Chapter 396 "I'll help you!"
Chapter 396 "I'll help you!"
He crossed the distance of more than ten meters in just a few breaths!
However, just as he was about to rush out of the stone bridge, his chanting voice suddenly stopped, and his throat hissed and could not make any sound. It felt dry and sore, as if he had lost his voice.
He wanted to continue shouting out the proverb, but he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of oily, smelly, black, sticky liquid.
“Oh no…!!”
He sensed that the golden energy in his body had been completely consumed!
After the fireworks bloomed brightly, they then withered coldly in the darkness!
He fell weakly to the edge of the watchtower and landed heavily on the bumpy, cold stone slabs, his body covered with muddy water.
“What a pity… What a pity…”
He bit the old kerosene lamp and struggled to get up, but this time, his mental strength was also exhausted.
Exhausted, he seemed almost dead.
With this little episode, the alien angels seemed even more excited, and the purebred nocturnal creatures also rushed over again. They were just afraid of the energy contained in the commandment, not Lin Yi!
Wood that no longer burns is just waste wood.
However, just as they were about to drown Lin Yi, some gray mist suddenly seeped out from the gap in the backpack that Lin Yi was holding tightly...
The light mist was very thin and weak, like a stream in the field, but as soon as it appeared, it was like a sharp blade that tore a hole in the alien angel's already closed huge body!
"This is……?"
Before Lin Yi could react, a loud bell sound suddenly rang out in the dark sky!
“Duang~~~~!!!”
Under the dark sky, the clock tower of the Art Building shines like a star, and in front of the giant quantum clock "Church", a lazy figure can be vaguely seen, seemingly decadently stepping on the clock body of the "Church" with a pair of flip-flops.
That terrifying bell sound came from here.
"Boy, let me help you! Why don't you get up and run?" The lazy voice of the convenience store owner, along with the air waves of the "Holy Temple", rushed into Lin Yi's ears.
It feels like when you want to sleep in on the weekend, and suddenly someone opens the curtains and kicks your butt exposed to the sun, urging you to get up.
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, Lin Yi frantically devoured the extremely complex extraordinary power around him, then squeezed his body to force himself to stand up, stumbling and "rolling" towards the elevator shaft deep in the observation tower.
The alien angel was somewhat unwilling and tried to intercept, but was directly forced back by the air wave of the "Sanctuary".
In the hands of the convenience store owner, the air waves of the "Holy Temple" seemed to be more flexible. Instead of simply spreading, they seemed to gather together and rush towards a certain point.
Controlled by the "Holy Temple", the alien angel stopped chasing Lin Yi and slowly disappeared into the fog, retreating little by little under the dark sea tide.
And the tentacle of the "angel" that had appeared in the sky and seemed to be about to look Lin Yi in the eye, seemed to have never appeared at all...
Behind Lin Yi, there were only groups of pure nocturnal species left, but they wanted to chase Lin Yi. A huge searchlight passed across the area between them and Lin Yi, and many nocturnal species were swept away. The swept area was directly turned into broken stone sculptures.
The rest of the pure nocturnal species did not dare to overstep their boundaries and had to retreat back into the dark area little by little.
……
May 023, X5, 10:3, Art Building Observation Deck, in the elevator shaft.
Lin Yi leaned against the cold wall, breathing heavily, his body heaving violently, as if he wanted to inhale all the air around him into his lungs.
After a brief pause, Lin Yi did not linger any longer. He propped himself up, held onto the wall, and walked towards the depths of the elevator shaft.
Amid the violent storm, the candlesticks on both sides of the elevator shaft were still burning, seemingly unaffected. Lin Yi didn't know whether this was related to the secret patterns carved on the wall.
But no matter what, he was no longer in the mood to think about it. He decided to go back to campus and heal his wounds first.
Lin Yi never thought that he would be so eager to bask in the sun in his lifetime.
Walking along the elevator shaft, Lin Yi soon arrived at the elevator numbered "Moon-IV". Because Lao Mo had said that every elevator in the elevator shaft could be taken, he simply reached out and pressed the elevator button.
But after pressing the button, he was still not reassured, so he walked to the "Moon-III" elevator next to him and pressed the button as well.
While waiting for the elevator to come up, he went over in his mind what Lao Mo had told him.
"Ding!"
With a crisp sound, the elevator door of "Moon-III" opened first.
Lin Yi no longer waited for the "Moon-IV" elevator and went directly into the "Moon-III" elevator.
A few seconds later, there were some mechanical noises coming from inside the elevator, and the door slowly closed.
When the door closed, the feeling of being cut off from the world returned to him.
But this time, he did not feel panic or discomfort, but instead had an unprecedented sense of relief.
Finally the nightmare of the art building is over!!
No, no no no… Not yet.
"You're not free until you leave!"
He quickly looked for the hidden button covered by the cover that Lao Mo mentioned, because he remembered that when he was in the dream, he did not see the button from Maozi's perspective.
There is only one "↓" button on the elevator control panel.
"By the way, Lao Mo also said that special identity credentials are required to activate it!"
Thinking of this, he quickly took out the dormitory manager's badge from his trouser pocket - in fact, this "badge" was almost integrated with the dormitory manager's flesh and blood.
Perhaps, when the number on the badge is completely integrated into the skin and flesh, it means that the dormitory manager has been completely transformed into a smiling angel.
The magical thing is that when he held the dormitory manager's badge in his hand, he strangely noticed something that he had not noticed before.
For example, there actually was a cover above the elevator control panel. The cover was even exactly the same as the cover in the dormitory elevator, but he just didn't notice it just now, as if he was blind.
He lifted the cover and saw the red button inside.
He pressed the button and the elevator started up with a slight shudder.
After a few seconds, the entire elevator began to sink slightly, and then with a "clang" sound, it seemed to switch to an unknown track, and then slowly moved.
It was not until this moment that he felt completely at ease.
He opened his backpack a little, reached in, took out a tomato, and began to eat it slowly.
Eating tomatoes when you are running out of energy really gives you a refreshing feeling, like a long-awaited rain after a long drought.
After eating a tomato, Lin Yi's physical and mental exhaustion were replenished and he was barely able to survive.
He started eating the second tomato, thinking about what Lao Mo had said while eating.
"Lao Mo said that when I get to the library, I should immediately discard the old kerosene lamp and my identity as a dormitory manager... In other words, by that time, I will have to enter the library with my original identity..."
"During this process, there seem to be some other 'things' going up and down the elevator...are they nocturnal species?" Probably not. A mere nocturnal species can't give him much pressure right now.
Could it be the Laughing Angel?
When Mu Daxian took Maozi to the elevator, as soon as the door opened, there was a set of Sly Laughing Angels' Big Four Happiness. It was hard to guarantee that they didn't get on the car halfway...
"But if it's just the Angel of Smile, Old Mo could just explain it directly, there's no need to say that..." Lin Yi shook his head slightly. Maybe there were indeed some unusual things, but since he didn't know it now, he might as well just wait and see.
She is no longer a shy queen; she has plenty of strength and means.
He touched the secret pattern on his arm, with a hacksaw in his left hand and a baseball bat in his right hand. As long as the opponent was not the reinforcements called by the monkey, he would be safe.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt something and looked down at his watch.
4: 00.
"It's exactly 4 o'clock..."
Lin Yi knew that this point must have some special meaning, but he didn't want to experience it himself.
The elevator continued to run, and after half a minute, the speed slowed down until it came to a complete stop.
Lin Yi's heart trembled, and he quickly looked at the floor panel, then he was stunned.
「Dormitory-F18」
The elevator door slowly opened, and a dormitory manager appeared in front of Lin Yi.
The dormitory manager is a girl, with a pair of exquisite glasses on her small nose. Her slender figure seems like it could be blown down by a gust of wind. There is a timid look in the eyes behind the lenses, like a little deer that has strayed into the world, ignorant and weak.
There was a trace of fatigue between her brows, as if she hadn't slept for several days. Her skirt was messy and dirty, as if it had not been washed since it got dirty.
The veins were faintly visible on the back of her pale hand. Her slender hand was holding an old kerosene lamp, and the other hand was holding a chain as thick as a thumb.
Lin Yi followed the chain and saw that the end of the chain was tightly held in the hand of a boy.
The boy closed his eyes tightly and his face was pale, like a piece of paper with all the blood drained out.
Beads of sweat the size of beans continued to seep out of his forehead, his body was trembling slightly, and an intense fear emanated from his whole body.
For some reason, feeling the fear emanating from the boy, Lin Yi actually felt a vague sense of excitement.
But he just glanced at the boy and immediately looked at the female dormitory manager.
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, as if he felt that the face of this dormitory manager looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere...
He thought about it, and an image of a man with his hands covering a book immediately appeared in his mind.
"Is it her?"
Lin Yi remembered.
On the evening of May, when he returned to the dormitory for the first time, the girl took the same elevator with him.
She was reading a book very seriously at the time, and only realized that she had reached her floor when she was reminded by someone.
And the floor she was originally on was the 18th floor.
She was a little confused at the time, just like him, whose thoughts were uncontrollably guided by the surrounding environment.
At that time, Lin Yi wanted to remind her quietly, but he was worried that his words would backfire, and the elevator closed very quickly, so he didn't say anything.
He had felt that this girl would be in danger from the beginning, but he didn't expect that when he saw her again today, she had become the dormitory manager.
The elevator door opened, and the female dormitory manager saw Lin Yi. She was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed Lin Yi's behavior at the moment - this dormitory manager in front of her, not only was she half-dressed, but she was actually eating a tomato? !
At that moment, her already somewhat tired state immediately became energetic, but her already pale face became even paler in an instant.
“Beep—”
The elevator door was left open for a long time and the elevator alarm sounded.
Hearing the alarm, the boy with his eyes closed became even more frightened. His lips trembled constantly, and even his chains shook "clang clang clang".
"What happened... What happened... What happened... Hey, dorm manager... Are you still there?"
His teeth were chattering and his words became unclear syllables.
"Don't be afraid, just follow me..." The female dormitory manager gritted her teeth and led the boy into the elevator.
After entering, the elevator door closed automatically and the alarm sounded.
Seeing this, Lin Yi had to quietly retract the hand that was pressing the "↓" button.
"You! Are you closing the elevator door?" The girl noticed Lin Yi's actions and couldn't help but frowned.
"I, I don't know, I don't know..." the boy replied in horror.
"Don't talk. I'm not talking to you." The female dormitory manager said these domineering words in a weak voice. The boy leaned against the inner wall of the elevator, slowly curled up, and hugged himself tightly. He looked embarrassed, lonely and helpless, like a stray dog.
"I didn't." Lin Yi opened his mouth with a sophistry full of dog-like air, "I was just helping you to make a decision faster."
The female dormitory manager was speechless. For a moment, she didn't expect that as a dormitory manager, the other party's behavior was so cruel.
The elevator continued to run. The female dormitory manager huddled in a corner of the elevator farthest from Lin Yi, looking at him with fear and curiosity.
The atmosphere in the elevator was a bit solemn, so Lin Yi ate his tomato bite by bite, then looked the female dormitory manager up and down.
Although the dormitory manager looked frail, he seemed to be very strong-willed. Seeing that Lin Yi did not show any hostility, he began to look at Lin Yi more and more wantonly.
From the perspective of Wei-style game theory, when a man and a woman look at each other, their auras serve as indexes of each other, but this index will be weakened as the amount of fabric on their bodies decreases.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Yi is invincible when it comes to eye contact.
But something was wrong now, the fabric on his body was almost too little.
The female dormitory manager seemed to have taken a fancy to him as well, and her gaze became more and more unscrupulous and aggressive.
The lenses of that pair of glasses could hardly block the brilliance in her eyes...
Gradually, Lin Yi sensed that the female dormitory manager's breathing seemed to become a little rapid, just like a otaku seeing a girl wearing ripped black stockings.
But now the situation has changed, and he is the little girl with black stockings and holes...
