Chapter Twenty-Three: Nightmare: The Wizard Kills
Man-made nightmares?
From the window of the delicious wind goose, Annan saw something that interested him.
The only person he knew of who could create nightmares was Benjamin.
And mastering the knowledge of nightmares was Benjamin's goal in the first place - his original wish was to save Evelyn from the nightmare of an infinite loop. Therefore, he has been studying nightmares since he was a wizard.
Benjamin undoubtedly has a very solid foundation in nightmares.
He was even proficient in the four schools of soul snatching, transformation, shaping, and idol at the same time, and for this reason he opposed all the other schools in exchange for specialization.
And the four schools he mastered were the only four schools that could be connected to nightmares.
So, it is not surprising that Benjamin was able to artificially create nightmares.
But what did Ike Burning Tooth do to create nightmares?
He doesn't have the skills to do it, not even a wizard......
“…… It's kind of interesting. ”
Annan pondered for a long time.
He took Doreen to find a nearby hotel, opened a room, and booked lunch in advance, and began to prepare for the nightmare of watching the delicious wind goose.
Depending on the player's detachment, each squad will have at least one player who is good at tackling nightmares. Prevent them from getting stuck in the event of a nightmare – it's not a problem to call for outside help all the time.
Nata County is still quite important because it involves the high-value specialty of "Demon Blood". In order to ensure that the teleportation point in Nata County can be opened, the main purpose of Delicious Wind Goose, as the main player of "Nightmare: Gallery", is to fight nightmares.
This is also the reason why the delicious wind goose, as the strongest combat force, cannot keep vigil and must enter the nightmare.
If the purpose is to clear nightmares and organize information, the delicious wind goose is even more useful than the priesthood.
As a priest of Silver Sizz, the monster teacher can only be regarded as above average in the level of decryption. It can be said that it is quite the level of NPC decryption...... It will definitely not be his turn to open up the wasteland, and after researching at least one route to clear the customs, it would be better to let him come in and test the outcome of other routes with his life.
At present, among all players, the most efficient way to clear nightmares is actually the two professional puzzle solvers specially recruited in the second phase, Four Dark Carving and Longjing Tea, and it is the delicious wind goose again.
Although the size of the Delicious Wind Goose may seem quite intimidating, he is a serious card game streamer after all. When it comes to brains, they are obviously smarter than the stray children, Jiu'er and Lin Yiyi.
Seeing that the delicious wind goose wants to fight the nightmare, and the long-lost in-game live broadcast has been opened, players in other places who are free have also clicked on the live broadcast room of the old goose with great interest, and almost all of them have chosen the full substitution mode - this is the new content that has been updated recently, and you can observe the nightmare from the first perspective in the case of detailed senses.
"-First!"
"——Front row, front row, come and see the live broadcast of the old goose."
"-You guys came so fast, don't you have to go to work?"
"-Obviously, those who can watch the live broadcast don't have to go to work."
"-I heard that Lao Goose started a live broadcast, so I just went online. The best thing about this game is that I don't have to miss anything because I sleep......"
After the delicious wind goose gradually came to his senses, he woke up to find that a large number of barrages flew in front of him - the players were chatting so well that even his task list was blocked.
I turned off the barrage system indifferently and calmly for the first time.
…… Let you stare at it, why did you run this version one by one to chat?
After the barrage was closed by him, the delicious wind goose finally saw the nightmare prompt in front of him:
【This quest is difficult】
[This quest does not provide an introduction to the story, and there is no decryption reward]
[Quest Loading Completed]
…… No decryption rewards?
The delicious wind goose was slightly stunned.
He looked around and quickly realized where he was.
He was in a very cramped room, sitting on a very heavy metal chair.
Judging by the roughness and dullness of the skin on his hands, "himself" now appears to be a middle-aged man in his forties. And it's not a nobleman, a wizard...... Most of them are farmers or fishermen, and most likely they are not transcendent.
The environment around the delicious wind goose is very dim. There is only one very high window in the room...... It looks like it's in a private room in a prison.
And he himself was chained to a chair with both hands and feet, unable to move.
In front of him was an extremely complex, but not very large bronze machine. The machine was about the size of an induction cooker, and in the center was a round tray with a thick, long, white candle painted with scales.
And on its side near the delicious wind goose, thirteen long-handled keys stretched out.
The keys look a bit like the white keys of a piano. On one side are the numbers "1" to "12", and on the other side is a simple, almost circular rune. There is also a separate button on the far left that says "Spell".
Then the light came, and the Delicious Wind Goose could see a large [3] painted on the left side of the wall in front of him with blood-like red paint.
On the right side is a piece of paper with the word "Stalker" written on it.
…… What is it?
It doesn't look like an escape room...... And isn't this a nightmare to fight together? What about my teammates?
Could it be a werewolf killing?
When Delicious Wind Goose thought of this, a light curtain suddenly flashed in front of him:
[Main Quest: Win the Game]
Immediately after that, there are three additional conditions:
[At least one member of the team survives to the end]
[Team-wide victory conditions cannot be conflicted]
[Don't let the "Idol Wizard" win]
Don't wait for the delicious wind goose to finish.
A somewhat familiar voice came from beside him—
It's the voice of "Ike Burning Teeth"!
"Guys, it's our game time again!"
His voice sounded like it was coming from a loudspeaker, overlapping through the room, creating a small echo.
"Identities have been randomly assigned, so without further ado—this time there are 'newcomers' involved in the game. As is the old rule, here I will explain the specific rules of 'Ritual: War of Unification' for newcomers! ”
…… Ike himself came in?
Is that why he invited the four of them into the nightmare?
Delicious Wind Goose's face tightened, and his attention was focused again.
Soon, under Ike's explanation, Delicious Wind Goose understood the rules of this so-called "game".
It's not complicated:
It is a knock-out game in which twelve people participate in the ritual.
All of the twelve were incapable of casting spells, and they were all imprisoned in these twelve rooms.
But under the rules, eight of them can imitate the wizards of the eight schools, with a special skill of their own, in order to "imitate the witch's spell-casting behavior".
The other four are swordsmen, stalkers, hunters, and priests - the unfairness is that only wizards have skills. The remaining four belong to the "civilian" camp.
The ceremony lasted for four days and three nights.
The rules are roughly as follows:
