Chapter 648: Annans Seventh Mirror
Annan, who was lazily slumped in the chair like a cat, opened his eyes widely.
In the beginning, Annan only wanted to see how Suuankou planned to improve his power and how much he planned to increase.
Previously, Suuankou had a sudden enlightenment. He realized that as a player from the Destruction School, he would have a shameful situation of insufficient firepower. The so-called power was his justice. He was determined to devote himself to the way of justice.
However, it was unexpected that Suuankou had fallen into a curse after departing from the group.
The curse named Knot was not complicated and was naturally within Annans knowledge.
However, even if Annan knew the principle of the curse and how to resolve it, he didnt intend to inform Suuankou. The curse wouldnt attach itself to the soul, making it unremovable.
Generally speaking, the curse of the knot series was essentially a form of restraint.
These curses could inhibit the birth of a fetus, suppress male desire, impede the bodys self-healing abilities, and more. Combined with the curse of pathogenic fungi, it caused Suuankou to suffer from high fever and weakness, ultimately leading to his death.
However, this level of curse would be washed away after one death.
Moreover, Suuankou wasnt a Destruction Wizard he just smelled like a Destruction Wizard. There was no need to worry about blowing up the surrounding streets and accidentally injuring civilians after his death.
Moreover, there were never any civilians here from the beginning
Saltpeter Ranch was the breeding ground of the demon. It was originally a paradise for sinners and criminals.
The vast majority of people here were death row inmates. Except for those like them who came here by subway from other underground cities, none were innocent.
The outsiders who came here must have something to ask for.
After all, this was the southernmost part of the United Kingdom.
It was the boundary of the entire civilized world. Therefore, there werent any subways pa.s.sing through here The subway that arrived at the Saltpeter Ranch came only once every 40 days, and it was just a single freight train with only two pa.s.senger cars.
The main goal of this train was to transport the saltpeter away. They didnt bother much with human transportation because the notorious Saltpeter Ranch was a gathering place of criminals. No one bothered much about them.
That place was filled with societal sc.u.mbags, where murder wasnt considered a crime. Thus, being wanted meant nothing there.
The people there were either notorious sc.u.mbags who couldnt be messed with or good people who cleaned up sc.u.mbags.
So, either way, they werent taken seriously or respected.
At that time, Annan spectated the scene for leisure, wanting to see Suuankou blast his way through. It would be an excellent reference to Nefetaris combat approach that focused on outputting damage.
It was precisely because of this that Annan would tend to spectate Suuankou.
However, Annan didnt expect to receive the critical information instead of just catching some fun.
The Eternal Lady Ingrid yearned for the power of the Divine Transporter, aiming for the truth of Ascendant Love.
The Seventh Luminary of the Sun was the light seen when the transcended soul was sent to the Light Realm by the Divine Transporter in the ascendancy ritual.
Eternal Ladys [ascension] referred to this luminary.
If death had a direction, it must be downward; if the ascension from mortal to deity had a direction, it must be upward.
Divine Transporter was a four-wheeled vehicle that walked on the road of ascension and change. It was a collection of non-physical concepts of ascension.
Although what Ingrid sought was merely the Ascendant Love, one of the many forms of ascension, her ritual aimed to seek the Book of the Divine Transporter. At the very least, she was calling for fragments of the book.
The Divine Transporter was light the light born in a mirror.
While Ingrid was pure and bright, Annan was brighter. Therefore, Don Juan was Annans first mirror, embodying the essence of pure brightness as the First Luminary. The Second Luminarys reflection was found in the form of Danton, Annans second mirror. He faced hards.h.i.+ps and failures like Annan. However, Annan pressed on with everlasting and unyielding hope. The hope that never faded away was the Second Luminary. Following the same pattern, Ingrid, who also possessed the light of the Seventh Luminary, undoubtedly served as a mirror. Moreover, she was the seventh mirror that did not exist in the Book of Divine Transporter.
That was because the Book of Divine Transporter had only six pages.
Annan hissed softly, Its like what Father Stone said. Destiny is the fate of the Divine Transporter, and it will leave traces after it has pa.s.sed.
When Annan pursued his mirrors with his own will, he couldnt find his mirror. Just like a wheel could not precisely travel on the tracks it had already madeinterfering with destiny could lead to changes in destiny itself.
The fate altered by interference was like retracing the same tracks of a wheel. It was similar to the wheel of a vehicle moving along the same tracks it had already traveled. In other words, trying to alter destiny would lead to similar outcomes without any significant change.
After Annan learned from the Faceless Poet that he had seven mirrors in total and Nicholas was his fourth mirror through deduction, he had never been able to get any new information related to the mirror.
From this point of view, the Faceless Poets behavior was indeed a part of keeping secrets. She leaked some secrets to prevent new secrets from being revealed.
At this point, Annans efforts to collect the fragments of the Book of Divine Transporter had come to an impa.s.se.
He had almost forgotten about this matter, leading to the current situation.
Without Annan interfering at all, Suuankou helped him find the seventh mirror.
This was undoubtedly the so-called fate.
Neither Suuankou nor the other players knew about the existence of the mirror. After hearing Saint Henrys introduction to Eternal Lady, he didnt think much about it.
In the Gemini nightmare that Annan challenged, Seti read a pa.s.sage from the book, [Praise the Divine Transporter], to him. Naturally, players wouldnt know the situation when Annan cleared the nightmare, nor would they realize there was a fishy book here.
Then, when Suuankou summed up the information and shared it with other players, crucial details like the Eternal Ladys desire was the Ascendant Love, and the fact that the t.i.tle Eternal Lady was taken from the Book of Divine Transporter might be overlooked as a meaningless background.
Supposed Suuankou summed up this information as Eternal Lady intended to awaken the love element to the limit and Annan hadnt happened to be watching Suuankou.
Then, Annan would miss out on this crucial information.
Anna would never realize that Ingrid was his seventh mirror. Based on the information he knew, the Book of Divine Transporter had only six pages, and Nicholas, currently on the run, was the fourth mirror. Apart from that, he hadnt discovered the sixth mirror yet.
Wait a minute. Somethings not right. Annan suddenly became conflicted again.
He curled up into a ball, holding his head in his hands, and crouched on the chair.
He realized a more critical problem.
He already knew that Ingrid was his seventh mirror and Nicholas was his fourth mirror.
So
Should I approach Ingrid now? Should I send players to find Ingrid for him?
So, am I supposed to know about it?!
Annan was conflicted.
He suddenly had the urge to punch Faceless Poet.
If you hadnt spoiled me on the plot, would I be so troubled now?!
Forget it. I didnt say anything.
Ultimately, he decided it was best not to do anything or give instructions. He would let the players act freely If everything went smoothly, Ingrid would eventually appear in front of Annan on her own.
Just in case, it was better for Annan not to mobilize or give orders to Lin Yiyis team anymore.
It all depended on the AI bots.
Although I am the NPC in the eyes of the players, Im forced to treat the players as NPCs instead.
Annan always felt that something was not right.
