The final gentleman

This sugar cube was not the grilled squid that I had tried before. If converted into a specific quantity, it would probably be equivalent to a deep-sea giant octopus with a length of more than fifty meters.

The moment the sugar cube fell into the body, it was like opening the prison of a giant octopus, and the severely compressed body began to expand and recover.

If it were a gentleman of the same level as Yi Chen, his body would be exploded in less than a second, and his brain would be completely invaded by the essence of nightmare in a short period of time, transforming into an indescribable tentacled monster.

However, when this big nightmare octopus tried to spread inside Yi Chen's body, it was first squeezed and restrained by a kind of abnormal flesh. The stable space formed between muscles and bones squeezed and restricted this big octopus.

Immediately afterwards, the octopus heard the sound of iron chains that made it feel physically painful.

Banglanglang~

The "Acupuncture Iron Chain" produced in the source of the epidemic - the Torment Monastery felt the invasion of foreign pathogens and immediately began to become restless.

Since the iron chain has been perfectly integrated with Yi Chen's body,

Clothing outside the body,

The body is its territory, and any foreign things will eventually be brought to justice.

Driven by iron chains, the big octopus and all its tentacles that were trying to spread inside the body were tightly entangled, and each sharp thorn was inserted into the tentacles.

The tentacle groups that were squeezed by the iron chain and stimulated by pain immediately tried to escape to the brain.

When the big octopus crossed its neck, it was blocked by the aura of death flowing out of the black brain. This aura that interested the Death Plague Knights naturally also made it feel the most intuitive death, and it did not dare to approach it at all.

The big octopus thought it had found a brand new container, but instead it felt like it had fallen into a devil's cave.

However, because the big octopus is large enough, Yi Chen seems to be suppressing it, but in fact he is also very uncomfortable... In order to restrain this big octopus, he needs to focus almost all his energy on it, and he can't even walk on the outside. .

"This is not okay~ I must control the nightmare substance instead of fighting against it. If I cannot obtain the nightmare power, I will always be at a disadvantage and it is impossible to win this game.

Wait...can this be done? 』

An idea flashed in Yi Chen's mind, and he began to use a basic ability given by his profession - [Central Taste]

This basic ability allows Yi Chen to absorb the patient's brain tissue fluid, transform it and absorb it. This nightmare substance should also be classified as a product of the patient's brain.

Facts have proved that Yi Chen's idea was right.

Since the iron chain contains the properties of the original plant, the needle points inserted all over the body of the big octopus are directly used for sucking.

Wisps of nightmare material began to be ingested and transformed into Yi Chen's own things, and then sent to the brain area in an orderly manner.

After layers of screening by the epileptic brain, safe and stable nightmare substances are finally absorbed into the brain, and a new "nightmare power" is being developed in the brain.

As Catherine said, she gave away part of her nightmare authority to achieve the so-called "fair competition".

not far away,

Catherine took out a bag of peanuts from her treasure chest and sat on the ground to eat while watching the 'nightmare transformation' that was taking place in Yi Chen.

She still played some tricks. Although the contract stated that as long as William wins the game, the nightmare substance will be removed from his body, there is no guarantee that the intake of nightmare substance will not affect him. It may even be because of this prescription. Sugar leads to complete slavery, and nightmare transformation.

In the worst case scenario, Yi Chen's human form and humanity will be erased.

But it turns out that this cautious approach doesn't work.

Seeing the tentacles floating under Yi Chen's skin slowly weakening in a short period of time, Catherine was also surprised.

"Incredible~ He can really hold on, and he is still turning nightmares into his own possessions! Let me just say, William can definitely do it, and everyone is willing to admit defeat."

As for whether William can hold on and control the origin of the nightmare while maintaining himself,

The 'they' inside Catherine played a gamble.

The chip is [position]

Some women who lost bets were forced to move to key parts of their bodies. Their bodies would be twisted into spring twists to improve the elasticity and toughness of their joints.

Or they are forced together in small groups and become a key bearing.

…

【Nightmare Transformation】

Although the nightmare substance transformed and absorbed by Yi Chen became harmless, it was still a nightmare, a negative substance filled with darkness in Catherine's mind.

And the quantity is large enough to cause qualitative changes.

As these things were absorbed into Yi Chen's brain and triggered the individual's "nightmare transformation", Yi Chen's thoughts were also brought back to his life, recalling some "out of control" past events.

The experience of growing up in an orphanage, working for the organization as a deceased person, and the work content was all about hunting down "weird people" disguised as humans.

Even though I went to Lushan Mental Hospital every month to have a psychological talk with Dr. Lu Xinlu, something still went wrong.

When Yi Chen, who was only fifteen years old, was dealing with a complicated and bizarre incident, he killed all humanoid life including his companions and surrounding civilians as weird.

Later, he was suppressed by the higher-ups of the organization and imprisoned in a mental hospital for two full years.

During his imprisonment, Yi Chen would dream every night, dreaming about the massacre scene, and dreaming about the killed people turning into nightmares to seek his life.

As the memories of the past are unblocked and overflowed,

The black liquid that represents death actually undergoes a sexual change, and perfectly combines with the absorbed nightmare substance, accelerating the completion of nightmare transformation.

Snapped!

Yi Chen's back suddenly exploded, and six symmetrical iron chains burst out and fell to the ground one after another.

Immediately afterwards, billowing and rich ink-colored gas overflowed from the wounds, covering the surface of these iron chains and performing 'nightmare modification', and finally wrapped the iron chains into tentacle-like shapes.

Swaying and squirming on the back,

It can even hold up Yi Chen's body and serve as a walking tool instead of his legs.

And these six back tentacles are completely different from Catherine's,

Because the iron chain serves as the main shaft of the tentacle, it is thicker, more powerful, and less likely to be damaged.

The surface of the tentacles also has a black luster symbolizing death, and there is even black liquid dripping from the tail.

It can be said to be more dangerous.

As the nightmare became more complete, Yi Chen's consciousness gradually stabilized. He could feel that he had gained some kind of indescribable "authority", which allowed him to do anything in the dream.

Without the assistance of gentleman's clothing, Yi Chen could not see the changes in his own attributes, but he could probably guess that he had acquired an ability system called "Nightmare" and could use it without restriction in this game.

at the same time,

He brushed his hands over his face and used the nightmare substance to create a faceless mask for himself that could not be removed so as not to reveal his identity in the game.

When Catherine jumped up from behind and wanted to congratulate Yi Chen, she was also ready to teach him some methods of dream control.

Uh-huh!

Because I feel something approaching,

The six back tentacles suddenly attacked Catherine, and finally hung in front of her within a hair's breadth.

"It's really scary, William! You are more adaptable than those lunatics. You have mastered nightmare control so quickly and can use it skillfully. But I threw an oversized nightmare octopus into your body. Most people would have died long ago." .

how do you feel? "

As Catherine asked,

Yi Chen, who was slightly stooped and shrouded in a black cloak, slowly turned his head and stared at the other person with a faceless mask.

His voice did not come out from under the mask, but echoed directly in the current dream space.

"good."
