Chapter Sixty-Eight: Inside the Cobweb, Only Spiders Can Be Unharmed
Let me take a look...... I guess I'm right. ”
Annan said slowly.
Since this dungeon only has one chance to clear the level.
Then Annan's original plan, to burn down the mill before entering, could not be done.
It's easy to get NE that way.
But if you want to solve the puzzle, you can't just go with the flow.
And in the opposite way.
Annan had already learned from Nefertari about the tragic fate of the miller Ian's family.
- Because of the conspiracy of the Black Widow believer "Dward", the curse poison put into the mushroom. In order to save themselves, or because of the conflicts of the past, the lumberjacks pointed the finger at the "Ian family", the only one who was not poisoned, hoping to get the "antidote" grinded by the other party's liver.
In the end, they murder the Ian family, whose corpse is turned into a poisonous spore that engulfs the mushroom mill, engulfing them all, and giving birth to a nightmare: the Spore Mill.
And things will come to this...... The reason for everything is only because the messenger Grover is a step too late. He brought a message from Master Seti, but it was too late.
- A development that seems reasonable.
But if you look at these three things side by side, you can immediately perceive the problem:
Since the Courier had already gone to Master Setti, why didn't Dward flee immediately?
Master Seti is the most powerful idol wizard of the Underground Federation, a true gold-level wizard - and an "old wizard", an elderly ritual master.
Why did Dward dare to stay here? Does he think his plot will be able to fool Master Setti?
Or rather...... Did Dward assume in advance that Master Seti would not return with the Courier? Or does he know when the messenger will return?
And.
"Grover the Messenger ......"
Annan asked, "Did you really go to Master Seti?" ”
"Of course I-"
Grover made an emotional voice, stepped forward, and said excitedly, "Three days! Wait three more days, and Master Seti will be here! ”
"Is there any point in waiting for him to come?"
In the face of this pompous performance, Annan just calmly asked rhetorically.
All of the infected, the lumberjacks, have died in the Spore Mill. The poison no longer spreads, but is confined to the house...... Does this really require Master Seti to "detoxify"?
And, if the lumberjacks suspected that someone had deliberately poisoned someone, why didn't they suspect that Black Widow believers were in the crowd?
Or rather...... Do they really have no suspicions? No one ever doubted it?
Thinking about it at this point, it is already very close to the truth.
Hearing this, Grover was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Annan, was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
“…… Looks like I succeeded in the end. ”
He said cryptically.
It is tantamount to admitting one's own guilt.
Clearly, Grover had recognized it - it was a nightmare.
"But how did you guess that?"
Grover asked with interest, "How many times have you tried?" ”
Annan did not answer the second question.
He just replied calmly: "It's very simple, since the parties are all dead......
Then "the lumberjacks suspected that someone had poisoned" and "they went to ask for an explanation".
Who came out of it?
Or rather......
- Is Deward really dead? How can they be sure that Dward is dead? Is it a ritual to determine that the person "Dward" has passed away?
So, how do you prove that the believers of Black Widow are this departed "Dward"?
Excluding all impossible answers, all that remains is the correct solution – not to mention, there is no second answer in front of Annan at all.
Since the only survivor on the scene is the "messenger" Grover.
Then this contradictory and bizarre narrative can only be from Grover!
Now that we know that Grover must have a problem, let's assume that he is behind it and push it back...... Everything becomes clear.
If Dward and Grover were originally co-conspirators.
Then everything has an answer -
Why did Dward—let's assume that the person sending the message was called "Dward"—spread the news that the messenger had fled?
- because they don't want these people to wait quietly for Master Setti.
Why was Dward so arrogant knowing that Master Seti might come at any time?
- for he knew that either the Messenger had not been looked for at all, or Master Seti would not arrive in time.
Why didn't the lumberjacks wonder if this was the hand of the Black Widow? If Dward, the lumberjack, and the miller's family all died in the Spore Mill, with no dead bodies......
Who is the character controlled by the player, "Job"?
The answer is simple.
Just as the little bear suggests.
The first name she asked, "Who are you?"
This is a hint at, "Why is there such a character as 'Job'?"
And the second question is, "Give the name of a dead person - the name of the bystander, the name of the evildoer, the name of the messenger who is long overdue." ”
There is still only one answer to this question.
He is a "bystander", a "doer", and a "messenger who is long overdue."
All along, they tell the same person.
So.
Why did Job get lost in the forest and never enter the mill...... But didn't become "one of the survivors"?
"Because 'Job' has been killed by Grover."
Annan replied slowly: "Even if the person is dead, it can be seen that the amount of meat is wrong.
Job ended up dying in the Spore Mill. Otherwise, people will notice...... There was one more person.
And if you think about it from this point, you can see it.
"It's full of fairytale-style puzzles, a 'gentle' mechanic that only increases erosion by 1% at a time, and a deliberate 'logout point'...... And so many save points.
"It's clear that this is the subconscious mind of the subject of the nightmare, in order to 'stop Job from entering the Spore Mill.'"
Annan said slowly.
With his narration.
Behind him, the earth began to tremble and the forest began to peel away.
There is no need to "enter the fairy tale world" at all.
That's just the subject of the nightmare, a hint to the purifier.
In general, nightmares are wounds given to the world by dead transcendents. The will of nightmares will lure purifiers into traps...... Nightmares and purifiers are hostile to each other.
But there's a catch.
If......
This nightmare subject doesn't want to murder others?
The middle level is just to dissuade you from retreating.
Why does it come to me if I go with a messenger and fail?
This is the biggest hint that the four dark carvings should have noticed a long time ago.
"It's time to make up for it when you go back."
In addition to this, there are many hints:
The candy house is "two people";
"Fairy tales" are fake;
The guide does not have no facial features......
These questions are repeatedly asking questions to purifiers, reminding them that:
"Who is it that leads the way?"
But it's a pity.
For so many years, no one could understand this desperate, silent cry for help.
For he who directs the way—
“…… It's a spider. ”
Annan sighed: "I also hope I guessed wrong, but unfortunately ...... I guessed right.
"Then that's going to be a problem."
Behind him, the forest crumbled and the earth turned to dust.
With the exception of a small location where Annan stood, the world around him had been reduced to a cobweb.
It looks like a sweet and delicious cake.
Annan looked back.
Huge spiders stared at him.
- Ah, yes.
"I also ignored a hint......"
Annan muttered.
Inside the Cobweb...... Naturally, only spiders can be safe and sound.
