The Creator's voice was gone, and the dimly lit room returned to its former tranquility, the dilapidated tables and chairs and clutter of objects continuing to be buried by the quicksands of time as if nothing had happened.

It was eerily quiet, except for the humming of tinnitus.

If you stay in absolute silence for a long time, anyone will go crazy.

The only thing that had changed was that a few more swarthy pillars had appeared in the center of the room, slowly floating around the steel bed. The dark pillars were somewhat similar to those seen on the altar before.

It's just a lot smaller.

A dark red figure stood beside the bed, silent and standing, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, he reached out his bandaged right hand and stroked the perimeter of the bed. The spotless sheet steel bed was at odds with the dusty and shattered debris, and it seems that the Creators had gone through a lot of experience to preserve these pillars and sheets of steel through countless ages.

What the Star Creator finally said was what he was going to do if Charlotte himself was going to destroy the world, or if another traveler in this world was going to destroy the world?

And how to avoid the ending that is fixed and swallowed by the ring of original sin?

"Choice?"

When the Star Creator had given the choice to the current Charlotte before the countless eras. No matter how dark and hopeless the future is, it is time to make a decision now.

How should I choose?

"Hmph, hehe. The boy's laughter echoed through the silent room like self-deprecation.

Isn't the answer already in my mind?

Didn't the choice already make a decision at the moment of stepping out of Longdu Mansion?

The end of the world or something...

Devoured by original sin or something...

"It's my business. ”

With a smile on his face, the boy jumped to his feet with one hand on the side of the bed, quickly took off his dark red cloak, and lay down on the steel bed.

In an instant, the dark bamboo surrounding the bed shook violently.

As if trembling, excited.

Now we have to think about saving the world or something, with Charlotte's current strength, it's basically a wild talk.

After all, Morey is still waiting outside, and I don't know when the pursuit of Longdu Mansion will come.

If there's a chance to save the world in the future, pull it up.

If you can meet another traverser, then beat him up first, and then talk about the glory of socialism.

If you want to be consumed by original sin, then...

... More on that later.

With the violent vibration of the dark pillar, the mechanism on the pillar was suddenly opened, and a series of brackets stretched out, connecting all the pillars.

And the iron bed where Charlotte was lying suddenly stretched out several silver ropes like vines, binding the joints on his body to his body.

(What kind of play is this?)

Charlotte tried to move her body, but was surprised to find that the silver ropes were so strong that no matter how hard she tried, her body could not move for half a minute.

When the surrounding pillars stopped, Charlotte came to her senses and found that there was an extra diamond-shaped iron plate on top of her head, with a circular notch like a pinhole in the middle, supported by the brackets protruding from the surrounding pillars.

Unfortunately, there was not enough light in this room, and I could only see that the diamond-shaped iron plate above my head faintly emitted a faint blue light, flowing like flowing water along the carved lines on the iron plate.

Just as he was curious about what was about to happen, suddenly a slender needle about twenty centimeters stretched out from the circular pinhole in the diamond-shaped iron plate, and finally a silver rope strangled Charlotte's neck and jaw, and her head could not be turned.

A ray of infrared-like light shot from the elongated tip of the needle, landing in the middle of Charlotte's right pupil.

Then, the diamond-shaped iron plate slowly began to descend.

(Isn't it...) ）

As the slender pins drew closer, the silver shadow gradually diminished in the reflection of Charlotte's pupils.

The eyeball of the right eye subconsciously turns, but the diamond-shaped iron plate also moves, and the infrared rays emitted from the tip of the needle follow the rotation of the eyeball, always falling in the middle of the pupil.

It's like you're locked in.

Two meters, the distance between the slender needle puncture on the top of the head and the eyeball

The boy subconsciously wanted to break free from his bound body, but he couldn't break free because of the tenacity of the silver rope.

This kind of needle-piercing scene plot is Charlotte clearly remembers appearing in a certain horror game, and because the 'vision' is too shocking, he is very impressed.

But Charlotte never dreamed that such a plot would happen to her.

One meter, the distance between the slender needle puncture on the top of the head and the eyeball.

(,!)

Once again, the limbs began to shake violently, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break free from the damn ropes.

At this time, he had already begun to regret it.

By the way, in that horror game, what happens if the needle prick is not aimed at the middle of the pupil, but is inserted crookedly?

It seems to be...

... Will it Game_Over?

At this moment, he remembered that in the game, if the infrared light was not aimed at the eyeball and the needle prick was crooked, the system in the game would not be able to recognize that the needle prick had successfully pierced the eye, but would increase the speed and continue to decrease.

Until it pierces the head of the game's protagonist.

(Damn, this is playing with snakes?!)

0.5 meters.

Charlotte took a deep breath to try to calm herself, the sound of heavy breathing being distinct in the silence of the room.

His limbs had given up resisting, and he tried to calm down with all his might to align the infrared rays in a good position, but the excessive tension caused the backlash, and his eyes began to roll unconsciously.

(Calm down!It's okay, it's okay...) ）

0.2 meters.

The needles were too close to the eye to focus, and only the blurred outline of the sharp needles could be seen, with a blinding red glow.

0.1 meter.

The sound of breathing and heart seemed to stop, and the tinnitus gradually amplified in Charlotte's ears.

In the next instant, a slender, sharp needle pierced the pupil of Charlotte's right eye.

The indescribable pain poured from the eyeball into her brain, and through the neurofeedback of the pupil of the punctured eye, Charlotte could clearly feel that the pinprick was getting deeper.

"Ah--!!h

"Ah----!!!h

When the slender needle prick was about to pierce the eyeball, it suddenly stopped.

One was like electricity, and it was like a liquid, flowing into his eyeballs.

In his field of vision, it was already pitch black.

He no longer knew if he would be able to stay awake or not.

Some fonts began to appear in his vision, either as a gift from the Star Creator to Charlotte, or as an illusion from pain.
