Chapter 532: Chapter 73: How Come It’s Gone Before I Even Hit It?_1

"Huh?"

Jiu’er made a confused sound.

I haven’t even started yet.

How did you just finish everything?

Since Annan entered the Nightmare, Jiu’er had made several cups of honey citrus tea and served them to the people chatting outside. She then got some fruit brought by Niusel, cut it, put it on a fruit plate, and returned to her room.

She had planned to stay in her room, eating fruit and reading casually... They had already mentioned the special traits of this Nightmare to Annan when they were chatting leisurely at the tavern before.

After all, Annan wasn’t like a player; it didn’t matter how he died.

They were still worried though, that if Annan died too many times inside, he might not be able to be saved...

According to Niusel’s words, quite a few people had already died in this Nightmare.

Although they believed Annan wouldn’t die in a place like this—the difficulty of this Nightmare seemed to be about the same as the gallery—they still mentioned to Annan that this Nightmare had a "safe exit," just in case.

Of course, due to the players’ negligence.

Nobody actually told Annan the correct way to use the safe exit.

Jiu’er thought Si’anke had mentioned it, Lin Yiyi thought her younger brother had definitely said it, and Si’anke thought Jiu’er would tell Annan... It wasn’t until Jiu’er went out to get the fruit just now that they realized they had made such a basic mistake.

But luckily, Annan had already learned about the fact that "you can exit through the safe exit when you see the Faceless Man." Having almost 70% of the answer, it wouldn’t be too much trouble to actively search for it... Dying a few times should be enough to figure it out.

Not just Jiu’er, but the other players also didn’t think Annan could catch up with them on his first attempt at the dungeon.

They were planning to wait for Annan to escape—given Annan’s intelligence, it should take about four or five hours for him to find a way out.

They could then have dinner together. And during dinner, let Si’anke spoiler for Annan what the subsequent stages were like, and how to solve the challenge using the strategy they had developed over nearly two weeks.

It wasn’t until Annan got the walkthrough for the dungeon that he could officially start.

...But what they never expected was

——that Annan had inexplicably cleared the game.

Jiu’er: ?

I just went out for a walk... It was at most half an hour.

And now everything seems to have changed drastically?

The petite black-haired girl was completely baffled.

Only then did she realize that her room had taken on a strange appearance—

The windows were covered with a thick layer of frost flowers, and frost marks could also be seen on the walls; after Jiu’er opened the door, the chill in the room had already begun to dissipate rapidly, but at a height close to the ground, wisps of cold air could still be seen slowly drifting away.

It was like opening a refrigerator and being hit in the face with a cloud of white chill.

As for the cup of tea she placed on the table—it had completely frozen into a lump of ice.

"This is the power that overflowed from my dream,"

Giralda said.

The moment their eyes met, Jiu’er suddenly felt chills down her spine and that eerie sensation made her scalp tingle instantly.

How to describe it... it was like the moment you realize the teacher is asking questions when you haven’t been paying attention to class at all, and you notice the teacher’s gaze turning towards you while many others have already stood up.

A sense of crisis, fear, and feeling utterly exposed bound up Jiu’er’s heart.

——Wait, what’s going on?

"Ah, sorry."

Giralda realized something.

He quickly averted his gaze and spoke softly, "I’m still not very good at controlling this power.

"I’ll try to adapt quickly so I won’t cause you any trouble."

...When did His Highness Annan become so powerful?

Jiu’er, in a daze, felt as though she had missed an entire expansion pack.

In her impression, Annan was a bit stronger than those players but only to a certain extent. Without cheating by using the Philosopher’s Stone, Annan was only a level higher than the lowest-ranking players.

Moreover, Annan was neither a bishop of a True God nor a Ritualist.

Logically speaking, he should have been completely equal to the players in the nightmare.

Yet, during his first encounter with this nightmare, Annan had completed "Nightmare: Sporogenesis Mill" in just half an hour.

How did he do it?

Even without dying once, half an hour wasn’t enough to reach the mill, right?

Half an hour... You probably wouldn’t even meet the faceless man.

Jiu’er remembered that just walking at the beginning took a continuous hour. Mainly because going back to kill the messenger took too much time, as you had to walk there and then back again.

Could it be that His Highness Annan directly dismantled the nightmare?

"...Could you tell us about it?"

Jiu’er asked with some curiosity, "How did you cleanse this nightmare?

"You know, we need to cleanse nightmares to build a teleportation array here..."

"I’m sorry. I’ve already completely purified it."

Giralda shrugged helplessly.

He pointed to the frayed rope at his ankle: "You see, even the ’key’ has crumbled.

"That is one of the indications that the nightmare is over."

"...I see."

Jiu’er muttered with a hint of disappointment.

Darn, I haven’t had enough fun yet...

But... His Highness Annan really is strong.

"Here, all of us combined have died over a hundred times,"

Jiu’er admitted candidly, "I never imagined that you could cleanse it directly."

They needed to cleanse three nightmares here to successfully construct the teleportation array.

Those common-difficulty nightmares were easy to find; after all, it was impossible not to have any deaths here... The Underworld didn’t have clergymen to cleanse nightmares regularly.

After learning that they had died over sixty times, Niusel provided them with some simple nightmares.

The Four Dark Deities didn’t participate because they were focusing on getting through Sporogenesis Mill. Later on, his corrosion level had reached a dangerous level, and he could no longer enter any nightmare.

Aside from the Four Dark Deities, Jiu’er and Lin Yiyi had already cleansed two nightmares each while waiting here, completing two-thirds of their personal missions.

As long as they got through Sporogenesis Mill once, Lin Yiyi and Jiu’er’s missions here would be completed. They could leave — the only reason they hadn’t just finished was their stubborn desire to help Niusel and the others resolve the "Sporogenesis Mill" nightmare.

So subconsciously, they never entertained the thought of "finishing the mission and then running away."

Or rather, they still hadn’t realized the danger of Sporogenesis Mill.

First, help cleanse this nightmare —

That was the players’ thinking.

Thanks to their immortality, they didn’t consider the nightmare to be particularly dangerous or terrifying.

Instead, it was brimming with challenge —

When Jiu’er learned that the difficult nightmare had been cleansed, her reaction was not one of relief, thinking "Finally, I can rest," but of astonishment, thinking "Damn, I haven’t played it yet, how could it be gone? Is this raid time-limited? I regret this."

...Truly hardheaded.

Annan noticed the players’ thoughts.

He showed a relieved smile.

Good, a little hardheadedness is beneficial.

Since Annan had decided to walk the path of Justice... the players definitely had to follow suit.

"Bring in Four Dark Deities and Lin Yiyi, and I’ll cleanse your corrosion levels first. Then, I will tell you a story... about ’Alice’."
