Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

sizzle-

Inside the opera house, the lights flickered violently, and the surrounding seats seemed to float and fall as if they had lost their weight. The crystal chandelier on the ceiling shone with unprecedented brilliance, and the Griffin that swallowed Odin seemed to flow out of the mural as if it were about to burst out of it.

Peanut and White Tea noticed the unusual situation around them and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Da da--

The next second, Wu Wang's figure fell back to the ground.

When I open my eyes, a pale blue arc of light flickers inside my pupils from time to time.

He subconsciously raised his right hand, and with a thought, it gradually faded and became transparent from his fingertips, turning into a string of digital symbols that disappeared into the air. His skin looked as eerie as the peanut that had been suspended by the data cable.

Seeing this, Bai Cha stepped forward and asked, "Sir, how...are you?"

Wu Wang shook his head slightly, and his fingertips instantly returned to normal.

He grinned and said, "I'm fine, even better than I thought."

At this point, he suddenly turned to look at the opera house entrance and said in a teasing tone, "But the people outside might not be so lucky. Shall we go take a look?"

Both the peanuts and the white tea were taken aback.

What do you mean by saying that people outside aren't as good as them?

Is there anyone else outside?
With expressions of doubt, they followed Wu Wang off the stage and pushed open the heavy doors of the opera house onto the street.

The scene before them immediately sent a chill down their spines—

All the pedestrians on the street stood still, as if time had stopped for them, and every now and then someone's face would become blurry and flicker, like an old TV screen flickering due to a bad signal.

In that instant, the feeling that the city was an electronic program and everyone was a virtual character was never so directly and intensely displayed before the two of them.

Peanut instinctively walked to the nearest pedestrian and touched the person's body.

However, even this slight contact would likely be too much force to crush an ant.

This caused the other person to collapse to the ground and begin convulsing like someone having an epileptic seizure, more like a fish pulled from the water and struggling to breathe, thrashing about frantically in a manner that was astonishingly fast.

This scene frightened Peanut so much that he didn't even dare to help the other person up.

sizzle-

After convulsing for about ten seconds, the person's entire body became completely blurred, as if the resolution had been suddenly reduced from 8K to 480P, and finally became a mosaic that was completely indistinguishable from a human.

"How could this happen?!" Peanut said, still shaken.

She stared at her fingers, afraid that this strange condition might spread to her.

In response, Wu Wang walked into the middle of a shimmering crowd and knocked them down one by one, causing them to convulse.

He said helplessly, "This is probably related to my final performance."

After saying that, he pulled a strip of cloth from a passerby's pocket.

After rotating and folding it, the first and last ends are connected to form a Möbius strip.

He began by explaining, "My performance defined suicide as 'forgetting,' and I succeeded."

"Therefore, this suicide show will surely gain their approval and bring the trust of the entire city to me."

"But they've already forgotten me, so how can they accept a contestant and performance who have no recollection of me at all?"

“From this point of view, I am a failure, and no one can recognize me.”

"But the performance did manage to make everyone forget me, to kill me from the perspective of group social significance."

"This is a paradox where success and failure coexist, do you understand?"

He held up the folded ring in his hand and handed it to Peanut.

His expression grew increasingly excited as he said, "This also caused a logical loop in the program itself, trapping each resident in a cycle where 'successful forgetting' means 'successful performance,' but 'successful forgetting' also means 'unable to lock onto the target for approval,' which means 'failed performance.'"

"The logic chain in their code will be like this Möbius strip without a beginning or an end, forever linked together in an infinite loop."

"So, they crashed due to their own contradictions."

These words left Bai Cha speechless with surprise.

I asked instinctively, "Did you know this would happen? Why did you do it?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang looked into the distance, towards the direction of the [Eternal Building].

He grinned and said, "Of course, it's to put pressure on the [City System]. Although I don't want the White Tower to take away the [City System], I also don't want it to remain in Hua Wuyin's hands."

If all characters in the city are rendered unusable, the [City System] will inevitably consume a large amount of computing power to maintain their existence.

Unless Hua Wuyin shuts down the Eternal City program directly.

But he won't, absolutely not.

Seeing Wu Wang's appearance, Peanut's breathing became more rapid. She asked, "So, you planned from the beginning to use the entire Eternal City to deal with the [City System]? What's the difference between you and the White Tower?!"

Yes, Wu's actions are tantamount to using everyone's lives to consume the computing power of the [City System].

In terms of behavior, the outcome was similar to that of the White Pagoda.

Wu Wang said calmly, "Of course there is a difference. The White Tower might try to argue with you, but I won't. These residents are just fake entities. You can't expect me to have any feelings or pity for them, can you?"

"And what about us? To you, are we also just sacrifices to consume computing power?" Bai Cha asked slowly.

But it was clear that there was no anger in her tone like Peanut's.

It's as if they're just asking a trivial question like, "What is one plus one?"

To this, Wu Wang simply smiled and said, "I've already said that you have to find out the answer to this question yourself; it's your prerogative."

He paused for a moment.

He spread his hands, facing the two of them, and said, "We haven't gotten down to business yet. Do you two want to leave together, or stay here and continue wallowing in self-pity?"

Snapped--

Without the slightest hesitation, Peanut gritted his teeth and grabbed his hand.

He said, word by word, "I want to die knowing why! But you really are a bastard!"

Bai Cha, standing beside him, also placed her hand on his and said softly, "It's still quite a distance from here to the [Eternal Tower]. Is it really possible for us to make it there in time?"

hum-

As soon as they finished speaking, the two found their bodies beginning to digitize.

Wu Wang, who was leading them, said jokingly, "First, I have never said that I am a good person; second, bastards do not need to follow a planned route."

"Sorry, I've always preferred to use connections!"

His body also began to be digitized.

Before the other two women could react...

The three of them then completely transformed into a stream of data and disappeared from the spot.

Only a faint arc of electronic light remained, flickering on the ground.

At this moment, the white tea and peanuts felt dizzy, as if they were falling endlessly down a slide that would spin countless times.

The intense dizziness and nausea made them extremely uncomfortable, and for a moment they didn't even have the strength to curse Wu Wang.

Just when they were about to throw up, the strange dizziness finally subsided.

Peanut, panting heavily, slowly opened his eyes.

But he found himself in a blank world.

That's right, it's not an adjective, everything around her was completely blank, so white that she wasn't sure if she was standing on the ground or floating in mid-air, since there were no other colors to refer to.

"What about Yan Shuangying?" she asked, somewhat puzzled.

Now only she and Bai Cha were standing there; Wu Wang, who had been holding her hand, had disappeared. Bai Cha pointed expressionlessly to the top of her head.

She looked up.

Suddenly, Wu Wang was seen walking around in an upside-down posture, as if he were walking on the ceiling, with his head down and feet up.

Peanut, his face darkening, said, "Can you come down and explain where this is?"

Hearing this, Wu Wang did not stop walking. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Come down? What do you mean by coming down? There is no concept of up or down here. To me, you are the ones who are upside down."

After saying that, he walked along and suddenly found himself lying sideways.

This also made Peanut feel a little strange.

What does it mean to have no concept of up or down?
"What exactly is here..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Wang interrupted her:

"Welcome to the [City System]. You two are probably the first native residents of Eternal City to visit this place."

Upon hearing this, Peanut was dumbfounded.

What do you mean by "within the city system"? Shouldn't we be at the "Eternal Tower" helping with the fighting?

Seeing her stunned expression, Wu Wang finally walked up to her eye level and said, "What's the point of fighting? The White Tower's ultimate goal is the [City System]. Why don't I just take it first?"

According to Wu Wang's calculations, once Bai Ta enters the [Eternal Building], he will definitely fight with Hua Wuyin. In addition, he has also sent Ying Luo and other players to get involved, so things must be in complete chaos there.

He always kept one thing in mind—the entire Eternal City was a program.

In other words, while their chaotic battles may seem to utilize each other's own power, they actually consume the computing power of the [City System] at an alarming rate, which is how they bring out all sorts of special abilities.

In addition, there was the instantaneous city-wide shutdown that he had just created.

The city system is probably about to be overloaded as well.

This is the most vulnerable moment for the [City System], and also Wu Wang's only chance to use the mental world granted by the [Eternal Pass] to secretly sneak into the system's interior via the network cable while uploading his own consciousness!
Although the process was a bit complicated.

But he still succeeded.

Just like how the White Pagoda once extracted the core code of white tea, leaving behind that meaningless empty shell to be reborn.

Even if Wu were to perish, he would secretly seize the core of the [City System] from within, leaving those guys outside to fight over the useless mechanical shell.

The reason why there is no distinction between up, down, left, and right here is because the core area is definitely presented in the form of code, and space and time have no meaning in such a place.

Of course, to those who cannot see the code, there is nothing here.

But Wu Wang saw it differently.

He saw dense, complex code that was completely unanalyzable filling this boundless space.

Ding--

Suddenly, a strange sound echoed in the space.

Immediately afterwards, a series of electronic and mechanical sounds rang out.

Welcome to the City System

[Checking account information]

The sound made Bai Cha and Huasheng's hearts tighten.

Are we going to get caught as soon as we walk in?

You know, if you were captured by someone else, you might be able to find a way to escape, but now that you're in the core of the [City System], there's nowhere to escape even if you wanted to.

Wu Wang's expression didn't change much upon hearing the electronic voice.

Instead, a familiar madness rose in his eyes.

He was betting on whether his dice roll would win the game.

Infiltration was only the first step. Wu Wang knew he couldn't avoid being discovered by the [City System], after all, this was their core area.

The real test is whether you can get through the other party's firewall.

Even Baita can't beat me in terms of understanding the code, so it's impossible for me to bypass or forcibly break through the firewall.

and so……

"Yes, yes! That's it! Haha! I'm a fucking genius!" Wu Wang clenched his fist and waved his hand with a grin.

That's why he brought those two people in with him!

After Peanut finished telling the story of how White Tower's former sister was born with a code defect and how he tried to save her.

Wu Wang then understood one thing—he figured out the relationship between Hua Wuyin and the White Pagoda.

Without a doubt, Hua Wuyin was the creator of this electronic program, and the White Tower was also his creation.

However, the code for the other characters was calculated and written by the [City System] with the [Building the Eternal City] project as the starting point.

The White Pagoda, however, is not like that.

His code was written by Hua Wuyin himself—oh no, to be precise, it should be copied.

The object being copied is Hua Wuyin himself.

Perhaps they wanted to conduct an experiment, or perhaps they wanted to get the correct answer.

After Hua Wuyin digitized himself and his sister and put them into this place, he also copied their codes and threw them into the Eternal City.

This led to the creation of the White Pagoda and white tea.

He wanted to see how he, completely guided by programs and algorithms, would solve the same problem.

As for this so-called similar predicament, his younger sister, Hua Wuyou, is now also in a state of near death.

His decision to let Hua Wuyou's consciousness take the lead in the [City System] could probably be considered part of the treatment.

Therefore, in theory, Hua Wuyou's own code should be able to access the internal programs of the [City System] normally.

From this perspective, the original code for White Tea and Flower Worry-Free should be exactly the same.

At this moment, there is the "Reborn White Tea" which possesses the original white tea shell code and the "Copied Peanut" which possesses the core code.

If the two of them are together, it is highly likely that the [City System] will recognize them as Hua Wuyou herself.

"I stole your account right in front of you!"

Wu Wang rubbed his hands together, having successfully gained access to the [City System] code.

He can't wait to stir things up.

Unexpectedly, a calm voice suddenly rang out above Wu Wang's head—

"Yes, it was right in front of me, I saw it clearly."

He awkwardly looked up.

Suddenly, a woman in a white dress appeared, her face expressionless.

The other person's appearance is like a combination of white tea and peanuts.

Wu Wang remembered seeing this face somewhere before.

That was in the photo frame on Hua Wuyin's office desk.

She is Hua Wuyou herself! (End of Chapter)
