I'm Immortal Speed Pass Supernatural Game

“So, how much do you really know about this instance? Or rather, who exactly are you?”

Zi Jin stood at the entrance of the Nuo Opera Garden and said to the pageboy.

The three female players all had strange expressions.

The pageboy did indeed bring them out of the Nuo Opera Garden after obtaining the corpse of the [Executioner].

The price was leaving his own white dragon robe in the realm representing the underworld forever.

But this also aroused their suspicion.

Because having this kind of method meant that the other party didn't actually need the [Godhead Mask] that the troupe leader provided to Wu Wang to enter the Nuo Opera Garden.

This place couldn't trap him at all.

Even in the Nuo Opera Garden, all the knowledge he knew about the opera, and the professionalism he showed when performing the Nuo dance…

Saying he had researched the instance was an understatement.

It was as if he had looked up a walkthrough in advance.

This made people have to suspect his identity.

Or what he wanted to do.

However, facing their doubts.

The pageboy just smiled and said, “Who am I? That question comes at a different price. Why don't we talk about the stories told by those masked ghosts first?”

At this, the three looked at each other.

If this guy wasn't willing to say, they really couldn't force him.

But in this situation.

Can what he says really be trusted?

Seeing the hesitation of the three, the pageboy shrugged helplessly and said, “Please, if I wanted to harm you, why would I save you? Wouldn't it be better to leave you in the Nuo Opera Garden to be scapegoats with the undead?”

What he said made sense.

But it always felt like something was strange.

In the end, Zi Jin still sighed and said, “What information do you need us to provide in exchange for this information?”

Their current information was frighteningly scarce.

To be honest, she had never experienced such a bizarre instance.

It was already the evening of the second day.

Apart from the information she knew from the beginning of the instance, she hadn't found out anything.

Now she had even lost the only instance item, the hairpin.

Zi Jin really needed clues and information to decide her next course of action.

“It's very simple, I want to know what you're hiding?” the pageboy said playfully.

As soon as he said this, the other three immediately looked serious.

How did he know they were hiding something?

Seeming to see through everyone's thoughts, the pageboy explained indifferently, “In this instance, everyone has done some unspeakable things before entering.”

“For example, I am a wanted criminal of the imperial court, hiding in this Opera God Righteous Garden to eke out a living.”

“The troupe leader knows my identity. He holds my weakness and can report me at any time, threatening me to do some things for him.”

“My character's side quest is to get rid of the troupe leader and bury this secret forever.”

“What about you? You must have some secrets, right?”

This sentence made the others stunned.

He… just casually revealed his secret?

At this moment, Zi Jin really couldn't understand what the pageboy was planning to do.

Having this kind of secret in the instance, to put it bluntly.

If someone were to report the pageboy's identity as a wanted criminal to the prince, he would most likely die in the northwest immediately.

If he didn't say this kind of thing.

They wouldn't know how long it would take to find out, or they might even be kept in the dark all the time.

Wasn't he afraid of death?

After thinking for a moment, Zi Jin compromised.

She shook her head helplessly and said, “Since you've said so much, then I'll be frank.”

“I am the illegitimate daughter of the old troupe leader, and I want to come back and seize the position of troupe leader of the Opera God Righteous Garden.”

“My character's side quest… is also to kill the troupe leader.”

“What I'm hiding is a proof of identity, used to inherit the Opera God Righteous Garden.”

Hearing her words, Qiao Biluo frowned in confusion and said, “Wait, you also want to kill the troupe leader?”

“Also?” A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

Qiao Biluo nodded and explained, “Because my character's side quest is also to kill the troupe leader.”

“I was sent by another righteous garden to bring down the Opera God Righteous Garden.”

“When I was a child, I came here to secretly learn according to the instructions of the main family. I should have returned to the main family after completing my studies.”

“But a few days ago, I received a message from the main family, asking me to kill the troupe leader and then escape.”

“What I'm hiding is the identity plate of another righteous garden.”

At this time, everyone turned their attention to Xiao Xiao.

She lowered her head and sighed, “I also have to kill the troupe leader…”

“My character and the undead's white robe are half-siblings.”

“Not long ago, I learned from a secret conversation between an old servant and the troupe leader that he wanted to use Bai Sha's and my lives for some kind of sacrifice.”

“In order to protect myself, I decided to take the lead and kill him.”

“What I'm hiding is… a cursed puppet.”

She lied.

Xiao Xiao didn't mention the helmet.

She didn't even mention her true identity.

Of course, the sibling relationship between Bai Sha and herself was also fake.

She wasn't worried about being exposed either.

After all, the undead wasn't here now.

Even if he escaped later, and the others went to him to verify.

Xiao Xiao had a premonition that the bastard would definitely choose to help her hide it with a mentality of watching the fun.

Mainly because he wanted to see what kind of tricks she could come up with.

As for the cursed puppet, there was no need to worry about any flaws.

Because she really had one.

Last night, the cursed puppet in the puppet garden was quietly taken back by her.

Of course, the focus now was—

Everyone's side quest was actually to kill the troupe leader?

This also made them subconsciously not think too much about the possibility that Xiao Xiao's identity was problematic.

Snap—

The pageboy snapped his fingers.

While nodding, he said, “So that's how it is, then I'll talk about the story told by the masked ghost first, and you'll know where the problem lies.”

After saying that, a large number of white papers slipped out of his sleeve again.

These papers began to fold automatically like crazy.

After a while, they formed four paper figures with different appearances, and the excess paper also formed a familiar small courtyard.

There was also a paper-扎 well in the courtyard, which was obviously the place where everyone had just escaped.

And those paper figures were also obviously characterized—

One was wearing a military uniform and holding a broadsword, one was yellowing and wearing a robe, one had a hairpin on his head, and one had a black and white painted face.

Among them, the yellowing paper figure hugged the black and white painted face paper figure and slowly walked towards the well.

Under the gaze of the military uniform paper figure, he threw the other party into the well.

All of this was clearly seen by the hairpin paper figure hiding on the roof of the courtyard.

At the moment when the black and white painted face paper figure fell into the well, the hairpin paper figure turned red all over.

And the yellowing paper figure seemed to see something terrifying, lying on the edge of the well and waving at the military uniform paper figure non-stop.

He was also a little curious, so he walked over.

But when the military uniform paper figure arrived at the edge of the well, the yellowing paper figure suddenly pushed the other party into the well from behind.

The pageboy even considerately made a paper water droplet splash effect on the wellhead.

Proving that the opposite party did fall into the bottom of the well.

The yellowing paper figure seemed to feel that he had completed some great feat, and kept gesticulating at the well.

But unexpectedly, in his ecstasy, he slipped and fell towards the well, tumbling into it.

Just at this critical moment, fortunately, he managed to grab the edge of the well, preventing an immediate fall.

However, due to years of dampness, there was a considerable amount of fine moss around the well's edge.

In the paper well made by the book boy, this was represented by a circle of light green marks.

The yellowed paper figure couldn't successfully climb up.

At this moment, the fiery red hairpin paper figure walked down from the rooftop and stood by the well, reaching out a hand towards the yellowed paper figure.

Just as Zi Jin and the others thought she was going to pull him up,

the hairpin paper figure slowly,

one by one, peeled off the fingers of the yellowed paper figure, fingers that were desperately clinging to the well's edge.

Plop—

He also fell into the well.

Only the fiery red hairpin paper figure remained in the entire courtyard.

She squatted by the well, seemingly lost in thought.

Before long, the hairpin paper figure suddenly stood up, removed the hairpin from her head, and threw it down the well.

At that moment, the fiery red color on her body faded, and black and white patterns began to grow.

Eventually, it formed a bizarre yet familiar painted face.

The scene froze there and didn't move anymore.

Zi Jin and the others looked at the book boy with horrified expressions, muttering to themselves:

"The yellow paper figure is the old troupe leader? The military uniform paper figure is the Prince? The hairpin paper figure is Lou Yu?"

"Then the black and white painted face paper figure is the current troupe leader?"

The three of them were unaware of the memory that Wu Wang had seen, so naturally, they didn't know that the troupe leader used to be called Yu Ji, and was also Lou Yu's childhood sweetheart.

But this didn't prevent them from recognizing the characters and the problem presented in this scene.

If that's really the case,

the troupe leader was the first person to be thrown into the well and sunk to the bottom, and when the old troupe leader brought him over,

he was already motionless.

He was probably just thrown into the well as a corpse; the cause of death was likely inseparable from the old troupe leader and the Prince.

And then the Prince also fell into the well and died.

If that's the case, then who is the troupe leader in the current Xishen Yiyuan?

Who is the imposing zombie Prince that the players saw?

Why is it that Lou Yu, who clearly lived to the end, is nowhere to be found in the current Xishen Yiyuan,

while the troupe leader and the Prince, who should have died, appear here instead?

"You've discovered the problem, haven't you? Lou Yu hasn't disappeared at all; the hairpin was also thrown into the well."

The book boy smiled and said, "But here, everything is reversed, so I suspect that the most crucial problem in this instance lies in—"

"We are already in the underworld!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Zi Jin quickly asked, "What about the underworld in the Nuo Opera Garden just now? What does that count as?"

The book boy explained unhurriedly, "That's also a part of the underworld, or rather, that's the real underworld."

"The Xishen Yiyuan where we are is enveloped by some kind of power, which prevents us from realizing that we are in the underworld; you can understand it as everyone being covered with a filter."

"You know those red and blue color difference 3D glasses, right? The principle is similar to that; our senses are filtered so that we can only feel the parts that are similar to the yang world."

"And the ghosts and monsters seen in the Nuo Opera Garden are because our filters have been stripped away, allowing us to see the real environment we are in."

"Friendly reminder, according to my judgment, we can only last for four and a half days at most."

At this moment, Zi Jin and the others' pupils suddenly shrank.

Recalling their main quest, which is what Wu Wang has been wanting to know—

[Survive for 5 days in Xishen Yiyuan]

That's right! This is a survival quest instance!

Generally speaking, the difficulty of this type of instance is more difficult than other instances that require completing certain conditions.

After all, the Spirit Calamity Game determines that players need to use all their strength just to survive.

Not to mention doing anything necessary.

However, after last night's exploration, coupled with today's acting with the Prince,

before entering the Nuo Opera Garden, they all felt that surviving for five days didn't seem as difficult as they had imagined.

But now, the book boy's words

suddenly made everyone understand where the difficulty of this instance lies.

This is the Xishen Yiyuan in the underworld!

They can't last for five days at all!

Since the players entered the instance right after midnight, today is actually only the complete first day.

If they hadn't realized this problem all along,

they would completely become a member of the underworld by noon on the fifth day at the latest.

The entire team would be annihilated in this instance.

It seems like a survival quest, but in reality, there is also a hidden condition.

Find a way to return to the Xishen Yiyuan in the yang world!

"The troupe leader… the key to the problem lies with the troupe leader," Zi Jin said suddenly, looking at the book boy, "He knows the problem of the Nuo Opera Garden and probably also knows about the existence of the underworld. If we want to escape, we need his help!"

"The troupe leader absolutely cannot die! The side quest is a trap!"

As soon as these words came out, a hint of confusion flashed across Qiao Biluo and Xiao Xiao's faces.

What does it mean that the side quest is a trap? Can quests be wrong?

The book boy couldn't help but smile when he saw their expressions: "Perfectionism is not advisable. This is just a side quest, which means that it was originally optional."

"The Spirit Calamity Game hasn't told you that side quests won't affect the main quest."

This statement made Xiao Xiao suddenly enlightened.

So there are such instances!?

Side quests and main quests are actually contradictory!

At the same time, she also felt a burst of fear.

Indeed, most players, including herself,

would try to do the side quests as much as possible when doing the main quests.

Because the higher the quest completion rate, the richer the settlement rewards, and there is even hope of triggering so-called hidden rewards.

Unexpectedly, this could potentially lead to the failure of the instance!

This kind of trap is really hard to guard against!

Fortunately, she had never encountered this type of instance before, otherwise, she would probably have suffered.

"Not only do we need the troupe leader's help, but we also need to find a way to deal with the masked ghosts," the book boy said, pointing to the Nuo Opera Garden behind him, "That well is also the key. The troupe leader and the Prince are both outside. I suspect that the person in the well is the old troupe leader who should be in the underworld but we have never seen."

"Only he can explain why the troupe leader was killed and why the Prince was pushed into the well."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of Wu Wang, who was bewitched and went mad by the person in the well.

Is that guy really dead?

And the vertical pupil mark of [Death] in the Nuo Opera Garden, how can he bring the old troupe leader out from under its hands to question him?

This instance is truly a well-deserved nightmare…

-----

At the same time, Wu Wang, who fell into the well,

was, as he had been in the dilapidated theater, substituting himself into the first-person perspective to recall.

The scene before him made him exclaim:

"Damn! So white! So big!"
