[Enter the World: The Silent Corridor]

[Difficulty Level: Abyss]

Synopsis: The Silent Corridor is not a world in the traditional sense, but a special world that was torn apart and distorted by the higher-dimensional being [Dream Weaver], and finally kneaded together.

It's like a giant, self-healing piece of amber, trapping countless captured and fused fragments of the world. Time here is fragmented, cyclical, or even stopped; the laws of space are displaced and folded like a labyrinth; and the laws of physics are sometimes effective and sometimes not.

Here, contact with the physical world, its sights, and even every piece of information will subtly erode the challenger's sanity, distort their memories and senses, and ultimately turn them into part of the silent corridor, becoming nourishment or a new source of terror.

Bring your team! Use your courage and strength to take on the most challenging battle in the area!

This chapter is short, so I'll update more in the next chapter. I'll just put them together in one chapter!

Chapter 137 A New World! The Silent Corridor!

It was deathly silent, but not without sound.

All sounds within the space were slowly swallowed and chewed up by a mysterious force, leaving only an endless, deathly silence that sent chills down one's spine.

The light twists, meanders, and turns in the silent, swirling world, sometimes following the laws of physics, sometimes not, hovering like a bizarre, elusive creature in this fantastical world.

This is the Silent Corridor, a world torn apart and ultimately reconstructed by the higher-dimensional being, the Dream Weaver, from countless worlds.

Suddenly, a figure appeared abruptly in the twisted corner.

[Hint: We have arrived at the Silent Corridor]

[Due to world characteristics, sanity attribute is being additionally checked.]

[Data quantification complete.]

Current sanity level: 18

[Warning: When your sanity level drops below 80, your judgment and decision-making abilities will be significantly affected.]

[Warning: When your sanity is below 50, you will behave in a completely different manner than you would in a normal state.]

[Warning: If your sanity is below 20, you are on the verge of madness and may descend into insanity at any moment.]

What is the definition of intellectual disability?

Ye Mingqiu frowned slightly, feeling that the rationality stat in the spirit world was seriously flawed. He was clearly a very rational person and very organized in his actions, so how could he only have 18 points of rationality?

Slander! This is pure slander!

It seems that the numerical values ​​quantified in the spirit world aren't necessarily accurate. If my sanity is really only 18, how do I usually learn magic? With such low sanity, how could I possibly learn magical skills?

Ye Mingqiu thought angrily.

[Note: Your abnormal state has immuneed the influence on your judgment and decision-making abilities.]

[Note: Your abnormal status resistance grants immunity to the Frenzy status.]

[Fault: Abnormal status resistance cannot prevent the effects of low sanity]

[Issue under investigation]

[Detection failed, issue tracing underway.]

[Tracing failed. Unable to detect. The tracing process conflicts with the initial regulations.]

[Current Sanity Level: Identity Unknown]

???

Who is this person who is so rational but whose true nature is unclear? What exactly is going on? Just as Ye Mingqiu was looking blankly at the prompt from the spirit world, a new prompt appeared.

[Note: Fault detection complete; only data anomaly was found, repair has been completed]

Current sanity level: 100/100

Troubleshooting?

Ye Mingqiu frowned slightly. Although the probability of a malfunction in the spirit realm was not nonexistent, he always felt that this matter was not as simple as a malfunction.

After all, the previous prompts had already shown that they conflicted with the initial regulations, which clearly involved some extremely special areas, thus revealing that the true nature of the matter was unclear.

Based on his understanding of the spirit world, spirit world messages are divided into two types: one is a prompt that is automatically given according to a fixed preset program, and the other is a prompt that is actively issued after the spirit world's will notices it.

Although the current appearance of the spirit world is an automatic prompt, Ye Mingqiu always felt that the will of the spirit world had noticed this and therefore changed the information prompt.

perhaps

Am I special in the eyes of the spirit world?

The ability to allocate talent points multiple times—is this really a bug in the spirit world? Would the spirit world really allow such a glitch to persist?

[World Rules Announcement]

① Silent Curse: The Dream Weaver enjoys creating and indulging in dreams. Tearing apart fragments of the world and kneading them into unique worlds is not intentional, but rather something done unintentionally while asleep. Because the Dream Weaver is asleep, it abhors any sound that disturbs its peaceful slumber.

Within the Silent Corridor world, anything that makes a sound will be cursed by the world, its sanity will be greatly reduced, and it will suffer from the [Dream Erosion] effect, making it impossible to clearly distinguish between reality and dreams, and it may fall into a dream at any time.

② Spatial Labyrinth: The laws of space are completely shattered and reassembled here. The corridor itself is a vast labyrinth that extends infinitely, folds itself, and cycles endlessly. Passages will break, flip, and connect to completely unrelated or even logically contradictory areas without warning.

③Rationality Pollution: The Silent Corridor itself is a massive source of [curse]. Contact with any entity or scene within it, or interpretation of any information, will reduce sanity to some extent.

Here, the senses and memories of psionicists are disturbed and distorted by the world, and their cognition is interfered with by the environment. The more their sanity decreases, the greater the interference effect. When the psychic's sanity decreases to a certain level, they will be completely swallowed up by the Silent Corridor, turning into nourishment or new eeriness/terror.

"It looks dangerous." Ye Mingqiu whispered tentatively, his voice not loud, but he could feel his voice being swallowed up, as if a special force was interfering with his mind.

[Note: Your abnormal status resistance has been successfully assessed, and you are now immune to the Silent Curse effect.]

I think I can speak?

Ye Mingqiu slowly smiled. Although talking too much might be greatly affected by the environment, it seemed that saying less was also a good thing.

The next moment, the Eye of Omargon in his hand suddenly opened, its eyeballs moving as it looked around at the environment, sensing the cursed power contained within it, its eyes filled with joy and excitement.

Holy crap! We're in a buffet restaurant!

This world is full of curses!

Hahahaha!

The Eye of Omargon laughed wildly, rapidly absorbing the curse's power to replenish its own essence. It could clearly feel its power being restored, and it was constantly growing stronger.

[Note: The Eye of Omargon has rewarded you with pure soul energy, increasing your soul strength by 0.3 points.]

[Note: The Eye of Omargon has rewarded you with pure soul energy, increasing your soul strength by 0.2 points.]

[Note: The Eye of Omargon has rewarded you with pure soul energy, increasing your soul strength by 0.5 points.]

With a continuous stream of notifications appearing, Ye Mingqiu felt his soul power rapidly growing stronger, indicating that this place was indeed a treasure trove.

As he watched the light and terrain gradually return to normal, he guessed that it was because the Eye of Omargon had devoured the curse of the world, so the cursed terrain had returned to its original state. In this case, would Ye Mingqiu still be cursed if he continued to make a sound?

Ye Mingqiu was very curious!

So he focused his energy and said, "Chen Ran is my son."

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, slowly echoing and spreading within the space. In the area where the curse was being swallowed, the sound could travel naturally, but in the area where the curse existed, the sound would still be swallowed up. However, the effect of the [Silent Curse] was much weaker than before, to the point that he could hardly feel it.

If it weren't for the judgment of the spirit realm, Ye Mingqiu would have thought it was just a gust of wind blowing by.

camouflage!

【Riddle Veil】Activated!

Soon, the [Riddle Veil] transformed into a thin veil that looked like it was woven from countless fine ashes, slowly flowing across Ye Mingqiu's body.

This thin veil envelops the cursed light, which distorts physical phenomena and blocks all perception, forming a special isolation layer unique to the [Riddle Veil].

At this moment, in the eyes of any other observer, Ye Mingqiu was no longer a person, but a special being in human form, filled with broken and chaotic starlight. He could exude a terrifying aura that could freeze the soul simply by standing there, making people feel an indescribable terror.

He gave himself a new name

Lord of Light and Shadow

Now, his panel has been transformed by [Riddle Veil]

Lord of Light and Shadow (Level 4 Overlord)

Race: Unknown

[Basic Attributes: Strength: ?, Agility: ?, Constitution: ?, Spirit: ?]

[Ability: Indescribable, ???]

Ready? Let's go!

Ye Mingqiu took a step, his boots, covered in gray gauze, landed on the ground covered with small pebbles and an unknown liquid without making a sound or even stirring up any dust.

He wandered aimlessly through the world, and the Eye of Omargon rapidly devoured the world's cursed power, restoring the environment around the Lord of Light and Shadow back to normal, making him appear out of place in the originally distorted and reversed world.

After Ye Mingqiu leaves, the new curse will once again permeate the world, turning it into a terrifying realm where despair and madness coexist.

Silently, a monster lurking in the shadow of the suspended rock moved.

It resembled a sphere composed of countless tiny, slippery black tentacles, with a mouthpart filled with fine, sharp teeth splitting open at its center. It silently shot out from a hole in the rock, heading straight for Ye Mingqiu's nape.

This is a variant of the [Wandering Shadow], possessing the strength of a Level 2 [Leader]. It excels at ambushes and surprise attacks, and has a morbid obsession with all sounds in the world.

"boring."

The Lord of Light and Shadow continued forward, showing no desire to turn back or stop.

Just as the spherical monster was about to touch the edge of the gray veil of the Lord of Light and Shadow, a holy light suddenly shone in this cursed land. The light attribute power constructed with the Holy Power as its core has a strong restraining effect on this kind of curse.

Divine light descends from the Lord.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a very faint sound, like the sound of ashes being blown, rang out.

The spherical monster made of black tentacles suddenly stiffened, and under the holy light, it was like a vampire being directly hit by the sun, before dissipating at an extremely fast speed.

There was no flying blood and flesh, no broken tentacles. It was like the filth that had been completely purified, turning into a sphere of matter composed of countless tiny particles. It was blown away by the breeze that the Lord of Light and Shadow walked by, and scattered randomly on the surrounding ground and walls.

The ash particles, baptized by holy light and imbued with the power of [divine power], made a "sizzling" sound upon contact with the cursed terrain in the distance. The power of the holy light eroded the ground, but it was quickly swallowed up by more curses, leaving only a few wisps of black smoke that dissipated rapidly, drifting freely while retaining the last vestiges of physical laws, like free souls flying into the sky.

The Lord of Light and Shadow did not stop his steps, as if it were just a gentle breeze.

He continued forward, the starry sky shrouded in gray gauze appearing and disappearing in the distorted light and shadow, like a true god who saves the world walking through this cursed nightmare, bringing new light to the world.

Shortly after

[Lord of Light and Shadow] Passing through an archway made of giant fossilized ribs, the ground beneath their feet transformed from broken stone slabs into a semi-transparent gel-like substance filled with countless twisted black shadows.

As he approached, the substances seemed to come back to life, transforming into a large number of crows imprisoned in sewage, silently flapping their wings and taking flight. It was hard to imagine that these frozen crows still retained life at this moment; perhaps the cursed world possessed a special property of time, and the time of the sealed crows did not advance.

They were sealed away at that moment, and were only freed again when the Lord of Light and Shadow arrived.

A flock of crows circled around the Lord of Light and Shadow. These seemingly ordinary creatures were actually level 3 Boss monsters. They seemed to have found their master and spontaneously submitted and followed him.

Thus, the Lord of Light and Shadow gained new followers, who were also the original followers.

Black Crow

As they continued forward, a sweet, fishy smell gradually filled the air. Just as Ye Mingqiu passed a black boulder that was as smooth as a mirror but could not reflect any image, a petite figure appeared at the corner of the passage ahead.

It was a girl, probably thirteen or fourteen years old. She was wearing a white dress with some stains, barefoot, her face was pale and bloodless, and her black hair was disheveled.

Her eyes were filled with helpless tears, and she stood like a frightened fawn, casting a helpless and pleading gaze at the Lord of Light and Shadow.

The Lord of Light and Shadow walks over and transforms the distorted world into a real one; the laws of the world change because of his arrival.

"?"

The little girl's expression changed, her thin body trembled slightly, and she seemed even more helpless than before. What the hell is this monster?!

Why do I feel like you're even weirder than me?

【The Girl Seeking Help (Level 4 Monarch)】

She watched the flock of crows swirling and fluttering around the Lord of Light and Shadow, one small hand tightly gripping a rough-edged, worn-out wooden plank, the other hand clutching the hem of her skirt.

The endless starry sky hidden within the gray veil, the indescribable Him, had already filled the little girl with fear and made her tremble. Just standing there, she felt that she might die at any moment.

Suddenly, her body trembled violently, and fear almost overflowed from her eyes.

But she did not back down in the end. Instead, she mustered up the courage to move forward. This was not out of malice or fear, but driven by instinct.

The girl seeking help is one of the strange things in this world. She has her own logic and rules for doing things. She will kill anyone who refuses to help her, but as long as you help her, you will not be attacked.

The rules stemmed from her last obsession; the girl longed for help and mercy. After the Lord of Light and Shadow dispelled the world's curse, the girl's desire became even stronger.
