MTL - The Last Gentleman-Chapter 284 negotiation
Chapter 284 Negotiation
Yi Chen stared at the girl in front of him who looked like a clown, and at the same time let Xiao Putao open up the overall vision, always on guard against possible nightmare sneak attacks.
"You are?"
The girl gently pressed her nose, "Call me Catherine."
"Are you the root? Or an ordinary derivative?"
"Well~ I can't tell you now. Of course, when we get to know each other to a certain extent, I will consider telling you this secret quietly, hahaha!"
Because of the exaggerated black smiley face makeup, the girl feels that she is smiling all the time.
"The purpose of calling me here is to show off your 'invasion results'? Combine nightmare substances with daily meat products to infect the whole city."
"no no!"
Catherine quickly denied it, stepped on the ground with her feet in black and white socks, and explained as she walked.
"It is not appropriate to use the word infection to describe it. It would be more appropriate to use the word [implantation], because the things we put in are very special and are very different from common pathogens.
By the way, William! Do you know what is the most stubborn thing in human beings or living beings with thinking ability? "
"I don't know." Yi Chen waited for the answer directly, too lazy to think.
Catherine walked over slowly, reaching out to try to touch Yi Chen's forehead, but the latter stepped back to pull him away.
No choice, she had to point to her forehead.
“【Idea】~Once an idea is implanted in a person's head, it is not only difficult to find, but also basically impossible to get rid of.
This idea will slowly combine after implantation until it becomes an integral part of the individual, affecting his most basic living habits, and even banning his original personality.
Cannot be detected by any quarantine equipment, and various conventional methods do not work.
This is the real perfect pathogen, don't you think? And the nightmare that 'we' control is the perfect medium to convey ideas. "
Regarding this point, Yi Chen did not deny it.
However, in Yi Chen's view, the girl or the source of the nightmare behind her is just using the idea as an excuse, and their real weapon is still the nightmare itself.
"Tell me, what's the point of coming to me? Although I am the first human being willing to go deep into the dream, there is no need to take the risk of being exposed to meet me."
"You are right, Mr. William!
The reason 'we' want to see you is not only that you are the first nightmare recipient, but also because you have abilities similar to ours.
Your crazy brain can also realize the transmission of "ideas", am I right? After all, so were the madmen of the Old World. "
What the girl said was the enlightenment ability corresponding to Yi Chen's profession.
"Do you still want to join me and destroy this city that nurtured me and gave me care and care?"
"No...Although we often mess around, we won't do such stupid things. We just want to play a game with you.
You walked in from the front of the factory and saw that pieces of meat carrying "ideas" are flowing to every corner of your city.
When the time is right, we only need to give a fire to ignite all the thoughts in people's brains and give them a permanent [smile].
But Mr. William, you have a chance to save everyone! As long as you play the game and win it, I will immediately wipe out all "thoughts" that have taken root in people's minds and evacuate here. "
"You have worked so hard to lurk in Zion for such a long time, infiltrating step by step, and now you are willing to stop as long as you play a game, do you think I will believe it?"
Catherine seemed to guess that he would say this, and she was not in a hurry, "Haven't you come to see me already? It means that the most basic trust has begun to be established between us, doesn't it?
All I'm doing now is asking you to trust us,
For example, if you directly show such an important factory to you, if you don’t want to participate in the game and don’t want to communicate with us, you can leave now and report this factory to the organization, it doesn’t matter at all. "
"Why do you have to play games with me?"
"Didn't you say it before? Because you share a common characteristic with us, and the gameplay is just related to this characteristic... You will know it by then, and it will be very interesting."
"Just for this game, are you willing to withdraw your efforts for several months?"
Catherine put a finger on her chin, turned her head to the side and suddenly thought of something,
"Hey~ Let me tell you a story.
Once upon a time, a very skilled thief sneaked into a claw machine playground in the middle of the night, and he easily opened all the claw machine devices.
But he took out all the dolls and touched and selected them one by one,
Also experimented with the grab bar sensitivity of each machine,
In the end he put all the dolls back into the crane machine and put one of his favorite dolls in the position where it was most likely to be clamped.
The next day when the store was open for business, he came and grabbed his favorite doll from the most easily controlled claw machine. That night he stayed up all night because he was so happy, and even wrote this joy in his diary. , are preserved forever.
The story is over~ William, can you understand what it means?
We are like this thief, we came to this human city just for fun, and want to see what kind of special performance humans can have in nightmares.
Who knows, if an interesting individual like you is suddenly inserted in the middle, the priority will naturally be raised.
As long as you come to the game site according to the requirements, we will sign an old world contract with you, as long as we lose! Evacuate Zion immediately, or even ask me to make an apology, but only for you. "
"What if I lose?"
"You lose... join us in destroying the city and killing your friends, especially the woman who held you last night."
"When and where is the game played?"
"No hurry, I haven't set up the game scene yet, and the props are still being prepared, as long as you bring the card with you, we can get in touch at any time.
I'll let you know when everything is ready. "
"Well, is there anything else?"
Catherine took a step to get close to her body, but Yi Chen turned sideways to avoid it completely.
"Can you not stay with that woman during this time, it's so uncomfortable to watch us."
"It's none of your business."
"That's right, first come, first served, right? Then you don't mind my peeping at night, if I do something too extreme, I may also do more excessive peeping than last night.
Be careful, I will record the whole process of your intimate behavior, and then spread it everywhere! "
"I have nothing to do, I will go first."
"Okay, you go slowly!"
Catherine made a small jump to the side wall of the secret room,
Creak creak~ A tentacle grows from the palm, spraying ink to draw a door leading to the outside world.
At the same time, she was obediently standing on one side, tiptoeing slightly.
Just as Yi Chen was about to leave, Catherine raised her small hands over her shoulders, shaking from side to side, "Bye."
"Um."
Yi Chen responded softly and walked out of the room, returning to the normal raw material factory in an instant.
Looking back, the room that had been invaded by the nightmare had returned to its original state, and the black-skinned supervisor with dreadlocks behind the desk had also turned into a smiling face, as if he had just had a good conversation with Yi Chen.
walked out of the workshop,
Little Putao immediately jumped out from the shoulder:
"William! You don't really believe this bad woman, do you? What kind of **** game must be deliberately leading you to the trap deep in the nightmare. It's all lies."
"It's not enough to lie, you can only tell the truth.
The line with Catherine cannot be broken for the time being, and try to get more information before the game starts. "
