The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 692 The Illusory Overhead City

The masked "Lily Rasputin" on the treasure ship "Silver" is undoubtedly Euphemia Melvin who ran away from home back then.

Annan has so far failed to verify the correctness of this speculation.

But Celesia...

It was her reply at the time that convinced Annan that her thinking was not wrong.

It was just speculation before, but it won't be too troublesome to verify this speculation.

Anyway, in this world where "everything will be forgotten in the next week", even if you make wrong contacts and choices, it will not have any effect.Although it was used to seal the alien world born by the Skeletal Lord, for Annan... it had another purpose.

——In the outside world, there are some speeches and some actions that can make the situation take a turn for the worse and enter an "unexpected ending".If it is in a game, it can roughly be called a "hidden ending" or an "easter egg", and the biggest secret is usually hidden in it.

But the biggest difference between reality and games is that "reality cannot be loaded".

This means that if you want to step into the so-called "hidden line" ending, you must abandon the existing "normal ending" that will eventually come.

This is a very difficult choice.

In other words, it is precisely because the game can be restarted repeatedly by loading files.The joy you get when you reach the ending will not be that grand—precisely because "getting this ending" is the initial goal that all players have already obtained when they start the game, its value will decrease instead.

Compared with the all-platinum and hidden endings, the normal customs clearance seems "not tasteful enough"... Even if the hidden endings may not be as good as the regular endings in terms of text volume and impact, people will still pursue the hidden endings.It seems that as long as the hidden ending is designed, it will be more compelling and unique.

And in this infinite nightmare of eternal reincarnation, the condition of "readable file" has just been met.

This means that Annan can use some destructive means to obtain some information that cannot be obtained under normal circumstances...

For example, Annan told Selicia his real name.

Although she will temporarily obey Annan's order and tell Annan everything she can say... But this also means that it will become more difficult to obtain some information.

She can tell ordinary people, she can tell Ai Lei this stranger and passer-by.But she can't tell Annan alone.

—There must be such a thing.

Since this week will eventually end, everyone will lose this memory.Then if you don't take advantage of such a rare opportunity to torture out some rare information... it will seem a bit too wasteful.

Because this incident may damage Annan's image in the hearts of players.

So Annan didn't bring Longjing tea with him this time.

In order to control the madness of Longjing Tea, he was temporarily sent back to his home - this is undoubtedly the safest place that can best meet the needs of "acting".

Naturally, you have to rest at night, but you need a reason to leave home.

At first, Annan was worried about this... If Euphemia returned home honestly, it would not be an easy task to find her residence in this high-rise building.

Fortunately, Euphemia Melvin was not like that.

It is not particularly difficult to find her.

——Her appearance is really impressive.

Her hair is silver-gray as heavy as mercury, and the hair hangs straight down; and near the end, it turns into pink-purple curly hair that has been dyed for no reason.

Such an uncoordinated hair color, you only need to see it once and you will never forget it easily.Not to mention that she still wears a metal mask that covers the upper half of her face, making her look like a goddess...

Annan and Selicia didn't even use any extraordinary abilities, nor did they allow Longjing Tea to use the police station. They simply asked a circle of passers-by, and found Euphemia with the investigative ability of ordinary people.

She is walking leisurely on the food street at the moment—holding a can of coconut milk in her left hand, while holding a few hot skewers in her right hand, she gnawed off several skewers at the same time with a very bold gesture the food on the table while chewing.

Judging from the thickness of the wooden stick stuck in the cloth bag at her waist, Euphemia might have been eating like this for a long time.

"...Lily?"

Because of this image, it is too different from usual.

So much so that when Celesia saw her, she couldn't help being silent for a moment.

She asked tentatively, "Is that you?"

"Ah, Captain."

Euphemia seems to have no doubts about the fact that "Celesia will find herself in the end".

The moment she was stopped, she greeted Cecilia without hesitation: "You are a little late. So I am not the first in your heart, this is too sad .I thought you would find me sooner..."

She said sadness on her mouth, but her voice was carefree, as if there was no sadness at all.

She turned around and was stunned for a moment when she saw Ai Lei, then raised the corner of her mouth and said hello: "Hey, little Ai Lei... I didn't expect you to come in too. By the way, aren't you an angel?"

Apparently, she couldn't forget how Ai Lei suddenly turned into an angel and flew away.

But she didn't seem to be too entangled.

Noticing that Ailei's eyes were focused on the coconut juice in her left hand, she smiled and handed it over: "It's coconut juice, it's delicious. Among several drinks, this is the one I think is the best... ...not only fresh, but also very sweet. Want to try it?"

Obviously, she has already bought a round of drinks in this "other world".

Otherwise, it is obviously difficult to achieve this familiarity.

As the creator of this alien nightmare, Granny Buried Bones can either accurately see the projection of the future; or find fragments of "modern" life from the player's memory, absorb them as materials... and instantly This complete, only slightly smaller "different world" has been constructed.

Annan leans towards the latter.

Because in this world, there are some very unnecessary things.

The biggest feature of the misty world, apart from the curse that goes hand in hand with the curse, is the "ritual" that started with the mysterious lady.

Although this power is mastered by the "mysterious lady", even if more people know about it, the mystery will not fade and the power will not be weakened.

Because the essence of the ceremony is to "rent" extraordinary power.

All countries control the mystical knowledge that can create ritual masters, not because it will weaken the power of rituals, but because "mysterious knowledge" itself is too dangerous.

As long as the ceremony fails, it will lead to various disasters—it may be an earthquake, tsunami, heavy rain, drought, or an explosion of a house, people in the same town will fall into nightmares one after another, all participants in the ceremony will become crazy, or they may be innocent. The loss of lifespan, the destruction of the ritual field... and so on, no matter what the result is, it will be very troublesome.

On the other hand, holding the power of rituals will make ordinary people quickly become inflated-they don't have the superhuman's curse to restrain themselves, and they don't have many things that are eliminated by condensing their souls when they advance to silver. Distracting thoughts, acting more without scruples, more impulsive and regardless of consequences.

In other words, the reason for controlling the ceremony is not because there are too many ceremonial masters, which will lead to the weakening of the power of the ceremonies... It is just a violent institution of the kingdoms on the ground, and its force cannot suppress and deter those folk ceremonial masters from obeying the law.

Well, as technology develops...

The miniaturization, black box, and officialization of ceremonies are the inevitable development path.

And in the hundreds of years, new and better rituals will inevitably appear.Because rituals can be created... as long as they meet certain rules, they can be imported into the "truth" system.

But according to Annan's observations, this "alien world" is closer to the earth-like worldview that "adopts part of the setting of the foggy world".

It almost completely shields all non-spell ritual development.Rather, it looks like an overhead city formed by adopting the knowledge of various schools of magic, headed by the transformation school, combined with the technology of the earth around the [-]th century.

One Thought of Creation...

The power of Granny Buried even made Annan feel a little nervous.

What makes him hesitate now is.

In the end, among the twelve righteous gods, each one has the same level of power...

Or, only the mother-in-law who buried the bones was special?
