Chapter 260 Lao Mo's Knife
Chapter 260 Lao Mo's Knife
"Song Rentou entered the school on the afternoon of the 2nd of last month, attended the roll call at 9 pm, and attended the roll call normally for the next three and a half days, but disappeared for two days. He signed in again on the morning of the seventh day, and then left the campus in the afternoon."
"It looks normal, but he didn't sign in for three and a half days, which is a big problem..." Tian Bufan seemed to be thinking about something.
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yes, but unfortunately, during these three days, the class teacher at that time seemed to know nothing about his whereabouts."
"You are being too arbitrary." Tian Bufan denied, "The class teacher will definitely not tell you all the information. She was able to share Song Rentou's sign-in record with you because of the clue you provided her with the scrap of paper."
"When you leave the office, she'll no doubt look up some records or something."
"So far, we haven't seen anyone in the teaching building who can be responsible for students' behavior other than the class teacher, so I boldly speculate that among the many methods and measures of the class teacher, the sign-in list may be just a basic record-keeping method..."
Lin Yi's eyes showed a look of realization.
Tian Bufan continued, "Let the bullet fly for a while and see how the class teacher handles the matter of Song Rentou... Let's talk about other things. Do you have any progress?"
Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang and said, "Yes...it has something to do with H-manga."
Wei Liang looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, as if we didn't know anything.
Seeing this, Lin Yi continued, "The H comic contains clues about the invasion of gray fog in past generations, but it's a bit messy..."
He then explained the specific method of interpretation, and Tian Bufan nodded slightly after listening: "I'll try it this afternoon."
Lin Yi said: "Okay, but it's easy to lose layers if you take in too much information at once, so be careful."
"Okay, I know what to do." Tian Bufan replied.
Lin Yi asked in return: "Did you find anything?"
Tian Bufan said: "The information is limited. I was planning to talk to the sports students again, but unfortunately, none of the sports students came to class. It can be seen that the situation over there may be very serious."
"So I spent some time walking around the teaching building, mainly to check out Building D, the areas above the fifth floor, and the basement level."
Lin Yi asked in confusion: "Can we contact them even when the weather is normal?"
Tian Bufan pondered and said, "I have a new hypothesis... The mountain has always been there, but we can't find the way into the mountain, so we think there is no mountain. However, the mountain is over there, and sometimes you don't necessarily have to go into the mountain to see it."
Lin Yi was inspired and asked, "You mean... Building D always exists even during the day, but we just can't see it?"
Tian Bufan raised his hand: "This is the real world."
"There is the back of the hand and the palm of the hand."
"But for some reason, in our perception, the world is like this..."
He clenched his fists.
"When the layer becomes abnormal, the fist turns into a palm, and the path from the back of the hand to the palm extends."
"Combined with the issue of moss production distribution you mentioned earlier, I reversed the folding method of Building D at the spatial level..."
Lin Yi was surprised and asked, "What did you come up with?"
"I found the general location of Teaching Building D and the fifth floor and above, but there is no way to get there." Tian Bufan said, "Seeing the mountain and entering the mountain are indeed two different concepts."
"But what's interesting is that nocturnal species seem to have some kind of power to travel through layers..."
Lin Yi quickly asked: "What do you mean?"
Tian Bufan said: "I caught a few nocturnal species and threw them onto the D-building corridor bridge that I deduced."
"Then what happened?"
"They drilled towards Building D at an extremely fast speed, just like a pool of liquid encountering a sewer fence and seeping in."
"Of course it's a shame that they didn't make it and were killed by the sun."
"Wait a minute, how did you catch the nocturnal species for the experiment?!" Lin Yi was a little confused. Doesn't this mean that you are fighting against Tiangang? Weren't we just avoiding them before? How come we are now the host?
Tian Bufan said calmly: "Snakes are very scary, but if you find the right method, snake meat is also delicious."
"Of course, I also found some interesting things..."
As he spoke, he pulled out a petrified egg-sized ball from his trouser pocket and threw it into Lin Yi's hand.
Looking at the ball in his palm, Lin Yi's eyes almost popped out and he cried out in surprise: "Damn, isn't this a light bulb?!"
Tian Bufan shrugged. "Based on your description, I spent some time looking for the location of the 'battlefield'. I don't know if it was a coincidence or something else, but that location is near Building D, which is the library. These are the remains I found nearby."
"If you look closely and put it under the sun, you can clearly see it absorbing sunlight."
Lin Yi quickly took it and pointed it towards the sun.
A magical scene appeared. When it faced the sun, the whole thing became transparent. The stone-like surface seemed to disappear, and in its place was a spherical gem as transparent and pure as crystal.
When it absorbs sunlight, a layer of glass-like floating light appears on the surface...
At this moment, Lin Yi's ears were once again filled with the familiar "clang, clang, clang" sound of the wind. His vision began to flicker. Black, white, and gray were mixed with some shattered colorful dots of light, which danced wildly in front of him like an overly rendered two-dimensional animation. The gem in his hand seemed to have turned into a blazing ball of light at this moment. The concentric golden lines turned into a scorching red gold color as if an electrified tungsten wire...
“Bang, bang, bang, bang…”
Lin Yi's vision flickered, and in the countless shattered lights, it seemed as if a pair of eyes slowly opened!
Are those angel eyes?
Or... the eyes of "He-I"? !
Lin Yi subconsciously loosened his hand holding the light bulb, and it fell to the ground with a thud. The crisp sound was like a heavy hammer hitting his feet.
As his palm loosened, everything in front of Lin Yi's eyes quickly disappeared, and his vision returned to its original place.
"Hu, hu, hu..." His face was pale and he breathed greedily, as if at that moment he had even forgotten to breathe.
"What did you see?" Tian Bufan patted Lin Yi on the back and asked with concern.
"It's not that I saw something, but...something saw me!" Lin Yi's forehead was covered with beads of sweat as dense as soybeans. He swallowed his saliva, his eyes wandering, "I must have been spotted by an angel..."
"Don't be nervous. Didn't your homeroom teacher give you advice? Go to the gym after dinner and solve the problem as soon as possible." Tian Bufan supported Lin Yi and comforted him.
"This is the only way now." Lin Yi squatted down and reached for the light bulb. But just as his palm touched the light bulb, a pair of black rubber boots appeared in his sight. At the same time, a dry voice slowly sounded in his ears: "Don't move..."
As the sound appeared, an indescribable strong feeling of oppression came down like the ceiling collapsing, making his body tense instantly.
But strangely, apart from the feeling of oppression, he did not sense any malice.
So after a moment of hesitation, he raised his head slightly.
The next moment, a figure against the light appeared in his field of vision, startling him.
"You... Lao Mo?!"
He is still alive...? !
Lin Yi was extremely shocked.
But the old Mo now looks different from what he remembers.
The shoes on his feet were changed into long rubber shoes made of the same material as the black bib. The chef's uniform on his body was spotless, but it exuded a horrible smell that made people feel very disgusted and uncomfortable. The blue bib on his chest had turned into a black bib again.
He held a butcher knife in his hand. Some sticky liquid seemed to be dripping from the blade of the butcher knife. But the strange thing was that the liquid seemed to be there and not there. It flowed down from the blade like liquid nitrogen, but when it dripped, it evaporated into an illusory white mist...
Lao Mo's attention had always been on the light bulb, and when he heard his name being called out, he was slightly moved, and a hint of spirit appeared in his empty eyes.
Lao Mo bent down, moved closer to Lin Yi, and sniffed gently.
"You...have...his...smell...on...your body..."
As Lao Mo spoke, he reached over Lin Yi and picked up the light bulb on the ground.
He held the light bulb and closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something.
Lin Yi's vision was slightly distorted, and he unknowingly entered the "my vision" state. Then he saw that the sunlight condensed in the light bulb, like golden hair, penetrated into Lao Mo's palm, and then melted into his arm bit by bit.
The power in the light bulb quickly dissipated and became lifeless.
After doing all this, Lao Mo slowly opened his eyes, then reached out and handed the completely petrified light bulb to Lin Yi.
"Give it back to... you..."
His movements had a mechanical feel, especially when he stretched out his hand in front of Lin Yi, and then opened his fingers one by one to reveal the light bulb.
Lin Yi looked at Lao Mo in shock. If he hadn't known Lao Mo's origins through the dream, he would definitely treat Lao Mo as a super evil chef.
"Uh, okay...ok." He reached out to take the light bulb from Lao Mo's hand.
But at this moment, Lao Mo's stiff movements suddenly became swift as if reborn. Before Lin Yi could react, his wrist was clamped tightly by Lao Mo.
Lin Yi was shocked and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand away, but he found that Lao Mo seemed to be made of steel and could not be moved.
"Don't move... I'll only... say... once..."
Lao Mo's voice rang in Lin Yi's ears, still without any malice, only a sense of oppression as strong as a mountain.
At the same time, Lao Mo's other hand holding the butcher knife suddenly moved...
His eyes missed Lin Yi's body and stared at the shadow behind him, then he raised the butcher knife high.
"I...saw...you..."
There was no expression on Lao Mo's face as he swung the butcher knife down. At that moment, Lin Yi seemed to feel a cool breath spreading out from Lao Mo...
"This feeling...?!" Lin Yi's heart trembled. Every time he crossed a layer, he would have a similar feeling!
It seemed that Lao Mo pulled him into his own layer through physical contact? !
"this……?!"
Lin Yi subconsciously moved sideways, his eyes following Lao Mo's blade to look at his own back.
You don’t know until you see it. Once he saw it, he was instantly scared to death!
There is no shadow behind him! !
Yes, it's just a dark door!
No, to be more precise, the portal merged with his shadow. The shape of the portal was the outline of his shadow. Even when he turned around, the outline of the portal changed with the change of his shadow!
And in the depths of that path, there is actually another layer of horror hidden!
On a dark rainy night, the stairwell of the teaching building was struck by lightning and turned white and black, and the angel with a strange smile was soaking wet and folding his wings...
The horror in the dream just shone into reality and appeared in the dark world behind the door!
The Laughing Angel penetrated the layers. Could it be that he was locked onto by just his imagination? !
No, no, no… Perhaps it was the result of many factors intertwined, such as his unintentional idea and the pollution brought by the Russians, but no matter what, he was locked by the Laughing Angel!
He was targeted by a smiling angel who theoretically specialized in hunting art students!
But at this moment, the gate seemed to sense Lao Mo's threat, and ripples appeared on the surface of a lake hit by a stone. Before Lao Mo's knife could hit the gate, the gate disappeared.
Under the sun, only Lin Yi's shadow was left.
Lao Mo's butcher knife was hanging in the air, and his movements were frozen. It seemed that at this moment, he had transformed from the god of killing into a stiff puppet-like existence.
Lao Mo let go of Lin Yi's wrist.
As the physical contact progressed, Lin Yi felt the warmth of the sun enveloping him again, and the cold layer faded away like water.
He had a feeling of surfacing.
"Huh..." He almost forgot to breathe, and only at this moment did he exhale quietly.
Lao Mo glanced at him and said, "Before you have the strength...hide it...well...don't...charge...it...it will...bring...bad luck..."
"Otherwise... throw it away... or take it to... the gymnasium..."
"They will come looking for your mark again... Only going to the gymnasium can remove it..."
Thanks to book friends "usjdnshhs" and "琳skylark" for their rewards! !
