The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 80: Step by step

   The so-called stealing, stabilizing, and reckless stealing.

   While remaining cautious all the time, Annan was able to initiate a powerful F2A at any time, and could initiate a change of house in a timely and decisive manner.

   Then it means invincible--

   "...what do you want to do?"

  The old Viscount looked gloomy, sitting on his seat and looking at Annan, his complexion was still very weak.

   He has just been awakened by Annan.

   He watched this **** stand in front of him with a smile and looked confident, so he didn't call Justin witty.

  Because Alvin is also a smart man.

  He can easily think that since Annan Rindong dared to knock him out by himself, and wake himself up when Justin was still in this room...

   This shows that he doesn't want to kill himself, but has something to help himself-otherwise he can completely kill himself who has no ability to resist after he passes out of a coma.

  -but it also means that he is not afraid to call for help.

  Old Alvin knew that Annan Rindong was only fourteen years old this year, and he was weak and sick since he was a child, and almost died several times.

   Because of this, Grand Duke Ivan gave him the name "Annan"-it is a neutral and feminine name. If pronounced in a winter accent, it should actually be pronounced "Anna".

   Its original meaning is "kindness"-so in the Principality of Winter, usually only such "weak names" are given to girls.

   But Ivan did not hope that Annan would become a benevolent person in the future.

  He just hopes that the old grandmother can show more kindness to this child, so that his fate will not be too bad, so that Annan can grow up safely and alive.

  Old Alvin still believes that with Annan's physical fitness, it is impossible for him to dare to fight such a strong hunter in the territory of an enemy country. He can't even run.

   After all, he is not a direct heir of the nobleman of his country, or even the supreme ruler of the enemy country.

  Once caught alive, it means a huge sum of money and a great feat in one step.

   No matter what he thinks, Annan cannot kill himself. But he would not dare to let himself call for help.

and so……

  What is his support?

   The old Viscount waited vigilantly for Annan’s answer, without saying a single extra word.

   "...you are quite smart."

  Annan chuckled: "But you better not try to ask for help, and don't expose my identity to others. It doesn't work whether you use words or writing, because you will forget what you want to say before you ask for help...

   "At the same time, you will die of heart numbness. For your age, it's really normal to die suddenly by accident."

   "...Heart palsy and forgetting secret words?"

   The old Viscount guessed with a gloomy face.

  Annan was a little surprised.

   He was taken aback, and showed a amiable and gentle smile: "It seems that you don't know the extraordinary world as rumored."

   "Oh, nature."

   The old Viscount didn't say much, just let out a low, cold snort.

   Annan’s words are indeed truthful.

   but there is only one difference——

   He did not score [not much] for the old Viscount, but [I'm not here] for him.

  In this case, after the players enter the house, they won't realize the existence of the Viscount-they are all genuine ordinary people, and they have no resistance to curses.

   This also means that Annan directly blocked the channel of identity leakage.

   But he did not directly kill the old Viscount.

  Because he wants to try, can he torture some secret information from him before the player enters the field.

  As Viscount Barbara, he should know a lot.

   "But I still can't figure out why you are attacking me."

   The old Viscount asked in a deep voice, and tentatively said to Annan: "We have something to say..."

   realizing that he will not die for the time being, he has regained his composure.

   The two people maintained the previous distance, still sitting in the previous seats, with the same expressions as before.

   But the atmosphere between them is completely different.

  Annan just sighed, with a sad expression on his face:

   "Whether you believe it or not. I'm just here to remind you."

   "Hehe. I have never seen such a reminder."

   The old Viscount smirked, and said in a weird manner: "Perhaps your father taught you similar special techniques?"

   "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. I'm just here to persuade you... to be more patient."

   Annan did not move, just smiled peacefully.

   He got up from his seat and slowly approached the old man. Such a move made Alvin a little nervous, and his mentality became subconsciously vigilant.

  Annan only gently said, "Although I am very young, I know a lot.

   "Didn't you ever fail because of that rash decision? If you waited patiently then... Isn't it that bad now?"

   Hearing this, the Viscount was taken aback, and for a moment he was in a daze.

   Patience...Yes, patience.

   He remembered.

   There is indeed such a thing...

"I also know that you have always been a very emotional person," Annan said softly, stopped and nodded slowly, "You are just...not good at expressing. Or, you don't bother to express with them. Because it makes no sense.

   "So people will misunderstand you and think you are a cold person. But I know you are not such a person."

   "...Oh, you understand again."

   The old Viscount whispered sarcastically, shrinking into the chair exhaustedly, muttering something that he didn't understand.

   After a while, he raised his head and looked at Annan again.

   "What do you want to know?"

   The old man opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice, "Just tell me, don't get too close."

   Although that's what I said.

   But the terrible expression on his face has become a lot looser.

  ——All this was expected by Annan.

   This is just a simple idiom...that is, cold reading.

   Those words that Annan said are equally valid even for other people. That is, all the Barnum effect-when people use vague adjectives to describe a person, the person being described tends to easily accept these descriptions and think that what is said in the description is themselves.

   And Annan first knocked the Viscount unconscious with lazy eyes, and then boldly let him wake up in a safe place. In this way, the Viscount will be suspicious of his current security situation and no longer trust that "I am still in a safe zone."

  On this basis, Annan restrained the Viscount's behavior with a curse, giving him death pressure. Under this circumstance, he and Annan formed a de facto coercive relationship.

  Annan holds the key to his life and death, and he cannot resist Annan.

   But Annan did not bully him, nor did he rudely persecute him.

   Instead, he used cold reading in a friendly manner to get closer to him... With such a push and pull, the Viscount's vigilance towards Annan would be disintegrated.

On the one hand, he believes that "I have no resistance in front of him", and at the same time that "maybe this child can understand me", and still believes that Annan is a "young man" and holds a sense of psychological superiority to Annan in terms of age. .

At the same time ~www.readwn.com~ Judging from the details of the Viscount’s reaction, Annan can also temporarily presume that the old Alvin should be a person who does not want to believe in others, is more inclined to believe in his own experience and conclusions, and thinks too cautiously and suspiciously. .

   Based on his basic personality, Annan looked into the eyes of the old Viscount and continued to ask in a gentle voice.

   "I just asked casually, don't care too much..."

  ——My sentence is very important, you must think carefully before answering.

   "Of course, even if I don't get an answer that satisfies me, I will not persecute you. There are other places where we can cooperate."

  ——You are really useful to me. But your answer best satisfies me.

  Annan paused, convinced that the old Viscount had digested his suggestion, and then asked in a low voice and gently:

   "If you were to choose between the Three Princes and the Grand Duke of Winter...Who would you choose?

   "——And why did you choose this way? Please answer quickly, we may not have much time to talk."

   Annan asked slowly, and at the same time gently patted the blood-stained kitchen knife on the table, revealing a bright and gentle smile: "You understand."

   There is no doubt that this is a forced question.

   But it is different from old Alvin's understanding.

  Annan doesn't care about the answer to the first answer at all. It is just a cover for distraction and vigilance.

   What he really wants to ask is this [why]!

   Let the old Viscount answer subconsciously without being vigilant... a correct answer from the heart.

   Alvin was in a daze, feeling that Annan’s ice-blue pupils were as gentle as water, without any malice...

   But it feels like a god.

  -high above, without any emotion.
