Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 424 The Victory of the Betting Ceremony

Wu Wang and Shangguan He were locked in a fierce battle, both of them nearing their limits.

A happy smile would occasionally spread across his face, and he could almost see his whole family waving to him from the other side of the road.

Parents, eldest sister, second sister.

As long as Wu Wang chooses to respond to them.

Then, in the next instant, these family members who seem to belong on Happiness Island will immediately become real and come to his side.

The soul-searching was personally handled by Shangguan He.

He was certain that these people would not have any memory discrepancies or flaws; they were the family members in Yan Shuangying's memory!
If Yan Shuangying responds to even a single action or word from them, they will completely lose the ability to perceive [suffering] and become happy islanders.

Of course, Shangguan He himself is not in a very good state right now.

Because he recklessly attempted to sever Wu Wang's soul, he did not take much precaution against the unpredictable weapon of torment.

In addition, the healing-impairing effect of [Pain and Suffering] prevented him from quickly repairing his injuries.

As a result, his body is now in a state of disrepair.

Although Shangguan He, bathed in the [Blessing of Supreme Joy], is almost impossible to kill directly on this island of happiness, Wu Wang's mastery of [Pain] has not yet reached that level.

But his body was covered in bleeding holes, and his face was a hideous one with half his face cut off, revealing his skull, yet he wore a strange smile.

Shangguan He looked more like a demon from hell than Wu Wang, who was wielding blood-red patterns.

"Yan Shuangying! What are you running away from! Isn't this what you wanted? Don't you want your family back?" Shangguan He roared with a laugh, sounding almost manic.

Trying to read Wu Wang's memories during such a fierce battle is wishful thinking.

Shangguan He simply extracted Wu Wang's regrets and happiness directly by cutting out his soul.

Therefore, he can now see Wu Wang's family members not far away.

Although he did not gain the other party's memories, Shangguan He could tell from Wu Wang's feelings of longing and regret towards his family that he had lost them.

It's clear that with just one choice, what was lost could be regained, and past regrets could be made up for.

why!
Why is Yan Shuangying unwilling?

Shangguan He didn't understand, and for the time being, he still attributed this obsession to the painful weapon that Wu Wang had created from the white coat.

It must be this damned "pain" that's bewitching people!

"Pah! I don't want this kind of fake stuff!" Wu Wang spat out a mouthful of blood.

He grabbed the [Elemental Gun] in his hand and fired rapidly at the group of illusory family members without turning his head, making their already blurry figures even more ethereal.

Then take a deep breath.

He switched the painful weapon, which had transformed from a red-tasseled spear into a blood-red whip, to his left hand, and with his other hand, he took out the longsword "Laughing River," which emitted eerie purple patterns, from his backpack.

He then plunged a sword into his own forehead, piercing it through.

After all, his soul had been modified by Shangguan He, and he was worried that the modified part, which was simply resurrected after death, would not be restored, since in essence, the other party had not really caused any harm to his soul.

Therefore, Wu Wang chose an even more ruthless method—he would use [Xiaochuan] to completely shatter his own soul.

In this way, the process of restoring the soul after it is broken should be able to return to normal.

However, the moment [Xiaochuan] pierced the brain, apart from the intense pain, the effect of attacking the soul did not trigger immediately.

Wu Wang even felt a warm aura enveloping his soul.

This brought a smile to his face, a smile even brighter than the one Shangguan He had given him when he felt happy.

Because it is a real phenomenon.

"Big sister, let go."

“I’m not hurting myself. I just don’t want to forget the real you, and Mom and Dad. My second sister is also waiting for me to come out. Our family still has a lot of debts to settle with those higher-dimensional beings.”

"I can't stop here."

Wu Wang said softly.

A moment later, the power that had been protecting his soul from destruction gradually faded, and a sharp sword aura began to rapidly traverse his soul, slicing Wu Wang's soul into countless fragments.

But this sword aura carried a hint of sadness.

Yes, it was the sleeping soul of Wu Qing, the eldest sister, that protected Wu Wang.

Even though she wasn't fully awake, she subconsciously protected her younger brother's soul from being harmed by [Xiaochuan].

With each strike he now delivers, Wu Qing, still asleep, feels an overwhelming sense of grief.

She is tearing her younger brother to pieces.

Even knowing that Wu Wang possessed the trait of "immortality," the pain caused by the destruction of his soul was unavoidable.

Your injury is my pain.

This is not just empty talk.

To Shangguan He's astonishment, the fragments of soul he had clearly severed in his hand began to dissipate, and the figure with a sharp sword stuck in its forehead and lifeless eyes slowly stood up.

brush--

Wu Wang opened his eyes and drew his sword.

The blurry figures of my family members in the distance are no longer in my sight, but I will remember them forever in my heart.

He grinned and said with a determined look, "Come on, Dr. Shangguan, let's begin the second round."

"I have everything I need now."

Wu Wang's soul remained unchanged.

The part that was cut off has also been returned.

This scene almost caused Shangguan He's brain to shut down; he had never seen anyone able to restore a soul that had been cut and modified on its own.

must……

It must be because it wasn't cut enough!

His gaze sharpened as two scalpels appeared in his hands. This time, he was going to thoroughly heal Yan Shuangying's soul from head to toe!
He casually wiped the blood from the hole in his chest, just as Shangguan He was about to rush forward to cut the soul again.

Suddenly, a strange thing was discovered—

"How did my injury..."

The bloody hole in his chest did not heal immediately as he had imagined; the healing speed was as slow as a tortoise crawling.

Of course, none of this is the most important thing.

Most importantly, Shangguan He vaguely felt that his injuries were starting to cause some kind of inexplicable pain.

At first, it was just a barely noticeable pain, like a mosquito bite, but gradually it became an increasingly intense pain, like the pain from anesthesia injections, knife cuts, minor burns, gastroenteritis, fractures, cuts, or kidney stones.

Before Shangguan He could even launch the next offensive against Wu Wang, it was too late.

He was in so much pain that he knelt on one knee, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

It has now progressed to the level of trigeminal neuralgia and late-stage cancer pain.

"Yan Shuangying... what exactly... did you do!" Shangguan He said through gritted teeth, "Why can I feel [pain]?"

Seeing this, Wu Wang was also taken aback.

Then, as if remembering something, he slung the [Laughing River] sword over his shoulder, and the painful weapon transformed back into a blood-red robe that he draped over his body.

Walk up to the other person and squat down.

He laughed from almost shoulder to shoulder:

"Dr. Shangguan, you've lost." That was all he said.

Shangguan He, who was originally kneeling on one knee, could no longer hold on and fell to the ground in an extremely disheveled state.

His breathing became heavy.

The physical pain had reached the level of injury caused by severed limbs and damaged internal organs, which was almost the limit of pain that humans could endure.

His eyes were still filled with resentment.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed Wu Wang's blood-red coat, saying each word clearly, "You! How! Did! Do that!"

He has also realized that the real reason for this change is that the balance of happiness on Happiness Island has been disrupted.

At this moment, on Happiness Island, there are more people who acknowledge suffering than who choose happiness.

Therefore, the effect of [Zhi Le Fu Ze] has been reduced to the extreme.

Considering that almost all the islanders have had their senses severed, there is only one thing left that could cause this imbalance to shift—

Jiang Rou is hiding inside the [Ome Clinic]!
Shouldn't she be embracing happiness instead? Besides, she's just an ordinary islander! Why should she represent suffering?
What gives her the leverage to balance the situation?

Yan Shuangying has been locked in a stalemate with himself the whole time. What methods did he use to bewitch Jiang Rou?

In response, Wu Wang simply plopped down next to Shangguan He, who was slumped on the ground.

Looking at the [Laughing River] sword in his hand, he said calmly, "I bet you're thinking, 'What method did this kid use to bewitch Jiang Rou?' right?"

Seeing the unwilling look in the other person's eyes, he knew he had guessed correctly.

He then continued, "Then you not only lost, you were also wrong."

"I didn't use any of my seductive methods; I simply shared my [pain] with her. It was inevitable that she would become my ally; it just would take a little while."

These words elicited a cold snort from Shangguan He.

Even when she was in excruciating pain, she retorted, "Sharing [pain]? Shouldn't someone who has been tormented by pain yearn for happiness even more? She should have been on my side!"

As someone who has experienced the torment of cancer, Shangguan He knows better than anyone how much he longed for a healthy body back then.

He believes this applies to all patients and people with regrets!

However, Wu Wang shook his head and said:
That's why I said you're wrong.

"Yes, when you were diagnosed with cancer, you did have an extreme desire for health, which was your happiness. But have you ever thought that your happiness comes from within yourself?"

"Jiang Rou's happiness and suffering, however, are given by her relatives and are obtained from outside."

"What do you think I'm sharing is [pain]? It has nothing to do with physical pain; I'm just giving her the grief of losing a loved one."

"And she wouldn't want to lose this feeling, because it's more real than the happiness you give her."

As he spoke, Wu Wang seemed to feel a warmth emanating from the sword in his hand, as if his elder sister Wu Qing was holding his hand and comforting him.

Yes, it's not the kind of love that Bai Jun couldn't have lasted, nor is it the kind of personal pain that Shangguan He experienced, but rather the loss of family members.

Wu Wang simply shared his feelings of losing his family with Jiang Rou.

He's gambling.

The reason for betting on Jiang Sze's euthanasia and his love for Jiang Rou outweighed Jiang Sze's regard for his own life, and the old doctor left a backup plan.

the reason is simple--

The secret room containing the theme of "suffering" that was left behind is really too strange.

Since Jiang Sze had even set up a sacrificial ritual to prevent anyone other than Jiang Rou from discovering it.

There must have been a reason why he sent his daughter to the secret room.

However, perhaps due to my own unexpected interruption, the process changed slightly.

Jiang Rou did not truly inherit the legacy left by her father.

Wu Wang speculated that the real legacy was to make Jiang Rou feel pain.

This result can be inferred from his actions.

Because Jiang Sze, despite his deep love and reluctance to part with his daughter, would voluntarily choose euthanasia, to the point that even Shangguan He could not refuse.

That only proves that even when Shangguan He was examining him...

All I could feel was Jiang Sze's happiness.

He felt quite happy with the consequences achieved after euthanasia.

Combine the two.

The answer can be found in the fall of Wu.

Jiang Szeze wanted Jiang Rou to obtain something that could only be obtained after his death, and something that could not possibly exist on the island.

Then it can only be 【suffering】.

Of course, why Jiang Rou had to suffer is something Wu Wang cannot deduce at this stage.

Perhaps we can only find the answer after Shangguan He loses the bet and reveals more clues.

"Heh... This is utterly ridiculous..."

Shangguan He turned slightly, changing from a prone position to lying on his back on the ground, gazing at the boundless starry sky.

He said sarcastically, "You and Jiang Sze are both weirdos. Happiness is right in front of you, but you insist on seeking out sadness and pain."

"Tell me, what do you want from me? Are you planning to take it and leave, or continue to destroy this happy island?"

His questions were quite sharp.

Because the current state is not permanent.

Wu Wang couldn't kill Shangguan He here; he will slowly recover.

Then, they were able to quickly heal and restore the islanders whose senses had been severed, allowing them to return to a state where they only knew how to feel happiness.

At that time, happiness will once again prevail.

Furthermore, without the wager ceremony this time, he will no longer give Wu Wang the opportunity to spread [Pain], nor will he give him even the slightest hope of victory.

Therefore, in this brief period where suffering prevails...

Wu Wang only had two choices, as he put it—

Either get what you want and leave Happiness Island, or find a way to destroy Happiness Island.

Otherwise, what awaits Wu Wang next is to completely become an islander and live happily with everyone else.

Of course, Jiang Rou was the same.

Once she recovers, Shangguan He will definitely be the first to cure her.

Wu Wang replied, "I won't be leaving for now. I just want you to tell me two things: first, how did you get in touch with [Zhile] and receive blessings? Second, what's the deal with Dr. Jiang Size in the office building?"

Hearing this, Shangguan He took a deep breath and said with some regret:
"Not leaving? So you're planning to destroy this island? Destroy what you can't have? You really are a demon."

Unexpectedly, this sentiment was met with...

Wu Wang gently shook his head, indicating:

"No, I will not destroy this island."

"But you are, Dr. Shangguan."

"If you don't believe me, after you answer my question, come with me to witness how you destroyed this island of happiness."
