Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 227: Each with His Own Agenda, the Identity of a Bookboy

Xiaoxiao followed a group of players on the way to find the class owner.

After all, the blue-haired executioner's body had to be delivered to the other party.

Looking at the slightly thin figure of the servant boy in front, a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes.

To be honest, she didn't quite trust this guy.

Although what the other party is currently doing in the copy is trying to help players advance the task progress and explore strategies.

If there were no book boys, people would not be able to understand many things so quickly.

Even the important inference that the players are in the "hell" would have been too late by the time they discovered it if the other party hadn't pointed it out.

But she felt that the book boy was hiding more secrets.

Of course, as a player.

Basically everyone has some secrets, that's normal.

But the feeling that Shu Tong gave her was like an impenetrable abyss.

In essence, he doesn't care about the progress of the copy or the life and death of other players. He just wants to achieve some purpose of his own in the process of the copy.

His secret may affect whether everyone can leave this copy alive.

The most important thing is to get in here yourself.

It's not just for the purpose of conquering nightmare-level dungeons.

What she wanted to do was—

【Remove the curse】

That damn curse made her body remain in the form of a loli child forever.

If it's just physical changes, it's not a big deal.

The key point is that in reality, Xiaoxiao has begun to find that she not only has no resistance to the appearance of children, but is even becoming more and more accustomed to it.

This habit does not refer to visual or physiological habits.

Rather, some of my common sense and intelligence level have begun to become more in line with my age in a strange way.

She is becoming a real toddler!
If it is allowed to develop.

When one day you can no longer consider yourself an experienced player, but enter the dungeon with the mentality of a child.

Then it would be almost equivalent to death.

"Sister Zijin, can your talisman paper... really clear away any curse?" Xiaoxiao took two quick steps to Zijin and asked.

The other party raised an eyebrow and answered confidently, "I can't say anything, but most curses can be removed immediately. Unless the curse is so powerful that it requires a [Legendary] level or above effect to deal with, then there is nothing we can do. What's wrong?"

Hearing her words, Xiaoxiao took a deep breath.

Then he pulled the man aside and whispered, "I can pay you for the items and equipment in exchange for a chance to lift the curse. How about that?"

The reason for entering is this copy.

There is a reason for this, of course.

She once met a strange old man when she was doing business in the [Spiritual Disaster Square].

To be honest, it was quite surprising to see an old man with white hair who looked to be at least in his seventies among the players.

After all, being able to come back alive from the dungeon at this age is enough to be called a miracle.

At that time, Xiaoxiao was selling an item that was extracted from the settlement rewards of the copy.

It looks like a radio.

But when she went to find a familiar appraiser, she was unable to successfully identify its specific effects.

The only thing we can tell is that the level of this thing itself is [fine quality].

I don't know which idiot was so bored that he put a seal on a [fine] item that I'm not sure if it's [legendary] level.

Looking for a more senior appraiser is obviously not worth the effort.

I guess the money spent on appraisal is higher than the value of the item itself.

Just as she was lamenting that she had drawn a useless item, the old man came up and wanted to make a deal.

He calls himself the "God of Calculation".

If you are willing to give him this radio, he can tell Xiaoxiao's fortune.

Just when Xiaoxiao thought this guy had a problem with his brain.

He actually pointed out that Xiaoxiao was cursed.

It's called [Childhood Lock].

Xiaoxiao had never met anyone who could recognize the curse at first sight and even know its name.

So, just give it a try.

I thought it was just a [fine] item whose effect couldn't be measured.

She gave it to the [Divine Calculator].

The other party calculated three hexagrams.

Three copies were given names.

They are [Masquerade], [Old Battlefield] and [Anecdotes from the Opera Garden].

It is said that in these three copies, there is a way to remove the [Childhood Lock].

As for whether she can grasp it, it all depends on Xiaoxiao's own luck.

She reluctantly believed it.
I went to the [Masquerade], but the curse wasn't lifted, and I was almost killed by a black cat bitch.

She failed to go to [Old Battlefield] because she couldn't find the bronze token. Later she heard that this copy seemed to have collapsed and would never appear again.

Now comes the last [Liyuan Anecdote].

At the moment, the most promising way for her to lift the curse seems to be Zijin's talisman paper.

Even this won't work if the curse isn't lifted even after leaving the dungeon alive.

She was arguing with that old man in physics!
The other party looked at Xiaoxiao carefully.

Finally, he shook his head and said, "I refuse."

"Why?" Xiao Xiao frowned, puzzled. "The reward can be negotiated. Bargaining always involves a back-and-forth process. How can you just refuse right away?"

Ke Zijin spread his hands helplessly and said, "It's not about the reward, but I don't sense the aura of curse from you at all."

"How can I use the talisman paper to help you remove the curse?"

After hearing this, Xiaoxiao fell silent.

Isn't it right...

Since Zijin cannot feel the curse of the [Childhood Lock].

Naturally, it cannot be removed.

Damn you [Divine Calculator]! Where on earth is the opportunity you're talking about?
They remained silent all the way until they found the troupe owner at the theater.

The other party seemed to be finishing a conversation with the prince.

Leading the refined Li Ling out of the theater.

Seeing the crowd approaching, he frowned and asked, "Where's Baisha? Where did he go?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, the first question the boss asked was about the whereabouts of the widow.

The servant stepped forward and explained, "He's still in the Nuo Opera Garden. He said he had some personal matters to attend to. He was worried you'd be waiting outside, so he asked us to bring the body out for you to deal with."

With just one sentence, he absolved himself and others of their responsibilities.

It seemed as if the troupe owner was certain that Bai Sha was staying in the Nuo Opera House voluntarily.

What's even more strange is that the class owner heard this.

He actually stopped asking.

Instead, he glanced at the body of the blue-haired executioner.

Li Ling immediately understood what he meant and walked forward to take it, carrying it on his shoulder and walked away.

Then the troupe owner pointed to the theater.

He said seriously, "Your Highness will be attending a play tomorrow. You should all get a good rest tonight and don't delay the play tomorrow. Do you understand?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.

This should be the trap danger used to confuse players in the dungeon.

If they still thought like they did last night that the dangers in the dungeon only came from the various parks and daily performances.

Then on the fifth day he would surely die.

As for tomorrow's play...

Judging from today's situation, fighting against the prince is actually the least dangerous among these strange situations.

After all, the prince also has some restrictions during the acting process.

The performance and ending will be based on the content of the drama.

With so many props and equipment, the probability of everyone surviving is very high.

But other weird things are different, they are really hard to guard against.

Therefore, the clue they were going to look for tonight was the method that would allow the class leader to help them return to the world of the living.

"Mo Hun, you stay for a while, everyone else go back and rest." said the class leader.

The others raised their eyebrows and looked at the servant.

Mo Hun is naturally his stage name in Yiyuan.

The night before, he kept the widow, and now he kept the servant boy.

What exactly does this boss want to say to them?
But now the three of them couldn't say anything and could only turn around and leave.

Wait until there is no one around.

The troupe leader then brought the servant into the theater.

The prince was still sitting in the audience, savoring the wine.

Its tall and majestic back is very eye-catching.

When he heard someone coming in, he asked without turning his head, "How's it going?"

"It's okay." The servant boy said nonchalantly.

The class owner frowned.

He slapped the other man's forehead and cursed, "What do you mean by 'okay'? This is related to the prince's resurrection plan! If you delay the auspicious time, I will chop off your head first as an apology!"

After saying that, the troupe leader walked to the side of the prince.

He picked up another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

With a ferocious expression, he said, "Mo Hun, you don't want to be like your master, chopped into eight pieces and thrown on the roadside to be taken away by wild dogs, right?"

"[Wuhuaqu] Right now, you're the only one who understands the specific details of how it works. If anything goes wrong, you'll be the first to take responsibility. Do you understand?"

If other players were here, I wonder how shocked they would be.

The true identity of Shu Tong's character is definitely not what he said. He is a fugitive suspect who has been caught by the boss.

He faced threats from the class owner.

Also quite frank.

He walked forward with an indifferent attitude, picked up the last glass of wine and sipped it carefully.

With an expression of watching a good show, he smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, Master Yu. Even the prince can remain calm. Why are you so anxious?"

"Could it be that you are using the [Five Flower Song] to do something else that you don't want the prince to know?"

After saying this, the prince glanced at the troupe owner.

He looked at the servant boy again in silence.

Seeing the book boy's dead pig-like appearance that was not afraid of boiling water, the class owner was furious.

But he was indeed a little worried about the matter being exposed.

Because the prince really didn't know the owner's plan.

Now in this copy, there are two people who need to use the [Five-Flower Song] ritual.

One is that the class owner intends to use it to resurrect Lou Yu and see his beloved again.

One is that the prince intends to use to resurrect himself and escape from the zombie body.

It turns out there was another one that the class owner thought was a white robe.

As far as the class owner knows, Bai Sha had a wife whom he loved for many years, who died in an accident not long ago.

Therefore, he used the idea of ​​"Wuhuaqu" to trick the other party into helping him identify each person's corresponding birth date and zodiac sign, making him mistakenly believe that he could save his wife.

Of course, the white robe no longer counts now.

Because Wu Wang would not care about those irrelevant things.

It’s just that the boss still thinks he needs it.

But the problem that still exists is -

There is only one refined doll of [Wuhuaqu].

This means that only one of the troupe owner and the prince can get what he wants.

Obviously, the prince's absolutely overwhelming military force is the biggest threat.

Once he knows that the boss intends to use [Wuhuaqu] to do something else and has no intention of letting him escape from this zombie body.

It is estimated that his anger will raze the entire Xishen Yi Garden to the ground.

"Don't talk nonsense! That was the reason your master was executed after performing the ritual at the Nuo Opera House because he was gossiping behind your back."

"You want to end up like this too?"

The servant shrugged and ignored the teacher.

The other party's words actually revealed his true identity.

That’s right! The role played by the book boy.

He was the direct disciple of the Taoist priest who came to perform the ritual after the Nuo opera theater was haunted.

At the same time, the Taoist prince inquired about the person who knew the "Five Flower Song".

Unfortunately, the prince's death was too strange and unexpected.

I didn't have time to learn from him how to summon the undead from the underworld to the world of the living after [Wuhuaqu] had refined the puppet.

He happened to die in the well of the Nuo Opera Garden where the Taoist priest had just finished performing a ritual.

The soldiers loyal to the prince believed that the old Taoist had performed some evil magic to murder the prince.

He killed him without any explanation to avenge himself.

However, the Taoist priest has a great reputation outside and has helped many people solve evil spirit problems.

After the killing, many people felt resentful, thinking that the soldiers did not find the real murderer, but instead blamed the incident on a Taoist priest.

In order to calm the people's anger, the soldiers spread the news that -

This old Taoist insulted the prince's corpse and gossiped about him, saying that the prince's death was God's will and that the prince deserved to die.

Judging from the degree to which the prince is deified and worshipped by the people.

Soon the tide of public opinion turned.

The people who supported the prince began to abuse the Taoist priest and belittle him as worthless.

Even some of the people who had received help from the Taoist priest back then.

The first thing they did was to check if there were any evil things in the house, for fear that the old Taoist priest was also going to murder their family.

This world is so absurd.

Even if you want to kill someone openly.

All you need to do is find a high hat to put on him so that you have a legitimate reason.

You can just kill it and not have to worry about all the other things.

And now, the significance of Mo Hun's existence in the copy, and the reason why Shu Tong knows so much about the affairs of each park.

It is because he is the only one who knows the process of making the puppet after the Wuhuaqu is finished.

Therefore, the owner had already informed him of the dangers in the garden.

Let him assist Bai Sha in killing the other five and seizing the corresponding limbs.

As for why the troupe owner and the prince didn't do it themselves.

It’s very simple, because there is another step in refining [Wuhuaqu].

That is - [the person being summoned must not be stained with blood recently, otherwise not only will he not be able to summon the designated target, but he will also attract some evil spirits to attach to the doll].

Only the three people in the theater know this.

Therefore, both the troupe owner and the prince wanted "Wuhuaqu" to succeed.

You can't kill the player yourself.

This is also one of the reasons why the book boy is so unscrupulous.

In fact, if you act with the prince, you will not die in the true sense. At most, the other party will seriously injure you and then hand you over to the servant or Wu Wang for disposal.

He had always known it, but he just didn't tell the frightened players.

Of course, killing the blue-haired executioner was not because he really wanted to complete the "Five-Flower Song".

It was indeed because of a bounty order received at [Spiritual Disaster Square].

It’s just a matter of respecting professional ethics, and by the way, you can also gain the trust of the two big bosses in the copy. Why not do it?

But now, he found something more interesting in the copy.

"[Death], how much will His mark change this instance?"

Thinking of this, the servant looked at the prince and the troupe owner.

He grinned and asked:

"Let's continue talking about what we're doing."

"Your Highness, I've been to the well to check."

"[Alien objects] do exist..."
