Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

"Tsk, I feel like I was in a bit of a rush when I left, like I forgot to lock the door."

"Now I realize I'm missing something."

Wu Wang wandered aimlessly through the streets.

She wanted to contact Bai Cha to see where she could participate in the "Suicide Show," but she discovered that she didn't have any of the cell phone-like communication devices that other people had.

Then it dawned on me that the white tea hadn't actually been given to me.

Oh, or maybe after I woke up and logged into the system, I just told her to go to the library with me, and I didn't have time to prepare any communication equipment for what happened afterward.

But would Wu Wang think this was his own problem?

He would examine himself three times a day—I have done nothing wrong.

After reflecting on it three times, he became even more convinced that he had not done anything wrong.

Now, wandering the streets of the Eternal City, at first glance, it seems no different from the real world.

At most, the architectural style is better, but the crowds still come and go as usual, and it looks like a thriving and prosperous place.

Until Wu Wang saw an elderly person slip and fall on a stain on the ground while walking on a street in a commercial plaza, everyone around him would help them up in a very positive manner.

He just came back to his senses.

This is indeed much more magical than the real world.

Such a terrifying situation would likely result in the weak retreating to make way for the elderly man lying on the ground, leaving him an empty space, lest he be unable to get up due to lack of air circulation and then falsely accuse everyone present.

After the group of people who had been helping the elderly dispersed, Wu Wang finally saw the cleaning tools leaning against the trash can.

The elderly man was helped up and left, and the crowd dispersed.

Only the stains on the ground, the cleaning tools less than a meter away from the stains, and the trash can remaining in place made it all seem so natural.

About two minutes later, a man dressed as a sanitation worker approached from a nearby public toilet, clutching his stomach.

Perhaps he was cleaning up the stains on the ground when he felt unwell and put down his tools to relieve himself in the public restroom.

Now that I'm back, I casually cleaned up the stains left behind by the elderly man who slipped and fell, which no one had paid any attention to, and dumped them into the trash can.

From picking up the broom to cleaning up the stain, the whole process took less than ten seconds.

To put it bluntly, this was something that happened very casually.

At least ten people helped the elderly man and even asked him words of concern. Some people almost slipped and fell because of the stain while getting close to him.

Yet no one chose to sweep it away, even though the cleaning tools were within easy reach of them.

The reason is simple—helping the elderly is a resident's duty, while cleaning the streets is a professional activity.

They are not sanitation workers; they do not need to and cannot clean the streets.

Wu Wang pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

My gaze was fixed on the huge electronic advertising screen on the exterior wall of the high-rise building in the commercial plaza.

In the real world, similar advertising screens can be quite expensive to rent daily.

Especially in such a bustling area.

However, today's electronic advertising screens are playing a loop an advertisement that has no commercial value, yet is extremely eye-catching—

A well-dressed host passionately shouted:

"The itch of eternal life? Here's the sharpest anti-itch remedy!"

"Dear residents of the Eternal City! Have you forgotten the taste of cardiac arrest? Do you feel your soul rusting with each repetition of sunrise? When damage becomes fleeting pixels, when pain becomes expired data in the memory bank—it's time for an explosive update in the destiny of immortality!"

Then, colorful advertising slogans appeared around the host—

Welcome to the [Suicide Show]!
The only ultimate healing program to receive Blacklist certification from the ethics committee!

it's here--

Your head will become the most dazzling launcher of fireworks!

Your internal organs will be arranged into a masterpiece of avant-garde art!
Every time flesh and blood are reassembled, it is a rebirth ceremony that millions of people cheer for!
We offer—

Any suicide device that can be made!

Real-time pain modulation system (choose from shivering to ecstasy)!
The moment of resurrection is a city-wide highlight!

The ultimate winner will unlock the [Eternal Pass] test qualification, allowing them to build their own forbidden paradise on the edge of consciousness!

The next second, the image on the advertising screen switched to a close-up of a stunningly beautiful woman.

She smiled and said, "The last time I was disintegrated by the laser, I saw the backend of God's system. I hope this time I can touch it with my own hands."

As the camera gradually zoomed out, everyone could clearly see her bending forward.

The chin, throat, chest, abdomen, and thighs form a perfect arc.

The arc is interspersed with seemingly graceful vertical lines, and she is maintaining this strange posture, placing her hands on the vertical lines and gently playing.

She transformed herself into a harp.

Beautiful music emanated from the screen, and all the images converged into two lines of large text—

Don't let immortality become a gentle prison!

Death is a luxury, but we mass-produce miracles!

The registration method is also attached below.

Online registration can be done by calling the designated contact number, and there are also dedicated registration points offline.

Wu Wang looked at the advertisement for the "Suicide Show".

He couldn't help but squint, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw all the passersby looking up and pointing at him.

However, the conversation was mostly filled with excitement and agitation.

Absolutely no one felt the slightest fear or apprehension about the bloody close-up footage.

This scene appeared both eerie and natural.

"Alright, you're right, White Tower."

"This city has really been ravaged, and in some ways, it's beyond cure."

Wu Wang shrugged helplessly.

He's also thinking about what the ultimate winner will receive, the so-called "Eternal Pass," really is.

Could it be that the White Tower asked him to participate in this "Suicide Show" so that he could win this thing?

Couldn't he just take it away himself?
As he pondered, Wu Wang recalled the spirited young man he had met in the Heretical Sewers.

The other party's rhetorical question, "Is the person Brother Bai is waiting for?"

Wu Wang keenly sensed that this might be a trap that had been planned since he entered the instance.

It is highly likely that after hiding in the heretical mini-city, the White Tower had been waiting for headquarters to awaken the legendary enforcer.

He needs to get something from this legendary guy.

Otherwise, how could every heretic know that the White Tower was waiting for them to be captured?

Wu Wang also confirmed this from his last question to Peanut when he left.

He asked her, "If I fail, will you still be the one to come and get me?"

The other party replied that they didn't know.

This appears to be a rejection without any information.

In fact, it also concealed a linguistic trap set by Wu Wang.

I didn't say anything about failure, did I?

Previously, when Bai Ta was talking in the flower shop, it was a private conversation between the two of them.

Peanut entered the room and asked, "Boss, are you done talking?" as if he knew nothing.

The answer he gave now was "I don't know," but it simply meant he didn't know if she was coming to pick him up.

This indirectly reveals that Peanut knew he was going to participate in the "Suicide Show" and that failing meant he wouldn't win.

She shouldn't know this news.

In other words, every heretic knew perfectly well that the White Tower would call them to the [Suicide Show] to win the championship.

Perhaps this enforcer could be any legendary figure, such as Enforcer Know-It-All, Enforcer Alexander, or even Enforcer Cherry Blossom.

In any case, it has to be a legendary figure with a very high social status who does this.

However, due to the pre-requisite effect of the "Highly Anticipated" dungeon.

I ended up in this position because of myself.

Wu Wang originally thought that "being the center of attention" would only make him receive more attention at the start of the game.

I never imagined that things would develop so rapidly and uncontrollably.

After all, this variety show does seem to be incredibly popular in Eternal City.

Even the moment of resurrection after committing suicide will be broadcast as a city-wide highlight. Once you become the winner of the show...

This is what truly means to be the center of attention.

Is the White Tower's desire to elevate the legendary enforcer to that position truly solely for the purpose of obtaining the [Eternal Pass]?

"Hehe, if we don't consider the fact that I'm the target of everyone's criticism, this might actually be a pretty good starting bonus."

Wu Wang smiled somewhat helplessly.

He couldn't even imagine that if he became the champion, his negative charisma would cause the entire city to hate him.

What a crazy scene that must be, what outrageous things that could happen.

Oh, of course, the first thing to consider is how to win the championship under the influence of negative charm.

Although cutting off the White Tower's head allowed the law enforcers to camp at the [Rebirth Pool] resurrection point.

But Wu Wang didn't think the other party would be so easily captured.

I was just giving it a try.

This suspicious "suicide show" still needs to be investigated.

With that in mind, Wu Wang walked towards the offline registration location below the advertising screen.

Of course, he didn't know the way.

But this kind of thing can be solved by asking a passerby; everyone will be happy to give him directions.

Because this is also considered a resident's obligation.

They were perfect in these respects.

Not long after, Wu Wang appeared at the offline registration location.

The place is already packed with people from all walks of life, all trying to show off their skills.

He glanced at the competition format displayed publicly next to him.

The process takes five days, with numerous judges conducting repeated screenings each day.

From the initial selection of 64 rookies to the selection of 32 advancing spots, and then to the round of 16 and the quarterfinals.

The final competition will pit eight contestants against each other to determine the winner.

This also puzzled Wu Wang somewhat—

"After a resident of Eternal City dies, it takes 24 hours to come back to life from the [Rebirth Pool]. Wouldn't such a tight five-day competition schedule prevent participants from competing normally on the second day?"

This doubt was quickly resolved.

Above the booth at the registration location, a contestant was ending his life by slow slicing.

The moment he collapsed to the ground and stopped moving, the judges in front of him began to discuss and give their scores.

This is the method for offline auditions—public display.

The online audition requires participants to send a suicide video to the production team, who will then display it on a large screen for the audition.

There are countless registration and preliminary selection locations throughout the Eternal City.

This is sufficient to complete the first round of screening within a day.

After all, their work efficiency is truly unimaginable in the real world.

Every staff member is fully committed to meeting deadlines, and no one slacks off.

Because this is their job, it's what they're supposed to do.

However, just as the judges were discussing the matter, Wu Wang noticed that the person lying on the ground was slowly waking up.

He actually came back to life on the spot!
The whole process only took about ten seconds!
A specialist explained, "The Suicide Show is the ultimate healing program certified by the Ethics Committee and is also a form of mass entertainment with the highest authority granted by the City System. Therefore, we can set up temporary Rebirth Pools in specific areas and adjust them to take effect immediately."

"Of course, this brand-new and efficient resurrection technology is a technology that was just launched this year and is still in the testing phase. If it can be popularized and promoted through the [Suicide Show], it will soon be implemented in the various [Rebirth Pools] of Eternal City. From then on, death will no longer delay your life!"

Upon hearing this, another round of cheers and jubilation erupted from below.

After all, who wouldn't want to be among the first to experience new benefits?

However, only Wu Wang, watching the resurrected contestant, and the staff who quickly went on stage to clean up the bloodstains on the ground, seemed to be deep in thought.

They were very efficient, or perhaps the cleaning agent was more powerful than it actually was.

In just a few strokes, the entire platform was restored to its original pristine condition.

This still couldn't change the sense of unease in Wu Wang's heart.

"The bloodstains haven't disappeared, which is fundamentally different from my [immortality]."

When one is resurrected, their "immortality" will instantly restore everything lost, including blood and limbs, to their body.

It can be said that one is essentially a whole, and no method can separate one from another.

However, the resurrection of the [Rebirth Pool] in the Eternal City will not bring back what was originally lost.

The blood is still being lost outside.

This means that after they are resurrected, the blood that was originally missing is produced out of thin air in their bodies.

"Created out of thin air? Heh, are you kidding me?" Wu Wang sneered disdainfully.

He doesn't believe anything can truly be created out of thin air.

Even one's own "immortality" must have some kind of origin.

Similarly, this seemingly resurrected and immortal method must also be some kind of trick played by "eternity".

Just like the food and buildings in [Supreme Bliss] on [Happiness Island] that seem to have been created out of thin air.

He simply created this illusion for the people on the island through a kind of cognitive filter that distorts reality.

In reality, it's still impossible to create something out of thin air.

What kind of technology are you talking to me about when you've violated the law of conservation of energy?

So, what kind of illusion did "eternity" actually employ?
Wu Wang felt that the conclusion might be reached during the process of winning the championship.

So he stepped forward to register as well.

"Name, occupation, current identity, and age can be remembered."

The person in charge of registering the information asked this question.

Wu Wang chuckled and said:
"Yan Shuangying, the enforcer, does he remember his age...?"

“They say I’m a legendary enforcer from three hundred years ago, but I’ve only been awakened for a few hours now. Remember me as eighteen.”

I just turned eighteen!

In an instant, the entire registration area erupted in an uproar.

Of course, what shocked me was not the guy's deliberately disgusting clamp sound, but his identity and profession.

Law enforcement officers! They were actually law enforcement officers!
It's important to know that since the inception of the "Suicide Show," no law enforcement officers have ever participated in the program!
The staff member registering the information in front of him was so startled that he jumped to his feet.

Somewhat nervously, he said, "Enforcement officer, what brings you here? In the past, you and your colleagues were only involved in the security work for the program, weren't you?"

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him, and he quietly asked:
"Could it be that some heretics have infiltrated this time...?"

He lowered his voice so much that only Wu Wang himself could hear him, for fear of disturbing the other contestants.

In response, Wu Wang shook his head and said, "What the hell? There's no rule that says law enforcement officers can't participate, is there? Or is the production team discriminating against law enforcement officers?"

These words made the other person's legs go weak.

His expression grew increasingly bitter.

My God! Who in the entire Eternal City would dare to discriminate against law enforcers?!

It's always been law enforcement officers who suspect others of being heretics and then investigate them!
Isn't this going against the natural order?!

But after confirming that Wu Wang really intended to participate in the program.

The other party gradually came to their senses.

He then became somewhat excited.

This episode is the most special one yet, not only using the latest revival methods to simplify the competition process, but also introducing the unprecedented "Eternal Pass"!
That's the most advanced scientific research project in the Eternal City in hundreds of years!

Rumor has it that once the [Eternal Pass] project is fully successful, it will bring about a revolution to the city that is no less significant than the [Eternal Force Field]!
And now, there are even law enforcement officers who have chosen to join for the first time!

My God! This is going to be the highest-rated episode ever!
He excitedly asked Wu Wang, "Are you ready to go on stage and participate in the offline audition?"

Wu Wang understood that the other party meant the same thing as the guy who had just committed suicide by slow slicing.

Go on stage and demonstrate the art of suicide to the judges.

He grinned and said, "Of course, I'm always ready."

Suicide, that's like stepping into one's comfort zone.

No one knows more about suicide than me! (End of Chapter)
