Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

The sky was getting light and the sun was rising in the east.

The Eternal City, which never sleeps, begins to radiate new vitality.

Countless lights went out in homes and never came back on, and no one knows how many character death requests the Rebirth Pool received last night.

But most people knew very well that the number of residents who died that night was probably far greater than the total number of residents who died in the previous hundred years of the Eternal City.

Especially the person who started this whole thing.

But he didn't care about that at all.

Wu Wang simply stood in front of the mirror and silently looked at his forehead.

It is clearly shown above—

[Leadership Officer]

Trust score: 920301

[Heretical Value: Heresy]

His trust level continues to skyrocket. Since the "Suicide Show" program started airing, in just a few dozen hours, Wu Wang's trust level has almost reached one-fifth of the city's population.

Five million—that's the number he had Bai Cha retrieve from the database at the law enforcement headquarters.

The population of Eternal City has remained stable for over a hundred years.

This is something that Wu Wang also finds hard to understand.

The Eternal City restricts everyone's social status, but it does not restrict freedom of love and marriage.

In other words, people still fall in love and have children.

However, the fact that the city's total population could remain unchanged for such a long time under these circumstances suggests that there is definitely something wrong with it.

After some investigation, Wu Wang discovered the problem.

"You don't have to support the children you give birth to?" He really couldn't understand this abstract concept.

Hearing his shock, Bai Cha nodded matter-of-factly and said, "That's right. All pregnant women in Eternal City need to enter the [Birth Pool] for automatic delivery. After the child leaves the mother's body, the [City System] will conduct a comprehensive examination and plan his/her career and identity for the rest of his/her life. When he/she grows up in the incubation chamber to adulthood, he/she will be allowed to awaken. During this process, he/she will also be instilled with common sense about life and the history of Eternal City through brain-computer interface."

"Of course, if a pregnant woman does not perform the above procedures, she will be considered a heretic, and her unborn child will not be allowed to be born."

Wu Wang frowned and said, "Didn't you and Bai Ta have a childhood together? Didn't you two grow up like this?"

He remembered clearly that when Bai Cha introduced the meaning of flowers, she said that Bai Ta had excellent grades since childhood and loved to study flowers.

The phrase "from childhood" proves that they both had a childhood.

Seeing Wu Wang's confusion, Bai Cha smiled and said, "Oh, that's because we are the first generation of residents of Eternal City. The [Eternal Life Field] was only developed after we were born. People like us have the right to decide to retain our childhood memories. Of course, this only applies to our childhood. We cannot retain the professional memories of our [reincarnation] lives."

Wu Wang remained silent after listening.

The Eternal City hasn't been reported to be constantly expanding, which means that resources are also limited within its limited land area, making it impossible for an ordinary city to support an unsustainable population.

Therefore, Eternal City must be trying to find a way to balance newborns and those who are deleted.

Now he understands how this balance is achieved.

"What would you do if I told you that there are no newborns, only new reincarnations?" Wu Wang asked, raising an eyebrow.

Bai Cha paused for a moment, then asked, somewhat confused, "What do you mean?"

Looking at the peanuts beside him with great interest, Wu Wang shrugged and continued:

"To put it simply, the probability of a resident getting pregnant in Eternal City is predetermined. Only when a resident chooses to 'reincarnate' will another couple in the city become pregnant. What you think is a new life is actually just the person who chose to 'reincarnate' becoming the newborn."

"Therefore, the population will remain stable forever."

There is no life without death.

This is the conclusion drawn from the fall of Wu.

Upon hearing these words from him, Bai Cha wore an expression of disbelief and subconsciously retorted, "Lord Yan Shuangying, whether your statement is correct or not is another matter. It could very well be judged as heresy. Please do not say it in public. I...I..."

Bai Cha seemed somewhat incoherent.

Wu Wang patted her head and teased, "According to the rules of Eternal City, you should have reported me by now, but you didn't. You just told me not to talk about it in public, but you ignored what you heard and even helped cover it up. Bai Cha, you've changed. Guess again how much [Heretical Value] you have in my eyes?"

Because Bai Cha's status as a law enforcement officer was manually entered into the law enforcement officer database by Wu Wang.

Without being modified by the [City System], she naturally lacks the ability for law enforcement officers to see [Trust Value] and [Heretical Value].

Bai Cha's face turned slightly pale upon hearing Wu Wang's words.

She was terrified of hearing from the other person that she had become a "heretic".

But Wu Wang didn't say much, just let her think wildly on her own.

The way he patted Bai Cha's head just now wasn't an affectionate gesture.

Instead, they quietly changed the heresy value above the other party's head, which had soared to 100, to 0.

Yes, as Bai Cha became more and more proficient in using the heretical abilities granted by the ring, her heretical value increased.

If she doesn't try to hide it, she'll probably be arrested on the spot if other law enforcement officers see her.

At the time, these words made Bai Cha realize that she was about to truly become a heretic.

More importantly—Wu Wang noticed a strange blind spot.

Therefore, the so-called "privilege of retaining childhood memories for the first generation of Eternal City residents" mentioned by Bai Cha is absolutely non-existent.

Or rather, this is a privilege enjoyed only by White Tea and White Tower in the entire Eternal City.

Because the Eternal City is essentially an electronic program designed by Hua Wuyin.

Where did Bai Cha and Bai Ta get their lives before the so-called "Eternal Life Field" was created?

Wu Wang believed that the [Eternal Life Field] must have existed in the Eternal City from the very beginning.

The earlier stories are merely historical texts and did not actually exist.

If that's the case, why preserve so-called childhood memories for white tea and white pagodas?

Of course, there is another point—if Peanut and White Tea are really the same person, and White Pagoda cloned or copied his sister.

Why is it that only peanuts are something Bai Ta values ​​and absolutely cannot die, while he doesn't care at all about Bai Cha's death and resurrection by the [Rebirth Pool].

After all, Wu Wang had heard Bai Cha say that she had died several times while accompanying law enforcement officers to arrest heretics, even before she became a heretic, during her time at Baita.

The White Pagoda didn't seem to care much about this.

Even though he had "accidentally" caused Bai Cha's death once at the beginning, he did not see Bai Ta send heretics to stop it.

Logically speaking, even if clones do exist, they should be cloned from white tea.

But how can a clone be more important than the original?
In addition, Wu Wang had previously been helped by the City System in the Eternal Building.

He had seen Hua Wuyin's sister's name in the code of Hua Wuyin's room, and it was even noted as "Current Dominant Consciousness of the City System." In other words, it was Hua Wuyin's sister who helped him back then, and even asked him to rescue her brother who seemed to be in no danger.

Both pairs of siblings seem to have many secrets about each other.

Judging from the current situation, Wu Wang believes that the problems with Bai Cha and Bai Ta mostly stem from their creator, Hua Wuyin.

Similarly, once the secret of the Bai siblings is solved, Hua Wuyin's problem will become clearer.

At that time, he will also figure out why the [City System] wanted him to save Hua Wuyin.

This is why Wu Wang started discussing various heretical ideas with Bai Cha early in the morning, trying to observe her changing attitudes.

But he also understood that such things couldn't be rushed.

Trying to cram all the information into white tea at once could backfire.

So, after discussing this part...

Wu Wang's gaze also shifted to the television set next to him, which was broadcasting the news.

A handsome middle-aged man is raising his arms and shouting in the news.

This person was the mayor I had seen in the Eternal Building last night.

In his capacity as mayor, he informed the city of the dangers of the black ring, even showing a man with festering skin who looked to be in great pain, claiming that he had become like that due to the side effects of using the black ring.

Most importantly, he said that prolonged contact with the black ring would cause the user to be repelled by the [Eternal Life Field].

This essentially forces those who possess the rings to choose between two options.

They either possess special abilities and give up immortality, or they relinquish it and return to the embrace of immortality.

After saying that, he also promised that anyone who possessed the ring would be able to have three additional unrestricted rebirths after handing it over at a specific location.

In other words, people who are dissatisfied with their current life can choose to be reborn and have the same choice in their next life, without having to report or apply for any documents.

The reporters at the press conference were buzzing with discussion.

Wu Wang understood that this guy had indeed grasped the sore spot of the residents of Eternal City.

Admittedly, these residents who receive the rings may be tempted by the power to become Homelanders, but this is based on their belief that they can possess the power forever.

But what if the "forever" in this premise is removed?

Faced with this choice between two options.

The vast majority of people would still choose immortality.

Yes, the allure of immortality far surpasses any other external force, even if these people have become so numb in the process of achieving immortality that they need shows like "suicide shows" to stimulate their minds.

But this doesn't make them willingly give up immortality.

To be alive is the greatest reward.

Click——

Wu used the controller to switch channels.

That was a famous writer from the Eternal City giving the same warning during a live broadcast, and he even said he would write this horrifying thing into his works so that future generations could learn from it.

Continue switching channels.

The leading figure in the catering industry of Eternal City recounted the effects of using the Black Ring on his sense of taste; a musician tearfully explained that his wife had mistakenly used the Black Ring the previous night, unfortunately suffering from its side effects, resulting in complete hearing loss that could not be restored through the [Rebirth Pool]; and a fitness star was lamenting the Black Ring's side effects, causing his muscles to atrophy, his speech even appearing somewhat incoherent and contradictory, but seeing his pointed head, Wu Wang decided to forgive him…

Even the staff of the "Suicide Show" broadcasted that one of the top 16 contestants who advanced in yesterday's competition became mentally unstable after touching the black ring, and was forced to miss today's round of 16.

In short, you can hear complaints about the dangers of the Black Ring from almost every business and government official that affects the daily lives of the residents of the Eternal City, as well as from household names.

It was as if this thing was destroying the Eternal City like a plague.

Well, while it is indeed being destroyed, it's definitely not as they say.

They are turning black into white.

They forced the residents to hand over the ring and destroyed it.

"Oh, it seems it's not just the heretical organization in the White Tower that's rebelling against you. There are also some clear-headed people among the residents of Eternal City who are using their fame and social status to suppress you." Peanut's expression became interesting, and there was even a sense that he couldn't help but laugh.

She walked up to Wu Wang and asked, "Yan Shuangying, what should you do?"

Before Wu Wang could speak, Peanut pondered for a moment and said, "Let me guess, you'll have your 'Free Will' organization go to various fields and even live streams to refute the claims, spreading the hope and beauty brought by the ring, trying to guide public opinion back?"

"Heh, I'd like to see how you compete with these people of high social standing for the right to speak. Their words are authority and truth in the ears of the residents of Eternal City. Do you think people will believe these people or your sophistry?"

During a mission with White Tea, Peanut noticed that those who possessed the rings were gradually becoming more organized and less individualistic.

There have even been rare instances where ring holders, just when they were about to be defeated by law enforcement, were rescued by other companions.

Also a member of a heretical organization.

Peanut immediately realized that the ring holders were beginning to unite.

This also reminded her of what Yan Shuangying had said in the art warehouse—

"Free will has been spread!"

Without a doubt, this is a new heretical organization that Yan Shuangying created in secret.

That's why she's making these jokes now.

She wanted to see if the public elites of Eternal City, as well as the White Tower heretical organization in secret, were suppressing Yan Shuangying.

How exactly is this guy planning to turn the tables?

However, this was met with peanuts' teasing and speculation.

Wu Wang simply said:

"Manipulating public opinion? That's something I've already done before, I won't do it a second time."

"What do you think I came to Eternal City for?"

"I only do three things—fairness! Fairness! And fucking fairness!"

After saying that, he pointed to the mayor's press conference that was being broadcast on television again.

I recall Hua Wuyin's assessment of these so-called top-tier social figures as idiots in "Eternal Mansion".

He smiled at Peanut and said, "Someone with such a showy face can be mayor? Then so can I."

"He can be replaced. I will lead free will, starting today's [Suicide Show] livestream, from the round of 16 to the round of 8—get ready to take over Eternal City!"

"At that time, I will be both white and black."

"The skies over the Eternal City have been clear and cloudless for a thousand years; it's truly time for a change." (End of Chapter)
