The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 200: Annan’s Cage
The last video tape has reached the end.
The old TV kept making hissing noises, and on the glass screen with insufficient refresh rate, the snowflake screen could be seen shaking dizzyingly.
And under the projection of this weak light.
Annan was facing away from the TV, looking down at the withered yellow paper. The young man's perfect body cast a shadow, covering most of the piece of paper.
"...mercy."
Annan repeated the word for the third time and sat there motionless.
He was in a daze for a moment.
A strange feeling came over me, making Annan feel dizzy.
After being reminded, Annan finally realized something.
...It turns out that I have always had pity for them...?
Whether it is Isaac, Orpheus, or even Ingrid——
Facing their desperate situation, Annan was not angry, sad, or even happy. Instead, he was a little helpless, with a calm mood and a high level of compassion.
——Just like a god.
In this way.
Annan didn't just feel pity for the few people trapped in the nightmare... he felt pity for the entire world.
It is precisely because Annan believes that people are not happy and believes that there is still a lot of room for optimization in this world that he thinks so much and takes so many actions.
Although Annan was only the Duke of Winter, he also had compassion for people from other countries equally. He even has some sympathy for the players... He will find ways to release the players' knots, train their abilities, and cultivate their character.
This is something only parents and teachers do.
And Annan had no close relationship with them at all - in other words, Annan was a little nosy.
But he didn't realize anything was wrong.
This is precisely because Annan embraces the most pure and sacred law in the universe - love.
That is not the mercy of monks, nor the mercy of saints.
But the mercy of the monarch.
He has equal love for people from all countries and races in this world, and even players from other worlds.
He is like a king sitting on a divine throne. He often laments the sorrows of the world like a god.
The so-called loving the people as one’s own children.
It is precisely because Annan regards himself as a higher being and therefore has equal compassion for all living beings; coupled with Annan's inherent strong power of action, Annan will form a dazzling personality.
He truly wants to make the world a better place, and truly tries to save everyone he sees who is worth saving.
So people turned to Annan, supported Annan, and helped Annan one after another, precisely because they saw hope in Annan.
That is the hope of making the world a better place.
Just like the stars guarding the moon - just like in troubled times, good men and wise men surrender to the wise king.
But what if... Annan's "brilliance" has lost the "action" part. Then there will be only meaningless "pity".
Be compassionate and compassionate.
That's all.
He won't do anything and can't do anything.
It's like stepping down from the throne and becoming a compassionate monk.
——Annan finally understood.
His "customized" despair is that although he understands everything, he still can't do anything.
No matter who suffered the pain, Annan could not be shaken. If Annan did not enter the room he was in, but entered any "dungeon", he would be confident of successfully passing the level.
The "Madman Paradox" that will shake Isaac will not make Annan hesitate at all; Ingrid can't get out of the desperate situation by relying on conspiracy, but Annan can still break the situation if he thinks carefully.
The mechanical doomsday that brought Ofishi into despair and no communication at all, for Annan, will become the best nourishment for him to acquire knowledge.
Similarly... Annan also happened to have a way to clear the other "dungeons".
Because the statement "I am good at what I do" is not empty talk for Annan.
So this nightmare won't let Annan do anything.
"I see others suffering, but I can't do anything..."
Annan murmured.
Why do monks always have compassion?
Because their power is too weak. Nothing can be done, nothing can be changed, and at most it can only save the people around it. Compared with the suffering people, this salvation can be said to be so fragile that it is almost pale.
They can only comfort themselves - as long as they can do their own thing and save the people around them, that is enough.
But that is different from the desire to save everyone. They don't have the power to save everyone.
——But Annan originally had this power.
The [Book of Heavenly Cars] he holds is the introduction to a new era. All miracles can be caused by Annan.
The "compassion" at this time is no longer "compassion" itself - it is "great love".
Annan can get the most comprehensive information here. His personal ability is enough to solve the problems encountered by everyone, and he does have the enthusiasm in his heart to save others...
The videotapes in Annan's room will be gradually updated with other people's experiences, so he will not be so bored that he can't do anything. He will not die of hunger or thirst here, nor will he trigger any side effects of the curse.
Even Annan's Heart of Winter was lifted at some point.
Annan didn’t realize it until not long ago...
In this state, he can be said to be more complete than ever before.
More complete than both Annan White and Annan Black——
The curse that weakened Annan's pain perception has been temporarily lifted; the now fully evolved [Heart of Winter] series of curses that blocked Annan's positive or negative emotions have also lost their restraints.
Today Annan is like a real ordinary person.
All the curses that prevented him from fully experiencing despair were temporarily removed.
Annan's immature boy's body has been fully developed, and his energy and physical strength have reached the peak state in this world. He was even healthier and stronger than Annan before entering this nightmare.
But Annan could do nothing. ~IndoMTL.com~ He could only sit in this inaccessible house and watch others fall into despair step by step.
The distance between him and other people is like a person watching TV and the story on the videotape.
That's a one-dimensional distance.
No matter how hard Annan tried, he couldn't get into the TV and change the fate of the characters in the "story".
——In other words, this is not a secret room that requires Annan to find clues and then leave.
But the copy of Annan itself.
Because the secret room itself has no key - it is a puzzle without a solution.
It is also a cage that belongs exclusively to Annan!
