The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 152: Sad and pitiful

Why did only five people die in total when facing the Skeleton Master’s heirs?

Why did the two people who "suffered a huge mental shock and went crazy on the spot" died of "excessive injuries"?

Does it mean that the brain damage is too serious? Or did they know too much and were secretly executed?

This is a question that Annan has been puzzled by before.

Now Annan finally understands.

It's because the two people hit by the dirty blood bombs suffered the injuries of everyone else.

"So, you were also..."

"Yes."

Joseph nodded: "The bullet suddenly appeared in front of me, flowed back, penetrated my chest and back, and was sucked back from the back.

"That's when Amos stole my curse bearer. The two people who were hit in the shoulders and arms were not unconscious. Amos appeared behind me and took my bracelet directly. Gone... I don't know why he took such a risk.

"But just to steal my bracelet, he was hit in the abdomen by Hiram who came over with a throwing knife. After that, I passed out.

"It is said that what happened next was that Amos called his 'painters' to cover him, and the police officers were dragged in place. Fortunately, Amos had no medical knowledge... Before he escaped, he The throwing knife was pulled out. This resulted in a large amount of blood loss, and he could no longer escape the pursuit of the police dog - although he did not escape in the first place..."

The wizard, who didn’t know how long he had lived, sighed.

"I can survive now all because Hiram arrived in time and saved me. A police officer who was shot in the abdomen by a bullet was already hopeless but he did not die immediately... It was just delay. This short period of time allowed Hiram to transfer my injuries to him in time."

That’s it.

Annan understood.

Joseph was hit in the back by a dirty blood bullet... He was able to survive only because of Hiram's emergency milk.

Without this mouthful of milk, Joseph must have been completely cold by now.

"What happened next?"

Annan asked.

Hearing this, Joseph's expression became a little strange.

"Later..."

He was silent for a moment and then answered: "By the time we got rid of the entanglement of those magic paintings, Amos had already disappeared.

"But for some reason, after he trapped us, he kept running upwards. No matter how long we were trapped, he couldn't escape at all. Moreover, his internal organs were damaged, and he couldn't escape at all. There is no ability to heal that kind of injury.

"To be on the safe side, we spread out our formation and searched carefully upwards layer by layer. But we didn't encounter any other traps after that. Until we reached the top floor and went to the rooftop..."

Having said this, Joseph paused slightly.

He said softly: "That's when we saw Amos' body."

...Corpse?

Annan was also stunned when he heard this.

"Is it because... internal bleeding?"

"Definitely not."

Joseph replied with certainty: "It took more than half an hour from the time we were attacked on the fourth floor to the time we found Amos' body. But his body had been dead for some time.

"Judging from the time, Amos was already dead when we were still on the fourth floor."

Mr. Barker said slowly: "The pistol in his hand still had the last bullet, and the final cause of death was that he was hit in the heart by a dirty blood bullet. But the problem is, he was shot in the back... So we We can only think that he was killed by his accomplices. And my carrier disappeared at that time.

"After that, we encountered the monster burning with colorful flames. It was very scary... When it didn't attack, all our attacks couldn't hit it; and when it attacked, it was hit by it. The consciousness of the person attacking will be completely eliminated - from before it launches the attack to the end of the attack, they have no consciousness or memory at all, and are completely unable to struggle or resist...

"Fortunately, we have more people. After a very hard battle, we used the two companions to share the fatal damage, and we were able to barely defeat it. But we couldn't really kill it, so we could only seal it Get up.

"Fortunately, its desire to attack is not strong. When it was attacked by us, it was just crying, and when it attacked us, it did not specifically attack its vitals. Its name is 'Angelo'...

"——We think it should be the unborn fetus in Ailei's belly."

Speaking of this, Joseph's voice was a little dry and hoarse.

His voice was choked, and he cleared his throat gently before continuing: "We sealed Angelo in the frozen water port. As for where...even I don't know. For this scene, I After death, it becomes a nightmare, or the memory is retrieved by a soul-stealing wizard. The Sheriff and I are responsible for half of the seal. I am responsible for breaking up its soul and burying it in the earth. The Sheriff is responsible for hiding its body. Get up."

"...So, the curse of Frozen Water Port is the nightmare of Angelo's transformation after his death?"

Annan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, Angelo, it is the curse that spreads in this land, but it has not completely died. The process of purifying this nightmare is the process of slowly eliminating it."

Joseph smiled bitterly: "You may call me weak... Since then, I have indeed not been as decisive as when I was young.

"I know that only by purifying the curse wrapped around Angelo can this matter be completely ended, and only then can Airei's resentment return to the earth. But I...

"...I am still a little reluctant to part with it. After all, it is the last evidence that 'Ai Lei' has survived."

He sighed softly: "It's a lie to say that I don't care. I know that purifying the nightmare will be good for Ellie, Angelo, and Frozen Water Port. I just... hope that when I want to drink, I can Go back to the nightmare and take another look at Ai Lei."

After listening to his words, the room was silent for a brief moment.

Annan stared at this man.

Feeling Annan's gaze, Joseph sighed and looked away without any trace.

On the one hand, Joseph wanted to let Elle rest in peace, so that "Angelo" with his own blood flowing in his body could die simply, and no longer stay alive and full of resentment like a ghost in the world. He also knows that nightmares are just afterimages of past events, not real history, nor another world...

But on the other hand, he still has an obsession with this past and cannot forget it.

Annan once asked Salvatore. ~IndoMTL.com~ That police chief has already left the frozen water port. It seems that he was promoted in the second year after the incident, but it is not clear where he went.

The last survivor in Frozen Water Port who experienced the events of that year...should be Joseph.

If he wanted to, it would be easy for him to purify this nightmare himself.

As for the nonsense about "you can't gain power even if you don't have a carrying object on your body, and you can't purify nightmares"... it's probably just an excuse to deceive yourself and others.

The curse on him that prevents him from traveling far and the sealed object he lost are not completely unsolvable events. As his mentor in the Wizard Tower, if Joseph had activated his connections, it would not have been possible for him to be trapped in the frozen water port for forty-five years.

——Unless he doesn’t want to leave.

He wanted to watch the nightmare be purified, but didn't want to do it himself.

He does not prevent others from purifying their nightmares, but he does not actively offer help to others.

Because he wants to end it all...but he can't forget it all.

I don’t want to say goodbye to all this.

Annan sighed.

Such a pathetic man.

Such a poor father.
