Eternal Night

Chapter 672 The Corpse of the Root
Looking at the almost endless negative information before him, Wu Pifu's first suspicion was that something was wrong with the pre-World War III sleepers slumbering in this laboratory.

Based on the information currently available, it is known that the Azure government discovered the abnormalities of the cryogenically hibernated personnel before World War III, and several accidents occurred as a result. After that, as the Azure government became corrupt, the high-ranking officials and elites became detached from the people, and their desires became increasingly inflated. They began to evolve from conventional extravagance to eating human flesh and drinking human blood (in the physical sense). At the same time, various ideas such as longevity, immortality, transcendence of the mortal world, and control of the extraordinary also emerged.

Human civilization in this era is still at the absolute reality level, and it is an absolute reality level without even the slightest sign of a dream world. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for supernatural powers to appear in this era. Even the bio-beast frenzy is nothing more than carrying what appears to be supernatural power.

The real-world bio-beast frenzy is very different from the super-soldier dream world that Wu Pifu experienced. That was just an information projection of the bio-beast frenzy in the dream world. There is no First God in the real world.

Even the thirteen Singularity companies that appeared later, or Singularity Technology controlled by the Human Revolutionary Alliance, were pseudo-supernatural creations built up from technology. Ultimately, they can still be explained by science.

Throughout the entire Azure Government and into the future Fourth World War era, only two things possess truly unmistakable extraordinary characteristics: one is the negative backlash and distortion that occurs a year after the cryogenic hibernation before the Third World War is awakened, and the other is the possessor of the superbrain.

At this point in time, the superbrain is still unknown to the world. The only superbrain is the final producer, but he has always kept the superbrain's special nature hidden. Others may have some guesses, but they are indeed unaware of the superbrain's existence.

In contrast, the only extraordinary power that the Azure government and its elite leaders could see and grasp was the supernatural power of personnel frozen in hibernation before World War III. By inducing a negative backlash, observing its patterns, finding its root cause, and ultimately gaining control over it, the Azure government did exactly that.

Although some wealthy and powerful individuals wanted to interfere with the negative mutation experiments on cryogenically frozen individuals, the Azure government kept a tight grip on the matter due to several accidents. At this time, although the middle and upper classes of humanity began to degenerate and become corrupt, the Azure government's authority remained stable. In particular, the government controlled the raw materials (cryogenically frozen individuals), so all negative mutation experiments on cryogenically frozen individuals were initiated and overseen by the Azure government.

The same applies to this laboratory, which contains the negative mutations of cryogenically frozen personnel from before World War III. When Wu Pifu saw this endless negativity through the Superbrain World, his first thought was that a negative backlash had occurred in the laboratory. But then he thought that was not right. This was not a simple negative backlash, but a supernatural phenomenon that truly possessed the characteristics of the unchanging Superbrain from the past.

This is truly strange; the super-brain's characteristics remained unchanged in the past, yet a massive amount of negative backlash surged forth...

Wu Pifu stood still and looked ahead. Behind the metal door was a surging torrent of negativity, but the negativity before him was absolutely different from his own, which was why Wu Pifu was caught off guard and fell into its trap.

The negative influences within Wu Pifu's sea of ​​consciousness exhibited an extreme state of chaos, completely devoid of any discernible pattern. However, they were mostly in a dormant state, and billions of times more negative influences lurked in the deepest part of his sea of ​​consciousness. This was why he was able to maintain his pure-blooded human state. Even so, every time the negative influences surged back in a frenzy, he almost transformed into various strange monsters.

The supernatural changes caused by negativity are completely unpredictable, and their effects are not limited to physical matter. Once negativity erupts, it will produce all sorts of incredible and bizarre changes, with physical deformities being the most common and insignificant of them. This is actually similar to the nightmares that life has: bizarre, strange, irregular, chaotic, and terrifying.

Based on Wu Pifu's understanding and perception of negativity, the magnitude and the extent of the negativity before him should present a terrifying, nightmarish scene within this metal gate. It should be a source of negative pollution that could cause madness and distortion even with just a glance, and it would be impossible for it to maintain a complete and regular material form.

It should not merely exhibit a certain characteristic that has remained unchanged since the past.

Wu Pifu stood outside the metal door for a long time, and hesitated for a moment.

After a long while, Wu Pifu finally gritted his teeth and stepped forward, heading into the laboratory passageway under the power of the Super Brain World.

As expected, once inside the superbrain world, the seemingly unchanged influence from the past disappeared. He successfully stepped through the metal door, and light began to appear at the end of the passage ahead, which was the entrance area of ​​the laboratory. However, without the special influence of the unchanged past, the massive amount of negative energy in this passage was no longer just for show. Instead, it began to erode his superbrain world in some way he couldn't understand. The black and white world he had seen was gradually being eroded by fine black lines. In his own mind, this manifested as the negative energy in his sea of ​​consciousness gradually boiling and surging back.

This is fatal for Wu Pifu, especially since he is no longer a pure-blooded human. Every time he uses the super brain, it is actually a slow suicide. At the same time, the backlash from the negative influence in his sea of ​​consciousness is also extremely damaging. Just through this short passage, all the "tigers" in his sea of ​​consciousness, except for the World Fragment, Kane Fragment, and the Angel of Power, have been completely exhausted. Even these three big tigers are in grave danger and are about to be completely consumed.

Finally, Wu Pifu stepped into the laboratory and saw a large number of people standing quietly in place. In the black and white vision of this super brain world, everything was still, but Wu Pifu only glanced at it and immediately felt a tightness in his heart.

These people are no longer human; they have become something he cannot comprehend.

This is not an adjective describing something inhuman, but a literal fact that actually happened.

When he looked at these people, they did indeed appear human, and from his perception, they were undoubtedly human. However, once he shifted his gaze and perception, these things that looked and perceived as human exhibited indescribable changes beyond his sight and perception. As long as he didn't look at them or constantly monitor them with his senses, his martial arts intuition and sixth sense would frantically alarm, as if he were playing a game of "statues" with some unknown monster.

But you have to understand, he's currently advancing with the Super Brain World, which is the same Super Brain World as Chu Minghao's current invincible Super Brain. Although its effects are much weaker, it's still a special super brain ability that allows him to walk in super bullet time.

Even if these people were all turned into monsters, theoretically they shouldn't be able to move at all.

However, Wu Pifu was very certain that when he stepped into this laboratory, all these stationary monsters had already "noticed" him, and in some way he couldn't understand, they posed a terrifying threat to him when he didn't see or perceive them.

Left with no other choice, Wu Pifu could only fully activate his senses, bringing all the "humans" in the same room under his sight or perception.

Even so, Wu Pifu dared not be negligent in the slightest. His super brain world was already overloaded, and the negative influences in his sea of ​​consciousness were surging. He could not maintain this state for long. He did not even dare to imagine what would happen if he were to leave the super brain world at this moment.

He immediately sped up and rushed toward the core of the negative influence. After passing through more than a dozen rooms and halls, he arrived at the door of an isolation laboratory.

All the changes and negativity flowed out from this laboratory. Wu Pifu stood outside the transparent wall of this isolated laboratory and looked inside. He saw a human lying in the corner of the room, and at the same time, he also saw the core of all these changes...

Corpse!

The corpse of the root cause!!
