The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 112: “Praise to the Name of the Sky Crane”

Just looking at the pages, which were as textured as stone and jade, Annan confirmed that this should be an original book.

Just looking at its cover, Annan felt a heavy weight in his brain. Just like sore muscles after exercise...

Of course Annan has experienced this feeling.

Sometime after he reads the original text, he will have a similar feeling.

It's like after eating too much, you might even feel a little nauseous when you see delicious food. This is actually a warning from the brain to the body, indicating "no more eating"... Otherwise, it will be like a goldfish and be starved to death by food.

This can also be understood as the "cooling time" of the original code.

The previous Frederick must have read the book "The Law of Similarity and Predictive Dreams", and then fell into a coma and entered a nightmare?

Could the previous one be his precognitive dream?

Annan thought.

At this moment, a new plot flashed before Annan’s eyes:

[Frederick fell into a nightmare after reading the original text "The Law of Similarity and Predictive Dreams"]

【——A deserted street】

【——Severed Friendship】

【——The Conspiracy of Gods】

【——The Lost Lover】

[Did he foresee the future in the past? 】

[Or is it that the future remembers the past before dying? 】

[There is only one thing that Frederick knows...]

[According to the development in the "prophecy", Ingrid is about to face misfortune]

[And he will do everything he can to prevent that unfortunate future from coming]

After watching the introduction plot in front of him, Annan finally unfolded a large data flow in front of him:

[Main Mission: Changing Destiny]

[Prevent Ingrid from acting alone]

Below a main task, there is a side task that serves as a reminder.

Annan finally remembered.

Why did he feel an inexplicable sense of disobedience before...

It's not because of the deserted streets.

It's not because there are any foreign objects around.

Or he realized that he was in a dream...

Just because he has come into contact with the most critical character "Justus"... But what about his main mission?

Why didn't it appear?

Annan has indeed seen this kind of situation, that is in "Nightmare: Gallery". The external part is just the location for selecting levels.

Now it seems that maybe it was just Frederick's precognitive dream - probably.

But if it was just his precognitive dream, it seems impossible to explain why the prompts when entering included both Frederick and Justus...

"Ahem."

At this moment, Annan heard a slight cough.

He noticed that the expressions of Justus and Ingrid suddenly became serious and nervous. So if he realized something, he immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the sound.

What came face to face was an old man with light steps.

His gray messy long hair fell to his shoulders, and he wore purple clothing similar to the toga of the ancient Romans. His gray pupils were as leisurely and calm as water. He wore gray cloth shoes and a dark gray lace belt from his left shoulder to his right waist. He had a smile on his face and a faint smell of alcohol on his body.

"——Professor."

The three of them responded in unison.

When the old man saw the three people, he couldn't help but smile.

The moment he laughed, Annan smelled a hint of intoxicating alcohol. It wasn't the smell of wine, it was clearly pouring out of his mouth, but it was so intoxicating... that just a slight whiff made Annan's mind a little confused and his cheeks a little hot.

"——I just said, why do you feel that the spinning thread is touched. It is actually a distinguished guest..."

Like a drunken old man, he showed a genuine and cheerful smile to the three of them. Like an exaggerated dramatic actor, he put the **** and ring finger of his right hand against his chest and leaned forward slightly.

Seeing this, Justus and Ingrid were a little at a loss.

But Annan's heart suddenly tightened.

Because he saw the gold rings on the old man's fingers.

He realized the true identity of the drunken old man in front of him.

——Grey Professor, Seti.

In this era, he should be the second most iconic wizard in the world.

He seemed to have figured out Annan's true identity at the same time... so he called him "distinguished guest" as if he meant it, and saluted him funny like a clown.

"So wonderful."

Old Seti circled around them, sniffed their scent, and narrowed his eyes happily as if savoring delicious food: "It's the fragrance emitted by insects escaping from cobwebs.

"Is he an escapee? A savior? A betrayer? Or a self-paralyzed 'saint'?"

The old man has something to say.

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Justus and the others could not understand it completely, they could only understand a small part.

Ingrid explained in a panic: "Professor! Frederick really entered a nightmare... It's true! It's just that he woke up again——"

When she said this, she gently pulled the little finger of Annan's right hand and whispered in a pleading voice: "Please tell me..."

"That's right, Professor!"

Justus’ voice was so loud that he immediately overwhelmed Ingrid.

He shouted: "Frey really fell asleep! It's very dangerous!"

Hearing this, Professor Gray just smiled slightly.

He looked at Annan with a smile: "Did you dream...or did you wake up from a dream?"

"I had a nightmare first and then woke up from the nightmare."

Ingrid on the side quickly waved her hands and explained.

Annan was just silent for a while.

He asked tentatively: "What do you think?"

"I don't think so, I want you to think so."

Professor Gray said slowly.

He stared at Annan's pupils: "You want to block hatred and misfortune. But that is wrong.

"You think so because you have the heart of a dragon. The heart of a dragon is powerful, stronger than the heart of a wolf, stronger than the heart of a human, and stronger than the heart of a lion. But humans are not that powerful. Heart...only hatred can give people lasting strength.

"We are only mortals, not dragons."

Annan was silent.

He slowly raised his head and stared at Professor Gray.

He became more and more certain...the gray pupils of "Professor Gray" had penetrated Frederick's body and seen his inner essence.

But Justice and the others obviously did not understand.

On the contrary, Justus looked at Professor Gray with shining eyes - the superficial aspects of Professor Gray's views did indeed sound "cool" to a young man. But he obviously didn't understand what Professor Gray was implying.

This is a cross-border dialogue that spans the gap between dreams and reality and spans decades.

"What's your opinion?"

After a moment of silence, Annan asked.

Limited by the restriction that "the person in the dream cannot express that he has discovered that this is a nightmare", Professor Gray cannot speak frankly to Annan. He can only convey his ambiguous will to Annan in a roundabout way of "not speaking human words".

In other words, it is up to Annan himself to realize it.

...The last person who saw that he was the person in the dream seemed to be the person in the mirror now.

It seems that Professor Gray is not much different from Michelangelo...

The corners of Professor Gray's mouth raised slightly.

His gray pupils were full of smiles, but no human figure was reflected in them.

He chanted to himself: "Let me go to the grave safely - you just need to pray.

"The unfortunate will sacrifice themselves in the furnace of misfortune. My hands will be burned and become strong; my feet will be burned and become strong. My pupils will be burned like glass. , so you can watch the sky train."

"...This seems to be a poem about winter?"

In the silence, Ingrid guessed aloud.

Seti looked at her with a smile.

"What about the back? Do you remember, Ingrid?"

"——I gaze at the sun~IndoMTL.com~ seeking the light sealed in my pupils."

Anan instead opened his mouth and continued in a cold voice: "But when I look at the sun, all I shed is tears... I know in my heart that I am just a mortal thing.

"In the furnace of the light world, my body was finally burned, my teeth rotted, and my skin and flesh dissolved——

"I cry over this - I am mortal!"

In "Nightmare: Kiss of the Wolf", he heard fragments of the poem.

Later, with the help of Zhi Ji, he found the full text of this long poem.

It tells the story of a madman who fanatically pursues the "Heavenly Car" and deliberately tortures himself with the pain of the mortal world, hoping to make himself transcendent and ascend to the light realm with the "Heavenly Car".

This knowledge has weight. Therefore, many people believe that this is a metaphor for those extraordinary people who have no talents but pursue the path to becoming gods.

——Because the sublimation ceremony itself is often compared to a "heavenly carriage". The process of a god's ascension is likened to being "sent into the realm of light by a heavenly chariot."

What Professor Gray recited was the content at the beginning of the poem.

The madman bid farewell to his parents... full of confidence and ready to embark on the journey of pursuing pain.

What Annan responded to was nearly two-thirds of the way through. It tells the story of a madman who, after going through many hardships, realizes that he is still a mortal who cannot ride the heavenly chariot, so he is completely despairing.

This is usually considered by ritual masters, and what it implies is that even if you have a strong desire, if you do not step into the golden level, you will still be unable to ascend and will instead self-destruct.

Annan will remember the content of this poem because of its name.

The name of this book is...

——"Praise to the Name of the Sky Crane".

These two chapters are relatively crucial, so I will be careful to slow down the update... I will update them first today, and adjust my schedule by the way.

Double update tomorrow, please vote~
