Nightmare Attack

Chapter 204 Dream

"I asked him if life, aging, sickness and death in Heishi Town trapped in the black mist are the same as in the real world," Jiang Cheng continued, "He replied yes."

Chen Ran who was sitting on the ground narrowed his eyes, looked behind the fat man, and suddenly smiled and said, "I can testify to what Brother Hao said." He threw the extinguished torch behind him, patted the ashes on his hands, and said: "I heard that too."

The fat man seemed to be trying to understand what they said, and after only a few seconds, his entire face darkened, a kind of grayish darkness.

"So." The fat man stared with terrified eyes, "The mayor and they... they have already"

"They didn't temporarily escape from those things as the mayor said." Jiang Cheng suddenly paused as he said this, as if he was thinking about what words to use to describe it more appropriately.

Chen Ran on the side grinned, "Assimilation."

Jiang Cheng glanced at him, and then continued: "That's right, it's assimilation." He looked at the fat man and said calmly, "None of them escaped the assimilation of those strange things that came back from the dead."

"It is very likely that they have been killed once, and then their bodies were placed on the stone plate, and then resurrected strangely."

"The dead people retain the memories of their life, so...continue to live in Blackstone Town," he paused, "just like when they were alive."

"But the only difference is that they will not grow old, and everyone's life is permanently frozen in the last moment before they die."

"They can no longer escape from this sea city." Su Xiaoxiao looked out of the square window and added coldly, "It's like a sea cage for them."

The amount of information received this time was a bit large, and the fat man's brain went down for a while. After a while, he looked at the doctor and said in a daze: "So ensuring that the lighthouse flame continues to burn can't save us from the nightmare, it is Is that so?"

"This is only good for the people in Blackstone Town!" The fat man said excitedly, "They lied to us!"

"We still can't judge whether the flame in the lighthouse is related to our escape from the nightmare, but one thing is for sure, it must be good for the people in Blackstone Town." Jiang Cheng turned his head and glanced at the town on the dark sea. The colors of fire are everywhere, and it seems to be very lively.

The word "thing" instinctively made the fat man feel uncomfortable.

Those guys who talk to them, invite them to dinner, and talk freely are all not human. The entire Blackstone Town floating on the sea is a "dead city".

The "night" outside the window is thick like a cloud of insoluble ink.

After another whole day of tossing, Jiang Cheng returned to his old position, resting against the wall.

Fatty leaned over with great eyesight, his huge body piled up into a ball, and said in a low voice: "Doctor, you can rest assured, I will keep watch at night."

"Sleep in your bed." Jiang Cheng rested his head on his arm, his eyes still closed, "I guess it will be dawn in another 2 or 3 hours, and I will go to bed after dawn."

"Then it's hard work for you, doctor."

The fat man didn't have ink marks, so he slept obediently when the doctor asked him to sleep. Anyway, in nightmares, only children who listen to the doctor's words can survive with healthy limbs.

For those who didn’t listen to the doctor’s words, or even tried to cheat the doctor, the grass on the grave was three feet high. Looking at it from a distance, it was lush green and growing very gratifyingly.

The fat man chose a position next to the doctor to lie down, so that the doctor could pay attention to him.

Especially his back and neck.

His coat had been torn into strips and wrapped around Su An's body. Now he could only shrink himself as much as possible. Fortunately, due to the flames, the room was very warm.

In all fairness, Fatty was unwilling to extinguish the flames either.

He just lay down, his face was facing the dusty position, his body was half hidden in the darkness beyond the reach of the fire, and the fat man didn't know whether he was asleep or staring at him.

How could Chen Ran stare at himself? If he wanted to stare, he was staring at the doctor.

The fat man swallowed guiltyly, and then turned his body very uncomfortably, so as to get out of the state of being face to face with Chen Ran.

But in the next second, his peripheral vision inadvertently touched another line of sight.

Almost at the same time when he noticed this sight, Fatty's body shook uncontrollably.

This is a reflex similar to the body's instinct.

It's like the suppression of the bloodlines produced by creatures in the face of higher-level predators.

In the shadowy place beyond the reach of the fire, a face slowly emerged.

A pair of bloody eyes on the old woman's distorted face stared at herself, and in the next second, a scarlet tongue stuck out of her mouth, twirling greedily around her lips.

That night, the fat man slept next to the doctor, and he thought he understood the reason why the doctor refused to sleep.

If he fell asleep, then based on his two actions, he would not be a match for the old woman, Chen Ran, or Su Xiaoxiao at all.

If they used some tricks, they might have to move their heads and the doctor's head at night.

That night he had many strange dreams, some of which could even be said to be absurd. He dreamed of a huge pure white stone plate, and countless people shouted something loudly around the stone plate.

Hot blood splashed on the stone plate, bright red and dazzling.

A strange painting was engraved on the stone plate. The bright red surged along the grooves on the stone plate, making the painting clearer. Gradually, his eyes widened.

It was a creature he had never seen before.

Just when the whole painting was about to appear, the fat man was slapped awake, and he couldn't help shivering violently while he was still immersed in a dream.

The person who woke him up lay down completely invisible after the fat man woke up.

"Wake me up in 2 hours," Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and leaned on one of his arms, "Stay here, don't go away." He finally said.

During this period of time, the fat man dutifully guarded Jiang Cheng's side, and didn't wake him up until it was almost time.

"Doctor," the fat man patted lightly, "it's time to get up."

"doctor?"

"Should"

The fat man yelled three times before Jiang Cheng opened his eyes. After waking up, Jiang Cheng slowly sat up. After waiting for a while, he stood up and moved his body.

The fat man suddenly felt sorry for the doctor.

He was obviously extremely tired, and there were faint red bloodshots in his eyes.

"Where are they?" Jiang Cheng looked around, then turned to look at the fat man.

Only the old woman was left in the room, and Su An, who was awake but obviously still very weak, leaned against the corner, looking at Jiang Cheng from time to time with a pair of big eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao and Chen Ran were gone.

"Doctor," the fat man said in a low voice, "They said they went to find clues nearby, and then asked us to stay to guard the flame, and Su An and that woman."
