The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 431: 1/3 of the hero
At the beginning of the scene, Philip was grabbing a handful of barbecued meat and chewing it happily.
"I promise not to leave any descendants. And after my death, I will pass the throne to Kafni. If your majesty, you want to take off my head, I can give you this opportunity... as long as you give I’ll be fine in ten years.”
Philip's face showed a very sincere and respectful smile.
"...You are escaping."
Annan does not appear in the picture.
But his voice sounded very softly in Shisanxiang's ears, and even made him feel a little itchy.
"Your Majesty, I live for myself."
Philip said very clearly: "Even if I run away, I will run away with my chest held high and my head raised, without any hesitation——"
Immediately, the screen suddenly changed.
"His Royal Highness Philip... was assassinated last night."
In front of Annan, a man with his head lowered spoke slowly with a trembling voice.
Behind Annan, Victor narrowed his eyes slightly.
Annan clenched the three-color scepter in his hand.
"——He can't die."
Annan's calm and cold voice sounded off-screen: "It is even less likely that he will commit suicide."
The picture shows Annan looking down at the palace, watching the people outside who know nothing about it walking around like ants.
Annan's voice sounded faintly: "Someone is trying to kill him."
Immediately afterwards, a calm voice that Shisanxiang had never heard rumbled from beside him:
"Nicholas II hopes to use Philip as a material to activate the possibility of himself being a 'Heavenly Car'..."
At the same time as this sound sounded, Shisanxiang saw a young man with white hair and green eyes appearing in the same place as the soul of Bernardino, the spiritual monk who had been killed by the players before.
That person should be Nicholas II.
At this time, the Spirit-bearing Monk has not yet obtained the Philosopher's Stone... The aura on his body is far less terrifying than when he burned the Black Tower in the Zedi.
——He has already known Nicholas II!
"I promise you."
Nicholas II looked at Bernardino and replied in a low voice.
Bernardino smiled hoarsely, revealing a terrifying smile.
Through that smile, Shisanxiang saw the burning Black Tower of the Zedi in a trance.
The crackling sound of burning fire sounded in my ears like a terrifying auditory hallucination.
After the sound became slightly quieter, the burning black tower of the marsh turned into a bright candle.
Annan shifted his perspective from the candlelight to the white, slender, calloused hands that Elizabeth placed in front of her, and then slowly pulled them up.
Elder Princess Elizabeth said solemnly: "According to our investigation, the person who killed Philip was a degenerate...
"—and is a member of the [Nicholas School]."
"Nicholas II?"
Annan's urgent and doubtful voice sounded.
"It's Nicholas II."
The eldest princess Elizabeth replied slowly: "His real name is... Nicholas Flamel."
Annan once again turned his attention to the candle.
As the candlelight became brighter, "Old Bread" Daryl's voice sounded around him: "If it's really him, you'd better be prepared."
"Kafni said..."
Prince Albert's voice also sounded behind him: "His soul is like a devil."
The next moment, the sound of water drops suddenly sounded.
The flames were extinguished instantly - the picture seemed to be soaked in blood mist and became blurred.
A **** butterfly danced... A nursery rhyme sung softly by a child, giving people a slight sense of terror, rang in the ears.
As the butterfly landed on the body of a child with mutilated limbs, his expression of horror made Shisanxiang suddenly startled.
Under him was a corpse that had not yet dried up - and looking at him were children in cages.
Old people, young people, children... many corpses piled together.
That was the "material" that could only be obtained by slaughtering an entire village.
The blood pooled together like a lake.
The scarlet butterfly danced gracefully, leaning down to **** the blood that had not yet dried up, like falling cherry blossoms.
Nicholas II was cutting up a corpse that was still warm; Philip's head was soaked in a jar and placed in a container.
Nicholas seemed to notice something and looked along the camera.
His emerald green pupils became cloudy and cold.
As he casually swung the scalpel in his hand, blood spattered - as if covering the lens, blurring the world in front of him.
After the screen turned again, this piece of blood happened to block the body of the "Faceless Poet". The players can only hear the extremely oppressive voice belonging to the gods.
"...This is what is happening now."
The Faceless Poet said leisurely: "So, Annan...what will you do?
"Stop him immediately? Or wait until his experiment is over first?"
"Do you still need to ask?"
Annan responded without hesitation.
The light in his eyes was as bright as before, even blood stains could not match this light.
"Of course I'm going to save people!"
"Are you alone?"
Maria’s doubts came: “That way you will be alone!
"No one knows if he has any helpers——"
"I will never be alone."
Annan's voice came out very clearly: "Because there will always be someone who will walk with me."
——Shi Sanxiang held her breath.
He himself is the host of a game information program.
I am extremely sensitive to things like "promotional videos".
He realized almost immediately... a new BOSS had appeared!
When the Kingdom of Noah was about to return to peace, he broke the balance and assassinated Prince Philip because of his own selfish desires - it may even be directly related to the previous tragedy of the burning of the Black Tower in the Zeland!
A fallen wizard who was judged by both Kafni and Old Bread as an "extremely dangerous demon" massacred a village for research...
Actually, there was a moment before.
Shisanxiang is still thinking - the original purpose was just to rescue dozens of villagers. In order to save a few dozen people for such a "little thing", summoning all the players to play a group game...is it a big deal?
But after hearing Annan's voice, he suddenly felt ashamed of his "game consciousness".
Because he reacted - this is not virtual data.
But a living person!
There is no need to fight the world-destroying demon king in order to "save the world". It's not just bandits who destroy a village.
Even if the Demon King only wants to destroy a village - he cannot ignore it just because "the number of people saved is too few".
Even if it’s just to save one person!
Once you see someone in need of help and they are able to provide real help - it is impossible to ignore it!
It has nothing to do with whether you are traveling with Annan or not.
That is not a "farm" for the benefit of level, experience, equipment, etc.
Just for justice.
A word that makes your toes touch the floor in embarrassment just by saying it.
A word he had long since disbelieved. ~IndoMTL.com~ The subway stopped and Shisanxiang opened her eyes again.
He walked quickly out of the door...first walking, then jogging, then running at full speed.
——Just like a childhood dream.
He also dreamed of becoming a Superman or a Kamen Rider... and fighting to the death against the evil for the sake of even an innocent passerby.
Now, he finally has this opportunity to realize such a dream.
It is not a dream like "suddenly making a fortune" or "living a life without thinking or working hard".
It was earlier than that...a more innocent and clearer dream.
——Want to be someone’s hero.
He is just a hero who will never retreat even if he fights to the death for the sake of justice, which is scornful of adults, even for one person's life.
Shisanxiang ran back home at full speed.
He himself was surprised that he could run so fast and breathe so steadily——
It was too late to take a shower and order takeout.
But he dove into bed - his soul dived into the river of dreams and flew towards the mist world.
While waiting for the link, he momentarily had the illusion that he was Superman and was flying to the location of the incident.
Although the battle here will not really be fatal...
"——But even if I am one-third of the hero, it should be fine!"
