Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 314 The Invisible Man Under the Spotlight

Let's go back to five minutes before the announcement of the public beta test.

Wu Wang said he wanted to go directly to Ethan.

Although the wine connoisseur felt that a few minutes wouldn't make a difference, he thought it would be better to listen to the announcement first before going.

But Wu Wang insisted that announcements could be heard anywhere anyway.

He's taking advantage of Ethan still wandering the streets.

Find a way to contact him beforehand.

In response, the wine connoisseur offered a helpful tool—

[Dimensional Barrier Monitoring]

This item was specially prepared by the Bureau of Extraordinary Events to deal with possible emergencies in various areas of the capital.

Logically, Wu Wang, being an outsider, should not be able to use it.

But the Taoist priest took pity on him because of his friendship with the Xie Zhi.

And from the perspective of wanting to continue observing Wu Wang's style of doing things.

He was granted special permission to use the [Dimensional Wall Monitoring] to rush to the vicinity of Ethan's location.

The convenience of this tool lies in—

Wherever there is an electronic device display.

All can be accessed quickly directly through the screen of an electronic device.

Just like the literal meaning of prop, it can break down the dimensional barrier and directly enter the scene.

This is why Wu Wang was able to arrive at the business district in such a short time.

[Dimensional Barrier Monitoring] definitely has many limitations.

Otherwise, the power of this item would break the game balance.

Putting aside other factors, there are definitely limitations in terms of coverage, frequency, and duration of use.

However, Wu Wang could not know the specific details accurately.

After all, he was just a specially approved user.

The panel unlocked by [Vision of Truth] only displays—

[Dimensional Barrier Monitoring (Legend) (Sub-body): Can utilize some of the original body's functions]

This proves that this thing definitely has a parent body.

Its functionality is certainly not limited to simply allowing for quick location relocation.

Of course, even if Wu were to perish, the exact effect would only be visible on the mother.

It's no wonder they're called the "Bureau of Extraordinary Events".

As an official organization.

They do have a solid foundation in terms of [Legendary] level items.

Wu Wang and Wu Xiaoyou climbed out through surveillance cameras in a deserted corner on the outskirts of the business district.

He immediately asked the Xie Zhi to help him investigate the distribution of shops in this business district.

They then decide where they will meet based on their own judgment.

"This guy has already had a late-night snack, so there's no need to consider food shops."

"Secondly, his suit may look ordinary, but it is actually a high-end luxury item made in Italy. Naturally, he wouldn't just casually browse clothing stores in shopping districts. The same goes for his shoes. The price of this guy's entire outfit is probably more expensive than an ordinary person's life."

Wu Wang explained to Wu Xiaoyou in the car:

"If he wants to continue shopping in the area, he can only go to a very few places at most—bookstores, entertainment venues, or luxury stores."

"Because the recent business district is positioned as a high-end business district, mainly consisting of luxury stores, membership clubs and luxury car showrooms."

"According to the bartender, he has been appearing in public places recently, which rules out places like members-only clubs."

"So, I was finally able to pinpoint that he would be going to a certain luxury store."

"Among them, this jewelry store has some of the highest brand and value in the vicinity."

"Now you understand how I located this place, right?"

"While there is an element of luck involved, it is still mainly based on character analysis."

There's definitely an element of luck involved.

After all, no one can guarantee that the other party won't suddenly decide to check out other gold and silver jewelry stores.

But we were able to narrow the scope down to this extent.

Wu Xiaoyou's mouth dropped open in shock.

"These... these are all things you came up with after just one glance at the surveillance footage?"

Wu Wang was still squinting as he pondered.

He casually replied, "Pretty much, since we're all very familiar with things in real life."

"This is much easier to guess than some of the illogical supernatural phenomena and death patterns in the dungeon."

"Driver, turn left at the intersection ahead and go straight for 500 meters before stopping."

Wu Xiaoyou felt somewhat helpless about this.

This level of analysis is only easy for you to guess!
Putting everything else aside, just wanting to see the value of Ethan's suit and shoes at a glance.

That's something that ordinary people probably can't do.

After all, for most people, these are areas they have never been exposed to.

A working person who struggles to make a living every day is unlikely to pay attention to brands of Italian bespoke suits.

Only someone like Wu Wang, whose mind is as vast as an encyclopedia, possesses such knowledge.

Only then can we analyze problems from various angles.

"Aren't we going back to the post office to find them now?" Wu Xiaoyou asked, frowning.

Previously, when crossing the [dimensional wall surveillance].

Because the Xie Zhi's current attire is too eye-catching.

Furthermore, after the announcement of the public beta test, the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs will definitely hold many emergency meetings to discuss follow-up solutions.

So he didn't come along.

They simply stayed at the post office and waited for the announcement from the wine connoisseur.

Now that it's clear there's a problem with the Xie Zhi, they've completely forgotten about Ethan's unusual behavior.

Why not go back and find the root cause of the problem?
After hanging up the phone inside the jewelry store.

After dealing with the aftermath of the knocked-out jewelry store owner, Wu Wang immediately took a taxi to a place with a strange name.

And it is clearly not a contact point for the post office.

Wu Wang had been thinking the whole way, so Wu Xiaoyou didn't want to disturb him.

We're almost at our destination.

Naturally, she had to ask about the things she was curious about.

"Hey there, young man, scan the code here."

After the two paid the fare and got out of the car.

The environment before her made Wu Xiaoyou feel somewhat uncomfortable.

This place is clearly the residence of a high-end mansion.

At first glance, it feels just as good as the villa complexes like Zhou Junting, Gong, and Jiantang in Shanghai.

It felt surreal, as if the villa scenery she had admired while surfing the internet had suddenly appeared in reality.

"Because Ethan's influence on the Xie Zhi was too bizarre, even ignoring spatial limitations."

"I'm worried that there might be problems using communication devices like telephones."

"So I asked in the car using the friends list of the game 'Spirit Disaster'."

Standing at the main entrance of the villa area.

With a frown, Wu Wang counted on his fingers and said:

"According to Xie Zhi, he not only thinks Ethan is an ordinary person, but the Wine Daoist also thinks so. Even the information about Ethan in the database is limited to the category of ordinary people. The information we saw before has disappeared without a trace."

"If the other party's capabilities even allow them to hack into and tamper with official databases like the Bureau of Extraordinary Events."

"Then there's no point in us going back now."

Hearing this description.

Wu Xiaoyou immediately felt a chill run down her spine.

It felt like I was being watched by some kind of evil spirit, a chill ran down my spine and goosebumps rose on my skin.

So weird...

She couldn't help but ask, "Is this Calamity player named Ethan really that strong?"

To be honest, I only learned about the existence of the Spirit Disaster game and its players tonight.

We were about to face something so bizarre and terrifying.

Wu Xiaoyou's ability to remain calm is already quite remarkable.

Wu Wang shook his head in denial.

"No, the concept of strength is relative. I don't think Ethan is very strong in combat."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't need to resort to these underhanded tactics."

"He must be a weirdo."

When the word "mechanism" is mentioned.

He paused abruptly.

I suddenly remembered the time I played rock-paper-scissors with Zhuge Yue.

After losing fifty games in a row, the opponent muttered that he suspected he had some kind of rule-based item.

"Rules... Ethan possesses some kind of rule-based artifact!"

In an instant, all the previous doubts became clear.

Both my second sister and I were misled by our ingrained way of thinking!

The current situation is not that the understanding of Xie Zhi and the Daoist of Wine has been corrupted.

It wasn't that the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs' database was hacked by some means.

Rather, it was that Ethan's presence as a player was erased from the rules!

This is not some kind of attack on the enemy's mind or consciousness.

It should be a change in the existing rules.

"No wonder Zhuge Yue would curse the rule-based props."

"This thing is really unreasonable!"

After realizing this, Wu Wang did not feel relieved at all.

Instead, it caused even more headaches.

He had previously inquired about the basics of rule-based items on the Lingzai APP.

This thing is even rarer than legendary items.

Because the impact they cause cannot be stopped.

At least at this stage, no one has found any way to restrict rule-based items.

Theoretically, there are only two ways to deal with this—

Either escape the area affected by the other party's rules;

Alternatively, you can use the rules of another rule-based item to override it.

It's worth mentioning that someone has actually tried this latter approach.

It was an anonymous post.

The above clearly explains that even two rule-based items with directly opposing abilities cannot cancel each other out.

It can only be a cover.

It means that it's about first come, first served.

The rule that is invoked later will override the previous rule.

If the former is activated again, it will overwrite it again.

Start later but arrive first!
"Damn, it feels like I'm playing Yu-Gi-Oh!, having to rely on a second-turn chain of quick-attack spells to interrupt the opponent's previous move." Wu Wang scratched his head.

It's unlikely that they can escape the influence of the rules.

If my judgment is correct, Ethan's rule-based item range is quite unique.

The rules are not formulated for a specific area.

Rather, it forms rules specifically for him as a human individual.

Under certain conditions, one of his conditions will be erased from reality.

But I don't have any rule-related items on me right now!

There's no way to cover Ethan's rules with the second approach.

"The only thing we know right now is that Ethan's rule-following conditions are related to [public attention]."

"Other conditions and specific rules are still unclear."

Otherwise, Ethan wouldn't have made such a big fuss in the business district.

Wu Wang suddenly felt that the other party was in a very absurd state.

Standing under the spotlight.

But he was invisible.

"Speaking of which, what are you doing here?" the second sister asked after she came to her senses.

Since we're not going to the post office...

Why come to this high-end villa area?
Could it be that this kid knows some rich woman in Beijing?
Does the other side have a way to deal with Ethan?

Wu Wang shook his head.

Let's temporarily stop thinking about Ethan's problem and save it in our mental palace.

Looking inside the villa area.

A petite figure walked over from not far away.

He grinned and said, "I have to deal with my own problems first."

"Second sister, you wouldn't want to see your little brother dancing naked in the street, would you?"

Following his gaze, I saw the little white-haired girl waving to the security guards at the villa complex to open the gate.

Wu Xiaoyou's expression became increasingly strange.

Then he patted Wu Wang on the shoulder.

She said earnestly, "Brother, compared to something as trivial as you dancing naked in the street, I'm more worried about you for at least ten years."

"While a person's sexual desires are a matter of personal freedom, they cannot... at least not legally..."

After understanding my second sister's teasing and complaints.

Wu Wang, who was walking towards the little girl with a smile, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Pointing at the other person's face, he said, "This girl is legal, does Tianshan Tonglao know that?"

The place the siblings have now arrived at is naturally Wu Wang's original destination for this trip to the capital—

[Xiaoxiao's] home!
At this moment, Xiaoxiao also came to the two of them.

He was just about to greet him with "Brother Yan".

He was immediately silenced by the word "legal" he had just heard.

She remembered what kind of personality this big shot had.

The memories of the deceased magenta Decade rider at the masquerade ball began to attack her brain.

"Um, Boss Yan, you seem to be saying something rather impolite," Xiao Xiao said through gritted teeth, barely suppressing the urge to punch him.

Given her petite height, barely reaching Wu Wang's chest.

Even when she's gritting her teeth, it looks somewhat like she's trying to be cute.

But after all, it was Xiaoxiao who needed someone's help.

She couldn't very well start complaining on the spot.

Speaking of which, why did Boss Yan bring people with him this time?

Is this ordinary-looking woman also a player?

How come I've never heard of this before?

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to stand at the door in the northwest wind?" Wu Wangchao gestured towards the villa area with his chin. "Aren't you going to invite me in for a look around?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao immediately said apologetically:
"Sorry, sorry, I brought you..."

Before she could finish speaking...

Wu Wang then strode inside.

He was muttering to himself, "If you didn't invite me, I'll just visit on my own. I'm just letting you know, not asking you anything."

Hard!

The fist is hard!

Damn it, how can this crazy, eccentric guy be so annoying?!

Watching Yan Shuangying walk inside on her own.

The hooded woman next to him followed.

Although this was one of the few times I had offline contact with other players.

But Xiaoxiao wasn't worried that the other party would harm her.

To put it bluntly—what is there about him that would make Yan Shuangying want to harm him?
If the other party really wants to hurt you.

Just ignore yourself for a few months.

Just wait for the curse of the "Childhood Lock" to take effect.

Therefore, Xiaoxiao relaxed and decided to get along well with the other party.

He stepped forward and began to lead the way.

He turned to Wu Xiaoyou and asked, "Hello, young lady."

"My name is [Xiaoxiao], level 20. May I ask your ID...?"

Before she could even finish greeting Wu Xiaoyou...

Wu Wang, who was standing next to him, suddenly stopped.

His expression became unusually strange.

After making a few muffled noises with her mouth closed, she raised her hand and made an extremely exaggerated gesture to form a circle.

Then, as if performing a mime act, he made a gesture of struggling to carry it.

Coupled with the subtle changes in his facial expressions.

People watching him might have thought he was actually holding something in his hands.

"Brother Yan...can we go back inside and stop acting crazy?"

"Although there are few residents in this villa area, it doesn't mean that no one lives there at all!"

"Please don't do this, I'm so scared."

"I still want to continue being a person in this society."

Xiao Xiao felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

She finally managed to get a legal identity for her current loli-like appearance.

And it also made the neighbors aware of and accept this identity.

It's important to know that the people living in this villa area are generally considered prominent figures in society.

Don't let them mistake you for a perverted little girl who tricks idiots into coming home!

Unexpectedly, Wu Wang did not stop.

Instead, it made a throwing motion in the direction where they were.

What made Xiaoxiao break out in a cold sweat was—

The hooded woman beside me.

That is, Yan Shuangying's partner.

They actually raised their arms and made a hugging motion.

It was as if the other party had actually thrown something unseen at us.

"Hey!"

The second sister felt a sudden, inexplicable heaviness in her hand.

After receiving the [Hidden Bomb]...

She casually tossed it onto the open ground.

My brother already said that.

This might be a side effect of his [Joker Suit].

That [invisible bomb] only affects him personally.

Once you receive it, just drop it off.

Little did she know, this action was seen through Xiao Xiao's eyes.

Just like Wu Wang, he started performing abstract mime without any warning.

Seeing this, the white-haired little girl completely broke down.

How come this guy's companion also has mental problems?
You think there aren't two normal brains among these three people?
At that moment, she happened to see a window of a villa open.

A handsome son of a high-ranking official glanced over here while getting some fresh air.

Then he quietly closed the window.

No!
My social circle! My identity as a normal person! My life!

Now they're going to be labeled as mentally ill!
In that instant, Xiaoxiao suddenly wondered if letting Yan Shuangying come over for the trade was a mistake.

Ding-dong-

She was on the verge of tears.

A message flashed on my phone.

Xiao Xiao wiped away her tears and took it out to look at it.

His expression turned strange.

It was a message from the vice president of an entertainment company.

The above is a photo of Dong Lei and a foreign man.

And he asked Xiaoxiao how to solve it.

Because he was the true power holder of that entertainment company.

It's actually Xiaoxiao.

She has quite a lot of assets.

Entertainment companies are just one example.
