The masked "Lily Rasputin" on the treasure ship "Silver" is undoubtedly Euphemia Melvin who ran away from home that year.
Annan has so far failed to verify the correctness of this speculation.
But Selicia...
It was her reply at that time that convinced Annan that his thinking was not wrong.
It was just speculation before, but it won't be too troublesome to verify this speculation.
Anyway, in this world where "everything will be forgotten in the next week", even if you make the wrong contact or choice, it will not have any impact. Although it is used to seal the alien world born from the skeleton, for Annan,
Say...it also has another use.
——In the outside world, there are some remarks and some actions that can make the situation take a turn for the worse and enter an "unimagined ending". If it is in the game, it can be roughly called a "hidden ending" or an "Easter egg" or something like that.
Well, the biggest secrets are usually hidden in them.
But the biggest difference between reality and games is that "reality cannot be read."
This means that if you want to enter the so-called "hidden line" ending, you must abandon the "normal ending" that is currently available and will eventually come.
This is a very difficult decision.
In other words, it is precisely because the game can be restarted repeatedly by loading files. The joy gained when reaching the ending will not be that grand - precisely because "getting this ending" is what all players already know when they start the game.
Once the original purpose is achieved, its value will decrease.
Compared with full platinum and hidden endings, normal playthrough seems "not interesting enough"... Even if the hidden ending may not be as good as the regular ending in terms of text volume and impact, people will still pursue the hidden ending. It seems that as long as the hidden ending is designed
The ending will be more compelling and original.
And in this infinite nightmare of eternal reincarnation, the conditions for "readable files" have been met.
This means that Annan can obtain some intelligence that cannot be obtained under normal circumstances through some destructive means...
For example, Annan told Celicia his real name.
Although she will temporarily obey Annan's order and tell Annan everything she can...but it also means that obtaining some information will become more difficult.
She could tell ordinary people, she could tell Ai Lei, a stranger and passerby. But she could not tell Annan.
——There must be such a thing.
Since this project will eventually end, everyone will lose this memory. So if we don't take advantage of such a rare opportunity to torture out some rare information... it will be too wasteful.
Because this incident may damage Annan's image in the hearts of players.
So Annan didn’t bring Longjing tea this time.
In order to control the madness of Longjing Tea, he was temporarily sent back to his home - this is undoubtedly the safest place that can best meet the needs of "acting".
Of course you need to rest at night, but you need a reason to leave home.
At first, Annan was worried about this... If Euphemia returned home honestly, it would not be easy to find her residence in this high-rise building.
But fortunately, Euphemia Melvin is not that kind of person.
It is not particularly difficult to find her.
——Her appearance is really impressive.
Her hair was a silvery gray as heavy as mercury, and the hair strands hung straight down; near the end, it turned into pink-purple curls with highlights for no reason.
With such an incongruous hair color, you will never forget it easily after seeing her once. Not to mention that she also wears a metal mask that covers the upper half of her face, making her look like a goddess...
Annan and Selicia did not even use any extraordinary abilities, nor did they allow Longjing Cha to use the police station. They simply asked a circle of passers-by and found Euphemia with ordinary people's investigative abilities.
She was walking leisurely along the food street at the moment - holding a can of coconut juice in her left hand, and several hot skewers in her right hand. With a very bold gesture, she nibbled several skewers at the same time in one bite.
food on the table while chewing.
Judging from the thickness of the wooden stick stuck in the cloth bag on her waist, Euphemia may have been eating like this for a long time.
"...Lily?"
Because this image is too different from usual.
So much so that when Selicia saw her, she couldn't help but be silent for a moment.
She asked tentatively: "Is that you?"
"Ah, Captain."
Euphemia seems to have no doubt that "Celicia will eventually find her."
The moment she was called, she said hello to Cecilia without hesitation: "You're a little late. So I'm not the first in your heart. This is so sad."
.I thought you would find me earlier..."
She spoke of sadness, but her voice was carefree, and there didn't seem to be any sadness.
She turned around and was stunned for a moment when she saw Airei. Then she raised the corners of her mouth and said hello: "Hey, little Airei... I didn't expect you to come in too. By the way, aren't you an angel?"
She obviously still couldn't forget the time when Ai Lei suddenly turned into an angel and flew away.
But she didn't seem too bothered.
Noticing that Ailei's eyes were focused on the coconut juice in her left hand, she handed it over with a smile: "It's coconut juice, it's very delicious. Among several drinks, this one tastes the best to me...
…Not only is it fresh, it’s also very sweet. Do you want to try it?”
Obviously, she has already bought a lot of drinks in this "other world".
Otherwise, it will obviously be difficult to achieve this level of familiarity.
As the creator of this otherworldly nightmare, the Bone Burial Granny can either accurately see the projection of the future; or she can find fragments of "modern" life from the player's memory and absorb them as material... and instantly
This complete, but slightly smaller, "different world" was built.
Annan prefers the latter.
Because there are some very unnecessary things in this world.
The biggest feature of the mist world, apart from the curses that go hand in hand with the curses, is the "ritual" that started with the mysterious lady.
Although this power is controlled by the "Mysterious Lady", even if more people know about it, the mystery will not fade and the power will not be weakened.
Because the essence of the ritual is to "rent" extraordinary power.
Countries unanimously control the mysterious knowledge that can create ritual masters, not because it will weaken the power of rituals, but because the "mysterious knowledge" itself is too dangerous.
As long as the ritual fails, it will lead to various disasters - it may be earthquakes, tsunamis, heavy rains, droughts, or house explosions. People in the same town will fall into nightmares one after another, and all participants in the ritual will become crazy, or simply
Loss of life, destruction of the ceremony venue... and so on, no matter what the result is, it will be very troublesome.
On the other hand, holding the power of rituals will make ordinary people quickly expand - they do not have the curse of extraordinary people to restrain themselves, nor do they have the many distracting thoughts that condense their souls and eliminate them when they advance to silver.
More careless, more impulsive and regardless of the consequences.
In other words, controlling rituals does not mean that the power of rituals will be weakened because there are too many ritual masters...it is just the violent organs of the kingdoms on the earth, and their force cannot suppress them and deter civil ritual masters from abiding by the law.
Well, with the development of technology...
Miniaturization, black boxing, and officialization of rituals are the inevitable path to development.
And in the hundreds of years between these, new and more useful rituals will inevitably appear. Because rituals can be created...as long as they comply with certain rules, they can be imported into the "truth" system.
middle.
But according to Annan's observation, this "alien world" is closer to an Earth-like world view that "adopts part of the mist world setting".
It has almost completely blocked the development of all non-magical rituals. Instead, it is like an aerial city formed by using the magical knowledge of various schools, headed by the Transformation School, and combining it with the technology of the earth in the twentieth century.
One thought creates the world...
The power of the Bone Burial Granny even made Annan feel a little nervous.
What makes him hesitate now is...
After all, among the twelve righteous gods, each one has the same level of power...
Or is it that only the bone burying mother-in-law is special?
