Chapter 226 Conscience
When Jiang Cheng agreed so happily, the fat man was dumbfounded, "Doctor," he trembled his lips, "The second way is"
"We stay Just wait and see," Jiang Cheng said.
“Huh——” The fat man let out a long breath. He thought he was going to be tricked by the doctor again.
“When those things in Blackstone Town show up at night, go and meet them and find out what they have to say,” Jiang Cheng looked out the window and said with encouragement: “Since the mission is about to end, I think There will be a lot of abnormalities in them, you can tell me after a walk around the town.”
The fat man was dumbfounded, and after a while he said in shock: "Am I going alone?"
"Nonsense," Jiang Cheng said, "It's so dangerous, and you still want to drag me along. Do you have any conscience?"
In this way, the two of them lit the torches, grabbed a few spare ones, and prepared to wait downstairs. Of course, this time they were not stained by the white grease from before.
Originally, the fat man had hoped that the Blackstone Town on the sea would not appear again after dark, but reality soon slapped him in the face, and the town with bright lights not only appeared.
And they went out in full force.
A tidal army composed of countless torches began to move towards them.
A rough estimate is that there may be no less than a few hundred people.
The entire Blackstone Town was boiling.
It seems that their estimate is good. Those ghosts who are neither human nor fish can indeed perceive some things happening on their side, but they don't know from what perspective.
Is it the stone plate that touches the stone plate, or the old woman next to me.
"Doctor," the fat man cried sadly, "I'm not cruel, but if we go down to see those things, we'll probably die, it's better to just leave this old woman alone."
"Then you come?"
"Doctor, I can't do it, so don't force me," the fat man almost cried. On one side was an army of monsters wearing human skins coming like a tide, and on the other side was the monster itself.
This multiple-choice question is really difficult for him.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, looked at the torches surging on the dark sea, and said slowly: "Believe me for the last time," he said, "Follow me, I still have some things to prove. .”
"The doctor is different this time. If he is wrong, it will be the last time."
"I know."
Seeing the doctor's insistence, the fat man had nothing to say. If, as the doctor said, he easily dealt with Chenran, then with the doctor's combat index, he might actually be able to fight a smaller fishman.
Thinking about this, Fatty felt strangely at ease.
"Doctor," before going out, the fat man pointed at the old woman huddled in the corner, smiling "hehehe" at them, "are we just going to leave her here?"
After realizing that the old woman was staring at him, the fat man immediately retracted his fingers, as if he was afraid of being bitten.
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Tie her up."
After tying up the old woman tightly and stuffing her into the basket of firewood, the two left together.
While helping the doctor, the fat man accidentally touched the old woman's abdomen and found that it was bulging. He was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand and his face changed.
Holding torches, the two went down the stairs. The fat man took advantage of the last opportunity to ask the doctor many questions.
For example, how he views Blackstone Town.
The doctor’s answer is that Blackstone Town should be real, but not on the surface of the sea, but on the bottom of the sea.
Every night, the sea surface will appear strangely. The sea water I saw near the stone plate poured in, and the town was submerged. This is how it came about.
Those ugly ghosts use Blackstone Town on the bottom of the sea as their base to attack ships that happen to pass by. Because of their cruel methods, there are almost no survivors, so their secrets have been buried to this day.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some big organizations know about this place, but it is limited to knowing that there are weird things here, and ships often crash nearby.
"That means they all appear as monsters in the eyes of those people?" Fatty asked.
"It should be."
"Then why are they in front of us."
"How can they be human?" Jiang Cheng glanced at him.
“Yes.”
"Again, the rules restrict us. We can't see through their identities, otherwise how could they confuse us," Jiang Cheng answered naturally, holding a torch.
"But this is too unfair to us," Fatty said worriedly, "The advantages are all in the hands of the other party. As those who were selected into this world and experienced it, we have almost no advantage, even if we can It takes a lot of energy to get a life-saving piece of paper or a clue newspaper, and you have to prioritize ensuring that you can survive the first mission."
"Two points," Jiang Cheng said. Suddenly became a little stiff, " Fatty, why don’t you understand that the rules are not just for us, but this mission, and even every plant and tree in the mission world, must follow the rules here.”
“Let me ask you,” He turned a corner and tried to keep his body as close to the wall as possible, "What would happen if those ghosts in Blackstone Town saw people in reality?"
The fat man replied without thinking: "Tug away and eat meat .”
"But when they saw us, it was not like this, at least not at first," Jiang Cheng said: "They also invited us to eat meat and explained to us the curse and the ins and outs of their experiences."
"Of course," he added, "it's also true that they weren't telling the truth."
"You can understand that we are When experiencing a highly restored role-playing game, everyone has a role to play, and we can only act within the rules of the role, whether it is us or other things in the script.”
"And there's one more thing," Jiang Cheng paused and turned to look at the fat man. The torch in Jiang Cheng's hand was lowered, making his face blurry.
For a moment, even the fat man felt strange.
"If there were no rules, do you think it would be possible for us to defeat those weird things?" Jiang Cheng asked calmly.
This seemingly inconspicuous sentence really hit the weakest point in Fatty's heart.
The family of four who enjoyed being imprisoned and tortured in the first copy, the girl with a broken jaw in the second copy, and the cannibal that appears in the current copy, the huge thing attached to people monster.
With disregard of the rules, these things are completely irresistible and even incomprehensible.
No matter how smart and witty you are, these things cannot be fought against.
Their existence itself is a challenge to existing human cognition and theoretical foundations.
“So.” Eyes widened, the fat man’s breathing became uncontrollably rapid, “Those rules were actually set up to protect us?!”
Jiang Cheng turned around and walked down.
