Eternal Night

Chapter 33 The weekend begins!
Wu Xianxiao opened his eyes, but did not jump up immediately. Instead, he looked around silently, listened to the sounds, and sensed the situation.

During the previous two "weekends", he was killed because he sat up suddenly. Death here came without any warning, and any sudden movement could bring death.

I opened my eyes and looked around secretly, and saw darkness all around. After a long time, I could slowly see some things clearly.

This seems to be a factory, workshop, or something similar.

Seeing this, Wu Xianxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

During his first two "weekends", he landed directly in a pile of graves. There was an exaggeratedly huge full moon in the sky, and the graves were full of corpses and ghosts flying around. He was extremely lucky to die twice and be reborn in an empty coffin, and then survived until the end of the "weekend".

The second "weekend" brought him to a "small" town.

The reason why this town is marked with a special symbol is that it is not small at all. Not only is it not small, it is incredibly large.

Wu Xianxiao had already mastered the Tiger Magic Skill at that time. Although he might have only touched the edge of Ming Jin, his physical strength and mobility were also better than that of ordinary people. He climbed to a high building in the town and looked down. Everywhere he looked was countless densely packed buildings and alleys...

It was a town that was constantly growing, changing, and "living," an enormous maze. And not only the town itself was a maze, all the buildings that were a little bit bigger also became mazes.

After confirming the situation in the town, Wu Xianxiao bravely wanted to leave the town at first, but he soon regretted it because as long as he left the center of the town and entered any alley, he would not be able to find the way back in ten minutes at most. What he faced was an endlessly changing maze, and the deeper he went, the more horrors he encountered.

Not only did he die three times at the end of the second "week", he was also corrupted, with one-third of his body mutated and many of his past memories disappearing.

It was really luck that he was able to survive the second "weekend", because as long as he stayed in the center of the town, his chances of survival would increase greatly. The maze there had the least changes and the least horror, although it was still a gamble with his life.

And this was the third "weekend" he had to spend, and it seemed that he was in a closed area. So according to experience, as long as he hid in a corner and stayed quiet and motionless, he would have a great chance of surviving this "weekend".

So Wu Xianxiao slowly propped himself up from the ground, trying to reduce the amplitude of his body movements as much as possible. Only then could he see everything around him more clearly.

This seemed to be a food processing factory. He saw some employees screening meat pieces on the assembly line. In the distance, there was another assembly line processing the meat pieces into cans.

It seemed normal... except for the other picture in his eyes.

The entire factory immediately changed from neat and orderly to dirty and messy, and even its image changed. It no longer looked like a modern assembly line factory, but more like an ancient or modern rural slaughterhouse, an old-fashioned slaughterhouse that looked like a scene from a horror movie.

All the employees turned into monsters with the heads of minotaurs, pigs, goats, birds, etc. They were tall and strong, and the shortest ones were at least two meters and five feet tall. The pieces of meat they were picking and picking all had obvious human organ features, hands, feet, and even half of a human body with a head...

But this... is not the real truth!
Wu Xianxiao forced himself to suppress his desire to spy, because behind this horrifying scene, he could still vaguely see a blurry and hazy picture...

Dozens of strange-shaped machines made of wires, metals, messy parts, and some flesh and blood were using electric saws, hammers, and various tools to cut up all kinds of life, including human life and some that Wu Xianxiao had never seen before. All life was being cut, smashed, and decomposed, and then thrown into a huge container that looked very, very high-end.

but!

This is not even the deepest truth. Wu Xianxiao has a hunch that there is something real hidden behind this most blurry picture, but unfortunately he can't see it clearly.

At this moment, the fragment of Coptis chinensis worn on Wu Xianxian's neck fluctuated slightly, and then in an instant, all the "employees" he could see turned their heads and looked at him.

If it were before, Wu Xianxiao would be ready to run away now, but because he had the Coptis chinensis fragments, he resisted the urge to run away or attack first, and just stood up as if nothing had happened.

The core rule of inspiration is that when you perceive the "real" or the weird, then the real and the weird will also perceive you simultaneously.

Now two data of his inspiration have been lit up, namely, strange perception 2.2, and obstacle-breaking perception 1.4, which means that the strength of his strange perception is sixty-four times that of an ordinary person, and his obstacle-breaking perception is four times that of an ordinary person. This is enough for him to see the truth that countless ordinary people cannot see at all.

But this is not all good, because when you see the reality, the reality will also see you. For example, in the previous dream world, the reason why he was stared at and then branded by the Mother of No Birth was probably because he "saw" the Mother of No Birth, which led to him being stared at.

According to his level of inspiration, when these "employees" looked at him, perhaps what he had to face was not the attacks of various beast-headed monsters, but the more terrifying attacks of machines made of countless iron wire parts and flesh. However, this did not happen. After looking at him for three or four seconds, these employees turned around and continued their work. Only one employee who looked moderately fat walked towards Wu Xianxiao and said as he walked, "Newcomer, go to the slaughter area. I don't know what's going on over there. The shipping speed is getting slower and slower. We only have 23 hours left, and the consignee will be here soon!"

While speaking, the fat employee who was suspected to be the supervisor also kindly pointed in the direction.

Wu Xianxiao walked towards the slaughtering area without saying a word.

Underneath all this calmness, in fact, it all depends on the magical effect of the Coptis chinensis fragments, which can even be called a miraculous effect.

It directly ignores the most core rule of inspiration. It can unilaterally perceive the "truth" to a certain extent, but it will not be known by the truth. This is a magical skill under any circumstances. It makes the inspiration attribute, which was originally a double-edged sword, suddenly become a magical skill with only positive benefits!

For example, right now, Wu Xianxiao felt that he could get away with it this "weekend". As long as he didn't reveal any mistakes, he could pretend that he didn't know the truth.

Based on his experience over the past two "weekends", as time went on, the surrounding environment and living creatures would become more and more bizarre and terrifying, but this would at least allow him to delay for more than half the time.

The weekend lasts for twenty-four hours!
It is estimated that there are more than twenty-three hours left, which is the time when the consignee mentioned by the fat supervisor will arrive!
Wu Xianxiao lowered his head and walked towards the slaughtering area. He tried his best not to look at those "employees" and the meat.

Although the Coptis chinensis fragments were extremely powerful, they also had limitations. That was that they could only block the "truth" of the baseline reality at the level of 0.9 and 0.8. His inspiration was extremely strong, and he didn't know if the Coptis chinensis fragments could withstand it. So he didn't dare to look around along the way, and he had been restraining himself from wanting to spy on the truth.

Just like that, he walked to the entrance of the slaughter area with a seemingly normal but actually slightly slow pace. Before he opened the door, a strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils.

(I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary person struggling to survive. Maybe I have some strength, but compared to these terrifying monsters, I'm still an ant. I'm sorry, I'm sorry...)
Wu Xianxiao stood in front of the gate of the slaughtering area and took a breath, then pushed the gate open. Behind the gate was a series of assembly lines, but these were slaughtering lines.

The cattle slaughtering line, the pig slaughtering line, and the sheep slaughtering line have their outermost interfaces connected to the outside of the factory. Pigs, cattle, and sheep are constantly pushed in by conveyor belts from the outside. However, these assembly lines are not fully intelligently controlled, and there is no electrocution before the animals are pushed in. Instead, they are first flushed with high-pressure water and then moved forward. "Employees" stab and dismember the animals with various instruments outside the conveyor belt, and then put the body parts on the conveyor belt, flush them with water, and then convey them to the outside of the slaughtering area. This is a set of assembly lines.

In Wu Xianxiao's eyes, all the cows were strong or very fat humans, while the pigs were males and the sheep were females. They all had dull expressions, like puppets, and were teleported in naked from outside the factory.

There was nothing he could do at this time. He could only lower his head and try not to look.

At this time, a tall and strong man among the "employees" said, "Newcomer, go to the sheep area to help out."

Wu Xianxiao nodded silently, and then he casually walked to a "sheep" slaughtering assembly line, watching the numb humans passing by below, feeling sad and frightened, and he lowered his head and pretended to be serious.

Suddenly at this moment, he noticed that there seemed to be some commotion at the end of a conveyor belt, but all the "employees" ignored it. He walked over slowly and saw a little girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with emerald green hair, trying to crawl out of the factory at the mouth of the conveyor belt.

Seeing the little girl's appearance, Wu Xianxiao's heart moved, but he didn't do much. He just bent down to the conveyor belt and put his head as close to the little girl as possible, and whispered, "Goudan?"

The little girl's body stiffened, and she turned around and jumped up suddenly, bumping her forehead into Wu Xunxun's, and at the same time wanted to jump up and bite him.

This scene naturally alarmed some "employees", and two of them walked over to this location. Wu Xianxiao covered his forehead and said, "Jiujiu, why did you come in? And why are you here too?"

Wu Xianxiao naturally knew who this was.

The spiritual bird chirped, but no one expected why she followed in and turned into a human at the same time...

Jiujiu looked at Wu Xianxiao with tearful eyes, and then looked at the approaching "employees" with horror. Then she did one thing... She stopped struggling and followed those dull humans to the next procedure on the conveyor belt, as if she didn't know Wu Xianxiao at all.

Wu Xianxiao shook his head. He walked up to one of the two "employees" who had arrived, looked at the steel fork in its hand, reached out and cut its throat and spine. Then, before the other "employee" could react, he stepped in front of him and smiled at him.

"What are you thinking about, Goudan... No, Chirp."
