Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 6 The strange natives of the town

The figure walking towards the town square was wearing the uniform of a monk apprentice. Both his figure and appearance were very familiar. He was one of the monk apprentices in William's memory.

But from his messy footsteps and tense and trembling body, it can be seen that he is deliberately imitating the stealth steps of the monk apprentice, but it is a complete failure.

This is a clear sign of poor synchronization.

As the monk apprentice groped forward, he kept turning his head to look back, as if he was worried that an indigenous resident would suddenly emerge from the dark alley behind him.

A drizzle was falling as the apprentice walked through the rain and finally approached the center of the square.

He no longer hesitated and ran quickly towards the weapons scattered on the ground. His footsteps stepped on the rain-covered ground, splashing water.

And in those dark alleys, cold and crazy eyes lit up one by one.

"Quick! Quick!"

Among the several guns, the monk apprentice rushed to the thermite gun, which had the most exaggerated shape and the greatest power, without hesitation.

Just as he was about to touch the gun, several harpoons shot through the rain, piercing his limbs and pinning him two steps away from the gun.

Many numb and indifferent figures emerged, and the tall and strong native in the lead, holding a kerosene lamp, walked towards the intruder step by step.

As the leader, it seems to be more powerful than other indigenous monsters.

As it walked, strange dense textures appeared on its grayish-white skin, emitting a faint glow under the reflection of the kerosene lamp, and they seemed to be pieces of fish scales.

"No!"

"No, don't come here!"

The severe pain caused the monk apprentice to scream repeatedly, and he looked at the enemy approaching step by step with despair in his eyes.

Suddenly he yelled, "I know you are all here... Stop hiding! Come and save me!"

The desperate roar echoed among the layers of black buildings. The town was dead silent, and the only sound in response was the dripping rain.

Li Nanke took a deep breath, pulled the curtains, and stopped looking outside.

Soon, there were cries of pain coming from outside the window, exactly the same as those of Ms. Liliana. The flames burning the flesh would make a 'tearing' sound and the fat would burst.

At the same time, the synchronized prompt sound was broadcast again, and the number of people dreaming decreased by one.

"Besides me, there are two apprentice monks left in the town, and an armed monk who is missing."

"Unfortunately, the guy just now was too weak. He couldn't even escape and lure the natives away."

Based on the brief battle just now, Li Nanke had already made a rough assessment of the terrifying fighting power of the indigenous people.

He checked the room carefully and soon found the body of a dead townsman under the bed.

There were jagged cuts on the neck of the corpse, and the blood had been drained. It should be the work of the monk apprentice 'William Adams'.

William successfully killed a town native and hid in the native's home.

He carefully examined the bodies and soon discovered that the natives of the town were different from normal humans.

The natives have grayish-white skin with wrinkles from long-term soaking in water, and translucent flesh-colored webbed growths between their fingers and toes.

There are three long and narrow cracks at the mastoid process of the temporal bone behind both ears. When the cracks are opened, the cavity inside is filled with bright red gill lamellae composed of many gill filaments.

"Is it an amphibious creature?"

Li Nanke frowned and simply took out a saw blade, stripped off the native's clothes, and ripped him open.

After a quick and simple autopsy, he found that the muscle fibers of the indigenous people were exceptionally thick, but their bone density was slightly lower than that of ordinary people. "The muscles are strong, but the ability to withstand blows is slightly weaker."

The indigenous people still have their lungs, but they have an additional respiratory system similar to the gills of fish. The arrangement of their other organs and internal organs is not much different from that of humans.

"That is to say, the weaknesses and fatal points that humans have are also possessed by the natives of this town."

It is worth mentioning that when the skulls of the natives were sawed open, lesions of varying degrees were found in the parietal lobe and prefrontal cortex of their brains.

Pathologies of these two can have serious effects on the human body. The inability to concentrate sensory attention for long periods of time, impulsiveness and aggressiveness are all related to lesions in these parts of the brain.

Li Nanke shook off the blood on his gloves and went to the window again.

Since the death of the last rookie dreamer, the central square has become completely quiet. It is unknown whether the remaining two dreamers are still hiding in nearby houses or quietly bypassing this place and rushing to the location of the key node, the church.

No matter which situation it is, Li Nanke must leave as soon as possible.

The weapons in the center of the square are just baits. Since the key nodes show that you need to go to the church to "take refuge", it means that the small house you are in now is not safe.

Perhaps soon the natives of the town will discover the monk apprentices hiding in the house.

Li Nanke took off his monk's hat, untied a leather armor buckle, inserted the saw blade into the buckle and tied it behind his back, leaving only a short section of the handle exposed at his neck, and then quickly put on the clothes of the townspeople.

In this way, if you don't look carefully, you will just think he is an indigenous person.

Li Nanke moved the heavy object blocking the door, took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out into the cold wind and rain.

In the hazy rain, the central square of the town is not far away.

It was quiet there, with scattered guns and weapons, and there was no sign of any deadly danger lurking.

Li Nanke withdrew his gaze, imitated the indifferent steps of the natives, turned around and walked into an empty alley.

In William's memory, the church should be located in the south of the town, not far from the houses here and not far from the town's port and the sea.

He walked along the alley, twisting and turning, and after a long time he saw a big street at the end of the alley. Walking along that big street, he should be able to reach the target church at the key node.

However, at the end of the alley stood an indigenous resident with a pitchfork in his hand and his head lowered.

The thin figure of the indigenous resident stood there with his back to him, letting the raindrops fall and soak him.

Li Nanke's eyes were cold as he slowly pulled out the saw blade on his back.

Although he was weak now, it was not difficult for him to kill an unsuspecting native silently with his skills.

Just as he was about to walk forward slowly, he suddenly stopped instinctively, moved his ears, and listened carefully to the sound.

The excessively high synchronization rate gave him extremely sharp senses. In addition to the sound of raindrops falling on the ground, he could also hear a chaotic and alternating sound of heavy breathing.

The breathing sound was not only coming from the natives in front of him!

The alley is quite narrow and can only accommodate three or four people side by side.

Li Nanke leaned against the wall and looked towards the direction of the sound. He saw a half-open wooden door on the wall next to the native. There was no light in the house, but the heavy breathing sound came from inside the wooden door.

"You're here to sneak in, right?"

Li Nanke has experienced many artificial dreams, some of which were difficult dreams designed to disgust people and liberate the nature of masochists.

As a veteran dream weaver, he has already developed an almost instinctive intuition about this type of trap.
