This village is just like the Ninth Mental Hospital that Bai Wu experienced - it once had many people, but in the end all the resentment of these people was absorbed - forming an unprecedentedly powerful monster.
Although in the Ninth Mental Hospital, there is not only Hong Yin but also Elijah.
Another difference from the Ninth Mental Hospital is that once you enter this place, you will be forcibly dragged into the spiritual world of the aggregate.
Because it absorbed most of Hong Yin's power, this area is more perverted than the mental hospital.
"This is a world formed by consciousness carriers. Does this mean that I and the other people who came in are actually somewhere in the village, in a coma?"
Hong Yin nodded, and with a wave of her little hand, the scene in the mirror immediately changed.
Bai Wu saw himself, the captain, Cain, Liu Hu, Yan Zizai, and Xie Xingzhi all unconscious in different places.
In other words, the strongest team in the tower was wiped out from the moment they entered the red zone.
The black resentment wrapped around everyone's body, and everyone looked in pain.
Even Yan Zizai, who was almost immune to negative emotions, seemed to be in pain, because being almost immune did not mean being completely immune.
Wujiu, Xie Xingzhi, Yan Zizai, and Liu Hu were all feeling the breath of death and experiencing the despair of different people in the village.
Liu Hu was the worst off. He was in a near-death state and his body began to show signs of deformation.
Of course, there are two exceptions, Cain and White Mist.
Although he also fell into a coma and was gradually enveloped by resentment, Bai Wu was as calm as ever. Cain's condition was even more exaggerated. His expression was crazy, as if he was in some unstable state.
At this moment, Cain had sunk to the bottom of the lake, dragged into the mud by the arms transformed from resentment.
In the second scene, Cain plays the role of the village chief, a very important role that can determine the attitudes of the villagers.
But Cain didn't care about these. He also guessed that he was in the brain of a monster. If he wanted to get out, he had to wait for a certain opportunity.
As long as he got out first, Wujiu and Baiwu were still in a coma, which was like fish on a crust for him.
Jiang Xuan, played by Cain, should have turned evil at this time, but although he is not immune to all kinds of evil things, he has a twisted affinity.
This is what is most special about Cain and the White Mist.
In the second act, everyone ends up in the same way after turning the tide or making a choice—feeling pain and despair.
59. Xie Xingzhi and Yan Zizai will eventually find that what they have done is completely meaningless.
Their ending can only be the same as that of all the people who sank into the lake, constantly giving rise to despair and resentment, and eventually becoming part of the evil thoughts.
But the white fog does not possess negative emotions such as despair, sadness, fear, and resentment.
Cain did have some emotions, and they were very rich. He would feel fear, hatred, and anger. He would resist the unknown... and would instinctively seek life and avoid death.
But if everything is unavoidable and the negative emotions reach a certain threshold, Cain will instead get pleasure.
As the only known human being who has been to the sixth level, although this body limits most of Cain's power, he has not used up all of his trump cards.
…
…
Bai Wu thought about it and felt relieved. This was definitely a trick taken by the goddess of luck.
He always thought that his 100% difficulty +1 physical fitness was ineffective in the red area.
After all, the span between the red area and the black area is too large. Can the red area turn into the black area just because of bad luck? And Hong Yin is also in this area, so everyone just needs to hold on to her thighs. How can the flying dragon ride on the face turn black
But what I never expected was... Hong Yin's power was absorbed.
The red zone has slowly reached its limit. If evil completely devours good, a monster at the black zone level may be born.
The aggregate is divided into two forces, good and evil, which are opposites.
Hong Yin was once divided into two forces, good and evil. However, the good and evil in Hong Yin's body... although they were different in many ways, with evil advocating killing and good advocating protection, good and evil were not opposites.
The resentment that Hong Yin absorbed came from those who were grateful to her.
Although the kind-hearted Hong Yin is extremely weak compared to the evil thoughts in the "balloon", those evil thoughts are willing to give the dominant power to Hong Yin.
There were times when Hong Yin couldn't control them, but that didn't happen often.
The village is different. The monster in Zao Lake is the complete opposite of good and evil. There are too many people’s grievances mixed here, and those who sank to the bottom of the lake hate everything.
Some of them were desperate about the village and thus developed resentment, while others were as greedy and evil as the witch. These things mixed together formed an evil that advocated the complete destruction of good intentions.
After Hong Yin arrived, she also experienced the first and second scenes like Bai Wu. However, she was evil and not in a hurry like Bai Wu, so she lived here all the time and was eventually deceived by the witch.
Those evil thoughts, which sometimes get out of control, merge with the evil thoughts of the aggregate.
This incident actually happened just a few days ago when Bai Wu sought Hong Yin's help, and Hong Yin's power had not yet been taken away.
Bai Wu said:
"If we can't wake up? Does that mean we can't defeat it?"
Hong Yin lowered her head, looking very uncomfortable:
"Brother... I shouldn't have asked you to help me. Now there is no way for you to leave... Unless, unless you completely devour them."
"How does the resentment of the patients in the Ninth Mental Hospital compare to the resentment in the lake?"
"Originally, I could help them defeat their evil thoughts..."
Bai Wu thought about it and realized that this meant that Hong Yin’s combat power at his peak was enough to fight against this monster.
If we can draw back the resentment of those in the Ninth Hospital... maybe we can still fight.
Bai Wu couldn't swallow these grievances, not because he couldn't digest them, but... he didn't have the ability to do so.
The reason why he asked Hong Yin this question was that he planned to let Hong Yin absorb the resentment in the end, and at the same time evaluate whether Hong Yin would have the possibility of going out of control after absorbing the resentment.
Of course... Bai Wu was very optimistic, because the biggest possibility was that he, Hong Yin captain Cain, and the three members of the monitoring team were all absorbed.
There is no need to continue the story at this point. Now Bai Wu wants to know how to break the impasse.
Since they are just conscious beings, they naturally cannot use the return wheel to escape.
Besides, Hong Yin’s condition is very bad, and Bai Wu will not abandon her.
"So in the current situation, I can only deal with it in its spiritual world?"
Hong Yin said:
"Yes... This is the worst situation. If you were not dragged into this world, you might still be able to leave. But after being dragged into this world, if you fail, you will be absorbed by it."
The "we" here refers to Hong Yin and the remaining good thoughts in the aggregate.
"I could have helped my brother... but now I have very little strength left. All I can do is allow you to use your own strength."
Bai Wu then realized that the reason they could use the sequence was because of the kind-hearted help from Hong Yin and others.
Two opposing camps of good and evil also emerged in the mirror.
Shitou, Feng Haiping, Hong Yin, Zhu Jin, Zhao Kuan...these figures seemed so small.
Because on the other side of the mirror is a dark mass of resentment like a tide.
They are Cui Zhengping, the witch, all the dead people in the village, and many resentful souls who sank in the lake.
At the same time, Hong Yin also gave Wujiu's perspective. Bai Wu saw the captain standing by the lake, experiencing the cycle of Shi Tou being burned to death, then jumping into the lake in grief, sinking to the bottom of the lake, and being entangled in the pain of resentment.
Looking at this scene, Bai Wu frowned:
"How can we defeat it?"
The battlefield is the other party's spiritual world, just like when facing the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Nine-Tailed Fox can summon various concrete monsters...
But the scales of the two are completely different, and quantitative changes have led to qualitative changes. Even with Bai Yuan summoned by the full moon fragments, Bai Wu is still at an absolute disadvantage.
Hong Yin said:
"It's the third scene. I can take my brother there... But that place... is an extremely twisted place. It's where all the evil thoughts gather."
The other world.
Bai Wu suddenly thought of this word.
He once saw an exhibition of paintings by an artist, in which there were paintings of big men wearing women's clothes, stockings, high heels, lipstick on, and with a scruffy beard.
At first Bai Wu thought it was spiritual pollution, but he continued reading.
The second painting was of a creature with the body of a dog and the head of a woman, but with a pig's nose.
Bai Wu is not sure whether this painting has any deeper meaning, but the first impression it gives is that the owner of the painting is despising and insulting women.
The third painting shows well-known businessmen in the real world, wearing suits and with $ printed on their foreheads, walking on the street. The streets are filled with tiny humans, and the businessmen are like giants.
The fourth painting is a creature that looks like an ATM. It has an old man's face, the kind of traditional face that instantly reminds people of their parents.
The fifth picture shows a cute child holding a pair of scissors, looking at a torn cat corpse on the ground with an innocent smile. On the child's back, there are many organs that cannot be described.
Bai Wu later found the owner of the exhibition and asked about the content of these paintings. As a result, he learned that the theme of the paintings was called the inner world. It described the twisted scenes in the deepest part of the hearts of a group of prisoners.
Bai Wu originally thought that the first scene was the other world, but later discovered... the first scene was just the entrance, and the second scene was the battlefield between good and evil.
The third scene you are about to enter is the real other world, where you will see all kinds of deformed creatures twisted by evil thoughts.
Bai Wu said:
"Take me there."
"But...but my brother will never come back if he leaves."
"But we can't hold out here for long, can we?"
The second act is a cyclical scene, but this cycle will eventually end when evil thoughts completely devour good thoughts.
Since Hong Yin couldn't wake himself up, all Bai Wu could do was to go to the other world and defeat the evil thoughts.
Hong Yin was still hesitating. In Hong Yin's opinion, Bai Wu's mental power meant that going to the other world was simply seeking death.
The gap between the current Bai Wu and the inner world is probably like the gap between the nine-tailed fox and Bai Yuan.
Bai Wu doesn't want the captain and others to become evil, after all, he can no longer load the save file.
The scene became bright again, and a light laugh was heard:
"For a man without fear, even if he had brains, he did a lot of reckless things. If you think about it, he's done a lot of stupid things, but he always survived, so why not let him try."
Bai Wu is very annoyed with Bai Yuan. Why does this person appear more and more frequently
Bai Yuan shrugged, and looking at his son's disgusted expression, he became happier. He knew what Bai Wu was thinking:
"You need to understand the situation. I'm not looking for you. You've intruded into the area I'm responsible for. Filial son, do you want to steal the show?"
Hong Yin felt that she was a little confused about the relationship between the two.
This uncle... No, this good-looking uncle, is he really my brother's father
Although they do seem somewhat similar.
Bai Yuan was created from the fragments of the full moon, the embodiment of Bai Wu's obsession, which in itself contains an extremely powerful mental force.
But compared to Hong Yin's peak state and the evil thoughts aggregate, he is still far inferior. But he... is very smart.
In particular, he understands the white mist better than anyone else in the world, and knows how to tap into the white mist.
"I'm not interested in how a failure will die, but there are some things in your three rooms that interest me. I'm not here to find you this time. I'm here to find this little girl."
Bai Yuan waved to Hong Yin.
Before the final battle comes, he needs Hong Yin to do something for him.
At this moment, the white fog became an outsider, and it seemed as if a layer of barrier suddenly appeared in the air.
It was like a huge, thick glass blocking the white fog.
He could see through the glass what Bai Yuan was saying, and Hong Yin's surprised and questioning expression, but he couldn't hear any sound.
Hong Yin was very skeptical about Bai Yuan's words at first, but finally she nodded after Bai Yuan's persuasion.
The little girl and Bai Yuan reached an agreement and shook hands. Bai Wu felt this scene was strange.
Bai Wu was well aware of the danger Bai Yuan posed and became worried about Hong Yin. Fortunately, the barrier disappeared soon.
Bai Wu immediately came to Hong Yin and asked:
"What did he say to you?"
"He wants to help you, brother."
"Impossible." Bai Wu rejected it outright.
Bai Yuan sneered:
"It's really sad. Did you know that mental power is closely related to emotions? You don't have any negative emotions, so the other party can't infect you here, but it will be different after you go to the other world. There, you are both spiritual and physical."
Bai Wu looked at Bai Yuan warily, but Bai Yuan didn't take it seriously, just like he was explaining science to a child:
"Psychiatrists have done a lot of killing in the other world, and it happens a lot in the real world, too, though most of them are done under the guise of mercy and treatment. Most clinical cases are used to deal with patients with multiple personalities, going to the other world and killing other unnecessary personalities."
"You, and even the good and evil thoughts within you, will appear in the form of personalities in the third scene. I am just giving you a little help. With my help, you can bring two teammates along."
Bai Wu looked at Hong Yin, and Hong Yin nodded. Logically speaking, Hong Yin would not lie to him.
But Bai Wu always felt that Bai Yuan was definitely not talking about this. If that was the case, why didn't he let him hear it
But time was running out, and Bai Wu didn't have time to think too much. Bai Yuan still smiled charmingly:
"The girl's true body is on the third floor. If you continue to waste time, you will have no teammates because they will all be devoured. Make your choice quickly. Of course, I am not in a hurry. I really want to know how you, who have no negative emotions, would react when you see your good friend die."
Hong Yin also changed her previous hesitation and said to Bai Wu:
"Brother...you guys should go. With his help, I can bring two more people to the third floor."
Liu Hu, Xie Xingzhi, fifty-nine, Cain, and Yan Zizai.
Bai Wu must make a multiple-choice question out of five options, picking the two strongest teammates and going to the third floor together to complete a battle that is almost impossible to win.
