The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 41: Spirit Resonance Cauldron
"Old Bear, how are you?"
A slightly unfamiliar and more mature voice sounded in front of Annan: "Are you feeling a little better?
"We have limited time. If you recover a little, we will start the next experiment."
His voice was a little urgent. Judging from this tone, he should be the initiator of the "Spirit Body Resonance Cauldron" experiment.
That was not the same voice that had laughed at Bernardino before, so it seemed a little strange.
His attitude towards Bernardino is obviously better.
But Annan could also tell that this was not because he felt compassion for Bernardino's experience; it was just because Bernardino's voluntary participation allowed his experiment to continue.
The soul-stealing wizard can see the most unbearable past deep in everyone's heart... If you are someone who is easily saddened by the suffering of others, you may have to spend your whole life in sadness, let alone It's about modifying and deceiving other people's memories.
A person who can become a soul-stealing wizard must have a restrained heart that will not easily break the rules or easily use extraordinary power... but at the same time be rational and cold towards people, and be able to personally dismantle the enemy's soul and annihilate others. of sanity, erasing other people's most cherished memories without any hesitation.
Once you act softly, there will be hidden dangers. Erased memories may be recalled again, and modified or erased personalities may be reborn.
A mind-stealer who laments the suffering of others is like a surgeon who holds a scalpel but dare not watch others bleed.
"I feel...ok."
Annan said in a low voice: "Go on."
He realized that his voice was a little weak and hoarse, like the sound he made when he just woke up.
"Okay, let's continue."
The host of the experiment did not conduct a second verification.
Then he tied a device to Annan: "Open your mouth...bite."
——The texture when bitten is a bit like rubber bones. At least it prevents biting your tongue.
Annan commented from the bottom of his heart.
What does this do?
Ballball?
Because in the final analysis, Bernardino is just a "test subject who can share what he knows and feels."
"Go back to your place!"
The host's stern voice sounded, and the wizard apprentices who were pointing around Bernardino shut their mouths and returned to their respective positions.
"Raise the amethyst mirror. Use the d6 rule to ignite the white liquid fire, and then raise the black curtain.
"At the same time, open the spiritual body resonance cauldron. Start activating the blood of sea beasts——"
Following the fast-speaking instructions.
The sound of some kind of mechanical handle being pressed down sounded, and Annan vaguely heard the slight gurgling sound of liquid transmission.
"The mirror has risen, completed."
"The candle has been lit, it's over."
"The curtain has been closed, confirming that the ceremony venue has been restored."
"The blood of the sea beast has been activated."
"——Start injecting the blood of sea beasts, and infuse twice the amount slowly. Turn on the electric **** and start charging."
A slight tingling sensation came from Annan's forearm and calf, as if some cold liquid was gradually pouring in. Just like when you are getting an intravenous drip, you occasionally feel that the liquid is extremely cold and even soaks half of your body.
It was cold from the inside out.
But at this time, Annan felt a dangerous aura that was not good.
What is an electric prod?
He heard a strange low sound in his ears.
It's like the sound made by the "charging period" of the defibrillator in the TV series.
Annan suddenly realized why the experiment host asked himself "Are you feeling better" before, while others were still muttering "as if they just woke up".
... Damn it, what are you going to do?
Don’t come over——
It seems that through the judgment of some kind of indicator, the experiment host got the signal.
He suddenly spoke and commanded: "Insert the electric rod and start increasing the pressure. Give 120% pressure to the spirit body."
But fortunately, it is still different from what Annan imagined - at least it is not an Academy City-level operation of connecting electrodes to the temples. But he immediately felt that the "sea beast blood" input into his body began to become hot.
The blood vessels in his body suddenly became hot, numb and painful. It was like a high fever, making him want to squirm.
At this moment, Annan realized why he was fixed to the chair by the restraints and tied with a mouth strap - just so that he would not move around now.
"Pressure to 150%."
New instructions came.
The dizziness in Annan's mind became clearer. If he were walking down the street now, he would collapse to the ground within two steps. A strong nausea made his stomach churn, as if he was experiencing severe motion sickness, and his eyeballs became extremely hot.
This is even the severe discomfort Annan felt when he held the "Pain Elimination" curse.
——For mortals who are not extraordinary beings, this is tantamount to the torture of boiling the blood in the body. If this was the real Bernardino, if he didn't have a mouth strap, he might have chewed his tongue by now.
"Pressure to 180%...open the curtain..."
The strong dizziness caused the instructions in his ears to become a little blurry and distorted. Annan wanted to speak but could not say anything.
He gasped violently and smelled the ocean-like breath.
Although he was wearing a black eye mask, he felt like he was drowned by the strong light. Even with his eyes closed, his thinking space was dyed pure white.
The burning sensation and numbness in the blood vessels of his body began to gradually dissipate, and the light gradually made him lose consciousness.
"...Bell, Bell?"
Suddenly, a majestic middle-aged man's voice came from beside him.
Annan turned around suddenly, but suddenly realized that he could see.
Not only that... he seemed to have shrunk.
In other words, Annan has returned to his familiar height. ~IndoMTL.com~ He was sitting in a small wooden house on the beach just now, staring at the sea blankly.
"Why are you distracted?"
His head was hit hard but not lightly.
Annan turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe, gray hair and gray eyebrows, with a serious and majestic face, sitting next to him.
"I ask you again, Bernardino...are you sure you want to study natural philosophy instead of staying here to learn my sculpture craft?"
Father Ludwig frowned with a serious expression: "Studying is very hard, and research is even harder. You may not have any research results until you die, and you will live in poverty all your life... Even so, Do you also want to give up the privileged life you have at your fingertips?
"You just need to follow me and become a sculptor. You may even have the opportunity to become the bishop of Yaweng. Yaweng never cares about the identity of his believers. It is better to say that a life of poverty and close to the earth can give you more inspiration. Maybe.
"Although I have been living in seclusion for many years, the contact with my old friends has not been broken. I can directly make a set of sculptures with you, and then put your name on the exhibition... You will get sponsorship from the great nobles. and support. It is much better for you to make money to sponsor the research of natural philosophy than to study it yourself.
"Let me put it bluntly. You are not that material, your brain is not that good... You understand the world through imagination and inspiration, not logic and reason."
Although Father Ludwig said some ruthless words.
But Annan could easily hear the sincerity and rationality of these words.
He only has one thought in his mind now——
——The priest had made it so clear back then, why did Bernardino go to study natural philosophy?
His head is really iron... Even the iron-headed babies are not as iron-headed as him.
