Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 486 Hell is empty, demons are in the world

Inside an old-style residential area in Mingyang City.

The two, Tiancan and Dique, who were lying on the ground, woke up almost at the same time. Wu Wang, with the force that would have killed a normal person long ago, struck them twice more, and they didn't remain unconscious for long.

After all, level 30 players are quite robust. In addition to normal stat allocation, some skills and other things can also improve their physical attributes.

However, as soon as they opened their eyes, they realized the difficulty of their current situation.

Completely immobilized, they looked at Baili Dao and Beilang, who were already armed and on guard, not far away. Di Que asked coldly, "Gentlemen, we don't seem to have offended you in any way, do we? What do you mean by this?"

Look at it from their perspective.

Whether it was the betrayal of Baili Dao and Beilang in the dungeon, or their subsequent rescue and return to the real world, these actions were perplexing.

There's absolutely no reason for it!
Could it be a player they offended before? Or are they both wanted by the police?
Seeing that Baili Dao and the other man showed no intention of answering, Tian Can couldn't help but rebuke them, "If I'm not mistaken, you two are from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, aren't you?"

"If the players on record who have been involved in the Spirit Disasters have not done anything that harms society or poses a threat to the personal safety of members of the Bureau of Paranormal Affairs, shouldn't you be more inclined to observe or even protect us?"

"Isn't this... against the rules?!"

"Aren't you afraid we'll risk everything to report your egregious actions to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs?!"

Although they had been doing business abroad, they were quite familiar with the policies of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs in China.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have returned to China to conduct some suspicious activities on the eve of the public beta.

Because they know it very well.

No matter how much suspicion they are suspected, the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs will not take direct action against them without solid evidence.

After all, capturing two level 30 Spirit Disaster players within the city could easily lead to large-scale casualties among ordinary people and cause serious social disorder panic.

These are things that the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs has been trying its best to avoid.

But now this situation...

This is clearly not permitted by the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

Hearing the two people's doubts.

Baili Dao and Beilang exchanged a glance.

They then said in unison, "This is our personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs!"

Indeed, the way they're tied up now...

There's no way to reconcile anymore.

Time goes back half an hour.

The living room of Wu Wang's house had been uninhabited for some time, resulting in a lot of dust accumulating on the ground. Suddenly, a breeze appeared out of nowhere and stirred up a lot of dust.

Four figures appeared out of thin air.

Baili Dao and Beilang quickly retrieved the binding items from their backpacks.

They first used handcuffs that looked like they were carved from gemstones to restrain Tiancandi's hands.

Then, candles were taken from under their feet and arranged in a special pattern. The candles were connected with red silk threads, and several yellow talismans with the character "定" (meaning "fixed") written on them were pasted on the ends of their limbs.

Finally, he pulled out something resembling an ancient torture device called a "shackle" and firmly locked it around the necks of the two unconscious players from the Spirit Disaster.

There were three different types of restraint tools.

Two are "high-quality" and one is "epic".

Among them, handcuffs can restrict the target's skills, and the exquisite formation called "Trapping Dragon Formation" is almost epic in its effect of depriving the target of action points.

The epic-level [Shackles] were actually taken from the items that Tiancan and Dique had themselves!
Baili Dao and Beilang believed that even if the opponent was level 30 and had no items, they would have no power to resist these three binding items.

Actually, it was thanks to Wu Wang that he gave each of them a hammer blow before he left.

The game will determine that the players are in a state of "unable to make their own choices" when they clear the dungeon. In this way, it will automatically select them to "leave the dungeon immediately" and they will not enter the settlement space.

The rewards and upgrade points earned will be automatically saved to the player's backend, and can be viewed after waking up.

This is also one of the mechanics of the Necropolis game.

As members of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, these basic mechanisms were already written into the induction training of Baili Dao and his companion.

That's why they didn't linger in the settlement space and immediately came out to lock the two guys up.

"Are we really sure it's okay for us to do this? What if they're actually alright, or what if the widow doesn't come out..."

Baili Dao said with some concern.

In his view, even if the two of them stayed behind to help, they couldn't guarantee how long they could hold out against such an almost endless number of enemies.

If there's only one widow left...

To be honest, his final act of kicking the two of them out was almost like a parting message, a way of setting a flag for the future.

What's the difference between this and a soldier going to war saying he'll go back to his hometown to find his fiancée and get married after the war?
You're dead, bro!

Northern Wolf took a deep breath and said, "Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to believe."

Their current behavior is already what blacklisted players would do.

Unjustified restriction of personal freedom

[Stealing or robbing other people's items without cause]

These two prohibitions are considered extremely serious violations even in the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs' operational manual.

Just as Tiancandique had imagined.

They didn't have any solid evidence to take action against him. If it were reported to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, they would most likely face a long investigation and punishment.

But the widow had already gone to such lengths, and their sense of loyalty wouldn't allow them to betray her.

They could only bite the bullet and gamble that the widow could fight her way out of the dungeon.

Immediately afterwards, the two used the living room as a temporary base and even began to set up sentry posts around the house, as well as some small props for defense.

These items are mass-produced props developed by the Bureau of Extraordinary Events, not rewards obtained by risking one's life in dungeons, so using them doesn't feel like a waste at all.

Now, faced with the Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Deficiency bound hand and foot like dumplings, these two from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs were indeed finding it difficult to speak.

"Speak up! What exactly do you want?"

Di Que could no longer bear this kind of passive-aggressive behavior and spoke up angrily.

In the end, North Wolf could only sigh and say, "Sorry, we can't answer any of your questions. Let's wait until another player comes out."

Another player!?

Tiancan and Dique exchanged a glance.

Besides the four of them, isn't the other person in this instance a newbie?

Could it be that Jiang Xiaoming is actually the real master? And how can he make the players of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs obey his commands?

Could it be because we made things difficult for him in the dungeon?
Damn it! If you were so capable, you should have said so earlier! Why did you have to play the fool and deceive us?
Baili Dao and his companion were completely unaware that Tiancan Dique had been mentally corrupted and was beginning to attribute everything to the unfortunate Jiang Xiaoming, who had already died.

Yes, Jiang Xiaoming is dead.

Long before the warden activated the Abyss God's corruption hidden within the Demon Prison.

Having already swallowed the remains and flesh, he was inevitably corrupted and eroded by the Abyss God within his body.

The fate of ordinary people who are corrupted by the Abyss God is self-evident.

Jiang Xiaoming is long gone.

Faced with the two who had fallen silent, Baili Dao and Beilang also silently gripped their weapons, on guard.

The waiting time ticked by, second by second.

Until night falls.

The four of them remained deadlocked.

It has been a full ten hours since we left the instance.

On the surface, Tiancan and Dique were about to burst into curses, their expressions becoming increasingly ferocious, their anger escalating.

They vowed that once they found a way to regain their freedom, they would skin those two low-ranking guys alive!
After all, restraint items always have a time limit. Whether it's handcuffs, formations, or shackles around the neck, Tiancandique deduces that their effective time will definitely not exceed 12 hours.

The reason it takes so long is mainly because the conditions for their effectiveness are extremely difficult to meet.

If nothing unexpected happens, these things will not only be troublesome to set up, but also cannot be disturbed by the outside world during the imprisonment.

In other words, if Baili Dao and his companion were to attack Tiancan Dique now, the restrictions on them would likely become ineffective at an extremely fast pace.

This is why Tiancan and Dique are not panicking now.

They didn't think Baili Dao and Beilang could kill them in one blow; in fact, if they did, it might allow them to escape earlier.

If they really did lead the two of them through the game, then they probably got most of the items that were confiscated, right?

Haha, who said that everyone in Mingyang City, under the leadership of Xie Zhi, is a loyal and courageous member of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs?
Aren't there two unscrupulous players here?

Just as Tian Candi Que was still fantasizing about how they should torture Baili Dao and the other two after the item's effect expired.

A strange breeze blew through the living room, immediately alerting the four people.

call--

The next second, a beautiful figure appeared out of thin air, her waist-length, cascading black hair making her even more charming.

Her appearance startled the four of them. "Holy crap? Who's this?"

Before Baili Dao and Bei Lang could even explain their identities, they smelled a delicate fragrance and felt a chilling weapon pressed against their necks.

A cold, emotionless voice came from behind him: "Where is the widow?"

You should know that Wu Xiaoyou, the second sister who usually seems a bit silly and cute at home, used to support the family by earning rewards for cleaning up blacklists on postmen's mail.

She presented herself as two completely different people in front of Wu and in front of others.

Now that they realize the players from the other instance have returned, but Ah Di is not among them, what is revealed is the bloodthirsty and violent killer, Higanbana.

Faced with this sudden attack, Baili Dao was about to fight back when he discovered that two blood-red doors emanating an ominous aura had appeared out of thin air around him.

They are getting closer little by little.

Upon hearing the words "widow," the wolf next to him immediately realized it was a misunderstanding.

They began by proving their identities in the simplest terms possible.

"We're from the Bureau of Extraordinary Events!"

"He's here to help the widow! He wants us to keep an eye on these two until he leaves the instance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow slowly floated out from Bei Lang's shoulder, forming the shape of a white fountain pen, and quickly wrote on his clothes—

They didn't lie.

After all, the spirit of the pen had seen Baili Dao when Wu Wang went to the ruins of Yinyuan Village, and knew that Baili Dao and Wu Wang were not enemies.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaoyou finally removed the [Forgetful River] from their necks.

The blood-red door slowly disappeared from the sky.

This scene relieved Baili Dao and his companion, but it also made Tiancan Dique, who was not far away, realize that this was a rare opportunity to escape!

Because neither Baili Dao nor his companion knew that the living room actually had two dungeon passages.

Therefore, her position happened to be at the edge of the formation.

The moment Wu Xiaoyou appeared.

He kicked off several of the array candles without bias, an act that was considered to damage the structure of the prop, which also caused the binding effect on Tiancan and Dique to quickly become ineffective.

However, before they could even sense the resurgence of their abilities...

Then they saw a splash of blood red appear before them.

The blood-red door that had just disappeared reappeared and slammed directly towards their faces.

For some reason, the two clearly felt that some of their skills were already usable, including escape techniques, but they were completely unable to activate them.

It's as if once you're locked in by those two doors, you're bound to be photographed no matter what.

"Rule-based items!"

The thought immediately popped into their minds, and their expressions turned bitter.

How did they end up with such a rare item during their most desperate time?
They don't actually have any skills that can escape the lock of rule-based items. As for the items... they're all still with Baili Dao and the other two.

Could it be that Heaven is truly going to destroy me?
pop- pop-

Thus, amidst two sounds that made one feel a pang of pain, Tiancan and Dique, without much resistance, were slammed against the wall by the blood-red door as if being swatted like flies.

After fainting again, he slid down the wall and lay motionless on the ground.

In the moments before she fainted, an extremely subtle message was transmitted silently, so much so that even Wu Xiaoyou and the ghosts on her body were unaware of it.

The content consists of only three words—

Jiang Xiaoming!

This was something that Tiancan and Dique thought Wu Xiaoyou intended to kill to silence her, and they had already sent out this message as her dying words.

Those who receive this message will spare no effort to find out Jiang Xiaoming's background and help him get revenge!

We'll be waiting for you in the underworld!
Of course, the fact that Heaven and Earth are incomplete remains unknown.

Jiang Xiaoming had actually been waiting for them in the underworld for a long time, and they'd probably already drunk the Meng Po soup by now...

Seeing Baili Dao and Bei Lang hesitate to speak, Wu Xiaoyou frowned, picked up the unconscious Tian Can and Di Que, tied their hands and feet with rope, and asked in confusion:

"Weren't you supposed to be watching over them by the widow? Why are there so many props?"

"You two cut off their hands and feet, then squat next to them with hammers, knocking them unconscious every time they wake up. Is that so hard?"

Having said that, she aimed the [Forgetful River] in her hand at Tiancan and Dique's hands and feet, seemingly looking for the right angle to strike.

Baili Dao and Beilang: "?"

Whether you can actually do it or not is another matter, but with the kind of suggestion you're making, it's hard not to suspect that you're a repeat offender!

Could you please consider our status as members of the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau? In a sense, we're part of the police force! Please don't do this kind of thing in front of us, okay?
Stop it, sister! There are Jackie Chans everywhere outside!

As expected of a widow's companion?

This kind of advice is something only a widow would say!

As righteous men under the command of Xie Zhi, Baili Dao and Bei Lang were already deeply troubled by the fact that Baili Dao had just violated the rules of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

They could never have imagined such a horrific method of guarding them.

Just as Wu Xiaoyou was about to strike, a strong smell of blood filled the center of the living room, accompanied by a strange gust of wind.

call--

A blood-soaked figure appeared before the crowd.

A large, dark red cloth wrapped him from head to toe, making it impossible to discern his face or even his eyes.

The moment he appeared, thick blood began to slowly flow on the ground.

The dark red cloth robe was completely stained with blood, and even now, a large amount of undried blood was still dripping down the edges!

His entire being exuded an aura of danger.

swish—swish—

Baili Dao and Beilang immediately pointed their weapons at the man, trying to identify him.

However, the next second this guy pointed at the Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Deficiency in Wu Xiaoyou's hand and asked in confusion:
"Why didn't you cut off their hands and feet? They're high-level players, after all. What if they have some special skill and manage to escape? Cut off their hands and feet, grab a hammer, aim it at their heads, and smash them the moment their eyelids twitch. Is that so hard? Safety first!"

In that instant, the air in the living room fell into a deathly silence, with only the sound of blood dripping onto the floor echoing.

Baili Dao and Beilang: "..."

Okay, no need to identify anymore.

Now we know who it is.

Hell is empty, and all the devils are here on earth! And there's more than one devil!
With a complicated expression, he put down the weapon in his hand.

They felt it necessary to report to their superiors that the widow and his companions, and possibly his teacher Yan Shuangying, had some kind of latent violent tendency or mental illness.

In the future, be mindful of this when dealing with them, and avoid provoking their faction.

"Don't you feel bored like this?"

The moment Wu Wang appeared, the second sister's eyes no longer showed worry for him, but only heartache for the dirt that had been spilled on their floor.

If there weren't outsiders here...

She had already reached out and twisted Wu Wang's ear, forcing him to take off what wasn't even clothing and deal with it.

Then go to the bathroom, take out the floor cleaning supplies, and wipe the floor thoroughly.

Don't make your home look like a murder scene!

However, after understanding the implication in his second sister's words, Wu Wang did not take off his blood-red robe, nor did he even remove the cloth strip wrapped around his head.

Instead, he said earnestly, "Take it off later. Something came up on my end, and it's not convenient for me to show my face right now."

He then turned his gaze to Tiancan and Dique and said softly, "I want to deal with their problems first, which might involve some underhanded methods. Are you two going to lend a hand, or just watch? Or leave and pretend you know nothing?"

These words were clearly meant for Baili Dao and Beilang.

The two righteous men from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs exchanged glances, and after a moment, sighed:

"The two of us... can just watch."

At this moment, the two of them clearly felt that they had not done anything wrong, yet they inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu as if they had fallen into the demonic path.

Because they both knew very well.

The methods used by the widows, which cannot be brought to light, are probably more cruel than imagined.

But things have come to this point, and we were sent by the bureau to monitor Tiancan and Dique, so we couldn't just leave without getting any information.
Is this considered colluding with someone in the wrong...?

They were too lazy to think about it, and they didn't dare to think about it.

Seeing their decision, Wu Wang didn't ask them to leave. He simply said slowly, "Then please help me close the door. Also, if you have any props that can block out ambient noise, please use them. I know the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs must have something like that."

“It might be a bit noisy next, and I don’t want my neighbors to think I’m slaughtering a pig in my house.”

"They're crippled, aren't they? Very well, they'll soon live up to their name."

"What should be crippled is crippled, what should be missing is missing."
