Due to the sudden bright light, Annan's eyes narrowed subconsciously.
…Is this Denton’s nightmare?
Although I knew that I might travel back and forth between multiple nightmares, when it came to this moment, I felt a little uncomfortable...
Will this have a mission?
At this moment, Annan opened his own panel:
Health...95%?
He was startled for a moment.
Not because it's low, but...how could it be so high?
It was as if he was being tortured...
Suddenly, without warning - like splashing water, a large amount of cold water came from the sky, soaking Annan's body instantly.
It was like a whole basin of cold water had been poured on it.
His hair was completely wet, and the sudden cold water on his back made all the muscles in his body tense. But he was completely unable to stand up from the chair.
"...Drink...haaah——?!"
Annan suddenly took a breath of cold air, subconsciously opened his mouth and gasped for air, his heart was beating hard.
In just an interval of about five seconds, twice as much cold water came from the sky again.
The biting cold feeling almost made Annan feel suffocated.
For a moment he had the illusion that he was drowning, and then the water flow suddenly stopped.
"Wait...wait! What are you going to do?"
It is estimated that there will be water for a while, Annan asked quickly.
He suddenly fell into this nightmare. He didn't even have a main mission, let alone a guide...
He didn't even understand what happened!
"Behave, Mr. Denton."
The eunuch-like voice sounded sinisterly again: "This is necessary treatment.
"Your spirit... needs to be cleansed."
Before Annan could think about it, more ice water than the previous two times combined poured down overwhelmingly!
Annan couldn't help but choked on the water this time - the water this time was much colder than the last time!
——This is completely ice water!
Only then did he realize...this seemed to be a "hydrotherapy" that was once used to treat mental illness!
But your fucking spa uses ice water?!
"Cough... cough cough..."
Finally, Annan couldn't help but choked and coughed: "Wait...I'm choking..."
The water in the ground was up to his ankles.
However, before Annan could rest or even receive any response, more water fell from the sky.
But this time the water did not stop, and the man behind him stopped talking.
At this moment, Annan suddenly realized everything.
Perhaps the purpose of Denton coming here was to treat himself...but the "doctor" who performed the hydrotherapy definitely wanted to kill him!
You must not sit still and wait for death!
Will die!
Maybe next time it will be boiling water...
——But there are no silver coins around.
Annan did not hesitate and tried hard to break away from the ropes on both sides of the chair that bound his wrists.
He struggled hard twice and immediately found that the knot was too strong - it didn't look like it was used to stop the patient from struggling, but more like it was used to kidnap someone...
——So can the spell be used?
Annan quickly ran through the spells he had mastered in his mind... but he found that his mind was being continuously washed by ice water, and he could not concentrate at all, and he could not use the guidance spells and chanting spells at all.
He couldn't even open his eyes!
And even if he opened it, he couldn't see anyone at all. His wrist was held upside down, so cold contact couldn't be used...
……wrong!
The next moment, Annan suddenly opened his eyes.
Thank God Denton had learned the incapacitation school of spells!
A bright blue light flashed from his eyes, and while he lowered his head, he uttered an extremely complex and cold sentence: "Get out of here!"
——[Frost's Words]!
As the words from his mouth fell to the ground, the surroundings around him suddenly became extremely cold.
A splash of water turned into a sharp ice blade, which quickly struck Annan's left wrist. While cutting the hemp rope, it also left a gash on his wrist that was about two centimeters thick and three to four centimeters long.
Annan took a breath, raised his left hand, pulled out the skate with his teeth, then held his left hand behind his back and cut the rope on his right wrist!
Then came the ropes around his ankles - by this time the water was almost up to his knees, and when he stretched his hands into the ice water, he could even feel the resistance visible to the naked eye.
Perhaps because he did not have the profession of Frost Whisperer, Annan felt that his tongue was gradually freezing after he said [Frost Whisperer]. His skin also suffered from obvious frostbite due to the sudden coldness of the surrounding air.
His health has been reduced to 53%!
But the good news is, he finally got up from his chair!
He looked back and found that there was no one behind him - there was only a closed vent more than two meters high. And directly above him was a square drainage channel, going down towards the seat.
The icy water tilted with a crash.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly...
Annan gritted his teeth and stood up unsteadily from the ice water.
If he had just tried to communicate with the person behind him, the water might have almost touched his chest by the time he reacted.
At that point, even if he had the means, he wouldn't be able to untie the rope around his ankle.
"You can trap Denton, but you can't trap me..."
Annan muttered in a low voice and read: "The element of frost——"
Denton's body did not awaken the frost element, so Annan had to use mana first to exchange for the power of the element.
"——Wheel of Frost, use the wall as a road!"
With a feeling of emptiness in his body, the wheel of frost released from Annan's hand, which was more than half the size of himself, came out and quickly knocked open the wall.
In front of it was an empty, dark space. The water on the ground began to flow there.
A doubt suddenly appeared in Annan's mind.
...This should be the "past" that Denton has personally experienced, right?
For a soul-stealing wizard, this kind of killing device is much more deadly. It can be said that it is impossible for Denton to escape from it... But how did he survive?
Also, who is it that wants to kill someone in this way?
Or...is this just Denton's "fear of death"?
Annan exhaled the panel again and saw that his health had been lost to less than 50%, so he rushed out along the crack without thinking.
The next moment, Annan was in a trance.
I felt myself standing in front of my seat in a daze... and the world in front of me turned into the subway again.
...Back? So soon?
"What are you standing for? Sit down."
The teacher beside him frowned slightly and said calmly.
"……yes."
Annan was about to sit down, but was suddenly startled when his butt touched the seat.
……Huh?
She clearly felt that her body was extremely cold, and she could not help but shiver.
Looking down, Annan suddenly saw - there was a scar about three to four centimeters long on Bella's wrist.
It's still very new...and the wound is very moist, with blood slowly oozing out.
Annan looked back at the teacher and stretched out his left hand to signal.
But he found that it was as if he couldn't see the wound at all - even his eyes had no focus on the wound.
Annan opened his own panel thoughtfully:
[Health: 37%]
——He suddenly lost blood.
And Annan was still 90% healthy just now...
...Unless the 53% of the damage he suffered when he was Denton was calculated.
All the damage sustained in the previous nightmare fragment... was fed back to his body?
And in Bella's nightmare, no one is aware of the injuries she has suffered? This means that Annan can't even heal these injuries...
...Absolutely amazing.
Why do I suddenly feel like three pills are not enough...
Annan suddenly realized vaguely how difficult this twisted nightmare was.
He just thought that this nightmare was too simple - in the blink of an eye, two of the three side tasks were almost completed...
Unexpectedly, the core difficulty of this nightmare lies in "a time-limited escape at the lowest cost".
The difficulty with the Gallery is all about "puzzle solving"; the difficulty of the Great Hunt is all about "playing".
The nightmare tentatively named "Wolf Kiss", which also belongs to the twisted class nightmare... is composed of countless "escape rooms"... or other dangerous rooms.
Absolutely, is this a different-dimensional killing array?
Annan gritted his teeth, shivering in his seat to keep warm, and thinking quickly. His heart, which had been stimulated by the ice water before, was beating rapidly, and he even felt a slight pain in his heart...
He only had three spare lives...and this time he accidentally used half of them.
If used properly, it can survive about six times...provided that the "Wolf Kiss" ritual does not deduct too much health.
…Let’s wait for the next Chamber of Death.
Just once, Annan could not deduce its specific rules and mechanisms for the time being.
