The girl with long straight hair looked at Annan with her arms folded, showing a joking smile: "Maybe... you are the redundant one?"
"No one is superfluous."
Annan said softly: "We need each other and prove each other."
"That's nice to say."
Black Annan sighed and said with a dull expression: "But in the end, it's just sympathy.
"Hospice care, right? Or mourning with flowers and wine?"
"What you said... is too sad."
Annan chuckled: "It's as if I came here specially to visit your grave."
"Is it not?"
The girl asked back.
Annan smiled brightly: "Of course!"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to Hei Annan: "I'm taking you out of here."
"……Ah."
The girl was silent for a long time and sighed: "As expected of me.
"Need help, my other self?"
"please help me!"
Annan immediately called out unceremoniously.
"...You are so rude. Do I have to reply, 'Please come over here'?"
"This is called self-reliance. You should praise me for being self-reliant."
"This face is worthy of me."
The corner of Hei Annan's mouth raised slightly: "This sense of peace...is so nostalgic. If only I could have written about meeting you earlier."
"It's very blue..."
Annan smiled and waved his hand: "Only if one of you and I dies can we meet here, right?"
"Then it's me who I'd rather die."
Black Annan said coldly: "After all, there are people who care about you...but no one misses me.
"To everyone, you are an upgraded version of me... It can be said to be Annan P Lu S, or mega Annan. Just like after there is a new model, the only thing that can be praised for the old product is its 'cost-effectiveness'.
"This is like saying that a dish is made from fresh ingredients, or that an actor knows how to recite lines. These are comments that are only used when there is really no need to praise them."
"Of course not."
Annan retorted without hesitation: "Until now, there are still people who remember you."
"People from the Hand of Winter?"
However, their highly synchronized thinking allowed Hei Annan to guess the truth immediately.
She sneered, opened the refrigerator behind her, took out two cans of ice Coke, and threw one to Annan: "I think you must miss it very much."
"How can that be summed up in the word special!"
Annan held the perfectly cold Coke in his hands in surprise: "Iced sparkling fruit tea is not happy water after all..."
"But no matter how much you miss it, it's still fake."
Black Annan laughed and said: "Just like me."
As she spoke, she drank the can of iced Coke in one gulp.
Then, she threw the empty Coke can away and it dissipated into the void.
Annan just chuckled: "It's not like me to care so much about [truth and falsehood]. Or are you reminding me of something?"
Looking at Hei Annan, Annan sitting in the wheelchair said quietly:
"Is this a hint of the second round of missions? Or is it some kind of test?
"[Find the only dead person], and [Find the real world line]..."
"How much did you untie?"
Black Annan suddenly asked.
Annan casually replied: "About sixty to seventy percent."
"That's a bit weak."
"I'm just being modest, can't you see?"
Annan replied dissatisfied.
He quickly became serious and said seriously: "The situation is actually very simple.
"If the world we were in before is regarded as the first level, it is like being buried deep in this seabed... Then escaping from here is the second level.
"That's the [person in the sea of fire] who appeared when my nightmare first started.
"He was drugged. Even though he was gradually waking up, he was still unable to move his body... and was eventually attacked by an unknown person.
"And when he was on the verge of death, maybe it was because of fear or the medicine he swallowed took effect. He had hallucinations, which gave rise to the nightmare we experienced on the first level.
"So, he is the only one who died."
Annan affirmed.
The girl asked: "So, who is he?"
"This question is also very simple."
Annan smiled: "In this first level of nightmare, except for us... everyone else actually has certain characteristics."
"Afraid of tomorrow?"
"Not only that. To be precise, they should not be in this village. No matter what old woman is dying but not dead, or a wage earner who has been on the run for a month and has not been fired, there is no one to take care of him and he doesn't even have a husband.
A very obese pregnant woman, a farmer tending endless wheat fields alone...
"Everyone's 'personality' looks extremely unreal. It can even be called weird. The reason for this is very simple... because they are not real people in the first place.
"They are all projections of the fears hidden in someone's heart."
Annan replied calmly.
For pregnant women, being overweight is very dangerous.
And according to other people's memories... and the "diaries" they wrote on paper, this village "had only ten people from the beginning."
"Since she has no husband, no one to take care of her, and no one else has such a close relationship with her, how did she get pregnant out of thin air?"
Annan asked back: "It can't possibly be the conception of the Holy Spirit, right?
"Even if you were conceived by the Holy Spirit, you, a beautiful girl with black stockings, are obviously more suitable to be the Virgin than that pregnant woman who weighs more than 300 pounds..."
Annan was only halfway through speaking when he was interrupted by the ice coke thrown by Black Annan.
He smiled, casually opened the Coke can in his hand, and let the Coke foam pour out of the Coke can onto his hand and spread down his arm onto the wheelchair.
He gave the answer directly: "Therefore, 'Ms.' is not real. What she represents is not the fear of pregnant women, but the fear of newborn babies."
“If we continue to think about it from this perspective, the term ‘old woman’ can only refer to wealthy bosses.
"Her health is so bad that she seems to be dying at any time. This actually implies the fear that 'even if you have money, you can't buy health.' But on the other hand, this just means that the owner of the nightmare does not have money.
"He couldn't imagine how the factory owners made money, let alone how the factories operated. A person can't dream of something he has never seen and doesn't know... That's why there is such a crazy pursuit of factory owners.
The only episode where the employee was missing for a month.
"At the same time, his health may not be very good. So much so that he doubts that he may not be able to cure his body even if he makes money."
"The fear of tomorrow's surgery day means that he may have lost someone important on the operating table..."
When Annan said this, he paused slightly.
"Except you, except him. There are only six people left here... I have already told one-third of the answer to the riddle, do I need to continue?"
