Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 387 What is this? Have a bite!
[Teleporting out of the instance]

[Congratulations to player "Widow #9527" for clearing the Nightmare difficulty solo dungeon - "The Joyful Show of the Necropolis"]

[We're once again announcing this great news in full-screen mode! Let the world witness one miracle after another!]

【Game rating: α】

[Completed the main mission]

[Completed side quests 1, 2, and 3]

[Hidden reward condition met - Anchor point for the Calamity Fun Show]

[Instance rewards and hidden rewards have been issued]

【Please check your rewards in time】

[Summary: From the moment you chose to bring another contestant into the show during the selection rounds, it was destined to be an extraordinary episode. Whether it was your frequent correct flipping in the "Death Match" or your display of human pride and depth in the "Civilization Competition," the audience saw your hard work and dedication. But why is it that the sweat always seems to fall on the other contestants?]

[The final culprit single-handedly changed the entire game's course, even getting the Venerable's descendant to stand up for you. My god, are you really human and not a succubus?]

【Please comment the words you want to announce to the entire server】

The familiar settlement interface popped up.

This time, Wu Wang did not mock the other players.

Instead, after a moment of contemplation, he typed in all the relevant information, such as "[Disaster players are the scalpels of the dungeon world]", "[The open beta will determine whether humanity still has the right to be the scalpel]", and "[The creatures of the destroyed dungeon world may hate the human world]".

This might be the last nightmare-level dungeon that all of humanity will have to clear before the official launch.

Even if there is only a trace of nostalgia in their hearts, or if the eldest and second eldest sisters still have a sense of belonging to human society, they still need to live in this world.

Wu Wang still didn't want this messed-up world and this messed-up human civilization to be destroyed.

Of course, he didn't consider himself superior or see himself as some kind of savior.

Only humanity itself can save humanity, not any one individual.

Wu Wang felt that a certain statement made by the [Lord of the Sea of ​​Desire] was quite true—

"Please take the [Open Beta] and the natives of other worlds seriously."

He hoped that what he had learned from the big boss would slightly improve people's attitude towards the "public beta".

Let arrogant and conceited humans see their own place.

They understand that humans are merely the lucky ones chosen at this stage of the spiritual disaster, not irreplaceable beings.

【Select whether to be anonymous】

Similarly, this time, the question of whether or not to remain anonymous was raised.

He chose a different option than before.

I used to remain anonymous because my low level and frequent attempts at Nightmare difficulty dungeons could arouse suspicion, and as a newly minted player of the Calamity, I didn't want so many people to notice me.

The situation has completely changed now.

Wu Wang needs to establish his reputation as a "widow".

He needed to elevate his status so that he would have more leverage to negotiate when he visited the headquarters of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs later.

[Real-name submission]

[The above is the advice that the player, the widow, offers to all of humanity: please stop being trapped in the information latrine (crossed out) cocoon.]

After sending the message, Wu Wang looked at his personal panel—

[Player Nickname: Widow #9527]

[Player Level: Lv30]

[Available points: 7]

【Strength: 16】

[Physique: 16]

[Agility: 16]

[Intelligence: 11 (fixed value, cannot be increased)]

[Spiritual Strength: 1018 (You have been fighting against a certain kind of mental pollution for a long time, and it is tempering your spirit)]

[Charm: 0 (This system is too lazy to explain the reason, in short your charm value is dropping drastically, and you deserve it)]

[Friendly reminder: A special effect will be triggered when your charm value drops into negative territory]

To be honest, Wu Wang has been a player of the Spirit Disaster for less than two months.

It's fair to say that he reached level 30 the fastest among all players in the Calamity faction, but nobody knew it.

He casually distributed the points evenly among the three attributes, but his agility was a little lacking, only reaching 18.

Of course, these are just the most basic panel data.

In reality, the true attribute values ​​of a player in the Calamity event also need to take into account the bonuses provided by equipment and skills.

For example, the "Soul of Desire" given by the big boss.

Its special effect, "Wine Pool and Meat Forest," can increase existing attribute values ​​by 100%, and this is an independent multiplication area in the final calculation.

In other words, Wu Wang's true attributes should first be calculated based on equipment bonuses, and then doubled directly at the end.

Of course, even without this doubling effect.

His mental strength also far exceeded the comprehension of normal players.

His four-digit mental strength was entirely due to the fact that the mark of the Abyss God would occasionally pollute his brain, keeping Wu Wang in a state of mental training by losing mental energy.

This is probably why other favorites in the past had short lifespans.

After all, their Sanity points can't be restored out of thin air by resurrection once they've been depleted.

"Huh? Wait a minute, what's going on here?"

When Wu Wang finished glancing at the panel and was about to leave the settlement space...

Suddenly, a strange thing appeared on his status bar—

[Divine Feast (Status Unknown)]

Your body contains primal remnants of hope, despair, distortion, and bliss.

This is a deliciously prepared feast, a lavish tribute to the resurrection of the gods.

"What the hell is this?" Wu Wang was full of questions.

How did I become a delicious meal? Who the hell wants to eat me? Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea?
He subconsciously took off his shirt and took out a mirror to check the lines on his back.

They were shocked to discover that the pattern originally ran along the spine, dividing into golden wings and purple jumbled patterns.

At this point, another change occurred—

The golden wings turned into a mixture of gold and black, but the shape of the wings remained the same.

That must have been a whiff of despair that seeped in.

The purple gibberish on the other side of the [Twisted] area was enveloped by a pink pattern resembling a leaf.

That must be what is called "supreme bliss".

When Wu Wang saw this thing, he felt like his brain was about to explode.

He could understand the first three things, since he had come into contact with them and had indeed allowed their power to enter his body.

But what exactly is this "supreme bliss"?

It sounds like the opposite of suffering.

Wasn't the only opposing force I encountered in the previous instance the [Order] faction?

And that was the power of a witch.

He never entered his own body!
Where the hell does your so-called "supreme bliss" come from?

"No, I must have made contact with Him to be targeted by Him."

The lines on my back were left behind by the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] when he planted the [Light of Dawn] on my spine.

Each one is a mark left by a deep entanglement with oneself.

Under what circumstances could one have come into deep contact with the aura of a Venerable-level being without realizing it?

After a moment of contemplation, he came to a conclusion—

"Eldest sister... it's the aura of [Supreme Bliss] that eldest sister carries!"

Wu Wang found it hard to believe.

It was clear that the eldest sister, Wu Qing, had repeatedly warned her never to become a spokesperson for a certain venerable figure.

Then why does she herself possess such a strong aura of a venerable being that even a brief possession by a soul would leave a mark?
Is she the spokesperson for [Zhile]?
Can a soul become a representative of a venerable being?
Does the [Supreme Bliss] deity have no objections?

"A deal? My sister said she made a deal with [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] when her soul was destroyed." Wu Wang's thoughts raced: "The only benefit she gained was that her soul survived, but what did she give up? Could it be that the big boss made her the spokesperson for [Supreme Bliss]?"

Damn it! It would have been best to ask these questions directly to the big boss during the audience.

But Wu Wang knew very well—He would never answer.

Perhaps the big boss will offer some explanation regarding the residue on his back and the so-called "feast of the gods."

But regarding the secret deal with my eldest sister back then, especially the part involving "Supreme Bliss".

A deal between man and God.

The other party will absolutely not offer an explanation.

Just as the eldest sister said, the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] is a rather dangerous being.

Every step He took had a purpose.

I still know too little about the clues regarding the Venerable level.

Making wild guesses without sufficient information will not yield any results.

Wu Wang made a note of this point of doubt for the time being.

I put on my clothes and exited the checkout area.

In an instant, he appeared in a room in the villa. However, from Wu Xiaoyou's perspective, it seemed that her brother had disappeared for several minutes before reappearing.

Upon seeing him, Wu Xiaoyou immediately dropped the potato chips she was holding and went over to him.

He touched her face and patted her back.

It looked like they were checking Wu Wang for any injuries.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they found him unharmed.

"call……"

"You scared me to death! You said it would only take a second! How come it's been gone for so long!"

Looking at my second sister's sullen face and the five large bags of potato chips she had devoured due to anxiety next to her.

Wu Wang scratched the back of his head apologetically and said, "Sorry, sorry, I forgot that the time in the settlement space is synchronized with reality. I was thinking about some things during the settlement just now."

He then briefly recounted his experiences in the dungeon to his second sister.

When the story gets to the part about the eldest sister, Wu Qing...

Wu Wang also took out [Xiaochuan] and placed it on the table.

The second sister's pupils trembled violently.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Compared to Wu Wang, the second sister's feelings for the eldest sister were much deeper.

Because the two of them had relied on each other since they were in the orphanage.

When the list of casualties came out on the day of the plane crash, Wu Xiaoyou felt like her world had collapsed.

It was as if some inner pillar had suddenly snapped.

But after he came back, his younger brother became a madman who wanted to commit suicide.

As the older sister, she couldn't break down in front of her younger brother.

So all I could do was grit my teeth and persevere, not letting myself show the slightest cowardice, and in the pain of feeling my inner pillar crumble, I had to quickly become my younger brother's pillar.

Now that she knows Wu Qing is still alive, Wu Xiaoyou feels as if a barren place deep within her heart has been revitalized.

"Alive...it's good that you're still alive..."

Tears, uncontrollably, streamed down my cheeks in large drops.

Wu Xiaoyou's hand trembled as she stroked the eerie purple blade of the sword [Xiaochuan].

Gently stroking the delicate patterns on it is like feeling Wu Qing's body temperature.

hum-

When tears fall onto the sword.

Both Wu Wang and Wu Xiaoyou could clearly feel the sword humming.

It seems that the eldest sister, Wu Qing, who is sleeping within it, is responding.

Wu Qing's player ID is "Ruthless Immortal".

But the ruthless immortal unleashed a sword imbued with affection.

At this moment, there was no verbal communication whatsoever.

The three siblings are also able to sense each other's feelings.

In this world where the public beta is about to begin and we are about to encounter what can only be described as an apocalyptic event.

They only had each other left.

"Don't worry, Second Sister, I will find a way to truly bring Eldest Sister back to life, not as a soul, but as a living person standing in front of us."

Wu Wang made a firm and resolute promise to Wu Xiaoyou.

This is something he has to do.

The siblings briefly reminisced about the happy family life they once shared.

Only then did he calm down and continue to check the loot from this dungeon run.

A piece of parchment was placed on the table.

Neither Wu Wangyong's [Vision of Truth] nor Wu Xiaoyou's eyes, which could understand Yin and Yang, could see through its clues.

There was nothing recorded on it; it looked like an old antique that had been hidden in a basement for countless years and had been completely forgotten.

But the seriousness with which the big boss handed this thing over to me.

Wu Wang could clearly sense that this thing was not simple.

He had expected that when he opened it, it would contain exciting content such as "My name is Wu Wang. When you see this sentence, I am already dead."

Now, however, nothing has been gained.

Do we really have to wait until the public beta starts to find out what this thing does?

Thinking of this, Wu Wang had no choice but to put it back into his backpack.

He took out another piece of loot.

While reminding Wu Xiaoyou, he said:
"Oh right, we're going to visit the headquarters of the Bureau of Extraordinary Events later."

"Remember to change your clothes. Don't forget the lines we recited earlier. You are still my sister, just the sister of the identity of [Yan Shuangying]."

"We were both summoned by the [Lord of Desire] to assist the [Holy Son of Desire]."

"If anyone else wants to get information about the [Lord of Desire] out of you, just let them come talk to me. I'll name my price."

After saying that, Wu Wang placed the [Fragment of the Past] containing the flesh and blood angel on the table.

After all, the second sister herself can be considered a piece of "ancient fragments".

Of course, I should show this thing to her.

What if we can glean some information from it?

Unexpectedly, before Wu Wang could even ask his second sister if she had any feelings about this thing,

The other party picked it up with astonishing speed.

It was almost a fleeting afterimage in front of Wu Wang.

They just threw it into their mouths and started chewing.

The indestructible, translucent amber crystal crunched like a hard candy as Wu Xiaoyou chewed it.

The flesh-and-blood angel wrapped within, like the filling in candy, had traces of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

This scene made Wu Wang's brows twitch.

He knew very well that his second sister was the kind of person whose hands moved faster than her brain.

But I would never do it without asking myself at all.

It's so stupid to eat an unknown thing that was brought out of the dungeon on the spot.

That can only mean one thing—

She lost control of her body.

Just like when I first obtained [immortality], I couldn't stop myself from seeking death.

The second sister is now also experiencing a situation where she can't control herself from consuming [Fragments of the Past].

Moreover, Wu Wang was very clear about how hard this thing was.

It's estimated that even if you used [Xiaochuan] to chop it, you wouldn't be able to leave any marks on it.

Now, it fell into the second sister's mouth and was swallowed like chewing candy.

Could it be that the fragments of the past have some kind of mutual attraction and devouring effect?

Watching her chew it up and swallow it completely in a few bites.

Wu Wang asked, "How does it taste?"

A hint of confusion flashed in the second sister's eyes.

It seems like they don't know what they just did.

She subconsciously pursed her lips and said, "It's sweet, a bit like the original Alpenliebe."

Her tone seemed to still carry a hint of lingering satisfaction and unfinished business.

The next second, an ominous aura suddenly rose from his body.

thump -- thump -- thump --

A strong, eerie wind swept through the room, swirling debris up to the ceiling.

Three strange, dilapidated, blood-red doors appeared out of thin air beside Wu Xiaoyou and slowly opened.

It was as if they were welcoming her to the underworld.

In Wu Wang's backpack.

A ring of ink began to slowly spread across the parchment that had just been put away.

It's as if some kind of writing will appear in the next second...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, far from the villa where the two were located.

A man sitting in his office drinking Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) with a friend suddenly paused.

He slowly put down the wine glass and grasped the simple longsword in the corner that was almost covered in dust.

Walking to the window, gazing at the sky, I chuckled softly:
"Ha, so eager to bring the public beta to reality with only one day left?"

"That's a bit too disrespectful of me."

"I'd like to see whose child is so ill-mannered."

"Scholar, shall we join you?"
