Eternal Night

Chapter 72 Walking Alone

Wu Xianxiao was a little confused, because everything in front of him seemed like a dream, and people in dreams are not conscious.

However, when he saw Xu Shilan, the sleepless spirit in Wu Xianxiao's consciousness shone brightly, which made Wu Xianxiao suddenly wake up. He immediately looked around vigilantly, and then tried to grasp the yellow lotus fragment around his neck, but when he grasped it, he found that he was wearing a bow tie around his neck, which surprised him.

"Walk with me for a while, okay?"

Xu Shilan smiled and naturally took Wu Xianxiao's arm.

Although Wu Xianxiao was very surprised by all this, his sleepless consciousness did not move at all. He also instinctively knew that the person in front of him was Xu Shilan.

Xu Shilan walked out of the bedroom with Wu Xianxian and came to a long corridor outside. It was also antique and filled with various paintings, vases, decorations, works of art, etc. There were also several servants cleaning.

These servants seemed to be unable to see Wu Xianxiao and Xu Shilan, and let them walk through the corridor and into the hall below.

There were dozens of people in the hall, holding wine glasses, chatting, eating, or relaxing. It seemed to be a dinner party.

"My coming-of-age ceremony."

Xu Shilan smiled and walked in the crowd with Wu Xianxiao, and others could not see them at all. The two of them walked to the middle of the hall and saw a handsome middle-aged man with his arms slightly bent, as if he was supporting someone.

"My father, a seventh-level citizen, is one of the presidential candidates." Xu Shilan looked at the middle-aged man and introduced him to Wu Xianxiao with a smile.

There was only sadness in Wu Xianxiao's eyes, and he stood silently with Xu Shilan.

Xu Shilan looked at everything around her, her eyes full of nostalgia. After looking for a long time, she sighed and said, "I can't take you to see my brother. He was a super brain. After he died, he told me that he was afraid that I would be sad when I thought of him, so he deleted all his images from my memory... Stupid brother, if I could remember his appearance, I would not be so sad."

Wu Xianxiao had been listening quietly to Xu Shilan's talk, from her father, to her mother, to her younger brother, to the maid she had when she was a child, to the classmates she knew at school...

After a long while, when the edge of the hall had begun to become dim, Wu Xianxiao asked in a hoarse voice: "Why..."

Wu Xianxiao himself didn’t know why he said what he said, nor did he know what he wanted to express.

Xu Shilan smiled at Wu Xianxiao and said, "No reason, it's just that if I die, everyone will die, right?"

There was a sound in Wu Xianxun's throat, but he couldn't make it out.

Xu Shilan was laughing as tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks. She looked at the haziness gradually encroaching on her surroundings and said, "Death Resurrection... The masterpiece of the Sixth Singularity Company."

"You also know that the biggest nightmare of mankind from ancient times to the present is actually death. The fear of death transcends everything. It is something rooted in the deepest part of the human race, and the Singularity Technology of the Sixth Singularity Company involves death."

"They, the old people, the powerful people, they are so afraid of death, they are so eager for life, and after proving that neither the biochemical body nor the mechanical body can bear the life consciousness of 'I', they turned to support the Sixth Singularity Company to study the afterlife and return from the afterlife."

"Although I despise those who escape death, it is ironic that I am also a beneficiary of this research. For example, now I am dead, but I can come back for a while..."

The haziness had already covered one-third of the hall and was moving towards the remaining two-thirds.

Xu Shilan looked around and suddenly asked, "Brother Wu, do you think there really is an afterlife? Chu Minghao said that the reward for a level 6 shelter is the ability to communicate with the dead. Does that mean there really is an afterlife?"

Wu Xianxiao nodded vigorously but couldn't utter a word.

Xu Shilan laughed happily, clapping her hands and saying, "Then I won't be lonely. My parents, my brother, and many of my good friends are waiting for me over there..."

The haziness had already covered half of the hall, and it seemed to be accelerating.

Xu Shilan suddenly asked again: "Can you... hug me?"

Wu Xianxiao held Xu Shilan in his arms without saying a word.

Xu Shilan leaned her head on Wu Xianxiao's chest, and then Wu Xianxiao felt wetness on his chest.

"I'm so scared, I'm really scared. I can feel it's very scary over there. I don't want to die. I really..."

Xu Shilan murmured softly and cried at the same time.

Wu Xianxiao could do nothing but hold Xu Shilan quietly.

Menglong had come to her side. Xu Shilan suddenly pushed Wu Xianxiao away. She wiped her face and suddenly a golden sphere appeared in her hand. She couldn't see clearly what it was. She suddenly threw the sphere to Wu Xianxiao. The sphere fell into Wu Xianxiao's chest and merged with him. Then she smiled brightly and said, "I didn't expect that after I die, the only one I can find is you... Brother Wu, stay alive and don't come to find me too soon."

Xu Shilan was shrouded in haziness, and then she disappeared completely.

Wu Xianxiao suddenly opened his eyes, and liquid invaded his eyes, but it was not glaring, and Wu Xianxiao could still easily see everything outside.

He found himself still lying in the medical cabin, and what he was breathing was this liquid. At the same time, he also found that there was a bird lying on his chest, Chirp, also breathing this liquid.

The dormant therapeutic solution can be converted from carbon-based nanounits. Life can breathe in it, and all metabolic waste in the body can interact with the liquid. There is no need to eat. This liquid completely replaces all food and guarantees all the needs of life.

This is when a person has been unconscious in the medical cabin for more than two days and there is no one else near the medical cabin. The medical cabin will consume the carbon-based nanodevice to sustain the life of the person in the coma.

As Wu Xianxiao woke up, the liquid began to fade away, and then Jiujiu's eyes slowly opened, but for a moment he seemed to have not come back to his senses and looked a little dazed.

Wu Xianxiao was also stunned for several seconds, then he immediately turned over and got up from the medical cabin and ran directly to the medical cabin of Yamade and Xu Shilan. But when he took a look, his heart sank, and a huge sadness made his whole body tremble.

There was no dormant healing solution in Yamade and Xu Shilan's medical cabin, but it was in a frozen state.

The medical cabin cannot treat people who are completely dead and whose brain tissue has mostly died. If there are no people outside the medical cabin, the bodies inside will be frozen using quick-freezing technology.

They...are dead.

Wu Xianxiao stood silently for a long time, until Jiujiu flew to his shoulder and gently touched his face with its head. Wu Xianxiao then pressed the button on the medical cabin, and the two bodies thawed, followed by a solution that gushed out, and the two bodies disappeared in the solution.

Once they are dead, they are really dead. Everything is gone. There is no point in keeping their bodies...

Yamade, Xu Shilan...

Wu Xianxiao's feelings towards them are different from those of his predecessors.

Although the seniors took care of him, they did not actually treat him as a partner or comrade-in-arms. This was not just the case with one or two seniors, but with all the seniors.

Indifference, distance, and the unwillingness to be dragged down or implicated. If it was just simple intelligence, or some food in the dream world, or a small amount of money, the seniors would be willing to help. But fighting side by side, facing weirdness, monsters, nightmares together... the seniors would not be willing to do that.

And Yamade and Xu Shilan are his true companions and comrades-in-arms.

But now they are all gone, and he is the only one left.

Wu Xianxiao left the medical base station with difficulty, and Jiujiu accompanied him quietly. After a while, Wu Xianxiao came to the hibernation cabin, which was in a mess. Only one hibernation cabin was intact, and the others were completely destroyed.

Until he reached here, Wu Xianxiao thought of everything in the dream world of Peace Hotel, the paper man, the half-paper man, Xu Rongyu, Lin Heier, and his two companions...

It was not until the last time they entered the Peace Hotel that the three had a conversation.

During this conversation, the three people listed all possible abilities of the Mother of No Birth. In particular, Wu Xianxiao was familiar with the history and information before the Third World War, and he mentioned many extraordinary powers in Buddhism.

After doing all this, the three discussed in detail all the difficulties they would face, including the fact that the entire Peace Hotel had been surrounded and they could not step out of the peace range. At the same time, there was no magic that they could use to destroy the Peace Hotel shelter, and the Mother of No Birth was a high-level being and could not be unintelligent or powerless.

When faced with such a high-level existence, all the most difficult assumptions are not excessive.

In this discussion, Xu Shilan analyzed several key points for Wu Xianxiao and Yamade.

First, the Mother of No Birth can erode the environment. This erosion may change the basic rules of the world, or it may drag the dream world to a lower level.

Second, the Avalokitesvara Mother possesses telepathy. As long as you are thinking about it, She most likely knows it all. However, it is not clear whether the scope of this telepathy is outside the Peace Hotel shelter or whether She knows everything inside the Peace Hotel shelter.

Third, the Avalokitesvara Mother may have encountered a shelter, so She knows some of the conditions there.

Fourth, the Mother of No Birth can create and control puppets, but the three of them don’t know whether these puppets are strange or nightmare-like.

Fifth, it is impossible to defeat the Mother of No Birth by strength, as the gap between them is too big.

Sixth, it is impossible to use intelligence to deceive the Mother of No Birth, because according to the inferences of the above points, the Mother of No Birth only needs to wait for time to win.

In this situation, there is only one way to make Wushengmu take risks, and that is to bet with Wu Xianxiao's own life. However, the bet is definitely not to let Wushengmu let the three people go. She will absolutely not do that. At most, she will kill the three people and wait for the next opportunity. Therefore, the only way to bet is to let Wushengmu give up delaying time and then find a way to control Wu Xianxiao.

This is the core of the plan, which is to let the Mother of No Birth control Wu Xianxiao, but it must not be remote mental control, but to let the Mother of No Birth control Wu Xianxiao by making paper people.

then……

He instantly returned to Gaia, bringing back with him the part of Wu Xianxiao that was controlled by the Mother of No Life!
The most difficult part of this plan is telepathy. If the Avici Mother is really a great power in Buddhism, then She must possess this supernatural power. The way to hide this from the telepathy is to make herself have no memory of this and not think about this information.

So after the discussion, the three of them used the medical base station's de-anomaly detector to change their cerebral cortexes at the atomic level, turning this memory into information buried in their subconscious. They would never be able to remember it, which was similar to a deep suggestion. Only when certain key conditions for unlocking it were met would this memory be immediately revived.

And this key condition is... the moment when Wu Xianxiao is controlled by the entity!

The plan was successful. They really destroyed the Peace Hotel shelter and defeated the dream world power of baseline reality 0.2, but...

Only Wu Xianxiao survived, while Yamade and Xu Shilan died.

The sadder Wu Xianxiao felt as he stood in the hibernation chamber, and his rage and murderous intent towards Mother Wusheng grew stronger.

He stood there silently for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and roared.

"I will, I will..."

After a long time, Wu Xianxiao finally stopped roaring. He panted violently for a moment, then said, "Master Brain, it shows the weekend time."

"There are still sixty-five days, eight hours, twenty-one minutes and six seconds until the weekend."

Wu Xianxiao nodded and said, "There's still a lot of time... Wait a minute, sixty-five days!?"

The timing is wrong.

Wu Xianxiao reacted immediately, because he had rescued Yamadea and Xu Shilan after the weekend last time. During this period, they first went to the Peace Hotel to guard it, and then went to the Mud Buddha Yaksha world for a few days, and then returned and went to the Peace Hotel again... No matter how you calculate it, it is impossible for it to be sixty-five days!
Wu Xianxiao immediately asked, "Master Brain, how long have I been unconscious in the treatment cabin?!"

"Wu Xianxiao, judging... judging completed, you have been unconscious in the treatment cabin for one hundred and fifty-two days, eleven hours, fifty-seven minutes and six seconds."

"what!?"

Wu Xianxiao was extremely shocked. He had actually been in a coma for 152 days!? What a joke, he...

"Wait, one hundred and fifty-two days!?"

Wu Xianxiao suddenly remembered the countdown of the dark backflow in his mind, and he immediately shouted: "Mastermind, open my personalized information panel!"

"Wu Xianxiao, human, pure blood."

"Second-level maintenance personnel, low-level staff."

"Physical body at level 1 (potential +2.1) (muscle strength 1.4, gene strength 2.0, nerve reaction speed 2.8, hematopoietic immune function 2.8, self-healing ability 2.2), soul at level 0.2 (expandable), inspiration at level 2.4 (strange perception 1.4+0.1=1.5, barrier-breaking perception +=)."

“National Martial Arts: Hua Jin (11.27%) → Hua Jin (72.8%), Tiger Magic Skill: Reaching the Peak (2.74%) → Reaching the Peak (97.61%).”

"Human Immortal Martial Arts: Great Accomplishment of Skin Training (93.7%), Training of Flesh (4.42%), Green Python Shedding Skill: Perfection (62.8%)."

"Virtual personality, can absorb self-fragments to solidify into reality, negative backflow rate in the sea of ​​consciousness is 7%, the total amount of negative energy in the sea of ​​consciousness???."

"Brand: The attraction rate of the Buddha Realm is 4% (from the Buddha mud), and the attraction rate of the vacuum hometown is 11% (from the gaze of the Mother of No Birth)."

Wu Xianxiao silently looked at all the attributes. He looked at the 7% negative backflow rate of the sea of ​​consciousness for a long time, and then looked at the second stage of the soul. He said: "Master brain, expand the second stage of the soul."

"Soul Level 2 (Death and Rebirth)."

There is only this one light-up item in the entire second-level soul, and all the others are question marks.

Wu Xianxiao said in a trembling voice: "Master Brain, it shows death resurrection."

"Death returns."

"It can resist or bear all negative influences to a great extent, and reduce the effects of madness, confusion, corruption of consciousness, and distortion of the soul."

Wu Xianxiao thought of the sphere that Xu Shilan finally gave him in that dream-like scene.

He just stood there, tears rolling down his face uncontrollably.

"The Mother of No Birth!!!"
