Chapter 283: Negotiation
Yi Chen stared at the girl in front of him who looked like a clown, and at the same time let Xiao Grape open up the overall vision, always on guard against the possible nightmare sneak attack.
"You are?"
The girl pressed her nose lightly, "Call me Catherine." ”
"Are you the root? Or is it a normal derivative? ”
"Well~ I can't tell you yet. Of course, when we get to know each other to a certain extent, I'll consider telling you this secret quietly, hahaha! ”
The girl is wearing exaggerated black smiley makeup, and she feels like she is smiling all the time.
"Is the purpose of calling me here to show off your 'invasion results'? Incorporate the nightmare substance into the meat products that are consumed on a daily basis and infect the whole city. ”
"No...... No! ”
Catherine hurriedly denied it, stepped on the ground with the soles of her feet in black and white leg socks, and explained as she walked.
"It's not a good word to use the word infection, but it's more appropriate to use the word [implantation] because what we're putting in is very special and very different from common pathogens.
That's right, William! Do you know what is the most stubborn thing in a human or thinking body? ”
"I don't know." Yi Chen directly waited for the answer, too lazy to think.
Catherine walked over slowly, reaching out and trying to touch Yi Chen's head, but the latter took a step back and distanced herself.
She had no choice but to point to her head.
"[Idea]~ Once an idea is implanted in a person's head, it is not only difficult to find, but also basically impossible to get rid of.
This idea will slowly combine after implantation until it becomes an integral part of the individual, affecting his most basic habits and even outlawing his original personality.
It cannot be detected by any quarantine equipment, and all kinds of conventional means do not work.
That's the real perfect pathogen, don't you think? And the nightmare that 'we' is in control of is the perfect medium to convey ideas. ”
Yi Chen does not deny this.
However, in Yi Chen's opinion, this girl or the source of the nightmare behind her is just using the idea as an excuse, and their real weapon is still the nightmare itself.
"Tell me, what's the matter with coming to me? Even though I'm the first human willing to go deep into dreams, there's no need to risk being exposed. ”
"You're right, Mr. William!
The reason 'we' want to see you is not only because you are the first recipient of nightmares, but also because you have abilities similar to ours.
Your crazy brain can also transmit "ideas", am I right? After all, the same is true of the madmen of the old world. ”
What the girl is talking about is the educational ability corresponding to Yi Chen's profession.
"Do you still want to unite with me and destroy the city that nurtured me, gave me care and care?"
"No...... We're a lot of mess around, but we're not going to do anything stupid, we just want to play a game with you.
You walk in from the front of the factory and see that pieces of flesh carrying "ideas" are flowing to every corner of your city.
When the time comes, we only need to give a fire, and we can ignite all the thoughts in people's brains and give them a permanent smile.
Still, Mr. William, you have a chance to save everyone! As soon as you participate in the game and win, I will immediately remove all the "thoughts" that have taken root in people's minds and leave here. ”
"You have worked so hard to lurk in Zion for so long, infiltrating step by step, and now you are willing to stop just playing a game, do you think I will believe it?"
Catherine seemed to guess what he would say, and was not in a hurry at all, "Didn't you already come to see me?" Doesn't it mean that we've started to build the most basic trust between us?
What I'm doing now is I hope you can trust us,
For example, if you don't want to participate in the game and don't want to talk to us, you can leave and report it to the organization, and that's fine. ”
"Why do you have to play games with me?"
"Didn't you say it before? Because you share a trait with us, and the gameplay is exactly what it does...... You'll know when the time comes, and it's going to be especially interesting. ”
"Are you willing to withdraw months of your efforts just for the sake of this game?"
Catherine put a finger against her chin, and suddenly thought of something on the side of her head,
"Hey~ I'll tell you a story.
Once upon a time, there was a very powerful thief who snuck into a crane playground in the middle of the night, and he easily turned on all the crane machines.
But he took out all the dolls and touched and selected them one by one,
At the same time, we also tried the sensitivity of the grab bar of each machine,
In the end, he put all the dolls back into the crane machine and placed one of his favorite dolls in the position where it was easiest to get caught.
The next day, when the shop was open for business, he came and grabbed his favorite doll from the easiest crane machine to control, and he stayed up all night that night because he was happy, and even wrote this joy in his diary and kept it forever.
The story is over~ William, can you understand the meaning?
Like the thief, we came to this human city just to have fun and to see how humans can behave in their nightmares.
Who knows, if you suddenly insert an interesting individual in the middle of the process, the priority will naturally be raised.
As long as you come to the game site as requested, we will sign an old world contract with you, as long as we lose! Evacuate Zion immediately, or even make me apologize, but only for you. ”
"What if I lose?"
"You lost...... Just join us in destroying the city and killing your friends, especially the woman who held you last night. ”
"When and where to play?"
"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, anything else?"
Catherine stepped to get close to her body, but was completely avoided by Yi Chen's sideways.
"Can you please not stay with that woman during this time, it's so uncomfortable to look at us."
"It's none of your business."
"That's right, first come, first served, right? Then don't mind my voyeurism at night, if I do something too much, I may do even more voyeurism than last night.
Be careful that I record your intimacy and spread it around! ”
"I'll leave first if there's nothing to do."
"Okay, you go slowly!"
Catherine made a small jump to the side wall of the secret room,
Rattle Rattle ~ A tentacle grows from the palm of the hand, spraying ink and drawing a door to the outside world.
At the same time, she stood obediently to one side, tiptoeing slightly.
Just as Yi Chen was about to leave, Catherine raised her little hand over her shoulders and shook it from side to side, "Bye-bye." ”
"Hmm."
Yi Chen answered 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 dark-skinned director behind the desk had also turned back into a dark-skinned director with dirty pigtails, maintaining a smiling face, as if he had just had a good conversation with Yi Chen.
Out of the workshop,
Little Grape immediately jumped out of his shoulder:
"William! You don't really believe this bad woman, do you? What bullshit game, it must be a trap that deliberately leads you to the depths of the nightmare, it's all a lie. ”
"It's not a lie, it's just a lie.
The line with Catherine cannot be broken for the time being, and strive to get more information before the game starts. ”
