Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

"Huh...huh..."

"This is absolutely a power that can change everything!"

At the home of a hotel employee in Eternal City who works a 9-to-5 job.

Logically, at this time he should be sitting in front of the TV enjoying the rerun of the "Suicide Show".

Why is it a replay?
He was at work when the live stream started.

While the entire Eternal City was cheering for the [Suicide Show], and everyone was appreciating the art of suicide and the unparalleled sensory stimulation, I was actually at work!

The reason is that when I left work last night, I did not receive a satisfactory rating for the service quality of a certain private room.

According to the rules set by the hotel owner, if this happens, the waiter in charge of the private room will have to work two hours overtime the next day.

Unfortunately, the time I was working overtime happened to coincide with the live broadcast time of the "Suicide Show".

Under the pressure of that fat, big-eared boss.

The waiters had no choice but to wait until after their shift to watch the program replay.

Unexpectedly, on his way home, feeling dejected...

Unexpectedly, he encountered good fortune and obtained a jet-black ring from a masked stranger who appeared and disappeared without a trace. The other party was just like the old man in a novel who brings a magical artifact to the protagonist, or the kind of reclusive master who hides at the bottom after the protagonist falls off a cliff.

In short, encountering such a person will mark the beginning of a life-changing turnaround for the protagonist, ultimately leading them to the pinnacle of success.

The waiter is a hardcore fan of fantasy novels.

He also firmly believed that he would meet his destined old man and become the chosen one to get everything he wanted.

When he received the ring and felt the surge of power within him, he was able to easily move the car that usually occupied his parking space with his bare hands.

The waiter knew—this day had finally arrived.

He will use this magical artifact to gradually rise above this mediocre world and create an extraordinary and brilliant life.

Of course, residents of Eternal City can also experience new and exciting lives by being reborn in the [Rebirth Pool].

However, this requires preparing a lot of information about one's current social identity and going through a lot of verification.

Otherwise, if everyone could be born whenever they wanted, society would probably be in chaos long ago.

The waiter calculated that, based on his current identity and records, it would take him about fifty years before he could be reborn into the next life.

Fifty years! A full fifty years!

He felt he couldn't hold on for that long.

Perhaps he will try out for the preliminary rounds of next year's "Suicide Show".

Because, apart from dying, the waiter felt he couldn't find any other motivation to do anything else.

The boss is an idiot, the customers are brain-dead, and the colleagues are jerks.

At least, that's how it appears from his perspective.

Now that he possessed power that surpassed all of them, the waiter suddenly realized that he might not need fifty years.

Everything can be changed today!
He planned to go back to the hotel, find the boss, twist off his head, and stuff it into the other man's own dermatitis.

Once that guy is resurrected tomorrow, he'll realize that he's become someone you can't mess with!

With that in mind, the waiter carefully put on the black ring, and after slightly turning it to activate the heretical ability of [Great Strength], he casually picked up the hand grip strengthener he usually used for physical exercise.

Click——

The hand gripper that I used to have to grit my teeth and try my best to close halfway was now crushed into a piece of metal with a crisp sound.

"Sure enough, as the number of times it is used increases, the power within this ring is gradually becoming stronger, as if my body is getting more and more used to it."

As the saying goes, great effort can produce miracles.

"As long as you have enough strength, you have nothing to fear!"

Just as the waiter was happily starting to dream about the future...

Suddenly I felt my legs go weak.

What followed was a strong feeling of weightlessness.

He was shocked to discover that the once solid ground had somehow developed a strange, fluid quality, like quicksand in a movie, which quickly swallowed his lower body.

The waiter almost instinctively tried to pull himself out by bracing his hands on the ground.

Unexpectedly, the moment the hand touched the ground, the quicksand-like ground changed again.

The soil seemed to come alive, wrapping around my arms and trying to pry my hands apart by squeezing between my fingers.

"Holy crap! This thing is planning to steal my life and help me turn my life around!"

The waiter immediately realized that if he opened his palm, the ring on his finger would be pulled off in an instant.

Faced with this situation, he clenched his fists tightly.

Fortunately, the heretical ability granted by the black ring happens to be [Great Strength].

The soil couldn't pry his hands open in a short time.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a figure slowly emerged from the ground.

If Wu Wang and the others were here, they would immediately recognize this as the crew-cut man who was in charge of controlling the terrain and even creating rock protrusions during the heretical attack on the art warehouse.

He looked down at the waiter and said coldly, "Hand over the ring."

Upon seeing the mastermind appear, the waiter scoffed, "Hmph! How could I possibly hand it over? You'll be the ones in trouble once I crawl out!"

Faced with this stubborn fellow, the man with the buzz cut bent down and patted his head, saying with a pitiful look, "Please, I just don't want to make things too ugly. Otherwise, I could suffocate you to death on the ground right now and then pick up the ring from your corpse without any problem."

"You don't really think I'm discussing this with you, do you? I just hope you can have some self-awareness."

Self-awareness! And yet again, self-awareness!
In a society where everything is predetermined, the one thing that is never lacking is self-awareness!

Everyone needs to have a clear understanding of their own identity and profession!

The waiter's forehead veins bulged.

He no longer wants to adhere to the so-called self-awareness!
bang-bang-bang-

A muffled sound came from underground.

The man with the buzz cut had his brows furrowed.

He could sense that the waiter was struggling, repeatedly pounding the soil with his fists, trying to pull his hands out of the ground.

Since the other party is putting up a stubborn resistance, they can't blame themselves.

Thinking of this, sharp spikes began to appear on the ground near the waiter's head.

It seemed like it was about to pierce his head any second.

After all, the black ring only brings [great strength], not indestructibility.

Essentially, this guy is still just a mortal being, as fragile as paper, easily broken with a single poke.

"Die."

"stop!"

Just as the spiked earth was about to emerge from the ground to deliver a fatal blow.

A firm voice came from the front door.

The next second, the spikes seemed to freeze in place, completely unable to move, and even the struggling waiter stood frozen in place with a stiff expression.

Then a voice, filled with exasperation and frustration, said through gritted teeth, "How many times have I told you! Focus! Focus!"

"You must focus your attention on the target you've set your sights on! Don't pull out anything else nearby! Doing so will tire you out very quickly!"

The man with the buzz cut was taken aback when he heard the voice behind him.

Then he turned around with a surprised expression.

Suddenly, they saw that familiar figure standing at the door—wasn't this the same person who had tried to take back the peanut not long ago?
However, standing in front of the peanut was a female secretary in a suit and tie, looking embarrassed.

The other person was wearing the same jet-black ring and pointing their hand in this direction.

Unexpectedly, the operation failed in less than four hours.

I can't believe I met them here!

"Peanut! You weren't..."

The man with the buzz cut was overjoyed.

She lifted her leg, intending to walk over and take the peanuts away. Unexpectedly, the secretary in front of her immediately turned her hand towards herself.

He said in a slightly forceful tone, "I'm sorry, but please don't come near me. Otherwise, I will arrest you for violating public safety and order."

After saying that, she took out a notebook about the size of her palm from her coat pocket.

They flipped it open, pointing it at the man with the buzz cut; it clearly stated—

[Law Enforcer White Tea]

When she revealed her identity document, Bai Cha's eyes couldn't help but overflow with pride, like a child looking forward to being praised.

This is the promotion that Lord Yan Shuangying just gave her.

She was also allowed to use the power of the black ring to guide other unscrupulous individuals in the city who also possessed rings, using her fists to correct their personalities and transform them into allies of justice.

Of course, if you can't guide them, then recall their ring in the name of law enforcement (beat them up and steal the ring).

Take the ring back to headquarters and distribute it to the appropriate person.

Well, to put it simply—

Confess and you will be severely punished; resist and you will be severely punished.

Bai Cha was initially somewhat resistant to this approach, but when Wu Wang showed her the surveillance footage from various corners of the city, depicting how those who possessed black rings, after figuring out their uses, began to refrain from eating beef as revenge against those they disliked, even leading to the deaths of many residents.

She had to admit that Wu Wang was right.

For people who do such things, verbal instruction is meaningless, especially since they possess powerful abilities that ordinary people cannot handle.

Law enforcement officers must also arm themselves.

At that time, Lord Yan Shuangying said, "My father said there is one more thing: we must use magic to defeat magic."

Although I don't know who his "father" is, what he said does make a lot of sense.

And so, this scene unfolded.

Of course, the change in attitude towards peanuts...

That would be a bit bizarre.

For example, the guy with the buzz cut was completely baffled, looking at Peanut with a strange expression and asking, "What are you doing? Come with me!"

Peanut shrugged and said, "Sorry, I can't leave for now."

After saying that, she slightly raised her head, revealing the collar around her neck.

He then pointed to the same collar around Bai Cha's neck and said, "If the two of us are more than ten meters apart, this thing will blow my head to bits."

The white tea vendor kindly reminded customers, "There aren't any pieces that big."

At this point, they both recalled the terrifying scene when Yan Shuangying demonstrated her power, frying a pig's head until not even a bone fragment could be found.

The guy was still chuckling and making jokes like, "8848 titanium collar, automatically explodes ten meters after separation from the machine."

In response, the man with the buzz cut said viciously, "You've been threatened by Yan Shuangying? Then I'll just take this woman with me, won't I?"

brush--

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Cha proudly rolled up her sleeves.

There are seven or eight strange watch straps that fit snugly against the skin, running from the wrist to the forearm and then to the upper arm.

Peanut helped explain: "See these? Some of these things are for locating her position, some are for monitoring her heart rate, some are for scanning her brainwave activity, some are for reporting the degree of compression on her limbs' blood circulation, and some are just random data that I don't understand either."

"Anyway, as long as we can draw conclusions from these data indicators that this girl was knocked unconscious, killed, tied up, or even turned red with anger."

"This thing on my neck is going to explode."

The man with the buzz cut: "..."

Holy crap! Yan Shuangying is a madman!

Back when he was in the art warehouse, he used peanuts as a shield, which he felt was already the lowest possible standard.

These methods are now even more outrageous!

What is this? Thought imprisonment?
Peanut may not appear to be tied up, but in reality, he still can't go anywhere.

"Then you are now..."

The man with the buzz cut was still a little confused about what Peanut had said to White Tea when he came into the house.

Unexpectedly, these words made Peanut's expression turn somewhat serious.

He said in a serious tone, "I'm teaching her how to skillfully use [Heretical Abilities]."

"As for why I taught her, you'll have to ask Bai Ta for that. I also have a lot of questions for him."

Suddenly, Peanut stopped calling Baita by titles like "leader," "boss," or "boss" and started calling him by his full name.

The man with the buzz cut couldn't understand what had happened in the past few hours.

But now it seems that I can't get any answers from Peanut either.

Therefore, he had no choice but to go back and report the situation to the White Pagoda.

Just as the man with the buzz cut was about to leave, Peanut suddenly asked, "You were planning to kill this waiter and take the ring, weren't you? Does the White Tower allow you to do that?"

The man with the buzz cut didn't hide anything from the question.

He nodded directly and said, "Brother Bai has allowed us to use any means to take the ring and destroy it. You should know very well that this is to protect the Eternal City."

There was something he didn't say aloud, but the implication was quite clear.

Since destroying the Black Ring is to protect the Eternal Tower, isn't Peanut's current act of helping White Tea obtain the Black Ring just aiding and abetting evil?
As heretics who can secretly infiltrate anywhere in the Eternal City.

They had already sensed it when Yan Shuangying returned to the law enforcement headquarters to issue the order.

Not only did the law enforcement officers not resist the black rings, but they also not only armed their own people with them, but they also recruited and screened residents with a sense of justice, giving them the social identity of "temporary law enforcement officers" and assigning them brand new black rings.

It's as if a hidden hand is silently redefining the Black Ring from a dangerous weapon that could destroy the Eternal City into an essential item for its defense.

However, only the White Tower knew very well that no matter how people's perceptions of this thing changed, it could not change the fact that its existence was a bug for the Eternal City.

The more it's used, the more frustrated programmers become.

The more someone admires this thing, the more they secretly want to cause destruction!

It goes without saying who this person is.

Based on Alexander's words, it is almost certain that the White Tower was created by Yan Shuangying.

I never expected that the piece I used as the first move would actually jump off the board.

Faced with this situation, no one knows how the White Pagoda plans to respond.

His instructions to the heretics remained the same: to retrieve the black ring.

"Understood, you can go now."

"Tell the White Tower that if he wants me to go back, he should come to me in person."

"Ask him if he is still the same White Tower that hopes everyone can grow up as vibrantly as a flower."

After saying that, Peanut turned his back to the man with the buzz cut.

So as not to let the other person see her slightly red eyes.

Many things happened during those four hours together, the most important of which was that Peanut realized that White Tea's heretical abilities were exactly the same as his own.

However, the White Tower had once told her that every heretic possesses unique abilities upon self-awakening.

While special objects can create duplicate heretical abilities, this only applies to those who cannot awaken their own abilities.

Peanut's abilities are its own; they are not given by any special object.

That's why she was able to perceive that although Bai Cha's ability seemed to be granted by the black ring, the black ring was actually just a medium that stimulated Bai Cha's own ability to manifest.

The evidence is this: no matter what heretical abilities the original black ring contained, in Bai Cha's hands it would only be the ability to extract code and stop everything.

This was originally impossible.

unless……

Peanut didn't want to speculate on that possibility.

But she also clearly realized that Bai Ta had hidden many things from her, and also from his sister Bai Cha.

His actions may not be as simple as just vying for control of the [City System] as they appear on the surface.

The White Pagoda also has a second plan... (End of Chapter)
