Chapter 389 Tangled
X023, May 5, 10:3, Art Building Gallery.
The dim light of the old kerosene lamp flickered in the cramped gallery, as if it would go out at any time.
It was eerily quiet all around, with only the occasional sound of fog moving in the unreasonable wind like the whispers of ghosts in the darkness.
A creepy feeling gripped Lin Yi's heart tightly, and the cold chill ran up and down his spine like a bungee jumping machine.
His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and his breathing became rapid. He caught a glimpse of the little girl out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't dare to make any expression, and his body seemed to be frozen, unable to move.
Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the cold ground.
“Gulp…”
He swallowed, lowered his head, and stared at the watch on his wrist, but had no intention of observing it.
But even if he did not mean to, he now discovered a problem - the hands of the watch were moving "click...click...click..." very normally, and the faint sound was infinitely amplified in this dead silent environment, seeming particularly weird.
"Wait... time is normal?"
The flow rate is not as fast as it should be when building a dream, but it is actually the normal flow rate...? !
How can it be normal?
The little girl didn't move, and Lin Yi didn't dare to move either. The air around them seemed to freeze, and the chill became stronger and stronger, wrapping around his whole body like icy tentacles.
The little girl just stood there quietly, her mouth opening and closing woodenly, and then the dark nursery rhyme sounded from all directions, like leaves falling in the wind.
The little girl's attention was always on his watch, without any change.
"She's looking at my watch?"
A strange idea popped up in his mind - take off the watch, throw it away, and lure her away like throwing a bone to lure away a dog!
But this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment and then disappeared. As soon as it came out, it was denied by Lin Yi.
The watch...can't be lost.
Not to mention that this is the only thing besides the Ouroboros Ring that can appear in his dream state so far, even if he didn't know the magic of the watch, he never considered taking it off, because...
Huh?
because……
"Hiss... why?"
Lin Yi suddenly felt his head swelling. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but why couldn't he remember what it was?
But he knew subconsciously that this watch was very important and he must not lose it.
At this moment, he heard some other sounds faintly in the voice of the little girl humming the black nursery rhyme, like the little girl whispering, but the "babbling" sound sounded like a dream talk, and it was really hard to hear clearly.
Suddenly, the little girl moved. She slowly picked up "Amon's Music Box" and raised it little by little in front of Lin Yi...
As the music box approached, a chill came over me, and the surrounding darkness was like thick mud, eating away at the area of the old kerosene lamp bit by bit...
"what?!"
Lin Yi was shocked. "Amon's Music Box" actually suppressed the extraordinary properties of the old kerosene lamp!
The darkness tightly enveloped every inch of space. The weak light of the old kerosene lamp struggled in the darkness, like a dying person hanging on to his last breath.
The little girl moved her gaze little by little, tilted her neck, and looked at Lin Yi's face, as if she wanted to see Lin Yi's current expression.
[Brother, you are so mean~ You made fun of my sister for having a dull saw~]
[That tree is really nice~ I will hang my brother separately~]
【Children, play hide and seek...】
The black nursery rhyme came and went in Lin Yi's ears, echoing with the ding-dong sound of the music box, making it impossible for Lin Yi to put up any resistance.
suddenly……
Lin Yi felt something cold and soft touching his palm.
But in his eyes, he clearly saw nothing.
The touch was extremely clear, and it was still moving up along his palm little by little, and finally touched his watch...
“Could it be her…?!”
The little girl was clearly right beside him, but he didn't dare to look at her, nor did he dare to call her "Master" in his heart, for fear of causing some strange reaction.
But the little girl clearly didn't touch him!
"Could it be... infiltration?"
"The little girl is just the cognition she gave me, or is it just the 'cognition' that my brain has built for me?"
"The real her does not exist in the form of a little girl, but exists as a supernatural being that penetrates the layers?"
He thought of what Tian Bufan had mentioned about that conceptual sculpture - quantum state!
The little girl's infiltration is in a "quantum state"? !
In fact, she is absent countless times!
Just like when he was dreaming, he arrived at the door of the bedroom, and then he felt a similar touch, pushing his hand to the door, and then he entered the bedroom!
Is everything under her control?
The little girl's dreamy voice, the black nursery rhymes, and the notes of the music box kept spinning in Lin Yi's mind.
Finally, her attention slowly shifted from Lin Yi's watch to him...
Lin Yi clearly felt the touch of a soft and cold invisible force, which began to move along his arm to his shoulder, but at the same time he also found a scar appeared on his hand...
It was as if someone had cut his skin with a sharp knife, exposing his muscles and blood vessels. Blood slowly flowed out, and when it came into contact with the light of the old kerosene lamp, it became viscous and turned into a substance like ketchup.
The little girl slowly came up, opened her mouth, stuck out her pink tongue and gently licked Lin Yi's wound.
The wound was painful, but it felt extremely itchy when licked by the little girl.
Lin Yi felt uneasy, as if there was an indescribable emotion brewing in his chest, which was both terrifying... and exciting.
After the wound was licked, the ketchup stopped flowing, but the invisible touch was still moving, new wounds began to appear, blood continued to flow, and the little girl licked it again. He felt that his arm was now like an egg yolk lava bun, with a cut open and lava flowing, and the little girl ate it, and when it stopped flowing, she would make a bigger cut and continue eating.
However, at this time, he did not notice that the time on the watch had gradually stagnated...
The pointer on the dial began to move very slowly from the 3th second at 19:30...
And under the guidance of that invisible force, the scars on his arms formed some mysterious symbols like oracle bones.
When Lin Yi saw this symbol, he was shocked: "Secret pattern...?!"
Before he could react, an intense burning sensation as if being eroded by lava deeply stung his flesh and made his soul tremble.
This strong feeling penetrated through his skin and his flesh, and it actually wanted to cut off his arm directly!
The little girl... wants his watch!
Lin Yi reacted suddenly!
"No! We can't just sit there and wait for death! Run!"
"Run! Run, you have to run!!!"
Having made up his mind, Lin Yi started running.
As he moved, the sticky darkness around him was unable to react for a moment, and only began to chase his figure after he started running.
The little girl holding the music box was thrown behind him.
He ran in the gallery holding an old kerosene lamp high. He had only one thought in his mind - escape from the gallery!
"As long as I'm in the gallery, she'll always be here! The only way to get rid of her is to leave! Hiss—ha—"
The severe pain in his arm made his running extremely uncoordinated, and he almost fell several times.
However, when he accidentally saw his arms, his hair almost exploded.
The little girl was not knocked down by him. Instead, she opened her little mouth and held his arm, sticking to his arm like a rag doll!
The little girl's smooth hair swayed in the wind like small waves, and her delicate face looked harmless, but from her little mouth, which was holding Lin Yi's arm, some black, oily and sticky liquid began to flow out, and like ink, it infected Lin Yi's arm bit by bit.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Yi's arm, then climbed up Lin Yi's arm as if she didn't need to follow any physical rules, and then sat on his hand so lightly, moving with the swing of his arm.
Her body seemed to be constantly oozing out a black, dirty liquid, which soaked through her black and red Lolita uniform, making her uniform look dirty, but it always seemed to disappear.
Her smooth legs were pale and cold, with a pair of stained lace socks exposed at her ankles, but inside the socks, there seemed to be something bulging, like... an iron chain.
Lin Yi didn't dare to observe carefully. He just took a quick glance and opened the door, trying to escape.
To be honest, after experiencing the baptism of the "Holy Temple", he no longer cared about the pain of having his flesh and internal organs destroyed. He would not even blink at such inhumane pain and could even watch his flesh and blood being annihilated with a smile.
But even he was unable to bear the pain that came when the scar was branded on his arm. That kind of pain seemed to be carved into his will, reaching deep into his soul.
He suddenly missed those smiling angels hiding in his shadow. Rather than having secret patterns carved on his arms and being sucked like jelly by a little girl, he would rather be sucked by a group of smiling angels.
At least, the smiling angel only made him feel kidney deficiency, while the little girl was biting his kidneys - the most important thing was not the one-piece cutting, but the fresh kidney sashimi!
The burning sensation became more and more intense, and Lin Yi felt that his hand was about to break off.
But at the critical moment, that feeling of pain could not advance any further, as if encountering a tough problem.
They did encounter a tough opponent.
The power of the secret pattern cut Lin Yi's arm like a continuously advancing water knife, but it got stuck when it touched Lin Yi's bones.
The power of the secret pattern was unable to penetrate Lin Yi's "Golden Bone Body"!
Lin Yi was surprised and delighted, and cried with joy in his heart. He thought that the night watchman "02" in charge of the "Sanctuary" was really a famous teacher like Kaido. The first wave of the "Sanctuary"'s air wave taught him to condense the golden aura, and the second wave helped him to forge a golden body and extremely strong flesh and blood. The first wave taught him the method of retracing his dreams...
Of course, if the famous teacher Night Watchman had a teaching philosophy, it should be four words - "eat the immortal".
However, before Lin Yi could sigh more, the little girl reached under the hem of the Lolita uniform and fumbled around for a while, then pulled out a hacksaw that was bigger than her from between her snow-white legs...
"No way!"
Lin Yi was sweating profusely, his scalp tingling. It was understandable that Li Huiyuan's JK uniform had a pocket in the pleated skirt, and it was also understandable that the Lolita uniform had a pocket in the skirt, but - what the hell was "saw in the crotch"? !
What's even more terrifying is that after the little girl took out the saw, she placed it directly on Lin Yi's arm and started sawing the golden bones that were impenetrable to the secret patterns.
The little girl's tiny body was pulling a huge steel saw. The discordant style of the painting looked like a Q-version cartoon, but Lin Yi suffered a lot.
“Gah—chi!”
“Gah—chi!”
“Gah—chi!”
With every sawing motion, Lin Yi could personally feel the sharp sound of his bones aching, and this time, not only did he feel it "personally", his bones also felt terribly aching.
The sharp teeth cut the bones vigorously, and the trembling feeling was transmitted to the whole body along the bones. Lin Yi felt that he was about to be shaken out of his soul.
He had finally "cultivated" a golden skeleton under the tempering of the "Holy Temple"'s air waves, and was even able to withstand the first wave of the "Holy Temple" head-on. He felt pretty good about himself. Even if he wasn't praised as "Lü Bu in the world", he was worthy of the reputation of "my second brother is invincible in the world". But how did he end up with this lingering little girl?
It would be fine if it really happened. After all, the current Lin Yi is known as the "renewable little Tang Monk" and the "delicious Tai Sui". A breath of vitality will make you feel refreshed, and two bites of flesh and blood will make you famous. Moreover, with the weird smiling angel in front of him, it would be nothing if there was another little girl. Lin Yi can totally accept it.
But the situation is different now. It’s okay to just eat two grapes, but why do they start cutting down trees just because of a disagreement?
With his golden skeleton, wouldn't it be a dimensionality reduction attack for him to face those nocturnal creatures when he returns to the campus?
But before he could return to the campus to show off in front of the green-skinned people and the fake human sculptures, he was about to be sawed in half!
Isn't this appropriate?
He no longer had the heart to think about it, because the piercing pain began to stimulate his nerves and instincts. He felt that his arm bones were really being sawed open by the little girl's hard sawing!
“Gah—chi!”
“Gah—chi!”
There was no expression on the little girl's dirty face. No matter how Lin Yi swung his arms to match the rhythm of his running, she seemed to be grown on his hands and remained unmoved. She sawed his arm bones bit by bit at her own pace.
Lin Yi suddenly understood that the little girl's ultimate goal was still his watch. If she couldn't take his watch off, she would saw it in half!
After all, he was the "Master of Sorcerer" who cut up and buried all the "original apostles". What a dismemberment maniac! He was really a ruthless man who didn't talk much!
