The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 229: Ai Lei’s fear

"Player Super Justice ()"

"...So, as you can see."

The sound of Longjing Tea and Selicia’s conversation sounded from around them.

Ailei looked down at the coffee in the ceramic cup.

She was a little uncomfortable with it, so she carefully pinched the spoon with gorgeous and delicate patterns, stirred the coffee like the Longjing tea around her, and watched the snow-white sugar cubes quietly melt inside.

She recognized that this was the "Alpine Wine" of the United Kingdom, a specialty from Alpine Island. Without the need for conversion and synthesis, it can be used to make a natural energy mixture that can resist the invasion of sleep and prevent yourself from entering nightmares.

In the Kingdom of Noah, some old nobles would take it in very small amounts - of course, it was only as a brain-stimulating drug, and no one would be so luxurious as to use it as a drink. Of course, it is unknown whether it has any brain-building effect...

Alpine fruit production is already scarce. It is produced on only one island but has to be supplied to many countries. Its price is even more expensive than the same volume of silver.

Elei knew it because Amos was given a small box when he was painting for Viscountess Roseburg. She also counted that there were eighteen pills in total...but she was not willing to eat them at all.

In the month when Amos's mental state had just become bad, Ai Lei carefully roasted and ground the box of alpine beans, mixed them with sugar, mint and pepper, and gave them all. Amos drank it.

I don’t know if the medicine took effect, but Amos’s spirit did improve a lot in those two weeks. But unfortunately, there are too few alpine berries in her hand...

Remembering her adoptive father, Ai Lei felt a little distracted.

What kind of emotion is that...

Is it nostalgia? Is it hate? is love? Is it worship? Is it fear?

...She couldn't tell.

But that experience was something she couldn't forget.

At least...the period when her mother Clara was dead and Amos had not yet fallen into evil ways was indeed the happiest period for Elle.

Amos loved himself with all his heart, even turning down his job and taking good care of himself. I am afraid that I will be sad and shorten my life because of my mother's death.

...But actually Ailei doesn't know how.

She had seen her mother use herself to threaten and blackmail Joseph, and knew how limited her "love" for her was. He is just a prop she uses to extort more "love" from her biological father.

She also saw how Joseph ruthlessly abandoned herself and her mother, and even directly used the command spell to immobilize them... She was also full of disappointment in her biological father.

It was after reading the occult books that Joseph gave her that Clara became a "Spider Whisperer".

After she believed in the black widow, she prepared bottles of poison from toads, bats, and mice... and tested the poison with neighbor dogs and wild cats. She even murdered Amos' biological sister - partly because of jealousy, but partly because she was worried that people who were too close to Amos would kill people or purchase cursed materials while she was away. When I was young, I entered her study and discovered her secret.

Amos is very obedient and never goes where she doesn't let him go...but the same cannot be said for others.

So when Amos didn't notice at all, his sister unexpectedly "died" of illness. Clara comforted Amos while threatening Elle not to tell the truth.

After that, she dug up the body of Amos's sister and completely destroyed it - this was to hide that she peeled off a small piece of skin as evidence of a sacrifice to the Black Widow.

Ai Lei witnessed all this and she was very afraid of her mother.

That was a truly vicious woman - she had almost no love for her mother, only fear.

For Elle, who was still a girl, her father's love and mother's love... were both given to her by Amos. Although Amos was famous for his skills back then, he was not as demonic as he would be later. Their family's life was relatively prosperous, but not that wealthy.

For the most part, Amos had no job. Especially when Ailei was still quite young, he was always there to accompany Ailei...

Alei's mother, on the other hand, is still practicing apprentice-level spells and traveling to other places to purify nightmares without giving up. But she really didn't have the talent to be a wizard... Later, she stayed in the study alone, reading books thicker than Alley's arms, and studying gloomy and terrifying rituals in the basement.

When her mother is at home, Ai Lei is always a little afraid - she never dares to go to her mother's study alone, let alone the basement. Only when the mother needs a ritual assistant is she taken to the basement.

Whenever she saw the bottles of poison and the corpses of various poisoned animals, she worried that sooner or later she would turn into a corpse... and Amos didn't even know that he was being poisoned. Killed.

Clara's death was not so much saddening her.

It would be better to say that... it made her feel a lot more at ease.

You don’t have to worry about being poisoned suddenly one day, and you can still enjoy Amos’ love all to yourself.

And in this nightmare.

... As soon as Airei woke up, she saw young Amos.

He is still a painter - and a fairly well-known painter at that, and he is very busy at work. He didn't communicate too much with Ai Lei... Of course, if he communicated too much ~IndoMTL.com~ Ai Lei might not be comfortable with it.

In that case, she might be reminded of Amos sacrificing her to Skeleton King, and of her watching Amos die hundreds of times in her nightmares.

This kind of "meeting" is just right.

However, Amos told her...her mother would be home tonight. Ask her to go back early tonight.

...Ailei doesn't want to go back.

She didn't even want to see that woman.

Although she is an angel now, I still have a fear of her...

When she woke up in the middle of the night, if she had a vision of her mother standing in front of the bed, it would still scare Elle to the point where she would sweat on her back.

——I hope she never comes back.

But...does Ai Lei still have attachment to her?

It's impossible to have none at all.

Especially after being immobilized by Joseph, her mother held her hand firmly and left silently... At least at that moment, her mother was the whole world in the frightened Ai Lei's heart.

While her mother was learning rituals and spells, Ailei tried her best to act silly and make her laugh. When she saw her mother smiling relaxedly, the happiness that arose in her heart was not false.

So it is not pure hatred and fear.

Of course...

Of course, she would not mention this kind of fear that was hidden deep in her heart, and even she could not figure it out.

She hopes to see Amos again, but she doesn’t really want to see him again; she doesn’t want to completely forget her mother, but she doesn’t even want to remember her name...

She hopes to live this day quietly in this "future world"; but she doesn't want time to come to tomorrow.

If tomorrow comes... I will see my mother again.

Ai Lei thought and tightened her grip on the coffee cup.
