Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 417 Island Soul Appears
Hua Hua Hua——

White Falcon and Erbadao managed to pry open the door of a freezer at a large restaurant located in an amusement park.

Feeling the chill coming towards them, both of them couldn't help but shiver.

But that's all there is to it.

This is a happy island where nothing unexpected will happen.

For foods that need to be stored frozen, the temperature in a freezer is normally extremely cold.

But for anyone on the island, even standing in the freezer, the only feeling is the coolness of taking a big bite of an ice pop on a hot summer day.

The two of them quickly adapted to the temperature after a shiver.

They looked at each other, exchanging helpless expressions.

Actually, after discussing with them that night at Wu Wang's villa the idea that pain could be used to resist the speed at which the body was being replaced.

Although the white falcon's mental state was not very good at the time.

But in the end, he and Erbadao started trying to find ways to harm their own bodies.

Without exception, nothing, including the flame from a lighter, could harm their bodies.

Under the influence of that whimsical and clever mind of a novice.

He proposed an abstract method—

"What about suffocation? If I bury my head in the soil or even in the sea, will I feel the pain of suffocation?"

Before the white falcon could even suggest that doing so might actually lead to its death.

Erbadao then led him to the beach.

He said, "If we drown and go into shock later, buddy, remember to pull us up and rescue us! And find a pretty young lady to do CPR!"

He walked deeper into the area.

Until his head was completely submerged by seawater.

The falcon had tied a rope around his waist, ready to pull this idiot back to shore at any moment.

After all, players of the Calamity faction have physical abilities far exceeding those of normal people.

Even if someone is drowning and goes into shock for a short while, it's okay. If they are pulled back in time, they can still be easily saved.

However, things took a turn for the worse than the two of them had anticipated.

At first, Erbadao did indeed feel the suffocation of drowning.

But less than ten seconds later, he lost consciousness and fainted.

Just as the white falcon noticed this abnormality.

When I planned to bring him back first.

To everyone's surprise, the kid was snoring even while submerged in seawater.

He is breathing normally in the seawater!

The seawater seemed not to exist, or rather, to the unconscious Erbadao, the seawater had become air.

This completely violates the laws of biology and physics!
And the next second, the seawater began to surge with undercurrents.

The two-bastard's body was swept back onto the beach at an extremely gentle speed.

Before the white falcon could even attempt to rescue him.

He soon regained consciousness on his own.

There wasn't even a trace of water left in the nasal cavity or mouth.

Only then did they realize—

Happiness Island is not just paradise, but also an inescapable prison.

The surrounding seawater was not just a tranquil azure, but also an endless prison guard that completely sealed them off here.

"Even if we choose suffering now, apart from Brother Yan'er, we still can't hurt ourselves here." Erbadao said helplessly, "Let's see how he plans to save those two."

He then turned and went outside to look for Wu Wang.

Wu Wang also ordered them to search for the freezer in the amusement park.

The reason...

He only said one sentence—

"I'm planning to cosplay as Fireboy and Watergirl."

"I brought my own fire. Go and find me some ice."

"Of course, I'm talking about cold ice, not the kind of ice that wouldn't pass censorship."

Not long after, the two found Wu Wang on that scorched earth.

The pitiful screams of Liu Yanfang in the distance also made them uncomfortable.

Especially when she saw the tiny, charred figure curled up in the other person's arms.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Erbadao couldn't help but say, "Brother Yan'er... isn't that a bit much? After all, she's just a child."

brush--

No sooner had he finished speaking than Erbadao suddenly knelt down on one knee.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead down his cheeks to the ground.

His body endured immense pain, far more terrifying than when Wu Wang had beaten him up before, to the point that he had the illusion that he might die from the pain.

Bai Jun immediately turned to look at Wu Wang, whose eyes were cold, and shouted, "Brother Yan! What are you doing! Are you going to kill Erbadao?"

However, Wu Wang's voice drifted over—

"Calm down, and while you're in pain, think carefully about why you would plead for a monster?"

"Is it simply because it looks like a human?"

"The child's appearance is just a facade, the cries for help to Liu Yanfang are imitations, and even its body is formed by burning the memories of others."

"Essentially, this is a parasite called 'happiness'."

"What it wants is your sympathy, to live off your pity, to take the place of those who were once important, and to numb your senses until you give up."

"This island is constantly devouring you!"

These words struck the white falcon like a thunderbolt, bringing it back to its senses.

He instantly recalled the scene from not long ago when the other party used Xiaowen's weakness to wake him up.

Before leaving that beach.

The white falcon glanced back at Xiaowen, who was motionless on the ground.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that Xiao Wen's appearance had completely changed and was completely different from the Lin Wen he remembered.

Perhaps this islander never looked like that at all from the beginning.

This island is like a moving maze, changing its course based on the path of each person trying to escape, ultimately trapping them forever.

Even though he and Erbadao had already chosen real suffering.

But that false happiness still relentlessly and invisibly tried to snatch them back.

This time, it chose compassion.

It is the human instinct to protect offspring and to pity the pitiful.

For a fleeting moment, Bai Jun and Erbadao even forgot that Wu Wang had told them at the amusement park entrance that Liu Yanfang was a blacklisted player who had committed all sorts of evil deeds.

She may have indeed been unfortunate in the past.

But she doesn't deserve anyone's pity now.

“You…you’re right…no matter how pitiful they are, they’re still just monsters…”

The falcon trembled and turned its head away, forcibly controlling its body to avoid looking in Liu Yanfang's direction.

His fear of the island deepened once again.

If Yan Shuangying hadn't been there in this instance, these few players from the Spirit Disaster would probably have been devoured without them even realizing it.

Wu Wang's pain subsided, allowing Erbadao to catch his breath. The pain he had just experienced also brought him back to his senses.

He walked toward the freezer, passing by the white falcon that was determined to stand firm.

At this moment, the white falcon suddenly had a question.

He asked instinctively, "Brother Yan, why are you so steadfast? Such an unwavering belief..."

What exactly have you been through?

Wu's demise did not stop.

A flat voice came from his mouth—

"It's nothing, I've just experienced pain a few more times than you guys."

With such a nonchalant tone, he casually glossed over the tens of thousands of deaths in a single sentence.

The pain that each time was enough to drive an ordinary person to the brink of mental collapse made Wu Wang understand better than anyone how hard-won happiness truly is.

Therefore, he felt even more disgusted with this false "blessing and happiness" before him.

Upon arriving outside the cold storage, he stepped inside without hesitation.

The blood-stained coat on his body seemed to come alive and flow.

Another thorny flower pattern blooms on it.

At the same time, Liu Qiang's younger brother, Liu Dong, who was next to him, suddenly trembled as he looked at his good friend's pale and miserable face, who had just finished playing bumper cars with him.

He couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Brother, I think... I'm a little cold..."

The cold was just like when the real Liu Dong froze to death on the street, leaving Liu Qiang feeling helpless.

This was the open strategy that led to Wu's downfall.

If we cannot awaken the memories of Liu Yanfang and Liu Qiang that have been cut off and burned out.

Then let them experience the same pain again.

Destruction is always easier than creation.

Wu Wang's approach to Bai Jun and Erbadao was to let them realize their own mistakes.

Devastating measures were taken against Liu Yanfang and Liu Qiang.

Because Wu's demise did not require the latter to choose true suffering.

All he needs to do is destroy their happiness.

Without happiness, all that remains is suffering.

I don't need to be a saint, nor do I need to save the world.

All you need to do is defeat Shangguan He!

Looking at Wu Wang's body sitting in the freezer, I couldn't help but tremble physically.

A thin layer of white frost began to form on her eyelashes and hair.

Erbadao squatted outside the freezer door and sighed, "Bai Niao'er, do you think Brother Yan'er is still human? Why does he seem to be getting further and further away from being human?"

The white falcon shared the same sentiment.

A hint of awe appeared in his eyes as he looked at Wu Wang.

This has nothing to do with Wu Wang's abilities, but rather with his attitude towards things.

Just as the white falcon opened its beak to say something...

Suddenly, the person was frozen in place...

No, it wasn't just the white falcons; everything around them, whether living or mechanical, even the sea breeze blowing through the air, seemed to come to a standstill.

It seems that the entire Happiness Island is like a stuck program, with all processes on it interrupted.

Only the cold storage where Wu Wang was located still exuded a chill.

In the instant he froze to death, a hand made of solidified ice reached out from behind him and swatted away the frost on his head.

This unusual occurrence immediately alerted Wu Wang, who had just been resurrected.

Although he remained seated, he immediately drew his sword and slashed at an extremely fast speed without turning his head.

With a bang, the ice hand was severed.

“Shangguan He? No, he doesn’t have that ability.”

Wu Wang slowly turned his head, squinting as he watched the severed hand absorb the surrounding cold air and return to its original state.

And starting from the palm, it spreads backward and condenses into more parts.

Arms, torso, thighs, calves, and finally, the head condenses.

A short-haired, ice-sculpted woman stood before him, looking down at him.

And that familiar face.

Wu Wang remained unmoved and scoffed, "Hey, hey, hey, that trick is outdated."

"If you become like my family member, it won't soften my heart now. It will only make me feel that you are insulting her, and make me want to destroy you even more."

"You should be able to sense the murderous intent in my heart, right?"

"The spirit of Happiness Island..."

Yes, the short-haired, ice-sculpted woman in front of them looked exactly like her older sister, Wu Qing.

But the eldest sister's true soul had already fallen asleep within the sword.

Wu Wang, who could almost feel his elder sister fighting alongside him as he gripped the sword hilt, could not possibly be intimidated by such a low-quality imitation.
The reason they call each other the soul of Happiness Island is because of this.

That's because Wu Wang had long ago discovered that although Shangguan He's abilities were powerful, they were only effective against individuals, or rather, against the soul.

He can silently increase or decrease someone's memories, and even customize their five senses and personality.

However, it does not have the ability to change its surrounding environment.

Otherwise, the Ome Clinic wouldn't be in such a dilapidated state.

Even the cleaning had to be done by the dead cleaning ghost.

In other words, the changes made by the islanders were indeed the work of Shangguan He.

But the island's environment itself had nothing to do with him.

For example, the various buildings that spontaneously appeared on the island to meet different needs, as well as the so-called delicacies, are all examples of this.

Most of these things originated from the creation of the island spirit.

Yes, the creation of happiness itself is composed of two parts: Shangguan He and the soul of the island.

Now I've finally seen the second part—

【The Soul of Happiness Island】

Perhaps it was because he realized that he could spread pain on the island, or perhaps it was because the island spirit had previously tried to make him feel pity for Jiang Rou, and had stopped him from using the same method to influence Bai Jun and Er Ba Dao, which made him increasingly a threat to the island spirit.

It has finally stopped hiding.

I'm going to confront myself head-on now.

However, its appearance in the form of an ice sculpture was somewhat unexpected by Wu Wang.

If it's not something like cowardice, could it mean that the island spirit actually has no physical form, and is merely an existence similar to a spirit?

That's why it's necessary to use the cold air to freeze into ice and temporarily create a body.
How ridiculous! Does this island spirit think it can defeat me by creating a temporary body?
call--

The Ice Sculpture Island Spirit did not speak, perhaps because it simply did not possess vocal cords.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the surrounding chill condensed in mid-air into a string of translucent white characters.

Are you afraid of happiness?

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang dismissed it with disdain.

He chuckled and put his arm around Xiaochuan's shoulder.

"You'd be more likely to say I wouldn't be deceived by this false happiness."

"But being afraid of happiness? That's incredibly foolish!"

Even that idiot Erba is not afraid of happiness.

I am not even afraid of death.

Of course, Wu Wang did not say the last sentence.

But this is also true.

He was indeed unafraid of death, and even quite looking forward to it.

Humans are indeed foolish, which is why they are not afraid of happiness, but instead pursue it.

Only those rare and powerful beings fear happiness.

This has nothing to do with whether it's fake or not; you'd be just as afraid of even real happiness.

Because you understand the essence of happiness—

Happiness is a trap; happiness cannot last forever.

The expression on Ice Sculpture Island Soul's face remained unchanged.

But these words directly put Wu Wanggan in a position of authority.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "It doesn't seem appropriate for you to say that, does it? You're using my words!"

Although his tone was somewhat playful, his expression turned serious.

The island spirit of Happiness Island is actually slandering happiness?
Does it acknowledge that happiness is a trap?
What the hell is going on?
