The next moment, Elle's spirit suddenly pounced on Annan.

Annan didn't feel the cold of being swept through by the spirit.

Almost instantly, Annan felt a tumbling sensation of a foreign body coming from his abdomen.

It's like it's about to be produced......

Without thinking, he pulled a silver coin from his bosom, grabbed it with the second knuckle of his right thumb and index finger, and shook it with his hand.

The silver coin seemed to spread rapidly with inertia, and with a snap it unfolded into a slender and sharp blade.

Immediately afterward, Annan pointed it to his abdomen.

"I knew that this last point was going to be connected after all......"

Annan sighed and sliced his abdomen open.

Joseph wields a sledgehammer and is a wizard himself.

The police were armed with guns and carried hunting dogs.

Even Amos's own weapons are "the drilled rifling of the skeleton".

- So, where did Amos get his first serious injury to his abdomen? Why are there injuries to the internal organs, but there are no signs of a fight, no other injuries?

There is only one answer.

The cut in his abdomen had been cut open by Amos himself with a knife.

As for the purpose......

Annan watched calmly, and half of the umbilical cord drilled out of his abdomen like a snake, shattered the bottle full of liquor, and connected to the abdomen of "Angelo".

The umbilical cord was lit with a transparent flame of seven colors...... It was an illusory color like a rainbow.

Annan saw that his health was declining rapidly, so he quickly took out the tomato containing the blood of more than a dozen people and connected it to the other end of the umbilical cord.

At this time, Annan's health was already about halfway.

Pretty much the same as when he went into the nightmare.

And the "meat ball" was extracting the flesh and blood inside the tomato, growing rapidly, and the limbs and facial features were stretched.

It's like being born by Annan...... It went from a seven- or eight-year-old stillborn baby to a seven- or eight-pound baby girl in the blink of an eye.

The baby opened his eyes.

It has turquoise eyes.

- Stillborn again?

The corners of Annan's mouth went up.

Far from it.

"What shall I call you?"

Annan asked softly, "Skeleton Male?" Angelo? Still is......

"Elle?"

"You can call me Elle...... Annan. This is the right I have granted you, for the sake of you being with me to the end, watching me be born. ”

The baby girl in front of him made a girlish voice: "And my real name is Angelo."

"Betraying the Angel - Bone Lord's daughter, Angelo."

Yes.

The Son of God who has not yet been born...... Angelo, who has half of the truth of "betrayal".

She can be regarded as almost half of the "god of betrayal".

It is Elle herself who was left by her mother as a prop, ignored by her biological father, killed by her adoptive father, and whose soul was imprisoned by the third father, the Skeleton Father, who made a nightmare made of her biological father's bearer, and re-enacted more than a thousand betrayals - and then obtained the truth of "betrayal".

That is the truth that even the skeleton himself has only obtained fragments of "betrayal".

The Skeleton Male is here to get her and complete his truth...... will wait for decades in the frozen water port.

It is for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit.

The Son of God of the Bone Father will also be his most satisfying apostle.

Born by betrayal, died by betrayal, resurrected by betrayal, elevated by betrayal.

Why would Amos blurt out "Help me, Elle" at Angelo?

Why did he go to the expense of using Elle's corpse to complete the ritual to resurrect Angelo?

Why is he so attached to this child who is not himself and has nothing to do with him?

- precisely because he had known for a long time that Angelo might be Elle.

But because of this, Elle would never forgive his sins.

"Satisfied, Elle?"

Annan asked in a low voice.

Angelo, on the other hand, maintained the posture of a baby, smiled and put her thumb in her mouth, and let out a girl's crisp laugh weirdly: "Satisfied."

Dreams are the poison that confuses the good and the wicked.

"A person who ignores morality for the sake of a dream, a person who transgresses the law for the sake of a dream, a person who betrays a loved one for the sake of a dream......

"—I curse you."

The dead Elle, or the newborn Angelo, let out a clear cry.

"I curse you, you will be betrayed by your dreams. You will be exhausted, your spirits will be withered, and you will be betrayed and your relatives will be separated...... Until you finally betray your dreams.

"I curse you too...... The dreams that you betray will turn into your greatest curse and deepest nightmare. It will haunt you for the rest of your life when you abandon it, and you will wake up from a nightmare...... Regret for the rest of your life for what you have left behind. ”

The curse that overflowed from Elle's mouth turned into chains and sank into the void.

This is a curse that no one knows and no one sees.

Except for Annan.

“…… So, am I your keeper of secrets? ”

Annan said softly.

"Yes."

The baby girl uttered a gentle and melodious voice: "You are a witness to this curse...... Would you like to? ”

Although it was a question, in her tone, there was no hatred, resentment and hysteria.

There was only incomparable calm.

Calm as the sea—that is the tyranny of those who set foot on the earth, and who cannot be seen or touched throughout their lives.

Only then can I clearly realize that "Elle" is already dead.

"—of course I do."

Annan also replied seriously: "Although I am late, I still have to say...... It's not you who is at fault.

"So of course you can hate them, you can take revenge on them, and of course you can curse them. This is the prerogative of the betrayed – you don't need to suppress your emotions so much.

"It's better to say...... Your curse is too gentle. ”

From birth to death, and even to resurrection, Elle was used and betrayed by people who "dreamed of going further".

Even if she curses all the "people who chase their dreams", Annan can understand it.

But she didn't.

She still kept her sanity...... It only curses those who "ignore morality, laws, and even betray relatives, friends and loved ones for the sake of their dreams".

“…… You're much better than the Skeleton. ”

Annan sighed: "If you were the god of betrayal, it would be fine. ”

"—it would have been like this, Annan."

At this moment, the voice of the skeleton man came from Angelo's mouth: "I hold half of the truth of 'betrayal' with her. Eventually, they will become two gods of the same coin...... Together, I am the god of complete betrayal.

"As the 'betrayed,' she will watch the betrayer's deeds, and I, as the 'betrayer,' will listen to the wails of the betrayed.

"We'll see you again...... As I said before, you're going to be the Frost Whisperer. I didn't lie to you. I won't lie to you this time either.

"Hopefully you'll recognize us when we see each other again."

"Ah, I'll try."

Annan replied casually.

At this moment, the nightmares around ...... Or rather, the "gallery" itself began to crumble and collapse.

And Joseph, who was standing stiffly at the door with a sledgehammer in hand, did not know when he turned into a hollow clay puppet, collapsed and shattered, and the black mud inside overflowed.

Instead of becoming a "colored ball of light" this time, Angelo became a beautiful, energetic baby girl. And they didn't fight in the end.

"Am I going to witness the birth of a new god again...... I don't want to be your pope. ”

Annan sighed, put the gun with only the last bullet in his pocket on the table, and turned to walk up the stairs.

This last bullet was supposed to be used to cast the curse of "not going far" on Angelo.

This is also a "chance to betray" deliberately left by the Skeleton Gong to the people who have nightmares for the Raiders.

This is undoubtedly the last malice of the Skeleton Prince.

The baby girl has no ability to dodge, and as long as Annan shoots him, Angelo will be immobilized in the frozen water harbor...... Annan, on the other hand, will be rated higher for killing the Betrayal Angel.

— but Annan chose to refuse.

Elle was miserable enough. As Elle's keeper of secrets, he didn't want to betray her anymore.

Annan also has his bottom line.

"Don't really think of the player as a demon who has no emotions and doesn't know virtue......"

Annan muttered under his breath.

The frost covering the ground had shattered and cracked in the tremors, which allowed Annan to finally get his feet down.

"Where are you going?"

The baby girl, who was placed on the table by Annan, let out two overlapping voices: "This nightmare has been completely purified by you...... You don't have to go anywhere, just wait for it to die out naturally. ”

"Ah, it's fine."

Annan said casually: "It's just satisfying my personal little obsessive-compulsive disorder......"

As he spoke, he walked to the door of the basement.

Annan took off his shirt and hung it on a hanger.

On the display case, Elle's left eye was gone.

Annan, who still had a knife wound in his abdomen that could be touched deep into his internal organs, walked to the door of the gallery.

At this point, the closed doors of the gallery have been opened.

Outside the house is the blue sky and white clouds, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

And the whole gallery is collapsing.

As soon as he walked out of the gallery, Amos's soul was freed.

But......

"—There are those who don't deserve salvation."

Annan muttered under his breath and walked to the gate.

With all his strength, he closed the door and turned inward.

He looked at the brightly lit gallery, his belly drenched in blood and dying.

Everything was as it was at the beginning.

With Elle's gleeful chuckle, the ceiling of the gallery finally collapsed.

The world in front of Annan's eyes instantly turned into darkness.

Nightmare: Gallery - Cleared completely.
