Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 468 I am the bait, I am the culprit, I am myself

Dongdong——dongdong——

The sound of Captain Ryan and the elf Legolas running could be heard from outside.

They were somewhat worried as they watched the widow sitting blankly on the lab bed after she woke up.

After all, this experimental treatment was too hasty and reckless.

When the memory ore power was first extracted and adjusted before being injected.

The monitor on the control panel exploded.

If Legolas remembered correctly, his monitor could detect a mental energy level of around 150 Hz.

(Z is the unit of measurement for mental power used by the Elven race. One Z is equivalent to ten points of mental power for a player in the Calamity.)

In this situation, it appears that the monitor could not withstand the immense mental energy and collapsed on its own.

However, the initial monitoring showed that the widow's mental energy was almost completely depleted.

Legolas could only conclude that the power extracted from the memory ore caused the monitor to burn out.

Surely it couldn't be that the widow herself has such strong mental power?

Of course, this unexpected event meant that they were unable to monitor the mental state of the survivors in the early stages of the experiment.

We can only judge whether his mental energy has overflowed by looking at his vital signs.

Twice during the journey, their vital signs dropped to zero, which made them extremely anxious.

However, whenever Legolas intended to interrupt the experiment...

This guy's vital signs inexplicably recovered, and the recovery was so good that it didn't even seem like a case of severe injury.

Instead, he seemed like a healthy person full of energy.

They could only conclude that it was a brief shock and a brief resurgence of energy before recovery.

Surprisingly, this kid actually pulled through.

That wasn't a final burst of energy before death!
But this guy doesn't seem to be in a good state right now.

Damn it! Could it be that his brain has been damaged during treatment?!
When the two rushed into the experimental chamber.

Just then, I saw Wu Wang roll off the bed.

He grinned and said, "Let's go. I know what you want to do after healing me, you miracle doctor! Legolas! You're so good!"

Legolas was a little bewildered by the unexpected praise.

It can be taken as the widow's excitement at being saved by him.

"By the way, since you're extracting the power of memory ore, do you have any experimental projects related to split personality?"

"After all, if someone suddenly has memories from the ore in their brain, who knows what kind of personality might develop?"

Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and asked.

Legolas shook his head and said, "No, apart from you this time, all the other test subjects are criminals. Whether they develop personality splits or have brain problems is none of our business. We can just replace them with another test subject when they die."

Wu Wang: "..."

There seems to be no problem.

Damn it, this godforsaken place has absolutely no sense of humanity or reason!

Criminals don't even have human rights!

He still has no idea what to do about the strange sound he heard.

To be honest, this situation is indeed very similar to Charlotte's predicament.

But Wu Wang felt that he shouldn't have developed a split personality!
After all, the other party had developed problems because they had been under high pressure from the Abyss God's pollution for a long time, and their mind was constantly tense and unable to recover.

However, his mental energy was contaminated and depleted, and he could recover by dying once.

Wu Wang didn't think he was under any much pressure!
How could someone with a split personality happen to them?

Wu Wang just thought about it carefully again.

Charlotte's memory may not even include the room she was in.

That was just a memory palace he had constructed in his mind.

Or rather—a prison of memories.

He imprisoned all his personalities in that room to prevent them from escaping and taking control of his body.

The crux of the problem lies here—

Wu Wang never saw his other personality from beginning to end.

Only that ethereal voice appeared from time to time.

Whenever I try to find it, the sound disappears.

Moreover, this situation only begins when you enter the instance and are in a special room.

Furthermore, considering the special circumstances that the Devil Prison itself is favored by Charlotte.

Rather than believing that he developed a second personality at that exact moment, Wu Wang prefers to believe that it was some kind of mechanism triggered by the special room.

Unfortunately, all the criminals who had previously stayed in the special room were dead.

It is impossible to verify whether they experienced similar situations.

The fall of Wu will not shake its resolve.

I will always be me.

"Really? You think I don't exist?"

"Wu Wang, I am your friend."

"It's me, it's you..."

Just as he followed Ryan and Legolas out of the experimental chamber and walked away.

That voice appeared in Wu Wang's ears again.

This time the distance seemed even greater, as if the experimental chamber was right behind him, and Wu Wang could see the person he was looking for sitting there as soon as he turned around.

However, he completely ignored it.

They walked resolutely towards the door.

呲——

The laboratory doors were completely closed with the help of a hydraulic system.

The place returned to its deathly silence, the room waiting for its owner to return under the 24-hour continuous lighting.

About a minute after Wu Wang and the others left.

bang-

The malfunctioning end effector of the monitor suddenly broke off and fell to the ground.

On the dim, completely broken display screen that Legolas considered to be completely unusable, a string of characters flashed by as if it were a fleeting moment.

[0 Hz... 1 Hz... 0 Hz...]

Then the screen went completely off, plunging into an eternal darkness that never lit up again.

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.

Ryan quickly led Wu Wang to District 17.

We analyzed the current situation together on the way.

Of course, the more Wu Wang listened to Ryan and Legolas's analysis, the more he felt that these two guys had a rather wild imagination.

Where did this mastermind come from...?

Isn't this all something I did by myself?
“Just now, while you were receiving treatment, I received a report from the guards in District 17 that someone claimed to have seen elves traveling with others in this area.”

Ryan's tone was somewhat serious: "At a time like this, I don't need to elaborate on who those elves wandering outside are, do I?"

The Elf Research Lab has been completely overrun.

Moreover, elves would never even approach areas where criminals are normally detained.

Clearly, it was an elf whose body had been taken over.

Legolas, still somewhat unwilling to give up, said, "What if it's one of the few that slipped through the net? We should consider that possibility, shouldn't we?"

Perhaps this elf wasn't even in the research lab when it fell?

Then he would very likely escape unscathed.

However, Ryan whispered, "I'm sorry, the person he's with is a dwarf."

This time, Legolas fell completely silent.

Okay, so it really was a possessed elf.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, no elf would be willing to partner with a dwarf.

Similarly, the dwarf must have been a prison guard who was replaced. "By the way, if I have the chance, could I experience that kind of experiment again?"

Wu Wang no longer cares about things he already knew.

He even controlled the elves and dwarves.

He is now more concerned with whether he can achieve another leap in his mental strength.

But Legolas shook his head and said, "It's impossible. In fact, the treatment just now was in its final stage, and the extracted ore power could no longer stimulate your spiritual power."

"I suspect that the repeated stimulation has made you resistant, or that the mineral's effect only stimulates mental strength below a certain level. Once your mental strength recovers to a level above that, it can no longer work."

Hearing this, Wu Wang nodded with some regret.

Sure enough, there's no limit to how much you can get something for free.

Resistance is probably nonexistent; the power limit of the ore is probably around two thousand mental energy.

Otherwise, if they could infinitely stimulate the expansion of mental power, these elf researchers would probably have created countless mental monsters long ago.

Oh, it's hard to say.

After all, the ability to expand one's mental energy when it is abundant, forcing the brain to reach its limit, seems to be something only someone who can immediately come back to life after brain death could do.

This time, his mental strength skyrocketed from over a thousand to over two thousand.

Wu Wang was already very satisfied.

To be honest, there are probably not many players among the Spirit Disaster players who can shake Wu Wang's soul now.

Even when facing some mental items that aren't particularly powerful.

He could probably withstand it head-on.

“I need you to do two things now—first, contact the possessed elf and see if you can lure out the mastermind; second, carefully sense which dwarves are hostile to you and help me identify which of them have been replaced.”

He heard Ryan's instructions to him.

Wu Wang subconsciously said, "I'm still a serious criminal, so all the dwarves must be quite hostile towards me, right? Like you, don't you really want to beat me up?"

Ryan: "..."

It seems there's no problem.

But I think my desire to beat this guy up right now has nothing to do with his status as a serious criminal.

"Just kidding, it's just about identifying clones, right? Let's go."

Wu Wang is now sensing the location of each clone.

After half a day of exploration.

He has thoroughly determined the structure of the entire Demon Prison and identified potential problems.

This area is divided into 30 zones.

The players and the area where they entered the instance, Zone 18, were located in the very center.

Beyond these 30 existing areas lies an endless expanse of unexploited mining caverns.

Like the mines that Wu Wang visited before, which were still being mined, each area has one or two such mines.

But it is clear that their mining operations are only the tip of the iceberg.

The Demon Prison was larger than Wu Wang had initially anticipated.

There are three areas that the dwarf prison guards cannot access.

First, the area ahead of Zone 1.

There seemed to be absolutely no guard there.

However, whenever Wu Wang controlled the dwarf prison guards to approach, a "not enough permissions" message would ring in his mind.

Then you will be inexplicably teleported to the entrance of Zone 1.

Wu Wang suspected that if they continued walking forward, they would reach the area where the warden was located.

Ordinary dwarf guards certainly don't have the authority to see the warden.

Secondly, there are those unexploited areas.

These places are heavily guarded.

A large number of dwarven prison guards strictly guarded every entrance to the unexploited area.

They also cooperated with each other in their actions.

Wu Wang could not find an opportunity to possess and replace someone who was alone.

Finally, it turned out to be a very strange place.

This is the place he traveled to this time with dwarves and elves.

That's a door.

A very strange door.

When Wu Wang controlled the dwarf to approach, he instantly lost control of the body.

When he commanded the others to rush over, he was shocked to find that the dwarf who had been lying in front of the door had disappeared.

Finally, he found the other person in the corner where the dwarf was on guard.

They also discovered that the black boy clone inside the other party's body had disappeared.

He could no longer control the dwarf.

Recalling the situation carefully, before the dwarf lost control, Wu Wang vaguely heard a sentence: "Leaving conditions do not match. The identity of the person approaching has been detected as a prison guard. The staff member has been sent back to his post."

Analyzing this sentence, Wu Wang made a judgment—

This door is the passageway out of the Demon Prison.

After all, this is just a workplace for dwarves and elves, and they may live here for a long time.

But it is absolutely impossible to stay in prison forever to perform one's duties.

There have to be times when we can have holidays and go home.

After searching for a while, Wu Wang discovered that there was one such door between every two zones.

Strangely, there was absolutely no one guarding the exit passage.

It's clear that the warden, the creator of the Devil's Prison, had considerable confidence in this defense mechanism.

As for the so-called "mismatch of conditions," Wu Wang suspects that it may also be some kind of identity verification, or that the person who went there was wrong.

So, he secretly brought an elf over to give it a try.

I want to see if I can open the gate using my identity as an elf researcher.

Unfortunately, it failed in the end.

He also lost control of the elf, and it is estimated that the little black child inside him was also erased.

Ryan and Legolas are unaware of these matters at the moment.

Wu Wang suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Since they want a mastermind behind everything, then I'll give them one!

If Ryan really caught the so-called mastermind...

He must leave it to the warden to decide, right?

In this special situation, if we report it before resolving it, Ryan and Legolas will be unforgivable; but if we resolve it, capture the perpetrators, and then report it, we will be great heroes who relieve the warden's burden.

Who knows, they might even be able to claim credit for it.

After all, the warden must know more or less about the other important figures who were causing trouble in his prison, and he might even be able to guess who had instructed Legolas before.

But no one can guess who the so-called mastermind is.

Therefore, the warden would be curious.

That would be a good opportunity for me to get in touch with the warden.

We can't put all our eggs in one basket with Oink.

"Report! The elf and prison guard who just sensed something amiss are ahead."

As Ryan and his group approached the area, a prison guard who appeared to be rather short, even among dwarves, came over to report the situation.

However, before he could respond...

Wu Wang, who was standing next to him, spoke up.

“I suggest you arrest him. I’m referring to the person who reported to you; he’s the one with the problem.”

A grand drama, directed and acted by the actors themselves, is about to unfold.

The participants, Wu Wang and his ilk...
