Annan whispered: "I gradually understood everything..."
That is a very important, very important question.
——First of all, it is impossible to enter a second nightmare in a nightmare. Because the nightmare itself is a projection created by the soul in the dream world. Although it is extremely real, it can even be regarded as another direction of history... but it will not affect
to reality.
And projection naturally cannot produce the projection of projection.
In other words... in a nightmare, you cannot enter a new nightmare.
This is also the main way to distinguish nightmares from reality.
The reason why Annan has many nightmare fragments appearing intermittently in this nightmare is because this is the special mechanism of this nightmare itself.
But this is a question of "Special Properties: Dreams".
It has nothing to do with the "distortion" that occurs.
Since it has been distorted, it means that a certain part of this nightmare has been quietly replaced, resulting in some random changes that cannot be reproduced.
Annan even searched for a long time to find out where the "aberration" of this nightmare occurred.
He cares about this matter very much.
The distortion of the previous "Great Hunt" should be due to Kafni herself, following Annan into that nightmare. Therefore, it underwent "unrepeatable" changes.
That is to say, the Kafni in that nightmare is not the Kafni of that year, but the Kafni played by the Kafni of the future.
If Annan enters that nightmare again, I'm afraid many of Kafni's responses will be different.
Therefore, it is very important to detect the location of distortion.
But just for a moment...
Annan only belatedly realized where the distortion of this nightmare... had occurred.
——Because this nightmare is a completely unsolvable dead end.
"Hehe...hahaha..."
Annan suddenly couldn't help laughing.
That's real joy.
That is the satisfaction of completing the decryption.
——It is definitely not the emotion that can arise before knowing that one's happiness is about to be swallowed up by a frost beast.
Smelling the fresh "joy" and "satisfaction", the frost beasts became uneasy and scratched the edge of the cage. There were many noises in the originally quiet basement.
The old man's movement to release the frost beast suddenly stopped.
He turned around in confusion and looked at Annan silently.
He didn't speak, but he had already asked Annan silently.
Annan just waved his hand and stopped smiling.
"Teacher," she asked respectfully, "how can we become extraordinary?"
"You must survive the wolf kiss ceremony first."
"No, what I mean is...if an ordinary person wants to become an extraordinary person, then what is the last thing he does?"
Annan asked.
The old man was silent for a while and replied: "After accumulating enough strength, you enter a nightmare.
"For example, you, who can walk through a blizzard, and Solonik, who has undergone special training. You two have already reached this standard.
"So you need to survive the nightmare once at this time - use the pure curse power obtained from the nightmare to corrode and perforate your soul. Through the 'holes' created by the curse, you can continuously obtain the power of the curse from the outside world.
...Only those who can recover the lost power of the curse over time can be called extraordinary."
"——That is to say."
Annan chuckled and interrupted the old man's words.
He slowly straightened up and said in a calm and calm tone: "If I want to become a transcendent, I must pass a nightmare, right?"
"right."
"But it's impossible."
Annan said calmly.
The voice belonging to Annan overlapped with the voice belonging to Bella, and sounded underground:
"——Because this place is my nightmare."
The next moment, the entire nightmare began to shake. But the amplitude was not large, like a very mild earthquake...
Both the old man, who was as silent as an iceberg, and Solonik, who had his head lowered, became motionless, like dolls.
Soon, the ceiling collapsed piece by piece, smashing open the cage that bound the frost beast.
However, the frost beasts did not take the opportunity to attack Annan. Instead, they whimpered and hid in the cage and huddled in the corner. A handful of them ran out of the cage and tried to escape outside.
——But there is just nothingness outside.
Therefore, Annan will never be able to achieve the main mission of "becoming a transcendent".
Why was Annan able to master all the abilities of a werewolf immediately after entering this world? Just like he had the power of a detective when he became a detective in Nightmare Fragments?
You know, when he entered "Nightmare: White Tower", he didn't have any of the original owner's deception and mind-reading abilities; when he entered "Nightmare: Gallery", he didn't have the artistic talent of a painter, he even
I can't understand those paintings.
There is only one real answer.
Because at its root…
This place is not what Annan entered at all, it is truly his nightmare.
——This world is false.
"Why did you let me be Bella instead of myself? Because even you can't understand myself."
Annan sneered: "Why did you let me see Denton's fear of death? What are you hinting at me? Mr. Detective's nightmare fragments, what do you want to tell me? Are you warning me not to have excess rationality? Implanted from the subconscious
, do you want me to act according to my body’s instinct?
"——But who gave me the instinct of my body?"
A nightmare that can never complete the main mission.
A side quest in itself requires entering a nightmare of nightmares.
And...a nightmare in which a dialogue with "self" occurs.
"What are you trying to tell me? What are you trying to mislead me about?"
Annan's voice gradually lost the voice of the werewolf Bella and returned to his clear and transparent voice.
The face and skin on his body that belonged to Bella were also beginning to disintegrate piece by piece.
All that was left on his face was the face that belonged to "Bella".
Annan picked it up and threw it into the air.
Bella's last piece of skin gradually turned into ashes in the air.
He stared at the disintegrating nightmare, staring into the void.
——Kafni is the "related factor" that caused the distortion of "The Great Hunt".
So, what are the detected "related elements" that distort his nightmare?
There is only one answer.
Annan looked at the empty sky and calmly issued his final inquiry:
"And you trapped me here...what do you want to do?
"—Dream Stealer, Mr. Denton?"
At the moment when nothingness disappeared, a few lines of words that had been covered for a long time appeared in front of Annan's eyes.
That is his real main mission——
[Main mission: Wake up]
Immediately, a large number of small words appeared under this line of words again:
[Escape from the rewritten nightmare (completed)]
[Collect at least seven fear fragments (3/7)]
[Find and kill the remaining consciousness of Dream Stealer Denton]
