Chapter 448 Time is the Anchor of Eternity

Chapter 448 Time is the Anchor of Eternity

Chapter 448 Time is the eternal anchor (asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month~)

But this reaction is definitely from Wei Liang.

Lin Yi sighed softly, and his breathing finally calmed down, but in the blink of an eye he saw Li Huiyuan with a serious expression.

Thinking about how he hadn't been able to differentiate between Li Huiyuan and the little girl just now, he couldn't help but tap his toes in his shoes again and again. If he told others about it, he didn't know if Li Huiyuan would really beat him up with that... masculine baseball bat.

"Well, I..." Lin Yi spoke slowly, not quite sure what Li Huiyuan's expression meant.

But he could never keep up with Li Huiyuan's train of thought. He only saw Li Huiyuan asking with a cute face: "Tell me the truth, who did you dream about?"

"Uh... Huh?!" Lin Yi was shocked and said immediately, "I was just lying to Liangzi... I just lost a level, and my will was taken away by a fake you, and I almost couldn't come back."

Li Huiyuan heard this and said seriously: "So the object of your dream is a fake me? Why can't it be real... uh, I mean, how do you know it's fake?"

I've already entered the student passage, how could I not know it was fake? Besides, the little girl has revealed her true face... Lin Yi muttered in his heart, but he suddenly realized something and quickly knocked on Li Huiyuan's head: "Okay, Li Huiyuan, is this all that's left in your mind?"

Li Huiyuan panicked upon hearing this, and quickly pointed at Wei Liang's back, her face full of innocence: "It's all because of the influence of Brother Liang Liangzi! If he hadn't stuffed so many good books in my pocket, I wouldn't know so many weird postures, no, so much weird knowledge!"

As Wei Liang stepped into the student passage, he stumbled and slipped, and almost lost his balance.

"Ahem... forget about all that for now, let's go eat." Lin Yi reminded.

Li Huiyuan nodded: "Well, I'll leave first then."

After saying goodbye, Li Huiyuan walked towards other passages. Lin Yi retracted his gaze and squinted his eyes to look towards the green belt. Then, he came to the entrance of the student passage.

He took another step and reached the student passage, but he did not go in. Instead, he stood at the entrance of the student passage, recalling the scenes in which he was guided by the Master to remove the layers.

The strong sense of reality made him doubt the boundaries of reality, and his only reliance to anchor himself might not only be his identity card, but his watch.

To be more precise, it is the steadily passing time on the watch.

【Time is the eternal anchor】

These words suddenly popped up in Lin Yi's mind.

Perhaps, this is the underlying logic behind exiling the Master of Magic, and also the reason why the Master of Magic found him.

He looked quietly at the student passage in front of him. He had been to this student passage so many times, but for the first time, he felt a sense of resistance and didn't want to enter.

Obviously, the student corridor was already filled with clear yellow light, giving off a soft feeling, but he always felt that the light was colder than before, as if the cold moonlight of late autumn had been chopped up and thrown randomly into the corridor.

The slowly swaying chandelier looked like the glowing head of a broken sculpture, and the pits and holes on the surrounding stone walls looked like wrinkles formed when the floors of the library were twisted and twisted together.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the student passage.

The moment he entered, a chilly feeling passed over his skin like water waves, and the icy breath made his hair stand up slightly.

In a trance, he seemed to hear the intermittent calling voice, as if calling his name, or humming an ancient and obscure language...

【Lin Yi...】

【Nr den……】

【Lin Yi...】

【svarte mnen……】

【…】

However, these whispers disappeared quickly, almost at the moment he stepped into the passage, and when he entered the student passage, everything disappeared without a trace.

"Hiss..." Lin Yi took a breath, rolled up his sleeves, and quickened his pace forward.

After walking a few steps, he found Wei Liang waiting for him in front. At this moment, Wei Liang was rubbing his hands, breathing heavily, and muttered: "Don't be surprised, Lao Lin, it's indeed a bit cold...but why do I feel that my neck seems to be colder?"

Of course it’s because your fangirl Hui Huizi is grateful to you... Lin Yi mourned for Wei Liang in his heart, but did not respond.

With the previous experience of being secretly tricked by Master Di, Lin Yi was much more cautious this time. Even if the thing in front of him was really Wei Liang, he did not answer.

Moreover, Wei Liang entered the student passage separately from him, so it would be better to ignore him before leaving the student passage.

So he silently passed Wei Liang and walked towards the exit of the student passage.

Wei Liang got angry when he saw this.

"Hey, Old Lin, did a wet dream make you grow up? Could it be that you, Jia Baoyu, dreamed of fighting with Fairy Jinghuan? Did you play with the real Fairy Jinghuan?"

Wei Liang started chasing after Lin Yi, holding up his trousers, looking like a boy transplanting rice in the hot summer rushing to eat watermelon.

Lin Yi stared at the exit of the student passage and silently counted the steps in his mind. When he counted one hundred steps, his vision suddenly became clear, and he walked through the student passage smoothly.

He subconsciously looked towards the exit of the student passage, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

He pursed his lips, and a feeling of sadness slowly spread in his chest.

The student passage remains the same, but Lao Mo is gone.

Speaking of which, he didn't know if it was because of the loss of Lao Mo or the intensification of the gray fog invasion, but he felt that the student passage had become a little unstable. That weird and strange feeling always lingered over his head like a dark cloud, making him feel vaguely uncomfortable.

Without time to feel overly sad, he took a deep breath, tightened the straps on his shoulders, and his eyes became much more determined.

Just then, Wei Liang rushed out grunting.

"Old Lin, you are too unkind. Will I die later?"

Wei Liang rushed out, put his hand on Lin Yi's shoulder, and called out breathlessly.

Lin Yi was sure that this guy was the real Wei Liang, but he still asked, "Why do you look so tired? And you look a little weak?"

Wei Liang glared at him and sneered, "Do you believe that I fought with both my left and right hands last night?"

"I believe it." Lin Yi nodded.

"Wow! Damn it! You actually believed this. Did you really spend the night with Teacher Lin?" Wei Liang was fuming. "I told you that the way she looked at you this morning was not right. She was full of resentment. Was it because you didn't have enough strength to surrender early?"

"What are you thinking, Liangzi?" Lin Yida was speechless. He thought to himself, you've led Huihuizi astray, okay?

Wei Liang pressed on, “Just tell me whether you fought Teacher Lin for 300 rounds!”

"How did it become 040 rounds again? Don't think too much..." Lin Yi was about to refute, but suddenly remembered that he did fight with the class teacher- for rounds. Of course, it was a serious life-and-death struggle. Seeing Lin Yi's hesitation, Wei Liang immediately covered his chest with a look of pain on his face: "Ahhhhhh... I knew it, I knew it..."

"Damn, it's not what you think, Liangzi..." Lin Yi said quickly.

"Get out! Get out of here right now! Go eat your meal! I can't eat anymore just because of you!" Wei Liang pointed at the plastic curtain not far away with an angry look on his face. "I must tell Mr. Tian and the others about your glorious deeds. I hope Wei Sang doesn't beat you up, the traitor who lost his virginity first!"

When he heard the word "traitor", for some reason, Lin Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, but he didn't have time to think about it and walked towards the plastic curtain.

"I'm really in a hurry. If you have anything to say, let's talk in the classroom this afternoon!" Lin Yi waved his hand, glanced at the time on his watch, and pushed open the plastic curtain and entered the student cafeteria.

Just a few minutes after Lin Yi entered the student passage, Tian Bufan, Wei Shan and Kuai Hongji walked out of the exit of the student passage together.

When a few people saw Wei Liang, they walked over.

Tian Bufan smiled and said, "Old Lin went in first?"

Wei Liang curled his lips: "You ask even though you already know the answer. I guess he is in a hurry to go to the store."

"Why don't you go and take a look together?" Tian Bufan said with a smile.

"I don't dare to go." Wei Liang shrugged. "Getting some bread at the door is already my limit. If I go in, the boss will kill me."

Kuai Hongji smiled sinisterly: "That's right, when you came up, you made a mess of the store..."

Wei Liang jumped up immediately after hearing this: "Hey, hey, hey, let me repeat it again! I just took the wrong path! What do you mean by making a mess? Do you believe me or not, I will sue you for defamation?"

"'Wrong way'? If you have the guts, go and explain it to him yourself." There was a hint of sneer on Kuai Hongji's feminine face.

Wei Shan said in a low voice: "Stop talking, are you coming in or not?"

He looked at Lin Yi in the student cafeteria and gradually clenched his fists. At this moment, Lin Yi was... putting tomatoes on his plate. Next to him was a chef in a green bib with a weird smile on his face.

Tian Bufan reached out to stop Wei Shan: "Don't worry Wei Sang, let's wait until Lao Lin finishes eating before we go in."

"I have no objection." Kuai Hongji said, "But I want to eat on the second floor this time."

"Aren't upstairs and downstairs the same? You're just picky!" Wei Shan retorted.

"Now that we are here, it would be a shame if we don't go." Kuai Hongji said coldly, "Are you going or not?"

"Let's go together." Tian Bufan said, "There's nothing else to do anyway."

As he was speaking, another figure walked out of the student passage. It was the mountain man with a dusty face and carrying a lot of bags.

As soon as Shannan appeared, he immediately noticed Wei Liang. His eyes suddenly focused and his expression darkened.

He stared at Wei Liang for a while, but did not walk over. Instead, he turned his head, lifted the plastic curtain, and walked into the student cafeteria.

Wei Shan glanced at Lin Yi who had not yet left completely, and wanted to intercept Shan Nan, but was stopped by Tian Bufan.

Tian Bufan shook his head slightly: "Let him go."

"But he..." Wei Shan looked extremely reluctant.

"He is just an insignificant person. There is no need to take action against him." Tian Bufan said.

Kuai Hongji also echoed coldly: "But that guy is very unlucky."

Tian Bufan didn't know what he was thinking about. He was silent for a while, then nodded: "It's really unlucky... But tragedy is the tone of this era. We are not qualified to sympathize with others. Just take care of yourself."

"Yeah." Wei Shan nodded in a deep voice and looked inside the student cafeteria. At this moment, Lin Yi had already arrived at the door of the canteen.

"It's almost time, let's go in too." Tian Bufan said, and lifted the plastic curtain.

Others followed suit.

……

a moment ago.

May 023, X5, 10:10, cafeteria, student restaurant.

Lin Yi pushed aside the plastic curtain and entered the student cafeteria.

As soon as he stepped into the student cafeteria, a chill ran up Lin Yi's spine. The light plastic curtain fell heavily behind him, like an iron door closing the door to the world.

The ceiling of the restaurant seemed to be a little higher than usual, and the incandescent light bulbs hanging there gave people a shaky feeling for some reason.

The light was always on, but its brightness dimmed from time to time like a candle flame swaying in wind and rain.

The students' shadows were pulled into various distorted shapes by the flickering light, like a monster with bared fangs and claws.

A poster similar to one from a horror movie in the 80s was posted on the circular pillar inside the restaurant at some point. It showed a chef in a green bib and a Dracula costume, with the words "New products on the shelves! Welcome to dine at window No. 10!" written below the poster.

Lin Yi shook his head and looked again, only to find that the poster was gone.

But he still stopped.

He had never doubted the circular columns in the cafeteria, but after passing through the student passage, he suddenly felt that this circular column had some flavor of Doric columns.

It has a similar outline, but lacks some detailed carving.

As one of the first people to arrive at the student cafeteria for lunch, when Lin Yi arrived, there were very few people in the cafeteria.

But green bib chefs are plentiful.

The shadow of the chef in the green bib can be seen behind the stone pillars, in the gaps between the dining tables, next to the plate recycling area, and near the meal purchase window.

The faces of these chefs in green bibs seemed to be illuminated by the green light from a cemetery. They looked not only strange but also creepy.

Lin Yi silently withdrew his gaze, and felt that there seemed to be some difference in the student cafeteria. After a closer look, he found that there were only "2", "3" and "4" meal purchase windows left yesterday, but today there was one less - the incandescent light above the No. 3 meal purchase window was off.

The entire interior of the student cafeteria is like a fragmented lens. Some of the lenses can still reflect light, while others can only reflect light into darker places.

In those lenses with plenty of light, the tables and chairs are neatly stacked, but in those dark areas where the light cannot reach, the tables and chairs are placed in a disorderly manner, and many of them are tilted to the ground, as if they had experienced a fierce fight.
