Nightmare Attack

"It happened." Jiang Cheng answered without hesitation.

An inexplicable evil smile filled the fat man's face. He stretched his neck, licked his lips, squinted his eyes and asked knowingly: "What have you done?"

"She asked me about the newspaper before," Jiang Cheng replied: "After she realized she was not good enough for me, she turned against me and wanted to take the newspaper back."

The fat man was stunned for a moment, then blinked after a long while and asked in a low voice: "Then what?"

Jiang Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the fat man. He said nothing for the first time, but his eyes revealed a lot of information to the fat man.

The fat man's throat rolled, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"I told her that the newspaper was snatched away by you," Jiang Cheng leaned back in his chair, looked up at the fat man after a few seconds, and continued: "Remember to make up the rest yourself. If you do it next time, Don’t let it slip when you meet her.”

"Doctor," the fat man's face trembled, "don't you think you have to find the reason within yourself for the fact that you are an orphan?"

The conversation between the two seemed to have ended very hastily and unpleasantly, which Jiang Cheng could see from the fat man's behavior afterwards.

After breakfast, Jiang Cheng sat at his desk and started working. He took out the medical records of several follow-up patients, and then called their relatives to inquire about the patients' recovery status.

But as soon as the call was connected, either the sound of "table tennis pong" being repaired could be heard upstairs, or the frantic sound of chopping melons and vegetables could be heard in the kitchen.

Those who knew clearly knew that the fat man was picking up the fish, but those who didn't know thought he was dismembering the fish.

There was no other way, so Jiang Cheng had no choice but to invite someone over to talk.

The time is set for the afternoon.

Noon arrived soon, and Jiang Cheng was going to take advantage of lunch time to behave better and try to reconcile with Fatty.

He was going to praise the fat man's craftsmanship.

But as soon as the dishes were served, Jiangcheng turned off the heat.

Fatty divided each dish equally into two portions.

For example, for the spicy chicken dish, the plate in front of Jiang Cheng was filled with chili peppers, while the plate in front of Fatty was filled with chicken.

The same goes for sweet and sour fish. The fish head belongs to you and the fish body belongs to the fat man.

After Jiang Cheng lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of food, he finally couldn't help but tentatively stretched his chopsticks to the fat man's plate. Unexpectedly, the next second the fat man silently picked up the meat on the plate and put it all into his bowl. Then he lowered his head and mixed it to eat.

Jiang Cheng stared at the red rice in the fat man's bowl and couldn't help but smack his lips a few times.

"Fat man," Jiang Cheng asked in a very affectionate manner, "I remember you once worked as a cook at the Yellow Crane Tower Hotel. Your cooking skills are really good. If you can keep doing this, maybe you will be promoted to the position of chef." is yours!"

"You remember wrong, doctor," the fat man said without raising his head, "I work as a cleaner in Yellow Crane Tower, mainly responsible for the bathroom."

After a while

"I've finished eating," the fat man stood up and said while clearing the plates and dishes, "I still have to wash the dishes. Doctor, please eat slowly."

The fat man carried his bowls and chopsticks and returned to the kitchen. A few seconds later, there was the sound of water flowing and the crisp clang of bowls and chopsticks.

Jiang Cheng lowered his head and looked at the intact half of the sweet and sour fish that the fat man left on the plate.

After lunch, Jiang Cheng went upstairs to take a lunch break. After all, he had just come out of a nightmare yesterday, and the energy consumed could not be made up in one night.

After three nightmare missions, he gradually figured out some of the taboos, or rules.

First, behind each door is a completely different world, but that world is real in a sense, as if it is a fragment plucked from the distant history by the hand of God.

No matter what they do, they can't change the ending of the story, all they can change is the process.

That's all.

Second, nightmare is like an amplified selection mechanism, with its own rewards and punishments.

There is no need to mention the punishment, I will tell you the ghost inside.

And this so-called reward is Jiang Cheng's biggest concern.

At present, he already knows that under the premise that all teammates are dead, if the last person left can successfully complete the mission, then he will get a blank piece of paper.

And it is said that this piece of paper can ward off ghosts.

Of course it won't be permanent, just once. After use, this blank paper will disappear.

This is what Yu Wen, who was saved by him in the previous book, told him. She also relied on the blank paper to survive the attack of the ghost.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and Chen Xiaomeng's figure appeared in his mind again.

In the abandoned building of the Qian family, Chen Xiaomeng was able to escape from the hands of the ghost while being locked in the closet. This is probably something that cannot be explained by luck.

She should also have a piece of paper like this in her hand.

But it was also used up under the attack of the ghost.

This also explains why when he was searched later, he only found clues and photos, but not the life-saving white paper.

Judging from the contact in the first mission, Chen Xiaomeng was completely familiar with the trick of killing her teammates. If she hadn't come out of nowhere to turn the tide, she would have succeeded again.

She is much stronger than Yu Wen, so she should naturally have such things in her hands.

Jiang Cheng chose to write the book alone this time with the intention of getting a piece of this thing to see, but unexpectedly, this time he was overtaken by a woman named Li Lu.

He's not arrogant enough to kill all his teammates, but he has a way of extracting some good stuff from them.

Chen Xiaomeng is the best example.

It's a pity that he started a step too late, otherwise the blank piece of paper would have been his.

Third, this is something Jiang Cheng has not figured out yet, which is the relationship between the newspaper and the white paper in the reward, but he can see that the priority of the newspaper is lower than that of the white paper.

After all, the latter can save lives.

But if we must say that white paper is better than newspaper, that is not necessarily the case, because the functions of the two are different.

White paper was used to save lives, and newspapers recorded some clues in the mission.

For example, if you have to choose one of the two, if an ordinary person writes the book, then try to choose the clue newspaper to have a greater chance of survival.

Because it is difficult for them to go very far on the way to survive relying solely on reasoning. Even if they have a chance to save their lives, they will still die after the chance is exhausted.

And death will be even more painful.

To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like a blindfolded prisoner kneeling on the ground waiting to be shot. However, when the executioner fired the gun, he discovered that it was a dud.

Then you can only change a bullet and shoot again.

But the result was the same. They were all going to die anyway, and they suffered a wave of shock before they died. Thinking about it this way, having a blank sheet of paper would be worse for them than not having anything at all.

But for high-level players like Li Lu and Chen Xiaomeng, the situation is completely different.
