SECRET N ° 221 WINNERS


Chapter 3: The Eternal Celebration

Frost emerges from a portal and finds himself plunged into a world bursting with color—a striking contrast to the desolate landscapes he has traversed so far. Brightly painted alleys stretch before him, filled with floating balloons and luminous garlands that dance in the air like fireflies. Electrifying music reverberates through the atmosphere, a hypnotic melody emanating from everywhere and nowhere at once. The walls are adorned with psychedelic murals, smiling faces stretching and distorting before his eyes.

A young woman suddenly appears before him, radiating vitality with her green pigtails and slightly tilted sunglasses. Her smile seems sincere, but her bright eyes exude an unsettling, almost artificial gleam.

— "Welcome to the Eternal Celebration!" she exclaims in a crystalline voice. "Here, everyone is happy, and everything is perfect. You've arrived just in time to dance with us!"

Frost remains silent, his senses on high alert. This world, though aesthetically pleasing, carries a profoundly disquieting aura. The colors are too vivid, almost aggressive, and the sweet scent in the air seems to mask something chemical, something false.

He moves slowly through the crowded streets. Everywhere, people dance, laugh, and cheer. But their movements are mechanical, like puppets controlled by invisible strings. Their smiles, wide and dazzling, never reach their eyes. Frost notices some stumbling and falling, yet no one helps them up. They remain on the ground, still laughing despite their injuries. He approaches one of them, a man with gray skin and sunken cheeks. His eyes are dilated, vacant, as if he sees nothing.

— "Are you okay?" Frost demands, gripping the man lightly.

The man bursts into hoarse laughter, pink foam seeping from his mouth.

— "Everything's fine! The party is perfect!" he murmurs before collapsing, lifeless.

Frost straightens, his heartbeat quickening. This is not a world of joy but a grotesque illusion, orchestrated by a force he does not yet understand.

Shadows Behind the Colors

The green-haired woman reappears at his side as if by magic, holding a pink balloon in her hand.

— "You haven't tasted our nectar yet? It makes everything more beautiful, more alive. Come on, try it!" she says, offering him the balloon.

— "What is it?" Frost asks, wary.

— "Just a little breath of happiness. It's free. Everything here is free!"

He takes the balloon but instead of inhaling, he punctures it with a knife. A dense, multicolored vapor escapes, and instantly, the surroundings begin to waver. The murals on the walls start to melt, the vibrant colors fading into dull tones, revealing cracked and decrepit walls underneath. The music becomes discordant, an unbearable screeching that vibrates in Frost's ears.

The once-laughing and dancing people begin collapsing one by one. Some cling desperately to their balloons, while others scream as if their worst nightmares have just materialized before them.

The young woman backs away, her smile vanishing, replaced by an expression of panic.

— "Why are you doing this?! You're ruining everything!" she shouts.

Frost grabs her by the arms.

— "What is this place? Who's controlling all of this?"

She bursts into tears, her tears mixing with the paint that starts to run from her face, revealing pale, sickly skin underneath.

— "This is our refuge... our paradise... we have nothing else..."

The Truth Behind the Mask

Frost finally reaches the center of the city, a large square where a massive machine stands. Its gears turn slowly, releasing clouds of colorful vapor that spread through the air. At its base, dozens of inert bodies are piled up, some still clutching their balloons.

He realizes this machine is the source of the collective illusion. It distributes a hallucinogenic gas that keeps the inhabitants in a state of forced happiness. Those who can no longer endure its effects eventually die, their bodies discarded like mere refuse.

Frost approaches the machine and notices a rusty lever. The young woman follows, her face contorted with fear.

— "Don't do this, I beg you!" she screams. "If you stop the machine, everything we have will disappear!"

— "What you have is not life. It’s a prison," Frost replies.

He pulls the lever, and the machine grinds to a halt with a deafening screech. The clouds of vapor dissipate, and the world around him literally crumbles. The colors vanish, leaving behind a gray, ruined city where survivors wander aimlessly, their faces etched with years of dependence and oblivion.

A New Step

Frost leaves the desolate city, his heart heavy. This world, like the others, was a testament to the extremes humanity can go to in order to escape suffering. As he steps through another portal, he wonders if the secret he truly seeks is the shared cause behind all these shattered worlds. But he doesn’t yet have all the answers, and the road ahead remains long.

Chapitre 3 : La Fête Éternelle

Frost émerge d'un portail et se retrouve plongé dans un monde éclatant de couleurs, un contraste saisissant avec les paysages moribonds qu'il a traversés jusqu'ici. Des ruelles peintes de teintes vives s'étendent devant lui, envahies par des ballons flottants et des guirlandes lumineuses qui dansent dans l'air comme des lucioles. La musique électrisante résonne dans l'atmosphère, une mélodie hypnotique qui semble jaillir de partout et nulle part à la fois. Les murs sont ornés de fresques psychédéliques, des visages souriants qui s'étirent et se distordent sous ses yeux.

Une jeune femme surgit devant lui, éclatante de vitalité, avec ses cheveux verts attachés en couettes et ses lunettes de soleil légèrement décalées sur son devant. Son semble sourire sincère, mais ses yeux, bien que brillants, dégagent une lueur troublante, presque artificielle.

— "Bienvenue dans la Fête Éternelle !" s'exclame-t-elle d'une voix cristalline. "Ici, tout le monde est heureux, et tout est parfait. Tu es arrivé juste à temps pour danser avec nous !"

Frost reste silencieux, ses sens en alerte. Ce monde, bien qu'esthétiquement agréable, une aura profondément dérangeante. Les couleurs sont trop vives, presque agressives, et l'odeur sucrée qui flotte dans l'air semble cacher quelque chose de chimique, de faux.

Il avance lentement dans les rues bondées. Partout, des gens dansent, rient, et se félicitent. Mais leurs mouvements sont mécaniques, comme des pantins manipulés par une force invisible. Leurs sourires, bien que larges et éclatants, ne touchent jamais leurs yeux. Frost remarque que certains trébuchent, tombent, mais personne ne leur tend la main. Ils restent là, sur le sol, continuant de rire malgré leurs blessures. Il s'approche de l'un d'eux, un homme à la peau grise et aux joues creusées. Ses yeux sont dilatés, fixes, comme s'il ne voyait plus rien.

— "Ça va ?" exigez Frost en le serrant légèrement.

L'homme éclate d'un rire rauque, une mousse rose s'échappant de sa bouche.

— "Tout va bien ! La fête est parfaite !" murmure-t-il avant de s'écrouler, inanimé.

Frost se redresse, son cœur battant plus vite. Ce n'est pas un monde de joie, mais une illusion grotesque, exécutée par une force qu'il ne comprend pas encore.

Les Ombres Derrière les Couleurs
La jeune femme aux cheveux verts réapparaît à ses côtés comme par magie, tenant un ballon rose dans sa main.

— "Tu n'as pas encore goûté à notre nectar ? Ça rend tout plus beau, plus vivant. Allez, essaie !" dit-elle en tendant le ballon.

— "Qu'est-ce que c'est ?" demande Frost, méfiant.

— "Juste un petit souffle de bonheur. C'est gratuit. Tout ici est gratuit !"

Il prend le ballon, mais au lieu d'inhaler, il le perce avec un couteau. Une vapeur dense et multicolore s'en échappe, et instantanément, les alentours semblent vaciller. Les fresques murales commencent à dégouliner, les couleurs éclatantes se transforment en teintes ternes, révélant des murs fissurés et décrépis. La musique devient dissonante, un grincement insupportable qui fait vibrer les oreilles de Frost.

Les gens, autrefois rieurs et dansants, commencent à s'effondrer un par un. Certains s'accrochent désespérément à leurs ballons, tandis que d'autres se mettent à hurler, comme si leur pire cauchemar venait de se matérialiser devant eux.

La jeune femme recule, son sourire disparaissant pour laisser place à une expression de panique.

— "Pourquoi fais-tu ça ?! Tu gâches tout !" crie-t-elle.

Frost l'attrape par les bras.

— "Qu'est-ce que cet endroit ? Qui contrôle tout ça ?"

Elle éclate en sanglots, ses larmes se mêlant à la peinture qui commence à couler de son visage, révélant une peau pâle et maladive en dessous.

— "C'est notre refuge... Notre paradis... Nous n'avons rien d'autre..."

La Vérité Derrière le Masque
Frost fini par atteindre le centre de la ville, une grande place où trône une machine massive. Ses engrenages tournent lentement, dégageant des volutes de vapeur colorées qui se propagent dans l'air. À ses pieds, des dizaines de corps inertes sont empilés, certains encore agrippés à leurs ballons.

Il comprend que cette machine est à l'origine de l'illusion collective. Elle distribue un gaz hallucinogène qui maintient les habitants dans un état de bonheur forcé. Ceux qui ne peuvent plus en supporter les effets finissent par mourir, leurs corps abandonnés comme de simples déchets.

Frost s'approche de la machine et remarque un levier rouillé. La jeune femme le suit, son visage ravagé par la peur.

— "Ne fais pas ça, je t'en supplie !" hurle-t-elle. "Si tu arrête la machine, tout ce qu'il nous reste disparaître !"

— "Ce que vous avez, ce n'est pas la vie. C'est une prison", répond Frost.

Il tire le levier, et la machine s'arrête dans un grincement assourdissant. Les volutes de vapeur cessent, et le monde autour de lui s'effondre littéralement. Les couleurs disparaissent, laissant place à une ville grise, ruinée, où les survivants errent sans mais, leurs visages marqués par des années de dépendance et d'oubli.

Une nouvelle étape
Frost quitte cette cité désolée, le cœur lourd. Ce monde, comme les autres, était un témoignage des extrêmes auxquels l'humanité peut se livrer pour échapper à la souffrance. Alors qu'il traverse un nouveau portail, il se demande si le secret qu'il cherche véritablement n'est pas simplement la cause commune de tous ces mondes brisés. Mais il n'a pas encore toutes les réponses, et la route est encore longue.
