Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 294 Wu Wang's Protective Umbrella
At this moment, Wu Wang had just come into contact with the [Seed of Despair].

I felt a power called "hope" surging in my body.

Although this is only temporary, the power does not truly belong to him.

But at least at this moment Wu Wang could be mobilized.

So incredibly powerful.

So fascinating and intoxicating.

What a wonderful feeling this is?
"omnipotent……"

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

At this moment, what flashed through Wu Wang's mind was a novel he had read before -

The Million Pound Bank Note.

When that little man, who has no relatives in a foreign country and is in a desperate situation of being without clothes and food after spending his only remaining dollar, wanders hungry in Portland Square, even a bitten pear thrown into the gutter by a child can become his hope.

The million-pound check that was handed to him because of a bet between two wealthy brothers.

In an instant, he gained beauty and power that he had never imagined.

Even if the other party requires the full return of the million pounds within a month.

In essence, this check is a fake mountain of gold that he cannot spend.

But it still allowed that little man to receive the owner's hospitality in the restaurant and be promised unlimited credit; it allowed him to have dozens of top-notch suits custom-made in high-end tailor shops; it allowed the hotel to vacate a luxury suite for him; and it allowed the rich, nobles, and even national ambassadors in the entire city to compete to get to know him.

Let the little people become guests of honor in various social circles of the city's upper class.

He even fell in love with a wealthy lady whom he was supposed to never be able to touch in his life.

Huge wealth, noble status and sweet love that you never imagined are within your reach in an instant.

And all of this stems from that one million-pound check that could not be cashed.

Now, what Wu Wang holds in his hand is the "million pounds" that is enough to change everything.

Even more tempting than the blank checks in novels is——

His hope can be fulfilled.

Even if Wu Wang could feel it, he could only use its power in this copy.

After all, this is a copy of [Hope].

The power of hope is supposedly the origin of this world.

In other copy worlds or realities outside, just [hope] is not enough to create the entire world.

But that's enough.

in a sense.

At this moment, Wu Wang is mastering the essence of this copy world.

Just recite to the [Seed of Despair] what you want to happen.

Even if it means turning the heaven and earth upside down and making all things submit, it is not a problem!
He, or rather, He is the God of this world!

"Huh...huh..."

Wu Wang's breathing became more and more rapid.

My hands couldn't help but tremble.

The power of [Seed of Despair] is more terrifying than he imagined.

This kind of horror does not refer to destructive power or some kind of danger.

But it is so powerful that it is hard to extricate yourself.

Compared to it, the power he once possessed was like a rotten pear found by a small man in the gutter.

As the saying goes, "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."

Only by truly experiencing luxury can one realize the insignificance of frugality.

Even when Wu Wang was in front of the [Spiritual Lord of the Sea of ​​Desire], he never truly sank or floated in the [Sea of ​​Desire].

But at this moment, he really felt that he couldn't let go of the "hope" in his hands.

Even at one moment.

He came up with the idea of ​​using this [hope] to resurrect his parents and eldest sister in the current copy world, then bring his second sister over from reality, abandoning reality and living a god-like life here.

The most terrifying thing is that this idea seems to Wu Wang, who has [hope].

It's not just a fantasy.

But there is really hope that it can be done.

Looking at Wu Wang holding the [Seed of Despair] in his hand with a dazed look in his eyes.

The apartment manager couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Yeah...you felt it too, right?"

“What a terrible power hope is, what an intoxicating presence.”

"I once had it, and only at the moment of losing it did I realize the true despair."

Snapped--

Just when the apartment manager thought this guy would be immersed in hope.

A pair of cold little hands gently stroked Wu Wang's cheek from behind.

Sister Lilith stood behind him.

Her figure became as tall as when she was in the church in the town of Aiguyi.

His eyes were full of piety and determination.

He leaned over and whispered in Wu Wang's ear, "Sir, you are of free will."

"Your decision will be the direction we move forward."

"Even if you want to stay in this world, we will have no complaints."

"But have you really thought it through? Is that really what you want?"

There was no force in her gentle words.

It was just a simple question to Wu Wang.

No matter what the other party answers.

Lilith would not refute.

Yet it is such a simple question.

Wu Wang remained silent for a full minute.

Then he took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Thank you for your kindness Lilith."

"Don't worry, I won't stay even if you tell me to."

Then he grasped the [Seed of Despair] tightly, which was like the fatal temptation of the ring in the Lord of the Rings.

There was no longer any wavering in his eyes.

He simply said, "You are right, I have free will."

"This seemingly omnipotent divine power is merely a prisoner of this world."

"To regard it as everything is the same as pledging allegiance to Hope?"

"Dude, I'm a temporary worker for the big boss."

"There are still basic professional ethics."

After saying that, everything around him seemed to freeze.

Time and space all froze at this moment.

The sounds of fierce fighting in Apartment Building 404 in the distance also came to an abrupt end.

The surprise on the apartment manager's face froze, the smile on Lilith's lips remained, the leader's struggle and Mary's suppression also stopped, the servant boy and Mingtian, who had come from afar and had not yet actually joined the battlefield, also stood there with worry.

It seemed that the fall of Wu was the only thing in the world that was unaffected.

He recited his first [Hope] to the [Seed of Despair]—

"Please bring me the clues that the fortune teller left here."

How could Wu forget his original intention after his death?
The two most important goals of his coming to this dungeon.

One is to find the fortune teller's trace, and the other is to find the last missing piece of equipment in the clown legendary suit.

This is not his end!
Staying here will only bind you forever by [Hope]!

Ding--

In this space and time temporarily frozen by [hope].

A three-eyed astrologer, wearing a magic carpet like the one in Aladdin's lamp and playing with a crystal ball in his hand, stood in front of Wu Wang.

It wasn't like he appeared out of nowhere.

More like standing here all the time.

It was not noticed until this moment.

Yuan Disha sighed and said, "Young people are just hot-tempered. It's better to forgive others when you can."

"Didn't I and my friend already make this clear in the store?"

"Young friend, just go and do your own thing. I won't stop you. Why do you have to dig into my affairs?"

Regarding the fact that Yuan Disha is a fortune teller.

Wu Wang was not very surprised.

Because he has already figured out the fortune teller's style.

This guy just likes to be a spectator.

Unbeknownst to anyone, he sat quietly in the audience and watched the performance.

In order not to attract attention and ruin the atmosphere of the performance.

The audience where he was was not like in a theater where one could tell by looking at the audience below.

Instead, it blends into your side, like the spring breeze that moistens everything silently.

Perhaps when he was fighting with Prince Xiang in "Anecdotes of the Pear Garden", one of the soldiers in the surrounding scene was him; he was also among the invited tycoons from all walks of life watching him and Mary dance in "The Masquerade"; his eyes were in the ghost of the Yinyuan Saint buried in "The Deserted Village"; his back was also mixed in among the students who rushed out of the campus to pursue their ideals in "Fight Back to School".

In short, when Wu Wangyue realized the existence of the fortune teller.

The more I think this guy is omnipresent.

It felt like there were eyes staring at me everywhere and at all times.

This feeling……

Wu Wang didn't like it.

So, he wanted to know what exactly the fortune teller wanted to do when he observed him?
Hearing his words, Wu Wang chuckled and said, "Didn't you say that you hoped that the next time we meet, I wouldn't regret my choice?"

"I really don't regret it. You probably didn't expect our next meeting to be so soon, did you?"

Wu Wang's ridicule left the fortune teller speechless for a moment.

Indeed, he didn't expect that this kid could really catch him hiding.

Even if what is hidden in this copy is just a trace of his consciousness.

But once you catch it, you catch it. And now you are in this state.

He still had no way to disappear from Wu Wang's sight again.

The power held in the other party's hands is the origin of this copy world.

At this moment, Wu Wang is the agent of [Hope].

He can use [Hope] at any time to make his consciousness attached to Yuan Disha return to this place and be unable to leave.

In response to this, the fortune teller pinched his fingers a few times.

After a moment, he said helplessly: "Well, I can help you solve your doubts here."

"Let me know that I have no ill will towards you."

"My dear friend, do you know the saying that a man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure?"

The initial communication in the secret room store could not be considered a direct conversation.

After all, that was completely the fortune teller's one-sided attack on Wu Wang.

Now use the power of hope.

Even if it can only temporarily restrict the other party from leaving.

Finally, I can have a face-to-face chat with this old guy.

Wu Wang also took this conversation extremely seriously.

He frowned and asked, "Are you referring to my [Immortality]?"

Wu Wang's intelligence has been recognized by the Lingzai game system.

He gave the evaluation that "this is an extraordinary child".

Of course, he could guess what the "bi" the other party was talking about was.

The fortune teller nodded slightly.

He raised his hand and stroked the non-existent beard on his chin.

Then, pointing to the captain not far away, who was still being held down by Mary in a difficult grappling position, he said, "This is the captain who brought you misfortune. I suggested to him not long ago that he stop, saying that even if he destroyed the world, it wouldn't bring about the future he envisioned. But he didn't believe me, and that's how things have turned out."

"Because he's just an umbrella."

"Protect this from being discovered and rejected by [Hope]."

After saying that, the fortune teller pointed at the [Seed of Despair] in Wu Wang's hand.

Looking at Wu Wang, he frowned and thought about the relationship between the two.

He also revealed a shocking secret:

"My friend, you must understand that everything has two sides. True despair can only brew from hope. Only when you possess happiness will you fear pain. Nothingness will grow after desire ends. Distortion is merely another variation of eternity. Isn't absolute chaos also a form of order?"

"So, when Hope found itself beginning to change, it longed to find the source of change, which is the Seed of Despair in your hand."

"[Despair] is not yet mature. He needs the power of [Hope] to thrive."

"The birth of these two brothers is a coincidence, but also a necessity."

"They are products of this world. Hopefully, the disasters they cause cannot be stopped, just like cancer cells are normal cells before they become cancerous. Your immune system doesn't treat them as foreign."

"They are the best umbrella for [Despair] to absorb power in this world."

These remarks made Wu Wang stunned.

I seem to have heard some secret that almost all players don’t know!
A secret exclusive to the venerables!

The Venerables I know of so far are [Desire], [Pain], [Distortion], and [Hope].

The remaining venerable should be [Chaos] or [Order].

The key point is - how could another different "They" appear in the world of these venerables?

This is what the fortune teller said.

His big boss [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] would most likely also encounter the same problem as now.

His opposite is... [Nothingness]?
It doesn't sound like a good thing either.

But after knowing this, the boss's motive for asking him to destroy this copy world became a little subtle.

Does He want to bring about the birth of [despair]?

Is this any good for the big boss?

Jot this question down for now.

Wu Wang tilted his head and asked, "And then? Does this have anything to do with my [Immortality]?"

His doubts were also expected by the fortune teller.

Then the fortune teller pointed his finger at the book boy again.

He said calmly, "I want you to understand the concept of 'protective umbrella' first."

"Just like this little boy, his identity as a [Scholar] was just a protective umbrella for him as [Scholar Qin]. Now he has been turned into a clown by the leader, and the clown..."

Wu Wang took over and said, "The clowns are the umbrella of the circus. I know this."

He could understand what the fortune teller meant by the umbrella of protection.

In addition to those just mentioned.

There are many concepts of umbrellas in this copy world.

The leader hid the "Seed of Despair" in there, also using the child's original resident identity as a protection umbrella to prevent it from being discovered by the apartment manager.

The apartment manager created [Apartment 404], which was essentially [hope] to build a protective umbrella for his own world so that it would not be completely eroded by [despair].

Seeing Wu's demise, I can understand it.

The fortune teller smiled slightly.

Then he continued to explain what he mentioned earlier.

"Young friend's [Immortality] is coveted by many parties. Most of these guys are backed by beings at the level of Venerables or Divine Envoys."

"Their struggle involves a contest at a higher level. I cannot reveal the details to you."

"My friend, you only need to know that no matter which side obtains [Immortality]."

“Reality will suffer unspeakable disasters.”

"So, a small number of people came up with an idea - to protect [immortality]."

The fortune teller looked at Wu Wang with an increasingly kind look.

He was as kind and amiable as an old grandfather seeing a young child.

Hand the crystal ball to Wu Wang.

There was a bright and dazzling light in it.

But the next second, a large amount of strange purple air emerged, so blurry that people could not see the content clearly.

Completely cover up the glare of the light.

"Normally, your [Immortality] is like a candle in the dark night in the eyes of those beings. No matter where you are, it is difficult not to notice it."

"So, when [Immortality] appeared in the world, I set up a protective umbrella for you, little friend."

"It obscures the glare of the Undead, making it undetectable to those beings."

"Even though this umbrella is a rare item in the eyes of some, it's still more mediocre than [Immortality], and at least it won't attract their covetousness."

"My friend, you can understand it as hiding a priceless treasure map in a golden bottle."

Click——

When it comes to this.

Wu Wang's hand holding the crystal ball suddenly exerted force unconsciously.

Pinch it to create a crack.

Because he inexplicably had a crazy idea.

A thought that might be true.

Look at his reaction.

The fortune teller sighed and said, "Your intelligence is rare, young friend. It seems you have already guessed it."

boom--

Wu Wang suddenly threw the crystal ball at the fortune teller.

Unfortunately, it was caught by the opponent.

The purple air inside the ball also seeped out from the cracks.

A beautiful figure was formed on the ground——

【Wu Xiaoyou】!
"You fucking said that my second sister's existence is actually my umbrella of protection!?" Wu Wang gritted his teeth.

The silly second sister in my eyes.

Actually, in terms of existence, it is also for the purpose of protecting oneself.

How could Wu Wang easily accept this!
Faced with his reaction, the fortune teller felt helpless.

After all, this was all his own creation.

"My dear sister, your [Yin Body] aura can perfectly mask the [Immortality] aura."

"That's why I asked her to go to Yinyuan Village to activate her Yin Body's constitution."

"That day is also the day when [Immortality] appears in the world."

"As long as she is alive, you will not be discovered by them."

It is still a little hard to accept the fall of Wu.

I thought everything I was doing now was to protect my second sister.

Prevent the other party from being eroded by disaster.

The beautiful life and the innocent second sister are carefully protected by myself like a glass bottle.

I never thought that I was the fragile object that had been kept in this glass bottle.

The most important thing is that now you know all this.

Wu Wang didn't even dare to tell his second sister.

Because he could guess what the other party would say -

My second sister will be very pleased.

She will be happy to be able to protect herself.

She would smile and say, "Brother, isn't this good? I can protect you forever."

She is so good to herself.

Willing to give everything to protect yourself without asking for anything in return.

Even the meaning of her existence.

Wu Xiaoyou is her best second sister.

It was so good that Wu Wang felt that she shouldn't have to bear all this.
