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.
