The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 101: Bone sprouts

The wandering child was stunned for a moment.

Looking at those empty eyes, an indescribable, cold feeling of fear overwhelmed him.

He suddenly felt that his back seemed to be itchy.

It's like a wound healing.

It's like the bones have sprouted and are growing slowly.

"Ai Lei" touched it gently. I could vaguely feel that my originally smooth back was beginning to have some bulges. His spine seemed to be squirming, becoming... sharper, and even a little bit painful.

He was very focused and gently stroking his spine. Some couldn't stop, and at the same time I felt that my elbows and knees were starting to feel a little itchy, as if something was about to burst out of my body——

"What's the matter, Elle?"

At this moment, Amos asked again with some doubts.

The wandering child was suddenly startled.

He suddenly returned to reality.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that Amos's expression was as normal.

His face did not turn into a skeleton, it was no different from before... There were no white bone spurs sticking out of the skin on the back of his neck. The skin was smooth and there were no wounds or damage.

As if everything was just an illusion.

"...No, it's okay."

Ailei responded softly and continued to change clothes.

Put on those three terrifyingly heavy plush dresses.

Amos felt that her gaze was a little strange, but he did not pursue it further. He just scratched his face again and turned away.

...but that's definitely not an illusion.

The wandering child is convinced.

Not only because he was itching deep inside his body.

And the large barrage that suddenly flashed in front of him confirmed this immediately:

"——Oh my God, I'm so scared!"

"——The ghost father is convinced (referring to the supernatural level"

"——Damn it, this big brother scared me when he turned around..."

"——Be content, at least your face is clean and free of maggots."

... Just by looking at this chaotic barrage, he was convinced that the horrific scene just now was definitely not his imagination.

So what exactly is going on?

The wandering child subconsciously opened the properties panel.

Then he was stunned for a moment.

[Health: 95%]

[Erosion degree: 5%]

…wait, 5%?

Wasn’t it just 2% just now?

Obviously, the erosion rate will increase by 2% only once you die... but the erosion rate just increased by 3%?

The barrage also saw this line of numbers:

"——Is this a sanity?"

"——No, it should be said that it has spiritual vision."

"——This seems to be a more serious punishment than dying once!"

"——Wait, the erosion will not continue to increase, right? Is this just a preparation ceremony?"

...So it turns out that in nightmares, can it be possible to directly increase erosion?

Annan also frowned slightly.

He first checked himself and confirmed that the erosion level had not increased when he saw this scene through the live broadcast, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that Mr. Bones? Or what?"

He murmured quietly.

But it doesn’t look like it.

According to what he learned in the book, the human body of Mr. Skeleton is a giant skeleton two and a half meters tall:

"He should be wearing a ducal blue and white plush robe - said to be unicorn hair, and on his head is a sacred white copper crown, and on his face is a golden mask like a human face. On the face, there are heavy steel boots on the feet, dragon leather gloves on the hands, and the whole body should be covered by clothing. Even the back of the neck will be blocked by the stand collar of the robe.

"The main way to identify the Bone Master is his height, and secondly his dress - there are only bones under his clothes, so he will inevitably look extremely thin. The Bone Master is the **** of ancient giants, and the height of modern giants is generally around four Between three and five meters, only ancient giants would have short bodies of less than three meters but more than two meters.

"Remember, when looking directly at Duke Skeleton, do not use any ability that can see through or detect the essence. The Duke's clothing he wears is a kind of protection for others - if there is no protection, If you see any bone of Skeleton King, it will be continuously eroded by the curse. At the same time, 'ossification' will also occur, and the bones in the whole body will become active, refusing the control of the owner's will, and actively devouring all the crazy things around him, including flesh and blood tissue. Growth..."

——The ossification phenomenon recorded in the book is somewhat similar to the situation of the wandering child just now. The increase in erosion coincides nicely with this.

Annan clearly remembers that at the moment when the illusion appeared, the bones in "Ai Lei's" neck did begin to become somewhat sharp and protruding...

But that’s not quite right either.

If it is really Mr. Bones, then there is no way "Ai Lei" is still alive.

Now it seems that the difficult nightmare may be more than just a death threat. Even if you are in a dream, if you see something that you shouldn't see, the erosion level will still increase.

In this case, he probably understood...why some people would go crazy after entering the nightmare one night, even though the erosion level would only increase slightly after the death of the nightmare.

This should indeed be a silver-level nightmare...

Annan was a little strange at first, because this nightmare was so simple.

Although it is only a level in the "Gallery", it is the lowest difficulty level of Silver level. But looking at it now, as long as the portrait is not completed at the beginning... the difficulty will immediately rise to the silver level.

So, what is the mechanism that triggers this?

Is it a painting? basement? ceremony? Or is it Amos’s mood?

"Everything is ready, Ai Lei."

Finally, Amos breathed a sigh of relief.

Ailei on the side has already changed her clothes.

She was wearing a three-layer cashmere dress, and now she looked as bloated as a rice dumpling. Let alone fighting, it was difficult to just move... I felt so stuffed that I couldn't even breathe.

But the wandering child felt much more relieved.

Looking at this posture, at least I don’t need to be injected...

It’s all good, it’s all good.

Amos came close to Elle and comforted her in a low voice:

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt. It's just a simple ritual... Fortunately, it's June now, so it won't be too troublesome."

"...Yes, father."

Elei paused and said softly.

Seeing that there was no fear on her face, and even some curiosity, Amos smiled with satisfaction.

Under Ailei's gaze, he respectfully lit three thick candles and placed them at one o'clock, two o'clock and four o'clock on the bone bed.

Then he motioned for Ai Lei to climb onto the bed from the three o'clock direction.

He then took out a protractor ~IndoMTL.com~ and three black ram's horns, three black billy goat horns, and three pairs of ox horns. They were placed on both sides of the three candles, forming three inward 120-degree angles, covering "Ailei"'s body at the same time.

At the moment when the three angles were formed, the candle suddenly shook at the same time.

The warm orange glow suddenly turned into ice blue.

The wandering child suddenly felt a strange coldness descending on him.

It was as if his whole body was immersed in ice water. His body could no longer feel the slightest temperature, but he did not feel uncomfortable and trembled because of it.

But I felt very quiet, very peaceful... I didn't want to move at all, and then I slowly closed my eyes.

At the last moment, he tried to open his eyes.

But he saw the flesh on Amos' face falling off piece by piece... His body began to decay, but the bones remained forever.

He vaguely heard Amos reciting something in a low voice, but his consciousness was very dim. His body seemed to be suppressed by something, and his limbs could not move.

After that, the wandering child completely lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found that he was still lying on the bone bed. And those three candles have been completely burned out.

Not only that, Ailei's weak body suddenly became strong and powerful.

Even more powerful than his body outside the copy.

As if you can jump to the ceiling with just one jump——

Only one thing.

There is only one difference.

He felt...some discomfort in his left eye.

He subconsciously reached out to touch it.

But I only touched something cold and without any warmth... as if it had been dead for a long time——

——The eye sockets of the corpse.
