Player Super Justice Silver Chapter 50: Heart Binding Julius's old face showed a convincing and kind smile: "[You are completely tired of making sculptures], and you have even been depressed to the point of going crazy...
...Oh, shouldn't I tell you this? Then please forget these words...Okay, you will forget these words in the future."
"Isn't this something I shouldn't know?"
Annan's face showed a little fear.
But in his heart, he just remembered the details calmly.
...Although I didn’t think about it specifically, there are too many details.
Annan didn't want to think by himself, but he still guessed everything easily.
Julius did not use suggestion to force "Bernardino" to forget this sentence. Moreover, Dr. Julius had already given hints to "Bernardino" from the very beginning.
In other words, this was a lie trap specially laid out to prevent "Bernardino" from noticing that the hint of amnesia had been planted for him from the very beginning.
Dr. Julius is not a real doctor.
In other words, he did not sincerely hope that "Bernardino" could recover...but that he hoped that he would give up this path.
Father Ludwig gave up his own life to pave the way to heaven for Bernardino.
Perhaps even Bernardino himself underestimated his talent in sculpture.
If Annan understands it correctly...it's even possible to become a god.
He possesses such artistic talent, which means that he can easily reach the position of bishop, or even enter the cardinal level. That is the true status of a "powerful person".
For the son of a fisherman, if he misses this opportunity, he will never find it again...the opportunity to completely change his destiny.
Father Ludwig is sincerely good to Bernardino. It is impossible for him to agree to Bernardino entering the seminary, which would mean a waste of his talents. It is even less possible for him to write any recommendations for Bernardino.
letter
Because at this time, Father Ludwig was already dead!
Even the one killed by Bernardino himself!
As an elite ritualist, Annan was very aware that... the process of Bernardino killing Father Ludwig was a very complex complex ritual. This was obviously designed carefully by Father Ludwig for a long time.
product.
He specifically imposed unreasonable restrictions on Bernardino, making himself a "shackle" for Bernardino's pursuit of freedom.
There is a soul in the statues made by Bernardino, because he remembered the soul of the things he saw and copied them again.
In other words, he is the kind of sculptor with a "photographic memory". As long as he takes a look at someone, he can carve out an image similar to his soul without looking at the picture. Even if he uses it in front of Bernardino
You can't hide your true nature even by pretending.
The destruction ceremony has a basic requirement... Only the "objects" he loves can be used in the destruction ceremony. That's why the priest asked him to make a large number of stone statues like his own, in order to confuse Bernardino's understanding of "killing" and "killing".
The difference between "destruction ceremony".
He did not "kill" his adoptive father, but "destroyed" the shackles.
He used this method to turn himself into a "limiter" that restricted Bernardino's talent. He shattered all constraints imposed by Bernardino's origin, education, character, morality, and imagination.
In this way, Bernardino's soul is no longer bound.
This is not only a simple destruction ceremony, but also a substitution ceremony using the "Law of Similarity"... just like burning "filthy things".
As long as Dr. Julius peels away Bernardino's guilt, fear, and confusion, Bernardino may even hope to become the next "Stone Father" and Yaweng's follower!
...This whole process is like the priest's evaluation of Bernardino.
It's not like carving the stone into the desired shape; it's like it was originally the jade in the stone, and he just chiseled away the remaining material.
The peerless sculptor, Father Ludwig.
He is not retiring to pass on his legacy to Bernardino.
Instead, he spent several years... sacrificing his own life to create a peerless sculpture.
Bernardino itself is Father Ludwig's last work!
The process of the ritual itself is quite complex, but it is very easy to understand if broken down. As the professor of the Tower of Black Glory, Julius cannot possibly know anything about this. Rather, he is the last link, the one who blows the wind.
It is a step to remove the floating dust from the sculpture and polish it to make it shine.
But the old wizard Julius gave Bernardino another answer.
He erased Bernardino's memory of killing Father Ludwig and kept him away from the path of sculpture. He even tricked him into entering "Denisoya Seminary", claiming that Bernardino had obtained Father Ludwig's
letter of recommendation.
This is naturally what Bernardino hopes for in his heart.
So he believed it.
In other words, after losing the most impactful experience of "ritual: vast destruction" that could reshape one's personality, Bernardino wanted to believe that this was true.
And you can imagine what happens next...
Bernardino certainly didn't lose any letters of recommendation.
Because there are no letters of recommendation at all, they never existed from the beginning.
It’s just that he thought “this letter of recommendation exists” because it clearly existed in his memory. And after he spent all the money, he refused to go home or even contact the old priest.
The reason is exactly the same.
He hopes to escape the fact that he "killed his adoptive father", and this mentality is amplified by his psychiatrist, and the distortion becomes "You swore to become an outstanding big shot before you can go back to see Ludwig".
bondage.
This is not a curse, but a bondage of words.
It is also a shackles of the heart.
From then on, he could no longer make good sculptures.
He was knocked back to the "apprentice" stage, and because the shackles were never broken, he felt depressed, so his works were worse than when he was an apprentice.
Annan even guessed that...it was probably Professor Julius who finally invited Bernardino into the Tower of Black Glory.
Why would he invite a passerby into the Tower of Black Glory?
I'm afraid part of it is pity for his situation, and part of it is curiosity about the fate of their reunion... But more importantly, it is to ruthlessly and completely cut off Bernardino's sculpture path, so that he will never go home again.
, no more sculptures, no more epiphanies.
Therefore, Father Ludwig's sacrifice became meaningless.
But this is by no means an elaborate trap.
Because it is full of too many loopholes and has become too rushed. That is to say, because Father Ludwig does not want him to be distracted and over-protective, Bernardino does not understand the world of extraordinary people, so he is not vigilant enough to accept it.
A hint from Julius.
Bernardino's fate has now taken a different path.
And getting to the bottom of it...
"Why……"
Annan sighed deeply and raised his head.
He looked at Julius faintly.
At that moment, a moment of astonishment flashed in Julius's eyes.
"...It's jealousy, right."
He sighed softly: "I see jealousy in your eyes.
"Jealousy of Bernardino, and...jealousy of your friend, Ludwig."
