Chapter 443 The Fruit is Ripe, Anyone Who Sees It Gets a Share
At the door of Class 13, Group B, Lin Yi waved his hand lightly to dispel the sky blue aura on his hand, and carefully felt the movement outside the door. When he heard the terrified howl of the Laughing Angel, he couldn't help but reveal a look of doubt.
"its not right……"
"What's wrong?" Li Huiyuan asked.
Lin Yi said in a deep voice: "As I recall, the Laughing Angels should be chasing after the Ash Apostle, why are they panicking instead?"
Li Huiyuan was puzzled and asked: "When did you meet him?"
"Uh... this is not the point... I wanted to use the Laughing Angel's ability to chase light and use that 'Ashebringer' to lure them away, but now..." Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.
Li Huiyuan pursed her lips, curious but also a little scared: "Is it the so-called 'Apostle of Ashes'?"
"Well... but that's not what the teacher and I talked about." Lin Yi explained, "It should be 'made' by Shan Nan."
"Shannan...who is this?" Li Huiyuan was a little confused. Why were there so many things she didn't know?
Lin Yi briefly explained the existence of Shan Nan, and then said: "According to my and my teacher's speculation, Shan Nan should be using this "Apostle of Ashes" to do something... So even though I have the ability to kill it, I chose not to touch it."
In the current campus, in addition to the official forces, there are also infiltration forces, and some of the pawns of the infiltration forces happen to be on this level.
In addition, Lin Yi felt that Shan Nan most likely had his own selfish motives. In this case, the forces he knew about were very complicated.
In such a turbulent undercurrent, the situation was very vague. As a "chess piece" in the cognition of an unknown existence, he had to refrain from showing his ability to change the situation when the situation began to become clear - at least, before he returned to the dormitory at night and learned everything from Tian Bufan, it would be better for him not to show his ability to change the situation...
The water itself is turbid, and if he adds fuel to the fire, he might be able to take this opportunity to capture some additional information.
Moreover, the performance of this "Asheberian Fireman" is very different from the "Asheberian" he knows. Is it because it has just been transformed, or because it is not yet within the category of "Asheberian"?
After all... this seems to be a man-made carrier.
"Wait... an artificial carrier?!"
Lin Yi was suddenly stunned.
"No!" he exclaimed. "I figured it out!"
"what?"
"It shouldn't be considered an 'Apostle of Ashes' yet!" Lin Yi said in a lost voice, "Huihuizi, I just realized that my thinking may be limited. It is indeed difficult for living things to carry 'ashes', and the risk is extremely high. Will Shan Nan assemble something like a 'sweeping robot' to collect the ashes?"
Li Huiyuan suddenly realized: "You mean, that was not an 'Apostle of Ashes', but a 'humanoid self-propelled ash collector'?!"
Lin Yi quickly said: "It's just a guess... Anyway, I feel that it is very different from the "Ashebringer" in my impression."
"And the Laughing Angel is afraid of it, most likely because the ashes in its body are still burning..."
"Anyway, one of my goals was to use it to lure away the Laughing Angel." Lin Yi said, "Whether it lures away the Laughing Angel or scares him away, at least the results are similar..."
"Shall we go back to the teaching building?" Lin Yi asked, glancing down at his watch.
10: 12.
It’s actually not that early.
The cafeteria opens at 10:40 at noon, and it takes 15 to 20 minutes to get to the cafeteria from the teaching building. With his current walking speed, 15 minutes might be enough. After returning to the teaching building, he also plans to take a look at the corridor bridge leading to the library, and then briefly tell his homeroom teacher - 040 what he just discovered.
Time is tight and the schedule is full. If it is too tight, you may have to postpone going to the covered bridge to take a look at the library floor to the afternoon.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Huiyuan nodded obediently.
Lin Yi then patiently listened to the movement outside, and when there was no movement at all, he carefully opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, a sculpture of an angel with a strange smile appeared at the door.
"Ah——" Li Huiyuan screamed in fright, but she quickly covered her mouth as soon as she opened her mouth.
Lin Yi was also startled, but Li Huiyuan drowned out his scream, so he was not scared.
"It's petrified."
Lin Yi said with a serious expression. He summoned a baseball bat and lightly hit the sculpture of the eerie smiling angel. The sculpture of the eerie smiling angel responded with a "bang" and shattered to the ground.
"Sure enough, it has turned into a dead sculpture..."
"It seems that the flame emanating from that thing has the properties of an old kerosene lamp..."
Looking at the sculpture fragments on the ground, Lin Yi frowned slightly. He thought of the scene where the physical education teacher used an old kerosene lamp to pull the smiling angel out of the layer. The smiling angel in front of him was in a similar situation to that time, but it was not a newborn smiling angel with an hourglass, so it was completely hopeless. After being petrified, it shattered into pieces at the touch of a finger.
Walking out of the classroom, Lin Yi discovered that there were still many smiling angels in the corridor that had completely turned into dead sculptures. These were undoubtedly the work of "Ashes Apostle·Fire Man", but it was obvious that some of them had escaped.
But overall, this road is currently very unsafe.
Lin Yi took Li Huiyuan to the stairwell of Class 15, Group B.
Although there is a stairwell next to Class 13, Group B, Lin Yi does not plan to take that route.
First of all, although the method of returning the same way is stupid, it is the safest route.
Secondly, the fruit is ripe and whoever sees it can enjoy it.
Before leaving, he thought briefly and chose to close the door of Class 13, Group B.
Because the window of the classroom over there is broken, there's a chance that something will crawl in from there. If the door is closed, at least some of the dirt will be blocked by the "door" attribute.
After walking along the corridor for a distance, Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan discovered that there were charred stones on the corridor in front of them. The stones looked like the Taihu stones commonly seen in gardens, but were much smaller in size. They were also charred black overall, like the small black charcoal left after the wood was burnt.
There are many traces of cracks on the surface of the small black charcoal. In those cracks, you can vaguely see some red substances that look like flowing lava.
Those lava-like substances, coupled with the rugged mini Taihu stones, look like a stone wall with blood bodhi growing in the wind and clouds.
Those lava materials exuded an intoxicating fragrance. As soon as Lin Yi saw them, he subconsciously developed a strong desire to possess them.
"Gudu!"
He swallowed deeply, but the desire in his eyes seemed to be about to overflow.
"Are these... the collected "ashes"?" he exclaimed. Li Huiyuan asked puzzledly: "Lin Linzi, where did these things come from?"
There were none just now, but now there are so many more.
“Could it be related to the ‘Ashebringer’?” she guessed.
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "No, these people...are what the Fanatics and the Laughing Angels look like after being burned!"
"What?!" Li Huiyuan was shocked. "You mean, they are the ones that the fanatic teacher ordered to stay behind to attract the firepower of the Laughing Angel?"
Lin Yi walked quickly towards the Blood Bodhi Pillar and explained, "They absorbed the ashes that fell down and then burned themselves. The flames were transferred to the body of the Laughing Angel, which was also burned to ashes."
"And these materialized things should be what the 'ashes' look like after being refined."
He slowly approached the stone pillar, and before he could react, the "ashes" in his body suddenly became active. Then, before he could react, the lava-like substance in the Blood Bodhi stone pillar seemed to be attracted and turned into a pure red-gold airflow, floating out from it.
"Be careful!" Li Huiyuan exclaimed, subconsciously trying to pull Lin Yi away.
But Lin Yi waved his hand to stop him: "Don't be afraid, let me do it."
When this breath appeared, Lin Yi also had a strange feeling in his heart. He looked at the ashes as if he was looking at a fruit within reach. He reached out and picked it, and this breath merged into his body...
“This...?!” Li Huiyuan was stunned, her mouth wide open and unable to speak.
In just a few breaths, Lin Yi absorbed all the ashes extracted from the blood bodhi stone pillar in front of him.
Unfortunately, the amount of ash is too small.
He glanced around and gave an evil smirk.
He first released his perception, extending it to the corner of the stairwell, to sense the fluctuations of the layers.
Then, he began to sweep away these blood bodhi stone pillars.
At the beginning, when he sensed the Laughing Angel being burned by ashes, he had vaguely guessed the purpose of the weird art teacher. Now seeing these blood bodhi stone pillars, he naturally confirmed his speculation.
He didn't know how the infiltrating forces collected the ashes, but the way the fanatics collected the ashes was to use the fanatics and the laughing angels to carry the ashes, using them as carriers to refine the ashes, and eventually forming such stone pillars.
At that time, they only need to find a way to move the entire stone pillar. As for how many fanatics will be infected again by the ashes in the stone pillar during the transportation and then burned to ashes, it is unknown.
In short, the way for the fanatics to collect ashes is to fill them with their lives...
No wonder they keep laying... Only those with high quality are called "glorious evolution" companions, and those with poor quality can only be regarded as consumables that must be consumed for "collecting ashes".
Now, Lin Yi actually felt compassion for the world. He couldn't bear to see the fanatics consume so many companions in order to refine the ashes, and then consume some more companions in order to transport the ashes. So, with the mentality of "If I don't go to hell, who will?", he helped them reduce the stock of ashes with tears in his eyes...
In a corner of the teaching building, when Lin Yi was collecting ashes, the "Ashebishi·Fireman" who was strangling the neck of a certain smiling angel seemed to smell the scent of pure ashes, and suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
[The smell of "ashes"...]
It flashed its body, and carrying the smiling angel, it rushed towards Lin Yi's location. It was so fast that it left a blazing tail of fire behind it.
On the other side, Lin Yi felt his scalp tingling and a strong sense of crisis arose in his subconscious.
Before he could sense in the opposite direction, his perception that extended into the stairwell captured the fluctuation of the layer.
So he decisively gave up absorbing the ashes, grabbed Li Huiyuan's hand and rushed into the stairwell.
But just as he rushed out a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, and he broke off a blood bodhi stone pillar and grabbed it in his hand like a mace.
"Go, go, go! Go back to campus!"
He rushed into the stairwell with Li Huiyuan, and then did not forget to go down the stairs to the right. However, he had only taken a few steps when groups of nocturnal species gathered towards him with a rustling sound.
Lin Yi was too lazy to use any commandments and directly raised the Blood Bodhi Stone Pillar.
"boom……"
The nocturnal creatures that were closer to him were directly ignited and burned into powder with a "bang".
As soon as the other nocturnal creatures sensed the scent of ashes in the stone pillar, they retreated in fear, as if they had seen the sunlight.
For low-level creatures like them, the lethality of ashes and sunlight is actually not much different.
With the stone pillars clearing the way, it is much more convenient to go downstairs.
He turned around and passed the corner with Li Huiyuan, and the scene on the 4th floor of the teaching building was soon only one step away.
Lin Yi crushed the stone pillar with one hand, absorbed all the ashes, and then without waiting for the nocturnal creatures to react, he took Li Huiyuan through the final layer.
Just as the two figures disappeared in the layer between the fourth and fifth floors of the teaching building, the Ash Apostle, Fire Man, arrived at the corridor.
It looked at the Blood Bodhi Stone Pillar Forest where Lin Yi had harvested the first wave of leeks. There was not much disappointment on its face, but it looked around in a daze, as if it did not notice the existence of Ashes...
The ashes were clearly in the stone pillar next to him, but it just couldn't sense it.
In its world, this is just a rugged mini-stone forest and nothing else.
Following its vague memory, it came to the place where Lin Yi was originally. It touched the stone pillar and some doubts appeared in its eyes.
Just when it found nothing and was about to turn around and leave, it accidentally touched a blood bodhi stone pillar that had not been picked by Lin Yi, and then happened to come into contact with the lava-like substance.
A gleam of brilliance suddenly burst out of its eyes, and then it crushed the stone pillar.
When the stone pillar was broken, the extracted ashes would turn into powder, but it was not until this time that the ashes were sensed by it.
It suddenly became interested, and began to destroy all the stone pillars it could "see". Every time it destroyed one, it absorbed the ashes contained in the pillar. When it encountered stone pillars that had been collected by Lin Yi, it found nothing after smashing them, but it did not feel disappointed, but just kept destroying and absorbing bit by bit.
As it continued to absorb the ashes, the veins in its body that looked like red cast iron became more dazzling...
