Chapter 237 Whose Nightmare

After Annan helped Benjamin up, it was obvious that Benjamin was silent a lot.

Or maybe it's a lot calmer?

Picking up the lamp, Benjamin continued to pull Annan forward. But he didn't look for another topic, just concentrated on finding a way.

... what did Benjamin find?

Obviously at the beginning, he never stopped talking to Evelyn...

Although in Annan's opinion, the topic the child was looking for was very embarrassing - he talked about Evelyn's fortress of the Necronomicon with great interest, just like talking about new military equipment with an artist-turned-girlfriend all afternoon Same……

I don't know how the real Evelyn will respond.

Just keep smiling and listen quietly?

"……what?"

Benjamin made a puzzled voice: "Why is this door open..."

The last time he came here, it seemed to be closed...?

"……What's wrong?"

Annan's heart tightened slightly, and he asked softly, "Where is this?"

He has noticed that in front of them is his original "birth point", which is the "prison".

"I remember this... the teacher said it."

Benjamin frowned slightly, trying to recall: "This seems to be... the place where corpses are stored."

"...corpse?"

Annan was stunned.

Isn't it a prison?

Benjamin hummed and asked worriedly, "Are you afraid? Don't watch it if you're afraid."

"...Will there still be bodies in there?"

"Definitely not."

Benjamin replied: "The Church of the Silver Lord has already been cleaned up once.

"

"Then...I want to see."

Annan made a very soft voice.

Benjamin was silent for a while, holding Annan's hand a little tighter.

"it is good."

The young Benjamin answered briefly.

He took Annan to the "prison" and raised the green fire chandelier in his hand.

Only then did Annan finally clearly see the environment inside the "prison"——

This is a public bath similar to a public space, much larger than Annan initially imagined.

Inside the zigzag-shaped room, in the middle is a low wall that used to be full of inscriptions, and now the inscriptions on it have been violently crossed out with swords. The low wall was just over a meter high, reaching exactly half the height of the room.

Around the low wall in the middle, every two meters or more, a chain hangs down with some familiar "handcuffs". In the entire room, there are about twenty such "chains and handcuffs" facilities.

Annan's initial location was only the "location" closest to the door.

"……What's this?"

Annan asked subconsciously.

Benjamin did know what it was.

"Do you know the Half-Dead Daughter?"

Benjamin replied in a low voice: "The priests of the Pale Princess are not alive... and although they are priests, they have no place in the pale tide.

"Because they are both the living and the dead; neither the living nor the dead—the Pale Tide accepts only the dead. If they want to participate in the Pale Tide, they can only anchor themselves here. "

Benjamin said, and subconsciously walked to the shackle closest to the door, which was the shackle that bound Evelyn's wrist in the dream.

Pointing to the shackles, he explained to Annan—or "Evelynn", very carefully, but absent-mindedly: "They will put their necks or wrists here, and then release their souls— - The teacher said that half-dead daughters can separate their souls from the body. But if they leave their bodies for too long, they will never return... They are no longer half-dead daughters, But homeless ghosts.

"And you see . . . there are tiny blades here. If the hoop is under heavy pressure, over time, the blade will gradually pierce and make them feel more and more pain.

"The half-dead daughter feels the more intense pain in her body, so she will not be attached to the pale tide, but will return to her body immediately. The body is the home of the soul."

"...is it like a clock?"

Annan asked.

He knows that in this era, there are already clocks that can time.

Benjamin nodded: "Yes. It's actually the kind of timer that can time a period of time... The one I showed you! It won't go like an ordinary pocket watch, but it can be accurately timed. It will flow backwards, and when it reaches 0:00, it will make a ding sound - it is said that transformation wizards have this thing, to make the experiment... um, sorry."

Realizing that he was talking and veering off topic again, Benjamin stopped abruptly.

But Annan has already obtained very crucial information——

To the half-dead daughter, the body is... the home of the soul?

He immediately remembered his main mission in the dream world.

go home……

At that moment, An Nan's pupils shrank slightly.

——In the dream world, Annan would hear the song played backwards from the reflection in the lake.

——After each death, he will return to reality from the dream.

——The task requires "Evelyn" to keep her limbs intact in the dream.

——Completing the task of sacrifice must be completed in reality.

as well as……

Princess Pale is also known as the Daughter of No Foul, and her priests, the Half-Dead Daughter, cannot fall in love with anyone.

Including themselves.

...and of course Benjamin too.

Annan glanced at Benjamin subconsciously.

He probably got it.

"Evelyn" may have been dead for a while, and that so-called dream... should be the essence of the church that the half-dead daughter's soul saw after she left her body.

Ordinary people only saw the Pale Tide once, and they would get seriously ill if they ran back to the house immediately, not to mention Evelyn who was obsessed with watching the entire Pale Princess dance up close.

She was probably dead by then.

But obviously, the pale princess is interested in her pure soul.

Just as Lord Skeleton can make the dead "Ai Lei" active for a while... "Evelynn" may be the "Ai Lei" of the Pale Princess. Half of Evelyn is now a half-dead daughter. That's why she can hear the voice of the undead, that's why she faints from time to time, and enters another world in a dream...

For Evelyn, this is a "precognitive dream".

But she did not see the future, but entered the "real pale church" in a state of soul!

Therefore, when she smashed open the "prison door" in the soul world, the door in the real world also opened wide.

The fallen soldier statue at the door may also be because the "David" in the dream violently moved it away——

Evelyn suddenly asked Benjamin to accompany her to the Pale Church, probably because the ceremony of her transformation into a half-dead daughter had to be completed by Benjamin.

"Evelyn" fell into the water and fell down the stairs again, perhaps because she instinctively refused this matter - she hoped that Benjamin could get out of here.

But if Benjamin really leaves here, she will not be able to be reborn as a half-dead daughter - unable to follow the "Dancer under the Moon", and will die completely after returning home.

This is why, in reality, Annan received the task of "can't go home"!

Because if she gave up the sacrificial ceremony, she would lose the care of the pale princess and turn into a corpse.

This may be Evelyn's original ending.

If she really loves Benjamin, with her pure heart that can be watched by the pale princess, she must not be willing to let Benjamin cut off her own head.

Therefore, the main mission Annan got actually refers to the "next main mission".

He should have to go through the "dream world" a few more times before he can get the "real" main quest that finally let him leave the nightmare!

...that being the case, there is only one question left.

——Whose nightmare is this?
