Chapter 139: He was full of determination
Thirteen Incense stared at the husky: "Do you understand?" ”
The husky shook his head honestly.
"What do you think?"
"I don't think you understand."
"Almost. But the most important part I have understood anyway. ”
The husky replied confidently.
"Oh?"
Thirteen Xiang asked curiously, "Which part did you understand?" ”
"-In short, it's the old man in gray who is doing something, and the other brothers with names are all miserable, right?"
The husky said with a look of course. There was no hesitation on his face.
Thirteen Incense's expression froze for a moment.
"Hey, did I misunderstand?"
“…… No. Quite right. ”
Thirteen incense sighed.
Should it be said to be a husky?
Even if he skips all the things he doesn't understand, he still can still leave something behind with his keen intuition......
"What's your main quest?"
"I don't know."
The husky replied honestly, "Just one line." You've decided...... And then it's gone. ”
“…… I see. It seems that my speculation was correct. ”
Thirteen Incense pondered for a moment, then met the husky's puzzled gaze and explained, "I didn't receive any main quests here.
"It may be that the nightmare on this level is only on your side with the main quest."
This nightmare though has three layers.
But in fact, they have been circulating in the second layer of nightmares.
The first nightmare, the first "Frey's nightmare" that Justers saw, was the world where Ingrid did not die and killed Frederick more than a dozen years later.
At the end of that world, a flag was planted. This can be set to CP1, which is the first save point.
But it's a dead gear.
After that, Justes "goes back in time" and enters the second layer of nightmares.
They go back to their teenage years, this time Ingrid dies, and they live until adulthood, to the Embers Barren. Then "Justus the Enlightened" killed them.
After his death, due to the Nightmare's "re-enactment properties", Justes lost his memories and returned to CP1. That is, the end of the first layer of nightmares, and directly to the beginning of the second layer of nightmares...... That is, when he was a teenager, the point in time when Ingrid died or not.
Justes repeats the "second layer" nightmare countless times.
Every time he is killed by another self, he starts all over again as a teenager. Survive a nightmare that lasts for more than a decade, until the ashes are barren, and then you are killed by another self.
…… Until he realized completely that he was dreaming. There is a bug in the infinitely repeating story.
It was only when he was a purifier that Justus realized that he was being used. Only then did he realize that the house he had lived in for a long time had been converted into a ceremonial ground.
The way to crack the ritual is to enter room 206 with Frederick.
After that, Justs will keep the "playthrough memory", go back to his teenage years, and return to where they are now, a dozen years later.
A barren field of "manned" coal ashes.
The preconditions for what seems to be a true ending have been met.
Why is there anyone here?
- because Justus the Enlightened has not yet invaded this world.
– because he is the enlightened one of the future.
"As if you trusted me."
Thirteen Incense said to the husky: "If Justs realizes that this is a nightmare and clears customs with Frederick from the exit of room 206...... And back here.
"Then Justs will tell Frederick everything he knows."
What the husky has experienced, in fact, has already happened once.
Frederick trusted this friend of his.
His wisdom is very clear about ...... His friend has been trapped in his own nightmare.
Then Frederick, as the owner of the nightmare, will tell Justes the way to clear this nightmare.
“…… Kill Frederick. Kill all Fredericks. ”
With the face of "Frederick", Thirteen Spice replied to the husky with the face of "Just".
Just as history has repeated itself countless times, and the tragedy has just come to an end...... Same.
...... [Repeat].
Thirteen incense vaguely understood the weight of the word.
But this time is certainly different.
Because he's not Frederick.
And the husky is not just a Justs.
"It's a dream within a dream. So you're going to kill me twice. ”
He looked at the husky and said to him calmly, "Kill me for the first time, and there will be no Justus [in this world]." You can take your memories back to Professor Gray at the end of the week.
"This is your CP2 - the second save point.
"At that time, the 'Enlightened' Justus had probably killed Professor Gray in anger. He had realized that it was his own nightmare and that he was able to do it...... Most crucially, Professor Gray will not resist.
"Then, he used the knowledge of the ceremonial master that Professor Ash had taught him to take over Professor Ash's rituals. Go back to the second week and try to kill all the 'Fredericks' in the dreams. When all 'Frederick' in this nightmare is dead, Justes will be able to escape from this nightmare. ”
It's like retracting all the text messages sent to the past in the Gate of the Stone of Destiny.
The only information that Justus the Enlightened is missing......
It was in the barren field of uninhabited coal that both Justers and Frederick were killed by a mysterious man.
- This mysterious person is the "Justus the Enlightened" who is still unscrupulous in order to clear the nightmare.
If Justus had known about this, he would have been resurrected from the first save point. But because he is an enlightened being...... He and Frederick didn't go outside at all, but went straight to Room 206.
So he was the only one who didn't know about it.
In other words, the first and third nightmares only appeared once. The content of the first nightmare was fabricated by Professor Ash, and it was just an introduction; And the third nightmare created the Enlightened Justus.
"The moment Justus the Awakened entered the second nightmare and killed Frederick, he was already stuck. Yes, the Enlightened One only moved once, and then the nightmare was stuck. ”
An infinite paradox loop is generated.
Why does dying in this nightmare not increase the erosion?
Because it's designed.
If he didn't, then I'm afraid Justs would have died in a nightmare by the time of the second infinite loop.
When a transcendent dies in a nightmare, he becomes part of the nightmare.
In fact, as long as he murders Justes in a nightmare, Professor Gray's most basic purpose has been achieved - that is, to resurrect "Frederick's" body for the split of his identity.
But as a sacrifice to the tragic writer, he made a big circle that put Justes in a state of neither death nor life.
That is, the paradoxical cycle of being constantly killed by "your future self".
Like an Ouroboros.
There is always only one in the first and third tiers, but the number of "copies" in the second tier is constantly increasing. It multiplies like a virus.
Frederick will never finish. Justes can never be separated.
Although his erosion had not increased at all, he had repeated hundreds, thousands, countless reincarnations in a nightmare—his spirit had been completely lost.
[A brief moment of anger.] Never-ending remorse. 】
It was never-ending torture.
After Justes died, his soul was also trapped in this nightmare. Because he was not utterly dead—so his soul did not become nourishment for this nightmare; But he wasn't alive either, so he gave birth to a new nightmare.
Frederick's soul and nightmares were stuffed into Justes' corpse.
Frederick's body was stolen by Professor Gray.
"I got it this time."
The husky said in a deep voice.
"So...... How do I do that? ”
Thirteen incense was silent.
He wasn't sure...... Don't dare to make this bet either.
He was also afraid—he was afraid that he too would be stuck in this nightmare.
But at this moment, Annan's calm voice suddenly came to his ears.
- After the Husky kills you, kill yourself from the first nightmare and prevent the spawn of Justus the Enlightened. According to the rules of this nightmare, in the first level of the nightmare, 'Justus is all dead'...... So that you can be resurrected. ”
…… This is, off-site assistance?
Thirteen Xiang was stunned for a moment, and quickly shared Annan's words with the husky.
They don't have much of a choice.
So they quickly made up their minds.
"I'm going to kill you once......"
When it came to the end, the husky hesitated.
Finally, looking at Thirteen Incense with his eyes closed, he slowly clenched his fists.
- Huskies are full of determination.
