The final gentleman

Yi Chen stared at the clown-like girl in front of him, and at the same time asked Xiao Putao to open up his overall vision, always being on guard against possible nightmare attacks.

"Who are you?"

The girl gently pressed her nose and said, "Call me Catherine."

"Are you the root? Or an ordinary derivative?"

"Well~ I can't tell you yet. Of course, when we get to know each other to a certain extent, I will consider telling you this secret quietly, hahaha!"

The girl wears exaggerated black smiling face makeup and feels like she is smiling all the time.

"Is the purpose of calling me here just to show off your 'invasion results'? Combine nightmare substances with daily meat products to infect the whole city."

"no no!"

Catherine quickly denied, stepping on the ground with the soles of her feet covered with black and white stockings, and explained as she walked.

"It's not appropriate to use the word infection to describe it. It would be more appropriate to use the word "implantation" because what we put in is very special and is very different from common pathogens.

By the way, William! Do you know what is the most stubborn thing in human beings or living beings with the ability to think? "

"I don't know." Yi Chen just waited for the answer, not bothering to think.

Catherine walked over slowly and reached out to touch Yi Chen's forehead, but the latter stepped back and pulled away.

She had no choice but to point to her head.

"[Ideas]~ Once an idea is implanted in a person's head, it is not only difficult to detect, but also basically impossible to get rid of.

This idea will slowly combine after being implanted until it becomes an indispensable part of the individual, affecting his most basic living habits and even destroying his original personality.

It cannot be detected by any quarantine equipment, and all conventional methods will not work.

This is the truly perfect pathogen, don’t you think? And the nightmares that ‘we’ control are the perfect medium for conveying ideas. "

Yi Chen did not deny this.

However, in Yi Chen's opinion, this girl or the source of the nightmare behind her is just an excuse. Their real weapon is still the nightmare itself.

"Tell me, why do you want to come to me? Even though I am the first human being willing to go deep into the dream world, there is no need to risk being exposed to meet me."

"You are right, Mr. William!

The reason why 'we' want to see you is not only because you are the first nightmare recipient, but also because you have abilities similar to ours.

Your epileptic brain can also transmit "ideas", am I right? After all, the same was true for those lunatics in the old world. "

What the girl was talking about was exactly the teaching ability corresponding to Yi Chen's profession.

"Do you still want to join forces with me to destroy this city that nurtured me and gave me care and attention?"

"No...although we often mess around, we don't do stupid things like this. We just want to play a game with you.

As you walked in from the front of the factory, you saw that pieces of meat carrying "ideas" are continuously flowing to every corner of your city.

When the time comes, we only need to give a fire to ignite all the ideas in people's brains and give them a permanent "smile".

However, Mr. William, you have a chance to save everyone! As long as you participate in the game and win, I will immediately remove all "ideas" rooted in people's minds and evacuate here. "

"You have worked hard to lurk in Zion for such a long time, infiltrating step by step, and now you are willing to stop as long as you play a game. Do you think I will believe it?"

Catherine seemed to have guessed that he would say this, and was not at all anxious, "Didn't you come to see me already? It means that we have begun to establish the most basic trust between us, right?"

What I'm doing now is hoping you can trust us,

For example, if we directly show you such an important factory, if you don’t want to participate in the game or continue to communicate with us, you can leave now and report this factory to the organization. It doesn’t matter. "

"Why do you have to play games with me?"

"Didn't I say it before? Because you and we have a common characteristic, and the gameplay is related to this characteristic... You will know by then that it will be particularly interesting."

"Are you willing to withdraw all your months of hard work just for this game?"

Catherine put a finger on her chin and tilted her head to the side, suddenly thinking of something.

"Hey~ let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time, one day, a particularly skilled thief sneaked into a claw machine amusement park in the middle of the night, and he easily opened all the claw machine devices.

But he took out all the dolls and touched and selected them one by one.

At the same time, I also tried the grab rod sensitivity of each machine.

Finally, he put all the dolls back into the claw machine and placed his favorite doll where it would be most likely to be caught.

The next day when the store was open for business, he came and grabbed his favorite doll from the claw machine that was easiest to control. That night, he stayed up all night because he was so happy that he even wrote this joy in his diary. , preserved forever.

The story is over~ William, can you understand the meaning?

We are the same as this thief. We came to this human city just for fun and to see what kind of special performance humans can do in the nightmare.

Who knows, if an interesting individual like you is suddenly inserted in the middle, the priority will naturally be raised.

As long as you come to the game site as required, we will sign an old world contract with you, as long as we lose! Evacuate Zion immediately, or even ask me to apologize, but only to you. "

"What if I lose?"

"If you lose... then join us in destroying this city and killing your friends, especially the woman who held you last night."

"When and where will the game be played?"

"Don't worry, I haven't set up the game scene yet, and the props are still being prepared. As long as you bring the card with you, we can get in touch at any time.

I'll let you know when everything is ready. "

"Well, is there anything else?"

Catherine took a step forward to get closer to her body, but Yi Chen turned sideways and completely avoided her.

"Can you please stop staying with that woman during this period? It makes us uncomfortable to look at her."

"It's none of your business."

"That's right, first come, first served, right? Then don't mind my peeping at night. If you do something too extreme, I might do even more extreme peeping than last night.

Be careful, I will record your entire intimate behavior and spread it everywhere! "

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Okay, walk slowly!"

Catherine took a small leap and came to the side wall of the secret room.

Gajigaji~ A tentacle grows from the palm, sprays ink and draws a door to the outside world.

She also stood obediently on one side, slightly tiptoeing.

Just when Yi Chen was about to leave, Catherine raised her little hand over her shoulder and shook it from side to side, "Bye."

"Um."

Yi Chen responded softly and walked out of the room, instantly returning to the normal raw material factory.

Looking back, the room that had been invaded by nightmares had returned to its original state, and the person behind the desk had returned to the dark-skinned supervisor with dreadlocks, maintaining a smile on his face, as if he had just had a good conversation with Yi Chen.

Walk out of the workshop,

Little Grape jumped out from the shoulder immediately:

"William! You don't really believe this bad woman, do you? What a bullshit game. It must be a trap that deliberately leads you to the depths of the nightmare. It's all lies."

“It’s not enough to lie, only to tell the truth.

The line with Catherine cannot be broken for the time being, and we strive to obtain more information before the game starts. "
