Chapter 204 Dream
“I asked him whether birth, old age, sickness and death in Blackstone Town, which is trapped in the black mist, are the same as in the real world,” Jiang Cheng continued: “He answered yes.”
Chenran who was sitting on the ground narrowed his eyes, looked at the fat man, and suddenly said with a smile: "Brother Hao I can testify to what my brother said." He threw the extinguished torch behind him, patted the ashes on his hands, and said, "I heard it too."
The fat man seemed to be trying to understand what they were saying. Just like what he said, just a few seconds later, the whole face darkened, a grayish darkness.
"So." The fat man stared with horrified eyes, "The mayor, they... they have"
"They did not temporarily escape those things as the mayor said." When Jiang Cheng said this, he paused suddenly, as if he was thinking about what words to use to describe it more appropriately.
Chenran on the side grinned, "Assimilation."
Jiang Cheng glanced at him, and then continued: "Yes, it's assimilation." He looked at the fat man and said lightly: "None of them escaped the assimilation of those weird things that came back from the dead."
"They were probably killed once, and then the bodies were placed on the stone plate and resurrected strangely."
"The dead retain the memories of their lives, so they continue to live in the Black Stone The town," he paused, "is just as it was when they were alive."
"But the only difference is that they will not grow old. Everyone's life is permanently fixed at the last moment before their death."
"They can no longer escape from this sea city." Su Xiaoxiao looked out the square window and added in a cold voice , "It was like a cage on the sea for them."
The amount of information received this time was a bit large, and the fat man's brain was a little down for a while. After a while, he looked at the doctor, He said vaguely: "So the guarantee lighthouse Keeping the flames burning won't save us from the nightmare, right?"
"It's only good for the people in Blackstone Town!" Fatty said excitedly: "They lied to us!"
< br> "We are currently unable to determine whether the flames in the lighthouse are related to our escape from the nightmare, but one thing is for sure, it must be good for the things in Blackstone Town." Jiang Cheng turned his head and glanced at the town on the dark sea. , the place was filled with the color of fire and seemed to be very lively.
The word "thing" instinctively makes fat people feel uncomfortable.
The guys who talked to them, invited them to dinner, and talked freely were all not human beings. The entire Blackstone Town floating on the sea was just a "dead city".
The "night" outside the window is as thick as a ball of ink that cannot be dissolved.
After another whole day of work, Jiang Cheng returned to his old position and rested against the wall.
The fat man came over very discerningly, his huge body piled into a ball, and said in a low voice: "Doctor, you can sleep peacefully, I will just keep vigil at night."
"You sleep on your own," Jiang Cheng rested his head on his arm without opening his eyes. "It's probably going to be dawn in another 2 or 3 hours. I'll go to sleep when it's dawn."
"Then that Thank you for your hard work, doctor.”
Fat people don’t have ink marks. They just sleep when the doctor tells them to. Anyway, in nightmares, only children who listen to the doctor’s words can survive with their limbs intact.
For those who don’t listen to the doctor, or even want to trick the doctor, the grass on their graves is three feet high. Looking from a distance, they are green and growing very gratifyingly.
The fat man chose a position to lie down next to the doctor to ensure that the doctor would notice him.
Especially my back and neck.
His coat has been torn into strips and wrapped around Su An. Now he can only try his best to shrink himself. Fortunately, due to the flames, the room is very warm.
To be fair, Fatty is not willing to extinguish the flame.
He just lay down, with his face facing the dusty place. His body was half hidden in the darkness beyond the reach of the fire. The fat man didn't know whether he was asleep or staring. Watch for yourself.
Why would Chenran stare at himself? He would also stare at the doctor.
The fat man swallowed guiltily, and then turned his body very uncomfortably to get himself out of the face-to-face state with Chenran.
But the next second, his peripheral vision inadvertently touched another line of sight.
Almost as soon as he noticed this sight, the fat man's body began to shake uncontrollably.
This is a reflex similar to body instinct.
It's like what happens when a creature faces a higher-level predator, stemming from the suppression in its bloodline.
From the darkness beyond the reach of the fire, a face slowly poked out.
A pair of bloody eyes on the old woman's twisted face stared at her. The next second, a scarlet tongue protruded from her mouth, swirling greedily around her lips.
That night, the fat man slept next to the doctor. He thought he understood the reason why the doctor refused to sleep.
If he sleeps, then based on these two moments, he is no match for the old woman, Chen Ran, or any of the three Su Xiaoxiao.
If they use some means, they may have to move their heads and the doctor's heads at night.
That night he had many strange dreams, some of which could even be said to be absurd. He dreamed of a giant pure white stone plate with countless people surrounding it shouting something.
The hot blood splashed on the stone plate, bright red and dazzling.
There was a strange painting carved on the stone plate. Bright red surged along the grooves on the stone plate, making the painting clearer and clearer. Gradually, his eyes widened.
This was a creature he had never seen before.
Just when the whole painting was about to appear, Fatty was woken up by someone. He was still immersed in the dream and couldn't help but trembled.
The person who woke him up lay down quietly after the fat man woke up.
“Wake me up in 2 hours,” Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and rested his head on one of his arms. “Stay here and don’t go away.” He finally said.
During this period, Fatty stayed by Jiang Cheng's side dutifully and didn't wake him up until it was estimated that the time was almost up.
"Doctor," the fat man patted him gently, "it's time to get up."
"Doctor?"
"It's time"
The fat man yelled three times before Jiang Cheng opened his eyes. After waking up, Jiang Cheng slowly sat up. After a while, he stood up and moved his body.
The fat man suddenly felt a little sorry for the doctor.
He was obviously very tired, and there were faint red bloodshot eyes.
“Where are they?” Jiang Cheng looked around, then turned to look at the fat man.
The only ones left in the room were the old woman and Su An, who was awake but obviously still very weak. The latter was leaning in the corner, his big eyes looking towards Jiang Cheng from time to time.
Su Xiaoxiao and Chenran are gone.
"Doctor," the fat man whispered: "They said they went to look for clues nearby, and then asked us to stay and guard the flames, as well as Su An and the woman." Long wait (first update)
