The World's Contrast After SAN Drops
SCP-049 has been completely contained. As for how the Foundation in the Death World uses him, or how they learn about Abomination through him, that remains to be seen.
Then we'll leave Shen Hui's matter alone.
Consciousness returns from the Death World to the Real World.
I opened my eyes, and the dark room was no longer dark.
Instead, it is filled with radiance, a sacred radiance.
Bathed in light, the branches and leaves flourished, and beautiful plants blossomed from the edges, beginning to spread outwards.
It was so beautiful, a beauty I had never seen before.
How wonderful it would be if the whole world were this beautiful.
All these changes felt so real; Shen Hui knew it wasn't an illusion.
It was because of the strange phenomena that were occurring to him...
Just as Shen Hui was savoring all of this wonderful experience...
There was a rapid knocking on the door.
It even turned into a violent crashing sound.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, and a familiar, ugly creature rushed in.
"President..."
Shen Hui subconsciously said the other person's name.
At this moment, Chi Yan couldn't help but shudder when she looked at the environment of Shen Hui's room.
Filthy flesh writhes and multiplies in the dark room, and Tentacles with eyes spread from the corners of the walls outwards.
This space has been eroded.
It has been eroded by the world of Shen Hui Creation World...
"Shen Hui! What are you doing!"
This loud shout pulled Shen Hui back from that wondrous state.
All the strange phenomena that appeared in the room quickly dissipated into the air.
"President... I'm sorry, I accidentally opened the Creation World..."
Shen Hui looked at the pitch-black room; it was a completely different world compared to what he had just seen.
And that ugly creature from before...
Shen Hui... seemed to understand; the SAN value dropped and he went into a frenzy.
Everything that was originally there will be turned upside down, and one's perception will be reversed.
Things I had known, seen, touched, and understood for decades.
Including myself, everyone turned into Unspeakable, terrifying things...
And those things that were originally Unspeakable and terrifying...
It then became the most wonderful thing in the world.
Imagine living a normal life for over twenty years, and one day your parents tell you that you were formed from a mass of maggots.
They even turned into maggots right in front of you.
The world we live in is nothing more than a latrine.
Those Unspeakable things that you previously feared are human beings, are the things of the human world.
From childhood to adulthood, I have been taught that I am a human being.
If you found out you were a maggot in a toilet, could you accept such a complete upheaval of your worldview?
You've accepted that everyone you see, your friends and family, are maggots, and that you're surrounded by piles of dung.
That's insane!
Even if you're not crazy, if you tell others the truth about the world, they'll think you're insane.
This is the best explanation Shen Hui can offer.
The madness caused by the actual drop in SAN values is a thousand times, ten thousand times, even a billion times more terrifying than Shen Hui's hypothesis!
It was a feeling that could not be described, but could only be understood intuitively.
But Shen Hui had come to understand, at least to some extent, and was no longer afraid.
This is a sign that the World Level is about to break through, and the power of the Death World will be reflected back onto Shen Hui.
"Phew, that scared me to death! I'm so glad you're alright..."
The lights in the room were turned on, and a blinding white light dispelled the darkness and illuminated the room.
Shen Hui covered his squinted eyes with his hand, not yet able to adjust to the situation.
Everything that just happened seems like an illusion, as if it never existed.
"Remember to take control of your Creation World... Your Creation World is filled with collapse and death."
Chi Yan recalled everything she had just seen in the darkness.
I clearly sensed how dangerous it was.
"Understood, President. There will definitely not be a next time."
Shen Hui made a promise, and Chi Yan left the room.
The door, which was already cracked in two, was closed, but it was as if it wasn't closed at all.
"Remember to fix the door tomorrow."
Through the huge crack in the door, I watched Chi Yan's retreating figure as she returned to her room.
Shen Hui gave an awkward smile, took a deep breath, turned off the light, and went to sleep.
The next day, Shen Hui woke up naturally, and it was already noon.
Today I need to complete the paperwork for the Starry Sky Leaderboard.
Otherwise, they would be hoping to earn resources through the Starry Sky Leaderboard.
I got up, washed up, and called Ye Long.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hey, Brother Shen, what are you doing?"
"Things are all settled. I'm getting ready to complete the formalities for the Starry Sky Leaderboard. How's it going? Have you and Xiao Xiangyan finished it?"
"You finally have some free time! Yesterday was the last day we went to apply, and now you're the only one who hasn't joined the Starry Sky Leaderboard yet."
"Many people are still criticizing you."
"Oh? What are you yelling at me for?"
"Ugh, this is infuriating! Come out and talk, I'm at the World Association right now."
Chi Yan was no longer at home, and Shen Hui didn't ask where she had gone. He went straight to the World Association.
Upon entering the World Association, they saw Ye Long sitting alone on the sofa in the lobby.
"Brother Ye, what's wrong? Is there something going on with the Starry Sky Leaderboard?"
Shen Hui walked over and sat down next to Ye Long.
Upon seeing Shen Hui, Ye Long immediately said, "You've finally arrived. Otherwise, I was thinking of going to see you this afternoon."
"Rumor has it that someone is planning to kick you off the Starry Sky Leaderboard and has offered a price for it, so everyone assumed you were scared when you didn't come yesterday."
"Oh?"
Shen Hui seemed a little surprised.
Who is it? What price did they offer?
"Who it is, we don't know, but... it's most likely Ji Xinfeng. We don't know what price he offered, or whether anyone will take the bid. Right now, it's just a rumor."
"So, Brother Shen, please be careful."
Ye Long advised Shen Hui.
Shen Hui nodded calmly on the surface, but his heart had already turned ruthless.
"It seems necessary to try and make this Ji Xinfeng disappear from this world."
A plan had already formed in Shen Hui's mind: to take advantage of the turmoil that the Giant God Cult would launch a few days later.
They took advantage of the opportunity to take action against Ji Xinfeng.
Shen Hui patted Ye Long on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll see who dares to mess with me, right?"
Shen Hui knew about the elimination mechanism of the Starry Sky Leaderboard.
The ranking is based on points, and each hundred people are divided into five tiers.
The higher the class, the greater the reward.
However, under normal circumstances, people in the first class are those who were the first to enter the Starry Sky Leaderboard.
The second class naturally refers to those who entered in the second term...
Shen Hui and his classmates, being from the last cohort, naturally ranked within the bottom 500, placing them in the fifth tier.
To break into the fourth tier means competing with those who entered the Starry Sky Leaderboard in the previous year.
It's difficult in a short time.
Besides completing tasks and earning points in the Starry Sky Battlefield, you can also challenge other players within the same rank.
The winner will be able to claim a certain number of points.
Players who accumulate zero points or whose rankings remain unchanged for an extended period will be eliminated.
For Shen Hui now, the fastest way to eliminate him is naturally to have his points reach zero.
But would Shen Hui be afraid of challenges from within his own class?
