The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 244: Only what is remembered
"Player Super Justice ()"
Because of the existence of many spells, rituals, curses and other extraordinary abilities, nothing in this world is completely "impossible".
So, if you want to use the traditional technology of "eliminate all impossibilities, the rest is inevitable", it is impossible to do it.
However, Annan obviously does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder that requires evidence.
He trusts his instincts more.
Compared with seeking "there is only one truth" which can only be offered to nothingness, "motivation theory" is a more useful and practical methodology.
"Okay," Annan suddenly said, distracting Ai Lei, "I'm going to help you take a bath and rearrange your hair..."
Hearing this, Ailei was immediately shocked.
——What, what, what, what, what, take a bath?
She panicked immediately, and the previously complicated thoughts in her mind were suddenly swept away.
【...Huh? Wait, wait a minute——】
"It's okay, Ailei. You can trust me...you can feel all this anyway, right? I won't do anything to you."
[It’s not that... but... no matter what... it’s not impossible... but, but this... I think...]
Ai Lei became confused again, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
Annan chuckled lightly.
So cute.
"Ai Lei" opened the quilt and got out of bed with bare feet. Because she was still wearing pajamas, the real Ailei who was hiding in the heart of "Ailei" was not so embarrassed that she shut down her computer directly.
She narrowed her pupils slightly and looked around.
Perhaps the biggest difference from the gallery nightmare... is that there are more toys in the room.
They are all useless and have no fun. Maybe you won’t play with them a few times after buying them, but at first glance they are the kind of “passion shopping”-the kind that is used by children when they go out and say “I want this”. The kind of novelty toys that parents buy to trick their children.
The key point is that it reveals another meaning.
This means that not only can Ai Lei leave this house... but her parents will go out with her to play.
In real history, in the final period - Elle was not allowed to leave home at all.
She is like a canary in a cage.
The "Ai Lei" here is a bird that can fly freely.
"That's great."
Annan sighed for no reason.
【...Well, that's great】
Ai Lei whispered, echoing in her heart.
Her mood also calmed down a bit, and her reaction was not so intense.
Glancing at the half-painted oil painting and half-written lyrics on the desk, Annan couldn't help but chuckle.
He realized that this was evidence that Ailei judged that he was "out to collect materials."
…That’s not wrong.
On the other hand, Ailei asked a few more questions suspiciously, but she still didn't understand why Annan was laughing.
Annan quickly finished taking a shower, combed her hair under Ailei's guidance, put on clothes for going out, and left the house.
Before going out, Annan took a special look at his watch.
——Two: fifty p.m.
Do different purifiers have different free time every day?
Well, that makes sense.
"Ai Lei" left the house - what greeted her eyes was the golden wheat field.
The sunshine at noon is bright and warm, as quiet as a fairyland far away from the world. "Ai Lei's" white skirt and hair were quietly blown by the cool breeze.
She straightened her hair and listened quietly for a while.
"...Actually, if you are here, you should realize that something is wrong."
【Where, where...? ! 】
Ai Lei obviously hadn't recovered from the shock of Annan helping her take a bath before, so she responded with some embarrassment.
【I'm just an idiot anyway, okay——】
"Indeed," Annan chuckled, squinting his emerald green pupils and said leisurely, "otherwise, maybe you can solve this nightmare with your own strength...probably."
【What on earth is it...】
"It's too quiet, Ailei...listen."
Annan closed his eyes, gently tapped his earlobe with his right hand, and tilted his head slightly to the right.
"There's no sound...right."
【...So what? 】
"Did Amos plant this wheat field?"
Annan smiled and said: "Since someone planted it, why didn't anyone come to harvest it? Then why is there no sound of people around?
"Since there is a large wheat field here... then why can't you hear any insects or birds? And the most important thing - the rustle of the wind blowing the wheat waves, do you hear it?"
The answer is, nothing.
Just like a landscape painting.
But it is only at the level of [semi-finished product].
This world can only be regarded as a fragment...a fragment of a dream like a fairy tale.
"You may not know, Elle. There must be bugs in the wheat fields, as well as voles, sparrows, rabbits... and wolves."
【...Wolf? 】
"That's right. The farmers of The Theocracy and the United Kingdom will let back their children who want to play in the wheat fields and step on the wheat because there are wolves in them. There will still be one in The Theocracy and the United Kingdom until now. The ceremony is called 'Child Wolf Wine'."
Annan told the story in a coaxing tone.
But there was a meaningful smile on his lips.
"Some elderly Theocracy and the nobles of the United Kingdom believe that there is a soul in the rice. The reason why they eat hand-pounded rice instead of machine rice in the rice mill is because they believe that the rice in the rice mill is ground. If it is too broken, the soul in the rice will run out. This soul is called the 'Essence of the Valley', and it usually appears in the form of a wolf in the wheat fields... also known as the 'Wolf of the Valley'.
"Farmers who believe in wolves in the valley will be the last to cut off the 'mother of corn' in the field. The so-called 'mother of corn' is the first ear of wheat that bends when the wind blows through the wheat field. They believe There is a 'Valley Spirit' in the form of a wolf hidden inside. Those who were injured and bled without noticing when cutting wheat were bitten by wolves in the valley.
"They will take seven ears of wheat from the 'corn mother', anoint it with oil and incense, and put it on the bed as if it were a child. Family members must also follow the tradition of giving birth and carefully observe the three-day taboo. It's like giving birth to a real child.
"The ears of wheat treated with rituals will be called 'Child Wolf'. It only needs one ear of wheat, which is equivalent to the value of a wheat field... The wine made from 'Child Wolf' , it will be called 'Child Wolf Wine~IndoMTL.com~ and is regarded as the most valuable thing in farmers' homes."
【Okay...so amazing! 】
Ai Lei praised.
She asked impatiently.
[Then what’s the use of Childish Wolf Wine? 】
"The answer is...it doesn't work."
【...Huh? 】
"Because the **** Wolf of the Valley is fictional. In fact, it is an incarnation of the tragedian when he was a mortal... It does not have any divine power at all. It is a 'non-existent god'.
"Then the question is, why do people believe in the existence of wolves in the valley? Think about it, Elle."
As Anan spoke, his footsteps continued.
Alei curled up in his heart, thinking hard and seriously.
[Is it because... no priests were born among them? Mortals will not be given magical powers, so...]
"It's a little bit close, but it's still not right."
A smile full of malice and compassion appeared on the corner of Annan's mouth.
"The correct answer is - even if they can't get any magic, even if their reason has already told them that the wolf in the valley does not exist at all. But they would rather believe that... the wolf in the valley does exist.
"Because apart from the Wolf in the Valley, they can no longer contact the other gods; and if it is determined that the Wolf in the Valley is false, then what they have done so far will appear so stupid and blasphemous. They have so far The peaceful and peaceful life we have enjoyed so far will be completely disrupted."
So, the more you believe that the wolf in the valley may be a non-existent person and a smart person who can see through everything... the more you will maintain this lie.
"Then, let me ask you one more thing."
【...What? 】
"The Eternal God...does he exist? Or--
"Does His existence make sense?"
