The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 199: Despair belonging to Annan

Annan has actually vaguely sensed part of the rules of this nightmare.

Thanks to the curse of "Endymion, who is about to be born".

This curse requires Annan's left shoulder to be exposed to a light source of sufficient intensity. If it doesn't absorb light, it will gradually become a burning pain.

After the thirteenth hour, every second will feel like a red-hot iron is pressing on this place. And it's the kind that doesn't lift.

This is not an "illusion" that only exists in the senses.

It's not just a punishing phantom pain.

When others touch this curse pattern with their palms, they can definitely feel the heat - the usual heat is probably like a bowl of freshly soaked cup noodles. If the person holding this curse was an ordinary person, the heat alone would be fatal.

But if the highest level of heat is maintained - even if its pain can be obscured or weakened by some means, the remaining heat is enough to destroy Annan's body.

As a warning, it does not suddenly turn into a fatal scorching heat after not absorbing light for thirteen hours. Instead, it starts to slowly heat up after the light source is cut off for a period of time. The temperature rise becomes more obvious later on. The effect is not significant in the first five or six hours.

Annan has tested it before. The red moon outside the window is just an illusion, but the TV can really emit light. Although this light is not strong enough, it should be enough if it only maintains the curse and does not continue to worsen.

——However, the premise for this is that Annan takes the initiative to come forward.

Annan actually sat on the bed, far away from the TV,

It’s not about protecting eyesight...

But after watching Isaac's videotape, he had a conjecture.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Annan planned to deliberately activate his own curse——

But it turns out that Annan stayed here and watched the video tape for a long, long time... According to the length of the plot, it must have been at least more than half a month.

But Annan's curse was not triggered at all.

Not only that, Annan was neither sleepy nor hungry. He didn't eat or drink, and he didn't have any bowel movements.

Although it is not impossible for gold-level extraordinary beings to temporarily cancel these functions of their own. But Annan didn't make any move at all...but he found that he was never hungry at all.

——It’s like time has stopped here.

"What is it that I fear, fear, and despair the most?"

Anan murmured in a low voice, stood up and began to search for the remaining clues in the room.

In the drawer, under the bed, inside the pillow, under the mattress...

What surprised Annan was that there was quite a lot of information he could find.

He found a piece of yellow paper in the drawer.

There are nine Arabic numerals on it like a computer keyboard.

There are eight red lines running through these numbers to form a three-digit number group.

These lines extended out, with some words written on them that Annan could understand.

Annan only recognized part of them - because these were not words from the Misty Continent, but French mixed with a part of English. As for the English part, Annan had no problem reading it, but he only knew a very small part of the French.

[Penser], [Lavolonté], [Lachair], [], [Jugement]...

Following these incomplete runes, Annan looked for correspondences one by one.

"Does Ingrid correspond to... [Thinking]? Is this what it means?"

Annan thought seriously: "The poem of Offei corresponds to [action]. The senior who wrote the poem about the crane corresponds to [action], which I can't understand. And the dim yellow world where Isaac lives should correspond to [action]. Ruling]..."

Among these eight words, only one word has been crossed out.

That is the only missing video tape [357].

But Annan can still see the words above.

"...pity?"

Annan murmured: "Am I [pity]?"

Ingrid is thinking...what is she thinking? What's there to think about in her plan?

Ophise's actions——But there is nothing he can do?

Still...

Annan immediately changed his thinking direction.

"Isaac is the judge. But in his world, there is nothing to judge at all - so, does [Judgment] refer to what he is doing?"

In a world where everyone has a cognitive filter, everyone is guilty and everyone is innocent.

Without understanding each other, they killed their own kind and greatly reduced the number of their own kind.

In other words, when Isaac finds a way to lift his cognitive filter, he will fall into "real despair." At that point, all he can do is "judgment."

For the sake of some lives, deprive others of their lives.

By then, I'm afraid he will be in so much pain that he wishes he could wear a cognitive filter.

It is precisely because Isaac is a kind man that he is tortured by this mentality.

...and the same reasoning can be derived.

When Ingrid fell into "real despair", all he could do was "think."

Because she can't do anything.

She cannot move or contact anyone except the "Demon King". She was even deprived of vision, and the devil would never care what she was saying or what she was thinking - that was the real "I love you, but what does it have to do with you."

Not even as good as the beginning.

At that time, although she could not move, she was also deprived of a lot of power.

But she can still match wits and courage with those barbarians. She can also communicate with other people to relieve her loneliness - and although she is aloof, her humanity is no longer strong.

Without the sudden invasion from the "Devil King", she is confident that she will be able to regain her freedom sooner or later.

It was precisely because she was pregnant that that fear brought her back to the realm of "mortal", allowing her to regain her humanity and start [thinking] about gains and losses.

In other words, after [despair], she could only think - nothing else could be done.

It is easy to understand if you use this logic to look at Orpheus' poems. When he realized that the planet was actually dead and empty. When only these robots were left who didn't understand art and couldn't communicate with him... all he could do was [action].

He must do something, otherwise sooner or later he will be drowned in the endless loneliness and silence. ~IndoMTL.com~ In the beginning, Ao Feishi did take some "action". But it wasn't until he was really desperate that he started taking real "action."

The same goes for Isaac and Ingrid.

In the beginning, Isaac commanded the young soldiers to "fight the Zerg", which obviously required some "judgment". But it is not until he experiences true despair that he will understand what the "judgment" and "ruling" he really needs to make is.

"And the share that belongs to me..."

Annan's pupils shrank slightly.

He realized something and gradually became nervous: "It's just... [mercy]?

"So, do I have 'compassion' now? If so, what am I pitying for? Under what circumstances...do I start to have real [compassion]?

"What is true mercy?"
