The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 230: Nightmare: Reflection
After sending the Bone Man away, Annan leaned on the pillow and looked back at the moon outside the window, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Although Lord Skeleton did not refuse his call and did answer his questions...but the "secrets" he mentioned very cleverly avoided those key questions - especially those that might touch the to His own part.
For example, what kind of organization is the Alliance of the Dead? How did he and the Pale Princess know each other? What do they plan to do? Why are they now separated...
For these issues that may touch the Bone Master himself, including the pre-questions that may lead to these issues, he just plays dumb and doesn't mention a word.
But when He told the information about the Pale Princess and the Half-Dead Daughter, he was very detailed - especially about "how to identify the Half-Dead Daughter", "Pale Princess's personal habits and preferences" and other information. It was as if he was deliberately trying to distance himself from the Undead Alliance and draw Annan's attention to the Pale Princess.
"That's all..."
Annan shook his head slightly and ignored this matter for now.
This kind of scorn is so scornful that he is somewhat used to it.
If he directly involves himself this time, Annan will doubt whether he wants to do something.
But Mr. Bones also revealed some secrets about the Pale Princess to Annan...
The heads held in the arms of the pale princess were not her former lovers, but her followers.
Yes, although the priests of the Pale Princess are all half-dead daughters, her followers have no such restrictions.
After all, He has extraordinary beauty and extremely beautiful singing voice. Many believers are obsessed with following Him, regardless of men or women...
What she is looking for is truly "an interesting soul." It has nothing to do with net worth, appearance, age, gender... or even race.
The highest ritual that followers of the Pale Princess can perform is to sacrifice their heads to her. If the Pale Princess thinks this is a person with interesting enough thoughts, she will accept it and keep the person's head with her, whispering to him or her soul day and night, singing to her lover, and kissing her lover.
——Until she meets another more interesting soul, or becomes tired of this person's soul.
But she will not abandon these souls, but will draw them out and take them with her.
Over time, a phenomenon called the "Pale Tide" will occur wherever the Pale Princess walks. That is, at night, accompanied by strange singing, a piece of white smoke will suddenly roll up from the sky, slowly passing through the air like a strong wind.
There are some folk legends... If you are unfortunate enough to see the Pale Tide, you will become seriously ill afterwards.
The Skeleton King’s statement confirms this legend.
As long as you are exposed to the light of those ghosts, your life force will be slowly sucked away. For ordinary people, the life force that is suddenly extracted is enough to make people sick, but because they will hide immediately when they see the pale tide, nothing will happen; but for extraordinary people, this little life force will not Bringing too much loss to them...may even result in some erosion points being extracted.
Those extraordinary beings who are on the verge of madness will even take the initiative to look for traces of the Pale Princess and follow the trend.
And if you indulge in the pleasure of your soul being gradually purified, you may lose strength and fall on the road... and eventually turn into corpses lying under the pale tide, adding to the continuation of this legend. A fire.
Beyond that.
Annan also received another very important piece of information——
The Pale Princess has another alias.
——The Throat of Death.
The singer who brings death.
Yes.
The "influence of the Throat of Death" on Annan comes from the Pale Princess.
"...that's okay too."
It’s not a question in vain, at least I got some bone marrow out...
Annan sent Duke Skeleton away politely.
But, the pale princess...
Annan fell into deep thought.
I don’t know what kind of nightmare he will enter.
"...Forget it, go to sleep."
Annan finally closed his eyes and fell backwards.
As he fell asleep quickly, Annan felt that his body seemed to become a little light.
He seemed to be floating in the clouds, and there was a faint and strange singing voice in his ears. But listening to the singing, Annan felt that his limbs were getting colder and colder...
It's like being immersed in ice water, feeling cold and clear, but you still can't wake up completely.
When he was entangled in this nightmare, sleeping and waking up, Annan's consciousness suddenly woke up and saw a few lines of prompts appearing in front of his eyes:
["Primary Effect: Remains of the Death Throat" has reverberated]
【Entering the dream world】
【Dream Key not detected】
[Searching for nightmares, the keyword is "dead"...]
【Nightmare found】
【Falling into a nightmare, the copy is being generated...】
[The difficulty of the copy is Hard]
[The total erosion rate of the team is 2%, the difficulty of the copy increases by 2%, and the probability of nightmare distortion increases by 2%]
[Warning: Relevant elements detected, nightmare has been distorted——]
[There is no save point in this copy. Each death will increase the erosion rate by 12%. You will be forced to exit the copy after one death]
[This copy provides introduction to the plot and has decryption rewards]
[Reward for clearing the dungeon: Occupation (Wizard) increased by 3 levels]
[Loading completed]
When Annan woke up again, he noticed that his body was shaking.
Not out of fear... but out of wetness and cold.
Annan realized that he was huddled in a damp dungeon.
The left hand was shackled, and the other end of the chain was fixed to the wall. There were some obvious scars on the wrist of the left hand, which seemed to have just begun to become inflamed... It should have been left when he broke free of the chain not long ago.
But his right hand was intact.
In this position, the most he can do is sit or kneel down, but cannot lie down at all... I am afraid that he will not be able to fall asleep because of this.
Annan also didn't know how long it had been since this body had slept normally. He could only feel a strong sense of exhaustion.
Oddly enough, there were no signs of torture on his body.
Even the health level is as high as 94%.
This means that he basically has no wounds... He even eats and drinks well and has never been hungry.
"...Huh?"
When Annan checked the injury, he noticed that it should be a female body.
Judging from the skin, knuckles and palms, she is no more than thirty years old at most, and should be still very young. Moreover, there are no calluses on her palms and the skin on the back of her right hand is smooth, so she is not a peasant woman.
Annan lowered his head and tried hard to check his clothes with his right hand in the extremely dim light.
Somewhat surprisingly, her clothes were quite neat and not messy at all. It doesn't look like a prisoner's uniform...but the fabric is not the high-end fabric that nobles would use.
In a clerical job or in the entertainment industry? Or simply don’t have a job yet?
The person who held her here and prevented her from sleeping peacefully did not torture her. What is that person's purpose...?
At this moment, Annan felt a familiar slight dizziness, and new words appeared in front of his eyes:
[Evelyn Miller was originally supposed to be a born dancer. She was born with a soft and strong body, extraordinary beauty, and a soul that is extremely sensitive to art and music. She should be the one loved by Yaweng. 】
[But when she was fourteen years old, she almost lost everything because of an unfortunate accident. Her path ended completely. 】
[From then on, she never danced in front of anyone. 】
[Until one day, she accidentally saw the dance of the "Moon Dancer"... The soul-grabbing dance was unforgettable for her. 】
[She tried to talk to him, but suddenly lost consciousness the moment she spoke]
[When she woke up, she found herself in a damp and cold dungeon]
[She realized ~IndoMTL.com~ that she might have been kidnapped]
After these traces faded, new words appeared in front of Annan's eyes again:
[Main Mission: Going Home]
Immediately, a large number of small words quickly appeared below this line of words:
【Keep your body intact】
【Don't talk to anyone】
【Back to reality】
