Chapter 43: Did I Travel to the Backrooms?
Yang Wuji's consciousness body continued to break through one cognitive space after another, and fell infinitely.
"? I'm stuck with a wall BUG?? β
He was a little dumbfounded to see the space around him constantly changing, distorting and colorful strange space, colorful three-dimensional space, like the flat space of an oil painting, and the chaotic space of line segments......
"I'm ...... Dimensionality reduction? β
Yang Wuji originally planned to cancel the retreat, but the wonderful scene he had never seen before in front of him made him feel the urge to continue watching.
"That's not right...... It can't be dimensionality reduction! The dimensional space is only eleven layers at most, but in the time just now, I have already penetrated hundreds of layers of space! β
Yang Wuji quickly denied his guess and focused all his attention on the bottom of the consciousness body, wanting to perceive what was under the infinite fall.
But even if he diverged his consciousness to the limit, he couldn't perceive the lowest level.
So Yang Wuji tried to lift the hide, but the whole person began to climb rapidly again, and soon returned to the original cognitive space.
This made him breathe a big sigh of relief.
"Let's go back to the deep web first."
He lifted the out-of-body talent, and the consciousness body instantly disappeared into the blue light.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself still sitting outside the Temple of Odin.
I looked at the time - only about 5 minutes had passed.
"It seems...... The so-called primordial spirit should be my consciousness body. However, why does using the deep web feel different from in the real world? The cross-latitude cognitive space seen in the deep web feels like a ...... Fake the same? β
Yang Wuji recalled everything that happened just now and came to a conclusion, but at the same time gave rise to more doubts:
"In addition, in the cognitive space just now, what is the matter with the continuous falling of the consciousness body? If you allow your consciousness to fall, where will it end up? β
In the process of falling just now, those spaces that kept flashing around his consciousness body made Yang Wuji feel an incredible feeling, he always felt that as long as he could make his consciousness body fall to the bottom of the cognitive space, it was very likely that he would find something very important!
It is even possible to discover the true secrets of the deep web!
"When I condensed the consciousness body before, the cool chill that suddenly appeared should be the effect of the activation of the celestial and human sensing talent, and this talent can really take effect in the deep web. But when the consciousness body fell just now, the celestial and human induction was not activated...... In other words, although the fall may seem a little scary, it should not be dangerous. β
Yang Wuji thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision:
"Why don't you try again?"
I decided to do it, but just in case, Yang Wuji left a message for his sister, exited the "Valhalla" deep web space, returned to his personal space on the second floor of the deep web, and then opened the original body again.
As for eavesdropping on the conversation between the gold owner and the high-level management of the game guild, he had long been left behind.
The consciousness reappeared, and Yang Wuji returned to the cross-latitude cognitive space.
"Sure enough...... This is different from when I was on the third floor just now, is this really a cross-dimensional cognitive space? β
Yang Wuji felt the difference between the cognitive space around him and when he was on the third floor, and doubts rose in his heart.
"Forget it, I can't figure it out if I think about it, so let's go down first."
The consciousness body shook its head, and Yang Wuji opened the retreat again, covering all the consciousness bodies.
Sure enough, his consciousness body once again entered a state of infinite fall.
This time, Yang Wuji didn't stop it again, and while carefully observing his surroundings, he let his consciousness body fall down.
I don't know how long it took, Yang Wuji couldn't even remember how many layers of space his consciousness body penetrated, and finally, his feet were hard, and that down-to-earth feeling reappeared.
"I'm ...... Got to the bottom? β
Yang Wuji sensed the surroundings blankly, and found that he had actually arrived in a place like an underground space with yellow walls?
"What the hell is this...... The Backrooms? β
Yang Wuji was shocked by the surrounding environment, it was a bit similar to a horror game he had played before the Anno War!
In that horror game, people in the real world will fall into a mysterious space similar to the inner world like a bug for unknown reasons.
And those mysterious spaces have different styles, the number is almost infinite, and there are all kinds of monsters and entities lurking in them, and ordinary people can't escape at all.
"Won't you...... It's been 10,000 years, can I still travel back? β
Yang Wuji controlled the consciousness body and explored in the yellow space.
Fortunately, he now has a hidden defense, as long as he doesn't make a noise and is not directly observed, he won't be discovered by those monsters that may exist.
Even if he is discovered, Yang Wuji can mobilize his mind and speed up the speed of his consciousness body, and he can completely ride the dust and throw the monster behind him to eat fart.
It really doesn't work, just lift the escape on the spot and fly back.
With confidence in his heart, Yang Wuji had no scruples when he explored, and his wildly running consciousness constantly flashed in the yellow space.
Soon, he found a wooden door.
Reaching out and twisting the doorknob, the wooden door didn't move.
"It's a pain, you can't let me find the key here."
Yang Wuji's consciousness body sighed and leaned against the wooden door.
As a result, as soon as his body made contact with the wooden door, he saw that the wooden door shook like a projection, and his entire consciousness body entered directly through the door!
"Is that okay?"
Yang Wuji was stunned, and then overjoyed.
The space behind the wooden door is no longer an underground space with yellow walls, but has become an abandoned unmanned shopping mall.
Yang Wuji painted the gourd in the same way and continued to look for a new exit.
Soon, he found another door to another dimension.
Passing through the door again, this time he came to an underground tunnel.
This has been repeated dozens of times, Yang Wuji has changed dozens of places, not to mention human figures, not even a single monster.
"Looks like I'm thinking too much, this shouldn't be the Backrooms. Just a place that looks more like the Backrooms. β
He doesn't believe in evil, he continues to explore, and sometimes even controls the consciousness body to diverge information outwards while walking, which is equivalent to shouting while walking in the real world.
After dozens of space switches, he finally encountered a monster under the reminder of the celestial sensing talent.
It was a monster that looked like a noodle man drawn by a child in black crayons, more than three meters tall, hovering in a space that resembled an office floor.
Relying on the perspective of countless desk cards, Yang Wuji successfully dodged the monster and entered the next space.
As a result, the celestial and human sensing talent was once again alarmed, and Yang Wuji almost stepped on the air.
After coming out of the office space, he entered a broken space, surrounded by all kinds of gravel and trees floating as if there was no gravity, and Yang Wuji's consciousness body could only move forward by jumping between various debris.
After that, dozens or hundreds of spaces passed, and just as he was about to lose his patience, the situation finally changed.
Suddenly, in the new space, he collected intermittent information!
ββ¦β¦ Maze...... Lock...... Red Door ...... Guard ......"
Perceiving the meaning deciphered from the information center, Yang Wuji hesitated:
"Labyrinth...... Was it a labyrinth here? No wonder there's so much space. What does the red door mean? Is it possible to get out as long as you find the red door? Guard...... You mean those monsters? β
After pondering for a long time, Yang Wuji decided to try it according to the content of the information first, after all, he had no other clues now.
So he explored again, and soon found a door that glowed red in the space he was currently inβa space that seemed to connect an infinite number of pools together.
Passing through the door, Yang Wuji was disappointed to find that he had not escaped the labyrinth, but had only entered another strange space.
"That's not right...... It's different! I'm in this space, and I feel like my body is a little heavier than the previous space! β
Yang Wuji carefully perceived the surrounding environment and suddenly discovered a new change.
This subtle difference, if it weren't for the fact that he had now condensed his consciousness body, would not have been able to detect it at all!
"It seems that the red door works! I see, it's not that you can get out of the maze by finding the red door, but that you need to keep going through the red door to get out! β
With an idea in mind, Yang Wuji controlled the consciousness body and began to speed up the exploration.
After passing through about seventy or eighty red doors in a row, Yang Wuji only felt that his consciousness body suddenly sank and entered a completely new environment.
"Finally out......"
His inference was correct, he breathed a sigh of relief, observed the surrounding situation, and found that this place seemed to be inferior to the maze just now.
It was pitch black all around, with no objects or any information, just like a dark wilderness that could not be seen at a glance.
With his previous experience in the labyrinth, Yang Wuji found a direction and started a new exploration, while constantly perceiving the changes in his consciousness.
"Sure enough, if you go in a different direction, the 'sense of gravity' of the consciousness body will change."
Having identified his inner guess, he found a direction that would make the conscious body heavier, and began to move forward rapidly.
I don't know how long he ran, Yang Wuji felt that the "sense of gravity" perceived by his consciousness body had increased by almost ten times, and finally, a huge city ruins suddenly appeared in front of him.
On the edge of the city, on a half-destroyed road sign, there are several words written in an old style, but the handwriting is very clear:
ββ¦β¦ Xinghai City. β
Yang Wuji's consciousness body stood at the edge of the city, the light in his body flashed, and he was very shocked:
"Here...... What the hell is this place? How can there still be cities? Could it be that people have lived here before?? β
Yang Wuji's shock was not unreasonable, after all, the out-of-body spirit was an innate ability given to him by the cultivation system, and in his opinion, it should be only him who could condense the consciousness body and sink so deep in the seemingly cross-dimensional cognitive space.
As a result, in this space, which should be the lowest level of the cognitive space, he actually found traces of other people's existence!
"I can't read it, but I'm blown away!"
Yang Wuji's consciousness body stepped into the ruins of the city, looking at the ruins around him, and his whole body was confused.
