Chapter 205: Chapter 119 Gate of Purgatory_3
No time limit, no rules limit, nothing specified, just survive.
As the countdown of the trial ends, the trial officially begins.
Li Xiu waited inside the room for a long time, but nothing happened. The silence in the white room was terrifying.
"Is it really just surviving until the trial ends?" Li Xiu muttered to himself but found he couldn’t hear his own voice.
Li Xiu frowned slightly and tried kicking the white wall, initially just to see if he could make a sound, but after the kick, he discovered he couldn’t feel any pain in his foot.
He kicked a few more times, still feeling no pain, but after taking off his white shoes, he found his foot was already somewhat swollen.
"This trial has deprived me of hearing and touch." Li Xiu sniffed at his arm and found he couldn’t smell anything.
He licked his arm; his taste was gone too.
"Only sight remains," Li Xiu thought silently to himself.
He tried summoning the demon spirit but couldn’t. He tried drawing the contract but couldn’t, just like in the normal Trial Ground, where contracts and demon spirits can’t be used.
He tried using skills; skills could be used, no difference from the usual Trial Ground.
Li Xiu sat in the center of the room, calmly observing the room with his eyes. The room was all white, no patterns or gaps, no visible changes.
In such an environment, it’s easy to become mentally fatigued, making one want to sleep.
Li Xiu didn’t sleep, silently counting in his mind. From the moment the trial began, he was counting, from the start, now over a thousand count.
There’s nothing, nothing to do, no knowledge of when the trial will end; Li Xiu just sat there counting.
Time passed, second by second, Li Xiu counted, unlike a madman; each count corresponded to a second.
Later, because numbers got too long, each count corresponded to several seconds, effectively timing.
In Li Xiu’s timing, he had been here for six hours but oddly found he wasn’t hungry at all.
"Been six hours, still no hunger. Is my brain moving time fast, or have my body’s sensations disappeared?" Li Xiu stood up, walked to a white wall, and used Passionate Blood, punching the wall.
The wall showed no response, Li Xiu felt nothing, but his fingers were bloodied, seemingly with broken joints.
Li Xiu didn’t stop the bleeding, then slowly walked around the room, tapping the walls as he walked.
But with no touch and no hearing, even if the walls were empty behind, he couldn’t differentiate like this.
"Is it possible that there is an exit in this room, but we can’t find it due to only having sight?" Li Xiu looked at his hand wound, its healing speed seemed the same as outside.
Because of the demon spirit larva inside him, his wounds would heal quickly.
But Li Xiu roughly knew the healing speed; it’s similar to outside, proving the time flow inside isn’t altered, not like the mythical one day in Heaven equals a year in the Mortal World.
Li Xiu marked the position, punched the wall again; he wanted to see if there was a way out inside this room.
Every punch hurt him; even though his body could quickly heal, with no pain, Li Xiu clearly understood that healing these wounds required consuming energy.
Not consuming his energy but the demon spirit larva’s energy, energy must be consumed.
And he now felt nothing, even if his body’s blood ran dry, before death, he’d feel nothing.
Li Xiu strongly doubted the previous Trial Takers who entered here. Surely some tried to pound walls with their bodies like him, hoping to find a possible exit.
But he felt nothing, maybe not even realizing he was dead after pounding to death.
Li Xiu dared not let himself bleed too much; that would make his body unable to persevere. He marked some points, only needed to probe those, couldn’t test every position in the room.
Time passed for a long time; Li Xiu finally tested all the marked points, but none of the walls could be pierced, not even a hint of a mark left.
"Looks like this room has no way out." Li Xiu sat down again.
He didn’t have high hopes initially; the trial rule just said to survive till the trial ends, not saying there’s a way out, the chance of leaving was low to begin with.
But if waiting like this means passing the trial, how did those people die?
Could they have gone mad after staying too long here and all committed suicide?
It’s indeed possible; a person locked in such a place for years without knowledge of when the trial ends might despair enough to commit suicide.
"Is it really going to be years?" In Li Xiu’s timing, twenty-four hours had passed; if the trial didn’t end in three days, it indeed would be problematic.
No matter if the body spent years or only the brain felt years, enduring that isn’t easy.
Li Xiu noticed that although he felt nothing, he could feel tired, wanting to sleep.
Li Xiu forced himself not to sleep, continuing to count in his mind.
One day... two days... three days... four days...
On the fourth day, he already knew, Chu Jun’s description wasn’t wrong; his brain’s perception of time might genuinely have issues, might genuinely be decades or even years here to complete the trial and leave.
Fifteen days, Li Xiu was still alive, confirming that the body’s experienced time and the brain’s experienced time are definitely different.
The human body, even feeling nothing, can’t survive fifteen days without water; definitely, the brain’s time judgment is faulty.
"What exactly went wrong?" Li Xiu frowned, pondering.
