The final gentleman

An hour ago.

Hanging on the street lamp, Yi Chen took in the panoramic view of Nightmare Town and also captured the 'residents' wandering in the town. However, this group of seemingly humanoid guys were obviously abnormal.

For example, the woman hanging on the street lamp next to her always keeps smiling with her big tearing mouth.

The passerby’s face was completely buried in the newspaper, and the smiling bloody face reflected on the other side of the newspaper,

Or the old aunt who is knitting sweaters at home. If you look closely, you will find that the yarn comes from her belly and she is weaving her inexhaustible blood vessels into clothes. She is also smiling the whole time.

Or the teenagers who play football with their friends on the backyard lawn. They will choose a person's head to play football by drawing lots, and then replace the head based on the victory or defeat.

Whoever scores a goal will be kicked in the head. Everyone seems to like the feeling of being kicked in the head, and laughter comes one after another.

Each of the residents is eccentric, but they all share the common denominator of a smile.

But ~ These nightmare residents are only weird, and their strength is very average. Even if Yi Chen wants to kill, it will be effortless, let alone a terrifying team with prophet, Zed and others.

However, Yi Chen also saw that Catherine's real intention of setting up the townspeople was not to use them to threaten the team members, 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 team members relax their vigilance or are alone, they can pretend to be harmless residents and sneak up on them secretly.

Yi Chen then looked at some open areas in the countryside 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, and I cannot expand the space or create large buildings... We must maintain the stability of the game scene as much as possible.

Of course, for the sake of fairness, I will share with you the creation process of Nightmare Town and all the detailed information. "

As soon as she finished speaking, a smoky tentacle came out of Catherine's mouth and was specially skewered with a steel skewer.

Yi Chen didn't hesitate for something like this, which was related to the outcome of the game, and directly popped it into his mouth.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a balance of toughness and elasticity, the taste is really refreshing, even better than the best-tasting squid in Yi Chen's impression.

Such delicacies made Yi Chen more curious about the circus behind Catherine.

With the intake of squid tentacles, the creation of Nightmare Town and the settings of the townspeople were all poured into his mind.

These townsfolk are not completely fictional, but come from people who died in nightmares, and their consciousnesses are trapped here forever, under the complete control of Catherine.

Catherine watched Yi Chen eating with gusto, and she was very pleased herself, and continued to add:

"Although we cannot create new areas and large buildings, we still have the right to control the space. We can modify the original space to confuse and mislead this group of foreign dreamers.

At that time, I will try my best to separate them into different areas one by one.

Otherwise, depending on the strength of this group of people, if we let them stay together and act collectively, it will be very troublesome, and they may even kill us in turn. "

"How are you going to take them apart? A team like this won't be easily fooled."

"Just watch my performance then~ Of course, it is not 100% successful. If the dismantling fails, we can only use coercive measures... Okay! Let me show you the corresponding personal scores of this team, our victory or defeat But it’s closely related to them.”

Catherine took one of Yi Chen's hands and pushed open the door of a bungalow on the roadside.

Click~

After pushing the door open, the space transfer was realized, and the two of them came directly to the central street of Nightmare Town.

The movie curtain is being drawn here, and an old-fashioned projector is left behind.

As a smiling town citizen inserted the film, the heads of the Knife Squad members and their corresponding score lists were displayed.

The points awarded for defeating each person are divided into four levels:

1. Kill by force (no idea is implanted in the whole process, or the method of idea implantation fails to take effect).

2. Influence the individual through thought implantation, and then kill the target through other means.

3. Inducing individuals to commit suicide or kill their companions through thought implantation.

4. Total servitude.

[Double-Faced Prophet-Marco and Martin] The points available are -7, 14, 28, 50

[Silver Demon-Doctor Mycroft] Scores available - 3, 5, 10, 20

【Wrinkled skin-? ? 】Available points-?

[Detonation-Romary Tahan] can obtain scores of 4, 8, 12, 25

[Prosthesis-Kimberly Cabrera] can obtain scores of 5, 10, 15, 30

[Corpse-Hogni Zed] can obtain scores of 6, 12, 24, 45

After reading the above scores, the first thing that popped up in Yi Chen's mind was Teacher Zed's score. Although it ranked second among the teams after Two-Faced Prophet, in Yi Chen's opinion, such scores were definitely low.

But he didn't say it out loud,

In this game, he will do everything possible to avoid meeting Teacher Zede... Yi Chen knows very well that even if he has transformed into a nightmare and has the absolute advantage in dreams, he cannot defeat Teacher Zede.

In addition, there are two people on the scoreboard that he cares about.

"It's actually Dr. Mycroft...Catherine, I made an agreement with a friend that if I meet this doctor, I must execute him with my own hands.

Can you save Dr. Mycroft for last and let me handle it? "

"Do you mean the old man with the lowest corresponding score currently? Okay... I won't fight with you about this guy. By the way, who is your friend? Have I seen it? Is it the girl named Jin? ?”

"No, you haven't seen it... By the way, what's going on with that [Wrinkled Skin]? Why doesn't he have any points?"

"Hey~ Didn't I say that? This score list is not fixed, it's just their strength based on their appearance and the personal information I can find in Zion.

With their activities and performance in Nightmare Town, the score list will also change. As a nightmare, you can check it at any time... If you feel that someone's score is not right, you may test it first before taking action.

There is currently no information about this 'Wrinkled Skin', and even my informants within the organization couldn't find any clues. He didn't say a word as he went deep into the nightmare. He is a rather mysterious character.

However, I will find an opportunity to test it in Nightmare Town and determine his score as soon as possible.

How about this! William, if you are willing to take the risk and give this wrinkled skin a try, as long as you can get him to take action and show specific personal strength, I will give you five points as a reward. "

"Not going."

"Hey~ you are boring, you are not proactive at all."

"I have my own arrangements."

Yi Chen could preliminarily deduce from the appearance in the picture that this mysterious man was likely to be related to the Shenpi Mansion or even the First Gentleman. He would never take the initiative to contact such an unknown risk.

"Okay~ I need to start laying out along the way. Separate them as much as possible! William, you can wander around, or you can come over and help me lay out together."

"Let me help...maybe I can improve the success rate of separating them."

…

【Knife Squad】

When the six people arrived at the outskirts of Nightmare Town, they did not go along the main road immediately. Instead, they headed to a dilapidated bungalow on the roadside.

As soon as I opened the door,

Several homeless people with big bellies that felt like they might explode at any time rushed out of the house. Just when they were about to swoop in and explode,

Snapped!

There was a snap of fingers from the team.

The homeless group was burned to ashes in an instant, not even half of the limbs were left. Romary, who looked like a dean, blew her fingers gently, seeming to be very disappointed with such inferior nightmare creatures.

Everyone enters the bungalow.

An electromagnetic field spread from the inside, and multiple layers of barriers with different properties appeared at the same time, completely isolating the bungalow from the outside world. Even Catherine couldn't 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 sleeping clothes and changed into gentleman's clothes that are exactly the same as in reality. They can perfectly use the abilities related to the Gentleman's Skin to completely isolate the influence of nightmare substances and combat assistance.
