For the first time, he saw a paradoxical loop that could directly block the purifier's nightmare. This also made Annan more wary of the "nightmare" mechanism.
Especially after he analyzed the method of clearing this nightmare, he couldn't help but admire Professor Gray's handiwork.
The nightmare he designed was really too elaborate.
It even hinted at the way to clear the level from the very beginning——
The two parties exchanged three secrets, and the strategies for conquering these three levels were already hinted.
The first is fairness and symmetry - implying that Room 206 is the exit to strive for, and it is also the easiest level.
Only when these two people know each other well enough can they identify each other's true identity in the second level and get enough intelligence... And each person must rely on his own strength to pass the level, so that both of them can reach the third level at the same time.
The third test seems to be the easiest.
——Let the actor who plays "Justus" kill "Frederick" and then commit suicide.
If players are directly allowed to make such a choice, there is no difficulty.
But after they learned the information from the second level, the two purifiers would instinctively wonder, "Would they be stuck in this nightmare if they did this?" So they did not dare to act arbitrarily.
"Frederick" will doubt whether the other party will commit suicide honestly as promised. And "Justus" will worry about whether he will be like the real Justus if he really commits suicide.
, stuck in this nightmare - after all, "Frederick" does not have to bear the consequences no matter what.
If they were strangers and didn't trust each other enough, they would already have a quarrel here.
What made Annan confirm this was something Nefertari said.
She said that "Frederick" died three times. This shows that she has become an "enlightened person"... and successfully stuck herself to death.
The nightmares she experienced were obviously much greater than those of Annan.
And they woke up almost at the same time.
So Annan must have waited for Nefertari for a while after he died in his dream.
You know, usually when you are kicked out of a nightmare, you will wake up immediately.
Why did Annan wait a while?
I'm afraid there is only one answer.
That means he actually still has a chance to be resurrected.
Players who can ignore life and death, and even Husky and Sanxiang who still trust each other are so entangled at this moment.
How can the indigenous people of this world easily entrust their life and death to another person's "promise"?
Only if Annan believes in Nefertari, Shisanxiang believes in Annan, Husky believes in Shisanxiang, and Shisanxiang also believes in Husky... this nightmare can be barely cleared.
The distance between people may be another level of tragedy that Professor Gray wants to show the tragedian.
That is, the tragedy outside the stage.
The reason why Nefertari called this nightmare "phantom fever"... Annan gradually understood.
Frederick has been resurrected.
The protagonist of this nightmare has been Justus from the very beginning.
The so-called phantom heat... was the temperature in Justus' palm that was so hot that it would burn Annan's shoulders.
——That is the blood of friends, the phantom heat remaining on the fingertips.
Annan suddenly recalled the first time he entered this nightmare... the real Justus' reaction.
The moment Annan tentatively said "You still can't forget Ingrid", Justus turned back and looked at Annan.
...that's true.
Although Justus killed Ingrid countless times for Frederick.
But Ingrid is also the person he has a crush on.
That's why Justus was obsessed with the dream of "both Frederic and Ingrid are alive" and denied the reality of "both Frederic and Ingrid are dead". This is how he stepped into the theater of tragedy
first step.
And this also proves...Justus doesn't care about Ingrid.
He only cares about Frederick more relatively speaking.
He endured the pain and killed Ingrid again and again, only to bury himself deeper; when he finally made up his mind to wake up and kill Frederic with his own hands...this nightmare was born.
he died.
"Phantom heat...?"
Annan murmured: "It's such an ironic and almost sad name.
"Presumably the name of this nightmare was also given by Professor Gray. Every time the name 'Phantom Fever' is spoken, it is another mockery of Justus."
If I had to give him a better name...
"...Your Highness Annan. You said that the names of nightmares are just names, right?"
Delicious Wind Goose suddenly said: "Let's call this nightmare Gemini."
...The legend of Gemini?
The friendship between the Son of God and the Son of Man is indeed appropriate.
After hearing this, Annan thought for a moment and nodded silently.
This world does have a starry sky that is the same as the earth. Except for the special effects of the sun, the stars and the moon are no different...it's just that the starry sky is extraordinarily bright.
It's just that the constellations are not the modern eighty-eight, but sixty - there are still some vacancies that have not yet been named. There are also slight differences in the naming of constellations in the two worlds.
For example, there is no Scorpio here, but it is called Raven; there is no Capricorn, but it is called Leviathan.
There are also Geminis in this world. However, the story of the Geminis in this world involves "historical" level of mysterious knowledge. Considering the weight of the mysterious knowledge, Annan did not study it.
Anyway, it's just the name they use.
Justus is miserable enough.
At least Annan and the players are not willing to laugh at this miserable man who was originally just a little greedy to "get both friendship and love", but ended up living or dying in an infinite cycle.
This "unfailing shield" has saved many people.
After being killed by the husky, the screen on Shisanxiang's side turned into a black screen.
But just as they expected... Shisanxiang is obviously dead, and this nightmare will be kicked out once he dies. But he is still asleep.
On the Husky side, the four words "You have decided" began to twist rapidly.
Finally, the whole thing changed.
【I have awakened】.
It said so.
The next moment, the scene in front of Husky's eyes changed.
He appeared in a new place.
"...Changing the past is not a very simple thing."
Gray Professor Seti's voice rang in front of me: "When you go back, remember not to modify any unnecessary changes... Well, okay. It seems I don't need to say any more nonsense."
The old man with gray hair and gray eyes still smelled of alcohol.
He looked at Husky with a smile: "You finally realized it."
Seti was still wearing the purple robe like an ancient Roman sage, and his hands spread naturally to both sides: "It's not easy. I don't know how many times you have cycled through it... Have you decided to leave the nightmare?"
"Then just kill me, I won't resist."
"ha?"
Husky sneered: "Do you still want to lie to me now, old bastard?"
He shook his fist.
Justus' fist was still hot and powerful.
This is a fist thrown to save a friend.
At this moment, Husky's eyes were shining with bright light of wisdom: "Or do you finally have something... that you can't see?"
Seti's complexion changed slightly.
The corner of Husky's mouth rose: "You don't have to trick me. No matter what you say, it can't change my determination - I will commit suicide and let another person leave here. This is the trust between me and him.
"But before that..."
The husky grinned.
He revealed Justus' cold and sharp teeth.
"I said, you shameless old guy. Isn't it fun to watch a show on the sidelines?"
The husky's face showed a wolf-like ferocity: "Before I feel satisfied enough and decide to leave...
