The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 271: Worm

"Player Super Justice ()"

——He finally failed to push open the study door.

Because at the moment Viscount Dolgoruki said these words.

In the shadow cast in front of the study, he suddenly stretched out a ferocious, anti-joint ferocious arm made of pure shadow.

It seemed to be slow but actually very fast. It quickly reached out from the ground and grabbed the Viscount's face - this magic hand pushed the Viscount backwards suddenly, pushed him away from Annan, and also beat him hard. It hit the wall on the other side of the corridor!

Coincidentally, the other side is a stone wall made of cobblestones. The Viscount was hit in the back by a smooth stone and almost lost his breath. His body twitched subconsciously as he was pressed against the wall by the shadow hand behind his joints.

"...You'd better make it clear first, Your Excellency Viscount."

As if just waking up from sleep, a very light and low whisper sounded from behind Annan.

I saw that Zolgen had completely opened his eyes.

The silver-gray pupils were extremely cold, burning with a blue halo, and seemed to be exuding cold air. The entire corridor was covered with faint traces of frost, and the area close to the ground was as cold as an ice cellar.

"Hehehehehahahaha..."

The Viscount, who had a scar on his face, couldn't help but laugh.

It was a hearty laugh, as if he had finally let go of something.

But he couldn't laugh for long.

"——Hmm."

He was slowly lifted off the wall by the anti-joint shadow hands and held in the air.

Then he used another force and slapped Viscount Dolgoruki against the wall again.

Zolgen used a little more force this time, so much so that the Viscount couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

A mouthful of dark red, sticky and dirty blood.

That is the blood that only the dead have.

Zolgen's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Zoya.

"Look at his neck, wrists and ankles."

Zhuo Ya thought for a moment and immediately responded: "There is also the skin on the heart."

Soon, a reverse-jointed shadow hand stretched out from each person's shadow - they swarmed up and completely tore the Viscount's clothes to pieces while he was still laughing maniacally.

As expected, they found an intermittent thin black line at the Viscount's throat, which was only about six or seven centimeters and was usually covered by his chin. It's like when two pieces of cloth are sewn together using relatively rough means, there are stitching marks like ellipses.

On his left chest, the same intermittent thin line was found... It was a black ring the size of an egg tart.

After seeing these traces, Zolgen immediately broke the Viscount's throat without saying a word.

"...These are the marks of being bitten by [worms]."

Zoya explained in a low voice: "He is dead."

"What is a worm...?"

Annan frowned and asked in a low voice.

He was still thinking about the "gateway between worms and cicadas"... "Cicada" refers to the way of sublimation, so what is "worm"?

But now he knows that [Worm] is a "changing beast". In this way, the "gateway of worms and cicadas" means the gate ahead of the "way of promotion and change".

Annan was suddenly a little surprised - even he didn't understand the knowledge about "worms", but it was mastered by the Hand of Winter and these northern nobles who were not even extraordinary people or ritual masters. Judging from Zolgen's reaction, I'm afraid this isn't some kind of secret...

"This is what Lord Ivan should have told you, but he turned into a dragon too early and too fast."

After Zoya confirmed that Viscount Dolgoruki had died again, she quickly explained: "This is the Worm Cult. We have already wiped it out once, but we didn't expect it to grow again... This is true. Like a worm."

She whispered to Zolgen: "Do you still remember the layout of the city? I'm afraid there are many more in this city..."

Annan asked doubtfully: "Worm Cult?"

"There is no official scientific name, and it is not a sect. It is just the name they call them in winter... They call their behavior [following snakes that are not snakes]."

Zoya roughly summed it up: "This is a group of fanatical elf lovers.

“They believe that the elves who can naturally become Silver Transcendents when they reach adulthood and cannot fall because they skipped the bronze stage are a higher race than the Aryans.

"And they believe that the appearance of the fallen is because other races are not as noble as the blood of elves - they believe that other races are 'evil eggs', and the reason why sin is born and breeds sin is because they are not elves. As long as all If all people become elves, there will be no more corrupted people and demons being born.

“This group of people search for and excavate elven ruins around the world, purchase a large number of antiques from the elven era, and imitate the elves’ lifestyle. The ultimate goal is to find a way to transform themselves into elves... and the fanatics among them are even more Pursuing a method to transform everyone into elves."

As Annan listened, his expression gradually became a little weird.

Why does it sound a bit harmonious, but I can’t tell where it is...

"...According to my memory," Annan replied thoughtfully, "the elves seem to have migrated from the east, right?

"I remember there were degenerates there."

"They don't care about this. I actually think that it is because the elves are extinct that they can pursue the blood of elves so enthusiastically."

Zhuo Ya shrugged: "Their philosophy is that this world is so sinful and everything is because of 'racial incompetence'. If the blood of elves, the rule of elves, and the customs of elves are restored, there will be no such thing in the world. So much ugliness and tragedy. ~IndoMTL.com~ I’m afraid not, brother.

What you are pursuing...maybe not the blood of elves, but the magic power, right?

The age of elves is prosperous, not because of their noble blood, but because of the universal resource of curse energy, which can be used to get whatever you want...

By stimulating mantra energy, it can be used to skip the "raw materials" and "process" and directly obtain the desired product. This process is fast and clean, does not produce waste gas and waste materials, and does not require a large number of workers. It only needs designers to use it.

It's like turning on creative mode.

At that time, curse cellars were built in almost every town in the entire empire, and curse energy was continuously extracted. Most people can obtain abundant living supplies without labor, so people who sing, write poetry, exercise, and invent things appear in large numbers.

The so-called prosperous classical culture of the Elf Empire can actually be simply described as "entertainment activities created by idle people."

Under those conditions, of course there would be no disputes and no crimes. If it weren't for the fact that extracting curse energy would quickly cause environmental degradation around the world, this could even be considered an ascension mode.

But if you mess with the elven bloodline... there is really no point.

Annan couldn't help but ask: "Have they seen elves?"

"Of course not. I think if they had seen elves they wouldn't be so fanatical. They were just looking for Original Sin."

Zhuo Ya commented.

She sighed, looked at Annan who was still a little confused, and explained: "Do you know that time when Grand Duke Ivan and his younger brother were kidnapped? That was what the Worm Cult did.

"They demanded the release of a political prisoner - this political prisoner was the top leader of the Worm Cult."
