Chapter 196 The Abyss of Light and Darkness

Seeing this, Annan's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

He didn't know if he was thinking too much.

But the choice between "mortal" and "madman" really reminded Annan of himself.

He used to be a mortal, living a mediocre life.

Until one day, Annan gave up everything about himself-and embarked on a long journey that even he himself didn't know the purpose, let alone the end point, and became a "madman".

...This original version of the plot is even more like a prophecy than the book "Praise the Name of the Skycart".

On the contrary, in the book "Praise the Name of Tianche", some of the prophecies were diluted due to the inclusion of some "private goods".

However, the details of this world are consistent with Annan's initial guess.

It was indeed a "pure white" world.

- Clean, pure, spotless.

The pure white sculptures, the pure white city walls, and even the people's clothing are all white. That is, the cloudless blue sky can be slightly more variegated...but it is also because of the "cloudless" brilliant sunlight that all "white" can reflect bright brilliance.

In that dungeon world, it is set like this - they don't force everyone to walk on the "path that suits them best".

But every time someone chooses to go against one's "best choice" and choose one's own path, it is necessary to change into a motley dress or decoration.

And this "fanatic" completely abandoned the white clothes from the beginning, and changed into a purple and gray gown intertwined with each other.

What this madman did was similar to what was described in that book. It's just that the dialogue is not so philosophical, and there is not so much information.

The madman didn't "say goodbye to his parents", but left without saying goodbye.

He was not chasing the sky cart, but just looking for a way to break the situation - he traveled to various places, visited saints, met sages, and used various methods to try to complete his ascension.

But in the end, he found that he had no talent.

All plans had failed - he would never leave this nightmare.

The unyielding flame in the heart of this "madman" was extinguished by this despair.

——Until halfway back the way he came, he met an idiot.

The idiot asked the fanatic a question.

This question made the madman stop on this island and think for a long time:

"I said, what on earth are you living for?

"Why do you open your eyes and look at me, what do your ears want to hear? Your hands and legs are growing on you, and what does it want to do—where does it want to go?"

After a long time of thinking, the fanatic gave a clear and rational answer.

It was this answer that saved his personality from despair.

He put it this way:

"I sing only for my own ears, I only listen to the songs that make me happy. My tongue speaks powerful words only for myself. My hands doodle and labor only for myself, and my feet are like wild horses , running in the wild with my own will.

"But only my eyes—my eyes don't belong to me. What I see in my eyes doesn't belong to my own world."

——The tape ended here, and it came to an abrupt end.

Annan didn't know what happened next, whether he really returned to his hometown like the protagonist in the book, and fell in love with his childhood sweetheart. This part is not revealed.

But Annan can be sure of one thing—at least in this nightmare, this madman is not seeking the sky cart, let alone trying to ascend to the Light Realm.

The parts related to the crane are actually a kind of decoration.

According to Annan's timing, he watched the tape for at least four days. But he didn't feel hungry the whole time.

"...Since the records of the former predecessors can be preserved, the only missing videotape [357] should be my room in 'Crimson'."

Annan thought: "The question now is, how do I interfere with other people's nightmares?

"Being locked in this room, I can't get out at all. Or do I have to wait for them to come out by themselves?"

——But if that's the case, how will their "extremely desperate" nightmare end?

Annan did remember.

All "Dream Eggs" can only be cleared once. If the "Madman" senior finally cleared the customs successfully before leaving, then they would not be able to enter now.

In other words, there should at least be a safe exit in this alien-level nightmare. This is probably the "emergency exit" mastered by Ingrid.

but……

Annan pursed his lips.

Although I haven't seen the final ending of "Madman".

But he has always had a bad feeling.

This feeling originally came from Zhi Ji—not long ago, in the portrait that Zhi Ji drew for Annan, Annan was in contact with the "worm" for a moment.

Since then, Annan has had an impact on the worm.

Titled "Echoes of the Beginning: The Crane and the Worm".

——This should be the unique echo produced at the moment Annan came into contact with the worm. The sky train here should refer to Annan himself.

Based on the interference of this influence, if Annan cannot remove or preserve this influence in time, he will fall into an alien-level nightmare with the keyword "worm" at the moment the influence disappears.

That was an alien-level nightmare!

What Annan is worried about is that his current nightmare... Will it be deformed by the existence of this influence?

It's not impossible...

After all, this nightmare itself is related to the Crane, and the Crane and the Worm are mortal enemies-and Annan just happens to have the influence of "Crane and the Worm".

And Annan has not yet completed the sublimation ceremony.

His strength is definitely weaker than that of a worm.

It's not out of the realm of possibility that this nightmare could be completely reversed from Crane's side to Worm's.

...Then, the technique used by that senior back then may not be used by Annan.

Thinking of this, Annan put the last video tape, which is the one code-named [123], into it.

——Just as Annan expected.

This last tape is exactly where Ingrid is!

It was a long, dark night with no light at all.

There is no sun or moon, but some dark golden outlines can be vaguely seen - huge black gears of different sizes rotating densely in the sky, covering the entire sky.

And when these gears collide with each other, huge sparks will burst out, lighting up a little bit of the night sky for a short time. These tiny rays of light are already the only light in this world.

As for Ingrid...

She was worse than Annan thought.

Her limbs had been sawed off at the beginning, and she was lying flat in a pitch-black coffin. Because of the loss of the curse bearer, she was also unable to use her extraordinary power of the golden rank. It seemed as if it had fallen into a dead end from the very beginning.

But soon, Annan realized...

Ingrid's status here... seems quite noble?

Her eyes were sealed with strips of cloth, her limbs were cut off, and she was enshrined in this mysterious coffin by foolish primitive people, praying to her for wisdom—the wisdom of survival.

——In this world without light and fire, she is the god of these people.

A goddess born in darkness.
