The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 137: The truth about everything
You mean...the real Frederick realized that he was in a nightmare? Then he told you the information? ”
Shisanxiang, who had just woken up, listened to Husky's narration and gradually understood through the barrage's supplements.
So he immediately looked at the husky with a strange look.
"Okay, Brother Ha."
——You bitch, are you so popular?
How come even if I'm not here, I can still jump out in time to raise you alone... It's as if the whole world is preventing Huskies from being self-reliant.
Could this be the legendary dog who was loved by the world...?
"Yes, but I don't understand it at all. Do you have any clue?"
Husky said calmly.
As he spoke, he handed over a mutton chop.
"Give me some water to drink first. My mouth is so dry."
Shi Sanxiang complained, but still took the lamb chops.
He leaned on the bed and thought for a while, then said slowly: "There are a few things that can be confirmed at the moment.
"First of all, 'Professor Wolf' has been Professor Gray from the very beginning. According to outside reports, it was Frederick who became Professor Wolf. But considering your main mission, there is no need to save Frederick. One step... I can assume that Frederick Melvin is dead too."
"Frederick is dead too?"
Husky was shocked: "You mean...our three brothers are all dead?"
"...Three?"
Shi Sanxiang was stunned for a moment, unable to realize where the three came from.
But he soon realized something.
...Oh, it's Ingrid.
So he nodded: "You are right.
"I think what happened was this - Professor Gray set up a scheme. He showed Justus that if Ingrid had not been killed, then she might have jeopardized Frederick's safety. And let him believe this possibility.
"That's why he asked Justus to 'travel through time and space' and go back to the past, kill Ingrid, and 'change' the past... Do you notice the problem?"
"That is to say..."
The husky held it with a solemn expression.
Shi Sanxiang twitched the corner of her mouth and reminded: "Don't forget, Ingrid died in the 'historical ending'."
Before entering the nightmare, they had already learned that "Ingrid" and "Justus" were indeed dead.
Ingrid was a rare victim of the earthquake that year; while Justus was stabbed more than ten times and was judged to have committed suicide.
"——So, what kind of 'destiny' did Justus change?"
Things were developing in the direction he hoped.
In other words, this is how history is.
There is nothing he can change.
"The fundamental problem is that this is the third level of dreams."
Shisanxiang replied.
"...That's why there are three levels of nightmares."
At the same time, Annan outside the nightmare also explained this to the delicious wind goose beside him.
Annan sighed slowly.
With a deep sigh, complex emotions visible to the naked eye were slowly pushed out of Annan's lungs like gray smoke.
Almost at the moment when Shisanxiang and the others entered the shallowest nightmare.
Annan has completely understood this nightmare.
"The mechanism behind it is not difficult to understand. It is even simpler than the Gallery Nightmare."
So much so that I could understand it after just thinking about it for a while.
Of course, it may be that you are able to see clearly just because you are on the outside.
Annan glanced at the delicious goose who was still a little confused, and said simply: "If you are confused about this, then this is a good thing... because you care too much about what the 'truth' is, that's why you do this And confused."
"...I don't quite understand yet."
Delicious Wind Goose paused, then lowered his head and spoke directly.
He doesn't like pretending to understand when he doesn't understand.
The main body of this nightmare always revolves around those three people.
"This is a matter of [understanding]."
Annan - or in other words, "Ghirlandaio" tapped his temple with the **** of his right hand, making a hard sound: "What you lack is understanding. Thinking beyond logic... beyond Thinking of what you see."
The key to unlocking this nightmare was actually placed in the nightmare.
In other words.
"Excuse me, let me put the most important part first for the end. Just like putting the rich main course at the end of the soup.
"Let me start from the beginning——"
Annan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile.
In the nightmare, Shisanxiang also said similar words to him:
"After knowing the true identity of Professor Wolf, we will naturally have a doubt - then who is Frederick who has been deprived of his surname?"
"Is it Professor Gray?"
Husky sat obediently by the bed and couldn't help but ask: "Did he kill three people and steal Frederick's identity?"
"That's right...and that's not right either."
Shisanxiang sighed, with a somewhat complicated expression: "It should be said that 'Frederick Wolf Heart' is an identity of Professor Gray.
"We know that Ingrid has been dead for a long time. And Justus has also been dead for some time, and the autopsy result was 'suicide'.
"There's a classic narrative trick here..."
He looked at Husky and said slowly: "We initially thought that Justus was killed by Frederick because 'Frederick' became a believer in the tragedy writer and gained Power, and the last person Justus saw was Frederick.
"But then we also got intelligence - the relationship between Justus and Frederick was not that bad. And Frederick may have been killed.
"From this point on, we must decisively abandon the preconceived judgment that 'Justus was murdered by Frederick and then disguised as a suicide.' Because our new information has already been compared with the old speculation. The basis of the conflict."
Why was the Silver-level idol wizard at that time able to murder the Unfallen Shield, which had a higher level of defense and vitality than itself?
Why after so many years, no one discovered that the murderer of Unfallen Shield was Frederick?
The answer is too simple.
It is just because of prejudice and preconception ~IndoMTL.com~ that Nefertari, Annan and the players ignored this possibility.
——It was really not Frederick who killed Justus.
Does Professor Gray really have the ability to let Justus travel through time and space and go back to the past to save Frederick?
Obviously, he doesn't. If the man in the mirror had done it himself, and paired with the mirror he had set up in the past, he might have been able to do it.
But Professor Gray is bound to be unable to do this.
That is to say, actually from that time on...even before that, Justus had already been in a dream.
He [saw] that Frederick was killed
——The so-called [Dream Eater].
Of course, what he swallows is not just [dreams].
"To put it simply."
Annan crossed his fingers, and the middle-aged man with black hair and eyes made a steady and reliable voice: "Frederick Melvin and Justus did not die at the same time.
"Frederick Melvin died... even before Justus.
"What Justus saw, the possibility of 'if Ingrid had not died', the future he wanted to change——
"Actually, it has always been in Frederick's nightmare."
Yes.
"——The order of death is reversed."
Shi Sanxiang said simply.
Not "Frederick followed Justus to the Cinder Barrens."
Justus' real purpose in going to the Cinder Barrens... was to collect the body of his only friend, Frederick Melvin, under the entrustment of Professor Gray.
This is the second nightmare of "saving Ingrid" that they have just escaped from.
And the creator of this nightmare...
It is "Professor Gray".
In other words, "Dream Eater" Triscino Seti.
