Chapter 153 What Else Do You Need a Bike For?
"I have one thing I want to confirm your opinion."
Annan's tone was soft.
He asked solemnly and seriously: "You shouldn't mind, let's purify this nightmare?"
Although the two are "baker" and "lord", Annan is his absolute leader. But also a superhuman, and also a wizard, Joseph Barker is undoubtedly Annan's predecessor.
If Joseph is really unwilling, then Annan will try to respect his opinion as much as possible...at least it will leave him some purification times.
With such a number of times, you won't be able to gain a few people; but for Joseph, it may be the "photo album" that he used to miss the old days in his later years.
Although this album is a little cruel to him...
Hearing what Annan said, Joseph glanced at him in surprise.
Then he smiled gently.
Annan noticed.
This was the first time Joseph showed a sincere smile after he entered the room.
"Of course I don't mind. On the contrary, I'll be very grateful to you."
Joseph just shook his head and waved his hand weakly: "I'm just a little tired... Otherwise, as early as 40 years ago, I would have purified it, and then sent a letter to the Silmarillion Island to release the curse on my body. and leave here.
"But I don't know right now what I've been busy with all these years. I've seen too many partings... either struggling in an infinite nightmare, or watching the suffering of others in reality.
"Now I don't want to continue. I'm really tired, a little confused, and a little...don't know what to do."
He said, looking at Annan.
Those dark green pupils were deep and tired.
"Lord Lord, I don't want to be a superhuman anymore. If you find my carrier, please don't give it back to me.
"Of course, if you have anything to ask me, any magic question you want to ask me, just ask me directly. I have always been here, and I like the life of ordinary people.
"And if you want to completely purify this nightmare... My opinion is that you must find the real cause of Amos's death. The cause of Amos's death and the whereabouts of my curse bearer are the only mystery at present. group."
Amos' cause of death...?
Annan immediately reacted to Joseph's words.
He remembered the gramophone charm of the Eye of Timelessness.
Neither the police nor Joseph knew the effect of the spell, but Annan did.
The effect of that gramophone is to allow the user to enter the world of the past and have an impact on what has happened. In addition to not being able to touch creatures, the rest can almost do whatever they want.
Judging from Alley's words, it should have been the second time he used the gramophone on the fourth floor.
if we assume,
When Amos used the gramophone for the third time, he used the last bullet to kill himself on the rooftop...then this wound is very reasonable.
But why on earth would he do this?
As long as he ends the effect of returning to the past, he will still die directly, and his lifespan will be completely exhausted by the eye of lag.
This bullet of his should be able to kill another person.
His actions were very unreasonable.
It's like a piece is missing in the middle...
……and many more?
A flash of light flashed in Annan's mind.
What if Amos's purpose is this?
The trajectory of Amos's actions emerged in his mind:
If he wants to die on the rooftop, he has to reach the rooftop once.
Then he returned to the fifth floor or a certain floor where the phonograph was stored, and used the phonograph for the third time, entering the world of the past.
After that, he went to the basement to release Angelo.
Later, for some unknown reason, he returned to the rooftop again...with a shot from behind him, he killed himself shortly after arriving on the rooftop in "backward time".
Because Amos was dead, he couldn't leave the rooftop and go below to activate the gramophone. That's why he died on the rooftop, and he was shot in the back and killed by only one dirty blood bullet.
This can also explain who released Angelo who was sealed in the wine, and why Amos was killed by the dirty blood bullet from behind.
But what was his motive?
Annan stretched out his hand and tapped the table rhythmically.
He thought for a moment, then slowly asked Joseph: "I have a question, now I think you should be able to tell me now...
"What exactly was your Advanced Curse back then? I want to know the taboos and effects."
The curse obtained during the advanced stage is stored in the carrier.
Joseph, who has lost his carrier, has no meaning of secrecy.
Joseph seemed not surprised that Annan raised this question.
"You are very clever, Lord."
He just said with a smile: "I have nothing to say about my advanced silver-level curse. 'I can't kill people with a knife', that's all. The effect is that when I use any blunt weapon, I can ignore 80% of its weight. .It's a pretty useless spell for the Wizard's Path...
"But my Bronze rank curse is that if someone greets me within a ten-meter radius of me, I have to respond within ten seconds.
"And the effect is... within a radius of one kilometer, if someone says my name, I can vaguely see his specific location and his general appearance."
Hearing this sentence, Annan's eyes widened.
He realized something.
Could it be that he would find out if he called "Old Skeleton" in Frozen Water Harbor, not because Duke Bone was powerful, nor because he was in Frozen Water Harbor.
But because of the composition of this nightmare, is it related to Joseph's lost bearer?
Forty-five years ago, the context gradually became clear in Annan's mind.
Annan nodded slowly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Buckle. You provided very important information..."
Speaking of this, Annan suddenly remembered something.
"By the way," he asked hastily, "what exactly is that two-handed hammer-shaped curse you held back then?"
Annan wanted to know its specific attribute information.
In this way, whether Annan uses it himself or sells it to players, it must be very useful.
Joseph shrugged.
A bright, even childish smug smile appeared on his face.
"Looks scary, doesn't it?"
Mr. Joseph Buckle shrugged and stood up: "Wait a minute...I'll take it out."
He said and walked into the back room.
After about ten minutes, he pulled out a sledgehammer tightly wrapped in cotton. It was covered with dust, and even had a strange smell like old clothes that had not been dug out for more than ten years.
Joseph handed it to Annan.
What's more unfriendly is... This hammer is basically the same height as Annan.
Qi eyebrow sledgehammer.
Annan laid it down silently.
A list of attributes appeared in front of him:
【Broken Right Arm】
[Type: Weapon Tool (Light Blue)]
[Description: It can exert greater power in the face of objects with the "obstacle" attribute. 】
[Effect: When attacking objects such as "walls", "barricades", "shields", etc., you will get a temporary +10 strength bonus; its shockproof effect is "excellent" and will reduce a certain degree of recoil. 】
[Price: It can only be held by the right hand with one hand; if it is held by the left hand, it will be particularly prone to fractures when attacking. 】
The effect is strong and the cost is low.
A temporary strength bonus of 10 points is about twice the strength of an ordinary person.
Annan's own strength attribute is 10 points. If he holds this hammer, he doubles his strength when he hits the wall.
... what is this called?
Sledgehammer eighty?
"It's for you."
Joseph said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm just an ordinary baker now, and it's useless to hold it..."
Annan was silent for a while, then stood up and bowed like Joseph, thanking him.
After that, he whispered: "Actually, I prefer your collection of books..."
"What, a collection of books?"
Joseph heard the words, nodded again and again and got up again: "Yes, of course there is, I keep it, I can't throw it away. Lord, wait a minute, I'll go get it—"
Annan was a little dumbfounded. Big Brother! I really didn't mean that!
