Annan has actually vaguely felt part of the rules of this nightmare.

Thanks to the curse of "Endymion who will never be born".

With this curse, Annan’s left shoulder must be exposed to a light source of sufficient intensity. If it does not absorb light, it will gradually become burning.

After the thirteenth hour, every second will feel like being pressed against this place by a red soldering iron. And it's the kind that doesn't lift up.

This is not an "illusion" that only exists in the senses.

It's not just punitive phantom pain.

When others touch this curse pattern with their palms, they can actually feel the heat-the usual heat, which is probably like a bowl of freshly soaked cup noodles. If the person holding this curse was an ordinary person, the heat alone would be deadly.

But if the highest level of heat is maintained-even if its pain can be masked or weakened by some means, the remaining heat is enough to destroy Annan's body.

As a warning, it was not that it suddenly turned into deadly heat after thirteen hours of non-absorption. Instead, the temperature starts to rise slowly after the light source is cut off for a period of time, and the temperature rises more obviously later, and the first five or six hours has little effect.

Annan had tried it before. The red moon outside the window was just a phantom, and the TV set really shined. Although the intensity of this light is not enough, it should be enough if it just maintains the curse and does not continue to deteriorate.

——However, the premise for this is that Annan takes the initiative to move in.

And Annan was actually sitting on the bed, far away from the TV,

Not to protect eyesight...

It was that after he watched the videotape of Isaac, he had a speculation.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Annan intends to activate his curse on purpose——

But as a result, Annan stayed here and watched the video for a long time...According to the length of the plot, it probably has been at least half a month.

But Annan's curse was not triggered at all.

Not only that, Annan was not sleepy or hungry. He did not eat, drink, or excrete.

Although a golden-level transcendent, it is not impossible to temporarily cancel these functions of his own. But Annan didn't take any action at all... But he found that he had never been hungry at all.

——It's like the time here has been stopped.

"What I fear, fear, despair the most...what is it?"

Annan murmured in a low voice, got up and started looking for the remaining clues in the room.

In the drawer, under the bed, under the pillow, under the mattress...

What surprised Annan was that the information he could find was actually quite a lot.

He found a piece of withered paper in the drawer.

There are nine Arabic numerals on it like a computer keyboard.

And there are eight red lines running through these numbers to form a three-digit number group.

These lines were extended, and some words that could be understood by Annan were written on them.

Annan only knew a part of it—because these were not written in the Misty Continent, but in French mixed with a part of English. If it was in English, Annan would have no problem reading it, but he only knew a small part of French.

【Penser】、【Lavolonté】、【Lachair】、【】、【Jugement】……

Following these incomplete runes, Annan looked for the corresponding one by one.

"Does Ingrid correspond to... [Thinking]? Probably that's what it means?"

Annan thought carefully: "Orphee's poem corresponds to [action], and I don’t understand the counterpart of the predecessor who wrote the skywheel poem. And the dim world in which Isaac is in, the corresponding should be [ruling]... …"

Among these eight words, only one word was crossed out.

That is the only missing videotape [357].

But Annan can still see the words above.

"……mercy?"

Annan murmured, "Am I [compassion]?"

Ingrid is thinking... what is she thinking? What is there to think about in her plan?

Orpheus' actions-but he has nothing to do?

Or……

Annan immediately changed his thinking direction.

"Isaac is a verdict. But in his world, there is nothing to verdict—so, does [the verdict] refer to what he is doing?"

In a world where there are cognitive filters between each other, everyone is guilty and everyone is innocent.

Without understanding each other, they killed their own kind and drastically reduced the number of their kind.

In other words, when Isaac finds a way to remove his cognitive filter, he will fall into "true despair." At that time, all he can do is "rule."

For one part of life, deprive another part of people's life.

At that time, I'm afraid he will be so painful that he can't wait to wear a cognitive filter.

It is precisely because Isaac is a kind person that he will be tortured by this mentality.

...And the same can be deduced.

When Ingrid fell into "real despair", all he could do was "think."

Because she can't do anything.

She could not move, nor could she contact anyone other than the "Devil". She was even deprived of her vision, and the devil would never care what she was talking about or what she wanted to think-that was the real "I love you but what to do with you".

Not even as good as it was at the beginning.

At that time, although she was unable to act, she was also deprived of a lot of strength.

But she can still fight the savages. She can also communicate with other people to alleviate her loneliness-and she is above her, in fact, her humanity is no longer strong anymore.

Without the sudden aggression of the "Devil", she would be confident that she could regain her freedom sooner or later.

It was precisely because she was pregnant, that kind of fear brought her back to the realm of "mortal", regained her humanity, and began to think about gains and losses.

In other words, she can only think after [despair]-nothing else can be done.

Then using this logic to read Orphee’s poems is easy to understand. When he realized that the planet was actually dead and empty. When only these robots who do not understand art and cannot communicate with him are left... all he can do is [action].

He must do something, or he will be drowned in the endless loneliness and silence sooner or later~lightnovelpub.net~ At the beginning, Orpheus did "act". But it wasn't until he was really desperate that he began to "act".

The same goes for Isaac and Ingrid.

In the beginning, Isaac commanded the young soldiers to "against the Zerg", and obviously he needed some "judgment". But until he realizes the real despair, he will understand what the "judgment" and "ruling" he really needs to make.

"And the one that belongs to me..."

Annan's pupils shrank slightly.

He realized something, and gradually became nervous: "It's... [Pity]?

"So, do I have ‘compassion’ now? If so, what am I pitying? Under what circumstances... will I begin to truly [compassion]?

"What is the real pity?"
