Eternal Night

Chapter 607 The Leader... Wang Yihui
Wu Pifu knew he wasn't very bright; he was really bad at solving puzzles, thinking about problems, and finding answers, even with tasks given by the mainframe. He really hoped that the next major upgrade of the mainframe would include task guidance and a mini-map, ideally with the ability to teleport to task locations and characters.

"Citizen Wu Pifu, go to location XX and kill a certain person or group of people, and retrieve their heads, fingers, and insignia!"

See, if the mastermind issues tasks like this, he will be very happy. Not only will he be relaxed, but the mastermind will probably be relaxed too.

As for the problem he faces now, there is so much important information he wants to obtain, but due to the paradox of the unknown, the total amount of information he can obtain is limited. He must carefully select the most valuable information that has the potential to reverse everything!
And this kind of selection... was beyond his intellectual capacity to conceive.

Since that's the case, let professionals handle the professional matters. He doesn't know what information to acquire, but there are always people who do. Just like what he did in the Song Dynasty dream world, he didn't know how to improve people's living standards, but the rulers should know. A ruler who doesn't know has no reason to exist.

The middle-aged man and the boy were both stunned. They hesitated, then looked at each other with wary and hostile eyes. The middle-aged man and the nine people behind him immediately got up and ran outside.

After the middle-aged man ran out, the boy immediately knelt down before Wu Pifu. Although he couldn't actually kneel down because he was blocked by an invisible wall of energy, he still quickly said, "Sir, if you are really Mr. Wu Pifu, then I beg you to help me contact my organization and headquarters. We will definitely bring you the answer you need most!"

Wu Pifu asked with great interest, "How can I help you contact the organization and headquarters? Let me make it clear first, my arrival here was an accident. I didn't bring any useful equipment or communication devices with me, and my current condition is not suitable for using supernatural powers extensively, so it's impossible for me to run around and make contact for you."

"No need!"

The boy quickly said, "Their ship has a communication device. As long as they know the location mark, they can contact my organization's headquarters. I happen to know it, so I only need to use the communication device on their ship. However, firstly, they won't let me use it, and secondly, I'm afraid they'll record the mark. So I can only ask you, sir."

After thinking for a moment, Wu Pifu decided that he could not let the Superbrain Glory Society monopolize his meetings. He believed that listening to both sides would lead to a clear understanding, so he stood up and said, "Okay, I'll help you. Come with me."

Both the boy and girl wore happy expressions, and the boy took the girl's hand and followed behind Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu actually had a certain appreciation for this young man.

From what he saw and heard, to the conversation after entering the room, and this time when he asked for help, the boy gave him the feeling that he was brave and resourceful. He was neither weak and surrendering, nor stubborn and rigid, and he even had the courage to face death. Moreover, the words he uttered about a monster in human skin made Wu Pifu feel even more favorably toward him.

On the contrary, it was the boy's sister... that Wu Pifu disliked the way she was expressing her emotions.

She was a traitor, and not the kind of traitor who was given benefits, but a traitor who did so voluntarily, without any exchange of benefits with the party she joined. She was a simple, stupid, and completely incomprehensible traitor who passed on intelligence about her organization.

To use a story Wu Pifu knew as an analogy, the boy's sister, this girl, was actually a standard "Advent Faction".

However, Wu Pifu did not do anything. She was just a traitor. By nature, the girl had not yet deviated from the human realm. After all, there are indeed many despicable people, traitors, and idiots among humans.

As Wu Pifu arrived outside the room, he saw the middle-aged man galloping towards the ship, followed by the other nine people. The hundred or so people were shocked. They couldn't understand why their leader was so excited, as if he had found a fragment of the main brain, even though they had witnessed the truth of death.

Wu Pifu ignored them and led the boy and girl toward the ship. He was also very curious about the expressions on their faces and subconsciously asked, "What's the truth about the death? A meme?"

The girl had by then come to her senses. She figured Wu Pifu was probably some important figure. Although she didn't know who "Wu Pifu" was—she didn't usually care about such things—now that she did, she immediately rushed to speak: "My lord, my lord, the truth about the death was..."

The boy suddenly grabbed the girl and covered her mouth, while shouting to Wu Pifu, "Sir! You set the rules! You told us what to tell you!"

Wu Pifu was taken aback, then immediately realized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I asked without thinking..."

After saying that, Wu Pifu quickened his pace, and the boy finally released the girl. The girl immediately said to the boy with dissatisfaction, "Brother! What are you doing? This important person appreciates us. He's asking us questions. If we can answer them, then we'll..."

The boy, unusually stern, looked at the girl and said, "Shut up! Xiaomi! Do you even know what you're saying? If he really is Mr. Wu Pifu, if he really is... you are destroying the only and last hope of all humankind!"

The girl was startled, somewhat frightened, her lips twitched slightly, and tears seemed about to fall. But the boy ignored her completely and strode after Wu Pifu. The girl dared not act out at this moment and could only follow behind the boy with resentment.

When the three arrived on the ship, the middle-aged man had already eagerly activated the covert communication system. He seemed to have the relevant permissions, as he transmitted all the information without even saying a word. Then, he caught sight of Wu Pifu and the young boy and girl arriving. The next second, he actually drew his gun and aimed it at the communication device, an instrument that occupied almost half of the captain's cabin.

The next instant, however, the gun was in Wu Pifu's hands, shattering into pieces with a crack. The middle-aged man's face was grim, but he did nothing more, simply standing quietly to the side. The young man sneered at the middle-aged man, then quickly ran to the device. After carefully examining it, he removed some wires and placed them on his head. He activated the device, communicating silently. After about a minute, a relieved expression appeared on his face, and he said to Wu Pifu, "Sir, you can destroy this device now."

Wu Pifu looked at the boy with amusement, but the boy was not afraid and looked at Wu Pifu with a calm expression.

Wu Pifu appreciated this attitude. He laughed and slapped the instrument. There was no explosion or impact; instead, the entire instrument slowly turned into powder. He then turned around and said, "Let's go back to our rooms and rest. I have some food to share with everyone. Get some rest and wait to see if your two organizations are willing to take action."

Now that things had come to this, neither the middle-aged man nor the boy had any other options but to follow Wu Pifu back to the Level 7 shelter.

After asking a few questions, the middle-aged man allowed the people in the group to take turns resting inside the Level 7 shelter. Everyone who entered was first taken aback, and then burst into tears.

In Wu Pifu's perception, these people all showed signs of pollution to varying degrees, but after entering the shelter, their signs of pollution began to weaken and dissipate. This phenomenon made Wu Pifu fall into deep thought.

It seems that... in this future time, the main brain is gone, Gaia is gone, the Land of Redemption has fallen to the 0.6 Dream Century, and humanity is no longer able to resist various pollution phenomena. Everyone is slowly accumulating pollution, and once the critical point is exceeded, what awaits them is either aberration or falling into bizarre encounters.

In contrast, in his original timeline, neither ordinary people nor the night watchmen exploring the dream world faced this problem.

The group waited silently for about five hours. When there were still less than two and a half hours left before Wu Pifu was to leave this time point, a sound came from outside. The sound was very sharp, and it sounded like both the sound of a vehicle breaking through the air and the shriek of some kind of bird.

The middle-aged man's face lit up with joy, but before his happiness could fully unfold, another sound like tearing cloth rang out, and this tearing sound drowned out the shriek. The boy immediately burst into laughter, looking at the middle-aged man provocatively and saying, "You really think the Shattered Land of Redemption is your home turf?"

The middle-aged man remained silent, his face grim, and looked at Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu then stood up from the floor and said, "Let's go and greet them. I also want to know what you're planning to tell me."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and followed Wu Pifu to the open space in front of the villa.

Wu Pifu stood there leisurely with his hands hanging down naturally. Then he saw two teams coming from the edge of the island. One team came down from a transparent, super-large vehicle. There were more than two hundred people in total, including men and women. It seemed that more than half of them were scientists or researchers. He didn't recognize any of the leaders.

The other team emerged directly from a black hole, a completely dark cave, appearing out of thin air on the edge of the island. It was as if space itself had been torn open.
This group was much smaller, only about twenty people. They had different appearances, with more than half being cyborgs, robots, or bio-engineered humans, and the other half barely resembling scientists or scholars.

However, among the group of people leading them, there were actually some that Wu Pifu knew!
Wang Yihui!
Wang Yihui is much older!
With graying hair, a wrinkled face, and a stern expression, he walked at the very front of the group, wearing a black cloak and robe. The hundreds of members of the Super Brain Glory Society who saw him all had ugly and cautious expressions, and some even showed fear.

"Leadership! Sir, that is the current leader of our Human Revolutionary Alliance!" The boy waved excitedly at Wang Yihui, and said to Wu Pifu at the same time, "He is also the greatest hope of all mankind, the Ascendant, the hope of mankind, the strongest mankind, the one who resists the Root, the only remaining leader of the Human Revolutionary Alliance, the King of Miracles, Leader Yihui!!"

Wang Yihui also saw the boy and girl, and he also saw Wu Pifu, who was 3.5 meters tall and standing in front of everyone. His face was solemn, and his palms were slightly blackened. He stopped a hundred meters away from Wu Pifu and said loudly, "You are not Mr. Wu Pifu. Who are you?"

Wu Pifu muttered to himself, "There's no room for so many people here, but... that's really impressive..."

He burst into laughter and said, "Because the injuries were too severe, I've temporarily changed bodies. Wang Yihui..."

When Wu Pifu laughed heartily, he stood still, solemnly raised his hands and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Wu Pifu...spanning eight hundred years, I've met him!"

Wang Yihui shuddered and opened his mouth to make two "ah ah" sounds.

The next moment, tears streamed down her face.
