Chapter 304: Anyone who inherits the power of an angel will eventually become an angel's phanto
Chapter 304 "Anyone who inherits the power of an angel will eventually become a phantom of an angel"
""shell"……?"
"Carrier, do you understand?" The boss looked at him deeply, "Anyone who inherits the power of an angel will eventually become the phantom of an angel."
"'Anyone who inherits the power of an angel will eventually become an angel's phantom'..." Lin Yi murmured to himself. His intuition told him that this sentence must have a "warning" version.
"No, boss, did you see the angry angel who was chasing me?" Lin Yi suddenly slapped his head and said in surprise.
"You're making so much noise, it's hard not to notice." The boss said calmly, "Besides, seeing the angry angel...is not a big deal."
"Oh... what does that 'shell' mean? Is it just like a game account? The Angry Angel can log in, but the one the teacher killed was just one of its 'accounts'?"
"'Game account'?" The boss was puzzled. "What is that?"
"Uh..." Lin Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that the boss had never played the game before. He couldn't help but respect him. "It's just that it is very illusory. When needed, it will enter the body of other...people or other creatures, and then that thing will become a 'wrathful angel'. Is that right?"
Hearing this, the boss nodded: "That's fine to understand."
"Each angel sculpture has its own characteristics. When the Wrathful Angel was born, it had an origin. Whenever it takes action, it will hide a small portion of its origin in a safe place beforehand, and then control the fake body to act."
"For example, if it leaves behind 30% of its essence, then the fake body will have 70% of its essence. If the fake body is killed, 70% of its essence will be lost, but the remaining 30% will still allow it to regenerate, and after a period of accumulation, it can be replenished to 100%."
"A furious angel like this who rushed into the gymnasium openly must have been fearless. I estimate that the furious angel's fake body that was chasing you contained less than 20% of its original essence, otherwise it would not have been killed in one second by the teacher."
"The Wrathful Angel... turns out to be like this." Lin Yi murmured, "If we want to kill it, don't we need to kill all of its origins?"
"Yes."
"Then if he splits up his origins into several, each turning into an angry angel, and they act separately, wouldn't that be very powerful?"
The boss glanced at him and said, "The total amount is constant. If it is dispersed, it will be easy to be defeated one by one. Besides, there will always be some creatures that can track the rest of it through part of its origin... In short, this is not something you should consider."
"Boss, why don't you tell me more about the Laughing Angels and the Alien Angels? After all, I am a thorn in their eyes... no, food in their eyes."
"We can talk later. Just swim for a while first." The eldest patted his hand that was holding onto the edge of the pool. "Go swim by yourself. You don't need me to throw you away again, do you?"
Lin Yi consciously let go of his hands and swam away silently.
"Go check on him and don't let him swim to the deep water." The boss glanced at Lin Yi's back which occasionally appeared above the water. He felt a little obsessive-compulsive and really wanted to kick him.
"Oh, okay!" Li Huiyuan responded and swam over nimbly.
Lin Yi, who was swimming in the front, suddenly felt waves behind him. Turning back, he saw Li Huiyuan catching up with him and soon hovering not far from him.
"We can go back a little further. The boss said not to go into the deep water."
"Deep water area?" Lin Yi was slightly startled. "I almost forgot, I seem to have been in the shallow water area all the time?"
"You know that too!" Li Huiyuan curled her lips. She had returned to normal after being red-hot. She couldn't help but ask, "What happened to you just now? How could you sink to the bottom of the shallow water? And you could even see the abyss... I feel like sometimes you are very normal, and sometimes you seem to be more abnormal than I was yesterday."
"You mean... I just sank to the bottom of the shallow water?" Lin Yi didn't pay attention to Li Huiyuan's complaints, he only heard the key point "sunk to the bottom".
Li Huiyuan said: "Yes, you were swimming and suddenly you lost your energy and sank. I saw that you didn't move at all, so I didn't think you had a leg cramp!"
"Then I swam over and called you."
"It's ridiculous. The shallow water is so shallow. Even if you are in the shallow water close to the deep water, your toes should be enough to keep your face above the water, right? You are such a big person, and you can still sink..."
Lin Yi didn't mean to quibble. He was used to hallucinations. And judging from Li Huiyuan's reaction, he should just be hallucinating and not losing a level.
The way the layer drops is very simple, just like when he came to the gym for the first time, he saw some people walking on the road and then they disappeared. That was the layer dropping, and they went to the non-existent road.
If the layer is lost, people will also experience changes in physical space, such as disappearance.
In the case of hallucinations, the person is still there, but has some mental problems, but the "main body" is still in the original place, for example... becoming a vegetable.
Lin Yi took a look at the direction of the deep water area.
There is a buoy between the deep water area and the shallow water area, and there are also text signs on the shore. In addition, another blue-colored tile is used on the bottom of the swimming pool, which divides the swimming pool into two distinct areas.
Compared with the shallow water area covered with white tiles, the deep water area covered with blue tiles feels more like a lake, a river, or even... a corner of the sea.
Moreover, the shallow water area of the swimming pool is the part close to the exit of the swimming pool, while the deep water area... is close to the end of the swimming pool.
Lin Yi couldn't help but look towards the end of the swimming pool.
There was a wall over there, with an old kerosene lamp hanging on it, giving off a dim light.
But in the previous several times when he had hallucinations, what he saw was not a wall, but a pitch-black cave entrance, or rather, it was not a cave entrance at all, but a dark environment. It seemed that behind the wall was the cliff in front of the watchtower, and on the cliff there was a night watchman holding an ancient green lamp.
The water in this swimming pool flows to the end like a waterfall.
He shook his head and calmed himself down, only to see that the wall was still the wall, the light was still dim, but the old kerosene lamp was flickering for no reason.
He looked again and saw that there seemed to be some people swimming in the deep water.
"Is there any difference between the deep water area and here?" he asked.
Li Huiyuan shook her head slightly: "I don't know... This is my first time in the swimming pool, but the rules say that only first-stage sports students can swim in the deep water area."
"That place has a stronger effect in expelling and transforming green mist. It is purer, but it will also cause greater negative effects."
"Okay, don't go over there, stay a little further away from the buoy." Li Huiyuan called Lin Yi and instructed Lin Yi to swim back.
"Okay, but I seemed to see someone swimming in the deep water just now..."
"Oh, is there?" Li Huiyuan was obviously stunned for a moment, and said subconsciously, "You must be dazzled, there is no such thing in the deep water..."
"Uh... okay, never mind that."
"Oh." Lin Yi responded and began to swim back.
But at this moment, the intermittent calling voice rang in his ears again.
【Lin Yi...】
He turned around and looked at Li Huiyuan.
Li Huiyuan was speechless. She stretched her hands out of the water and spread them out towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's gaze drifted behind her...
The few people who were swimming that he saw at first glance disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by some unknown creatures floating on the water...
They seemed to be splashing the water over there, but the water in the deep area was like a turbulent torrent, making them move backward instead of forward, drifting to the end of the swimming pool.
The end of the swimming pool... now in his vision, it turned into a deep, dark cave entrance, with a fierce and rapid wind sound inside, like the sound of a hollowed-out mountain wall, after the wind got in, it kept on blowing out. "Wuwuwu" sounded like ghosts howling, making people's scalps numb and goose bumps all over their bodies.
"Snapped!"
A hand patted his shoulder.
"Stop looking and swim back quickly!" Li Huiyuan's voice rang out.
He shook his head violently and found that everything was back to normal, except that in the deep water area... there was no one swimming.
“Gurgle…”
He swallowed and suddenly realized that Li Huiyuan just... seemed to be following his words in order to avoid any conflict in his cognition?
Her original words seemed to be... "Are you dazzled? There is no one in the deep water."
He hissed secretly and began to swim back.
Li Huiyuan glanced at Lin Yi, then turned back to look at the deep water area and muttered, "No one is there." Then she looked at Lin Yi's back again, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"His hallucinations seem to be getting worse..."
Lin Yi swam forward at his own pace, but from time to time he heard some calling sounds in his ears. Those calls were extremely monotonous, just calling his name non-stop.
He felt a little tired of listening to it.
But as he continued to swim towards the shore, he found that the water in the swimming pool had become turbulent for some reason.
He found that the swimming pool was still a swimming pool and there were still people swimming in it, but he always felt that there was an indescribable strange taste, just like a cooked dish, you find that the taste has changed while you are eating it, but the dish was clearly served right out of the pot.
“Wow…wow…wow…”
Waves of pool water pushed up to the shore, seeping into the grille under the anti-slip floor mat, leaving behind a few sparse bubbles.
“Wow…wow…wow…”
There were waves without wind, and the waves were getting bigger and bigger. Lin Yi felt as if he was being pushed by the waves.
Gradually, he began to feel that the waves were getting bigger, and the entire swimming pool seemed to be suspended, swaying in the air like a basket, and the water in the basket was the water surface he felt now.
The sense of tilt and subversion became stronger and stronger, and the waves of speech became more and more turbulent.
[Lin Yi——Lin Yi——]
The voice became louder along with the waves rising without wind, like a sailor standing on the deck of a ship in a storm, calling out to him who was controlling the mast.
He was a little confused and felt a little dizzy.
At this moment, a wave came over and knocked him over, throwing him into the water.
"Gululu..."
He blew out a few bubbles, but unlike last time, this time, although he felt a little dizzy, he was in control of his body.
He then adjusted his rhythm and began to surface.
Li Huiyuan was right. How could he be sunk by the shallow water of a swimming pool?
However, when he adjusted his rhythm, the scene that came into his sight almost made him lose his soul.
He did see the bottom of the swimming pool, but it was not under his feet. It seemed to be a considerable distance away from his feet.
However, what frightened him was not the distance, but the fact that he saw... moss at the bottom of the pool!!
“Moss, moss…?!”
The icy breath seemed to penetrate into his body from all directions, and then rush out along his intuition. The biting cold seemed to penetrate his body and reach deep into his soul.
He also discovered that the bottom of the swimming pool...didn't seem to be covered with tiles.
The moss seemed to be growing on some kind of wooden board...
"board……?"
"How could it be... a wooden board?!"
Could it be that because he felt that the calling voice just now was like the sailor on the deck calling him, so the idea of... a sinking ship appeared in his mind?
A ship that had sunk for who knows how many years. The wooden boards at the bottom of the cabin had rotted away, and moss grew all around.
Time here seemed to be at a standstill. The dim light fell through the water surface little by little, and a damp, musty smell permeated the water.
The moss glowed with a faint green luster in the dim light, and there seemed to be a low creaking sound accompanying the flow of water. The whole world was filled with an atmosphere that was so depressing that it made people feel crazy.
In such a space, time seems to become blurred, and every second seems to be stretched, as if everything can be buried in the deep sea...
“No, this is a swimming pool.”
"This is a swimming pool!"
"Don't mess around!"
Lin Yi's will is extremely firm, his thinking is extremely clear, his...his...wait!!
Since there is nothing wrong with his will and thinking, how could he have such a problem...? !
"My cognition... is rewriting my instincts to save me?"
"That thing... that thing is beyond my reach with my current knowledge? It is something I cannot see at all now!"
“Gurgle…Gurgle…Gurgle…”
The sound of bubbles rang in his ears.
He looked around. The sparse and scattered points of light hanging on the water made the place look even darker and more turbid. He seemed to hear the sound of the iron chain rubbing again.
“Clang, clang, clang… clang, clang…”
That thing is here again!
It's coming again!
This time it seemed to be tied somewhere deep here, dragging the heavy chain, searching for his position in the water little by little, and closing the distance between him and it.
No, it wasn't that it was bringing him closer.
Instead, he shortened the distance between them!
In the last vision, the thing was still in the abyss, but this time, it seemed to be in this wooden cabin.
