The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 49: Dr. Julius

"...now...memory...spell...revealed..."

Intermittent and vague sounds sounded in Annan's ears.

It's like an old radio that emits a sound mixed with a lot of noise when it's not fully tuned to the channel.

——Hopefully if I tap my ring finger twice in a row, they will understand what I mean.

Annan thought.

He can indeed judge what message Isaac wants to convey to him from the few words spoken now.

It's nothing more than "knock on the chair with your left index finger if you can hear it" and "your memory has been theoretically disturbed by spells, be careful not to reveal your secrets". As long as Annan vaguely heard some fragments, he could also make inferences based on the facts for other parts that were not clearly heard.

It's like doing English listening.

Especially here, there are not so many distractions.

Based on the context, you can guess what Isaac means.

But... that's only for now.

If he missed the word "no" in "don't" or the "don't" in "don't go", the meaning would be completely different.

Annan hopes to be able to determine what Annan wants to express by tapping his ring finger, a finger that is symmetrical to the index finger, which means "I heard it, but I can't hear it clearly."

On the other end, when he saw Annan tapping his ring finger for the second time, Isaac quickly realized it.

He pressed the button again and said: "If you can hear clearly, tap the index finger of your left hand; if it is blurry, tap the ring finger of your left hand; if there is a break in the middle, tap the little finger of your left hand. Repeat, if you can hear it clearly, tap the ring finger of your left hand." Tap your index finger..."

"——Are you feeling a little better now?"

Just as the intermittent sounds in his head were heard, the doctor sitting in front of Annan saw Annan wake up. He also put away the paper files in front of him and asked with concern: "Do you feel any discomfort in your head? Do you feel palpitations? Do your fingers... feel numb?"

"...it's okay."

Annan silently tapped the little finger of his left hand twice on the chair, and at the same time, covertly tapped the index finger to the little finger of his right hand again.

He said honestly: "But to be honest, I don't know very well... what happened."

"So, do you have any impression of me?"

The white-haired old man wearing a white robe and a kind face asked slowly.

Annan shook his head in silence.

Looking at his panicked reaction, the doctor chuckled slightly: "This is normal, Bernardino. Don't worry too much."

The doctor comforted Annan, then walked to Annan and began to remove the restraints on him.

After all the devices on his body were removed, the doctor generously extended his right hand to Annan.

That is a warm and powerful old right hand, which will give people a strong sense of security just by touching it.

As the psychiatrist pulled Annan up from the chair, he straightened Annan's collar and said in an orderly manner: "Introduce yourself, you can call me Julius. I am Ludwig's friend. , and he is also the psychiatrist he arranged for you."

"...psychiatrist?"

"Don't worry, I have a medical license. I am a soul-stealer recognized by Denis Sawyer, and I also teach at the Tower of Darkness. Although I may look very old, I am actually less than five years old. Ten years old - this is just an image that needs to be performed. It can make people think that I am harmless, and it can make people feel closer to my heart."

The old man smiled: "You can call me Professor Julius if you like."

"Professor Julius...I still want to ask..."

Annan pursed his lips and made a confused sound.

In front of a silver-level soul-stealing wizard, Annan even temporarily stopped thinking. Overly intense thinking is as conspicuous to a soul-stealing wizard as a bonfire rising in a snowfield.

He temporarily blocked most of his thinking abilities and relied on his instinctive acting skills to conduct conversations.

But at this moment, he also took the opportunity to lift out the task panel and take a look.

【Don't regret】

【Wake up soon】

【Live】

——Three side tasks, none of which have been completed.

In other words, Annan is still in a dream.

Annan refocused his attention and continued to ask: "Do I have any mental illness?"

"Okay, let's first clarify a concept——"

Faced with "Bernardino's" inquiry, the old man Julius simply explained: "People's thoughts are powerful. If you think you have a certain disease - especially a mental illness, then even if you don't have this Disease, you may also gradually have this disease.

"The fundamental reason is that your heart deceives your body. And if you don't trust me enough, even if I tell you, 'Your disease has been cured,' you may still be suspicious subconsciously. .In that case, my treatment itself will be meaningless."

"Is it even necessary to cleanse memories to treat diseases..."

"Can you actually realize that your memory has been modified?"

Old Julius raised his eyebrows slightly: "Ah, that's normal. After all, you can't remember me anymore...I've also deleted all memories about me from your mind."

The white-haired old wizard who looked quite old showed a brisk and gentle smile: "[After we part, the memory of this conversation will be buried deep in your heart, and you will never think of it again]. Okay, If you have anything else you want to ask, you can ask. As long as it doesn’t involve your illness, I can answer anything you want.”

"Who pays for my treatment?"

"Ludwig, of course."

The wizard returned to his seat, chuckled and narrowed his eyes.

The gentle smile at the corner of his mouth did not change at all: "Do you have any income?"

"...I didn't."

"Of course. Especially [you have made an appointment with Ludwig to study at Denisoya Theological Seminary], and you have to use the money you have on hand sparingly. [You don’t want to go back in despair after running out of money. Home], right? After all, [you swore to become an outstanding big shot before you could go back to see Ludwig]."

Dr. Julius crossed his legs and placed his fingers on his knees in a less solemn manner. His upper body naturally leaned back on the chair, and he looked very relaxed.

This is an action that is not consistent with his current "old" image.

What Annan will not ignore is this.

——He felt very clearly that in the conversation just now... there was a mysterious power that filled the air with Julius's words.

Those are traces of the soul-stealing spell.

Although the spellcasting was very natural and could easily fool Bernardino, the traces of the spellcasting were too clear for both Annan and Isaac.

After all, he is just a silver-level wizard who is nearly fifty years old and still has to take classes in the wizard tower to make a living.

Although Annan is also a Silver-level wizard... But even if he is also a Silver-level wizard, there is a clear gap in his level.

This is a soul-stealing spell called [Suggestion].

When the other party is not aware of the unreasonableness of the words, you can add "non-existent memories" to the other party by adding hints, or directly change the other party's decision-making.

Although those few sentences blended naturally into the overall conversation, there were still flaws. Because suggestion requires very clear articulation, calm statements, and no ambiguity.

As for those few sentences, not only did the sentence structure sound a little inconsistent... but most people would not speak so clearly when speaking. Every place has its own dialect - even Mandarin is quite different from the broadcast accent, which is such a sense of dissonance.

If Dr. Julius had been more vigilant, he might have chosen a better topic to instill hints into Bernardino.

But to him, Bernardino is just a mortal who has never mastered any magic. And he is still a child. Once the conversation is over, all subsequent memories will be cleared based on the effect of the first hint... then there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Don't be so nervous."

Seeing Annan say nothing, Dr. Julius couldn't help laughing and showed a kind smile: "Are you afraid of me? Oh, by the way..."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his back.

"[This is a letter of introduction written by Ludwig for you ~IndoMTL.com~ to arrange for you to enter the seminary to study the natural philosophy knowledge you want to learn]."

Dr. Julius made a soft voice.

The lips are slightly open and the teeth are touching lightly. Invisible fluctuations echoed in the small space.

"Is this...a letter of introduction?"

"Yes, Ludwig doesn't want to see you in such distress every day. After all, he is your adoptive father and loves you deeply."

"Distressed?"

“Don’t you already... [don’t want to make sculptures anymore]?”

Dr. Julius stared at Annan.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his voice was gentle and convincing.
