Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 371 My monitor seems to be bugged!
Everyone was exasperated by the strange style of the gummy bears.

At the same time, everyone's attention turned to Wu Wang, who was fighting with a giant lobster.

Right now, he's using another small metal knife to probe the lobster claws in front of him.

Whenever the other party cuts at you with lightning speed.

He always reacts one step ahead, pressing the knife down on the pliers to stop them.

A person and a lobster were playing around on the side, making a lot of noise.

Wang Xianzhi sighed and said, "Brother, what time is it? Stop playing around. What's the situation on your end?"

Wu Wang did not answer her question.

He simply and silently used a knife to stab the already cooked lobster in the bowl.

Then he wrote on the tablecloth with the gravy—

[Villa, black stockings maid, sunny white horse]

Aside from the witch, both players who could read Chinese and dungeon creatures who couldn't read human language frowned.

Holy shit! What the hell are you doing?!

Would it kill you to open your mouth and say something?

Fortunately, the witch spoke up to explain for him at this moment:
"He seems to be having some problems right now; he can't speak."

"But the overall meaning should be that he was in a modern villa, and the people showing him the way were the villa's maids."

"As for the final 'sunny little white horse,' I don't understand what it means either."

Wu Wang gave the witch's explanation a thumbs up.

He then pointed to his mouth and shook his head.

He indicated that he was currently unable to speak.

Although they didn't know what had happened to him, everyone expressed their incomprehension but respect.

After figuring out what was strange about this place.

The quick-thinking contestants immediately realized what was so tricky about this place.

Actually, everyone is fine in different environments.

As long as everyone acts together, and if there are dangerous objects on their side, they should promptly inform others of the danger.

Those with extraordinary abilities are naturally unlikely to get into trouble.

The problem is—

What if someone doesn't say anything?
After all, the real culprit might be hiding among these contestants.

What if something strange or dangerous happens in the environment where the real culprit is?

He chose to keep it a secret and not speak out.

After encountering danger several times in a row.

The already fragile trust among people will soon collapse.

At that time, no one will believe anyone else, and everyone will choose to remain silent.

That was the most dangerous time.

"Let me tell you about the situation outside."

"From my perspective, the guides were some kind of tall apes, and the outermost edge of the primitive tribe was a bottomless canyon, which enclosed the place like an isolated island."

Panda was the first to speak and analyze the current situation.

Everyone looked out the villa's window from Wu Wang's perspective.

And he described everything he saw.

The Mongol army had surrounded the area, and the guide was a servant from the prince's palace.

Outside the haunted house where the shadow resides, countless wronged souls are screaming in agony, and the guide is also a vengeful ghost.
Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. What you see is a boundless sea, and your guide is a fisherman from a fishing village.
The Predator is inside the Colosseum, surrounded by ferocious monsters, and his guide is a slave of the Colosseum.

As for gummy bears...

He said that the area around his business district was surrounded by police cars, and it seemed like they could come in at any time to crack down on prostitution and illegal publications.

As for Wang Xianzhi, I wonder if luck is still on his side.

She was in the same environment as the witch.

What they saw were ancient castles and elves, now surrounded by towering trees.

“The blizzard-like mountain villa mode, huh?” Wang Xianzhi analyzed. “This should prove that whether the real culprit is an NPC or a player, he must be within this area, implying that we don’t need to explore outwards.”

The "locked room mystery" is a common trope in mystery literature and film.

Specifically refers to a group of people gathered in a relatively closed environment, such as a mountain villa isolated from the world due to a blizzard, or a secret room, an isolated island, etc.

Due to special circumstances, they were unable to contact the outside world, and no one could leave this environment.

Meanwhile, some strange things happened in the crowd, with members dying, proving that the murderer was among them. Under these circumstances, a limited search and deduction were needed.

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang suddenly dipped his knife in the meat juice and quickly wrote something.

Everyone turned to look at them with curiosity.

After he finished writing, the Mongolian top laner very honestly read it aloud:

"Blizzard? I know what a blizzard is!"

"If Blizzard's headquarters had been hit by a meteorite in 16, Blizzard would have become the most legendary game company of this century; if it had been hit by a meteorite in 18, it would have been a game company worth remembering; if it had been hit by a meteorite in 20, it would have been a game company that is regrettable."

"From now on, if it is hit by a meteorite, it will be a perfect meteorite."

Byd, we were talking about a blizzard! Which blizzard are you talking about?!

Everyone thought you had some important information!

Even if you can't speak, you still have to create some drama, right?
Damn it, is this guy really out of his mind?!
The Mongolian top laner was even embarrassed to explain to the dungeon creatures what Blizzard he was talking about.

However, when everyone got up to explore the place together...

The familiar red vertical pupil on the wrist of a certain mute entertainer opened for the first time in a long time.

After scanning the surroundings.

Suddenly, the environment in Wu Wang's eyes began to distort violently.

The lobster on the table first suddenly flashed into a roasted lamb leg, then turned into a steamed fish, and before it could even blink, it became a plate of bamboo shoots, rotten meat, snacks and fruit platter, and finally it took the form of a creature that looked like a scorpion.

It was staring intently at Wu Wang, hissing warily.

This made Wu Wang glance at the Predator next to him.

Just then, the other person finished eating the large scorpion in their hand and threw it, shell and stinger intact, onto the plate.

The Vision of Truth! Seeing through illusion!

After listening to the various descriptions of different environments from everyone.

Wu Wang's field of vision began to reveal environments he shouldn't have been able to see.

The various environments are presented like a slideshow, constantly switching and distorting.

Now Wu Wang feels like he's playing a game and the monitor is malfunctioning, making the game screen choppy.

The rapidly flashing and distorting scene even gave him a headache.

In addition, his [Eye of the Prophet] future vision effect will cause the image to overlap.

The moment Wu Wang stood up, he almost overloaded his CPU and fainted.

"Let's go, stop dancing the tango here." Wang Xianzhi said, watching Wu Wang stand up unsteadily.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, reminding everyone that they were now planning to start exploring the map from the first floor.

Wu Wang managed to utter a sound from his throat in response.

Suppressing the discomfort in his eyes, he swayed and followed behind the group.

His strange behavior was naturally noticed by everyone.

But this can only be considered a side effect of his previous outburst of inner power, which resulted in him injuring the War Lord with a single sword strike.

At most, the Mongolian top laner kindly came over to help his Holy Son brother.

The group arrived at the entrance of the villa.

Wu Wang saw a strange group photo on the wall.

There are ten figures above.

A closer look reveals that these characters likely represent the roles of the nine contestants present.

And the villa owner who supposedly died, who was also the father of the young master Wu Wang.

The reason it felt strange was that they weren't wearing the formal attire that a large family would wear for a family portrait.

Instead, they were all wearing eerie black robes, with hoods pulled up to almost completely cover their faces.

There was no joy to be seen on anyone's face.

Logically speaking, it's normal to say "cheese" and smile when taking a photo, right?
But they looked utterly dejected, as if their mothers had just died.

"Hmm? What is this?" Wu Wang squinted and leaned closer to examine it more closely.

He noticed that the old man standing in the main position in the group photo had something translucent, like a gemstone, on his forehead.

If that's all there is to it, then it can be explained as the perverse tastes of the wealthy.

It's not that strange.

The problem is—Wu Wang can now see the group photos in every environment!
Similar group photos on the walls of other people's environments mark the identities of the owners of these places. There are also pictures of wizards gathering in castles, murals and carvings of primitive tribes, old and yellowed photos of fishing villages, hand-painted family portraits in royal palaces, black and white portraits of the deceased in haunted houses, and... the talent show list of Shang K.

Without exception, this is true in these pictures.

They all have the exact same gem.

Even in the murals and carvings of primitive tribes, a diamond-shaped pattern symbolizing gemstones is clearly visible carved on the head of the monkey in the main position.

It's strange to look at all the photos together.

Logically, the same things shouldn't exist in different environments.

He did not notify all the players immediately.

Even the three people who are currently somewhat close to him—the witch, Wang Xianzhi, and the Mongolian top laner—did not mention it.

After all, no one can guarantee that they aren't the real culprits.

Anyway, the photos don't seem to pose any danger at the moment.

Wu Wang then kept this as a clue known only to himself and kept it to himself for the time being.

"Here is a list of servants from the Prince's mansion." The Mongolian strategist found a roster in a drawer.

His expression turned strange after he opened it.

He said in a serious tone, "My records clearly state that this palace should have nine servants and a steward."

Everyone raised their eyebrows and came over to check the list.

From their different perspectives, one can also see that the contents recorded on it are different.

Only Wu Wang could secretly observe the contents of everyone's orders.

After getting used to the various screen transitions,

He determined what each person saw.

Some were recipes, some were hunting logs, and some were lists of mineral materials that were incomprehensible...

In short, apart from the Mongolian top laner.

No one's order details included information about the number of NPCs inside the building.

Indeed, different people see different information.

If the witch's previous predictions were correct.

The issue of the number of players mentioned earlier by the Mongolian top laner will exist in everyone's environment.

If he hadn't brought it up suddenly.

The other people had no idea that there was a hidden NPC in their environment!

Without this information point.

What if this NPC happens to be the real culprit?

After he commits the crime, people will only speculate among their own people and other guides.

You will never get the right answer.

In the end, they could only face total annihilation!

"Interesting, Nightmare is encouraging players to communicate and cooperate..."

Or should we encourage the real culprit to hide dangerous clues?

Wu Wang squinted as he looked at everyone's expressions.

He still felt that, besides the NPCs, the players themselves were quite likely to be the real culprits.

Unfortunately, no clues have been detected on anyone's face yet.

bang-

Just as everyone was discussing that the hidden NPC might simply be someone they hadn't encountered yet.

After all, this area was still ridiculously large.

An unusual noise came from upstairs.

Everyone exchanged glances.

They moved quickly toward the upstairs location at almost the same time.

Don't forget, it's not just the players who will be eliminated.

NPCs can get into trouble too!

The guides who led the way have all gone off to attend to their own business, and are now scattered throughout the area.

If you want to make a move, attacking them is naturally easier than attacking the players who are grouped together!

The group quickly located the source of the noise—

It was a rather secluded room located in the attic.

From Wu Wang's perspective, this place was nothing more than a dumping ground for miscellaneous items, covered in dust and seemingly unused for a long time.

However, this can be observed from the perspectives of the witch and Wang Xianzhi.

It is striking to discover that this is the clock tower at the very top of the castle.

A large bronze bell, which looks ancient and incredibly heavy, hangs above.

A flower fairy lay lifeless beneath the large bronze bell.

Two long bell tongues lay on the ground beside her.

This thing was supposed to be inside a large bronze bell, and when someone pulled the rope next to it, it would swing back and forth, striking the bell and making a sound.

The flower fairy appears to have had an accident while replacing parts inside the large bronze bell.

So the bell in her hand fell to the ground and rolled, making the same sound that everyone had heard on the first floor.

Of course, to others, this is not a bell or tongue.

Instead, they were some strange things, like a microphone that looked like a gummy bear...

“This flower fairy’s face has been smashed by some kind of blunt object, so we can’t tell which guide she was downstairs. Should we try to gather the other flower fairies together to eliminate them?” Wang Xianzhi asked, frowning.

After quickly recounting what she had seen to the others, she proceeded with the analysis of the victim's identity.

However, just as everyone was pondering this...

Wu Wang suddenly spoke.

"She's the one who came to pick me up."

After exactly half an hour, he was finally able to speak.

Damn, I really wanted to eat lobster just now!

But no matter what he did, he couldn't open his mouth, so Wu Wang got angry and stood there fighting the lobster with his knife.

The witch smiled and said, "You can speak now? Tell me your opinion."

"Oh, by the way, what did you mean by 'sunny little white horse' that you just wrote?"

Face this problem.

Wu Wang chuckled and replied:

"Sunshine~Rainbow~Little White Horse~Didi la didi da!"

"The words I wrote are missing a rainbow. I want to tell you that the hair of those black-stockinged maids is like a rainbow, but in different colors."

"The one who died now was the black-haired maid who led the way for me."

Everyone: "..."

This is insane! Who would associate this with rainbow-colored hair?!

Can't you just write it out directly?
It's not like I can't write it all or don't have enough time. I just saw you writing your rant about the Blizzard meteorite with great enthusiasm!

Just when everyone was wondering where to begin complaining.

A mechanical notification voice echoed across the entire map—

[Please vote for the culprit within one hour.]

[Voting will take place in individual rooms.]

"What's going on! Why did they suddenly start voting!?" Panda's panda eyes widened in disbelief.

Didn't they say it would only begin after two people died?

Wu Wang's grinning expression gradually faded.

He said, becoming somewhat serious:
"That proves that not only this maid died, but there was another victim!"

"We have one hour left to find the body and analyze the killer."

"If we can't find it... the game will get much harder!"

No one has forgotten what Nightmare said before entering the game—

Every time the wrong culprit is identified, the truth is revealed.

The opponent will gain a powerful additional ability.

The prefix that even the host of the "Disaster Comedy Show" called "powerful" is used to describe it.

It is clear that this will have a significant impact on the game's balance.

Now, the pressure is on everyone.
