Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 418 The Imprisoned Island Soul
The person and the ice sculpture stared at each other in the freezer.

When Wu Wang did not reply.

The other party also fell silent.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Wang continued to ask:

"So, you've come out here just to tease me? Isn't being an island spirit a bit too boring?"

"Isn't there anything else on this island worth doing? Like, grabbing a programmer and having him appear in your dream, saying that the King of Hell wants him to help him build a backend management system after he dies? Don't you think it's fun to watch someone wake up from a nightmare?"

Hearing his incessant, undisguised sarcasm...

The expression on the Ice Sculpture Island Soul's face remained unchanged, perhaps because as an ice sculpture, she couldn't show any more expressions.

He simply used his hand to gather cold energy and continue forming characters—

Boring? Yes, very boring.

Everything here is the same old thing, a monotonous repetition.

Everyone had no other thoughts besides happy laughter.

At first, I found it novel, but as time went on, I realized that this was not the happiness I wanted, nor was it true bliss.

These words gave Wu Wang a different perspective on his speculation about the island's soul.

This thing doesn't seem to be derived from [Supreme Bliss].

It is indeed imbued with the aura of "bliss," and it provides a happy environment for everyone on the island in accordance with its laws.

But this subconscious sense of rebellion.

Wu Wang felt that it might be an outsider.

At least, it might not have been like this from the beginning, and it might not even have been the Island Spirit.

So, Wu Wang slowly stood up and patted the white frost on his shoulder.

He asked, "So what exactly do you plan to do? Abandon the darkness and join the light? Fine, our army treats prisoners well."

His teasing silenced the spirit of the ice sculpture island for a moment.

Then he said—

I want to try to change the current situation.

However, due to some special reasons, I am unable to perceive misfortune.

So, I want to ask you, please let me feel unhappy.

This made Wu Wang's expression turn somewhat strange.

Does the spirit of Happiness Island want to become unhappy?
Dude, Shangguan He, as the island's doctor, is still working hard in the hospital, performing surgeries. Are you representing the island itself and secretly planning to defect here?

What's the difference between this and "We are willing to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?"
In response, Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why me?"

brush--

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ice Sculpture Island Spirit took a step forward.

He almost pressed that familiar face onto Wu Wang's face.

He slowly opened his mouth and uttered indistinct words.

"Because... there's something about you that attracts me."

At this, Wu Wang's forehead veins bulged.

Some responded with curses and swears: "So you can actually talk! Then why pretend to be mute and play with freezing ice into words in such a mysterious way?"

After saying that, he raised his hand and pushed the ice sculpture island spirit away.

He turned around, rolled his eyes, and pondered what exactly was going on.

The appearance of this island spirit was far too abrupt.

Can it even believe what it says?

Looking at Wu Wang in this thoughtful state.

A series of characters reappeared in front of him.

I cannot speak, I cannot see, and I cannot hear anything.

In the endless darkness, I can only passively offer creations that bring happiness to all those in need.

Rather than calling myself the soul of Happiness Island, I'm more like a program, only able to execute plans according to pre-defined instructions.

But when you appear, my thoughts become clearer and more active, and I even become aware of my own aversion to this situation.

Only you can change me, only you can tell me—who am I really?

Huh? Can't speak again?
Wu Wang seemed to have sensed something from the other party's reply.

So he slowly approached the ice sculpture that he had pushed aside.

With each step forward, the other person's expression seemed to become more vivid, until they were almost touching again.

The Ice Sculpture Island Spirit's lips moved slightly and spoke again:
"Is this what it feels like to talk?"

"It's novel, yet somehow familiar."

humming-

Her appearance, resembling a doll gradually coming to life, caused Wu Wang to immediately take several steps back.

From this perspective, the closer I get to the island's soul.

Does that mean the other person is more intelligent?
"That's not right. I don't have any real interaction with [Zhile]. Logically speaking, I'm not a special being in this world."

"That means something within me is connected to the island spirit."

"The only thing that can be connected to [Supreme Bliss] is... this?"

Wu Wang held up Xiaochuan in front of him.

Eldest sister Wu Qing!

The reason I came to this instance is to find a way to awaken my eldest sister.

She made some kind of deal with [Desire Sea Spirit Lord], which is why she is likely to become the spokesperson for [Supreme Bliss] at this stage.

Even while asleep, it had instinctively guided itself through the hospital's office building.

In other words, what truly attracts the island spirit is not itself.

It was the eldest sister hidden in the sword!
Suddenly, she looked at the face of the Ice Sculpture Island Soul, which was exactly the same as her eldest sister's.

Wu Wang seemed to realize something.

He asked, "Was your appearance created based on my memories? Was it to get closer to me?"

That was indeed his first thought upon seeing the other person.

After all, this isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Wasn't that why the white falcon fell into that trap?

The island's spirit, frozen into words, responded—

No, your fear of happiness and the repulsive aura of suffering around you prevent me from having a greater influence on you through your environment, and naturally, I can't access your memories.

[This face... I don't know]

I don't know why I appeared before you like this; by the time I realized it, it was already finished.

Perhaps it's because I'm subconsciously familiar with this face.

She answered faster and faster.

Although Wu Wang's conversation with him only went back and forth a few times.

But it's clear that her tone has changed a lot from the beginning to now.

And between the lines, it becomes increasingly closer to the thoughts of a human being.

Thump thump—thump thump thump—

Wu Wang's heart beat a little faster.

There's no mistake! There's no mistake!
If the spirit of this ice sculpture island wasn't lying.

So, her true identity might not be the soul of Happiness Island at all!

She is very likely a fragment of the eldest sister's soul!

Before falling into a deep sleep, the eldest sister had said—

That accident not only took away her physical body, but also severely damaged her soul, to the point that she lost part of her memory.

At Shangguan He's clinic, Wu Wang also witnessed the most direct way to cause memory loss—

That is to cut and trim the soul.

In other words, the reason why the eldest sister's soul was severely damaged and she lost her memory may be because it was incomplete.

Some of the soul fragments fell onto this island.

Somehow, he became known as the "island spirit."

Of course, as for the reason why the soul is incomplete, it is unclear whether it was torn apart by the explosion in that accident, or whether it was tampered with in a secret deal by the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord].

That's unknown.

In conclusion, the island spirit before us may indeed be a fragment of the soul of our eldest sister, Wu Qing!

However, she herself seems unaware of it.

As she put it, she is now like a pre-programmed program, instinctively providing the islanders with an environment of happiness.

The subconscious of the eldest sister, Wu Qing, has been completely buried at the very bottom of the program.

If it weren't for my appearance, or rather, if my elder sister's true soul hadn't approached, perhaps this fragment would have remained forever in this muddled state, continuing as a program of happiness.

"Okay, now I have two questions—"

"First, where is your physical body? As an island spirit, you should have some real part, like a spirit or something."

"Secondly, how do you think I should change this situation?"

Hearing that Wu Wang seemed to want to help him.

Ice Sculpture Island Soul responded quickly.

I do have a spirit.

Unfortunately, I don't know where it's trapped. I can sense everything on the island but can't find my own spirit. It's ridiculous.

[It must have been hidden by the doctor.]

Doctor? These two words made Wu Wang frown.

Is Shangguan He involved in this?
Oh, that makes sense. After all, Shangguan He can't change the environment, so he needs someone to help him achieve this.

If he imprisoned the elder sister's soul fragments and performed soul surgery on them, turning them into a program that only knows how to respond to needs.

This seems reasonable.

"Is the doctor's name Shangguan He?" Wu Wang asked uncertainly.

But the Ice Sculpture Island Soul shook his head stiffly.

The frost-covered writing in the air reappeared.

The last memory I have of myself is a figure in a white coat standing at the back of someone.

[It's impossible to tell if the person's face and figure are Shangguan He, as their identities are unclear.]

There is only one way to change the status quo—break the tipping point of happiness on the island.

Humans are social creatures. When most people around us are happy, the remaining minority will also be affected by this atmosphere, and vice versa.

This answer is somewhat subtle.

After all, Shangguan He wasn't the only doctor on the island with problems.

And then there's Jiang Sze, who has already been euthanized.

Wu Wang's mind raced as he considered the relationships involved, attempting to reconstruct a truth.

However, due to the scarcity of information, he is currently unable to construct a correct logical chain.

They wanted to obtain more clues and information.

He still needs to win the bet with Shangguan He first.

Only from him can you get the truth.

After all, under the effect of [Abyss of Gamblers], if Shangguan He loses to himself, he will be unable to lie about the contents of the bet he requested.

As for breaking the threshold of happiness...

Wu Wang already had an idea.

"It seems we'll have to speed up the game's progress."

"But whether it's Shangguan He or Jiang Sze, what you've done has gone a bit too far."

"Imprison my sister? Very well, very well..."

His eyes turned cold, and the blood on his clothes became even more intense.

I moved my hands and feet, which had become numb from the cold, a little.

I walked towards the door of the freezer, intending to leave.

However, at that moment, the Ice Sculpture Island Spirit stepped forward and blocked his way.

This made Wu Wang raise an eyebrow in confusion, asking, "What's wrong? I didn't say I wouldn't help you, did I? How can I help you if you don't leave?"

In response, the Ice Sculpture Island Soul simply said stiffly:

"No... I just wanted to double-check before you leave."

Do you admit that you... are afraid of happiness?

These words made Wu Wang lower his head and sigh.

He reached his hand over the ice sculpture island and placed it on the door of the freezer.

After taking a deep breath, I replied helplessly:
I don't deny your judgment.

"Just like you said, I can clearly sense what a tragic trap happiness is."

"Whether it's kinship, friendship, or love, happiness derived from another human being is all the same."

"Take the white falcon for example. Even if it is fortunate enough to meet the love of its life, this journey will definitely come to an end. This is destiny, this is a curse, this is the inevitable ending of happiness."

"Even if the accident didn't cause him to lose Lin Wen, he would either have died of illness after many years of old age, or his plane would have crashed during a spontaneous trip, or the two of them would have been slowly eroded by each other's souls in their daily lives until they were irreconcilable..."

In short, happiness will inevitably come to an end.

"Even the best outcome would be that the two of them just happen to die together."

"Heh, it's not just humans, any intelligent being capable of perceiving happiness is just as pathetic."

Wu Wang said a lot in one breath.

The tone was resolute, and the will was firm.

A shadow of sadness, which shouldn't have been there, flashed in the eyes of the Ice Sculpture Island Soul.

She slowly moved her body away and began to melt and crumble.

At that moment, things in the outside world also resumed their activity.

It's time to let this demon that denies happiness go out and disrupt the island's critical point.

Boom boom boom——

The sound of the freezer door slowly moving was heard.

Wu Wang only needed to lift his leg to continue his plan.

However, after glancing one last time at the ice sculpture island spirit beside him, he saw that it had shattered into nothingness, leaving only its head.

He walked out.

Without turning his head, he spoke again:

"But even so, I will not give up on it."

"I cherish the happiness I already have, or the happiness I can have."

"I'm just saying I won't try to change any of this with the idea of ​​making happiness last forever."

"I will willingly accept the pain that follows when happiness ends."

"Because these are all part of me, and none of them can be missing."

No one saw that in the final moment before the ice sculpture head on the ground shattered, a smile, never before seen, slowly appeared on the corners of its mouth.

Indeed, this human is a unique existence.

He possesses the power to change Happiness Island.

That’s very good.

boom--

Wu Wang walked out, and the door to the cold storage room closed behind him.

No one knows what conversations took place.

The two people outside the door quickly came over.

"How's it going, Brother Yan'er? Are you cold enough?" Erbadao asked expectantly.

Snapped--

Wu Wang gave him a headshot.

He said irritably, "You really want me to be an ice sculpture in there? That's enough, we still have a lot to do later."

The white falcon tentatively asked, "What...what else do we need to do?"

In response, Wu Wang shrugged and said, "Is there anything you've done that you feel guilty about?"

"Take this opportunity and do it boldly."

"Leave the rest to karma."

Upon hearing this, the two of them felt a wave of dizziness.

What do you mean by "the rest will be left to retribution"?

We'll have to bear the consequences of our relationship ourselves!
"Brother Yan'er, please don't tease us." Erbadao said with a helpless wry smile, "You must have a plan, right?"

Wu Wang chuckled.

He did not explicitly reveal his thoughts.

Looking at the distant horizon beyond the amusement park, dusk was slowly approaching from the horizon.

This scene is absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately it doesn't last long.

He then strode toward the center of the island.

He said without a care in the world:
"Take it one step at a time, and if things really don't work out, we'll die halfway there!"
