the last gentleman

Chapter 293 Getting Ready
【Power station】

An entire circular large flat floor was vacated as the "dream room" of the Nightmare Project, a total of [six] brains of death row prisoners were transported here for the final arrangement.

These brains are preserved in a cylindrical container filled with green gel, and various wires are inserted on the surface,

There are 4-6 glass bathtubs around each brain, which are also filled with green gel, and the dreamer will lie in them in pajamas.

This kind of liquid can better relieve their mental state, and can also strengthen the brain's sensing and improve their autonomy in dreams.

The names of the corresponding condemned prisoners are also pasted on the surface of the container containing the brains.

The information of the condemned prisoners is handed over to the corresponding dreaming members. After all, they will temporarily partner with this group of condemned prisoners in the dream.

Although the organization will offer the free conditions of "prosthetic bodies and brains" to death-row prisoners, it cannot guarantee that all death-row prisoners will cooperate obediently. It is necessary to properly understand them in advance.

No. 1 brain ['Street Vendor' Dallaire], an ordinary gentleman with white letters who had no hope of breaking through, wandered around in the lower area of ​​Zion, a small businessman who sold various supplies and even private medicine.It was subsequently found that at least eleven cases of disappearances and poisoning deaths in Zion were related to this person.

No. 2 brain ['Magic' Slona], every time the gentleman teamed up with her, at least one person will disappear or even die directly.Although the main reason lies in the mission itself, and even someone in the team did an alibi for her.

With the repeated incidents and the prediction of the prophet, Zion conducted a mandatory memory review on her, and found that she would use tricks and tricks in every mission to induce one of the team to make a mistake and die.

No. 3 brain ['farmer' Bricklin], the initiator of the human-pig incident in Kefan Town.

Brain No. 4 ['Cutter' Edoma], she is a tailor who was sent to Tweek City by the organization. Quick Repair Costumes also get a quick serving of Meat for energy.

But also because of her appearance, there have been many disappearances in the city.After the Dongchuang incident, she killed several local gentlemen who came to arrest her in an attempt to escape, but was eventually arrested by force.

Brain No. 5 [Grumpy Machado], the executioner of Gethsemane, lost control of his emotions in a multiplayer team, killed all the members of other teams, and also killed the teammates who tried to stop his atrocities, and finally surrendered himself .

Central brain ['Silver Devil', 'Founder of Twilight Silver Liquid', 'Twilight Clinic founder' Dr. McCoff].

The above are the death row prisoners corresponding to the six brains, and it also means that there will be six teams dreaming together.

but,

Although the six teams are all made up of 'Breakers', the combat power of the teams is not equal. In other words, one team's level is frighteningly high, far surpassing the other teams.

They can almost symbolize the highest combat power of the organization,
In contrast, the greater role of the other five teams is not to infiltrate the nightmare, but to help the team distract from the nightmare, so that the sharp knife team can reach the root cause and kill the target faster.

Moreover, the brain center used by the sharp knife team is also the famous silver demon-Dr. Mycroft.

A large number of people in pajamas gathered here, some were looking through the files of the executed prisoners, some were doing exercises that could relax the body, and some gathered together to discuss the next dream.

At this moment, there was a loud noise next to him.

"What, William really didn't come to participate! Impossible, he is the most active in this kind of thing."

Looking for the noise, it was Miss Jin who came here.

She rushed here to join Reagan. She thought she would go on a nightmare exploration again, but was told that William Behrens, the captain, had left the city.

Yi Chen didn't tell her such an important matter, so angry that Jin almost couldn't hold back his sword and chopped off the brain of the nearby death row prisoner.

Reagan persuaded from the side: "William must have his reasons for not participating. Let's be an outside audience this time and enjoy the performances of the seniors."

"No...William must be planning something. I'm going outside the city to find him."

Just as Jin left alone angrily, and was about to pass through a security door, a strange voice suddenly came from beside him that went straight into his brain.

"Since you are sure that William will not give up the nightmare plan, maybe he participated in other places alone, if you sleep with the big army here, maybe you can meet him in the dream." 』

The words that directly echoed in his mind made Jin stunned for a moment. He turned his head to look at the security door he had just passed through, and found an employee who was overhauling the verification equipment there, with an unnatural smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although these words are strange, Jin agrees very much. Based on her understanding of William, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to leave without saying goodbye at this time. There must be some reason, and it is even possible to sneak into a dream.

Just when Jin hesitated and hesitated, another voice came.

But this time it was a voice she was familiar with,
"Jin, what are you doing here? There is an urgent mission on the other side of Gethsemane. We are currently short of manpower. Come back with me."

On the other side of the aisle, there was actually Instructor Bailey with a golden ponytail tied on. The familiar outfit of the black silk skirt was too eye-catching.

"Instructor Bailey, why are you here?"

Jin was a little curious. Bailey rarely left Gethsemane, and she never even saw the instructor go out.

"Come and see this group of guys participating in the Nightmare Project. After all, there are my acquaintances... Come with me quickly."

"Okay, hey~ It's really boring."

Jin seemed helpless, but in fact, she could recognize the highest coded information through Bailey's standing posture, the slightly forked toes between the black silk and the regular tapping of her right index finger.

After they left, the smiling staff tilted their heads slightly, as if a little regretful.

……

Zion - Lower Street
There is still one hour left before [afternoon], when the appointment ends.

Yi Chen, who still had a little starlight in his eyes, just stepped out of the elevator and stood at a street corner, looking for the new address given behind the nightmare card.

"Grumme Street - 33"

It took about 10 minutes for Yi Chen to find the corresponding location at the end of a downhill street. In front of him was a low-rent apartment, which was the organization's last sympathy for some gentlemen who did not seek to make progress, did not want to take risks, and had a difficult life.

When the disguised Yi Chen took out the nightmare card in front of the dilapidated apartment building, the reminder on the back changed again.

From street names and building numbers to a series of strange arrow symbols, each symbol is also thoughtfully commented.

↑Corresponding to upstairs

←Go one room to the left,
→ Go right to a room

↓Enter

When Yi Chen walked into the apartment building following the prompts, the light dimmed instantly. The electricity here had already been cut off, and the residents living here were lit by candles.

From time to time, a smiling resident holding a candle can be seen standing aside, or in the window of the room.

Yi Chen followed the prompts to the fourth room on the right side of the sixth floor of the apartment.

Oddly enough, the next prompt corresponds to three consecutive ↓↓↓, implying the need to go inward three times.

But the rented house in front of me is just a one-bedroom house, with no internal rooms at all.

The only thing there is a wardrobe against the wall.

Yi Chen came to the closet cautiously, and when he opened the old and dilapidated closet door, he was stunned for a moment by the scene in front of him.

The inside of the closet actually corresponds to a deep and dark passage, and there is a candle on the side of the closet door.

According to the analysis of the current street and apartment building's shape and structure, it is impossible for such an unreasonable passage structure to appear. Yi Chen even wondered if he had fallen into a dream.

Hold up the candle and step into the passageway between the closets.

At the end is a black and white door, which also corresponds to the last ↓ symbol on the card.

Gently pushing the door open, there is a warmer bedroom with some circus elements in front of you.

The girl with a white background and black shape covered her upper body with a checked quilt, and the black and white leg socks slightly protruded from the quilt.

When she saw Yi Chen coming in, she excitedly patted the spare part of the bed beside her.

"Come on~ It's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
