Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 472 The Tricky Kid

Boom boom boom——

Ryan heard the noise from the other side of the corridor getting louder and louder.

He had no doubt that a riot was brewing over there, one that would normally have been enough to make him kneel before the warden and beg for forgiveness.

Unfortunately, these are extraordinary times.

As long as the riots of all criminals can be suppressed peacefully, and the mastermind behind them can be captured and handed over to the warden.

Not only was he without fault, but he even had merit!
"What's the fuss about?"

Although he had prepared himself mentally, Ryan still couldn't hold back when he saw the chaotic scene.

I originally thought that the riots in District 18 yesterday were already a rare occurrence.

I didn’t expect there to be experts.

The riots in Zone 2 right now are just like an ancient battlefield.

Countless criminals and prison guards were engaged in close-quarters combat.

In addition, many of the criminals do not look human, and there is even a vague sense of a war of gods.

Aside from those that don't fly, all sorts of bizarre criminals are armed and indiscriminately waving their weapons at everyone around them.

Ryan never dreamed that things would turn out this way.

The reason is that the clones controlled by Wu Wang gave them instructions that, in addition to causing destruction, the most important thing was actually to survive.

Among those clones were both criminals and prison guards.

They were launching indiscriminate attacks on the crowd and were also continuously distributing weapons to other criminals.

In this situation, in order to protect themselves, people naturally become distrustful of everyone and are forced to attack anyone who gets close to them.

Even Ryan's angry roar continued.

His response was neither the end of the fight nor the prison guards coming forward to report.

Instead, a police baton struck him hard on the back of the head.

boom--

The blow landed heavily on Ryan's head.

But before the person who had struck could deliver the next blow, they were shocked to find that Ryan, who had been hit, was standing still.

The spot where I was hit didn't bleed at all, not even a tiny bit of bruising or swelling.

It was as if the blow, delivered with all its might, hadn't even scratched his skin.

Ryan slowly turned around.

His face was contorted with rage.

He snatched the baton at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.

Click——

when--

With a forceful twist, the metal baton broke in two.

Ryan casually tossed it to the ground and said coldly, "I'll count to five. Anyone who makes a move again will be shot dead on the spot!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a strange group of two prison guards and a criminal blocked his way.

The three laughed in unison, "With so many of us here, do you want us to help you kill them?"

After saying that, the two prison guards drew their service pistols.

He said sarcastically, "If you activate the [Cage Magnetic Field], we prison guards won't be paralyzed. The prisoners will be frozen in place and become sitting ducks. How about we have a contest to see if you can rescue them faster or we can kill them faster? Even if it's allowed to kill prisoners inside the prison, the higher-ups probably wouldn't allow a mass casualty situation, would they?"

That hits the nail on the head.

Indeed, the warden tacitly allowed Ryan and other prison guards to use violence when guarding prisoners, and even occasional injuries or deaths were not a problem.

But if almost all the criminals in an area were to die, Ryan would certainly be held accountable.

His so-called "on-the-spot killing" is just a deterrent.

Under normal circumstances, killing a few would be enough to calm down the other criminals.

Unfortunately, as I said before, we are in a very special time.

A reasonable number of kills can have a deterrent effect.

But what if those clones also start killing each other?

Excessive killings can backfire, causing criminals to flee and riot even more desperately in order to survive.

"Five...four..."

However, Ryan ignored their threats.

They simply began counting down in a mundane manner.

His voice wasn't very loud, and it was quickly drowned out in the noisy area.

The chaotic battle did not stop because of his words.

"Three...two...one!"

The moment the countdown ended, Ryan's hands became afterimages.

The two prison guards who had been possessed suddenly felt everything go black before they collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Ryan also took the pistol from his hand.

He pointed the gun forward.

A seemingly casual pull of the trigger.

boom!boom!
Two bullets shot out, accompanied by flashes of fire.

It instantly pierced the foreheads of the two nearest criminals, then continued flying backward.

"What is that? Ah!"

"Hi! Ah!"

"..."

The two bullets did not fly straight past, but maintained the speed after piercing the heads of the two men, quickly piercing the hands and feet of all the criminals nearby.

And this range continues to expand; the bullets seem to have eyes, always managing to hit everyone's palms or soles by taking unexpected turns.

In an instant, roars and wails of intense pain rose and fell.

When the two bullets finally fell helplessly to the ground.

Hundreds of criminals had already been beaten until they were covered in blood.

A simple shooting would probably not attract any attention in this area.

After all, there were quite a few gunshots going off all around.

But after two gunshots, hundreds of people fell to the ground clutching their wounds, leaving only Ryan standing in the vast area.

He immediately stood out from the crowd.

He was met with gasps of shock and fearful stares from those around him.

Ryan calmly repeated what he had just said: "I'll say it again, count down to five, and anyone who moves will be killed without mercy."

"Those two shots were just to the hands and feet, but the next ones will be to the head."

At this moment, no one dared to make any rash moves.

Everyone endured the pain, clutching their wounds and collapsing to the ground, panting heavily.

Because there had never been a large-scale riot in the Demon Prison before.

Therefore, most criminals actually had no idea how strong Ryan was; they only knew that he was the head of the prison guards.

These two shots have brought them to their senses.

Holy crap! This dwarf leader is that strong?
If he wanted to, he could have killed hundreds of criminals with just two bullets!

It's password protected! How can you play if there's a cheat code?!
"Where are the people from the 'Sunset Gang'?" Ryan shouted.

A moment later, a man whose muscles bulged as if they were made of steel stepped out of the crowd.

He was one of the few people in the crowd who wasn't injured by bullets.

This is Eclipse, the leader of the Sunset Gang.

Ryan walked up to the guy.

Without saying a word, he pulled out his baton and struck the man hard in the abdomen.

The Eclipse, who had been invincible in the chaos, with no one able to harm him in the slightest, and who had even withstood the occasional bullets fired by ordinary prison guards.

At this moment, he was drenched in sweat when he was struck on one knee by a stick.

The cold sweat on his forehead proved that he wasn't acting; he was genuinely in so much pain that it was almost unbearable.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" Ryan's voice was so cold it sent chills down your spine.

Eclipse, panting heavily, said, "I... shouldn't have let the gang members participate in the chaotic battle, but if I hadn't done so, we would have suffered heavy casualties before you even arrived."

thump—

Ryan struck him again with the stick, sending him sprawling to the ground.

He then said fiercely, "Wrong! Not only should you not participate, but you should stand up and stop this farce immediately!"

"Eclipse, I don't care how many of your so-called gang members will die or be injured, but you need to know who you are the reason you were able to develop so many gang members!"

"If you're useless to me, why should I keep you around?"

"If a member dies, you can replace them, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Eclipse lowered its head even further.

Those who witnessed this scene were stunned.

Many of them had also heard of the initiation ceremony of the "Remnant Sun Gang".

The obedience test is now presented to them in a different form.

So that's the guy they were afraid of.

There are also objects of fear.

In this hellish prison, the ecosystem among the various criminals is like a pyramid stacked on top of each other.

The "Remnant Sun Gang" thought they were at the top of the criminal hierarchy, swaggering around with impunity.

But in front of Ryan, he groveled like a dog.

At that moment, they began to understand why Ryan had become the head of the dwarven prison guards.

Because he has this strength.

"All prison guards, hand over your sidearms and then join the [Sunset Gang] in guarding this place."

"Anyone who attempts to continue instigating a riot will be killed without mercy." After Ryan gave the order, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

He then surrendered his weapon.

One of the possessed dwarf prison guards attempted to shoot those around him, reigniting the panic.

But before he could even raise his gun...

Ryan then shot him through both his hands and feet.

“I said, anyone, including prison guards, of course.”

Ryan made an extremely brilliant move.

Even if he suppresses this area now, once he leaves and goes to area 28, there might be another riot here.

After all, he didn't have time to have the widow come over and screen all the clones in the area one by one.

But as long as the prison guards' sidearms are confiscated and the [Remnant Sun Gang] takes over their duties.

Finally, add the deterrent effect you're currently exerting.

Ryan believed that even if the clones here caused trouble again in the short term, they would not be able to create a large-scale riot.

After all, the possessed dwarf prison guards might not be able to defeat the bald burly men of the "Sunset Gang" with just batons.

They could only watch helplessly as they went to Area 28 to deal with the mastermind behind it all.

The most ingenious part of this step actually lies in something that Ryan himself wasn't even aware of—

Wu Wang did not possess any members of the [Remnant Sun Gang].

After all, these big guys act together in large groups every day, and clones can't possess a group of powerful monsters simultaneously without making a sound.

In other words, the gang members here who help guard the criminals won't cause much internal strife.

Area 2 will remain under suppression.

Of course, this is on the premise that the members of the [Remnant Sun Gang] need to stay here to guard the place.

This was also part of Wu Wang's plan.

He wanted Ryan to leave all the members of the Sunset Gang here.

Ryan must be made to catch the mastermind behind everything personally and on his own.

Only then will this person believe that everything is real, and not some kind of trick designed by someone.

After all, people tend to trust their own judgment, rather than the analysis given to them by others.

Therefore, Wu Wang never voluntarily mentioned the words "mastermind" from the beginning to the end.

He wanted Ryan to find out for himself and make his own judgment.

And another important point is that criminals will harbor resentment.

Imagine that these criminals in other areas were inexplicably paralyzed for a long time because of the problems in District 18, and many of them were even paralyzed to the point of being unable to move while they were asleep.

Are they angry? Are they furious?

That's natural; otherwise, there wouldn't be a daytime brawl on the playground.

Can a simple brawl really vent frustration and dissatisfaction?

Impossible; these resentments had been building up inside them.

Now, they are being forcibly dragged into a fight and rebellion by the clone prison guards, picking up weapons only to protect themselves.

However, Ryan mercilessly shot them in the hands and feet, leaving them vulnerable, and then put them under the guard of the Sunset Gang.

From the perspective of these ordinary criminals, they clearly did nothing wrong.

One unfortunate thing after another kept happening to him.

The problem clearly lies within the prison guards themselves.

It is the inmates who abide by the prison rules who are harmed.

This nameless fire will burn deep within your heart for a long time.

Of course, the way to appease them is simple—the prison police just need to apologize to the criminals.

Unfortunately, this is impossible.

Because the two sides are not on equal footing here.

One side represents the suppressed chaos, while the other represents the order that sets the rules.

Order will not bow to chaos.

Even if order is unaware that it is the party in chaos at this moment.

Wu Wang wanted this nameless fire to burn ever brighter, so that it would be easier for him to show Oink what he wanted to show him later.

Sure enough, after suppressing Area 2...

Ryan glanced at the criminals with the same look he gave them when they were trash, and then didn't linger in Zone 2 any longer.

They simply rushed to area 28 at an extremely fast speed.

His back was obscured from the angry and resentful gazes he was met with.

This even included members of the "Remnant Sun Gang".

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Ryan passed by the spot where Wu Wang and the others had just been.

They took Wu Wang and Legolas with them.

He still needs Wu Wang as bait to force the mastermind behind the scenes to come out completely.

When everyone arrived at area 28.

I was shocked to find that the place was so quiet it was almost suffocating.

All the cell doors were open, and the criminals inside had all vanished, yet no one appeared in their sight.

"Ha, so they've all hidden in unexploded mines." Ryan's gaze fell on Legolas. "It's your turn to perform."

The seemingly frail elf finally revealed a confident expression.

He patted his chest and declared, "Leave it to me!"

He then took a small pocket, about the size of a palm, out of his pocket.

After opening it, pour all those tiny black dots, which look like sesame seeds, onto the ground.

The next second, those sesame seeds rushed into different mine tunnels at an extremely fast speed.

Legolas sat cross-legged on the ground and explained to Wu Wang:
"These are all nanobots that I developed. Each one can be controlled with only a very small amount of mental energy. They will release sound waves of a specific frequency every second to explore the terrain and draw it into a map, which will then be transmitted back to my brain."

"In terms of combat, elves are indeed inferior to dwarves, but in any other functional aspect, elves will not lose to any species."

In response, Wu Wang said, "Who asked you?"

Ryan sneered from the side, "Ha, the elves' stinky behavior, they can't help but tell others about their achievements, as if they are the only ones in the world who can make these things."

Legolas did not respond to Ryan's mockery.

He simply kept drawing on the white paper.

In just a few minutes, he created a map that covered the internal structure of dozens of mine shafts.

In many of the mine shafts, stick figures were drawn inside.

Legolas said calmly, "The number of people scattered in these mines varies, perhaps because they are afraid of being taken away by ghosts if they go too deep, so they mostly linger on the outside."

After saying that, he suddenly pointed to one of the stick figures and said:
"Here, however, many people have ventured so deep that they might encounter ghosts at any moment, and they are still exploring further inward."

"These people must have specially made mining lamps to dare to be so bold."

This made Ryan's eyes gleam.

It's important to know that in the Demon Prison, only prison guards are equipped with mining lamps in the mines.

But no matter what, his own prison guards would not venture into such places without authorization.

The only possibility is that the prison guards among these people have been possessed and replaced.

“The mastermind must be mixed in with this group.” Ryan said after a moment of thought, “Give me the map, I’ll go down and capture them all. You all stay here and don’t move.”

Legolas handed over the map with a cheerful expression.

He said, "Without me, you wouldn't have been able to find the mastermind so quickly!"

"You mustn't forget this contribution! You'll have to make a point of mentioning it to the warden later!"

Ryan pursed his lips and didn't respond.

They simply rushed toward the problematic mine.

After Ryan's figure completely disappeared from sight.

Legolas still remembered his contributions.

Although they didn't manage to capture the widow for a reward this time, being able to curry favor with the warden was still a worthwhile outcome.

The fence-sitter leans to both sides.

However, before he could even begin to fantasize about what reward he should ask the warden for, he was left to his own devices.

A strange noise came from behind—

"Yes, thank you so much."

"Without your map, Ryan wouldn't have been so easily fooled."

"When we capture the widow later, it will all be your credit, you little opportunist."

The sound made Legolaston feel uneasy.

The weight on my heart not only lifted, but plunged into an icy abyss.

They've been tricked! The mastermind is right nearby!

Now, all that's left here is myself, powerless as a chicken, and the widow who was captured by them once before.

It seems impossible for them to hold out until Ryan returns.

Legolas swallowed hard.

I turned around a little stiffly and was surprised to see a familiar figure standing not far away.

That lion's head is unforgettable.

"It's you! Ghost Lion! You're the mastermind behind it all!" Legolas exclaimed in shock.

Then, changing his tone, he said somewhat awkwardly:
"Is it too late to negotiate peace now...?"

"Just consider it as me helping you out..."

This is about the self-proclaimed hero.
