Wu Jian quickly shakes his head and turns his thoughts elsewhere. He realises that this scene may not only have been to help him regain his sanity, but also to help them know the truth without having to investigate.
Its like a cheat.
This lets them leave the scene smoothly, without even having to go through the repetitions of the Nightmare.
It sure is pretty easy.
Though when Wu Jian sees the door floating into existence in the grey fog, he cant help but look back around, to look at the people in the stadium, insane, or silent, or confused, and thinks, please wait for us.
We will save you, all We definitely will.
X Beijin is a bit stumped.
As he finds his consciousness drifting away and his vision tunnelling
the Nightmare is eating at his mind more and more deeply.
Even being inside the grey fog cant alleviate his sweating any. He feels completely drained
likely sothing delusion from the effects on his brain.
If soone is hypnotised and convinced he is dead, and his brain believes it without a doubt, then would it make sense to call him dead?
While trying to resist the feeling, X Beijin tries to use black humour to consider the matter piquing his curiosity all this ti
what state is NE really in?
Hes trying to kill him, and also trying to save him?
For an artificial intelligence, would such a conflicting command just cause it to shut down directly?
While mocking NE inside, X Beijin is already gasping in pain. Half of his vision has gone dark; or is it simply that his eyelids are shut in one eye?
He doesnt think he can see what is in front of him clearly, but thats not the case No. He can feel it. He can feel sothing chaotic.
He is both awake and asleep. He is both lucid and insane. He is going to beco a walking corpse.
He wonders if this ending is whatthose peoplewish for him. Or rather, it is what they arranged for him.
It is simply because he has avoided the Nightmare all these years that this end for him has been delayed for so long.
Long enough that even he is surprised to actually co across a ray of hope after the delaying tactic.
This supposed end of his has beco more subtly uncertain, like having a veil cast on it, from NE himself switching stances.
He cant help but want to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
He can feel wave after wave of a dizziness taking over his mind, his nerves, like a strengthening earthquake. It makes him feel as if his head is filled up with water, sloshing, sloshing
A long ti later, X Beijin thinks he has adapted to the sensation a little.
He touches his forehead, and thinks his fingertips would co across a whole streak of cold sweat, but in actuality, there was nothing.
Just like how his physical exhaustion is rely a trick on his mind, the ntal pain and suffering, seems not to have been reflected on the body he is using in this ga at all.
Its all fake.
X Beijin quietly mumbles.
Then he suddenly feels a rather deep sense of doubt. He always thought he could deal with it all, and he can stay by himself in this damned Tower forever. But now, he cant help but feel like backtracking. His confidence is wavering.
So kind of cold, authoritative consciousness from a higher plane of existence is telling him from on high, that he must.
X Beijin is wondering, though, that wouldnt he really go crazy? Hes genuinely, humorously wondering, if he really wouldnt?
If you ask him, he doesnt think hes really that stalwart in mind.
Even if he did manage to resist sleep all these years.
X Beijin is not sure what he really thinks, now.
He quiets down for a little, before mustering what attention he could to look at the Cell Nightmare that Lin Qin is in.
Why Lin Qin? He wonders.
Then he hastily gives himself an excuse
because Lin Qin has such a powerful and inexplicable intuition that can understand what he thinks, right? Thats what Lin Qin has always done.
Though to be honest, right now, Lin Qin is possibly more frustrated than X Beijin is.
He is trapped in an amusent park.
Amusent parkWhen the madness spreads through humanity, ha, surely an amusent park would be near the top of the list of locations by danger. No doubt about it.
Though in reality, the Missiontakers in the Tower only encounter Nightmares related to amusent parks very rarely.
Fundantally, it probably has to do with the fact that the Nightmares featuring amusent parks, have Collapsed a long ti ago as the Nightmare owners have succumbed.
The more difficult, or rather, the more nauseating a Nightmare is, the quicker it crumbles.
Even in Nightmares in the higher floors, the Tower residents still cannot compare toX Beijin in how resilient they are ntally and maintain their lucidity all these years.
They might last a while, but they will also fail eventually and end up sleeping while both sane and insane.
Then its over. They are ensnared by their Nightmares. They know best how dangerous their Nightmares, and as the Nightmare owners, the most terrifying part of the Nightmares they are assigned to, would obviously first afflict the Nightmare owners with ntal degradation.
This ans that Nightmare owners who end up seeing amusent parks are extrely unfortunate. They would be ntally ground without fail, and then there is nothing else.
A mind may fail over ti from continuous stress, but also possibly break from a montary burst of pressure.
In any case, right now, Lin Qin finds himself inside of a Nightmare whose owner may have gone insane in a single mont.
Its a Nightmare about an amusent park.
If you ask so people whats the scariest ride in an amusent park, a lot of people might answer the haunted house, or the rollercoaster ride, but if anything is equally as terrifying as its na would suggest it to be, it is likely thedrop tower.
Literally.
This amusent park features one about a hundred tres tall
the drop from the top is about equivalent to falling down from the thirty-sothing floors of a tall building.
Of course, a normal, regulated amusent park, in consideration for guest safety, would clearly employ much more gradual and safe chanisms for movent during the fall.
But imagine this
if the drop tower featured no deceleration or gradual acceleration, and simply went up and down at its topmost speed, and never stopped to let its guests off What would you feel?
Well, it turns out Lin Qin doesnt feel much. He is even looking at the scenery in boredom.
He isnt at all terrified of this trick.
The sensation of weight loss and rapid changes in the forces applied to his body practically has no effect on his body and mind.
At most, he just feels that its quite blurry to see, but it doesnt affect him too much either.
This is simply like a boring, silly and detestable physical test to him.
The wind continues whirring past his ears, making him feel sleepy. He yawns quietly.
Right now, the carousel is at the very top of the drop tower.
Then it pauses montarily, and then, slowly slides down, until it cos to a complete stop.
Lin Qin tries to move the restraining bars of the carousel, but it doesnt budge. Hes about to use his full force on it when soone approaches the stopped drop tower.
The person has an elegant swallow tail coat on with brilliant blond hair, and he stops in front of Lin Qin.
He says with a heightened and sowhat pretentious tone, I welco you, mister to the Colosseum.
