The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 421: Annan’s real nightmare


This is the real main mission.

After the false dream collapsed, Annan finally entered his real nightmare.

What appeared before him was a world on the verge of being broken.

Looking down, there is a bottomless abyss.

And a broken wall like a huge ship was slowly sinking downwards.

The direction of gravity is also completely broken. There are even some building fragments that look like they are turned upside down 180 degrees.

"It looks like an Outsider is about to come out and chat with me..."

Annan couldn't help but complain.

He is now near the bottom of the pit. Looking up, there are paintings of different sizes hanging on many cracked stone walls of different heights.

But unlike "Nightmare: Gallery", the content on each painting here is very simple.

Either eyes, ears, or mouth.

And the eyes and mouth are still opening and closing at different frequencies.

Those should be the characteristics of someone Annan has seen.

——I can tell this because Annan saw Salvatore’s iconic tired eyes with dark circles in many portraits.

To be honest, Annan doesn’t see many people who are sleep-deprived to this extent and yet don’t burp…

Annan looked up and saw that in the dim crimson sky, where the sun should have been, there was only a huge, ice-blue eyeball.

If Annan guessed correctly... those were Annan's own pupils.

A beam of ice-blue light swept across the ground in the direction of the eyeballs. A thin layer of ice formed on the ground illuminated by the light in the blink of an eye, and quickly dissipated after looking away.

"...So this is a parkour game?"

Annan murmured in surprise: "Do you want to avoid this light? Will you die immediately if you shine it or something..."

How to collect these seven fear fragments?

He has now collected three pieces.

Two of them should be obtained from those two nightmare fragments. The third film may be Annan's own fear...

Suddenly, Annan noticed that two paintings in the distance had been burned. There is also a painting with a dagger emitting iridescent light nailed to it - Annan can see clearly that it is his "other eye".

"...I understand."

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.

If each person's memory fragments produce a sub-nightmare... there should be sixty-three nightmare fragments here.

Then the mechanism of entering the nightmare fragment must be obvious——

——The entrance is these paintings.

There is a high probability that the paintings composed of the eyes, ears, and mouths of people you do not know are fragments of will added by Salvatore.

Is it because the first nightmare I experienced was a gallery, so it also changed my own subconscious...

"——Hmm."

At this moment, the eyes in the sky glanced over.

Annan did not take any chances and immediately hid in the bunker closest to him.

He glanced around, took two steps forward, and jumped up.

That is very obvious, the inverted gravity——

Halfway through Annan's jump, he was "sucked" to the left...or, in other words, he was falling toward the building debris on the left, with the wall pointing toward Annan.

Just in case, Annan chose to flip his body over like a cat, landing on all fours lightly on the ground.

He paused for a moment, relieved his dizziness, and then rushed forward again.

After jumping several times, Annan leaned against the wall behind him.

This is to prevent yourself from being illuminated by the eyeball in the sky when you enter the nightmare fragment.

...The question now is.

Where is Denton the Dream Stealer hiding?

Is he in some fragment? Then the search for this one will be endless...

Or do you have to collect at least seven fear fragments before you can go find Denton?

But if Denton is not caught, will he randomly change the contents of the nightmare again?

Annan was thinking while quietly scanning the paintings in front of him.

If he guessed correctly, there should be an entrance to the chamber of fear in these paintings...

"Are these...Benjamin's eyes? Whose mouth is this...It seems to be Kaifuni? But there are also Kaifuni's eyes here..."

Ah, it’s this——

Finally, Annan noticed a very unfamiliar pupil.

Because Annan has never seen such cold gray pupils. Otherwise, he will definitely have an impression...

The gray eyes in the painting quickly noticed Annan's gaze.

The moment its eyes met Annan.

All the paintings with "mouths" on them suddenly made sounds at the same time.

Screams, roars, cries... came from all directions in Annan.

This time, in front of Anan, there was no jitter like a TV with poor signal, but the whole thing dimmed.

When the light came on again, Annan had received a new body.

——This time it was a young woman with a good figure.

Wearing a white turtleneck sweater and slippers, she seemed to be at home.

Annan glanced out the window, suddenly startled and a little lost.

Out the window is... blue sky and white clouds.

Annan has never seen such a clear, jewel-like sky.

The sky in Noah is like that of all industrial cities... Although you can still see the sky, what you see ~IndoMTL.com~ when you look up is always bright gray. This should really be because Noah has too many factories.

Not to mention the cold winter - above the dome, there is only a howling snowstorm.

But here...

Annan couldn't help but walk towards the window.

"Well..."

She is a little uncomfortable adapting to the new center of gravity, but fortunately she still has no problem walking.

Looking out from the window, the beautiful scenery made her a little distracted.

It is a spectacle that is very close to the model of modern high-rise buildings.

At a glance, the building has at least ten floors, arranged in a strange pattern of groups of four floors or groups of two floors. In the middle of each group of high-rise buildings, there is something that looks like an elevator or a glass-colored straw.

Golden and silver veins like blood vessels can be found on these pipes, winding around the adjacent buildings, emitting an uncertain light. Perhaps because of the color scheme, not only does it not feel disgusting, but it actually has a sacred feeling under the sunlight.

Annan also saw two huge statues of gods - at least twenty stories high. It looks like about a hundred meters...

One is a heroic knight riding a red horse, wearing red armor and a red helmet. He held a huge, extremely exaggerated six-edged spear in his backhand, and it looked like he was about to smash the tip of the spear into someone in front of him at any time. The weapon was like a combination of a spear and a mace, and it was extremely deadly whether it was piercing or slashing.

The other one is a barefoot child with white hair, white skin, white robes, and long hair. It was unclear whether he was a man or a woman from the back. He spread his hands forward, palms upward, and lowered his head slightly as if he was saying something.

——Annan knew at a glance that these were the Red Knight and Mr. Yao.

This is the Theocracy?

Is this...the Theocracy?
