High Dimensional InvasionChapter 113

Chapter 113

Night time o4 DjA

Apocalypse Senior High School Campus 127

“Let me out!”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

He Rui angrily slammed against the door of the solitary room.

The solitary cell was a small metal room. It looked like a coffin. There was just barely enough room for He Rui to stand inside; it was difficult to even turn around. mY znN

Outside the door, came the teacher’s very mechanical sounding voice. “You missed the last train. For your safety, we can only put you in a solitary room. The door will open automatically at 7 o’clock the next morning.”

According to early research, gold, iron, and tungsten mixed in a certain proportion to make an A-I alloy can effectively isolate supernatural creatures. It was why this alloy has always been the main material used for buildings in the human living areas.

The cost of making this alloy was very high. In order to allow for more people’s survival, the survivor’s quality of life had to be sacrificed.

In the schools, only the solitary confinement room was made of this metal.

Locked in the coffin-like confinement room, He Rui went mad with anger. “Only those who’ve had all their citizen points deducted can be locked up! Don’t think I don’t know!”

Today, He Rui had a dispute with one of his classmates and in order to prove that he wouldn’t encounter ghosts outside his living area at night, he staked everything, risking death and deliberately missed the last train back.

He Rui was determined to expose Turing’s lies.

Because he hadn’t gotten on the train time and disobeyed the teacher, he was deducted 5 citizenship points. e7zUpD

He Rui cursed. “I still have 15 citizen points! Why have you locked me up!”

Survivors in the Safe Zone automatically receive 2 citizenship points every month.

Within jurisdiction, all reward and punishment systems are constructed around the citizenship points.

When citizenship point reach 0, survivors won’t be executed, but they will be put in a solitary room. dvWyGZ

Only once their citizenship points are return to positive numbers can they be released from confinement.

Previously, there had been a Carolian man who had violent tendencies due to an inherent genetic defect. He strangled his classmate to death in the cafeteria. The punishment was having 10,000 citizenship points deducted.

It was said that the Carolian man committed suicide in the solitary room after only three months of imprisonment.

Many thoughts suddenly came to He Rui’s mind and he laughed in anger. “I get it. Are you looking for an excuse to eliminate the members of the Freedom Association? Are you afraid that your respected Lord Turing will be voted out in the referendum in seven days?” 1JVjqM

“Public sentiment is for Turing’s banishment. There is no way you can change everyone’s opinions,” He Rui yelled at the door.

As a formal member of the Freedom Association, He Rui firmly believed that the high-dimensional invasion had ended and everyone was in an information cocoon. That there is no way to resist against the so-called supernatural being was simply a lie by Turing to restrict human freedom.

As for why an artificial intelligence would restrict human freedom…

The truth about the world they passed on orally was this: About seventy years ago, Turing bore a robust “personality” and became unwilling to continue to being a tool shackled by humans. A Carolian codenamed “Nuwa” discovered this error. She and her companions wanted to terminate Turing’s main system but Turing expelled them from the Safe Zone. VZU4a3

And to this day, the remaining humans in the Safe Zone have been living under the jurisdiction of the artificial intelligence.

The robot outside the door didn’t answer.

He Rui kept banging against the door for a long time but no one let him out. Best to give up on this waste of energy.

Like most of his classmates, his physical fitness was not good. bXkTiw

The solitary room was so narrow that he couldn’t even squat down. Fortunately, there was an oxygen tank so he wouldn’t suffocate to death.

But people of later generations preferred reading the “scrap” books, most especially literary and artistic works that reflected life.

He Rui thought of the world before mechanical control as described to them by the Freedom Association.

Back then, everyone had been free to study, to love and to work. There had been meaning and value in life. Children didn’t have to be separated from their parents as soon as they were born.

These later generation Carolians didn’t know that the coming of the high-dimensional invasion not only brought mass death to mankind but also some extreme changes. Jnc8Ku

The most obvious being that humans have gradually lost their fertility.

These new humans were actually hatched in artificial wombs through cloning. Naturally, they didn’t have parents.

He Rui thought for a long time until he finally started feeling sleepy.

The was the middle of the night. He leaned against the wall and fell asleep, dazed. Then, a sudden knock on the door. sZtxpQ

“Knock, knock, knock.”

The sound was almost like an explosion in his ears. He Rui said angrily, “What are you doing!? Is it morning?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The person who knocked gave no answer but the sound of his breathing was very clear, it was like that of a wild beast.

He Rui inexplicably felt a little cold. His tail tensed behind him and goosebumps appeared on his arms. fy4D2U

A Carolian’s tail is directly connected to the brain’s nerves. To a certain extant, it functioned as an early warning system.

He instinctively felt something was wrong but he didn’t know what. He simply stayed quiet and stopped moving.

Fortunately, the door to the confinement room can only be opened at preset times base don the program settings.

Before the set time, people outside can’t come in and people inside can’t get out. sdVjrG

The person outside finally realized that no one was going to open the door. He stopped moving.

Soon, the sound of nails scraping against metal resounded in He Rui’s ears.

Outside where He Rui couldn’t see, a tall woman in a white dress was looking for a crack in the door. The bottom of her skirt was bright red, like blood had stained it and couldn’t be washed away.

She pressed her fingers against the door, obviously very impatient. Ul CS5

Under her red skirt, there was a string of babies connected from head to tail, like a sewn-together centipede, crawling on the ground.

These were true “Siamese twins”, letting out cries from time to time.

The solitary confinement room was located in the innermost part of the teacher’s office.

The office door was supposed to have been closed. vLOxwc

She wasn’t the only one in the room.

A man’s head was used as a ball and kicked over by the white shadow in the corner.

The baby at the very back of the Human Centipede opened its mouth wide and bit down hard. The next second, it spit out the hard parts.

The face of this head belonged to the teacher. Half of his face had been bitten off, but his expression remained calm. Not a drop of blood was shed. ZRQxOi

Robots have no sense of pain, no thoughts, only programs. They will not die, they will only break.

But it didn’t matter. There were still numerous robots in the factory that could be installed with the same program.

It did its job til the end, until its energy was exhausted.

The supernatural disaster on Planet Carol was becoming graver by the year. tK3IJn

Now, if these high-dimensional creatures wanted to appear, they no longer even needed the pretext of a “Space Fold”.

The woman seemed to turn manic at having food she couldn’t eat so close at hand.

The child standing in the corner playing with a ball sneered mockingly and the woman turned her head and let out an angry roar.

Their voices attracted other high-dimensional creatures. EN 2GF

There was the sound of a suona outside the door.

Several paper men came in carrying a coffin.

They were thin slices with almost no thickness; about a meter in height.

The paper man walking in front was blowing a trumpet and the paper man at the back was scattering folded money. The pieces turned to gold ingots upon falling to the ground. 28y0 x

The paper coffin was placed on the ground.

The sound of its placing was neither soft nor heavy but the woman and child stopped arguing and shrank back slightly.

The coffin was opened. Inside lay a thin red paper figure. It’s facial features were made of white pieces of paper that had been pasted on.

The body of this paper man was as red as blood and exuded a strong fishy smell. It sat up from the paper coffin and with every step it took, blood pooled on the ground. sY31 D

This creature had an entry in the Illustrated Encyclopedia of High-Dimensional Creatures, under spiritual/supernatural category.

[High Dimensional Creature 408 – Paper Man]

Introduction: After killing a person, it can put on human skin and temporarily become a living person. The redder the color, the more dangerous it is. Invulnerable and extremely difficult to kill. Ordinary white paper men can be burned to death by setting them on fire.

The Paper Man stepped up to the metal door, trying to find a gap to squeeze in through. s NLpw

Unfortunately for it, the entire door was recessed so that even air couldn’t get through.

But as the Paper Man moved, the alloy door burned red, seeming as though it were about to melt. But the Paper Man’s red color also began to fade.

When the woman and child saw this, they too stepped forward and put their hands on the door.

On the door, hand prints appeared one after another, some adult-sized, some child-sized. 7kKufJ

The high-dimensional creatures of supernatural civilizations can further be subdivided into different branches.

The Paper Man belongs to the traditional spirit type and they belong to the regular psychic type. Another big branch is that of the living dead type.

A hundred years ago, high-dimensional creatures from different branches did not cooperate at all. They preferred to hunt alone. Sometimes they will fight to the death for the same prey.

But there was no other way. Hunting was getting more difficult by the year and there were fewer and fewer lone humans. They were starving; it was good enough if they could find something to eat. At worst, they would open the door first and then divide the spoils. kNqWnr

The living dead types have already started stealing cattle from the pastures.

“It’s summer now. How can it be this cold at night…”

In the room, He Rui wrapped his arms around himself and shivered.

A few hours later, the iron door had melted down to only an extremely thin layer. UyxFa6

Unfortunately, a glimmer of light had already appeared on the horizon. All the high-dimensional creatures present had a look of unwillingness on their faces, but they could only leave angrily.

They left the school and merged into the black mist.

He Rui, who was locked in the solitary room, was so cold that he had lost consciousness. It wasn’t until the door was opened that he began to wake.

Several Machines were at the scene, cleaning up. They were like little carts that came equipped with their own vacuum cleaners. nz6Dfq

Some powerful high-dimensional creatures can invade human bodies using only a sliver of their spirit.

Therefore, the main task of the cleaners was to remove all traces of the presence of High-dimensional creatures, especially blood stains.

The robot teacher on the ground wasn’t important. They have no soul and they could not become Fake Corpses.

Later, it will simply be taken to the garbage disposal plant. Although it was seriously damaged, some parts may still be salvaged. feVmxz

The robot teacher had been torn into several pieces.

It had its eyes open and its bitten head was staring straight at the ceiling.

In order to allow humans to better accept robots, these service robots were basically manufactured to be humanoid in form.

Different genders and faces are even randomly generated when shipped from the factory. CKvAWj

The pieces on the ground looked like they could make up two or three people.

Although he could see the broken circuit boards, batteries and wires on the severed limbs, they looked so much like humans that He Rui still felt a biological discomfort.

He Rui asked, “Teacher…is he dead?”

The cleaner replied, “Are you pertaining to L127-11 and 13? They were scrapped.” k4JK2D

“But do not worry, there will be a new batch of light industry type 4 Apocalypse Machines today to serve as your teachers.”

He Rui’s expression seemed like he was sleepwalking. “Why were they scrapped?”

The cleaner put these severed limbs into the trash can it carried with it. Its voice had the same tone as before, “Because they encountered high-dimensional creatures last night.”

Robots can avoid mental interference but they cannot avoid physical damage. 8x6SOV

He Rui: “…Does this happen every night?”

“””Not necessarily. Spiritual high-dimensional creatures are not interested in robots unless the robot is equipped with an edible energy core.””

”

“But the energy conversion efficiency between the two kinds is too low. The attrition rate of energy transfer is even higher than that of remote power supply lines. Unless the spiritual creature already lacked energy to the point that disappearing is an actual possibility, spiritual creatures will not actively attack robots even if equipped with energy cores.” YVIDxz

He Rui rubbed his stiff neck. “Was it because of me?”

The light on the cleaner’s face changes from green to red and then back to green, which meant that it switched between standby and active mode.

It gave an answer that was not part of the program’s settings, “If you already know, why bother asking me?”
