Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 285 Nightmare
Under that layer of polluted black mud, there were countless red worms wriggling densely. They crazily devoured Ximan's bony remains, and at the same time formed a strange flesh and blood tissue to sustain his life.

But what Cheng Shen saw was the strong pheromone emitted by those red bugs directly through this curious appearance.

strange,

distortion,

crazy,

indescribable.

All kinds of chaotic information suddenly impacted Cheng Shen's consciousness, making his perception seem to be exploded!
Immediately withdrawing his mental sense, Cheng Shen's consciousness fluctuated unsteadily in mid-air, and then gradually calmed down after a while.He caught a familiar smell in the rush of frantic information flow.

It is the power left by the remains of the god!
Cheng Shen didn't dare to look any further, even with his mental strength, he couldn't look directly at the remains of the ancient god through the memory screen, let alone his fragile consciousness.

If it wasn't for the fact that the power left on Seaman's body was less than one-ten-thousandth of that remains.

Cheng Shen probably collapsed the moment he saw his real body!
"The sick ghost in the deserted village originated from the remains of the god...?" His thoughts settled down, and then he thought, "The deserted village originated from a group of refugees from the old city, which means the real source is that city... "

"What happened to that remains that would make the residents of the city look like this... What did those unbelievers do?!"

He still shudders at the memory of that feeling.

Consciousness sinks.

Cheng Shen gradually felt that the soul of nothingness was wrapped in a layer of cold and dense matter, the flow of blood, the soft creaking sound of the gears, and the noisy sound occupied all his perception for a moment.

Then suddenly restrained.

hum!
A pair of eyes on Cheng Shen's face that had been replaced with crystals lit up.

creak!

He sat up from the operating table, and at least a dozen parts of his body could hear the sound of metal rubbing.This time the transformation operation completely replaced his body parts, and the degree of deification has exceeded 85%!

Except for the two important structures of the heart and the brain, the other organs of this body have basically been replaced with special deified parts.

But this kind of deified part is not the same as the puppet parts in the conventional sense, and some are like the flesh and blood puppet, a peculiar state of symbiosis of flesh and machinery, but the deification technology is obviously more complete.

Cheng Shen couldn't help wondering whether the incomplete data of the flesh and blood puppet he obtained was originally a research branch of the deification experiment?
He didn't think much about it.

Open the personal panel.

He is very satisfied with all the attributes of this newly replaced body.

Ximan also spent a lot of money, transforming all the excellent deified parts that he had been reluctant to use before, all on Cheng Shen's body, transforming his body, which was originally just an ordinary person, into a leader level!
Naturally, it is still far behind his actual strength.

But it will suffice here.

"you're awake!?"

Cheng Shen was still familiar with the functions of this new body, when he heard Ximan's surprised voice.

His shape has been restored to its original shape, and the terrifying image on his body has been wrapped in a thick layer of white cloth again.

Cheng Shen no longer felt the power that drove him mad.

The unremarkable strip of cloth seems to be an artifact that can isolate the influence of the power of the gods. However, Cheng Shen still thinks of the layer of polluted black mud covered by Ximan on the body surface, and he can't help guessing a little more in his heart.

"How do you feel? Do you have a... a... unique feeling!?"

Seaman didn't know how to describe it.

"No."

Cheng Shen shook his head.

"No!?"

Ximan was stunned for a moment, his dull voice suddenly raised, and he was so sick that he was at a loss at the moment, "How could there be no change? How could there be no change? You must have missed something!"

He's about to pounce.

"Lie down! I'll help you check your body carefully again!"

Zheng!
A sharp blade suddenly extended from Cheng Shen's arm covered with black lines. The blade pointed at Ximan, and the cold breath made him stop in place.But Ximan's eyes gradually became crazy.

"Who told you that the success of the deification experiment will definitely change?"

Cheng Shen said.

This question stunned Ximan, who was on the verge of going berserk.

"No one...but, but..."

he murmured.

The alchemists of their generation have been stuck for countless years in breaking through the 70% threshold in the deified transformation experiment. They have tried all the methods they can think of, and the experimental body consumed can even use the mountain of corpses as a unit of measurement!

But it is true that no one has ever told them that as long as they break through this threshold, unique changes will definitely occur?

Seaman was suddenly discouraged.

At this time, he hadn't thought that it was because of Cheng Shen's special situation. After all, the secret technique of Demon Soul Thousand Body is not very common in itself.

And parasitic demon spirits that can also do this are extremely rare.

Seaman has done decades of research, and has faced countless experimental subjects who are just waiting to be killed.

His thoughts and cognition are also limited in this field.

"What is the purpose of your research on deification experiments?"

Cheng Shen asked again.

"To achieve ideological immortality..."

Seaman replied subconsciously, and then his eyes calmed down, as if he had suddenly figured out the key to the problem.

"I see, it must be that your transformation is not thorough enough!"

he said firmly.

That's right, although Cheng Shen's experimental results have broken their bottleneck for many years.

In the final analysis, it has only reached 85% of the degree of deification.

Not even 100%!

It has not yet reached the key shackles that cause qualitative changes!

"Can you stay!" After thinking about this, Ximan suddenly said with fiery eyes, "I will ask the lord to forgive all the crimes you have committed here, as long as you can continue to be a test subject!"

"Trust me! Once this experiment is successful, it will definitely overturn all the rules and regulations of this world!
And you will hopefully become the first god in the new era! "

He is fanatical like a cultist.

No, the image should be removed. His actions fully deserve the title of believer of evil gods.

"impossible."

Cheng Shen refused him without thinking.

He is aware of his own situation, and of course he understands that the hope that Seaman sees is just an illusion, not to mention that from other aspects, Cheng Shen has countless good reasons to reject him.He's not going to be a guinea pig.

"You can try to force me to stay."

Seeing the figure shaking in the inner room, Cheng Shen said calmly.

Zheng!
The blade protruding from his forearm suddenly withdrew, and Cheng Shen moved his body as if no one was there. After receiving the apotheosis, the degree of repulsion between his consciousness and this body deepened again, and his movements were a little stagnant.

The feeling of controlling a puppet called No. 1 has also become more and more obvious.

Fortunately, Cheng Shen used to play quite a few games with the No.1 perspective, and he usually controls the Scout Guard in this mode.

Can adapt quickly.

Ximan looked at Cheng Shen's body with longing in his black eyes.

He was still not reconciled, and said in a deep voice: "You just need to hide with me for a while! I need to observe your body data, at least let me know where the key problem for the success of this experiment is!"

Naturally, it was impossible for Cheng Shen to agree to this condition.

But he didn't directly refuse.

In fact, if he hadn't just witnessed the terrifying truth about Seaman's real body, he had already started to ask him for the information he wanted to know by his own means, why would he stand here and talk to him in a leisurely manner?
As for repaying kindness with revenge?
The premise is.

The other party really helped him heal his injuries with good intentions.

And the reason why Seaman helped him was not because he threw out information that the other party was interested in.

Furthermore.

His purpose of helping himself to transform was not so kind.

"I want to know more about that sick village." Cheng Shen directly changed the subject, "As I said at the beginning, I'm not going there to attract your attention, but I have a reason to go there.

The more detailed you help me understand, if you have the conditions, I will try my best to help you complete it. "

"Sick Village..."

Ximan immediately showed a strong struggle. Between the apotheosis experiment and his own obsession, he fell into a dilemma.

After a while, Seaman finally made a decision. He put down the scalpel tightly in his hand and said with complicated emotions, "Where are you really going?"

Cheng Shen responded to his question with calm eyes.

"That village has been shrouded in a nightmare..." Ximan stopped talking in the middle of his sentence, and suddenly closed his mouth, as if he was worried about something. He looked around cautiously, and then said: "I can't reveal too much information."

"Is it the devil's curse?"

Cheng Shen recalled the strange man he had caught in the Temple of Sacrifice. The other man was about to speak when he was killed by an unknown force.

Seaman didn't respond.

As if he would attract the other party's attention just by mentioning it.

"trouble."

Cheng Shen thought to himself, if he made a sudden move, controlled Ximan, prevented the other party from releasing those red bugs, and then used soul stripping techniques and other means to break down the devil's restrictions, how likely it was to be feasible...

At last.

He still gave up.

It doesn't say whether the soul stripping technique is effective for the devil's restriction.

The power from the remains of the gods alone cannot be dealt with by his avatar alone, and there is no benefit in rashly doing it except ending in a deadly situation and disrupting his plan.

"I can tell you about a few taboos there."

Seaman said.

"What taboo?"

Cheng Shen was already planning to leave.

"Don't go out after dark...don't come near when you hear singing...don't go into any house without windows...lastly, most importantly, don't trust anyone! Even if you meet me there!"

Seaman said slowly.

"Humph……"

He seemed to have a way to prevent the devil's curse from taking effect, but the price was extremely high. Every time he uttered a word, a large amount of dirty body fluid would seep out of his body, and the cloth he had just changed was completely soaked again in a blink of an eye.

"Meet you?"

Cheng Shen pondered the meaning of Ximan's words.

He also heard the same words from the mouth of the Transcendent who was killed by him.

But the place mentioned by the other party is in the old city.

"Nightmare..."

Cheng Shen was thoughtful.

"Could it be that there is some kind of power originating from nightmares in the old city that will reappear past people or things? And the barren village is also a part of the old city, and has been affected by this inexplicable power..."

He looked at Seaman, who shook his head weakly, apparently unable to provide him with any information.

"State your terms."

Cheng Shen said.

If these few taboos provided by Seaman are true, they will indeed be of great help to him. This is a favor independent of the previous grievances. Although Cheng Shen is disgusted with what he has done, he does not want to owe him.

"To be honest, I don't think you can do it..." Seaman's eyes revealed the only humanity, "If you can find the souls of my wife and daughter, please take them away, or... send them to complete liberation .”

"……Understood."

Cheng Shen nodded.

His previous guess was indeed correct. The pair of corpse puppets were very important to Seaman, and it was not too unexpected to get this entrustment.

"You take this."

Seaman then provided another piece of support to Cheng Shen, and he took out a silver-white one-piece robe, "This dress can prevent you from being watched by the Storm Lord in the castle, you... just ask for blessings. "

He also seemed to know what Cheng Shen was going to do next.

On Cheng Shen's face, which had already been half transformed into metal, there was a stiff smile.

"In that case,
We should be considered half partners now. "

Seaman turned to look at him, facing the naked meaning of his words without any fear, "I have helped you, but I can also expose you at any time, you are not qualified to threaten me with this matter."

"How could I threaten you, you and I are now partners who have entrusted our wealth.

Don't worry, I just need a little help from you. "

Cheng Shen said.

"I will never do anything for you in this castle."

Seaman said alertly.

"No, you just need to tell me what other alchemists are good at and what their weaknesses are...

In addition, I see that your laboratory also has a lot of good things..."

Cheng Shen's tone was relaxed.

Soon, a tall figure wrapped in a silver-white robe embroidered and carved quietly pushed the door and left the laboratory.

Cheng Shen's two newly replaced eyeballs looked like two bright light bulbs in the darkness.

"Interesting, there is actually a goblin mechanical expert among these alchemists... Also, the goblins are originally slaves raised in captivity in the Temple of Sacrifice. It is not a surprise that their people will appear here."

Cheng Shen recalled a list given to him by Seaman.

Among them, the one who caught his attention first was a mad scientist of the goblin race.

That guy may have been locked up underground for too long and his thoughts have been completely distorted. He turned around and joined the camp of the Temple of Sacrifice, and was sold to Storm Castle after several turnovers.

"You are the one."

Cheng Shen walked towards Laboratory No. [-] without making a sound.

dong dong!

He knocked on the door with his black hand.
