172: Zhang Lingshi, the truth of the world
"Negative World? Such a world exists?"
Well, no matter. After all, he had transmigrated here.
Perhaps by understanding each world one by one, he could find the door back to his original world.
Although it was a bit adventurous.
But all of this was worth it.
Because even King Yama Hades couldn't pinpoint which human plane Lin Mo came from.
So, it was even more worth exploring.
As for whether Lin Mo's current strength would allow him to successfully find the truth, that was another matter.
"According to scientists' research, negative energy is a concept that exists in certain theories, for example, in quantum field theory, the energy of the vacuum state can be regarded as negative energy. Dark matter is a substance that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, and is detected through gravitational effects."
"Some scientists also believe that so-called dark matter is negative energy, the cornerstone for constructing the Negative World. Dark matter accounts for about 26.8% of the total mass of the universe, while visible matter only accounts for about 4.9%, and the remaining 68.3% is dark energy."
Lin Mo entered it, and the dim tunnel appeared to be artificially constructed.
And at the base of both sides of the tunnel, there were white-glowing indicator signs.
The entire world seemed overexposed, everything was in inverted black and white.
Like an old black and white movie.
Except the colors were reversed.
And the Ghost Servants beside him, their formerly vibrant clothes now dulled, as if their overall abilities were severely suppressed.
Their expressions even showed some unease... but not a single Ghost Servant spoke out.
"Negative World, and also High-Tier Battlefield, Lord of Mysteries..."
Lin Mo felt this was a grand game of chess.
Each piece was like a hunter groping in a dark forest.
The path ahead was shrouded in dense fog, completely unaware of their location, and ignorant of any exit.
They only knew to draw their weapons at the slightest sound of movement.
Only then could they ensure their safety.
Now was the time to explore here; the rest of the wild thoughts could wait.
"Dong Xiaowan, make some paper figures to scout ahead for me."
"As you command, my Lord."
Hundreds of paper figures lined up in a long queue, moving mechanically along the dim passage.
Their pale bodies in the Negative World emitted an eerie black and white, leaving strange colors with every step in the inverted black and white world.
However.
After a while, only dozens of the paper figures returned.
The rest were nowhere to be found.
Lin Mo chose the path where the paper figures had safely returned and continued forward.
At the end of the path, a surgical room door lit up.
Upon pushing it open... [You have entered the Bizarre Operating Room]
Before him, on a hospital bed, a headless corpse lay with its abdomen cut open.
However, this headless corpse could still emit gurgling sounds... "Playing tricks! Cut him down for me!"
— 4.56 trillion
— 4.61 trillion
...Just then, a huge, bulging object burst out from inside.
It was a giant eyeball.
The blood vessels behind this eyeball propped it up like tentacles.
[imperishable bone. Gaze]
[Introduction: An object composed of various dark, eerie, and filthy thoughts from the Positive World. He gazes at you, you gaze at him; he desires eternal life.]
"Oh? The description of this thing and that doctor's desire for eternal life are somewhat similar."
This large eyeball seemed to have no offensive power.
It just scurried around.
"Could this be the treasure from the treasure map?"
"Catch him for me."
Dong Xiaowan's slender hands flew, and the gold foil paper interwoven like living things, instantly constructing a brilliant cage.
The eyeball monster crashed into the gold foil cage, immediately letting out an ear-piercing shriek. The cage door opened, firmly trapping it inside!
"Stop your damn screaming!"
Lin Mo poked the imperishable bone's big eye with the stick in his hand.
"They say Minions have big, cute eyes, but you're just one big eye, let alone cute, you're terrifying people to death."
He poked it again.
The other party wailed once more... [Congratulations! You have gained: 1 point of Clairvoyance]
Lin Mo: "?"
He poked it again.
[Congratulations! You have gained: 1 point of Clairvoyance]
He poked it yet again to confirm.
[Congratulations! You have gained: 1 point of Clairvoyance]
What the hell is Clairvoyance?
He quickly checked his attribute panel.
Sure enough, a new attribute, Clairvoyance, appeared after his Blood Qi.
[Introduction: Clairvoyance, the ability to perceive the origin of the world. The higher your Clairvoyance, the more truths of the world you will know, and you can break through previously undetected shackles imposed on yourself.]
Lin Mo: "???????"
He understood less and less.
So hard to comprehend.
However.
It seemed he could break the shackles on his body.
Lin Mo began to examine himself, and indeed, it was different from what he had originally discovered.
On his left calf, a soul ring had appeared.
There was also a tag on the soul ring.
It displayed his name, age, attributes, and current various statuses... This made him think of something.
There was a type of electronic ankle monitor in his country.
It was something criminal suspects had to wear after being released on bail.
The police could always find your location.
To prevent you from fleeing justice.
Could it be... Lin Mo instantly thought of a possibility, that this thing was the electronic ankle monitor Lord of Mysteries had put on him.
To allow the other party to know his movements at all times.
Lest he exceed his envisioned scope... or safety boundaries.
He tried to undo this soul ring, only to find that he couldn't touch the thing at all.
As if it were virtual and non-existent.
"Forget it, let's continue exploring. Anyway, it's been on me for so long, a little longer won't hurt."
Leaving this operating room, the next was an organ culturist.
Organs, one by one, were submerged in formaldehyde, still pulsating non-stop.
Among them were half-grown dead children and cadavers of anatomy teachers.
Many were covered in lumps, some had mouths full of teeth, and faces covered in eyes.
It seemed to be caused by cancerous mutations.
Their faces were twisted in pain.
"Will these glass jars suddenly shatter and attack me if I walk into the middle?"
"This plot device is a bit old."
"Break these glass jars."
Lilith extended two two-meter-long blood spears from her hands, instantly piercing through two rows of glass jars... — 1.5 trillion, pierced!
— 1.3 trillion, pierced!
... — 1.56 trillion, pierced!
[You have successfully killed "Cancerous Pain" and gained 60 billion experience.]
[You have successfully killed "Cancerous Pain" and gained 60 billion experience.]
... [You have successfully killed "Cancerous Pain" and gained 60 billion experience.]
Sure enough, these monsters were waiting to ambush him.
He dealt with them first.
So, entering a room, finding something amiss, a flurry of attacks.
Sweep, done.
All in one smooth motion...
