Chapter 228 The Person Who Is Not in the Dream

"This is a burial..."

Annan realized something.

If he didn't guess wrong.

This otherworld-level nightmare...may not be generated naturally. It's impossible for the skeleton to create a nightmare that traps himself in it.

Reminiscent of the disintegration of the corpse of the last skeleton, the last rib was submerged into the earth of the Duchy of Death Song.

This is probably a "burial" ceremony.

It was at the moment when He was about to take Elle and become the real god of betrayal, Granny Bone took action... She made Duke Bone's corpse into this nightmare and used it to seal Duke Bone.

As the skeleton said.

- Burial is to forget.

To forget is to betray.

If you want to get out of this endless nightmare like eternal reincarnation... the easiest way is to keep backstabbing your teammates-to let yourself live to the end in each week.

Then gather everyone's strength and wisdom from the next week to find the answer to the puzzle... and backstab to kill other partners.

Until the mystery is completely solved, no matter whether anyone has died in this week, choose to leave directly - so the nightmare is ended.

Whether he wanted to flee or not, his surviving companions who had no memory would urge him to leave. Because they don't know how many times they have been killed by this person in the past reincarnation... This in itself is a kind of "betrayal" with extremely high purity.

It's about dreams, life and death, companionship, sacrifice, betrayal of fate.

And the person who can do this will definitely not be the skeleton man. Because the skeleton is just an NPC in this nightmare. He has no right to retain memory.

This means that this large-scale ceremony at the cost of "the death of the skeleton" will allow another person to obtain part of the truth of betrayal.

As such.

Even if the seal fails, the skeleton master escapes from it. There will be another person who will take from him a great deal of the truth of "betrayal".

Then the true and complete god of betrayal will still not be born. This sublimation ceremony may fail, or it may be born of a god weaker than the skeleton.

The ceremony of burying the mother-in-law is obvious.

Although the skeleton man gave up half of his "skeleton" of the priesthood and returned it to the earth.

But that doesn't mean that the half of it can get the complete truth of betrayal.

——This is probably because Granny Bone didn’t dare, or said she didn’t want to hand over the complete betrayal of the priesthood to Duke Bone. Because the purity of the priesthood is still very important... It is related to the "adjacent" of the gods' realm.

The Silver Sirs and the Red Knights specifically maintained the purity of their own domains.

The essence of the "transaction, trade" field held by Silver Sir is "unequivalent exchange"; because if it is completely equivalent, it is just "exchange". Based on this priesthood, he can extend his control over many fields such as currency, freight, transportation, and speculation.

And the Red Knight is just the "God of War"—that is, "purposeful violence among multiple participants." Based on the purity of this field, she can go from "weapon" to "tactics", from "knight" to "conspiracy", even "guardian" and "plunder".

like the mysterious lady,

The god of secrets and rituals. There are naturally many kinds of secrets, and there are many kinds of rituals... But when the two appear together, "secret" tends to use the interpretation of "mysterious knowledge".

But the mysterious lady is also a special case, because when she sublimated, she was not the two pages she chose from the book of truth... but the two adjacent pages that were automatically selected.

Most gods take a polynomial approach to widen their control over completely different realms - like grandma and granny. But there are also some gods who will try to purify their realm and seek more adjacent areas of control.

Once the skeleton master has obtained the pure "betrayal" priesthood, then his ability in this area will increase greatly.

The biggest difference is that his interference in the ritual can be further deepened - a medium-level ritual originally held may only allow him to obtain a curse (this curse has to be rubbed by the skeleton himself). One comes out); and after the priesthood of the skeleton is purified, the power of this curse can be directly given to others as a curse.

Without relying on the book of truth at all, through repeated optimized rituals, he reached the realm of the gods. You can even self-optimize your priesthood...

In terms of talent, Duke Bone is indeed an extraordinary genius.

In history, there were only three extraordinary people who successfully ascended to God without relying on the book of truth. The Skeleton Man, the rotten man, and the man in the mirror—except for the rotten man, the remaining two are all peerless geniuses, the kind that will not be able to produce one for hundreds of years.

And the more geniuses like this, the greater the harm to the world when they fall into evil thoughts.

It is also reasonable for the burial mother-in-law to want to seal the skeleton.

——Not to mention that the skeleton master also blew up the statue of the burial mother-in-law on the spot.

No matter how good-tempered it is, it is impossible to turn a blind eye.

Just like an old grandmother who controls the elements of "frost", the land of snowfall is her domain of gods; the mother-in-law is in control of the two strongest domains in this world... One of them is the [Earth].

If Annan guessed correctly, the mother-in-law may be the "earth" at the beginning of the world.

With the vocation of [Earth], she can appear anywhere and shake the earth anywhere. The place where they were before was underground, a secret room surrounded by the earth - which naturally belonged to the gods of the buried mother-in-law.

Without showing up at all, directly use the corpse of the skeleton to come up with a way to absolutely seal the skeleton, and create an alien-level nightmare in an instant...

...still a little unbelievable.

"Anyway, the core elements of this nightmare are Alley and Duke Bone."

Annan muttered.

The four fingers of his right hand are like waves, tapping the armrest repeatedly, while his left hand rests on his forehead, his eyes are slightly closed, and he is lost in thought.

Lord Skeleton had abandoned his identity as a god at the moment before—at least at the moment when he abandoned the god skeleton, but failed to take Elle, his identity was not a god.

This large-scale ritual of burying the bones of the mother-in-law, I am afraid, is to seal Ai Lei and the skeleton.

But if there is only Ai Lei, she may not be able to seal the skeleton. In the one-day reincarnation again and again, she will eventually collapse completely.

The existence of other people is Alley's "safety lock".

The purpose of their existence is to help Alley bear this "memory".

"...but they are my people. Tsk.

"They were the ones who obeyed my orders and went to find them; it was also because of me that Ailey was not bound in the Frozen Water Harbor."

Annan gritted his teeth, smacked his lips, and thought hard: "This is my responsibility... This is my responsibility. Tsk...

"...Even if it is Samsara Eternal Tribulation, I have to bring them back."

What else is there to do...

How can I notify them? How can we break this reincarnation nightmare?

What is the significance of Ellie as the core of the nightmare? Does she have a memory? No, she shouldn't have. The other people were directly dragged into nightmares by their mother-in-law just to relieve Alley's memory pressure.

And because Ellie has no obvious desire to live, she will not take the initiative to become the last survivor. But if she becomes the last survivor, that would be the best outcome-according to the design of the buried mother-in-law, the person who finally breaks the nightmare as the captain can get at least half of the truth of "betrayal". If it was Ellie...

...the last survivor?

Elle?

"……Wait a moment."

Annan's fingers stopped suddenly.

He thought of something and suddenly opened his eyes.

He immediately jumped out of his chair and walked three and two steps to the mirror that had communicated with Salvatore before.

——He leaned on the mirror with both hands, staring at his left eye.

It has an emerald green gemstone luster and is the left eye of an angel.

It was the left eye that Alley had given him.

The moment he saw that eye, Annan sighed in his mind.

That's what I said after hearing Elle's Sanctuary:

[…You are much stronger than Duke Bone. If only you were the god of betrayal—]

Annan exclaimed at the time.

[...she will be the 'betrayer', watching the actions of the betrayal; and I will be the 'betrayer', listening to the wailing of the betrayed. 】

The skeleton at the time said so.

"If only you were the god of betrayal..."

Annan repeated.

He realized something and slowly touched his left eye.

With your index finger, touch the eyeball.

No pain at all.

Feels like jade.

"This time it's..."

Annan muttered.

"I'm looking?"
