Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 303 The Old Corpse of Three Springs
After the siblings landed the plane.

I booked a hotel with pretty good online reviews using my phone at the last minute.

On the way to the hotel by taxi, I looked at the bustling traffic of the unfamiliar city.

Wu Xiaoyou's emotions were much more stable than when she was on the plane, and she no longer had that visibly impatient excitement.

She yawned, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes as she looked at Wu Wang's handsome face.

He spoke softly:

"Brother, if for some reason you had to do something that others might consider wrong, what would you do if they found out?"

Just before boarding the plane.

Wu Xiaoyou remembered that she actually had a mission to clean up the blacklist.

However, Wu Wang's suggestion to travel to the capital made her so excited that she momentarily forgot about the task she had taken on.

What method should we use to cancel this commission now?
There were also underground liaison offices for "postmen" in the capital.

I estimate I'll have to make time to go there.

Cancel this task and let someone else handle it.

It was precisely because of her identity as the "other shore flower" that she thought about it.

Wu Xiaoyou suddenly felt a little melancholy.

What if my younger brother finds out in the future that I'm committing murder?

Although those killed were the most heinous villains, killing is still an unacceptable and bloody act.

What will he think? Will he be able to face his younger brother's questions?

However, faced with her second sister's melancholy and questions...

Wu Wang, who was chewing bubble gum, responded calmly:

"Anyone who can directly point out my faults will have their entire family executed; anyone who submits a written remonstrance to me will have their entire family exterminated; anyone who can slander and criticize me in the marketplace and whose words reach my ears will be executed and their head displayed at the East Gate as a warning to the world."

Wu Xiaoyou: "..."

After a brief silence.

Then, with a wry smile, he said, "A person like you would definitely be a notorious tyrant in ancient times."

Wu Wang continued to look out the window at the scenery.

Without turning his head, he said, "No, I will be a wise ruler."

"Because I have a reasonable second sister who would stop me from doing these things, and I would listen to her."

"So, second sister, you must hold onto my reason and not let go."

"I'm afraid that one day it will fly away like a hydrogen balloon."

Wu Wang didn't know what he was worried about.

Perhaps he couldn't imagine how crazy he would become if he failed to protect his second sister.

The other person is the spiritual anchor that keeps me connected to the world.

She was the rope holding the helium balloon.

Upon hearing Wu Wang's reply, the melancholy in Wu Xiaoyou's eyes returned to its usual gentleness.

Yes, my brother will understand.

Because he will believe me.

The second sister leaned her head on Wu Wang's shoulder and whispered, "Yes, I won't let you down, I will never let go."

"Ha~ wake me up when we get to the hotel, I'm so sleepy."

After saying that, Wu Xiaoyou yawned and closed her eyes, falling into a deep sleep.

A slight smile played on her lips, clearly indicating that she was no longer bothered by certain troubles.

Neither of them realized it.

They were talking about completely different topics.

But this is not important.

The important thing is that they are each other's most important family members.

I will never abandon the other person.

"Ha~"

Perhaps it's because yawning is contagious.

The second sister had yawned several times along the way, and now even Wu Wang couldn't help but yawn once as well.

After smacking his lips, he took out his phone and started browsing through the information.

This is about some travel tips for Beijing.

Since I finally managed to get out with my second sister, we should at least have a good time first.

There was no more conversation inside the car.

All that remained was the faint hum of the engine and the hustle and bustle of people coming and going outside.

The driver also yawned slightly.

I rubbed my eyes and followed the navigation to continue driving towards the hotel.

The whole process took a little over an hour.

When the siblings arrived at a luxury hotel called "Sanchun".

Looking at the hotel lobby, which was understated yet luxurious.

My second sister felt a little less sleepy after waking up.

Some people excitedly pulled Wu Wang to register his housing information.

The waiter took the two people's luggage.

They were led to room 404.

The room they booked was not the typical hotel room with only a bed.

On the contrary, the two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment type is more like a home.

Therefore, two rooms are not necessary.

Of course, the expenses were also considerable.

He just stared at the familiar numbers in his hand.

Wu Wang couldn't help but feel his right eyelid twitching slightly.

It brings back some wonderful memories from my recent experiences.

"Number 404... Dude, can you smell the sourness on yourself?"

The waiter who was arranging the suitcases looked puzzled.

He turned back and asked uncertainly, "Are you talking to me, sir?"

"Do I have some strange smell on me?"

Wu Wang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Just kidding, but you really should change your shampoo; it probably expired not long ago."

Under the waiter's strange gaze.

The second sister quickly tried to cover for him, saying, "No...it's nothing. He just has a cold and his nose isn't feeling well lately. He keeps thinking he smells strange odors. You go ahead and do your thing. We'll put our luggage away ourselves."

After the waiter left the room.

She then looked at Wu Wang and sighed:
"Does he have to go crazy as soon as he arrives in the capital?"

While packing his luggage, Wu Wang replied helplessly, "I didn't lie. Shampoo tends to separate, settle, change color, and develop an irritating smell if left for too long. The shampoo he's using probably smells the same brand as ours, it's just expired. It wasn't expired for long, so the smell isn't obvious. None of you, including him, noticed."

At this point, he suddenly stopped taking out his luggage.

He touched his chin and frowned.

He started muttering rapidly, "That's not right. Shampoo usually has a shelf life of two to three years. He works in the service industry of high-end hotels, which in a sense represents the image of the hotel. He must take good care of his appearance. Washing his hair every day is normal for him. How could he have bought a bottle of shampoo and not finished it in three years?"

"Did you buy futures contracts? Are you a temporary worker? Are you rarely home?"

"Upon closer reflection, besides the smell of expired shampoo, it seems to have other irritating odors mixed in as well."

"It smells more like... a faint stench of death?"

Perhaps it's a professional habit formed after becoming a gamer.

Wu Wang subconsciously began brainstorming.

Snapped--

His second sister came up and patted his forehead.

She rolled her eyes and said, "That's enough. We're out here to have fun. Do you think you're still at home doing some weird experiments? Don't suddenly go and smell someone else's shampoo! Are you a pervert?"

Upon hearing his second sister's words, Wu Wang also stopped his brainstorming.

He shrugged helplessly and said:
"Gradual change".

Why was Wu Xiaoyou's attention focused on Wu Wang's behavior of smelling the shampoo?

But is it not surprising that he could smell expired shampoo?

Because she had actually seen it with her own eyes—

This guy samples a large number of everyday items and then deliberately stores them until they expire.

The purpose is to study the changes they produce.

And experimental research on some molds.

If necessary, they might even eat expired food to personally experience how the body would react.

"Let's officially go out and have fun tomorrow. I'm still a bit sleepy, so I'll take a shower and go to bed first. You should get some rest too."

After taking a change of clothes out of her suitcase, Wu Xiaoyou headed towards the bathroom.

Wu Wang then put his luggage into one of the bedrooms.

I was lying in bed, lost in thought.

After all, they made the decision to come over at the last minute.

It was already quite late when we arrived in Beijing and transferred to the hotel.

After a long journey, it's definitely okay to get some rest.

But ever since he entered the hotel, he felt that something was wrong.

But there's no way to accurately detect it.

"No one in real life knows my identity, so no player would deliberately come looking for trouble with me."

"Am I overthinking it? Or am I being too nervous about taking my second sister out after learning about the gaming community?"

"It's ridiculous that the waiter smelled like a corpse. It should just smell like expired shampoo. He must have been too stressed and smelled it wrong."

It's uncertain whether Wu died.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't come up with a definite answer.

In the end, we had to let it go.

After my second sister finished her bath, she went back to another room to rest.

After hearing her steady and regular breathing, confirming that she was asleep,

Feeling slightly sleepy, Wu Wang quietly slipped the fruit knife from the living room into his room.

Of course he wouldn't sleep.

But after all, she had promised her second sister that she wouldn't commit suicide again.

If you want to refresh your status by committing suicide, you should avoid the other person.

He took off his shirt and skillfully stabbed himself in the heart.

The pain of experiencing the moment of death stimulates the central nervous system, followed by an instant recovery of the body, muscles, and even mental state to their optimal state.

"Ha~"

"Let's think about where to go first tomorrow..."

"Wait! That's the problem!" That is, the moment I subconsciously opened my mouth.

He suddenly realized exactly where the problem lay!

"Why?! Why am I still yawning and feeling sleepy?!"

Wu Wang immediately became alert.

He exploited a bug by relying on suicide to refresh his physical status.

I haven't slept for more than five years.

There has never been a case where someone attempted suicide due to exhaustion and then experienced drowsiness again after recovering.

Speaking of which, my second sister actually slept for more than an hour in the taxi.

I shouldn't be sleepy so soon after arriving at the hotel!

As a physical form of the "Yin Body".

My second sister's physical condition is even better than it was before she became a player.

It's impossible that she would be this exhausted just from traveling.

That leaves only one possibility—

"This drowsiness is caused by some external factor and is not a normal physiological reaction."

Realizing the problem, Wu Wang suddenly stood up.

I want to go to my second sister's room and wake her up.

Take advantage of the current time frame when you can still book other hotels.

He wanted to get his second sister away from this awful place as soon as possible!

After all, he had already brainstormed, and no player was going to come looking for trouble.

The only person most likely to come looking for them is that woman from the Pluto Research Institute.

However, the other party clearly had no intention of complying with the "crying face monster's" request to find "immortality" in reality.

Otherwise, she would have captured him long ago.

After all, she was a woman who could predict, just like the fortune teller, that she would enter the [Smiling Sanctuary] instance, and even left behind a [Clown Headdress] there.

It probably wouldn't be too difficult for her to establish a place in reality.

In other words, she and her second sister had simply stumbled upon a scene set up by a player for a certain purpose.

It's just pure bad luck.

Wu Wang never considered his luck to be anything special.

After all, he was the kind of guy who never won against anyone, whether it was dice or Texas Hold'em, just by luck.

Of course, it was also because of this incident.

Wu Wang learned how to cheat.

As for what this accidental intrusion is trying to achieve, what impact it will have on ordinary people around it, and what threat it poses to the order of the capital...

Wu Wangcai didn't care about these trivial matters.

This is the headquarters of the two most powerful organizations in China!
The headquarters of the Bureau of Extraordinary Events and the Tarot Society are both located in the capital.

The problems caused by players will naturally be handled by the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

Why should I worry about it?

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

He just wanted to take his second sister to a different hotel.

Is it really that hard for me to just travel peacefully?

You damned God, are you just asking for trouble?
But as soon as I stood up, my legs went weak.

What was originally just yawning and drowsiness was instantly magnified infinitely.

My whole state was like when I was sleepy in junior and senior high school. Even though I knew I shouldn't sleep, I still couldn't help but nod and doze off in my seat like a chicken pecking at rice.

Wu Wang felt that his current clarity of mind was like that of a lone boat on a stormy sea.

An endless wave of drowsiness washed over me.

His remaining lucidity fluctuated wildly, and it was as if it could be overturned at any moment.

"Damn it... don't let me find out which bastard is causing trouble..."

"Abyss God! You better give me some response..."

"Where are my teammates? Where are my teammates... Help me..."

The grumbling grew fainter and fainter.

Finally, he collapsed onto the soft bed and closed his eyes completely.

call--

Wu Wang's breathing became steady and regular.

If nothing unexpected happens.

This should be the first time in more than five years that he has fallen into a deep sleep.

I just didn't expect to fall asleep in such an abstract way.

He was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

If it's deliberate hostility directed at me.

Perhaps the clues had already been noticed.

Because of his countless brushes with death, Wu Wang's intuition for danger far surpasses that of ordinary people.

But this accident had absolutely nothing to do with him.

It's just that the effect range of a certain item or skill happens to include the [Sanchun] Hotel.

Let alone a sense of danger.

Even if it were Zhuge Yue's incredible skill back then—【Peter's Grip】—that could sense all malicious attacks.

There was no way to escape this inexplicable drowsiness.

After all, the other party had no idea that he existed!
There was absolutely no malicious intent involved!

The large room fell into a deathly silence.

The silence was almost unsettling.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

I don't know how long I slept.

Wu Wang woke up groggily, rubbing his head.

I had the same hangover-like physical reaction I had when I first entered the [Smiling Sanctuary] instance and inherited Rashomon's physical condition.

However, even in this state.

He also sensed something was wrong immediately.

It stinks! It stinks terribly!

Now Wu Wang was 100% certain that there was definitely a strong stench of corpses emanating from somewhere!

I endured the headache and physical discomfort caused by the stench of the corpse after sleeping for so long.

Wu Wang began to observe the surrounding situation.

It was so dark that you could hardly see your hand in front of your face.

Only the moonlight streaming in through the window barely added a little visibility.

"The lights were turned off. If it's not a power outage, then someone has been in my room."

"The suitcase was a bit more messy, and the clothes inside were torn, as if they had been poked by something sharp. The other person was looking for something."

"The position I was in when I woke up was exactly the same as the position I was in before I fell asleep, which proves that the other person did not touch my body... That makes sense, since I had just taken off my clothes and was naked from the waist up, which doesn't look like I could hide anything on my body."

"This shows that the other party only sees me as an ordinary person and does not consider me from the perspective of a player."

After these things became clear in my mind in an instant.

Wu Wang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In that case, nothing unexpected should happen to my second sister.

After all, in the other party's eyes, the second sister should also be an ordinary person.

But the fact that he didn't search himself doesn't mean he didn't search his second sister.

This was an accident before Lao Tzu fell asleep.

But if you touch my second sister's body, even if it's just a routine body search...

I'm sorry.

This is no longer an accident; it's a personal grudge.

Whichever hand touched it, that hand will be chopped off by me tonight!
Wu Wang reached for the fruit knife beside the bed.

As usual, I aimed at my heart.

The headache caused by sleeping too long vanished instantly.

The lights were not turned on immediately after the situation was restored.

After all, the specific situation of the hotel is still uncertain.

If all the lights in all the rooms are turned off.

If your side suddenly lights up, it increases the risk of being discovered.

No one can guarantee that the guy has already left the hotel.

Perhaps it's because my mental strength far surpasses that of normal players, allowing me to wake up faster than others.

Perhaps the mastermind is still lurking inside the hotel.

So he just quietly turned on his phone.

With the help of the faint screen light and the moonlight, we can make a more detailed observation of the room.

It didn't take long to discover the source of the stench.

"There are many bloody footprints on the ground, but the blood is too viscous and smells bad. It feels like the blood inside a corpse that is slowly congealing. Did this guy kill someone and then enter the room with blood on his feet?"

"Wait a minute... the footprints are in the wrong place too."

"How can someone walk with their feet side by side instead of one in front of the other?"

"The spacing between each row of footprints was almost the same, and the bloodstains were heavier at the front and lighter at the back, which did not look like normal walking at all."

To be honest, it's quite remarkable that they were able to analyze the clues to this extent in such a short time.

Even most advanced players can't do that.

Only someone like Wu Wang, whose understanding of the human body is comparable to that of a forensic scientist, could discover these subtle clues.

In particular, the intensity of bloodstains can be used to determine the other party's behavior.

But the more you analyze it...

Wu Wang's expression became increasingly strange.

"This trajectory of action is more like..."

"Is he hopping along?"

Furthermore, judging from the extent of the damage to the suitcase and clothes, it looks more like they were accidentally struck by five sharp objects side by side.

Suddenly, a certain image flashed into my mind—

In the pitch-black room, a humanoid creature hopped forward with its legs together, its feet resting on congealed blood that was likely found inside a corpse. It would occasionally bend down and reach out to search for something, but because its hands were not very dexterous and its nails were too long, hard, and sharp, it would sometimes tear its clothes.

"Holy crap! Isn't this a zombie?"

Wu Wang couldn't help but curse, "This is unbelievable! Am I not staying at a hotel in the capital?"

"Where did this Three Springs Old Corpse come from?!"
