Eternal Night

Chapter 339 Light and Darkness

One punch, and everything becomes quiet.

Wu Xianxiao had no idea what attacked him. When the liquid-like darkness poured in, all the light sources in the house immediately shrank by more than 90%. Everything around him began to become dark. At the same time, Wu Xianxiao had a premonition of danger. There was something in the darkness that was enough to threaten his life!
Almost instinctively, Wu Xianxiao swung his fist. The punch seemed weak and he didn't hit any entity at all. However, the darkness in front of him shattered and disappeared immediately. At the same time, there was a bright light in front of him, so bright that everyone couldn't even open their eyes.

The light came and went quickly, like a flash bomb, disappearing quickly after a flash, and then what appeared in front of everyone was a gray city block, neither dark nor bright. At the same time, no one knew where the light came from, and only a thousand meters away was there a darkness like surging liquid.

"What did you hit?"

Wu Xianxiao looked at his fist in confusion. Before he could figure out what was going on, a scream suddenly came from behind him.

There were three bodies lying on the ground, their bodies were covered with scars and gaps, from head to toe, not a single part was intact. In some places, only the skin was damaged, while in others, large chunks of flesh were missing. The clothes they were wearing also had such damages.

All three of them howled miserably. Two men and one woman, they were all elite transcendents with a title. Logically speaking, even more serious injuries would not have caused them to lose their composure like this, but they did howl miserably. Then one of them died while howling, and then everyone gathered around to see their injuries.

"What happened? When were they attacked?" Gao Changgong squatted beside the three people and asked anxiously.

The others all shook their heads. At this time, Wu Xianxiao frowned and said, "Just now... were there only seven of us?"

Everyone was shocked. They hadn't noticed it at all before Wu Xianxiao said it, but once Wu Xianxiao revealed it, they suddenly realized that there were only seven people in their team?
At this time, one of the two people with two titles, a middle-aged woman, silently placed her hands on the two people who fell to the ground, and a green light particle was transmitted from her arm to the surface of the two people's bodies.

The screams of the two men subsided a little, but the face of the middle-aged woman changed drastically. She gritted her teeth and let go of the arm of one of them, and instead placed her arms on the other, sending green light particles to him with all her strength.

Everyone's expression changed. Wu Xianxiao was about to ask a question, but Chu Yuyan reached out to stop him.

After no more than ten seconds, the person who was abandoned also stopped breathing, leaving only the last person whose howling turned into muffled groans, and then his voice gradually stopped, but the whole person had fainted.

The middle-aged woman sighed and stood up, saying, "My daily healing spell has its limits. I have used it all now, and can only heal to this extent... His life has been saved, but he will definitely remain unconscious today. There is nothing I can do."

Everyone looked at her. She naturally knew the reason, because she chose to give up the life of one of them. No matter what the reason was, her behavior was the most taboo when the team faced an unknown dangerous situation.

So the middle-aged woman took out a dagger from her bosom and stabbed the dead man directly. She was not afraid and directly tore open his chest. Everyone looked over hurriedly and were all shocked.

One fifth of the dead person's heart was missing, but the blood vessels and diaphragm connected to the heart were still intact.

Wang Yihui was squatting next to another corpse. He immediately reached out and touched one of the corpses and said, "ROOM!"

In an instant, the corpse was cut into several pieces, but the amazing thing was that no blood or flesh was spilled from the slices. It was like a specimen, and the cut parts were as smooth as a mirror.

When Wu Xianxiao looked at Wang Yihui's extraordinary power, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch again.

Everyone was startled when they saw this, but this was not the time to ask Wang Yihui about his extraordinary abilities. They immediately looked at the slices and saw that many parts of the man's body had disappeared, but the surrounding areas were intact, especially a piece of his brain stem was missing, so he howled a few times and died quickly.

Chu Yuyan immediately said, "Aunt Emma, ​​you did the right thing! He was already beyond saving, but you saved the remaining person!"

The middle-aged woman nodded silently and stood aside.

Chu Yuyan looked at Wu Xianxiao again and said, "Wu Xianxiao, didn't you realize that there are only seven of us?"

Wu Xianxiao naturally didn't think that Chu Yuyan was attacking him, but as a super brain, he didn't notice that three people were missing, which was a bad thing.

He nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't notice it just now. It was not until they showed up that I remembered that there were ten of us in total, and three of them just disappeared."

"Antimemetic effects."

Chu Yuyan, Wang Yihui, and Gao Changgong spoke at the same time, and the faces of the three of them all looked very ugly.

Chu Yuyan immediately said, "After the three of them disappeared, we all lost our memories of them. Wu Xianxiao's resistance to anti-memes is the strongest among us, so he can react the fastest, but he can't know when they disappear... The question now is, were they attacked? Or did they trigger some rules? Why did they disappear? Why did they appear?"

The green-headed big fly suddenly said: "Darkness and light."

Wang Yihui nodded immediately: "Yes, the appearance must be related to the light..." Everyone stared at Wu Xianxiao's waist. At the same time, the confusion index in the corner of Wu Xianxiao's eyes soared to more than one hundred.

The green-headed big fly didn't care about their reactions at all and said directly: "The name of this lost world is 'The Sixth Layer Shadow Palace of the Primordial Demon Prison', right? The word Shadow Palace is its symbol. Everyone, think carefully about what you did after you came in just now?"

Everyone put aside the strangeness in their hearts for the moment. Now that they were all in danger, it was impossible for them to delve into the details of a fly the size of a fist talking.

Chu Yuyan immediately said: "The three of us, Wang Yihui, Wu Xianxiao, are looking out the window to confirm the worldview model of this lost world."

Hao Cheng raised his hand and said, "The two of them and I are using instruments to test the composition of the dust."

Hao Cheng pointed at the dead person on the ground and the unconscious and seriously injured person.

Gao Changgong said, "The rest of us are searching the entire room, including traces of furniture, the structure of the room, and whether there are any hidden words or patterns that carry information."

Everyone frowned, because the three missing people were divided into two teams, and it was obviously impossible for them to do the same thing. This was very strange.

Just as everyone was thinking hard, the green-headed big fly suddenly said, "No, except Wu Xianxiao, you all did the same thing."

Chu Yuyan and Wang Yihui's eyes lit up at the same time, and Chu Yuyan immediately said: "Yes! Bring out the light source!"

Yes, when they entered this world, it was pitch black around them. Apart from the blood-red thunder outside the window, there was not a single bit of light. So except for Wu Xianxiao who went to the window first, everyone else took out a light source from their personal space, a kind of gelatinous crystal condensed from organic biological structures, which could emit light if it was tapped hard.

Without a light source, they couldn't see anything here clearly, and to search the room and detect dust, they naturally needed a light source.

Wang Yihui also said immediately: "Yes! The light source, from the time they appeared, Angkor attacked the unknown target, causing a violent flash, and then they reappeared in the team from the disappeared state... Shadow! They have shadows again, so they appeared!"

When the violent flash appeared, the light was flashing outside the gate, and everyone was facing the flash directly, so a very obvious shadow appeared behind them. It was when this shadow was created by the flash that the three disappeared people reappeared.

Chu Yuyan also said immediately: "So based on this inference, their shadows disappeared, so the people also disappeared... In the detection and search process just now, because of the mutual contrast of multiple light sources, a shadowless space was formed within a certain range, so their shadows disappeared at that moment..."

Everyone looked at the light source in their hands.

This is material specially prepared for exploring dark places. In the 29th century in the Land of Redemption, scientists used organisms to create bio-pseudo-structures. This is a diffuse cold light that looks soft, but its diffusion direction is omnidirectional. In order to avoid exploring blind spots as much as possible, its lighting can be superimposed to form a shadowless lamp environment with no dark blind spots, similar to that in an operating room. If multiple light sources are present, a large shadowless area can indeed be produced.

For a moment, everyone was frightened.

Two people died as soon as they came in. Both of them were elite transcendents with titles, and they didn't even put up an even a little resistance. If Wu Xianxiao hadn't punched out a flash of inexplicable origin, they would probably have disappeared completely without being noticed, and died silently.

As for the rest of the people, except Wu Xianxiao, I'm afraid that the others survived only by luck, otherwise any one of them would have died in this rule-based killing.

Wu Xianxiao looked at the gray outside and said, "Since the darkness was broken just now, the outside has been in this gray state. It seems that there is light everywhere, and I can't tell whether there are any shadows."

The other tall man with two titles said in a muffled voice: "Let me try!"

After saying that, he walked out of the door directly. In an instant, he disappeared outside the gate. Except for Wu Xianxiao who kept staring at the gate, the others began to look around. Wang Yihui even said, "It seems that we should test whether the environment outside can create a shadowless space."

Wu Xianxiao was about to rush out of the gate to see if he could rescue the tall man by creating a shadow, when he suddenly appeared in the team. He looked unharmed, but his face looked very ugly.

Everyone was startled, and they recalled the scene of the man rushing out of the house. The man smiled bitterly and said, "My title ability can be activated once every 24 hours, allowing me to return to the state and position five seconds ago. Did I disappear just now?"

Chu Yuyan immediately asked: "Yes, you disappeared, but did you see the scene after you disappeared!?"

"I saw it..."

The man shuddered and said, "Countless twisted people were crowded on the street, in the room, and in all the surrounding space. I suddenly appeared in the middle of them... literally in the middle. Part of them was in me, and part of me was in them. Then they began to attack me, bite me, and devour me..."

"This is the reason why the two of them died. Their organs and brains were embedded in those things and then devoured!"
