Eternal Night.

Chapter 929 Returning to District 13

Wu Pifu noticed something: when he got close to Mazda and the fifth generation Mazda mentioned, his anchoring to the fish and the butterfly would increase rapidly. Although it was still only a slight increase, the speed was more than a hundred times faster than before, at least faster than the speed at which the fish and the butterfly eroded the Bodhi fruit.

Before encountering Mazda, they eroded the Bodhi fruit much faster than they were anchored. According to Wu Pifu's estimate, he estimated that the anchoring rate was less than half before the fish and butterflies could devour him. The only way to speed up the anchoring was for people to die around him, a large number of people.

So Wu Pifu was still pondering how to get to those battlefields filled with corpses and blood, when unexpectedly a second method appeared.

Are these fifth-generation members guilty because they, like him, have lived for a long time and accumulated a great deal of negative karma?

However, one thing that Wu Pifu found very strange was that he did not feel a lot of negative emotions on the level of Mazda's mental consciousness. The level of negative emotions on his mental consciousness was not much different from that of ordinary people.

The only difference between him and ordinary people is that... a kind of gloomy, decaying aura emanates from the essence of his soul. Although his physical body, movements, and mental consciousness are no different from normal people, this decaying aura at the level of his soul still surprised him.

Could it be... that there are three forms of negativity?
Negativity at the physical level, negativity at the mental and conscious level, and negativity at the level of the soul and spirit?
But that's not right. His true soul isn't invisible or intangible; it's clear and pure, and it doesn't seem to be much different from the true soul of an ordinary person. The only difference is that his true soul is of a higher level. I can't see any negative effects.

It's just really strange.

However, compared to Qing's despair and frustration, Wu Pifu was secretly delighted.

The dream world is nothing special. Going back there is not much different from going home. Moreover, as long as there are a lot of deaths, whether they are humans or monsters, he can control this body. The more deaths, the greater his control over the body.

As for those nightmares... judging from the only nightmare he encountered, their strength was practically nonexistent. Even if he didn't control his body, he could easily crush that level of nightmare just by relying on the physical instincts set up by his body. As for stronger nightmares, he wasn't afraid of them either. As long as he could recover some of his strength, he could still slaughter them indiscriminately.

The next day, Qing dragged Wu Pifu to the luxurious staff restaurant of the Extraordinary Recreation Department and ate his fill. As if venting his fear, he bombarded the food with food until it was choking him. Only then was he dragged to the department's playground by the expressionless Mazda.

"Your current arrangement is that Wu Pifu will be the main fighting force, and you will be the main person in charge of Wu Pifu. At the same time, five logistics team members will accompany you to District Thirteen."

On the parade ground, a fully enclosed hovercraft was parked on it. The vehicle was about ten meters long, five meters wide, and four meters high. It was a fully enclosed, blocky vehicle with only one metal door that opened from the inside. There was no indication of any weaponry, nor were there any visible front windows or anything like that. Five logistics team members, four men and one woman, were standing at attention next to the vehicle. Judging from their actions and attire, they were clearly highly elite military personnel.

Mazda led Aoko towards the vehicle, saying as they walked, "These five people will provide you with long-range combat support, logistical medical support, headquarters information liaison, data analysis, experimental data recording, research report generation, and other logistical support. If necessary... I mean, if absolutely necessary, the two of you will be the priority personnel for evacuation; they will be your last line of defense."

Qing couldn't help but say, "Life isn't worth much?!"

Mazda paused for a second, then chuckled and said, "That's right. Compared to all the people in the multidimensional universe, life... is worthless! To put it bluntly, when I have to enter the nightmare to become a superhuman, I will also gamble with my life. My life is still worthless. Remember, you carry the hopes of all mankind. That's all I can say."

Qing lowered his head and remained silent. Mazda led the two to the five support personnel. He looked at Qing and said, "The current procedure for the extraordinary reproduction experiment is as follows: all experimental teams will delve into the Thirteenth District to explore the various abnormal areas. So far, the intact twelve main control systems have classified the various abnormal areas into five levels of danger, with level one being the safest and level five being the most dangerous. Your task is to start by exploring the level one areas, then explore the level two areas three times, and so on, until you have explored the level five areas three times. After that, the exploration mission in the Thirteenth District will be considered complete."

Qing's face twitched as he listened, but he still asked, "And then our mission is over?"

"...No, the real mission is only just beginning."

Mazda said expressionlessly, "The government has assembled a total of 70,000 reconnaissance teams, with approximately 500,000 personnel entering the Thirteenth District, covering areas with danger levels ranging from one to five. There will be a total of fifteen exploration and recording processes. Inevitably, there will be heavy casualties during this process, but the remaining personnel will become elites. At the same time... the first superhumans will also emerge. Ultimately, the teams that survive these fifteen reconnaissances will finally enter the outside world... This is the complete process of the mission."

"The outside world... it really is the outside world." Qing revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.

Mazda looked directly at Qingdao and said, "According to the judgment of all the main control systems, the most suitable extraordinary cultivation technique for you is the Great Destiny Technique, which was once famous in the multidimensional universe. According to the records, when you cultivate it to the limit, you can transcend the cause and effect of destiny and achieve the eternal and immortal Destiny Dao Fruit. At that time, you can also achieve great freedom and great ease in the new era and the new world, and you will also have status and power... But all of this requires you to risk your life. Do you understand?"

Qing nodded silently, then looked up again and asked, "What about my buddy? You guys taught me how to cultivate the Great Destiny Technique, saying I could try it out once I entered the dangerous areas of the Thirteenth District. But what about my buddy? You didn't teach him anything!" Yes, nothing!

Wu Pifu, in his true nature, cheered loudly!
Mazda said helplessly, "No, it's not that we don't want to. To be honest, the tens of millions of extraordinary paths inherited from our ancestors are not precious to us. This Great Destiny Technique was once a secret that suppressed the ultimate powerhouses of an entire dimension. But now we can teach it to you at will, right? But in your friend's current state, how are we supposed to teach him extraordinary paths?"

Qing looked helplessly at Wu Pifu's dazed expression and had no choice but to give up.

Seeing that Qing remained silent, Mazda waved his hand and said, "Then go ahead, but we're not demons after all... After each investigation, you can return to the base for ten days of rest. At the same time, you will receive various rewards based on the content and information of this investigation, including the opportunity to make judgments from the twelve main control systems, the opportunity to ask questions, the opportunity to provide extraordinary answers, and various material rewards... such as any welfare benefits or monetary rewards you desire, you can ask for them at will. Alright, go ahead."

Qing was about to walk towards the five team members, but then he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Mazda again, "If, I mean if... after we enter the thirteenth district, we find some refugees who are still alive and well, can we rescue them? For example, can we get them into a vehicle?"

"You cannot get into a vehicle!"

Mazda immediately said seriously, "All the people in District 13 are unreliable. Their bodies, minds, and even spiritual particles may harbor certain things from Nightmare. This is based on experience. When you came to District 12 from District 13, you were judged by the main control system Nuwa. Have you forgotten? You can't make judgments in District 13... If conditions permit, you can guide them to District 13 through various passages. This is the greatest compromise and goodwill you can offer, but entering vehicles is absolutely prohibited."

"But..." Qing hesitated, feeling distressed.

Mazda sighed, reached out and pulled Qing's head towards the five team members, saying, "Look at them. Those are your next team members. They also have parents, relatives, and friends. They are also living beings. They are also risking their lives to enter the Thirteenth District to fight for a way to survive for all of us humans. You can take those people, whether human or ghost, onto the vehicle without caring about your own life, or even your buddies' lives. But what about them? Why should they put their lives in danger because of your 'good intentions'?"

Qing remained silent for a long while before nodding expressionlessly.

Then, Qing pulled Wu Pifu toward the five logistics team members, who were carefully observing Qing, especially Wu Pifu, whom he was pulling.

Long before he was selected as one of the testers, the Multidimensional Cosmic Unified Government had already dispatched enough testers to test Wu Pifu.

He is not extraordinary, only physically strong. All his attacks, counterattacks, and defenses are based on his control and skills of his physical body.

It's just that this skill surpasses the limits of ordinary people, so it's close to being extraordinary.

The multidimensional universe is a super-collection of unimaginable size. As the inheritor of the multidimensional universe civilization, among the more than 80 million extraordinary paths, there are countless extraordinary paths related to physical training and close combat. Therefore, some people speculate that Wu Pifu may have been hiding his strength in the past, perhaps with a hidden fourth or third generation, or even possibly taught by the original creator.

Or perhaps Wu Pifu awakened a supernatural physical self-awareness because of entering a nightmare.

Wu Pifu is the core of this team's combat!

Soon, the leader of the five logistics personnel, a bald, burly man, stood in front of Qing and said, "Qing, I am the captain of team A1, and I am the logistics team leader for you and Wu Pifu. They are A2, A3, A4, and A5. Now... please put on the special exoskeleton combat armor first, and then we can discuss the target on the way."

He pulled Wu Pifu onto the vehicle, which was spacious and filled with high-tech equipment. With the assistance of the intelligent system, he and Wu Pifu put on their exoskeleton armor. At the same time, he asked, "Level 1 danger zone... what targets are there, or rather, what are your planned targets?"

The five logistics personnel exchanged glances. The bald, burly man, A1, nodded and said, "Yes, the Thirteenth District, Level One Danger Zone. We already discussed an area on the way here. Given Mr. Wu Pifu's combat capabilities, the area will be named..."

"The arena!"
