Chapter 320 Song Rentou? Or...?
Chapter 320 Song Rentou? Or...?
"After all, over there, even if it's just a trivial matter of running up and down the stairs to get a signature, you might have to take the documents and go abroad for a trip, and they call it a fucking 'field investigation'..."
"Oh, be careful with what you say! We don't even know if the news is true or not, so you'd better stop imagining things."
"Oh, that's right. Let's eat... Eat more. We'll have a big battle in the evening after we're full!"
Architect...The boss was confused.
"what is your major?"
"Uh... architectural design..."
Architectural design... Is this what this “architectural profession” is like?
She smiled self-deprecatingly and shook her head helplessly.
The current campus is already full of holes. What kind of architect is needed to patch it up?
Besides, with such a big problem, even if Lin Yi is really an architect, how can he solve it by himself?
Ugh……
She sighed, and then subconsciously looked for Lin Yi's figure in the stands. This time, she didn't need to look for him at all, she found Lin Yi directly, because she didn't find the person, but followed the flow of breath and locked onto Lin Yi directly.
"Oh, this is really this guy's style..." A rare look of relief emerged in the boss's eyes. Lin Yi, who was on the first floor of the stands, was just like he did when he dealt with the "original pollution". He allowed all the mixed smells in the giant dome to flow through his body without being contaminated.
He was still the same person, maintaining his own rhythm...devouring those breaths hungrily.
From the boss's perspective, the blue and green auras are Lin Yi's main meals, and the auras of other colors are like dipping sauces, which he would dip a little bit from time to time, and then absorb into the body harmlessly.
Lin Yi handled the whole process extremely smoothly, just like a foodie with a delicious mouth.
The boss glanced at the other athletes again to make sure that everything was going in an orderly manner, and finally turned his attention to Song Rentou.
Song Rentou is still alive, but it has become a different appearance.
After being thrown onto the playground and touched by the water flow, it became slippery like plasticine touched by water, and could no longer "mold" itself back into the outline of a human figure.
It was a bit like a liquid metal robot that was close to magma, struggling and twisting hard, but everything it did was like a drop in the bucket in the face of its own speed of collapse.
The Song Dynasty figurines soaked by the water seemed to be in another state. They could not become dry and hard like nocturnal plants or sculptures exposed to sunlight. Instead, they began to become more and more rotten, like a fluid substance that is insoluble in water, constantly squirming over there...
"Live..."
"I want to live..."
"I can leave the campus today..."
"Just a little bit more..."
"It's just... just this one class..."
"No...I want to live...I must live..."
"Light... Such a warm light..."
It kept squirming, and actually began to slowly move towards the shriveled skeleton of the angry angel sculpture...
"Light……"
"Save, save me..."
It grasped at the air like a dying man struggling to grasp at the only straw before him.
However, the Angry Angel statue remained completely unmoved - it couldn't move at all.
Under the light of an old kerosene lamp, it seemed to be "dead".
However, the mixed aura in the air still flowed towards Song Rentou...
These smells are not picky, they are just food, and food is a thing that can be taken a bite.
Song Rentou began to devour the surrounding air frantically, absorbing it like a whirlpool.
"Live...live..."
It muttered these words over and over again, devouring all kinds of mixed smells desperately.
Suddenly its body trembled, as if it heard some strange call, and raised its head dazedly, like a dog that was chewing a bone with its head down and heard some strange noises and then looked up.
Its eyes were filled with madness and struggle, but there was still a trace of "humanity" in this look. However, this kind of "human" expression disappeared immediately after it smelled the mixed smells.
All that remained in its eyes was madness, greed, desire and bloodthirstiness that erupted from its strong desire to survive.
However, just as it lowered its head to lick the breath again, that strange feeling appeared again.
It raised its head blankly again, but still found nothing.
So it lowered its head and started to eat, but it immediately raised its head again...
Such behavior may seem very strange to outsiders, but only it knows that it is now shrouded in something called "fear"...
Its ears were filled with strange low humming sounds, as noisy as a combination of the cyber scripture of the big electronic music temple and some soul-calling Sanskrit sounds, hmmmm, chirping, with some flute-like sounds, constantly attacking its cognition.
It struggled in the flowing water, and kept rolling in front of the sculpture of the angry angel. Its body began to melt, and the flesh on its surface peeled off like mud, revealing a pale skeleton...
It began to feel fear, and fear was the last primal emotion it had left.
Suddenly, as if it discovered something, it began to crawl towards a certain place in the stands...
During this process, its body began to disappear, and the remaining flesh and blood kept changing into various appearances while wriggling.
These features all have charm, but none of them is stable, as if it has many faces, or... has had many different identities.
It kept crawling, moving forward through the water plants like a gecko with a broken leg.
And the person sitting on the stands facing the direction was... Lin Yi.
"Save me, Lin Yi...save me..."
"help me……"
It was barely breathing and kept crawling.
Lin Yi, who was sitting in the stands, heard Song Rentou's call. He looked down and his scalp suddenly went numb.
Song Rentou, whose half body skeleton was submerged in the water, was seen crawling towards it like a Terminator. The part of its body submerged in the water had completely disappeared, leaving only bare bones, as if it had been eaten by thousands of ants.
As for the part that is above the water, the situation is not optimistic at all. It is peeling off bit by bit like a landslide.
However, the strange thing was that this time, Lin Yi did not sense any evil aura from Song Rentou...
Looking at Song Rentou's appearance, an emotion called "sadness" slowly spread in his heart, but what was more than sadness was indifference.
Absolute disregard.
Just like when you see a tiger eating a cheetah, you feel a little bit sorry, but you don't have any more emotions. However, Song Rentou's facial features are changing little by little at this time...
"Save me...Lin Yi, save me..."
"I...I remember...I..."
"I'm……"
At a certain moment, some familiar outlines appeared in its constantly changing appearance, but it did not utter the last words until Song Rentou weakly lowered his face into the water.
Lin Yi couldn't tell whether Song Rentou didn't know and deliberately didn't say anything in order to deceive him into helping him, or whether it was really true.
But at this moment, the scene of Song Ren's death suddenly flashed before his eyes...
The outline was reconstructed in his mind, and then he began to fill in its features according to this familiar feeling, correcting its distorted face bit by bit, and then... a face appeared in front of him...
He saw the corners of Song Rentou's mouth moving, and the shape of his mouth seemed to be saying -
"Lao Lin, Save Me, I'm Wei Liang"
Sudden--
"Bang!"
A splash of water exploded from the fence in front of him, and a figure emerged from under the water. The pale skeletal hand with the splash slammed heavily on the fence.
In the mist, Song Rentou, who was originally drowned by the water, emerged in a nearly skeleton-like state. Only a tiny bit of muddy flesh remained on his face, but his whole body was entangled in a gray mist...
"Save me... I, I am... I am... Wei..."
“Plop…”
It slid completely into the water and then sank slowly.
The water was very shallow, in fact it only submerged the playground of the dome to a height of an ankle, but after Song Rentou's skeleton fell, it seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea, and slowly even his shadow disappeared...
It was not until this moment that Lin Yi realized why he had felt a sense of familiarity yet strangeness towards Song Rentou when he first saw it, because Song Rentou had a kind of Wei Liang charm...
It seemed as if there was the shadow of Wei Liang on it.
I don’t know why, but looking back now, he realized this problem belatedly.
But...what on earth is going on? !
Wei Liang, isn't he always by his side?
Where did the aura of Wei Liang come from on Song Rentou?
"What's the dispute between Liangzi and Song Rentou?"
“Wait… that’s not right!”
"Just now……!!"
Just now he couldn't sense Wei Liang, and then when he discovered Song Rentou's presence, it turned out that Song Rentou was not looking at him, but at... Wei Liang!
In other words, Song Rentou was looking at both Wei Liang and him!
The two eyeballs cast by the Song people were not focused, but looked at each other as if there was something wrong with the eyes.
But...but he couldn't figure it out at all, and was becoming more and more confused.
Even the piece of paper left by Song Rentou at the beginning seemed to have a hidden story.
But now Song Rentou is dead and there is no evidence...
That's the end of the matter.
But——is this really the end?!
Is death another beginning?
Lin Yi had a vague feeling of passive entanglement...
The Song people who sank into the water...
That Wei Liang silhouette...
The iron chain that penetrates the wrathful angel...
And the figure trapped in chains in the dilapidated, rotting, sunken wooden boat he saw in his vision, the figure looking for him in the flooded castle passage...
That figure... was calling his name!
Could it be that all of this... is somehow connected? !
Is that a glimpse into the future?
Appeared from some kind of gap in time? - Well, there must be a limit to my wild guessing...
So could it be that it was a scene that had already happened but he had forgotten, and now it was recalled by him because of some familiar elements...? !
It's so confusing...it's getting more and more confusing.
It’s clearly just one campus, but why... is it connected to his memories that he has no idea whether they exist or not?
"I must ask Ryoko later!"
"But... it's no use asking Liangzi, right?"
"Normally when I ask him simple questions he's always evasive, but when I ask him something like this he's going to keep blabbering, right?"
Lin Yi felt a little distressed and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.
"Forget it, let's get down to business first!"
Lin Yi calmed himself down and continued to absorb the extraordinary power with peace of mind.
Fortunately, during the time he was thinking, he was still absorbing everything freely and steadily, just like breathing, letting all kinds of breath flow through his body, and he only tasted them briefly.
But as time went on, his vision became darker and darker. In contrast, the trajectories of the various auras containing extraordinary powers became clearer and clearer.
And in that gray fog, there seemed to be some ripples that he couldn't sense before...
Those ripples were pushing forward slowly like waves. Each ripple seemed to have no rules, yet seemed to contain some unique rules. It was as if in the void behind the gray fog, there was some mysterious, unknown, invisible, yet terrifying existence, and its breathing was expressed in the form of ripples by the gray fog...
Lin Yi raised his head slightly, and gradually, his vision was no longer limited to what was in front of him, but began to be continuously magnified by his perception, and he soon discovered some special places.
The gray fog only filled the sky above the playground inside the dome and did not surge onto the stands. However, the ripples in it seemed not to be restricted by this space...
Let me put it this way. Under Lin Yi's perception and observation, the gray fog did not seem like something invading the dome. Instead, it was more like the dome invading the gray fog...
Imagine a scene like this: a person is sitting on a high-speed train, looking at the scenery whizzing by outside the window, with rows of trees "swishing" past him. If the camera is zoomed out a little, with the train window as a static reference, then the fast-passing scenery will change from being static to being dynamic...
Now, the dome is a huge "car window", and the gray fog is the rapidly passing scenery...
The dome "intercepts" a part of the scenery, so the ripples are not restricted by this space!
