The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 238: Gold made

"Player Super Justice ()"

Broken remains.

If translated literally, it can be understood as "living bones".

Because it is related to "skeletons", Annan paid special attention to this term.

...Speaking of which, this otherworldly nightmare was born after Lord Skeleton abandoned the realm of "skeletons".

So "Ai Lei" didn't hesitate at all.

She asked: "What is 'living skeleton'...?"

"As the name suggests, the body is about to die but not yet dead."

Eufemia whispered and touched her hair.

More than four-fifths of her hair has turned into a silvery gray as heavy as mercury, with only the ends looking a little alive.

"...This is proof that the transformation by the 'Curse of Living Corpses' is almost complete. If the curse takes full effect, I will become a faceless corpse."

She endured the fear in her heart and described it in detail.

——The so-called dying body, its physical manifestation is a skull.

If you have ever seen a mannequin, you will understand. That kind of plaster statue with no eyes, no mouth, no hair...the face is just blank and there is only a circle of head outline.

It's like the "head" of a plaster model. The spine, mouth, flesh and blood, and brain all need to be extracted... What is left in the end is a silver-gray hollow head that can be seen through when exposed to strong light.

That is the body that is about to die but not yet dead... also known as the "living body".

"Because it is already a skeleton, it will no longer be cursed, let alone killed...it is counted as a dead person in this world; and because it is not dead yet, it can be used to bear the curse, They can still hold desires. Because they have completely lost their sensory organs, body, and brain, their thoughts will be frozen until the last moment before death.

"According to the research of the Melvin family, such a 'living skeleton'... is still judged to be a person. It can be used as a cursed 'keeper', and it can also purify nightmares through rituals The cost of failure is passed on to the dead.

"From this point of view, it is a gift that they sent me for marriage...because the person who is sent for marriage will have the curse of the living body removed. Of course, the confidentiality curse must still be signed."

Euphemia said slowly: "But I don't want to follow them.

"—They make me sick."

What kind of expression does she have on her face?

Not just fear... but anger, hatred, nausea, and overwhelming sadness.

"Many people have been curious. Each generation of the Melvin family has so many newborns...but there are not many 'family elders' who can develop abilities for the fetuses. They are 'sold' for marriage. There are not many young boys and girls, and there is only one successor to the God of the World. So where have the others gone?"

The corners of Euphemia's mouth raised slightly, revealing an emotionless and sarcastic sneer: "They usually only have two uses... either for making 'living corpses', or for making 'dead bodies'" The chrysalis'."

The so-called "chrysalis of death" is the "undyed solid soul".

If a silver-level transcendent loses his obsession and fails when advancing to gold, he will become an empty shell that has lost his mind. This is also the "chrysalis of death" - a golden-level immortal body and soul, but no longer has the ability to perceive the world and drive the body.

Like a butterfly that has not broken out of its cocoon.

"Living remains need to be placed for more than ten years or even decades before they can be used normally. And during these decades, they must be in the 'human world'. They are hidden in Shenzhi'er's bedroom, study, Wall cracks and even any corner..."

Euphemia's words made Selicia couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

...A young child who doesn't understand anything and is not allowed to leave his residence, there are actually a large number of "skulls" in his living space?

"And if [Melvin] needs it, he can combine the 'living skeleton' and the 'death chrysalis' through a ritual... to obtain a 'gold-level transcendent that can only be used once.'

"In the ritual, it is necessary to kill a person in a more precise way - to remove his brain while he is still alive and completely transplant it into the 'brain hole' of the living skeleton. Use his pain And the fear of death, awakening the living skeleton...

"At that moment, in the mind of the 'living corpse' that has been stagnant for decades, the memories that have been frozen for decades will be awakened at the same time... The intense and intense emotions that have burst out from the decades of dying but not dying. The pure desire to survive can be used as a key to drive the 'death chrysalis' that has lost its desire to reach gold instantly. And this powerful 'body' is driven by the person whose skull has been stripped off.

"At this time...as long as you control the mind of the person whose skull has been removed through soul-stealing spells or idol spells, you can indirectly control this great power. Before the 'initiator' dies completely, in Before the soul of 'Death Chrysalis' is burned out, he can be driven at will.

"This plan is called 'gold refining'. 'Only death and pain can make gold'... That's what they said. But what they want to do is not to make gold, but to make gold. 'A transcendent person of the golden rank'."

Euphemia was silent for a while and whispered: "And in the Melvin family's residence...

"More than a dozen 'Death Chrysalis' have been stored. The number of living remains is in three figures... Even the Grand Duke of Winter does not know their plan.

"There is no doubt that this is an act of rebellion."

"...That's it."

Annan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

——One person provides the body and the most important "fuel", one person provides the "permission" to use, and one person provides the "key" to start.

The Melvin family divided the "golden level" that is difficult for mortals to reach into three steps... using the lives of one extraordinary person who failed to advance to gold, and two extraordinary people who did not even need silver, It can be implemented directly.

...Although cruel and terrifying, this idea is indeed quite genius.

If the Archduke of Winter was a cruel tyrant who could consume human lives as numbers, he would surely applaud and plan to plunder this technology at all costs.

——But for Annan, this is a useless thing.

Even a gold-level transcendent cannot leave the Great Barrier without obtaining the Book of Truth.

It would be too troublesome to carry out cross-border strikes through smuggling, closed transportation, or airdrops from airships. Compared with this one-time gold level without any experience, players who can teleport and resurrect at will and have a high probability of being promoted to gold are much more useful.

It’s impossible for the Melvin family not to know this.

In other words, from the very beginning, they targeted the application of this forbidden technology...that is, their imaginary enemies in China. ~IndoMTL.com~ Because of the existence of the frost beast troops, there is no possibility of a large-scale rebellion in the Principality of Winter. Frost beasts are absolutely lethal and suppressive to all sentient animals - because they are hatched from the breath of the old grandmother.

If you want to resist the frost beast, you need to have at least the power of the elements.

That is to say.

The so-called "gold condensed from pain and death" is a sharp knife used to fight against frost beast troops.

The Melvin family has always been hoarding power... This is why they do not allow family members to escape privately or reveal secrets.

And Frederick seemed to have been trained as a "tribe elder", that is, the superior of the Melvin family. In other words, he is the "Operator of the Golden Body", or a candidate for "God on Earth".

That's why he was not marked with the "curse of living corpses".

He went to Professor Gray to learn the ritual because the Melvin family planned to train him to be the operator of the "gold refining ritual".

In other words, the Melvin family actually has a very clear hierarchy - those who can inherit the "God on Earth" are the real superiors and heirs of the family. And all those in this generation who do not have an heir to the God of the World will become the "Elders", that is, the actual leaders of the Melvin family.

——Other than that, the rest of the tribe are all expendable.

The true Supreme Being, the "God on Earth", continues his "existence" through successive generations of successors... while the remaining people cannot come into contact with the God on Earth, or even see the full picture of things. Anyone who understands deeply will be destroyed by terror——

"...wait?"

Anan was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this equivalent to the Eternal Principality - or another "possibility" of this otherworldly nightmare?
