The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 287: Black Rock Curse Cellar
"Player Super Justice ()"
Annan finally understood where Jacob’s honorific name “The Opener of the Hole” came from——
Generally speaking, ritual masters determine their status and strength based on their mastery of mysterious knowledge.
Because if it involves mysterious knowledge above the "historical" level, almost any ritual can have a strong effect.
For example, revealing the secrets hidden by others out of thin air, making the sky as dim as the night sky, triggering a war in a disputed area... There is also the heterogeneous ability "Winter Breath" that Annan obtained through the ritual. It is also a "historical" level of mysterious knowledge.
About the secret of the "other world", even just telling it is enough to destroy the sanity of mortals. It can be used to construct nightmares and can also invade other people's nightmares.
And the secret of creation is even more profound. Just saying it is powerful enough to obliterate the fallen one who transformed into a demon. If it is fully utilized in the ritual, I am afraid that it can confront the powerful people of the truth level head-on.
The mysterious knowledge that Jacob controls is not at the "historical" level at the highest level. Just general knowledge about "truth" and "customs"...probably the same level as Vasily's father.
By combining these light secrets and nesting them into each other, we can create a secret that is at least equivalent to the "historical" level...
...Is Ning an individual player?
Annan was certain that he had never seen this ritual used by Jacob anywhere else.
If this ritual becomes popular, many barriers will become completely meaningless. To put it a bit alarmist... Even closing the door at home cannot protect safety, and doors and windows cannot give people a sense of security. Whether you are a thief, robber or killer, committing crimes will become much simpler.
Because this ritual is a ritual of creating a "door" on the "wall" and opening it. However, the "mysterious knowledge" required for this ritual is not very heavy, which means that a slightly more skilled ritual master can use this ritual...
"Please remember not to spread this ritual to others."
Annan said seriously: "Do you understand?"
"I definitely wouldn't do that."
Jacob was stunned for a moment, and then he said with great certainty: "If I could do this, then I would have gone to the United Kingdom or underground to find a place to raise a group of thieves or killers. So. With my abilities, most defense methods cannot stop me.
"Group teleportation, object teleportation, wall penetration, lifting and piercing barriers... But I will not do this, Your Majesty. Because I know what effect my knowledge will have if it spreads."
He said with a smile, pointing to his temple: "This is 'poisonous knowledge'.
“Poison is the key that can open all locks. Poisonous knowledge will also penetrate every joint of the country and society like poison through the human body; it will kill many innocent people just like poison kills flesh and blood.
"Although I am definitely not a good person... I am a thief, I am a spy, and I am also a liar. But at least I am not a devil who likes to watch the world burn. I am more or less a human being."
"Then, first of all, I wish you to become a good person."
Annan smiled and extended his hand generously: "Maybe he will become a great man in the future."
Hearing Annan's words, Jacob was also startled.
The smile on his face gradually disappeared, he solemnly stretched out his hands to hold Annan's hand, and said seriously: "Then... I'll lend you some good words."
He was very careful not to let his wound touch Annan's hand. That was probably not because he was worried about hurting himself, but because he didn't want blood to stain Annan's hands.
Annan's white and slender right hand seemed to be shining against the background of Jacob's rough and scarred hand and under the sunlight.
It would be better to say... At this moment, Annan's whole body seemed to be glowing.
After leaving the barrier, the glowing powder that filled the surroundings was also left within the barrier.
That half ball of light is like an upside-down bowl.
After they left the barrier through the "door" opened by Jacob, the barrier still remained in place.
That's good - the barrier blocks sound and light, so they won't know that Count Yuri is dead. At least this way you won't alert the enemy.
As for the final earl ball, Annan asked Zolgen to cut off part of it and pack it away. The remaining meat, including the "other" Count Yuri... was incinerated by the Four Dark Friendships.
They will not let the remnants of Count Yuri continue to exist in this world.
After all, it is not impossible to resurrect a corpse with curse energy. But without a corpse, with their level of knowledge and IQ, it is impossible to resurrect a person.
The so-called...cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.
Through Zoya's prophetic spells and the information provided by Jacob, they quickly found the location of the curse cellar.
The location of this barrier is not very far, less than five kilometers. After walking for a while, everyone arrived there... The strange thing was that they did not encounter other armed forces on the way.
This shows that Count Yuri has not prepared any backup except himself. There were not even guards arranged around the cursed cellar.
"Because it doesn't make sense."
Thus said Jacob.
Soon, Annan and the others knew the meaning of this sentence——
As they approached the curse cellar, they felt a strong sense of discomfort.
The heart beats constantly, as if it has an irregular heartbeat. His brain felt swollen and his breathing became rapid.
"...There won't be radiation here, right?"
The wandering child said worriedly: "You won't be infected by this curse of mine, will you?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Otherwise, the Earl would have started using the magic power long ago. He wouldn't have turned on the device after seeing us..."
After approaching the curse cellar, they heard an obvious buzzing sound.
The [Curse Cellar] cannot be seen from the outside at all.
Its entrance is a vertical passage dug downwards from the peak of a mountain, like an elevator shaft. There were three barriers placed at the door, but Jacob easily "pierced" them.
From the inside, there is a roughly diamond-shaped spiral staircase that goes downwards. The further you go down, the higher and higher the temperature will feel... and a strange pumping sound gradually comes from your ears, and your heart beats rhythmically with that sound. ~IndoMTL.com~ The surrounding black walls do not seem to be masonry... but like blood vessels.
"Woo..."
Russell, who was shrinking in Annan's arms, was whimpering uneasily, his body was stiff, and he didn't dare to move.
When she was bombed by Count Yuri before, she had no fear at all and didn't even scream... But now that she was close to the curse cellar, she started to tremble. It seemed that he was screaming, begging Annan not to continue diving.
Russell's entire dog's body froze - he was frightened. She was shivering non-stop, like a mobile phone that was stuffed in her arms and set to vibrate. The buzzing made Annan's chest hurt.
After Annan and his team dived to a depth that exceeded a critical value.
The world in front of him suddenly became distorted.
It’s like the frame rate is too high and the screen is torn——
Fragments of history appeared before his eyes. It seemed like someone was doing something in a dark room with a lamp on, pointing at something on a map, or carving something...
But those images had no sound, and they passed by in a flash, almost only one or two frames. Annan didn't see it clearly at all, only a vague impression remained.
"Go further down..."
Jacob's voice became distorted: "We are about to enter the cursed cellar!
"Attention - grab the hand of the person next to you -"
His voice was tinted with a strange mechanical sound.
The "fractured scenes" in front of him also began to increase significantly, and Annan also heard whispers in his ears. But he still couldn't hear clearly what was being said...
We can only check the recording and broadcast later, Annan thought.
The next moment, Annan suddenly felt a strong dizziness——
His system, which had almost no sense of existence, rarely showed a line of bright red prompts:
【——Warning, you are entering the black rock curse cellar】
