He didn't flip up immediately but silently watched his surroundings, listened to sounds, and perceived the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the first two \"Weekends,\" he had been killed because he sat up suddenly. Death here came without warning; any sudden movement could bring death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peeking secretly as he opened his eyes, he saw darkness all around. It took a long time before he could slowly see some things clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed to be a factory, a workshop, or a similar place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wu Pifu felt slightly relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his first two \"Weekends,\" one time he had descended directly into a graveyard, with a ridiculously huge full moon in the sky, and corpses and ghosts flying all over the graveyard. He was extremely lucky to have been reborn in an empty coffin after dying twice, and then he survived until the \"Weekend\" ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second \"Weekend\" brought him to a \"small\" town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he marked this town with a special symbol was that this town was not small at all; not only was it not small, it was unimaginably huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu had already practiced the Tiger Demon Art at the time. Although he might have only touched the edge of the Ming Force, his physical strength and mobility exceeded those of ordinary people. He climbed to a high building in that town to look down, and everywhere he looked were dense, countless buildings and alleys...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a town that was constantly proliferating, constantly changing, and \"alive\"—a huge maze. And it wasn't just the town itself that was a maze; all the buildings, as long as they were slightly large, also turned into mazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming the situation of the town, he had boldly wanted to leave at first, but he soon regretted it. Because as long as he left the center of the town and entered any alley, he could never find his way back within ten minutes at most. He faced an endless, changing maze, and the deeper he went, the more horrors there were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the second \"Weekend,\" he not only died three times but was also corroded. One-third of his body had mutated, and many of his past memories had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That he was able to survive the second \"Weekend\" was truly due to luck, because as long as one stayed in the center of the town, the survival probability would greatly increase. The maze changes and horrors there were the fewest, although it was still like gambling with his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was the third \"Weekend\" he had to survive. It seemed to be in a closed area, so according to experience, as long as he hid in a corner and stayed quiet and motionless, he had a high probability of surviving this \"Weekend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wu Pifu slowly pushed himself up from the ground, minimizing the range of his body movements as much as possible. Only then did he see everything around him slightly more clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed to be a food processing factory. He saw some employees selecting meat on an assembly line, while in the distance, another assembly line was processing meat into canned goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked quite normal... if you ignored the other scene revealed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire factory immediately changed from neat and orderly to filthy and chaotic. Even its image changed; it no longer looked like a modern assembly line factory, but rather like a slaughterhouse from ancient times, or a modern rural area—the kind of old, terrifying slaughterhouse that looked like a scene from a horror movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the employees had turned into monsters with heads like bulls, pigs, sheep, and birds. They were tall and strong, the shortest being at least 2.5 meters tall. And the meat they were handling and selecting all showed obvious human organ characteristics: hands, feet, and even half-human bodies with heads...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this... was not the true reality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu forcibly suppressed his urge to peek, because behind this terrifying scene, he could vaguely see another blurry, hazy scene...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange machines, piled together from dozens of wires, metal, messy parts, and partial flesh and blood, were holding chainsaws, hammers, and various messy tools, cutting various lives—some human, some Wu Pifu had never seen before. All life was being cut, smashed, decomposed, and then thrown into a huge container that looked very, very high-end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was still not the deepest truth. Wu Pifu had an intuition that behind this most blurry scene, there was something truly hidden, but unfortunately, he couldn't see it clearly at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the Yellow Lotus fragment around Wu Pifu’s neck fluctuated slightly, and in an instant, all the \"employees\" he could see turned their heads to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been before, Wu Pifu would have started to run now. But precisely because he had the Yellow Lotus fragment, he suppressed the thought of running or attacking first and just stood up as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core rule of inspiration: when you perceive \"reality\" or the grotesque, reality and the grotesque will also perceive you simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, two of his inspiration data points had been lit up: Strange Perception 2.2 and Barrier-Breaking Perception 1.4. This meant his Strange Perception strength was 64 times that of an ordinary person, and his Barrier-Breaking Perception was 4 times that of an ordinary person. This was enough for him to see countless realities that ordinary people could never see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was not entirely a good thing, because when you see reality, reality also sees you. For example, in the last dream world, the reason he was watched by the Unborn Mother and branded was 80% likely because he \"saw\" the Unborn Mother, thereby triggering being watched by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his inspiration level, perhaps when these \"employees\" looked at him, what he would face was not the attack of various beast-headed monsters, but the attack of even more terrifying machines composed of countless wires, parts, and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none of this happened. After these employees looked at him for three or four seconds, they turned their heads back to continue their work. Only one employee, who looked moderately fat, walked toward Wu Pifu, saying as he walked: \"New guy, go to the slaughter area. I don't know what's going on over there, but the shipping speed is getting slower and slower. We only have 23 hours left, and the consignee will be here soon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, this fat employee, who was suspected to be a supervisor, thoughtfully pointed in a direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu walked toward the slaughter area without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this calm actually relied on the magical effect of the Yellow Lotus fragment, which could even be called a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It directly ignored the core rule of inspiration, allowing him to unilaterally perceive \"reality\" to a certain extent without being perceived by reality in return. This was a divine skill in any situation! It turned the inspiration attribute, which was originally a double-edged sword, into a divine skill with only positive benefits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, now, Wu Pifu felt he could muddle through this \"Weekend.\" As long as he didn't reveal any flaws, he could completely pretend he didn't know the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the experience of the past two \"Weekends,\" as time passed, the surrounding environment and living things would become more and more grotesque and terrifying, but this could at least delay him for more than half the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Weekend\" lasts for 24 hours!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was estimated that there were more than 23 hours left, which was the time the consignee mentioned by the fat supervisor would arrive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu walked toward the slaughter area with his head down, trying his best not to look at those \"employees\" and that meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Yellow Lotus fragment’s effect was heaven-defying, it had limitations: it could only shield the \"truth\" to the level of Baseline Reality 0.9 and 0.8. His inspiration was extremely strong, and he didn't know if the Yellow Lotus fragment could withstand it, so he didn't dare to look around along the way and kept suppressing his urge to peek at the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, he walked to the entrance of the slaughter area with a pace that looked normal but was actually slightly slow. Before he even opened the door, a thick smell of blood rushed into his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary person struggling to survive. Perhaps I have a little strength, but compared to these terrifying grotesques, I am also an ant. I'm sorry, I'm sorry...)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu stood in front of the slaughter area gate and exhaled before pushing the gate open. Behind the gate was another series of assembly lines, but this was a slaughter assembly line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cattle slaughter assembly line, pig slaughter assembly line, sheep slaughter assembly line. The outermost interface connected to the outside of the factory, and pigs, cattle, and sheep were constantly pushed in by conveyor belts from outside. However, these assembly lines were not fully intelligently controlled, nor was there anything like electrocuting them first. Instead, they were first washed with high-pressure water, then moved forward, where \"employees\" outside the conveyor belt used various tools to stab and dismember them, then placed the meat on the conveyor belt while washing it with water, and then transported it out of the slaughter area. This was the assembly line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Wu Pifu’s eyes, the cattle were all strong or very fat humans, the pigs were males, and the sheep were females. They were all dull-eyed, like puppets, naked as they were transported in from outside the factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, he couldn't do anything, so he could only keep his head down and try not to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a tall and strong man among the \"employees\" said: \"New guy, go help in the sheep area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu nodded silently and walked casually to the side of a \"sheep\" slaughter assembly line, watching the numb humans passing by. Feeling both sorrow and fear in his heart, he kept his head down and pretended to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, at this moment, he saw some commotion at the end of a conveyor belt. The \"employees\" all ignored it, so he walked over slowly and actually saw a little girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with emerald green hair, trying to crawl out of the factory at the conveyor belt entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the little girl’s appearance, Wu Pifu’s heart stirred. However, he didn't do anything more, just bent his body toward the conveyor belt, bringing his head as close to the little girl’s position as possible, and whispered: \"Goudan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl’s body stiffened, and she turned around and jumped up, hitting Wu Pifu’s head with her forehead, while also trying to jump up and bite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene naturally alarmed some \"employees.\" Two employees walked toward this position, and Wu Pifu covered his forehead and said: \"Jiujiu, why did you come in too? And why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu naturally knew who this was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bird with spirituality, Jiujiu. He just didn't expect why she would follow him in, and at the same time turn into a human appearance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiujiu looked at Wu Pifu with teary eyes, then looked at the approaching \"employees\" in horror. Then she did one thing... she stopped struggling and followed the dull humans to the next procedure of the conveyor belt, as if she didn't know Wu Pifu at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu shook his head. He walked in front of one of the two arriving \"employees,\" looked at the steel fork in its hand, reached out, and tore its throat and spine apart. Then, before the other \"employee\" could react, he stepped forward and arrived in front of it, smiling at it at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you thinking? Goudan... no, Jiujiu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter) ===== CHAPTER 65 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1982,"2026-06-17T19:09:27.946Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f39ca381f85929c19f0c5438b57b35fb1f6c38d2a752a5a1efa5a460b702466b","eternal-nightmare-night-chapter-34","eternal-nightmare-night-chapter-32",602,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-nightmare-night-cover.jpg"]
