It honestly starts making me think that Security Breach isn’t even part of the main cannon. Even if that doesn’t make sense either. But nothing about this series has made sense since the second novel.
Oh no, it's canon.
Just the story's become soo goddamn convoluted.
"Okay so there was a killer and he killed 5 kids."
"Or was it 11?"
"Anyway he died, but not really."
"Then his son died, but not really."
"Then he died for real and went to hell."
"Except that's all a lie."
"Oh wait no it's not a lie and his data ghost is recruiting unwilling followers to revive him."
"Okay that last bit is possibly non-canon now and instead we're going to introduce a character who has had ZERO presence in the games and was only in the books as the new big antagonist also they're literally a bare endoskeleton we are creatively bankrupt."
Help Wanted ****ed everything up.
