Nightmare Attack

"Fat man," Jiang Cheng looked at him and suddenly said, "How about you climb back up the tree again?"

Following the direction in which Chenran and Su Xiaoxiao were heading, Fatty Jiangcheng also followed. The deeper they walked into the forest, the more strange they became.

Every tree here looks the same at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, a sense of strangeness suddenly emerges.

This feeling immediately attracted the attention of Jiang Cheng and even Fatty.

They chose a tree at random and stood around to look at it. The more they looked at it, the more obvious the strange feeling became, as if it was constantly changing.

"Doctor," the fat man swallowed, "do you feel it?"

"Well," Jiang Cheng touched his chin and said, "In my subconscious perception, this tree is constantly changing, but my eyes tell me that it has not changed."

"That's right," Fatty nodded repeatedly. He didn't have as many adjectives as Jiang Cheng, but the feeling Jiang Cheng said was something that Fatty could really feel.

The tree is constantly changing, and this change is irreversible and non-repeatable.

At least in the two people's perceptions, that's the case.

"Stop looking," Jiang Cheng interrupted the fat man, and then walked in the designated direction, "Follow them first, and go take a look at the stone plate."

Along the way, the fat man followed the doctor closely. Even when the latter complained that he was in the way a few times, the fat man shamelessly put him off.

"Doctor," the fat man said confidently, "do you think we are the same person?"

Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and carefully searched his field of vision while whispering: "If you said this before you praised me as an orphan, I might still believe it."

The fat man closed his mouth angrily.

Since being with the doctor, Fatty feels that his whole body has become much more nervous. If he had encountered a similar situation before, he would have been so frightened that his mind went blank.

But now, although I am still scared, it is just fear.

Except for fear, everything else was normal. After being stared at by several pairs of eyes last night, especially the eyes of the old woman, he actually fell asleep in the end.

It's just that the dream is not perfect.

This was something that would have been unthinkable before.

He evolved!

Ah no, it’s progress!

He can even take the time to quarrel with the doctor in danger. These are all behaviors he produces unconsciously. However, after cordial communication with the doctor, his entire nerves will be relieved and he will become less nervous.

"Doctor," the fat man lowered his voice, "should we go faster? They have Su Xiaoxiao leading the way, so they will probably be much faster than us.

Jiang Cheng shook his head, "No, it's too quiet here. It's easy to be discovered if you walk fast."

"Then doctor, they should have arrived at the giant stone plate before us, but if they arrived first and didn't find us, wouldn't that reveal their secret?" The fat man tilted his head and asked.

"Not necessarily," Jiang Cheng said: "After all, no one knows how weird the giant stone plate is, or what kind of effect it will have."

"What Su Xiaoxiao described is probably just superficial. I always feel that the stone plate is not that simple." Jiang Cheng continued.

"Is being able to resurrect a corpse just a facade?" The fat man thought that the doctor was crazy.

"Fat man," Jiang Cheng suddenly asked, "What do you think of the people in Blackstone Town?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly replied: "Didn't you say it was something that was assimilated?" He blinked, as if he didn't understand the doctor's intention, "How else can we look at it?"

"Then do you think they know that they are the product of assimilation?" Jiang Cheng asked again.

"You should know," the fat man's tone showed a slight twist. Judging from his expression, he should be sure, but his tone betrayed him.

He was hesitating.

This issue is principled, it is either one or two, and there is no room for swing.

The fat man couldn't help but become cautious.

Soon, he figured out the reason why the doctor asked.

This involves the purpose of those things in Blackstone Town.

Without giving the fat man a chance to continue thinking, Jiang Cheng continued: "Fat man, I think they most likely know. Even if they didn't know before, in the days to come, they will feel that this body is different from before."

"And most importantly, there is the memory of that stone plate."

"I think if they have forgotten the memory of being killed and resurrected, then their memory should also be deprived of the episode about the strange stone plate." Jiang Cheng said, "They have no reason to remember it."

The fat man thought for a while, then nodded, "I think you are right, doctor. If their previous memories are erased, then the memory about the stone plate should not exist."

"Okay," Jiang Cheng said, "Now assuming that the people in Blackstone Town know that they are not real humans, they are just monsters with human bodies and emotions, then" Jiang Cheng suddenly looked at the fat man: "Why do they want to destroy the curse? "

"In other words, they are able to survive now because of this so-called curse. But once the curse is lifted, what will they become?"

Hearing this, the fat man slowly widened his eyes and looked at the doctor in horror, "They will turn back into corpses!"

"Maybe," Jiang Cheng gave an ambiguous answer, "but I think it won't turn into something good after all. To put it bluntly, it's not as good as now. At least they can survive and survive. But if the curse is lifted, they"

Jiang Cheng didn't finish his words, but Fatty already fully understood what he meant.

"So their purpose is not to destroy the curse at all?!" Fatty said: "The way they told us to keep the flame in the lighthouse is all a lie!"

"It's a scam, but I guess keeping the flame on the lighthouse burning must be of some benefit to them," Jiang Cheng looked at the fat man with a strange look, "otherwise they wouldn't have made such a big move."

"What's the benefit?" The fat man swallowed.

"Think about it for a moment," Jiang Cheng pushed aside the unsightly branches and slowed down his walking speed. "If you were them, what would you most want?"

"I want to escape from Blackstone Town. I don't want to stay in that dark place all my life!" Then, as if he suddenly realized something, the fat man said excitedly: "So doctors! They just want to escape from the cage-like Blackstone Town. , rather than breaking the curse!"

"Cursing and escaping from Blackstone Town on the sea are two different things!"

Jiang Cheng nodded, and his next words made Fatty freeze in place, "Fatboy," he raised his eyelids and said slowly, "Do you really believe that they discovered that stone plate by accident? "
