The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 1007

[Chapter 50 The Binding of the Heart]
On Julius’ old face, a convincing and kind smile appeared: “[You are completely tired of making sculptures], and even before you were depressed to the point of going crazy… Oh, shouldn’t I tell you this? Then please forget these words… Well, you will forget these words later.”
“Isn’t this something I shouldn’t know?”
Annan’s face showed a little panic.
But in his heart he just kept the details calmly in mind.
… Although I didn’t think about it specially, there are too many details.
Annan didn’t want to think for himself, but he guessed everything easily.
Julius did not use suggestion, forcing “Bernardino” to forget this sentence.
And Dr. Julius had hinted at “Bernardino” from the very beginning.
In other words, this is to prevent “Bernardino” from realizing that the hint of amnesia had been planted for him from the very beginning, and he specially arranged a lie trap.
Doctor Julius, not really a doctor.
Or rather, he is not wishing from the bottom of his heart that “Bernardino” can recover…but that he would give up this path.
——This Father Ludwig gave up his life, and also paved the way for Bernardino to reach the sky.
I am afraid that even Bernardino himself underestimated his talent on the way to sculpture.
If Annan didn’t get it wrong… that’s even a chance to become a god.
He possesses such artistic talent, which means that he can easily reach the position of bishop, and even enter the cardinal hierarchy.
That is true “power” status.
For the son of a fisherman, it was an opportunity that he could never find again if he missed this opportunity… a chance to completely change his fate.
Father Ludwig was really good to Bernardino.
It was impossible for him to agree to Bernardino’s admission to seminary, which would mean a waste of his talents.
He is even less likely to write a letter of recommendation for Bernardino –
because at this time, Father Ludwig is dead!
It was even killed by Bernardino himself!
As an elite ritualist, Annan
is very aware that…the process of Father Ludwig killed by Bernardino is a very complex compound ritual.
This is clearly the product of Father Ludwig’s careful design.
He specially imposed unreasonable constraints on Bernardino, making himself the “shackles” of Bernardino’s pursuit of freedom.
A statue made by Bernardino, in which there is a soul.
Because he remembers the soul of what he sees, and reproduces it again.
In other words, he’s the “unforgettable” type of sculptor.
Just one glance at someone, without looking at the picture, can carve a similar appearance to his soul.
Even using disguise in front of Bernardino, he couldn’t hide his true nature.
There is a basic requirement for the Destruction Ritual… Only the “objects” you love can be used in the Destruction Ritual.
That’s why the priest asked him to make a large number of stone statues like himself, in order to confuse Bernardino’s mind about the difference between “killing” and “destroying rituals”.
Not “killing” the adoptive father, but “destroying” the shackles.
In this way, he turned himself into a “limiter” that restrained Bernardino’s talents.
Smash Bernardino because of the constraints of his origin, education, character, morals, and imagination.
In this way, Bernardino’s soul is no longer bound.
This is not just a simple ritual of destruction, but also a substitute ritual that uses the “Law of Similarity”… It’s like burning “dirty things”.
As long as Dr. Julius strips away Bernardino’s guilt, fear, and confusion, Bernardino even has the hope of becoming the next “Stone Father” and becoming the servant of Javon!
… This whole process is like a priest’s evaluation of Bernardino.
It’s not that the stone is carved into the desired shape; it’s like the original jade in the stone, and he just chiseled the remaining material.
A peerless sculptor, Father Ludwig.
He is not retiring, but will pass on his mantle to Bernardino.
Instead, it took years… to sacrifice his own life to make a masterpiece.
– Bernardino himself, Father Ludwig’s last work!
The process of the ritual itself is quite complicated, but it is very easy to understand if it is disassembled.
Julius, as a professor at the Tower of Black Glory, could not have known nothing about it.
Rather, he is the last link, a step to blow off the floating dust from the sculpture and polish it to shine.
But the old wizard Julius gave Bernardino another answer.
He erased Bernardino’s memory of killing Father Ludwig, keeping him out of the way of sculpture.
Even tricked him into entering “Denisoya Theological Seminary”, claiming that Bernardino had already received a letter of recommendation from Father Ludwig.
This is naturally what Bernardino was looking forward to.
So he believed it.
Or rather, having lost the most impactful and reshaping experience of “Ritual: The Massive Destruction,” Bernardino wanted to believe it was true.
And what happened next can be imagined…
——Bernardino certainly didn’t lose any letters of recommendation.
Because there are no letters of recommendation, not from the very beginning.
It’s just that he thought “this letter of recommendation exists” because this matter clearly existed in his memory.
And after he spent all the money, he kept trying not to go home or even contact the old priest, which was precisely the reason.
He wanted to escape the fact that he “killed his adoptive father”, and this mentality was magnified and distorted by his psychiatrist – and it became [You swore that you must become an outstanding big man before you can go back to see Ludwig] such a bondage.
This is not a curse, but a bondage of words.
It is the bondage of the heart.
Since then, he has never been able to make good sculptures.
He was beaten back to the “apprentice” stage, and because the shackles were never broken, he was upset, so his work was worse than when he was an apprentice.
Annan even guessed… It was probably this Professor Julius who finally invited Bernardino into the Tower of Black Glory.
Why would he invite a passerby to enter the Tower of Black Glory?
I am afraid that part of it is pity for his situation, part of it is curiosity about the fate of this reunion… But more, it is to cut off Bernardino’s road of sculpture completely and let him never go home. , no more sculptures, no more epiphanies.
Thus, Father Ludwig’s sacrifice becomes meaningless.
– but this is by no means a well-planned trap.
It also became too rushed because it was full of too many loopholes.
That is, because Father Ludwig didn’t want him to be distracted and overprotected, Bernardino didn’t understand the world of the superhuman, so he was not vigilant enough to accept Julius’s suggestion.
Bernardino’s fate has come to this point, and UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com has embarked on another path.
But the bottom line…
“Hey…”
Annan sighed deeply and raised his head.
He looked at Julius faintly.
At that moment, a moment of astonishment flashed in Julius’ eyes.
“…It’s jealousy, right.”
He sighed softly: “I see jealousy in your eyes.
“Envy of Bernardino, and… jealousy of your friend, Ludwig.
