Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 401 I'm here to die!

Wu Wang examined it carefully.

The rectangular stone in the campfire was indeed a tombstone. I wonder if the guy buried under it can sleep at night. Dancing on this grave is really noisy.

The girl not far away gradually stopped dancing and walked towards Wu Wang.

Seeing Wu Wang sitting in the chair looking unwell, she walked behind him with a concerned expression and placed her hand on his lower back.

The soft, boneless fingers applied just the right amount of pressure, gently massaging the spot where Wu Wang had pretended to have strained his back.

The girl said softly, "I can only alleviate your discomfort a little. I suggest you go see the doctor on the island later. He is very skilled and can help you recover quickly."

However, Wu Wang's gaze remained fixed on the campfire.

He simply pointed and asked:
"Whose tombstone is that in the center of the bonfire? Why are we holding the celebration here? You said you wouldn't hide anything from us, right?"

Upon hearing this question, although the girl's expression was not visible, her hand, which was massaging Wu Wang's "twisted" waist, paused slightly.

This also made Wu Wang realize that he had asked the right question.

After only two breaths, she continued to gently massage.

He uttered something that almost made Wu Wang lose his composure—

"Yes, I will not hide or deceive you in any way. That is the tombstone of a man named Jiang Sze, who chose to pass away this morning."

"At the same time, he is also my father. My name is Jiang Rou."

No sisters! I saw you dancing the most enthusiastically than anyone else just now! Were you having a rave on your own dad's grave?!

Wu Wang really wanted to open his mouth and give a good rant.

But she suppressed a twitch at the corner of her mouth and continued to press, "What do you mean by 'choosing to pass away'? Was it really not because of an accident?"

"And you're jumping around on your own father's grave... and throwing us a celebration, isn't that a bit impolite?"

From the first time he saw this seemingly well-behaved and gentle girl on the white sand beach until now, he has never seen any sadness in her eyes.

Logically speaking, one's emotions would be affected to some extent by the death of one's father, right?

Could it be that this man treats his daughter very badly? That's why Jiang Rou has no feelings for him at all, and even feels some disgust towards him?
But what was the girl's next answer?

This also made Wu Wang realize that this seemingly beautiful island harbored a chilling secret—

"Because this is a happy island, there are no accidents that will kill you. Only if you choose to die can you go to the island's doctor for euthanasia."

"It just so happens that you two are joining Happiness Island today. I believe that if your father were still alive, he would be genuinely happy for you. So I'd like to invite him to join the celebration. Is there any problem?"

goo-dong-

Her words made Wu Wang swallow hard.

What does it mean that there are no accidents on this island that could lead to someone's death?

Thinking of this, Wu Wang subconsciously picked up a fork from the table next to him.

While the people around him were still enjoying the joy of dancing, and the girl was sitting behind him and couldn't see what was happening, he quietly pressed the fork against his neck from the front.

No surprise?

Then I'll create an accident!
I'm fucking dead!

However, to his surprise—

The fork, which was originally sharp enough to easily pierce and secure meat, became strangely soft the moment it touched his neck.

It's like the plastic knives and forks used in some prisons to prevent inmates from stabbing others.

Even softer than that!

It's just like a sponge!

Wu Wang couldn't even leave a scratch on his skin.

But this is clearly a metal product!

When he aimed his fork at the food again, picking up a lamb chop was as easy as ever.

"Okay, that's all the massage I can do for you. As for the doctor, just walk to the end of this road and you'll find his clinic."

Wu Wang looked in the direction the girl was pointing, and there was indeed a path overgrown with weeds.

He looked at the fork in his hand.

He slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Is this the only doctor on the island? I don't think many people have gone to him for treatment. There are so many weeds on the road."

The young girl, Jiang Rou, replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Of course, after all, the happier people here are, the healthier they are. How could something as bad as illness happen to us?"

"The clinic was only established because you hadn't yet adapted to this happiness when new people joined, and you would occasionally get hurt and need help."

"So, having one doctor on the island is perfectly sufficient."

Wu Wang stood up, supporting his back.

He glanced at Jiang Rou, who was about to go back to dancing, and asked:
"Do you... really feel happy? Including what your father went through, was he a terrible person?"

The other person shook their head without hesitation.

“Of course not! My father was a very gentle and intelligent philosopher! He loved me and he loved this island.”

“Since he has chosen this path, it proves that it must be the happiest choice for him. As his daughter, I am also happy to support my father’s choice.”

These words sent a chill down Wu Wang's spine.

Whether analyzing the other person's tone of voice, micro-expressions, and heart rate, or judging directly through a sudden realization.

Jiang Rou didn't lie!
Did she truly feel happy and joyful about her father's death?

Is that really the case...?

After thinking for a moment, Wu Wang lifted his leg and walked towards the dancing crowd, pulling out Liu Qiang and Liu Yanfang, two blacklisted players who were dancing happily.

"Hey, Yan-ge, what are you doing? The girl next to me and I were practically jumping up and down and hugging each other." Liu Qiang said somewhat discontentedly.

In response, Wu Wang grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said, "I've discovered a hidden exploration area. Don't you want to become a Spirit Disaster player? Then come over and learn more."

This was a clever remark, and Wu Wang knew that the other party would definitely follow.

Since Liu Qiang and Liu Yanfang are not ordinary people, they must know that there is likely more valuable information hidden in more concealed areas.

As expected, Liu Yanfang immediately spoke up, pretending to scold her son, saying, "Qiangzi! Stop making trouble! Didn't Boss Yan say from the beginning that we should follow him and just listen to him?"

Liu Qiang naturally followed suit, bowing his head as he went downhill, though inwardly he was overjoyed.

I didn't expect that someone would take me to explore the hidden area so easily.

Sigh, Yan Shuangying, you were just used by me. You're nothing but a person with a hollow reputation!

Led by Wu Wang, the three of them walked towards the overgrown path, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Since there is a doctor there who specializes in receiving newcomers to the island, Wu Wang definitely wants to go and see him first.

Perhaps that's actually the guiding NPC that players really need to encounter!
Bringing these two blacklisted players along will also let them experience some pitfalls.

Just as the three figures were about to disappear from Jiang Rou's sight.

Wu Wang's voice suddenly drifted over—

"Jiang Rou, if you are truly happy, then why aren't you wearing an olive wreath?"

Just as Jiang Rou was about to go back to dancing, she looked up and shouted in the direction of Wu Wang, explaining why she wasn't wearing a flower wreath.

"That's a gift for the newlyweds..."

But before she could finish speaking...

Wu Wang interrupted him, saying—

"Is it because you've worn it before? Or... are you worried that it won't bloom if you see it?"

After he finished speaking, his figure was completely hidden by the tall weeds that blocked his view. Only the rustling sound could be faintly heard, indicating that the group was still walking forward.

Jiang Rou, however, remained standing in place.

He did not immediately refute Wu Wang.

She stared blankly at the overgrown path, a faint smile still on her face, but it looked somewhat forced no matter how you looked at it.

A moment later, she rubbed the corner of her eye.

Her smile returned to its bright and sunny state.

He muttered to himself, "Of course I can make the olive wreath bloom! Father said I was the happiest child!" "I absolutely can... I'm sure I can..."

"Can...can I...?"

After a moment of stunned silence, she shook her head, trying to clear her mind of these irrelevant thoughts.

Return to the dancing crowd.

However, her dance steps became a little stiff after that, and her gaze kept drifting towards the tombstone in the center of the campfire.

It is said that every family has its own problems.

However, Jiang Rou had hidden a book in her home.

What she didn't tell Wu Wang was that although she felt happy for her father's choice, she also believed that he was happy too.

But as his father lay dying, tears streamed down his face, and his expression was one of deep sorrow as he wailed.

That was the first time Jiang Rou had ever seen that expression.

She is different from others.

Jiang Rou was born on this island.

Therefore, she was born to be happy.

I also believe that I must be happy!
But his father's strange expression was like a mosquito buzzing in his ear when he was sleeping on a summer night; just when he thought it had disappeared, it would inexplicably reappear in some unseen place.

It disturbs my peaceful sleep, making it impossible to fall asleep.

And the little flower bud on Huo Miao's head symbolizes the happiness index.

It was so delicate, so dazzling, so...enviable at that moment.

Unbeknownst to him, a habitual question he posed caused a young girl in the prime of her life to question the very existence of Wu Wang.

The further you walk, the more you can feel the desolation around you.

It was completely different from the exquisite buildings that resembled various resorts and the lively crowds singing and dancing there.

The path looked like it hadn't been tended to for many years; towards the end, he even had to reach out and push aside the weeds that were taller than a person to continue.

Finally, after a short while, at the end of the road, a rather large-scale building came into view...

Um... a clinic?

To be honest, Jiang Rou was being a bit too restrained. This is no clinic at all!
Everyone looked up at the large hospital, which included various functional floors such as outpatient areas, medical technology departments, and even inpatient wards.

Wu Wang felt that even the First People's Hospital of Mingyang City, where his home was located, was not as big as this place.

"Holy crap, is this island some kind of top-tier hospital?" Liu Qiang exclaimed, looking utterly dumbfounded.

After hearing Jiang Rou say that there was only one doctor in the entire hospital, Wu Wang could understand why the road to the hospital was neglected.

I bet this guy is too busy even with the cleaning work inside the hospital.

He even saw that most of the building's exterior was covered with a thick layer of moss, and densely covered with vines similar to ivy.

Follow the signs to the location of the outpatient clinic.

Wu Wang pushed open the heavy hospital door.

creak-

The door hinges, which had not had their lubricating oil changed for a long time, emitted a screeching sound.

A cloud of dust rushed in, choking the eyes. It seemed that not only had the place been neglected for a long time, but even the doors hadn't been opened in ages.

Before everyone could even take a good look at the interior of the first floor...

A calm voice came from deep within the clinic: "Please leave. Everyone here is in good health and doesn't need to come to a place like this."

Are you trying to play the "hear the voice before you see the person" trick with me?
Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and took a step forward, walking deeper into the area.

He casually exclaimed, "Wow! A miracle doctor! You didn't use any of the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation) and you diagnosed us as soon as you opened the door?"

"What if I have a mental illness? You can't tell just by looking at it, can you?"

Seeing him quicken his pace as he spoke, Liu Qiang and Liu Yanfang reluctantly followed.

I was cursing under my breath.

Why can't you tell someone is mentally ill at a glance? You look like one now!
Where would someone start provoking an NPC right after they've even met them... oh, before they've even seen them?
They followed Wu Wang all the way in.

Before long, they arrived at the only door with the lights on. Looking up at the three large characters "Psychiatry Department" above, the two people besides Wu Wang felt even more troubled.

It really is a psychiatric ward!
"Hey, Brother Yan, how about we..."

Liu Qiang also planned to remind Wu Wang to take things slowly and discuss how to contact the NPCs inside.

After all, the other party's actions were far too reckless.

Even if this is a "simple" dungeon, constantly provoking and taunting NPCs can still lead to disaster.

No matter how simple it is, it can't stop some people from deliberately making the difficulty level a death wish!
However, before Liu Qiang could finish speaking...

The knocking sounded at the door.

dong dong dong-

Wu Wang chuckled and said, "Is Xiao Xuan here? Is Xiao Xuan here? I didn't see any staff, so I didn't register. Is that alright?"

There was silence behind the door.

About three breaths later.

Then came a weary sigh: "It's alright, no need to register, please come in."

Upon hearing this, Wu was doomed, and there was no room for politeness.

With a snap, the door was flung wide open.

I saw a young man sitting behind an office computer. He had regular and clean features and slightly high brow bones.

His skin was pale, even slightly sickly, as if it were always under the illumination of a shadowless lamp.

The white lab coat was spotless, with a dark blue pen and name tag pinned to the collar, clearly printed with—

Shangguan He, Associate Chief Physician

Before the other party could speak, Wu Wang said first, "Your hairline is a bit too healthy, and you're not bald yet. I doubt your medical skills."

These words caused the other person's lips to open slightly, but they couldn't utter a single word.

Wu Wang continued, “Your eyelids are droopy, and your pupils were slow to react to light when I came in. Now, look at my fingers and follow them as they move… Hmm, I also suspect you have a bit of nystagmus.”

"Suspected severe sleep deprivation and chronic fatigue syndrome, buddy. How long has it been since you rested? You look like you're barely hanging on by a thread."

"Why don't you go to sleep now, and I'll cover your shift?"

The series of words left everyone stunned. The young doctor even suspected for a moment that the other person was a colleague making fun of him.

But then I thought, I'm the only doctor on this island!

Where did this competitor come from?

He rubbed his temples, turned off the computer screen, and asked in a still weary voice, "May I ask what illness you came to see me about?"

“I’ll say it again, your body is really healthy. I’ve never even seen a body this healthy. It’s impossible for you to have any disease.”

Upon hearing his words, Liu Qiang and Liu Yanfang looked at Wu Wang with some surprise.

This guy's physical abilities deserve such high praise from the NPC?

Could it be that Yan Shuangying is actually a numerical anomaly?
But then, to everyone's bewildered expressions, Wu Wang said, word by word:

"Oh, I'll come for euthanasia."

"Can you arrange this as soon as possible?"

Liu Qiang: "?"

Liu Yanfang: "?"

Doctor Shangguan He: "?"

I may have been a bit arbitrary just now.

This guy's physical condition is fine, but his mental state is a bit of a mystery...
