Chapter 37: Return, Harvest

Wu Pifu's muscles were all tense, and his alert state far exceeded that when facing the wild boar demon before.

Don't look at him opening the controllable possession state the first time he faced the wild boar demon, but that was to achieve the kill with minimal damage, not facing a desperate situation.

But now, Wu Pifu didn't even have the courage to open the controllable possession state. The thing outside... is too terrifying!

Even if he didn't see it with his naked eyes, even if separated by a door, he now had goosebumps all over his body. If he had to describe it, it was equivalent to the terror of ten paper men, or five wild boar demons stacked together.

This is definitely a BOSS-level monster!

Even Jiu Jiu, who was still in her sleep, was instinctively awakened by the monster's approach, which shows how heavy it is.

Now Wu Pifu has no other way. The door of the utility room is not strong, and the monster outside doesn't seem to be trying to break the door with all its strength. I don't know if it's holding a playful attitude, or if it has no intelligence itself.

The biggest possibility is that it was attracted by something, either the living breath of him and Jiu Jiu, or the breath of the wild boar demon flesh he cut down.

Wu Pifu gently let go of Jiu Jiu's mouth, shook his head at her, and then picked up an iron frame and piled it on the door, and piled some heavy objects in the utility room on top of it.

(Now there are still about twenty or thirty minutes left before the twenty-four hours end. According to my previous experience, this should be the moment when various small and big monsters of the "Weekend" begin to rampage and discover the existence of us "outsiders." As long as we can survive this period, we can return safely...)

Wu Pifu thought silently in his heart. After pressing almost all the heavy objects in the utility room on the door, he said to Jiu Jiu in an extremely low voice: "If we die in a while, don't move around after resurrection, confirm the situation of the location, if there is no immediate crisis of death, then lie down in place, if there is, run immediately, keep delaying time, injuries don't matter, nod if you understand."

Jiu Jiu's eyes were full of fear, but she still nodded obediently.

At this moment, the thing outside the door suddenly increased its strength, and the entire door had a tendency to be squeezed into the utility room.

Wu Pifu didn't dare to speak again, but topped the iron frame with his whole body, his Qi and blood burst to the extreme, his arms, waist, and legs, with an explosive force of about one point five tons, topped up directly, causing the metal frame to bend, and the entire door was pushed back bit by bit.

Seeing this scene, the fear in Jiu Jiu's eyes began to gradually dissipate.

But this didn't last long. As time passed minute by minute, the monster outside the door suddenly increased its strength again, and the entire door was pushed inward bit by bit again.

At this time, Wu Pifu's whole body had begun to ooze blood beads again, and at the same time, a large amount of steam rose, turning into a pale red blood mist and beginning to permeate.

Even so, the door was still irreversibly dented and pushed inward bit by bit. Just as it was about to be completely pushed open, Wu Pifu closed his eyes, opened them, and then his eyes turned blood-red again. The next moment, the door was pushed back bit by bit again.

And at the joints of Wu Pifu's arms and wrists, a large amount of blood burst out immediately. His arm muscles and bones seemed to be squeezed into juice by some powerful pressure. As he entered the controllable possession state, there were no more protective restrictions on his whole body, and his huge strength even exceeded the limit that the physical body could reach.

But this state could not last long. Wu Pifu also knew that he was now delaying the final time, and he would delay as long as he could.

But this time, it only pushed the door back for less than two minutes. The monster outside the door increased its strength again, and this time the strength was unimaginably large. Not only was the entire metal door torn apart, but the outer wall of the utility room was also shattered. Then Wu Pifu and Jiu Jiu saw hundreds of heads extending from the darkness of the sewer, looking at the two with a very strange gaze.

"... Wu Pifu! There is an exam tomorrow!"

A palm patted Wu Pifu on the shoulder, making Wu Pifu, who was dozing off, shudder. He was a bit dizzy, and suddenly thought that he was about to have a class, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't mess around, Li, Wang, Zhang... who are you?"

Many names flashed through Wu Pifu's mind, but suddenly he felt strange, because this voice was both familiar and strange to him, and he couldn't call out the name at once. He turned his head to look at the direction of the voice and the arm, but he saw a strangely smiling head floating in the air facing him, and then the next moment, everything around began to dissolve, the classroom, the desk, and even himself...

When Wu Pifu opened his eyes again, what he saw was hazy. He was in a semi-transparent liquid, his whole body solidified by this liquid, like a bug frozen in amber. And as he woke up, unimaginable pain came from his whole body. His hands, feet, body, and even his head were slowly dissolving.

"Not good! Corrosion!!"

Wu Pifu was shocked in his heart, because this was not death, because although his whole body was dissolving, he could still feel the dissolved part, not digested, but transformed, turned into another life form, and was fusing with other lives!

He was being corroded rapidly!

And if you lose self-consciousness and anchor cognition of reality when being corroded, such as falling into hallucinations, then you will not be able to return to the real world!

Just as Wu Pifu thought so, he saw Jiu Jiu not far from him, whose body was also dissolving, and about one-fifth of her body had disappeared.

And before he could do anything, his consciousness became hazy again...

"Pifu, eat more." A gentle female voice sounded.

"Summer vacation ends tomorrow, remember to listen carefully in class." A slightly majestic male voice sounded.

Wu Pifu was burying his head in eating. As he ate, tears rolled into the rice bowl. For a moment, he couldn't bear to lift his head.

He knew that all this was a hallucination. If it were someone else, they might see their parents or classmates, but his inspiration was too strong, plus the blessing of the Huang Lian fragments, and perhaps the role of the Sleepless Spiritual Sense of the Tiger Demon Art, so he could see the truth and break free from these hallucinations.

But...

Why use his parents...

Wu Pifu lifted his head silently, and sure enough, he saw two floating heads facing him with strange smiling faces, and then everything began to dissolve again...

Wu Pifu opened his eyes again, and parts of his eyeballs had begun to dissolve, and Jiu Jiu not far away had one-third disappeared. Once the corrosion degree exceeds fifty percent, it means you are no longer a human, or a "life" recognized by the Main Brain. By then, it will be impossible to return to reality.

"Give it to you! Take it all!!"

Wu Pifu used his last physical control, without any restraint, Qi and blood flowed backward, his eyes were blood-red, and he rushed his entire consciousness sea into the depths of mental negativity.

In an instant, the solution wrapping Wu Pifu began to boil. This semi-transparent solution began to turn pitch black, and countless black breaths spread from Wu Pifu's remaining flesh, staining everything around like ink.

At the same time, the moment Wu Pifu fell into possession, his Sleepless Spiritual Sense controlled him to let out a final roar, like thunder and whistling, spreading from this solution to the surroundings. The first to be affected was the nearest Jiu Jiu. She opened her eyes wide, and then tears gushed out, followed by those heads with strange smiles, each stopped smiling, first confused, then painful, and then they began to gradually dissipate.

In just a few seconds, this huge monster completely turned pitch black, and then all the solution began to evaporate, and Wu Pifu and Jiu Jiu, who were in it, had lost their traces and disappeared in this sewer.

After another moment, the sewer above suddenly exploded, and a man wearing bone armor fell from the sky. He looked around, and reached out to touch the ground. At this time, two more people fell on the street above the sewer, a man and a woman. The man held a long staff with an alien head and spine, and the woman held a colorful bead.

"What is it?" the woman asked.

The bone armor man shook his head and said: "Dare not confirm, but an extremely strong source of pollution just broke out here, and the pollution number reached the million level!"

The man with the staff and the woman with the bead were both shocked. The man with the staff said immediately: "Million level!? That's at least baseline reality zero point five!?"

"More than that!" The woman with the bead's face became serious. She said: "Pollution data is the most intuitive manifestation of terror. Baseline reality zero point nine is one to one hundred, then zero point eight is one hundred to one thousand, zero point seven is one thousand to ten thousand... converted like this, the million to ten million level is the baseline reality zero point four category... the realm of gods and demons!"

The bone armor man listened to the two people's words in silence. He looked up at the sky and sighed: "It's too late this time, the 'Weekend' is about to end, and the task of chasing the remnants of the Human Revolution Alliance has not been achieved, especially... 'him'!"

The three were silent, and then their bodies gradually faded and disappeared.

Wu Pifu opened his eyes wide, flipped up, and looked around nervously. At this moment, a chirping sound came from above his head. The next second, Jiu Jiu, holding a piece of yellow paper and a black object the size of a fingernail, landed on his shoulder, and tilted her head to look at him.

Wu Pifu breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, confirmed that he was indeed in Gaia, and then collapsed to the ground, and said to Jiu Jiu: "You fat bird, why were you so easily corroded into a dream?"

Jiu Jiu was furious, threw down the things held in her beak, and the whole bird hit Wu Pifu's forehead, and kept pecking at his forehead.

Wu Pifu's mood relaxed instead. He picked up the yellow paper and the black object, and was about to throw them away, but he didn't want to. The moment he touched these two items, the Main Brain's voice rang in his mind.

"Important information discovered... judgment completed, Level 2 maintainer Wu Pifu, whether to provide important information, can exchange for one of the following options."

"Job title judgment promoted by one level."

"According to your current power system, randomly obtain a basic cultivation technique that matches baseline reality zero point seven to zero point five."

"Transmit five hundred carbon-based nano units."

"Awaken ten Level 1 maintainers."

"Please choose."
