The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 146: The Venerated Skeleton's Piercing Rifling

Chapter 146: The Venerated Skeleton’s Piercing Rifling

I want that time!

—I f.u.c.king want it!

The above was the first reaction of Delicious Wind Goose after seeing the attribute window of this item.

It was also the reaction of the players who were watching the live broadcast on the forum,

“—f.u.c.k, can high-level equipment actually involve time?”

“—So f.u.c.king cool!”

“—Calm down, everyone. This should be a plot item. It is impossible for us to get this intensely strong item outside the dungeon instance.”

“—Wait a minute, look at the price!”

“—Let me ask you, would you throw it away because of the high price!?”

“—No way!”

“—It’s too OP!”

After all, the players had not yet entered the path of transcendence.

They did not realize the seriousness of the curse.

Only Annan was clearly aware of the price after reading it.

—This curse vessel was probably a lure.

The gramophone time reversal, in most cases, did not help people resolve their regrets.

At most, it could only get rid of the people who made the user regret.

This might be the last spell Master Michelangelo used in “Nightmare: White Tower” for the abrupt instant kill.

Then, this gramophone shouldn’t be left for his use.

Because the item did not amplify his ability but merely a simplified version of its ability. Its purpose is to make others unable to resist the temptation of “second chance” and choose to use it.

Just like those players.

Once used, the person would be cursed.

Judging from the name, it seemingly absorbed luck. The cost of the second time usage wasn’t clear. If it were used for the third time, all the remaining lifespan would be absorbed.

If Time Stopper Eye made many such a gramophone, then he should not lack lifespan at all.

There was another question — Elle.

How did she know all this?

Annan and the players knew it was because they could see the attribute panel.

But Annan had already tested it from Salvatore. The aboriginals of this world couldn’t know all the properties of the curse vessel.

They could only know the approximate level of power and curse through some strange means. That was why curse vessels became hazardous items and were forbidden to be trafficked and used among civilians. Once discovered, the church or large organization would seal the curse vessel.

Elle wasn’t a senior Transcended…

Worse still, she was just a sixteen-year-old civilian, not even a n.o.bleman nor a priest. Her biological parents were indeed Transcended, but she was still very young when she left them.

It was impossible for her to know the properties of this curse vessel.

Based on Annan’s judgment of Elle’s character, she couldn’t be so rude to Amos.

Rather than saying that it was Elle, it was better to say…

…It might be the Venerated Skeleton?

Thinking of this, Annan shuddered. His whole body stiffened, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

It was like something perilous eyeing on him…

It was like realizing a snake getting into your quilt for being half asleep and half awake.

If it weren’t for Annan’s loss of fear emotion, he would be so scared to the point of screaming out loud.

But soon, the feeling of being stared at gradually dissipated.

Annan didn’t bother checking his body but immediately tuned back to the live broadcast as soon as possible. Fortunately, he didn’t miss anything.

With Delicious Wind Goose stopped the “Time Stopper Eye’s Gramophone” completely, the violin “background music” in the air finally disappeared.

But behind Delicious Wind Goose was still a sealed stone path.

The T-shaped corridor in front of him was divided into two ends, with two exits and two display cabinets that mirrored each other.

On the display cabinet on the left, there was a silver revolver with many runes engraved on it!

On the right side, there was a police rifle held by the “demon” just now.

Delicious Wind Goose chose the left without hesitation.

This was a man’s instinct.

Because compared with a petty rifle, the revolver was much cooler.

This time he encountered no obstacles. He took the revolver from the display cabinet. It was tightly fitted with his palm as if this was originally Amos’ gun.

Delicious WInd Goose rubbed the gun on his hand and looked at it with a smile.

“…White Ivory Pistol? Or Casull [1]? Wow, this revolver is so cool.”

Upon seeing the gun, Delicious Wind Goose immediately stopped panicking.

Although he had only 3% of Health, he was immediately overflowed with confidence.

“As long as I have a gun, no monsters will be a problem.”

Delicious Wind Goose’s words came to an abrupt end.

After he revealed the magazine, he found that there was one last bullet inside.

—Yes, it was the last shot.

“Is the last bullet left for me?”

Delicious Wind Goose’s face went bitter for an instant, “I’m not lucky, my brothers. Can you send me back out from the dungeon?”

Despite Old Goose saying so, he didn’t even think of putting the revolver back.

Delicious Wind Goose looked back again.

He saw that the man with the sledgehammer stood silently in the middle of the corridor.

“—Omg, he’s here.”

“—The last bullet is dedicated to you.”

“—Brothers, I’m going to Jiu Er’s stream.”

“—Waiting for this streamer to lose his memory.”

(TN: Dungeon challenger loses memory after death)

The sudden emergence of the monster after turning back shocked all the players and made them laugh.

No one thought that Old Goose could survive…

Delicious Wind Goose was about to shoot, but he entered the CG cutscene immediately,

“…Buckel.”

Amos murmured in a low volume, raising his pistol to Buckel. His tone was indifferent and no longer overwhelmed by fear like how it was in the third level encounter, “Do you have to pursue me to the end?

“This gun is engraved with [Venerated Skeleton’s Piercing Rifling]. You should have heard it. There are three turbid blood bullets in it. Whether you are Transcended or not, you will still die when I shoot.”

Hearing this, Buckel’s pupils shrank slightly.

He was silent for a while and asked cautiously, “Where did you get it?”

“Don’t ask.”

Amos sneered, “I sincerely ask you. Can you leave? I don’t want us all to die at this place.”

Annan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

That’s not right.

Why is Amos’s att.i.tude so different from that in the bas.e.m.e.nt?

How did he know Buckel at this timeline?

At this moment, Annan saw a bullet text that no one noticed:

“—Why does this Buckel look like our baker?”

Seeing this, Annan was suddenly startled.

He quickly recalled…

The baker claimed to have come from the capital and never left the Freezing Water Port. He seemed to be from the Freezing Water Port 45 years ago…

“We can negotiate first.” There was silence for a while. Buckel spread his right hand, “[We must tell the truth here]. I want to know what curse you have added to the turbid blood bullets.”

“This is made by a corpse I bought at a high price. The curse is “Can’t travel far.” As long as you get hit once, you will stay in the Freezing Water Port for the rest of your life. Would you like that to happen?”

Amos spoke slowly, frowning, “You should be able to see that I’m telling the truth.”

“Yes, I can see that.”

Buckel was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Immediately, he did not hesitate and took a step forward.

There came the hammer!

Amos also fired the bullet immediately. The bullet came and penetrated Buckel’s heart!

But Buckel’s hammer managed to hit Amos’s head.

The inertia alone was enough to knock Amos’ head into the air.

At that moment, Amos’s head flew out like a golf ball and hit the wall heavily.

The spectators vaguely saw the ridicule at the corner of Buckel’s mouth and the deep hatred engraved deep within.
