Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 322 Xiaoxiao's Exclusive Versailles

Click——

The temperature inside the villa had dropped drastically.

Just when it was almost frosty.

One after another, the dark red wooden doors began to creak under the strain.

Rotten wood chips were falling from the cracks in the door.

The surrounding yin energy began to decrease significantly.

It was like a warm current flowing through a cellar, slightly restoring the feeling of the living world to this place.

The ghosts who had been captured and interrogated by Wu Xiaoyou all showed expressions of terror.

They rushed toward the wooden door one after another.

It seems they want to open it.

After all, without the nourishment of yin energy, they would soon dissipate here.

Because of the wooden door blocking their view, they couldn't go too far away from this place to absorb people's yang energy.

Now it seems we either have to wait to die where we are, or open the wooden door and go back.

However, how could they, already so weak, possibly shake the passage connecting the underworld and the world of the living?
Just when they were all in despair.

A jumble of sounds seemed to be coming from inside the door—

"Big brother, big brother, can this be considered a merit?"

"Of course it counts! How could it not count? I didn't realize you were even better at public speaking than that guy with the mustache! When I die, I'll definitely take you to the beer hall in the underworld to challenge that guy with the mustache to a duel!"

"A win-win situation! But the door seems to be stuck!"

ka ka ka-

The wooden door was being frantically turned by someone from the inside.

But its mission was to blockade this area.

How can we bring back those who have gone to the underworld?

Even though the yin energy that sustains the wooden door has been reduced to the extreme, it is still striving to fulfill its mission.

Just then, a sharp female voice shouted, "Let me do it!"

The next second, a dull thud came from behind the wooden door.

The already overburdened wooden door finally let out a final, agonizing click.

It shattered upon impact.

A large hole was kicked directly into the door.

It revealed her short legs wearing bunny shoes.

The moment the dark red wooden door shattered, the entire villa's anomaly vanished without a trace.

The gate was slightly ajar, revealing the road leading out of the residential area.

The lockdown has been completely lifted!

Three figures rushed out from behind the broken door.

After Wu Xiaoyou and Xiaoxiao fell to the ground, they looked back at the wooden door with lingering fear.

Just then, I witnessed it explode into a sky full of yin energy that dissipated between heaven and earth.

"I...I escaped..."

Xiao Xiao wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Only then did I realize that my hands were gradually returning to normal body temperature.

Wu Wang looked at her pair of rabbit shoes, which were designed specifically for breaking down doors.

I couldn't help but exclaim, "In the macroscopic world, classical mechanics is still the most useful. It's all about concentration; the ancients were right."

"What do you mean?" Xiaoxiao didn't understand Wu Wang's joke.

Wu Xiaoyou explained, "What he meant was—'Good kick! No wonder she's called the 'Hard Barbie,' small but powerful!'"

Xiao Xiao: “…”

The three of them chatted idly as they stood up and dusted themselves off.

A white fountain pen bounced around Wu Wang.

He looked like a sycophant eager for praise.

After Wu Wang eliminated the Forgotten Words Palace Master's attention to the anomaly based on his own understanding.

The ghosts in the entire [Hall of the Dead] began to stir.

According to the law of conservation of attention.

From that moment on, the ghosts in the outer palace who had chosen to ignore the anomalies began to unconsciously become aware of the anomalies in the inner palace.

Those beings in the inner palace who had turned into vengeful ghosts also focused all their attention on Lord Wangyu.

It was as if the allure of this manor lord far surpassed that of anything else in the world.

For a vengeful ghost that has little consciousness left and only instinct remains.

Attraction means wanting to tear the other person apart and devour them.

Therefore, they were suppressed by Wu Xiaoyou's mechanism and numerical superposition.

They resolutely chose to turn around and charge upwards.

They are determined to devour Lord Wangyu completely.

Meanwhile, in the outer palace, the spirit of the Ouija board noticed that the ghosts had started putting down their wine cups and discussing the unusual situation in the inner palace.

He began by saying, "Comrades, I don't think the world should be like this."

The fact that the Lord of Wangyu Mansion used a banquet as a pretext to actually gather them together every year to conscript men and turn them into vengeful ghosts.

There should be equality among ghosts, and the lord's oppression of them is a sign of disrespect.

Finally, it inspired everyone to either erupt in silence or perish in silence.

This caused the ghosts in the outer palace to completely abandon their habit of ignoring the abnormality.

They rushed into the inner palace.

Everyone had red eyes and wanted to seek justice from Lord Wangyu.

Thus, the main gate of the mansion could not be opened from the inside.

It was utterly trampled into pieces by the ghosts of the outer palace.

Wu Xiaoyou and Xiaoxiao were completely dumbfounded when, after the vengeful ghosts from the inner palace went upstairs, countless ghosts from the outer palace broke down the door and also went upstairs.

On the contrary, it was Wu Wang's inconspicuous figure.

He went against the flow of the horde of ghosts rushing upstairs and returned to the crowd.

He grabbed them and tried to run outside.

He even explained his speculation about the "level of attention" to them.

And explain what is happening now—

"The reason that bastard can control so many vengeful ghosts and yin energy in the inner palace is because they were originally assimilated into vengeful ghosts through [Ignore Anomalies]. This is mostly an ability that Ethan gave him. Now that there are no ghosts and [Ignore Anomalies], he can no longer control yin energy. Two fists can't fight four hands. Such a number of ghosts will eventually devour him."

"He is the lord of the mansion. If he falls from power, this mansion will most likely disappear as well."

"We have to get back to reality before the mansion disappears and the Red Gate collapses!"

And so, they ran back.

The scene of Xiaoxiao kicking down the already collapsing red door.

Of course, Xiaoxiao later learned how Wu Wang defeated Lord Wangyu.

He was just imagining himself being engulfed in flames.

He muttered to himself, "It was the Flame Fist. I used the Flame Fist on him."

Still not understanding what she was saying, Xiaoxiao chose to give up.

Wu Xiaoyou then looked around the house.

Many weak ghosts dissipate because they cannot obtain yin energy.

She could sort of see it.

The Yin energy that the Lord of Wangyu Mansion maintained for the existence of the mansion and the Red Gate.

They all came from the ghosts he had deceived and controlled.

Now...

It's all gone, dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

"By the way, Xiaoxiao, if you want to continue living in this house, you should ask someone to dispel the lingering yin energy left after the ghost has dissipated."

“Normally, the amount of this yin energy is not enough to affect people, but now there are far too many ghosts dissipating here.”

"Prolonged exposure to yin energy can weaken a living person."

Wu Xiaoyou said quietly.

To this, Xiaoxiao simply shrugged and said, "It's okay, we can stay in other villas."

“My father owns more than one villa in Beijing.”

Such extravagant and outrageous remarks caused the siblings to exchange a glance.

Wu Wang, who was taking out his phone to look up some information, also complained, "Did you know? There are basically three types of houses in this world—"

"One type of house is one you can afford through your own hard work; the other type is one that your father or grandfather, or two or three generations of his family, can afford through their hard work..."

"Oh, I found it."

He stopped mid-sentence and turned his attention back to the documents he was looking for.

Wu Xiaoyou couldn't help but ask, "What about the last one? Does it require the efforts of many more generations to afford?"

Wu Wang shook his head in denial.

With a helpless expression, he said, "No, the last type is a house that you won't have at birth, and you'll never have in this lifetime."

He then looked at Xiaoxiao with an expression as if she were a "big shot in the dog market".

The other person simply shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

After all, Xiaoxiao had encountered countless people who envied or were jealous of her since she was a child.

This level of teasing is nothing to them.

Then Wu Wang looked at Xiao Xiao with a serious expression.

He briefly explained to her the situation Ethan and the members of the Disaster Cult were causing trouble in the capital.

He added, "I've made up my mind about the deal to remove the curse from you. The condition is—"

"I want you to provide me with some assistance during this crisis."

"Of course, in essence, this matter has little to do with you. I also believe that with your financial strength, you can completely leave the capital and go to other cities to wait for the [public beta] to arrive. If you refuse, I will change the terms of the deal and will not use curses to forcibly bind you."

"So, I hope you'll seriously consider this." "Help me, or run away?"

After listening to the conditions proposed by Wu Wang.

Xiao Xiao remained silent for a moment.

Then take a deep breath.

Looking at the now-normal two-story spiral staircase, he said, "I guess I don't have a choice anymore."

"That guy you're talking about, Ethan, is probably keeping an eye on me too."

"Furthermore, from an investment perspective, since you, Boss Yan, have connections with the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, helping you solve this problem is also indirectly helping the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs deal with the crisis in the capital. Perhaps I can even gain favor with the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs through this."

"The social unrest that followed the public beta was something my father and I had predicted long ago."

“Even without your involvement, we would have found a way to get in touch with you.”

"It's just that the solutions we've come up with are merely icing on the cake in terms of economic and social appeal, and their effects certainly won't be as substantial as your timely help this time."

"Therefore, I agree to this condition."

"Just let me know if you need my help."

A look of surprise flashed in Wu Wang's eyes.

To be honest, Xiao Xiao, this white-haired loli, performed only moderately well in the previous dungeons.

He asked her for help himself.

They were simply attracted by her social influence and economic strength.

I didn't expect her to say "from an investment perspective."

The person's entire demeanor changed instantly.

It gives the impression of a business tycoon sitting in a conference room.

As expected, like father, like daughter.

A man who can achieve Zhang Jianguo's status, his daughter is not some spoiled brat.

Xiaoxiao is someone who really uses her brain to think about problems.

Her average performance in the dungeon is probably unavoidable, since Wu Wang has only seen her in the Nightmare difficulty dungeon.

So her ordinariness is only in comparison to her "wonderful work".

Compared to most players, Xiaoxiao is actually one of the better ones.

Wu Wang likes to deal with smart people.

Now he has a different opinion of Xiaoxiao.

He grinned and pushed his phone over.

Pointing to the open webpage, he said, "It's not that Ethan is targeting you. You don't have any special characteristics. Right now, the only ones being targeted are me and the Other Shore Flower. You're just an unlucky victim caught in the crossfire."

"Let's put that aside for now. What I need to know now is whether you know anyone inside these places."

"Ideally, I'd like to reach the level of someone in charge of a department."

"I'd like you to arrange a meeting with them to talk."

Xiaoxiao took the phone.

I carefully examined the area circled above.

These are: [Beijing News Broadcasting Center], [Seven Star Entertainment Co., Ltd.], [Huayi Media Co., Ltd.], and [Beihe Media Co., Ltd.]

The former is the central hub in Beijing responsible for news and media.

It is the collective name for the integration of official media organizations such as Beijing Television and Beijing Daily.

The latter three can be considered among the best entertainment and media companies in China.

Their headquarters are all located in the capital city.

Xiao Xiao's brows furrowed slightly.

He didn't answer his own question for a long time.

Wu Wang couldn't help but ask, "What? Even a lower level is fine?"

Hear this statement.

Xiao Xiao said somewhat helplessly, "I really don't know them very well."

"But I know Cheng Yong, the head of the News Broadcasting Center, Gu Tao, the president of Huayi Media, and Yuan Lifang, the president of Beihe Media."

"I don't really know anyone below that level."

Wu Wang: "..."

Damn it, those capitalists!
I've always only heard that when you need connections, you can't meet people at a higher level.

This is the first time I've heard someone say that they don't recognize the opposite direction.

What does it mean to not recognize anything below a certain level?

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
"What about Seven Star Entertainment? You know their CEO too?" Wu Wang pressed.

He already guessed the result even without asking.

After all, knowing the heads of several other companies, I guess one more won't make a difference.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao's expression became complicated.

She pointed to her own face.

He said awkwardly, "I am the real person in charge of [Seven Star Entertainment]."

At that moment, the air was eerily quiet.

The Wu siblings exchanged a silent glance.

He sighed, realizing he was still out of step with capitalism.

Damn! Who would have thought that the person in charge of such a huge company is a white-haired little girl!
Is there any fucking justice in this?

Take a few deep breaths to calm yourself down and get into the mood of "farmers fighting landlords".

After Wu Wang pulled the phone back, he said, "Very good, then my plan to deal with Ethan will depend entirely on you."

"But there's one more issue before that—you need to provide me with a way to gain your trust at any time."

Xiaoxiao was somewhat puzzled by this statement.

"Don't I trust you yet?"

To this question, Wu Wang shook his head and said, "No, I mean even if you lose the memory of needing to deal with Ethan, I can immediately gain your trust. Believe me, there will definitely be such a time."

My second sister and I were immune to the opponent's rule-based abilities thanks to the Abyss God and the fragments of the past.

But Xiaoxiao doesn't have someone of that level to rely on.

In other words, when Ethan uses his rule-based abilities again.

She too will forget Ethan's abnormality, just like the mythical beast Xie Zhi.

In that case, since she has no sense of confrontation with Ethan, she might not trust him enough to cooperate with him.

Therefore, Wu needed to prepare a backup plan before its demise.

And this backup plan needs to be provided by Xiaoxiao herself.

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao understood what it meant.

She needed to provide Wu Wang with a secret that only she knew.

In this way, even if he loses his memories of Ethan and doesn't understand why he had to cooperate with Wu Wang, he can still achieve his goals.

Once you hear this secret, you'll understand that something must have happened before you entrusted it to him.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxiao's face suddenly turned red for some reason.

He kept clenching his fist, then relaxing it, frowning, then stretching it out.

It seems that some kind of decision has been made.

Then he leaned close to Wu Wang's ear and whispered something.

"I……"

She spoke very quickly, finishing her sentence in just a few seconds.

After hearing this, Wu Wang's expression also became strange.

This girl's secret seems a bit too...

Looking at him, he seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

She immediately widened her eyes and said fiercely, "If you dare tell anyone else, I'll haunt you even in death!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore." Wu Wang shrugged, somewhat helplessly.

Wu Xiaoyou, who was watching from the sidelines, was completely bewildered.

They stepped forward to ask Wu Wang what he was planning to do.

He randomly opened a search page on his phone.

Pointing to the dazzling array of trending topics and entertainment gossip below.

He said with utmost seriousness, "I'm going to crush him using Ethan's own rules, based on the level of attention he receives."

"I want him to walk into the trap I've set and willingly use his rule-based abilities to attack me."

"This time, it's my turn to make the first move."

After saying that, he looked at the two women with a cunning glint in his eyes.

His expression changed instantly, and he asked with a grin:

Do you know what the three elements of news are?

While Wu Xiaoyou was still thinking, Xiaoxiao immediately answered:
"Authenticity, accuracy, and timeliness."

After all, she is also the behind-the-scenes boss of an entertainment media company, and her sensitivity to news is no less than that of journalists and other professionals.

Seeing her so certain, Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and continued:
"What are the three elements of journalism?"

This time, both women fell silent.

Although it's only one word different.

But the meaning behind this has clearly changed.

They are not professionals in the journalism industry.

Naturally, it's difficult to define much about this seemingly academic discussion.

Seeing their predicament.

Wu Wang smiled and said, word by word:

"The three essential elements of journalism are—"

"Setting the tone, stirring up emotions, and provoking conflict."
