Chapter 430 Nightmare: A dream in a dream, clear the level!
As Annan's voice fell.
Outside the captain's room where he and the white-haired boy were, the huge, ice-blue pupil finally shined through and stopped moving.
For some reason, Annan had a clear understanding in his heart.
He did not move, but calmly accepted the light.
The icy blue light shone behind Annan, casting a long shadow, which just covered "Denton" who was crouching on the ground.
--as expected.
Annan's "self-examination" gaze did no harm to Annan today.
The damage he suffered in the nightmare began to be made up for.
As Annan's aura gradually became stable, "Denton" opposite Annan gradually curled up, and his aura became weaker and weaker.
All seven fear fragments were collected by Annan.
There is a proverb in this world that a person can only be unlucky seven times in a row at most. Because "seven" is the number of luck and accident - he has only seven chances to attack Annan directly.
After seven times, the "accident" is over.
Now it is Annan's home court.
The self-seeing eye in the sky is a mechanism like a firewall.
Its existence is to find and kill "Denton", the intruder in the realm of consciousness.
And this "Denton" is actually a kind of "Trojan horse" - it is combined with Annan's memory, and naturally part of it belongs to Annan's emotions, and part of it belongs to Annan's will.
He would be judged as a "changed Annan".
Originally, he would not be caught out by the eyes of "self-regard".
When Denton used this method to invade other people's minds before, he never failed.
However, only Annan is different.
——Annan has incomparable confidence and affirmation in his own form and his own soul.
Annan was absolutely sure in his heart that he would never change...or in other words, Annan already knew the direction of his change.
Even if there is just a little impurity in the middle, it will be destroyed immediately by Annan.
...This determination and strictness towards oneself is simply not human.
"you failed."
Annan raised his eyebrows, put his hands in his pockets and looked down at "Denton": "Do you know why it failed?"
"The chef doesn't read the recipe but is interested in the art of war?"
"Denton" responded subconsciously.
"——Oh oh oh, as expected of me!"
However, Annan was not surprised or surprised by this. Instead, he stretched out his hand and applauded him excitedly and happily: "Well done!"
"...Aren't you going to kill me?"
"Denton" raised his head from the shadows and looked at Annan with complicated eyes: "Now you can do it."
"I can."
Annan replied: "But I don't believe you.
"I don't believe that you will die so easily as long as I kill you here - I want to destroy you more cleanly and completely."
With Annan's voice, the world around him trembled again.
The world has changed again.
The captain's cabin gradually collapsed and was flattened. The three-dimensional world gradually turned into a flat surface, and then turned into a high mountain.
That ice-blue pupil became even larger, even penetrating between heaven and earth.
But this time, following Annan into the new world... there was also "Denton" itself.
He had no ability to resist in front of the anti-Vietnam Annan, and was fixed on the beheading table.
The shape of the first platform of this station is exactly the same as what Annan saw from the Pale Princess.
It is the judgment seat that cuts off immortality.
--It's enough to end everything.
"You modify other people's memories without authorization for your own selfish desires."
Annan's voice rumbled in the sky.
"You steal other people's status and identity.
"You bully the weak, play tricks on others, and confuse others' will.
"You live by taking, and you live by stealing... You are a thief of souls, Denton."
"What is this, do you want to judge me?"
"Denton" couldn't help but laugh and said: "But this is the philosophy of our soul-stealing school. I have been taught this way since I was a child.
"It's just 'everyone for one'. 'Individuals are weak and limited, and you can't do anything by yourself. You must be good at using the strength of others to survive in this world and go higher.'
.
“Since the purpose is to take advantage of others, does it matter whether the shell is moral or not?”
That is a sophistry style like Annan.
Use confusing concepts as a sword and explore the essence as a spear.
But Annan himself was not led by him.
Because this itself is the wisdom of Annan.
"Indeed, there is nothing wrong with using the power of others to achieve your own goals. This is also a choice in life."
Unexpectedly, Annan did not deny this matter.
He just replied softly: "It's just that if you are used to stealing for a living and getting used to a life that is within reach, your soul will become lazy, unwilling to make progress, and unwilling to change;
"You think you are the strong one, and playing with the fate and soul of the weak will make you arrogant and no longer cautious in your actions;
"If you don't respect other people's past, your will will become weak and your mind will not be strong enough.
"In every challenge you encountered in the past, you chose the most despicable and simple answer. And this skipping class ultimately sent you to the hell you created with your own hands."
——That is, now, now, here.
"Your failure is inevitable. Even if you don't meet me, you will meet other people. And in the end, you will still fail after all.
"——Because you were originally a loser, that's why you came to me."
exactly.
--fail.
All the fears that Denton instilled in Annan were of various kinds, different scenarios, and different types of [failure].
Ultimately, this is because Denton himself has a strong fear of failure.
Because he himself is a complete loser.
And he was deeply afraid of his own failure, and of Bernardino who defeated him with an unstoppable force... This fear was deeply engraved in the depths of his brain and has not yet been released.
The fear of having your identity discovered.
The fear of losing power.
The fear of indecision.
The fear of being unable to resist.
The fear of self-sacrifice.
The fear of repeated failure.
And, facing the fear of death.
——Ahh.
I see.
Everything is understood.
Denton took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
This is not...Annan's fear.
It was his own fear that turned into a nightmare.
——Because Annan's memory and Denton's memory were confused after he absorbed them all.
Although he wanted to murder Annan and trap his mind...but Denton instinctively created a nightmare transformed from his own fear.
This is why Annan passed some levels so easily.
It's not that his dream control ability is too weak.
It's because the fear of "failure" in his heart has not dissipated.
"Yes, I failed..."
Denton smiled bitterly and slowly lowered the head on the beheading table.
He has been playing with dreams for decades, but his grasp of people's hearts is actually not as thorough as that of Annan, who is not even a soul-stealer.
This is really, really...
At the moment when he was determined to die, the cordless decapitating blade hanging high above his head fell with a roar.
Easily, he cut off Denton's neck.
"—What an irony."
No need to read minds.
Annan calmly continued Denton's last words and said this.
The world in front of him instantly turned into darkness.
