Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

The three of them returned to the city via another side road.

Wu went to the nearest law enforcement checkpoint to retrieve the file on Yingluo.

He was removed from the wanted list using his position as the head of headquarters.

They also reported and registered the death of Bai Cha.

Of course, the reason given was that an accident occurred during the search for heretics.

For other enforcers, injuries or deaths during investigations of heresy are common occurrences.

Anyway, things would return to normal the next day, so they just did a quick registration and then ignored it.

Wu Wang didn't feel anything unusual about the fact that Bai Cha might appear as a new piece of code the next day after her death.

After all, Bai Cha had said that she had died several times during previous missions.

To put it bluntly, today's white tea is no longer the same as it used to be.

Yingluo, on the other hand, negotiated with the club and guaranteed that this situation would not happen again.

As for the problem this time, she used the excuse that she had injured her head in a previous boxing match to mistake the man named "Xu Bansheng" for her opponent who was fleeing to the audience.

Yes, surrendering is not allowed in matches at the [Fist Power Club].

The two sides must fight until one side is unable to resist.

Even if they escape the ring, they can still be pursued.

Although the reason was lame, the club's management did not want to make a big deal out of it.

After all, Yingluo is the strongest boxer in their club. If she is really judged as a heretic and taken away, it would be a great loss to the club.

The club manager said they would issue a statement later to apologize to the audience and let Yingluo go home and rest for a couple of days to avoid the storm.

They are very skilled in public relations.

Taking advantage of this break, Yingluo planned to go find [Willow Leaf Blade] to confirm whether she had committed suicide during the audition, and also to investigate how [Red Crown] disappeared.

The know-it-all also said she needed to go find Alexander.

Even if we don't directly tell the other party the conclusions of the "electronic program" that everyone has reached.

Alexander also needs to understand the importance of concealing his true identity.

To prevent Alexander from unknowingly revealing the identity of the Calamity player, thus causing the programmers outside the Eternal City to notice.

The three split up and each went about their own business.

"By the way, were there any large-scale anomalies or activities in the city just now?"

Wu Wang is currently in the law enforcement branch, with a temporary secretary by his side.

Also a woman, about the same height as Bai Cha, she took over Bai Cha's role in providing assistance to Wu Wang during the period of Bai Cha's resurrection.

Although the other person's appearance was as good as ever, fitting the stereotype of the Eternal City, their thick glasses and expressionless demeanor made them seem a bit rigid.

After hearing his instructions, the search began.

A moment later, the temporary secretary said calmly, "Twenty minutes ago, a small disturbance occurred at the preliminary selection site of the [Suicide Show] in the southernmost part of Eternal City. A total of 326 residents died and nearly 400 were injured. It is expected that the nearby resurrection pools will be saturated by tomorrow, and the excess resurrected personnel will be transferred to other resurrection pools."

"Apart from that, there's nothing that can be described as widespread."

Wu Wang: “?”

Do you want to listen to what you're saying?

With so many dead and wounded, this would have been enough to start a war in the real world.

You call it "a little disturbance," right?
It truly lives up to its name as the Eternal City.

He suddenly realized that this place had some similarities to [Happiness Island].

Although the inhabitants of the Eternal City can still feel pain and get hurt, their reverence for death has been eroded over the long years.

They even need shows like "Suicide Shows" to stimulate the already dormant emotions in the residents' hearts.

In a daze, Wu Wang surprisingly felt a sense of empathy.

They are fake immortals.

But he himself is truly immortal.

Now, less than ten years have passed since he gained immortality, and his heart has grown increasingly cold from countless deaths.

My mind is currently preoccupied with my second sister's safety, my eldest sister's resurrection, and my parents' hatred.

But what about fifty years from now?
One hundred or even five hundred years from now.

When everything you care about has turned to dust in the passage of time.

What did I have left at that time?
The fortune teller's prophecy echoed in Wu Wang's mind.

One of the prophecies about the future was that he would become indifferent to the world, transform into a god and immortal on his own, escape the entanglements of the seven emotions and six desires, and live a carefree life until eternity.

However, the future scene showed Wu Wang sitting alone on the ruins of a city that resembled a steel tomb, the silence chilling, his eyes filled with only emptiness and death.

He will live on until the planet is destroyed, until the universe ends.

What kind of eternal torment is this?

Thinking of this, Wu Wang sighed and shook his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Perhaps it was because, in some mysterious way, she didn't want to end up with such a tragic fate.

That's why they went further and further down the path of seeking death.

"I will definitely find a way to kill myself..."

Hearing Wu Wang's incoherent murmurs, the temporary secretary beside him raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did you say?"

Wu Wang immediately turned around and said with a bright smile, "I said, let's go to the scene of the accident and see what's going on."

This statement immediately puzzled the temporary secretary.

She pulled out the surveillance footage and showed it to Wu Wang, saying:

"The main reason for the riot was the blond contestant who was monitored. He used some kind of homemade explosive to commit suicide, trying to end his life with an explosion. He even said that art is an explosion. However, he did not expect that there were quite a few people in the crowd who had the same idea, and he did not control the amount of explosives properly."

"The force of the explosion affected the audience and also detonated the explosives on other people's bodies."

"If something is so obvious, there's no need to go to the scene, right?"

"Lord Yan Shuangying, our focus right now should still be on those heretics besides the White Tower. I suggest you..."

At this point, the temporary secretary suddenly fell silent.

Because a pair of cold eyes, so indifferent that they could send chills down one's spine the moment they met, were staring intently at her.

Even though this person was smiling just a second ago, now the temporary secretary had no doubt that he would kill her.

She felt inexplicably scared.

Wu Wang withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "How about this, I'll go to headquarters now to resign, and then announce that I'm handing over the position of head to you. From now on, you'll be in charge of arresting heretics."

This statement startled the temporary secretary.

Then, he said timidly, "You...you're joking, right?"

The next second, Wu Wang's tone turned cold.

He said slowly, "You were the one who joked with me first."

"Please understand, the reason I was awakened is that the current law enforcement is unable to solve the problem; it is you who need me."

"Bai Cha told me that a secretary's job is to provide me with assistance, but that assistance shouldn't include teaching me how to investigate cases, right?"

"Or do you feel that being a temporary secretary is beneath you, and that you need a bigger stage to showcase your talents?"

The more he spoke, the paler the temporary secretary's face became.

Because saying this is tantamount to leaning towards heresy.

Startled, she quickly said, "No, no, I have no ability to teach you. Let's go now."

Wu Wang shook his head.

He walked towards the main gate without turning his head and said:

"You don't need to come along. Just have headquarters send another secretary to the site to wait for me."

"Please tell them over there that this time we need someone obedient, like Bai Cha."

"You are not qualified."

With that, he disappeared around the corner from the main entrance, leaving only the temporary secretary with an increasingly obvious look of resentment in his eyes.

This behavior almost directly negates one's professional abilities.

To put it mildly, I might be increasingly looked down upon in law enforcement and considered as someone whose professional competence is inadequate.

To put it bluntly, it might even affect the analysis results of the [City System] when you go to the reincarnation pool to change your career path in the future.

However, she had no right to refuse Wu Wang's orders.

All I could do was send the exact words back to headquarters with a long face.

Little did they know, Wu Wang, who hadn't gone far from the doorway, revealed a slight smile.

Just as Sakura had predicted.

When the players entered this instance, the Eternal City's [City System] program automatically compiled their past life experiences and analyzed them according to their current state.

When Wu Wang arrived at the branch, he took the time to check the internal history of the law enforcement officers before the temporary secretary arrived.

The above clearly describes—

[The legendary enforcer Yan Shuangying has an unpredictable personality and often does things that defy common sense, yet he always manages to perfectly solve his missions.]

In addition, it might also be because his previous behavior when he was first awakened at the Law Enforcement Headquarters was so lacking in authority.

This also means that, apart from Bai Cha and the few law enforcement officers who admired him before, there are also some people like the current temporary secretary who don't take him seriously and even intentionally or unintentionally exclude him.

"Hehe, this Eternal City's programming is pretty good, it even brought workplace bullying to life for me."

"Even the boss has to be bossed around by the people below him."

Wu Wang smiled and waved to flag down a taxi to head to the event venue.

Now that we've made things clear with Sakura and All-Knowing, each player should play their role well and not give anything away.

Then one must naturally adopt the airs of a law enforcement leader.

Are you going to be moody and unpredictable?

That guy's moods are unpredictable!

Wu Wang was well aware that the threat from the heretics, besides the White Tower, was that each of them could freely appear in any corner of the Eternal City.

Nobody knows what will happen in the end.

After all, he currently has only a limited number of clues at his disposal.

What if, at some point, it really does require arresting all the heretics?
With just these few players from the Spirit Disaster faction, there's no guarantee that everyone will wholeheartedly help with the capture.

It's definitely impossible to capture all the heretics in this bizarrely large Eternal City.

He might actually need the assistance of the entire law enforcement department.

Therefore, before Wu Wang could completely control him and make him obey his orders, he had to do so.

He didn't want to be in charge on the front lines, only to have law enforcement officers stab him in the back.

That unfortunate temporary secretary was thus naturally used by Wu Wang as the first to be made an example of.

Thinking this, Wu Wang gradually closed his eyes in the car.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. 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.

The taxis in the Eternal City are very fast.

Even if the event venue the other party mentioned is ridiculously far from the original location.

They still arrived within half an hour.

However, based on Wu Wang's control over distance and speed...

This is simply impossible.

He wouldn't even close his eyes and feel sleepy in the car.

He had already noticed something was wrong during his previous trip with Bai Cha.

There were no specific speculations at the time.

Now that it's clear that the Eternal City is likely an electronic program, everything makes sense.

Programmers don't want residents or law enforcement to waste time traveling to arrest heretics.

Therefore, the other party chose a reasonable travel time, which is about half an hour, so that they can always arrive no matter how far away they are in the city.

Wu Wang's action of gradually closing his eyes after getting on the bus was not because he was sleepy.

The solution lies in finding a way to avoid alerting the residents of the Eternal City to anything amiss, given the extremely long distance required to be covered within half an hour.

In a sense, it's like an idle animation.

As for whether the driver will notice anything amiss...

Wu Wang suspected that the driver's memories in Eternal City had also been tampered with.

After all, they are just program characters.

"Oh, what a coincidence? Weren't you going to see Alexander?"

As soon as Wu Wang got off the car, he saw Wan Shitong's figure, wrapped up like a dumpling, squatting in a corner of the crowd.

The other person arrived even earlier than him.

Sure enough, the all-knowing person was also very curious as to why the computing power of the [City System] was allocated here at that time.

It was just an accidental explosion; in theory, it shouldn't have caused the rendering of the electronic program created by [Eternity] to lag.

It is obvious that this matter is related to heretics.

Seeing Wu Wang here, Wan Shitong didn't seem surprised at all.

He pointed to the scene, which had not yet been completely cleaned up due to the explosion.

The auditions for the "Suicide Show" have resumed.

If it weren't for the traces of blood and even chunks of flesh still remaining on the ground, it would seem as if the accident had never happened.

She said calmly, "Alexander is right there."

Wu Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "He wouldn't be so foolish as to personally test the mechanism of suicide resurrection, would he?"

The all-knowing person nodded in agreement:
"That's right, so he's a judge now, not a contestant."

"In the game, this guy is the second-in-command of a conglomerate. I wonder what price he paid to become a judge. Heh, that's quite in line with his real-life identity."

In that sense, the back view of a certain judge in a suit did look somewhat familiar to Wu Wangcai.

He couldn't help but say, "Could this be a coincidence?"

The coincidence Wu Wang mentioned was naturally referring to the fact that this place was suspected of being invaded by heretics, and Alexander happened to be a judge in the preliminary selection process here.

To insist that the other party had no contact with heretics would be an insult to one's own intelligence.

The expert also stated, "Well, I don't believe it's a coincidence either."

"But before you came, I spoke with Alexander and explained the current situation, especially the seriousness of hiding one's identity. He didn't seem very surprised."

He did not provide any further information regarding the explosion.

"What is this guy hiding from me?"

At this moment, Wu Wang and Wan Shitong were like two cunning old foxes.

They were hiding in the bushes, discussing how to hunt.

Clearly, Alexander unfortunately found himself in the role of the prey.

Suddenly, the know-it-all added, "Oh, by the way, although he didn't reveal anything about the explosion and the heresy, he still reluctantly told me about the [Eternal Pass]."

"I think I've figured out why the White Tower needs the [Eternal Pass]."

Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Unexpectedly, the know-it-all revealed a mysterious smile.

He pulled a stool from the crowd, sat down, crossed his legs, and said:
"This intelligence is different; it's very valuable."

What will you offer in exchange?

"Just a heads up, it might involve a [Legendary] item hidden in this dungeon."

"I'm sure you haven't forgotten why the three of us got in here, have you? I'm actually your competitor." (End of Chapter)
