The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 50: Heartbound

A convincing and kind smile appeared on Julius's old face: "[You are completely tired of making sculptures], and you were even depressed to the point of going crazy before... Oh, shouldn't I do this? Tell you? Then please forget these words...Okay, you will forget these words in the future."

"Isn't this something I shouldn't know?"

Annan's face showed a little fear.

But in his heart, he just remembered the details calmly.

...Although I didn’t think about it specifically, there are too many details.

Annan didn't want to think by himself, but he still guessed everything easily.

Julius did not use suggestion to force "Bernardino" to forget this sentence. And Dr. Julius had already dropped hints for "Bernardino" from the very beginning.

In other words, this was a lie trap specially laid out to prevent "Bernardino" from noticing that hints of amnesia had been planted for him from the very beginning.

Dr. Julius is not a real doctor.

In other words, he did not sincerely hope that "Bernardino" could recover...but that he hoped that he would give up this path.

——This is the path Father Ludwig gave up his own life to pave for Bernardino.

I am afraid that even Bernardino himself underestimated his talent in sculpture.

If Annan understood it correctly... that would even have a chance of becoming a god.

He possesses such artistic talent, which means that he can easily reach the position of bishop and even enter the cardinal level. That is true “powerful” identity.

For the son of a fisherman, if he misses this opportunity, he will never find it again...the opportunity to completely change his destiny.

Father Ludwig is sincerely good to Bernardino. He could not agree to Bernardino entering the seminary, which would mean a waste of his talents. It is even less likely that he would write any recommendation letter for Bernardino——

Because at this time, Father Ludwig is dead!

He was even killed by Bernardino himself!

As an elite ritualist, Annan was very aware that... the process of Bernardino killing Father Ludwig was a very complex complex ritual. This is obviously the product of Father Ludwig's careful planning for a long time.

He specifically imposed unreasonable restrictions on Bernardino, making himself a "shackle" for Bernardino's pursuit of freedom.

The statue made by Bernardino has a soul in it. Because he remembers the soul of what he sees and writes it again.

In other words, he is the type of sculptor who has a "photographic memory". As long as you take one look at someone, you can carve out an image similar to their soul without looking at a picture. Even if he uses disguise in front of Bernardino, he can't hide his true nature.

The destruction ceremony has a basic requirement...Only the "objects" you love can be used in the destruction ceremony. That's why the priest asked him to make a large number of stone statues similar to his own, in order to confuse Bernardino's mind about the difference between "killing" and "destroying rituals".

It was not that he "killed" his adoptive father, but that he "destroyed" the shackles.

He used this method to turn himself into a "limiter" that restricted Bernardino's talent. Break all the constraints of Bernardino's origin, education, character, morality, and imagination.

In this way, Bernardino's soul is no longer bound.

This is not just a simple destruction ceremony, but also a substitution ceremony that uses the "Law of Similarity"... just like burning "filthy things".

As long as Dr. Julius peels away Bernardino's guilt, fear, and confusion, Bernardino may even hope to become the next "Stone Father" and Yaweng's follower!

...This whole process is like the priest's evaluation of Bernardino.

It's not like carving the stone into the desired shape; it's like he just chiseled away the remaining material that was originally the jade in the stone.

The peerless sculptor, Father Ludwig.

He is not retiring to pass on his legacy to Bernardino.

Instead, he spent several years... sacrificing his own life to create a peerless sculpture.

——Bernardino itself is the last work of Father Ludwig!

The process of the ritual itself is quite complex, but it is very easy to understand if broken down. As a professor at the Tower of Black Glory, Julius could not possibly know anything about this. Rather, he is the final link, the step that blows away the dust on the sculpture and polishes it to brilliance.

But the old wizard Julius gave Bernardino another answer.

He erased Bernardino's memory of killing Father Ludwig and kept him away from the path of sculpture. He even tricked him into entering "Denisoya Theological Seminary", claiming that Bernardino had obtained a letter of recommendation from Father Ludwig.

This is naturally what Bernardino hopes for in his heart.

So he believed it.

In other words, after losing the most impactful experience of "ritual: vast destruction" that could reshape one's personality, Bernardino wanted to believe that this was true.

And what happens next can be imagined...

——Bernardino certainly didn’t lose any letters of recommendation.

Because there are no letters of recommendation at all, they didn’t exist from the beginning.

It's just that he thought "this letter of recommendation exists" because it clearly existed in his memory. And this was also the reason why he kept worrying about not going home or even contacting the old priest after he spent all the money.

He hoped to escape the fact that he "killed his adoptive father", and this mentality was amplified and distorted by his psychiatrist-it turned into "You swore to become an outstanding big shot before you can go back to see Luther" Vichy] Such constraints.

This is not a curse, but a **** of words.

It is even more bound by the heart.

From then on, he could no longer make good sculptures.

He was knocked back to the "apprentice" stage, and because the shackles were never broken and he was depressed, his work was worse than when he was an apprentice.

Annan even guessed that...it was probably Professor Julius who finally invited Bernardino into the Tower of Black Glory.

Why would he invite a passerby into the Tower of Black Glory?

I am afraid that part of it is pity for his situation, and part of it is curiosity about the fate of their reunion... But more importantly, it is to ruthlessly and completely cut off Bernardino's sculpture path, so that he will no longer No more home, no more sculptures, no more epiphanies.

Thus, Father Ludwig's sacrifice became meaningless.

——But this is by no means an elaborate trap.

Because it was filled with too many holes and was too rushed. That is to say, because Father Ludwig did not want him to be distracted and overprotective, Bernardino did not understand the world of extraordinary people, so he was not vigilant enough to accept Julius's hints.

The fate of Bernardino ~IndoMTL.com~ has now taken a different path.

Getting to the root of it...

"Hey..."

Annan sighed deeply and raised his head.

He looked at Julius faintly.

At that moment, a moment of astonishment flashed in Julius's eyes.

"...It's jealousy, right."

He sighed softly: "I see jealousy in your eyes.

"Jealousy of Bernardino, and...jealousy of your friend, Ludwig."
