It is designed to target everyone's spiritual flaws and is enough to completely destroy a person's despair.
But Isaac managed to hold on to this despair with only his own strength and perseverance, without any intervention from Annan, and walked out on his own...
Annan's only assistance to him was probably to turn "time synchronized with the outside world" into an "event" that could be fast-forwarded to the end in an instant.
When Annan read "The Story of Ingrid" before, I couldn't tell much about it. But the more than sixty years of Isaac's life were accelerated by the card in Annan's hand to one sentence, in a flash.
It's over.
This can at least prevent Isaac from finding anyone he knows after leaving the nightmare world and returning to reality. Being able to obtain the fragment of truth from here can only be said to be an unexpected surprise.
However, after using the method of "overcoming his own despair" to clear the level, he was actually able to obtain the fragment of truth... which surprised Annan a little.
This also made Annan vaguely aware of it.
Although the influence of worms was brought in because of Annan... this nightmare does not seem to have been completely corroded. It at least still possesses a part of the crane.
Although the worm is powerful and weird, it cannot, under any circumstances, possess the ability to grant fragments of truth to others - that is undoubtedly the power that belongs exclusively to the Heavenly Cart.
"The question now is, what should Ao Feishi do..."
Annan frowned, feeling a little distressed.
After all, Isaac is a gold-level transcendent and a master of scientific research. But on the earth of other templates, there are even "peers" who can be called great men.
But Ofhisi...he is just a silver-level bard.
The only extraordinary thing about him is his golden harp and his name.
If Annan's speculation is correct, Orpheus also has a "special homoplasm" on Annan's earth.
The son of Apollo and the muse Calliopa, holding the golden lyre given by Apollo, the poet who participated in the adventure of the "Argo"... Orpheus.
He is the incarnation of Lyra, so he should have something special about him.
Otherwise...even if Annan can twist his destiny, how can Offishi escape from this despair?
With this worry, Annan opened the third card.
He has gradually become proficient in this process.
Watch the black font gradually emerge from above:
"...As a result, Ofishi gradually realized that the planet he was on was a 'dead world'.
"There are no longer living creatures and residents in the traditional sense here, only these dolls who have no love and no understanding of beauty. They only know right and wrong, need and no need, and caring about Isaac is 'meaningless'
thing'.
"This is a world that makes Orpheus most desperate. Because in this world, everything is about efficiency - the whole world is like a cold gear machine, running endlessly.
“And the most meaningless thing is ‘sound’.
"Except for the sound of walking and the sound of machinery running, he couldn't hear any sound. The 'aboriginals' in this world only need to make eye contact - even within a relatively close range, they can communicate instantly. Regardless of this
How complex communication is.
"For them, dialogue, words, expressions, and movements are all unnecessary decorations. Orpheus also gradually understood... It's not that [they] are indifferent, but that the place where [they] stand is more important than the
Orpheus is higher and farther.
"Compared with [them], I am the savage one!
"As smart as Ophelia, she quickly realized this.
"So, he decided -"
[Throwing a dice, the smaller the number on the dice, the more conservative his actions will be; the larger the number on the dice, the more radical his actions will be]
[Based on the fateful connection between you and Orpheus, you will have a total of eight "absolute values" in this story. You can consume the absolute value of any unit to change your die value upward or downward]
——The absolute value of eight points.
Annan's heart sank.
This means that there is almost nothing he can do. At most, he can help Orpheus reverse one or two desperate situations, and the rest will be left to fate.
While Annan was watching, Offishi's first destiny die soon showed the number: 16.
"Ophelia decided to take a bolder step."
But this time only one line was displayed, and a new event popped up immediately.
[Throw a dice again. The closer the dice number is to the number he rolled last time, the greater the success rate of the plan; if the number is 1 or 20, it will definitely fail. 】
——Continuous rolling of dice?
Are the rules different again?
Annan thought to himself and touched the dice in front of him again.
Fortunately... Offishi's luck is pretty good.
This time he rolled 14 points.
It's only two points away from sixteen, so the success rate should be quite high.
Annan suppressed the urge to make up two points for him to ensure success and continued to watch the development of the story.
But Ofishi's plan surprised him a little:
"He began to think, could it be that his skills were too poor? If Yaweng came here and played the golden harp himself, he would surely be able to make the stone weep and the steel weep.
"It is precisely because his singing cannot convey his thoughts across species and civilizations. [They] cannot understand what they mean.
"——Then, playing songs for them, or playing the piano in order to find survivors in this world, is a mistake.
"He should only play music for himself. If his music is really great, it should be able to save an infinitely desperate person from despair - if his music cannot even save a person who he knows extremely well, has the same aesthetics, and the same language,
People of the same civilization, let alone making iron and stone resonate with them.
"So Orpheus decided to save herself first.
"In the silent world, passionate music suddenly echoed across the sky.
"He climbed to the highest tower he could see, fumbled to find the button to turn on the loudspeaker machine, looked down at the cold and silent world, and played one song after another with all his strength.
"Not to please people, nor to tell any stories. He just plays an impassioned and heroic hymn for one person - for 'himself'. Even when facing his own tragic fate, a hero will never
yield.
"He kept repeating the inspiration of 'destiny', roaring and singing in the strong wind. It was obviously just a lyre, but it seemed as if a hundred different instruments were playing at the same time, reaching a town through a loudspeaker.
"Until the end, Ofhisi did not use music to impress anyone except himself. But just like this... it was enough. Because he would never commit suicide, let alone give up-whenever he was about to forget today's
When he wishes, he will play this great music again and regain the great will preserved in the music.
"He had to do something.
"In addition to being a bard, he is also the leader of a country - he cannot communicate with those puppets, but the puppets themselves can certainly communicate with each other easily.
"He only needs to find a helper. A 'people' who can understand his words and be willing to obey his wishes, so that he can expand this 'hope' against fate."
[Roll your dice, if the number is above 6 (including 6), then he will be able to find such a helper]
Looking at the story on this card, Annan's heart was filled with excitement.
He touched the dice without hesitation, and looked forward to the number that fate gave to Orpheus. Looking forward to him once again relying on his own strength to create miracles...
It finally stopped.
The number is: 2.
It's like being hit with a bucket of cold water.
In an instant, a cold feeling penetrated Annan's back.
But soon, Annan gritted his teeth.
He shouted loudly:
"——What a joke!"
This kind of fate will make people fall into despair again... don't forget it!
Annan did not hesitate to send four points of absolute destiny, forcibly reversing this absolute tragedy.
The absolute value that can distort destiny is used in this kind of place! It should be used to bring hope and "possibility" to people!
Although he wanted to wait and see as much as possible, he could never just ignore it——
Because what he wants to be is justice that will never be late!
