Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 198 Mental Pollution? What is that?
"Are you... a thief or a killer in real life?"

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask Wu Wang.

But as soon as she said this, she suddenly frowned and felt something was wrong.

This scene before my eyes always feels familiar.

"He's an artist..."

However, before Wu Wang could finish his reply, she immediately responded:
"It's just that there's a mortal enemy who likes to hunt you in the city at night, so that's why you've developed these stealth and trap-setting skills?"

Wu Wang, whose spellcasting was interrupted, looked a little unhappy.

He looked her up and down with a strange look, then walked towards the puppet show without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward.

She always felt that something was wrong.

You want the other person to stop and observe the surroundings first.

However, in the process of chasing Wu's death.

She found that no matter how fast she quickened her pace, she was still some distance away from the figure of Wu Wang in a purple tuxedo in front of her.

Now I feel like I am trapped in the Achilles' paradox, and I will never be able to catch up with the tortoise that is so close to me.

Finally, until Xiaoxiao lifted her leg one time.

I could hear the creaking sounds of gears turning and joints twisting.

I subconsciously looked down.

I was horrified to find that my legs were becoming increasingly stiff.

It even has a woody luster under the moonlight.

"Carving out the false appearance to appear real..."

Wu Wang in front turned his head and uttered the strange poem again.

This familiar feeling immediately made Xiaoxiao break out in a cold sweat.

How many times have I been backstage at a puppet show?
However, the next second, before the puppet-like General Wu could finish reciting his poems intermittently.

A dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes next to him.

He raised his hand and raised a steel pipe-like stick, and hit the puppet Wu Wang hard on the head.

The force was so great that it knocked his head off and rolled on the ground like a ball.

When the figure turned around and looked at him.

Xiaoxiao was stunned.

It was a humanoid monster with countless pairs of blood-red vertical pupils on its head, its hair dancing consciously like tentacles, each finger as sharp as a claw, and its exposed skin a mixture of scales and feathers.

She felt as if her brain was hit hard by a hammer and was in severe pain.

I couldn't help but squat down and cover my head.

He shakily pulled out a bottle of water without any brand or label from his backpack.

When you open it, there is a hint of almond flavor.

Weird Almond Water (Premium): One of the most important naturally occurring items in the back room, its nutritional value is slightly lower than that of the walnut cake. It is usually a bottled liquid beverage with a slightly sweet almond flavor. It may appear in several different packaging options, and sometimes without packaging.

[Effects: Drinking it can restore some of the body's twisted injuries, help maintain sanity and focus]

[Note: Please make sure it is not expired before drinking, because at this time it is even as dangerous as cashew water. Trust me, you don’t want to know what will happen if you drink cashew water.]

Gudong Gudong——

Xiaoxiao tilted her head back and drank almond water in big gulps.

The severe pain deep in the brain gradually eased, and the surrounding environment began to become distorted little by little.

After a moment, she realized she wasn't backstage at all.

Instead, he stood in the center of the stage, holding several wooden rods for controlling puppets.

And what he was unconsciously manipulating was the puppet that looked and dressed like him.

But now its head is missing.

"Hey, you're awake? You owe me a life, remember that." Wu Wang's voice came from the audience.

At this time, Xiaoxiao looked over.

I was shocked to find him sitting with his legs crossed, like a spectator, a strange-looking puppet under his feet. In his hand, he was playing with a round puppet head, spinning it with his index finger like a basketball. Looking closely, wasn't that the missing head of the puppet he was controlling?
The thing under his feet looked very much like the humanoid monster he had just seen.

"Thank you... What happened?" Xiaoxiao threw away the wooden pole in her hand and said with a grim expression.

Because she found that there was indeed an empty can of almond water at her feet.

This means that what just happened was not an illusion.

Wu Wang threw the puppet head away.

He stroked his chin and began to speak slowly, "We were just wandering around, and the first place we found was this puppet theater garden. I'm rummaging through boxes and cabinets backstage, and you go to the stage to look for clues."

"But I noticed you started twitching all over when you got on stage, and I thought it was your purple mood leaking out. I didn't want to bother you. What if you're into this?"

Xiaoxiao's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

This guy is really like Yan Shuangying. Even when talking about serious matters, he is full of nonsense.

Wu Wang continued, "Then I saw you playing a puppet show, and your movements became stiffer and stiffer, but the puppet in your hand became more and more flexible."

His tone was serious yet a little playful.

"If you keep playing for a few more minutes, you'll be completely turned into a puppet, left here for others to play with. The thing in your hand will become another [Xiaoxiao] and blend into the other players. I just don't know if she can inherit your backpack and equipment."

After saying that, he stood up, waved goodbye and prepared to leave the garden.

After all, he already got what he wanted.

But Xiaoxiao still walked to the stage, squatted beside the humanoid monster-like puppet and frowned.

Why did she remember that the first thing she saw were two puppets that looked exactly like herself and Wu Wang.

The puppet in my hand when I woke up just now also proved that this was true.

But where did Wu Wang's puppet go? And what is this monster puppet?
He casually glanced at his mental strength.

It has fallen from [37] to [24].

This is the state after recovering a little with almond water.

"Aren't you mentally contaminated?"

Hearing Xiaoxiao's doubts.

Wu Wang thought about what had just happened.

He grinned and said, "Spiritual pollution? What is that? I've never encountered it in dungeons. Maybe it's just luck."

Ten minutes ago.

He saw Xiaoxiao walk onto the stage in a daze and start manipulating the puppet.

A puppet that looks exactly like him also seems to want to do something.

But when the mental pollution came over and was about to control Wu Wang's body.

The puppet looked at the red vertical pupil on its wrist.

In just a moment, it cracked and turned into this strange shape.

Haha, playing with mental pollution in front of the Abyss God?
Dude, you might as well be on Up.

Let’s act out the up-house scene.

But Wu Wang did not rescue Xiaoxiao immediately.

Instead, he continued to rummage through the drawers and boxes, looking for something.

It was something that Wu Wang had written on a piece of paper hidden inside his clown clothes while he was lying on the bed.

This is also the reason why Wu Wang seemed to be wandering around, but was actually deliberately looking for the location of the puppet theater.

At that time, Xiaoxiao's scarecrow was peeping at him, so he couldn't take it out and observe it directly.

After the existence of the scarecrow is revealed, Xiaoxiao takes it back.

He took it out and took a look at it quietly while climbing onto the roof.
