I'm Immortal Speed Pass Supernatural Game

#230 - Each with his own hidden agenda, the identity of a book boy

Xiao Xiao followed the group of players on the way to find the troupe leader.

After all, the corpse of the blue-haired executioner had to be handed over to him.

Looking at the slightly thin back of the pageboy at the front, a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes.

To be honest, she didn't quite trust this guy.

Although what he had done in the instance so far was to try his best to help the players advance the quest and explore the strategy.

In many places, if it weren't for the pageboy, everyone wouldn't have been able to understand things so quickly.

Even the important deduction that the players were in the "underworld," if he hadn't pointed it out, perhaps it would have been too late by the time they discovered it themselves.

But she felt that the pageboy was hiding more secrets.

Of course, as players, basically everyone has some secrets, which is normal.

But the feeling the pageboy gave her was like an unfathomable abyss.

Essentially, he didn't really care about the instance's strategy progress or the life and death of other players, he just wanted to achieve some kind of his own purpose in the process of the strategy.

His secrets might affect whether everyone can leave this instance alive.

The most important thing is that she came here not just to clear the nightmare-level instance.

What she wanted to do was—

[Remove the curse on her body]

That damned curse had trapped her body in this loli child appearance forever.

If it was just the change in body, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The key is that Xiao Xiao had begun to find that she not only had no resistance to the appearance of a child in reality, but was even becoming more and more accustomed to it.

This habit does not refer to visual or physiological habits.

Rather, some of her common sense perceptions and intelligence levels were beginning to strangely align with this age.

She was becoming a toddler in the truest sense!

If she allowed it to develop, then the day would come when she could no longer regard herself as an experienced player, but enter the instance with the mentality of a toddler.

Then it would be almost equivalent to death.

"Sister Zijing, can your talisman really clear any curse?" Xiao Xiao quickened her pace, came to Zijing's side, and asked.

The other party raised her eyebrows and replied confidently: "I can't say any, but most curse-type existences can be removed immediately, unless the level of the curse is so powerful that it requires a [Legendary] level effect or higher to deal with it, then there is no way. What's wrong?"

Hearing her words, Xiao Xiao took a deep breath.

Then she pulled the other party aside and whispered, "I can pay you with props and equipment as a reward, trade for a chance to remove the curse, how about it?"

The reason for entering this instance was naturally for a reason.

She had encountered a strange old man when she was trading in [Lingzai Square].

To be honest, among the players, it was still very surprising to see an old man with white hair who looked at least seventy years old.

After all, being able to come back alive from the instance at this age is enough to be called a miracle.

At that time, Xiao Xiao was selling a prop drawn from the settlement rewards of the instance.

It looked like a radio.

But she couldn't get a familiar appraiser to successfully identify its specific effect.

She could only identify that the level of this thing itself was only [Exquisite].

I don't know which idiot was idle and put an uncertain [Legendary] level seal on an [Exquisite] prop.

Going to a higher-level appraiser would obviously be a bit of a loss.

It is estimated that the appraisal fee is higher than the value of the prop itself.

Just when she sighed that she had drawn a useless prop, the old man came up and wanted to make a deal.

He claimed to be [Diviner].

If she was willing to give him this radio, he could help Xiao Xiao calculate three hexagrams.

Just when Xiao Xiao thought this guy had a problem with his brain, he unexpectedly pointed out that there was a curse on Xiao Xiao.

Named [Childhood Lock].

Xiao Xiao had never encountered someone who could see this curse at first glance, and even knew its name.

So, with a try-it-out mentality, thinking that it was just an [Exquisite] prop that couldn't be tested for its effect, she gave it to [Diviner].

The other party calculated three hexagrams and gave the names of three instances.

They are [Masquerade Ball], [Old Battlefield], and [Pear Garden Anecdotes].

He said that in these three instances, there are ways to remove the [Childhood Lock].

As for whether she can grasp it, it all depends on Xiao Xiao's own luck.

She barely believed it.

She went to [Masquerade Ball], but she didn't remove the curse, and was almost killed by a black cat bitch.

She didn't make it to [Old Battlefield]. She couldn't find the bronze token, and later she heard that this instance seemed to have collapsed and would never appear again.

Now it is the last [Pear Garden Anecdotes].

Currently, the most promising way to remove the curse is Zijing's talisman.

If this doesn't work, and the curse hasn't been removed after leaving the instance alive, she will definitely physically argue with that old man!

The other party carefully looked at Xiao Xiao and finally shook her head and said: "I refuse."

"Why?" Xiao Xiao frowned and asked: "The reward is negotiable. Bargaining should have a back-and-forth process, right? How can you refuse it right away?"

But Zijing spread her hands helplessly and said: "It's not a matter of reward, but I don't feel the aura of a curse on you at all."

"How can I use the talisman to help you remove the curse?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao was silent.

Is it wrong...? Since Zijing can't feel the curse of [Childhood Lock], then naturally she can't remove it.

Damn [Diviner]! Where is the opportunity you said!

They continued in silence until everyone found the troupe leader at the theater.

The other party seemed to have just finished talking with the prince and was leading the refined Li Ling from the theater.

Seeing everyone approaching, he frowned and asked: "Where is Bai Sha? Where did he go?"

Everyone looked at each other.

They didn't expect that the first thing the troupe leader asked was the whereabouts of the widow.

The pageboy took a step forward and explained: "He is still in the Nuo Opera Garden, saying that he has some private matters to deal with. Fearing that you would be waiting anxiously outside, he asked us to bring the corpse out for you to deal with first."

One sentence cleared their responsibility.

It seemed certain that the troupe leader would believe that Bai Sha voluntarily stayed in the Nuo Opera Garden.

Even more strangely, the troupe leader actually stopped asking after hearing this.

Instead, he glanced at the corpse of the blue-haired executioner.

Li Ling immediately understood and stepped forward to take it, carrying it on his shoulder and leaving into the distance.

Afterwards, the troupe leader pointed to the theater and said with a serious face: "The prince will watch the play tomorrow, you should still rest well tonight, don't delay tomorrow's play, understand?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.

This should be the trap and danger used to confuse the players in the instance.

If they still think that the danger in the instance comes from the various parks and daily performances like last night, then they will definitely die on the fifth day.

As for tomorrow's play... According to today's situation, fighting against the prince is actually the least dangerous of these strange situations.

After all, the prince is also limited in the process of acting.

He will perform and end according to the content of the play.

With many props and equipment, the probability of everyone surviving is very high.

But other weirdness is different, that is really unpredictable.

Therefore, the clue to be sought tonight is a way to get the troupe master to help them return to the human world.

"Mo Hun, you stay here, the rest of you go back and rest," the troupe master said.

The others raised their eyebrows and looked at the pageboy.

Mo Hun was naturally his stage name in this Yiyuan.

Last night, it was the widow who was asked to stay, and now it's the pageboy.

What exactly does this troupe master want to say to them?

But now the three of them couldn't speak up, so they could only turn around and leave.

When there was no one around.

The troupe master then led the pageboy into the theater.

The Prince was still sitting in the audience, sipping his wine.

His tall and mighty figure was extremely conspicuous.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu!

Hearing the sound of someone coming in, he said without turning his head: "How is the matter going?"

"Not bad," the pageboy said casually.

The troupe master frowned.

He slapped the other party's forehead and cursed: "What do you mean not bad! This is related to the Prince's great plan for resurrection! If you delay the auspicious time, I will cut off your head first to apologize!"

After saying that, the troupe master walked to the Prince's side.

He picked up another glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

He said with a ferocious expression: "Mo Hun, you don't want to be like your old master, chopped into eight pieces and thrown on the roadside for wild dogs to take away, do you?"

"Only you know the specific operational details of the [Five Flowers Tune] now. If there is a problem, you will be the first to take responsibility, understand?"

If other players were here, I don't know how shocked they would be.

The pageboy's true identity is definitely not what he said, that he is a fugitive suspect caught by the troupe master.

He faced the troupe master's threat.

Also quite calmly.

He walked forward with an indifferent attitude, picked up the last glass of wine and sipped it carefully.

He smiled with an expression of watching a good show: "Don't worry, Troupe Master Yu, the Prince is still calm, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Could it be that you want to use the [Five Flowers Tune] to do something else that you don't want the Prince to know about?"

As soon as these words came out, the Prince glanced at the troupe master.

Then he looked at the pageboy and remained silent.

Looking at the pageboy's appearance of being unafraid of boiling water, the troupe master was furious.

But he was indeed a little worried that things would be exposed.

Because the Prince really didn't know the troupe master's plan.

In this copy, there are two people who need the [Five Flowers Tune] ritual.

One is that the troupe master plans to use it to resurrect Lou Yu and see his beloved again.

One is that the Prince plans to use it to resurrect himself and get rid of his zombie body.

Originally, there was another one that the troupe master thought was Bai Sha.

In the troupe master's understanding, Bai Sha has a wife who he has loved for many years, who died in an accident not long ago.

Therefore, he used the idea of [Five Flowers Tune] to coax the other party to help identify the birthdates and zodiac signs corresponding to each person, so that he mistakenly thought that he could save his wife.

Of course, this Bai Sha is actually no longer valid.

Because Wu Wang will not care about that irrelevant matter.

It's just that the troupe master still thinks he needs it.

But the problem that still exists now is—

There is only one puppet for the [Five Flowers Tune].

Which also means that only one of the troupe master and the Prince can get their wish.

Obviously, the absolute overwhelming force possessed by the Prince is the biggest threat.

Once he learns that the troupe master intends to use the [Five Flowers Tune] to do something else and does not intend to let him get rid of this zombie body.

It is estimated that his anger will raze the entire Xishen Yiyuan to the ground.

"Don't talk nonsense! Back then, your old master was executed after performing the ritual at the Nuo Opera Garden because he was gossiping behind his back."

"Do you also want to end up like this?"

The pageboy shrugged and ignored the troupe master.

The other party's words actually pointed out his true identity.

That's right! The role played by the pageboy.

It was the personal disciple of the Taoist priest who came to perform the ritual after the haunting in the Nuo Opera Garden that year.

At the same time, the Prince inquired from the Taoist priest about who knew the [Five Flowers Tune].

Unfortunately, the Prince died too strangely and unexpectedly that year.

He didn't have time to learn from him how to summon the dead from the underworld to the human world after the [Five Flowers Tune] puppet was made.

It happened to be in the well of the Nuo Opera Garden where the Taoist priest had just finished the ritual that he died.

The soldiers loyal to the Prince believed that the old Taoist had done some evil magic to harm the Prince.

Without saying a word, they beheaded him to avenge him.

But the old Taoist's reputation was also considered prominent, and he had helped many people solve evil problems.

After killing him, many people were resentful, thinking that these soldiers did not investigate the real murderer, but instead blamed this matter on a Taoist priest.

In order to quell public anger, the soldiers spread the word to the outside world that—

This old Taoist insulted the Prince's body, gossiped behind his back, saying that the Prince's death was because God wanted to take him away, saying that the Prince deserved to die.

Judging from the degree of worship that the Prince was deified among the people.

Soon the direction of public opinion turned.

The people who supported the Prince began to scold the old Taoist, belittling him to nothing.

Even some people who had received help from the old Taoist in the past.

The first thing they did was to check whether there was any evil thing in their home, fearing that the old Taoist would also harm their family.

This world is so absurd.

Even if you want to kill someone openly and honestly.

You only need to find a high hat and put it on him, and you can justify it.

Then you can kill him without worrying about the details.

And now, the meaning of Mo Hun's existence in the copy, and why the pageboy knows so much about the various parks.

It is precisely because only he knows the procedure after the [Five Flowers Tune] puppet is made.

Therefore, the troupe master had already told him about the dangers in the park.

Let him assist Bai Sha in killing the other five people to seize the corresponding limbs.

As for why the troupe master and the Prince don't do it themselves.

It's very simple, because there is also a rule for the making of the [Five Flowers Tune].

That is—[The person to be summoned must not be stained with blood recently, otherwise not only will the designated target not be summoned, but also some fierce and ominous lonely souls and wild ghosts will be attracted to attach to the puppet].

This point is only known to the three people in the theater now.

Therefore, whether the troupe master or the Prince wants the [Five Flowers Tune] to succeed.

They cannot kill the players themselves.

This is also one of the reasons why the pageboy is so unscrupulous.

In fact, acting with the Prince will not really mean death. At most, the other party will cut you into serious injuries, and then hand you over to the pageboy or Wu Wang for disposal.

He has always known this, but he has not told those frightened players.

Of course, killing the blue-haired executioner was not because he really wanted to complete the [Five Flowers Tune].

It was indeed because he accepted a bounty order on [Lingzai Square].

It's just respecting professional ethics, and by the way, he can gain the trust of the two major BOSS in the copy. Why not?

But now, he has discovered something more interesting in the copy.

"[Death], how much will His mark change this copy?"

Thinking of this, the pageboy looked at the Prince and the troupe master.

He grinned and asked:

"Let's continue talking about the things to be done."

"Prince, I have been to the well."

"[Extraterrestrial object] does exist..."
