The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 744

[Chapter 272 Distributed Computing]

Annan certainly remembered that time.

His cheap uncle, who had never met or even married, was killed by Winter’s Hand who rescued the hostages during that kidnapping.

Later, Ivan’s father also died of depression.

The Hand of Winter who decisively killed the hostage was the old man who followed Maria to the White Tower.

“…What exactly are worms?”

Annan asked carefully: “Is there some kind of trap in this room?”

“[Worms] are not some real insects, but an appearance and a symbol. It is the embodiment of the so-called ‘non-serpent snake’ in elven rituals. According to current archaeological research, the prototype of the ‘non-serpent snake’ seems to be some kind of giant parasite… It parasitizes on the earth , like a snake born in the earth.”

Zhuo Ya explained in a more academic tone: “It is generally represented by concepts such as [parasitic], [invisible pain], [self-devouring], [circulation], etc. The type of ritual is embodied, just as the ritual with the concept of [Silence] will summon darkness, and the ritual with the concept of [Lucky] will summon the dice

. It is also the blood of snakes, and the blood of snakes here refers to the blood of worms.

Because the ‘non-snake snake’ is a parasite of the earth, it is also blood of stone and blood of tree.

”

…Earth? Does

this mean Granny Buried?

Annan squinted slightly.

Speaking of which, the “Night” of that year took away part of his power and gave birth to the mysterious lady. Granny Buried as “Earth” At the time, did it become the current posture without losing any power?

Since the existence of “Pleasant Blood” is related to the worm… Can it be understood that the worm also stole some of the power belonging to the “earth”

? It’s as if the mysterious lady has a part of the power that belongs to the night. It’s

just that this is not a gift, but a steal – it is an “invisible pain”.

And [self-devouring] and [circulation]…

“What is the specific image of the worm?”

Annan asked.

“It has no physical form, but ritually it is a snake that devours itself, forming a ring shape,”

Zoya replied.

…Ouroboros?

Annan opened his eyes slightly.

Isn’t this the Ouroboros?

Zoya continued to speak.

“If a black, intermittent ring pattern appears in front of someone’s heart, or at the joints at the end of their limbs, it can be understood that they have been bitten by a ‘worm’.

“That is, he has died once… But it was resurrected this way.

Even among the fearless ritualists, the worm ritual is a taboo of taboos.

”

“Why?”

”

“Because ‘worms’ are contagious.

Zoya replied.

”

The worm ritual is not so much a resurrection ritual as it is self-backup.

The personality of the person resurrected by the worm ritual is not the original personality of the deceased, but a mixed personality dominated by the solidified ritualist personality… If they continue to kill and carry out the worm ritual, they can still use the original ritual. The teacher’s personality is passed on intact.

“Because the ‘parasite’ who was resurrected by the worm ritual

does not have the memory of the ritualist himself, only the personality of the moment when the ritualist performed the ritual – he knew what he was going to do, but because he did not have this experience, he wanted to It’s impossible to search his memory through deprivation.

“And those who have been resurrected can continue their activities for thirteen days.

After thirteen days, the corpse will rot… But in these thirteen days, as long as one more ritual is performed, the mission can be passed on.

“It may be slow at first, but once it starts to spread, it will be very crazy – even the ritualist himself may not be able to stop it.”

It’s like a virus self-proliferating.

Annan understood.

No wonder the official Winter Winter wants to exterminate this comedian organization.

They are not harmful in themselves, but the forbidden ritual they master is very dangerous – once they get out of control, it will be a disaster.

“…But is this really a ceremony held by the elves?”

Annan frowned slightly, deeply suspicious of this: “I feel that this ceremony is full of evil.”

“Because… this ceremony, It wasn’t originally used that way.”

Zhuoya shook her head: “Before you were born, Your Majesty, we have already investigated the worm teaching…”

She was about to continue to explain, but was interrupted by Zolgen.

“You take your majesty back first.”

Sorgen didn’t look back, just whispered to Zoya in a whisper: “Ostov Dolgoruky is the identity that was revealed. I doubt him. There may be some traps prepared in the room.”

“Should I go in and take a look?”

Si Anke couldn’t help but said, “I can be resurrected.”

“Destroy the wizard to the other end, don’t stand with His Majesty.”

Zuo Ergan said unceremoniously: “I have a lot of experience, but you will drag me down with me.”

… I feel that you are discriminating against us and destroying wizards.

Si Anke pursed his lips and said nothing.

Annan supported the scepter and retreated to the beginning of the corridor.

Hearing such a big movement on the second floor, the Viscount’s wife and son on the first floor remained silent.

The three players looked at each other.

“I’ll go down and watch,” the

wandering child whispered.

Citalopram shook his head: “You’re not suitable… Your weapon is too big to carry. I’ll go… I’ll drop by to chat with their mother and son. Remember to share the perspective of the live broadcast for me, I’m from Keep an eye on it from below.”

“It’s the same for you. When you are in danger, you delay time. We will go down as soon as possible.” The

child whispered.

He also realized that… this place doesn’t seem to be what he thought at first.

This is not a safe house, but the inside of a copy.

If the custom of the Worm Cult is to imitate the elves… the whole town doesn’t seem right.

Not to mention the two relatives who clearly gave off a sense of discord.

“I will.”

Citalopram nodded and walked down alone.

They watched Zorgen press his right hand on the door, his shadow flowing like a living thing, and flowing in through the crack of the door – this scene reminded Annan of Kaphne.

It’s just that Zorgen’s manipulation of shadows seems to be different from Kaphne’s.

If the tentacles in Kaphne’s shadow are like limbs, Sorgen’s Tora will remind Annan of the Elemental Pool.

——It’s like the monk Chengling called for power from the elements.

But Zorgen is only silver now, and should not have awakened the element…

“The elves developed the worm ritual, not to use it to extend their personality-elves have many life extension rituals, and they themselves have spell energy that can be used, and besides Elves have long lifespans. They don’t need to use this method to ‘replicate themselves’ at all.”

Zoya continued: “In the beginning, it was a ritual for research

. Duplicates…using multiple ‘individuals’ to use the same idea and think synchronously.

”

…Distributed computing?

Annan was shocked.
