The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 527 She Was Alive

Annan felt something was wrong at first.

The difficulty of this nightmare is ridiculously high, and you will die if you are not careful, and there is no warning;

While full of high-difficulty "mechanism kills", it also has to go through a long process of walking simulator, as if deliberately burning some cards, and every time it dies, it will only increase the degree of erosion very little.

It's almost like a fine score.

It looks like it wants to kill the person who entered the nightmare......

The part that is close to the fairy tale is screaming desperately, forcing others to flee.

And it dies so frequently, it can't be kicked out after dying a few times...

——The essence of this contradiction is because the "compassionate" part and the "malicious" part are really controlled by two people!
The reason why the twisted nightmare is called the twisted level is because it has "special properties".

Such as [replay], such as [memory], such as [dream], such as [spider web].

The power of the elements is an extraordinary power from the void.And the special nature is the extraordinary power of the dream world that is opposite to it.

Ordinary nightmares absorb curses by killing mortals, and they can gradually become difficult levels easily; even if they are left alone, they will gradually expand to difficult levels.

But the difficult level must kill enough and powerful enough transcendents to become a twisted level.

Because it lacks [Special Properties].And the special nature can only be transformed through the power of the deceased's elements.

The special nature of the nightmare is the special power used by the nightmare to invade and transform the world.Only nightmares with special properties can become power after being purified by a golden-rank transcendent.

Difficult Nightmare To advance, one must have special properties...but just having special properties is not enough.

Because the concentration of the power of curse is not enough.

Why is the durability of man-made nightmares so low, while the durability of nightmares obtained from natural death is very high?
Because "durability" is the "material" for creating nightmares!
The experience needed to level up is not conjured out of thin air... The nightmare of the dead has high durability because he is really dead.Most curses of the soul turn into nightmares.

The curse needed for artificial nightmares must be paid by the "craftsman" himself.

The higher the durability, the more curses will be spent.Only a little bit of persistent nightmare means that it is basically an empty shell with a concentrated curse inside-which just shows the exquisite craftsmanship.

There is no doubt that Alice cannot have the power of elements.

Her mother was just an ordinary silver class.

At the beginning of the birth of this nightmare, I am afraid that it only has the characteristic of "spider web".

As long as you enter the nightmare, you will go directly to the spore mill.

And inside the mill, there is an infinite cycle of death - you will die if you touch anything, you will die if you stand differently, there is no safe point.Even if you die once, it will definitely not only increase the erosion rate by 1%... but how much it can increase.

Like the cat version of Mario designer full of maliciousness, Grover's only purpose is to kill him.

His purpose is to "hunt".

The rituals that make up "Nightmare: Spore Mill" are also considered to be the spore poison bestowed by the Black Widow.

What he really wanted to sacrifice was not the lumberjacks, nor the Alice family.

——It was the transcendents who tried to purify this nightmare but were hunted down!

They died from excessive erosion - if a superhuman dies in a nightmare, no new nightmare will be produced, but will be completely swallowed by the nightmare that killed him.Like "Nightmare: The Gallery".

This soul is the "proof of poisoned killing", and it is the trophy he dedicated to the black widow!

Who would have thought that this nightmare was manipulated and intentionally killed to get the curse—or "experience"?

On the surface, it is a difficult level nightmare, but it has the special properties of a highly difficult "twisted level" nightmare!

And it's the hardest one!
After murdering many extraordinary people, he obtained a lot of curse power from the souls of extraordinary people.Just the share that Alice received as the core of the nightmare made it advance to a twisted nightmare.

That's certainly what Grover didn't want.

Because it has become a twisted level, it means that the number of silver-level transcendents who will challenge this nightmare has been greatly reduced; the possibility of being captured by the real strong has increased.

And, the nightmare was born with its own characteristics when it advanced.

——[Dream] belonging to Alice.

According to Nefertari's records, this nightmare has killed many people when it was at a difficult level.There are also high-ranking transcendents among them-at that time, I am afraid that if they die once, the erosion rate will increase by 10% or more.

This allows it to be directly sealed after it becomes a twisted level.No one dared to challenge it again.

But if there is a survivor who enters again, he will be surprised to find that... the content of the nightmare has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Alice put the people who entered the nightmare into the dense forest, lengthened the forward route, and used the one-time death time to prevent them from entering the mill before dawn.

Her purpose is to delay time.

After turning into a twisted level, both Alice and Grover have part of the control over the nightmare.And Alice's authority is obviously lower than that of Grover.

But within the scope of her ability, she has been working hard to intercept the people who entered the nightmare!

The purpose is to keep them from reaching the mill!
As Alice said.

【Bystanders are no different from perpetrators, and should be cast aside】

In the beginning, she was not referring to anyone else.

but yourself.

——She will never allow her to stand by while others do evil!
The land under Annan's feet.

This narrow land of less than ten square meters...is the isolated island that Alice can protect with all her strength.

"Hey."

Annan raised his head and looked at the huge spider that was poisoning the land under Annan's feet openly.

Called by Annan, Grover glanced at him, and then continued busy with the work at hand.

It is the manifestation of the "spider web", so naturally it cannot enter the realm of the "dream".

The moment it walks through, I'm afraid it will become a harmless fairy tale creature.

——But Alice herself is not a transcendent.

The power she holds is extremely weak.

Although she was still a living person before being made into a nightmare.

Just like Little Bear's suggestion.

Severed limbs, hollowed out bellies—stuffed with spores, to create nightmares with the deepest grievances of the dying.

Naturally, it doesn't last long.

Shortly after creating the nightmare, she died.

As an ordinary person, she couldn't stay awake in a nightmare.Even in my own nightmares.

But even the vague will has an instinct of "must not stand idly by".

Like a candle in the wind.

A clumsy, tiny, pitiful flame that could die at any moment.

Grover didn't bother to pay attention to her because even the people killed by Alice would become his strength... As long as Alice drove people away in an unscrupulous manner, it was only a matter of efficiency for him.

There is no need to destroy "Alice".

His hunting ground is more than this one.

An automatic killing mechanism that lures superhumans who don't know the truth to die, and continuously produces "food"-as long as it is purified once, it will end naturally.No hands, feet, or evidence will be left behind.

But now it's different.

【Do you want to protect him】

The spider rustled and laughed.

The earth is already oozing dark green light.

But Annan could hear it very clearly... There was a well-covered fear and fear in that ridicule.

He knew this feeling all too well.

Just like a murderer longing for peace, the feeling when his identity is about to be revealed...

— Grover was frightened.

Under Annan's piercing eyes, he was afraid.

【Die here】

The spider yelled.

Near the edge of the spider web, it has begun to gradually melt and collapse.

【You will never wake up】

【What a good ending】

【What a gentle and happy death】

What spread under Annan's feet was a poison that could kill even illusory concepts such as "earth" and "dream".

click.

Annan unhurriedly opened the insurance.

If a spider could laugh, it would laugh out loud.

【What can your poor pistol do? 】

【You have neither silver coins nor gold dust】

[There is no thing with a quantity of 7 here, and no other people]

[No burning coals, no cups, and no moths]

【You don't have any rituals, any divine spells to use】

【You might as well come out, if possible, I don't want to destroy "Alice"】

【You still jump into the abyss, you will die in ignorance】

"It's really long-winded."

Annan slowly raised his head.

He stared at the spider that had regained its eight eyes.

The corner of his mouth raised: "What are you afraid of?
"Are you... afraid of me?"

Annan withdrew his left hand from his arms.

It was indeed empty, holding nothing.

All he had in his pocket was a poor knife.

"If I die here, I really die...

"—If you die here, will you die too?"

[Of course, but so what? 】

[Weak as you, how can you kill me? 】

The corners of Annan's mouth became more flamboyant.

He wanted to laugh like crazy, wanted to laugh like crazy.But there was no smile in his eyes.

This is……

Am I mad?
I'm angry now.

So Annan opened his mouth and uttered words that are difficult for humans to spit out and understand:
"...the word 'winter' was born before the birth of the four seasons, and even before the birth of light and fire."

The moment his words landed.

The process of "poison" eroding the "earth" was terminated.

Because at this moment—

The earth, spiders, and cobwebs—everything you see is covered in silent snow in the blink of an eye.
