Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 523 The pressure is no longer on me.
"This contestant's method of suicide has already appeared twice during last year's auditions. Although it hasn't appeared yet this year, it's still too old-fashioned."

"It's just old wine in new bottles. The fashion show has been going on for so many years. It's a bit unreasonable to say that any form of suicide has never been used."

"Yes, yes, just like that law enforcement officer during the day. His suicide was strong in its intention, not in the way he died. Otherwise, stabbing his body with his hand would be too outdated."

"To be selected or to be eliminated? That is the question."

"..."

The night was growing deeper.

The audition site was still bustling with activity.

After all, the audition would continue until midnight.

The men in suits on the judges' panel continued their debate.

Alexander, sitting in the corner, took it all in.

He watched coldly without saying a word.

Because in his view, arguing about these things is not very meaningful.

I studied Yan Shuangying's deeds when I was in the Tower of Order.

There is no doubt that this is a powerful player, and his methods are endless.

Most importantly, when Yan Shuangying appeared before people, he was already a tutor who called himself the holy son of the "Lord of Desire Sea".

According to the analysis within the [Tower of Order] think tank, this so-called Holy Son of Desire is most likely the spokesperson for [Lord of the Sea of ​​Desire].

As his teacher, no one has come forward to refute this fact to this day, so it is most likely a true one.

Alexander did not believe that the natives of the Eternal City could truly defeat Yan Shuangying on the main stage.

Yes, he had even more confidence in him than Yan Shuangying herself.

That is, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Therefore, Alexander will allow Yan Shuangying to advance all the way.

Until finally advancing to the finals of the "Suicide Show".

That's when he'll have his own outburst, causing a little mishap to prevent Yan Shuangying from winning the real title of suicide champion.

Of course, this is under the condition that the other party has endless tricks up their sleeve, and can even fake their death in front of the whole city without being noticed.

Alexander's accident certainly didn't kill Yan Shuangying.

He certainly didn't want to make an enemy of such a powerful player.

What he needed to do was actually simpler—Alexander was prepared to protect Yan Shuangying!

This is supposed to be a suicide show!

No matter how strong you are, the standard for judging a champion will always be suicide.

As long as he was at the finals, Alexander would quietly use certain props to protect Yan Shuangying, preventing him from actually faking his death on stage.

Therefore, he will inevitably lose in the end.

At that time, no matter which resident of the Eternal City wins the championship, Alexander will have the ability to make them obey his commands.

Once you hold the [Eternal Pass] in your hands, whether or not to give it to a heretic is entirely up to you, isn't it?
Wu Wang and Wan Shitong were right.

Alexander did indeed come into contact with heretics.

The explosion at the audition site was also an act by the heretic to gain his trust.

As for what exactly was done...

Only Alexander himself knows the answer.

"Hey, honey, still at work? It's so late, aren't you going home for dinner? I'm getting impatient waiting at home."

Just as Alexander was envisioning the future.

A sudden voice came from the side.

He turned his head and looked closely, only to find a stunning blonde woman with long, wavy hair raising her eyebrows at him.

"Who? Me?"

Alexander was momentarily stunned.

Unexpectedly, the other person slowly leaned closer and whispered in his ear:

"You're seen as a loving husband and family man by others, you wouldn't pretend not to recognize me at a time like this, would you? Be careful your player identity gets exposed."

Upon hearing this, Alexander's lips twitched.

He knew who this guy was.

It turned out to be the know-it-all in disguise!

The key point is that what the other party said is actually correct.

In the dungeon, Alexander's initial identity is that of a wealthy and powerful corporation president in the Eternal City. He has a wife with an enviable figure and outstanding looks, and for many years he has presented himself as a loving husband and family man.

However, Alexander discovered all this information while investigating in his own home.

In reality, he had never actually met his nominal wife. After some investigation, Alexander discovered that his wife in the clone had actually decided to go into hibernation ten years ago.

The conditions for her awakening should have been known to no one but herself.

Alexander would not choose to wake his sleeping wife.

The reason is simple—the other party is actually a heretic.

Clues found in the copy indicate that when Alexander discovered the incident, he did not immediately report his wife to the law enforcement.

Instead, he discovered that his wife was actually terrified of being active in the city as a heretic.

The threat of being discovered and arrested by law enforcement at any moment was like a Damocles' sword hanging over her head.

This kept his wife awake almost every night.

Subsequently, Alexander used his enormous wealth and connections to arrange for his wife to go into hibernation without arousing anyone's suspicion.

Because no law enforcement officers will check on those who have already fallen into a dormant state.

He also promised his wife that when he woke her up, it would be the time when she could appear openly in front of everyone.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the existence of this dungeon background.

Alexander received a hidden quest as soon as he entered the instance—

【Forever Lost My Beloved: Report your dormant and defenseless wife to the law enforcement. Successfully completing this mission will earn you the absolute trust of a large number of Eternal City residents.】

[A World of Ruins: Continue to conceal the truth that your wife is a heretic, and find a way to awaken her, take her away, and hand her over to the heretical organization. Successfully completing this mission will earn you the trust of the heretical organization's leader.]

This is clearly a hidden quest where you have to choose one of two different main storylines for this instance.

Alexander was still hesitating about what to choose.

After all, both of these main storylines have the potential to lead to the end of the [City System].

Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

The former is easier to make initial contact with, but will definitely suffer from the invasion of heretics later, which is equivalent to defense.

The latter, although difficult to make initial contact with, once the exact location of the [City System] is pinpointed, then you can simply launch an attack.

The idea is that there is no absolute defense in the world, and the best defense is actually offense.

In addition, there was the moment when the heretical organization took the initiative to approach him.

Alexander had already made his choice.

He would choose to awaken his wife and bring her to the heretical organization.

The challenge now is how to wake the other person from a dormant state without being noticed by others.

Unexpectedly, the know-it-all transformed into the appearance of his dormant wife to cause trouble!

How did she find out about this?
If she really confirms her identity, how am I supposed to explain that I have another wife who is in a dormant state?
Alexander immediately stood up, and with a smile on his face, bowed to the other judges and said, "I apologize, everyone, I have to leave early due to family matters. I believe that with your discerning judgment, you will be able to select the best suicide contestant."

No one stopped him.

To put it bluntly, Alexander's judgeship was bought with money.

It's the same with or without him.

Alexander then quickly pulled the know-it-all away from the crowd.

After the two returned to Alexander's residence, he closed the door and began to reprimand them sternly:
"What exactly do you want! Didn't I already tell you the clues about the [Eternal Pass] during the day? Why are you still trying to sabotage and ruin my [identity]! And where did you find out what she looks like?"

However, the know-it-all who was disguised as his dormant wife turned into a puddle of mud.

This is clearly another clay figure she created. The know-it-all wouldn't personally do such a dangerous job that requires him to be in the public eye.

Immediately afterwards, the radio on the table in Alexander's residence suddenly turned on.

The know-it-all's voice came from inside:

"Gathering information is my job, but the focus right now is not on me."

"If you reveal that the wife of a judge on the 'Suicide Show' is a heretic, and that you've protected her for ten years."

"Do you think you'll still have a chance to be a judge again and get involved with the [City System] you've always dreamed of?"

"Perhaps, at that time, both the residents of Eternal City and the heretics will ostracize you."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell completely silent.

Alexander had assumed he had dismissed the know-it-all with a few words during the day.

Unexpectedly, the reason the other party hadn't appeared for so long was because they were secretly investigating her, and they actually uncovered some incredible things.

So, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go too far. We're competing for [Legendary] items. Do you want to kill me in the dungeon?"

"Can't we just rely on our own abilities? Why do we have to go to such extremes?"

Upon hearing this, the know-it-all chuckled jokingly:

"Isn't it my skill to find out that your wife is a heretic?"

Alexander was speechless.

As an information broker, this is truly her skill.

After a moment of silence, Alexander sighed and said, "What do you want? Let me make this clear first, I can't tell you what happened on the scene today."

Nonsense! If I said that, wouldn't my connections with the heretical organization be completely exposed?
However, the know-it-all sneered after hearing this:

"Then hand over what the heretics gave you, or destroy it in front of me, how about that?"

Alexander: "!!!"

Dude! Why are you stripping me bare?!

So you know everything after all this time, and you're still playing house with me?
This information broker is absolutely outrageous!

Little did they know, this was not solely the work of the all-knowing man; the key lay in the intelligence Wu Wang had obtained about the heretical organization after his previous contact with the White Tower.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the know-it-all is, he wouldn't be able to investigate the heretical organization hidden in the mini-city while remaining a normal resident.

The process of the dungeon is being accelerated at an extremely high speed by Wu Wang without him even realizing it.

Keep in mind, this is only the first day of entering the dungeon!

Under normal circumstances, the identities of heretical organizations, or even the White Tower, should not be revealed so quickly.

It's all because of a guy who entered the dungeon with the special effect of "Attention of All" and obtained the identity of a legendary enforcer.

"Sigh... you know-it-all, you know-it-all..."

Alexander looked extremely troubled.

He sighed and said, "Why do you have to be so ruthless?"

"If that's how you are, then I'll have to be ruthless too."

As he finished speaking, a strange green light suddenly flashed in Alexander's eyes.

The next second, a green light flashed across the mannequin body that had turned into a pile of mud on the ground.

Meanwhile, 500 meters away from his residence, Wan Shitong, lying among the dense foliage of a large tree by the roadside, also inexplicably emitted a green light.

Almost the instant the green light flashed, Know-It-All immediately took out his tools from behind him and prepared to leave.

However, before the props could even be used...

She was shocked to find herself standing in Alexander's house, the fake body on the ground nowhere to be seen.

A cold magic wand was pressed against the know-it-all's neck. The other party said helplessly, "Don't move. I know you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. So if you move your finger even a little, I'll freeze you up immediately and then use my connections to put you in a hibernation pod. I'll pick you up when the dungeon ends."

Faced with this sudden change.

The first thing that appeared on the know-it-all's face was not anger.

Instead, he asked curiously, "What exactly did the heretical organization give you?"

The ability to forcibly switch positions after being located.

It is definitely not some kind of prop or skill.

Because the know-it-all also had passive defensive items, but they were not triggered by Alexander's move.

Or, in the eyes of the all-knowing one, it was less that she herself was forcibly transferred, and more that the small space she was in was moved, and she just happened to be standing in that space.

Given the unique nature of this copy, there is essentially no concept of space in this electronic program; everything is composed of data streams.

Therefore, space swapping should be a change in data flow.

The ability to directly influence data flow is something that the Necromancer player cannot achieve with anything they carry.

Instead, it relies on some kind of bugged code!

Alexander shrugged, a chill creeping into his wand, and said, "Sorry, I can't say. I've thought about it, and I think you'll have to get some sleep first."

"The pressure isn't on me anymore, so you'd better watch yourself."

call out--

A beam of light shot out from the tip of the wand.

This illuminated the luxurious room located on the top floor of the Eternal City.

A moment later, there was no more sound in the room.

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.

Inside a super-large factory in the Eternal City.

Sakura sat down in front of her teammate, Huixin.

She had already found out about the lancet. Luckily, the other party wasn't foolish enough to actually commit suicide to test the dungeon mechanics.

Now, Yingluo has dragged him back by the ear.

Unfortunately, the location of the red cinnabar was still not found.

She had also explained the details to Huixin.

The other party's current identity is that of an artist, and this factory is a place for creation, which is convenient to use as a secret base.

The two were discussing how to complete the dungeon's mission.

Huixin's expression suddenly changed.

He frowned and said, "Sister Ying, there's a problem. My web detection system has detected a strange signal."

Weaving nets is one of Huixin's skills.

Its function is simple—it can sense whether a marked person is alive or dead.

Yes, it can't even locate itself; it can only sense whether something is alive or dead.

Because of its simple effect, its markings are extremely difficult to detect.

Even before entering the instance, Shi Xin had already quietly marked everyone.

"What? Who died?" Yingluo's tone was somewhat tense.

After all, she knew very well that what Wan Shitong and Yan Shuangying were doing was far more dangerous than what she was doing.

If one of them dies...

That would be a huge loss...

Unexpectedly, Huixin shook her head, her expression becoming even stranger, and said:

"No, it's not too little, it's too much."

"My web shows that there is now one more player with the mark on their body from the Calamity."

Ying Luo: “?”

What do you mean by "one more person came out"?

Once the instance is ready to open with a sufficient number of players, where will other players from outside the Spirit Disaster be able to enter?

Holy crap, what's going on with this dungeon?!
