In the past, Annan dared to decisively abandon his memory for something and a certain purpose.

Annan can believe that this resolute and complete renunciation is indeed an act that he can do......

But Annan could never give up everything at will because of some trivial things.

For Annan, the memory of the details is a great treasure in itself.

Because he does have such a talent for penetrating people's hearts.

So the other way around...... And what is there that An Nanning is willing to give up all this to pursue?

No doubt.

It is the intense and fiery positive feelings that have never been frozen by the Heart of Winter.

Now Annan understands thoroughly.

- Annan's original possession, pure asceticism.

- A fearless heart brought about by the reversed Heart of Winter.

- Unstoppable, repeating failures.

The ascetic heart that has not yet been frozen by the heart of winter, when faced with the torture of failure, can only have enthusiasm and perseverance; And the reversed Heart of Winter can burn out Annan's burnout, despair, and fear in the face of failure; The never-ending and infinitely repeated failures prevented Annan from seeking a second answer, after all, it is a fool's move to do the same thing but desire different results.

Under the entanglement of these three, the painful torture turns into an absurd pleasure.

The greater the suffering, the greater the happiness.

- This is a level that only Annan can pass.

This is not an exam that can reach the end by persevering, but a seal that will linger eternally at the bottom without any key.

If Annan didn't have that asceticism, he would only think about how many times he would have to repeat it before he could be saved by Salvatore; If Annan hadn't had the reversed Heart of Winter, he would have committed suicide in despair in endless defeats; If Annan had not faced such a desperate situation, he would have used his brains to find another solution.

Denton never imagined that the trap he had designed would turn into the best whetstone.

This is an experience that can rewrite personality - Annan before and now is definitely not alone before this nightmare.

"I have to thank you for that. Denton. ”

Even if the previous memories are as vague as a dream.

Annan will never forget his ecstasy of climbing up in the abyss.

"I never felt ...... I'm in such good shape. ”

Annan felt the joy and excitement in his heart.

His soul is so bright.

He felt it clearly...... There is something brilliant in the depths of the soul that awakens.

Annan was also extremely convinced.

Denton's murder of himself in the dream world is now meaningless.

"Come again, Denton!"

He laughed, and the light in his eyes was so bright: "I want to see what else you can bring me!" ”

"—it will be as you wish."

Finally, a dull voice sounded in front of Annan.

Sitting in front of the portrait on the other side, a young child who moves exactly the same as Annan.

That's a mirror image of Annan.

Same ice-blue pupils, same clothes.

But Annan's hair is black, while the other side is white.

And the most important difference - Annan's pupils are as bright as stars under the night sky.

And the pupils of the other party are a deep ice lake as calm as water and emotionless.

Although the two sides have never met...... But Annan was immediately convinced that the other party was none other than Denton the Dream Stealer.

In other words, it is Denton's will, the imaginary image of the soul reconstructed with the help of Annan's memory.

He can't be said to be a complete Denton.

Rather, it is a new combination that combines all the memories of Denton and Annan.

- But memory is not something that gets stronger with more.

It is precisely because of Annan's willingness to abandon his memories and start all over again.

"You're trying to take my body?"

The corners of Annan's mouth rose, and a big, bright smile suddenly appeared: "Interesting, you dare to appear in front of me?" ”

Although it is a hearty smile, it unexpectedly makes people feel cold from the heart.

In the face of Annan's questioning, "Denton" was silent for a moment.

"I did greatly underestimate you."

"Denton" said slowly, "According to my original calculations, this pure fear will not be able to trap you...... It should at least make you despair. You're a hedonist, a wayward madman,

"You're stronger than you remember."

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

The smile on Annan's face did not fade for half a minute: "Every minute, every second, I am stronger than the last moment.

"I'm not old yet, and progress is a matter of course. You were who I was a few hours ago, and I'm different now. ”

"Is this the power of the Book of Skywheels? The Way of Rise and Change ......"

Denton muttered.

"—Wrong, Denton."

The smile on Annan's face gradually retracted.

He said seriously: "This is my strength. It is the result of my will.

"It was the old me who chose to abandon all the feelings and memories that had frosted - now I don't have any weaknesses in my heart.

"It's like when I add 'Denton', my purity decreases."

"Purity—does it work?"

"Denton" asked calmly.

Faced with the expected rhetorical question of "Denton", Annan laughed heartily: "It is worthy of you!" It's me! This level of grafting...... That's great!

"Give me my last nightmare."

Annan looked at "Danton" and said calmly: "Otherwise, I will kill you now." ”

"It's been ready for you for a long time."

"It can't be something you've played with, right?"

"Of course not, and it's very simple and quite brief."

"Denton" closed his eyes.

The painting near him disappeared again, turning into the pupils of some old man.

Annan looked at the painting without fear.

The frenzy that had just awakened in his heart was like a flame, urging him to take risks.

The closer you get to death, the more you experience failure...... The more the power in his heart surged.

The next moment.

The picture in front of Annan's eyes turned again.

He was lying on a hospital bed.

His body was extremely weak, and when he opened his eyes, he could only see vague things, and it was difficult to speak when he opened his mouth. The small sound he heard in his ears was like a chisel gouging his head, and it was extremely noisy.

There were people all around, and he didn't know him, and he couldn't see clearly.

He felt someone sitting beside him, holding his old hand; He also felt someone sobbing quietly in the corner and someone pacing outside. Some people are looking at themselves, and some people are afraid to look at themselves.

And Annan inexplicably felt that his limit had come.

Death is already standing at the head of his bed, and when he exhales the next breath, it may be his end.

Annan suddenly understood.

This time it's not a time-limited decrypted escape room, it's not a role-play that battles people's wits and earns a long paragraph, or even a platform jump that repeatedly fails and is full of the producer's malice...... It's just a very simple, "go forward" game.

As long as Annan accepts his fate, this extremely short little game with no direction is over.

- But if Annan accepts his fate, he is dead.

Will he still be able to wake up?
