I'm Immortal Speed Pass Supernatural Game

The dance of freedom is simple.

It only requires swaying your body as you please, a few steps and a move are all it takes.

The dance of freedom is difficult.

Even after decades of sailing and becoming a bloodthirsty monster, it's impossible to take that step smoothly.

William's face was ashen, despair filled his eyes.

The once all-powerful strength flowed out of his body, returning entirely to the Mary cruise ship.

His complexion gradually returned from pale to normal, but it slowly lost its luster and delicacy, becoming rough and wrinkled.

His jet-black hair instantly turned gray, then fell out along with his teeth and nails.

The time that had been frozen on William for decades.

Began to move again with the loss of power.

In the blink of an eye, he became a decaying old man.

But his gaze remained fixed on Mary in the dance floor, as always.

"William, do you know why the previous rituals failed?"

Number Five, or rather, the completely new Mary, asked while dancing without turning her head.

Hearing her speak to him, a glimmer of hope rose in William's eyes, he smiled bitterly and said: "The power was too weak. Saving a dying life and recovering a dissipated soul are completely different concepts."

If Mary was only seriously injured, or in a vegetative state.

He would have awakened her long ago.

Unfortunately, she died that year.

Death is a forbidden dividing line in the existence of life.

After crossing it, recovery is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

However, hearing his answer.

Mary smiled sarcastically: "You're still so hypocritical. Do you really love her when you want to awaken the consciousness of the former Mary?"

"No, you only love yourself."

"Awakening her is just to prove to yourself that you weren't wrong in the first place, trying to get acknowledgment from Mary. You want to convince yourself, not Mary."

Speaking of this, Wu Wang, who was dancing with her, stopped.

The memory returned to before going to the Hongmen Club.

When Wu Wang entered the [Kitchen] again.

More of Mary's consciousness had awakened inside.

This meant that the display he and Number Five had put on in front of the other waiters the day before had worked.

They were starting to think about their own existence.

It was from that time that Wu Wang learned the truth about the cruise ship.

So, he turned to William and smiled:

"Buddy, do you know what the so-called Spirit Venerable of the Desire Sea used to create this Mary ship, to make it so spiritual, allowing you to gain power and even stay young on it?"

Hearing this, William just silently shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

But Wu Wang's sarcasm echoed even more clearly in his ears: "No, you know, you just don't dare to admit it."

"The foundation for creating the Mary ship is Mary!"

"Her flesh and blood were incorporated into the ship, her soul was imprisoned here!"

"You want to use the power that imprisons her to awaken her consciousness?"

"No wonder Mary said you were a self-deceiving hypocritical liar."

All of this, of course, was told to Wu Wang by Mary herself in the [Kitchen].

That Spirit Venerable of the Desire Sea was never a benevolent god.

He was just a devil who liked to play with people's hearts and witness the fermentation of desires.

At this point, the truth came out.

Most likely, from the beginning, William's interactions with Mary were filled with his petty thoughts of wanting to curry favor with the powerful, but in this process, he did have some affection for Mary.

Unfortunately, this little bit of affection.

Was vulnerable to the desire for power and status.

He couldn't accept that the reputation and status he had already obtained would be ruined by a woman rumored to be promiscuous.

Didn't his abandonment back then also involve his ulterior motives?

William wasn't as innocent as the story made him out to be.

Perhaps the only sincerity in the whole story.

Was that he really didn't want to kill Mary.

Only this accidental miss was real, and isn't that a hypocritical irony?

In order to create the perfect image in his mind.

William tried every means to wake Mary up, to make her say with her own mouth that he was not wrong in any way.

His heart had long been driven mad.

Deceiving Mary, deceiving the powerful, even deceiving himself.

He had long been immersed in the ocean of desire.

"The [Kitchen] is the countless fragments of Mary's soul that have been imprisoned. She lost her own consciousness and became a puppet serving guests. You had the opportunity to free her, just destroy the Mary ship, but you blindly transferred the ritual power to the Mary ship itself again and again," Wu Wang sighed and shook his head.

"You keep strengthening the power of the Mary ship, which makes it even more difficult for her consciousness to awaken."

"That's why you can never enter the [Kitchen]."

"How could she let you in?"

[Side Quest 2: Understand the Truth of the Kitchen]

[Completed]

With Wu Wang's desperate explanation, William looked at Mary on the stage with a pale face.

Hoping to get her denial.

But Mary just said softly:

"People can't come back to life after death, even the Spirit Venerable of the Desire Sea can't do it. The current me is just a combination of Number Five's free thought and the soul fragments on the Mary ship, giving birth to a completely new consciousness. The former Mary has been freed."

She has all of Mary's memories.

But she is not Mary.

Her consciousness has completely dissipated.

This is a liberation for Mary.

"Now, it's time for you to fulfill the bet."

The next second, Mary spoke the cold words herself.

This made William's whole body tremble.

Yes, there was still a bet.

When someone at the fifth night's masquerade ball still chose their previous partner, William lost the bet.

He voluntarily went to his death.

"Hahahaha… Hahahaha…"

William's bitter laughter grew louder and louder, eventually turning into a mad frenzy.

"Hahahaha! I'm not wrong! You're the ones who are wrong!"

"I'm not afraid of death!"

"Because I've never been wrong from the beginning to the end!"

He took trembling steps, laughing maniacally as he walked towards the railing outside the door.

Looking at the sea in the night, even though the cruise ship was as bright as day, it was as dark as ink.

The salty sea breeze scattered the few remaining white hairs on his head.

Just like how a clown always laughs at the audience when a humorous comedy comes to an end and the clown exits the stage.

William turned to look at Mary in her red dress.

A crystal tear rolled down the corner of his eye.

Am I really not wrong?

His whole body leaned back and flipped over.

Plop—

In the ocean where he had sailed for decades.

William chose his own grave.

He didn't commit suicide in front of everyone in an ugly way, but was buried at sea, submerging everything.

The music in the center of the dance floor also came to an end.

Mary looked at the empty seat in front of the piano.

It was as if the little pianist who had first taken the stage that year, immediately left the stage after the performance, leaving the position vacant.

Without fame, he couldn't attract anyone's attention.

Just as humble as the waiters at the ball.

"Sir, where are you going now?"

Mary took a deep breath and wiped away the tears that had not yet flowed out.

Lifting the hem of her skirt, she crossed her legs.

Smiling, she gave Wu Wang an elegant aristocratic curtsy.

"Me? I'm just a passing Kamen Rider, my journey is in the sea of stars!" Wu Wang joked: "Go to the distant place you want to go."

However, Mary still maintained her smile.

She nodded and said: "What I want to do now is to follow you, sir, to witness true freedom, may your will spread far and wide."

[You have completed the main quest]

[You can stay in the current copy for up to 2 hours]

[Leave copy now?]

Wu Wang smiled and chose "No."

There are still 2 hours, enough to steal some jewelry and other things that are easy to sell and try to stuff them into my backpack to bring back to reality.

Damn it, this cruise ship is really valuable!

Oh, no, that's not right, now the cruise ship is mine.

How can this be considered stealing? It's just a reasonable transfer of assets.

However, before Wu Wang could take a step to pry the gold and jewelry on the door frame.

The system prompt sounded again in his ear—

[Congratulations, you have obtained the qualification for "Audience"]

[The "Stairway to Audience" is being opened]

[Countdown: 3… 2… 1]

[Wish you a successful audience]

"Ah? No, buddy! My money!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Wang disappeared out of thin air in the ballroom…

The masquerade ball is over! William's mask was finally revealed.

Next, in reality, it will not only be bragging, the secret of the audience and the problem of the Disaster Cult in reality, as well as the plan of Xie Zhi to pull Wu Wang into it, will also be opened! Reality will become another copy!
