Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 302 Taking Medicine from the Clinic
"Why did you get overly excited after hearing my voice..."

Cheng Shen paused for a moment, thinking a little bit, he had seen too many deaths, at least he could tell, the behavior of this person before death was not like the reaction of a abused victim hearing the savior...

"The people in the nightmare are not normal."

shook his head.

Cheng Shen endured the stench and searched around.

There were very few things in this house, and the two rooms inside and outside were empty, but he still gained something. Cheng Shen found a sharp knife in a pile of messy hair not far from the wooden bed.

[Obtain: Nightmare Blade! 】

……

The system's prompt sound became distorted and sharp through the nightmare, which shocked Cheng Shen.

But he tried to look at the sharp knife with a thick layer of dirty cloth wrapped around the handle, but he couldn't see any weapon attributes.

Cheng Shen was thoughtful.

Soon, he moved his hands and tore the clothes on the corpse into long strips, then cut the top of the stick in his hand with a sharp knife, disassembled the handle of the knife, and inserted the sharp blade into the crack tightly. Bind up.

As such.

He got a poorly made spear.

Cheng Shen has much more experience with guns than sticks, and it is more convenient to kill people with bladed weapons.

"These can also be used..."

Cheng Shen's brain turned, and he threw the remaining cloth strips on the ground, soaked them in the dirt mixed with human body oils, and stuffed them into his arms regardless of the disgust. At critical moments, this thing might be used to make torches.

He then left the building along the same path through the window.

"What was that thing just now... The people in the room opposite me don't seem to be hiding from me on purpose.

And it seems to know the appearance rule of that blood-red ghost. "

Cheng Shen turned his head.

His perception ability was also unusable due to the sealing of his spiritual power, but his most elusive intuition was greatly enhanced.Cheng Shen guessed that this ability might originate from a certain quality of the deep soul.

And he is the conscious body condensed by the deep soul at this moment, so this change will occur.

This is also the reason why he was able to detect the danger approaching in time just now.

squeak...

Just as he was thinking, the door of the room he was staring at opened, and through the crack, a pale face appeared.

The woman in the plain white dress looked haggard, and she said to Cheng Shen with a palpitation on her face:

"Daniel, you scared me to death just now! Have you forgotten that nightmares will appear at noon every day? Fortunately, you hid in Old John's house in time... By the way, I haven't seen Old John for many days... "

The woman chattered in a soft, cold tone.

It sounded like the concern of the aunt next door, but Cheng Shen didn't believe even a word of her words.

There was at least four or five minutes between when he left the house and when the nightmare appeared.

She obviously has enough time to remind herself aloud.

And most importantly.

When the woman spoke, the malice in those bloodshot eyes was too obvious.

Cheng Shen only had the feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake.

"Old John? He's dead."

Cheng Shen said directly, observing the other party's reaction.

"Dead?" The woman showed a surprised expression, and her body shrank back. She had a very strange smile on her face, as if she was afraid of herself, and seemed to be laughing at what strange things she had done.

"No wonder. It's good to die, it's good to die... But isn't it too early?"

she asked strangely.

早？
Cheng Shen remained calm and did not answer. The other party seemed to believe that Old John committed suicide, but the information revealed in this sentence was so weird that Cheng Shen couldn't guess the woman's purpose for a while.

Since coming to this world, he has experienced too many exchanges of unequal information.

In his experience, not answering is the best response when faced with such a situation.

Because you can't be sure how many meanings there are in the other party's words.

say more

Too many mistakes.

What's more, he is still playing the role of a nightmare aborigine at this time.Cheng Shen didn't know what troubles it would bring him if he was exposed, but since it was an uncertain matter, it would definitely not be wrong to try to avoid it as much as possible.

The woman's strange reaction once again cast a fog over Cheng Shen's heart.

His eyes flickered slightly, he picked up the spear with the blade wrapped in cloth strips, and took a step towards the room where the woman was. The woman stepped back immediately as if she was on guard, and her body was hidden in the darkness.

"Are you going to do something to me now? I advise you to think about it, I'm not as easy to deal with as Old John!"

she warned.

"..."

Hearing this, Cheng Shen stopped in his tracks.

Of course, it wasn't the woman's threat that dissuaded him, but the house.When facing a woman alone, Cheng Shen didn't feel it, but when he got close, he inexplicably felt a strong crisis from that building.

Cheng Shen grinned slightly, showing a smile, "I don't even understand what you're talking about, I didn't kill Old John."

He was telling the truth.

But the tone expressed can make people feel no sincerity.

"Whether you killed it or not, we'll know in the evening." The woman's cold voice came out, "It's still early, I really don't understand why you did it early, your brain seems to be affected by laziness!"

"Ha ha."

Cheng Shen snorted noncommittally.

The woman's words let him hear some key information. These nightmare residents seem to be waiting for a fixed time, and as soon as that time comes, someone will start a killing in this small town...

who can that be?

The psycho who imprisoned and abused Old John?

Or……

Cheng Shen didn't continue talking to the woman.

It was already a very risky move for him to act arrogantly and make stereotypes on purpose, because he didn't know what kind of person Daniel was before.

Talk more.

The easier it is for him to reveal his true identity in front of women.

Cheng Shen turned and left. The conversation with the woman also let him know another important piece of information, that is, the horrible nightmare ghost just now will only appear at noon every day, at least he doesn't have to worry about it in the future.

but.

The ghost knows how many similar dangers there are in this small town...

Nightmare wanders around noon.

After noon.

It seems that the speed of evolution to the night time has been accelerated in the small town.

The light became increasingly dim, but the burning fireball in the sky became more and more conspicuous. The pitch-black light shone on the buildings, further setting off a deadly atmosphere, and there seemed to be unknown creeps in the shadows.

"This town will definitely become more terrifying at night. It seems that the only way to avoid danger is to stay in the building... But if I can't get the medicine before night, I can't go back to that terrible home..."

Cheng Shen thought to himself.

"To old John's?"

His thoughts changed, but what the woman said just now made him a little more uncertain.

She was surprised that "herself" killed Old John.

But this surprise did not stem from why he wanted to kill Old John, but why he did it so early... There was even a bit of schadenfreude in her tone, as if he had done something stupid.

And her reaction undoubtedly showed that killing someone before that special time would bring her a lot of trouble.

Where will the trouble come from?
Cheng Shen was not sure, and it was precisely this uncertainty that made him feel extremely afraid of the house where someone died.

He just wants now.

The person who abused old John couldn't really be the former Daniel...

"found it."

Cheng Shen stopped in front of a building. This building was taller than ordinary houses, and it was also made of earth and stone. The steep spire was covered with black tiles, and there was no emblem on the surface to show its function.

The reason why Cheng Shen was sure was because he smelled a bitter smell of herbs.

Since the factor of having medicine is almost inseparable, at least it is more reliable than him continuing to search aimlessly.

The two opposite wooden doors are tightly closed, and there is a faint yellow light in the framed glass inlaid on the door.

Cheng Shen pushed the door open and entered.

The strong smell of bitter herbal medicine mixed with a faint smell of rancidity immediately gushed out of the house.This is a long and narrow consulting room. There are five beds on the right side of the room, and a patient is lying on three of them.

They were tightly bound with bandages all over their bodies.

Lying in bed.

not moving at all.

But that familiar shape made Cheng Shen's heart tense instantly.

"Sick ghost..."

A word repeatedly emphasized by Seaman came to mind, that is, in the deserted village, besides the devil, the most terrifying existence, even in a sense, their threat is even scarier than that devil!
Cheng Shen has seen Ximan's real body with his own eyes, so of course he firmly believes in his warning.

He paused at the door for a moment before he clenched his spear tightly and walked slowly into the house.On the shelf on the left side of the consulting room were many bottles and jars filled with cloudy liquids, as well as sharp needle barrels that looked like syringes.

Some syringes have been used, and the translucent glass tubes are filled with viscous blood, and some greasy yellow-white liquids.

A door on the inner side of the consulting room was ajar, and the dim candlelight illuminated the walking figures.

"anyone there?"

Cheng Shen asked softly.

The slight noise from the inner room disappeared immediately, and after a while, an old man with a stooped figure and dark yellow skin covered with wrinkles came out from inside.

He wiped it with a wet rag in his hand, and he could see traces of blood.

"You're a bit late today..." he said hoarsely, and then his eyes swept across Cheng Shen's hand, automatically ignoring the weapon in his hand, and asked calmly, "Why didn't you bring any money? Will give medicine."

Need money for medicine?
Hmm... This seems to be a common-sense question... Cheng Shen secretly gritted his molars, his cheeks twitched, and his thoughts raced. He checked himself clearly, and there was nothing that could be called currency at all.

Do you have to ask for it from the monster in the back room?

He lost an important step?

wrong……

This medicine was obviously very important to that monster, if so, even if he didn't know that he had neglected it, the monster would not forget to give it to him.

unless.

The money in his mouth does not refer to currency in the conventional sense.

"I'll give it to you next time." Cheng Shen didn't try to explain, but just said.

"You know I never have the habit of paying on credit..."

The old man's face darkened.

Cheng Shen's heart shuddered.

For some reason, the other party's words had a hint of suspicion, which made him puzzled, but he obviously didn't have time to think about it right now, and Cheng Shen spoke quickly as his thoughts turned rapidly.

"Old John is dead."

That's all.

Cheng Shen didn't reveal any more information.

His body tensed up, and he was ready to go. If he couldn't be fooled by this news, he had no choice but to use violence to solve the problem!

"You... killed him?"

The other party reacted as strangely as a woman when she heard the news.

"It was an accident."

Cheng Shen has figured out some of the taboos that these nightmare residents are afraid of, and he is no longer as arrogant in front of the old man.

"His death will still be counted on your head."

said the old man.

"..."

Cheng Shen was speechless.

The wrinkles on the old man's face formed a smile, and he said something that shocked Cheng Shen's heart. "Your behavior today is very strange, unlike the usual Daniel, maybe you are the ghost who is hiding this time!"

Cheng Shen narrowed his eyes slightly to conceal the constriction of his pupils.

He calmly said: "If I were a ghost, I would have killed you directly by now."

"It's not like what the cowardly Daniel dared to say..."

The old man was talking, but when he saw Cheng Shen's expression, he slowly smoothed the corners of his crooked mouth.

His doubts were not dispelled, but he was a little more uncertain.

Because if Daniel, whose temperament has changed drastically, is the ghost this time, his behavior would be too weird.

鬼，
Also know the "rules of the game".

And the ghost who wants to win the game will try his best to hide his identity and pretend to be a replacement target, so as not to miss any flaws.But Cheng Shen's behavior at this moment is completely opposite to the ghosts in previous games...

"Regardless of whether you are a ghost or not... You killed Old John and released a nightmare. You will never survive the hunting night."

He is still exploring.

"I want to get the medicine."

Cheng Shen has already got the information he wanted, and he doesn't want to keep inking with him anymore, it will be dark soon, if he can't take the medicine back to appease the monster, the only safe zone in this nightmare will be lost.

"Get the medicine? Yes..." The old man smiled, "But you didn't bring anything in exchange this time, so I have to promise me one thing before I can give you the medicine."

"I said something would be brought to you tomorrow!"

Cheng Shen naturally refused to agree easily.

"No."

The old man's attitude is quite firm.

Cheng Shen was silent, he frowned and thought about it for a while, and finally compromised: "What's the matter?"

"Go and help me pick ten human face flowers."

said the old man.

Human face flower...

It doesn't sound like an ordinary thing, and it must be dangerous, but Cheng Shen has no choice at this time.

"Give me the medicine first, and I'll pick it up for you tomorrow."

He said.

"can."

Of course the old man knew that it was going to be dark soon, but he immediately took a deep look at Cheng Shen,
"The previous Daniel has never been so smart."

"Do you know which one is the real me?"

Cheng Shen glanced at him.

He judged that the old man hadn't completely confirmed his identity, so no matter what, he just had to bite him to death. If he didn't admit it, the old man wouldn't really treat him as the ghost hiding in the nightmare residents.
