Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 546 The Electronic Temple of the White Tower

"Xi, you should run away..."

"No! I won't leave! I'll stay and protect you!"

"Fool, my injuries are too severe. I'll only be a burden to you. Let me stay and cover your retreat. Don't cry, you'll be resurrected anyway."

"No! I don't want to! The temporary [Reincarnation Pool] nearby has been destroyed. If you are killed by them and resurrected, you will no longer be a heretic and will not remember me! You will not be the person I love then!"

"Heh, you finally admit you like me... That's great. It's a pity I can't stay with you any longer. Escape from here and live a good life as a heretic."

An unconventional couple is expressing their deepest feelings for each other in an alleyway in a mini-city.

Admittedly, as heretics who have possessed [Heretic Abilities] for a long time, while they may not be as skilled as the players of the Calamity in using their abilities, they are still much better than the ordinary residents of the Eternal City who have just obtained the Black Ring.

At first, the heretics in the mini-city were also building fortifications to fight against the sudden and furious residents.

However, two fists cannot fight against four hands.

The number of residents is simply too large.

The heretics who could do whatever they wanted in the city now faced a situation where the residents, who possessed power and outnumbered them many times over, were now in a different predicament.

The fortifications gradually collapsed.

Ultimately, they were separated.

They can only break up into smaller groups, disperse, and rely on their familiarity with the mini-city to constantly wage guerrilla warfare in the streets and alleys.

But it also sparked ideas among them similar to those of this unconventional couple.

Since residents are now constantly pouring into the mini-city.

The heretics could also sneak back to the original surface of the Eternal City by relying on the entrances opened by the residents.

No matter what, staying alive is the most important thing.

Just as the heretic finished his heartfelt words and was about to turn around and use his abilities to hold off the pursuing residents so that his beloved could escape,

Two dark figures descended from the sky.

One of them reached out and grabbed his neck. With a slight force, a cracking sound was heard, and the heretic's consciousness gradually faded as his life was extinguished.

In the instant before he closed his eyes, he saw another long-haired, dark figure pull the trigger.

The flames roared as a deadly bullet pierced through the heretic woman who was trying to escape.

The other person's body went limp and they collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.

He was also in despair.

So be it... Die like this... and then be resurrected as an ordinary resident, forgetting all the pain of the present...

On his deathbed, he heard the man who had snapped his neck speak:

"What are you babbling about, getting all sentimental over here?"

"Did the White Pagoda really drug these idiots?"

"Look, these two people died at least ten times when they were in the warehouse. We've made countless backups."

"They don't think they're being their true selves right now, do they? They've been sold out by the White Tower and are still counting the money for him. They might as well forget about all this nonsense."

Hear him say that.

Bai Cha, standing beside him, glanced at the gun in his hand and said softly, "Sir, what about me?"

“I have died many times and been reincarnated countless times. Even the me standing in front of you now is someone who has just been resurrected.”

Am I still the same person I used to be?

"Or is it also a backup that has been copied countless times?"

Wu Wang did not give a direct answer to this.

His gaze turned to the end of the alley. According to his previous memory, it wouldn't be long before he reached the flower shop near the White Pagoda.

He pointed and said, "You have the freedom to find out the answer to that question yourself."

Having said that, Wu Wang strode ahead and led the way.

Those residents of Eternal City who seemed to be venting their frustrations all chose to avoid Wu Wang's face.

They knew perfectly well who had given them this opportunity, and who had exposed the deception of the Eternal City and revealed the truth to the world.

At this moment, Wu Wang's position in their hearts directly replaced the perfect social order of the past.

Of course, in Wu Wang's view, the reason why they were so easily fooled was no different from that of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

The people in this city are too naive.

Their belief in eternity allowed them to live in a near-utopian city, where there was little intrigue and no reverence for death.

To put it bluntly, Wu Wang even felt that the infighting in university student unions was more politically astute than the people here.

When he arrived at the flower shop with white tea.

Push open that mysterious door.

What comes into view is a vibrant scene, completely out of place with the bloodshed and violence happening outside, as if it were the only tranquility in the midst of the noise.

White tea was also drawn to the various exotic flowers.

She remembered that Baita once said he dreamed of opening a flower shop for the two of them, and even the interior design of the shop was the same as the one she had drawn when she was a child.

"He remembers everything, except me..."

White Tea's mood became increasingly depressed.

Just then, Wu Wang's gaze fell on the decorative wall covered with vines.

He reached out and touched it, a strange expression flashing across his face.

"The code here... is so complicated?"

A wall can be decorated with a few flowers and plants, but where did all this thick stack of code come from?

Unless, there's something behind the wall?

Thinking of this, Wu Wang reached out and pressed his hand on the vine, modifying the code within it little by little, causing it to dissipate and wither.

As the thick vines gradually turned yellow, thinned, and dried up and fell off, the creature that had been tightly bound and unable to move was finally revealed.

From its appearance, this thing could barely be identified as human. Its skin had lost all elasticity and clung tightly to its bones. The curves of its ribs, spine, jaw, and other parts were clearly visible, and even the deep pits in its eye sockets looked as grotesque as specimens from a medical school.

It looks exactly like a mummy.

Even the most familiar person probably wouldn't recognize who this guy is.

Apart from Wu Wang, who can directly see the information.

【Red-crowned Crane】

This guy is a missing serious criminal!
Wu Wang guessed that his disappearance must be related to the White Tower, otherwise, the White Tower's ability to be almost like a backpack would be inexplicable.

He never expected that he would be trapped inside this vine wall.

"Oh my god! How... how do we put him down?" Bai Cha was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

After all, the tendrils of the vines had already coiled inside the other person's body, even emerging from various orifices such as the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Even though it's dried up now, I don't know what would happen if I forcibly pulled it off the wall.

To this, Wu Wang simply shook his head and said:
"Don't waste your time, the person is beyond saving."

He could clearly see that the code inside the red-crowned crane was not so much incomplete as it was just a thin layer left.

Most of the code has disappeared, just like the body is still in front of you, but the soul has been extracted.

It was essentially already a corpse.

As the vines receded, not only was the corpse of the Red-crowned Crane exposed, but a hidden door could also be vaguely seen nearby.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Wang reached out and pushed the door open.

What they saw was a dark staircase leading underground. "Wow, the Peach Blossom Spring, huh? It was so narrow at first, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, right?"

While speaking in a language that Bai Cha couldn't understand, Wu Wang pulled her down the stairs.

The sound of their footsteps echoed in the narrow passage.

After a few steps, they arrived at a place that Wu Wang recognized somewhat.

“This place… is somewhat similar to Hua Wuyin’s room?” he said, looking around. “No, it’s even more so. Now it all makes sense.”

Indeed, compared to Hua Wuyin's place, which, although filled with electronic screens and looked like some kind of laboratory, at least had a semblance of a room's shape.

This secret room located beneath the White Tower Flower Shop can only be described as an "electronic nest" or a "digital temple".

The first thing that catches the eye is the four screen walls.

They occupy all the walls, and not in a neat array, but in a layered, staggered ecosystem.

Secondly, there are cables.

They are the vines and roots of this digital temple, the blood vessels flowing with electricity.

Thick bundles of fiber optic cables, as thick as a child's arm, hung from the ceiling, wrapped in bright orange sheaths; bundles of network cables climbed across the floor like vines, barely bound together by heavy anti-static cable ties; colorful cables gushed out from the back panels of various server racks, meandering through homemade wooden cable trays, and finally disappearing behind perforated lead plates in the corner.

The floor is also covered with cables of various directions, all covered with black tape, forming a circuit maze diagram that only the owner can fully understand.

Finally, there's the statue of the saint hanging in the center of the lair...

"Holy crap! It's a feather statue! But that's a peanut!"

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that what was hanging there were actually living people, and these were the peanuts they were looking for.

However, she is currently exhibiting various inexplicable fluorescent states, and if you stare at her, you can almost feel data flowing on her skin, making her look like a human-shaped display screen, which is why people initially mistook her for a statue.

Wu Wang took to the air and discovered that a large number of cables were connected to her body from behind. Almost her entire back was embedded with data cables, which looked like a pair of huge black wings that were spread out, suspending her in mid-air.

There were even quite a few data cables inserted directly into the back of her head, which was rather chilling.

"Peanut! Peanut!" Bai Cha called out anxiously.

But Peanut didn't react at all; he kept his eyes closed, his expression so serene it could be described as peaceful.

In response, Wu Wang could only forcibly wake her up by modifying the code.

However, it was discovered that both the data cables and the surrounding electronic screens were equipped with extremely strong code encryption.

"Tsk, this is a bit tricky." Wu Wang frowned slightly.

Previously, during the "Suicide Show," White Tower had encrypted the underlying code for spatial location, and I genuinely couldn't forcefully break through its encryption based on my understanding.

Now, let alone waking Peanut up, we probably can't even put her down.

After all, there are data ports on the surface of the human body, and all of these data cables were inserted directly into her body in a very strange way.

Wu Wang suspected that forcibly tearing it off from the outside would damage the Peanut's own code.

That would be no different from killing her.

If we analyze it slowly... the time constraints might not be sufficient.

Just as Wu Wang was pondering, Bai Cha seemed to want to wake up the peanut, and slowly raised her hand to reach the peanut where she could touch it.

hum-

The next second, to the astonishment of the two, Bai Cha's hand actually reached directly into Peanut's body, as if it were submerged in a basin of water without any resistance.

"This! Mr. Yan! How could this be?" Bai Cha was so frightened that she didn't know whether to pull her hand back or what to do next.

Wu Wang stared intently at the point where her hand connected to Peanut's leg.

Examine the code carefully to see what's going on.

After a moment, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Well, rather than saying your code is similar, it's more accurate to say that you two share the same code. She seems to be being digitized by the White Tower right now. In this situation, the part of her that you touch will also be recognized as digitized content, so you can get inside... Hey, try to see if you can grab the data cables inside her body and pull them out?"

After saying that, Wu Wangfei flew behind Bai Cha and lifted her up.

With a complicated expression, Bai Cha slipped her hand under the back of the peanut and began to explore.

She quickly managed to pull out a data cable, despite the discomfort.

Peanut's originally peaceful face furrowed slightly, as if he had been awakened.

Seeing this, the white tea began to be dug up again.

Within minutes, she had pulled out all the dozens of data cables from the back of the peanut.

boo——

Finally, when the data cable was removed from the back of her head...

Peanut slowly opened his eyes.

She looked around at her surroundings with a slightly bewildered expression, and saw Bai Cha with a relieved look on her face and Wu Wang with a mischievous grin as he carried her.

Peanut didn't have time to be shocked at how they got there.

He immediately exclaimed, "Quick! Run! White Tea!"

"The White Tower plans to destroy the entire Eternal City! He... he's a complete madman!"

Seeing how terrified Peanut looked.

Bai Cha subconsciously pointed at Wu Wang, who was carrying her, and said, "What are you talking about? Isn't there already someone like that?"

peanut:"……"

Oh, I think so too.

This one is even more significant; from the very beginning, he was aiming to destroy the Eternal City. He didn't even have a conspiracy like the White Tower; he just thought it would be fun.

Compared to this, the White Pagoda doesn't seem so crazy after all.

"Calm down? Tell me now, why is he going to destroy Eternal City?" Wu Wang asked expectantly, as if he were listening to a bedtime story.

He clearly remembered that when he suggested to White Tower in the mini-city that they blow up the [City System], the other party's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Even when something as threatening as the Black Ring appeared, the White Tower initially sent heretics to destroy it.

This guy seems to want to protect the Eternal City, doesn't he?

In response, Peanut took a deep breath and said:
"We're wrong, we've been wrong all along."

“His actions were not for the Eternal City at all, but for… for the two of us, or rather, for you.”

She was clearly saying this to Bai Cha.

This left Bai Cha somewhat bewildered.

Why am I involved?

Besides, didn't Baita previously express his indifference towards white tea in the "Suicide Show"?

Seemingly noticing her confusion, Peanut explained:

"I mean the most authentic you, the you who truly experienced childhood with him!"

Do you remember when you were first reincarnated?

Faced with this sudden problem.

Bai Cha subconsciously shook her head and said, "How would I know? After being reborn, you won't have any memories of your previous life."

Snapped--

Peanut raised his hands and grabbed Bai Cha's shoulders, meeting her gaze firmly as he said, "Then let me tell you! You didn't reincarnate! You're sick!"

"You are the only person in Eternal City who still suffers from a terminal illness after the development of the [Eternal Life Field]!"

"He was also the first person in the history of Eternal City to die from illness!"

"Your code is inherently flawed! You simply cannot be successfully reincarnated!" (End of Chapter)
