Chapter 68 In the Spider Web, only Spiders Can Be Safe
"Let me see... if my judgment is correct."
Annan said slowly.
Since this copy has only one chance to clear the customs.
Then Annan's original plan - to try to burn the mill before entering the door, this approach can not be done.
It's easy to get NE that way.
But if you want to solve the puzzle, you can't just follow the crowd.
Instead use the opposite way.
Annan had already learned of the tragic experience of the miller Ian's family from Nefertali's mouth.
——Because of the conspiracy of the Black Widow believer "Deward", the curse poison put into the mushroom. In order to save themselves, or because of the conflicts in the past, the lumberjacks pointed their finger at the only "Ian family" who was not poisoned, hoping to get the "antidote" brewed by the other party's liver.
In the end, they murdered the Ian family, and the Ian family's corpse turned into the poisonous spores that enveloped the mushroom mill, engulfing everyone in it, and from it was born the nightmare: the sporozoite mill.
And things will develop to this point... The reason for everything is just because the messenger Grover arrives a step late. He brought a message from Master Seti, but it was too late.
- Seemingly plausible development.
But if you look at these three things side by side, you can immediately see the problem:
Now that the messenger had gone to Master Seti, why didn't DeWard flee immediately?
Master Seti is the most powerful idol wizard in the Underground Federation, a true Golden Rank wizard - and he is also an "old wizard", an aged ritualist.
Why does DeWard dare to stay here? Does he think his conspiracy can fool Master Seti?
Or... Did DeWold decide in advance that Master Seti would not come back with the messenger? Or does he know when the messenger will return?
as well as.
"Messenger Grover..."
Annan asked: "Did you really go to Master Seti?"
"Of course I—"
Grover made an emotional voice,
He took a step forward and said excitedly: "Three days! Wait three more days, Master Seti is coming!"
"Wait for him to come, does it make sense?"
In the face of this exaggerated performance, Annan just asked calmly.
All the infected people, that is, the lumberjacks, have all died in the sporozoite mill. The poison no longer spreads, but is confined in the house... Does this really need Master Seti to "detoxify"?
And, since the lumberjacks suspected that someone had deliberately poisoned them, why didn't they suspect that there were followers of the Black Widow in the crowd?
Or...do they really have no doubts? No one ever doubted it?
Thinking of this step, it is already very close to the truth.
Hearing this, Grover was startled.
He looked at Annan, was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
"...It seems that I succeeded in the end."
he said cryptically.
It's like admitting his guilt.
Apparently Grover had recognized it - it was a nightmare.
"But how did you guess?"
Grover asked with interest: "How many times have you tried?"
Annan did not answer the second question.
He just replied calmly: "It's very simple, since all the parties involved have died..."
Then "the loggers suspect that someone has poisoned" and "they went to ask for an explanation".
Who else came out?
Or rather...
—Is DeWard really dead? How did they determine that DeWard was dead? Was it a ritual to confirm that the person "Deward" had passed away?
So, how to prove that the believer of Black Widow is this deceased "DeWard"?
Excluding all the impossible answers, what remains is the correct answer - not to mention, there is no second answer in front of Annan at all.
Since the only survivor on the scene was "Messenger" Grover.
Then this contradictory and bizarre narrative can only be written by Grover!
Now that you know there must be something wrong with Grover, let's assume he's behind the scenes and push back... everything becomes clear.
If DeWard and Grover were originally accomplices.
Then everything has an answer-
Why did DeWard - let's say the person who sent the message was called "DeWard" - was spreading the word that "the messenger has escaped"?
——Because they don’t want these people to wait quietly for Master Seti.
Why is DeWold so arrogant knowing that Master Seti may come at any time?
——Because he knew that the messenger either didn't look for it at all, or Master Seti would definitely not arrive in time.
Why didn't the loggers wonder if it was the hands of the Black Widow? If DeWold, the lumberjack, and the miller's family all died in the sporozoite mill, without a whole body...
The character controlled by the player, who is "Job"?
The answer is simple.
As the little bear suggested.
The first name she asked, "Who are you".
This is a hint, "Why is there the role of 'Job'".
And the second question is, "Give the name of a dead person - the name of the bystander, the name of the perpetrator, the name of the belated messenger."
There is still only one answer to this question.
It is a "bystander", a "perpetrator", and a "long overdue messenger" at the same time.
What they describe has always been the same person.
So.
Why did Job, who got lost in the forest and never entered the mill... not become "one of the survivors"?
"Because 'Job' has been killed by Grover."
Annan replied slowly: "Even if the person is dead, it can be seen that the amount of meat is not right.
"Job had to end up dying in the sporophyte mill. Otherwise, people would notice . . . an extra person.
"And if you think about it from this point of view, you can see it.
"It's full of fairytale-style puzzles, a 'gentleness' mechanic that only increases erosion by 1% per death, a deliberately leaked 'logout point'...and so many save points.
"Obviously, this is the subconscious of the subject of the nightmare, in order to 'stop Job from entering the sporozoite mill'."
Annan said slowly.
with his narration.
Behind him, the ground began to tremble and the forest began to peel away.
There is no need to "enter the fairy tale world" at all.
That is just the main body of the nightmare, a hint to the purifier.
Generally speaking, nightmares are wounds inflicted on the world by dead supernatural beings. The Will of the Nightmare will lure the Purifier into a trap... Nightmare and the Purifier are antagonistic to each other.
But there is a problem here.
if……
This nightmare subject, does not want to murder others?
The level in the middle is just to persuade them to quit.
Why is it inevitable to fail when advancing with a messenger?
This is the biggest hint that Si Anke should have noticed long ago.
"It's time to go back and make up the class."
In addition, there are many hints:
Candy House is "two people";
"Fairy tales" are false;
The guide has no five senses...
These questions are repeatedly questioning the purifiers, reminding them:
"Who is the one who guides the way?"
But unfortunately.
Over the years, no one has understood this desperate, silent cry for help.
For the one who guides the way—
"...It's a spider."
Annan sighed: "I also hope I guessed wrong, but unfortunately... I seem to have guessed right.
"Then it becomes troublesome."
Behind him, the forest fell apart and the earth turned to dust.
Except for the small spot where Annan was, the world around him had been turned into a cobweb.
It looks like a sweet and delicious cake.
Annan turned around.
The huge spider stared at him.
—Ah, yes.
"I also ignored a hint..."
Annan muttered.
Within the [Spider Web]... Naturally, only spiders can be safe and sound.
