The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 109: The secret of misplacement

——Very weird.

Annan's keen intuition made him feel that everything in front of him revealed a strange and inexplicable sense of disharmony.

Citizens who disappeared without warning.

Together with all the items they carried, they disappeared from the world in front of them at the same moment.

Is this the distorted part of nightmares?

"Is it like this outside?"

Annan asked Justice quietly.

Although there was no one around, he still subconsciously lowered his voice in this strange silent atmosphere.

The strong man nodded seriously.

"I just took a look outside. At least there is no one on the street... nor in the store next door."

Justus pointed to the second floor: "I went to room 201 to check, and no one responded when I knocked on the door.

"What do you think, Freyr?"

Justus obviously didn't know much about this and was a little nervous.

He lowered his head and looked at Annan, seriously asking Annan for his opinion: "Why don't we... break down the door and go in to take a look?"

"What about you?"

Annan asked: "What do you think?"

"I now wonder...whether this will be a [nightmare]?"

Justus frowned slightly.

As a mercenary in an underground city, he has seen quite a few big scenes.

When he encountered this weird situation without any clue, his first reaction was, "Could this be a distorted nightmare world?"

"We'd better confirm each other's identities first, Freyr."

Justus looked at Annan and slowly said: "You should still remember the three secrets we exchanged back then."

...Was that thing originally used here?

Annan suddenly understood.

But he soon became worried again.

It is impossible for him to learn Justice's three secrets.

And the one controlling Justus' body now is not Nefertari who entered the nightmare with him.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

Since Nefertari, as a mortal, does not have the ability to stay awake in dreams. Then Justus can be regarded as the historical Justus... From him, a lot of information can be found, which is obviously helpful for clearing the dungeon.

——But at the same time, it also means that this turns a "character controllable by teammates" into an uncontrollable NPC.

If you can't answer this question... I'm afraid your life will be spent playing ball.

When Justus patted his shoulder before, Annan felt a flash of explosive pain.

If Annan guessed correctly... it should have been Justus' strength that cracked his shoulder blade, and then he immediately transferred the injury back to himself.

——Even Justus didn’t have to use any supernatural power on himself.

Frederick's body is too fragile.

He has no level of melee profession at all, and I am afraid he has not practiced yet, and his physical condition is really poor... At this distance, Annan suspected that Justus could perform a performance by simply giving him a slap in the face. He died on the spot with a propeller flying head.

But faced with this dead situation, Annan didn't panic at all.

There was no hesitation or fear in his pupils, he just replied calmly: "Of course I remember...how do we get here?"

"One person tells one thing, telling his own secret in the first round, and telling the other party's secret in the second round to prevent fraud. Then leave another round just in case. If they are right, then explain This is not a nightmare...or you and I are not the ones entering the nightmare."

Justus said slowly: "Who comes first?"

"You first."

Annan replied calmly.

——He suddenly realized why the characteristics of this nightmare were the same "reenactment" as "Nightmare: Gallery".

The replay characteristic will cause all internal memories to be lost after death in a nightmare. It was as if I had really had a dream... The big dream woke up, leaving only a very thin impression.

If its special nature is not "re-enactment", then the person who enters this nightmare can repeatedly play at this node for several rounds to dig out all the secrets of Justus or Frederick.

On the other hand...

Since there is such a point, perhaps it can also be understood in reverse - there will actually be no death here?

——Because nightmares must have an ending and can definitely be purified. Just like in Mario Maker, no matter how difficult the level is, you have to clear it once before it can be uploaded.

There is no such thing as a nightmare that cannot be purified, because that means that the world in the nightmare will never end - that is to say, it will become a "file" with an infinite size. This itself is a bug.

Even if it is an evil nightmare like the Sporadic Mill whose purpose is to kill the Purifiers, there is still a correct path after all.

The real evil of Sporadic Mill is its deceptive difficulty.

It's not that it's extremely difficult to clear the level...but that it's a nightmare that's on the upper side of the distortion level. It's externally marked as a difficult level, and the death penalty is extremely severe. This will directly lead to a lack of intelligence for those who want to conquer this nightmare.

It sets the maximum number of clearances to "1" out of concern that "someone may purify this nightmare." Therefore, the real secret is hidden, and it will be automatically destroyed once the level is cleared. It's like a safe that self-destructs if opened once.

If the sporulation mill can really be unsolvable, then there is no need for the spider to specially set up this "nightmare with only one drop of blood".

——Since you are ready to run away, it means you are not 100% confident.

At present, with Frederick's physique... it is absolutely impossible for him to outrun Justus. The only chance to escape would have been to follow Frederick when he left the house.

But it may also be hanging.

And once the chase begins, it will be too difficult to escape from a gold-level transcendent in a deserted city.

You know... Although Frederick looks like a mighty MT now.

But when he was at the Bronze level, Justus' profession was a Rogue.

So, this should be the inevitable point of the plot. A conversation that cannot be escaped...

...Where is my life?

"First, I have an extremely strong desire to kill."

Justus said slowly.

Annan raised his eyebrows.

...The guardian known as the "Unfallen Shield" is actually a natural killer?

This is indeed... some secrets beyond Annan's expectation.

But how should I respond?

Looking into Justice's eyes, Annan slowly said: "[I can gain strength by killing enemies]."

——This is the secret that Annan exchanged with Nefertari from the outside before entering the nightmare.

Definitely not Frederick's secret.

But the strange thing is that facing this secret...Justus didn't feel any sense of violation.

"Second," Justice said slowly, "you, Frederick... and Ingrid are underground lovers."

——Ingrid.

This is the second time Annan has heard this name.

This should be a girl's name.

In the CG just now, Justus accidentally mentioned this name when he was bragging about his power. But Frederick quickly interrupted.

Look at this...

Is this girl dead?

The three of them used to be in the seventh shift? A love triangle between two **** friends and a little girl...and then the girl suddenly burps?

Annan was thinking rapidly ~IndoMTL.com~ but his expression showed no signs of abnormality.

"Second, your teacher, 'Bone Healer' Seti, lost the power of elements after repairing the holy bones."

Annan slowly spoke about the second secret that Nefertari gave him.

But strangely enough, it still met Justus' requirements.

Justus seemed to have not heard what Annan said. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze on Annan suddenly relaxed.

"Now at least we can rule out the possibility that one of us is the purifier of nightmares... We are still ourselves."

——Nonsense, because both of us are purifiers of nightmares. But you have **** amnesia.

Annan said silently in his heart.

But there was only an expression of approval on his face: "But there is still the possibility of 'this is a nightmare world'.

"But to be on the safe side, I recommend not treating it as a nightmare... to avoid unnecessary injuries."

"Don't worry, Freyr."

Justus disagreed: "With me, you won't get hurt.

"Let's go find out - who is the conspiracy behind all this."

After he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated.

Go straight outside.

Annan stared at his back and followed him silently.

——It’s not an illusion.

He confirmed in his heart.

Although Justus hid it well, at that moment, the anger in his heart suddenly rose - as if he was angered by something.

But I clearly didn’t say anything wrong.

Did he say something?

...Could it be that you are thinking of Ingrid?

Speak less and make fewer mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes.

Annan didn't say a word, just pulled down the hood behind him, covering half of his face.

Just play it by ear.
