Chapter 366 The Night Watchman's Test
Chapter 366 The Test of the Night Watchman
Lin Yi looked at the wall in horror, as if he saw a large pool of black gelatinous liquid behind the wall. It seemed to be licking its own mouth and emitting some joyful emotions - if it had a mouth.
It must have a mouth! This is Lin Yi's feeling.
He could clearly feel that the thing became excited after tasting his perception, but he felt a little regretful because he only ate one bite because it was delicious. Then there was a feeling of anger and anxiety, greed and desire for something that he couldn't get...
It seemed to be squatting there, and more and more sticky gelatinous liquid gathered there like a rabbit waiting to be caught by a tree, but soon, the invisible ripples surged down from the upper level of the bell tower, destroying part of them.
"Kid! What happened?!" The noise here also attracted the attention of the upper floors of the bell tower. Lao Mo's somewhat anxious shouting could not help but come down, "Are you okay?"
"I...I'm fine!" Lin Yi responded.
"I'm glad you're okay. Be careful and don't get hurt!" Lao Mo said, "I don't have time to take care of you now!"
Lin Yi felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that Lao Mo still cared about him so much.
At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he had been led by Lao Mo into a "layer transition"...
Lin Yi's body shook, and he was fixed in place as if he was under a spell, without even the possibility of moving.
"this……?!"
Before he could react, he felt the layers around him twisted strangely, and a feeling of suffocation that went deep into his soul quietly spread in his heart.
He felt like he was going crazy from the pressure, but because he was powerless to resist, he could only grit his teeth.
He gradually began to breathe heavily, and the breath from his mouth and nose almost turned into a stream of burning air. A low roar of "咈咈咈" began to come out of his throat, and his whole body began to release some light red heat waves like a steam locomotive...
At this moment, the horrible feeling of suffocation suddenly receded like a tide. With the disappearance of the feeling of suffocation, the distortion of the layer returned to calm. Then, a low and oppressive voice floated down from the top of the bell tower.
"Young man, if you are interested, you can come up and take a look..."
Lin Yi's heart trembled. Just hearing this voice, his soul couldn't help but tremble.
"Can I... really go upstairs?" His voice was a little distorted with excitement, as if he had received some kind of "permission".
"You can..." the oppressive voice said slowly, "Only if you can get up here."
The sound disappeared in an instant, taking the feeling of oppression with it.
Lin Yi's "visual insight" collapsed directly. He slumped to the ground, breathing heavily. His school uniform had long been soaked in the mist, but he still felt clearly that he was sweating profusely just from talking to "the owner of that voice" just now.
"Wait!" Lin Yi woke up belatedly, "This sound comes from the upper floors of the bell tower!"
"Could it be... 'Night Watch'?!"
The Night Watchman spoke to me?!
I don’t know why, even though I just talked to the “Night Watchman” from a distance, Lin Yi actually felt excited…
Is this the worship of the strong? The psychology of admiring the strong?
Lin Yi didn’t know, but the trembling of his body couldn’t deceive anyone.
This trembling was not fear, but excitement and fanaticism.
His intuition told him that there was a "different view" on the upper floor of the bell tower.
If following Lao Mo all the way gave him the feeling of being led by Zhao Yun to fight his way in and out of Changban Slope, then when he reached the upper level of the bell tower, he would definitely have the feeling of Cao Cao standing on a high place and looking far into the distance, taking the entire battle situation in his sight!
This gray fog is invading, I must see what’s going on!
"I have to go check it out!"
"I have to go see it!"
Invisibly, although he could only sit on the ground, breathing heavily and constantly absorbing the extraordinary power around him to restore his strength, Lin Yi was already looking forward to it.
If Mao Feiyang were here, he would definitely find that Lin Yi's behavior at this moment was almost identical to Mu Daxian's behavior that night when he was pursuing "the existence of what he considered to be an 'angel'"!
The instinctive excitement in the body cannot be concealed!
The enthusiasm in his eyes could not be concealed!
He quickly suppressed these emotions, then adjusted his state to the best, and slowly came to the spiral staircase leading to the upper level.
The premise is that you can come up
"So this staircase is a test given to me by the Night Watch."
Lin Yi thought about it and it made sense. If anyone could climb up the bell tower, then there would be nothing special about it.
After preparing himself mentally, Lin Yi tried to step onto the staircase. He stretched out his foot tentatively and slowly placed it on the first step.
I took a step forward and it was steady and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
Lin Yi was slightly stunned, but his expression was very solemn.
Because when Lao Mo was going up the stairs, a gust of wind blowing from the stairs directly cut his skin.
But now nothing happens?
"Is it because there is no wind?"
"If that wind is the manifestation of some kind of supernatural power fluctuation in this spatial layer, then it should have a certain periodicity..."
Lin Yi had some guesses, so he didn't rush to the second step.
There are not many spiral steps, only about 20 to 30 at most. It won't take much longer if you walk slowly. If you try to rush and get knocked down by unexpected danger, it will be a waste of time.
Besides, the night watchman might still be watching!
If this was some kind of test, then too many mistakes would surely lower his reputation among the Night Watchmen, right?
As he was thinking about it, his hair suddenly stood up, and an invisible crisis suddenly appeared in the air before him.
“Hum…”
When the crisis occurred, Lin Yi's eyes suddenly turned golden. The already dim light around him seemed to be covered by a special light film filter, and the flow of water mist also became slow.
"Higher-level perception" was triggered, and his perception of "time" and surrounding things suddenly became sharper.
He then concentrated all his concentrated mental energy into the void where the crisis appeared.
Sure enough, he soon saw the shape of the "wind"!
It was a line as thin as a hair, spreading out from the air in an arc-shaped slingshot. Behind it was calm and there was no sign of any problem.
Lin Yi's eyes lit up: "That gust of wind seems to be avoidable?"
So when the wind blew in front of him, he quickly lowered his head and dodged.
"call--"
The wind blew past his head.
"I can dodge it..." Lin Yi was overjoyed, but before he could finish being happy, a heavy inertia hit him head-on like a dump truck.
"What……?!"
Lin Yi's heart sank, and he couldn't stand on the stairs at all. He was smashed down hard, and his back hit the wall outside the spiral stairs. His whole body "snapped" as if it was stuck in the wall. In fact, he was only slightly flattened, and just this one blow, part of his spine was already broken.
Lin Yi collapsed to the ground again, hissing with cold air from the corners of his mouth, his face twisted in pain.
But despite the pain, the sky blue aura began to rampage in his body, repairing his body with great domineering power.
While his body was being repaired, he recalled the collision just now, and then he realized that the wind was not just a line, but what he could see was just that line!
Just as a huge wave hit him, he saw the edge of the wave and thought that there was only that edge, but he didn't know that behind the wave, there was a whole wave!
He did avoid the edge of the wave, but was hit head-on by the following wave.
Bruised nose and swollen face!
If his little body hadn't been strong enough, he might have been smashed to pieces by this collision!
Huh? Smashed to pieces?
He immediately thought of the black sticky glue-like substance that was constantly spreading on the outer wall of the bell tower. Those things seemed to be shattered and annihilated by similar waves?
As he thought about it, he no longer felt the pain.
After a while, his body recovered. He got up and thought to himself, "You are worthy of being the boss. You gave me recovery training in advance. Otherwise, I would not be able to adapt so quickly."
Thinking of the boss, he couldn't help but think of the boss's smooth and white flying kick.
It hurt a lot, but compared to the boss's kick, it was only mild.
He looked back at the stairs.
"Since you can't dodge, then you can only take it head-on!"
Thinking of the devilish training the boss had given him, he could only say that one trains an army for a thousand days but only needs to be deployed for a moment. He didn't expect that the unique skill of self-healing that he had just cultivated would be used in the blink of an eye. What a coincidence.
He stood on the steps again and waited for the coming of the wind and waves.
He took a deep breath, tensed his muscles, and prepared himself for the hard work.
Soon, the invisible wind formed a line and appeared in his field of vision.
"coming!"
He concentrated and held his breath, waiting for the moment when the wind would hit his body.
The next moment, the edge of the wind plundered his body, and immediately afterwards, an extremely powerful airflow rushed towards him like a surging wave.
The dump truck rushed towards him again and hit him hard. He was almost knocked away, but this time his feet seemed to have taken root and were nailed to the step.
Under the continuous impact of the airflow, his body began to spasm violently. At that moment, he felt as if all his bones were shattered. Every joint was wailing in pain, and every bone felt like it was about to break. His muscles were more like being pierced by countless needles at the same time. The severe pain spread, and his eyes went dark. His consciousness almost began to become blurred under the impact!
At the critical moment, he gritted his teeth and kept his will clear.
Gradually, countless cracks began to appear on his body, as if it had been chopped up by countless nanowires, but his body did not break. His bones and flesh were tightly connected by extraordinary strength, like a pile of building blocks that kept shaking in the wind but would not fall apart.
He kept shaking on the first step but refused to fall. Then, the air wave penetrated his body like a torrent.
"boom--"
The strong energy penetrated into Lin Yi's body from the front and poured out from behind him. A large amount of blood mist gushed out from his body and immediately disappeared.
He gritted his teeth tightly, the blood vessels on his forehead were exposed, and the sweat that flowed out immediately mixed with the blood mist and burst into pieces in the air wave.
The extraordinary power in his body continued to surge, patching up his broken body, barely offsetting the speed of annihilation, forming a kind of counterbalance...
“咈咈咈……咈咈咈……”
A low hiss came out from between Lin Yi's teeth. His golden eyes were filled with bloodshot, like ferocious tentacles.
"It seems...it held up!"
His body was in pain, probably because his senses had exploded. He became more sensitive to many things, including pain.
He could clearly feel the air wave raging through his body, cutting through every muscle line and causing pain, which made him perceive every component of this air wave extremely deeply.
The gust of air subsided, but its aftereffects were still raging on Lin Yi's body, making his body a mess.
Before he could recover, the second wave of air came.
"call--"
The gust of wind blew on Lin Yi, who was like a blade of grass in the wind and almost fell down.
His body leaned back a lot, but he remained tense and didn't fall down.
As the gust of air rushed past, a lot of flesh and blood in his body was destroyed.
The extraordinary power in the sky blue aura was still constantly patching up, but that level of patching could not withstand the consumption.
Lin Yi felt that he had lost a lot of things in his body, and his internal organs seemed incomplete, but the extraordinary power was still causing these organs to regenerate.
His recovery speed became faster and faster, because if it was not fast enough, his body would be completely annihilated.
It's like one person is drawing on a piece of white paper and another person is using an eraser. If the drawing is not erased quickly, the drawing will be gone in no time.
But now Lin Yi feels that he is not drawing fast enough.
"too slow!"
“It’s too slow!!”
Lin Yi roared in anger with unwillingness in his heart.
“You’re going to die at this rate! How can you even think about passing the Night Watchman’s test!”
and many more!
test? !
Suddenly an idea flashed upon him!
"Since it's a test, there should be an 'answer'!"
"yes!"
“There should be an answer!”
He has failed his first "exam", so he must do well the second time!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sense his own body.
With this perception, the battered body was depicted in his mind...
He now looked like a leaf full of holes eaten by insects.
