This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 179
an unfamiliar name.

"Thoma?"

Elma on the side asked with some doubts: "I've never heard of this name before."

Indeed, if Thomas really created the Grotesque Man, his name should not be so obscure.To know the author of any creative work in this world, the name should be widely circulated.Moreover, the story of grotesque is not a minority. Many countries have legends such as vampires, zombies, werewolves and so on.

"That's the point of what I'm going to say next."

A serious expression appeared on Gerost's face. He looked at Zhou Li and his voice in a low voice: "You have been involved in the Thousand and One Nights. If I conceal these things from you, it would be murder. But for some reason , I need you to sign a contract with me."

"In any case, you must not reveal to anyone what I am going to say next."

Along with Gerost's announcement, two pieces of paper with silver characters appeared in his hand.He looked at the two of them and said, "These are two short-term contracts, and they will dissipate automatically after the incident is over. As long as you promise not to reveal what I have said to others under threat or control, the contract will be reached." .”

Zhou Li pondered for a moment, Gerost's knowledge of the Gospels was beyond his imagination.Moreover, the contract he gave was also very loose. After all, the two situations of threat and control can have many changes. As long as Zhou Li wants to, he can casually broadcast this matter on the national radio station around the clock.

However, it is not necessary.

"I can sign."

Zhou Li opened his mouth and said without hesitation: "It is only natural to keep a secret without being threatened or controlled."

"Where is this lady?"

Seeing that Zhou Li didn't intend to make a decision for Alma, Gerost turned his head and looked at Alma.

"I can."

Elma nodded, without any hesitation, she responded directly.

"it is good."

After handing over the contract and watching the two engrave their soul imprints on it with his own eyes, Gerost stretched out his hand and waved it in the air. Soon, an invisible barrier covered the three of them inside.

"One thousand and one nights carry a thousand grotesques that exist in people's fantasy."

A look of remembrance appeared on Gerost's face, and an unknown past began.

One Thousand and One Nights is a book, there is no horror, no weird tales in it, it just contains all the grotesques created by Thomas.The grotesque in the book is no longer as cruel, terrifying, and violent as in other novels.In One Thousand and One Nights, they are like a group of ordinary people with special characteristics, living in a small town.

The vampire hates garlic, so she lives in a remote castle.The werewolf summons the Blood Moon every night to court the succubus.Bandage Freak likes nothing more than washing his bandages in his room and changing them to new colors.

An entire volume of One Thousand and One Nights is devoted to the life of these grotesques without killing in the small town.There are no story reversals, no humans, and no sudden frights.Some are just ordinary grotesques living in ordinary towns and living ordinary lives.

But is this really the case?

"Actually, ordinary is the scariest thing."

The silver needle in the demon hunter's hand flew up and down, drawing beautiful arcs.He sighed softly, and continued: "We didn't know why Fei Yu really chose this book as the last grotesque until the Thousand and One Nights went berserk."

"The greatest horror is not brutal mutilation or silent horror. The real horror is when the grotesque becomes the norm, when the monster replaces the human."

Thomas really, wrote the ultimate horror.

In One Thousand and One Nights, humans were replaced by monsters who existed only in dreams and fantasies.They are the masters of the real world, and humans become the stories.

When Yingnan's archaeological team put the book in the research room of the British Museum, a horrible story happened.

Vampires, werewolves, succubi, bandage monsters, and a thousand kinds of monsters that only exist in human fantasy have broken the barrier between reality and fantasy.Following in the footsteps of the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", they began to wreak havoc in the archipelago country of the British South.

Meanwhile, the Void has invaded the world.The threat of the Void is worldwide. Before the birth of Emperor Chonghuang, the Allied Forces of the World were retreating steadily. Therefore, Yingnan’s grotesque disaster Twelve Quarters and 24 professional unions have no spare power to manage. They can only hope that Yingnan’s own group immunity.

Later, Gerost appeared.

"I didn't start out as a witcher. I was just an ordinary hunter, platinum level, and it seemed to be like this all my life."

"At that time, the grotesque disaster had begun to spread, and the town I was in was not spared. But at the moment the town was destroyed, I faced the book directly."

A trace of grief flashed in Gerost's eyes, but it was quickly covered up.He showed the five-pointed star pattern on his right wrist to the two, his voice a little low.

"I don't know why it appeared, I saw that book when I was fleeing. Then I had a dream, the content of the dream was almost forgotten, but when I woke up, I became a witcher. "

Make holy water, make silverware.Give blessings to weapons, and you can tear up all grotesques with the power of words.The job of a demon hunter is just like his name, it was born to kill monsters.Gradually, Gerald discovered the nature of the grotesque disaster.

"Cognition and Fear."

Gerald put the silver needle on the table, a cold light flashed, and an inexplicable tone appeared in the room, "The more people know about grotesques, the more grotesques there will be. The greater people's fear of grotesques, The weirder the stronger."

"But if that's all it is, the grotesque cannot become a disaster."

Yes, if the grotesque only had this kind of power, it would be vulnerable to Yingnan's steel giants.

"The most terrifying thing about grotesque disasters is that disasters that occur in reality will infinitely enhance the grotesque."

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Li didn't understand, Gerost leaned on the back of the sofa and said:
"As an example, let's talk about the vampire case."

"The vampire described by Fei Yuzhen is an extremely greedy monster. He imprisoned humans in the castle, treated them as his own blood slaves, and sucked their blood day and night."

"I'm super, that's fine."

Gerost just said this grotesque, and Zhou Li understood what he meant.

"You mean that the nobles in reality suck the people's blood every day, which will also enhance the power of the vampires in the story?"

Facing Zhou Li's answer, Gerost nodded in agreement:
"Yes."

"Then what is Duke Mintz? Isn't he a werewolf?"

Faced with Elma's confusion, Zhou Li and Gerost thought for a second, and then said in unison:
"It's all dog licking."

　It’s daytime and quarantined. There are six people in a six-person dormitory. The cabinet is locked and cannot be used to store clothes. I go to the toilet and use the public toilet. I really don’t understand what this isolation means.
