After the false dream collapsed, Annan finally entered his real nightmare.
What appeared before him was a world on the verge of being broken.
Looking down, there is a bottomless abyss.
And a broken wall like a huge ship was slowly sinking downwards.
The direction of gravity is also completely broken. Some building fragments are even turned upside down at 180 degrees.
"It looks like an outsider is about to come out and chat with me..."
Annan couldn't help but complain.
He was now near the bottom of the pit. Looking up, he saw paintings of different sizes hanging on many fractured stone walls of different heights.
But unlike "Nightmare: Gallery", the content on each painting here is very simple.
Either eyes, ears, or mouth.
And the eyes and mouth are still opening and closing at different frequencies.
Those should be the characteristics of someone Annan has met.
——I can tell this because Annan saw Salvatore’s iconic tired eyes with dark circles in many portraits.
To be honest, Annan doesn't see many people who are sleep deprived to this extent and still haven't burped...
Annan looked up and saw that in the dim crimson sky, where the sun should have been, there was only a huge, ice-blue eyeball.
If Annan guessed correctly... those were Annan's own pupils.
A beam of ice-blue light swept across the ground in the direction of the eyeballs. The ground hit by the light was covered with a thin layer of ice in the blink of an eye, and quickly dissipated after looking away.
"...So this is a parkour game?"
Annan murmured in surprise: "Do you want to avoid this light? If you shine it, you will die or something..."
How to collect these seven fear fragments?
He has now collected three pieces.
Two of them should be obtained from those two nightmare fragments. The third piece may be Annan's own fear...
Suddenly, Annan noticed that two paintings in the distance had been burned. There was also a painting with a dagger emitting iridescent light nailed to it - Annan could see clearly that it was his "other eye".
"……I understand."
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
If each person's memory fragments produce a sub-nightmare... there should be sixty-three nightmare fragments here.
Then the mechanism of entering the nightmare fragment must be obvious——
——The entrance is these paintings.
The paintings composed of the eyes, ears, and mouths of people you don't know have a high probability of being fragments of will added by Salvatore.
Could it be because the first nightmare I experienced was a gallery, so it also changed my own subconscious...
"--Well."
At this moment, the eyes in the sky glanced over.
Annan did not take any chances and immediately hid in the bunker closest to him.
He glanced around, took two steps forward, and jumped up.
That's very obvious, the inverted gravity -
Annan was halfway through the jump when he was "sucked" to the left...or in other words, he was falling towards the building debris on the left, with the wall pointing towards Annan.
Just in case, Annan chose to turn over his body as dexterously as a cat, landing on all fours and landing lightly on the ground.
He paused for a moment, relieved his dizziness, and then rushed forward again.
After jumping several times, Annan leaned against the wall behind him.
This is to prevent himself from being illuminated by the eyeball in the sky when he enters the nightmare fragment.
...The question now is.
Where is Denton the Dream Stealer hiding?
Could it be that he is in some fragment? Then the search will be endless...
Or do you have to collect at least seven fear fragments before you can go find Denton?
But if Denton is not caught, will he randomly change the contents of the nightmare again?
Annan was thinking while quietly scanning the paintings in front of him.
If he guessed correctly, there should be an entrance to the chamber of fear in these paintings...
"Are these...Benjamin's eyes? Whose mouth is this...It seems to be Kaifuni? But there are also Kaifuni's eyes here..."
Ah, it’s this——
Finally, Annan noticed a very unfamiliar pupil.
Because Annan has never seen such cold gray pupils. Otherwise, he would definitely have an impression...
And the gray eyes in the painting quickly noticed Annan's gaze.
The moment its eyes met Annan's.
All the paintings with "mouths" on them suddenly made sounds at the same time.
Screams, roars, and cries...were heard from all directions in Annan.
This time, in front of Annan, there was no jitter like a TV with poor signal, but the whole thing dimmed.
When the light came on again, Annan had received a new body.
——This time it was a young woman with a good figure.
She was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and slippers and seemed to be at home.
Annan glanced out the window, suddenly startled, a little lost.
Outside the window is...blue sky and white clouds.
Annan had never seen such a clear, jewel-like sky.
The sky in Noah is like that of all industrial cities... Although you can also see the sky, what you see when you look up is always bright gray. This should really be because there are too many factories in Noah
.
Not to mention the dead of winter - above the dome, there was only a howling blizzard.
But here...
Annan couldn't help but walk towards the window.
"Um……"
She was a little uncomfortable adapting to the new body center of gravity, but fortunately she still had no problem walking.
Looking out from the window, she was a little distracted by the beautiful scenery.
It is a spectacle that is very close to the model of modern high-rise buildings.
At a glance, the building has at least ten floors, arranged in a strange pattern of groups of four floors or groups of two floors. In the middle of each group of tall buildings, there is something that looks like an elevator or a glass elevator.
Something like a colored straw.
Gold and silver veins like blood vessels protruded from these pipes, winding around the nearby buildings, emitting an uncertain light. Perhaps because of the color matching, not only did there not be a nauseating feeling, but under the sunlight,
There is a sacred feeling.
Annan also saw two huge statues of gods - at least twenty stories high. It seemed to be about a hundred meters...
One is a heroic knight riding a red horse, wearing red armor and a red helmet. He is holding a huge, extremely exaggerated six-edged spear in his backhand, and looks like he is about to smash the tip of the spear into his face at any time.
The same as someone. The weapon is like a combination of a spear and a mace, and it is extremely deadly whether it is piercing or slashing.
The other one is a barefoot child with white hair, white skin, white robes, and long hair. From the back, it is not clear whether he is a man or a woman. He spreads his hands forward, palms upward, and lowers his head slightly as if he is saying something.
——Annan knew at a glance that these were the Red Knight and Mr. Yao.
