Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 154 Isn’t hope a kind of despair?

Swish, swish, swish——

The sound of players digging the ground with their [Relics] grew louder and louder.

Subsequently, more and more broken limbs and arms were excavated and discovered.

Occasionally, some [Twisted Ghosts] would appear out of nowhere to cause trouble.

Unfortunately, the large number of players is like a swarm of locusts, and they can turn [Twisted Wraith] into Lao Deng who explodes gold coins in an instant.

But the strange thing is that the [Twisted Ghost] that appeared here did not have any [relics] on it.

This made them even more curious about what was buried under the cliff.

Until someone struck with a sword.

He found that he had missed.

I tried to insert the sword into the ground, but it missed?

Looking down, I saw a small black hole at the insertion point.

A foul smell came from it.

It is obvious that there is a cave-like space at the bottom.

"Everyone, please be careful. Now everyone, stay away from the hole and start using the long-range [relics] to expand the hole. Be careful of the hole collapsing and don't fall in." Wu Wang stepped forward and gave the command.

His expression became a little serious.

Because he recognized the smell of it—

That's the smell of corpses.

It was so strong that it made people feel physically uncomfortable in an instant. The guy who had just poked the hole even lay down next to it and started vomiting.

There must be a lot of rotting corpses down there.

"fire!"

With the order of Wu's death.

Various long-range attack relics were launched towards the cave entrance.

A lot of dust flew into the sky.

After a while, a huge hole with a diameter of more than ten meters was finally revealed.

Lower your head and look down.

It was pitch black, with no idea of ​​how deep it was.

Someone picked up a stone from the ground nearby and threw it in.

The sound of the landing was not heard for a long time.

This made them look at each other.

After all, this is a dungeon, and there won't be any ladders or anything like that in the [Relics].

The rope was nowhere to be found.

After losing their player powers, everyone was really scratching their heads as to how to explore a place where they didn't even know how deep it was.

Unexpectedly, Wu Wang walked to the cave entrance without changing his expression.

He said to the people around him, "I'll go down and take a look. I'll tell you how deep it is."

Only then did everyone remember.

Yes! He can also command those two powerful NPCs!
As long as the NPC protects him, can't he go down?

The Duke narrowed his eyes, somewhat worried that this guy would get the [Mysterious Power] in advance if he went down first.

I was just about to suggest that I go in with him under the protection of the NPC.

But I didn't have time to speak.

Everyone saw Wu Wang jump down without hesitation.

The nun and Mary were still standing by the cave entrance chatting—

"Sir, you are truly courageous."

"Yes, his desire to explore is worthy of being a believer in Desire."

That's not right! Stop chatting, both of you!
The gentleman you are talking about is about to fall to his death!

The players were a little anxious.

If this big guy really fell to his death here so carelessly.

Will [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] think that we are the ones who killed people to silence them?

What if He causes trouble when we return to reality?
For a moment, everyone's heart was in suspense.

Just as everyone was looking at each other.

A faint sound came from the cave—

"After the diameter falls, there is flat ground, about a hundred meters high. Mary, follow my location and bring in the others."

That was the sound of Wu Wang.

This made everyone stunned.

Let’s not talk about what happens next.

Buddy, you yourself said the height is about a hundred meters.

You fell down like that, and you're still alive?

They were still in a state of confusion.
The nun and Mary took action.

The nun clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms and drawing some blood.

The blood fell to the ground and began to flow as if it had life.

And it slowly climbs up the players' shoes and pants to their waists.

Finally, thin blood-colored threads are formed to connect each other.

Now everyone is really in the same boat.

Mary also raised her hand and waved.

The flaming long skirt suddenly formed steps one after another, as dazzling as a red carpet.

The players looked at the stairs and nodded secretly.

This is the powerful dungeon NPC!
And the High Priest of Pain is really attentive.

He was also afraid that we would fall while walking up the stairs.

We were specially connected with blood-colored threads so that we could take care of each other.

"Everyone, let's go." The Duke said with a smile.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, he suddenly found that the nun walked to the side of a player closest to the cave entrance.

With pity in his eyes he said, "Please prepare to fall."

Hmm? What preparations?
Snapped--

Before the other party could react, the nun gently lifted him up.

Throw it towards the cave entrance.

“Oh no! Ah…”

The exclamations soon turned into screams that became increasingly distant.

This is not the scariest thing.

The most terrifying thing was when the first person fell into the hole.

The person closest to him was also dragged down because of the blood-colored thread around his waist.

Then came the third, the fourth...

The players were pulled down one after another like dumplings.

At the beginning, a few players occasionally reacted and tried to grab the people who fell.

But the nun caught them and threw them down too.

The Duke and Xiezhi looked at the bloodstains on their waists with despair.

They are the last two.

There was no way they could hold them back. Two people couldn't possibly hold back the impact of dozens of people falling.

call out--

I didn't have time to ask anything.

They were also dragged down.

At this time, Mary smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the nun.

He whispered, "Let's go, Lilith. The road is paved."

The nun nodded slightly and walked towards the red carpet steps.

But I still said a little embarrassedly: "Is this good for them?"

There is her [Painful Miracle] hanging there.

Players will naturally not fall to death.

However, most people would not be able to accept the method of free falling 100 meters.

What's more, he was dragged down.

Mary said without hesitation, "Someone tried to embarrass the gentleman before, and it's all their own fault."

"But there were only one or two people who were disrespectful to the master. Why should the others be thrown down as well?" the nun wondered.

Mary remained calm and said, "We're all punished together."

He did not hide his protective mentality at all.

The nun didn't say much, but just followed Mary downstairs silently.

She doesn't actually care about those players.

Just chatting with Mary.

During the hundred years on the cruise ship, their relationship had become as close as that of sisters.

As the two of them walked down the red carpet steps.

I saw the group of players hanging less than half a meter from the ground like a pyramid.

The blood-red thread around their waists didn't actually cause them to fall to the ground.

At this point, their attention was no longer on landing safely.

Instead, he opened his mouth slightly and looked around in disbelief.

To be precise, it was the people on the surrounding stone walls.

If that can still be called a human being.

"Oh my god...what is this..."

"Is this all... [Hope]'s doing?"

"So this is how the 'grudge' in [Twisted Ghost] came about..."

No one dared to speak loudly.

Wu Wang also sat there silently, looking at the misery on the stone wall.

They were twisted and mutated bodies, embedded alive inside the rocks.

The chest of each body was dug open.

Through the wound, one could see that the body's internal organs had been completely removed, and instead, a dark green vine was inserted into it.

The vines split into countless tiny veins that penetrated into various parts of these bodies and replaced their blood vessels.

The roots of the vines in all the bodies converge in the center of the cave.

The link is attached to a suspended white and green teardrop-shaped seed.

The seeds glowed faintly green, and the vines slowly swelled and contracted in rhythm.

It looks like a person breathing.

But it's not the seed that's absorbing something from the body.

Quite the opposite.

It injects nutrients and energy into these bodies along the vines to ensure that they do not die.

Yes! They are not really dead!
The reason why everyone dared not speak loudly.

Because occasionally you can hear painful wails and gasps coming from the body's mouth.

No one knew how long each body had been trapped in this dark cave.

They radiate despair from the inside out.

Even his wailing and gasping were weak.

But the seeds and vines kept them in a state where they were just strong enough not to die, but not strong enough to do anything.

Gave them hope to survive.

This biological instinct to "survive" is reflected in the seeds.

Provides some of the energy it needs to grow.

The body nourishes the seeds, and the seeds lock the body.

The two have reached a strange balance.

It's like eternal despair brings endless hope.

Ironic hope.

Because their despair is precisely what Hope brings.

Can't live, can't die...
