Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 100: Forbidden Dreams, Dolls and Angels
Minnie Ann frowned slightly when she heard the condition of being paid first and then working.

In fact, the research team in the family and the company is not as bad as she said. Although the research team is exposed to fewer taboos, the advanced technology of "Gospel Biotechnology" itself is there, so it can't be that bad.

The fact that the family research team was helpless against the twin forbidden objects proves how difficult this forbidden object is.

The talents of the Universal System are indeed powerful and can violently break the characteristics of forbidden objects, but this is not a hundred percent sure to succeed, especially when facing the extremely rare twin forbidden objects.

If you pay in advance, you must be prepared to get nothing in the end.

After a brief thought, Minnie Ann still kept smiling and nodded, saying, "Mr. Li, your request is a little embarrassing for me, but I believe in Mr. Li's character and am willing to give you the pheromones first."

"Even if you, Mr. Li, fail to crack the code in the end, it won't affect our friendship."

Li Nanke understood that the other party was not looking for a one-time deal. Rather than cracking the taboo object itself, the other party valued his own value more.

"Thank you very much, Miss Minian... Well, I need an absolutely quiet environment where I won't be disturbed."

The forbidden object that drives the blue crystal cannot be taken out of the ancient castle, and the reward is pheromones instead of the forbidden object itself.

Seeing that Li Nanke was acting swiftly and decisively and was about to drive people away to absorb pheromones, Minnie Ann could only helplessly say:

"Mr. Li, please be safe."

She waved her hand to dismiss the guard at the door and left the secret room.

Li Nanke closed the door of the secret room, and he was the only one left in the small space.

He looked at the blue crystal in the glass box, placed his hands on the box, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to use the method of visualization to fall asleep...

……

Li Nanke opened his eyes.

The gears of the mechanical wall clock turned, making a ticking sound, and the air was filled with a faint smell of engine oil.

The room is dimly lit by old-fashioned wall lamps. There is a single sofa with a walnut frame covered with checkered fabric, heavy curtains with floral plaids, and a set of floral teacups on the table.

On the coat rack with intricate carvings hangs a slightly worn black windbreaker and vest. The furnishings in the room are all in the style of Western countries in the early 20th century.

A heavy hammer wrapped in sharp thorns was leaning against the bed, but Li Nanke's attention was not on his weapon, but on a strange hood on the coat rack.

It was a black hood that looked like a rabbit's head, with two large round lenses for the eyes, a mouth sewn with long and narrow black threads crossing each other, and the rabbit's two long ears drooping.

The door of the room opened and a graceful figure walked in.

"Honey, you finally woke up!"

The man was wearing a short gray windbreaker, a snow-white scarf around his collar, and two slender rapiers hanging from his waist.

A rabbit mask covered the upper half of her face, with two erect rabbit ears extending from above the mask, and red lips and a white, pointed chin revealed under the mask.

The woman came to the bed in surprise: "Don't move, I'll change the medicine for you."

Only then did Li Nanke notice that his chest was bare and wrapped in thick blood-stained gauze.

The woman untied the gauze for him and said, "My dear, I know you are worried about the petrification of the 'Strange Rabbit', but the area around the station is full of crazy puppets. It's not that easy to complete the task..."

As the woman's voice fell, a synchronized prompt sounded and blood-red words appeared one by one.

[Dream——'Dolls and Angels']

[Dream details: This is the best era! ]

[Alchemists created mechanical dolls powered by blue crystals by mining a mineral called 'ego element'.]

[The invention of puppets has brought great prosperity to the city of Krat. When puppets replaced most of the labor and security work, the city's development speed was visible to the naked eye.]

[People no longer need to do heavy labor and can freely display their literary and artistic talents. Inventions such as railroad trams and puppet factories have emerged. Opera houses and amusement parks have brought colorful things to Krat. Puppets are responsible for work, while people are responsible for creating art...]

【This is also the worst era! 】

[At some point, the mechanical puppets were no longer content with slavery and oppression, and violated the established great contract. They rioted in groups and attacked humans. The petrification disease spread silently, causing people to suffer so much that they turned into crazy zombies...]

[The city of Kratt fell into chaos, its prosperity was gone, and only desolation and death remained.] [You are a strong mercenary 'Tracker' who is ordered by a noble to act, and you lead the 'Black Rabbit Gang' which consists of only four people, including you.]

[Faced with the chaos and madness of Kratt City, how can you unravel the secrets hidden in the darkness? 】

Ego, Blue Crystal, Alchemist, Riot Doll, Petrification, Tracker...

Li Nanke seemed to be thinking about something.

The enemies of this world seem to be mainly powerful puppets created by alchemists. They seem to have nothing to do with bestiality. The only possible connection is the so-called petrification disease...

The woman untied the blood-stained gauze and exclaimed, only to see that the terrible wound on her chest had disappeared.

Li Nanke held those hands, carefully recalled the memories in his mind, and said to the woman codenamed "Cunning Rabbit":
"Is that giant puppet still around?"

As the gang leader "Black Rabbit", he asked his noble employer for a panacea to cure his friend "Cunning Rabbit's" younger brother "Strange Rabbit", who is also his brother-in-law, of petrification.

As a condition, he was ordered to come to the city station and find a puppet hidden in a train car and take it to one of the few safe bases in the city - the Krat City Hotel.

According to the information provided by the employer, the doll seems to be extremely valuable, and there are far more people who want to compete for it than just the employer. He is likely to encounter other trackers, so the mission is very dangerous.

The Black Rabbit originally wanted to carry out the mission alone, but the Cunning Rabbit was worried and followed him secretly.

Fortunately, the Cunning Rabbit followed him. When the Black Rabbit was seriously injured and unable to stand against the giant puppet at the station, the Cunning Rabbit took him away from the station.

The cunning rabbit shook his head and asked worriedly:
"The giant puppet didn't chase too far and has now returned to the station... Dear, how did your injury heal so quickly? Are you feeling okay now?"

Li Nanke squinted his eyes and scolded according to his memory:
"Why are you asking so many questions? Who told you to sneak in here without my permission?"

The cunning rabbit lowered her head, not daring to speak, looking a little aggrieved, thinking that Li Nanke was going to drive her back.

Li Nanke stood up and said, "Remember this next time, when you are on a mission, call me Boss... Go get my clothes!"

Upon hearing this, the cunning rabbit's worry turned into joy. He gave him a kiss on the face and obediently took the clothes from the coat rack.

Li Nanke put on his clothes, picked up the bloody hammer, walked to the window and opened the curtains.

The sky was gloomy and gray after the rain, the streets were slippery and wet, and looking down from the second floor of Wu Ren’s house, there were several figures wandering on the street.

As they walked and wandered, their limbs displayed an inhuman sense of incoordination, and electric sparks occasionally flashed at the joints of their bodies.

Looking at the end of the street, there are layers of stairs leading up, and above the open door hangs a neon sign inlaid with a circle of old-fashioned light beads - Kratt City Station.

A short figure walked over from the other side of the street. The figure wearing a gray mouse mask caught the attention of the mechanical doll.

Facing several mechanical puppets that were rushing towards him, 'Gray Rat' held a scimitar in his hand, with cold light flashing continuously. Every time he swung the knife, it would leave behind tiny dots of azure particles, which were the light that bloomed from using his ego element.

Soon, the powerful puppet turned into broken limbs and fell to the ground, sparking electric sparks.

Gray Rat held the scimitar in his hand, stepped over the fallen puppet, and walked into the station gate.

He is the tracker of the robbery mission target!
At the same time, the synchronous prompt sound sounded again.

[Key Node 1: Lead the employer's target 'Doll P' to officially check into the Carat Hotel. ]

Li Nanke's eyes flickered.

According to memory, these puppets created by alchemists are extremely powerful. Once the puppets driven by the 'ego element' crystal go wild and out of control, the destructive power they cause is no less than that of a chariot.

This is just the lowest level and most common service doll.

The enemy tracker was able to deal with the puppet so easily, so his strength should not be underestimated. No wonder he got a teammate, Cunning Rabbit, for free as soon as he entered the Forbidden Dream.

He thought for a moment, then said to the cunning rabbit beside him who was good at stealth assassination:

"You continue to follow me secretly and don't let anyone find you. When the critical moment comes, I'll ask you to take action, and you take action. Do you understand?"

The cunning rabbit suddenly became interested, licked his red lips and said: "Dear... No, Boss, are we going to rob the thieves?"
