Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 377 Death Flaw

Chapter 377 Death Flaw
A starry screen appeared in front of the two of them.

The 3D map above has been transformed into a bird's-eye view of the entire building.

Furthermore, each room was meticulously labeled with its corresponding name, making it look almost like a map function in a game.

In one of the rooms, which is quite far from the lobby.

There are two footprints made of stars that are swaying back and forth, as if someone is pacing back and forth anxiously about something.

This is another ability of the witch—

[Living Map]

All the places she explored were recorded by the [Starry Screen].

Once any signs of biological activity are found in these recorded locations, they will be marked on the Star Screen.

In fact, from the moment the corpse appeared, she dropped the crystal ball to explore the building, and she never retrieved it afterward.

The crystal ball rolled continuously throughout the entire castle, recording events.

It has probably been to almost every place here, except for certain secret rooms.

Of course, this also includes the star marks left on every player and NPC.

Therefore, the witch was also able to determine that the gummy bears from before were not the real culprits trying to fake their deaths to escape.

Because the name "Gummy Bear" has disappeared from the map.

This proves that this thing no longer belongs to the category of living beings and has completely lost its vitality.

And now, a name is clearly marked below that footprint—

【Fellow Daoist, please wait】.

While looking at the map, the witch couldn't help but glance at Wu Wang, who was limping.

She had to admit that this guy was indeed very clever.

They can always come up with unexpected solutions, yet they always manage to achieve some kind of miraculous effect.

At that time, when Wu Wang said he wanted to hunt down players in reverse, the witch was still a little confused.

This method of catching the real culprit sounds utterly absurd at first glance.

In hindsight, he was right.

Everyone will reveal their weaknesses when faced with the trap of death.

His subsequent explanation was as follows—

"Since the production team and Nightmare have given the real culprit the option to awaken the life of the building, and made him believe that this method can defeat you, the representative of [Order], and me, the [Child of Desire]."

"That proves that the extra ability he gained after losing the vote is definitely related to the building itself. After all, the production team can't just give him a nuclear bomb, can they?"

"So when a person faces the danger of death, when his own abilities are completely inadequate to cope with the difficulties he encounters, he will inevitably reveal his weaknesses."

"Because he only has one path to take—"

"That is to use extra abilities to escape."

At the same time as proposing this plan.

Wu Wang also warned the witch in a serious tone.

No matter how close she was to the other contestants, no matter how much she trusted any one of them.

When taking action, one must not show any hesitation; in fact, one must strike with absolute killing intent and icy coldness.

At the very least, they need to feel this unwavering determination to kill.

They'll really believe that the witch or Wu Wang is the real culprit and is now preparing to attack them.

Otherwise, if the "victim" realizes that the witch didn't really want to kill them...

Perhaps the real culprit will take a gamble, preferring to risk serious injury and death rather than reveal their extra abilities.

This would not only cause the plan to fail, but could also lead to an even more difficult predicament for everyone.

The witch could also tell.

While the widow was referring to all the other contestants, she was actually just reminding herself not to hold back when facing "the world".

Because the world is also a smart person.

If she were the real culprit, she might be able to guess Wu Wang's plan from the slightest flaw.

At this point, the witch even thought that Wu Wang had roughly deduced who the real culprit was.

Only the final verification step remains.

When she asked the question, "How did you determine the identity of the real killer?"

Wu Wang gave a simple and blunt answer—

"I'm not sure!"

"I plan to beat everyone up."

"This is my golden spirit!"

After the witch sighed helplessly, she reluctantly agreed to the plan.

Because theoretically, this is indeed feasible.

With the advantage of the "live map", they can instantly identify the current location of other players.

Then, the witch used some kind of power of "order" that seemed to involve laws.

The team, consisting of two contestants and one guide, was divided into three different areas within the same room.

It's like briefly placing them on different layers.

This is why the Mongolian top laner and the Shadow suddenly found that their teammates had disappeared.

Of course, the witch can't do all the work by herself.

Although Wu Wang said that he was suffering a backlash from using some kind of power before, he was not as powerful as the witch imagined.

After all, the power of her eldest sister, Wu Qing, was something she couldn't use herself.

However, he still allowed the witch to hand over a very few contestants to him for processing.

This explains the ghostly attacks against the Mongolian top laner and the coincidental absolute dominance against the Shadow.

Wu Wang knew he could win against these two with a decisive advantage.

The most difficult part of the whole plan was not whether the real culprit could see through them.

The real challenge lies in how to make the other players feel the pressure of death without actually killing them.

After all, Wu Wang's ultimate goal was not to wipe out everyone.

The witch herself is absolutely dominant against any opponent in a one-on-one situation.

The oppressive death she brought was self-evident.

She could easily tear apart the combat armor of [the World], and naturally, she could also make a star with enough power to destroy most of a city only graz its opponent, leaving them severely injured and unable to resist.

Just as humans do possess the power to easily crush an ant, they can also control that power to just grab the ant without crushing it.

The witch's control over power is unparalleled, especially when the power difference between the two sides is too great.

As for the fall of Wu...

He used the "Prophet's Eye" to predict three seconds in advance and decide on the "method of the crime".

Do you remember when you "killed" Youying and finally stabbed Xiaochuan through his body?

Did Wu Wang raise his sword and gesture several times before finally choosing the throat position?
This is because he can see things in advance through the "Prophet's Eye".

If the head is pierced, Shadow will truly be killed, but piercing other parts will not give the opponent that feeling of being infinitely close to death.

Finally, he saw the words that pierced his throat.

This guy will be severely injured to the point of near death, but he will still have a sliver of hope.

The real problem is that since the Shadow is a spirit, the points it chooses must be just right.

Otherwise, it would be like the Mongolian top laner from before.

This effect can be achieved by simply piercing the torso with a sword.

When these two contestants were on the verge of death, they had no choice but to give up or take a desperate gamble.

This actually proves that they are not the real culprits.

Because they really had no other means.

Then, the witch will use the power of "order" to hide them away, and begin to heal their wounds so that they don't continue to deteriorate and die.

To be honest, Wu Wang and the witch weren't very lucky either.

They kept "killing" until the very end, and only the two real culprits, Fellow Daoist, Please Stay and Shadow, remained undetected.

The witch almost thought that Wu Wang's plan had gone wrong.

Fortunately, just as the witch was about to "kill" the fellow Daoist, she managed to stop.

He finally revealed his weakness.

Faced with an overwhelming sense of oppression that he could not resist, the witch possessed a strange power that made it impossible for him to counter any of her methods.

When the stars pronounced his death sentence.

Fellow Daoist, please wait. You can only grit your teeth and take out a certain item.

He vanished into thin air in front of the witch, escaping from the [Order] space she had confined.

She went to the room where she was now hiding in a way that she could not understand at all.

Clearly, this is not something that Fellow Daoist, Please Stay, can do on your own.

He did this by using the power of the building itself.

Just as Wu Wang said—

People always reveal their weaknesses when facing death.

The real culprit couldn't possibly be risking being killed, clinging to an extra ability that clearly offered a chance to escape, and gambling that he could defeat the witch, this ultimate monster.

If he could really win, then why would he need to awaken the life of any building?
Therefore, when the real culprit uses abilities that are not his own, the witch can naturally detect the abnormality immediately.

She saw it clearly—

The teleportation item used by the opponent was a diamond-shaped gem.

It was a diamond-shaped gap that appeared on the back of every corpse's head.

Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment, the real culprit is right here!
But just like the witch complained before.

This plan is too malicious.

Even if the real culprit is caught, those contestants who almost faced death will definitely be unhappy. After all, they genuinely knew nothing!

He was inexplicably beaten up and hasn't woken up yet!
But it was precisely because the underhanded tactics were unexpected by everyone.

That's why Wu Wang was able to skip directly the step of deducing how the corpse was killed.

They forced the real culprit to be exposed.

It's as absurd as in a mystery anime where, when faced with a case, the famous detective doesn't try to deduce the real culprit but instead points a gun at all the suspects and threatens to shoot them on the spot if they don't confess.

Admittedly, all of this is possible only because of the existence of "super power".

As the representative of the Venerable One who was forcibly summoned into the dungeon after the dungeon's cooldown was broken.

Ultimately, this was a special favor that "Order" secretly gave to the witch.

If it weren't for the anomaly of Wu's demise...

Then [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] wouldn't care so much about this instance, and [War Lord] wouldn't cheat because of the bet.

These setbacks should never have happened.

The game's difficulty shouldn't be this bizarre at all.

The witch should be able to easily defeat everyone in the instance, and then use the "Appointment" to get more rewards from "Order".

Therefore, the opponents she was matched with were all people she could easily crush, or even teammates who were related to her. This was supposed to be a free win situation.

Of course, the most helpless person right now is our real culprit—

Fellow Daoist, please wait.

Upon entering the building, compared to the perfunctory identity announcements of others, [the situation was quite different].

He not only gave a detailed account of his identity as the real culprit.

They also placed a rhombus-shaped gem on the table for him and explained its function and the secret to activating the building.

To be honest, he was quite flustered when he first found out that he was the real culprit.

After all, the abilities displayed by the witch and the widow were simply too powerful.

Fortunately, the abilities granted by the rhombus-shaped gem gave him some confidence.

Why was he able to silently kill NPCs in different locations at the start of the game when everyone was gathered together?
This is because this thing initially offered two capabilities—

[Sensing the movement of NPCs inside buildings], [Changing spatial connections within buildings]

His method of assassinating the first two NPCs was also very simple.

When the first NPC was alone in the basement, he took advantage of the time when he was exploring the environment with the others in the lobby.

He reached his hand into a drawer, seemingly groping for something inside.

In reality, it uses diamond-shaped gemstones to change the spatial connection of the drawers.

The drawer door led to the basement door.

Opening the drawer is equivalent to opening the door to the basement NPC.

Then throw in a remotely controlled, one-time-use clone item, kill the NPC, and start setting up the scene to create the Flesh Angel.

Unfortunately, he wasn't very lucky either.

When planning to use the same trick again to silently kill the second NPC.

This NPC happens to be changing the clock tongue in the castle environment.

The sudden opening of the door caused the heavy clapper in her hand to fall to the ground, making a noise.

Everyone rushed upstairs.

Fellow Daoist, please stay. It's impossible for you to linger here alone in front of the drawer in the hall, slowly exploring it.

He could only forcefully use the bell tongue to smash the other party's skull, retrieve the rhombus-shaped gem, and then restore the spatial connection to its original state.

However, while the group split up to search for the body in the attic...

He realized another hidden rule in the game—

The nightmare only says that a vote must be taken whenever two corpses appear, but it doesn't say that no more killings are allowed before the vote.

In other words, if one can kill more people in a short period of time.

The voting time is getting closer and closer, and the time left for others to reason is becoming increasingly tight.

There's even a possibility that people might have to vote for the real culprit multiple times within an hour.

That way, you can quickly gain a variety of additional abilities.

Coincidentally, the Mongolian top laner had previously pointed out that there used to be a butler in this building.

However, fellow cultivators who know the whereabouts of all NPCs inside the building know that, in reality, only the guide is still alive.

That butler wasn't hiding; it was just a smokescreen put out by the game itself.

In order to mislead everyone's suspicions towards the non-existent butler.

He boldly chose to attack the players.

After all, if you keep targeting the guide, it's easy for others to think that the real culprit is a contestant who is deliberately picking on the weak.

Even when choosing a target, Fellow Daoist, please stop and think it over again.

As the only person who can find clues about the steward, the Mongolian top laner certainly cannot kill him; he needs the other party to find more clues about the steward to mislead everyone.

The creatures in the instance are very resilient and don't seem like they could be assassinated quickly in a short time.

Only players of the Spirit Disaster can overcome any obstacle, no matter how powerful their various strange and powerful items are.

Human beings are still fragile mortals, and with proper planning, it is very possible to kill the opponent instantly before they can use any items.

In the end, he chose gummy bears.

He and the other person had been interacting for many years during the Civilization Competition, and they were among those who had spoken quite a bit.

He was relatively less wary of the gummy bears.

Sure enough, thanks to the other party's friendliness, he felt a sense of belonging to what he perceived as being on the same side in the competition of civilizations.

Fellow Daoist, please wait. He was assassinated very easily.

But the other party was, after all, a level 30 player, and in the end, they still managed to make a bit of a commotion.

So he used some kind of tool that could control corpses to remotely control the gummy bears in an attempt to continue misleading the public and exaggerate the power of the real culprit to make it even more terrifying.

Unfortunately, Wu Wang saw through his scheme.

They even eliminated the housekeeper, their best excuse, during the voting process.

This powerful ability to connect things also made Fellow Daoist, please stay—

The longer the time drags on, the more likely this "Saint of Desire" will uncover his methods.

Therefore, he could only try to improve efficiency.

Fortunately, after losing the first vote, he gained an additional ability—

[Change hazardous materials inside a building]!
After all, the players have no way of perceiving the dangers in other people's environments.

This extra ability is like killing someone without them even realizing it!

After the group was divided into teams, he suggested that Shadow and he explore the edge of the map together.

After all, the other side's house is a haunted house.

The outside was filled with the clamor of vengeful ghosts.

While probing the outside world, it also makes it convenient for fellow Daoists to linger and take action.

He secretly connected to the space in the hall and killed the two remaining guides!
The method is much simpler than the first time.

He directly transformed the sofa where the two guides were sitting into a monster with a gaping maw.

This is a danger in the Predator Colosseum environment.

The two unsuspecting guides were swallowed whole by the monster.

Yes! The notification for the second vote was due to the deaths of two guides in the hall!
It wasn't a fake death caused by Wu Wang's side, since no one was actually killed there.

The plan was going well, and so far there had been no suspicions.

Perhaps if he loses the second round of voting, the extra abilities he gains will be enough to give him a run for his money against the witch.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly went crazy!

With the determination to annihilate all the competitors, they crushed him with unparalleled power.

Having confirmed the other party's murderous intent, Fellow Daoist, you had no choice but to change the spatial connection and escape.

After all, if we don't leave now, we might really get beaten to death in the lobby!

"It just so happens that the president of the Tarot Club has gone mad and is killing indiscriminately. All I need to do is find the surviving contestants, shift the blame onto her, and eliminate her. The strongest obstacle will then disappear!" Fellow Daoist, please wait! You still harbor such delusions.

In his view, given the deaths of so many people, as long as he could escape this round of voting, he would be fine.

They will receive a variety of additional abilities.

That basically secured victory in the game!

The witch's madness is almost divinely inspired! Everyone else will surely believe she's the real culprit!

He was completely unaware that he had fallen into Wu Wang's carefully laid trap.

Wu Wang's appearance not only disrupted the witch's identity as the main character in the dungeon.

It has also changed the gameplay experience of every game!

As for the other contestants in your imagination, they are all still unconscious and unable to get up.

When he decided to look for other surviving players.

Suddenly, I noticed something unusual through the rhombus-shaped gemstone—

All the NPCs are gathered together.

They are all standing at the door of their rooms now.
