Chapter 303 Hallucination 4016
Chapter 303 Hallucination... "4016"
Li Huiyuan was so fascinated by what she saw that she forgot to paddle for a moment and her body slowly sank into the water until the water from the swimming pool touched her nose and choked her. Only then did she shudder and quickly come to her senses.
"It's too weird!" Li Huiyuan couldn't help but shivering. She looked at Lin Yi again. There were still waves of light around him, but there was no longer the feeling of the broken and blending of light and shadow.
It seemed that the scene she just saw was just an illusion.
Just then, she saw Xu Shunkang, who had changed into a swimsuit, enter the swimming pool and go straight to the boss.
Xu Shunkang said something to the boss, but the boss's expression did not change at all, as if everything was as expected.
Xu Shunkang was stunned for a moment, but saw that the boss was telling him something again. Strange colors flashed in his eyes, and finally he quietly retreated.
Lin Yi also noticed this scene, but didn't know what happened.
Just when he was distracted by this, another voice called out in his ears:
【Lin Yi...】
At the same time, he seemed to feel something cold and gloomy quietly wrapping around his feet...
"?!"
His heart was shocked and he found that his feet really could not move and were about to sink.
He quickly held his breath, then submerged himself in the water and looked down at his feet.
He didn't find anything on his feet that could be entangled, but he immediately noticed that due to the change in light and shadow, a beam of light and shadow fell on his feet, and the location of the shadow suddenly produced a strong sense of grip, as if it had entangled his feet.
He tried to stir the water, but the light and shadows under the water were not affected by the waves.
He felt that the restraint of the shadow was becoming stronger and stronger, but this non-physical thing was beyond his understanding and resistance, so no matter what he did, it had no effect.
【Lin Yi...】
He heard that sound again.
[Lin Yi...I am Wei Liang...]
【I am Wei Liang...】
A terrifying call became clearer and clearer in his ears...
His vision suddenly flickered, and he suddenly realized that the tiled bottom of the swimming pool that should have existed beneath him had disappeared at some point, and underneath him became an endless, deep, dark cave...
Although he was in the swimming pool, he was instantly enveloped by a fear of the deep sea...
The dark abyss seemed to have some kind of magic power. The shadows entangled his legs like materialized tentacles and began to spread upwards little by little like tentacles...
At the same time, the deep voice came intermittently from the dark abyss like an echo in a valley...
【I am Wei Liang...】
I drowned at the seaside...
[You looked for my body... but you didn't find it...]
[The one next to you is fake...]
Don’t trust him…
[Don’t…believe him…]
[Believe me...Lin Yi...]
[I'm still here...Take me back...]
[I am…right here…]
[Come quickly... come quickly...]
In the dark abyss, the clanging sound of iron chains was better transmitted through the water, overlapping with the intermittent sounds, as if some strange existence was calling out through onomatopoeia.
However, in the dim space where light and shadow intertwined, he seemed to see a vague outline gradually emerging. That thing looked like a corpse or something else. It was tied with iron chains, and the other end extended into the dark void.
That figure... really seemed to be Wei Liang.
Its skin was an unnatural grayish-blue color, like the texture of an ancient sculpture that had been through the baptism of time, and the texture of its clothes was covered with moss...
It's a sculpture...
A broken, chained sculpture, like the ones in the abandoned Class 18 of Group C, except this one is somehow locked in the water and is still floating.
If it wasn't locked up by the chain, Lin Yi even suspected that it would come directly to him.
[Lin Yi... look at me...]
[Look at me...]
[You will know everything if you come and see me...]
【Come on...】
[Come on…]
Lin Yi had a strange feeling in his heart. He wanted to go over and take a look, but he also had some instinctive resistance...
He didn't believe that it was Wei Liang, but curiosity was pounding in his chest.
However, the abyss slowly expanded before his eyes...
He did not approach the abyss, the abyss came to him.
He jerked.
He remembered that he was in the water!
And in water... you will sink!
He raised his head suddenly, but his heart felt cold.
"really……"
He had clearly just held his breath and put his face under the water, but when he looked up now, he found that he was already a considerable distance away from the water surface, and the feeling of restraint on his feet had disappeared.
He swam quickly upstream.
Upstream...upward...
"Um?!"
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill down his spine.
He was horrified to find that he had lost control of his body!
It’s not that the feeling of restraint has disappeared, but... he can no longer feel that feeling of restraint!
Even though he had already gone through recovery training, this "special effect" that had absolutely nothing to do with "injury recovery" really left him helpless!
“Gurgle…”
He tried to struggle and bubbles came out of his mouth.
“Gurgle…Gurgle…”
He didn't even have a chance to struggle, and just sank down in obscurity.
He felt that his will was terribly clear, but his body had lost the ability to resist.
He looked at the ripples on the water. The hazy light was like the mist floating in the primeval forest after the rain, vague and ethereal.
He was like a huge fish quietly floating between water and sky, with his belly facing the sky and sinking downwards, giving off an eerie beauty of a falling whale.
But his body size cannot be called a whale fall, it can barely be called a shark fall.
What was even more strange was that he felt that the "primitive pollution" in his body was terrifyingly calm, and he couldn't even sense the flow of supernatural power in his body.
He was becoming more and more like a driver of a large machine. When the entire machine was paralyzed, he could only watch helplessly as the machine sank into the abyss while sitting in the cockpit.
The feeling of powerlessness enveloped him deeply, even surpassing the horror brought by the fear of the deep sea.
"Lin Yi!"
“Lin Yi!!”
Hazily, he seemed to see a figure appear on the water, and the hurried calling voice flowed through the water into his ears.
But his mood was calmer than ever before, as if the other party was not calling him.
In a trance, a blurry picture appeared before his eyes...
In the picture, there is a figure sitting next to him and talking to him.
"In that case... you must have a name..."
"Is the name... important?"
"It's very important." "Then just pick one at random."
"Hey, you're not mistaken. I told you it's important! Hey, hey, hey, stop eating snacks and pick a name first!"
The figure seemed to grab a bag of snacks from his hand.
"snack……"
"Lin Shi? What a ridiculous name! You are the 'protagonist' this time, why don't you take it seriously?"
"This is my first time... the protagonist... so don't call me snacks, call me Zero-One..."
"Hey, you're not really that casual, are you...?"
"well enough."
Lin Yi's eyes were filled with blurry images. Everything in the image was blurry, except for the voice that sounded like that of an old acquaintance. The only thing that was clear in the image was when he said "Zero One" at the end...
A number appeared before my eyes...
“…01…”
The edges are blurry, but you can vaguely see a "4" on the left and a "6" on the right.
"4016".
……
"Lin Yi!"
"Lin Yi!"
“Plop—”
The figure broke through the water's surface and dived down, as nimble as a mermaid.
“Lin Yi! Lin…Lin Zi!!”
It’s Li Huiyuan.
She swam in front of him and grabbed his shoulders with both hands.
The two looked at each other.
But Lin Yi's eyes were obviously a little dazed.
Li Huiyuan hesitated for a moment, and then, thinking of taking advantage of someone's misfortune, she came over quietly, trying to breathe air into the person like a mermaid.
The two faces got closer and closer...
then……
With a "bang", the two people's swimming goggles collided with each other.
The charming atmosphere was instantly ended by the swimming goggles. Li Huiyuan first uttered an "ouch" in the water, followed by a series of "gulp...gulp...gulp..."
She grabbed Lin Yi's shoulders and began to float up, and soon lifted Lin Yi out of the water.
Then she brought Lin Yi to the swimming pool and pushed him to the shore. She stood beside him with her heart beating wildly. Her face turned red and the heat on her forehead was almost as hot as the blood-red steam of the physical education teacher...
The eldest brother glanced at Li Huiyuan, who was inexplicably "red and warm", with a strange look, as if he saw through her little trick, and pursed his lips to try not to laugh.
"Boss!!!" Her little trick was seen through, and Li Huiyuan, who was blushing, glared at the boss angrily, "He didn't notice it, you are not allowed to tell anyone!"
The boss flicked her head and jokingly said, "Just because your goggles were bumped against yours... does that count?"
"I..." Li Huiyuan was suddenly choked with anger, and felt like a little puffer fish that was about to explode.
At this time, Lin Yi lay silently by the swimming pool, not daring to say anything.
In fact, when Li Huiyuan grabbed his shoulders, he began to recover from the strange atmosphere. However, before he could regain control of his body, Li Huiyuan attacked him...
Even though she had slipped her hand, uh, or her mouth, he would never dare to say anything.
After all, Lu Yunfei once made a bold statement that a real man is born between heaven and earth and should be inferior to others when necessary.
The eldest patted his belly and said, "If you recover, get up and tell me what happened."
Lin Yi quickly got up and looked at the boss without blinking: "I'm hallucinating again..."
"What did you see this time?"
"……abyss."
The boss's hand, which was stirring the water, suddenly stopped.
"Say it again."
"abyss?"
"Be more specific, what does it look like?"
Lin Yi described the scene he saw, and then secretly glanced at Wei Liang.
Wei Liang... seemed to be having a great time swimming with Xia Lian. He was howling like a ghost over there, looking like he was in both pain and happiness.
He added: "I also saw a humanoid figure, I don't know if it was a sculpture or something else, locked in the abyss by a chain, and it seemed to be calling my name..."
“Otherwise, there is nothing else.”
“Abyss… iron chains… human figures…” The boss lowered his eyelids and sighed slowly, “It’s hard to imagine that you can survive until now.”
"Boss...I think you said this last time."
"I didn't understand you last time, but now that I understand you... I feel even more deeply."
"I just realized that any training I gave you seemed to only awaken some of your inherent abilities, but could not really improve you."
The boss's look was a little complicated.
"It may be a little abrupt for me to ask this, but before you entered the school...what did you do?"
"I am a... university student majoring in architecture..."
"anything else?"
"That's not the only thing you remember, is it?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.
Then, some vague images seemed to appear in my mind again...
Somewhere that looks like an operating table...
A room full of bookshelves...
A dormitory that looks normal...
And...the number "4016" that just appeared recently...
His eyeballs began to move rapidly left and right, his eyes flickered, but his whole body remained still like a sculpture.
"Okay." The boss's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Boss...?" Lin Yi was puzzled.
"Don't think about it." The boss seemed to have thought of something, "I will remember what I should remember."
"Boss, can we not tell in riddles?" Lin Yi said bitterly.
The boss shook his head: "Riddle? I just said it casually, did you misunderstand something?"
"Uh……"
"Continue swimming once you've recovered." The boss said calmly, "It looks like the 'ashes' in your body have been almost completely absorbed. If nothing unexpected happens, we can solve this hidden danger before it's too late."
Lin Yi silently went into the water. Although he was very reluctant, he couldn't help but ask: "What if something unexpected happens?"
The boss glanced at him and said, "You'd better pray that nothing unexpected happens."
"From what I know, there is an angry angel waiting for you on your way back."
"Speaking of angry angels, it seems that the physical education teacher killed one?" Lin Yi asked. He heard the teacher say that he repelled them, but he was very confused, so he took the opportunity to bring it up.
The boss shook his head: "Just repelled."
"Then... I feel like the teacher dragged an angry angel into the office."
"Just a... shell."
