Chapter 115 Eternal Night Hospital (Part 7)
A large dark cloud rushed towards Baitao, like the embodiment of dark clouds pressing down on a city, threatening to destroy it. The distance between heaven and earth became smaller and smaller, and the sky was engulfed in the dark clouds, as if it was about to fall down. Worrying about the coming of a terrible disaster was no longer a legend.
If every dungeon needs a final boss, then it is obvious that these dark clouds made of resentment are roughly equivalent to the final boss of the phantom dungeon.
These grievances have nowhere to go in the world consciousness. After all, most of the grievances here come from the players before they died, and they are grievances against the rules of the ghost stories, as well as grievances against living creatures.
That's why Bai Tao didn't encounter any crisis other than emotions along the way, because for living things and for world consciousness, the resentment hidden behind the door is the biggest crisis.
Unfortunately, Bai Tao has both of these qualities, and her hatred value is so high that even the clone item that possesses all her aura cannot induce any resentment.
Resentment is extremely harmful to living things and the world's consciousness. Just by brushing against the skin, the small area of contact will begin to turn black and necrotize. It is also contagious. The necrotic area continues to expand, and a large area of skin begins to turn black.
Bai Tao acted decisively and peeled off the infected skin. He stopped only when he knew that the flesh and bones under the skin were of normal color.
The infected parts fell to the ground, and the normal flesh and blood were quickly corroded. When all the clothes were gone, the flesh and blood turned into black gas and merged into the army of resentment.
The blood and flesh stimulated the resentment, and they rushed towards Bai Tao at a faster speed. Even though Bai Tao was in invisible state, the resentment locked onto Bai Tao accurately like a radar.
It turns out that these mist-like things are just the embodiment of emotions and have no wisdom. Bai Tao can put the resentment into a glass bottle and play with it like a Spanish bullfighter.
Occasionally being scratched would result in more blood and flesh being shed, making the resentment even more restless.
But no matter how restless the resentment was, a part of it always floated just above the central fountain, with three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding the fountain tightly without moving at all.
After dodging the giant mouth of resentment again, Bai Tao thought that the plan to lure the enemy had failed. It seemed that he could only put all the resentment into the glass bottle, which would require more effort and time.
"Ah——" the unknown existence roared.
This was a sound that only special people like Bai Tao could hear. The battle outside was getting more intense.
He took out all the glass bottles at once, made a T-shaped grab with one hand, grabbed the resentment, pulled out many threads, and threw them into the glass bottles. Multiple glass bottles began to absorb the resentment continuously.
The advantage is that the absorption of resentment becomes faster, the disadvantage is that the speed of white peach decreases and the speed of resentment increases.
Just after a while, most of the resentment surrounded Bai Tao again. Before the encirclement was formed, Bai Tao jumped out first, but outside the encirclement was another encirclement.
The air was filled with fog, and everywhere I looked was filled with dark purple resentment. This time, there was really no way up to heaven or down to earth.
Relying on the glass bottle in his hand, Bai Tao barely ensured that an area around his body was not contaminated by resentment, but as the resentment became more and more concentrated, the color of the mist became darker and darker, and the speed at which the glass bottle absorbed resentment gradually could not keep up with the speed at which the resentment gathered.
The boundary is shrinking, the area not eroded by fog is getting smaller and smaller, and Bai Tao's range of activities is getting smaller and smaller.
Against an enemy like resentment which is tangible but not physical, all previous tricks and props are ineffective. Resentment is not only a deadly poison to Bai Tao, but also to props. All props in the world of ghost stories are manifestations of world consciousness. In front of resentment, all props become tofu dregs.
And a glass bottle is just a glass bottle, so it can withstand the corrosion of resentment.
Bai Tao rummaged around and took out seven full glass bottles from his pocket.
At this time, the white glass bottle has turned into a colorful glass bottle, and different emotions have different colors.
Pour out a glass bottle of emotions randomly.
The dark purple color that made people full of resentment instantly turned into a melancholy blue, flowing as Bai Tao moved, filling every space around Bai Tao, and forming a blue shield at the outermost edge to protect Bai Tao from the resentment invading her.
The negative emotions that Bai Tao has to face are nothing more than intermittent depression, sadness and melancholy.
In that case, Bai Tao put the glass bottle that absorbed resentment on the ground, then put on the emotional shield and ran towards the fountain.
Coming to the fountain, the resentment here is different from the resentment towards the living and the world that has always been besieging Bai Tao outside. The resentment here is more peaceful and non-toxic, but it is more contagious than the previous seven emotions.
"I don't want to go to work!" "Do you have to save the world today? Can you save it tomorrow?" "No salary at all! "Working for nothing" "After saving the real world, where will you and everyone in Dream City go?"
......
Some thoughts that are usually ignored come to mind.
Bai Tao is too deeply bound to the world of ghost stories. Once the world of ghost stories is destroyed, Bai Tao will be buried with it. Neither Ren Qingzhi nor Bai Tao can go back to the home in their memories.
It's not just Bai Tao, the same applies to all the players who died in the ghost story copy and woke up to live in the ghost story world. Once they were swallowed by the ghost story world, they became the citizens of the ghost story world. When the world dies, the players will be buried with it.
Most worlds are swallowed up by the world of ghost stories not because of how strong the world consciousness of the world of ghost stories is, but because of the desire for life.
No one wants to die if they can live.
Devouring, followed by division and infighting, this is the core means by which the world of ghost stories devours other worlds.
Step into the fountain.
Bai Tao has clearly understood the rules of the world of ghost stories, and the other half of the world's consciousness has been dormant for many years. As long as Bai Tao wants, she will be the only king of the world of ghost stories!
"You can definitely build the world of ghost stories into the appearance of your past home!"
If you have a sense of the world, you have to endure the temptations that pop up from nowhere from time to time. The inner voice that tempts people anytime and anywhere is far more annoying than schizophrenia and paranoia.
Xiaobai was sleeping, and now he comes to harass Baitao.
Bai Tao struggled to move forward in the water, approaching the core of the fountain step by step.
“Hua La La La—”
The fountain erupted another batch of player souls. Every time a soul was captured by the fountain, it would lose a piece of memory. But this time, Bai Tao had some more memories. When she was still Ren Qingzhi and the boss of [Eternal Night Hospital], the most common thing she did was to use a fishing rod to fish for souls in the fountain.
The fishing rod is an ordinary fishing rod that came with the journey. It has been 'carefully cared for' by the fisherman and has never come alive. Therefore, it can pass through layers of emotional curtains and fish souls from the fountain.
This is how Ma Ren was fished out by Bai Tao. Of course there were others as well, but only Ma Ren’s memory was preserved the most completely.
The ones that erupt from the fountain are all old souls. Since Bai Tao became the city lord, no players die in the dungeon anymore.
"Look, these are your compatriots, your people. Are you going to watch them die again just after they are resurrected?"
The voice of temptation sounded in Bai Tao's heart again.
With resentment corroding her from without and voices tempting her from within, every step Bai Tao took became extremely difficult, and her body seemed to be disobeying her commands.
I took a quick look at the emotional defense, and it turned out that the color of the melancholy blues was too light to be seen clearly.
Once again releasing a hint of red emotion, the voice of temptation also became angry.
"Oh, are you going to work for the world consciousness for nothing? Think about how it treated you, erasing your memory, leaving you only a message and throwing you into the Dream City. Now everything you have is in exchange for your life, you..."
Bai Tao's heart was heaving. She tried her best to ignore the noises that were everywhere and walked towards the center of the fountain in one go.
Under your feet are souls flowing like water. They are sleeping here. Whenever the Dream City needs to replenish its population, some people will be randomly selected and thrown into the Dream City.
Now these souls are constantly heading towards the City of Dreams, because not long ago, Bai Tao went on a killing spree, and only one-tenth of the residents of the City of Dreams are left.
Bai Tao felt good about this. With half of the world's consciousness, she knew the past and present of all the residents of Dream City, so there was no wrong killing.
"It's a pity that after becoming a human, I can no longer kill as much as I did that day!"
Bai Tao's face darkened, and the voice came again.
No matter how the sound disturbed Bai Tao, as long as she remained firm and unwavering, the core of the fountain would always be exposed in front of her. In fact, Bai Tao had already seen the core.
Lying under layers of transparent souls, its body kept rising and falling, like a sleeping animal, milky white, small, and a very cute pet.
This is the embodiment of the other half of the world's consciousness. The original body is certainly not like this. As the saying goes, every person has a thousand faces. The world consciousness has the abilities of all the residents of the strange world, and naturally it can also show its own appearance according to what people think.
Scars kept appearing on his body, but as his soul had already flowed through, the scars disappeared without a trace. He used his soul to heal his wounds, and as his soul was endless, other people or other world consciousness would never be able to harm him.
When Bai Tao's hand passed through layers of souls and wanted to touch this cute "pet", she touched nothing. Just like passing through the soul, Bai Tao's hand also passed through the core body.
Fake?
Bai Tao looked back at the layers of resentment that continued to erode her emotional shield, but she still refused to give up. These resentments were accumulated over time. Including the years with Ren Qingzhi, it had only been three short years. Three years was not enough to accumulate so much resentment.
Bai Tao sank herself into the soul pool, and the resentment instantly lost its target, floating back to the sky above the fountain intermittently.
Therefore, the world consciousness remains in the soul pool, on the one hand to heal its wounds, and on the other hand because it is besieged by resentment and has to stay here.
Fate plays tricks on us.
With a deep dive, Bai Tao released the breath of world consciousness in her body, and then approached the animal-type world consciousness. This time, Bai Tao touched Him.
The moment of contact, Bai Tao closed her eyes and fell to the bottom of the soul pool along with the little animal in her hand.
And her consciousness came to another place.
The pale starry sky, the moment Bai Tao saw countless shining stars, this name appeared in his heart. This is outside the world, and it is also the boundary between the world of ghost stories and the real world.
Bai Tao appeared here in human form. Not far away, a giant beast covered in black flames was fighting with a humanoid creature wearing a garland of sea blue with green dots on its head.
Seeing Bai Tao's figure, the two creatures that were fighting stopped.
On the left is a giant beast with the same aura as Bai Tao, He is the consciousness of the other half of the world. On the right is Bai Tao’s former mother, the world consciousness of the real world.
There was a desolate look in the eyes of the two inhuman creatures, but Bai Tao sensed that the two great beings were now setting their sights on her.
She is the key to determining the outcome of this war.
