The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 70: She was alive

Annan felt something was wrong from the beginning.

The difficulty of this nightmare is ridiculously high. If you are not careful, you will die without any warning;

While it is full of highly difficult "mechanical killings", it also has to go through a long walking simulator process that is like deliberately burning cards, and every time you die, it will only add very little erosion. Spend.

It's almost like a fine score.

It looks like someone who has entered a nightmare will be delayed to death...

The fairy-tale part of it is screaming desperately, forcing others to escape.

And it dies so frequently and cannot be kicked out after dying several times...

——The subtlety of this contradiction is that the "compassionate" part and the "malicious" part are really controlled by two people!

The reason why twisted nightmare is called twisted level is because of its "special properties".

For example [Reenactment], such as [Memory], such as [Dream], such as [Spider Web].

The power of elements is the extraordinary power from the virtual world. The special nature is the corresponding extraordinary power of the dream world.

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 extraordinary beings to become the twisted level.

Because it lacks [special properties]. The special properties can only be transformed through the power of the deceased's elements.

The special nature of nightmares is the special power that nightmares use to invade and transform the world. Only nightmares with special properties can become powerful after being purified by gold-level extraordinary beings.

To advance in a difficult nightmare, you must have special properties... but just having special properties is not enough.

Because the concentration of curse power is not enough.

Why are the durability of artificial nightmares so low, while the durability of nightmares obtained by natural death is very high?

Because "durability" is the "material" that creates nightmares!

The experience required for upgrading is not conjured out of thin air... The nightmare of the deceased has high durability because he is really dead. Most of the curses of the soul turn into nightmares.

The curse required for the artificial nightmare must be paid by the "craftsman" himself.

The higher the durability, the more curses are required. There is only a bit of lasting nightmare, which 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 is just an ordinary Silver level.

When this nightmare was born, it probably only had the "spider web" characteristic.

As long as you enter the nightmare, you will come directly to the Sporation 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 spot. Death will definitely not only increase the erosion level by 1%...but increase it as much as possible.

Like the malicious cat Mario designer, Grover's only purpose is to die.

His purpose is to "hunt".

The ritual that constitutes "Nightmare: Spore Mill" can also be regarded as the spore poison given by the Black Widow.

What he really wanted to sacrifice was not the lumberjacks or Alice's family.

——But the extraordinary beings who tried to purify this nightmare, but were hunted!

They died from excessive erosion - if a transcendent dies in a nightmare, it will not produce a new nightmare, but will be completely swallowed up by the nightmare that killed him. Like "Nightmare: The Gallery."

This soul is the "proof of poisoning" and the trophy he dedicated to the Black Widow!

Who would have thought that this nightmare was controlled by someone who deliberately killed someone to gain a curse - or "experience"?

On the surface, it is a difficult-level nightmare, but it has special properties that can only be found in highly difficult "distortion-level" nightmares!

And it is the most difficult category!

After murdering many extraordinary beings, he obtained a large amount of cursed power from the souls of extraordinary beings. Just Alice's share as the core of the nightmare has advanced it to a twisted nightmare.

This is definitely what Grover didn't want.

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

Also, nightmares develop their own characteristics as they advance.

——Alice’s [Dream].

According to Nefertari's information, this nightmare has killed many people at the difficult level. There are also high-ranking extraordinary beings among them - at that time, I am afraid that if you die once, the erosion will increase by 10% or more.

This allows it to be directly sealed after it becomes a distortion level. No one dares to challenge it anymore.

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

Alice puts the people who have entered the nightmare into the dense forest, lengthening the path forward and extending the one-time death time to prevent them from entering the mill before dawn.

Her purpose is to stall for time.

After becoming twisted level, both Alice and Grover have some control over the nightmare. Alice's authority is obviously lower than Grover's.

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

The purpose is to prevent them from reaching the mill!

Just like Alice said.

[Bystanders are no different from perpetrators, and both should be despised]

At first, she was not referring to anyone else.

But yourself.

——She will never allow herself to stand by while others do evil!

The land at the feet of Annan.

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

"Hello."

Annan raised his head and looked at the giant spider that was poisoning the ground beneath Annan's feet openly.

After Annan called him, Grover glanced at him and then continued busy with the work at hand.

It is the manifestation of the "cobweb" and naturally cannot enter the realm of "dreams".

The moment you pass by, you may turn into a harmless fairy tale creature.

——But Alice herself is not a supernatural being.

The power she holds is extremely weak.

Although she was still a living person before she was turned into a nightmare.

Just like the hint from Little Bear.

The limbs were severed and the abdomen was hollowed out - filled with spores, using the strongest resentment of the dying to create nightmares.

Of course, this will not last long.

She died shortly after becoming a nightmare.

As an ordinary person, she cannot stay awake in the nightmare. Even in my own nightmares.

But even the vague will has the instinct of "never sit idly by".

Like a candle in the wind.

Clumsy, subtle, a pitiful flame that could be extinguished at any time.

Grover doesn't bother to pay attention to her because even the people killed by Alice will become his strength... As long as Alice doesn't drive people away openly, for him it's just a matter of efficiency. .

There is no need to destroy "Alice".

This is not the only hunting ground for him.

The automatic killing mechanism that deceives extraordinary people who don’t know the truth to die, and continuously produces "food" - as long as it is purified once, it will naturally end. No hands or feet will be left, no evidence will be left behind.

But things are different now.

【Do you want to protect him】

The spider rustled and laughed.

The earth is already seeping with dark green light.

But Annan could hear it very clearly... There was fear and apprehension that was well concealed in the ridicule.

He knows this feeling all too well.

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

——Grover was scared.

Under Annan's piercing eyes, he was afraid.

【Die here】

The spider screamed.

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

【You will never wake up】

【What a wonderful ending】

【What a gentle and happy death】

What spreads under Annan's feet is a poison that can kill even the illusory concepts of "earth" and "dream".

Click.

Annan slowly opened the safety cover.

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

[What can your poor pistol do? 】

【You have no silver coins or gold powder】

[There is nothing with a quantity of 7 here, and there are no other people]

【No burning coals, no cups, no moths】

[You don’t have any rituals or magic to use]

[You might as well come out, if possible, I don’t want to destroy "Alice"]

【You'd better jump into the abyss, you will die unconsciously】

“It’s so long-winded.”

Annan slowly raised his head.

Looking at the spider that returned to its eight eyes.

The corners of his mouth raised: "What are you afraid of?

"Are you... afraid of me?"

Annan took his left hand out of his arms.

It is indeed empty, holding nothing.

The only thing in his pocket was a pitiful knife.

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

"——If you die here, will you die too?"

Annan's mouth became more and more open.

He wanted to laugh, really wanted to laugh. ~IndoMTL.com~ But there was no smile in his eyes.

This is...

Am I angry?

I am angry.

So Annan spoke.

He uttered words that were difficult for humans to utter 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 fell to the ground.

The process of "poison" eroding the "earth" has been stopped.

Because at this moment——

The earth, spiders, and cobwebs—everything in sight was covered in the snow of silence in the blink of an eye.
