Point of difference doom

Chapter 118 117: The real stranger

Several days passed in succession.

During these days, Xingmeng Wuchang investigated and found that Zhou Baiyu's former colleague was dead.

He met Li Ping's parents, asked relevant staff, and finally learned that the body had been bitten by insects.

This makes Xingmeng Wu Chang very uncomfortable.

At the end, this woman wanted to see Zhou Baiyu. It turned out to be not a conspiracy, but she knew that she was about to die and wanted to see the person she missed in her heart.

In the past few days, Xing Meng Wuchang and He Guang Tongchen were waiting for Zhou Baiyu to come back.

Constantine and Ling Hansu successfully completed the recruitment and returned to their stronghold.

But because Zhou Baiyu never showed up, everyone was in a bad mood.

"Think about it carefully. Except for the first trial, it seems that every time he goes to a place, he completes the task on the same day?"

"The Gu Tower is like this, the cruise ship is like this, while I was racking my brains in the lunatic asylum, he had already gotten through directly in the second hour..."

"The first trial may be to stay for seven days, but this time... Jiang Xianwu said that his mission is not to survive."

"And now, five days have passed. After five days, there is no news from him."

Constantine and Zhou Baiyu were not familiar with each other, so he said something that made everyone extremely vigilant:

"We still have a Demon King in our team. But if Stephen Zhou doesn't come back...it's hard to say whether this Demon King can still be considered a teammate of ours."

"In the past few days, that weird... weirdly beautiful girl has been getting increasingly irritable. If there wasn't a little monster comforting her by her side, I feel like she might go berserk at any time."

Zhang Haoyun.

When Constantine mentioned Zhang Haoyun, He Guang Tongchen frowned. He thought he could comfort him for a while, but only for a while.

Xing Meng Wu Chang was even more concerned about Zhang Haoyun.

If Zhou Baiyu can't come back...

Can everyone deceive her about Zhou Baiyu going on a mission? If so, how long can it be deceived? If she finally discovers the scam or learns the truth, will it break out again?

The legendary forerunner is as light as the dust and the waking dream is impermanent. This is the first time that he feels that his existence is meaningless...

They now realize that the reality is so outrageous.

Zhou Baiyu is like a gatekeeper who imprisons Zhang Haoyun's corrupt side.

Now that the gatekeeper is missing... Zhang Haoyun may lose control at any time.

Ling Hansu was also very uncomfortable and kept comforting himself that Brother Zhou would be fine.

She was a peeper, so she naturally spent advance points and went to the transfer station to peek...

But the news she brought was more desperate.

"There is no sound, no picture... I am so useless, I can't see anything. When I peeked at Brother Zhou's side, I found that there was only darkness. It felt like there was only nothingness."

After Ling Hansu took a peek, he felt somewhat guilty.

She didn't know that there was only darkness in that place.

The snow demon's peek, coupled with the fact that Zhou Baiyu hadn't appeared for a long time.

This led to people's expectations for Zhou Baiyu's successful return to continue to decrease.

After all, it seems that no one who has gone to the Lightless Country has come back alive.

…

…

A land without light.

In the dark dreamland, Zhou Baiyu blended in for several days, and finally gradually mastered the "vision of the night."

He was surprised to find... In fact, everyone has light.

It's just that these lights are extremely dim, as if they don't exist at all.

Zhou Baiyu had a conversation with A Duo in the past few days.

"So everyone still has hope hidden in their hearts. All expectations for life are sources of light, right? I see that everyone still has some light."

Yun Duo replied:

"It's not that there are people without despair...Jiang Xianwu, once people completely lose hope, they will choose death. But death in dreams is not relief. Death here will only simply experience pain."

"Those who are truly desperate live like zombies. No matter the pain or the torture of nightmares, it is meaningless."

"There are many people like this. They fell into absolute darkness and moved towards the other side of the lightless country... God has completely controlled them. They are called dark species."

"When you emit light, people will still avoid you because they have no hope and only have the last instinct engraved in biological genes, the desire to survive."

"We just want to live, and we can live without light. Rotting in the darkness day after day, that's all. We don't need to be redeemed or gain light..."

"There will be no moon in the sky. Don't make any worthless promises to us, don't invite us to chase anything illusory."

"The endless night is dark and eternal. Just living in the darkness is our only hope. This is the most humble light. Darkness will not destroy us, but light will."

"If you want to be friends with us, then you have to learn to restrain your blindness. You are doing very well now. I guess... it must be painful in the night sea, right? So don't let everyone feel such pain."

Zhou Baiyu was greatly shocked by Yun Duo's long words.

This is the advance world.

It was his first time to come into contact with such a large group of humans in the advance world, and it was only at this moment that he finally understood how humans would live in the post-apocalyptic era.

In the endless darkness, waiting for the decay day after day...

How desperate.

Even so, it seems that we still have to live, because everyone here knows that the pain will never end.

When you think this is the most painful life, those nightmares in the night sea will definitely break your cognition.

Many people eventually lost hope completely and became zombie-like dark species, arranged by Yong Ye to go to the other side.

But there are more people who survive with humble light.

They seemed to have fallen into darkness, but if you look carefully, you will find that there is still an extremely weak light on them that can hardly illuminate anything.

This is the will to live that exists in all living things.

It is also the minimum light allowed by the Night Demon in the eternal night. If it is any brighter, it will be tortured by nightmares.

This conversation made Zhou Baiyu feel depressed these days.

In the past few days, it is not that there is no good news. In order to leave here, Zhou Baiyu has been trying to find ways to get familiar with the people around him and get to know the pioneers.

Fortunately, Zhou Baiyu really found one.

This person's name is Xinkui, he is an alienator and an extremely passionate young man, at least he used to be.

Her real age was only four months younger than Zhou Baiyu. When Zhou Baiyu found Xinkui, Xinkui was lying on the bed with an expressionless face.

He has been in such a place for several years. There is no concept of time, only a world of absolute darkness. A few years is probably as long as centuries.

There was once a multiple-choice question - if you were given one trillion, but you were required to live forever in a deserted place for ten million years, would you be willing?

Probably Xinkui's feeling was like staying in one place for ten million years, no, it was endless and there was no end in sight. No matter how long he stayed, there would still be a longer time waiting for him in the future.

When Zhou Baiyu found Xinkui, Xinkui ignored Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu talked about many things. Forerunners, saving the world, regaining the faith to live - but none of them are meaningful.

Even though she was as powerful as Zhou Baiyu and had the characteristics of a speaker, Xinkui still didn't react at all.

However, after Zhou Baiyu leaves, Xinkui will be very frightened. He will slap himself crazily.

Let the pain wake you up.

"I'm no longer a Forerunner! I can't go back to Songjiang City! I'm just garbage, a garbage waiting to rot and become a dark seed!"

"Don't be fooled by the newcomer! I don't want to see the nightmare above the night sea again!"

Zhou Baiyu's words actually had a great impact on Xinkui.

But Xinkui is afraid.

In his memory, there were still many people he wanted to protect, but he suppressed it and did not let himself miss these people. He made himself as numb as possible to everything.

Because only in this way can we not shine.

Only in this way can we not be destroyed by the nightmare in the night sea.

He never wanted to experience that dream of destroying everything again.

However, Zhou Baiyu did not intend to give up on this alienator just like that.

Day one.

Zhou Baiyu failed to visit Xinkui and didn't ask anything from Xinkui.

the next day.

Xinkui glared at Zhou Baiyu angrily. After Zhou Baiyu left, Xinkui started to cry loudly.

The third day.

Zhou Baiyu continued to lobby Xinkui, saying that he didn't need Xinkui to help him, he only needed to know the information.

But Xinkui drove Zhou Baiyu away like crazy. But deep down, Xinkui was very confused——

How ambitious does this guy who calls himself Jiang Xianwu keep lobbying him?

In such a dream, why did he dare to look forward to the future?

Where is the light in him?

Wouldn't he be destroyed by sea monsters in the night sea?

Xinkui gradually became curious.

But on the fifth day, Zhou Baiyu didn't see Xinkui. On this day, Zhou Baiyu did something that took a lot of energy.

It was the same on the sixth day, because Zhou Baiyu was not satisfied with the things on the fifth day, so he continued to modify them.

On the seventh day, Xinkui thought Jiang Xianwu had given up. But on this day, he was persuaded by Jiang Xianwu.

Zhou Baiyu directly prepared a trump card. On this day, Zhou Baiyu came to Xinkui's door, but Xinkui shut him up.

Zhou Baiyu was not in a hurry and said slowly through the door:

"I will not lobby you anymore. I also promise you that I will never harass you from now on, and I will not ask for any information from you."

"I only need you to do one thing, go sit in my house. Believe me, you will definitely be very happy after you go there, and you will definitely believe that you will start to encounter good things."

"If I don't go, I might consider chanting your name constantly when facing the nightmare in the night sea..."

There is no point in inducements. No one believes that good things will happen in this place.

But intimidation does work, and Zhou Baiyu's lack of martial ethics finally made Xinkui shaken.

Anyway, there is absolutely no way I would consider leaving here, and I definitely don’t believe that anyone can save me...

He hinted to himself like this, for fear that he would have a little extra light in his body.

Zhou Baiyu finally took the alienated person Xinkui and went to his house.

Because it is the eternal dream of Night Demon, in fact, everyone looks the same to Yong Ye.

Naturally, everyone's residence is also simple and crude.

Zhou Baiyu's house looks a little more shabby than Xinkui's. The previous owner of this house has become a dark species.

Xinkui didn't understand Zhou Baiyu's intention until... he activated the talent of the alienator and saw Zhou Baiyu's bed.

"Painting seems meaningless to alienated people, so I still have to let you see something practical." Zhou Baiyu pointed to his bed. The durability is 11/11.

Xinkui didn't expect that what Jiang Xianwu said was true. As long as she came to this room and took a look, she would understand what was going on.

"This...how on earth is this done? This is simply a work of art!"

In Zhou Baiyu's eyes, the name of the item is - [Youth will never dream of the glowing forerunner.]

In Xinkui's eyes, the item's name is much more serious - [Good Dream Bed.]

A sentence in the item introduction made Xinkui immediately realize the value of this thing here - if you dream wildly, you will not enter the night sea until the durability is exhausted.

"Art...this is art! Why can you do it?"

Zhou Baiyu spread his hands:

"I thought this should be the standard equipment for our aliens? Let's get to know each other again. I am a second-level alien, Jiang Xianwu. I belong to the Baichuan Refuge Guild."

The reason why I specifically emphasized the guild is because Zhou Baiyu remembered that He Guang Tongchen said that there was also someone from the Baichuan Guild who entered the recruitment of Endless Night and was an alienator.

The reason why Zhou Baiyu judged that Xin Kui was an alienated person was because when he looked at Xin Kui's house, he found that the house was durable.

In other words, Xinkui has been alienating items.

Zhou Baiyu found it very strange, although he thought that this bed would make Xinkui like it, so he analyzed the needs based on the environment, and then created the needs to suit her needs.

The eloquence is only superficial. Every time Zhou Baiyu persuades the other party, he actually shows his actual value.

However, Xinkui's reaction was still a bit too big.

"Standard configuration? I'm not like that. I just want to talk about the god of bullshit difference and chaos. He must be the most rubbish Gou Yagami among the nine old gods, right?"

Zhou Baiyu also experienced this kind of psychological activity. But later, Zhou Baiyu slowly changed his view of this god.

But he doesn’t deny——

This profession is really a scam. I can say that I have been very European and cheated all the way.

But what about other aliens?

The recruitment path for other alienated people may be a different story.

"When I first entered here, I wanted to leave here because I thought I could be alienated..."

"That was the first day. The light I emitted that day could probably illuminate a large area nearby...but the next day I didn't dare to shine anymore."

"I will continue to enter the night sea from now on. Do you know that no matter whether you have light or not, you will continue to enter the night sea for a long time after you come here to face those monsters..."

"I...can't remember what it feels like to have a truly comfortable sleep."

"We don't actually exist. Here, the more desperate people are, the thinner they become. Do you believe me when I tell you that I used to weigh one hundred and sixty pounds?"

Xinkui gradually talked more and more.

This is a good thing, it shows that he is gradually letting go of his defenses.

As an alienator, although he knew that this profession was a scam, he was able to survive several conscriptions. To some extent, Xinkui still managed to alienate a few positive items.

So he knew very well - the only reliable thing about this unreliable god is that the description is at least accurate.

The description says that this item can make you have good dreams, so it will definitely make you have good dreams.

On this day, Zhou Baiyu exchanged rooms with Xinkui.

He was very curious, didn't Xinkui mutate something that could help him get rid of the nightmare?

But later Zhou Baiyu discovered that this was the cognitive bias of survivors.

Not to mention the items that Xinkui mutated, the initial deviation rate is 99%, and there are only five times a day... and in this case, even five times may not be possible.

Even if a positive alienation item is alienated, it may make sleeping more comfortable, or the toughness of the bed may be increased... something that may seem like positive alienation but is actually of little use.

The most frightening thing is that the essence of alienation is the same as drawing cards, with hope and expectation.

These hopes and expectations are fatal in dreams.

Time and time again, I tried to alienate myself with full hope, but the result was that I was ravaged by the giant beasts of the deep sea in the night sea...

Who can withstand this? Over time, whenever Xinkui thinks of alienation, she will instinctively reject it.

That's why after Zhou Baiyu finished the finished product, Xinkui reacted so strongly and said bluntly that it was a work of art.

…

…

The next day.

When Zhou Baiyu talked face-to-face with Xinkui again, Xinkui's attitude towards Zhou Baiyu changed even more dramatically——

"Brother Jiang, Dad! Dad Jiang! Let me live here with you! Let's exchange houses! Please! Please!"

"I... woo woo... dreamed about my parents yesterday. They gave me a lot of delicious food... Do you have a wife? Do you have children? In the dream, I had a wife with a chubby face.

Damn, she is so cute!"

"I can't live without this bed! I can't live without it! Do you know how I have lived these years?"

Zhou Baiyu found it funny, but also felt that the people here were pitiful from the bottom of his heart.

In these days, he also continued to enter the night sea and was tortured.

But in the end, when the light completely dissipates, he is protected by the necklace of waking dreams.

Although in the dream, all the props are gone, the necklace of Sudden Dream is still worn on the body. When entering the dream, even if it is a dream within a dream, it still protects oneself.

So even though I was tortured every night, I always kept the fire before I completely despaired.

Then when he woke up the next day, Zhou Baiyu was full of fighting spirit again.

But others are not so lucky.

Even the alienated person Xin Kui cannot withstand such torture.

So after experiencing a "sweet dream", Xinkui completely broke her guard.

The desperate dreams again and again only let him know that he was suffering now.

He also cried secretly.

But despair and pain only made him grit his teeth and bear it, but beauty and light were what truly broke his defenses completely.

Xinkui almost knelt down and begged Zhou Baiyu.

After a long time, Zhou Baiyu calmed down the good-hearted Kui. After all, he had done the job of being a close friend many times.

When Xinkui completely returned to normal, he no longer hid her, and he knew almost everything about Zhou Baiyu.

At the same time, he also asked a lot of questions and showed a desire for the outside world.

When emotions are ups and downs, people will have the desire to talk. What they fear most is to remain tense all the time.

Zhou Baiyu knew that he had spent a long time here, but he might not be able to leave for a while, so he was very patient.

Basically, whatever Xinkui wants to know, he will be satisfied.

"How is our president doing now? Let me tell you, Brother Jiang, I have always admired our president... His sword is the envy of everyone in the world."

Zhou Baiyu couldn't help but laugh. The knife was in his hand. If this kid woke up, he would probably be very envious.

But he didn't know if he could wake up, so he didn't dare to give people false hope.

He just said:

"I have seen that everything is fine with the president. Not long ago, the president cleared a madhouse in version 2.30 and became friends with a stranger in the guild."

"The two teamed up and passed two special modes, one endless mode and one friendly mode. It can be said to be very legendary."

Xinkui is interested:

"Is there such a master in our union? An alienator?"

"Yes, a character who appeared recently was discovered by the president's keen eye, and Tian Xia Wu Er was also rushing to get it. When you go out, I will introduce you..."

After saying the last sentence, Zhou Baiyu suddenly felt a little regretful. It was hard to say whether he could go out.

Fortunately, Xinkui's interest is elsewhere at the moment:

"The alienated person who can help each other with the president... It seems that it's not the profession that is weak, it's me that is weak..."

No, believe me, if you can persevere in such a ghost place without turning into a dark species, you are already strong.

This cheating profession is very weak.

Zhou Baiyu complained in his heart.

Xinkui pulled Zhou Baiyu and kept talking about the legendary stranger who was just like the president.

"What does it feel like to be a succubus... I'm so envious."

"Gu Tower? That Gu Tower where no newcomers can come back alive? Awesome!"

"It's a pity that I can't get out... I really want to meet this big shot."

"Is it a grand gathering of demons? He killed so many demon kings by himself?"

"Absolute moment? Sister Lin said it! This is one of the strongest abilities of the alienator! It's great!"

"The real world has also been distorted? Ah... He is really too strong to be able to defeat the Demon King class faster than Tian Xia Wu Er and the others. There are also such powerful people among us alienators!"

"Sister Lin will probably be proactive and enthusiastic when she sees her, right? I seem to have never seen Sister Lin smile at me..."

This last sentence made Zhou Baiyu feel a little uncomfortable for no reason.

But it has to be said that Zhou Baiyu still feels that Xinkui is very kind, and this is the first alienated person he knows.

When I take you out, I will tell you who the alienated person is.

Zhou Baiyu silently promised in his heart.

In this place, all promises can be made only at the moment they are fulfilled.

Bringing expectations and hopes to others is tantamount to hurting others.

Night Demon Eternal Night has equated hope with pain, causing the people here to gradually become deformed and twisted.

Zhou Baiyu took a deep breath:

"If you still want to know what's going on outside, just ask me. I also know Xingmeng Wuchang, and I know many people..."

"By the way, there are many interesting things in the real world."

"You can ask me anyway, but Xinkui, I also have questions to ask you. Don't worry, I won't make you do anything crazy, but I need to know if anything has happened to you for so long.

?”

"Do you know some information...such as how to get out of here?"

Zhou Baiyu started to talk about the main topic.

Xinkui no longer has anything to hide this time:

"A few years ago, there was a person here... who brought hope to everyone. He escaped from a dream and woke up once..."

Xinkui dropped a bombshell in just one sentence.

Zhou Baiyu asked:

"How did he escape from the dream?"

Xinkui's tone was sad:

"His name is Jin Yi. He told everyone that there must be a moon in this world, and he would take everyone to see the moon... He is really a very passionate person. At that time, he and Yun Duo convinced everyone

Everybody here.”

"He said that God is afraid of light, so he wants to take light away from everyone. God is also afraid of everyone waking up. As long as we wake up and let the light shine... God will become weak."

"His remarks are crazy, but he really has that infectious power and seems to be able to convince everyone."

"Everyone absolutely trusted him and believed that what he said was true, so everyone began to recall the beautiful things in life..."

"Everyone is arousing hope little by little, regaining hope, and finally mustering up the courage... to entrust everything to Jin Yi."

"The Kingdom of Light at that moment was simply like the Kingdom of Light... Huge light converged on Jin Yi's body, causing Jin Yi to wake up."

"I happened to see it at that time, and I was thinking... maybe it takes the light of many people to converge on one person to make that person wake up."

"The night devil keeps taking away everyone's light just to prevent anyone from waking up."

"Jin Yi did it... Unfortunately, he was only able to wake up."

"Everyone was excited as they watched Jin Yi's figure disappear little by little under the light, thinking that Jin Yi had really left the Land of Light."

"But then...Jin Yi came back soon."

Zhou Baiyu was stunned.

Xinkui sighed:

"He woke up, but after waking up, he was still faced with a dark night, and under the dark night, he was quickly hypnotized..."

"So he entered a dream again and returned to the Kingdom of Light. All his efforts were turned into ashes..."

"The nightmares in the Lightless Country finally know that these people still have so much light hidden in their bodies. The nightmares are both scared and excited."

Zhou Baiyu noticed the key point - he could understand being afraid, so why was he still excited?

"Nightmares need light?"

"Yes...it is said that one must constantly absorb people's light to activate a treasure for the masters of nightmares, that is, gods. This treasure can turn reality into illusion and reality into dreams..."

"These are all collected when I still had hope...but in fact they are of no use. I know they can't change anything."

The god of nightmares and nothingness!

Zhou Baiyu's eyes widened and he looked at Xinkui in surprise...

What an amazing alienator! You can get such information!

At this time, Zhou Baiyu finally knew why Yong Ye imprisoned these people.

It is activating the treasures of the gods! Complete the divine gift through the treasures of the gods!

Create a world of nothingness.

"Jin Yi returned to the dreamland, and was tortured alive into a night seed... In the end, Jin Yi became a part of the night. This was the punishment given to him by the night demon. He became a part of the night and stared at these inescapable creatures forever.

people."

"And all those who trusted Jin Yi and plucked up the courage to shine for Jin Yi... were all severely squeezed."

"Some people have become dark species, and some people are still alive, but their bodies in the dream are as thin as ghosts..."

"Everyone collapsed...completely collapsed..."

"Brother Jiang, there will never be such an opportunity again. There will never be anyone who can convince everyone like Jin Yi..."

"No one can wake up again, and when they wake up, they will fall asleep again because they face the dark night!"

"Don't think about escaping from here, just guard your memories. What you can recall will be your only wealth here!"

Zhou Baiyu was silent for a long time.

He could imagine how dazzling that boy who firmly believed that there was a moon in the world was at the moment when he aroused everyone's hope...

He could imagine how much everyone looked forward to that young man's shining moment.

Yes... nothing like this will happen again.

There will never be anyone like Kim Eul who can gain everyone's trust.

And these people...can they really still shine?

After experiencing the brutal suppression of the Night Demon, do they still dare to shine?

"Don't have unnecessary hopes... The current situation is like an iron house with no windows and is extremely difficult to destroy. We are all sleeping people. We don't feel the sorrow of death. Death may be a relief for us.

.But we...are afraid of being woken up!"

What a dark world.

In a lightless country, tens of thousands of people lose the light of life forever, just to create a god in the dark night?

Zhou Baiyu's heart was filled with emotions.

It is necessary to collect enough light and gather it in one place to wake a person up.

And after waking up, it is very likely that you will fall into sleep again immediately...

Because when I wake up, I still face the dark night.

He recalled that it was because he was transported into the night, and then fell asleep by the rules of the night...

That's why he appeared here.

This is indeed an iron house without windows and almost indestructible.

But is it really impossible to destroy?

"What if I wake up...and immediately turn my watch to drive away the darkness?"

Zhou Baiyu walked out of the house, raised his head and stared at the thick night.

It was as if he was looking at Jin Yi who had become part of the night.

The loser who resisted the Night Demon a few years ago, and the person who challenged the Night Demon again a few years later, seemed to be connected at this moment.

In the night vision, Xinkui saw Zhou Baiyu's back...

After hearing such a despairing history, this Jiang Xianwu... actually glowed faintly.

Yes, the scorching light can hardly even be covered by the smoke of the necklace.

At this moment, Zhou Baiyu looked at the night sky and made the same sound as Jin Yi did back then:

"I will definitely take you to see the moon!"
