Chapter 405: The Lawmaker's Opinion
Chapter 405: The Lawmaker's Opinion
"boom--"
A terrible storm suddenly arose in Lin Yi's mind, causing his heart to tremble violently.
"Oops! Why can her voice still affect me?"
He thought he was safe after leaving the art building, but the little girl's voice was so lingering that it even made his hands "out of control" again!
He looked at his uncontrollable arm, and the fear in his heart spread like a tide, which could not be described in words.
"That secret mark! Is it a brand? I can't get rid of her anymore?!"
He looked at his arm, grabbing himself with his right hand, trying to regain control.
But that arm was frozen there. At the same time, the traces of secret patterns gradually emerged on his arm. The light golden secret patterns looked dignified and majestic, like the inscriptions engraved on ancient Chinese bells and ritual vessels, but they exuded a terrifying aura everywhere.
The secret pattern spread slowly like flowing river water, and the light golden marks extended to his five fingers like fine blood threads.
The five uncontrolled fingers all stopped and then reached out to the "Lawmaker's Theory".
At this moment, he felt that his arms no longer belonged to him.
The little girl took control of his arm, and his arm was leading him to pick up the book "The Lawmaker's Words"!
[Pull and pull, tug and pull ~ my sister's hands are numb~]
[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~]
【…】
[I hang my brother separately~]
[I hang my brother separately~]
【…】
“Crack, crack, crack…”
As the pulling continued, Lin Yi could faintly hear a slight deformation sound coming from the bones, like the teeth-gritting sound made by clenching one's teeth.
This horrible sound originated from his arm bones, and then spread along his bones to his entire body, causing his bones to feel sore and numb, and he wanted to move forward...
"No, absolutely not..."
He gritted his teeth and started a tug-of-war with his arm. The other end of his arm seemed to be grasped by an invisible force.
All his attention was focused on his arm and the "Lawmaker's Words" at the end of the passage, so much so that he did not notice the distortion and changes in the surrounding space and layers.
He knew every rule in the Library Rules and knew that he should turn back immediately.
But he couldn't do it.
The dual control of "Amon's Music Box" and the black nursery rhyme kept him stuck on the spot. Even if he didn't try hard to suppress his body, that invisible force would drag him towards "The Lawmaker's Sayings"!
At this moment, some faint whispering sounds rang in his ears again.
【Lin Yi...】
[Hahahaha…it’s him…it’s really him…]
Lin Yi's steps suddenly stopped and his body stiffened slightly. This was not a little girl's singing, nor was it a little girl's voice. It was a kind of noisy and weird laughter, as if calling his name, or something else.
【Lin Yi...】
【here……】
[I see you...]
【Come on...】
【Come and take us away...】
【Hey hey hey...】
【Ha ha……】
This was not the voice of one person, but of a group of people, as if bats in a densely packed bat cave were flapping their wings and singing terrifying songs.
Lin Yi felt a creepy feeling in his heart. His eyes, which had been fixed on "The Lawmaker's Sayings", suddenly caught a glimpse of the scene in the passage!
The passage was formed by the overlapping of the voids in the libraries on each floor, and at this moment, the shadows on each floor of the passage were actually hung with broken sculptures!
The sculptures were hung by chains on the edge of the void, dangling like wisteria vines, and the chains clanged and swung back and forth as they cried and laughed, as if they were hung with corpses.
Those broken sculptures were exactly the same as what Lin Yi had seen in his vision, no, in his dream.
At the beginning, he was in the bookshelf area at the back of the classroom, flipping through the information left by art students, and accidentally came to a dilapidated abandoned classroom.
In that classroom, he saw many broken sculptures hanging from the ceiling. When they saw him, the broken sculptures cried out...
It wouldn't be that time. He had seen this kind of broken sculpture hanging many times.
But...how did they catch up here?
"Vision...Dream building...I'm in a dream again?!"
He quickly lowered his head to look at his watch. Yes, he had forgotten that he had a watch on his hand - at least, he should have a watch! !
When he looked at his wrist, he saw his watch reappear on the ferocious yet sacred light golden secret pattern.
He looked at his watch and found that the time on the dial was still flowing, but the speed had indeed become quite slow.
“Go back!! Go back now!!”
He gave orders to "himself" in his mind, as if some loser was looking at himself in the rearview mirror and saying, "Don't die."
【go back】.
These two things, with the blessing of his will, actually worked like an oracle. The invisible force that was restraining his left hand also loosened the restraint on his arm.
The next moment, his consciousness slowly withdrew from the entrance...
【elder brother……】
【elder brother……】
In the little girl's singing, it seemed as if only "brother" was left...
Countless broken sculptures cursed angrily.
And among these voices, there seemed to be another voice...
At the same time, an old, haggard voice called to him, uttering some obscure, admonishing prayers:
""Nr... den svarte... mnen vissner... kommer srgemo... erne tilbake fra det uendelige... dyphavet..."
"...den svarte...mnen vissner...kommer... tilbake fra...det... dyphavet..."
""Nr... kommer... tilbake... det... dyphavet..."
After saying it several times, the voice disappeared again, replaced by a voice he could understand:
"Don't go, don't go..."
But it was useless, Lin Yi had already left.
As he retreated, the ivory-carved ball-like structure began to operate again, and the passage leading to "The Law Maker's Theory" was closed again. Every floor of the library returned to its original state, and the terrifying and strange aura continued to dissipate...
Everything seemed to be playing backwards and left his field of vision. When he came to his senses, he found that he was still in the dream learning sector, as if everything just now was just an illusion. He looked at his left hand and saw that those strange pale golden lines were retreating from his fingertips and slowly shrinking back into the secret pattern.
"Just now……?!"
"I, I was summoned by that book, and then a dream was created...?"
He glanced at his watch.
4: 49.
"call--"
He took a deep breath and held onto the old bookshelf at hand, still feeling a lingering fear in his heart.
As he panted and pondered, he could even vaguely sense the location of "The Lawmaker's Theory". It was hidden in a "secret compartment" in this library, and it required some magical steps or rituals to be opened.
It might be in the library, or it might not be on any floor at all.
"The Law-Maker Says", if you read the book, you will know that it is related to the "Law-Maker", and everything related to the "Law-Maker" needs to be treated with caution.
"It's really scary... When I got to the art building, she summoned me. When I got to the library, I was summoned by a book about her..."
"Am I a fucking summoned creature?" He couldn't help but tease himself as if he had survived a disaster.
If I am really a summoned creature of a "Mage-Maker", then "The Law-Maker's Sayings" is the contract, right?
Of course, it's just a joke. It's simply impossible.
He shook his head, controlling himself not to think about anything troublesome.
Tonight, his "understanding" of the campus has deepened too much. Before returning to the campus smoothly, he will try his best to avoid complications. No, try his best to avoid "any more" complications.
As soon as he turned around, he found that the female dormitory manager was looking at him with a lamp in her hand. Her eyes were a little distracted, but still looked fierce. And the female dormitory manager was looking at his... buttocks?
He quickly pulled at his ragged clothes to cover his private parts.
"Hey, hey, hey, if you keep looking at me, I'll get mad at you!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but shout out, this was truly the opposite of Tian Gang!
He has never suffered any loss in his life!
Do you dare to let him suffer any more losses?
The female dormitory manager was so frightened by Lin Yi's yell that she almost dropped the old kerosene lamp with her hands shaking.
That area disappeared! She was shocked and found that the quagmire-like blocking feeling had disappeared without a trace.
"You...you just had a dream?!" She rushed to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi shrugged and muttered, "I remember I mentioned it beforehand... I'm a 'Dream Builder' major, right?"
He appears calm on the surface, but he's actually feeling very happy inside. Wow, he finally got his act together. It wasn't easy!
Before they could say anything more, a rapid beeping sound suddenly sounded, echoing throughout the library like an air raid sirens.
“Wu—wu—wu—”
As the buzzer sounded, the originally soft orange-yellow light in the library suddenly turned red.
"The red light is on!" Lin Yi and the female dormitory manager looked at each other.
"Go! Go to the counter!"
The two walked side by side and rushed out of the book storage area.
Along the way, the bookshelves beside the two of them kept brushing against them like trees on the roadside. In less than a minute, they arrived at the counter.
At this moment, the sign in front of the counter still had the "×" facing outwards, and the so-called librarian had not appeared yet.
Lin Yi glanced at his watch.
4: 50.
"According to the rules, security will arrive within 15 minutes..." Lin Yi muttered secretly, "That means we can see the security at 5:05 at the latest!"
He always felt that the word "security" represented safety on campus. As long as the security guard appeared, all problems seemed to be no longer a problem.
"What are you looking at?" The female dormitory manager glanced at Lin Yi's wrist in confusion.
Lin Yi seemed to have thought of something and shook his head slightly: "Nothing, just a little itchy... By the way, do you see anything on my arm?"
He raised his arm and motioned for the female dormitory manager to observe.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a hand control." The female dormitory manager smiled but declined politely.
Lin Yi understood what he meant. This female dormitory manager had a very deep level of knowledge, but she couldn't see his watch or the secret pattern branded on his arm.
He could understand not being able to see the secret pattern, after all, the pollution level was indeed very high, but this watch... was the pollution level also that high?
Emmmm... Actually, Lin Yi also realized this, but what he couldn't accept was how this "ancestral watch" with "modern technology" could be so deeply contaminated, and he didn't seem to feel any discomfort when wearing it... right?
Lin Yi took out the "Library Rules" and played with it in his hand. When the security guard came, he would put the rules away and leave.
The female dormitory manager was also waiting for the security guard to arrive with some boredom. She leaned on the counter, holding her cheek, and looked at Lin Yi's... body with nothing to do. Under the flashing red light, she looked a bit like a drunk woman at the bar.
Lin Yi didn't have the heart to pay attention to the female dormitory manager. The flashing red light gave him a vague feeling of uneasiness, as if something in his memory was about to be awakened.
He began to feel uneasy, his right leg trembled subconsciously, and his breathing became rapid.
"Are you okay?" The female dormitory manager noticed Lin Yi's abnormality and couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yi held his breath and shook his head slightly: "It's okay... I don't know why, my heart is beating a little fast..."
The female dormitory manager curled her lips and said, "What a cheesy love talk..."
"..." Lin Yi was speechless for a moment, but at this moment, he didn't have the heart to joke with the female dormitory manager.
Not long after, his heart began to beat rapidly.
As if sensing something, he looked sharply towards a certain place in the library...
"Here it comes!" he exclaimed subconsciously.
The female dormitory manager also looked in the direction where Lin Yi was looking.
In the dark area near the book collection area and the elevator, a dark gap appeared at some point. The asphalt-like darkness slowly spread out. The space was like a piece of paper stained with ink, and the blackness quietly spread...
“Boom… boom… boom…”
Heavy and slow footsteps slowly sounded, and orange light appeared from the darkness. Soon, the security guard's tall figure appeared under the light.
He was wearing a black windbreaker, which looked like a part of the night. The wide hem swayed rhythmically with his steps, and each swing seemed to carry the power of darkness. His shoulders were extremely broad, giving people a sense of an insurmountable barrier.
His face was hidden under the hood of his windbreaker, and only a deep shadow could be seen, like a black hole, as if it could absorb all the light around it.
He held an old kerosene lamp in his hand, and the dim flame was dancing tenaciously inside the glass cover. It was the only source of light in this dark world, but it was also like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished by the darkness at any time.
The darkness spread as the security guards moved, and so did the area of light, but that area was always smaller than the scope of the darkness, as if its borders were outlined by the darkness.
