The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 85: Prison of the Hunter

[Kill bronze-level enemies in battle and gain 650 public experience points]

"I still feel that the experience given is a bit lacking..."

Annan sighed and put the boning knife, which was still dripping with blood, back into the satchel without wiping it.

Let’s feel sorry for Brother Hammer.

I hope it won’t think that the blood of the kitchen knife is half of the sacrifice...

Otherwise, it might wait for more than half a week with its head raised and its mouth open, without being able to eat any bones.

Only the devil knows whose blood it belongs to and whose bones should be used to match it.

It’s just that after Justin died, Annan really didn’t want to absorb the several curses he left behind.

Because their costs are too heavy for Annan:

"Overload hunger (perpetual type): No matter how much food is stored in the belly, as long as it is injured once, it will inevitably fall into a state of extreme hunger one hour later."

"Loss of pain sensation (permanent type): Pain sensation is reduced by 95%."

"Escape (taboo type): Do not lose consciousness while being restrained."

"Death is a dream (taboo type): You cannot dream after being seriously injured."

Except for the "loss of pain" which didn't seem to be a serious punishment, Annan didn't want to accept the other curses.

The "break out" spell seems very harsh, but it is entirely possible that it will be triggered unconsciously; and "death is a dream" is obviously suitable for extraordinary people who have the ability to heal themselves or control dreams. By.

The cost of "overloaded hunger" is indeed not serious for Annan today. But curses can be brought into nightmares.

Its side effects in the nightmare copy immediately became very serious——

Translated, its price actually means "resupply must be carried out after one hour of fighting." However, the environment in the nightmare copy is quite special, and it is entirely possible that supplies cannot be provided after being injured...

Compared with this price, the positive bonus effect it brings to Annan can only be regarded as the icing on the cake.

"...Then, it's you."

Annan made up his mind.

He took off the slender lady's ring from Justin's hand, and took off his own bronze bracelet.

Annan followed Salvatore's example, placing his left hand on his bronze bracelet, his right hand on the ring, and whispered:

"I place a curse here.

"I will inherit the oath you made and bear the curse you carried..."

At this moment, Annan's eyes fell into a trance.

He suddenly felt that his field of vision had been raised a lot, as if he was contained in another body... It was like watching a CG scene, unable to move.

Annan lowered his head slightly and noticed that this seemed to be the body of an adult woman.

Her left arm seemed to be broken, but Annan felt no pain at all. She was gasping for breath and slowly retreated backwards.

And what was slowly approaching her was Justin, who had just been killed by Annan.

He moved his wrist, an ambiguous smile appeared on his face, and his right hand gradually clenched into a fist.

"It won't hurt, Mrs. Nettie. I think it will be very comfortable."

Justin chuckled, his face about ten years younger than now full of cruelty: "And, if I'm not wrong...you can't feel the pain, right?"

Then he suddenly took a step forward and punched "Annan" on the chin.

Annan only felt a numb feeling coming from his chin, and then felt a darkness in front of his eyes. His whole body fell softly and lost consciousness——

But before she lost consciousness, the thumb of her right hand suddenly exerted force and broke her right index finger.

Then, extremely blazing, destructive heat rose from her right arm, completely covering the surrounding area——

Then the screen went dark.

...This should be the memory of the witch named "Nettie" when she died.

Annan made an inference.

The next moment, Annan's eyes once again turned into flowers.

His perspective rose and became a bird's eye view similar to that of God.

I saw a female wizard, about twenty-five or six years old, with curly brown hair, standing alone in the wilderness.

Her hair was **** and placed on her chest from the left side, and her expression was a little nervous.

In front of her was an altar. There were three stands on the altar, and three boxes were placed on each of them. Annan's perspective is above the altar.

I saw that she was touching one of the boxes... On that box, there was an image of a woman with a peaceful face painted on it.

The next moment, she seemed to realize something.

She whispered:

"From now on, I will bear [loss of pain]."

Annan also followed her and chanted simultaneously.

The next moment, the picture in front of him suddenly broke.

He came to his senses just in time to see the ring in his hand crack. A red light rose up, circled in the air for a few times, and then flew out in the southwest direction.

Vaguely, Annan heard a grateful voice:

"Thank you, thank you..."

After hearing that voice, Annan was suddenly stunned.

...What is this?

Soul?

Seeing this scene, Annan suddenly recalled——

It was indeed after Salvatore had absorbed the curse and transformed the remaining curse into a nightmare that Gerald's body began to change.

Then, what will happen to the corpse that has been deprived of its load...?

No, does it mean that those extraordinary beings killed by hunters will never rest in peace? They don't actually die... but are imprisoned in the ring, using their souls as "fingerprints" to use the curse on the hunter's behalf?

Anan suddenly had this idea in his mind. ~IndoMTL.com~ And the belated system prompts gradually flashed before his eyes.

But it wasn’t him who got the hint of the new curse:

It was a line of blood-red, somewhat sloppy characters:

[Curse has been severed - Prisoner of the Hunter]

The next moment, the remaining two rings also exploded.

But perhaps because the curse has not been sucked out, what comes out of the ring is not red light, but black smoke similar to Gerald's.

They also circled around the room and then left.

Strange auditory hallucinations also sounded in Annan's ears... But they did not thank Annan, but seemed to have some kind of obsession:

"I'm going to kill him, Justin...I'm going to kill him..."

"Mr. Notedam, I'm sorry..."

Then, Annan got the reminder of the new curse:

[Curse: Loss of Pain Sense (Permanent Type): Pain Sense is reduced by 95%. 】

Very simple and clean, with only one line of introduction.

The price and function are completely combined, but for Annan, this price is almost non-existent.

Ordinary human beings need pain as a warning and reminder, just like they will feel pain when they are close to a fire, or they will feel pain when they are cut by a knife. This is to remind the owner to "stay away from danger."

But Annan is different.

He himself has lost his negative emotions, but he can still live, fight, and study normally because of his "common sense."

He is more like a machine driven by common sense and experience.

Be alert without pain - Annan believes that his understanding and judgment of human beings are sharper and better than that.

And of course he himself can be considered a human being.
