Eternal Night

Chapter 403 Five colors cover the eyes
Wu Xianxiao is very satisfied with this world.

Putting aside the dream worlds of 0.7 and above, the dream worlds of 0.6 that he had experienced were almost all worldviews of despair and doomsday, where one was either struggling on the line between life and death (the super soldier worldview), or being enslaved and unable to live or die (the Buddha's reverse worldview), or the repetitive doomsday continued to strike (the Castlevania worldview).

This 0.5 dream world is obviously normal and much better.

Wu Xianxiao has been in this dream world for two days and two nights. During this period, he has been wandering around the urban area and the rural areas outside the city, and has come into contact with people of many classes, from farmers and peasant women outside the city, to the poor in the slums on the edge of the city, civilians making a living in the city, to the planetary defense force, star army, planetary security committee... and so on in the core urban area.

Relying on the super brain's emotional perception, cognitive modification, perception modification and other passive and active abilities, Wu Xianxiao can travel freely to almost all areas and learn more about the world from almost all classes.

This is an extremely vast world, and it truly deserves the name of the big world.

The human beings in this world are extremely prosperous and have colonized almost half of the Milky Way. Even humans themselves don't know exactly how many planets they have colonized. In short, there are at least millions of planets where people can survive and reproduce, and the number of all humans combined is too large to be counted.

In terms of time, humans have already spent tens of thousands of years in this galaxy. The 21st century is a word so distant that these humans simply don't know or understand it.

Of course, after all, it was just emotional perception, not a real conversation between each other. Wu Xianxiao was looking for the most core figures at the highest level in the city, and they had enough understanding of this world.

For example, the Earth in this world was renamed Terra, and it is still the political and cultural core of all mankind.

For another example, the humans in this world seem to have deified the supreme leader of human civilization, calling him the Emperor. All the people he perceives regard the Emperor as a god. He is not just an idol myth of a great man, but a true omnipotent god who not only has omnipotent abilities, but can also take away the souls of all devout humans after their death.

They even exaggeratedly believed that the Emperor had lived for more than ten thousand years, or even longer.

"Is it the myth of the ruling class that fools us?" Wu Xianxiao confirmed clearly.

Beelzebub also said: "If they really rule millions or even tens of millions of planets and govern countless people, then it is understandable that the highest ruling class deifies itself and uses religion to gather the centripetal force of human civilization. This is actually not outrageous."

Wu Xianxiao naturally nodded.

He had no idea about the ruling class of this world. The galaxy was so big, and this was undoubtedly the biggest dream world he had ever encountered. He could just find a few human planets to set up shelters. The technology of this world, the vast scope of this world, and the possible mineral resources in this world could all be fed back to Gaia humans.

To be on the safe side, after touring the city and its surroundings, Wu Xianxiao went to the city core and specifically looked for those officials with guards. By changing their cognition and memory, he chatted with them for a while and repeatedly confirmed the situation of this world.

This time, because of the conversation and the answers to the questions, he had a deeper understanding of the world.

The Human Empire's rule over the Milky Way does not seem to be solid. According to some of them, the entire Milky Way is filled with wars, and it seems that many alien races are besieging humans. At the same time, there are traitors in human civilization. These traitors have established their own factions, believe in evil gods, kill countless people, and commit many evil deeds. The most important thing is that they deny the sanctity of the Emperor, believing that the Emperor is a false emperor and a false god. This is the greatest evil, and the Human Empire will fight them to the death.

but……

These seem to be no problem to Wu Xianxiao, right?

Not to mention the scale of the millions of planets in the entire Milky Way, even in a territory as small as the Earth, there are countless ambitious people. From the origin of human history to the 21st century when Wu Xianxiao is asleep, human history is a huge history of wars. You kill me, I kill you, and it never stops. If it expands to the scope of the entire Milky Way, Wu Xianxiao would feel creepy if there was no rebellion or war. This is definitely a stamp of thought, right?
"It's just a war, there's nothing wrong with that. As for rebellion or something, if they are unwilling to be ruled by a religious leadership, whether it's a peasant uprising or something else, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that."

Wu Xianxiao thought with relief.

As for the weird, terrifying, polluting properties, or higher-level worlds and spaces, Wu Xianxiao also asked all of them, but these people knew nothing about it. These things did not exist in their emotions and memories. The most they knew were religious heresies, demons, and so on, but even these conscious thoughts were very weak, almost like hearsay, or scary chapters in religious texts.

"…This world may be better than expected."

Wu Xianxiao brought the three little animals to a restaurant in the outer city. He ordered a few side dishes and a bottle of wine that was unique to this world. He was satisfied while eating and said, "Let's inspect it for another two days. If there are no problems, we'll build a first-level shelter in this world."

Chirp, Daphne was eating food. The food cooking in this world was not that outstanding, but the ingredients were fresh, and they were all alien ingredients they had never eaten before. They tasted unique, and the two little animals immediately became foodies.

Beelzebub said while eating, "I always feel something is odd... Although I have lost many memories and my knowledge of the origins is not enough, you were pulled here by two origins, and this is also a 0.5 dream world. As a result, everything you see is normal, not to mention weirdness, origins, pollution, etc., even if the world is really as huge as a galaxy, it still makes me feel very strange and weird."

Wu Xianxiao nodded slightly upon hearing this. He said seriously, "Yes, I have the same feeling. Since I came to this world, my sixth sense and martial arts intuition have all made me feel relaxed and carefree. There are all kinds of peace and tranquility, and all kinds of good times. Even from the mouths of these colonial officials, I only know that the entire galaxy is full of wars, and there is nothing else. How should I put it? This world is too good to be true."

Beelzebub asked, “And will you still set up a sanctuary?”

Wu Xianxiao hesitated for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we should investigate further? After hearing what you said, I feel uneasy, but I can't find the source of this uneasy feeling. Maybe we are overthinking it? After all, what is pulling me are two root existences, or two different manifestations of one root. Maybe this world happens to be an accidental combination of multiple root existences, thus achieving a certain balance of pollution, which presents a peaceful worldview?"

Beelzebub couldn't explain it, and in the end she could only suggest taking another look and confirming the situation.

On the other hand, as Wu Xianxiao continued to visit and inquire in this world, using his super brain abilities to investigate various information, his traces inevitably remained in this world.

Although the super brain can perceive emotions and modify cognition and memory, this is a high-tech world after all. In addition to humans, there are many other creations or "life-like things" that can leave information records.

Kesiya returned from the lower nest with his guards, expressionless.

This was already her tenth day of exploring this paradise world, but she had found nothing.

As an Inquisitor born in the half-new Demonic Inquisition who has served the Emperor for twenty years longer, Caesia is not a very famous legendary Inquisitor or elite Inquisitor, but she also has her own area of ​​judgment that she is good at, which is her psychic ability.

She is a beta-level psyker, a legal psyker, and a psychic psyker who has undergone extensive training in the Inquisition. Her psychic abilities can modify the senses and cognition of surrounding life, and can allow her to see through illusions and fuzzy mental perceptions, etc. This makes her cognitive memory extremely strong and not easily disturbed or blurred by subspace information. She can also easily break into the enemy camp when conducting reconnaissance. Even when she pointed the plasma pistol at the foreheads of the cultists, they often didn't even react.

This time, in her investigation of the paradise world, she also used her own psychic abilities. The stormtroopers she brought with her followed all the way, but they did not arouse any vigilance from the ruling committee. These were all her abilities.

In fact, she did find some problems, such as the fact that the emperor on this planet was not devout, because this was a paradise planet, a resort for many surrounding hives, fortress worlds, industrial worlds, etc., and the laws and rules of this world were determined by many surrounding world governors and powerful figures. They preserved the ancient style of this world, and these dignitaries came here to experience the relaxed atmosphere, so the natives on this planet seemed naive and innocent, and had no idea of ​​the cruelty of this world, and even did not have a devout faith in the emperor who protected their lives and souls. But this was only a small problem after all.

Kesiya personally investigated twenty-eight villages and thirteen churches and confirmed that there was indeed no pollution or corruption. It was simply that the fools were not devout enough in their faith. The problem was not serious enough for her to deal with, and there was no need to reward these people with a bolt gun or a laser beam.

As for other problems, there was corruption, inaction, and even the stationed planetary army and interstellar army were extremely slack. In addition, the dignitaries or governor's family members who came to this world for vacation also committed many illegal and disorderly acts, such as neglecting many contraband, drugs, or lewd balls, secret societies, etc. She also investigated them all.

Unfortunately, these are only minor issues, and do not involve any demon summoning, corruption of the four evil gods, or even the slightest breath of the subspace.

This paradise world is so clean!
And that in itself is a big problem!

Kesiya said to the one-eyed officer beside him: "The Emperor told me that this world is full of filth. Of course, I am not a member of the fanatics. I understand that this world can accommodate some insignificant filth, such as the filth in people's hearts, as long as they still believe in the Emperor devoutly. Tell me, Tai Qilong, have you ever seen such a clean world?"

Tai Qilong was silent for a moment and said, "No, except for the two shrine worlds I have been to, all other worlds have various subspace problems. It's not just the lower class people, but the powerful and wealthy are more polluted."

"Yes!"

Kaisiya narrowed his eyes and said, "My intuition tells me that there is something wrong with this world, a big problem... But I can't find the problem. This is the most terrifying problem. A big conspiracy is brewing in this world, and I am completely unaware of it... Let's go back to the cruiser. I need the Star Language Master to pass on information for me!"

Tai Qilong immediately ordered the soldiers to operate the Thunder Eagle gunboat and prepare to fly away from the airport.

All the stormtroopers were immediately fully armed and ready to fight to the death, even Kessia and Taichilon behaved the same way.

Because they all knew that the moment Kaisiya made the decision, it meant that the filth, evil, and even demons hidden in this world would be exposed, and now was the last chance to prevent the secret from being leaked. Either kill them all or blow up the gunboat. Otherwise, once Kaisiya sought support, the secrets of this world would be revealed.

But the expected attack did not come, and everyone returned safely to the universe, and the Thunder Eagle gunboat flew back to Kessia's flagship, a medium-sized cruiser.

Tai Qilong accompanied Kaisiya to the Star Language Hall. He suddenly said, "Judge Kaisiya, your intuition has always been accurate in the past 20 years we have worked together, but could it be that we are overthinking this time? Perhaps this paradise world is really so clean?"

Kesiya stood in front of the Astropathic Hall in silence for a while, then she shook her head resolutely and said, "I know what you mean. Long-distance astropathic communication carries great uncertainty and interference. If you want to increase the accuracy of transmission, you must consume psychics and astropaths. These are precious resources and the currency of the Emperor. But the situation in this world makes me feel creepy. I must find out everything that happened here!"

Tai Qilong lowered his head slightly, indicating that he would obey Kesiya's orders.

The two of them quickly entered the astropathic hall. As the Inquisitor, Caesia possessed the highest authority on the entire cruiser. Under her command, thirteen psychics were quickly gathered together, and then the astropathic master personally performed long-range astropathic communication and sent information to her target.

When the thirteen psychics were burned to ashes and bones, and the Master of Astronomy collapsed to the ground exhausted, Kesiya's communication was soon responded to.

"Grand Inquisitor Anris Gus has received your request for support. He will evaluate the information you conveyed. Please be patient."

"The Demonic Inquisition Council has received your warning message and is currently reviewing it. Please be patient."

Kaisiya's eyebrows jumped as she listened to the response message. After confirming again and again that there was no other information, she said coldly, "Where are the nearest Grey Knights? Is there no Grey Knight patrolling troops in this nearby star field?"

No one responded, Master Star Language had completely fainted.

Kesiya left the Star Language Hall in silence. Her steps became heavier. A kind of warning based on the spiritual level was invading her, making her feel an immense sense of urgency.

"...How many psychics do we have left?" asked Kesiya.

Tai Qilong immediately said: "We just consumed thirteen psychics, and we still have twenty-one psychics."

"...If thirteen more people come, I will use that thing." Kesiya said decisively.

Taichilon did not stop anything. He followed the order and sent people to bring thirteen psychics. These thirteen psychics were all bound by holy objects. After coming in front of Kessia, they all knelt down and recited the Emperor's mantra.

With a solemn face, Kesiya took out a metal box from the holy relic cabinet. The metal box was engraved with holy words and there were thirteen groups of small holy relics sealed outside the metal box. As Kesiya removed the seals layer by layer, a thin layer of cold mist immediately rose in the entire cabin.

This is a sign of the Warp's aura invading the real world, and the drop in temperature is just its physical manifestation.

Kesiya silently picked up the thing in the box. It was a crystal eyeball, silver-white in color, the size of a fist. It was definitely not a human thing, and it might not even be the eyeball of any living thing.

In one hand, Kesiya held the Holy Skull, a relic of a devout nun from a shrine world, and in the other hand she picked up the crystal eyeball. Then her psychic power began to surge wildly. The thirteen psychics around her howled miserably, and psychic flames burned through their bodies from their eye sockets, burning their heads and internal organs, and quickly turning them into ashes and debris.

Suddenly, with a bang, the crystal eyeball in Kesiya's hand exploded directly, and her eyes rolled out with tears, and the holy skull in her hand also shattered into pieces.

The tears in Kesiya's eyes turned into tears of blood, but she did not faint. Instead, she shouted loudly: "I saw... four, no, five colors. They gathered on this planet. They did not fight. They were working together to form a layer of mist, covering, guiding, and confusing everything here. They... Ah, the Golden Throne is above..."

Kesiya fell into a coma. At the same time, the stormtroopers who stayed behind on the Thunderhawk gunship suddenly discovered that the servo skull that stayed behind seemed to have recorded something during the landing at the Paradise World Airport, but due to an unknown program error, it was not played until now.

It was a human with a bird, a dog, and a giant fly on his waist. He walked past a large group of Astra Militarum soldiers without paying attention to anyone else, and during this time...

No one noticed him!
Moreover, there were five colors flickering and floating on the screen, namely blood red, cobalt blue, rotten green, bright pink, and golden yellow. They were like five fingers covering the eyes of this young human.
