Chapter 428 Inspiring Fear
On the other side, after Ren Wudao jumped into the fluorescent deep hole, the specific scene disappeared from his vision.
The pulled, deformed, and twisted shapes were moving quickly, and the strange hissing sounds kept lingering in the ears.
Ren Wudao even felt that he had completely lost his limbs, leaving only an empty consciousness that kept falling.
He himself did not know how long this falling situation continued, until... an endless gray grassland appeared before him.
This is a faded wilderness, without vitality, no sun or moon, no wind, no rain, and even nothing except the gray-white meadow.
Ren Wudao looked down at himself. He saw no hands or feet. He indeed had no body.
It's just a consciousness observing the world in front of it.
I wasn't looking, but I could perceive everything clearly.
He tried to move. Although he had no body, he could move quickly on the gray grassland with just his mind.
This novel experience is easy to immerse yourself in.
This feeling... of being able to do everything with just the mind.
Great.
Until he "saw" from afar, at the end of his vision, there appeared a huge tree that could almost be described as covering the sky and the sun.
The closer you get to the tree, the more lush the gray-white meadow around it becomes.
At the same time, the closer he got to the tree, the more inexplicable images were projected into his consciousness.
He seemed to see countless scenes passing by.
Maybe it will be a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even hundreds of thousands of years...
Because he "saw" the human race go from eating raw meat and drinking blood to establishing a country and the emergence of civilization, and the population went from being sparse to a concentrated explosion...
The history of mankind itself is a history of wars. He "saw" wars that broke out from the primitive society in the tribal period for the competition of prey and territory. He "saw" ancient wars after the establishment of the state, wars for the competition of territory and resources.
We also saw the wars that countries have waged to compete for interests and geopolitics since entering modern society...
Where there is war, there is evil.
During the outbreak of human war, plunder, massacre, blood, tears, wailing, and bloody scenes filled every corner of Ren Wudao's heart.
He "saw" everything and understood what kind of hellish sins the human order had to go through in order to be established.
I also "saw" that after every crime, wisps of black and red substance rising up and drifting to who knows where.
"This... is... the origin of your world..."
An intermittent voice suddenly appeared in Ren Wudao's heart.
"The sins of mankind..." the voice continued, "are our nourishment..."
After that voice appeared, the picture projected into Ren Wudao's consciousness suddenly changed again.
This time, they turned into those bizarre, terrifying and twisted ghosts that he had personally encountered in the fog or had heard of.
Are they ghosts?
and many more……
They seem to be...
This world's...
Life form?
"We...feed on...your...negative emotions..."
"We are...more...distorted...horrible..."
"You...are...more...terrible..."
"Shut up!"
Ren Wudao roared in his heart.
He had gradually realized that what the voice said might be true. Those so-called "ghosts" were really beings from another world that were fed by human negative emotions.
The more powerful, terrifying, and weird the "ghost" is, the more negative emotions humans have when they go to their world.
The more negative emotions overflow, the more it shows that there are some fatal flaws in the human race that cannot be ignored.
"We...are...you..."
The sound stopped suddenly.
The scene in Ren Wudao's eyes cleared again and he returned to the gray-white grassland.
At this moment, he was already standing under the giant tree.
In his field of vision, distorted human figures were silently "looking" at him.
In just a short moment, Ren Wudao had seen many human figures "exploding" like bubbles.
They shattered into crystalline dust, quickly melted into the ground, and disappeared completely.
"Okay, don't listen to that voice."
Suddenly, a familiar voice brought Ren Wudao's confused thoughts to a halt.
Sunday!
Yes... According to Zhou Tian, if I become the fish eye of the human world and he becomes the fish eye of the fog world, the two worlds can achieve a balance.
The words Zhou Tian had said before flashed through Ren Wudao’s mind.
But why am I in the fog world and he is also in the fog world at this moment?
What about the fish eyes in the human world?
and many more……
Ren Wudao was surprised to find that Zhou Tian's figure had appeared, but he still had no form and was still just a consciousness.
A premonition of danger grew in my heart.
But before Ren Wudao could ask, Zhou Tian said, "This voice came from the only individual among these things that developed self-awareness. It ran to the human world many years ago and tried every means to open up self-awareness to its [clan]. The so-called fog collection is actually its testing ground."
"What?" It was the first time that Ren Wudao heard such a statement.
"You mean, the life form that escaped from the fog world has already infiltrated the human world?"
"Yes, and he has become more and more like a human."
"After so many years, he has found the most effective way, which is to directly feed human consciousness to his tribe, but..."
Zhou Tian paused, he took a step and walked towards Ren Wudao.
Ren Wudao was still thinking about what Zhou Tian had just said. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, then wouldn't it be easy for him to do it?"
"No, human consciousness can indeed feed these things and help them open up their self-awareness, but once human consciousness leaves the body, it will immediately dissipate. It is impossible to preserve and transfer it."
"unless……"
Ren Wudao stopped talking again.
"Unless what?"
Ren Wudao asked further.
"Unless some negative emotions of human beings are stimulated to the limit, the fear rooted in human's primitive instinct becomes the best choice."
I see……
In other words, the reason why the fog collection exists is that many times Ren Wudao feels that the evil spirits in the fog collection are very strange. They seem to be restricted in certain abilities. They can obviously quickly eliminate humans who have no special abilities, but they cannot do that.
Now it seems that this is a restriction deliberately made by the person behind Wu Ji, because what he wants is not human life, but human life magnified to the limit...
fear.
