Number 0 - The endless cycle of terrifying existence Number 0, that human-shaped white light group, is like the most mysterious ghost in the universe. It is a terrifying collection of creation and destruction. It has a somewhat similar but more complex nature to a black hole. Theoretically, it has three forms: observable, collapsed, and quantum, but so far humans have only witnessed its observable state. Going back to the Big Bang, it has already existed, quietly absorbing energy in a quantum state, like a greedy hunter hiding in the darkness. When the energy is absorbed, it appears in an observable state, like a demon emerging from the abyss. And when it contains the energy of the entire universe, it will collapse and explode. In this violent release of energy, a "new universe" is born, and it will return to the quantum state again, starting the next cycle. Its traces are everywhere, whether in galaxies, planets, or spaces beyond conventional understanding in the vast universe. Someone once accidentally glimpsed its figure in the creepy space of level0 in the back room, but before anyone could explore further, it disappeared like a ghost, leaving only endless fear and doubt spreading in the hearts of the witnesses. Astronaut's Desperate Report The video of the astronaut's observation report was like a cry from the depths of hell. His voice was full of fear and despair: "I don't know how long I have been in this ghost place. When you see this video, I may be dead. It is like an invisible demon, pulling me with a slow but irresistible force. When I gradually understood the truth, I was shocked I feel like this is not the first time I am trapped here. In countless reincarnations of the "old universe", I have been wandering in this nightmare-like place. We are like puppets, everything is ruthlessly determined by fate, and there is no possibility of escape. The so-called randomness is just a lie to ourselves. " The verses that record the birds - the death trap of consciousness. And the verses that record the birds are like a cursed spell. It seems to be just an ordinary vernacular poem: "In the burning coma*, birds fly* in the depths of the fire*, things are eternally dead." The deleted part in the data seems to be a secret deliberately concealed by darkness. Under normal circumstances, there is nothing unusual about it. It is so ordinary that it hardly attracts anyone's attention. At most, it is an incoherent sentence. However, once someone reads it, even just silently in their mind, it is like opening Pandora's box. The consciousness of the reader of the poem will be instantly dragged into a grassland at dusk, which is the beginning of the abnormal effect. During this initial stage, the affected person will feel an unprecedented sense of relaxation, as if their body has become extremely light, and their soul seems to be breaking free and flying. In fact, their body will actually begin to float. But this is just the beginning of a nightmare. Four minutes later, the sky began to burn violently like a ignited hellfire, and the flames seemed to engulf the entire world. [The horrific scene hidden in the deleted part of the data gradually emerges, and the huge and terrifying figure of the bird appears. It spreads its wings that cover the sky and begins its bloody preying]. The affected person has nowhere to escape in this horrific scene and can only watch as he is devoured by the bird bit by bit until his consciousness is completely eaten away. When all this ends, the consciousness of the affected person will return to the real world, but the terrifying shadow will forever leave its mark. From then on, whenever I saw dusk, birds or elements of fire, my consciousness would be uncontrollably dragged into the land of death under dusk again. Although it has been suggested that amnestics may be able to treat this condition, is this really the case? There seems to be a deeper hint of terror hidden in that poem: "Birds are alive, birds exist. It is impossible for prey to escape from birds. There will be more and more prey. The prey thinks that it can escape from birds if it forgets about birds. However, in the burning dusk, birds fly from the depths of the fire, The prey can never escape. In the end, the bird will fly to the prey's nest." This seems to indicate that no matter how hard people struggle, they can't escape this abnormal control. It is like an invisible net that tightly surrounds all prey, waiting for the final harvest. New Anomaly - Whispers of Silent Shadows There is also a new anomaly, which has no specific appearance and is more like an invisible existence. It lurks deep in people's dreams, and it will come quietly when people enter a specific rapid eye movement period during sleep. At first, people would only hear a slight whisper, which seemed to come from the distant void, vague but very bewitching. If an affected person attempts to discern the content of the sounds, their dreams will gradually become darker. In the darkness, vague shadows began to emerge one after another. These shadows slowly rotated around the affected person. Each shadow was like a trapped soul, exuding deep sadness. As the shadow rotates faster, those affected will feel a strong sense of oppression, as if the entire dream is crushing them. When the sense of oppression reaches its peak, the affected person will wake up from his dream, but when he wakes up, he will find that his body cannot move, and the whisper is still echoing in his ears, as if a pair of invisible eyes are watching them in the darkness, waiting for the next invasion. The Painted World - The Death Maze of Color Another anomaly is an ancient painting that looks like it was made by a skilled painter. The painting depicts a beautiful garden filled with colorful flowers and a winding path leading deep into the garden. However, when someone stares at this painting for a long time, they will find that the colors in the painting begin to come alive, as if they have come to life. The fragrance of flowers seems to be wafting from the painting, and the winding path seems to invite the viewer to enter the painting. Once someone is tempted by this and their body comes into contact with the surface of the painting, they are instantly sucked into the painting. People who enter the painting will find themselves in a maze that looks beautiful but is actually deadly. The surrounding flowers become extremely huge. Some flowers will open their bloody mouths and reveal sharp teeth; some will release poisonous pollen, causing the inhaler to fall into hallucinations. And that path keeps changing directions, making people lose their way in this colorful maze of death and never being able to find the exit. It eventually becomes part of the world in the painting, adding new colors to this terrifying picture. Another Self in the Mirror - The Destructive Mirror of the Self There is another anomaly associated with mirrors. In some ancient castles or abandoned buildings, there are some special mirrors. These mirrors look like ordinary mirrors, but when someone stands in front of them, the reflection in the mirror changes in an instant. The familiar self will become distorted, with eyes full of malice and madness. The "other self" in the mirror will begin to imitate the movements of the real self, but the movements will appear extremely weird, like a puppet with twisted joints. As time goes by, the real self will find that his body gradually loses control and begins to involuntarily imitate the movements of his "other self" in the mirror. And every imitation will cause a sharp pain in the body, as if the muscles and bones are being forcibly reshaped. If you cannot leave the sight of the mirror in time, eventually your true self will be completely replaced by the "other self" in the mirror, becoming a malicious and crazy existence that will continue to wait for the next victim in front of this mirror, continuing this cycle of terror.
