Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

The moment that pitch-black dagger appeared inside the [City System].

The moment Hua Wuyou grasped it.

She was stunned.

She sensed a very familiar aura emanating from this object.

"This is... a program written by my brother?"

Upon hearing this, Peanut stepped forward expressionlessly and said, "Not entirely. To be precise, it's a copy of Hua Wuyin, written by Bai Ta. Of course, because the two are so similar, what they wrote feels pretty much the same."

"The only difference is that the White Tower will be even more ruthless."

"Hua Wuyin would never write such a program."

These words also made Hua Wuyou momentarily dazed.

Yes, ever since the establishment of Eternal City, even though Hua Wuyin has said countless times that he would delete those fools from the high-ranking and powerful families.

But in reality, he never put it into practice even once.

Those heretics arrested in the city and brought to law enforcement headquarters for so-called treatment were actually uploaded to Hua Wuyin's office in the form of code.

He could have simply deleted it.

However, after removing the buggy parts that are heretical, they always regenerate a normal character in the "rebirth pool" and put it back into society.

High-ranking officials once asked Hua Wuyin why he wanted to be regenerated. Weren't they afraid that someone like him, who had previously been a bug, would become a heretic again?

In response, Hua Wuyin simply said coldly, "I have absolute confidence in my skills, and they will no longer be heretics."

All of this was observed by Hua Wuyou, who was watching from the shadows.

She actually knew that this was just a facade of her brother's indifference. In reality, Hua Wuyin mostly believed that if a character disappeared from society out of thin air, the people associated with him would definitely feel very troubled, and even somewhat uneasy.

Therefore, even if he knows it's a fake character, he will still spend more effort to recreate it.

They never managed to completely ignore everything in the Eternal City.

This is Hua Wuyin's underlying human logic, and it has nothing to do with any code.

But the White Pagoda is different.

Bai Ta only possesses a portion of Hua Wuyin's childhood memories, in order to ensure that he grows up to be as similar to Hua Wuyin as possible.

Only in this way can we see how Hua Wuyin would react to the same predicament in the algorithmic state.

Unfortunately, an algorithm is still just an algorithm.

No matter how perfectly it simulates human emotions, it will always lack a sense of realism.

The White Pagoda remains cold at its core.

His act of saving his sister was simply based on a logical task assigned by the underlying code, nothing more.

This is the biggest difference between two genius programmers who should have been exactly the same.

“Yes… my brother is just like that, sharp-tongued but kind-hearted.” Hua Wuyou said with tears in her eyes, “But good people deserve to live long lives, don’t they? He shouldn’t have to suffer like this.”

She reaffirmed her determination to sacrifice herself to save Hua Wuyin.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Wuyou plunged the [Delit Blade] in his hand into the final defensive code.

A sound like porcelain shattering echoed around.

In an instant, Bai Cha and Hua Sheng saw the originally pure white and empty interior environment begin to change.

The crimson color surged into the surroundings like a burst dam.

Unlike the red that Hua Wuyou used to show when she was angry, which conveyed heat and rage, this scarlet red now carried an eeriness and oppression.

The two even saw grotesque, fleshy lines crawling out from their surroundings, crisscrossing like the orderly data cables in the electronic temple of the White Pagoda, instantly creating a strange and incongruous atmosphere.

"Is there something flowing inside this flesh and blood data cable?" Bai Cha swallowed and asked in confusion.

Peanut approached and was shocked to find a large amount of dark red liquid flowing in the surrounding flesh and data cables. He could even vaguely see the data cables rising and falling, as if they were breathing.

Neither of them had ever seen anything like this before.

Even if the scenes in a "suicide show" are bloody, they are still directed at an individual.

There has never been a place in the Eternal City where the entire environment is so strange and bizarre.

"Where exactly is this place?" Peanut asked the floating Flower Worry.

The other party, with a complex expression, pointed to a channel in front of them, where flesh and data lines were surging in, and responded:

"You'll see when you go inside."

The white tea and peanuts exchanged a glance.

The two walked side by side quickly toward the crimson passage.

However, no matter how well they prepared themselves, they were still shocked by what they saw after entering.

It was a heart so large it was comparable in size to a house, suspended in mid-air by countless flesh and data cables.

In addition, there was a chain thicker than a human arm wrapped around the giant heart.

Thump-thump—splash-splash—

With each thumping of the heart, the chains above rattled shrilly, yet showed no sign of falling. The chains, seemingly endless, were like an eternal cage, holding the heart captive.

However, Hua Wuyou seemed somewhat flustered upon seeing this scene.

It immediately circled the heart several times, muttering to itself:
"No...no! Where did it go..."

Seeing this, Bai Cha and Huasheng also realized that something was wrong.

The two quickly asked Hua Wuyou what she was looking for.

At this moment, Hua Wuyou's expression changed from complicated to desperate.

She said, trembling, "This...is Hua Wuyin's heart!"

"He originally placed the [City System] next to his heart."

"Therefore, there is no such thing as a server room to store the [City System]. Wherever Hua Wuyin goes, that is where the [City System] is located!"

Her eyes grew increasingly terrified and panicked.

Spreading his arms in despair, he cried out, "But now the [City System] is gone! I clearly remember putting it right here!"

She thought that once the last layer of defense code was broken, she could sacrifice herself, carrying her hopes and regrets, to save Hua Wuyin.

Unexpectedly, things went wrong at this crucial moment.

The city system has disappeared!

This conversation was naturally overheard by Wu Wang, who was outside the blood-red folder.

His expression as he looked at Hua Wuyin became increasingly strange.

After seeing that Bai Ta had thrown the dagger, he rushed forward along with Wan Shitong and the others.

The group treated Hua Wuyin as if he were some kind of human treasure, wanting to snatch him away.

Wu Wang thought for a few seconds, shrugged helplessly, and said, "Okay, you win this round, it's your turn to win."

Hua Wuyin's expression turned slightly manic as he said, "I won? No, no, no, you're very powerful. I don't know how your helper did it, but he broke through my last layer of defense in an instant. I did lose."

At this point, his tone suddenly changed.

He appeared somewhat arrogant and self-righteous: "Unfortunately, my loss doesn't mean you've won."

"You still can't take away the [City System]! No one can leave here without my permission!"

"I'm giving you one last chance. Take your stupid companions and get out of my building! I'll make sure you all go back to the real world and never come back!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang sighed.

He picked up the blood-red folder in his hand and shook it.

With a serious expression, he said, "No, I will make you release me willingly. How about we make a bet?"

After saying that, Wu Wang suddenly stuck his head into the blood-red folder.

I saw the eerie crimson scene all around.

He shouted at Hua Wuyou, "Have you gone mad from sleeping for so many years? If the [City System] isn't here, how did you end up here?" "Open your eyes and look carefully! That heart is the [City System]! Hua Wuyin has integrated it with his own heart!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuyou immediately showed a look of horror.

He fell from mid-air and collapsed to the ground.

Because she suddenly realized an even more desperate situation—

If Hua Wuyin truly merges his heart with the [City System].

Therefore, their previous plan to use heretical sabotage of the city system to save Hua Wuyin was useless.

Because destroying the [City System] now is tantamount to killing Hua Wuyin directly.

This ending meant nothing to Hua Wuyou.

This has become her dead end!

Of course, this is not the case for players of the Necropolis.

After all, players of the Calamity don't need to spend endless time to survive. As long as they meet the condition of the heretics destroying the [City System], it's equivalent to completing a main quest.

Wu Wang said to the other two, "You still have what I gave you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Cha was suddenly taken aback, and then slowly took out a black dagger from her pocket, just like the one from before.

【Delite's Blade】!
There's another one here!
Peanut's expression was initially puzzled, then immediately turned into one of disbelief.

She exclaimed in shock, "This is...this is my dagger!?"

Before the art warehouse was attacked, Wu Wang found two [Delite Blades] on her.

A boss who was used to remove a female celebrity was given a bullet threat.

There was another one that I thought I had used up in the battle against the White Tower.

I never expected that it would be kept all this time and that Wu Wang would even give it to Bai Cha!

Wu Wang chuckled mockingly, "Yes, the original plan was to use me as a decoy, but actually have Bai Cha use a dagger to sabotage the [City System]. After all, she can be considered a heretic."

"Then why didn't you use it earlier to deal with the defense code?" Peanut laughed in exasperation.

In response, Wu Wang asked in a tone as if he were talking to an idiot, "Are you out of your mind? After using this thing to deal with the defense code, how will you destroy the [City System]? Of course, you have to keep something in reserve!"

I'm too lazy to argue with them anymore.

Wu Wang continued to say to Bai Cha, "Now I'm giving you the choice, just like I said before, that you should seek the truth for yourself."

"You have two choices—you can destroy the heart to bring this all to an end, and everything you hate, are confused about, and despise will vanish into nothingness."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuyou looked at Bai Cha with an expression of disbelief and even pleading.

This was clearly not the outcome she wanted.

This is simply the result that those outsiders wanted to achieve.

But she wanted to persuade Bai Cha, yet she couldn't find any reason to do so.

After all, the life of white tea is even more tragic.

As the abandoned shell of the original white tea, it is [reborn].

Aside from those so-called childhood memories, Bai Ta never treated her as family.

It was just a shield used to cover up his true identity.

After declaring themselves heretics and completely breaking away from law enforcement agencies.

Bai Ta never came back to see her, let alone show any concern for her.

Even inside the [Suicide Show] venue, Bai Cha heard Bai Ta say, "If someone dies, they die. There will always be new ones."

Even peanuts, which are also copies.

At least for a time, Bai Ta genuinely treated her like a younger sister. Even during her time in the heretical organization, Bai Ta cared for Peanut more than anyone else.

And what about white tea?

Her fate was sealed from the very beginning.

No one cares whether she lives or dies, and no one cares about her thoughts.

Of course, no one is in a position to stand up and tell her things like "You have to save this city."

Even Hua Wuyou is not qualified.

"What's the other option?"

Unexpectedly, Bai Cha did not make a decision immediately, but simply asked about another option.

Wu Wang smiled and replied, "Another option is to break the chains on the heart."

“Those chains are likely the cognitive barriers that [Nia] placed on Hua Wuyin. If we destroy them, Hua Wuyou might be able to show herself. She might even be able to persuade Hua Wuyin to separate the [City System] and destroy it separately.”

"Of course, you should also know that all of this is just my speculation."

"The [Delit Blade] in your hand is your only chance. The White Tower will not give me a second chance to snatch a new one. If I guess wrong, Hua Wuyin may not listen to my advice at all. Then all our efforts will be in vain, and everything will return to the way it was at the beginning. You will return to that hell that no one cares about, and this time there will be no hope of struggling."

"Furthermore, even if my guess is correct, I cannot guarantee what will happen to you as a character created by the Eternal City after the [City System] is destroyed. You may still not escape the result of dissipation and liberation."

These words made Hua Wuyou's expression turn even paler.

She knew that the two options were not comparable at all.

To put it bluntly, whether it's destroying the heart or breaking the chains, the best outcome would be for the white tea itself to simply dissipate and find liberation.

The latter requires a gamble, while the former is a definite answer.

It seems there's no need to choose at all.

Rather than offering different solutions.

It's more accurate to say that it presents two methods of suicide, and the latter may even lead to more serious consequences than death.

In this situation, it's quite obvious which option to choose.

"White tea, I think..." Peanut seemed to want to say something.

But Bai Cha raised her hand to cover her mouth, her expression slightly manic, mixed with a strange excitement.

He rubbed his right cheek against Peanut's left cheek and whispered in Peanut's ear, "Shh, don't say anything, okay? Just this once, please let me speak."

After saying that, she raised her hand and gently patted Peanut's head.

It's like an older sister caring for her younger sister.

Then he looked up and asked, "Sir, I'd like to know what you would suggest I choose? Or rather, what would you choose if it were you?"

Seeing Bai Cha question Wu Wang, Hua Wuyou felt even more desperate.

The other side definitely wants to sabotage the city system!

Even if they managed to persuade Hua Wuyin to separate them, it would still only achieve the same goal.

Why go through all that trouble?

Hua Wuyin's life or death actually had nothing to do with anyone else.

Only Hua Wuyou cares.

However, Wu Wang replied without hesitation: "Don't ask me. I respect all your choices. Even if you have other options, you can break the dagger now or use it to stab yourself to death, and I won't stop you."

"Just do what you want to do."

"White Tea, or whatever you want me to call you, you are absolutely free at this moment."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cha's face broke into an unprecedentedly radiant smile.

She nodded and said, "Thank you, thank you so much."

"Sir, then I don't want to be called White Tea anymore, nor do I want to be called Flower Without Worry."

You can just call me Bai.

With that, Bai raised the dagger in his hand, his eyes filled with determination.

He hurled it fiercely at the still-beating giant heart... (End of Chapter)
