Chapter 166 Pain that affects the soul directly
This is a projection of the mental hospital, and also a projection of Jiang Che's consciousness.

Ding Ning looked at the dim light around her. She was moving very fast and getting closer and closer to the exit. There were no windows in this endless passage. If the lighting in one area was dim, the area ahead would be in darkness.

Can you escape?
Is there an answer to this question?

The sharp nails scratched Ding Ning's back, and a crack instantly appeared on the black leather jacket.

The torn clothes were like a punctured balloon. It didn't explode, but leaked air bit by bit.

The body she projected had no substance at all, it was just a body of energy.

Her current combat experience is enough for her to avoid some fatal injuries and use other parts of her body to resist.

When two consecutive scratches fell on Ding Ning's body, she felt the pain doubled.

When the first wound landed on her body, it seemed normal, but when the second wound landed on her body, she clearly felt the pain doubled.

"This kid's setting is quite interesting." Ah Hua's eyes lit up when she saw the setting.

It can be said that Jiang Che really gave the challengers a lot of opportunities.

"Because he really wants people to escape." Ding Ning ran in front, collecting crystals on the road and on the radar display.

Sometimes she felt that the path was not suitable and she would miss the crystals on the branch road, but she would always remember it in her heart.

Jiang Che wasn't lying when he said he hoped someone could escape.

The difficulty of this copy is obvious. The fact that Ding Ning could be injured is enough to show the pressure that the attack brings to the challengers.

The reason why Xiong Jie failed to pass the level was because he was besieged and killed by those white spirits.

But if you carefully avoid all attacks and rush towards the exit, you might actually have a chance.

The energy projection aura of Dingning gradually weakened as the wounds became weaker.

After the fusion of the spirit bodies, the attack power is getting higher and higher.

Even she couldn't avoid it completely.

"It's still a little insufficient with your current strength. What you feel is a minor injury may be unbearable pain for ordinary people." Ah Hua was constantly communicating with Ding Ning via microphone.

In this way, if ordinary people get a little scratched, they will be evaporated directly.

"Probably not." Ding Ning said while not stopping his steps.

"Wasn't I injured just now? I tried to transfer energy to repair it and continue to pass the level. However, after I transferred the energy, this copy seemed to detect that I had become stronger, and the intensity of the attacks it suffered was increased proportionally." Ding Ning said her guess. This was also the reason why she did not call on energy to repair her spirit body.

The pain will not be felt more strongly because of weakness, nor will it be felt more because of strength.

It is equal, no matter how strong you are, the proportion of pain you feel is the same.

The higher the frequency of damage received, the greater the cumulative damage intensity.

"It's really interesting." Ah Hua murmured.

From her birth to now, she has seen the levels of various dungeons and has also seen many principles of setting up dungeons by evil spirits.

They, the evil spirits, set up checkpoints not for their own people to pass through, but for their territory.

A setting used to strangle intruders.

Ever since the spatial bond between humans and the weird became weak, humans have been frequently transported to the world of evil spirits.

From that time on, these evil spirits knew that after an outsider successfully broke through, a portion of the original energy of the copy would be absorbed. Although it could be restored, it was always a negative consumption.

And they, the evil spirits, basically will not go to other evil spirit copies to challenge and fight for a little original energy.

Once they start fighting, it is to devour the evil spirit and absorb all of it!

It is better to absorb the world's energy to grow seriously than to use the little bit of original energy for passing the levels, so as to avoid fighting hard in other evil spirit copies.

After humans successfully pass the level, they can absorb the copy energy, and they can naturally get some benefits from humans.

Absorbing human fear will help you grow faster than absorbing the energy floating in the world's air.

As far as Ah Hua knows, all territories, all copies, and all levels are designed to expel and kill intruders.

Level setters never want intruders to escape.

Jiang Che was also the first "human" she had seen with a strange setting.

In the time it took to speak, Ding Ning's body was already covered with many wounds, and her spirit was becoming weaker and weaker.

Ding Ning's face turned pale. She patted Tuan Tuan in her arms, motioning her to get off her.

The pain caused by the wound is now a little difficult for her to bear.

Tuan Tuan obediently got off Ding Ning, squatted beside Ding Ning's throne, and looked up at his mother.

"How about we end it?" Ah Hua knew that she was stubborn and didn't know how to stop her.

She knew that Ding Ning would not cancel this operation unless he succeeded in breaking through the level or the energy body dissipated.

The huge carnivorous plant above the castle swayed slightly twice, and the purple mist became thicker and thicker. She did not dare to expand the purple mist to the entire copy, as this would inevitably attract the attention of other lords.

She only dared to surround herself with purple mist to block out any prying eyes.

"We'll be there soon." Ding Ning shook her head. The small radar in her mind initially only displayed the blood-colored crystals within a few meters around her, as the strength of the white spirit behind her grew stronger.

The little radar in her mind actually evolved into a detailed bird's-eye view map.

She could see the route that was as complicated as a maze, and she could also see the crystals on the map.

The later the stage, the clearer the player's perception of the map will be, and the more accurate and detailed the detection of blood crystals will be.

Ding Ning knew that this detailed map was not because Jiang Che recognized him.

She would not test Jiang Che, and she would believe in Ahua's ability. The disguise Ahua gave herself was absolutely top-notch and would not be recognized by anyone.

In this case, this detailed map represents the rules of the copy.

The further one goes, the more detailed and accurate the map will be in the mind of the challenger. He really wants everyone to leave and take all the blood crystals away from here.

Ding Ning knew that almost everyone in Hongzhu Mental Hospital died in her own copy. She did not feel guilty about the past. She believed that Jiang Che's obsession with the copy rules was not to blame herself for the incident.

He just went to the archives, looked at the information, and learned all the truth.

He just thought that his former self and everyone in the past could escape from that place at any time.

Ding Ning received two heavy blows on the back again, and her body swayed a little. The pain directly affected her soul. If she couldn't bear it any longer, the projected spirit would dissipate.
