Chapter 262 Endless Darkness: The Gate to the Dead Country

Chapter 262 Endless Darkness: The Gate to the Dead Country
The forty-story tower.

This extremely special level hides the kingdom of the dead.

Every time Wen Xishu entered the scene, his consciousness would become blurred for a while, as if he was trapped in chaos.

Until he opened his eyes.

But this time, when Wen Xishu opened his eyes, everything around him was still in chaos.

He just felt as if he was walking in a quagmire.

His footsteps became very heavy, and every time Wen Xishu took a step, he had to lift his legs hard to avoid being stuck by the strange liquid under his feet.

Although this is a strange tower and he does not have the power of three phases and cannot use his ultimate kick, Wen Xishu's leg strength is indeed very strong.

"What the hell is this place?"

Black, endless black.

I can't see anything, but fortunately, even without relying on vision, the current magic resistance is enough for Wen Xishu to sense the surroundings.

There is endless emptiness all around.

There was nothing but this sticky liquid under my feet.

They blocked Wen Xishu's progress like mud.

Wen Xishu was a little confused.

In such an empty and dark world, he couldn't see anything and the only option was to keep moving forward, which made him feel a sense of fear in his heart.

Fear comes from the unknown.

Life and death are the most absolute laws, and this time my mission seems to be to reverse a person's life and death.

Bringing the dead back to the world of the living.

This seems impossible to accomplish. If this can be accomplished... then the killing between constellations will become a joke.

So Wen Xishu is actually a little afraid of any world related to death.

There are definitely only a handful of people who can explore this kind of world.

"Where am I? How long do I have to walk like this?"

There is a very simple and brutal form of punishment in this world, which is called solitary confinement. It locks people in a completely dark space where they cannot see anything. They are only depressed and gradually forget the time.

If this state lasts for a long time, you will begin to feel fear, terror, and madness.

four hours.

Wen Xishu had been walking in one direction in this dark place for four hours.

During this process, Wen Xishu also took out a compass...

But it's no use, the compass is here, it doesn't indicate anything.

He walked for more than four hours, more than two hundred and forty minutes, and more than fourteen thousand four hundred seconds.

In fact, Wen Xishu was not sure about these numbers. He just kept counting, counting with his own pace, to prevent himself from collapsing.

One step per second is enough to show how slow he is. More than 10,000 steps can actually go a very long way.

But Wen Xishu still couldn't see any "end".

Because of the darkness, and also because there is still endless sky here.

Even though he had experienced countless strange scenes, Wen Xishu still struggled at this moment.

"is it my fault?"

He became confused.

There is no vision, it is as dark as if you have closed your eyes. You can go in any direction.

If at this time, you question whether you have taken the wrong path, the pressure will be enormous.

Because it had been four hours and he couldn't see any clues.

And there are so many directions waiting for him. If this is the wrong road, then walking for four hours, wouldn’t it be even more wrong?

The world of the dead must be huge, even bigger than the world of the living.

Can I really walk through it?

Eleven hours later.

Wen Xishu's will began to weaken, and he even thought that the answer might not be ahead.

But below.

Just lie down and let the black slime swallow you. Maybe there is a world with light underneath?

He actually did so, but what was strange was that the black mucus did intend to swallow Wen Xishu at first, and Wen Xishu also felt it sinking...

But soon, he was pushed up by another force.

He can even touch the "bottom".

The black liquid seemed to refuse to swallow him, but simply hindered his walking.

It was only eleven hours, so Wen Xishu was naturally not in despair.

But Wen Xishu was no longer calm as he couldn't see any clues or possibilities.

"Damn it. How do we crack this place?"

"Is it possible that I have to stay here for seven days?"

"bother."

There is no meaning, no echo can be heard, the surroundings are empty, yet also vast.

This was the first time Wen Xishu encountered such a situation.

It’s like you are playing a game in which you control a car and drive it forward. The scenery around you is always the same, you can’t see any vehicles, and the scenery in front of you never changes.

You can't even be sure if your car is really running?
This is what Wen Xishu is like now.

He even doubted himself: "Am I really walking in a straight line?"

Studies have shown that when you close your eyes, your steps tend to make a circle.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but wonder if he was drawing a weird circle.

Twenty-three hours later, his mentality was severely damaged.

But even so, Wen Xishu still kept walking in a straight line, at least... in the straight line he imagined.

He still couldn't see anything and was at a loss as to what to do with this place.

Scorpion Knife has created portals in many places...

But perhaps this place was too big, and he never saw the portal.

He was also a little tired.

For the first time, Wen Xishu began to think about the taste of food. He had eaten a lot of good food.

But now, he began to crave the compressed biscuits he had when he was executed.

round-the-clock.

Wen Xishu was lying on the ground and fell asleep.

In the dream, Wen Xishu returned to his original world, and all the people in the bunker appeared in their original world, but their identities had changed.

Albert became an old bachelor, but a cool old bachelor.

Yue Yun is a basketball player and Nissen is a DJ.

The dream soon ended.

Wen Xishu opened his eyes...

It has been twenty-seven hours since I arrived at the 40th floor of the Strange Tower.

He slept only three hours.

Normally, after entering the world of the strange tower, Wen Xishu could grasp the essence of it in just a few hours.

But now, after almost thirty hours, he was trapped in an endless space... and began to doubt himself and deny himself.

Finally, Wen Xishu took out the competition horn.

He hadn't gone crazy yet, but his mental state was a little bad, because this environment seemed to contain some kind of power that made people upset.

Wen Xishu quickly calmed himself down.

"Let go of those distracting thoughts, don't rush... don't rush, calm down."

"I can definitely solve the puzzle."

"The current situation is that I received a question and I have to solve it, but the strange thing is that there is nothing written on the question, just an infinitely large piece of white paper."

"I kept looking for the questions on the white paper. After all, I had to know the questions before I could solve them."

"But the more I searched, the more I thought... why is this piece of paper so big? This blank piece of paper where the title should be written seems to be infinitely large."

"To the point that I don't even know if the question really exists." Wen Xishu slapped his face, making a loud slapping sound.

"With my physique, I can really wait here for seven days without any problem. So don't be impatient..."

Since you can’t find the question, just write one down on a piece of white paper.

Wen Xishu thought so and used the competition horn. After touching the competition horn.

Wen Xishu only felt a sacred breath pouring into his body. Then the following words appeared in his mind.

[This round of competition is: The hero fights the devil. The "devil" has been constructed. The devil will hunt down the hero. The devil will have the ability to sense the hero's location and will hunt down the hero at all costs.]

[The first way for the brave to win: avoid the devil for more than 72 hours. ]

[The second way for the hero to win: Imprison the Demon King. ]

[The third way for the hero to win: kill the devil. ]

[The reward will be related to the winning method, and killing the devil will get the biggest reward. ]

[The competition begins. All creatures in the Obsession World are eligible to participate in this round.]

【Because the holder has the "Golden Horn", he will gain competitive profit. 】

[Competitive Assistance: Compared to other contestants, you will gain the Demon King's Vision. ]

Wen Xishu was happy.

OK, now there is a question on the white paper. No matter how big the white paper is, where do you hide the question?

Now it’s not the only thing I have to answer.

At least now, I am no longer the only one in this space.

Even if there was one more enemy, Wen Xishu felt that his mental state had improved significantly as long as he was no longer alone.

In particular, Wen Xishu also noticed that he could now actively activate a new skill.

The devil's vision.

"It seems that once it is turned on, I can also see what the devil can see?"

Wen Xishu decided to give it a try.

He closed his eyes, and soon some strange energy began to appear on his body, turning into a faint purple halo.

Wen Xishu opened his eyes.

His pupils changed, becoming vertical pupils like those of a wild beast.

And the scene in front of my eyes was no longer pitch black.

But endless magma.

Countless things with human outlines, but somewhat illusory and transparent like ghosts, kept wailing in the magma.

The devil should be flying in the sky.

The demon king seemed to be quite intelligent, and he quickly frowned:
"Hell? Why the hell are you here?"

Wen Xishu was very curious about the level of the demon king created by the competition corner.

Did you recognize that this was hell at first glance?

"Asshole, you actually use the competition horn to hold a competition in a place like this. Why can a dead person use such a thing?"

"No... Could it be that the living have come to the kingdom of the dead?"

When the devil thought of this, he felt frightened.

"Are all the challengers now at this limit?"

The sea of ​​fire formed by the magma boiled countless innocent souls. This scene was indeed hellish.

The demon king dodged the lava several times with incredible agility.

Although Wen Xishu could not see from a third-person perspective, he could still feel the speed of the Demon King through the speed of space transformation from a first-person perspective.

Soon, Red House level.

Wen Xishu thought that since he couldn't get out anyway, he might as well see how the Demon King would break the impasse.

The current scene is a huge circular "magma pool".

At the top of the sky, there were some magic array-like things. After observing them for a while, the Demon King did not crash into them directly.

Next, something happened that left Wen Xishu dumbfounded.

Some words appeared in the Demon King's sight.

[Do you want to start space deconstruction? ]

This is just like the words that often appear in Wen Xishu's eyes - whether to use the Crazy Dice.

This demon king has this ability?

I have to say that in the events created by Taurus, the Demon King actually has a very high gold content.

This is not a competition built by the Land of Obsession, this is a pure competition built by Taurus.

In other words – the dealer is very strong.

[Space Deconstruction is open - Number of contestants: 1. ]

[The distance between the contestant and you is infinite. There are differences in spatial dimensions.]

[Analysis of the current area: Lava Hell, a type of elemental hell. It is recommended to leave the hell area as soon as possible. You can try to use blood to leave this area. ]

Absolutely.

Wen Xishu could only say, damn, are you cheating?
How is this still playing?
Can you forcibly analyze the space and directly obtain the distance between yourself and the contestants?

You are already a demon king, and you are still driving? This does not mean that you have crushed me in attributes, but also in technology.

Wen Xishu really wanted to say: Just turn it off, it’s boring.

But he had to admit that now he was all dependent on the Demon King, who had given him a lot of information.

"It makes sense that the Demon King was assigned to Hell. Now the Demon King's mission is to escape Hell."

"But what is my mission?"

"The only textual reminder is that the Demon King and I are not in the same space, so the distance between the Demon King and me is infinite..."

"In other words, I did waste a day... No matter which way I go, I can't meet the Demon King."

"The area I am in might really be an infinite area."

"But why?"

Wen Xishu began to sort out all the clues.

"I am alive."

"There is only one way for the living to enter the world of the dead, and that is to die."

"But because of the Weird Tower, I can enter the world of the dead as a living person."

"The Weird Tower is a place of obsession, and a place of obsession can construct countless rules..."

"But the rules of life and death are absolute. If the absolutes of life and death are broken... then it will be like Dragon Ball, where no one can feel bad when they die."

Wen Xishu likes Dragon Ball very much, but when he watched Dragon Ball before, he only felt excited and passionate, but not moved at all.

After all, anyone who dies can be resurrected.

The price of death is just a halo, and everything else seems to be no different from being a living person.

Even a dead person can beat Majin Buu.

He thought of Albert's silent sadness again. The death of Mr. King, the death of countless tower climbers in the bunker...

These are things that cannot be changed. It is precisely because death is an absolute farewell that makes us cherish the fact of being alive.

The obsession of the Land of Obsession only transported oneself to the place closest to the dead...

But it is not the real world of the dead. No matter how strong the obsession of the world of obsession is, even the constellations have to obey it...

But it is difficult for such an obsession to break through the barrier of life and death. Those so-called resurrections only bring people back to life at the moment of death, not long after death.

"This is the border between life and death. There is an endless space here, which makes every living person lost. In the end, only after death... maybe they can truly enter."

"In other words, I can't get in."

"But the spooky tower should have a correction mechanism. If the gate is blocked... the spooky tower should be able to repair it, right?"

Thinking about the mission description I had read not long ago, it seemed that the Ghost Tower was certain that it could bring tower climbers into the world of the dead.

But how to do it?
This absolutely dark, boundless chaotic world is like a wall. As long as you cross this wall, you can enter the world of the dead.

Wen Xishu suddenly thought:
"That's not right... If I can't enter the world of the dead, why can Taurus's competitive horn?"

"The environment where the Demon King is located is a magma hell. That place seems to be a place where dead people stay no matter how you look at it."

Wen Xishu began to think again:
"What is the difference between me and the Demon King?"
