Chapter 375 The Little Girl's Identity
Chapter 375 The Little Girl's Identity
"On the wall..." Lin Yi tried hard to recall, "There seems to be a painting on the wall, but it is mostly covered by the curtains..."
"That's the bedroom!" The night watchman was visibly excited. "Do you remember where it is?"
Lin Yi shook his head bitterly: "I can't even remember where..."
"You can't blame me for this..."
"Those things appeared with the flickering of my vision. I felt like I was on a roller coaster being pushed forward. Whenever a picture appeared, I would stop and watch for a while. After watching, I would immediately switch to the next place..."
The night watchman nodded in agreement after hearing this: "You are right... so you continue to build your dream. The wind waves of the "Holy Temple" are only the most violent in the first wave, and the subsequent waves are milder than the previous ones. You find a way to help me find the location of the bedroom, and leave the rest to me."
"Ah? Continue?" Lin Yi opened his mouth in confusion.
After a brief contact, the night watchman seemed to have figured out how to control Lin Yi, so he didn't say anything about justice or interests, but simply asked a question: "What about the 'balance'...?"
"Hahaha, let's talk it over nicely!" Lin Yi slapped his head and decisively sat down again, beginning to accept the infusion of the air waves. At the same time, he asked curiously, "What exactly is that bedroom?"
The night watchman's voice suddenly became extremely solemn: "The bedroom is just a picture you see. Its essence is actually the most strict prison in the Black Moon Outpost... Deep inside it are the most vicious criminals in the history of the Black Moon Outpost."
"Trust me, you don't want to know its story."
Lin Yi pursed his lips, and suddenly the power of dog hair possessed him: "But "02", when you say that line, it only makes me more curious about the secret of that bedroom, isn't it?"
"And... the owner of that bedroom looks like a little girl. Could it be that the so-called criminal you mentioned is a little girl..."
When Lin Yi said this, he suddenly thought of the little girl holding "Amon's Music Box"...
That weird little girl… was wearing a very cute but dirty Lolita dress. Her body was clean in some places and dirty in others. Her snow-white lace stockings and small square-toed leather shoes were still dripping with some sticky, oily liquid…
“Could it be…?!”
"Wait... I seem to... "02"! Me! Me!" Lin Yi suddenly became anxious, and stuttered because his tone was too hasty. "I seem to have seen a little girl in my vision! She was wearing cute dirty clothes, holding a music box in her hand. I suspect what she was holding was..."
"Shut up! Shut up now!" The night watchman's words came true. Before Lin Yi could react, he lost his voice and it took him a few seconds to calm down.
The night watchman looked at him reproachfully: "Why didn't you tell me about this important matter earlier?"
"Ah? I told you... I told you it might be "Amon's Music Box"..."
"This has nothing to do with "Amon's Music Box". I mean, that..." The night watchman's voice was rarely lowered, "That little girl... why didn't you tell me about it?"
"I...I told Lao Mo..." Lin Yi suddenly felt aggrieved, "I was wondering if she was the spirit of the double-eyed music box left by Amon...but Lao Mo said it was not important."
"She's not, of course she's not... How could she be a weapon spirit or something like that?" The night watchman denied it again and again. "Besides, Mo knows nothing! How can he tell the difference between the important and the unimportant?"
Not far away, Lao Mo's expression changed slightly, and his eyes were suddenly filled with resentment.
"Mo boy, can you tell the tape recorder boy something useful next time?" The night watchman said and glared at Old Mo with dissatisfaction.
Lao Mo suddenly broke out in a sweat... He really wanted to rush to Lin Yi, press him down hard and say, "You kid, be smart and don't act so familiar with everyone. The person in front of you is the Night Watchman - if you let go of a little bit of his domain, it will directly crush our existence!"
But he didn't dare to say it, because when Lin Yi mentioned the bedroom and the little girl, it was obvious that the guy who became familiar with everyone slowly turned from Lin Yi to a night watchman...
"Your guess is correct..." said the night watchman, "In fact, that is the little girl's bedroom..."
"The little girl's bedroom was used to imprison your so-called criminal, and then the little girl lost her bedroom and started wandering around the art building?" Lin Yi guessed.
The night watchman was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Is there a possibility... I mean, a possibility that the prisoner in that bedroom is the little girl?"
Lin Yi's body shuddered violently, and a chill ran down his spine, as if someone had coated him with liquid nitrogen and repeatedly rubbed him...
"Then she... escaped from inside?!" Lin Yi was immediately terrified, and suddenly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, "No... she, I, that, that... I heard her calling me several times, and she even sang some black nursery rhyme to me..."
Lin Yi's voice suddenly stopped. It was not that he didn't want to continue talking, but he felt that the atmosphere had subtly changed, just like the instructor in the passenger seat stepped on the brakes.
He then glanced at the night watchman, but there was nothing unusual on the night watchman's resolute face, except that his eyes also glanced at him tacitly...
"She... even sang... a song... for you?"
The reaction of the night watchman made Lin Yi, who was already in a state of panic, sweat profusely. He scratched his head and ears, and the feeling of sitting on pins and needles turned into a butt covered with thorns: "No... "02", don't react like this, you... you're making me so panicked..."
"I'm a little panicked too..." The night watchman wiped his sweat, "What did she... sing? Did you hear any iconic lyrics?"
"It seems like... some kind of hide-and-seek..." Lin Yi's tone was a little hesitant, not because he couldn't hear clearly, on the contrary, he heard it very clearly. The problem was that the night watchman's reaction was too big.
Please don't do this!
Could you please return to your majestic and cold self? You look like this... I feel like I'm going to die!
"It's over, you're finished..." The night watchman sighed.
"It's not you...I...I fucking..." Lin Yi was about to cry because of the mysterious look of the night watchman. He simply stuck out his tongue and looked like "Ah Shit".
"If you feel this way, why don't you tell me? As the saying goes, a dying man speaks the best words..."
"It's you who died, not me, so what I said is of no use..." The night watchman was confused by Lin Yi's optimism. Of course, he also knew that Lin Yi was actually "ignorant and fearless."
He then sighed and said, "I will talk to you as you pursue, just as I will say farewell to you..."
"..." Lin Yi pursed his lips, "Forget about not being able to say anything auspicious, but can you please stop saying bad things?"
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” The night watchman’s tone became much more polite, probably with a hint of “the dead are the greatest”, “I’ve been here for so many years, but I’m not worthy of hearing “Requiem”… You’re really amazing.”
Lin Yi: “…”
"I..." He was about to speak when the follow-up energy waves from the "Holy Temple" surged and infused into his body.
With a "boom", he felt his consciousness "soar"...
This time was better than the last time. It didn't tear his consciousness apart so violently, but was much gentler. His consciousness soon appeared in that twisted world filled with golden aura and interwoven white lines...
He began to travel through this world again, and the scenes he had seen before of the art students fighting against the strange things in the gray fog began to reappear in front of his eyes... and this time, the voice of the night watchman obviously changed from the soothing background music to a much more normal one.
"These nearly still images you see are not truly still. It's because the air waves only last for a moment, so it looks like there is no change..."
“In fact, they were fighting all the time.”
"Just now you asked me what that bedroom was and what was in that deep well... I can tell you now."
"In that deep well, buried is the remains of a certain 'Apostle'..."
"【Children, play hide-and-seek, hide one by one or two...】
[The small yard is a good place~ Brothers and sisters hide...]"
"What... is this nursery rhyme?!" Lin Yi was shocked. These were two sentences whispered by the night watchman. Although the tone was different from that of the little girl, the lyrics were the same.
It seemed that the night watchman had never heard of this nursery rhyme, but he knew some of the lyrics through some unknown channel.
The night watchman specifically mentioned the deep well here. Could it be because the remains of the apostle buried in the deep well are related to the little girl? !
He suddenly recalled more details, the strange black nursery rhyme, the shovel and the huge saw beside the little girl...
"But she actually has the ability to kill the "Apostle"... then she is not? !"
The night watchman said: "That's right... But what I didn't say is that the apostle buried in the deep well was not an ordinary one, but one of the "original apostles"..."
"Those are the remains of one of the adults..."
Lin Yi's pupils shrank: "Doesn't that mean...she is also, no, she is at least an "original apostle". Could she be the soul of the "angel" imprisoned here? !"
The night watchman gave a helpless bitter laugh: "You have actually guessed it, but you just don't dare to guess in that direction, right?"
"That little girl...she is actually one of the 'first apostles'..."
"In the art building, I'm afraid I'll bring you trouble, so I won't tell you her real name... But I can tell you her honorific name - her former honorific name..."
"The Mage..."
The moment he heard these three words, Lin Yi felt his scalp numbing, because this was not the voice of the night watchman.
His consciousness sensed a chilly wind, and the slightly bloody smell in the wind seemed to have penetrated the air waves of the "Holy Temple" and wanted to be engraved into his consciousness.
The "ding ding dong dong" sound of the notes in the music box rang in his ears again, and he seemed to hear some children's voices singing some black nursery rhymes.
He knew that the little girl appeared...
This strange infiltration was like the dreamer's soul infiltrating time, descending from an unknown layer of dimension in the form of a smiling angel and appearing beside him.
However, the existence and status of the little girl seemed to far surpass those dream builders...
Lin Yi seemed to be controlled here, even the air waves were frozen.
He looked at the watch on his wrist. The time was now 2:26:33, also frozen at 33 seconds.
The pointer seemed to have exhausted all its strength and wanted to move to 34 seconds, but it seemed to be held back by an invisible force field and could not move at all.
At this moment, the layer wrapped around Lin Yi like a thin film, and then a rolling pin repeatedly rolled over the layer, and Lin Yi was kneaded into various shapes. His head was buzzing, and there was only a disordered noise in his ears...
[Lin Yi, Lin Yi, Lin Yi (the voice is like a reverberating echo and becomes clearer and clearer)…you are here, you are here, you are here…]
【Divide the Dharma, establish the Dharma, establish the Dharma… Master…】
[Lin Yi, Lin Yi, Lin Yi…you are here, you are here…]
【Establish the law, establish the law...】
[Lin Yi, Lin Yi, Lin Yi…]
[I know, I know, I know...I know...]
The black nursery rhyme kept ringing, long and obscure. It was just a simple tune, but it seemed like a strange note seeping in from the cracks of time...
In this strange, collapsed world, it seems that a road is slowly opening, and at the end of the road... is a rusty door.
There was a sign on the door, engraved with some incomprehensible and incomplete strange symbols, like numbers, or some other number...
He knew that the little girl was indicating the location of her bedroom...
The vision became distorted again, becoming so bizarre that it was impossible to even look straight ahead.
But the air waves seemed to flow, and the disordered, harsh, and dizzy noises finally faded away.
"The Mage..."
This time, the voice that appeared in his ears was the voice of the night watchman.
Time returned to normal, and it was at this moment that the voice of the night watchman finally reached Lin Yi's ears.
他低头扫了一眼手表，手表上的指针，异常艰难地从2:26:33移动到了2:26：34上，像个在战场上厮杀了无数时光的战士……
"Everything that just happened... just happened in... just one second?!"
"No, time is just the scale I see. Just now... I have no idea what happened..."
Lin Yi felt that he was in a slight trance. His mind was still a little groggy and his consciousness was a little confused, as if he was "adjusting to jet lag". However, he himself was not sure whether there was a problem with his jet lag, or what it would take to adjust to it...
