Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

"I said! Stop! Abort the command process!"

Hua Wuyin gritted his teeth and walked up to the virtual image of the woman in the suit.

His chest heaved violently as he roared at her.

However, faced with the tower tea that was still repeating the same behavior.

He was so angry that he turned back and entered a lot of commands on the control panel.

The next second, a sharp blade gleaming with cold light appeared out of thin air in Hua Wuyin's hand.

Surprisingly, he didn't go so far as to stab the virtual image that had no physical form.

Instead, he used a sharp blade to slash open the back of his forearm.

As crimson blood flowed down his forearm to his fingers, it dripped onto the ground, staining a data cable red.

Hua Wuyin's previously rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

His brow twitched slightly from the pain, which gave him a sense of reality.

He said calmly, "Stop playing tricks. I'm not crazy, and I'm not having any delusions."

“Tacha is an AI I wrote. I know everything about her. Unless someone hacks into her program, Tacha cannot do anything against my will.”

"who are you?"

Although he says that, his current behavior would probably make it hard for people to believe he's not crazy if it were in reality.

After saying that, Hua Wuyin turned to look at the screen with a blank expression.

Simply toss the sharp blade onto a corner of the table where it won't interfere with your work.

His fingers continued tapping on the console, reviewing the code, and he said:

"If you don't show up, then I'll continue working. Don't worry, once I've resolved the issues here, I'll come and resolve yours as well."

It's hard to imagine a normal person facing such a bizarre situation that seems like a ghost just a second ago.

The next second, he was still able to remain calm and continue with his work.

At this, Ta Cha paused slightly in the action of taking out the folder from her hand.

Holding the last extracted folder in her hand, she strode over to Hua Wuyin's side, watching him intently review the code.

He leaned down and said, "People always think that geniuses are better than ordinary people, but few people think that geniuses also face more troubles than ordinary people."

"They always place higher expectations on geniuses, and they feel extremely disappointed when the other person fails to do something, even if they themselves cannot do it. This does not prevent them from standing on the moral high ground and pointing fingers."

He said these strange things to Ta Cha.

Hua Wuyin didn't dwell on who the other person was.

Instead, he asked in a serious tone, "What exactly do you want to say? If possible, I would like you to stand in front of me and speak."

Faced with such a request, Ta Cha stepped forward to meet it.

He shrugged helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, this is the only way I can see you right now. Otherwise, I can't guarantee you won't delete me immediately, which would be very troublesome for both of us."

Because Wu Wang is currently using the Ta Cha intelligent AI program.

If Hua Wuyin wants to delete him, he has to delete the intelligent AI first.

He couldn't bear to delete this intelligent AI that he had spent so much effort building.

"Let's get down to business."

Actually, Hua Wuyin was more curious about how his program had been silently hacked than about the other party's identity.

There wasn't even the slightest warning throughout the entire process!
Even the White Tower, which is a copy of itself, cannot do this.

The White Tower was discovered the moment one enters the Eternal Tower.

At this moment, Hua Wuyin became even more convinced of the outsider's identity as described by [Nia].

Because there shouldn't be, and it's impossible, in the entire Eternal City to have someone more intelligent than oneself.

The characters created under the [City System] cannot yet achieve this step.

The other party could only have come from outside.

This is also why he hasn't gotten angry yet.

Because Hua Wuyin hasn't communicated with anyone for far too long... far too long.

A true human being, someone equal to him.

He even felt somewhat happy that the first outsider he spoke to seemed to be of decent intelligence, which meant that their conversation might not present too many difficulties.

"Okay, the important thing is that someone wants me to tell you—take a break, maybe you'll discover something more."

Wu Wang did not directly reveal Hua Wuyou's name, nor did he explain the truth behind his deduction.

He was worried that the cognitive impairment modified by [Nia] was triggered by some condition.

Perhaps it's a word? Or a character?
It is impossible to speculate on Wu's fate at this stage.

Therefore, he could only try to avoid directly saying Hua Wuyou's name, or pointing out that these were the words she wanted to say.

So as not to let what he was saying be blocked out by Hua Wuyin's cognitive impairment.

Upon hearing his words, Hua Wuyin stopped typing.

He gradually clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.

He said, word by word, "Stop? Take a break?"

Hua Wuyin suddenly raised his head, and bloodshot veins appeared in his pupils again, making him look somewhat eerie.

"You ignorant fools who have just arrived and know nothing, do you really know what kind of beings you are dealing with?"

“Every time I look back, I see that bottomless abyss clinging to me like a shadow. How could you, how dare you, tell me to stop?”

"I thought you were a smart person like me, but now it seems you're just another clueless idiot."

"Take my advice and go down and call all your companions. I can promise to send you out."

"But from now on, never show your face in this place again. I can't guarantee I'll be able to stay rational the next time I see you!"

Wu Wang watched as Hua Wuyin's emotions fluctuated wildly in a short period of time.

He frequently switched between a state of rational calm like a machine and a state of volatile anger like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

He got it.

This guy is sick!

No wonder, loneliness can drive people crazy.

Even though there are a large number of employees in the [Eternal Building], in Hua Wuyin's eyes they are probably no different from radishes and cabbages.

This guy is like Robinson Crusoe, stranded on a desert island before he met Friday.

Reason is gradually slipping away in the face of immense loneliness.

So Wu Wang sat on the control panel, toying with the blood-red document in his hand.

He slowly began to speak, "We are indeed the same kind of people, so I can understand your troubles even more."

"As I just said, as a genius, you also face many challenges."

"You tend to overthink, and your deep analysis of problems makes you more prone to rumination; you have a strong intolerance for mediocrity and cannot tolerate superficial and meaningless conversations and life; you experience existential anxiety, and thinking about your own value and searching for the meaning of life can lead to a sense of nihilism; you feel lonely because you feel out of place with your surroundings."

"You might even have perfectionist tendencies, set excessively high standards for yourself, and have a greater fear of failure." "Most importantly, you might doubt yourself. Because you have a higher perspective and a broader view, you will be able to understand more than ordinary people the helplessness and pain of things that are beyond human control."

When Hua Wuyin first heard Wu Wang say a few words, he had a disdainful expression on his face.

But when he heard about the anxiety part, his eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

He then remembered where his love for his sister came from.

It's the adoring look in her eyes when she was bullied as a child and he protected her; it's the selfless sharing of everything good with her first; it's standing up and angrily rebuking everyone's stupidity when they didn't understand her and isolated her, believing that her brother was the smartest and bravest.
When their hometown was besieged by members of the Perfect Faith Cult, their younger sister was afflicted with a curse. Before their parents died, they held their hands and told them to run away quickly. They looked at them with tender eyes and said, "As the older brother, you are older and you must protect your sister in the future." They then resolutely stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Hua Wuyin is very clever.

He was smart enough to realize early on that no matter what he did, he couldn't completely change the status quo of the world.

He is an insignificant being to the world, an ant without value or meaning.

But it wasn't the same for his younger sister, whose life was rapidly slipping away as she fled with him.

She considered herself the most powerful and intelligent person in her heart.

This is my highest value and meaning.

When Wu Wang mentioned perfectionist tendencies, Hua Wuyin's twitching eyebrows turned into obvious unease and anger.

The word "perfectionism" touched a nerve with him.

The curse on my sister was cast by a cult of perfect faith, who claimed it was to cleanse the world of imperfections.

When Hua Wuyin finally spoke of the helplessness of self-doubt, her clenched hands slowly loosened.

He knew perfectly well that what the other person said was true.

His intelligence was powerless to change the world; it was also powerless to help his parents die.

Therefore, even knowing that [Nia] is the offspring of a god in the legends of the Perfect Faith Sect, Hua Wuyin is willing to risk everything and do everything in his power to save his sister from the curse.

He didn't want to experience that feeling of helplessness again.

However, the longer one stays in this eternal city, the more that long-lost sense of powerlessness will surge into one's heart.

It was as if a demon was constantly whispering in my ear—

"Give up. You can't save her. There's no need to ruin your life for someone who's about to die. With your intelligence, you can definitely live a good life on your own."

But I was unwilling to accept it! I was furious!

Why must I be forced to passively endure all of this?
But the pain! The struggle!
Why make yourself smart enough to immediately understand all of this, but not smart enough to know how to solve it?
Hua Wuyin's intolerance for mediocrity even manifests itself in himself.

He was arrogant, but also deeply insecure.

There is no conflict between the two, but they are just incredibly agonizing.

After a long silence, Hua Wuyin, whose mental state was only revealed through his facial expressions and body movements, let out a heavy sigh.

He looked at Tacha with an extremely tired expression.

He asked, word by word, "What... exactly are you?"

"Why do you know me so well? You're more than just an outsider."

Yes, if he were an ordinary outsider, he would simply be an unlucky fellow like himself, being toyed with by [Nia].

How could someone possibly know themselves so well?
Who told the other person these things that even they themselves had buried deep in their memories?
If I hadn't known about the past...

How could this guy so accurately pinpoint every one of my sore spots?
To this, Wu Wang shook his head and said, "I have no comment. I can only say that there may be someone who understands you better than you understand yourself."

Damn it, [Nia], damn it, cognitive impairment.

I'll wait until I get the chance to see that bastard who attacked my older sister! Even if I can't beat him right now, I won't let him get away with it!

Seeing that he couldn't get an answer from Hua Wuyin, he realized that Hua Wuyin was not going to get one from him.

He then tried to suppress his emotions by turning his attention to the electronic screen and operating it.

Wu Wang couldn't help but curse the workaholic in his heart.

Then he said, "Speaking of which, Hua Wuyin, even if the [City System]'s computing power is greatly depleted due to the downtime, you should still be able to suppress these guys in the building with a flick of your finger, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuyin hadn't even had a chance to glance at the electronic screen before looking up at him and saying, "Ridiculous. If I could really do that, why would I let them cause trouble in the building?"

Faced with this answer, Wu Wang simply shook his finger.

He said jokingly, "No, no, no, you can do it. Don't forget, 80% of computer problems can be solved by restarting."

"If you just shut down the Eternal City process, free up a lot of computing power to solve the current problems, and then rewrite the code to create a new Eternal City on the existing basis, wouldn't that be great?"

These words immediately drew a rebuke from Hua Wuyin:

"Impossible! I will absolutely not halt the current urban development process!"

This program is what [Nia] used to trap the curse.

What changes would occur if Hua Wuyin dared not gamble and instead stopped the game, only to restart it later?

If other problems arise from the curse.

Perhaps my sister's consciousness will immediately vanish.

Little did he know, his reaction at that moment was exactly what Wu Wang had anticipated.

Before deciding to come out and talk to Hua Wuyin, Wu Wang knew very well that the other party could not be persuaded by a few words.

Especially since it's impossible to directly point it out, and Hua Wuyou's consciousness in the [City System] is currently a curse, persuasion becomes even more difficult.

Fortunately, my goal wasn't to persuade him.

"Alright, I'll just give you a friendly reminder: White Tower and his men have already broken through your monster army."

Wu Wang shrugged and pointed to the monitoring screen on the other side.

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuyin suddenly raised his head.

They were shocked to find the floor covered in sticky slime fragments in the surveillance footage, and White Tower and the others had vanished.

He exclaimed incredulously, "How is this possible!"

According to their calculations, even if those slimes couldn't capture all of White Tower and the others, they should at least have exhausted them and trapped them for several hours.

How could it have been broken through in just half an hour?
What exactly went wrong?

"You! What did you do!"

He suddenly looked at Wu Wang, who was smiling.

The various illogical situations that are currently occurring all started with this guy hacking into the Tea Tower's intelligent AI.

To say that the anomalies at the White Pagoda had nothing to do with him would be blatant lying!
But it seemed they had anticipated that they wouldn't get an answer from this guy.

Hua Wuyin could only angrily begin to devise more traps for Bai Ta and the others.

Wu Wang smiled but remained silent.

Looking at the sharp blade that the other party had used to slash his arm and then discarded outside his blind spot after regaining consciousness.

She glanced again at Hua Wuyin, who was now looking down and not paying attention to her movements.

He subtly moved his fingers.

Surprisingly, the hand of the intelligent AI virtual image slowly picked up the sharp blade.

"Sorry, friend, it's going to hurt a lot, you'll have to bear with it." (End of Chapter)
