I'm Immortal Speed Pass Supernatural Game

“You… in reality, are you a thief or an assassin?”

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but ask Wu Wang.

But the moment she said these words, she suddenly frowned, feeling that something was off.

This scene before her seemed strangely familiar.

“Is an artist…”

However, before Wu Wang could finish his reply, she immediately interjected:

“Only you have a mortal enemy who likes to hunt you down in the city at night, so you developed this skill in stealth and trap-making?”

Wu Wang's expression was somewhat unpleasant at being interrupted.

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

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao quickly stepped forward.

She felt that something was wrong.

She wanted him to stop and observe the surrounding environment first.

However, in the process of chasing after Wu Wang.

She found that no matter how fast she walked, she always maintained a distance from the purple swallow-tailed coat of Wu Wang in front of her.

She felt as if she was trapped in Achilles' paradox, never able to catch up with the tortoise that was so close.

Finally, when Xiao Xiao lifted her leg at one point.

She heard the clicking of gears turning and joints twisting.

Subconsciously looking down.

She was horrified to find that her legs were becoming increasingly stiff.

Even reflecting a wooden luster under the moonlight.

“Carving out forms, false images are true…”

Wu Wang turned his head and once again recited eerie poetry.

This familiar feeling immediately caused Xiao Xiao to break out in a cold sweat.

How many times has she come to the puppet show's backstage?

However, in the next second, before the puppet-like Wu Wang could finish reciting the disjointed poetry.

A dark shadow suddenly jumped out of the nearby bushes.

Raising a steel pipe-like stick in his hand, he slammed it hard on the puppet Wu Wang's head.

The force was so great that it directly knocked his head off, rolling around on the ground like a ball.

When the figure turned its head to look at her.

Xiao Xiao was stunned.

It was a humanoid monster with countless blood-red vertical pupils on its head, hair that danced consciously like tentacles, and fingers as sharp as claws, with exposed skin that was a mixture of scales and feathers.

She felt as if her brain had been hit hard with a hammer several times, causing intense pain.

She couldn't help but squat down, covering her head.

Trembling, she took out a bottle of clear water from her backpack that had no brand or label.

When opened, a faint almond scent emanated from it.

[Strange Almond Water (Fine Quality): One of the important items naturally generated in the Backrooms. Its nutritional value is slightly lower than walnut cake. Generally, it is a bottled liquid beverage with a slightly sweet almond flavor, which may appear in several different packages, and sometimes has no packaging.]

[Effect: Drinking it can restore some of the body's twisted damage, helps to maintain sanity and focus.]

[Note: Be sure to make sure it hasn't expired before drinking it, because at this time it is even as dangerous as cashew water, believe me, you don't want to know what the consequences of drinking cashew water are]

Glug, glug—

Xiao Xiao tilted her head and took large gulps of the almond water.

The severe pain in the depths of her brain gradually eased, and the surrounding environment began to distort little by little.

After a moment, she realized that she was not backstage at all.

Instead, she was standing in the center of the stage, holding several wooden rods for manipulating puppets in her hand.

And what she was unconsciously manipulating was the puppet that was identical to her in appearance and dress.

Except its head was now missing.

“Yo, you're awake? Remember, you owe me a life.” Wu Wang's voice came from below the stage.

At this time, Xiao Xiao glanced over.

She was shocked to find him sitting like a spectator with his legs crossed, stepping on a strangely shaped puppet under his feet, playing with a round puppet head in his hand, rotating it with his index finger like a basketball.

Taking a closer look, wasn't that the missing head of the puppet she was controlling?

The thing he was stepping on looked very much like the humanoid monster she had just seen.

“Thank you… what exactly happened?” Xiao Xiao said with an unsightly expression, throwing away the wooden rods in her hand.

Because she found that there was indeed a can of almond water she had finished drinking beside her feet.

This meant that what had just happened was not an illusion.

Wu Wang casually threw away the puppet head.

Touching his chin, he explained slowly: “We said we'd just wander around, and the first place we found was this puppet show garden. I was rummaging through the backstage, and you ran to the stage to look for clues.”

“But I found that you started twitching all over as soon as you went on stage. I thought the purple mood had leaked electricity, and it wasn't good to disturb you. What if you just liked this kind of thing?”

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

This guy was really like Yan Shuangying, even when talking about serious matters, his mouth was full of nonsense.

Wu Wang continued: “Later, I saw you playing a puppet show, and your movements became more and more stiff, but the puppet in your hand became more and more flexible.”

His tone was serious and a little teasing.

“I guess if you played for a few more minutes, you would completely turn into a puppet and stay here for people to play with. The thing in your hand would become another [Xiao Xiao] and mix into the players, but I don't know if she can inherit your backpack and equipment.”

With that, he stood up and waved his hand, preparing to leave the garden.

After all, he had already obtained what he wanted.

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

How did she remember that what she saw at the beginning were two puppets that were completely identical to herself and Wu Wang?

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

But where did Wu Wang's puppet go? What is this monster puppet?

She casually glanced at her mental strength.

It had already fallen from [37] to the scope of [24].

This was still the state after some recovery with almond water.

“Weren't you mentally polluted?”

Hearing Xiao Xiao's doubts.

Wu Wang recalled what had just happened.

He grinned and smiled: “Mental pollution? What is that? I've never encountered it in a dungeon. Maybe it's just good luck.”

Ten minutes ago.

When he saw Xiao Xiao walking onto the stage in a daze and starting to manipulate the puppet.

A puppet that looked exactly like him seemed to want to do something too.

But when the mental pollution covered it, preparing to control Wu Wang's body.

The puppet and the red vertical pupil on his wrist met eyes.

In just an instant, it cracked and turned into this strange shape.

Heh, playing mental pollution in front of the Abyss God?

Buddy, you might as well go act in Up.

Play the flying house in it.

But Wu Wang didn't rush to save Xiao Xiao.

Instead, he continued to rummage for something.

That was something that Wu Wang had recorded on a piece of paper hidden inside his clown suit when he was lying in bed.

It was also the reason why Wu Wang seemed to be wandering around randomly, but was actually deliberately looking for the location of the puppet show garden.

At that time, because Xiao Xiao's scarecrow was spying, it was not easy for him to take it out and observe it directly.

After pointing out the existence of the scarecrow, Xiao Xiao took it back.

He secretly took it out and took a look while he was turning over the eaves.

The note read—

[The method of distinguishing the attributes of the five elements, the art of calculating the eight characters of the birth date]

[Hidden in the puppet puppet]
