Chapter 369 "You really came here"
Chapter 369 "You really came here"
Lin Yi's pupils trembled violently. In the broken mirror world, he could vaguely see Mu Daxian's torn body!
Due to the distance, Lin Yi could not see clearly Mu Daxian's current condition, but from the scene he caught a glimpse, Mu Daxian seemed to be torn apart by some force and thrown into that mirror world. Compared to Lao Mo whose body was already riddled with holes, Mu Daxian's body could only be described as dilapidated.
He was like a dark wizard nailed to the cross, his body broken and split, with only a heart left in his chest, still beating slowly.
No wonder when Lao Mo confirmed that Mu Daxian had arrived at the bell tower, he did not act very anxious. Perhaps he also knew that Mu Daxian would become what he is now - a person who looks dead but not completely dead, and is between "life and death".
Lao Mo seemed to be trying to pull Mu Daxian out while restarting the old kerosene lamp. This action should have just started not long ago, so it is impossible to see how effective it is.
However, whether it was Lao Mo's disappearing body or Mu Daxian's current appearance, Lin Yi felt very worried.
He didn't know how Mu Daxian had become like this under the nose of the Night's Watch, but he didn't have time to think about it - because he finally came in front of the Night's Watch.
Uncontrollably, his body leaped up from the fragment of the last stone slab, turned 180 degrees in mid-air, and slid in front of the night watchman like a slide. He landed in a "Deadpool-style superhero" position, shattering his kneecap steadily.
"hiss……"
He grimaced, gasped, and stood up staggeringly.
It was not until this moment that he felt the control over his own body.
"Well... you knew to give the remote control to the original owner after you crashed into a wall while playing racing, right..." A bunch of nonsense popped up in his mind for no reason, and a sky-blue aura surged at his knees, repairing his knees like woven cloth, and "coating" them with a layer of gold film.
"I……"
"you……"
"that……"
Looking at the silhouette of the night watchman in front of him, Lin Yi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say at first. So in the end, as if possessed by Maozi, he said in a dog-like tone: "Uh... hello... night watchman."
The night watchman didn't say anything. His body remained motionless, only his black windbreaker rustled in the air.
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen, and Lin Yi was a little at a loss. Just as his toes could not help but start to pick at the insoles of his sneakers, the night watchman finally spoke: "He is still keeping his promise... You really came here."
The night watchman's words were shocking, and as soon as he opened his mouth it seemed as if he had revealed some earth-shattering secret, which shocked Lin Yi deeply.
"W-what?"
"'Keep your promise'?! What does that mean?"
The Night Watchman's dignified and indifferent voice continued to sound: "It seems that the situation in other 'dark areas' is not optimistic either. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been two people like 'you' appearing in just a few gray fog invasions..."
"Ah?" Lin Yi opened his mouth wide. "Two? No...what does 'like me' mean?"
The night watchman still did not answer immediately, but he moved.
It seemed as if a certain predetermined moment had arrived, and he began to stir up an extremely terrifying supernatural force, which severely slammed into the body of the quantum bell, on which countless secret patterns were floating.
“Duang——!!!”
The majestic sound of the bell stirred up a surging air wave, which rushed out violently in all directions. The air wave affected the bodies of the night watchmen, and even the nearest night watchman was shaken to the point that he experienced some "stuck" and frame drops.
Afterwards, the air wave pushed through Lin Yi's body, and brought out many particles from his body again. However, at this time, his body no longer emitted blood mist, but only some strange powder particles.
But now Lin Yi has already adapted to such a wash. In this wash, his body only staggered for a moment before stabilizing, and his broken body was immediately repaired.
Then, the air wave washed past Lao Mo again, causing Lao Mo's body, which was already like a body eaten by insects, to expand the boundary of annihilation a little more...
In such strong winds, Lao Mo's body was like a castle built on the beach. Every time the waves hit him, some areas on the edge would be eroded. As the waves expanded, he would eventually be completely wiped out from the beach.
"Old Mo!" Lin Yi felt anxious upon seeing this.
"You should worry about yourself..." The voice of the night watchman sounded slowly.
Lin Yi was shocked and quickly looked at the night watchman, puzzled: "What does 'like me' mean?"
The night watchman had his back to him, and his voice was deep and ethereal: "Someone with the trait of 'Dream Builder'."
"'Building dreams'?" Lin Yi was puzzled.
"You can only repeat a grade?" The night watchman questioned, but immediately expressed his understanding. "Judging from the stupidity you are showing now, someone must have tampered with you... That's right, not being able to distinguish between dreams and reality is the biggest danger for people like you."
"But no matter how stupid you are, this time... the excellent qualities you showed in other aspects exceeded my expectations."
"Excellent qualities?" Lin Yi subconsciously wanted to repeat himself, but after being scolded by the Night Watchman, he decided not to go and try his luck...
"I really don't understand... How could they be willing to let a special person like you come in and take risks..."
"interesting……"
“It’s really interesting…”
Lin Yi pursed his lips. He could understand some of the night watchman's words, but there was much more that he couldn't understand.
He really wanted to ask questions, but he was not familiar with the night watchman at all, and he did not dare to interrupt in front of the night watchman.
If it were Lao Mo, he would have asked for a solution long ago.
Lao Mo, who was not far away, listened to what the night watchman said to Lin Yi with his eyes wide open, but when he thought of the abnormality that Lin Yi had shown along the way, a look of confusion and relief would appear in his wide-open eyes from time to time.
After all, he clearly remembered that... a shadow of that form had appeared behind Lin Yi...
The night watchman had his back to Lin Yi, but he seemed to have seen the confused expression on Lin Yi's face, but his eyes were wide open and eager for answers.
So he didn't give Lin Yi any chance to speak, and said directly: "He once said, 'When a friend comes from afar, you should make him feel at ease'... So since you are here, just do your job for me peacefully in this limited time..."
"Oh my god! What the hell is going on? Haven't any of you from S University studied the Analects?" Lin Yi wanted to speak, but found that his mouth couldn't move at all.
The night watchman didn't even give him a chance to speak? !
"Since you have no objection, I will take it as your consent." The night watchman said calmly, "After all, this is what he agreed with me."
Lin Yi: “???”
No, bro?!
He signed frantically, and only then did he understand why the night watchman always had his back to him.
"Premeditated"
The six Night Watchmen, no, the only three remaining pillars of the Black Moon Outpost, are setting a trap for a naive, fat young man like me?!
Also, who is that "he"? !
The only one who designed "I" is "us", could it be Mr. Tian? !
But this is also Mr. Tian's first time here! Otherwise, he would have tricked me into exploring the campus a few times! Could it be related to his memories that have not yet been "decompressed"?
Could it be Kuai Kuai? But Kuai Kuai, that scoundrel, never does anything to help others. If he stood in front of the Night Watch, he would probably be killed by the Night Watch...
Then... Wei Sang? Well, Wei Sang, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes have also betrayed 4016?
"After you do me a favor and take your 'balance', we'll be even." The night watchman said calmly. From the tone of his voice, he seemed to be quite familiar with him and the "him" who sold him out, but he didn't want to have a too complicated relationship with them.
This made Lin Yiyi, whose mind was already a mess and he had no idea what was going on, even more confused.
But no matter how confused he was, when he heard the word "balance payment", Lin Yi's eyes began to flicker with a strange light.
"There's still a 'balance'?!"
The night watchman's payment doesn't sound simple!
At this moment, regardless of whether being sold was a misunderstanding or not, Lin Yi's interest in withdrawing the balance suddenly soared - after all, it was a foregone conclusion that he was caught by the Night Watchman, an old and disrespectful guy who directly cheated his juniors, to work for him. In this case, any benefit he could get would be considered a little recovery.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized something was wrong. How could he open his mouth at this time? !
He immediately wanted to say that they should discuss it further, but the night watchman had already spoken: "I need you to help me find something..."
"Ah? Me?" Lin Yi pointed at his nose. "No, you can't find it, how can I find it? Is it something on campus? You can't go to campus so you want me to go?"
"Listen to me." The night watchman's voice was so cold that Lin Yi quickly shut his mouth.
"If it's just a regular search, do I still need you?"
"I won't be able to give you much help when you get down to work, so listen to me now, young man..."
"The characteristic of 'Dream Building' is that it can interact with the 'world' from the perspective of 'dreams' or some instantaneous 'hallucinations', that is, 'pseudo-dreams', and thus obtain a lot of secret information..."
"I need you to enter the 'Dream Building' state and help me find an item in the Art Building."
"'Dream building'?" Lin Yi suddenly felt as if he had seen the blue sky through the clouds. It turned out that the various hallucinations he had been experiencing along the way were the manifestation of the characteristic of "dream building"?
But...from Lao Mo's tone, the extraordinary characteristics should have gradually manifested as the pollution became more serious. Why did he start to show such symptoms as soon as he entered the school?
Was that a “shallow” change?
It's not impossible...
"So...what item are you looking for?"
“I can’t tell you.” The night watchman refused. “I will sense your condition. When the fluctuations of the item appear on your body, I will tell you. Then you just need to give me the location.”
"It's that simple?"
"'Simple'?" The night watchman was amused by Lin Yi's naivety. "If I wasn't afraid that you would die in your 'dream', I really wanted to say nothing and wait for the dream to give you a 'surprise'."
"Young man, you don't seem to realize that what you are about to 'explore' is the Black Moon Outpost designed by the 'Designer' Amon, which is known as one of the eight extraordinary mountains that can never be climbed in history."
"In order to prevent the 'Dream Builder' trait from spying on the Black Moon Outpost, Lord Amon has set up multiple traps... Even if the Dream Builder has mastered the design, it may not be able to smoothly travel back and forth between the layers of the abyss..."
"There have been many outstanding dream builders in history, but without exception, they all became 'souls pursuing phantoms'..."
""I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome"......"
"Wait wait wait!!!" Lin Yi suddenly interrupted forcefully, "Everything else is easy to explain, but what does this sentence mean?"
"Which one?"
"That's the warning!"
"You also know the commandments? Did Mo tell you?"
Mo boy...
"Uh, no..." Lin Yi seemed to have heard the night watchman's displeasure. He couldn't betray Lao Mo at the critical moment, but to be honest, Lao Mo never said this. "I heard a similar voice in several visions before. I feel that it was what you said just now..."
"you sure?"
"Is this sentence...special?"
"The Night Watch's Commandments have different effects, and this one is for suppression... it's the one that calms the Dream Builder's resentful spirit."
“‘I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome’ means… In the abyss of fog and darkness, lost souls chase phantoms.”
"There is no time in dreams... When dreamers get lost in an endless time loop, their instincts will guide them to find a way back. However, after some dreamers get lost, they think that only a very short time has passed, but in fact many years have passed in the outside world. Their bodies have long since turned to dust. Even if they are well preserved, they are no longer themselves..."
"They were lost in the abyss of time and layers, and eventually became souls that only existed in the cracks of the layers and the remnants of time... Their penetration into the layers caused some special extraordinary powers to condense, and then they descended back mixed with their will..."
"The dreamer who returns to the human world in this form is called the Laughing Angel."
