Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 343 The Gate of Life and Death

The guards looked at Wu Wang with increasing helplessness.

His fist was clenched and clenched repeatedly.

He had never felt that someone could be so irritating, and how could they say such hurtful things?

But in the end, he was forced to accept the fact that the other party was an assassin tasked with the Queen's mission, and that witchers are generally very skilled, especially Jesse, who is a fairly well-known witcher.

Even if her leg is broken, she probably can't handle it on her own...

Oh, she broke her leg.

I didn't want to bully a disabled person, that's why I didn't lay a hand on her. Yes, that's right.

After convincing myself internally.

The guards, having calmed themselves, led Wu Wangchao to a secluded treasure vault.

Two towering figures, like Cyclops from a video game, stood at the entrance.

Their skin colors were very different.

One was entirely red, like a raging fire.

One that is entirely blue, like the ocean.

Wu Wang's height was passable; he was tall enough that he wouldn't be considered a level two disabled person walking down the street, and he could only look at other people's navels at eye level.

The two giants each held a spear that was half a head taller than themselves, as well as a giant shield that resembled a city gate.

There is absolutely no doubt about it.

If these two were placed on a chaotic battlefield, they would be devastating weapons for siege warfare.

When they saw Wu Wang and his guards approaching, they immediately crossed their spears to block the road in front of them.

The oppressive atmosphere was palpable, as if the two spears would pierce through anyone who made the slightest move.

"My lords, I am here on the King's orders to bring the Witcher Jessie to retrieve some materials. Please open the door for me," the guard said respectfully.

However, faced with his demands.

The two giants completely ignored them.

The red-skinned giant simply said in a muffled voice, "We have not received such an order."

The blue-skinned giant added, "The king only said that we can only open the door if the person who comes later can pass the test."

Upon hearing this, the guard's expression changed.

He also figured it out.

The king had no intention of rewarding Wu Wang.

Then, cautiously, he asked, "What if you don't pass the test..."

"Then let us kill the one who coveted the king's treasury with a single spear! This is the punishment he deserves!" the two giants said in unison.

Their eyes were also fixed on Wu Wang.

The mockery and murderous intent in his eyes burst forth without any attempt to conceal them.

After all, they had been guarding the treasury entrance for many years, and it had been a long time since anyone had dared to come and demand the king's reward.

Since we finally have something fun to do, we should enjoy it to the fullest.

They had already made up their minds.

Instead of killing Wu Wang with a single spear thrust, we'll slowly pierce him, betting on how many blows he can withstand before he dies.

The red-skinned person guessed ten times.

The blue-skinned person guessed five times.

"Um... well, maybe we should just forget it then. If you leave now, you can go out directly without being stopped because you have the Queen's mission to carry out," the guard reminded Wu Wang.

Unexpectedly, this guy took a step forward.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Tell me, what kind of test is it? I'm in a hurry."

With such an arrogant tone, even the Corruption Demon behind him couldn't tell whether Wu Wang was just confident or truly reckless.

He felt that it was possible that both were true.

The two giants exchanged a glance.

He grinned and said, "There are two doors behind us. One leads to the king's treasury, which is where you'll get the materials; the other leads to the mass grave, which is where we dispose of the bodies after we've killed people."

"You can ask us questions later to figure out exactly where the door behind you leads."

"But one of us will only tell the truth, and the other will only lie."

"Please think it over and make a decision within five minutes. Before that, we will not do anything other than open the door and answer questions."

"If you choose the wrong path, a mass grave will be your final resting place. Do you understand?"

Wu Wang's expression grew increasingly helpless.

He stopped engaging in these obvious logical reasoning problems many years ago.

Because it was too easy for him.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.

He paused for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Wait a minute, didn't you two mention the restriction of 'only one question allowed'?"

His words left the two giants somewhat bewildered.

He frowned and said, "There's no such restriction. You just need to make a decision within five minutes. But be careful, only we can open the door. Don't even think about sneaking over to open it yourself."

"So, have you decided when to start the test?"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it.

The mention of no problem quantity limit actually made Wu Wang a little wary.

Normally, the difficulty of this logic problem lies in how to arrive at the answer within a single question.

If you ask the question an infinite number of times, any normal person would eventually figure out who is telling the truth and who is lying, right?

Or……

Are there any other traps?
With a curious mindset.

Wu Wang still chose to begin the test.

He wanted to see every trap with his own eyes.

The two giants, red and blue, immediately suppressed their mockery and murderous intent, even their facial expressions became numb, as if they had become machines that only acted according to the rules.

They took their mission very seriously; otherwise, the king would have replaced them long ago.

Looking at them like this.

Wu Wang chose to first use this logic to think about the correct answer to the question.

Anyway, they said the number of times is unlimited.

He pointed to the red-skinned giant and asked seriously, "Tell me, which door this blue-skinned giant next to you will tell me leads to the treasure vault?"

If the Red Giant is telling the truth.

Therefore, we can deduce from his words that the Blue Giant will say that Door X leads to the treasure vault.

Because the Blue Giant is the one who lies.

Therefore, the door he mentioned must lead to a mass grave, not the entrance to a treasure vault;
If the Red Giant is lying.

Therefore, we can also deduce from his words that the Blue Giant would say that Door X leads to the treasure vault.

Because the Red Giant can deceive people with lies, the Gate X he reveals will still lead to the mass grave, not the treasure vault.

Therefore, it doesn't matter who is telling the truth and who is lying.

Under Wu Wang's question.

The door the other party chooses will definitely be the door to the mass grave. Then you just need to choose the other door and there won't be any problems.

come on!

Let's see how you answer!

Under the watchful eyes of the guards and the Corruption Demon, who were so tense they seemed to be holding their hands in sweat.

Wu Wang's expression suddenly changed.

【ding dong——】

Congratulations! You have earned 10 points.

"Huh? Holy crap? Why did I suddenly get points? Is there anything about this that makes the story more interesting?" Wu Wang asked, puzzled.

In his thoughtful gaze.

The red-skinned giant slowly opened his mouth—

"The truth."

"..."

The entire hall was completely silent.

After uttering those two short words, the red-skinned giant froze completely, like a statue, showing no intention of continuing to speak.

This made Wu Wang's expression even more peculiar.

This...isn't this right?
Where's the answer? Where's the answer to the question?
He suddenly realized something and asked, "Are you a woman?"

Red Giant: "The truth."

Wu Wang: "I'll eat lemons."

Red Giant: "The truth."

Wu Wang: "I think pasta should be mixed with No. 24 concrete so that the torque of the Pythagorean theorem is not easily affected, thus causing the taste of Newton's first law of helicopters to turn sour."

Red Giant: "The truth."

Wu Wang: "..."

Damn it! According to the rules, one of you only tells the truth, and the other only tells lies.

So it turns out all I can say are "truth" and "lie"!

I thought it was a Boolean value, but it turned out to be a string? Did you add double quotes and change the conditional format to text format for your friend?

Is this king even human?

Wu Wang finally understood why he had suddenly received points at this time.

That's amazing, absolutely amazing!

It is estimated that everyone who asked the king for payment was tricked into coming here to play a game.

After all, judging from what these two giants said, they had killed many people.

And everyone who has been deceived should realize at this point that there is actually no way to get the right answer from them.

They were just trying to trick people into taking a test.

"Take a gamble with your luck?"

The next second, Wu Wang immediately rejected this approach.

If these two giants really killed many participants, wouldn't a few of them have been lucky enough to choose the correct vault door? After all, it's just a choice between two options.

But no rumors about the King's Treasury have spread outside, which proves that everyone who came here to take the test was indeed killed.

This is not something that can be achieved by luck.

"That's right, only these two guys can open the door, that's the problem." His gaze immediately sharpened.

Since such conditions exist, it proves that there must be some kind of witchcraft or mechanism on the door that can verify the giant's identity.

This prevents others from opening the door.

But regardless of the method, there is another possibility—the two giants can actually control the rooms corresponding to the doors.

It doesn't really matter which door you choose.

These two can open a treasure vault whenever they want, and send you to a mass grave whenever they want.

This is a multiple-choice question where the question setter can change the answer at any time.

【ding dong——】

Congratulations! You have earned 15 points.

Earn points again.

Now Wu Wang understood why there were points; he was already dead in this game, and five minutes later, his spear fell.

Death makes the scoring system interesting.

Especially in a situation where everything is clearly planned for the future, a sudden death can make the story feel beautifully tragic.

"She...is dying?" the Corruption Demon muttered to himself.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Could it be that Jessie, the witcher whom his people have hated for so long, is finally going to die a miserable death in this place? That would be a great revenge!
The guard couldn't help but sigh.

He actually knew about the trap here.

He would advise everyone he brought over to cherish their lives and not risk them for a little reward.

If all else fails, I can just turn around and leave.

It's embarrassing, but at least I'm still alive, right?

For us poor folks at the bottom of society, just being alive is the greatest blessing.

Unfortunately, no one ever listened to his advice.

"Sigh, another one who died young..."

boom--

when--

The guard had just finished his remark.

A muffled gunshot shattered the deathly silence of the hall.

Both the pollution demon and the guards looked at Wu Wang with horrified eyes, and at the smoking hunting rifle in his hand.

shot?

Inside the royal palace?
How dare he!?
However, Wu Wang only looked at the red giant's forehead where the shotgun bullet had hit.

There wasn't even a trace left on it, let alone any damage caused.

Even the sound of bullets hitting it was a crisp metallic clang.

The opponent's body was as hard as diamond, making it impossible to cause any physical damage.

Before the guards could even step forward to remind them...

Then Wu Wang pulled out another strangely shaped pistol, aimed it at the blue-skinned giant, and pulled the trigger.

Immediately afterwards, a torrent of scorching fire erupted like lava, and even just standing next to it made the guards and the Corruption Demon feel somewhat unbearable.

Unfortunately, after the firelight flickered...

The blue-skinned giant stared expressionlessly at Wu Wang, who remained unharmed where he had been struck by the elemental spear.

"Hmm, it seems it's not a problem with the Demon Hunter Gun's effectiveness. These two guys really have incredibly high physical defense and no metal fatigue." Wu Wang put the gun back into his backpack.

They walked step by step toward the blue giant.

Under everyone's puzzled gaze.

He leaped up and straddled the blue giant's neck, pulling out a rusty, broken sword from behind him.

"Ha, even bullets can't penetrate my skin, and this idiot is planning to use a crappy sword?" the blue giant thought to himself.

Just then, Wu Wang spoke—

Do you think you'll fall to this sword?

"lie!"

The blue giant immediately retorted dismissively.

Hearing this predictable answer, Wu Wang nodded, then slowly placed [Xiaochuan] on the other person's crown.

Although [Xiaochuan] can cause soul damage as long as it hits, the part of the body hit will more or less affect its effect.

A direct strike to the head, the location of one's spiritual consciousness, is definitely more effective than striking the palm with the "100% chance of catching a blade barehanded" technique.

But how could players normally just stick their necks out and let Wu Wang chop their heads off?
These two giants are incredibly confident in their defenses, aren't they? Let's give them a try.

Whether it was the assessment made before firing the gun or now, when Wu Wang casually felt the incredibly tough skin of this guy, he came to the same conclusion—

This is not skin, but some kind of refining process!
In other words, these two seemingly giant figures are essentially two puppets!
Why do puppets have self-awareness?
Wu Wang came up with the simplest solution—there was some kind of spirit possessing and controlling these two puppets.

As for dealing with spirits...

I have my own expertise in packaging.

Let's see if your words are tougher, or my sword is tougher!

when--

The sound of metal clashing again came between the broken sword and the blue giant's forehead, but it was much quieter than the sound of a bullet hitting it.

But this seemingly harmless slash still made the blue giant tremble.

Its eyes gradually became dull.

He couldn't hold onto his spear and shield tightly, and they fell straight down, cracking the floor tiles.

boom--

In the bewildered and panicked gaze of the red giant, the enormous blue creature, just like itself, crashed heavily to the ground with a tremendous roar.

Amidst the rising dust, Wu Wang's relatively thin figure appeared and disappeared like a ghost.

"I'm asking you, was he injured?"

Wu Wang's voice was icy cold.

The tone was less like a question and more like a statement of fact.

Due to the rules, the Red Giant could only manage to squeeze out two words: "The truth."

when--

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wu Wang swung his sword down once more on the blue giant's enormous head.

The other person's entire body, which was lying on the ground, began to tremble uncontrollably, as if they were enduring some kind of unspeakable pain.

Its spirit is being torn apart.

when--

when--

He hacked and slashed incessantly, as if whipping a corpse.

The red giant standing to the side felt his eyelids twitch, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

He kept praying that the five-minute time limit would come quickly, so that if Wu Wang had not made a choice by the time it was up, he could swing his spear and pierce him.

It is now Wu Wang's turn to answer.

The giant cannot break the rules.

Finally, after whipping the corpse until the blue giant no longer moved.

Wu Wang stood up and walked step by step toward the last remaining red giant.

He asked, enunciating each word clearly, "Tell me, is he dead or not?"

"The truth."

He walked up to the other, leaped high into the air, straddling its neck, and, using [Laughing River] to hover above the red giant's skull, continued:
"If you say that again, will I chop you up too?"

"The...truth..."

The voice trembled slightly as it answered.

The opponent's killing intent was so intense it was almost tangible. No wonder he was the best demon hunter. Even the Corruption Demon, who was watching all this from afar, felt an itch on the top of his head, as if Wu Wang was about to stab him with his sword.

For the first time, the ruthless red giant felt the shadow of death hovering over him, like a persistent nightmare.

There's only one minute left.

Wu Wang casually pointed to a door.

"I choose this door."

"It must be a treasure trove, right?"

The red giant's expression twisted, and it even considered shaking Wu Wang off the spot the moment the door opened, then stabbing him to death with a spear.

But it was clear that he couldn't outrun his sword.

Because [Xiaochuan] has already reached the top of his head, but it has not yet fully activated its attack effect on the spirit.

This was merely a matter of Wu Wang's whim.

Looking at that heavy gate.

The spirit within the red giant felt a slight stinging sensation spreading gradually.

In the end, it could only grit its teeth and say:

"The truth!"

Having said that, it raised its hand and pressed it on the relief on the surface of the door after Wu Wang had chosen the door according to the rules.

Its enormous hand fits perfectly into the empty space of the relief, like a key or a gear.

Boom boom boom——

The heavy door creaked loudly as it scraped against the floor.

A faint fragrance of sandalwood wafted from it.

There was absolutely no bloody smell or even the pungent odor of rotting and fermenting corpses.

Behind the door is—

[The King’s Treasure House]!
