Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

[Suicide Show] Live Broadcast Venue.

Since the stadium collapsed yesterday, the new stadium has been upgraded in both scale and safety measures.

Of course, the main reason is that no one knows the truth about the stadium collapse.

That has absolutely nothing to do with safety measures.

The host is currently on stage announcing the contestants who have advanced to the next round to the audience.

Unfortunately, what should have been a 16-to-8 format only saw the names of 15 contestants announced.

The contestants who advanced but were unable to attend the competition were the same ones who were reported by staff this morning in the news to be unable to participate due to the side effects of the black ring.

It's important to know that the [Suicide Show] represents the highest honor in the entire Eternal City.

Even a rain of knives from the sky couldn't deter the contestants' determination to participate.

If there were any special circumstances preventing someone from participating, the audience would hardly believe how serious the situation must be.

It seems the credibility of the black ring's side effects is increasing.

"Have you heard? As long as you hand over that thing, you can get three unrestricted reincarnations in return! And supposedly there's a generous future fund as a reward!"

"The Future Fund? The mayor didn't mention this in today's news!"

"Ugh! It's so undignified to talk about money openly! The mayor promised three unrestricted reincarnations, and the future fund was promised by industry leaders in oil, film, and catering!"

The venue was already packed before the "Suicide Show" even started.

Tens of thousands of spectators inside the venue were discussing the event, creating a lively atmosphere.

Besides today's qualifying rounds, the topic they talked about most was the black ring that various industries and even the mayor had been boycotting this morning.

The future fund mentioned by these people is also an integral part of the Eternal City's "Rebirth" plan.

Once a person's work throughout their life has made a certain contribution to the Eternal City, they can unlock access to the Future Fund.

You can choose to invest a portion of your daily salary into a future fund.

You can also invest all your inheritance before you have the [Rebirth] qualification.

In this way, even if you don't have the memories of your previous life after being reborn in the next life, you will directly receive the money that you invested in the future fund.

It's like having a head start over others by the size of a house; in short, it's about investing in your future.

Of course, the returns you get in your next life will be different depending on how you invest in the future fund, and most people are too lazy to analyze it in detail before they qualify.

But at least every resident in the Eternal City knows that this thing exists.

Distributing the Future Fund and three unrestricted Rebirths as rewards is practically equivalent to ensuring a better life for several lifetimes to come.

There are rumors circulating among the residents that the more abundant the future fund, the greater your contribution to the Eternal City, and the higher your chances of getting a better social status in your next life.

"I wish I could find a ring," someone in the audience remarked.

His companion couldn't help but joke, "If you had the ring, wouldn't you enjoy the superpowers it brings?"

The person who had spoken earlier rolled their eyes and said, "Come on, if you use this stuff too much, you'll be repelled by the [Eternal Life Field] and won't even have a next life, so what kind of superpowers are you talking about? At best, it's just a bunch of lottery tickets around us! Whoever picks it up wins!"

It only took one morning.

The rings that Wu Wang distributed have transformed from symbols of power that grant people what they cannot do, and symbols of courage that give those who harbor resentment but dare not act, into lottery tickets that lead to a bright future.

As the ring's reputation reversed, fewer and fewer people used it, choosing instead to hand it over to the mayor.

It is said that nearly 100,000 rings were collected in just one morning.

It appears to be only one-fifth of the total.

However, those who handed over the rings and profited from them proved that the mayor and those tycoons' promises would indeed be fulfilled.

The remaining parts will then be submitted very quickly.

After all, nobody wants their lottery ticket to expire, right?

Listening to the comments from these audience members.

Inside the privileged family box reserved for the contestants.

Bai Cha kept her head down and remained silent, seemingly deep in thought. Ever since Wu Wang finished talking to her that morning, this girl had become quite quiet.
Peanut scoffed at Willow Leaf Blade, "How ridiculous! Does Yan Shuangying really think he can take on all the high-ranking officials in the city by himself?"

The Lancet did not comment on this.

She was very clear about her position among the players who entered the dungeon during this Calamity event.

Cannon fodder, or rather, a role used to test something dangerous.

After all, she still has that chip implanted in the brain of a death row inmate.

Expressing too much of your own thoughts will only arouse the vigilance of others, even when they are not around.

Yingluo and Huixin were nowhere to be found.

Needless to say, Wu Wang, as a contestant whose name was called to advance, was naturally not in the VIP box.

He's backstage getting ready right now.

Not long after, the contestants who had advanced began their suicide show.

Compared to the skills used before, the competition is now much fiercer.

Each contestant showcased their signature skills.

Each one made the audience in the venue temporarily forget about the lottery rings.

Focus all your attention on the spectacular stage.

The cheers and screams nearly lifted the ceiling off the stadium.

Fourteen contestants performed in a row.

This has brought the residents' emotions to a fever pitch.

It has to be said that the planners of the "Suicide Show" really know how to pique people's interest.

They deliberately placed Yan Shuangying, the most unique contestant in this episode's "Suicide Show" and one who brought her own gimmick, at the end of the show.

All the residents of Eternal City are looking forward to today's final performance.

"Next up is the sole enforcer of the [Suicide Show], the legend who initiated Project Dawn, the genius suicide contestant—Yan! Shuang! Ying!"

The "Dawn Plan" mentioned by the host is naturally the plan Wu Wang promoted yesterday to arm law enforcement officers with rings.

After all, with so many law enforcement officers carrying black rings and arresting people everywhere, it's impossible to keep this a secret from the residents of Eternal City.

However, this was accompanied by the host's announcement.

The lift in the center of the stage slowly rose, and two figures appeared in front of everyone.

"Ms. Gong...?" The host was slightly taken aback.

Because besides Wu Wang, the other person was the most popular star in Eternal City.

It's safe to say that even if someone in the city hasn't seen any of her films or TV shows, they've definitely seen her somewhere else, whether it's on billboards or various promotional posters.

This is a household name celebrity.

At this moment, she was trembling slightly, her mouth was covered with a white cloth, and she looked at everyone with teary eyes, pleading for help.

At that moment, both the audience inside the venue and those watching via live stream were stunned.

I couldn't understand what Yan Shuangying was trying to do.

Wu Wang simply smiled slightly at the female celebrity.

He drew a jet-black dagger from his waist and gently pressed it against the other person's smooth, alabaster neck, whispering, "You know what will happen when this thing pierces you. Now I'm going to release your restraints, and if you utter anything I don't want to hear, it will pierce your head."

Looking into Wu Wang's eyes, which were slightly narrowed in a smile but revealed an incomparably pure killing intent.

The female celebrity nodded repeatedly in horror.

She knew exactly what was going to happen.

When the first contestant in the "Suicide Show" began his performance, this guy suddenly appeared in his private room as if by magic and easily took down all the security personnel right in front of him.

Originally, things weren't a big deal at this point.

After all, as a household name female celebrity, it's entirely expected that some residents would have inappropriate thoughts about her now that they possess a black ring that grants power.

But she didn't feel nervous at all.

Because Wu Wang had seen her at the meeting at the Eternal Building last night.

As someone who knows the truth about this city, she cannot be harmed.

However, there was another person in the same private room who was just like her.

He was the controller of the entire film and television industry, and he was also a member of the [Eternal Building].

Relying on his invulnerability, this guy wanted to go up and fight Wu Wang.

Unexpectedly, Wu Wang pulled out a black dagger and stabbed it into his heart.

The next second, the film industry tycoon, who should have been unharmed, collapsed to the ground, convulsing, as the dagger vanished from his heart in a bizarre manner.

The female celebrity watched as the powerful figure who had been her boss for over a thousand years melted away before her eyes like ice and snow.

And this seemingly sunny boy, a devil, even smiled and explained, "Don't worry, he's not just dead, he's been completely erased."

“From now on, this guy will never appear in Eternal City again, and even the backup of the [City System] cannot revive him. You should understand what this means.”

These words completely stunned the female celebrity.

It is precisely because they have lived long enough.

That's why she was even more afraid of getting hurt, let alone dying.

She watched as Wu Wang drew another black dagger and walked towards her.

The female celebrity began to kneel down and beg for mercy, pleading with the other party to let her go.

Unexpectedly, Wu Wang actually put the dagger away, indicating that he would let her go, but she had to tell the truth no matter what questions were asked when she went on stage later.

If she receives a wrong answer, the other party will delete her as well.

She agreed. And now she's on stage.

Wu Wang removed the gag from her mouth and took the microphone from the host's hand.

He looked into the camera and asked, "Tell me, have you ever been reincarnated?"

The female celebrity swallowed hard, instinctively wanting to lie.

But Wu Wang's gaze was unusually sharp, making her feel uneasy.

Feeling the coldness on her neck, she finally said, trembling, "No...nothing..."

wow——

These words immediately ignited an uproar among the audience.

Or rather, every resident in the Eternal City who is watching the live stream.

This well-known female celebrity actually said that she has never been "reincarnated"!

How is this possible!
Every resident of the Eternal City needs to be reborn!

Even if the submitted materials fail the review, you will be forced to be reincarnated a hundred years later.

The only difference is that the latter might result in a less desirable career in the next life.

Therefore, everyone will voluntarily submit their information to be "reborn".

"If you haven't been reincarnated, then why does no one know you?" Wu Wang's smile was like that of a demon crawling out of hell.

It possessed a sinister charm coupled with a dangerous aura.

A tear rolled down the female celebrity's cheek, her eyes filled with pleading, hoping that her companions inside the Eternal Tower would come to her rescue.

Unfortunately, for some reason, none of their companions came.

She could only continue, "Because every so often, the [City System] modifies my appearance, claiming that I've been [reincarnated], but in reality, I'm just continuing to live under a different identity..."

Wu Wang seemed to have anticipated this situation and continued to press, "What name did you have before?"

A hint of despair flashed in the female celebrity's eyes, and she shook her head slightly, clearly refusing to answer the question.

But the dagger on her neck pressed down harder, as if it were about to pierce her throat.

She then broke down and said, "Xu Qing, Liu Xiaoran, Ji Ruyao..."

As the names of female celebrities were mentioned one after another, the residents' expressions gradually changed from shock to disbelief.

Because every name she mentioned was a star who, in the thousands of years of development history of Eternal City, had once achieved the same level of fame as she has now.

She actually claimed that all those people were herself!

What the hell is going on here?
Hearing this answer, Wu Wang grinned and said, "I get it. You mean that the most popular star is always just you playing the role."

"That's strange. What about your boss? Or other bigwigs in other industries, including the mayor? Even a celebrity like you can achieve this level. Are they the same?"

"Oh, that explains it. Since the mayor can arbitrarily grant other residents three unrestricted reincarnations as rewards, it means that reincarnation is something he can completely control, right?"

"My God, everyone in Eternal City, did you hear that?"

Are you still fantasizing about having a better career in your next life?

"Listen to this, it's impossible. The top professional positions are always occupied by people like them. They are the ones who are truly immortal, you are not!"

Wu Wang's tone was so varied and dramatic, it was like he was performing in a stage play.

But every word he said was extremely shocking.

What... is this guy saying?

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the female celebrity.

As she herself said, she has been the top influencer in every era from the birth of Eternal City to the present.

The reason for this is that [Eternal Tower] does not want someone with extremely high fame and exposure to become a heretic and make some bad remarks one day.

Instead of doing that, let them decide who gets to use that traffic.

Sometimes she isn't even herself; she can be him, or it.

Gender and character design are not a big deal under the [City System]. As long as it can fit the trend of the residents at the time, even female celebrities who claim to be lesbians, identify as a certain gender, or have all kinds of outrageous character designs have done it.

Facing the strange looks from the public is something she's already quite adept at.

Celebrities are born to be in the spotlight.

But this time, she felt a lump in her throat and couldn't utter a single word.

Because she also realized that—if she had only talked about her own situation, there was still room for redemption.

Now, if we acknowledge that those high-ranking individuals in the Eternal City are always the same group...

Even if Yan Shuangying later let him go.

The Eternal Tower no longer has a place to stand.

Someone please save me! Anyone will do!

The female celebrity was filled with despair and screaming inside.

"I……"

However, just as she slightly opened her mouth in inner turmoil, a dark shadow silently sprang out from the audience.

It hurtled straight toward the female celebrity's forehead with a bizarre arc that defied all the laws of physics.

Just as Wu Wang, who was standing nearby, reacted and reached out to stop it, the dark figure seemed to have a life of its own, changing direction in mid-air and circling behind him.

Ultimately, it pierced through the back of the female celebrity's head.

Watching the female celebrity fall to the ground with lifeless eyes, the familiar black dagger stuck in the back of her head gradually melted away.

Wu Wang grinned.

"White Pagoda, you finally couldn't sit still anymore."

"You know I can't keep revealing the truth, right? That's why I'm taking matters into my own hands to eliminate the threat at hand."

His words left the audience somewhat confused.

But then, just a few seconds later...

Viewers, both at the venue and in the online live stream, noticed that something was wrong.

Logically speaking, the [Suicide Show] should have a specially made temporary [Rebirth Pool] inside.

This is also used to allow players to revive quickly.

But now, the actress who was killed by the black dagger has nothing left.

It seemed that the resurrection from the [Rebirth Pool] had no effect on her at all.

The next second, the female celebrity's body also began to disappear on the stage.

The white tower, hidden in the crowd, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As Wu Wang said, he could not tolerate the truth being known to the entire city in this way, as it would have a great impact on the very existence of the Eternal City.

Furthermore, due to the existence of the temporary "rebirth pool," it is impossible to simply kill the female celebrity.

Otherwise, she would immediately resurrect on stage and be threatened again to tell the truth.

Then the only option is to delete it using [Delite's Blade].

Although this was something that would have been done sooner or later, Yan Shuangying's problem seemed to have forced him to bring his plans forward.

Unexpectedly, Wu Wang, who should have been furious after his spell was interrupted, was instead enraged.

Instead, he threw his head back and burst into laughter.

He casually brandished the black dagger in his hand, twirling it with casual flourishes.

He jokingly said to the camera, "The White Pagoda, do you know it?"

"A gun with ten bullets may not be able to control a hundred people, but a gun with nine bullets can definitely control ninety-nine people."

"Thank you for being the bullet that was fired."

"You've successfully helped me make those big shots realize just how magical this beautiful dagger is, and made them realize that this gun really can kill people."

"It also made them realize that, besides me, the heretics also have this kind of thing."

"My God, heretics are terrifying!"

Upon hearing this, Peanut's expression in the private room changed drastically.

She suddenly realized where Yingluo and Huixin had gone!

They went to kidnap or threaten the important figures who had expressed their opposition to the ring in the news!

The weapon used to threaten these people is the [Delite Blade], which can delete character codes!
But Yan Shuangying only had two daggers that were taken from her body!

He simply didn't have that many daggers to actually threaten anyone.

However, now, in front of the entire city's live broadcast, Bai Ta's strike proved that the [Delit Blade] can ignore the [Rebirth Pool] and kill the target.

Ordinary residents might just be shocked, but what if those important figures really had never been "reborn" as Yan Shuangying just said?

Their fear and apprehension towards the [Delite Blade] were definitely beyond that of ordinary people.

At this point, even if the daggers in Yingluo and Huixin's hands do not have this effect, as long as they are completely identical in appearance to the [Delit Blade],

These important figures wouldn't dare gamble on whether the daggers in their hands were real or fake!

That guy Yan Shuangying...

Just as I said this morning!

He planned to bring down all those important figures.

Then he himself will take office and assume power!
He is overthrowing the Eternal City... with a dagger... (End of Chapter)
