Eternal Night

Chapter 338 Fingers and Going Out

"...It seems that this prison is completely different from what we initially imagined." Someone sighed.

As the name suggests, before entering this 0.3 Lost Dream World, a lot of analysis and discussion was done on the words "Shadow Palace of the Sixth Layer of the Original Demon Prison".

At that time, it was generally believed that this was a place similar to a prison. Because it was a dream world at zero o'clock, it was very likely to have deviated from the logical scope of the real world. Therefore, there were all kinds of strange analyses, such as a prison with time as a cage, a prison with reversed cause and effect, and a world with only the concept of shadows.

Because of these analyses, Wu Xianxiao and others were actually always in a state of uncertainty, and were really afraid of falling into a world that was beyond their imagination.

When the results came, they found that they could see and hear, and there was matter all around them. Although it looked a little eerie and scary, there was no doubt that compared to those worlds with chaotic logic and unimaginable worlds, such a world made everyone feel at ease in an instant.

Wu Xianxiao walked to the window and looked out. Looking at the huge upright flesh pillars, the palm he encountered during the pseudo-human weekend flashed through his mind. The passive influence of that palm alone plunged the entire world into indescribable catastrophe and upheaval. At the same time, the lost coordinates were also obtained from that weekend.

"Does that look like a finger?" Wu Xianxiao asked the person behind him.

At this time, everyone was observing the room, but two people came to the window and looked out.

The world outside the window was pitch black. There was no sunlight, no stars, and no visible light source. The only light source was the occasional flash of blood-red thunder in the sky.

With the afterglow of the blood-red thunder, everyone could see a pitch-black earth. There were no buildings, no signs, plants, mountains, etc. The entire earth was covered in a thick darkness, and no one could see anything at all. There were only three things like pillars in the distance that pierced the end of the sky, and the end could not be seen at all.

The two people who came to Wu Xianxiao were Chu Yuyan and Wang Yihui. Wang Yihui asked first, "Why do you think it looks like a finger? Although it looks a little curved and bumpy, it looks more like a tower, right?"

Chu Yuyan also nodded and asked, "Is it because these coordinates were obtained from the pseudo-human weekend, and the pseudo-human weekend doomsday was caused by a hand, so you preconceived that the three huge buildings are like fingers, right?"

Wu Xianxiao himself began to lose confidence. After looking at the object in the distance for a few seconds, he nodded and said, "Indeed, I did think it was a finger. Judging from the size of the building, if it was a finger, it would be too thin and too far away..."

After hearing this, Chu Yuyan and Wang Yihui's expressions did not relax at all. They also looked out the window for a long time. Then Wang Yihui asked: "Wu Ge, can you tell me, besides your preconceived notions, how did you determine that the three huge buildings were fingers?"

Wu Xianxiao was planning to turn around and check the room. He was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Seeing the serious expressions of Wang Yihui and Chu Yuyan, he thought for a moment and said, "It should be instinct. After coming here, the red lightning flashed outside, and I saw the three huge objects, and then I instinctively thought they were fingers."

Wang Yihui and Chu Yuyan looked at each other, and both of them became cautious. Chu Yuyan said, "If you instinctively feel that it is a finger... then you might as well analyze it as a finger."

Wu Xianxiao said incredulously: "No, I was just daydreaming for a while, you don't have to take it so seriously, okay?"

Wang Yihui and Chu Yuyan shook their heads at the same time. Chu Yuyan said seriously, "You are already a super brain, so you should know that there are many incredible things about super brains. Even if you leave the super brain aside, with the emergence of the dream world and the birth of a large number of extraordinary people, some incredible things are subverting the logic of reality. For example, instinct, premonition, sixth sense, etc. are all real. You are now both a super brain that has awakened and a powerful extraordinary person. What you instinctively recognize is likely to be its essence."

Wang Yihui looked out the window and said, "If that is really a finger, then indeed, in terms of length and thickness, it is too thin. If we compare it with a human finger, it is only a few millimeters thick, but 50 to 60 centimeters long... This does not include the upper end and the dark part below. It feels too inconsistent."

Chu Yuyan shook his head slightly. He squatted down, took out paper and pen from his personal space, and at the same time took out a fist-sized crystal ball. He patted the crystal ball, and the crystal ball immediately emitted a soft white light.

He drew a human hand on the paper, with the five fingers spread out. He showed the paper to Wang Yihui and Wu Xianxiao and said, "This is the proportion and size of our human hand. Is it okay?"

Wang Yihui said affirmatively: "No problem, it is indeed manpower."

Wu Xianxiao exclaimed: "You are really good at sketching."

Chu Yuyan and Wang Yihui looked at him at the same time: "?"

Wu Xianxiao saw a number pop up in the corner of his eye. The number was twenty. Obviously, Chu Yuyan and Wang Yihui gave him ten points of confusion index respectively.

"You guys, keep talking." Wu Xianxiao smiled awkwardly. Chu Yuyan paused, then scribbled on the paper and said, "What if we change the thickness of our fingers to only a few millimeters, or even one millimeter?"

A five-finger concept diagram composed purely of lines appeared on the paper, with five lines drawn downwards, but the distance between the fingers did not change at all.

Wang Yihui looked at the hand pattern on the paper. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned his head to look out the window. As the red light kept flashing, he calculated the approximate position and distance of the three buildings in his mind. Then he turned to Chu Yuyan in shock and said, "...It's fingers! Those three are really fingers! It's just that the fingers have become thinner, very thin, but the length has not changed, and the distance between the fingers has not changed. If you expand the thickness, there is no doubt that we are in one of the fingers!!"

Wu Xianxiao was a little stunned. He asked, "What do you mean? I don't understand."

Chu Yuyan patiently explained, "We first determined that your instinct pointed directly to the essence. You thought that they were three fingers, so we used that as the basis for analysis. If we compare them with the size of our human palms, the length of our fingers, and the distance between our fingers, we found that as long as we thicken these three huge buildings, we can restore the approximate shape of a palm. The length and distance between them are consistent with the palm. The only difference is the thickness of the fingers."

Wu Xianxiao nodded repeatedly, then asked again: "So...what does this mean?"

Wang Yihui immediately said, "Brother Wu, if this is really a finger, it means that the original size of the owner of the finger is simply incredible. According to our current position, the spaciousness of this room, and the length and distance of the fingers, the owner of this finger and palm is probably the size of a planet!"

Chu Yuyan said with a serious expression: "Not only that, there is another very serious problem... Why did the fingers become thinner?"

Wang Yihui and Wu Xianxiao were both stunned, and both felt frightened.

A giant god as big as a planet, his fingers penetrated the darkness, and his true state was unknown. At the same time, his fingers became extremely slender... Is something devouring this giant god?
"...Could it be that this is what it looks like?" Wu Xianxiao gestured with his palms and said, "Like the Martians in science fiction works, don't they have big heads, big eyes, and long, thin fingers?"

Chu Yuyan and Wang Yihui both nodded cautiously.

"We can only assume this for now, but the thinning of the fingers may have other important meanings."

At this time, Gao Changgong came over and said, "I checked this room. There is no furniture, nor any visible words, patterns, daily necessities, or other creations that indicate their meaning."

A few seconds later, Hao Cheng also came over. He said in a rough voice: "I tested the dust. Because the functions of technological creations are limited, I can only detect some basic elements. However... I found organic matter in the dust!"

Everyone was suddenly filled with awe, and Wu Xianxiao immediately asked, "So there is life here?"

Hao Cheng nodded and said, "At least there was life there. The instruments cannot detect the exact time, and now we are not sure whether there are any signs of life."

Wu Xianxiao nodded. Everyone looked at him, and he said directly: "Okay, let's leave this house and investigate this place with me as the center. The primary target is threats, life, text, and any regular pattern records."

"We will establish a shelter in this world in the form of an organized force!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. These had already been discussed before entering, so naturally there were no objections. Wu Xianxiao walked in the front, followed closely by Hao Cheng, then Gao Changgong, Wang Yihui, and Chu Yuyan walked in the middle. The last two positions were occupied by two senior and powerful transcendents with two titles.

This room is about 150 square meters and has two small compartments, but there is no furniture or other objects in it. It is extremely empty, except for the door which is surprisingly intact. It is unknown what material the door is made of, neither gold, stone nor wood. Wu Xianxiao stretched out his hand to touch the door, and it was neither cold nor warm. He could not even feel the material and characteristics of the door, as if it was a fake door.

Wu Xianxiao pushed open the door immediately. The moment the door was opened, the vast darkness outside poured in.

The darkness was filled with a liquid-like texture. Wu Xianxiao was the first to be hit. He was instantly immersed in the darkness. Then he heard a lot of horrible groans, as if countless arms and claws were reaching out to him from the darkness.

The next moment, Wu Xianxiao threw a punch forward.
