Nightmare Attack

Chapter 189 Doubt

Chapter 189 Doubt

It has been a day and a night since I came to this world, let alone food, and even a sip of water. If this continues, without those weird things looking for it, I will die of thirst.

So everyone decided to spread out to find water and food.

At the same time, because of the curse that the people of Heishi Town said, the only way to get rid of the curse is if the flame on the lighthouse is not extinguished, so people have to be left to guard the flame.

With the incident of the motorcycle girl, everyone felt gloomy even during the day, and finally decided to keep two people besides the old woman, so that they could take care of each other.

Su Xiaoxiao wished to stay with her younger brother on the pretext that it was inconvenient for her to move around, but was rejected by Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran. The reason was that Su An had a strong sense of perception, and it was unknown if he might find new clues when he went for a walk.

The last ones left are Chen Ran and Liang Long.

After Liang Long heard the news, his whole body was in a bad mood, and he seemed to want to fight for it again.

But Jiang Cheng turned around with the fat man and left, and Su Xiaoxiao also left after taking another look at Chen Ran and the old woman in the corner.

Liang Long seemed to want to go with them, but after noticing the inexplicable sight behind her, she seemed to have lost the ability to move, and after a moment of sluggishness, she obediently sat down again.

Chen Ran still had the same kind face, but instead of facing Liang Long, it was the old woman talking on the other side.

A strong sense of crisis climbed up Liang Long's spine little by little.

Jiang Cheng took the fat man for a stroll by the seaside, the waves hit their feet, the trouser legs were wet, and the soles of their feet stepped on the wet shoes, making a strange "creaking" sound.

Jiang Cheng stared at his feet, and glanced at the sea from time to time, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Doctor," the fat man asked curiously, "what are you looking at?"

"The sea is so clean," Jiang Cheng said.

"It's quite clean. Look at how fine the sand is." The fat man pushed aside a layer of fine sand on the ground with his feet, revealing that the sand below was still very fine. Leaving aside the crisis here, it was indeed a resort.

"I'm not talking about this," Jiang Cheng sighed, looking at the path wetted by seawater under his feet, and continued: "It's low tide time, and the tidal flats have been exposed. People who live by the sea will choose to pick them up during this time." The sea, that is, some fish, shrimp and conch trapped in low-lying places because of low tide and unable to return to the sea.”

He pointed to a large expanse in front of him, "But look, let alone fish and shrimp, there isn't even half a dead shell. The sea seems to be empty."

The fat man blinked, then nodded as if he had come to his senses, and said, "Don't tell me, doctor. When I first came here, I was also wondering why the seaside is so clean. That's how it is."

Under normal conditions in the real sea, such a situation would certainly not occur. The fat man seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed: "Doctor, could this be a sign of something going to happen?"

He licked his lips, glanced back and forth, and continued: "I remember I heard such a thing, it probably said that fishermen along the coast discovered something unusual near the sea, and it didn't take long for a catastrophe to occur, and they died. There are many people."

Jiang Cheng shook his head, "It's not the same. The situation you mentioned should be the harbinger of the coming tsunami. Tsunami is usually caused by the rupture of the seabed crust, landslides, or volcanic eruptions."

"It usually manifests itself as deep-sea creatures, such as the oarfish and other creatures that are stranded on the shore in large numbers. The unprovoked collision of whales and suicide in the shallows are the opposite of the current situation."

What is happening now is that the coast is too clean and there is nothing.

The fat man swallowed, looked at Jiang Cheng, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any thoughts, Doctor?"

The anomaly here is obvious, but for a person like Jiang Cheng, having an anomaly means having a clue.

In nightmares, he is not worried about things or phenomena that seem weird, but that everything seems reasonable.

Touching his chin, Jiang Cheng seemed to be thinking too.

After waiting for a long while and not seeing Jiang Cheng talking to him, the fat man couldn't sit still, he paused, and then said in a pleading tone: "Doctor, please tell me what you think of, to tell you the truth, I'm a little nervous right now. Fear."

Jiangcheng rarely took the opportunity to scare him, but directly said: "There are two situations," he said, "First, this place was affected by some kind of strange force, which led to the current situation."

The fat man looked at Jiang Cheng, and asked after a while, "Then what about the second one?"

"Huh—" Jiang Cheng let out a sigh of relief and looked up into Fatty's eyes. The latter couldn't help being stunned for a moment, "Fatty," Jiang Cheng said slowly, "I suspect that this is not our world at all."

The fat man paused for a few seconds when he heard the words, and then his whole body began to tremble. The doctor's words completely overturned the two people's previous assumptions about the nightmare.

In the original guess, the nightmare was a real existence, a real history intercepted by some force along the long river of time, in other words, it has a beginning and an end, and a beginning and an end.

No matter what the chosen people did, whether they lived or died, it will not affect the outcome of this event that exists as a real event.

All they can influence is the process.

But if the nightmare is not the real world, but really just an illusory dream, then it naturally does not need to abide by the beginning and end of the real events.

More importantly. Logic.

so.! !

It may well be unsolvable!

That is to say, no matter what they do, what kind of clues they get, or whether they find out the truth, the final outcome is death, and the way of death may be illogical, strange, or even nonsensical.

Tsunami, earthquake, sudden collapse of buildings, even a few monsters jumped out of thin air and tore several people to pieces

It's all possible.

After all, a dream does not need logic, it is just an empty, inexplicable carrier that exists in illusion.

"Doctor Doctor" thought of the fat man's teeth trembling, and his eyes protruded slightly, "You mean us."

Jiang Cheng only took one look at Fatty and guessed what he was thinking, "This is just the most extreme example, there is a high probability that it is not that bad, at least the missions we have experienced before are all traceable."

"Perhaps." Jiang Cheng thought for a while, but finally didn't speak.

"Doctor," said the fat man, "please let me know what to do if I die. Next time I will be reincarnated, I will know what to say to others in advance."

Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe...I mean maybe, this is just another expression of the world we live in, um...another way of expression."

"Expression?" The fat man stared blankly at the doctor, obviously not understanding the latter's meaning.

"You can understand that this is real in our world, but this is not our world, but" he paused, raised his eyes and said, "the reflection of our world."
