already come to see me? It means that the most basic trust has begun to be established between us, doesn't it?

All I'm doing now is asking you to trust us,

For example, if you directly show such an important factory to you, if you don't want to participate in the game and don't want to communicate with us, you can leave now and report this factory to the organization, it doesn't matter at all. "

"Why do you have to play games with me?"

"Didn't you say it before? Because you share a common characteristic with us, and the gameplay is just related to this characteristic... You will know it by then, and it will be very interesting."

"Just for this game, are you willing to withdraw your efforts for several months?"

Catherine put a finger on her chin, and suddenly thought of something,
"Hey, let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time, a very skilled thief sneaked into a claw machine playground in the middle of the night, and he easily opened all the claw machine devices.

But he took out all the dolls and touched and selected them one by one,
Also experimented with the grab bar sensitivity of each machine,
In the end he put all the dolls back into the crane machine and put one of his favorite dolls where it was most likely to be clamped.

The next day when the store was open for business, he came and grabbed his favorite doll from the most easily controlled claw machine. That night he stayed up all night because he was so happy, and even wrote this joy in his diary. , are preserved forever.

The story is over~ William, can you understand what it means?

Like the thief, we came to this human city just for fun, to see what kind of special performance humans can have in their nightmares.

Who knows, if an interesting individual like you is suddenly inserted in the middle, the priority will naturally be raised.

As long as you come to the game site as required, we will sign an old world contract with you, as long as we lose!Evacuate Zion immediately, or even ask me to make an apology, but only for you. "

"What if I lose?"

"If you lose... join us in destroying the city and killing your friends, especially the woman who hugged you last night."

"When and where will the game be played?"

"No hurry, I haven't set up the game scene yet, and the props are still being prepared, as long as you bring the card with you, we can get in touch at any time.

I'll let you know when everything is ready. "

"Well, is there anything else?"

Catherine took a step to get close to her body, but Yi Chen turned sideways to avoid it completely.

"Can you not stay with that woman during this time, it's so uncomfortable to see us."

"It's none of your business."

"That's right, come first, come first, right? Then don't mind my peeping at night. If I do something too extreme, I may also do more excessive peeping than last night.

Be careful that I will record the whole process of your intimate behavior, and then spread it everywhere! "

"I'll go first if there's nothing to do."

"Okay, you go slowly!"

Catherine took a small step to the side wall of the secret room,

Creak creak~ A tentacle grows from the palm, spraying ink to draw a door leading to the outside world.

At the same time, she was obediently standing on one side, tiptoeing slightly.

Just as Yi Chen was about to leave, Catherine raised her little hand over her shoulder, shaking it from side to side, "Goodbye."

"Ah."

Yi Chen responded softly and walked out of the room, returning to the normal raw material factory in an instant.

Looking back, the room that had been invaded by the nightmare had returned to its original state, and the black-skinned executive with dreadlocks behind the desk had also turned into a smiling face, as if he had just had a good conversation with Yi Chen.

out of the workshop,

Little Putao immediately jumped out from the shoulder:
"William! Don't you really believe this bad woman? What kind of bullshit game must be deliberately leading you to the trap deep in the nightmare. It's all lies."

"It's not a lie, it can only be true and false.

The line with Catherine cannot be broken for the time being, and try to get more information before the game starts. "
