Chapter 421: Annan's True Nightmare
This is the real main quest.
After the false dream collapsed, Annan finally entered his real nightmare.
In front of him was a world on the verge of shattering.
Looking down, there is a bottomless abyss.
A ruined wall like a huge ship is slowly sinking downward.
The direction of gravity is also completely broken. There are even fragments of buildings that appear to be turned upside down 180 degrees.
"It looks like you're going to get an outsider out and talk to me......"
Annan couldn't help but complain.
He is now near the bottom of the pit. Looking up, there are many broken stone walls of different heights and heights, and there are paintings of different sizes.
But unlike Nightmare: Gallery, the content on each painting here is very simple.
It's the eyes, the ears, or the mouth.
And the eyes and mouth are still opening and closing at different frequencies.
Those should all be the characteristics of someone Annan has seen.
- This can be judged because Annan saw Salvatore's trademark 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 at the dark crimson sky, which was supposed to be the position of the sun, but there was only a huge, ice-blue eyeball.
If Annan didn't guess wrong...... That was Annan's own pupil.
An icy blue light scanned the ground in the direction of the eyeball. The ground that was illuminated by the light formed a thin layer of ice in the blink of an eye, and quickly dissipated as soon as the gaze was removed.
“…… So it's a parkour game? ”
Annan muttered with some surprise, "Do you want to avoid this light?" If you shine on it, you'll die or what......"
How should these seven shards of fear be collected?
He has now collected three pieces.
Two of them were probably obtained from those two Nightmare Shards. The third piece may be Annan's own fears......
Suddenly, Annan noticed that two paintings had been burned in the distance. There was also a painting nailed to it with a dagger that glowed with a rainbow light, and Annan could see it clearly, it was his "other eye".
“…… I get it. ”
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
If you follow everyone's memory fragments, there will be a sub-nightmare...... Sixty-three Nightmare Shards should be present here.
Then the mechanism for entering the Nightmare Fragment must be obvious -
- The entrance is these paintings.
There is a high probability that the paintings, which are composed of the eyes, ears, and mouths of people I don't know, are fragments of will added by Salvatore.
Could it be because the first nightmare I experienced was the gallery, so it also changed my own subconscious......
"-Hmm."
At this moment, the eyes in the sky scanned.
Annan did not take any chances, and hid in the nearest bunker for the first time.
He glanced around, took two steps forward, and leaped.
That's very obvious, the inverted gravity -
Halfway through the leap, Annan was "sucked" to the left side...... Or rather, he was falling towards the fragments of the building on the left with the wall pointing to Annan.
Just in case, Annan chose to flip his body with cat-like dexterity, landing on all fours and falling lightly to the ground.
He froze a little, relieved of his dizziness, and rushed forward again.
After a few jumps, Annan leaned against the wall behind him.
This is to prevent yourself from being illuminated by the heavenly eyeballs when you enter the nightmare fragment.
…… Now the question is.
Where exactly is Denton the Dream Stealer hiding?
Could it be that he is in some fragment? That's not the end of finding this......
Or do you have to collect at least seven shards of fear to find Denton?
But if he doesn't catch Denton, will he change the nightmare content again?
Annan pondered as he quietly glanced at the painting in front of him.
If he's not mistaken, there should be an entrance to the Dreadchamber in these paintings......
"It's ...... Benjamin's eyes? Whose mouth is this...... Looks like Kaphne? But there's also Kaphne's eyes here......"
Ah, it's this-
Finally, Annan noticed a very unfamiliar pupil.
Because Annan had never seen such cold gray pupils. Otherwise he would definitely have an impression......
And the gray eyes in the painting quickly detected Annan's gaze.
The moment its gaze met Annan.
All the paintings with "mouths" painted suddenly made sounds at the same time.
Screams, roars, cries...... It came from all directions in Annam.
This time, in front of Annan, there was no shaking like a TV with a bad signal, but the whole thing was dimmed.
By the time the light came back on, Annan had already received a new body.
- This time it's 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, and was suddenly stunned and a little distracted.
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...... You can see the sky, but when you look up, it's always a bright gray. This should really be because Noah has too many factories.
And not to mention the bitter winter - above the dome, there is only a howling blizzard.
But here's ......
Annan couldn't help but walk towards the window.
"Hmmm......"
She wasn't comfortable with her new center of gravity, but she was able to walk.
Looking out the window, the beautiful scenery made her a little distracted.
It was a sight to behold very close to the model of modern high-rises.
At first glance, the building has at least ten floors, and exists in a bizarre pattern of four floors or two floors. In the middle of each group of tall buildings, there are glass-colored straws that look like elevators.
The pipes protruded golden and silver, vein-like veins that wound around the adjacent buildings, emitting an uncertain glow. Perhaps because of the color scheme, not only does it not feel disgusting, but it has a sacred feeling under the sun.
Annan also saw two huge idols of the gods – at least twenty stories high. It looks like it's about 100 meters......
One is a heroic knight on a red horse, wearing red armor and a red helmet. He held a large, exaggerated, six-edged spear in his backhand, as if he was about to smash the tip of the spear into someone in front of him at any moment. The weapon was like a combination of a spear and a mace, and it would be extremely deadly to pierce or slash.
The other is a barefoot child with white hair, white skin and white robes, and long hair. From the back, he could not see the man or woman, his hands were spread forward, palms up, and he bowed his head slightly as if to say something.
- Annan knew at a glance that this was the Red Knight and Mr. Yao.
Is this the Church Country?
That's what it is...... Ecclesiastical state?
