The Last Gentleman

Chapter 293: Ready

  Chapter 293 is ready

  【Power Station】

  An entire circular large flat floor was vacated as the "dream room" of the nightmare project, a total of [six] brains of death row prisoners were transported here, and the final stage of the layout was carried out.

  These brains are preserved in a cylindrical container filled with green gel, and various wires are inserted on the surface,

  There are 4~6 glass bathtubs around each brain, which are also filled with green gel, and the dreamer will lie in them in pajamas.

  This liquid can better relieve their mental state, and it can also strengthen the brain's sensing and improve their autonomy in dreams.

  The surface of the container containing the brain is also pasted with the name of the corresponding death row prisoner,

  The information of the death row prisoners is handed over to the corresponding dream members, after all, they will temporarily partner with the group of death row prisoners in the dream.

  Although the organization will offer free conditions for death-row prisoners to "renew their brains with prosthetic bodies", it cannot guarantee that all death-row prisoners will cooperate obediently. It is necessary to properly understand them in advance.

  Brain No. 1 [‘Street Vendor’ Dallaire], an ordinary gentleman with a white letter who had no hope of breaking through, wandered around the lower districts of Zion, a small businessman who sold various supplies and even private medicine. It was subsequently found that at least eleven cases of disappearances and poisoning deaths in Zion were related to this person.

   Brain No. 2 ['Magic' Slona], every time the gentleman teamed up with her, at least one person will disappear or even die directly. Although the main reason lies in the mission itself, and even someone in the team did an alibi for her.

  Following the frequent occurrence of incidents and the prediction of the prophet, Zion conducted a mandatory memory review on her, and found that she would use tricks and tricks in every mission to induce one of the team to make a mistake and die.

   Brain No. 3 [‘farmer’ Branklin], the initiator of the human-pig incident in Kefan Town.

Brain No. 4 ['Cutter' Edoma], she is a tailor who was sent to Tweek City by the organization. Quick Repair Costumes also get a quick serving of Meat for energy.

  But also because of her appearance, there have been many disappearances in the city. After the Dongchuang incident, she killed several local gentlemen who came to arrest her in an attempt to escape, but was eventually arrested by force.

Brain No. 5 [Grumpy Machado], the executioner of Gethsemane, lost control of his emotions in a multiplayer team, killed all the members of other teams, and also killed the teammates who tried to stop his atrocities, and finally surrendered himself .

  Central brain ['Silver Demon', 'Founder of Twilight Silver Liquid', 'Twilight Clinic founder' Dr. McCoff].

  The above are the death row prisoners corresponding to the six brains, and it also means that there will be six teams dreaming together.

but,

  Although the six teams are all made up of 'Breakers', the combat power of the teams is not equal. In other words, the level of one team is frighteningly high, far surpassing the other teams.

  They can almost symbolize the highest combat power of the organization,

  In contrast, the greater role of the other five teams is not to infiltrate the nightmare, but to help the team disperse the attention from the nightmare, so that the sharp knife team can reach the root cause and kill the target faster.

  And the brain center used by the sharp knife team is also the famous silver demon-Dr. Mycroft.

  A large number of people dressed in pajamas gathered here, some were looking at the files of executed prisoners, some were doing exercises that could relax the body, and some gathered together to discuss the next dream.

   Just then, there was a loud noise from the side.

   "What, William really didn't come to participate! Impossible, he is the most active in this kind of thing."

   Looking for the noise, it was Miss Jin who came here.

  She rushed here to join Reagan. She thought she would go on a nightmare exploration again, but was told that William Behrens, the captain, had left the city.

  Yi Chen didn't tell her about such an important matter, Jin was so angry that he almost couldn't hold back his sword and chopped off the brain of the nearby death row prisoner.

  Reagan persuaded from the side: "William must have his reasons for not participating. Let's be an outside audience this time and enjoy the performances of our predecessors."

   "No...William must be planning something. I'm going outside the city to find him."

   Just as Jin left alone angrily, just as he was about to pass through a security door, a strange voice suddenly came from beside him that went straight into his brain.

  『Since you are sure that William will not give up the nightmare plan, maybe he participated in other places alone. If you follow the big army to sleep here, you may be able to meet him in the dream. 』

  The words that directly echoed in his mind made Jin stunned for a moment. He turned his head to look at the security door that he had just passed, and found an employee who was overhauling the verification equipment there, with an unnatural smile on the corner of his mouth.

  Although these words were very strange, Jin agreed very much. Based on her understanding of William, it was absolutely impossible for him to leave without saying goodbye at this time. There must be some reason, and it was even possible to secretly dream.

   Just when Jin hesitated and hesitated, another voice came.

   But this time it was a voice she was familiar with,

   "Jin, what are you doing here? There is an urgent mission on the other side of Gethsemane, and we are currently short of manpower. Hurry up and go back with me."

  At the other end of the aisle, Instructor Bailey was actually wearing a golden ponytail. The familiar dress of the black silk skirt was too eye-catching.

   "Instructor Bailey, why are you here?"

  Jin was a little curious. Belle rarely left Gethsemane, and she never even saw the instructor go out.

   "Come and see this group of guys participating in the Nightmare Project. After all, there are my acquaintances... Come with me."

   "Okay, hey~ It's really boring."

  Jin seemed helpless, but in fact, she could recognize the highest coded information through Bailey's standing posture, the slightly forked toes between the black silk, and the regular tapping of her right index finger.

  After they left, the smiling staff tilted their heads slightly, as if they were a little bit regretful.

  …

   Zion - Lower Street

  There is still one hour left before [afternoon], when the appointment ends.

  Yi Chen, who still had a little starlight in his eyes, just stepped out of the elevator and stood at a street corner, looking for the new address given behind the nightmare card.

  「Grumi Street-33」

   It took about ten minutes for Yi Chen to find the corresponding location at the end of a downhill street. There was a low-rent apartment in front of him. It was the organization's last sympathy for some gentlemen who did not seek to make progress, did not want to take risks, and had a difficult life.

  When the disguised Yi Chen took out the nightmare card in front of the dilapidated apartment building, the prompt on the back changed again.

  From street names and building numbers to a series of strange arrow symbols, each symbol is also thoughtfully given a note.

  ↑ corresponds to going upstairs

  ←Go one room to the left,

  →Go right one room

  ↓Enter

  When Yi Chen followed the prompts and walked into the apartment building, the light dimmed instantly. The electricity here had already been cut off, and the residents living here were lit by candles.

   You can often see a smiling resident holding a candle standing aside, or in the window of the room.

  Yi Chen followed the prompts to the fourth room on the right side of the sixth floor of the apartment.

   Oddly enough, the next prompt corresponds to three consecutive ↓↓↓, implying the need to go inward three times.

   But the rented house in front of me is just a one-bedroom, and there is no interior room at all.

  The only thing there is a wardrobe attached to the wall.

  Yi Chen came to the closet cautiously, and when he opened the old and dilapidated door, the scene in front of him stunned him for a moment.

  The inside of the closet actually corresponds to a deep and dark passage, and there is a candle on the side of the closet door.

  According to the analysis of the current street and apartment building's shape and structure, it is impossible for such an unreasonable passage structure to appear. Yi Chen even doubts whether he has fallen into a dream.

  Pick up the candle and step into the aisle between the closets.

   At the end is a black and white door, which also corresponds to the last ↓ symbol on the card.

   Gently pushed open the door, in front of me was a bedroom that was warmer and mixed with some circus elements.

  The black girl with a white background covers her upper body with a plaid quilt, and the black and white leg socks slightly protrude from the quilt.

  When she saw Yi Chen coming in, she excitedly patted the spare part of the bed beside her.

   "Come on~ It's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
