Nightmare Attack

Chapter 216 Stone Painting
"You don't have to think about me," the fat man quickly waved his hands, "I have a bigger heart than you think."

"That's right." Chen Ran squinted at Fatty, and the latter directly looked away. The pressure brought by Chen Ran's eyes was no less than that of Jiang Cheng.

As for the reason why Jiang Cheng did this, Fatty probably knew it in his heart.

It was because he was worried that Chenran would suddenly attack him from behind when he was observing the clues, so he simply pulled Chenran to watch together.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little inaccurate.

There is not just one painting on the stone pillar, but many paintings, depicting different scenes, but they are related to each other, and the fat man is fascinated when he looks at it.

The brushstrokes of the people portrayed are relatively rough, but it can still be seen that they have a certain level of skill. The composition of each painting is very clear, which makes people understand at a glance.

On the whole, the impression given to the fat man is that the portrayed person is a series of paintings completed under extreme fear or urgent conditions.

There are nine paintings in total, arranged in a grid pattern, the first eight paintings can all be seen clearly, only the ninth one, the fat man blinked, seems to be only half painted.

It is a residual image.

What is incomplete is the upper two-thirds of the left side of the painting. In the lower right corner, the fat man swallowed his saliva, walked around the dusty place, and took a closer look. There was a person on it.

A strangely dressed man.

Curled up, hiding in a very small corner.

And it should be a woman.

The moment this impression just appeared, the fat man shivered involuntarily, and he immediately thought of the crazy old woman hiding in the lighthouse.

But when he concentrated his mind and looked at the last painting again, the strange sense of familiarity disappeared again.

The drawing that represents a person is only a few strokes, not even as good as a kindergarten child's stick figure, not to mention the clothes, even the movements of men and women can't be seen.

But just at that moment, he was sure that the person in the painting was the old woman.

How can it be? !
The fat man panted violently, and his seemingly very large body trembled immediately. He subconsciously controlled himself not to swallow his saliva, but he couldn't do it at all.

He doesn't know when this painting was left, but judging by the degree of wind erosion, it will take at least several hundred years, that old woman...how could she be
Did she already appear at that time?

is she still human
The fat man who had just come to his senses wanted to remind Jiang Cheng about the old woman, but since Chen Ran was by his side, he couldn't explain clearly that Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran were now shoulder to shoulder, like Siamese twins.

"What did Brother Hao discover now?" Chen Ran asked with narrowed eyes.

Jiang Cheng stood up, thought for a while, and said, "It's not clear yet, I think we'd better go upstairs and have a look."

Hearing that Jiang Cheng was planning to go upstairs, the hair on the fat man's back stood up. He could almost predict that Su Xiaoxiao's pleading had failed, and Su An was probably cold.

Ah no, it is the same as the motorcycle girl and Liang Long, who disappeared mysteriously.

These are all about old women.

Once the mind is opened, there is a feeling of knowing everything. Those things that I couldn't understand before seem to have reasonable explanations now.

At the beginning, he was still discussing with Jiang Cheng why only the old woman survived the same shipwreck, and according to the doctor's understanding of the nightmare, when everyone was selected for the nightmare mission, the survival rate at the beginning should be close to of.

How could there be a second brush player?

This doesn't match the supposed mechanics of nightmares.

Now these have answers.

The old woman is not a player at all. To be precise, she should be a very special NPC, special enough to attack all players indiscriminately.

Thinking of the old woman staring into his eyes the night before, and the scarlet tongue across his lips, the fat man couldn't help shaking again, his two ham sausage-like legs seemed to be unable to hold on.

"Ouch!"

In the next second, the frightened fat man jumped half a meter high on the spot.

When he came back to his senses and turned around to look over, Jiang Cheng's left hand was wrapped around Chen Ran's neck, and his right hand was straightened out. He still maintained the movement when he stabbed the fat man.

"you"

"Let's go," Jiang Cheng said to the fat man carelessly, "Let's go up and have a look, you just follow us."

"Good."

Obediently following behind Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran, the fat man understood the struggle between the two more clearly. The streamlined muscles on Jiang Cheng's arm hanging around Chen Ran's neck seemed to be able to strangle the latter in the next second. neck.

Chen Ran was similar, with one hand wrapped around Jiang Cheng's waist seemingly intimately.

But judging from the blue veins emerging on the back of the hand, it is obvious that there is hidden strength, and the sudden force, it is estimated that it will not be much worse than the palm on Su Xiaoxiao.

Taking a deep breath, he also cheered up secretly. I am afraid that it is only a matter of time before the two sides tear up their faces, and the victory and defeat are also in the blink of an eye.

After all, once Jiang Cheng was defeated, as long as Chen Ran had his breath left, it would be difficult for him to be his opponent.

The stairs were rather dark, and the previous torches had gone somewhere. He cautiously followed behind the two of them. The stairs were in a spiral shape, with a dark abyss in the middle, and they were as close to the side of the wall as possible.

Fatty was also seriously thinking about the possibility of uniting with Jiangcheng to drop Chenran's time bomb.

The hypocritical politeness came to an end, Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran walked forward slowly and steadily together, and neither of them made a sound.

The atmosphere was a little dignified for a while.

As the distance to the lighthouse got closer, the hazy illusion of the truth in Fatty's heart also eased a lot.

On the way back from Heishi Town the night before, Jiang Cheng had told him some of the problems he had discovered.

But at that time, Fatty didn't have any ideas, so it was just a surprise. Until now, Fatty realized how terrifying Jiangcheng was.

Among Jiang Cheng's questions, there were a few points that impressed him the most.

According to Jiang Cheng, when they were invited to sit in Heishi Town, there were still 4 vacancies besides the blond man who was the mayor.

In other words, the "people" in Blackstone Town have 7 "guests" by default.

How did the number 7 come about?
Is it just a coincidence?

After all, the old woman and the woman on the motorcycle stayed in the lighthouse at that time, and there were only six people at most who appeared in the sight of the townspeople.

The second time, it was only Jiang Cheng, himself, Chen Ran, and Liang Long.

In the end, only the three of them attended the appointment.

But what if the people in Blackstone Town knew their total number through some kind of record or some unknown way?

Further guessing, the townspeople not only know their total number, but also know that one of them is not human, so there is no such thing as preparing food for her.

Thinking of the old woman staring at him greedily, the fat man's pupils shrank slightly, and a guess slowly emerged in his mind.

Very scary.
