The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 412: Werewolf Bella
…Talk to myself?
Annan pursed his lips.
Don't tell me...he is really interested.
Whether "Annan" is himself in the previous week's project - this is easy to confirm as long as he can have a face-to-face private conversation.
After all, there are some things that only "Annan" knows in this era.
For example, the content of his past life, such as things on earth...
If you can gain the trust of yourself in this era, you might be able to get some important information from him.
But not until then.
We still need to solve the previous tasks first...
...join the Hand of Winter?
Annan came back to his senses and stared at the old man with a stern face warily.
Is he from the Hand of Winter?
It's a bit like it.
People in the Hand of Winter have no emotions at all.
Da. clatter. clatter.
The crisp sound of the cane hitting the ground has a strange rhythm, which makes Annan
"No need to worry, puppy. I am not your enemy."
The old man stopped five meters away, lowered his head and made a calm, emotionless voice to Annan who was crouching on the ground, "You want power, right.
"Do you want to become...an extraordinary person?"
"...Yes."
Annan let out an almost whimpering whisper and couldn't help but avoid the old man's gaze and lowered his head.
——When "she" raised her head again, she had already adjusted her emotions and assumed herself as Bella.
The dark golden wolf eyes were full of hesitation, vigilance and hope.
This is in line with her current personality.
Now Annan plays "Bella". A werewolf girl who longs for power after being bullied.
She traveled to Frostwhisper in search of change, but encountered obstacles everywhere. His wallet was stolen and he was penniless, so he had to steal food to survive. But because she was carrying food, she was targeted by other beggars. Although she relied on the werewolf's innate and outstanding strength to seize a piece of land, she could barely sleep with newspapers and rags, but it was definitely not enough. Comfortable.
This is the possibility that Annan analyzed from the clues in his body.
Her clothes were shabby, but the main tears were obviously torn during the struggle; her earliest wounds were almost healed, and some of the other wounds were only made about a day ago, so she should have been injured in the near future. Had two fights. She wasn't very hungry, she must have eaten at least last night... plus she was covered in rags when she woke up, so she must have won the battle.
Infer from this point.
It should be because she is particularly good at fighting and is alone... Taking into account her IQ, and maybe her stupid experience of asking how to become a transcendent, she was targeted by the Hand of Winter. .
The reason why he was not found at the very beginning is probably because the eighteenth generation of Bella's ancestors were investigated in the past few days.
No one will contact her until she is sure she can be absorbed.
At this time, Annan must not eagerly agree immediately.
That will only make people doubt their own motives.
With Bella's character, she should now...
"But...who are you?"
Annan questioned, "Hide your head and show your tail...I can't trust you!"
——When you have just been attacked or injured, it is very reasonable to show excessive vigilance and appropriate self-destruction.
The old man did not doubt Annan's actions.
His face still showed no expression, his pupils were cold and his expression was as stiff as a puppet.
"I am from the Hand of Winter."
He said calmly, raising his right hand hidden in his sleeve.
On his right thumb, there is an ice ring that exudes a cold air.
When the old man raised his hand, the air in the alley immediately became cold. Annan couldn't help but start to shiver. The gray hair on his skin grew back again, and he barely felt a little warmer.
"How can I trust you..."
Annan's voice was a little louder at first, but as he spoke, he became less and less confident, and his voice gradually became lower, still vaguely frightened.
Of course, this is also pretending.
But at the next moment, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed at himself.
Annan suddenly felt that his emotions calmed down for a moment.
As if he had been sedated, his mind went blank...all emotions were stripped away.
If he were a normal person, he might have completely lost his ability to resist at this time. But Annan was used to the reversed Heart of Winter, so the unexpected feeling was okay.
But she certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to show it at this time.
At this moment, the old man asked her calmly, "How far can you go for strength?"
"I'm willing to pay whatever it takes."
Annan kept his expression calm and narrated in a low voice.
"Everything - this statement makes no sense."
The old man responded in the same calm tone.
His pupils were deep and blue, and there seemed to be a cold energy visible to the naked eye surging inside.
Da.
The old man paused his cane slightly and said calmly, "Are you willing to sacrifice your soul for the path to transcendence?"
"I do."
"Can you promise to keep all secrets?"
"I can."
"Can you give all your feelings and never fall in love with anyone again in this life?"
"I can."
"Are you willing to kill innocent people for orders?"
"I do."
"Where are the women and children?"
"..."
"Are you willing to do a fatal mission?"
"..."
"What about high difficulty, narrow escape from death?"
"...I can try."
"If I ordered you to do it, would you go?"
"...I can."
So far, Annan has been speculating on the possible answers based on "Bella's" character, lest the answer be too positive and not be accepted.
After all, the Hand of Winter is a national spy agency, not a killer organization... A more upright outlook will definitely be better and more reassuring.
But then, the old man’s question made Annan smell something bad
"——Are you loyal to the Grand Duke?"
...What kind of inquiry is this?
Loyalty – does it mean anything? It is completely a trait that can be cultivated. No one is born loyal.
Unless...
In a very brief moment of thinking, Annan replied like this
"I can be loyal if need be."
"——Very good quality."
The old man nodded calmly.
He raised his cane slightly ~IndoMTL.com~ and pointed at Annan.
"Hold my cane and stand up. Homeless puppy."
He replied calmly in a voice without any emotion, "From now on, you are a human being."
"...Yes!"
Annan pulled his cane and stood up.
He felt the cold and silent feeling deep in his soul being taken away, and suddenly he felt a sense of excitement that was several times stronger than usual——
He suddenly understood.
The previous technique was probably not just for lie detection. A considerable part of the reason is to form a good impression during the first meeting.
The old man withdrew his cane and asked calmly, "Your name is Bella, right."
"Yes! My name is Bella... no last name."
"So Bella - I am your teacher. You don't need to know my name, you just need to call me 'teacher', do you understand?"
"...Yes, teacher!"
She immediately waggled her tail and came closer, her voice filled with excitement, "When can I become a transcendent?"
"You must first pass the 'Wolf Kiss' test. You will be the ones walking with the frost beasts... If you cannot tame the frost beasts, you are not worthy of becoming the Hand of Winter."
The old man turned away calmly, then turned his head slightly and came back.
A faint blue light seemed to flash in his deep eyes, "I'm warning you one last time, a wolf kiss can kill someone.
"If you leave this alley with me, there will be no room to look back or give up."
"I am already...ready to wake up."
Annan said seriously, "Do you need to teach me anything, teacher?"
"No need. You must survive the wolf kiss first, and then we can."
The old man replied briefly, turned and left.
Annan followed without hesitation.
He felt a slight movement in his heart.
Wolf kiss...
Does it mean the frost beast's... "eating"?
