Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chattering——

The vines that had already pierced Baili Dao's face and were almost touching him suddenly stopped, unable to move no matter how hard he tried to push forward.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the lower part of the vine extends all the way to the parasitic cow's eye socket, where it is wrapped around a shimmering golden chain.

That familiar skill and voice.

Overjoyed, Baili Dao shouted, "Boss! You're back!"

The next second, a Xie Zhi, wielding the Sword of Damocles and dressed in plain white, descended from the sky.

brush--

As the sword flashed, everyone felt the weapon that had just pierced the parasitic bull's neck become lighter, and the obstructive feeling during the slashing was gone.

Looking again, they were shocked to find that the bull's head had rolled to the ground.

The vines that had grown from its eyes also fell limply to the ground, like fish that had been pulled ashore, struggling and thrashing about.

Clearly, this is a parasitic seed that has lost the life-sustaining nutrients of its host, showing signs of wanting to emerge and release pheromones in order to make itself easier to be swallowed by other creatures again.

Seeing this, the bearded man immediately took out a prepared sealing device from his backpack.

With swift hands and eyes, the bull's head was inserted into the container, and the knob on top was turned to extract the internal air, instantly creating an oxygen-free, sealed environment.

As the struggles of the bull's head inside the transparent sealing device subsided, it was estimated that it would calm down completely soon.

Everyone was relieved.

Then he looked at the Xie Zhi with delight.

Indeed, no one expected that at such a crucial juncture, the Xie Zhi would actually rush back to Mingyang City from the capital.

It's important to understand that if even a third-tier city like Mingyang has seen instances of players failing to complete a dungeon three times, then other first- and second-tier cities with more dense populations are likely experiencing the same situation.

Logically speaking, the capital should be extremely busy right now.

The Xie Zhi understood their thoughts.

He smiled slightly and said, "I'm the head of the Mingyang City branch. How could I abandon my brothers? Cheer up, there are still plenty of parasitic monsters waiting for us to deal with!"

The crowd raised their weapons high and shouted spiritedly—

"Good! Slaughter them all!"

"Hahaha! This is it!"

The Xie Zhi is like the backbone of everyone.

Everyone felt at ease when he appeared, as if a continuous source of power was welling up from the depths of their hearts.

The team's morale soared to new heights.

One person was left to guard the cow's head inside the sealed device until it completely decomposed, while the rest of the people immediately followed the Xie Zhi to attack the other parasites.

The battle continues.

On the deck of a cruise ship in the distance, the sea breeze made Wu Wang's trench coat flutter as he leaned against the cold white railing and gazed at the city.

It's as if a frame from an old movie has been frozen in time.

The black trench coat, made of a fabric that appeared as soft as a baby's skin, gently kept out the biting sea breeze. Its tailoring was also extremely understated, with only the flowing, waterfall-like lines and the perfectly balanced shoulders and waist telling the story of its masterful design.

The surroundings were noisy, with the howling wind and crashing waves, and in the distance, the sounds of battle explosions and the buzzing of swarms of insects echoed.

But all of this seemed to fade away the moment it touched him.

The fall of Wu was like a quiet and self-sufficient isolated island.

"Tsk, the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs is still too conservative. If you ask me, I'd say they should just dig a deep pit at the entrance of the dungeon passage, let those bugs fall in when they come out, and then throw grenades in. Or, since the surrounding residents have already been evacuated, what's wrong with using some weapons of mass destruction? I don't believe they don't have any. They could just bring over some small missiles and saturate the dungeon passage!"

"At worst, try stuffing things into the dungeon passage the moment the dungeon creatures appear."

"If possible, let's tip the other side of the dungeon world with a few missiles first, and send a rocket to liven things up."

"Sure enough, everyone's moral standards are still too high. They are afraid that the war will affect the normal lives of the residents, so they are careful about the scope of the destruction."

Before he opened his mouth to speak, he maintained the elegance of a melancholy nobleman.

The moment the complaints started, the atmosphere was completely shattered.

This prompted Wu Xiaoyou, who was standing not far away, to put her hand on Mary's shoulder and complain:
"It's a waste of the clothes you prepared for him. I'm so sorry, my brother is a wild boar and can't eat fine bran."

The night clothes Wu Wang was wearing when he came over had been forcibly stripped off by the three people on the boat.

Mary specially prepared an expensive yet understatedly luxurious outfit for him. Coupled with his handsome face and perfectly sculpted physique, he should have been able to pull off the look perfectly.

Unfortunately, Wu Wang had a mouth.

Seeing this, Mary didn't feel sorry, but smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, this is how a gentleman should be: free, unrestrained, and a little arrogant."

"Second Miss, are you satisfied with the dress we prepared for you?"

Wu Xiaoyou was also wearing a custom-made evening gown, looking elegant and poised, just like a daughter of a wealthy family.

Hearing Mary's question, Wu Xiaoyou nodded repeatedly and said, "I am satisfied, but is this really okay?"

She was referring to the fact that while the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs was engaged in a fierce battle, her group was merely watching from the sidelines on the cruise ship, appearing somewhat indifferent and even cold-hearted.

Even though he and his younger brother are also quite powerful fighters!
“Sir, you must have your reasons for doing this,” Lilith, who was carrying tea, said as she stepped forward.

Perhaps it was because I overheard their discussion.

Perhaps Wu Wang saw the Xie Zhi's court expanding throughout the city and felt that the battle situation had stabilized with the guy's return.

He turned around and walked back.

He took the tea Lilith offered, tilted his head back, and gulped down a large mouthful. The expensive tea on the cruise ship made him feel like he was rinsing his mouth.

After smacking his lips, Wu Wang added, "It doesn't taste good, it's flat."

That almost made my second sister laugh in exasperation.

You're not drinking sparkling water, of course your tea won't have any fizz!

It would be a miracle if you were angry!

After finishing his tea, Wu Wang explained, "In this battle, neither you nor I can attack the insect swarm."

"There are three reasons. First, this city defense battle is attracting a lot of attention. We've fought with that 'crying-faced weirdo,' and he remembers us. Who knows if he's been secretly observing us? What if he notices something and finds out we're in Mingyang City?"

"Secondly, regarding the changed future, we should not be too personally involved for the time being."

"Third, I need to analyze the mechanism of dungeon invasion from an outsider's perspective. I believe that the opening of the dungeon passage today is not the end."

After saying that, he smiled at Mary and Lilith and said somewhat apologetically, "So, I'll leave the rest to you two beautiful ladies."

Neither I nor my second sister made a move.

This doesn't mean Mary and Lilith won't take action.

After all, in some ways, these two dungeon bosses are also an invasion of reality; their fight against the parasitic monsters is at most just an internal conflict among the dungeon creatures.

Even if the "crying face monster" notices Mary and Lilith's presence, he won't delve too deeply into their origins.

After all, there are now dungeon creatures trying to invade various parts of reality.

Especially considering the locations of those single-player instances, it's likely that invasions have started occurring all over the world after failures, and Mingyang City is no exception.

As for raid dungeons...

In the first place, a complete wipeout is required to constitute a failure, and most missions have several days of planning time. Normally, even if the entire team is wiped out, it's after a considerable amount of time, thanks to players sticking together and supporting each other.

In addition, a certain number of people must be gathered each time before a team dungeon can be officially started.

It's difficult to seamlessly transition to the next raid after failing once.

It's only been a week since the open beta started, there simply isn't enough time for a team to fail more than three times in a short period of time.

At least, it's not available in China.

As for the current chaotic and troublesome situation abroad, it's possible that there are a few raid instances where unlucky players keep getting lost in them; who knows? "It's my pleasure to serve you, sir."

"I will carry out your instructions with the utmost devotion."

Mary and Lilith said so.

They had also been keeping a close eye on the battle situation in the city, and now the insect swarm was almost reaching the beach.

Just as Wu Wang had predicted.

The cow-patterned cat, Little Hill, is indeed incredibly alluring to them, to the point that no insect has yet been found to be hunting alone, escaping the insect swarm.

Each of them was eager to swallow the unripe fruit as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the free time, Wu Xiaoyou suddenly asked Wu Wang, "I understand the first and third points, but what is the second reason, what does 'changed future' mean?"

Hearing her question.

Wu Wang explained the future he saw after coming into contact with the Northern Wolf.

When she heard that there might be tens of thousands of casualties in Mingyang City, Wu Xiaoyou covered her mouth in surprise.

She could hardly believe that this familiar place was about to be stained with blood, and that the battle would be so brutal.

Looking into his second sister's eyes, Wu Wang said calmly, "Of course, all of this is based on certain conditions for the future—the Bureau of Extraordinary Events does not know the location and exact time of the invasion of the copy creatures."

"Now, with my involvement, the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs not only learned of this information, but also made preparations in advance, allowing a Pyrrhic victory to completely reverse what was theoretically an absolute and unsurprising victory."

"I was just observing what kind of impact this change will have on the future."

"When I saw the deformities in the parasites, I already had some deductions."

At this point, Wu Wang paused slightly, seemingly considering how to describe it.

After a moment, he continued:
"To put it simply, in the original future, the trouble and problems always stemmed from the parasitized insects and the players of the Spirit Disaster."

"Although players infected with the Parasite Seed will not use items or the [Backpack], some players are specifically focused on improving their physical attributes. With the help of the Parasite Seed, their bodies become abnormally strong, and it usually takes several Parasite players of the same level to suppress them."

"As for the parasites that came out of the dungeon passage, they did not pose much of a threat because of their scarcity. In addition, they were conspicuous and could not be hidden, so they were quickly cleaned up by the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs without any cost."

"But the current strength of the parasitic cows and sheep is clearly beyond what I envisioned in the future; their degree of distortion is far greater."

At this point, Wu Xiaoyou understood.

This might be like a patch or fix in some way, where the insect swarm that was supposed to cause casualties was contained.

So parasites that were not originally harmful become powerful, as if they are being forced to recreate the future they should have existed in.

"Unfortunately, this patch was also accidentally filled in." Wu Wang shrugged and said, "Because I informed the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs would also report it, which made Xie Zhi aware of the crisis in Mingyang City. Out of a sense of responsibility, he rushed back overnight and happened to effectively suppress the enhancement of the parasites. It's like the butterfly effect."

"The current patch is just the right amount of time to be broken, because ultimately, neither the Xie Zhi nor the Bureau of Strange Affairs knows what the future will be like, so this is a reasonable future for them."

"Therefore, I don't intend to get involved any further. Now that you know the details, you can't interfere either."

Wu Wang's brain was also working at a rapid pace at this moment, looking at the predetermined and changing future from the perspective of the old fortune teller.

He always felt that changing the future would involve things far beyond what was imaginable.

Now that I've personally tried it,

Wu Wang arrived at a definitive answer—

The key point is actually in the observation.

To be precise, it's about observing how people in the future should act.

[Observation] The more people who foresee the future personally intervene and change things, the wider the scope of the impact will be.

"I understand. I didn't expect there would be so many concerns about changing the future. Brother, it's best to do this kind of thing less often in the future..."

My second sister hadn't finished speaking yet.

Wu Wang then extended his index finger and shook it.

He said in an extremely arrogant tone: "Wrong! This isn't to tell you that the cost of changing the future is terrible, but rather to let us know that the future is not predetermined at all!"

There is no absolutely correct future!

"Everything depends on our decision!"

Wu Wang had always firmly believed in this matter from the beginning; he simply used the incident of the dungeon creature invasion to confirm it.

Of course, his desire to protect the city and prevent the sacrifice of Beilang and others was genuine, but he did not deny that there was an experimental element involved.

It can only be said that Wu still possessed humanity.

But not much.

In the distance, a dark swarm of insects had already surged onto the beach, while members of the Bureau of Extraordinary Events were frantically fleeing and guiding their direction.

But now that we've come this far, there's really not much need for further guidance.

All the insects turned their gaze away from the members of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs and fixed it on the cruise ship across the azure sea.

A black and white calico cat was perched on the deck railing, licking the fur on its paws and glancing over casually.

To these insects, it was as dazzling as a beam of light in the darkness that could illuminate the sky, and it would trigger the instinctive reaction of the parasitic seeds no matter where they fled.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The black and white cat slowly raised its middle finger.

bass--

The sharp claws at the tips of the raised fingers popped out.

The other members of the Bureau of Paranormal Affairs couldn't hold back any longer and started speaking into the microphone—

"Damn it, am I seeing things? What do I think is a cat giving us the middle finger?"

"These bugs release hallucinogenic pheromones? That's unbelievable."

"That cat has such a smug expression..."

"I really don't know what kind of owner could raise such an ill-mannered cat."

"..."

Of course, complaints are complaints.

The weapons in everyone's hands were not idle. In the open area of ​​the beach, they were even more unrestrained in using grenades and some area-of-effect attack tools.

Seeing this, Wu Wang looked at Mary.

This signaled to the other party that they could go and wipe out the insect swarm, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Unexpectedly, Mary did not take any action.

Instead, he said with a serious expression, "Sir, something is not right. The enemy is not just those weak insects."

"Something is rapidly approaching the Mary from the seabed! And it carries a strong hostile intent!"

Wu Wang frowned.

I was trying to figure out what I might have missed, but the more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

Wait a minute! Only this many things came out of the dungeon passage.

Now they're all right in front of me.

The parasites were also held back by the xiezhi.

What else could possibly come? Ultraman Tiga? Does it come as soon as it smells light?
I'm not Gatanothor either!
"Wait a minute, you said that thing is on the seabed? Where did it come from?" Wu Wang suddenly asked.

Mary pointed to the vast sea behind Wu Wang, a place where the horizon seemed to stretch endlessly, where the sea and sky met.

Said word for word:

"South of the sea." (End of Chapter)
