Chapter 296 Nightmare Transformation

This sugar cube is not the grilled squid that I have tried before. If you want to convert it into a specific amount, I am afraid it is equivalent to a deep-sea octopus with a length of more than 50 meters.

 The moment the sugar cube falls into the body, it is like opening the prison of a giant octopus, and the severely compressed body begins to expand and recover.

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

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 solid space formed between muscles and bones squeezed and restricted the big octopus.

Following the octopus, he heard the sound of iron chains that made him feel physical pain.

　　哐啷啷~

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

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

 In vitro return to clothing,

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

 The iron chain was driven to tightly entangle the big octopus and all its tentacles that were trying to spread inside the body, and pierce the sharp thorns between the tentacles.

 The group of tentacles 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 death aura flowing out from 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 was large enough, Yi Chen seemed to be suppressing it, but in fact he was also very uncomfortable... In order to restrain the big octopus, he had to put almost all his energy into it, and he couldn'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 into the whole body of the big octopus are directly used for sucking.

 Wishes 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, sat on the ground and ate 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 does not work.

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

“It’s incredible~ He can actually 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 to whether William can hold on and control the origin of the nightmare while maintaining himself,

 The ‘they’ inside Catherine played a gamble.

 The chips are [posture]

 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 may be forced together in small groups and become a key bearing.

 …

  【Nightmare Transformation】

Although the nightmare substance transformed and absorbed by Yi Chen has become harmless, it is 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 are absorbed into Yi Chen's brain and trigger the individual's "nightmare transformation", Yi Chen's thoughts are also brought back to his life, recalling some "out of control" past events.

  Growing up in an orphanage, working for the organization as a deceased person, and all the work involved hunting down "weird" people disguised as humans.

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

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

Then he was suppressed by the top management of the organization and imprisoned in a mental hospital for two full years.

　　While in captivity, Yi Chen would dream every night, dreaming about the massacre scene, and dreaming about the killed people turning into nightmares and asking for their lives.

 As the memories of the past are unblocked and overflowed,

 The black liquid that represents death actually changes in nature and perfectly combines with the absorbed nightmare substance, accelerating the completion of nightmare transformation.

Snapped!

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

Immediately afterwards, thick, billowing ink-colored gas overflowed from the wounds, covering the surfaces of these iron chains and performing a 'nightmare modification', eventually wrapping the iron chains into tentacle-like shapes.

 Swaying on the back, squirming,

 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 tentacles, it is thicker, more powerful in whipping, and less likely to be damaged.

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

 Arguably more dangerous.

With the perfection of the nightmare, Yi Chen's consciousness gradually stabilized, and he could feel that he had obtained some kind of indescribable "authority". This authority 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 and prepare to teach him some methods of dream control.

　　唰!

 Because of feeling the approach of foreign objects,

 Six tentacles on her back suddenly attacked Catherine, and finally hung in front of her within a millimeter's distance.

"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,

Slightly stooped, Yi Chen, 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 directly echoed in the current dream space.

"good."
