Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

"Okay, we'll probably play there for a while longer. Let's talk about Hua Wuyin's problem first."

Wu Wang turned his gaze away from the electronic screen.

If what Hua Wuyou said is true, then Hua Wuyin should not be able to detect that they have infiltrated the [City System] in a short period of time.

He wanted to know why Hua Wuyou, as the main consciousness of the [City System], would tamper with his older brother's code.

In response, Hua Wuyou sighed and explained:
“I was cursed outside, and my body and soul are decaying rapidly. My brother, who couldn’t help me break the curse, found a temple.”

"He pinned all his hopes on the temple's rituals, using an ancient ceremony to summon a *** for supplication. The *** proposed the concept of the Eternal City for Hua Wuyin to refine; the only thing needed was ******."

"Because of ***, he ***, not me ***."

Hua Wuyou's voice would occasionally turn into an eerie silence.

As she continued speaking, she was able to utter fewer and fewer words, until finally all that could be seen was her mouth moving, but no sound could be heard.

It appears to be an explanation, but in reality, it doesn't reveal any useful information.

She herself didn't seem to realize the problem and continued to talk endlessly about what had happened.

Wu Wang immediately interrupted, "Stop! What are you babbling about?"

He frowned, pondering what was going on.

Hua Wuyou looked puzzled.

Bai Cha and the other person explained to her what had just happened.

This also slightly angered Hua Wuyou.

"Damn it! Do you really want to trap us here forever? You won't even let me speak!"

She actually said the sentence perfectly again, without any censorship.

sizzle-

As Hua Wuyou's anger flared, the surrounding white space began to flicker, and the electronic screen that had previously allowed viewers to see what was happening outside turned into a static screen.

Seeing all these changes, Peanut and White Tea quickly comforted Hua Wuyou, afraid that she would blow up the place.

Wu Wang, however, seemed completely unaffected, still frowning and deep in thought.

After a moment, he looked up at Hua Wuyou and asked, "You said before that your consciousness is mostly asleep and only wakes up occasionally, right?"

Hua Wuyou nodded and said, "Yes, the last time I woke up was right when they detected your identity problem. If I hadn't corrected it in time, you would have been caught by the hosting system."

“A hosting system?” Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and said, “Speaking of which, how did you immediately realize that I was a despicable outsider?”

Faced with these two questions, Hua Wuyou said with a solemn expression: "Because I have been asleep for a long time, but the operation of the [City System] requires making various decisions at all times, Hua Wuyin wrote a hosting system. That stinky woman who interviewed you is an intelligent AI that was born entirely based on the system's algorithm."

She paused briefly at this point.

With a strange expression, he said, "As for you... well, that's quite obvious."

"You have two pieces of code within you that even I can't decipher. Do you think a character from Eternal City could have something like that?"

Wu Wang's mouth twitched.

That's not a problem. The entire Eternal City is built based on the algorithm of the [City System], so it's impossible for the system itself to have data that it can't read.

Unless, this data came from outside.

As for the two unparseable code segments she mentioned, Wu Wang was already aware of their significance.

One part should be the "immortality" trait, and the other part should be the "Desire Sea Spirit Lord's" blessing upon him, or the "Divine Feast" on his back.

After all, this electronic program originated from [Nia], and it is merely a descendant of [Eternity]. How could it possibly analyze the power of a higher-level Venerable?

But in that case, Wu Wang felt that some of his speculations made sense.

His mind was racing.

He said to Hua Wuyou, "Next, I will state my speculation. If I am right, you don't need to interrupt me; if I am wrong, clap once to interrupt me so that I can rethink; if I am close to the truth but still have some deviations, clap twice to interrupt me."

"The only requirement is—you absolutely cannot speak."

This request surprised Hua Wuyou.

Although she didn't understand, she expressed her respect.

He nodded, signaling Wu Wang to continue.

brush--

Wu Wang sat down cross-legged on the spot and said in a solemn tone, "What Hua Wuyin summoned in the temple was a shimmering slime. It is the offspring of the [Eternal] Venerable named [Nia]. It did not treat Hua Wuyin's wish to heal you as a divine gift to believers, but rather as a transaction."

"Hua Wuyin paid a price that you cannot accept, but he himself felt was worth it."

"The price is not death, but it is more devastating than death. I guess it is related to imprisonment."

Having said all that in one breath, Wu Wang glanced at Hua Wuyou.

The other person showed a look of shock, but made no attempt to interrupt.

Then Wu Wang continued, "This kind of imprisonment is not only physical, but also mental and spiritual. Hua Wuyin in the building has no recollection of this at all because [Nia] is worried that he will regret it one day after he remembers the price. Therefore, it also forbids you, who know the truth, from revealing related matters to it. As long as you mention this part of the content, you will be automatically silenced."

"What [Nia] needs is a Hua Wuyin who will always want to cure you, but he can't actually cure you, otherwise the deal is over."

He was trapped in a cage called "Eternity".

After saying this, Wu Wang suddenly frowned.

He muttered to himself, "Why does Hua Wuyin always think that keeping the Eternal City running perfectly will cure you?"

"Then there's only one possibility: the Eternal City program is running inside your body!"

"[Nia] has transformed your physical body into a vessel for the program's operation and your soul data into the [City System]. The anomalies and other issues that are currently occurring are actually bugs caused by the curse. Once the bugs are fixed, it means the curse will be cured."

pop-

At this point, Hua Wuyou suddenly clapped his hands twice, interrupting Wu Wang.

This means that while the later part of the speculation is somewhat off, it is still quite close to the truth.

Wu Wang immediately changed his tune, saying, "If there's a discrepancy, it means that the body that becomes the carrier of the program isn't yours, but Hua Wuyin's, right? Because your body is also cursed and can't become a carrier, [Nia] transferred your soul into his body to heal you. Only when you're healed can he truly wake up; otherwise, he'll be trapped in the temple by [Nia] forever."

"But during this process, [Nia] tampered with his memories, which made it impossible for him to cure you."

"You want to seek help from someone who also comes from outside? Perhaps I can find that temple in the outside world to help you?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuyou nodded excitedly.

That's exactly what she wanted to say!

During this process, the white tea and peanuts standing nearby were dumbfounded.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Holy crap! What is this guy doing?

Are you trying to act like a fortune teller? Where did you get all this information to deduce these things?
Although it was difficult to keep up with Wu Wang's unconventional way of thinking, the two of them were also helping to figure out the problem.

After hearing Hua Wuyou clap twice to interrupt him, Peanut suddenly frowned and came up with a new idea.

"Isn't it said that the curse will decay her body and soul? Even if the program doesn't run on her body, what about the curse on her soul? Even if the curse goes dormant when she sleeps, it should still wake up when she occasionally wakes up, right?"

"With over a thousand years of history in the Eternal City, her occasional awakenings should have nearly exhausted her soul, right?"

"Why do you still look so energetic?"

A gleam of light flashed in Wu Wang's eyes.

Yes! That's also what makes me feel so out of place!
Ultimately, the deal with [Nia] was about letting Hua Wuyin fix things himself.

In essence, it did not provide Hua Wuyin with any substantial help or clues to lift the curse.

Given that Hua Wuyin knew from the beginning that breaking the curse would be extremely difficult, how could he dare to agree to this deal?

Isn't he afraid that before he can break the curse, his sister's soul won't be able to hold on?

And their bodies, have they been kept in the temple for so long, is there really no problem?
Wu Wang recalled the crystal coffin he had lain in on the Mary, a coffin that seemed capable of preserving the body from decay.

Could it be that [Nia] has the same thing?
Suddenly, Wu Wang thought of something and asked:
"By the way, if the hosting system was an AI that Hua Wuyin wrote after entering Eternal City, then there must have been a period when you were asleep, before the AI ​​was developed, and the entire [City System] was operating autonomously without supervision?"

Hearing Wu Wang ask this question.

Hua Wuyou was about to speak when she remembered Wu Wang telling her not to.

All I could do was nod helplessly.

At this moment, Wu Wang raised a question she had never considered before—

"So, do you think Hua Wuyin can run the [City System] flawlessly all by himself, while also finding the time to create a so-called hosting system?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuyou was stunned.

Although Hua Wuyin, as her older brother, was indeed the smartest programmer in her eyes, such a massive amount of work did not seem like something that one person could accomplish.

As for the help provided by [Nia]...

That seems unlikely, since this [Eternal] offspring seems to have been setting traps for Hua Wuyin all along, how could he possibly be so kind as to help him?
Seeing Hua Wuyou's hesitant expression, Wu Wang narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "One more question, how old were you when the temple transaction began?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuyou gestured with his hand, indicating the number eighteen.

brush--

Wu Wang stood up.

He walked up to Hua Wuyou and said, word by word, "Do you think Hua Wuyin is willing to die for you?"

Hua Wuyou nodded firmly in response.

I have always been a burden to Hua Wuyin since I was a child.

If her brother wanted to abandon her, he wouldn't have needed to search for any temple, and things wouldn't have come to this point.

Even the transaction itself bound Hua Wuyin's life to his own.

He has proven through his actions that he is willing to die for his sister and family.

That's why Hua Wuyou didn't want her brother to make such a sacrifice; she would rather her life just end in the curse.

Therefore, her desire for Wu Wang to find the temple in the real world was not to fight against [Nia] or anything like that.

It was a very simple wish—

Hua Wuyou hopes that Wu Wang will find his physical body and kill him.

A curse exists by consuming its own life.

Once he dies, the curse will cease, and Hua Wuyin will no longer need to be trapped here.

At that time, my brother was truly free.

She was also willing to die for Hua Wuyin.

"One last question—do you really consider yourself Hua Wuyou?"

None of the previous questions left the people present as confused as this one.

If Wu Wang was like a riddle-maker before, he's now like a charlatan.

What do you mean she really thinks she is Hua Wuyou?

Then who else could she be?

Even the white tea and peanuts that are currently by Wu Wang's side were copied from her code.

Their presence proves that the other person must be Hua Wuyou!

However, before Hua Wuyou could nod in response, Wu Wang's expression turned sarcastic.

He launched an attack, saying, "Haven't you realized that your personality and intelligence are still stuck at the eighteen-year-old level after a thousand years? Even the city characters created by your [City System] are so simple-minded and easily fooled."

"Didn't you ever think about how Hua Wuyin managed to keep the entire system running all by himself in the beginning? Was it really just because of his exceptional programming skills?"

"Didn't you notice that Hua Wuyin can't see the code with the naked eye in this world? No matter what modifications he makes, he needs an operating console and an electronic screen to display it. Even though his clone, White Tower, can see the code out of thin air and make modifications, he still subconsciously uses the outdated electronic screen in the underground electronic temple."

"As the creator who made all of this, he seems far too weak."

boom--

Hua Wuyou was somewhat taken aback by his questioning.

He raised his hands and clamped them tightly on Wu Wang's shoulders, pressing his face so close that they could both see every bloodshot vein in each other's eyes.

Unable to hold back any longer, she asked, "What exactly are you trying to say! I am Hua Wuyou! Isn't it me my brother's idea to save?!"

The surrounding white space gradually turned blood red under her rage, as if it were burning with raging flames.

After all, this is inside the [City System], which is completely influenced by Hua Wuyou's consciousness.

However, Wu Wang, who was being restrained by her, was not nervous.

He simply said with a solemn expression:
"I believe that [Nia] not only tampered with Hua Wuyin's memories, but also affected yours."

"Perhaps it has made you all forget—you are the curse itself."

"This is also why Hua Wuyin has been unable to cure you for thousands of years. What he is repairing is not his own sister's soul, but the curse he has always wanted to exorcise!"

"The Eternal City is not a healing program, but a petri dish for the curse of decay!"

White tea and peanuts: "?"

Holy crap! Dude, what are you saying?!

Was there something we didn't follow your train of thought at? Why can't we understand a single sentence now? (End of Chapter)
