The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 140: Nightmare: Gemini, clear the level!
Annan was filled with emotions.
For the first time, he saw a nightmare that could form a paradoxical loop and directly block the Purifier. 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 is really too elaborate.
It even hints at the way to clear the level from the very beginning——
The two sides exchanged three secrets, and the strategies for conquering these three levels were already hinted.
The first is fairness and symmetry - it implies that Room 206 is the exit to fight for, and it is also the simplest 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 their 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.
——Have 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, "Whether doing this will get them stuck in this nightmare." So they dare not act at will.
"Frederick" will doubt whether the other party will commit suicide honestly as promised. And "Justus" will worry that if he really commits suicide, he will be stuck in this nightmare like the real Justus - after all, "Frederick" will not have to bear the responsibility no matter what. consequences.
If they were strangers and didn't trust each other enough, they would already have a fight here.
What made Annan sure about this was what Nefertari said.
"Frederick" died three times, she said. This shows that she has become an "enlightened person"... and successfully blocked herself.
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, when you are kicked out of a nightmare, you will wake up immediately.
Why did Annan wait for 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 heat"... Annan gradually understood.
Frederick has been resurrected.
The protagonist of this nightmare has been Justus from the very beginning.
The so-called phantom heat... is the temperature in Justus' palm that is so hot that it will 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 right.
Although Justus killed Ingrid countless times for Frederick.
But Ingrid is also the person he has a crush on.
That's why Justus is obsessed with the dream that "Frederick and Ingrid are both alive" and denies the reality that "Frederick and Ingrid are both dead." This was his first step into the theater of tragedy.
And this also proves that...Justus does not care about Ingrid.
Relatively speaking, he cares more about Frederick.
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 killed Frederick with his own hands...this nightmare was born.
He is dead.
"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 Heat' is spoken, it is another mockery of Justus."
If you want to give him a better name...
"...Your Highness Annan. You said that the names of nightmares are just names, right."
The delicious wind goose suddenly said: "We might as well 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 indeed have a starry sky that is the same as the one on Earth. Except for the special effects of the sun, there is no difference between the stars and the moon...it's just that the starry sky is extraordinarily bright.
It's just that there are not the modern eighty-eight constellations, but sixty - and there are still some gaps that have not yet been named. The naming of constellations in these two worlds is also slightly different.
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 Gemini in this world involves "historical" level of mysterious knowledge. Considering the weight of 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 loop.
This "unbreakable 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 it dies. But he was still asleep.
On the Husky side, the four words "You have decided" began to twist rapidly.
Finally, the whole thing changed.
【I have awakened】.
So it said.
The next moment, the scene in front of Husky changed. ~IndoMTL.com~ He shows up in new places.
"...Changing the past is not a very simple matter."
The voice of Gray Professor Seti 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 is still wearing the purple robe like an ancient Roman sage, with his hands naturally spread to both sides: "It's really not easy. I don't know how many times you have cycled through it...have you decided to leave the nightmare?
"Then kill me, I won't resist."
"Huh?"
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 corners 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 revealed a wolf-like ferocious light: "Before I had enough fun and decided to leave...
"——I'm going to give you a good beating!"
