The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 51: Death has mushrooms left
It must have been a long time before the more than one hundred successors came to the underground city.
Even if they suddenly decide not to come, Nefertari will not blame them for this - as a wise person, she naturally knows that "a favor should not turn into an enemy."
The most important thing right now is to help those three young people.
Let their souls no longer be meaninglessly eroded by nightmares.
"I really don't understand what happened in the nightmare 'Spore Mill'. Just like you don't understand either..."
After all, this nightmare is too dangerous.
Once inside, it’s hard to get out—like a larva caught in a spider’s web.
Those who barely survived this nightmare never dared to try it again.
——A wise man never acts recklessly.
When she realized that this nightmare could not be purified by her own strength, she would not even try - it was a meaningless act that put herself in danger.
Not only did Nefertari never enter this nightmare, she even stopped Nieussel who wanted to enter this nightmare.
Back then, Neusser was not as stable as he is now.
He is still a passionate young man, like a big dog who plays wildly. I still don’t understand that there are some things in this world that cannot be changed by one’s own efforts - this is the truth.
But Nefertari didn't do nothing.
Although she has never entered this nightmare once, she has also done some research in her spare time.
——She just did it just in case.
If there is any chance to solve this nightmare in the future, or if the situation is so urgent that we have to enter the nightmare, we can grasp the situation as quickly as possible. You won't have to start loading bullets when the enemy is in front of you.
This is called foresight.
"I have already investigated what happened in the black mushroom mill back then."
Nefertari said to Nieussel seriously: "You can tell them these things. Maybe you can help them."
"Just tell me, I will remember it."
Overseer Neuser nodded.
"As you know...the accident at the Black Mushroom Mill happened in July seven years ago. In another seven months, it will be seven years now."
At this point, Nefertari paused slightly.
Speaking of which, "seven" is a lucky number.
Does this also indicate something?
She shook her head slightly and continued: "The miller's name is Ian, and he has a dwarf wife and a seven-year-old daughter Alice.
"At that time, strange diseases were prevalent in this city for a while."
People working in the mushroom industry suddenly began to develop blisters on their bodies. They start out as red spots, but then turn into clear blisters that become unbearably itchy.
As they continue to be exposed to mushrooms, these blisters will gradually become larger and more transparent until it becomes difficult to work. If the blister is popped, people around you may be infected by the blister.
"Seven years ago..."
Nieussel thoughtfully said: "Were you in the Bone-Eating Forest at that time?"
"Well, it's not that far from here."
Nefertari nodded and asked casually: "And you were still in the exploration layer... around the Coal Barrens?"
Nieussel hummed: "Yes, I was very lucky at the time. Later I discovered another mining area, which is the Misero Excavation Site."
"Then you probably don't know this. At that time, this place was not well-known. It was a logging area built around the 'Misty Forest' and was temporarily named 'Black Mushroom Mill'. It was not a serious urban area. , so there are no wise men and diggers.
"The lumberjacks realized that they might be infected by some spores... so they sent a disease-free messenger to the nearest city - the 'bone raising ground' near the Bonechewer Forest. My The teacher was there."
Nefertari said, reaching out to touch the ritual plate behind him.
Under her drag, a light blue light appeared on the ritual plate. He quickly outlined the locations of the Ash Forest, Bone-Eating Forest, Bone Raising Ground, and Black Mushroom Mill.
“‘Bone Healer’ Seti?”
Neousel reacted immediately.
Nefertari became a wise man at a young age, which has something to do with her teacher, a gold-level transcendent.
As the most powerful idol wizard in the Underground Federation, Seti is also the best healer and knowledgeable ritualist. No one wants to offend him.
After all, no one knows when they will suddenly need help from a doctor...
Nefertari learned knowledge about mysterious rituals from Seti, and also learned some fur healing skills by the way. Because she didn't want to become an extraordinary person, she was able to graduate from Master Seti early and become a wise man through Seti's relationship.
"...isn't it right?"
Neusser quickly noticed some contradiction: "If Master Seti was there, this small problem should be solved quickly."
Since he has never heard of it now, this strange disease has appeared in the black mushroom mill before. That means it was a small matter...at least it was taken care of in the end.
After all, he has never seen similar symptoms in all these years.
"That's the problem."
Nefertari said slowly: "This is not a disease, but a poison.
"It is the poison that is placed in the mushrooms by followers of the 'Black Widow', the **** of poison and spiders."
"...So Master Seti can't solve it?"
"How is it possible? Just to see through and resolve the unknown curse hidden in the 'poison', the teacher needs more time to develop the antidote."
The red-haired woman took a deep breath: "But... the lumberjacks can't wait any longer.
"For some unknown reason, a theory quickly emerged among them: that this strange disease has no cure, and that the messenger has taken the opportunity to escape... He will not come back again.
"Panic arose among the lumberjacks. But they soon noticed that, as part of their industry of exposure to mushrooms, Ian's family was not sick.
"They asked Ian why he was not sick. But Ian obviously didn't know that it was because he had not been exposed to poisonous mushrooms. In the end, the panicked lumberjacks quickly came to the conclusion: It was Ian. Poisoned by one family."
"There is no evidence, and it is undoubtedly a false connection. But they were originally unhappy with Ian's family - Ian, who is also a worker, but owns a mushroom mill, spends less money and uses more. Earn more money with less effort.
"In the end, in the process of 'asking for an explanation' and 'asking for an antidote,' they broke up with the Ian family. However, there were Black Widow believers mixed in with the crowd'
Deward', but at this time he once again encouraged others to use the livers of Ian's family to grind an antidote.
"You know, this was a traditional remedy back in the pioneer days. Of course, now we know it doesn't work... but they didn't know anything about it.
"At that time, about a quarter of the loggers agreed to Deward's instigation. Although others felt that it was inappropriate and too radical, they ultimately did not stop the loggers' atrocities - after all, Iraq The En family is unfamiliar with all of them.
"They are just watching from a distance.
"Ian's wife is a murderer from the Principality of Winter who escaped from prison... She is a Silver-level Transcendent criminal. But she is disabled and has been tortured by frost beasts for a long time. She was imprisoned again that year Shili had been bound by the curse of 'not hurting people' and 'not killing people', and her combat effectiveness was no longer what it used to be. Her profession is a 'giant killer', and her professional abilities are not of much help in combat; while Devod is equivalent to Black Widow's Bishop, who murdered thirteen people, has mastered thirteen different toxin-based supernatural abilities.
"After fighting with Durward, she was defeated but escaped successfully. But seeing Ian being cut open to remove his liver and her daughter still sleeping upstairs, she still took the weapon and came back to kill Derward. At the same time, he also triggered his own curse, lost his power, and finally died of poisoning.
"In the end, their family was pushed into a gear machine for grinding mushrooms. The extremely strong resentment and curse turned into reality, and an endless stream of blood poured out from the machine like an endless river. , involving the thugs and onlookers who were waiting for the 'antidote', and were eventually swallowed up by the machine.
"The mill soaked in blood was covered with mushrooms. And half a day later... the messenger who got lost in the forest came belatedly with the message that 'Master Seti will arrive in three days.'
"But it's just so late... everything is too late."
Nefertari sighed. ~IndoMTL.com~ In her opinion, Ian's wife is naturally not a good person... but these thugs deserve their punishment.
They deserved to die.
But what makes her a little confused is that the "mastermind", "perpetrator" and "bystander" have all met the same end... Now, even completely innocent passers-by will be involved in the spider web. In the nightmare, tortured to death.
The mainstream view of nightmare science is that resentment can greatly increase the intensity of nightmares. Because nightmares are the wounds left by the dead transcendent in the world, a **** last words "let the world remember my death".
What Nefertari knows is that this nightmare is still killing innocent people to this day.
From this perspective - this hatred has been fermented to this day and has become abnormal.
The former victims are now no different from the perpetrators.
——It’s time for this [nightmare] to be ended.
