Chapter 452 Deconstructing the Ashes

Chapter 452 Deconstructing the Ashes
Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt a chill constantly traveling through his body, circling along his spine, causing a layer of fine cold sweat to appear on his back.

He suddenly realized that he had fallen into a huge cognitive misunderstanding. Due to preconceived notions, he subconsciously did not think that the canteen was a threat to him, or a "hostile" unit.

Because the canteen owner was at least a member of the school's combat power, and he seemed to have a good relationship with the night watchman and Old Mo, so he was not wary of the canteen owner at all. But if -

What if the convenience store owner doesn’t buy his story?

Any interpersonal relationship, as long as it is not the most direct connection, once people are added in the middle, all kinds of problems will arise in maintaining it!

Who is the owner of the convenience store?
The last line of defense on campus!
The undefeated existence that directly dissuaded the "Ashebringer" (concept-level sculpture) from defeating the enemy!

He himself is a super unit at the "Supreme Judgment" level, so how could he take Lin Yi seriously?

Lao Mo and the night watchman seem to be human beings, but in fact they are already extraordinary creatures in human form. They are the same kind as the convenience store owner, but he is a human being!

Uh, that’s not right. Actually, he seems... after forging his golden skeleton, he is more or less no longer a normal person. But he seems to be the same type of person as the convenience store owner.

"In the eyes of the store owner, am I just a courier responsible for delivering 'Old Mo's heart'?"

The canteen owner delivers the goods from the clock tower of the Art Building and then receives them from the canteen in the campus cafeteria. And he, Lin Yi, has become... a wage earner?

Besides, the owner of the convenience store couldn’t possibly not have Lao Mo’s vision, and he must have regarded him as a power bank, so… as a courier, he also delivered himself to the door?

"Damn it... this isn't going to happen, is it?"

Moreover, the security guard seemed to have realized something, so he "gave orders" in his subconscious mind from the beginning, making him ignore the existence of the cafeteria as soon as he returned to the campus and choose to go to the teaching building!
Although, when he arrived at the campus, he had two choices. One was to follow the security guard and the black bib chef to the cafeteria, because the black bib chef would definitely return to the cafeteria. After he arrived at the cafeteria, he could wait there for the cafeteria to open; the other was to go to the teaching building and get the dictionary left by the head teacher-039.

At that time, the most sensible approach was the second one, but this is exactly where it gets unreasonable.

It is true that he went to get the dictionary, but before going, why didn't he consider the question of "whether he should go to the cafeteria first"?

Is it "no" or "he doesn't have this option"? !

As we all know, physical education teachers have the power to "give orders", and security guards have similar abilities, and night watchmen take this ability to the extreme.

Before the security guards separated from him, there was a very subtle "order"...

Lin Yi clearly remembered that the security guard took him and Zhao Lingxiao to the nearest street lamp pole, and then ordered them to leave:
"This is the school grounds. It's almost dawn, so they won't dare to act too recklessly... You can return to the teaching building as long as you follow the corresponding rules."

[You can return to the teaching building], this is a suggestion, but what if this is not a "suggestion" but an "order"?

The security guard erased his subconscious thoughts about the cafeteria, and he happened to have the idea of ​​going to the teaching building, so the whole process suddenly became "smooth".

Is it extremely dangerous to be in the cafeteria at that time?
It is indeed dangerous. From the perspective of the layer level, even now, the layer where the convenience store is located is extremely dangerous.

And could it be that the most dangerous unit in the cafeteria is not the weirdo, but the canteen owner?

Just like a father taking care of his child, the father is safest when it is dangerous and most dangerous when it is safe.

And during the seemingly safest daytime, the most dangerous unit in the safe cafeteria became... the canteen owner? !
"But... the logic is wrong!" Lin Yi felt that something was wrong again, because there was another reason why he trusted the convenience store owner - the rules!
The rules for canteen owners in the "Student Code", "Canteen Code", "Art Student Code", "Canteen Instructions" and other codes all appeared in his mind...

Student Code of Conduct:
"The canteen is on the first floor of the cafeteria and has no owner. When you pay for your purchases, just swipe your student ID at the self-service terminal. The canteen only has daily necessities and food, no souvenirs, especially things labeled 'student commemorative coins'. If you see someone claiming to be the owner of the canteen, please leave the canteen immediately."

Canteen Rules:
“If you are unable to leave the cafeteria after violating the above rules, please go to the canteen and wait until the canteen owner appears, tell him the problem you encountered, and follow all his instructions.

"Art Student Guidelines":
"You can always trust the store owner unconditionally and ask for help from him."

From the information in the code, we can see that the existence of the convenience store owner will manifest itself differently depending on the depth of pollution. Basically, the deeper the pollution, the more trust you need to place in the convenience store owner.

So his trust was right...

Is it because the store owner was injured that the change of “If the product doesn’t match the picture, please refer to the actual situation” appeared?... What a fucking change?
Lin Yi's mind raced, but these thoughts only took him a few dozen breaths. During this time, his body was still constantly resisting the pull of the ashes on the door.

"Forget it, why think so much? If the store owner is really determined to get me, I can bury myself on campus and he will dig me out!"

A sense of absurdity and ridiculousness suddenly arose in Lin Yi's heart. He was really worrying about nothing.

"Let's first resolve this predicament!"

Lin Yi felt that this was the most realistic thing. Don't pretend for a long time that the store owner was an enemy. In the end, when the other party came and saw him, it was like seeing a mouse caught by a mousetrap.

That would make people feel very abrupt and embarrassing!

As for the situation of the store owner, the ancients had already thought about it. As the saying goes -

《It's All Here》

He adjusted his state and then sent his perception to the ashes...

If you want to resolve the crisis, you must first deconstruct the crisis, or in other words, deconstruct... the ashes.

Things would be easier if we knew what the ashes were made of.

Before he became the "Apostle of Ashes", he could not imagine that his body could actually carry ashes, let alone that one day he would try to deconstruct this horrible substance.

What's even more absurd is that less than 24 hours had passed since he eliminated the ashes.

And now, his "mission level" has been upgraded from "eliminating the ashes" to "deconstructing the ashes", and judging from the current situation, this seems to be a "mission" in which he will die if he fails.

Besides, he had another guess...so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the risk to deconstruct the ashes.

Then, his consciousness seeped out along the surface of his body and condensed into countless invisible perception tentacles, spreading little by little towards the part of the ashes behind him.

However, as soon as his perception touched the ashes, an indescribable tingling sensation penetrated into his consciousness along the perception tentacles.

Lin Yi's pupils dilated slightly, and in a trance, he seemed to see a blazing fire area. In the fire area, a giant red-flame python was spitting out its huge tongue and rushing towards him.

"boom--"

In reality, a huge wave of fire suddenly rolled up from the ashes, swallowing him like a mouth.

"Oh no!" Lin Yi thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly took off the backpack from his body and carried it as far away from himself as possible to avoid being affected by the flames of the ashes.

The next moment, ashes swept through his body with the force of burning a city.

"boom--"

Since Lin Yi's body had long been able to bear the ashes, he was not burned at the first moment. But the ashes now were not ordinary ashes at all, but rekindled flames!
Under the burning of the ash flames, Lin Yi's body began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, it became like a red-hot iron.

His body became redder and redder, and gradually became so transparent that one could see the blood vessels, muscle fibers, and even the skeleton in his body.

His senses seemed to be ignited, and an intense burning sensation permeated his consciousness and reached deep into his soul, making him feel as if his soul was being ripped out of his body and thrown into the Avici Hell.

This burning sensation is no different from putting one's hand into fire, but if it were just that it would be fine. The key point is that he is not just putting his hand into the flames, but he is disassembling and assembling the iron blocks in the flames!
"Deconstruct the ashes! We must deconstruct the ashes!!"

Lin Yi roared in his heart, and his burning sensory tentacles continued to struggle in the ashes, desperately trying to capture the trajectory of all extraordinary powers.

Ashes should be some kind of extremely advanced supernatural power!
Theoretically, any energy has the potential to be deconstructed!

However, no matter how hard he tried to capture the trajectory of the extraordinary power in the ashes, the burning ashes were as brilliant as fireworks, making it impossible for his sensing tentacles to get close at all, and they would even be burned to ashes the moment they touched the ashes.

"This approach is simply a drop in the bucket. My perception is not even enough to burn the ashes!"

Lin Yi clenched his teeth, his face flushed red, beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed out of his forehead like they were free, and his school uniform was soaked with sweat.

Why is there no logic?!
Extraordinary...even extraordinary powers should not be illogical!

Even "Qi" should have its source and trajectory!

"'Source'?! That's it! The source!!"

“Wait… wait!”

At the critical moment, Lin Yi seemed to think of what Tian Bufan once said in his mind - understand the rules, abide by the rules, become the rules, and then... transcend the rules!
"If you want to deconstruct ashes, you must first become ashes!"

"Become 'ashes'!"

“Yes! Yes!!”

If you can’t force it to deconstruct from the outside, then feel it slowly from the inside!
He then withdrew his sensing tentacles and stopped struggling in vain. Instead, he began to guide the ashes into his body, blending with the ashes in his body...

This fusion process was not comfortable at all. After all, it was just a different kind of carrying. Lin Yi was directly attracting that part of the burning ashes into his body.

As a result, the flesh and blood on his body were almost burned to ashes in such flames, leaving only a golden skeleton wrapped with his internal organs and brain, standing tall in the flames.

Like a naked Ghost Rider, or like a... "Bone Husband".

His flesh and blood could not bear the burning ashes, but his skeletal body, after being tempered and polished by the high-level extraordinary creation, the quantum giant bell "Sanctuary", was no longer afraid of such flames.

It is not so much that he carried the burning ashes, but rather that his bones were hard enough that they could not be burned.

At this point, Lin Yi said he was very familiar with the next step - to create a new body!
Only this time, the burning ashes must be mixed into the "raw materials"!

He began to reshape his body...

While reshaping, I could feel the breath of violence and destruction in the burning ashes.

Gradually, the original flesh and blood began to grow on his body surface. The muscle fibers were like the roots of an ancient tree breaking through the ground, spreading along the cracked earth, and then covering the entire body surface.

However, this growth process exudes a strange sense of picture, and in the muscle fibers, there is a red-gold glow flowing, which is the light and heat emitted by the burning ashes.

As his flesh and blood continued to regenerate, a strange, diamond-like dazzling light began to flow on Lin Yi's body surface.

From a distance, his body looked like a human silhouette made up of countless glass fragments...

“This… me…?”

Lin Yi raised his arm in front of himself, repeatedly observing the flesh and blood that had the texture of glass and diamond under the burning ashes, feeling an indescribable sense of terror and shock in his heart.

It was because he had already seen such a scene before, on the body of the "Ashebringer" and the "concept-level sculpture"!

“W-How could this happen…?!”

At this moment, he suddenly heard the familiar yet unfamiliar sound of a train passing by quickly in the tunnel.

“Bang, bang, bang…!!”

“Bang, bang, bang…!!”

What was different from before was that the sound this time was more intense and rapid than ever before.

His mind was in a trance, and an illusory mirage appeared before his eyes. He felt as if he was thrown into a maze-like sun room filled with disordered mirrors and glass. Countless chaotic lights and shadows were arranged in front of him...

He could not feel gravity or sound, and the whole world was so quiet that it seemed as if only the sound of breathing remained.

"Hu, hu, hu..."

He felt like he was moving in some corridor...

But he didn't make any footsteps, at least, he couldn't hear his own footsteps.

In this chaotic world, he floated forward and finally stopped in front of a door.

He looked at the house number.

"Group B Class 2".
