Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 287: The Origin of [Pseudo-Human], the Centennial Truth
brush brush --

The empty 404th floor of Apartment 7.

In a very simply decorated room.

A man in a formal tuxedo is writing furiously at his desk.

There was some messy stubble on his chin, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes. There was even inexplicable bloodshot in his pupils, which made people feel a little uneasy.

Although she is sitting, her good inverted triangle figure can be seen through the shoulder width and waist ratio of her suit.

It is obvious that he has been exercising for a long time.

But his face was so pale that it gave people a sense of extreme weakness.

The contradictory feeling that appeared in him was puzzling.

Next to the man stood a slovenly woman who looked bewildered.

It was Tan Lili who ran back from the circus.

The identity of the man in front of him was about to be revealed——

【Apartment Manager】!
Looking at what he wrote on the paper, every sentence made people wary——

After 7pm, please use anything that can block your view to completely seal your doors and windows.

[You cannot look anyone in the eye tonight, even if they are your most familiar family members]

[No talking is allowed in the house tonight. Even if someone outside the door raises any topic to you, you are prohibited from talking to them.]

[You must fall asleep before midnight tonight. Even if you are awake, you must lie in bed and ignore everything else, pretending to be asleep.]

[Tonight, there must be at least two normal residents in the house. Those living alone should find roommates as soon as possible.]

What he was writing was exactly the same building regulations that were distributed to all the original residents yesterday evening.

Tan Lili watched the rules being written out one by one.

I couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

Because from the establishment of Apartment 404 to now.

There have never been such strict building regulations.

In the past, the policy was basically to prohibit others from entering the room after dark, with occasional changes in details.

For example, you can’t watch TV on a certain night, you can’t turn on the faucet on a certain night, and so on.

However, this time, it was so serious that he couldn't even look at the [fake person] outside, or even speak.

The most important thing is that there is even a set bedtime.

It also requires that at least two normal residents stay together.

what does this mean?
Would a [fake person] break into the home of a person living alone?
They are breaking through the previous building regulations little by little!
"Mr. Administrator...isn't this last building rule too harsh?"

It is because Tan Lili knows how many normal original residents are left in the building.

That’s why I feel even more headache.

Because apart from myself, other residents living alone may not find normal roommates.

Rather, it is a [fake person] whose identity was replaced at some unknown time.

It was obvious that there was no way to escape death.

The best way to deal with it nowadays.

Tan Lili gathered all the normal original residents together, assigned who would live with whom, and allowed them to take care of each other.

However, there is a hidden building rule that restricts this practice.

This is the first night that Apartment 404 is invaded by the [pseudo-humans].

The apartment manager warned everyone.

And it is said that the building rules will always play a role——

[Before nightfall, people with abnormalities must not be made aware of their abnormalities]

That is to say, during the day, even if you realize that your neighbor is a [fake person].

Neither can the neighbors realize this themselves.

You must continue living with it as you normally would.

Otherwise, the other party will ignore all building rules and take advantage of you even during the day.

That's why during the day.

When Wu Wang and other players saw the scene inside the apartment building, they found it harmonious to the point of being almost eerie.

It is a normal life where the original residents and the [fake people] cannot tell who is who.

It looked like an ordinary apartment building where nothing unusual had ever happened.

Because they cannot make the [fake people] realize that they are [fake people].

So, facing this situation.

The apartment manager asked Tan Lili to distribute the building rules.

She was also asked to distribute it to every household.

Unless a household's house is empty.

Otherwise, even if the person living inside is a [fake person], the building rules must be sent to it.

After all, special treatment will make people notice the abnormality.

If the [pseudo-person] resident finds out that everyone except himself has received the building rules.

Then he will realize that he is the special one.

Thus, he concluded that he was a [fake person].

Then they would violate the building rules and start rioting.

In this case, how can Tan Lili gather the normal residents?
If only there was one [fake person] who realized that the people gathered together were normal residents.

That will trigger a chain reaction.

This caused the [fake people] in the apartment building to riot.

If this really happens, the normal residents will probably be finished before nightfall.

"Harsh? This is my last act of mercy." The apartment manager looked at Tan Lili.

The indifference in his eyes contained a kind of incomprehensible disappointment.

Then he waved his hand and said, "If you want to save more people, then find a way to quietly notify the normal residents."

After that, he continued to write down a building rule.

Tan Lili took a deep breath.

Turned around and walked out the door.

After she returned from the circus, she reported to the apartment manager that the circus had been cancelled early.

The other party did not explain anything, but just sat quietly on the chair and began to write the building rules.

Regarding the attitude of the apartment manager.

Tan Lili has also gotten used to it.

This man's mood swings are as constant as an iceberg.

No matter what happens, it will not react too much.

I can only say that I hope the building rules given by the apartment manager this time can save Apartment 404.

Listen to her door closing.

The apartment manager shook his head.

He took out a suitcase from under the table.

And a large stack of building rules that had already been written.

After placing the building rules on the table, he slowly stood up and walked to the window.

Tie the suitcase with a rope and throw it out of the window, lowering it little by little.

This direction is the back of the apartment building.

Under no circumstances would the residents of the building go behind the apartment building.

Because he once said.

Most of the areas behind the apartment buildings are unprotected, and anyone who goes there or comes back without permission will definitely be hunted down by [fake people].

So, even people who go to the circus.

And I will only go along that fixed path.

I couldn't see my side on the path either.

The 7th floor is also the only floor with windows facing the rear.

Only the apartment manager lives on this floor.

So, no one would notice him quietly leaving the apartment.

After placing the suitcase steadily on the ground, he skillfully secured the rope to heavy objects such as the legs of the bed and table.

The whole person climbed out of the window along the rope like a 007 agent.

He looked like he was about to run away.

Click——

After landing, the apartment manager stepped on the ground which was piled thickly with leaves.

There was a sound like twigs snapping under my shoes.

Unexpectedly, in this forest behind the building which has been unattended for many years.

Suddenly there was a sarcastic sneer.

"Humph! I didn't expect you to be such a coward."

"Everyone is waiting for your building rules to make a living."

"If the other residents knew about this, how disappointed would you make them?"

The apartment manager slowly raised his head while carrying a suitcase.

Seeing the cheongsam-clad figure in front of him, he said calmly, "They're all going to die tonight anyway, so what's the point of being disappointed or not?"

The person coming is Mingtian!
After getting the information from Shutong and Tan Lili.

She immediately concluded that the apartment manager would leave.

Because when I was looking for clues before.

As a player, she naturally investigated the area behind the apartment building, a place that other original residents did not dare to go to.

At that time, Mingtian felt something was wrong.

Doesn’t this strange floor layout make it easy for people living on the seventh floor to escape?

So, after she saw Tan Lili go up to the seventh floor to find the apartment manager.

I quietly went around to the back to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for only more than ten minutes, I saw the man running away.

"Since you knew something would happen tonight, why didn't you try to change the outcome? If it doesn't work, just take the rest of the people and run away!" Mingtian was a little puzzled.

Hearing this, the apartment manager, who was about to pick up his suitcase and leave on his own, stopped.

He turned his head and looked at Mingtian.

The bloodshot in his eyes became more and more obvious, as if a wriggling earthworm was crawling in his eyes.

He said calmly, "You don't belong here, do you?"

"No wonder he can say such self-righteous words."

"It seems your world must be a very happy place. You are such an idiot for not knowing how to appreciate your blessings."

Mingtian was stunned when he heard this. This person could tell his player identity at a glance?

Holy crap! When did the dungeon NPCs become so awesome?
Even the nightmare-level dungeons he had experienced in the past were not necessarily so outrageous!
"Wait? You guys?"

Mingtian also immediately realized the strangeness in the apartment manager's words.

He suddenly turned around and looked deep into the forest and shouted, "Who! Come out! Stop hiding!"

With her vigilance.

There were also faint rustling sounds coming from the forest.

Two other familiar figures walked out with gloomy faces.

They were Leng Yuqingfu and the landlady's daughter.

Their expressions now looked as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.

Things happen so fast in the circus.

They could only vaguely determine that there was something wrong with Zhaixing.

Shutong and Mingtian already knew a lot of inside information.

In this nightmare-level dungeon where one wrong step can lead to death.

Information is the key to survival!

So, after seeing Mingtian leave the circus.

They all chose to join forces to track Mingtian.

Perhaps Mingtian was too focused on the apartment manager's movements, or perhaps both of them were red-named players who were outside the law in reality and were very good at hiding.

Finally I came here.

But what frightened them now was that even Mingtian, who was being followed, didn't notice.

The apartment manager who had just escaped from upstairs noticed their presence at a glance.

It also points out that everyone's identities do not belong to this world.

On the other hand, Mingtian found out that it was these two people.

She didn't feel very angry.

After all, there are more important issues to deal with.

So she asked the apartment manager, "Self-righteous? What gives you the right to say that? Am I wrong?"

Mingtian is not an unreasonable little fairy.

She just felt that if the apartment manager was not capable enough to save other residents.

Then give them a final notice.

Even if everyone runs away separately.

It’s better than waiting to die in the building without knowing why, right?

It’s okay to struggle a bit!

This is the thinking habit that almost all players have.

After all, players are traveling through various dungeons where they are in danger of death.

They will try every possible way to survive.

"Oh, that sounds like something a hopeful person would do," the apartment manager said with a flat sarcasm.

Then he bent down and opened the suitcase.

He took out a notebook with the words "Disaster Log" written on it.

After throwing it to Mingtian, she said, "In the early years, I liked to record and write down all my past. Take a good look at it. Why should I care about the life and death of others?"

Leng Yuqingfu and the landlady came forward.

The three female players quickly flipped through the [Disaster Log].

The contents recorded therein are not much different from the troupe leader's [Circus Diary].

It’s just that my brother’s ability to foresee disasters is more repressive than what the leader described.

Because the apartment manager wrote about his abilities more clearly.

His foresight of disasters is not simply seeing the future.

But experience the disaster firsthand.

For example, when he foresees that his neighbor will be killed in a fire tomorrow.

He will also feel the pain of the burning heart.

But because this incident did not actually happen to him, it did not cause any substantial harm to him.

It’s just that his soul is constantly suffering from this “foresight”.

After enduring this pain.

He could better understand how desperate the victims would be.

However, when he tried to save the victim.

However, they were hated and even beaten by their victims countless times.

They thought they were cursing them.

A double blow to body and soul.

This is why his current mood is even colder than the leader's.

To be precise, this should be a kind of numbness.

Mingtian had a complicated expression when he saw this.

But also somewhat curious.

Since the apartment manager and the circus director are extremely disappointed with humans.

It is understandable that the latter tours the world with his circus and enjoys the wailing of fallen cities.

The former actually helps the survivors build shelters.

This is a bit confusing!

Why would he do this? Could he have suddenly become a good person?
If you are such a kind person, you won’t run away quietly now.

Then continue reading.

At the same time, the apartment manager said calmly, "When I discovered that my brother's ability was particularly effective against the [Pseudo-Man], I began to think that there might be some connection between us brothers and the appearance of the [Pseudo-Man]."

"So, after he formed a circus that was able to protect itself, I also began to investigate the truth around the world."

"We've parted ways for now, agreeing to meet every five years to share what we've seen and heard."

"A hundred years later, I found the key clue."

"The funny thing is, the clues point to that damn place."

It just so happened that Mingtian also came across this part of the record.

The log clearly states:

[The source of the world's disaster points to the place where we were born in an absurd way]

Yes, the source of the appearance of [pseudo-people] is actually where the two brothers were born!

To be precise—in their home.

[A hundred years have passed, and when I returned to this despised hometown, no one knew who I was.]

The townspeople treated me like a bard, and even many children asked me about stories of distant journeys.

Little did they know that my story was one of despair, and that despair began with their ancestors.

It took me four years to reintegrate into this town.

[Piecing together the past of the small towns that I never cared about when I left from the long river of history]

[Finally, it was discovered that a miracle had occurred in the town on the day we were born.]

When Mingtian saw the word "miracle", he already felt something was wrong.

In this nightmare-level copy.

Most of the so-called "Gods" are problematic.

As expected, the diary continued:

[It was an obsidian-like seed that fell from the sky into the yard of a house in the town.]

[Town residents see it as a gift from God]

Because the woman in that family happened to be pregnant, the townspeople made her take the seed of God.

[Hoping that a messenger of God would be born from her womb]

[Soon after, the woman gave birth to twins]

Mingtian's scalp tingled after hearing these words.

Apparently, the twins are the apartment manager and the circus ringmaster.

Their birth is so absurd!

But this was also limited by the limitations of the times. Only in that era full of different beliefs would the townspeople and even the woman herself do such ridiculous things and take unknown alien objects.

What happened next goes back to the beginning of the log.

In the end, the two brothers were not regarded as messengers of God, but as "evil spirits that brought disaster."

Finally escape from the town.

The diary is continued here after they left.

What happened in the town -

After I left, my mother, who also hated waiting for me, became seriously ill and passed away.

Because of us, the townspeople no longer consider her and the seeds she swallowed as a gift from God.

They couldn't even tolerate her remains being buried in the town.

[Chosen to be cremated]

[The mother's body was burned to ashes, and the townspeople found the swallowed seeds from the ashes.]

It didn't disappear

Out of fear, the townspeople sold the seeds to a traveling merchant, who took them away from the town.

[Something strange also started from that day]

【Seeds sprouted】

The reason for the germination was also ridiculous, because it fed on the despair of my brother and me.

"I reasonably speculate that the germination of the seeds will bring about the so-called [pseudo-human] monster. The first unlucky person to be [pseudo-humanized] will probably be the traveling merchant." The apartment manager said lightly.

"He traveled far and wide, spreading the disaster of the [false man] everywhere."

"After that, I left the town and spent another fifty years deliberately entering those cities that had long since fallen to the [False People], and found that seed."

"The moment I got it, I realized the seeds weren't black at all, they weren't even seeds!"

The apartment manager's tone finally changed.

Mingtian even heard a hint of fear in it.

The diary also shows that he wrote this sentence.

The handwriting, trembling with fear and twisted, described—

[That is actually an eyeball that is red to black]

When I observed it

It blinked.
