Nightmare Attack

Seeing Jiang Cheng agreeing so happily, the fat man was dumbfounded. "Doctor," he trembled on his lips, "the second way is"

"Let's stay and wait and see," Jiang Cheng said.

"Huh..." The fat man let out a long breath. He thought he was going to be tricked by the doctor again.

"When those things in Blackstone Town appear at night, you go meet them and find out what they say." Jiang Cheng looked out the window and said with encouragement: "Since the mission is about to end, I think there will be many abnormalities in them. , you go for a walk around the town and tell me."

The fat man was dumbfounded, and after a while he said in shock: "Am I going alone?"

"Nonsense," Jiang Cheng said, "It's so dangerous and you still want to drag me along. Do you have any conscience?"

In this way, the two of them lit the torches, grabbed a few spare ones, and prepared to wait downstairs. Of course, this time they were not stained by the white grease from before.

Originally, the fat man had hoped that Blackstone Town on the sea would not appear again after dark, but reality soon hit him in the face, and the town with bright lights not only appeared.

And they went out in full force.

A tidal army composed of countless torches began to march towards them.

A rough estimate was that there were probably no less than a few hundred people.

The entire Blackstone Town was boiling.

It seems that their estimate is good. Those ghosts who are neither human nor fish can indeed sense some things happening on their side, but they don't know from what perspective.

Was it the stone plate that touched it, or the old woman beside him.

"Doctor," the fat man cried sadly, "I'm not cruel, but if we go down to see those things, we'll probably die. It's better to just do this to this old woman."

"Then you come?"

"Doctor, I can't do it, so don't force me," the fat man almost cried. On one side was an army of monsters wearing human skins coming like a tide, and on the other side was the real monster.

This multiple-choice question is going to be very difficult for him.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, looked at the torches surging on the dark sea, and said slowly: "Believe me for the last time," he said, "Follow me, I still have something to prove."

"The doctor is different this time. If he is wrong, it will be the last time."

"Know."

Seeing the doctor insisting, Fatty had nothing to say. If it was like what the doctor said, he could easily deal with Chenran, then with the doctor's combat index, he might be able to fight smaller fishmen. Everyone comes and goes.

Thinking of this, Fatty felt strangely at ease.

"Doctor," before going out, the fat man pointed at the old woman huddled in the corner, smiling "hehehe" at them, "are we just going to leave her here?"

After realizing that the old woman was staring at him, the fat man immediately retracted his fingers, as if he was afraid of being bitten.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Tie them up."

After tying the old woman tightly and stuffing her into a basket of firewood, the two left together.

While helping the doctor, the fat man accidentally touched the old woman's abdomen and found that it was bulging. He was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand and his face changed.

Holding torches, the two went down the stairs. The fat man took advantage of the last opportunity to ask the doctor many questions.

For example, what does he think of Blackstone Town?

The doctor's answer is that Blackstone Town should be real, but not on the surface of the sea, but on the bottom of the sea.

It would emerge from the sea strangely every night, and the sea water I saw near the stone plate would pour in, and the town would be submerged. This is how it came about.

Those ugly ghosts use Blackstone Town on the seabed as their base and attack ships that happen to pass by. Because of their cruel methods, there are almost no survivors, so their secrets have been buried to this day.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some large organizations know about this place, but it is limited to knowing that there are weird things here, and ships often crash nearby.

"That means they all appear as monsters in the eyes of those people?" Fatty asked.

"should be."

"Then why are they in front of us?"

"Why is he a human?" Jiang Cheng glanced at him.

"right."

"Again, the rules restrict us. We can't see through their identities, otherwise how could they confuse us," Jiang Cheng answered naturally, holding a torch.

"But this is too unfair to us," Fatty said worriedly, "The advantages are all in the hands of the other party. As those who were selected into this world and experienced it, we have almost no advantage. Even if we can get a life-saving white paper, we still have no advantage. It also takes a lot of effort to find clues and newspapers, and you have to prioritize making sure you survive the first mission.”

"Two points," Jiang Cheng's tone suddenly became a little stiff, "Fat man, why don't you understand that the rules are not just for us, but for this mission, and even every plant and tree in the mission world, must follow this the rule of."

"Let me ask you," he turned a corner and kept his body as close to the wall as possible, "what would happen if those ghosts in Blackstone Town saw people in reality?"

The fat man replied without hesitation: "Take it away and eat the meat."

"But when they saw us, it was not like this, at least not at first," Jiang Cheng said. "They also invited us to eat meat and explained to us the curse and the ins and outs of their experiences."

"Of course," he added, "it's also true that they weren't telling the truth."

“You can understand that we are experiencing a highly restored role-playing game. Everyone has a role to play, and we can only act within the rules of the role, whether it is us or other things in the script. "

"And there's one more thing," Jiang Cheng paused and turned to look at the fat man. The torch in Jiang Cheng's hand was lowered, making his face blurry.

For a moment, it actually made the fat man feel strange.

"If there were no rules, do you think it would be possible for us to defeat those weird things?" Jiang Cheng asked calmly.

This seemingly insignificant sentence actually hit the weakest point in Fatty's heart.

In the first copy, there was a family of four who took pleasure in being imprisoned and tortured, in the second copy there was a girl with a broken jaw on campus, and in the current copy, there is a cannibal, a huge monster attached to people.

When rules are ignored, these things are completely irresistible and even incomprehensible.

No matter how smart and resourceful you are, these things cannot be fought against.

Their existence itself is a challenge to existing human cognition and theoretical foundations.

"So" his eyes widened, and the fat man's breathing became uncontrollably rapid, "those rules were actually set up to protect us?!"

Jiang Cheng turned around and walked down.
