Chapter 227 Conscience

The fat man was stunned when he saw Jiang Cheng agreed so readily. "Doctor," he trembled, "the second way is..."

"Let's stay and wait and see," Jiang Cheng said.

"Huh——" The fat man sighed, he thought he was going to be tricked by the doctor again.

"When those things in Black Stone Town appear at night, you go to meet them and test their mouths," Jiang Cheng looked out the window and said encouragingly: "Since the mission is about to end, I think there will be a lot of abnormalities on them. You go to the town and come back to tell me."

The fat man was stunned, and after a while he was shocked and said: "I go 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 torches, took a few spare ones, and then prepared to wait downstairs. Of course, this time they did not get the white grease from before.

Originally, the fat man still hoped that Black Stone Town on the sea would not appear again after dark, but reality soon slapped him in the face. The town with bright lights not only appeared.

And they came out in full force.

A tidal army of countless torches began to march towards them.

A rough estimate shows that there were probably no less than a few hundred people.

The entire Black Stone Town was in an uproar.

It seemed that their estimate was correct. Those ghosts that were neither human nor mermaid could indeed sense some of what was happening here, but it was not clear from what perspective.

Was it the stone plate that was touched, or the old woman next to him.

"Doctor," the fat man cried, "It's not that I'm cruel, but if I were to say, we would probably die if we went down to see those things, so it would be better to do that to this old woman."

"Then you come?"

"Doctor, I can't do it, so don't force me," the fat man was about to cry. On one side was an army of monsters covered in human skin that was surging like a tide, and on the other side was a fucking monster.

This multiple-choice question was going to kill him.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, looked at the torches surging on the dark sea, and said slowly: "Trust me for the last time." He said: "Come with me, I have something to confirm."

"Doctor, this time is different from before. If you are wrong, this is really the last time."

"I know."

Seeing the doctor's insistence, the fat man had nothing to say. If it was really like what the doctor said, he easily dealt with Chen Ran, then with the doctor's combat index, it is estimated that he could really fight with the smaller fishmen.

Thinking of this, the fat man felt strangely at ease.

"Doctor," before leaving, the fat man pointed at the old woman who was huddled in the corner and laughed at them, "We are just leaving her here?"

After finding that the old woman was staring at him, the fat man immediately retracted his finger, as if he was afraid of being bitten.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while, "Tie her up."

After tying the old woman up firmly 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 scared that he immediately retracted his hand and his face changed.

Holding torches, the two walked down the stairs. The fat man took the last opportunity to ask the doctor many questions.

For example, what did he think of Black Stone Town.

The doctor's answer was that Black Stone Town should be real, but not on the sea surface, but on the bottom of the sea.

It would strangely float to the surface of the sea every night. The seawater backflow and submerged town seen near the stone plate came from this.

Those ugly ghosts used Black Stone Town on the seabed as their base and attacked ships that passed by accidentally. Because of their cruel methods, there were almost no survivors, so their secrets were buried until now.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some large organizations know about this place, but they only know that there are strange things here and that ships often crash nearby.

"That means, they all appear as monsters in the eyes of those people?" asked the fat man.

"It should be."

"Then why are they in front of us?"

"Why are they people?" Jiang Cheng glanced at him.

"Yes."

"Again, the rules restrict us. We can't see through their identities. Otherwise, how can they confuse us?" Jiang Cheng answered naturally, holding a torch.

"But this is too unfair to us," the fat man said worriedly, "the advantages are in the hands of the other side. As the people who were chosen to enter this world and experienced it, we have almost no advantages. Even if we can get a life-saving blank paper or a clue newspaper, it will take a lot of effort, and you have to prioritize making sure you can survive the first mission."

"Two points," Jiang Cheng's tone suddenly became a little stiff, "Fatty, why don't you understand that the rules are not only for us, but for this mission, and even every blade of grass and every tree in the mission world, must follow the rules here."

"Let me ask you," he turned a corner and tried to get his body close to the wall, "If in reality, those ghosts in Black Stone Town see people, what will happen?"

The fat man answered without hesitation: "Drag them away and eat meat."

"But when they saw us, it was not like this, at least not at the beginning," Jiang Cheng said: "They also invited us to eat meat, and explained the curse to us, as well as the ins and outs of their experience."

"Of course," he added: "It is also true that they did not tell the truth."

“You can understand that we are 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, it actually made the fat man feel 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.

In the first copy, there was a family of four who took pleasure in being imprisoned and tortured, in the second copy there was a girl with a broken jaw on campus, and in the current copy, there is a cannibal, a huge monster attached to people.

When rules are ignored, these things are completely irresistible and even incomprehensible.

No matter how smart and resourceful you are, these things cannot be fought against.

Their existence itself is a challenge to existing human cognition and theoretical foundations.

"So" his eyes widened, and the fat man's breathing became uncontrollably rapid, "Those rules were actually set up to protect us?!"

Jiang Cheng turned around and walked down.
