Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 578 Nothingness and the Tower Master

call out--

The moment the paper figure's gaze met Wu Wang's.

It immediately turned into a pile of dust and disappeared into this space that had been folded into countless layers.

Qin Shusheng's figure also quickly left in the direction of the entrance.

His face showed an expression of disbelief.

"He saw me? That shouldn't be possible!"

“We are in different spatial states. I can only see him through the paper doll’s vision, but why do I always feel that this guy’s gaze not only noticed the paper doll, but also saw me directly behind him?”

"That's weird, that's weird."

If I'm just here to chat with Yan Shuangying, then I don't mind waiting for him to come out of the folded space.

But after all, they had just finished discussing some secret betting agreements and such.

If we encounter this now, it can't be explained by mere coincidence.

After Qin Shusheng completely left this niche monster collection room.

Wu Wang, within the folded space, slowly turned his gaze toward the door he had just walked out through.

"Oh, what a coincidence! I never expected it to be you."

To be honest, paper figures aren't exactly a very distinctive prop.

Some props, such as talismans, can be used to create paper figures.

But among the people Wu Wang knew, only Qin Shusheng could play with this thing to such an extent.

As for how he discovered it, that was indeed a coincidence.

Logically speaking, a paper figure of this small size, hidden behind the display stand and not in Wu Wang's line of sight, should not have been noticed.

After all, the "Vision of Truth" can only reveal relevant information based on what Wu Wang saw.

Therefore, this time it's not thanks to the [Vision of Truth].

The mark on his wrist was vibrating as if it were a witcher's badge that detected a sorceress nearby.

Of course, it's not the [Abyss God's Mark].

Rather, they are the wave-like imprints left by the soul of desire.

What one senses is not the paper figure itself.

Rather, it's the prefix of the name on the paper figure—

【nothingness】!
Qin Shusheng is related to [nothingness]!

That is the opposite of the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord], and also the venerable one that Wu Wang feels is the hardest to find so far.

Because in the dungeon map that [Lord of Desire] gave me, each dungeon passage related to the Venerable had a different color representing it.

But Wu Wang counted them carefully.

The colors above do not correspond to the number of known Venerable Ones.

To be precise, only one is missing.

Wu Wang speculated that it was a copy related to [Void].

The reason for this speculation is that Wu Wang believes that as the boss of the [Desire] Venerable, what He gives must not be able to cover the opposite side.

This also made Wu Wang consider wanting to come into contact with [nothingness].

Perhaps we can find a way to get rid of our desires from the other person.

Unfortunately, he cannot find any copies related to [Void] at the moment.

Even on the forum of the game's app, there wasn't a single thing related to it.

Previously, when discussing business with Wan Shi Tong at the food stall, Wu Wang had actually mentioned this matter briefly.

The answer I received from the other party was—

"No, since the start of the Spirit Disaster game, no one has experienced any instance related to the [Void] Venerable."

"I haven't been able to gather any information about Him either."

"It's as if such a venerable one doesn't exist at all."

The all-knowing person gave that answer with absolute certainty.

This is sufficient proof of the mystery and enigma of the Venerable [Void].

There were originally two inferences regarding Wu's demise—

First, the Venerable One who holds the power of "nothingness" has not yet been born.

Just like the previous [Seed of Despair], it was merely the process of the Venerable One who wields [Despair] being born in [Hope], unlike [Order] and [Chaos] where the two opposing Venerable Ones have already completely confronted each other.

The Venerable One of Nothingness may not yet have reached the opportune moment for birth.

Secondly, He may have already been consumed by desire.

This is a bold conjecture made by Wu Wang when his understanding of the relationship between the Venerables was not deep enough.

However, information subsequently revealed by Gentleman Penguin refuted this.

If there truly is a supreme being who has completely devoured their opposite, then they would have long since disrupted some unspeakable balance.

The world would never be as peaceful as it is today.

Therefore, Wu Wang believes that the Venerable [Void] must not have been born yet.

However, the other party's aura prefix was discovered on a prop.

If we could use something like this...

In other words, Qin Shusheng is the spokesperson for nihilism!
"Sigh, too bad you're too late. I don't have time to face the [Nothingness] anymore."

Wu Wang sighed with some regret.

There are nine days left.

The flow of time in the real world is now synchronized with that in the instance world.

In the next nine days, we still need to use the bronze key to open that secret realm instance to obtain the key item for "When People Leave, the Tea Grows Cold".

There was simply no time to inquire about the [Void] through Qin Shusheng.

Thinking of this, Wu Wang could only leave the folded space with a slight sense of regret, following the path he had come from.

We visited some of the exhibition halls in Wanbaolou that were particularly crowded.

He saw the figure of the Xie Zhi sitting in a chair, resting.

After thinking for a moment, he went to meet them.

There are some things that need to be entrusted to the Xie Zhi.

For example—what will happen to my second sister after I leave the real world and begin wandering through countless realms?

To be honest, from a performance standpoint, Wu Xiaoyou is not just a pretty face.

She is very strong and progresses very quickly, catching up with many high-level players in a short period of time.

Wu Wang wasn't worried about anything happening to her in the dungeon.

Instead, they worry that she might be taken advantage of when she interacts with other players.

After all, Second Sister hasn't experienced much of the evil between players yet, so she's too easily taken advantage of.

If there's any place in the real world that Wu Wang could feel a little more at ease with...

That leaves only the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

After Qinglong purged the corrupt elements within the bureau, after Xie Zhi awakened and became his disciple, and after the Bureau of Strange Affairs flourished with the help of the map he had given him.

That's definitely a trustworthy place.

At least, Wu Wang acknowledged Xie Zhi as a person.

The reason for discussing these matters at the Wanbao Auction House, rather than contacting Xie Zhi privately after leaving, is to discuss these matters at the Wanbao Auction House.

The reason is the same as what Wu Wang just asked Wan Shi Tong to inquire about the fortune teller.

If we were to discuss these matters in Wanbaolou.

There's no need to worry about the fortune teller finding out.

According to Wu Wang's guess, the fortune teller himself was probably not as powerful as the Black-Hearted Penguin.

Perhaps in the real world and the virtual world, the other party can hide in various undetectable identities to observe you.

But in this Wanbaolou, Wu Wang didn't think he could hide inside without the black-hearted penguin's knowledge.

His plan to seduce the fortune teller must not be known to him.

Otherwise, who knows what other things that guy might do to stop me.

Yes, he will definitely stop himself.

After all, everything the fortune teller is doing is aimed at preventing the Venerable One from obtaining "immortality." He certainly cannot accept such a high-risk plan.

As for whether he has a better plan...

Wu Wang thought it was unlikely.

The other party will most likely take you away from the real world.

However, if the step of "immortality" had not been revealed, the Venerables certainly would not have stopped their invasion of reality to catch up with them.

Therefore, they had no choice but to keep it a secret from the fortune teller.

Da da da--

Upon approaching the Xie Zhi, Wu Wang noticed that the witch, Qin Shusheng, and others were also sitting nearby.

Among them were two men he had never seen before.

One had a sly smile like an old fox, while the other had a serious expression like a soldier on guard duty.

This made him decide to hold back what he wanted to say for the time being.

"Isn't this our troublemaker, Mr. Yan Shuangying?" Qin Shusheng teased sarcastically, "You were quite the star of the first half of the auction."

Wu Wang remained silent in the face of his teasing and joking.

He just stared at the other person with a smile.

For some reason, Qin Shusheng felt a little uneasy under that gaze.

In addition, he had just experienced being caught spying on someone's transaction.

For a moment, the expression on his face seemed to freeze.

It was the witch who broke the deadlock.

She chuckled and said to Wu Wang, "You're quite something, kid. You've got Wan Xiang Shangzun backing you up. You're really keeping a low profile."

In response, Wu Wang shrugged and said, "That's just your one-sided speculation, I don't agree with it."

The witch raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, you're neither proactive, nor do you refuse, and you're not responsible. I didn't realize you had the potential to become a scumbag."

The Xie Zhi is slightly more serious.

He stood up and introduced the two people next to him that he didn't recognize to Wu Wang.

He first extended his hand to the smiling old fox and said, "Brother Yan, this is Mr. James, the Thinker, a representative of the [Tower of Order] think tank."

The other party immediately walked over, extended his hand to shake Wu Wang's hand, and politely praised, "We have long heard of Lord Yan Shuangying. Not long ago, we had a conversation with one of our strategists, who spoke highly of Lord Yan Shuangying. Meeting you today, you are indeed extraordinary!"

The Xie Zhi then pointed to the aloof and stern-faced guard standing next to him and added, "This is Mr. Sparta, the representative of their knightly order, the Dawn Knight."

Wu Wang subconsciously responded, "That name is powerful!"

The aloof man nodded to Wu Wang and said, "I look forward to meeting you in a dungeon one day and witnessing your prowess in conquering it."

After introducing the two representatives from the Tower of Order,

Wu Wang also had a question in his mind.

He sat down and joined what should have been a discussion between the three major hotel chains and the Continental Hotel.

He asked, "I can understand why Director Qinglong from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs isn't here, but why isn't the Tower Master from the Tower of Order here either?"

Actually, I'm quite curious about this tower master, Wu Wang.

After all, as the heads of the three major families, this was the only one he had never met.

Moreover, the other party doesn't seem to be very active in the Necropolis player community.

There is very little information about the tower owner circulating on the forum.

These words also made the two representatives of the Tower of Order somewhat embarrassed.

Indeed it is.

The fact that Qinglong broke through the sky to meet the enemy before the [public beta] was known to every player of the Spirit Disaster.

After all, the strange phenomenon at the time swept the entire globe.

It's understandable that Qinglong is unable to attend the Wanbao Auction, as he is currently facing off against some powerful entity.

What about the Tower Master of the Tower of Order?
What reason would he have not to show up?

"Well, the Tower Master happened to have some business to attend to and entered a dungeon six days ago. He hasn't returned yet and missed the auction, which we also find a bit of a pity," James the Silent One replied with a slightly helpless wry smile.

The notice to open this auction was given exactly five days ago.

In other words, the other party was already inside the instance and could not receive the message.

At first glance, it seems quite reasonable.

But Wu Wang always felt that something was wrong.

What a coincidence...

It was as if this guy had made up an excuse in advance for the tower master's absence.

Moreover, the Tower Master of the Tower of Order is not someone who has only recently been in trouble.

The all-knowing person had told me this before.

Since the end of the closed beta, the day I became a player of the Spirit Disaster, the Tower Master has never appeared in anyone's sight again.

As of now, it has been three months since they last appeared.

Has no one in the entire Tower of Order noticed this?
There isn't a single rumor about this.

Wu Wang had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

However, he did not point out the abnormality he had noticed, but instead expressed the same sentiment that the other party had missed the grand occasion of the auction.

"Didn't he bid for the Key of the Void?"

Just then, Dawn Knight Sparta suddenly spoke.

James, his companion beside him, also clenched his fist and lightly tapped it in his other palm, looking as if he had suddenly realized something.

He then said, "That's right, Mr. Yan. The Void Key you purchased can open a semi-secret realm instance called the Trial of a Thousand Machines, which is exactly the instance our Tower Master entered."

"If you're lucky, you might even encounter the Tower Master in the dungeon."

Is the Tower Master of the Tower of Order also in the secret realm he is about to enter?
Wu Wang was stunned and stood there for a moment.

Upon hearing this, the others also showed expressions of surprise.

The witch suddenly realized, "So that's where Little Li went! No wonder he hasn't come back for six days. I knew the dungeon could keep him trapped for so long."

It's obvious that she also knows about this instance.

Qin Shusheng explained to Wu Wang from the side: "This dungeon is quite special. There is no fixed dungeon passage, and the dungeon content is not fixed. Players who enter through different channels will be randomly matched together to experience the dungeon, and there may even be players joining midway."

"You can think of this secret realm as a low-budget version of the game 'The Calamity,' where different instances will be released."

"But each person who clears the level can only randomly receive one treasure."

"Luck is more important than skill in this dungeon."

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wu Wang, who seemed to be deep in thought.

He added, "That's why the key you have, which allows you to choose treasures at will, is so precious that it was put up for auction at Wanbao Auction. Who would have thought that you would take it away for almost the starting price?"

"How about some victory remarks?"

Wu Wang ignored the guy.

He turned his gaze to the witch and asked, "Is the tower master's surname Li? Why do you call him Little Li?"

The witch's expression turned serious upon hearing this.

He said in a serious tone, "Because he really looks like Leonardo DiCaprio, and he's the younger, most handsome version of him."

This statement did not surprise anyone.

This wasn't the first time they'd known that witches liked to give people nicknames.

Wu Wang nodded slowly.

My mind was only focused on the fact that my plan was made yesterday, and I was going to go to the secret realm dungeon to get the "People Leave and Tea Grows Cold" item, which I had only learned about from the shady penguin a few hours ago.

They've been in this instance for six days already.

Even if they were lying in wait in advance, they shouldn't have been able to predict this much earlier, right?

Six days ago, I was still in the Eternal City.

Is it really just a simple coincidence?

He had a premonition—that he might actually encounter this tower master in the dungeon.

The other party might actually have a problem.

This is too much of a coincidence... (End of Chapter)
