Eternal Night

Chapter 605 The future?

The super brain's ability to perceive emotions is actually a passive ability. That is, when a person with a super brain changes from a latent state to an explicit state, the ability to perceive emotions will continue to function and will always exist.

This is similar to the five senses of humans. As long as you are a normal human being, you can always see, hear, and smell. Emotional perception is the external sensory system of the super brain.

However, the information efficiency obtained by this emotional perception ability is too great. The more powerful the super brain ability, the wider the coverage of emotional perception. If it is a special super brain like Chu Minghao who is currently invincible, as long as he does not block his emotional perception, its coverage can even be all of humanity... all of humanity within the solar system!
If this amount of information were translated to the average person's senses, it would be roughly equivalent to reading tens of millions of books, each with at least 100,000 words, in a single second. The key point is that these books are mostly the ramblings of madmen, with most of the text lacking even basic logical concepts, presenting completely incomprehensible gibberish and indescribable information.

If an ordinary person were to receive this kind of information, even for just 0.01 seconds, it would be enough to turn them into a mentally unstable idiot. Even a person with an overt superbrain would be unable to withstand such a massive bombardment of disordered information unless they immediately activated their superbrain world.

Even Chu Minghao, who is currently invincible with his special super brain, could not withstand it. Although his tolerance was definitely far beyond that of ordinary overt super brain users by many orders of magnitude, receiving this level of disordered information would still cause Chu Minghao to feel dizzy and even fall into a state of emotional collapse. To put it more simply... he would become depressed, or manic, or both, similar to the author of this book... cough.

In short, through the combined efforts of Chu Minghao and Liang Min, and by finding some fragments of information about the first generation of special superbrain, also known as the final producer, and through Liang Min's choice of an unchanging past outcome and Chu Minghao's invincible super-acceleration test in the present, the two of them created a set of cultivation techniques that were unique to humanity at the time, and perhaps the first truly extraordinary technique... although it did not contain any extraordinary power and was only applicable to the mind cultivation techniques of the overt superbrain.

Wu Pifu had practiced this mind-cultivation technique before, but it wasn't detected by the main brain, resulting in Wu Pifu's current passive state... something that specifically blocks the super brain's emotional perception, turning it from a passive to a near-active skill.

Since two negatives can equal a positive, then passive plus passive equals active, no problem!

Wu Pifu now plans to briefly adopt a passive emotional state.

He was just so incredibly curious!
As Wu Pifu dragged the mist cruiser to the vicinity of the island with his bare hands, all resistance and struggle had long since vanished. This was because, while dragging the cruiser, Wu Pifu casually threw a punch, and a mangled corpse, neither horse nor mule, appeared out of thin air. Only when this corpse appeared did all resistance and struggle disappear in an instant.

Then everyone looked at him with expressions of utter disbelief, far more exaggerated than when they saw that the electromagnetic weapon hadn't broken through his defenses.

"...Don't you know why we're so surprised?" the boy asked with an expression as if he'd seen a ghost and been fucked.

Wu Pifu watched as his "confusion index" continued to drop. Although the drop was not significant, it was clear that he had lost... no, he simply couldn't understand it anymore.

The boy, still with that expression of utter astonishment, said, "This thing is a nightmare, big brother! It's a nightmare that can only exist in dreams! It's a variant of a summon created by the blood-stained witch. It's not a real nightmare, but it's a near-membrane life form. You punched a near-membrane life form into a physical entity... No, big brother, is that for real?"

"What, what, what?"

Wu Pifu felt his neck and head becoming increasingly vulnerable. Ever since he heard about the Super Brain Glory Conference, he felt that his current 300,000+ "Brain-Blowing Index" was not secure at all.

Everyone was looking at each other, including the teenagers and the more than one hundred people who had disembarked from the ship.

The people on the boat looked at each other for a few seconds before a middle-aged man stepped forward and asked, "You... don't know about the Nightmare?"

Wu Pifu frowned and said, "I do know what a nightmare is, but a dream demon... a monster in the dream world?"

Upon hearing the word "nightmare," everyone present paled. However, seeing that Wu Pifu's physical form remained unchanged and the surrounding islands were also unaffected, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The middle-aged man asked, "Are you addicted?"

"I'm an internet addict too!"

Wu Pifu felt that this couldn't go on. In a short while, his confusion level dropped by more than 10,000. He turned around and walked towards the Level 7 shelter on the island, saying as he walked, "Come on, I have a lot of questions to ask you. By the way... tell me about the inhuman things that are disguised as humans."

"What?"

The middle-aged man and his crew were startled, then they glared at the boy and girl and said, "Inhumans in human skin? Us? You terrorists from the Revolutionary Alliance have the right to describe us like that!?"

The boy scoffed, "Otherwise what? What are you demons if not human skin? Don't tell me you've forgotten the Dragon Blood Massacre, the Spiral Tragedy, the truth behind the deaths, and... damn it, I never want to mention that incident again. You forced me to, the invincible Fishing Master incident!!"

The middle-aged man and the people behind him all wore expressions of sadness, anger, and even despair, but upon hearing these words, they could only lower their heads and remain silent, mechanically following behind Wu Pifu.

"……no!"

As Wu Pifu listened to all this, his gossip-loving spirit was fully awakened. He didn't understand any of the other events, but... the words "invincible fisherman" completely opened his mind!
(Yes, yes, Chu Minghao's Red Wolf title effect is simply overpowered. Since it can turn me into an autopilot vehicle, it makes sense to turn Liang Min into an autopilot vehicle as well. Combined with Liang Min's Fishing Guy title, no, I mean the Ten Mana Points title, the cumulative effect is unimaginable. I suspect that with continuous stacking, the power could blow up the Milky Way with one punch!)

Wu Pifu probably guessed that this was likely a future timeline. In any case, that's what the main brain meant by the spacetime node. It was impossible to determine which timeline they were going to or where they were going. But it was clear that both groups of people were Gaia humans, not some random dream world.

As Wu Pifu ventured deeper into the territory, both sides became extremely vigilant, their minds and bodies on high alert, not merely out of concern for Wu Pifu.

However, Wu Pifu ignored them and walked towards his shelter. When both sides saw the detached villa at the same time, they were both stunned, and then their expressions became silent and serious.

“The ‘edge’ area, man-made structures, powerful superhumans, and people who seem to have no idea what we’re talking about…”

The girl muttered to herself, looking at the boy with eyes full of fear.

The boy was trembling all over, but he still managed to stand in front of the girl. As for the group of over a hundred people led by the middle-aged man, more than half of them collapsed to the ground, muttering the same word over and over again.

"The truth about death, the truth about death..."

Wu Pifu had already reached the villa gate. He turned around and said with dissatisfaction, "What are you all whispering about? Come in... uh, there are too many people. Here's what we'll do: you pick ten people, and the two of you can come in together."

The girl immediately screamed, "No! I don't want to! Brother, kill me now, kill me right now! I don't want to know the truth about my death, I don't want to!!"

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's too late. When we saw him, we were already in the midst of the truth of death. From the outside, we are probably in a superposition state of existence and non-existence of death. Although we are still in a superposition state of strong observation, it is probably coming soon... Let's go. Since it's too late, we might as well understand this great secret."

The girl was still screaming, and the boy was still hesitating. Wu Pifu got annoyed and reached out to grab them from the air. His inner strength surged, and he swept the boy and girl into the room first.

The middle-aged man sighed, turned around, and selected nine people who were somewhat mentally sound to follow him into the room.

Strangely enough, the people who were walking towards the room were on the verge of a mental breakdown, especially when they thought about the terrifying consequences of learning the truth about death. Even the middle-aged man's legs were weak. But as they walked, they seemed to sense something, and their eyes widened. They walked faster and faster, and finally, they practically ran and crashed into the room.

As the gate closed, the hundred or so people outside looked at each other, then some cried, some howled, and some collapsed to the ground, each with an expression of living hell.

Inside the villa, however, twelve people—young boys, girls, and middle-aged men—were all in a state of utter daze.

"Shelter, shelter..."

The girl mumbled incoherently, paced back and forth a few steps, and finally shouted, "Shelter! This is a shelter!!"

"Correct!"

Suddenly, tears streamed down the middle-aged man's face. He was wearing glasses, but the tears blurred his vision. He took off his glasses and wiped them as he cried, "It really is a shelter! Thank God, it really is a shelter!"

Wu Pifu, growing impatient, shouted, "What's wrong with you all? A shelter here is acting like the world has been liberated! Everyone, sit down. I have some questions for you. Since you're all members of the Superbrain Glory Society, you should know that lying to a superbrain is pointless. Now I'm going to ask you..."

Before Wu Pifu could finish speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly knelt down before him and said, "Sir, sir, sir... I don't know how to address you, but please tell us, where did you obtain this materialized sanctuary? Since this Land of Redemption shattered, since the Mastermind was destroyed by the Predestined Death, there have been no more sanctuaries. So how did you obtain this sanctuary!?"

"Don't tell them!!"

The boy suddenly screamed, "Please, don't tell them! They killed the last Superbrain Savior, they betrayed the last reincarnation of the Unchanged Past, they are traitors, they are monsters in human skin! Please, don't tell them!"

The middle-aged man looked at the boy with murderous intent, and the boy's expression was equally fierce; the two glared at each other intensely.

And Wu Pifu...

I was completely stunned!
