Chapter 93: Absolute Darkness

Is the gem realm a prophecy of fate, or is it the result of the interweaving of one's own spirituality and the spirituality of the world?

Colly felt that this was his former home, and he could even recall the details of the location of household appliances.

"I'm supposed to be wearing loose pajamas, and my shoes are thick cotton slippers with a low sound, and it's as cold as getting up and going to the toilet at night, why is the memory dream like this?"

The tinder stored against his chest was still sealed in a flat bottle, and he tried to convince himself not to be too afraid.

But darkness cut off all vision, and even though Corrie stood up and reached out to lift the curtain near the sink, there was still no light in the world outside the glass pane.

Even on the night of a blackout in the city, there should not be such a thick blackness, and the darkness without any light source is equivalent to nothingness. If it weren't for the memories of the past that sustained cognition, he wouldn't even have the most basic way to escape.

It's kind of funny to say, in the case of not being able to judge the state of other people, Ke Li doesn't know whether to speak in the language of the other world, or to ask the people in the dark in standard Mandarin.

Let's wait for them to make a sound first, but the direction from which the breathing sound came from just now......

Holding on to the cupboard, Colley slowly stood up in the dark, fumbling for something he might use for self-defense.

Determine the location of the sink first, the left hand side is the natural gas cooktop, the right hand side is the gas valve and pipe of the water heater, the width of the counter should be 60~80 cm grade, put your arm on the counter, you should be able to easily touch the wall.

No, but the knives disappeared, and the faucets and air valves were opened, and there was no sound.

Even the electronic lighter on the stove was broken, and when I touched it and twisted it, it didn't make any sound or light.

What the hell is going on in this place? This is definitely not what a normal world should be.

Ke Li kept groping in the dark, and finally found a wooden rice spoon.

He took the rice spoon and tentatively poked it into the place where the breath was coming from, slowly approaching the other party to make sure that someone was leaning against the corner of the cupboard over there.

Ke Li put the wooden rice spoon in his pocket and dared to test the other party's state:

First damp hair like corn whiskers, then shriveled skin and flesh like longan, head resting between the wall and the cupboard, legs open with knees outstretched.

"I was still breathing just now, and in just a few minutes, the person was already dead?"

Although Collie did not know whether the corpse was friend or foe, its appearance continued to change:

The corpse began to quickly lose moisture and become dry, and the skin felt like dry branches and leaves.

Then the corpse began to shrink, as if the bones and internal organs had been digested by something invisible.

Little by little, it disintegrated into a cloud of dust, and then disappeared along with it.

"Is this really my home?"

"If it was a dream based on my memory scenes, I might be able to find something different."

Corrie has mixed feelings, he doesn't know what kind of enemy lurks in the darkness, and he can't use extraordinary characteristics, he must find a way to escape from this darkness.

"Absolute darkness is not unbreakable, in the tomb of the Snowy Secret Realm, absolute darkness will not appear due to continuous observation, that is, as long as I can find a way to tear a gap in light, it may be cracked."

Colley leaned against the wall, searching for the lampholder in his memory.

He reached the edge of the glass sliding door and pressed the switch but didn't hear a crisp click.

The switch is like melted hemp candy, it feels sticky to the touch, and no matter how hard you press it, there is no mechanical feedback.

"Not only is the power out, but the electronics are also aging?"

Leaving the kitchen, Colley felt the chair in the dark, stepped on the chair and tried to touch the wall clock in the dark, only to find that the place where the wall clock should have been placed was only an empty round clock case, and the hands and internal mechanical gears were missing.

“……”

Corrie began to speed up his movements, and he found his bedroom, trying to dig a spare lighting torch from the cabinet.

But he failed, and the flashlights felt light to the touch, as if the electronics inside had been taken away.

Even the computer is only a bare old display screen, and the main unit and wires are not known to have been taken by whom.

"The door to the corridor can't be opened, I live on the first floor, can I get out of the dream by opening the door?"

In this state, you still want to operate, either use the fire, discard the fire as an extraordinary material, and see if you can trigger the key to escape from the absolute darkness, and this kind of opportunity is only once, and if you fail, you will fall into a worse situation.

In the second option, use a suitable material to rub and accumulate charges, creating electrostatic sparks to break the darkness.

The downside is that absolute darkness will devour the properties used by living people, and if the static electricity generated by living beings is also considered a property, it can lead to even worse weird situations.

"It's a death horizontally and vertically, and I can't care so much now......"

Colly rummaged through the cupboard, changing clothes like sweaters onto his body.

Then he found the plastic ruler and began to rub it vigorously, building up the charge.

The darkness was like a wriggling substance, making Ke Li feel that his physical state was getting more and more wrong when he rubbed the electricity.

He stroked his hair that stood on end, feeling that the time was almost right, and then stared wide-eyed into the darkness of nothingness, and vigorously rolled up the sweater at his waist and tore it outward.

"Sneer......"

Although this light was extremely faint, and the small light accumulated by life could hardly effectively illuminate the darkness, he clearly felt that the absolute darkness around him had changed, and the unobservable properties were resisted by the nature of life.

"Come again!"

It's like a pair of hands stealing his properties as a living being.

Colley rubbed coldly, making him feel that the efficiency of accumulating electric charge was rapidly decreasing, and after three consecutive casts, he could no longer generate static sparks by pulling on the sweater.

Perhaps it was the struggle of the static spark that took effect, and Corrie noticed that the darkness of the space was no longer pure, and a little light leaked out from under the door leading to the street, but it could not extend too far into the darkness.

"Is there light in the outside world? As long as you can find a way to escape, you can avoid the absolute darkness ......"

"The door can't be opened, it can't be pushed like it's fixed to the wall, and I may not be able to do it alone."

The clock vanished, and Colley could only keep time with his heartbeat, using himself to measure the size of the room, looking for potential flaws.

He gradually discovered that the size of this space was not fixed: sometimes the room was very large, and sometimes it was suspiciously small, and the study that he had not walked to for a long time might be touched by walking two or three steps.

But the absolute darkness was still devouring the living and transporting them to the dream, and Colli found that people were constantly joining in this dark space, and people were constantly dying.

"Who are you, don't touch me, don't touch me! Get away from me! Ahhh ”

The stranger's woman screamed, breaking the dark silence, and Corrie leaned against the wall and walked forward with her hands outstretched, only to touch a freshly dead, withering corpse.

"Is this a nightmare, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!"

Colley continued to walk, the source of the sound being a vanishing corpse.

Such situations are gradually increasing, whether it is the voice of a suspected extraordinary, or the ordinary people who are swept in by absolute darkness, although they take the initiative to make a sound, but before Ke Li arrives, they have already died.

Colly began to gasp, he felt that the air was filled with bitter dust, and his breathing became more and more difficult, and when he could not find a way to leave, the moisture in his body began to gradually drain.

"Will it be me next? All I can see now is the light leaking from the direction of the gate, and if I can't find a way to escape from here, it will be my turn sooner or later......"

"No, you can't give up yet, extraordinary people with more characteristics can leave the absolute darkness by giving up their characteristics, the people of the church should still be alive, and it is definitely not so easy to die."

Thinking of this, Ke Li finally mustered up the courage to take the initiative to speak: "Are there any hounds still alive?" Help, we have to find a way to get out of here, if it's not convenient to talk, you can make noise, you can clap your hands or something! ”

In an instant, the darkness returned to silence, so oppressive that it was impossible to breathe.

But after a while, Ke Li actually heard a certain sound of armor moving: "Are you here?" ”

There was a painful cough in the darkness, but the tone of the beast-helmeted man could still be heard: "Who are you?" Something weird, it's been near me, don't come close! ”
