The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 228: The person who is not in the dream
"This is the burial of bones..."
Annan realized something.
If he guessed correctly.
This otherworldly nightmare...may not be naturally generated. It is impossible for Mr. Skeleton to create a nightmare that would trap him to death.
Reminiscent of the last time Duke Skeleton’s corpse disintegrated, the last rib sank into the earth of the Principality of Song Song.
This is probably a "bone burial" ceremony.
Just when He was about to seize Ailei and transform into the real God of Betrayal, the Bone Burial Granny took action... She made the skeleton of Lord Bones into this nightmare, which was used to seal Lord Bones.
Just like what Mr. Bones said.
——Burial is for forgetting.
And forgetting is betrayal.
The simplest way to escape from this never-ending nightmare is to keep backstabbing your teammates - to survive to the end of every game.
Then gather everyone's strength and wisdom from the next week to find the answer to the puzzle... and then backstab and kill other partners.
Until the mystery is completely solved, regardless of whether anyone has died in this week, just choose to leave - and the nightmare is ended.
Whether he wants to escape or not, his surviving companions with no memories will urge him to leave. Because they don't know how many times they have been killed by this person in their past reincarnations... This in itself is a very pure "betrayal".
It is about dreams, life and death, companions, sacrifice, and fateful betrayal.
And the person who can do this will definitely not be Mr. Bones. Because Lord Skeleton is just an NPC in this nightmare. He has no right to retain his memory.
Then this means that this large-scale ceremony carried out at the cost of "the death of Lord Skeleton" will allow another person to gain part of the truth of betrayal.
This way.
Even if the seal fails, Mr. Bones escapes from it. There will also be another person who will take away from him a large amount of "betrayal" truth.
The true and complete **** of betrayal will still not be born. This sublimation ceremony may fail, or it may be born from a **** weaker than the Bone Lord.
The ritual of burying the bones of the mother-in-law is very obvious.
Although Lord Skeleton gave up half of his "skeleton" priesthood and returned it to the earth.
But this does not mean that the half it vacates can obtain the complete truth of betrayal.
——This is probably because the Bone Burial Granny dare not, or rather does not want to, hand over the betrayal of the priesthood to the Bone Lord. Because the purity of the priesthood is still very important...it is related to the "adjacentness" of the divine realm.
The Silver Knight and the Red Knight went out of their way to maintain the purity of their own fields.
The essence of the field of "transaction and trade" held by Sir Silver is "non-equivalent exchange"; because if it is completely equivalent, it is just "exchange". Based on this priesthood, he can extend his control over currency, freight, transportation, speculation and other fields.
And the Red Knight is just the "God of War" - that is, "purposeful violence among multiple participants." Based on the purity of this field, she can get involved in everything from "weapons" to "tactics", from "knights" to "conspiracy", and even "guarding" and "plundering".
Like the Mysterious Lady, the **** of secrets and ritual. There are naturally many kinds of secrets, and there are many kinds of rituals... But when these two appear together, "secret" is more inclined to be interpreted as "mysterious knowledge".
However, the mysterious lady is also a special case, because when she ascended, she did not choose the two pages from the Book of Truth... but automatically selected two adjacent pages.
Most gods will use multiple priesthoods to expand their scope of control in completely different areas - such as the old grandmother and the bone burying mother-in-law. But there are also some gods who will try to purify their own domains and seek more adjacent areas of control.
Once Lord Skeleton obtains the pure "betrayal" priesthood, his ability in this area will increase greatly.
The biggest difference is that his intervention power in the ritual can be further deepened - a medium-level ritual originally held may only allow him to obtain a spell (this spell also requires a skeleton) You can rub one out yourself); and after the Bone Master’s priesthood is purified, you can directly give the power of this curse to others as a curse.
Without relying on the Book of Truth, you can reach the realm of gods through repeatedly optimized rituals. You can even self-optimize your priesthood...
In terms of talent, Mr. Bones is indeed an extraordinary genius.
In history, there are only three extraordinary beings who have successfully ascended to godhood without relying on the Book of Truth. The Bone Man, Fu Fu, and the Man in the Mirror—except for Fu Fu, the remaining two are peerless geniuses, the kind that no one will be able to produce in hundreds of years.
And the more geniuses are like this, the greater the harm they will do to the world when they have evil thoughts and fall.
It is reasonable for the Bone Burial Granny to want to seal the Bone Lord.
——What's more, the Bone Lord also blew up the statue of Bone Burial Granny on the spot.
No matter how good-tempered you are, you can't turn a blind eye.
Just like the old grandmother controls the elements of "frost", the land where snow falls is her divine domain; the Bone Burial Granny controls the two strongest areas in the world... one of them is [the earth].
If Annan guessed correctly, the Bone Burial Granny might be the "earth" at the beginning of the creation of the world.
With the priesthood of [Earth], she can appear anywhere and shake the earth anywhere. The place they were in before was underground, a secret room wrapped by the earth - which naturally belonged to the divine domain of the Bone Burial Granny.
Without showing up at all, he directly used the skeleton of Lord Skeleton to come up with a way to absolutely seal Lord Skeleton, and create an alien-level nightmare in an instant...
...It's still a bit unbelievable.
"In short, the core elements of this nightmare are Ai Lei and the Bone Man."
Annan murmured.
The four fingers of his right hand were like waves, tapping the armrest repeatedly, while his left hand was resting on his forehead, his eyes slightly closed, and he was lost in thought.
The Skeleton Lord had abandoned his identity as a **** in the previous moment - at least at the moment when he abandoned the Divine Skeleton but failed to seize Ailei, his identity was not that of a god.
This large-scale alien ritual performed by the Bone Burial Granny is probably to seal Ai Lei and the Bone Master.
But if Ai Lei is alone, she may not be able to seal the Bone Master. In one day's reincarnation after another, she will eventually collapse completely.
The existence of other people is Ailei's "safety lock".
The purpose of their existence is to help Ai Lei bear this "memory".
"...but they are my people. Tsk.
"They are the ones who followed my orders and went to find them; it was because of me that Ai Lei was not bound to the frozen water port."
Annan gritted his teeth, smacked his lips, and thought hard: "This is my responsibility... This is my responsibility. Tsk...
"...Even if it means eternal reincarnation, I have to get them back."
What else can I do...
How can I notify them? How can we break this reincarnation nightmare?
What is the significance of Ai Lei as the core of the nightmare? Does she have memory? No, she probably didn't. The others were dragged directly into the nightmare by her mother-in-law just to relieve Ai Lei's memory pressure.
And because Ai Lei has no obvious desire to live, she will not take the initiative to become the last survivor. But if she becomes the last survivor, that would be the best result - according to the Bone Burial Granny's design, the person who finally breaks the nightmare as the captain can get at least half of the truth of "betrayal". If it were Ai Lei...
...The last survivor?
Ai Lei?
"...wait a moment."
Annan's fingers suddenly stopped. ~IndoMTL.com~ He thought of something and suddenly opened his eyes.
He immediately jumped down from the chair and walked to the mirror where Salvatore had communicated before.
——He held the mirror with both hands and stared at his left eye.
It has the luster of an emerald green gem and is the left eye of an angel.
That was the left eye given to him by Ai Lei.
The moment he saw those eyes, Annan's mind echoed with his own sigh.
That’s what I said after hearing Ai Lei’s sacred contract:
[...You are much stronger than Mr. Bones. It would be nice if you were the God of Betrayal——】
Annan sighed at that time.
[...She will be the 'betrayed', watching the betrayer's actions; and I will be the 'betrayer', listening to the cry of the betrayed. 】
The Duke of Bones said so at that time.
"If only you were the **** of betrayal..."
Annan repeated.
He realized something and slowly touched his left eye.
Use your index finger to touch your eyeball.
No pain at all.
It feels like jade.
"This time is..."
Annan murmured.
"I...are watching?"
