Eternal Night

Chapter 543 Box Garden
Wu Pifu discovered a key point!

As he killed all the inhuman beings on that floor of the laboratory, not only was his body recovering from the false damage, but he also exhibited a distorted state in response to his surroundings.

To put it simply, a different world unfolded within about ten centimeters of him.

Ten centimeters away is a brand-new experimental building with people and things, while within ten centimeters is an empty, abandoned building. It seems to have become a spatial distortion node, tearing the landscapes of two different worlds apart.

In other words, his idea was correct: just kill all these inhuman beings here.

As for whether this is an illusion or another space truly exists, he doesn't need to know. As long as he keeps killing, whether there is a mastermind behind it all or he can obtain more information, these things will naturally come to light.

In short... just go for it. They're all inhuman creatures anyway, so you can just rush in and kill them all without any repercussions.

(No, that's not what I think. I should have a serious talk with them; what if they have their own difficulties?)

(...But what if there are good people among them? In order to kill most of the bad guys, do I have to kill the good guys too?)
(And without order, isn't that the most terrifying thing for the majority of ordinary people?)

(Is it really right of me to kill without burying?)
These thoughts and ideas kept popping into Wu Pifu's mind, which only made him smile sarcastically.

"Heh, if you're going to understand the suffering of non-humans, then who will understand the suffering of humans?"

"What if he's a good person? What kind of good person is he if he hangs out with these kinds of people? If you insist on talking about some kind of hardship or some kind of unavoidable situation, then this is perfect, let's help him and these inhuman beings get rid of their suffering."

"You think this thing used as resources is called... order? Hahaha, you may have lost your homes and lives, but you've gained freedom, haven't you!?"

"If I had enough time, I would definitely kill them all and hang them on telephone poles. Would that count as burying them?"

Wu Pifu's heart is as hard as diamond. If Wu Pifu, who had just awakened from a long hibernation and had just entered the dream world, still retained many remnants of his past personality iterations and was still impure, then now, after experiencing so many life-and-death situations and so many trials, he has washed away the dust and impurities, and his heart and mind are as pure as diamond.

Of course... this isn't very friendly to non-humans.

At this point, he ignored the thoughts that were clearly not his own and simply continued the massacre on each floor, killing his way down. The deeper he went, the more cruel and dark the research in this experimental area became, from extracting and retrieving the image of the heart to turning it into a magic potion, to the mixed retrieval of the collective subconscious in the secret experimental area below, and then to the even more extreme and dark extraction of the image of the heart through artificial stimulation.

"...Customized potion test."

"...After billions of salvage and extraction attempts, we discovered that the formation of potions follows three principles: first, the resilience of the spiritual consciousness of the intelligent life form that carries the potion; second, the total intensity of accumulated negative effects; and third, the model of the mind's image."

"...We cannot change the resilience of the intellectual life spirit and consciousness, or rather, the cost of changing it is too great and the cost-effectiveness is too low, but the total intensity of the negative and the appearance of the mind can be artificially changed."

"...After skinning a person, they are immersed in a nutrient solution, and a continuous electric current is applied to stimulate their pain nerves for approximately six minutes and twelve seconds per hour, with random intervals, for six days, twelve days, twenty-four days... In comparison of test groups, the increase in the total negative intensity shows a slow growth effect. Records show that the negative limit for ordinary people is eleven days, and a very few can reach fifteen days..."

"...personality breakdown, in the process of new personality reconstruction..."

"...A dramatic change occurred; data from Experiment Group Six was deleted, and it is speculated that..."

Along the way, Wu Pifu not only killed those non-humans, but also obtained a lot of textual information that could be viewed. The combination of these textual information quietly brought his exploration level to 26%.

The above records almost entirely of these inhuman performance art pieces, including all sorts of cruel and incomprehensible experiments.

They used experiments more horrific than torture to torment as many innocent people as possible, completely destroying them both physically and mentally. In terms of the number of experiments, it wasn't just a matter of a few or dozens of subjects, but rather the results of comparative experiments involving hundreds or thousands of subjects each time.

Peeling skin was the least painful part of the experiment. Even Wu Pifu, whose spirit was strong enough, felt horrified when he saw it, and his anger erupted like a volcano.

Skinning is nothing. To maximize human suffering and amplify its negative effects as much as possible, they even completely stripped away human nerves in experiments in several lower areas. These "people," left with only their nerves intact, were immersed in a nutrient solution. Then, they used electronic signals to simulate various extremely terrifying tortures or nightmares. These nerves couldn't even struggle or tremble; they simply "lived" continuously in the nutrient solution...

Their purpose was simply to obtain so-called "magic potions" from these poor people.

So Wu Pifu was right from the start; all the staff here are non-human.

They were definitely not human; they were just some kind of monsters wearing human skin and imitating human behavior! Wu Pifu fought his way to the bottom and then began to destroy the entire experimental area from there, layer by layer, killing all the non-humans and freeing all the test subjects who were living in pain. He couldn't save them, he could only let them be freed as painlessly as possible...

When Wu Pifu had destroyed most of the experimental area and was about to reach the ground, the tearing areas between the two different scenes on his body had reached a diameter of five meters. Every floor he destroyed showed signs of absolute destruction in both worlds. At the same time, he also discovered that in addition to destroying these non-human beings and laboratories, which would increase the diameter of the tearing areas, the higher the rate of the backflow when he activated the negative mental backflow, the larger the tearing areas became.

Just as he was about to completely destroy the entire experimental area, with three floors remaining to the top floor, Wu Pifu suddenly stopped the destruction and looked up at the ceiling of the experimental building.

There were still people remaining in the experimental zone. Staff, security personnel, and superhumans were panicking and trying to escape from the experimental zone. However, when they saw the two world-tearing areas on Wu Pifu's body, they immediately stopped all their movements and began to mutate into black sludge. They could no longer maintain their human form and didn't even need Wu Pifu to deliberately attack them.

But when Wu Pifu looked up at the ceiling, the mud that could not maintain its human form slowly began to wriggle and transform into a human shape once again. At the same time, the torn area on Wu Pifu's body was slowly shrinking, from a diameter of five meters to about a diameter of one meter.

Something... is coming!
The next instant, Wu Pifu suddenly appeared above the experimental building. Some kind of force swapped the space where he was originally located with the space in mid-air, and then he saw a young man looking down at him from the air.

"...This is truly rare; an ultimate Hollowfied form that hasn't appeared in a long time."

"...It's perfect for my collection."

As the young man spoke, he extended his palm. In the blink of an eye, Wu Pifu felt the entire world rapidly expanding. The dilapidated experimental area on the ground transformed into the size of a colossal building, while the young man before him grew into a small mountain. He appeared in the young man's palm, enveloped by a rhombus-shaped crystal. Gradually, the young man grew larger, and the world expanded. Even the five fingers of his palm seemed as towering and enormous as pillars supporting the sky. He could no longer see anything around him; everything was shrouded in mist.

As everything around him grew enormous, Wu Pifu, inside the rhombus-shaped crystal, felt his thoughts slow down. He was being "frozen," turning into a completely solidified specimen within the rhombus-shaped crystal.

"What is the use?"

Wu Pifu simply shook his head slightly, and then, without saying a word, activated the negative backflow rate of his mind.

"A negative backlash from the mind, 50%!"

In an instant, the torn area on his body, which had been suppressed to a mere few millimeters, expanded wildly. Upon contact with the rhomboid crystal, the crystal immediately vanished, while the torn area continued to spread rapidly—ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters…

The surrounding fog completely disappeared, the giant hand completely disappeared, the giant experimental area under their feet completely disappeared, and even the young man in front of them disappeared. Before the astonished expression on his face could even settle, it was covered by the rapidly expanding tearing area. Then the young man disappeared, and a Klein bottle made of flesh and blood appeared in front of Wu Pifu.

This is a Klein bottle in flux, a geometric form that would be impossible in a three-dimensional structure, yet it manifests itself in the constant evolution of this mass of flesh and blood.

"Lost contaminant discovered, target confirmed... Lost and sublimated spiritual civilization, existential lost contamination..."

"Annotation in progress... Annotation complete, target hazard level... Medium."

"In despair, the guardian of the miniature garden, the self-deceiving one, the key."

The next instant, Wu Pifu punched the surface of the flesh-and-blood Klein bottle. With that single punch, a quarter of the Klein bottle's structure collapsed and vanished into thin air. Immediately afterward, Wu Pifu was plunged into a flashback of memories...

"...The Light Chaser is dead, his soul has been thoroughly dissected, and we must move immediately."

"...All the information he left behind is recorded in his diary. I'll go get it! My sequence is spatial ability. As long as I'm careful, I'm the safest."

“...I am different from the Light Chasers. Even if you capture me, you cannot dissect my soul. It will only mean death, which is better than becoming your meal!”

"...No, impossible! The Courtyard of the Gods is actually a plan like this? No, this isn't what we've been investigating..."

"...I was wrong, we were wrong, what stupid things did we do? This was the perfect plan to save all of humanity, and we've been sabotaging it all along?"

"A miniature garden isolated from the world amidst pollution, an infinite cycle and perfect closed loop formed by the self-sacrifice of the three root causes—this is..."

"The Truth About the Garden of Gods!!"
