Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1477 The Broken Boundary

When Lin Yu first heard about the situation in "Central", he recalled a famous theory mentioned in a well-known domestic science fiction masterpiece that he had read out of boredom during evening self-study in high school.

The "Dark Forest Theory" suggests that the universe is like a dark forest, where every civilization is a hunter with a gun, and no one dares to reveal their location.

This situation is indeed very similar to that in Central.

In the original work, the protagonist used this theory to "deter" the alien civilization that coveted Earth—although Earth's technological level was far inferior to that of the alien civilization, it could prevent the alien civilization from making any rash moves by "broadcasting coordinates" in a mutually destructive way.

That's why the [two-way radar] creates chaos.

What Cheng Shuang is doing now is even more outrageous than the [Two-Way Radar].

It was as if she had suddenly opened a display screen in the middle of the universe, and started scrolling through the coordinates of all civilizations.

This way...

The original "dark forest" law and "deterrence" theory have completely failed. Everyone has been suddenly unpacked. The old balance... is not just broken, but instantly and completely shattered and disappeared.

In this near-madness, there's only one thing everyone can do...

Following "habitual thinking," they launch a frenzied, indiscriminate attack on anyone they can see and attack.

Because this is the "optimal solution"!

Almost instantly, this area of ​​"forbidden authority" transformed into a hellish landscape, where countless prisoners engaged in a brutal struggle—fighting until death.

Then, resurrected from a brief "death," and appearing in a new place... once again enveloped in light.

Subsequently, they were forced to begin a new round of fighting.

Even though everyone's extraordinary power has been weakened by hundreds or thousands of times, the energy within this area is still incredibly turbulent.

Sensing the endless chaos around him, Lin Yu looked at Cheng Shuang.

"So... what's the next step?"

Although everything in front of them was chaotic, it gave them a lot of freedom to move around.

But Cheng Shuang still didn't tell anyone else...

What should they do when this area descends into chaos?

Cheng Shuang said, "There is no authority in the area we are currently in. The nearest thing that seems to have the aura of 'authority' is in the adjacent 'Conservation Taboo' area."

"So... what we need to do now is to quickly cross the 'Boundary Wall'."

Lin Yu looked at the tall wall: "Should we climb over? But... the 'Guardians' probably won't allow it, right?"

Cheng Shuang shook her head: "No, it's impossible to climb over... The supreme rules here do not allow anyone to cross the 'boundary wall,' so we 'pass through' it."

"As for the 'guardians'... they're not omnipotent. They're just prisoners who stayed here after their sentences were over and were promoted. Even though they have some special privileges, they're not particularly powerful. So... we just need to stay out of the way."

Upon hearing Cheng Shuang's words, Lin Yu immediately recalled the scene of being carried through the wall by Yong Chang of Nevernight Sky.

However, he did not reveal any related information, but instead spoke up.

"'Passing through'... what method should we use to get there? Dig a hole?"

Cheng Shuang shook her head: "No, of course it's not about digging a hole... Perhaps you haven't noticed, or have barely noticed, one of the biggest secrets within this 'eternal cage'."

“All the ‘walls’... are alive, and possess a will!”

"The wall of boundaries, the wall of separation... are essentially two similar creatures and life forms."

"Whether it's an insurmountable boundary wall or an insurmountable dividing wall, the essence is simply that they are all extraordinary beings born into a superior position!"

"So... the best way to cross the 'Boundary Wall' is naturally to make it... 'lose consciousness'."

Hearing this, Lin Yu was utterly shocked.

He immediately realized... why his mental energy was being blocked from extending inwards when he was climbing the dividing wall, and why he couldn't use the [Gray Spirit Eye] to traverse through walls as he usually did.

because……

This thing possesses spiritual power—his spiritual perception was blocked, which was essentially the same feeling he had when he saw that some beings with exceptionally strong willpower and extremely powerful spiritual power were being prevented from seeing them!

Lin Yu simply didn't realize at the time that the two were the same!

Or rather, although Lin Yu realized that the two were the same, he did not consider the possibility that the wall was alive!

Upon realizing that these sprawling, terrifyingly long and tall walls were "living entities," Lin Yu gazed at these dark, towering walls from afar, imagining himself surrounded and encircled by them, and instantly felt a deep unease from the bottom of his heart.

An invisible, indescribable fear welled up in Lin Yu's heart—just realizing this fact and noticing the existence of the wall was enough to trigger an uncontrollable instinctive reaction in Lin Yu.

Moreover, they also want to...

"Make this wall lose consciousness? How?"

Lin Yu asked subconsciously.

Cheng Shuang said, "Of course, we should put it into a 'sleep' state."

As she spoke, Cheng Shuang looked at Lin Yu again.

"Do you... possess the ability in this area?"

Lin Yu spoke very sincerely: "How could I possibly possess such abilities? What are you thinking?"

“I just had a gut feeling that you might be able to,” Cheng Shuang said nonchalantly. “Well, my gut feeling isn’t accurate, and it’s often wrong… Since you don’t have the ability in this area, I’ll do it myself.”

As she spoke, Cheng Shuang raised her hand and activated some kind of ability again.

Some autonomous machines emerged from underground again—but compared to the various animal-shaped autonomous machines currently on the walls, these machines had a very uniform appearance.

Emerging from the ground were tens of thousands of low-lying, four-legged creatures with strangely long noses and bodies that were half black and half white.

While ordinary people might not know what this thing's prototype is, and might probably think it's some kind of being from the Ten Realms, Lin Yu recognized it...

"It's an Asian tapir?!"

Lin Yu called out the names of these animals.

"Yes, the real-world prototype is the Asian tapir, but I'm using its legendary imagery here... 'Dream Tapir'."

As Cheng Shuang spoke, the Asian tapirs rushed from all directions underground towards the corner of the wall, skillfully avoiding the battlefield and dodging attacks amidst the chaos, and then...

They arrived at the base of the border wall.

However, these Asian tapirs did not climb to the top of the wall like the previous machines.

These Asian tapirs stood at the base of the wall and then inserted their mechanical noses into the base of the wall.

then……

A "twisting" power once again emerged from these machines.

Then...

The silent, tall, and majestic "border wall" began to tremble.

Although the frequency of the tremors was very subtle, the exaggerated size of the boundary wall was enough for Lin Yu to feel the resonance transmitted through the ground.

This tremor naturally alerted Lin Yu...

Cheng Shuang wasn't joking.

This wall is indeed alive.

And she seems to actually have a way of making the wall "lose consciousness".

at the same time……

Cheng Shuang's earlier statement, "Gathering together every still weak and strange individual will create a powerful force that even the gods cannot ignore," was not a joke.

None of her self-regulating mechanisms are very powerful.

But when thousands of machines are performing the same function...

Lin Yu suddenly realized that this meant that the "Eternal Cage" here had weakened her power by a thousand times, and had even disappeared completely invisibly through this form of dispersing individual power and then regrouping!

This is a method that is almost like cheating, specifically designed to circumvent the "restrictions" within this "eternal cage".

At the same time, Lin Yu also anticipated something.

"So, Cheng Shuang's true strength... is enough for her to take down this wall all by herself in one go?"

"Or rather... she isn't actually that strong, but her 'core ability mechanism' just happens to prevent her from being severely weakened by the restrictions of the 'Eternal Cage,' and instead allows her to thrive in this cage?"

Lin Yu pondered, unable to analyze Cheng Shuang's true strength for the time being.

However, he was still certain...

Regardless of Cheng Shuang's situation, this guy is definitely more complex than I imagined!

While Lin Yu was pondering...

The "boundary wall" of the "forbidden power" area in Central also slowly... fell underground amidst this tremor!

Like a giant beast returning to its lair to rest and sleep, Lin Yu watched as the wall slowly but surely sank into the ground, gradually becoming lower, like an oat bar placed on yogurt.

About a few minutes later...

Most of this "border wall" has disappeared.

As the "Boundary Wall" disappeared, the mechanical Asian tapirs also sank underground.

The autonomous machines that were suspended high above the lights remained in place and began to hover in mid-air, seemingly "flying".

The lights also shone on other areas shrouded in darkness—after the "boundary wall" of the "Forbidden Power" area disappeared, the original separation from the other two areas in Central, plus the two sinful areas in Outer Ring, was completely broken.

The five regions that were originally independent and separate... have now merged into a new and huge whole.

The two areas on the outer ring road are relatively easy to deal with...

In the other two areas of Central, the criminals who had violated the "taboo of the soul" and the "taboo of conservation" immediately fell into the same madness and chaos, and started an indiscriminate melee!
