He suddenly had an unhealthy thought and wanted to return to the previous level of nightmare and use the video recorder to see how Ingrid was eaten...
No, just eat it raw?
No, you don’t use cutlery?
...Wait, that doesn’t seem right either.
"Is this fate..."
Annan murmured softly.
It feels like he directly controls Ingrid's fate. But in terms of actual experience, it seems like he hasn't changed anything?
Controlled, but not completely controlled.
In other words, there is no control at all.
Because the last roll was the one that really decided Ingrid's fate. And that time, Annan had good luck...or Ingrid had bad luck, so she could get such a good number.
Because in the last roll of the dice, Annan burned all the "absolute value" he could use.
After all, he couldn't let Ingrid escape directly.
In any case, Annan also had to stop Ingrid in that incident.
The price is that in the subsequent event rounds, Annan loses the possibility of controlling Ingrid's fate.
...Actually, Annan hopes to create an incident that will cause the Demon King to kill Ingrid directly. This is the best situation. Once Annan is revealed, he will definitely go straight to the cause.
Annan also didn't expect that he would be killed by Ingrid before this incident came out...
Thinking about it now, is it necessary to prevent the great success in the first event round? If there was only one child, would the devil do this?
This is reasonable.
If he hopes to train his child to be a successor, then he must prevent Ingrid from bewitching his child's mind. The blood connection itself is a very profound connection. When his child becomes an adult, Ingrid wants to
It was really easy to guide him here.
Of course, there is another possibility here.
That is, if Ingrid gave birth to a girl, then he would indeed no longer need Ingrid...
However, according to Annan's understanding of the Idol School's spells, Ingrid should not die so easily.
The successor of the Demon King, as a mortal, he dared to devour Ingrid. Not only that, he even dared to touch the remaining limbs of Ingrid. He could be said to be seeking death.
The "Ingrid" ingredients he ingested will gradually spread and proliferate along his transplanted limbs. Like a conscious tumor, they will eventually completely engulf his original body.
A gold-level idol wizard can indeed do this.
But even if Ingrid was reborn from him...she would no longer be able to return to the present world.
Because by that time, her identity will no longer be "the Purifier who entered the nightmare", but "the aborigine who has obtained the memory of the Purifier".
In that case, Ingrid is equivalent to being permanently exiled in this nightmare, a nightmare that lasts forever in which she cannot return to the real world no matter how hard she tries; a barbarian who only understands law and morality.
A dim world without sunlight all day long.
...Her ending is quite acceptable to Annan.
Although he came in to hunt down Ingrid, banishing her directly to a different world might be more effective than killing her. At least this way he wouldn't have to worry about her being resurrected in some strange way.
Annan has never doubted the bizarre resurrection ability of the idol wizard.
Professor Gray can separate himself from Professor Wolf, and the man in the mirror can even become a god through resurrection rituals. Annan is not surprised that Ingrid has some back-up plan in this regard.
...However, he has to learn from Ingrid's experience.
Unless necessary, try not to change the trajectory of fate. Otherwise, Annan will become powerless in the final story.
"...can I open the second story?"
Annan raised his head and asked the silent green-robed saint.
The man didn't respond. He just stretched out his invisible hand and raised the second card. This angle was even more suitable for Annan to watch.
The writing appears on the main line above:
"...So, Isaac finally realized the truth of the world. He felt disgusted by what he had done.
"But he has changed, but the world has not changed. As the only sober person in the world, the more sober he is, the more painful he is. The reason why he is painful is that he is a good person.
"He must make a choice: either give up his conscience and start hunting those young people; or give up his reason and let himself forget this memory. Or... give up his life.
"...Of course, maybe you are making the choice for him."
[Throw a die. When the die is an odd number, he will choose to maintain the status quo; when the die is an even number, he will try to make himself forget everything; if the die is 1 or 20, he will commit suicide due to depression or die from a trance.
Killed]
[Based on the fateful connection between you and Isaac, you will have a total of sixteen points of "absolute value" in this story. You can consume the absolute value of any unit to change your die value upward or downward]
...Why is it only sixteen o'clock?
Annan suddenly became excited.
Is my fate with Isaac not as close as my fate with Ingrid?
...Oh, that seems to be the case indeed.
Annan quickly thought of Ao Feishi's situation:
"In this way, are the absolute values of these three stories less and less each time? Easy, difficult, extremely difficult?"
This logic sounds like a medium cup, a large cup, an extra large cup...
But the situation is different from Ingrid's side.
In fact, Annan didn't know whether it was better to face Isaac's situation or to escape from it. Perhaps because Annan's kindness was not that strong, he would be more inclined to face it, but he didn't know what Isaac thought.
of.
Anyway, as long as it's not 1 and 20 it's fine.
Annan made up his mind that as long as it was not 1 and 20, he would not change this issue.
It is more important to keep as many destiny points as possible for yourself, waiting for the "final choice" or using them to save the situation.
And the dice started rolling...and finally stopped at 17 o'clock.
"Isaac chose to face reality after all. Because he thought escaping was stupid.
"This is just a nightmare after all." He thought, but he couldn't convince himself.
"He began to examine his inner fears... Why was he afraid of killing these nightmare enemies?
"He quickly got the answer: Because these people look like real people, they feel the same when touching, and they feel exactly the same when killing. It would be fine if they killed the enemy with reason, but the other party did not do anything wrong. They
They are all innocent people. If you keep killing them, it will cause Isaac to have delusions and corrode his rationality.
"Isaac realized his despicability: he didn't want to kill the teenagers in this nightmare not because he was kind. What he worried about was that if his personality was distorted in the long period of killing, what would happen to him?
After leaving this nightmare, you may not be able to integrate into human society.
"Because everything is too real. He can only rely on his own rationality to count in this eternal twilight world without day or night.
"The Count of the Dead.
“If you can’t save anyone, then at least write down the people you killed; if you can’t remember their faces and names, then at least write down the number of ‘enemies’ you killed.
"He began to carve numbers into his house after each killing. Four horizontally and one vertically represented five people. But soon, these carvings were all over his room and every wall of his room.
"Every day when he wakes up and looks at these scratches, his despair becomes more intense.
"He felt guilt crawling up his spine.
"'Can I really wake up from here one day?' Isaac would occasionally think like this at dusk when he woke up, looking at the sun that was about to set but had not yet set.
"Every time he wakes up it's dusk.
"'Does this life really have an end? Or am I actually dead, and this is my hell?' He would occasionally think so."
