Free Web NovelChapter 2402: Chapter 2402: The Corpse in the Wall
The trio was speechless.
The Girl in the painting quickly shook her head while holding the doorknob, indicating it wasn’t her strength, but the door’s quality was poor, breaking easily.
"The doorknob is broken, the door probably can’t be opened, we should switch..." before the Gemstone Earring Man finished speaking, he saw the Girl in the painting reach out and open the door, cutting his words short. After a pause, he changed his tone, "Could it be a trap?"
Whether it’s a trap was uncertain, they didn’t have time to consider as the floor beneath them began to move again, directly sucking the three of them in!
"The door!" The Gemstone Earring Man tried to grab the door frame, yet before his hand could touch it, the door, like the wall and corridor before it, was compressed and soon turned into grid size, quickly sealing shut.
"We’re trapped!" The Girl in the painting took a moment to express her shock, then began exploring the space behind the door.
The light behind the door was poor and the space small, but standing in the middle made it hard to see the surroundings. Xu Huo tentatively touched the wall, the uneven texture slipped under his palm, and instantly, like waves, spread afar, bringing the entire wall to life.
As the wall undulated, weak white light appeared, stretching from the spot Xu Huo touched into the distance, initially moving slowly, then speeding up. As the speed increased, the patterns on the wall began to collide, the weak white light expanded and brightened like sparks from the constant collisions.
Soon, Xu Huo and the others saw the wall’s structure—countless Four-sided Pyramids tightly joined together, layer upon layer. Although the entire wall was transparent, the combined and fluctuating pyramid structures caused visual distortion, making it impossible to see every part of the wall clearly, especially with the light fluctuating, it became even harder to discern.
"Is there a small black dot inside?" the Gemstone Earring Man pointed at a spot and asked.
Xu Huo saw it too, and the black dot was continuously expanding.
"Step back." He pulled the Girl in the painting who wanted to approach it.
They retreated to a layer of the wall, but over there wasn’t much better. The entire space became active due to their presence, the collisions between the pyramid bodies intensified, making the walls and floors rapidly undulate. Amidst flashing lights, the Gemstone Earring Man suddenly turned to look behind and exclaimed, "Who’s there?"
A person appeared in the fluctuating space, Xu Huo saw him too. The person was within the walls, arms raised defensively, eyes wide open. Due to the Spatial Body’s fluctuations, the facial expression was hard to see, but it’s imagined that when sealed in the wall, he must have been extremely terrified.
"It’s a corpse." The Gemstone Earring Man used a lighting prop, aiming it not directly at the man but on the adjacent Spatial Body, using reflected light to inspect the corpse’s condition.
"Supposedly a Player, unsure of how long dead, not someone who came with us."
"He’s sealed inside the space." Xu Huo frowned. "To think he died this way, trapped in the space."
"What’s so strange about that?" The Gemstone Earring Man indifferently said, "What’s the difference between people and items? Items can be destroyed by Spatial Power, why can’t humans be sealed by it? Some with stronger Spatial Evolution can even directly kill using rays inside the human body, much stronger than spider locks."
Spider lock controls and imprisons using Spatial Rays within the human body, killing directly using the body’s rays. Xu Huo knew of only two people who could do it: Lawrence Lee and Lady Palace of the Old Holy Sword Society.
However, their killing methods were mostly destructive, none like freezing people like this.
The person embedded in the wall was intact, without visible wounds on the body.
Was the corpse truly intact?
Xu Huo activated the Water Rubik’s Cube on him, under the Defensive Barrier’s protection, he reached into the wall—the seemingly dangerous and unbreakable Spatial Body just split right in two, while the original Spatial Body gradually divided into even smaller ones due to collisions. Instantly, the light reflected from the Spatial Body became vibrant, spreading like a colorful vortex, turning the entire wall colorful!
At the same time, Xu Huo grabbed the corpse within the wall, but the moment he held the arm, it suddenly cracked.
Truly cracked, the body automatically split into countless fragments, accompanied by the Spatial Body’s fluctuations, a three-dimensional human gradually distorted into a fragmented dislocated image, slowly dispersed, losing the human form...
Xu Huo expressionlessly retracted his hand, the Water Rubik’s Cube’s Defense Barrier also quickly fluctuating due to the collision with the Spatial Body, showing no sign of stopping. Because of the room’s change, he seemed wrapped in a layer of floating colorful light, exceptionally vivid.
The Gemstone Earring Man observed his condition for a moment before saying, "You must have a Super Instruments’ starting level at least, no wonder you dare to clash with the Spatial Body."
He said, pointing at the wall, "Bodies like this condensed from large amounts of Spatial Power may not be stable, sometimes a slight touch will cause them to scatter, then the burst of power could easily kill, so most people won’t actively destroy them."
Xu Huo certainly knew, before being sealed by the Water Rubik’s Cube, he could already successfully create five chaotic Spatial Bodies. Though not as stable as the Water Rubik’s Cube and spatial bodies here, the destructive power multiplied, achieving a qualitative leap, but without opportunities for further attempts and research yet. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Nonetheless, the stability of the Water Rubik’s Cube and the spatial bodies within the castle represent another height of Spatial Power, that is their self-order encapsulated within stable shells, regardless of how attacked, they can reorganize in chaos while his spatial bodies are merely chaotic Ray Blades combined spatial bodies, unstable, their destructive effects uncontrollably.
"This is a world of Spatial Power." He slowly said.
Spatial Power is the ruler here, they are merely the intruders.
"It seems there’s nothing good hiding inside here." The Gemstone Earring Man looked around at the room utilizing the flowing light, the small black dot that previously appeared in the wall had now turned into a corpse due to spatial fluctuations, looking like it had been compressed from elsewhere in the space, but soon just like the previous corpse, pulled into fragments and quickly disappeared.
"See if there’s a door to exit, there should be an exit door if there’s an entrance." He continued, "With such chaotic Spatial Power here, I can’t guarantee Uncle Ma will find his way here..."
"There’s probably no door." Xu Huo pointed at where the corpse disappeared. "We’ll very likely be sealed within the Spatial Body like those corpses."
