Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 255 The Trap of Redemption

"After we retrieved the music box, strange changes began to occur in the orphanage."

"First, the old dean turned into a ghost and trapped us in this place, preventing us from leaving or entering."

"Every once in a while, a new evil spirit will come looking for the 'vegetable man'."

"They only want a part of the limb each time, saying it's fresh."

Spider's voice was filled with sorrow.

The cow cat standing next to him had a confused look in its eyes.

These painful memories had long been forgotten by its power.

It sounds so strange now.

But deep down in my heart, there was a kind of throbbing that I couldn't suppress, and my eyes gradually became moist.

"Big brother's legs and my hands were served on the table as delicacies."

"Just then, the welfare home welcomed the first group of intruders."

"They rebelled against the old dean's control and fended off the evil spirits of the vegetable hunters."

"Unfortunately, the power is still too weak."

"All five intruders were killed."

As if recalling the memories of the past, Spider's voice also became melancholy.

At the same time, the wooden door next to it opened silently.

A pair of sheep's hooves walked towards them with a slight sound.

The graceful [Sheep] came in front of everyone with her slender waist twisted.

She first glanced down at the music box on the ground.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, just like the cow cat.

It seemed like I heard what Spider said when I entered the door just now.

He also spoke up and continued, "Their appearance replaced our fate of becoming vegetable people."

"It's been a long time since a food-hunting ghost came to the welfare home."

"But this seems to have displeased the old dean."

"They think we're not tempting enough, the flavors aren't rich enough."

"So, he took the music box away from us."

"Use the resentment of the Seventh Sister above to make the curse more rampant in the orphanage."

"Our bodies began to change, and everyone began to resemble animals."

"The old dean said that this would make our food taste better."

Having said that, [Sheep] looked at his curly hair with some self-mockery.

He tore a piece of it off with disgust.

The hair was forcibly torn from the body, which naturally damaged the skin and caused bright red blood to flow out.

It was obvious that she really hated this look.

"When we see the vegetable-hunting ghost again, we know that the remains of the previous intruders have been eaten."

"Fortunately, there are another group of intruders."

"We were lucky this time."

"They are truly formidable. Not only did they slay the old dean, but they also defeated the vegetable-hunting ghost."

The direction of the story is gradually becoming brighter.

But Wu Wang and Xiezhi did not see any joy in the eyes of this Miss Sheep.

In addition, the place where they are now has become a disaster area.

That is to say, after the copy has been successfully conquered.

These orphans still have not been redeemed, but are trapped in the orphanage forever like earthbound spirits.

Obviously, the second group of intruders did much more than what has been said now.

What happened is far from over.

“We thought we were saved.”

"Until one of the intruders said with red eyes that he was also curious about what the vegetable people described in the book tasted like."

"He also said that no one would know what happened here after we get out, so we might as well give it a try."

"He even told us the difference between vegetable people—"

"Children call it 'he gu lan', meaning even the bones are cooked to pieces and the meat is tender. Old, skinny men are called 'rao ba huo', meaning their meat is old and needs more cooking. Young women are called 'bu xi yang', meaning their meat is delicious and better than mutton."

"Ask us if we know which category we belong to? After all, some of our brothers and sisters at that time no longer look like humans."

After saying that, the [Sheep] looked at the Cow Cat and the [Spider].

His eyes were also filled with sadness.

They didn't volunteer to become such monsters.

When Xiezhi heard this, his fists were so clenched that blood was dripping from his palms.

He had indeed heard that there were players without any bottom line who would do things in the dungeon that they would not dare to do in the real world, in order to satisfy their own desires.

But I didn't expect it to be so cruel.

Can they really still be called human beings?

"Fortunately, two of the intruders couldn't bear it and tried to persuade their companions to stop," Spider continued, "and it was they who helped my fourth and fifth sisters mitigate the spread of the curse during the exorcism of the old dean."

This also explains why the [Sheep] and [Snake] did not completely transform into animal forms.

It even retains most of its human characteristics.

"Unfortunately, they didn't seem as strong as the other three and eventually died in the internal strife."

"Just when we all thought we were doomed, those three people started talking about how time was almost up."

"Finally disappeared into an orphanage."

When [Spider] talked about this part, there was a hint of confusion in his tone.

Apparently, it also doesn't know what time it is.

Wu Wang and Xiezhi looked at each other in surprise.

They must know it!
It must be that the internal fighting between those three players and the other two players lasted too long, and they had to use up all the time they had left after the dungeon ended.

But since everyone has left.

Then why is the welfare home like this now?

It seemed that he saw the doubts of Wu Wang and Xiezhi.

Spider continued, "It's true they left, but they took something crucial with them—Seventh Sister's music box."

"The source of the curse all started with that music box."

"It shackled everyone in the welfare home and prevented them from leaving. It was also used by the old director to reform us."

"After the exorcism of the old dean, an intruder once found a way to break the spell."

"Just repair the music box and the curse will be lifted."

"But after being taken away, we can only endure the darkness and loneliness here."

creak-

Another wooden door opened.

A rustling sound came from it.

Looking closely, a woman with a human head, a snake body and a long tail, draped in a veil, swam towards them.

He said with disgust, "I don't know how long it's been, but the intruder who took the music box has returned."

"Not only did he not treat us like nobodies this time, he even delivered the music box back to us."

"But it also leaves a new curse."

It was only then that Wu Wang and Xiezhi noticed.

The four brothers and sisters who appeared here looked at each other with eyes full of distrust.

They are on guard against each other.

Compared to the rather threatening postures of [Venomous Snake] and [Spider].

The cow cat is obviously not very big, but the way its fur stands up and its claws stretch out looks a bit funny.

"Is this curse related to the traitor among you?"

Wu Wang suddenly remembered that he was in Sheep's room before.

Things she and Cow Cat had mentioned to herself.

At that time they also said that only those who passed all the tests could find the traitor.

This question made [Spider] nod.

He opened his bloody mouth and said slowly, "Yes, the thief said that the music box was missing a piece."

"One of us brothers and sisters was killed by him back then while we were exorcising the old dean. He had already tried the vegetable man back then, but to avoid our suspicion, he used magic to create a fake to replace him and infiltrate us." "The missing fragment is in that fake."

"And the fake one has all the memories and abilities of the original owner, so we can't tell the difference at all."

After saying that, he aimed all the spider eyes on his head at Wu Wang and Xiezhi.

The other three people also looked over here.

Sheep's voice softly said, "However, if you recklessly question or even threaten your family with violence, the only thing we can rely on, each other, will fall apart."

"So, we worked out a mutually agreeable plan—"

"That means having outsiders find the traitor."

[Poisonous snake] The snake's tongue comes out of its mouth and makes a hissing sound.

A cold gaze moved over Wu Wang.

When he looked at Xiezhi, he felt much more relaxed.

Let our Wu Wang feel what double standards are.

In her eyes, he was ultimately a jerk, right? Only the Xiezhi could be called great and righteous.

She hissed back, "But you intruders have hurt us enough. We can't trust you."

"So, I decided to use my own abilities to screen people I could trust."

“When a person does not become weak because of [compassion]; does not enjoy himself because of [violence]; does not sink because of [lust]; does not die because of [sin]; does not lose himself because of [confusion].”

"Then he can be the good man we believe in."

After she finished saying these words, her gaze turned towards the Spider again.

The snake's tail trembled with anger and kept tapping the ground.

He gritted his teeth and said, "But you also promised us that if we can't find such a good man, you will find a way to repair the music box. You lied to us. Are you lying?"

Suspicion about other siblings.

[Spider] seems helpless.

He restrained his attitude of being ready to attack at any time.

He sighed and said, "I've always known I couldn't repair the music box."

"But if it could be repaired without lying to you, why would you be willing to wait for so many years?"

"I'm afraid they've already started fighting among themselves over catching the traitor."

"In the end, we will fulfill that thief's wish and kill each other until we are all dead."

Its words were like needles, making the other three feel uncomfortable.

But there is no way to refute it.

Because they all knew that what Spider said was right.

If you can't find a good person you trust and there is no hope of repairing the music box.

Even if it was the [Venomous Snake] himself, he would probably not be able to help but poison all his brothers and sisters, and then search their bodies one by one to see if there was any so-called missing fragment.

After all, they have been suppressed for a long time.

These strange powers granted by the curse can affect more than just intruders.

It will even affect themselves.

boom--

Just when everyone was talking about this.

Two paper figures jumped out from the corner.

He transformed into a human form in front of Wu Wang and Xiezhi.

"Mr. Shu! Sister Ying!" Xiezhi said in surprise.

He had no idea when these two people came here.

Wu Wang took a step forward, blocking him with [Xiaochuan], grinning and asking:
"No prizes, guess what kind of hot sauce should be added to watermelon?"

"It's not spicy sauce, it should be ketchup, Brother Yan, you are too vigilant." The servant said helplessly with his face covered.

Xiezhi also reacted.

Yan Shuangying was worried that the other party had been affected by these animals and had changed.

He even suspected that since the players back then were able to use fake bodies to blend in among animals, they could probably find a way to blend in among players like them.

After all, this kind of nonsensical question can probably only be answered by someone who has personally witnessed Wu Wang squeezing ketchup into a watermelon.

Wu Wang shrugged and took back [Xiaochuan].

He always felt that something was wrong.

The thief these animals are talking about is the intruder who took the music box.

Why would he return it after so many years? And why did he tell these guys about the existence of the traitor?

And according to what Xiezhi said when he discussed with me in the cafe.

The Abnormal Affairs Bureau will be ready to seal it off and resolve the crisis in the disaster pit early tomorrow morning.

In other words, tonight is indeed their only chance.

Then shouldn't this place have just been discovered as a disaster site by the Abnormal Affairs Bureau?

There wasn't even enough time to set up a cordon around the area.

But the intruder seemed to have been able to come and go freely here for a long time.

He used some ability to cover up the truth that this place was a disaster site!
It was not discovered by the Abnormal Affairs Bureau until recently.

This timing is such a coincidence.

It was like a trap that had been set for a long time, and finally the person who was supposed to step on him appeared.

The cheese in the middle of the mousetrap was revealed.

Although he knew that this was a trap for Xiezhi.

But there are traps that are set up at the spur of the moment and traps that have been planned for a long time.

Those are two different concepts.

Who was the intruder back then, and which organization did he work for?
This point is very critical.

In fact, if he was a subordinate of those corrupt officials in the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, it would be easier to deal with, after all, it was just an internal struggle.

If he is really a person from the [Disaster Religion].

Doesn’t this mean that the [Disaster Religion] has long had its eyes on the Xiezhi?

What are you going to do to him here?
"Not good!" After Wu Wang figured it out, he looked at Xiezhi and said, "We have to get out of here quickly."

Haezhi: "?"

He actually vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

But since it just came out of the cocoon.

At the moment, his mind wasn't as fast as Wu Wang's.

In everyone's puzzled eyes.

Wu Wang said with a dark face, "Unless something unexpected happens, the Abnormal Affairs Bureau will not come to deal with this disaster tomorrow morning."

"Instead, they'll be there soon. Perhaps someone from the Disaster Cult will come out to stop them along the way, making the Abnormal Affairs Bureau believe that this is indeed some kind of arrangement by the Disaster Cult."

"And if you were caught here along with the suspected [Disaster Cult member], or even the actual [Disaster Cult member] himself, coupled with the possibility that your heart was affected and distorted, all these coincidences would come together."

"You should know what it means."

dong dong——

Xiezhi's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Of course he understood what it meant.

That would be an injustice that could not be cleared even if one jumped into the Yellow River.

After all, I should be lying down and sleeping in the community now, instead of secretly meeting with the [Disaster Cult members].

This is a multi-planned trap.

The intruder back then, having experienced this before, knew very well that the test of these animals could not be passed in a short period of time.

Not only do you have to pass the test, you also have to find a way to repair the music box.

Even considering that Xiezhi might really be able to attack the disaster cave unaffected.

Therefore, influencing Xiezhi's true intentions is part of the trap and also part of delaying time.

No matter which of these two traps succeeds, Xiezhi will be doomed.

The most important thing is when everyone realizes this.

Explanation is imminent.

People from the Abnormal Affairs Bureau might already be on their way.

Ready to catch the person red-handed...
