Chapter 236 The White Guillotine
This may be a recurring nightmare that will make ordinary people horrified.
But for Annan, it aroused his interest instead——
When I just came out of the "prison" before, the "Huh" I heard was from the current self.
But how did this nightmare know that he would just come here at this time?
Is this really a time loop dream?
If it is said that this is a nightmare caused by the influence of the person in the mirror... but it is obviously just the nightmare of the pale princess?
The pale princess has no abilities related to time and mirror images at all...
Or...the direction of the "distortion" of this nightmare is time and mirror images?
Because I have been in touch with the future Benjamin...or because I have a mirror presented by the person in the mirror?
Many possibilities appeared in Annan's mind at the same time.
But it also made him no longer fearful.
If this candle is lit by the future self—
Annan ran quickly to the end of the corridor.
His footsteps paused slightly.
In front of him was still the same long corridor as before, which required running with all his strength for more than ten seconds to reach the end.
And this time in the middle of the corridor was a table with a letter and a pile of white candles of the same thickness and height. The only candle that was lit, it seemed that it had just been lit not long ago, and only a quarter of it had been burned.
Seeing this, Annan was a little disappointed.
In Annan's view, if this is indeed an infinite loop of dolls, the future self will definitely hold a candle here, wait for him to come over, and then form a team to play.
After all, only Annan himself knows himself best...
……Ok?
Annan frowned slightly.
wrong.
He chose to run this way before, looking for the "third Evelyn", just because he was worried that he would not be able to convince the "first Evelyn" and "I am you" without communication.
It's entirely possible that he's turned into a monster that looks like Evelyn - or even take a step back, before the first Evelyn, or the first Annan, saw what Evelyn looked like in the lake... saw a face full of scars , She leaned over without saying a word, and she might really kill her as a monster.
Annan has such confidence in himself.
Therefore, he will choose to find the third self.
If the third self exists, he should know that the second self can already believe that "this is a nesting doll book".
So the second self is different from the first self, he is trustworthy.
So why didn't he show up here?
Is it because it's unnecessary, or... can't?
Annan frowned tightly, walked to the table, and opened the envelope.
There are a few short sentences on the envelope. Based on these fluent cursive characters, Annan can be sure that this is not what he wrote:
"Pursue unconditional love,
"Imprisoned in the shell of life,
"Wandering dancers who follow beauty and freedom—
"Pale already knows your purpose,
"Through this door,
"Dedicate the remnant soul to paleness."
The words in the envelope are now over.
...This is, "successfully completed the sacrificial ceremony"?
Annan was a little stunned.
There is too much information in this letter.
Wandering dancers, remnants...
Could it be that Evelyn is actually dead?
So what's the situation with Evelyn in reality...?
Annan also suddenly realized another very important thing:
This is...whose nightmare?
This copy is on Hard difficulty.
That is to say, his master should be an extraordinary person of the silver rank...
Obviously, Evelyn wasn't.
At least the current Evelynn is not... She hasn't even reached the apprenticeship road, and in terms of attributes, she doesn't even have level 1.
However, Annan's pause and thinking here is not without value.
He clearly saw that the candle had moved down about an eighth of its height.
- This candle burns so fast, it's so unnatural.
This was Annan's first thought.
His second thought also emerged:
He only paused here for half a minute, and the candle burned out an eighth of it.
——Understood, it should take four minutes for all the candles to burn out.
That is to say, the other "Annan of a certain week" has just left here for only a minute and a half!
...but why is he hiding from himself?
Without a second thought, Annan took the candle from the candle holder and fixed it on the table.
Holding a sharp candlestick as a weapon, he rushed to the end of the corridor—
Then he opened the door.
But the moment he opened the door, Annan was stunned.
At the end of this basement, in a room at the end of an unnaturally winding road...
But there are densely packed, seventy or eighty white candles with the same height and thickness - each candle burns at a different height.
And in the center of the room surrounded by candles, it was lit up like the middle of the day.
- but a guillotine.
And it is also a gorgeous guillotine built on a cake-like altar.
It has a pure white wooden exterior, engraved with white runes and inlaid with gems of various colors. And the inclined guillotine that was dragged to the highest point by the rope was crystal-colored... On both sides of the guillotine, there were white veils like wedding dresses.
In front of the guillotine, there is a white lace basket. It looks like a flower... but Annan knows that this should be used to dress up the head.
From a distance, you may think that this is a giraffe bride in a wedding dress.
Annan searched the room carefully, but did not find any exit. And there was no blood on the guillotine, and no head in the basket.
- But this is clearly a dead end.
There is also nothing in the room to investigate.
Just when Annan was standing in front of the guillotine, pondering whether he should try to turn his head...
Suddenly there was a somewhat unfamiliar, yet somewhat familiar low voice behind him:
"—Annan, don't move, don't look back!"
That's Evelyn's voice!
Or rather, it is your own voice!
Annan knows all too well - but where the fuck did you come from?
But because the other party had already spoken, Annan could only stand there silently.
what happened?
Could it be that the task of the future self is to kill the present self?
And the "self" behind him continued to make demands:
"Get down on your own, hurry up...Bah, you don't have to slap your ass. Well, in order for you to trust me, I will mention a key word, players and planning. Can you? Get down on your back, don't waste time..."
waste time?
Annan pondered, first obeying the voice of the man behind him, and lying on the guillotine. He stared at the white flower basket in front of him in a trance.
...You're not going to let me cut the rope myself, are you?
Just then, Annan heard the incomparably clear sound of the rope being cut.
Then came the sound of the guillotine suddenly falling—
"Ouch..."
Annan heard Benjamin's screams of pain.
The next moment, Annan suddenly opened his eyes.
Only then did he notice that he and Benjamin had both collapsed under the stairs—the lamp had fallen to the side. And I was soaked all over before, and now my hands and clothes are covered with dust... All the dust has turned into mud, and I feel extremely uncomfortable.
Annan thought so, and reached out to help Benjamin up.
He subconsciously didn't touch Benjamin with his muddy hands.
But at this time, Benjamin grabbed Evelyn's hand and staggered up from the ground.
"Oh...this..."
He whispered a few words of pain, and then gently persuaded: "It's okay, nothing is broken..."
...Listen to what you mean, my foot slipped and dragged you down?
Annan quickly recognized the meaning of the young Benjamin.
Otherwise, he would definitely complain about how the land was so slippery—he didn't dare to complain, but comforted Evelyn as soon as possible, probably because the pot belonged to Evelyn.
Did I lose control of my body when I was just confused?
Annan subconsciously opened the task panel.
Sure enough, the task changed again:
[Main quest: Back to the dream]
[Get Benjamin's trust]
【Successfully completed the sacrifice ceremony】
【Do not go home】
Annan grinned subconsciously, not because of the pain in his body, but because of the pain in his eggs - although he may not have this function for the time being.
...really nesting dolls?
How did this nightmare end?
