The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 125: The Curse of Salvatore

"...Hmm."

Salvatore opened his bloodshot eyes.

It's nine o'clock.

He hasn't slept enough...but he can't sleep anymore.

Black, spiderweb-like traces of fragmentation had crawled out of the bronze necklace on his collar, silently covering his collarbone and throat.

After Salvatore woke up, they began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually retreating into the necklace.

"...almost enough."

Salvatore muttered: "I have to find someone to knock me out... my body can't stand it anymore."

Only if he suddenly faints will the curse be unresponsive.

When he was in the Black Tower of the Zeland, Salvatore would usually find a soul-stealing wizard to steal his mind and control himself to sleep when he was too tired.

Because it wasn't "Salvatore" who was sleeping.

This way the curse will be avoided.

Similar to all extraordinary beings.

The power Salvatore gained from the curse is also related to the content of his curse——

"Can't stand it anymore? I smell the purified nightmare, Thrall."

A low voice with a crazy echo sounded in his heart: "Don Juan is really amazing, much better than a loser like you."

"...what?"

Salvatore was a little surprised: "Did he enter a nightmare?"

He was not surprised by the voice that was always beating him up.

Many people think that Salvatore's curse can do things in dreams - such as learning in dreams, or reciting something. That's why his strength has grown so rapidly, and that's why he seems to be able to remember everything...

But as long as Salvatore knew, they all guessed wrong.

Few people know what Salvatore’s true curse is...

Salvatore's curse is called "Sleepless Reflection".

It has exactly the same memory as Salvatore, but its personality is completely opposite to Salvatore; in most talents, it is far better than Salvatore - because he is Salvatore's reflection.

The worse Salvatore is at, the better Reflection is at it.

It also means that Salvatore can think twice at the same time.

Yes, the secret to how quickly he mastered a new skill was that he started learning it at the same time as his own shadow.

Normally, Salvatore is slower than his own shadow.

So only Salvatore himself knows...he is not a genius. On the contrary, he is a rare idiot.

Otherwise, why is my reflection stronger than myself in every aspect?

But he was also grateful for his reflection.

It is under the constant ridicule of the reflection that Salvatore's mentality and emotions can be so stable;

It is precisely because of the reference of the reflection that he can know what he needs to do and what kind of person he should be...

"You should ask for some favors from Don Juan, Sal. You can get them."

The shadow whispered in his heart: "He owes you too much."

"Okay, then I understand."

Salvatore nodded in understanding, covered his head and decided to take the completely opposite action to Shadow's suggestion as usual: "In other words... I should go and greet Don Juan."

"Heh... go ahead, waste."

Shadow had no objection to his opinion.

He just whispered mockingly: "You almost couldn't wake up today.

"——You will fall asleep sooner or later, you can't hold it anymore."

Shadow's voice was like a hungry wolf, hoarse and heavily echoed: "Then give your body to me."

"You are wrong, I will not..."

Salvatore covered his eyes with his hands, his eyes closed and expressionless.

Even in the Black Tower of the Zeland, only his mentor Benjamin knew Salvatore's true curse. This is why Salvatore speculated that Benjamin did not die.

Because his spell was not out of control.

This means that I should have a secret keeper...

According to Benjamin's speculation, the correct way to use this curse is for two selves with completely different ways of thinking and areas of expertise to exchange at any time, study and work at the same time, and alternately rest.

But the problem is... Benjamin told Salvatore that because Salvatore himself has a very good character, his "shadow" is absolutely untrustworthy.

Therefore, Benjamin specially set up a double seal for this curse.

At six o'clock in the morning, Mr. Yao sprinkled the world with purifying light as the anchor point, and spread out to both sides for three hours. In this case, the starting position is three o'clock and the ending position is nine o'clock, which is three times three.

——The number "three" is magical in this world.

As the **** of veto and darkness, Lady Silence is the patron saint of the third month, so any ritual involving sealing must have the number "three" in it. Many wizards believe that in a ritual of the same specifications, the more numbers associated with "three", the more power can be borrowed and the better the effect of the ritual will be.

In other words, Salvatore is not limited to sleeping between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m.

But only during this period of time, he will not be deprived of control of his body when he sleeps...

Under other circumstances, as long as he takes the initiative to sleep, the shadow will crawl out of the necklace and gradually spread. When the black mark spreads to his forehead, it means that another Salvatore has emerged.

If you want him to go back - you have to let him sleep again.

"Don Juan is coming, Sal."

At this moment, Shadow suddenly reminded: "There is a very scary person following him... I can't smell him."

"...a terrible person?"

Salvatore was a little confused and opened his eyes slightly.

Is it for myself...or for the shadow?

"Senior, did you sleep well?"

Annan knocked on the door gently and asked in a low voice: "Are you awake?"

"Come in, Don Juan."

Salvatore's gentle voice sounded: "I have been awake for a while."

Annan walked into the door with a smile, followed by Bishop Daryl.

Seeing Bishop Daryl, Salvatore was obviously startled.

"This...Mr. Bishop?"

"Yes, Bishop Daryl," Annan replied seriously, "With his assistance and guidance, I have almost purified Gerald's nightmare."

Bishop Daryl just nodded with a smile.

On that chubby face was a kind smile without any intention.

"May you also be loved by Yin Jue today, the respected son of the Black Tower...and our respected lord."

Bishop Daryl said, saluting Salvatore and Annan respectively. His fat body made his movements look a little funny.

When he just drawled, Salvatore clearly felt his heart tremble.

"Ask him if he can see me?"

Shadow's low and hoarse voice sounded excitedly in Salvatore's heart.

But Salvatore chose to remain silent based on the attitude that doing more is worse than doing less.

"Looks like you guys have something to talk about."

Bishop Daryl said with a smile: "Then I, an old man, won't bother you.

"Lord, I will take the Viscount's body to the police station and wait for you. Just come to me after you have taken care of everything."

"Excuse me, Lord Bishop."

Annan nodded seriously and made a cool and crisp voice.

Soon~IndoMTL.com~ Daryl closed the door and left.

"Gee, what a cute child."

Shadow chuckled in Salvatore's heart: "It's just that you are too scheming... If you are too scheming, you will not grow taller.

"He's acting, Sal. How about you ask him, who are you? I guarantee you can fake his identity."

——Speak slowly, even if I believe your nonsense, I will lose.

As always, Salvatore ignored all of Reflection's conventional advice.

From this perspective, he is also very grateful to his shadow.

It is undoubtedly a mirror of oneself...it can be used to warn oneself at any time, to remind oneself not to forget to be grateful, to remind oneself to maintain moral standards at all times, and to remind oneself not to doubt others easily.

This stubbornness that is never willing to change oneself is also the opposite of reflection - a characteristic unique to Salvatore himself.
