Chapter 199 Annan's Despair

In fact, Annan has vaguely sensed part of the rules of this nightmare.

Thanks to him having the curse of "Endymion who will live and not live".

This curse made it necessary for Annan's left shoulder to come into contact with a light source of sufficient intensity. If it doesn't absorb light, it will gradually become burning.

After the thirteenth hour, every second will feel like being pressed to this place with a red-hot soldering iron. And it's the kind that doesn't lift.

This is not an "illusion" that exists only on the senses.

It's not just punishing phantom pain.

When others touch this curse pattern with their palms, they can definitely feel the heat—the usual heat is probably like a bowl of freshly soaked cup noodles. If the person holding this spell was an ordinary person, the heat alone would be fatal.

But if it maintains the highest level of heat—even if its pain can be blocked or weakened by some means, the remaining heat is enough to destroy Annan's body.

As a warning, it does not suddenly become fatally hot after thirteen hours without absorbing light. Instead, after cutting off the light source for a period of time, the temperature starts to rise slowly, and the temperature rises more obviously at the end, and the first five or six hours have little effect.

Annan tried it before, the red moon outside the window was just a phantom, but the TV could really shine. Although the light is not strong enough, it should be enough to keep the spell from deteriorating.

——However, the premise of this is that Annan took the initiative to come over.

Annan was actually sitting on the bed, far away from the TV,

Not to protect eyesight...

But after watching Isaac's videotape, he had a guess.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Annan planned to activate his own curse on purpose——

But it turned out that Annan stayed here and watched the video tape for a long time... According to the length of the plot, it must have been at least half a month.

But Annan's curse was not triggered at all.

Not only that, Annan was neither sleepy nor hungry. He did not eat or drink, nor did he excrete.

Although it is not impossible for a golden-rank transcendent to temporarily cancel these functions of himself.

But Annan didn't take any action at all... But he found that he was never hungry at all.

——It was as if time was stopped here.

"What is it that I am most afraid of, fearful of, and desperate for...?"

Annan muttered in a low voice, got up and began to search for the remaining clues in the room.

In a drawer, under the bed, inside the pillow, under the mattress...

What surprised Annan was that he could find quite a lot of information.

He found a withered and yellowed paper in a drawer.

There are nine Arabic numerals on it like a computer keypad.

And there are eight red lines running through these numbers to form a three-digit number group.

These lines extend out, and some words that Annan can understand are written on them.

Annan only knew some of them—because these were not written in the foggy continent, but French mixed with part of English. If it was the English part, Annan would have no problem reading it, but he only knew a small part of French.

【Penser】、【La volonté】、【La chair】、【】、【Jugement】……

Following these incomplete runes, Annan searched for correspondences one by one.

"Ingrid corresponds to...【Thinking】? Maybe that's what it means?"

Annan thought about it seriously: "Ophelia's poem corresponds to [Action], and the senior who wrote the Tianche poem corresponds to what I can't understand. And the dim yellow world where Isaac lives should correspond to [Judgment]... ..."

And of those eight words, only one was crossed out.

That is the only missing videotape [357].

But Annan could still see the above words in front of him.

"……mercy?"

Annan murmured, "Am I [mercy]?"

Ingrid was thinking... what was she thinking? What was there to think about in her plan?

Officine's actions—but he has nothing to do?

Or……

Annan immediately changed his thinking direction.

"Isaac is the judge. But in his world, there's nothing to judge—so, does [judgment] mean what he's doing?"

In a world with cognitive filters between each other, everyone is guilty and everyone is innocent.

Without knowing each other, they slaughtered their own kind and greatly reduced the number of their own kind.

In other words, after Isaac figured out a way to disengage his cognitive filter, he would fall into "true despair." At that point, all he can do is "judgment".

For the sake of some lives, deprive others of their lives.

At that time, I'm afraid he will be so miserable that he can't wait to put a cognitive filter on himself.

It is precisely because Isaac is a kind person that he is tortured by this mentality.

...and the same reasoning can be deduced.

When Ingrid fell into "true despair", all he could do was "think".

Because she can't do anything.

She cannot move, nor can she touch anyone other than the "devil king". She was even deprived of sight, and the Demon King would never care what she said, what she wanted - that was the real "I love you but what's none of your business".

Not even as good as it was at the beginning.

At that time, although she couldn't move, she was also deprived of a lot of power.

But she can still match wits with those barbarians. She can also communicate with other people to ease her loneliness - and she is aloof, but her human nature has long since ceased to be strong.

Without the sudden aggression of the "devil king", she is confident that she will be able to regain her own freedom sooner or later.

It was precisely because she was pregnant that that fear brought her back to the realm of "mortals", allowing her to regain her humanity, and began to [think] with considerations of gain and loss.

That is to say, after [Desperation], she can only think - she can't do anything else.

Then use this logic to look at Officias, and it is easy to understand. When he realized that the planet was actually dead and empty. When there are only these robots who don't know art and can't communicate with him... all he can do is [action].

He had to do something, or sooner or later he would be drowned in that endless solitude and silence.

At the beginning, Officias did "act". But it wasn't until he was really desperate that he began to really "act".

And the same goes for Isaac and Ingrid.

In the beginning, Isaac commanded the young soldiers to "fight against the Zerg", which obviously required some "judgment". But until he experienced real despair, he would not understand what the "judgment" and "judgment" he really needed to make was.

"And the one that belongs to me..."

Annan's pupils shrank slightly.

He realized something, and gradually became nervous: "It's just... [Mercy]?

"So, do I have 'compassion' now? If so, what am I pitying? Under what circumstances do I...begin real [compassion]?

"What is real mercy?"
