Three times?

Annan was stunned for a moment.

Even if it's true on both sides, that's to die twice...... Where did the third time come from?

Or is it ......

Annan gradually reacted.

Multiplayer cooperative games such as Break Up Kitchen, Mess Around Moving, Super Bunny Man, Battle Brick Theater, and Just Big Adventure are all multiplayer cooperative puzzle games with relatively fair conditions for both parties.

That is, the difficulties and puzzles they face are all the same. Any person can solve it.

In reality, however, not all co-op games will have the same or symmetrical puzzles and difficulties faced by both sides.

There are also cooperative games where both sides face different puzzles and difficulties, but each faces different dilemmas, such as Forest Fire and Ice, Tales of the Twins, Bomb Disposal Simulator, Tick and Escape.

Things like the Forest Fire and Ice Man, the Tales of the Twins, and the Escape, at least still on the same screen...... Of course, because the difficulties encountered in the escape are almost synchronous, even if it is a split-screen mode, you may not be able to be distracted to pay attention to the situation on the other side.

The "Bomb Disposal Simulator" and "Ticking Sound", as well as the famous disconnection simulator "We Were Here Too", are simply about getting information and help through the other party's narration and interaction - any one of them will only have half the game experience strictly speaking.

Let's call this nightmare "Phantom Heat".

If this "Nightmare: Phantom Heat" is also a "two-player co-op game" of this mode, then the two people who play as Frederick and those who play as Justus ...... It's entirely possible that the level you face is not the same at all!

Frederick, for example, has only two sections: "past" and "future". And there is a third plot on Justes's side. The "other" Justes who "betrayed Frederick" should come from this third episode!

- This is probably the reason why Nefertari woke up a little later than Annan.

Annan was clear.

Unfortunately, Nefertari can't be like a player, and he can retain consciousness from his dreams without advancing to become a transcendent. She will lose consciousness after falling asleep, and when she wakes up, she will forget most of the experience in the nightmare, and she will not be able to narrate the plot of the copy to Annan.

And I don't know if it's a deliberate setting by the "healer" Seti...... This nightmare is the type that doesn't raise the level.

This means that even if Nefertari clears the level a few more times, he will not advance to the Transcendent.

Annan recalled the words of "Professor Gray" when he saw through his identity, and his heart suddenly sank.

…… Is this also in your calculations?

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.

If Annan is not mistaken.

The "Bone Healer" Seti is also the former "Gray Professor" of the Gray Tower.

His true identity...... Probably that Tricino.

That is, the one mentioned in the introduction plot of "Future Section", the Pope of the "Tragic Writer", the god of murder and conspiracy.

In that introduction, it is mentioned that Justes, the "Shield of the Immortal", accepted a contract from Pope Tricino to bring an idol wizard to the Ember Barrens. Let him feel the "gap between dreams and dreams".

According to the relationship between them.

As long as Justes says he needs Frederick's help, Frederick may not help him.

But Justes didn't say anything to Frederick until the end.

That's a lot of information.

- It's still a secret group.

Annan said.

On the other hand, as long as Justes' secret is known. All the puzzles are solved.

Who the hell is Tricino who could make Justes so obedient?

From the plot of "Teenage Segment", it can be seen that Justes has a great admiration for Professor Gray. Moreover, the magic wine he drank was the same wine that Professor Gray used to seal the holy relics.

Happened.

Annan not only knew the properties of the Holy Relic Brewing Wine, he even had a bottle of [Holy Relic Extract (Justice)] himself.

Even if Jastes's bottle of dragon sleeping potion lacked dragon blood as the main ingredient. But Professor Gray is an idol wizard who can complete the "Supreme Crown" after all, and he may be able to optimize this recipe.

Although this is some kind of drug, it is not synthetic. Therefore, the transformation school will not know it as well as the idol school.

"Thief Sage Alfonso" is a transformation mixture made by relying on the extract of the Skeleton of Courage, and it has obtained the qualification to be able to contain the [Skeleton of Courage].

If at that time, it has not been decided that Alfonso will use the [Skeleton of Courage].

In other words...... the forced adaptation technique of [Skeleton of Courage] will not be able to be successfully applied until Alfonso.

- It should have a test product from the previous generation.

Thinking of this, Annan's heart suddenly shuddered.

Skewered up.

Everything is strung together -

"A brief moment of anger. Never-ending remorse. ”

These are the words of Justes at the very beginning of the nightmare.

When you think of courage, you think of recklessness, and then you come to anger.

Justes' changed temperament may not really be due to the fact that he is the opposite of what is rumored to be the opposite—judging by his childhood state, he is not the same irascible and irritable person who likes to anger others.

It's more like a standard hot-blooded male protagonist...... Reckless, cheerful, values friendship, and is not very intelligent.

He would be angry with the bitter winter, perhaps because the extract of the Bones of Courage had changed his mind.

Ingrid's death does have something to do with Winter. But very reluctantly—the Storm Girl would choose to sacrifice herself, which means that she is about to run out of words. And at that time, there was indeed no better choice for Rinwinter to succeed the Daughter of the Storm.

Even if it's the blame for the wise...... Actually, it's not very strange.

Regardless of the judgment of the wise men at the time, there was indeed no error -

After all, half a day after receiving the news, an earthquake occurred directly. If they had been evacuated, there might have been more dead or wounded.

And in the short 12-day protection gap, only the Spotted Bone Forest was earthquake-free in the end, and the rest of the world was unharmed. Moreover, the Spotted Bone Forest was only a stone forest, and it was destroyed because of this.

There are not even a few cracks in the houses in the city.

The number of dead and wounded may be less than ten......

Justes, who was also in the Spotted Bone Grove, stayed in the barbecue restaurant all the time and did not suffer the slightest damage. If it weren't Frederick, the frail wizard, who followed Ingrid into the alley, he might have just grabbed her and ran out...... Or even if it is a normal wizard with spells such as [Fossil to Mud] or [Position Shift], you can escape from it smoothly.

Happens to be Frederick. Happens to be Ingrid.

Ingrid would have been killed because she happened to be hiding in a small alley to answer the phone, and as a result, she couldn't run out when something happened. It is also because the buildings around her are one of the few super-tall buildings in the city.

The real responsibility of the wise men is why they did not inform the residents to stay in a relatively safe place after the earthquake had already occurred in the "Spotted Bone Forest". Although this problem was revealed because there was indeed no earthquake for the next eleven days...... But their handling is indeed problematic.

- However, their conclusions have nothing to do with Ingrid.

So why did Professor Wolf choose to take revenge on the Duchy of Winter?

If you say...... Professor Wolf is neither Justers nor Frederick?

Is it true that the "poisonous wine" of the Holy Bone Extract, which has been taken in large quantities, can Justes' self-healing ability be restored?

Since this extract is capable of altering Alfonso's mind......

And why can't it change Justes' mind?

- Unless, Jasters's mind, has already been altered by it.

Annan seriously suspected that Ingrid's death was related to the "Gray Professor" Setty.

He sends recordings, can't he find a slightly quieter place?

It's obviously such an important thing, and it's not a simple thing that can be said in one or two sentences. He had to record so many ...... in a noisy place This may be that he calculated that if Ingrid couldn't hear clearly, he would go closer to answer the phone.

And he also calculated that there would be an earthquake in the Spotted Bone Forest.

He guessed that Ingrid would die. I also guessed that Justes would see all this, but survived safely.

If he really is the Pope of the tragic writer.

So what about this kind of thing...... Maybe he can do it.

"Could it be that this is the saying, 'The unfortunate will devote themselves to the furnace of misfortune.'"

Annan muttered in a low voice.

And if Ingrid's death was planned by him.

Then Justes accepts the contract and goes to the Ember Barrens.

I'm afraid that many years ago, the events of the Spotted Bone Grove ...... Same.
