Chapter 421 Annan's Real Nightmare
This is the real main quest.
After the false dream collapsed, Annan finally entered his real nightmare.
What was presented to him was a world that was on the verge of being broken.
Looking down, it is a bottomless abyss.
And a broken wall like a huge ship is slowly sinking downward.
The direction of gravity is also completely broken. There are even some building fragments that are turned upside down 180 degrees.
"Looks like he's about to get out an outsider to chat with me..."
Annan couldn't help complaining.
He is now near the bottom of the pit. Looking up, there are paintings of different sizes hanging on many broken stone walls of different heights.
But unlike "Nightmare: Gallery", the content on each painting here is very simple.
Either the eyes, the ears, or the mouth.
And the eyes and mouth are still opening and closing at different frequencies.
That should all be characteristic of someone Annan had met.
——Can judge this because Annan saw Salvatore’s iconic tired eyes with dark circles in many portraits.
To be honest, Annan really doesn't see many people who lack sleep to this extent and haven't burped...
Annan looked up. The dark red sky, which should have been the position of the sun, only had a huge, ice-blue eyeball.
If Annan guessed correctly...that was Annan's own pupil.
A beam of ice-blue light scanned the ground in the direction of the eyeball. The ground that was hit by the light formed a thin layer of ice in the blink of an eye, and quickly dissipated after looking away.
"...So this is a parkour game?"
Annan murmured somewhat unexpectedly: "Do you want to avoid this light? If you hit it, you will die instantly or something..."
How to collect these seven fear fragments?
He has now collected three pieces.
Two of them should have been obtained from those two nightmare fragments. The third may be Annan's own fears...
Suddenly, Annan noticed that two paintings in the distance had been burned. There is also a painting with a dagger emitting a rainbow-colored light on it - Annan can clearly see that it is his "other eye".
"……I understand."
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
According to everyone's memory fragments, there will be a sub-nightmare... There should be sixty-three nightmare fragments here.
Then the mechanism of entering the nightmare fragments must be obvious——
- The entrance is these paintings.
The paintings made up of the eyes, ears, and mouths of people they don't know have a high probability of being fragments of will added by Salvatore.
Could it be because the first nightmare I experienced was a gallery, so it also changed my own subconscious...
"--Well."
At this moment, the eyes in the sky glanced over.
Annan didn't take any luck and hid in the bunker closest to him for the first time.
He glanced around, took two steps forward, and leaped.
It was very obvious, the inverted gravity--
Annan jumped halfway and was "sucked" to the left... In other words, he was falling towards the building debris on the left with the wall pointing to Annan.
Just in case, Annan chose to flip his body dexterously like a cat, and landed on the ground lightly in a posture of all fours.
He stood still for a while, relieved his dizziness, and rushed forward again.
After a few jumps, Annan leaned against the wall behind him.
This is to prevent himself from being caught by the eyeball in the sky when he enters the nightmare fragment.
... Now the question is.
Where is the dream stealer Denton hiding?
Is he in some fragment? Then this one is not over...
Or do you have to collect at least seven Dread Shards to find Denton?
But if you don't catch Denton,
Will he mess around with the nightmare content again?
While thinking about it, Annan quietly glanced at the painting in front of him.
If he guessed correctly, there should be an entrance to the Dread Chamber in these paintings...
"It's...Benjamin's eyes? Whose mouth is this...like Kaphne? But here's Kaphne's eyes..."
Ah, it's this—
Finally, Annan noticed a very unfamiliar pupil.
Because Annan had never seen such cold gray pupils. Otherwise he will definitely have the impression...
And the gray eyes in the painting quickly noticed Annan's gaze.
The moment its eyes met Annan.
All the paintings with "mouths" suddenly made sounds at the same time.
Shouting, roaring, crying... from all directions in Annan.
This time, in front of Annan, there was no jitter like a TV with poor signal, but the whole thing went dark.
When the light came on again, Annan had obtained a new body.
——This time it was a young woman with a good figure.
She was wearing a white turtleneck and slippers and appeared to be in her own home.
Annan glanced out the window, suddenly startled, a little lost.
Outside the window is... blue sky and white clouds.
Annan had never seen such a clear, jewel-like sky.
Noah's sky is like all industrial cities... Although you can see the sky, but when you look up, it's always bright gray. This should really be because Noah has too many factories.
And not to mention the cold winter - above the dome, there is only a whistling blizzard.
But here...
Annan couldn't help walking towards the window.
"Ok……"
She wasn't quite used to her new body center of gravity, but fortunately she still had no problem walking.
Looking out from the window, the beautiful scenery made her a little lost.
It was a spectacle very close to the pattern of modern high-rise buildings.
At first glance, the building has at least ten floors, and it exists in a strange pattern of a group on the fourth floor or a group on the second floor. In the middle of each group of high-rise buildings, there are things that look like elevators and glass straws.
Gold and silver vein-like veins protrude from these pipes, winding around adjacent buildings, emitting an indefinite light. Perhaps because of the color matching, not only does it not feel disgusting, but it has a sacred feeling under the sun.
Annan also saw two huge statues - at least twenty stories high. It seems to be about a hundred meters or so...
One is a heroic knight riding a red horse, wearing red armor and wearing a red helmet. He held a huge, extremely exaggerated six-bladed spear in his backhand, looking like he was about to smash the tip of the spear into someone in front of him at any time. That weapon is like a combination of a spear and a mace, and it is extremely deadly whether it is piercing or slashing.
The other one was a barefooted child with white hair and white robes and long hair. From the back, it is not clear whether the male or female is clearly visible. His hands are spread forward, palms up, and he bows his head slightly as if he is saying something.
——Annan knew at a glance that it was the Red Knight and Mr. Yao.
Is this a church country?
Is this... the Church?
