Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

The brightly lit Eternal Tower looks just like the ever-standing lighthouse in Eternal City.

It seemed to be guiding the future direction of the entire city's residents.

Yingluo nodded thoughtfully and asked, "So what do we do now? Should we break in and ask what's going on?"

In her opinion, there is currently no player in this instance who can truly defeat the players of the Calamity in terms of direct combat power.

Those heretics are really bad at fighting.

Players who are involved in the Calamity are almost always walking on the edge of life and death. Danger and combat have become second nature to them. How can these hothouse flowers compare to them?

This is why, despite the attack on the Art Warehouse being a three-on-ten battle, the players from the Calamity faction consistently held the upper hand.

Alexander had anticipated this, which is why he insisted on pursuing the second plan of replacement.

Since Yan Shuangying also said that those guys with rings he sent in never returned, it's likely that sending in more of them would yield the same result.

Why not just have those few Calamity players force their way in and see what's going on?

Wu Wang shook his head and said, "It won't work, or rather, it's impossible."

After saying that, he took out a phone from his pocket and casually tapped a couple of times to open a pre-recorded video.

The video angle is exactly at the end of the alley where the group is currently located.

The next second, the environment around the video changed instantly, and the person filming suddenly appeared in the middle of the street, with a car coming straight at them and almost hitting them.

Seeing their puzzled looks, Wu Wang shrugged and said, "I filmed this video. I noticed something was wrong with the [Eternal Building] in the evening, so I took an action camera and wanted to go in and check it out."

"I have a skill that allows me to teleport instantly, which you should know."

"The video shows me using my skill, intending to teleport directly into the building, but instead finding myself teleporting through it and appearing on the street on the other side of the building."

Yingluo and Huixin exchanged a glance.

They did witness Yan Shuangying using the Flash ability while fighting the heretics in the art warehouse.

I didn't expect that even this guy couldn't get inside the Eternal Tower?
Wu Wang gestured with his hands to show the outline of the building and explained, "This building is like it's shielded by some kind of protective mechanism. No force from the outside can penetrate it. It's not physically unbreakable, but rather it's strangely unselectable. You can think of it as—it's not on the same level as us."

This was the result Wu Wang obtained after many experiments that evening.

The reason why his [Seven Star Steps of Heaven] was not blocked by the building was that he could not select a location inside the building when using the skill, so he could only pass through the building and appear behind it.

As for forcibly breaking in...

Wu Wang then clicked on the second video.

The location of the main entrance of the Eternal Building was clearly visible above. He quietly took out the Black Dragon Fang Blade from his backpack and slashed it hard at the heel of the security guard who was in a daze.

However, the imagined scene of blood and gore did not materialize.

Instead, the grotesque serrated blades were bounced away as if they had struck a rock; no, even the rock would have been cut with white marks.

But the security guard acted as if he had been bitten by a mosquito, instinctively raising his leg to scratch the itch on his trouser leg.

This made Yingluo and Huixin look like they had seen a ghost.

Even though the original skills and items of the players in the Calamity are not as high priority as the Heretic abilities in this dungeon.

But that doesn't mean they're useless!

After all, the Eternal City is mostly populated by ordinary people. What ordinary person can withstand a blow with their bare body?
Not to mention ordinary people, even Bai Ta's head was once chopped off by Yan Shuangying.
Now, facing an ordinary security guard, I can't even get him hurt!
"Based on my experience, I personally believe that rather than the defense being too high or the attack effect being too low, it's more accurate to say that the people inside the building are in a state of being 'indestructible,' like a background texture in a video game that cannot be interacted with; the game character simply cannot destroy it."

"Trying to break through head-on is simply a pipe dream, which is probably why the White Tower hasn't made a move yet."

Upon hearing this, Huixin subconsciously asked, "Hmm? There's also the matter of the White Pagoda?"

Wu Wang grinned as he looked at the towering skyscraper.

"The White Pagoda has been considered heretical for quite some time now."

"When he first threatened me, I thought he was just bluffing because he didn't know the location of the [City System] terminal."

"Now it seems that since this is a well-structured city, it should also have a governing body."

"Even if everything is taken over by the [City System] program, shouldn't the [City System] still need someone to oversee and protect it?"

"Given White Tower's capabilities, it shouldn't have been able to detect the problem with the [Eternal Building] for so long. It can only mean that he actually knew all along that the [City System] terminal was in this building."

"But like me now, he can't find a way to get into the core of the building."

At this moment, Lancet suddenly raised a question.

She pointed to some windows upstairs where lights were on and shadowy figures could be seen occasionally, and asked, "What about applying for a job? How about becoming a staff member and sneaking in?"

However, Wu's death quickly extinguished her illusions.

"Like I said, given the White Tower's capabilities, he's probably already tried out your idea a long time ago."

"Since he still needs the champion of the [Suicide Show] to contact the [City System], it proves that there must be some problem with the application of this [Endpoint] Group. Perhaps his memories will be directly altered and taken over by the [City System], turning him into a real puppet."

I don't recommend you try it.

Infiltrating is impossible, brute force is out of the question, and there are problems with being admitted through official channels.

After hearing that Wu Wang had blocked all avenues, everyone couldn't help but show a bewildered expression.

Huixin's lips twitched as she asked, "Then... why did you call us here? Are you really going to have us look for the pearl necklace in the alley?"

Yes! If it's just about telling them about the Eternal Tower, there's absolutely no need to come all this way!

The group still completely trusts the information provided by Yan Shuangying at this stage, and they can simply discuss it at their residence at the Enforcement Headquarters.

They finally got to the crucial point.

Wu Wang raised his hand and lightly flicked his body.

In an instant, the slightly flamboyant black trench coat lost its mystery, leaving only a thin shirt that looked plain, and even his slightly curly, messy hair became a side part that revealed his forehead.

In an instant, he transformed from a youthful and impetuous person into a proper office worker, and even a briefcase appeared in his hand without his knowledge.

He smiled at the group and said, "I only said I didn't recommend you go, not that I wouldn't go."

"I'm going to apply for the job right now. You guys stay outside and keep watch. If any heretics get close, shoot them dead. Don't let them get in my way."

"Don't worry, I won't disappear."

This is naturally the confidence that Wu Wang possessed due to his "immortality".

His soul will always belong to himself and can never be truly erased.

Having said that, Wu Wang walked out of the alley.

The three women were left looking at each other helplessly.

"Has he always been so willful and self-willed?" Huixin asked with a sigh.

Yingluo shrugged and said, "You've seen Yan Shuangying's information, haven't you? Since he first came out of the woodwork, what he's done has left everyone speechless?"

She didn't seem to be particularly affected by Yan Shuangying's behavior.

After all, I've gotten somewhat used to it.

And so they watched as Wu Wang walked straight toward the entrance of the Eternal Building.

Unsurprisingly, he was stopped by the security guard.

"What are you doing here? No unauthorized personnel allowed in the Eternal Building!"

The security guard's tone was somewhat cold, and even carried a hint of threat.

Faced with this attitude, Wu Wang simply reached into his empty briefcase.

The next second, he pulled out a freshly generated piece of paper with the words "[Eternal Building Interview Qualification]" written on it and grinned:

"I'm a newcomer here for an interview." This was from the time I returned to law enforcement headquarters until nightfall.

Besides crafting the jet-black ring, Wu Wang spent most of his time investigating the life trajectories of the employees within the Eternal Building.

The law enforcement officers used their authority to access the surveillance footage inside the [Rebirth Pool].

The system targets employees currently working in the building and rewinds the monitoring timeline to the moment of their birth, when they changed professions from the "Rebirth Pool".

Wu Wang discovered that most employees did not seem very surprised when they received their employee status from the [Endpoint] Group.

Instead, he skillfully packed his things and rushed to the building to start working.

It was as if they had known all along that this would happen.

In response, Wu Wang applied to inquire about the jobs these employees had in their "previous lives," wanting to know what they did before.

However, it was discovered that the database at the law enforcement headquarters showed insufficient permissions.

These four characters are quite subtle.

As the head of law enforcement, I should theoretically be the highest authority in this organization.

I'm encountering a permission insufficient problem!

Clearly, this permission does not refer to the authority of a law enforcement officer, but rather to the permission to query data in the [City System].

This situation only made Wu Wang feel more suspicious.

He even had a suspicion—

The employees of the Eternal Building may have worked here in their past lives.

Oh, perhaps it wasn't just in their past lives, maybe they've been employees here since the [Eternal Life Field] was established a thousand years ago.

The so-called "reincarnation" to change professions is merely a way to deceive the world.

Otherwise, if these employees are never replaced, sooner or later someone will notice something is wrong.

However, the Rebirth Pool perfectly resolves this doubt.

Because after being reborn, one can change their appearance and even their gender, thus completely severing ties with their past life.

In this way, even if the same person is reincarnated and remains an employee of the group, no one who knows him will notice the problem.

However, it's still that same old problem—

In Wu Wang's view, nothing is truly perfect.

If even the Eternal City program itself has bugs like heresy, what about a certain group or organization within the city?
He believed that mistakes would inevitably occur during this process.

So, I spent an afternoon reviewing the reincarnations of each employee.

Finally, he found five unusual employees.

When they were reborn, they had an extra piece of paper on them that read "Eternal Building Interview Qualification".

Upon receiving the gift, it was clear that these five people showed a more ecstatic expression compared to the other employees.

On their way to the Eternal Tower, the group displayed a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

Unlike those guys who already knew they were employees of the Eternal Tower, he was completely unremarkable.

This also gave Wu Wang more room for imagination.

"Perhaps, over the course of a thousand years, some bugs have occurred within the group, causing it to lose a few employees."

"In this situation, they had no choice but to select a few ordinary residents of Eternal City to convert into employees."

"In other words, although the probability is very low, the group still has opportunities to recruit new members."

That's why Wu Wang dares to barge in with just a blank sheet of paper with writing on it.

He bet that someone at the security guard level couldn't possibly know about the group's recruitment process.

The mechanism for recruiting new members is something that other residents should not know about.

Therefore, anyone who can bring this thing to an interview must have received tacit approval from the company's upper management.

Sure enough, the security guard was stunned for a moment after seeing the paper in Wu Wang's hand.

He then nodded and let him pass.

They also helped open the building's doors.

Wu Wang folded the paper and put it back in his briefcase.

I started walking towards the interior of the building.

The moment I stepped inside, a series of system notifications immediately popped up in my mind—

[Hidden Quest - Available to Permanent Employees]

[Hidden Quest - The Thousand-Faced One can be unlocked]

[Hidden Quest - The Caged Bird can be unlocked]

[Hidden Quest - Show Project Available]

【……】

A barrage of at least a dozen so-called hidden quest prompts popped up.

This made Wu Wang's expression even more interesting.

He suddenly remembered that his negative charm value gave him a passive ability called "Target of Public Criticism".

Its effect can increase the probability of obtaining side quests or hidden quests.

However, Wu Wang speculated that the increased probability actually came from those so-called trap missions, which would not only fail to help the main storyline but might even cause interference and obstacles.

So many hidden quests have appeared all at once.

Their malicious intentions are so obvious that they're not even pretending anymore.

How could there be so many hidden quests with rewards in a single instance?
These tasks will definitely involve a lot of actions that could lead to your actions being noticed by people within the group.

It might even attract the attention of the [City System], allowing the programmers to become aware of the presence of players in the Eternal City in advance.

If most players saw this, they would probably be tempted by even the slightest bit of greed and try to distinguish the truly rewarding missions from the trap missions.

Then it's probably not far from Game Over!

"Hehe, you really wish I'd fail in the dungeon, huh?" Wu Wang laughed, ignoring all the quests.

We went directly inside the building.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a bizarre scene.

A man carrying a stack of documents walked hurriedly past Wu Wang, entered the elevator, and disappeared.

The name tag on the man's chest read "Hua Wuyin" in large characters.

His face, however, resembled that of an old friend.

"White Tower? Why does this guy look so much like White Tower? And why is his name the same as the programmer who designed the [Eternal Life Field]?"

Countless possibilities suddenly flashed through Wu Wang's mind.

A new system notification also appeared.

[Hidden Quest - Twin Souls Across the Other Shore can now be unlocked] (End of Chapter)
