Eternal Night

Chapter 342 Dilemma and Space

Dong Ting...

There was indeed such a person in Wu Xianxiao's memory. He was the person he met when he entered a weekend, and it was also the weekend scene where he obtained the coordinates of this lost dream world.

So when this voice appeared, Wu Xianxiao had many thoughts in his mind, but at the moment he was in the super brain world, and his attention was concentrated. Even though he had many thoughts in his mind, he was calm at this moment, and just continued to punch towards the darkness.

In the super brain world, he can see many things clearly, including the nature of this darkness.

This was not simply darkness, but a mixture of many horrific things. When his fist touched the darkness, the premonition of danger he had felt before reappeared, and at the same time, the darkness itself was judged to be a hostile target.

Within five steps!

After throwing a punch, Wu Xianxiao felt more things because of the extremely slow speed of the super brain world.

This punch seemed to be only a physical attack, but the moment the punch was thrown, he felt a certain annihilation effect. It was clearly darkness, but it was annihilated and dissipated piece by piece under his fist, and what burst out after the darkness was annihilated was light. But this was not just light. Wu Xianxiao saw clearly in the super brain world that when the darkness was annihilated, those horrible things hidden in the darkness began to spontaneously combust. This light was actually the flames when these horrible things spontaneously combusted!
While others saw that Wu Xianxiao just stood in front of the surging darkness and threw a punch, and then a bright white light immediately flashed in front of them. Everyone closed their eyes immediately, even through their eyelids they could still feel the glare of the light, and everyone's heart was in their throat. When the light dissipated, everyone immediately opened their eyes and looked at the others at the same time, and then they all looked at Wu Xianxiao at the same time.

"No problem, eight people. The light is coming from the extinguished darkness. It is in front of us and on our left and right. Although the shadow is very faint, it does exist." Wu Xianxiao said immediately.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then they frowned at the same time.

Because the newly formed gray space in front of them is like two boundaries with the gray space they are in. The illumination between them is indeed different, and the gray space behind them appears brighter.

"The worst case scenario has occurred. The brightness of the existing gray space will be superimposed as the darkness is broken."

Chu Yuyan compared the brightness of the two with a serious expression. He said, "If the brightness of the newly created gray space is set to one, and the brightness of the superimposed gray space is set to two, according to our current shadow depth, three to four brightnesses will form a shadowless range. The light source we carry is too weak. Unless it is a strong light source, it is not enough to form a shadow in the gray space of three to four brightnesses..."

The man with the dual title said, "But aren't we exploring forward? As long as the brightness of the newly appeared gray space remains at the same level, it won't be a hindrance to us, right?"

This was also the question in the minds of several people. Chu Yuyan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Before he could speak, Wang Yihui said beside him: "No, this is not a simple question of moving forward, but a question of geometric superposition. Although we are always exploring forward, we are facing a plane, or even a three-dimensional space, rather than a simple straight line forward. This means that when we arbitrarily 'open the map', it is very likely that multiple layers of superimposed gray space will be generated to block our way forward or retreat, which is equivalent to trapping ourselves in a dead end and desperate situation."

Seeing that everyone still didn't quite understand, Wang Yihui continued, "Do you know the game Snake? It's an old pixel game where a snake keeps eating pixels. After eating a pixel, it will break into pieces, and then the game will fail if it hits a wall or its own body. It sounds simple, just eat pixels, but it is very difficult, because as the snake gets longer and longer, the space gets smaller and smaller, and in the end it will be very easy to hit its own body, and then the game will end... The problem we have to face here is the same. As long as we don't know the exact size of this place, the terrain, and the area that needs to be explored, and we blindly move forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, we will become a snake..."

"The bright gray area keeps accumulating behind us until we run into ourselves. Bang! General, we are in a desperate situation. There is no way to escape!"

Everyone was stunned. At this time, the green-headed fly on Wu Xianxiao's waist said, "Not entirely. First of all, we don't know the limit of darkness swallowing gray space. If gray spaces of different brightness are swallowed and covered at the same rate, then the gray space behind us is not enough for us to become a swallowing snake. At most, we can keep circling forward, or hide in a building and wait for darkness to swallow and cover. But if the brightness of the gray space is higher, the speed of being swallowed by darkness will be slower. Even when the brightness of the gray space reaches a certain limit, darkness will not be able to swallow it. This may form a swallowing snake dilemma..."

"In fact, it is very simple to verify. We just need to wait for the darkness to swallow us. Even if it is a high-brightness gray space, as long as it is not absolutely impossible to swallow, we can still slowly wait for it to be swallowed by the darkness again. The problem here is not the snake-eating dilemma itself, but another limitation... time!"

Chu Yuyan and Wang Yihui both had serious expressions and nodded. After the others thought about it for a moment, they roughly understood what the green-headed big fly meant.

This Zero Point Three Dream world is full of all kinds of strange and dangerous rules, shadows, monsters in the double space, surging darkness, gray light sources... None of the things we have encountered now are normal, not to mention the three giant things outside that look like fingers, and what exactly is this space deep inside them, buildings with no people or objects, and dead silent streets...

"And...I just heard a voice."

A new strangeness was brought up by Wu Xianxiao. He briefly explained the origin of the mark of the zero o'clock three dream world and the man named Dong Ting he encountered that weekend.

"Just now, I used the Super Brain World, and I heard a voice calling for help. It called itself Dong Ting."

The two wise men and Wu Xianxiao's new external brain Beelzebub all fell silent. They had thought about the difficulties and complexities of the Zero Point Three Dream World, but they had never expected it to be this difficult and complex.

There are all kinds of seemingly plausible rules and strange things, but there is not a single real clue.

Chu Yuyan, Wang Yihui, and Beelzebub were all silent for a while, each of them thinking about something. After a moment, Beelzebub spoke the fastest: "My advice is not to give any response. As I said before, this is the Zero O'clock Three Dream World, and it is also a Lost Dream World. It is not surprising that anything strange happens. It may be the Dong Ting you met on the weekend, or it may be some strange horror, or a new lethal rule. Once you respond, the consequences are unpredictable."

Chu Yuyan said, "Yes, I agree with this suggestion. At present, we are not in a desperate situation yet, and we can continue to explore. Although the light sources in the gray space will be superimposed, it is unknown whether there is an upper limit to the superposition and whether it will be swallowed up by the darkness again. So our current task is to continue to explore, find clues, and investigate the truth of this world. If we are lucky, we can build a shelter before the crisis breaks out."

Wang Yihui also said immediately: "Our goal is just to establish a shelter and use it as a springboard to go to the weekend. This world is not the target we must conquer."

Since the three wise men all suggested this, Wu Xianxiao naturally followed their arrangements and continued to walk at the front and stepped into the newly appeared gray space. The others followed closely behind and moved forward.

After exploring another 500 meters ahead, the buildings began to become sparse, no longer as dense as before. At the same time, the shape and size of the buildings also changed greatly. This change made everyone excited. They began to search for the buildings in this area and found that most of these buildings had their doors closed.

But this place is different from the residential area. The buildings in the residential area are all the same, and most of them have closed doors. After everyone tried and failed to push the doors open, they naturally gave up. But there might be gains in every building here, so it is impossible to give up on any building. After Wu Xianxiao tried to push the door to no avail, he tried to attack the wall lightly and found that the entire building was a whole. Breaking a wall meant the collapse of the entire building. He could only leave the task of breaking in to the others.

The first one to try it was Aunt Emma. Her extraordinary system was Druid. She was seen stretching her hand towards the wall and chanting a spell. When the green light sprinkled on the wall, she stretched out her hand and pushed the wall, but the wall remained motionless.

"…It's not possible to turn fossils into mud."

Aunt Emma shook her head and changed the spell. After casting the spell, she reached out to the wall again, but the wall still did not respond.

"No, the wall-walking technique doesn't work either."

Wang Yihui stepped forward and said, "Let me try it. My extraordinary system is in the category of superpowers, called the Operation Fruit, which can cut and change the space centered on me to a certain extent."

Chu Yuyan was about to say something, but he stopped talking. At this time, Beelzebub on Wu Xianxiao's waist said, "What are you standing there for? Stand next to him."

"why?"

Wu Xianxiao asked with a frown, but still stood beside Wang Yihui obediently.

Wang Yihui glanced at Wu Xianxiao, then he stretched out his hand towards the wall and said, "ROOM!"

A smooth cut appeared on the wall, and then a circle with a diameter of two meters appeared on the wall. The interior space of the building immediately appeared in front of everyone. Not only were there furniture and utensils, but everyone even saw something that looked like paper.

Everyone's eyes lit up, but the next moment Wu Xianxiao took a sudden step and stood in front of Wang Yihui.

A large number of limbs, arms, and organs actually stretched out from the circle, entangled and embedded with each other, turning into indescribable flesh and blood tissue that poured out of the hole towards the crowd. At the very front, there was a twisted human head embedded with fingers, internal organs, and several eyeballs, which rushed out with a loud shout.

"It's me, Dong Ting, it's me, Dong Ting, it's me, Dong Ting..."

“Save me, save me, save me…”

Human heads rushed out with endless flesh and blood behind them, and the first to be hit were Wu Xianxiao and Wang Yihui behind him!
