Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 388 You Have the Appearance of an Old Friend
woohoo-

Dang rang rang rang——

The wind howled inside the villa, causing various objects to bounce around on the ceiling and walls.

The commotion was so loud that Xiaoxiao, who had just returned home downstairs, thought her house had been attacked by other players again.

He quickly grabbed his props and weapons and rushed upstairs.

"How do you..."

But when she pushed the door open from the outside...

It was right in front of the blood-stained door next to Wu Xiaoyou.

The sound stopped abruptly, and the person vanished without a trace.

Wu Wang stiffly turned his head to look at the props that had fallen to the ground after Xiao Xiao was swallowed by the Blood Gate.

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, he retorted, "This... are you coming back for dinner?"

He wasn't too worried about his companion's disappearance.

After all, I've seen my second sister open that door more than once.

Ever since Ethan banished him to the underworld once.

My second sister inexplicably gained the ability to use the Blood Gate.

She was like a ghost messenger walking among humans.

The channels on both sides can be connected at any time.

As expected, Wu Wang complained.

Wu Xiaoyou frowned and opened the door again.

All that could be seen was a blood-red vortex emanating an ominous aura.

She reached in and shook her hand up and down a few times, as if taking something out of a pocket.

A moment later, he grabbed Xiaoxiao by the collar and pulled her out like he was lifting a little wildcat.

However, they were only gone for a few seconds.

The wary and serious expression on Xiaoxiao's face as she emerged from behind the door vanished, replaced by a terrified panic. She was even trembling as if she had witnessed something horrific.

"Oh no, the child has been scared out of his wits."

Wu Wang put away his smile and stepped forward to carefully observe Xiao Xiao's condition.

When his hand touched her forehead, Xiaoxiao jumped up with a startled cry, just like a frightened bird.

After looking around and realizing he was back in the villa, his tense nerves relaxed a bit, and his body went limp as he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing her breathing heavily, the second sister asked in confusion, "Isn't the underworld right behind the door? She's been there before, hasn't she? Why is she so scared?"

After saying that, Wu Xiaoyou was about to step inside to take a look.

Fortunately, Wu Wang immediately stopped her and asked Xiao Xiao, "What exactly did you see inside?"

The other person's breathing was somewhat erratic; after catching their breath slightly, they spoke with difficulty:
"Ghosts... countless ghosts."

"It was like a tide... no, far more than that! It blotted out the sky and blocked the other side of the Blood Gate, trying to get through! The suffocating feeling made it impossible for me to breathe!"

Before Wu Xiaoyou could even ask, there were already a huge number of ghosts.

Shouldn't a high-level player be scared like this?
Xiao Xiao added with a solemn expression, "Those ghosts... are not ghosts from our world!"

"They are all clones! They don't look like humans after they die at all!"

Upon hearing this, the room fell into a deathly silence.

The words "dungeon creature" echoed in Wu Wang's mind, giving him a headache.

There's been so much information coming out all at once today!

Why are there dungeon creatures behind the blood gate leading to the underworld for the second sister?

"Wait a minute... You recognize them as instance creatures, but still think they're ghosts?" Wu Wang suddenly realized the crux of the problem.

Xiao Xiao recalled the demonic dance she had just witnessed, and felt like she had lost a lot of her sanity...

No! It's not a feeling!
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that her mental strength had indeed decreased by one-fifth!

Clearly, some of the dungeon creatures specialize in mental corruption.

"Yes! They are definitely ghosts! Although it was only for a few seconds, I could see the fatal wounds on almost every creature in the instance. Some even had only half of their heads left, and I could see the rotting brain tissue inside!"

"Just like those vengeful ghosts we encountered in the underworld before, who displayed the tragic state of their last moments before death!"

Hearing what Xiaoxiao said, Wu Wang's expression grew increasingly grim.

The words that [Lord of Desire] once spoke echoed in his heart like alarm bells.

If nothing unexpected happens, it seems that the second sister's underworld passage has connected to the underworld of the dungeon world.

And it's not just one instance; it's likely that there are an enormous number of instances, too numerous to count, mixed together in the underworld.

Even someone with no brains could guess what Wu Wang had done.

This likely includes a large number of dungeon creatures killed by players of the Scourge, and it's even possible that the original dungeon worlds they inhabited were also ravaged by those unrestrained Scourge players.

In this situation, if we let them come into reality...

Then we need to announce some good news to the world—

No need to wait until tomorrow for the public beta.

Today, humanity must first face an apocalyptic invasion from another world.

At that time, evil spirits will roam the land, and all living beings will suffer.

Perhaps the message, "My name is Wu Wang. When you see this, I will already be dead," will actually appear on his parchment.

"Second sister, see if you can close these three doors."

Actually, Wu Wang didn't need to say it.

Wu Xiaoyou has already started trying it.

The previous underworld passage felt like an extension of her own body to her.

Just like using your own palms and fingers to make various movements.

She can summon them at will and dismiss them at will with a mere thought.

Now she feels like she's been in a car accident, underwent surgery while unconscious, and had her limbs amputated.

I woke up to find that both of my hands were fitted with prosthetics.

The inexplicable phantom limb pain is as if the limb has its own thoughts.

There is absolutely no way to control their disappearance and appearance.

They could only do their best to keep the three blood doors tightly closed to prevent anything inside from coming out.

Under normal circumstances, even if the door is opened.

Those ghosts from the underworld who did not receive Wu Xiaoyou's permission could not pass through the door to enter reality.

To them, this door is just a door.

Walking across is merely crossing a threshold; it does not create any connection between the underworld and the living world.

But now Wu Xiaoyou can clearly feel—

An unknown force was constantly striking the bolt behind the door, generating impact.

Although it's not very strong right now, its force seems to be gradually increasing.

At this rate, it probably won't be long before it exceeds the power to close the door itself!

"No! I can't turn it off! What on earth was that Alpenliebe I just ate?!" Wu Xiaoyou was practically in tears.

When her brother took that thing out, she suddenly lost consciousness.

When she came to her senses, she was already in this state, and she had no recollection of what had happened in between.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, I'll call some people to help!" Wu Wang quickly switched to the [Yan Shuangying] account to contact the senior players in the Bureau of Strange Events, especially Xie Zhi and Cheng Yong.

These two certainly wouldn't treat this as a perfunctory response simply because they think they're exaggerating.

We will do our best to find useful help within the bureau!

I just don't know if my second sister can hold on until someone capable of solving this problem arrives.

After sending the message, Wu Wang grabbed the [Xiao Chuan] from the table.

Arriving at one of the doors, he grinned and sighed, "Let me in; I should be able to hold out for a while."

Since there's a ghost pushing the door open from over there.

I'll go and fight them myself!
Just let those ghosts stop pushing the door open!
In any case, with the "immortality" buff, they have no way to kill themselves.

If they survive, we'll fight; if they die, we'll survive again and fight again.

Do sit-ups repeatedly, but don't let the ghost scare you into shouting, "I really encountered a ghost!"

At this moment, Wu Xiaoyou, who was pressing her hand against the door, immediately saw through her brother's thoughts.

She said firmly, "You're not allowed to go! I told you... you're not allowed to die!"

Then he turned his gaze back to the blood-red gate, which still exuded an ominous aura.

The veins on his arms were bulging, even under extreme force.

On that exquisitely beautiful face, as if sculpted by God himself, the expression became slightly ferocious.

He said through gritted teeth, each word distinct: "Since it was something I summoned..."

"Then you'd better listen to me!"

Wu Wang, who was about to forcefully push open one of the doors and go in, suddenly froze.

She stood there blankly, looking towards her second sister's position.

As the other person exerted more force and became more focused, golden lines began to appear on the exposed skin of their calves, arms, face, and other parts of their body at a visible speed.

In an instant, Wu Xiaoyou was transformed into a devout saint.

Finally, the energy gathered on top of her head to form a strange crown.

A pair of phantom angel wings also appeared behind him.

It looked as if a flesh-and-blood angel, previously trapped in the [Fragments of the Past], had spread its wings.

However, Wu Xiaoyou's wings were covered in pure white feathers, not that disgusting flesh and skin.

And it wasn't the wings formed from the ribs of a flesh-and-blood angel, but rather a being with a full six wings that trembled slightly.

In an instant, her eyes seemed to lose their pupils.

All that remained were the golden, shimmering patterns that filled the eye.

I said—turn it off!

Xiao Xiao, who was somewhat distracted by the vengeful ghosts in the multiverse dungeon, seemed to have been shocked by something.

He rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.

The patterns beneath Wu Wang's clothes, standing behind him, seemed to respond in some way and began to glow faintly.

His expression was no longer one of genuine laughter.

Because when my second sister shouted out her last words.

He heard something familiar in it.

Just like the divine posture of the [Lord of the Sea of ​​Desire] when he threw himself into the sea of ​​desire in the audience space a few minutes ago.

One could sense an undeniable authority in his voice, as if it were the very essence of divine truth. Though it lasted only a moment.

But Wu Wang felt that his second sister standing in front of him had become unusually unfamiliar.

The strangest thing is—

The aura emanating from my second sister doesn't match that of any Venerable or even Divine Envoy.

In other words, the power she uses has nothing to do with them.

Boom!

slam-la-

A loud crash came from the door in front of Wu Xiaoyou, and then chains covered with golden patterns appeared out of thin air, binding the entire door tightly in the blink of an eye, and there was no more sound of impact.

She looked at the second door expressionlessly.

The moment the fingers touched the door, the same situation as before occurred, causing it to be locked up.

However, just as Wu Xiaoyou was about to use the same method to seal the last door...

She suddenly looked up in the direction of Wu Wang.

Before Wu Wang could react, his second sister had already put her hand on his shoulder.

He suddenly pulled Wu Wang behind him to protect him, and then pushed the last door forward.

At this moment, a figure appeared like a ghost next to where Wu Wang had been standing.

He strolled slowly and leisurely, looking up ahead.

It was precisely covered by the blood gate that Wu Xiaoyou had brought over.

In an instant, it was just like when Xiaoxiao was swallowed up earlier.

Wu Wang had barely seen what the other person looked like before he vanished from the spot.

"Holy crap! Sis, get him out of here! What if he's a helper sent by the Xie Zhi?" Wu Wang quickly realized.

He hadn't expected his second sister to react so quickly.

And that powerful perception was simply unbelievable.

Even the [Sight of Truth] on his wrist hadn't yet seen any new names appear around him.

The second sister had already shielded herself behind her and smashed the door open.

However, after hearing Wu Wang's voice.

Wu Xiaoyou slowly turned her head.

A hint of confusion flashed across those eyes filled with golden patterns.

He looked down at the way he had shielded the other person behind him, then looked up at the blood-red door.

He seemed to be wondering who the person behind him was.

And...why should I protect the other person?

woohoo-

Just then, a paper crane floated in through the window.

The moment they landed, a man dressed in a simple, elegant robe and mandarin jacket, with slightly long hair tied up, a jade pendant around his waist, and cloth shoes, appeared.

The overall decor is simple and elegant, making him look like a scholar from an ancient costume drama who has stepped into the room.

Looking up at Wu Wang behind Wu Xiaoyou, he smiled and said, "This should be the first time our original bodies have met."

"Good morning, win-win. My name is Qin Shusheng, or you can call me [Shutong]."

"By the way, about that time you yelled at me in that hotel room in mainland China, let's have a good talk about that later..."

After saying that, he glanced around the villa room—

A strange woman exuding an ominous aura;
Familiar old friends;
There was also Xiaoxiao, who had collapsed on the ground and seemed unlikely to wake up anytime soon.

Hmm? Where's the person who arrived before me?

Qin Shusheng subconsciously asked, "Wait a minute, did you see a handsome middle-aged man in a short-sleeved shirt carrying a sword come to visit?"

Wu Wang: "..."

I saw my friend, but it seems they were sent on a trip to another world by a door. I wonder if they'll ever come back for dinner.

His gaze also fell on the red door not far in front of Qin Shusheng.

She said awkwardly, "Um... let me explain briefly. This door connects to the underworld of the dungeon world. It seems that the guy you mentioned got locked in without realizing it. I'm trying to get this kind lady to help me get him out."

After saying that, he tugged at Wu Xiaoyou's hand again.

He frantically winked at his second sister, signaling her to release the person quickly.

Although it's unclear why Qin Shusheng was the one who came, it's obvious that he and the person who was just imprisoned were there to help.

If this leads to a death, things will really get messy!

However, upon hearing Wu Wang's words...

Qin Shusheng's expression turned somewhat strange.

He casually picked up a chair next to him, sat down, and said, "You might have misunderstood something. I'm not worried about his safety at all."

"In fact, there is no place in the world that can keep him if he doesn't want to."

"You said he was locked inside..."

"That can only mean that he got here out of curiosity about what was inside the door and went in on his own."

After saying that, he took out a pot of tea from his backpack and started brewing it.

Wu Wang frowned.

Although he knew that Qin Shusheng was unlikely to speak carelessly, such arrogant words were still somewhat worrying.

After all, Qin Shusheng had just arrived and didn't yet know what kind of hell lay behind the Blood Gate.

Xiao Xiao almost lost her senses after only a few seconds.

If we don't rescue them quickly, the situation could become quite dire.

But now, for some reason, my second sister isn't reacting at all.

It seems that this stalemate is the only option left for everyone.

Wu Wang then began to think about how to explain to Qin Shusheng how the door appeared.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Just two or three minutes later.

The final, blood-red door rang.

creak-

The creaking sound was like something out of a horror movie, where the protagonist has finally found a safe place, only to have the door twisted open by something filthy – it was terrifying.

Wu Wang, holding the [Laughing River] in his hand, was ready to start the battle.

What if the ghost that walks out is the one from behind the door?

That means that more and more will keep coming out.

Hopefully, Qin Shusheng will realize the importance of this matter.

However, the next second, a tall and slender figure strolled out from there with an air of nonchalance.

He also politely closed the door and even made a few marks on the door with his sword.

Wu Wang asked instinctively, "Are you... alright? Isn't there a ghost behind this door?"

Unexpectedly, the other party looked up and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, young comrade. Don't worry, I've already killed off what's behind the door for now."

"But they don't seem to belong to the real world, and there's a growing trend of them, so I came out and locked the door."

Having said that, he tucked the sword into his waistband.

He extended his hand to Wu Wang while still smiling and said, "My name is Qinglong."

"You're Yan Shuangying, the one the bureau's been talking about lately, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang's lips twitched.

What do you mean you've temporarily killed everything behind the door?

According to Xiaoxiao, aren't the ghostly creatures behind the door so numerous that they blot out the sky and seem endless?
You've only been inside for a few minutes!

You think you are...

Oh, wait…

Holy crap! Is this guy really the Azure Dragon?!

In the game "Disaster," surely no one would dare to impersonate this name, right?

What's more, he came with Qin Shusheng, the so-called second person in the spiritual calamity.

Oh no, it doesn't seem fake anymore.

To be honest, I witnessed the witch's power in the "Disaster Show," and I even got beaten up by her.

Wu Wang knew very well that his opponent had never shown his full strength from beginning to end.

After all, many players' abilities are restricted in the Civilization Showdown.

After understanding just how powerful the top tier of players in the current Necropolis are.

To be honest, Wu Wang never wanted to encounter someone of that caliber in real life again after leaving the instance.

Not to mention Qinglong, who is widely recognized as the number one person in spiritual disasters.

Wu Wang avoided it like the plague.

There is no other reason——

The Azure Dragon is simply too powerful.

It might be stronger than you imagine.

Wu Wang worried that some of his secrets would not be able to be hidden from the other party's eyes.

But now the other party is standing right in front of me, alive and well.

Furthermore, it displayed a power that Wu Wang could not comprehend at all.

Even Wu Wang, who possessed the mark of the Abyss God and the power of [Immortality], couldn't fathom how the opponent had managed to wipe out all the monstrous ghosts that blotted out the sky in just a few minutes.

This guy... is even less human than me!
Since things had come to this, Wu Wang could only force a handshake and say with a forced smile, "I've long admired your name. We were just about to visit the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs later, but I didn't expect to run into the Director before we even entered. It's truly an honor to have you here."

"This doesn't seem to be your house either," Qin Shusheng said with a sneer from the side.

He had just checked the information and it seemed that the villa belonged to Xiaoxiao.

He had seen this girl before, in the [Anecdotes of the Peking Opera] instance.

In this somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Qinglong's smile remained unchanged.

The next sentence, however, uttered words that sent a chill down Wu Wang's spine—

"I see a resemblance in you to someone I know."

Do you know a player named "Ruthless Immortal"?
