After getting the real main quest.

Annan knew what he should do:

He dragged the table to the middle of the hallway, then put the note back in the letter. He entered the "beheading room" with the candles that had been lit and lit all the candles inside.

Subsequently, Annan directly lit the candle on the table outside.

Originally, he was thinking of going into the beheading room again and cutting off his own head to return to reality.

But there's no need anymore—

After Annan lit the candle on the table...... He felt a trance and returned to the real world.

At this time, the teenager Benjamin seemed to have realized something.

He just sat next to Evelyn in a coma, his head bowed and silent—not knowing what he was thinking, but he wasn't in a good mood.

Should it be said that he deserves to be the future "Master Benjamin"?

The brain is really useful......

"Let's move on."

Seeing that Benjamin didn't seem to want to move forward, Annan spoke softly and took the initiative to reach out and grab Benjamin's hand.

It seems that she doesn't want to break free of Evelyn's hands...... Benjamin froze for a moment, but still stood up with Annan's strength.

"Evelyn ......"

Following Annan silently walked forward for a while, Benjamin opened his mouth with some hesitation and asked in a low voice in more euphemistic words: "Are you ......

“…… Want to leave me? ”

When Annan heard this, his footsteps paused slightly.

Since this is the nightmare of Evelyn in the future...... It shows that in the end, Benjamin agreed to help her with the ceremony.

Well, Annan shouldn't have to say much......

With an attitude of saying too much and making mistakes, Annan just sighed and whispered: "If I leave here with you now, I will leave you......"

This is the truth to tell.

As soon as Annan said this, he couldn't help but feel rare for his line - it was a rare experience that he would tell the truth in a nightmare.

I'm so kind.

In order to have a happy ending for both of you in the future, I will do my best to perform here.

I'm such a kind single dog.

Annan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's Benjamin, a stupid kid, who is forcing someone who loves you the most to improvise......

"Yes, is that so......"

After staring at Annan for a while, he could only read the sincere Benjamin in the eyes of "Evelyn", and muttered in a low voice.

After that, he remained silent. Until I watched Annan walk to the last room and open the door—

Seeing the guillotine without a blade and rotting, he froze in place as if he had lost his soul.

Looking at him as if he had lost his soul, Annan was also a little unbearable.

He added in a low voice, "It's okay, Benjamin.

"The future you...... Will find mine. ”

“…… Yes, is that so? ”

Benjamin's pupils lit slightly.

Annan nodded solemnly.

Yes...... He came back from the future.

Benjamin's ascension to the Pope is apparently an attempt to travel back in time and break Evelyn's cycle.

The timing of his learning of this should have been shortly before he left for the White Tower.

At that time, Benjamin should have gotten the key to the nightmare and learned the truth of that year......

Annan hesitated for a moment, but still replied in a low voice: "Yes, because ...... I'm coming back from the future.

"It's actually a nightmare here."

Immediately, Annan explained the mechanism of this nightmare, and what Benjamin would do in the future.

It's just a nightmare anyway, and it doesn't hurt to tell him.

But looking at this child's desperate expression of despair, Annan was a little unbearable...... He didn't even know how Evelyn had endured it and allowed Benjamin to complete the ceremony.

“…… I want to believe you. ”

After listening to Annan's narration, Benjamin pondered for a long time before slowly nodding his head and saying solemnly: "But it's not because you told me this......

"It's because you're Evelyn."

But I've told you, I'm not the real Evelyn—

Annan just wanted to defend himself, but suddenly understood what he meant.

At this time, Benjamin had not yet entered the world of the transcendent. Nightmares, Loops, Futures...... This kind of thing was too far away for him.

From his point of view, it was entirely possible that Evelyn had made it up to deceive him.

And what Benjamin meant by this was that even if Evelyn had made it up to deceive him, he would be willing to believe such a bizarre thing.

Annan was silent for a moment, the corners of his mouth raised.

A genuine smile was revealed.

He handed the rope to the young Benjamin, and he lay down in front of the decaying guillotine.

The next moment, Annan was in a trance and entered the dream world again.

At this time, he saw another "Evelyn" standing in front of him, and wanted to turn back with some uneasiness.

So Annan immediately stopped her:

"Annan...... Don't move, don't look back! ”

Hearing Annan's words, "Evelyn" immediately stopped her movements and stood in silence.

Annan paused, thoughtful.

It turned out to be during this time period......

He quickly calmed down and continued:

"Get on your stomach and hurry up...... Phew, you don't have to pout your ass. Well, in order for you to be able to trust me, I'll mention a keyword, players and planning. Is that okay? Hurry up and get on your stomach, don't waste time......"

Annan didn't even need to search his memory.

Because he can say such things casually......

Seeing the "Evelyn" of the second week lying obediently in front of the guillotine, Annan looked at the rope connected to the guillotine next to the guillotine with some hesitation.

…… Do you want me to cut it off?

Annan just had such an idea in his heart, and he hadn't done it yet.

Then he saw that the rope had suddenly burned by itself.

- It's Benjamin in the real world!

The guillotine whizzed and fell, severing Evelyn's head, which happened to fall into the white basket of flowers.

But strangely, Evelyn's decapitation didn't bleed much after her decapitation.

Or rather, her blood had been clotted for a long time.

Watch her scarred, hairless, ugly head fall into a basket of flowers...... Annan was in a trance for a while.

…… Evelyn, sure enough, she's been dead for a long time.

Thinking so, Annan suddenly observed that his body, along with Evelyn's skin in the dream, gradually began to become transparent.

The corpse that fell on the guillotine also began to shine, gradually turning into light powder and finally disappearing.

His body absorbs the powder.

The soul seemed to grow stronger, and the transparent feeling dissipated.

The knowledge of countless transcendent beings came to Annan's mind...... It was a gift from the Pale Princess.

Almost all of this knowledge Annan knows...... But for Evelyn, it's a mystery of another world.

At that moment, Annan seemed to have an understanding-

Is this the solution that Evelyn came up with at this time, between life and death?

Store your soul in nightmares......

While Annan was thinking.

Similar to the feeling when using the Frost Sword Technique, the power of the unfamiliar elements flowed through Evelyn's body......

That's what it is...... Is it a power of the Silver Tier?

What are these elements?

Annan's mind moved, and his hand gently brushed the rope, and the rope became complete and bright again. He touched the basket of flowers, and the pure white basket became new; So Annan pulled the guillotine again to the highest point and tied it back in place.

Annan then returned to the ground and picked up the chains at the door.

He finally saw it—

Countless transparent men, women, and children all smiled and applauded themselves, as if they had just made some perfect speech.

Annan looked down at his body, which looked like a substance, and finally saluted them politely.

Then the men dispersed again, returning to their former positions.

Annan moved the stone statue back to its original location and returned to the "prison" in the basement with the chains.

He reached for the lock, and it was healed again.

He closed the door and fastened the chains. Putting his hand in the handcuffs and carefully tightening it – and in the process, Annan inevitably bruised his left wrist...... It was as if he had struggled hard, leaving a few abrasions.

Blood, not clotted and dried blood, poured out of Evelyn's wrists.

[Health: 80%]

An Nan looked at the fresh blood that slowly flowed from his wrist.

Turn dried blood into blood...... Is it also the power of this element?

Restore the ruptured to the whole, and heal the old and regenerate......

Evelyn's power is not a mirror image of time and ...... It's something that is associated with a new student.

…… I see.

Annan was stunned.

Evelyn didn't travel through time from start to finish.

Evelyn in reality has been transformed into a half-dead daughter.

But she was about to die.

Because Evelyn is forcing herself to think that this is the reality-

That's why Annan woke up here in the first place.

Evelyn was nothing more than a Silver Tier transcendent.

Her power is far from being able to reverse the boundary between reality and dreams.

…… But if all this was her dream, it would make sense.

She constructs such a nightmare, and preserves her soul in it, not to die, nor to give it to the Pale Princess; The trade-off is that she has to repeat the never-ending cycle of nightmares.

The only way out is to wait for the future Benjamin to be able to crack the message of the nightmare, cut the curse, and forcibly intercept her soul.

It's a great achievement.

Such an incredible trust.

[Health: 30%]

Annan suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness hit him, and he subconsciously opened his task panel:

[Main Quest: Forming a Cycle (Completed)]

【Witnessing the completion of the sacrificial ceremony (completed)】

【Lighting a candle as a half-dead daughter (completed)】

[Back to the beginning (completed)]

[Health: 5%]

…… I did everything I could anyway.

When Evelyn wakes up again, she forgets all about it.

And this is just a forgotten dream for "Evelyn by the Lake". "Benjamin" from the Nightmare will also be reset.

When she arrives at the lake, she can be seen smiling and chatting...... Until she plunges into the lake, returns to another world, and starts a new cycle.

As for how to save your childhood sweetheart...... It's up to you to take care of yourself, Your Highness.

Thinking of this, Annan fell asleep groggily.

Update complete! Today, you can ask for a ticket for three more! (loudly)
