Seeing that Annan's attitude towards him seemed a little distant and cold, the Faceless Poet was slightly stunned.

Then He quickly realized something.

The girl with the raven-faced blurted out, "Have you lost your memory now?" ”

“…… Why? ”

Annan raised an eyebrow.

Pretending to be as casual as possible, he asked casually.

He had just noticed a word out of nowhere.

- [Already].

As if the Faceless Poet was not surprised or saddened that he did not remember Him...... I just didn't expect it to happen at this time.

If this speculation is correct......

Then there is conclusive evidence for the "other possibility" of crossing into this world by yourself.

You may ...... It wasn't just after crossing to the beach in Frozen Water Harbor.

The current evidence is threefold.

In Nightmare: The White Tower, Maria inadvertently mentions that her brother has a good personality, but the Winter family is born with a heart for winter and does not feel happy;

In "Nightmare: The Great Hunt", Annan, who was still young in the past, made a similar choice to himself;

And the most important thing is......

The "Book of Truth" will begin to emerge only after new concepts have been born.

The Silver Jazz could not have been born before civilization had "trade", nor could the Red Knight have been born before "war". For the Book of Truth, which allowed them to fulfill the gods, had not yet appeared at that time.

The time when the fragment of the Book of Truth appeared on Don Juan's body was obviously much earlier than the time when Annan woke up.

If we say, Annan traveled much earlier in time - just lost his memory in this world because of something.

Then a lot of things can be explained.

But in this case, another problem arises.

Five years ago, the reason why the people in the mirror performed forbidden rituals and risked themselves to death and then be reborn as gods was that there was no new, blank book of truth at that time.

If the Book of Truth predates the occurrence of Nightmare: The White Tower, then there seems to be no reason for the Man in the Mirror to take the risk......

But in the face of Annan's side knock, the Faceless Poet pondered silently for a while.

"I can't tell you."

To Annan's surprise, the Faceless Poet finally replied, "It's your own decision." ”

“…… My own decision? ”

This unexpected answer surprised Annan himself.

No, wait......

Annan suddenly sensed something.

He remembered.

The last time he saw Benjamin, he had learned from Benjamin that there was a "Leviathan breath" left around him.

The Leviathan is one of the three giant monsters raised by the mysterious lady.

Its status should be equivalent to that of the highest level of "messenger".

If the name is the same thing as the "Leviathan" on Earth that Annan knew, it would be a huge, sea-dwelling female beast of the sea. The name "Leviathan" itself means "crack", "vortex".

It is irrational to judge based on a name and the identity of a "monster", and it can be a preconceived mistake.

But considering the terrain when he landed, Annan can think that the "Leviathan" of this world does live in the sea.

…… So, what if Annan was prepared for his "amnesia" before?

According to Annan's style of acting, his appearance in the cold water port should be some kind of hint. Because even if he loses his memory, there is actually no need to come to Noah, let alone come to Frozen Water Harbor first...... The rotten man has left, and the old grandmother is about to wake up. Coupled with the protection of Mary, it is more convenient to return to the dead of winter.

If Leviathan can send himself to Frozen Waterport, he should be able to send him back to Winter.

Unless, the Frozen Water Port itself has some special meaning.

Annan quickly thought of something.

Because of the special feature of Frozen Water Harbor, there is only "Nightmare: Gallery".

The gallery's special mechanic, "Re-enactment", is a nightmare mechanism that loses the memories previously generated if you fail.

The reason for this mechanic is that the "gallery" is not really a complete, past-occurring thing.

The essence of the nightmare is the projection of the dream information in reality with the soul as the cornerstone.

What's special about the gallery is that the soul that makes up this nightmare, that is, Elle, is under the protection of the skeleton and is not really dead.

Elle can still gain new memories of what happened afterward; What happened after the others went into the nightmare was still a "reality in progress" for her.

And not like other nightmares, it's "stories from the past."

In other words......

“…… Is it because of the enemy's attack? ”

Annan asked tentatively.

If you really have amnesia...... Then the former self and the current one who did not let him know the truth are nothing more than one possibility.

That is, Annan suddenly has the need to actively discard a large number of memories, and at the same time, he has key memories that cannot be read and viewed by the Soul Reaver, so he can only choose "factory reset".

For example, the memory is polluted by something; Or in order to achieve a certain goal and meet a certain condition, you have to forget something and return to the state of "ignorance".

Of course, it is also possible that they have simply been attacked or severely damaged, and only in this way can they survive......

And in the face of Annan's inquiry, the Faceless Poet couldn't help but let out a somewhat sharp laugh: "It's impossible, Annan.

"You can forget a lot of things. I'll give you some information to reassure you.

"In Noah, there is me, there is Sir Silver, in the Underground Federation there are two goddesses of honor, in the bitter winter there is the old grandmother, in the United Kingdom there are Paper Princess, Stone Father and the Singer, and in the Church there are also those three righteous gods...... If the enemy you're talking about is a rotten man, then he's not quite worthy.

"He was too young. He doesn't know what your value to the world, Annan, is. ”

“…… What do I mean? ”

Annan asked confusedly.

Listening to the Faceless Poet, it seems that he has communicated with many righteous gods......

But hearing this, the girl wearing the crow mask paused, and then shook her head decisively: "I am the god of secrets." ”

"Then just mention it, when will it be ......"

"I refuse, refuse ~ all the rest refuse~"

Before Annan could finish speaking, the Faceless Poet crossed his hands in front of him and sang a song out of tune loudly, overshadowing Annan's voice and forcibly interrupting Annan's words.

He looked at Annan's distressed look and let out a strange laugh: "I said why did Paper Ji suddenly run to Noah...... It turned out to be coming for you. When you want to see Him, get out of here and go out into the streets...... Paper Ji can smell you, so she doesn't need you to go to Him. ”

“…… But even if you say so......"

I still don't have any impression of Paper Hime.

"Hahahaha, don't do that, Annan. Forgetting is not a bad thing. Knowledge has weight, and the more powerful the knowledge, the heavier it is. You don't have the consciousness to move forward with a heavy load...... and abilities. ”

"Isn't the silver tier enough?"

"Don't take my word for it, I won't say it. The same is true for both ladies. But if you're lucky enough to meet Miss Lucky, she might say a few more words. ”

The thin girl said with a smile, her body gradually melted into black mud again, and her voice gradually became blurred: "Since I am sure that now is not the time to catch up, I will go first."

"At this time, Noah is not a safe place...... But since you chose to come here, it should be a lady's strategy.

"Madame taught us that if a secret is spoken, it loses its magic. Just let it be......"

The black sludge made a high-pitched, damp sound that overlapped and melted into the earth with a laugh: "I'll take a good look at you, buddy-

"—I'll keep a good record of all this!"
