The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 583 Overlapping Dreams
...was this some sort of wholeness act?

Husky's overly blunt words not only stunned Shisanxiang for a moment.

Even the other players who were watching them on the forum were stunned for a moment.

The delicious wind goose couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud.

He quickly coughed lightly, adjusted his emotions, and explained to Annan and also to the other players: "It should be said that this is the spinal cord response."

"...It's pretty good too."

The corner of Annan's mouth couldn't help but rise for a moment: "If he really gets into the show, Shisanxiang will be in trouble..."

He is not like a player who can start a live broadcast and leave a recording.Therefore, Annan's actions in the nightmare will not be "quite investigator-like" like Husky and Shisanxiang, and the priority will be to play and advance the plot.

Of course, part of the reason is that he entered the solo queue from the perspective of "1P".

Because Justus was "beated by AI", the logic of his behavior is quite restored.Justus's strong desire for control left Annan with little free time after waking up, and was able to conduct arbitrary investigations in the room.

What he saw was far less than what Shisanxiang saw.

And with the perspective of the "2P" player Husky, more parts can be completed.

For example, what Husky saw and heard after entering the dungeon was something Annan couldn't see.

"A fleeting moment of anger. A neverending remorse."

The two quotes that Annan heard when he entered the dungeon, each of them only heard half of them.What Husky heard was the previous sentence.

Then, when he entered the dungeon, the introduction plot appeared directly:
[Today is your 30th birthday, and you offered a deal to "Trizzino" for the third time. 】

[Of course you know what the name "Trisino" stands for.God of murder and conspiracy, pope of the "tragedy writer", "dream eater", "wine drinker". 】

[At the same time, he is also your mentor, "Bone Healer" Trissino Seti]

[There are no more than five people in this world who know his secret.And you are one of them. 】

[In the previous two transactions, you successfully got what you wanted, but you also paid a corresponding price.And in this transaction, you are determined to sacrifice your last friend - Frederick Melvin, whom you haven't seen for seven years, and officially bid farewell to your human identity. 】

[According to the content of the contract, you should bring an idol wizard to the Cinder Barrens.When the star reaches the correct position, you can follow him into the "gap between dreams", that is, the "gate of the dream world". 】

[Here, the boundary between dream and reality is blurred.Reality can fall into a dream, and the dreamer can also reach reality.Under your guidance, Frederick was already drunk and unconscious, and fell into a deep sleep. 】

【—And where you are now is in the cinder barren land of his dream.To be precise, it was the "precognitive dream" that he dreamed about in the past. 】

[Dream and reality, at this moment, reach an infinite cycle. 】

[Let him believe that this dream is reality, and get the dream essence from his dry, dreamless corpse. 】

At this point, Husky immediately got the main task.

[Acquired the main task: wait and see]

[Convince Frederick that he is in a dream]

【Kill Frederick】

The introductory plot on the side of "Justus" instantly explained the situation that Annan was confused about before.

—Where is the dream?
At present, it seems that the answer is obviously - both sides are dreams.

This deserted street was indeed Frederick's prophetic dream in his childhood.That's why other than the two of them, no one else can see it... That's to reduce "variables".

However, although this is a prophetic dream that Frederick had in his childhood.

However, this does not mean that the [reality] outside is Frederick's childhood.The correct statement is that both sides are dreams.

They were all dreams that appeared after Frederick got drunk!

There was something wrong with the drink Justus gave Frederick.

What they are now in is the prophetic dream that Frederick once had in his childhood.

To be precise, he "dreamed about his past self, and at that time dreamed about the 'now' prophetic dream"!
It was Frederick's dream within a dream.

I don't know if it's a coincidence of fate, or careful calculation...

Dreams and reality are subtly overlapped here.

... Is this the ingenious calculation of "Dream Eater"?
Annan couldn't help feeling a little chill down his spine.

There is a gap of fifteen or sixteen years between the two acts of "Past" and "Future".Frederick was about fourteen or fifteen years old back then, but Justus is just over thirty now.

When he was studying in Frederick's childhood, he let him see the occult book "Law of Similarity and Predictive Dreams" written by the tragic writer himself.

This is to allow Frederick to use the power of the powerful Prophet School and Idol School to dream of the future 15 years later-even if Frederick was already a silver-level idol wizard at that time, he was not from the Prophet School after all.

Spanning more than ten years, the logic of thinking can still maintain a clear predictive dream and maintain the accuracy of the content.

Even if it is a silver-rank prophet wizard, it is very reluctant to do this.Because the difficulty of "prediction" will increase geometrically as the amount of information increases and the time span increases.

Either it is far and blurry, or it is near and clear.It's impossible to be far and clear... at least the silver steps can't be done.

Even if Frederick is a genius, it is impossible to easily achieve this level of prophetic dream.

The evidence is... except for this time, Frederick has never had a premonition dream of this level.

——Because this originally belonged to the power of the gods.

Fifteen years ago, dreaming about the power of the present; and 15 years later, dreaming about the power of the past, are all the proud works of tragic writers——

This is a grand drama that has been intently brewing for at least 15 years!

"No wonder, Nefertari said I died three times."

Annan was thoughtful.

Three times indeed.

Once, "Young Frederick" was crushed to death by a boulder, and it was the "past" that the current Frederick dreamed of after being drunk.

Once, "Young Frederick" was killed by throwing an axe. It was the [future] that Frederick dreamed of when he came into contact with "Law of Similarity and Predictive Dreams".

the third time……

——It can only be outside the dream.

Scary and eerie.

Repeatedly waking up and falling asleep...the endless cycle of dream and reality.

It is indeed a god-level handwriting.

Annan nodded, just about to praise.

But right now.

——Husky looked at his introduction plot and read it to Shisanxiang.

Then he looked suspiciously at Thirteen Xiang, who played "Frederick", and questioned from the bottom of his heart.

"What does it mean?

"I know how to kill you...but how can I convince you that this is a dream?"
