Chapter 95 Brother Sledgehammer and the Fragments of the Diary

"Hey, what a miserable death..."

Annan smacking his lips with relish.

He's in Roseburg now, watching the live stream watching the corpse.

Salvatore had already slept-his activity time was limited, so he couldn't show Annan's body first, and then make up his sleep during the day after confirming his authority... He had a serious lack of sleep time, and he had to sleep at three o'clock in the morning. fall asleep.

So Annan could only follow him and temporarily live back to the Viscount Mansion in Roseburg.

Salvatore went to bed while he kept vigil with the Viscount.

- By the way, watch the horror game live.

Although the shell was burnt to black, it was fortunate that the Viscount Mansion was big enough. The room inside was fine.

With this hammer down, Child God becomes Child Sauce.

And the death effect is very shocking——

The moment the wandering child turned his head, he saw a huge hammer smashing the glass window, accompanied by a whistling sound like wind and thunder... smashing straight into his face.

His vision blurred and shattered instantly, and his consciousness disappeared directly.

That strong sense of death shock can even be transmitted to the audience through the live broadcast.

Even the barrage stopped for a while.

Because even the audience was equally intimidated.

After being blank for a few seconds, the sparse barrage slowly picked up:

"--Fuck, it seems a little emotional!"

"—This is a trigger for death, I don't think the child is hiding."

"—Run away after taking the note! Don't worry about the things behind you, don't look back... This should also be a chasing battle."

"—I think it makes sense, this Hammer brother is the one on the second floor no matter what."

"—If you are caught up on the second floor, it should be the same execution animation..."

This should be the first serious turn around to kill this nightmare.

Unlike the players, Annan knew the "don't look back" warning from the start.

But obviously, this warning refers not to "go back and die immediately", but to "can't go back at certain nodes".

After all, Annan's strategy is inherited from the Lewis priest.

In this instance, all memory will be lost upon failure. So Louis can only plan a behavior pattern for himself before entering the dungeon... and then summarize the commonalities of his behavior pattern after clearing the level.

Therefore, his strategy must be incomplete and incomplete.

Annan did not tell the players this strategy, but also to not restrain their creativity. Otherwise, they will inevitably try to follow Annan's strategy, and they will only search for easter eggs after clearing the customs... and this is equivalent to limiting their thinking.

If you want to take full advantage of the player's immortality, you have to let them die a few times.

The so-called talent is not enough, time will come together. What doesn't kill me can only make me stronger... that's where the player's advantage lies.

Every life you give - as long as you don't give it for nothing, you will get something.

Like homeless children.

The letter he got from the window was actually very crucial.

Annan did not pick up the letter at the time.

This is the clue that Annan missed.

If everything went well and he didn't stay in place just now, triggering the chase... Then according to the normal process, the homeless child should meet Brother Sledgehammer again at the end of the corridor, and then enter "Nightmare: Elle Morrison" go.

In this way, when he saw Elle's diary, he could immediately realize that the letter was part of the diary... the part that she tore off. It can also be noticed that Alley's diary is the key clue.

The reason why she said it was torn down is because Annan clearly saw that the diary only had a single page - this is actually very unnatural.

Generally speaking, when writing a diary, it should be filled with both sides.

No one will avoid it in particular, and only use one page to write it. And when Annan read Elle's diary before, she did write two pages full.

This shows that before Ellie wrote the next diary, she felt that this was not good and tore it down.

So, who is it in the hands of?

The diary fragments in the envelope were neatly folded. Presumably the person who sent this letter must cherish this letter very much.

Annan also noticed that Brother Sledgehammer's eyes were the same emerald green as Elle.

Then, before entering the dream of "Elle Morrison", Amos said "Baker... Please..."

A word flashed through Annan's mind.

- Alle Morrison, real name is Alle Barker.

This was the news he saw in the newspapers forty-five years ago. It is information that players cannot know.

So, that Sledgehammer is Elle's biological father?

But isn't he dead?

Is he actually not dead...or is he resurrected after his death to settle accounts with Amos?

... In this way, Annan can actually agree with Brother Sledgehammer's revenge.

After all, his wife and daughter had a relationship with Amos, and his daughter almost gave birth to a child to Amos. Brother Sledgehammer wants to come and smash Amos's dog's head, which is completely understandable...

The diary of this day that Alley tore down is also very crucial.

Because only by getting this letter, can I understand why "Dad was painting in front of the garden, and he couldn't finish painting halfway through, and then he tore up the painting".

Now Amos Morrison, painting needs to start from the bones, in order to have that magical charm - the paint he got can only be used to paint people. So when he painted landscapes, he could feel a "drastic, intolerable regression".

It is the diary of this day that can truly reflect the strange state of Amos. Combined with the contents of the diary on the last day, that is, "June 10th"... A homeless child can realize that there is key information in the "study".

——In this way, the information of the entire copy can be connected in series.

This puzzle is similar to the combination lock puzzles commonly found in horror games.

Write this set of numbers on a wall somewhere or on a slip of paper somewhere. This number is the password of a certain combination lock.

Of course, if there are not many digits in the password, you can try it out by force...

When Annan attacked the nightmare himself, he relied on his quick search ability to search the entire room. It was only confirmed that there were clues in the diary - and he went straight to the study, just because the word was mentioned in the diary, he made up his mind without hesitation.

This is purely relying on Annan's powerful action, which compresses his action time.

Annan suddenly realized what was the most critical element in this dungeon... In fact, there were hints at the very beginning.

--time.

In the beginning, the player played the role of Amos, whose internal organs were wounded and bleeding. His liver or kidneys were injured and he couldn't move for long. And the chasing battle caused by Brother Sledgehammer, who frequently entered in disorder, was also further oppressing time.

In the "Alle Morrison" level, whether or not Amos can read the books in the study before returning home directly determines the next development. And the task of "live until dawn" still emphasizes time.

"Don't waste your time...?"

This is the core mechanism of this copy.

Annan was a little enlightened.

If Annan guessed correctly, the real mechanism of this nightmare is not "don't look back", but "don't stop".

The homeless child almost went the right way...

If he walked all the way, opened the window at the door, walked over to take the letter, and ran all the way after reading it... At this time, Brother Sledgehammer should have just broken through the window.

This is probably why in the CG, Brother Sledgehammer would appear behind Annan inexplicably.

It turned out that according to the internal logic of this nightmare, Annan should have read the letter first and triggered the chase before escaping into the trail and triggering this "CG".

Amos already knew that someone was chasing him, so he shouted "Balk don't kill me". He just wanted to be chased and lost, so he took the dark path, the purpose was to try to get the other party to go to the next floor from the bright place, and he was hiding. In the end, it was blocked to a dead end.

——In this way, the whole logic is connected. Every detail is logical...

"Sure enough, it is rewarding to let players play dungeons..."

Annan muttered, returning the child's live broadcast.

If nothing else, he should follow the barrage's instructions and go to the third floor again.

"Let me be healthy, what's going on with the others..."

He wants to see...

What are the other layers of nightmares like?
