Seeing the barrage sent by Annan, the delicious wind goose was stunned for a moment.

Then he quickly reacted -

Yes, it is indeed necessary.

"This friend is very smart, and he is not bound by habitual thinking. Half of my wit. ”

The old goose casually praised: "I didn't read the letter just now, I subconsciously thought that it was the same as the content of the previous child god." But it's a new environment, and we really need to reconfirm it......"

With that, he opened the envelope.

Inside the envelope is still a fragment of Elry's diary.

While preparing the backplate as usual, the delicious wind goose was aware.

The diary's mention that "Amos's painting hangs on the wall and looks like a corpse outside the window" is actually a psychological suggestion.

After reading the letter, the wandering child looked back at the corpses in the hall and realized that "it was the painting that became the corpse". It is precisely because of the foreshadowing of this letter that the sense of fear becomes more profound because it is "expected" - or rather, it can react immediately.

This is a technique that is used in many horror games and horror movies.

The producer will mix some fragmented information with the main information to the audience, and use curiosity, fear and other ways to mobilize the user's attention.

For example, the audience of "suddenly seeing blood" will get nervous; And "people who see the back or hang their heads" will subconsciously want to know the front; When you see "a bunch of people around", you want to know what's inside; When you find a "closed cupboard" and enter an "enclosed space", you will want to know what is inside.

There is a simple application of this principle.

In the early years, there were some scary old pictures that were popular on the Internet. Roughly speaking, it's similar to a long, long suspension bridge, but when you pull it to the end, you will suddenly see a grimace.

This is because when turning down, it arouses the curiosity of the subconscious. That's why people can realize the horror the moment they see the grimace, rather than being stunned to react – the latter will undoubtedly dilute the fear considerably.

The same is true for the return kill after reaching the end and the door opening kill after entering a new unfamiliar space. It is precisely because of the full mobilization of curiosity that people can be exposed to those terrifying things in the state of the strongest learning ability and the most sensitive to things.

Only those who read this letter can clearly realize the fear of the painting turning into a corpse; It is also possible to "there is someone outside the window" that appears in my mind for the first time when the shadow changes, instead of thinking that I am dazzled or wrong.

Then the question arises.

The letter is on the fourth level, and it is said to be useless.

It may have been used to take the key to the diary in the cupboard...... It's like in the second layer, the knife is the key used to take the tomato.

If the tomato represents food and blood, the knife represents cutting and death. So the diary and the fragments of the diary must also indicate something......

- No, that's not all.

If you get the knife in the second layer, but don't enter the nightmare on the second floor...... But what happens if you go straight to the third layer?

On the third floor, he has a weapon in his hand. Then maybe it won't be so disadvantageous to Brother Sledgehammer.

If you're lucky, you might be able to use this to repel him once......

The delicious wind goose's brain spun rapidly, and he muttered in his mouth:

"Yes...... That's it......

"If you get the clothes on the first floor, you get the knife on the second floor. Then you can put a knife in your clothes. If you don't hesitate and go straight forward after taking the diary just now, you can let Brother Sledgehammer appear directly behind you.

"-At this time, the distance between him and Amos can be completely injured by a knife!"

The delicious wind goose suddenly brightened.

Annan also realized what he meant-

“…… I see, I totally understand. ”

Annan muttered in a low voice, "The reason why there are no nightmares on the first floor is because there is nothing in the display case on the first floor.

"There's a piece of clothing on the coat rack that suggests 'there's a way beyond the nightmare'. That is, the existence of a negative layer.

"In the display case on the second floor is a tomato, and the key is a knife. When a tomato is cut with a knife, a large amount of blood will come out...... This implies that the homeless people were lured in because of the food. Probably what happened to them...... It's just juiced. The tongue in the tomatoes may be a deliberate attempt by Amos to trick them into falling for it.

"So...... Those black shadows crushed under the chandelier may be those homeless people. ”

Annan thought of the blood and black flesh that littered the basement during the live broadcast.

That's definitely not the weight of one person or two.

But what if all the homeless people who were tricked by him were killed and thrown into the basement to bleed...... That's about the same amount.

Annan's fingers tapped lightly on his thighs, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter:

The key words on the third level are diaries and fragments of diaries. The diary undoubtedly alludes to the 'study' as a key point of information pointed out in Elle's diary, and the fragment alludes to the ritual of the 'Skeleton Male'. The act of the fragment being torn off a page from the diary...... Undoubtedly, it also foreshadowed the end of Elle's 'eyes' and 'hair' being taken away after the ceremony. ”

The core mechanic of this quest is nothing else......

That's the showcase!

What's in the display cabinet is what is the key word that represents the nightmare of this floor!

And what was supposed to be in the display case?

Draw!!

Think again, the illusion that the wine fell into in the second layer......

That's why those small copies will be displayed as "Gallery: XXX"?

Because they are actually in the illusion created by Amos's work......

- No, that's not right.

The players play as Amos.

So this is supposed to be Amos entering into a hallucination of his own making......

Annan suddenly realized that he, the players, and the priests of the Silver Lord had overlooked an important point.

They seem to be subconsciously ...... The horror elements that can be seen everywhere in this copy of the gallery are linked to the Sledgehammer brother who chased Amos.

But what if......

Those terrifying traps are not in the same league as Brother Sledgehammer?

If this floor by floor is a never-ending gallery...... In fact, it was Amos's own means of escape?

It's not impossible.

On the second floor, the wine had already been shown to Annan. Amos has free control over the space within this building...... He can easily create complex, twisted, and messy architectural structures.

It's just that I can't confirm the location of other people.

Well, Annan suddenly had an idea in his head.

Brother Sledgehammer chased after him when he was on the second floor, and suddenly disappeared...... When chasing on the third floor, you can't chase into the gate.

This may be because of this complex, horror gallery.

In fact, he is helping Amos escape!
