The Last Gentleman-Chapter 303: Fractions

An hour ago.

Yi Chen, hanging from a streetlight, had surveyed the whole panoramic view of Nightmare Town and caught sight of the ‘residents’ wandering about, but these seemingly human figures were distinctly abnormal.

For example, a woman hanging next to him on a streetlight always kept a torn, mammoth smile.

Or a passerby, his face completely buried in a newspaper, reflected a smile on the other side of the paper smeared in blood.

Or an old lady at home knitting sweaters, a closer look would reveal her yarn came from her own stomach, endlessly knitting her blood vessels into garments while smiling continuously.

Or a boy in the backyard lawn playing soccer with friends, they chose someone’s head to kick around by drawing lots, continuing to swap heads depending on wins and losses.

Whoever scored would kick their head, and everyone seemed to enjoy the feeling, laughter echoing constantly.

Every resident was bizarre, but they shared the common trait of always smiling.

However, these Nightmare Town residents were just odd, not strong at all, and even if Yi Chen wanted to slaughter them massively, it wouldn’t take any effort, not to mention having a fearsome team which included the Prophet, Zede, and others.

However, Yi Chen also perceived Catherine’s true intent in setting up the townsfolk, which wasn’t about threatening the team members but about using these residents to perfect the disguise of the nightmare.

Both Yi Chen and Catherine could disguise themselves as townsfolk, blending in completely;once the team members lowered their guard, or if they were isolated, they could act as harmless residents and strike from the shadows.

Yi Chen then looked towards some of the sparse rural areas of the town and raised a question, “I should be able to expand some areas to build constructions that would benefit myself, right?”

Catherine shook her finger:

“Nightmare Town has been locked by me. Spatial expansion is not possible, nor can large buildings be created… We must maintain the stability of the game scenario as much as possible.

Of course, for fairness, I will share the whole process of creating Nightmare Town and various details with you.”

[Silver Demon-Doctor Macaul]Scores Available: 3, 5, 10, 20

[Wrinkled Skin-??]Scores Available: ?

[Bursting-Romary Tahan]Scores Available: 4, 8, 12, 25

[Prosthetic-Kimberly Cabrella]Scores Available: 5, 10, 15, 30

[Corpse-Hogny Zed]Scores Available: 6, 12, 24, 45

After seeing the above scores, the first thing that popped into Yi Chen’s mind was the scoring issue of Teacher Zede, although it was the second-highest after the Double-faced Prophet among the team, Yi Chen felt such a score was definitely too low.

But he didn’t say it out loud,

In this game, he would do everything possible to avoid meeting with Teacher Zede… Yi Chen knew very well that even though he had transformed into a nightmare, possessing an absolute advantage in the dream, he still couldn’t beat Teacher Zede.

Additionally, there were two other people on the score sheet he was concerned about.

“It really is Doctor Macaul… Catherine, I have an agreement with a friend that if I encounter this doctor, I must execute him personally.

Could you leave Doctor Macaul for me to deal with last?”

“You mean the old man with the lowest corresponding score right now? Alright… I won’t compete with you over this guy. But tell me, who is your friend? Have I met them? Is it that girl named Jin?”

“No, you haven’t met her… Speaking of which, what’s the deal with that ‘Wrinkled Skin’? Why doesn’t it have a score?”

“Oh come on~ Haven’t I told you? This score sheet isn’t fixed;it’s just an assessment of strength based on their appearances and the personal information I can find about them in Zion.

As they move and perform in Nightmare Town, the score sheet will continue to change, and as a nightmare, you can check it anytime… If you feel like the score for anyone is odd, you might want to probe them before acting.

This ‘Wrinkled Skin’ currently has no information at all, even my spies in the organization can’t dig up a single clue;he also doesn’t say a word in the process of delving deeper into the nightmare, a very mysterious character indeed.

However, I will find a chance to probe him in Nightmare Town and try to establish his score as soon as possible.

How about this! If, William, you are willing to take a risk to test this ‘Wrinkled Skin’, just getting him to reveal his actual strength will earn you five points as a reward.”

“No thanks.”

“Aww~ You are so boring, never taking the initiative.”

“I have my own arrangements.”

From the image alone, Yi Chen could initially deduce that this mysterious person was very likely related to the Divine Skin Mansion, or even the First Gentleman;he absolutely did not want to make contact with such an unknown risk.

“Alright~ I need to start arranging things along the way now;try to separate them as much as possible! William, you can wander around or come help me with the arrangements.”

“I’ll come help… perhaps it will increase the success rate of separating them.”

…

[Sharp Knife Squad]

When the six members arrived on the outskirts of Nightmare Town, they didn’t take the main road right away, but instead went to a dilapidated bungalow by the roadside.

As soon as they pushed the door open,

Several homeless men with swollen bellies, looking like they might burst at any moment, rushed out from inside the house, just as they were about to leap forward and self-destruct,

Snap!

With a snap of fingers from someone in the team,

The group of homeless men was instantly reduced to ashes, leaving not even half a limb behind, while Romary, looking like a stern principal, gently blew on her fingers, seemingly disappointed with these lowly nightmare creatures.

The entire team entered the bungalow.

An electromagnetic field spread out from inside, and multiple layers of barriers of different properties appeared, completely isolating the bungalow from the outside world. Even Catherine couldn’t penetrate it, unclear what this group was doing inside.

About a minute passed,

The various barriers were successively lifted,

The squad members had all removed their sleep attire, donning identical gentleman’s clothes as in reality, and perfectly exercising the abilities of Gentleman’s Skin, completely isolating the influence of nightmare substances as well as assisting in combat.
