The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 235: Illusory fictional city
"Player Super Justice ()"
The masked "Lily Rasputin" on the treasure ship "Silver" is undoubtedly Euphemia Melvin who ran away from home that year.
Annan has so far failed to verify the correctness of this speculation.
Celicia...
It was her reply at that time that convinced Annan that his thinking was not wrong.
It was just speculation before, but it won’t be too troublesome to verify this speculation.
In this world where "everything will be forgotten next week", even if you make the wrong contact or choice, there will be no impact. Although it was used to seal the alien world where the skeleton was born, for Annan... it also had another purpose.
——In the outside world, there are some remarks and behaviors that can cause the situation to take a turn for the worse and enter an "unimagined ending." If it is in a game, it can be roughly called a "hidden ending" or an "Easter egg", in which the biggest secrets are usually hidden.
But the biggest difference between reality and games is that "reality cannot be loaded."
This means that if you want to enter the so-called "hidden line" ending, you must abandon the existing "normal ending" that will eventually come.
This is a very difficult decision.
In other words, it is precisely because the game can be restarted repeatedly by loading files. The joy you get when you reach the ending will not be that grand - precisely because "getting this ending" is the initial goal that all players have achieved when they start the game, its value will decrease instead.
Compared with full platinum and hidden endings, normal playthrough seems "not interesting enough"... Even if the hidden ending may not be as good as the regular ending in terms of text volume and impact, people will still pursue the hidden ending. It seems that as long as the hidden ending is designed, it will be more powerful and original.
In this infinite nightmare of eternal reincarnation, the condition of "readable files" has been met.
This means that Annan can obtain some intelligence that cannot be obtained under normal circumstances through some destructive means...
For example, Annan told Selicia his real name.
Although she will temporarily obey Annan's order and tell Annan everything she can... but this also means that it will become more difficult to obtain some information.
She can tell ordinary people, she can tell Ailei, a stranger and passerby. But the only thing she couldn't tell Annan was.
——There must be such a thing.
Since this week will eventually end, everyone will lose this memory. So if we don't take advantage of such a rare opportunity to torture out some rare information... it would be a waste.
Because this incident may damage Annan's image in the hearts of players.
So Annan didn’t bring Longjing tea this time.
In order to control the madness of Longjing Tea, he was temporarily sent back to his home - this is undoubtedly the safest place that best meets the needs of "acting".
Of course you need to rest at night, but you need a reason to leave home.
Annan was worried about this at first... If Euphemia returned home honestly, it would not be easy to find her residence in this high-rise building.
But fortunately, Euphemia Melvin is not that kind of person.
It is not particularly difficult to find her.
——Her appearance is really impressive.
Her hair was as heavy as mercury, and the strands hung straight down; near the end, it turned into pink-purple curls with highlights for no reason.
Such an incongruous hair color, you only need to see it once and you will never forget it easily. Not to mention that she also wears a metal mask that covers the upper half of her face, making her look like a goddess...
Annan and Selicia did not even use any extraordinary abilities, nor did they allow Longjing Cha to use the police station. They simply asked a circle of passers-by and found Euphemia with the investigative abilities of ordinary people.
She was walking leisurely on the food street at the moment - holding a can of coconut juice in her left hand, and several hot skewers in her right hand. She nibbled several of them at the same time with a very bold gesture. of food on a skewer while chewing.
Judging from the thickness of the wooden stick stuck in the cloth bag on her waist, Euphemia has probably been eating like this for a while.
"...Lily?"
Because this image is too different from usual.
So much so that when Celicia saw her, she couldn't help but be silent for a moment.
She asked tentatively: "Is that you?"
"Ah, Captain."
Euphemia seems to have no doubt that "Celicia will eventually find her."
The moment she was stopped, she said hello to Cecilia without hesitation: "You're a little late. So I'm not the first in your heart. This is too embarrassing. I'm so sad. I thought you would find me earlier..."
She spoke of sadness, but her voice was carefree, as if there was no sadness at all.
She turned around and was stunned for a moment when she saw Airei. Then she raised the corners of her mouth and said hello: "Hey, little Airei... I didn't expect you to come in too. By the way, aren't you an angel?"
Obviously she still can't forget how Airei suddenly turned into an angel and flew away.
But she didn't seem to be too entangled.
Noticing that Ailei's eyes were focused on the coconut juice in her left hand, she handed it over with a smile: "It's coconut juice, it's delicious. Among several drinks, this one feels the best to me. The drink... is not only fresh, but also very sweet. Do you want to try it?"
Obviously, she has already bought a lot of drinks in this "other world".
Otherwise, it is obviously difficult to achieve this level of familiarity.
As the creator of this otherworldly nightmare, the Bone Burial Granny can either accurately see the projection of the future; or she has found fragments of "modern" life from the player's memory and absorbed them as material... And in an instant, this complete, only slightly smaller "different world" was constructed.
Annan prefers the latter.
Because in this world, there are some very unnecessary things.
The biggest feature of the mist world, apart from the curses that go hand in hand with the curses, is the "ritual" that started with the mysterious lady.
Although this power is controlled by the "Mysterious Lady", even if more people know about it, the mystery will not fade and the power will not be weakened.
Because the essence of the ritual is to "rent" extraordinary power.
Countries unanimously control the mysterious knowledge that can create ritual masters, not because it will weaken the power of rituals, but because the "mysterious knowledge" itself is too dangerous.
As long as the ritual fails~IndoMTL.com~, it will lead to various disasters-it may be earthquakes, tsunamis, heavy rains, droughts, or explosions of houses, people in the same town may fall into nightmares one after another, and all participants in the ritual may Becoming crazy, simply shortening one's lifespan, destroying the ritual site... whatever the outcome is, it will be troublesome.
On the other hand, holding the power of rituals will make ordinary people quickly expand - they do not have the curse of the extraordinary to restrain themselves, nor do they have the many souls that are condensed and eliminated when they advance to silver. distracting thoughts, acting more carelessly and impulsively without regard for the consequences.
In other words, controlling rituals does not mean that the power of rituals will be weakened because there are too many ritual masters...it is just the violent organs of the kingdoms on the earth, and their force cannot suppress or deter those folk ritual masters from obeying the law.
So, with the development of technology...
The miniaturization, black boxing, and officialization of ceremonies are the inevitable path to development.
And in the hundreds of years between, new and more useful rituals will inevitably appear. Because rituals can be created originally...as long as they comply with certain rules, they can be imported into the "truth" system.
According to Annan's observation, this "alien world" is closer to an Earth-like world view that "adopts part of the mist world setting".
It almost completely blocks the development of all non-magical rituals. Rather, it is like an imaginary city formed by using the magic knowledge of various schools, headed by the Transformation School, and combining it with the technology of the earth's twentieth century.
One thought created the world...
The power of the Bone Burial Granny even made Annan feel a little nervous.
What makes him hesitate now is.
After all, among the twelve righteous gods, each one has the same level of power...
Or is it that only the Bone Burial Granny is special?
