Chapter 297 Warm-up

Catherine used her hands to push away the six tentacles flowing with black liquid in front of her eyes, and stepped on her small leather shoes to come to the front of Yi Chen.

“William, have you ever had nightmare-related experiences before?

 Otherwise, no matter how adaptable you are and you quickly master the essence of the nightmare I shared with you, you still won’t be able to master it so quickly.

It’s incredible to even evolve such a [nightmare limb] on your own body~”

“I had a nightmare for a long time some time ago, but I don’t remember much of it because it was so long ago. Just now, I swallowed Catherine Q’s sugar cube, which reminded me of it.”

“Everyone’s natural affinity for you really comes from the similarities between us.

 Since you have self-awareness and a certain understanding of dreams, I will no longer provide basic teaching.

 Alright~ Let’s start the game quickly... That’s right! There is one thing I would like to remind you of. Although it is stated in the contract, I still have to emphasize it to you.

To ensure fairness, William is absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly revealing your identity in the nightmare game, let alone joining forces with outsiders and committing such despicable acts as asking them to give away points.

 Once I find out that you are using your identity to cooperate with the dreamer to do some tricks, I will be very angry. "

“Hmm…wait a moment.

Since I completed [Nightmare Transformation] so quickly, I should still have some time, right? Although I understand some nightmares, there are still some things I want to ask you. "

"Okay~ Quickly ask! You human gentlemen are much more capable than I thought. Even an ordinary team can penetrate deeper faster than I expected."

"Why are nightmares expressed in the form of this octopus and tentacles? Why do people affected by nightmares show a 'smile' feature?"

“[Octopus and tentacles] is one of the boss’ personal favorite elements. On weekdays, I will be in charge of making octopus **** at picnic parties at the circus or at some dinner parties.

 After I was officially selected into the core team of the circus, I was given the ability to transform nightmares. Its physical manifestation was in the form of an octopus, just because the boss set it up like this.

 Every person in the circus has a type of food that they are best at, so that everyone can participate in the important cooking process and enjoy the best food supply. "

“Circus...boss...everyone is good at or corresponds to a kind of food?”

Yi Chen got a lot of information from these words,

You can even deduce a quite terrifying morbid force in your mind. It is very likely that it is a new type of force that is different from the original epidemic area in the old world.

At the same time, Yi Chen also recalled that the first time he tried to eat tentacles, it tasted really delicious.

Catherine seemed to realize that she had said too much, and quickly covered her mouth with her hands crossed.

“Hmm~ It seems that I said something that I shouldn’t have said.

 As for [smile], it has something to do with my career in the circus.

correct! This is my identity card. If I lose the game and fly away, I can still get in touch through this card in the future. "

Catherine reached into the hem of her dress and took out a special black and white reflective card from the gap.

There is a portrait of Catherine printed on the front. She is also holding a black and white umbrella made of human joints and leather in her hand. She raises her buttocks and leans forward to greet people outside the card.

 There is a weird black and white smiling face printed on the back.

When he saw this smiling face, Yi Chen could immediately think of all the people in Zion who had ever smiled at him, whether they were friendly or malicious.

It seems that this smiling face combines the characteristics of everyone’s smile.

The card also has [JOKER] printed on the upper and lower corners, just like the ghost card in poker, but the simple black and white colors seem to only correspond to the little ghost card.

Yi Chen did not refuse and decisively accepted the card.

This kind of thing directly related to Catherine should be preserved as much as possible, even if it must be useful in the future, and it may even be used to touch the mysterious circus behind it.

 “Okay~ let’s get started.”

 Catherine stretched out her right hand, and octopus tentacles immediately grew out of her palm, carrying ink to draw five doors on the side wall.

“Let’s use these five ordinary teams as ‘foreplay’ to familiarize you with how to use Nightmare before we officially start our game showdown.

Be careful~ Even though they are an ordinary team, they are all at the same level as William. Don’t be killed by them because you are not familiar with the use of nightmares. "

Facing the five doors built by Catherine, Yi Chen did not choose any one. Instead, he learned the other party's method and used his tentacles to draw a [door] leading to the area where a certain team was located.

 It is now learned and used, and it is quite stable.

“William, are you...learning too fast?”

Yi Chen didn’t answer at all and quickly walked into the black door he created.

Buzz!

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at a scene similar to a power station, except that it was still empty. The dream team still needed to create another dream staircase to reach this level.

Using the remaining time, Yi Chen began to transform the space as a nightmare.

Like a dream builder,

First try to use the tentacles to move the position of the safety door.

Try to stretch the length, curvature and bifurcation of the channel to create new channels and interactive intersections, complicating the original simple loop structure.

  Finally, a complex [maze] with high regional similarities was transformed. The maze structure here also refers to the design of the orphanage to some extent.

 Once the team arrives here, Yi Chen will be able to take absolute initiative on the terrain.

 He himself also used his tentacles to tear open the wall and hide in the environment, waiting for the arrival of the dream team.

 In a short while.

 In the center of the dream space, a nightmare staircase was created.

 What came down was a team of five people.

Yi Chen, who was hiding, locked onto the ‘death-row prisoner’ in the team at first sight. There was an obvious gap between this person and the other members of the team, and he himself also exuded a strong aura of uneasiness.

The projection of the other person in the dream turned out to be a butcher dressed only in an apron. He was not a gentleman at all and was really fat. A mixture of oil and sweat was constantly oozing out from the gaps where the fat on his body was pressed against each other.

 He seemed to be very hot, leaving a footprint with every step he took.

 Perhaps this body heat comes from the restlessness of his inner desire,

It is an urgent desire to kill others. After all, he has been sealed as a "death row prisoner" for such a long time, and has not had the opportunity to move freely and release his desires for too long.

　　　While I was browsing various books indiscriminately in an attempt to improve [intelligence], I seemed to have read about this person in a magazine that studied degenerate gentlemen.

 ‘Farmer’ Bracklin

Born in a farming family in the small town of Lebus, Franklin grew up raising pigs. He was unexpectedly spotted by a passing gentleman when he was fifteen years old. Without any systematic training, he just helped raise pigs at home. And he who killed pigs actually passed the exam with high scores and became a gentleman.

 When he broke through the limits of human beings and got the title of "pork maker", he suddenly asked for leave due to urgent matters and left Zion.

　　He returned to his hometown of Lebus alone, spent more than ten days slaughtering everyone in the town, and sewed a huge human-pig totem in the center of the town.

He is a ruthless man... Let's separate him alone~ The aura exuded by this guy is obviously stronger than other gentlemen, and his use value is also higher. 』
