The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 308: The cycle continues…?

"Player Super Justice ()"

Looking at the girl with long pink and purple hair who was diligently sticking to her side, Annan also felt a little helpless.

Celicia is like an abandoned puppy that has found a new owner... She seems particularly well-behaved, fearing that she will be abandoned again. Even if he belittles his own personality, he must try his best to show Annan his loyalty and availability.

It can also be seen from this that Vladimir's attempt to kill her and silence her caused much harm to Selicia.

——This is probably enough to create a psychological shadow.

"It doesn't have to be this way, Selicia."

Annan said calmly: "I said, I will make good use of you."

He had already put on the clothes again, and his left shoulder was shining slightly, looking like a mobile phone showing "Charging".

The people sat back down in the living room where they first met, still in their previous positions.

Only two hours have passed.

But their identities and positions have changed dramatically.

Celicia's wariness and vigilance towards Annan completely disappeared - it was not that she trusted Annan immediately, but that she forced herself to trust Annan absolutely. This will prevent you from being abandoned again due to loss of trust.

——This is definitely a mental illness.

Annan could only sigh helplessly.

In Celicia's eyes, this made her immediately nervous: "Your Majesty, forgive me for being stupid... What is the hidden meaning in your words? What should I do?"

...No, I'm not hiding anything.

Annan said this in his heart, but kept a straight face: "Of course there will be many things.

"It is precisely because you are useful and trustworthy that I will give these tasks to you. But because of this, your value is higher than theirs, and you need to protect yourself even more. Don't let it go easily. Get yourself hurt...because your life is my thing. Do you understand?"

Annan tried to be as tactful as possible, comforting Selicia in a way that she could understand and wanted to understand, and repeatedly told her "I will not abandon you."

——Celicia is no longer a child.

She is used to being a tool or a pet - this strange personality has already been formed, and it is not a matter of time to cure it.

If she continues not to get the response she wants, it may cause Selicia to have bigger problems due to anxiety and fear...or simply make things worse.

Let’s just follow her words. Then slowly cultivate her self-confidence, encourage her, and let her gradually adapt...

After all, Selicia is indeed a talent.

She is now also at the top of the silver level. She has also reached the gold level and has experience in using the power of elements. As long as her power continues to grow, it will be easier than others to enter the gold level.

And when she was still in the Winter Hand reserve team, Selicia was particularly good at killing people.

After she became Selicia, in order to hide her identity and not have too many things in common, she never used swordsmanship - after all, Selicia first appeared around the same time as Solonik. Missing time.

But things are different now.

She became the Hand of Winter, and her identity was completely hidden. Solonik will also be secretly photographed, so Selicia can regain the swordsmanship she first learned and is her most talented.

By then, maybe one more person will be added to the "Ten Fingers".

And it just so happened that there was a new trouble on Annan's side - the three sirens in the "tyrant" form he held had lost their absolute control over the Hand of Winter. Then it would be unsafe to be promoted to "Ten Fingers" from the old Hand of Winter.

But players are not familiar enough with the Hand of Winter, and they are not yet familiar with the Principality of Winter.

The essence of the "Ten Fingers" is the management of the Hand of Winter and the shadow ruler of the entire Principality of Winter. If they are not familiar enough with the ministers and nobles, and are very unfamiliar with the Hands of Winter under their command, it will be difficult to manage the players who are parachuted in.

——But Selicia is different.

She was born in the Principality of Winter, and has a great understanding of winter, and because of her origin, she hates the nobles very much... There is no need to worry about her colluding with the local nobles.

Celicia was also born in the Hand of Winter, and was a student personally brought out by the former "right thumb", the highest official of the Hand of Winter. She also has knowledge of the management of the Hand of Winter.

She is the best candidate.

Using Selicia as the "new finger" to prove that Annan's reign has begun... seems pretty good.

"I will entrust you with an important task."

Annan repeated: "The premise is...your answer satisfies me."

"——Please ask."

Celicia put her hands on her knees, sat upright in her seat, and looked at Annan seriously: "I will tell you everything I know."

"Actually, it's very simple...it's the thing you wanted to hide from me before."

"...That's what the old man - no, what Vladimir said before."

Celicia instinctively wanted to say "teacher", but she immediately reacted and denied it: "There was actually a reason why he left you back then... He wanted to find worms."

"He has been found now, I know this."

Annan nodded and then asked: "Are there any other details besides this? I don't think what he said is exhaustive... If you know anything else, you might as well tell it.

"Even if it is what Vladimir once told you, other things about worms are also fine. Maybe among the things you think are not important, there are things that I am particularly concerned about... maybe."

"...I remember the teacher said that the elves were worshiping worms a long time ago. At least when they were still in the living desert...and the initial discovery of spell power seemed to be related to Worms."

Selicia frowned and subconsciously picked up a strand of her hair, rubbing it gently while trying to remember: "It's not that the curse energy itself has something to do with the worms, but the use of the curse energy that allowed the elves to discover it. They discovered some secrets about worms. From then on, they began to worship worms on a large scale.

"The worm is an extremely evil thing that even demons can't avoid. Its physical image is not a worm, but a snake biting its own tail, with many gray-white double rings in the shape of '8' on its body. That’s why it is called the ‘Snake that is not a snake’, and in more secret worship, He is also called the ‘Ouroboros’.”

...wait?

Annan was suddenly startled: "This image..."

Where did he see it?

No, it’s not an illusion——

Annan remembered. ~IndoMTL.com~ When he perfectly cleared "Nightmare: Gallery" and advanced to Silver.

Among the three curses he chose, there was one called "The Cycle Continues", which is this image!

Because the negative effects of the curse are too harsh, "Every time you betray others, you will eventually be betrayed by others." So in the end Annan hesitated and didn't choose it.

This curse seems to have the weakest effect. As long as Annan does not betray others, it does not exist.

But Annan didn't want his behavior to be kidnapped by the curse.

He is not a particularly normal person to begin with... He has always strictly abided by his own "morals" and "common sense" and never exceeded the rules. But if his behavior is constrained by the curse that "if he betrays others, he will suffer retribution," the situation is different.

His will will weaken and his personality will change.

Annan did not hope that when he chose not to betray others as a matter of course, it was because "this would be more in line with his own interests" rather than because of his own morality and common sense.

If at that time, he had chosen this curse.

Then maybe when he climbs the spider silk, his will will weaken and he will be lost in that nightmare forever.

So Annan has never regretted it.

But until now...

Annan finally knew what was hidden in that curse.

"...As early as the very beginning, was I already targeted by worms?"

Annan murmured: "'The cycle continues'? That is the cycle between the betrayer and the betrayed..."

——Or is it the cycle of worms and cranes?
