Chapter 442: When the Black Moon Withers, the Mourners Return from the Endless Deep Sea
Chapter 442: "When the Black Moon Fades, the Mourner Returns from the Endless Deep Sea"
Its body became somewhat transparent, and the bones and meridians in its body took on a crystal-like state, like a sky lantern lit on a midsummer night. The bones glowed orange and yellow, and the skin and flesh also took on a jelly-like texture.
And inside its body, Lin Yi felt the breath of a large amount of ashes.
"It actually carried the ashes alive? It is now also an 'Apostle of Ashes'?" Lin Yi was very surprised. That guy carried the ashes but was still alive, just like him, but also... a little different.
Li Huiyuan gently tugged at Lin Yi's hand: "Lin Linzi, did you find anything?"
"There are some discoveries." Lin Yi said, "but I can't connect them... Forget about it for now, we will stay here for a while and leave when the Laughing Angel disappears."
He didn't know why the Laughing Angel appeared, but it seemed that its target was not him, but those fanatics.
Because every time he was locked by the Laughing Angel, he would have a feeling of "I'm locked", but this time it was obviously not the case.
However, although he said so, he was actually a little worried in his heart, because the weird art teacher said that the existence that can carry the "ashes" and remain immortal will become an "Ashes Apostle", but all "Ashes Apostles" will kill each other.
He was worried that this non-existent person would suddenly attack and fight with him.
Of course, he is not afraid of pure combat. With his current physique, he can easily win a physical battle, but he does not want to waste time at this time.
Moreover, he had no experience fighting against the "Ashebringer". If the opponent was an indestructible cockroach like him, he could not think of any other way to fight it except dismembering it.
And dismemberment...how could that guy just stand there and wait for him to do it?
Therefore, Lin Yi did not approach that person, but looked outside the broken window. At this time, countless ashes were floating in the sky, like a sky full of stars. Sometimes they fell down and were then absorbed by the non-existent person.
"Huh?" Lin Yi suddenly discovered something. Why did this abandoned classroom look so similar to the Class 18 of Group C that he saw in Mr. Tian's vision?
Broken windows, messy classrooms, abandoned bookshelves, scattered pages, and the cold sea breeze...
What happened in that battle? It seems that all these classrooms were affected.
He suddenly felt a sense of something and looked towards the gap in the window. Then, his vision slowly moved closer and he soon saw the world outside the gap.
“Hmm, that’s…?!”
Outside the window, the world is still shrouded in white fog.
But from the white fog, the sound of "哗——哗——" waves could be heard from time to time, and in the depths of the fog, the vague outline of a building was looming.
"Art Building?!"
“Is that the art building?”
Lin Yi felt that he saw the coastline and the castle-like art building on the coastline.
At this moment, he suddenly found that Li Huiyuan's palms were a little cold.
He quickly looked at Li Huiyuan, only to find that the blood color on Li Huiyuan's face was fading at a fast speed, and her palms began to show a blue-gray texture like stone slabs in the rain, and became stiff at an extremely fast speed.
"Li Huiyuan lost her layer!"
His heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know how Li Huiyuan dropped out of the layer, but he immediately started the wake-up procedure.
"Hui Hui Zi! Hui Hui Zi! Hui Hui Zi..."
He put his hands on Li Huiyuan's shoulders and started shaking her.
After shaking it a few times, he felt that the light in the bookshelf area, which was not very bright to begin with, suddenly became dim. At the same time, he began to hear some vague singing in the wind, as well as the clanging sound of chains in the wind.
【Lin Yi ah Lin Yi...】
【You are finally here! 】
A laughing voice from a broken sculpture appeared above his head, and the voice was getting closer and closer to him. Before he could raise his head, a broken and childish face appeared upside down in front of him.
"Ah!" Li Huiyuan screamed and jumped up in fright at the broken sculpture.
She subconsciously wanted to summon a mini baseball bat, but found that she couldn't summon it at all now, and she couldn't even condense the sky blue aura.
"You dropped a layer. Only your consciousness appeared here, but your extraordinary characteristics did not follow." Lin Yi explained.
"The layer dropped?" Li Huiyuan was stunned. "When did I drop it? No, that's not right. If I dropped a layer, what about you?"
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on. I was waking you up, and then my consciousness appeared here... Maybe our consciousnesses have merged before, so I am following your consciousness by mistake..."
This operation seemed a bit like the Night Watchman sneaking into his consciousness and locating the "Quartermaster" according to his consciousness.
But Lin Yi is now like a little kid who randomly created a big move while playing arcade games. Even he himself doesn't know how he did it.
【Lin Yi ah Lin Yi...】
【Take us away...】
[It’s time to take us away…]
One broken sculpture after another was hung down, as if protesting with this low call - can you please respect us?
Although Li Huiyuan was somewhat afraid of these hideous and dilapidated sculptures, when Lin Yi was by her side, she felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill and was no longer so frightened. However, she still felt confused.
"What should we do next? This is the first time I've ever..."
Lin Yi said: "This is the first time I've been in a situation like this... but no matter how things change, the essence remains the same, don't worry."
He almost patted his chest and said, "I don't need to be too familiar with this, don't be afraid, it's just a drop in the layer, it's completely child's play", but he still chose to leave his calm side to Li Huiyuan.
"Listen, Huihuizi..." Lin Yi said, "There are many types of layer loss. The one we are experiencing now is that our consciousness has left the body inadvertently. We just need to sense the body again to return..."
"You recite your correct location information silently in your mind, and then you can sense the main body. After sensing it, you can go back."
"Okay, I'll try!" Li Huiyuan was eager to try.
After a few breaths, Li Huiyuan's figure faded in front of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi immediately understood that she was leaving.
He then sensed his own body and planned to leave.
At this moment, the broken sculptures surrounded him, grabbing his arms or dragging his shoulders.
[You said... "When the black moon fades... the mourners return from the endless deep sea"...]
[You forgot...]
【You forgot!!】
【No……】
【We will be waiting for you...】
[Waiting for you to take us away...] [When the black moon fades...]
【Mourners...】
[From the Endless Abyss...]
【Return...】
【Come……】
"call……"
Lin Yi's vision changed quietly. When it stabilized, he had returned to the abandoned classroom, still shaking Li Huiyuan.
Li Huiyuan's body temperature has now returned to normal, but she has not yet woken up.
Lin Yi thought that it was the first time that Li Huiyuan's skin layer dropped and it might take a longer time to recover, so he continued shaking.
But Li Huiyuan still showed no signs of waking up.
He was a little confused and a little anxious: "Why can't he be woken up? Is there something missing?"
He hesitated for a moment, and decided to take an unconventional approach: "How about... trying Wei Sang's method?"
Although doing so is a bit cruel, but compared to Li Huiyuan's continued decline, it is necessary to take drastic measures.
He then pursed his lower lip and slowly raised his hand, ready to wake Li Huiyuan up...
But as soon as he raised his hand, Li Huiyuan opened her eyes.
Not only did they open their eyes, but they were wide open, watery, and filled with intense anger...
"Lin Linzi, you're going too far!"
"Ah? I... this, this, this..." Lin Yi was in a dilemma and silently put down his hand, "Listen to my explanation... I actually..."
"Isn't it just that you can't shake him awake? Why do you have to be so violent? Can't you use some fairy-tale-like techniques?!" Li Huiyuan's eyebrows were twisted, and she almost threw fairy tales like "Snow White and the Necromancer Prince" at Lin Yi's face.
"A fairy-tale-like... technique?" Lin Yi was confused, but suddenly realized something and said in a lost voice, "Have you woken up a long time ago, but closed your eyes, waiting for me to give you..."
"Don't say it! Don't say it!" Li Huiyuan was so angry that she stomped her feet. Her face turned red with anxiety, and hot air was puffing out of her forehead, like a human-shaped steam engine.
"Uh uh..." Lin Yi quickly shut his mouth.
But Li Huiyuan still refused to give in.
At this moment, a breath suddenly appeared, as if a heat wave suddenly emerged in the snowstorm. The strong sense of incongruity immediately diluted the somewhat charming atmosphere between Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan.
They both looked towards the place where the breath appeared, and saw that the "non-existent person" curled up in the corner had opened his eyes and cast his gaze on them.
The moment he was stared at, Lin Yi suddenly felt his body tighten, as if someone was holding a handful of needles and gently poking his skin, making him feel uneasy.
The man's face was ashen, his eyes as calm as dead water, and he no longer had any trace of the fear he had in the early morning.
He slowly stood up, like a red-hot human-shaped cast iron, continuously radiating waves of heat in all directions.
"Lin Linzi..." Li Huiyuan took Lin Yi's arm. The more nervous she became, the tighter she held it, wishing she could hold Lin Yi's hand until he died in front of her.
"Don't be nervous, let's retreat towards the door together, slowly... I'll take care of everything." Lin Yi stared at the guy and retreated carefully with Li Huiyuan.
The man also took a step forward and began to walk towards Lin Yi.
However, he now seemed to have not adapted to this lava-like body, and his movements were a little stiff.
The conceptual sculpture also carries the existence of "ashes". It looks like gorgeous broken glass. Lin Yi is no different from an ordinary person, while this non-existent person is like a fire man. His state seems to be unstable, as if he is ignited by the ashes, but not burning... It is indeed a subtle and strange state.
Lin Yi did not sense any hostility from him...
"Aren't they going to kill each other? Is the situation wrong? Or am I understanding it wrong?"
Lin Yi kept thinking, and soon he brought Li Huiyuan down from the classroom and slowly arrived at the door of the classroom, which was only a few steps away.
And at this moment, the confused eyes of the fire man finally revealed a hint of intelligence. It looked at Lin Yi, and just a glance fell on him. The next moment, its eyes were full of murderous intent.
“Howl—”
He let out a long roar, and rushed out from the bookshelf area like a meteor, drawing a fiery arc in the classroom, and pounced towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's eyes flashed with brilliance. He threw Li Huiyuan away and said, "Look down at the ground, don't look at us!"
After throwing it out, he could no longer care about Li Huiyuan, but quickly turned the locked lock tongue. At the same time, he reached out and pressed his left arm, and began to activate the secret pattern, summoning a super-large hacksaw!
The "Ashebringer" in front of him had just been born and had not yet shown any extraordinary characteristics that could directly affect the layer. This was the perfect time for him to fight with it.
Upon seeing this, the "Apostle of Ashes - Fire Man"'s eyes were filled with fighting spirit, flames surged around his body, and he smashed in front of Lin Yi with a blazing wind.
Lin Yi let out a long roar, also full of fighting spirit: "Come on! Let's fight to the death!"
“Howl—”
"Ashebringer Fireman" also let out a long, war-loving howl.
Seeing the fire man approaching, Lin Yi's high-level perception exploded, the light around him dimmed in an instant, and the scale of time distorted and stretched in front of him.
At this moment, he could clearly see the ferocious face of the fire man, the muscles on his body that seemed to be woven from fibers containing the power of fire, the lines on his skin that looked like secret patterns, and the red mist floating around his body...
In this time scale, he opened the door of the classroom with lightning speed.
The moment he opened the door, he actually saw some smiling angels who had not yet dispersed and were still wandering outside the classroom.
He smiled, a smile that was so innocent.
He dodged the attack of the Ash Apostle, Fireman, by leaning sideways, then released an almost materialized sky-blue aura with his left hand, which hit Fireman hard on the back, sending him out of the classroom door!
"Bye bye!"
Before the Ash Apostle, Fireman, could react, Lin Yi threw him into the corridor outside the classroom. The next moment, Lin Yi closed the classroom door at lightning speed and turned the lock tongue a few times.
The life-and-death fight, the passionate 1v1, are all fake, they will only send you thousands of miles away.
After the door was closed, the door properties appeared, naturally isolating the inside and outside of the classroom, becoming two different worlds.
In the corridor, the confused Apostle of Ashes, Fireman, looked confused, and the wandering Angel of Sly Smile was everywhere.
The next moment, looking at the huge number of smiling angels, the eyes of Ash Apostle Fireman gradually curved up, as if he saw a group of prey...
Sensing a bad premonition, the smiling angels scattered like birds and beasts, but it seemed too late...
