The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 117: God Becoming Ceremony

——Michelangelo is not dead at all!

Hearing the news, only Captain Karl was startled and looked over in disbelief.

Everyone else looked stunned.

"I won't ask you when you guessed it."

Ghirlandaio... or rather Michelangelo was not panicked.

He just looked at Annan with a smile on his face and said with interest: "But when did you confirm that it was mine? I think that my purpose has not been exposed so far."

——This is a good question.

Annan took a deep breath.

He glanced at Benjamin and said slowly: "The first time I doubted you was when you proposed an alliance of four.

"An alliance of four people is indeed a sure-fire way to win. It can guarantee that the winner must be in the friendly camp. But the problem is...why do you timidly want to give up the fight and just survive after one person died? Already?

"This is home for you. Just like we don't know the rooms or the roads - you not only know where to go and where, you even know which statues refer to which of us. You know this place like the back of your hand, There is no need to take an extreme defensive stance when there are only seven people left...

“If you really want to form an alliance, the smartest way is to form an alliance with each other after one person dies.

"In other words, form three teams, each with three people... But because you only have one person, no matter when a conflict breaks out, you can win with more."

Annan said calmly: "It's impossible that you didn't think of this method. Because the prophetic spell allows you to get the answer from your future self - this is what you said yourself.

"So, why don't you do this? Because you have to hide something...

"You just said that the twin towers are 'with the hall as the absolute center and extending symmetrically to both sides', and 'things on the left are also on the right'. They pay attention to symmetry.

"Just like the relationship between the eight of us."

When Annan said this, he looked at Benjamin.

Everyone else got it too.

"Captain Carl and Mr. King know each other," Maria said slowly, "and Merlin and I also know each other...and Sir Gerald and Master Benjamin also know each other."

There is only one set of exceptions.

That would be Ghirlandaio and Eugene Melvin.

Annan did not notice this at first because after Melvin died, Ghirlandaio immediately pulled Annan out of the room.

This gave Annan the illusion that perhaps "Gerald" and "Ghirlandaio" were a group.

And Benjamin went out independently, Melvin's teammate.

Why hide this?

"Because Melvin knows Michelangelo too well."

Annan replied.

He stared at Michelangelo and said slowly: "He even knew that Master Michelangelo could leave the Wizard Tower briefly, as an exception.

"And this matter was not brought up by Master Michelangelo's disciples? Even five months after he received the suicide note, he did not doubt it? And five months after sending the suicide note, Michelangelo Master Angelo would leave the tower voluntarily even though he knew he was about to die?

"If the master's original future was to die outside the tower, then why did he mention in his suicide note, 'This spell will also be effective on my murderer'? Is this deliberately misleading us?"

"And Melvin claimed, 'We may be in a nightmare.' He intended to speed up this murderous ritual... In other words, he and Master Michelangelo were together from the beginning."

Annan asserted: "And you came over immediately and pulled me away. Just to separate me from Benjamin. Others don't understand the two of us. Even if they realize the 'symmetry problem' of teaming up, You will think that you and I are teammates... After all, Benjamin and I are completely strangers to outsiders."

The key evidence that really allowed Annan to determine who Michelangelo was.

It was Benjamin who suddenly called Annan for help and allowed him to control Captain Carr's voice.

Annan finally understood.

Benjamin and Gerald...

Not enemies at all.

——Not from the beginning.

That’s why Benjamin’s expression was so strange when he heard Melvin mention the dark history of “Gerald” in the tea room. There is no trace of anger or hatred, just a wry smile as he organizes his words.

“And another piece of evidence is the ‘Giant Snake’ statue.”

Annan said, looking back at the group of statues behind him.

He whispered: "You said it yourself... 'If you want to change the predictions obtained from perception, you have to introduce a lot of variables.'

"——The human heart is a variable."

Everyone’s eyes followed him.

In the middle of all the statues, I saw a giant snake with its head raised into the sky.

"Snake means 'rebirth'."

Unexpectedly, it was Michelangelo himself who opened his mouth to explain.

He took a step forward.

The whole person came out of Ghirlandaio's body like a wave of water. The transparent, golden soul floats steadily in the air.

The original "Ghirlandaio" was instantly transformed into an exquisite statue.

Michelangelo looked back at the giant snake with a complicated expression.

It's like looking at the thing you love intently, or looking at the thing that has passed away in nostalgia.

"But I still don't quite understand." With everyone watching, Annan suddenly spoke and asked softly, "Your original plan was to kill Melvin first and then form a team of four. And caused conflicts among the remaining three people. Wait quietly for the second and third deceased to appear.

"At this time, you took action for the second time and killed the last person outside the four-person team... Because we signed a contract, there is no way we can stop each other.

"In this way, our number has been reduced to half, and the murderer is undoubtedly not dead yet - because the murderer has not appeared at all at this time.

"After that, you kill the second person and trigger the curse, eat the counter-curse and die; in this way, the murderer who killed Master Michelangelo becomes yourself. In this way, you satisfy two victories at the same time Conditions - The murderer survives until there are four people left, and the murderer is killed at the same time.

"In this way, you have completed a 'suspended death' ritual... like a giant snake shedding its skin. That's what I thought from the beginning."

Annan looked at Michelangelo and said slowly: "But I once denied this idea.

"Because if you really need a plot like 'it was me who killed me', then you can just kill two people at the beginning and end this ritual. Because you will die against the curse, and you are the one who killed the murderer. Myself..."

"——This is not possible, because this only satisfies one requirement."

Michelangelo turned around and showed a gentle smile: "Because you don't know one thing.

"The Cold Wind White Tower...are really twin towers. Everything on the left and right sides of the hall is exactly the same. Because...

"——Wizard Tower~IndoMTL.com~There are two."

If you only get one tower, you cannot be considered the master of the tower at all.

"What I pursue is not just to extend my own life."

Michelangelo sighed: "What I wish for... is to 'die once and be resurrected twice'.

"If the ritual succeeds, then I will die and be resurrected by my hands, and I will live between life and death from now on... Only in this way can I achieve the 'truth'.

"In this world, the number of fragments of truth has been fixed. Without the fragments of truth, no matter how long you live, no matter how great your talent, you can only reach the gold level at most. You can only be imprisoned by this thick fog. Among these islands, I live my life hiding in the cracks of the barrier.

"What I am pursuing is more than that. This is not a suspended animation ritual, but a ritual of becoming a **** that attempts to skip the level of 'truth'. It is me who has reached the limit of human beings, trying to get rid of the shackles of this world...

"——Yes. I want to become the new god."
