Chapter 378 The Quartermaster of the Items the Night Watch is Looking for!

Chapter 378 The item the Night Watch is looking for - "Quartermaster"!
"Could it be... that the 'Master of Magic' has escaped from prison?" Lin Yi asked with a trembling voice.

The night watchman was silent for a while, then said: "No... The world today can no longer meet the conditions for lifting the "time exile". She will definitely not be able to come back, but one possibility cannot be ruled out... Her will that permeated time and layers eventually had an impact on the layer of the outpost."

"Your visual and auditory hallucinations... are most likely related to her influence on the Art Building..."

Lin Yi stroked his arm, which was covered with hair standing on end. "You mean to say... the 'calling of the Art Building' that I have been feeling is actually the 'calling of the Mage'?!"

"The call of the magician penetrated the layers and found me when I just arrived at the campus?!"

Calculating the time, he heard the "call of the Art Building" on the afternoon of the second day after entering the school. A cloud blocked the sunlight, and then he had a visual interaction with Maozi who arrived at the Art Building... At that time, it was also the moment after Maozi absorbed the first wave of green powder particles in "Art Classroom-IV"!

According to the characteristic of common source of pollution, he indeed began to hear the "call of the Art Building" from that time, and tonight was his first time to arrive at the Art Building!

So when he arrived at the gallery, the Mage appeared in his vision holding a music box? !
It wasn't that he had a vision and saw the Mage, but that the Mage penetrated his will and made him see her? !

"this……"

"But why is this...?"

"You found me out of such a huge crowd? Can you go find Liangzi? Liangzi is the lolita complex, dammit..."

The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more terrified he felt. Being targeted by an ancient murderer who existed before the civilization system was established, this kind of horror cannot be described in words!

"02... Am I being targeted by her?!" Lin Yi asked in horror.

"This is good news." said the night watchman.

"what?"

"Of course this is for me," said the night watchman, "so that she won't stare at me... Of course this is the worst news for you."

"That 'Apostle' you mentioned who has a slip of the tongue and loves to tell jokes, can't it be you?"

"Why do you think so?" The night watchman didn't hear Lin Yi's complaint and said seriously, "We will be created, how can we be "Apostles"? "

"I think that the will that the magician has leaked out must have been in a certain 'band'. She has been releasing it for countless years, and only a few gifted people with the 'dream-building' trait can capture this encrypted information..."

"There's a saying, you two are... running in both directions."

Lin Yi covered his face: "Running to your sister in both directions..."

My girl is three years older than me and holds a golden brick, and a girl is three thousand years older than me and ranks among the immortals...

Of course, Lin Yi knew very well that this "two-way rush" was not the same as that "two-way rush"...

The night watchman continued, "I think that the magician must have been trying to break free from the "time exile" for countless years, and the time in the high dimension is not linear, so we cannot determine when this call that permeates time comes from, whether it is in the past, or at a certain time point in the future..."

Lin Yi said very seriously: "She must be calling for the person who can help her break out of prison! To open a door from the outside, you need a key that matches the keyhole, but from inside the door, you only need to press the handle gently... "Time Exile" has closed her outside the layer, and we are inside the door!"

"An apt metaphor." The night watchman nodded.

"After all this talk... do you want to take a look?" Lin Yi asked and then added, "In this bedroom, besides the prison behind the curtains, there is only this photo frame left to look at..."

The night watchman was silent for a while, as if he was stuck in some choice.

After waiting for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind: "Look!"

Rather than anything else, the Night Watchman would rather believe that this was the item he had been looking for.

Lin Yi was silent in thought. He also understood the night watchman's thoughts to some extent. He had some expectations of "searching for him among the crowd for a thousand times" and then "looking back suddenly, the thing finally appeared in the dim light."

He then came to the desk, his consciousness slowly drifting, bringing the night watchman's perspective to the front of the photo frame.

The photo in the frame was a cartoon-like dark forest, using an extremely cute style to render a certain kind of infinite horror...

"It is it! That's it! Sure enough, it's here! Sure enough!"

The night watchman's dignified voice was filled with distinct emotional fluctuations, as if at this moment, he possessed a certain humanity.

Lin Yi felt the horror because he saw the cartoon in the photo frame. But before his fear could spread, the Night Watchman used the power of the "Temple" to drag his consciousness away.

And at this moment, he also observed the content of the cartoon with his own eyes because he provided the perspective to the night watchman.

At the first glance, he felt an itchy sensation in his heart, as if something had broken out of the ground in his heart. Soon, boundless fear spread in his heart...

He just realized that the thing that broke out of the ground was called "fear."

As fear spread, the world around him began to shake violently. No, it was not this world that was shaking, but the world in the photo frame he saw was shaking!
The shaking feeling invaded the bedroom from the photo frame, like a cup of trembling water triggering a terrible storm, making the originally quiet bedroom restless.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang… bang, bang, bang…”

The books on the bookshelf scattered all over the floor as they shook. The covers snapped open, and the pages of old paper rustled like dried human skin hanging on a tree branch. The smell of rotting meat immediately invaded Lin Yi's nostrils.

Every mysterious symbol on the page seemed to come alive, flying from the book into the air. They suddenly surrounded Lin Yi and made their own sounds, like an ancient witch singing and dancing around a green flame. The long ancient words accompanied by syllables that did not conform to the laws of human pronunciation floated far and near...

“Ku-ku-ku-ku…!!”

"Empty, empty, empty...!!" Shocking cracks spread out from the photo frame, and everything around Lin Yi began to collapse and split open. A horrible crack appeared under his feet, the ground shattered, and he fell into an abyss.

In the endless darkness with a little light, he felt the spin of losing his center of gravity and direction. He tried hard to call the name of the night watchman "02", but the only response he got was an endless howl. He didn't know whether it came from the wind, space, time, or some layer...

He saw a huge mountain range, like a steamed bun made of countless flesh and blood. The strange lines were complex yet simple, jumping back and forth between human cognition and incognition. He suddenly realized that the thing seemed familiar, as if it was part of the cartoon pattern in the photo frame.

He understood what he seemed to be traveling through, he seemed to be swallowed up by the world in the frame, the cartoon tearing through the layers and taking him deeper into the abyss!

He saw a dark forest, with branches entangled with each other like twisted arms. Deep in the forest, there were pairs of eyes flashing red, like wild beasts hiding in the dark, spying on their prey. The deeper he went, the thicker the fog became, and it was almost impossible to see the shadows of the trees...

While crossing the dark forest, Lin Yi felt a chill rising up his spine, as if he was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and the darkness around him seemed to be swallowing him up.

Endless cold wind blew on his consciousness, as if to freeze him there. A rustling sound appeared in the whole world, like groups of nocturnal species were wriggling, but how could nocturnal species exist in such a place?
There seemed to be a low whimpering sound in the wind. The sound was vague, but it was enough to make his heart beat faster. In this strange world, he was filled with unknown fears all the time. He couldn't wait to escape, but he seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, falling deeper into the abyss...

Suddenly, he crossed a mountain range beyond the dark forest.

When he crossed the mountain range, he saw the barren land in the mountains. There were countless tombstones on the land. The sky was painted bright red like a cartoon. Now it looked like thick clouds soaked with blood...

"here it is……?!"

He remembered!
This scene was the last scene before his vision switched to the bedroom as it kept jumping back and forth!
“Could it be that… when my consciousness first came here, it arrived there first, then entered the world in the cartoon in reverse, and finally passed through the photo frame and arrived in the bedroom?!”

"No wonder you didn't get in the first time! Did you accidentally take the secret passage?"

He remembered!

He remembers everything!
He remembered that deep in this desolate mountain range, there seemed to be a winding and twisting passage!

And at the end of the passage, there is a huge humanoid sculpture!
He passed through the Dark Portal and finally arrived at the deepest passage among the countless layers in the cartoon.

"clatter……"

He stood still in the passage, with rotten wooden boards under his feet. As his center of gravity shifted, even if he didn't take a step, the boards would make a "creaking" sound...

Both sides of this passage are filled with sculptures, some are twisted and painful, some are crazy and wanton, all of them are half-body sculptures, but none of them look normal. It looks like an exhibition hall of the dead killed by evil spirits.

The huge humanoid statue at the end of the passage looked extremely strange between the light and shadow. As the thin mist floated, the ferocious expression on its face seemed to change slightly, as if it had come alive.

That humanoid sculpture was the only complete sculpture in the entire passage. It stood there gracefully, like a humble and polite gentleman, but the strange patterns all over its body made it look more like some kind of container that sealed an evil spirit.

It seemed as if something inside its body was about to break out, but was tightly sealed inside by this sculpture.

In front of this humanoid sculpture, there is now a figure in the darkness.

He recognized it instantly.

"「02」……? How come you…"

The will of the Night Watchman "02" actually arrived here before him, and changed from an imperceptible state of nothingness to a conscious entity that he could perceive.

The Night Watchman's figure is already very tall, but he still looks a little small in front of this huge humanoid sculpture.

"This is it..." The night watchman's voice was filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal. "Found it! Finally found it!"

It was the first time that Lin Yi saw the night watchman behave in such a way that he lost his composure. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this the 'item' you've been looking for? Can you tell me what it is?"

"This is... the Quartermaster."

""Quartermaster"?!" Lin Yi's heart trembled, "Hearing this title, could he be one of the "first apostles"? "

Lin Yi suddenly had a horrifying fantasy that when the "Master" killed the "First Apostles", he also killed one of the apostles who was honored as the "Quartermaster" and buried him deep in the layer.

The Night Watchman shook his head and said, "That's not the case... The Quartermaster is not an Apostle, but a kind of "supernatural creature."

"This is the 'equipment' created by the 'original apostles' to match the 'Supreme Judgment' system."

"The sculpture you see is a collection of many extraordinary creations. I only need to obtain a key part of it to improve my status to a level that is sufficient to deal with more invasions of gray fog, or even to a level that is sufficient to expel the "angels."

"But... since it was made for you to use, why is it hidden in a place like this?" Lin Yi asked puzzled. Since it is tailor-made equipment, it must be with you at all times, or at least it should be in a place where you can reach it in case of emergencies, right?
Just like a gym student's baseball bat or a chef in a black bib's butcher knife, they can be used when needed, right?

Why are you putting it here as if you are guarding against thieves?

"You're mistaken." The Night's Watch shook his head and said, "You didn't hear clearly. I was talking about the Supreme Judgment system... not our Night's Watch. There is a huge gap between the two."

"The "Supreme Judgment" system?" Lin Yi was stunned, and the words mentioned by the Night Watchman suddenly appeared in his mind -

[The golden aura of the Supreme Judgment lineage...]

Lin Yi's heart trembled slightly, and he seemed to have thought of something: "The symbol of the Supreme Judgment is a golden aura? So could it be that...? !"

"That's right, the boy with the repeater..." The night watchman turned slowly in the darkness, his golden eyes seemed to penetrate the scorching sun in the world.

"When the time comes...you can use them too."
