The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 176: Save point

The latest website: Annan did not send the four people back to the frozen water port. Instead, he invited them to a sumptuous dinner and then left them in Roseburg.

In order to prevent the players from causing any trouble, Annan specially asked them not to move in the city for the past two days, and it is best not to let others know that they are here.

They obviously also realized that there might be a big plot next. So they all responded obediently.

And in Annan, he returned to Frozen Water Port alone.

He dug out John's broken sword from the city lord's palace and entered the nightmare again.

But this time, the prompts when entering the nightmare are obviously different——

It no longer requires level or profession:

【Bound nightmare fragment detected】

[Fall into nightmare in ten seconds, ten, nine...]

...Bound?

Anan was stunned for a moment.

Speaking of it, it seems that the "Betrayer" nightmare is indeed the only nightmare that needs to be bound. Afterwards, no matter whether it was "Gallery", "White Tower" or "Witch Hunt", there was no mention of "needing to be bound".

Is it because the carrier of this nightmare is special?

Annan recalled it.

The key to the gallery is the word "Skeleton Man" and the city of Frozen Water Port.

The key to the White Tower requires Gerald's skeleton.

The key to the witch hunt is Carney's "scarred skin fragments."

Only the nightmare of "the betrayer" needs to be purified many times, but there is only one key.

I see, the upper limit of the number of people who can enter the nightmare depends on how many parts the "key" can be divided into.

——In other words, the "key" that has been used by others cannot be used by others.

As expected, this copy also has a prompt to read the archive:

【Falling into a nightmare, the copy is being generated...】

[The difficulty of the dungeon is easy, and you can enter it up to three times]

[Current purification rate is 1/3]

[The total erosion rate of the team is 8%, the difficulty of the copy increases by 8%, and the probability of nightmare distortion increases by 8%]

[This copy has a total of 1 save point. Each death will increase the erosion by 1%. You will be forced to exit the copy after three deaths]

[This copy provides introduction to the plot and has decryption rewards]

[Reward for clearing the dungeon: Occupation (Swordsman) increases by 1 level]

[Dungeon decryption reward: Occupation (Wizard) increases by 1 level]

[Save point obtained: Tongue in the Mirror]

[Please select the nightmare entrance——]

[Don Juan Geraint’s Room]

[Abandoned utility room]

...I choose, [Abandoned Utility Room].

Annan silently selected the second option.

It seems that because of his choice, the dizziness Annan experienced was not too strong. In other words... his "disk reading" time when entering the nightmare has also been reduced.

When Annan opened his eyes again, he only smelled a pungent fishy smell.

And his gaze suddenly shot up - he was obviously back to that stupid big guard "John" again.

At this moment, Annan was coming out of the empty room.

The room was extremely empty. In the center, a mirror with a broken screen was lying peacefully on the ground.

Annan paused, walked over and picked up the mirror.

A screen of light appeared before his eyes again, giving him a sense of déjà vu:

【Tongueless Mirror】

[Type: Material/Miscellaneous (Blue)]

[Description: The destroyed spell has lost its original function]

[Effect: The holder will be cursed "No more words"]

[No more words: If the holder is attacked before finishing speaking, this attack ignores defense]

"...the original save point is here?"

Annan suddenly realized.

In other words, if I had been killed by the guard captain Klaus after exploring this room for the first time... maybe I would have been resurrected here.

Annan immediately checked his equipment.

Not bad.

Don Juan’s silver pocket watch is on him...

Annan raised his head and looked at the door.

Memories from half a month ago quickly emerged in his mind.

After a while, Klaus, who feels that the ritual is cut off, will rush here.

The key point is not to let him see that the ritual in the room has been destroyed by himself - but to make him think that he has rewritten the goal of the ritual.

It's not difficult. You only need to slightly change the symbols on your tongue... and then carve the corresponding symbols on your tongue. Or just replace it with the beef tongue you prepared yourself.

Decorating the ceremony is a technical job.

It is much easier to destroy or rewrite the ritual.

This is like, although I don’t understand what the data in the character document in a stand-alone game is and why it is written like this. However, average players can still find and modify the numbers after words such as "money", "attributes" or "number of items".

So Annan threw the mirror away - there was no need to hide it, because Klaus couldn't be allowed to enter this room in the first place. Otherwise, as long as he sees that the ceremony is destroyed instead of rewritten, he will still attack Annan.

If he must enter...

Then I can only serve you with "Zhengming things".

In order to make up for the loophole, Annan used a knife to lightly cut his tongue. He sucked out a little blood and made his tongue as blurry as possible.

Even if Klaus is suspicious, he will give up his luck after seeing the blood on his tongue. And it also prevents him from seeing Annan's clean tongue.

——Anyway, this is John’s body, not Don Juan’s.

If Annan were not worried that it would be inconvenient to speak for a while, Annan would chop off the tongue and slice it, add onions, ginger, garlic, chili soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, sugar, and pepper noodles and stir-fry it without any psychological pressure...

So Annan walked out of the room, turned around and closed the door.

This time Klaus came later - or in other words, Annan came out earlier because there was no need to hide the mirror.

When Klaus hurriedly passed the last corner, he saw the strong and tall guard John, leaning in front of the door of the ceremony venue, looking at him maliciously.

Klaus's heart moved.

He made a cold and solemn look, and drew his weapon with murderous intent on his face.

But John just stretched his right hand in front of his mouth and made a silencing gesture with a smile. The honest face belonging to John gradually revealed a bright and proud smile.

Neither of them moved or spoke.

For a moment, the narrow corridor fell into terrible silence.

"Don't come over."

John said with a smile: "Mirror tongue, right."

Hearing this word, Klaus's expression finally changed.

His face showed strong unwillingness, and finally he sighed deeply and put down his right hand on the sword at his waist.

"You win, John."

Klaus sighed, no longer pretending to remain silent.

Annan nodded and opened his mouth slightly with a smile.

Give Klaus a brief look at his blood-soaked tongue. Before he could see clearly, it quickly closed again.

Seeing this familiar scar~IndoMTL.com~ Klaus let go of the last bit of luck in his heart.

"...What do you want?"

Klaus asked in a deep voice.

Annan just showed an honest expression: "I know you are from His Highness the Third Prince... Who do you think I am from?"

"...Are you from the eldest princess?"

Klaus asked rhetorically.

Annan smiled slightly.

"No, you guessed wrong."

He whispered.

Annan looked directly at the nervous Klaus and showed a gentle and harmless smile: "I am actually...

"Gu Gu Gong's people."
