The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 243: Ashes within ashes, shadows within shadows
"Let me go to my grave in peace - all you have to do is pray."
Annan read softly: "Unfortunate people will sacrifice themselves in the furnace of misfortune. My hands will be burned and become strong; my feet will be burned and become strong. My pupils will be strong. It was burned like glass, so I could gaze at the sky wheel..."
At this point, Annan was suddenly startled.
He immediately asked Nefertari: "What are the [furnaces] in the Gray Tower?!"
When Nefertari heard this, he also paused slightly.
Then she immediately figured everything out.
She said hurriedly: "It's just below this floor! There is only one [furnace] in the Gray Tower... We didn't know what it was used for before. Generally speaking, it is used by professors to burn some documents and Books, we call them crematoria...because there are always people who go in and never come out..."
The crematorium - this can indeed be understood as a "grave" or a "furnace of misfortune"!
He is planning to burn himself so that he can see the crane...
"Four Dark Carvings!"
Annan shouted loudly.
Si An Ke also realized what Annan wanted to do as soon as he received the instruction.
"I understand!"
He said, reaching out and pressing the floor of the gray tower.
Azure blue lines like circuit boards were seen protruding from his palms and spreading towards the surrounding floor... After covering about two-thirds of the room, they suddenly all turned red.
"Be careful!"
Si An reminded you: "If you can fly, fly first, don't fall! Then three, two, one -"
As his voice fell.
The floor beneath them exploded!
With Si Anqi's increasingly proficient blasting technology, the gap created by the blast was very smooth and a perfect circle. Moreover, there were no flying stones flying upwards, and the entire floor exploded downwards perfectly and evenly distributed throughout the space.
The two girls, who were not yet proficient in flying but had learned how to teleport, were also hugged by Neusel and Longjing Cha beside them. They were hanging in the air to see what was going on below.
As a result, the gravel that spattered downwards when the floor exploded did not fall to the ground.
I saw them all hanging in the air, as if the pause button had been pressed the moment they fell. It's like a falling person being frozen by the camera just before landing.
Looking closely, they are actually blocked by a translucent gray barrier.
Then they melt away on their own—like snow melting in the sun. It’s just that the melting process has been accelerated more than ten times...
When they saw the appearance of the man downstairs clearly, everyone except Annan showed expressions of surprise and astonishment.
"——How could it be?!"
Ah Dian suddenly exclaimed.
The dust dispersed... revealing long gray messy hair and a violet toga. Gray cloth shoes, dark gray shawl...and the gray pupils that looked up, like a pool of stagnant water.
The man standing downstairs was exactly the same as Professor Gray who died in front of them not long ago!
It is completely "exactly the same", just like a resurrected player...
But he clearly should have died——
The one who is still alive now should be just another person whose name and body were stolen by Professor Gray!
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Professor Gray looked up with a smile, not feeling nervous at all: "'Why are you still alive'... I think this is what you are curious about now."
"I thought it was Neusser's body that you were attracted to."
Annan responded generally while looking around.
The surrounding layout gave Annan an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Soon, Annan remembered... what the "decoration style" here was.
Although not in the same place.
But the surrounding ritual venue is clearly the same as the place where Husky finally escaped from the dream in the dream and used Justus' body to kill Trissino in the previous "Gemini" nightmare!
It was a boiler that looked like a human face with very high cheekbones.
There is a bed with a slight **** right in front of the boiler. The section close to the boiler is relatively low, while the other side away from the boiler is raised. The angle is greater than 30 degrees. It looks like It's the tongue that sticks out.
When these two objects are combined, their shape is reminiscent of the Pot of Greed - the pink one.
Annan also knows why some students think this is a crematorium.
This shape looks like one part is lifted up, and then the body on the bed is slid directly into the boiler.
"You guessed it right."
To Annan's surprise, Professor Gray took back the barrier, released Annan and the others, and replied calmly: "At first, I really wanted to be Neusser. His talent It really amazed me... I didn't expect that I missed such a genius.
"I don't know what you did. I had already entered his body, but you suddenly killed him once - I was already desperate.
"I thought you saw through my existence right away, so you attacked me so ruthlessly that you wanted to completely kill me. Unexpectedly, he actually came back to life, but I was ejected."
"But you are not dead."
"Of course I won't die."
Hearing what Annan said, Professor Gray even laughed out loud: "How could I die, Your Majesty?
"All gods are immortals, and Fufu is the **** of immortals. But there is eternal life beyond eternal life in this world...that is me."
He said warmly: "Rather, what does [gray] remind you of?"
"Impure black is also impure white; it is dim light and bright darkness."
Annan replied calmly.
Professor Gray nodded: "Yes. But you overlooked one point - that is the **** of memory and despair... [Gray Craftsman].
"This name refers to the 'Creator of Ashes'."
Professor Gray said gently: "And I am the Gray created by Him. From the beginning, I am just a memory. I live in the past, so you can't kill me - kill me again Many times, I have been able to rise from the 'ashes'."
"...You were never a believer in tragedians from the very beginning?"
"No, I am. Just like you are all the creations of the Cupbearer and Yaweng, but don't you also have your own beliefs?"
Professor Gray said calmly: "I am the 'Grey' who has been given a personality. I named myself Professor Gray not just to borrow it from Professor Chiron in the name of 'Impure White'" Power——especially because my real last name is really [Gray].
"I can transcend the past and the future at will, because I am just a shadow of nothingness. Even the worm cannot completely control me, because what it is infiltrated is just another shadow of me - it is just a shadow of a shadow."
"If you are just an afterimage, a memory...then why do you have the desire to be promoted to gold?"
Annan asked. ~IndoMTL.com~ Professor Gray was silent for a while, but still answered the question.
“Because of hate.
"Only hatred... can give people the most lasting strength. Pure love will be hit by reality; past feelings will gradually be worn away by time; but hatred from the heart - hatred of the past, hatred of fate Hatred. The so-called refusal to admit defeat and refusal to accept fate is, in the final analysis, just hatred."
Professor Gray declared:
“——I am the one who hated being abandoned by the graysmith in the past, so I can obtain this eternal life that transcends eternal life.
"I will never die. Because only hatred will never end."
Updated!
It’s hot to be back!
