Chapter 466: Lin Yi, the source of darkness?
Chapter 466: The Source of Darkness Lin Yi…?
Just as he was struggling with how to remove the human body's limbs, torso, etc., it seemed because he had waited too long, Wei Liang on the side couldn't bear it anymore.
"Ouch!" He muttered and stood up, patting the dirt on his butt while urging, "Old Lin, what on earth do you want to do by dawdling like this?"
"Hey!"
"Don't watch it, don't watch it!"
"Pretending to be a puppet or something, doesn't it sound like playing with models?"
"It's such a big carrot, and it doesn't have any boundaries, so you can just toss it around as you like."
"Is it necessary to be in a daze for so long?"
"Hey, I wanted to take a look at it... I'm going back to the classroom to appreciate the book."
As he said this, he happily slid away, just like a passerby who leaves the show midway because he can't see enough.
But Lin Yi began to ponder over Wei Liang's words.
"Playing with models? Just messing around? Liangzi must be giving me a hint, right?"
He kept muttering Wei Liang's words, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Could it be that the point Wei Liang wanted to imply was "there are no boundaries"?
He insisted on using the butcher-like method to cut up an ox, trying to feel the boundaries of the body, and then find the part that was closest to his idea, and then take it out. However, Wei Liang's "suggestion" seemed to ask him to ignore the boundaries and just get started?
If I ignore the boundaries... is that okay?
He pondered for a while, then started to gesture in the air.
And when he gestured to a certain step, a bright light suddenly burst out in his eyes.
"It really works!"
"As expected of Ryoko!"
He found that if his original idea was to make a bracelet from the raw stone, then Wei Liang's approach was to chop the raw stone with a drastic move.
There is no need to consider boundaries at all. The so-called boundaries can be created when needed!
The moment he figured it out, he clenched his right hand, and secret patterns appeared under the skin of his palm like fireflies. Then countless sky blue auras rushed out and intertwined into a kitchen knife emitting blue light.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, gripped the handle of the knife, and swung the kitchen knife hard into the roots.
“Tuk!”
A dull chopping sound was heard, as if a failed work in a sword-forging competition had hit dead pork and was almost stuck.
Lin Yi did not draw his sword, but directly canceled the kitchen knife, then condensed the kitchen knife again and swung it again.
He chopped at the same spot repeatedly, one blow after another, and finally after a dozen chops, he completely broke through the flesh and blood, and with a "bang" he chopped at the core of the spine.
"This root is not as easy to chop as I thought, but those greenskins managed to chop it easily... What's going on?"
"Could it be related to the direction of the pollution?"
He pondered over it secretly, and then tried to produce some artistic green aura - this was his first attempt to condense green aura, and the effect was surprisingly good.
Almost with just a thought, his body instinctively mobilized the original pollution flowing through his body, and then transformed it into a rich emerald green, which was directly attached to the blade of the kitchen knife.
Lin Yi was secretly delighted. He picked up the kitchen knife again and this time he chopped it in with almost no hindrance.
He began to work vigorously, but the root situation was far more complicated than he had imagined, and the amount of work he had to do was far more than the green-bibbed chef's method of slicing off a few pieces of meat.
After all, the green bib chef's job is just to pick the grapes, and not only does he have to pick them, he has to break down the grape vines.
The roots that grew from the fused body parts glowed a little bit in the dim sunlight, and countless vertebrae were entangled like the roots of a mutant banyan tree. As the flesh and blood were removed, the calcified hyphae growing in the gaps between the deformed ribs were also exposed. It looked like some kind of connecting organ of the Zerg or Alien, gluing the clavicle and pelvis into a strange branch-like structure.
Lin Yi was a little hesitant for a moment. Should this part of the bone be used as a clavicle... or a pelvis?
It would be a joke if a Kabuda was constructed through all the manipulation.
The thought of complaining only flashed through his mind. Lin Yi continued to concentrate. He swung the kitchen knife and began to remove the bones according to his perception. With one cut after another, he removed the flesh and blood from the roots one by one.
What Lin Yi found interesting was that even though it was the same "root", the properties of the flesh and blood were actually quite different.
The parts exposed on the outermost layer had already shown signs of petrification on the way he carried it, just like the surface of a ham, but when you cut it open, the flesh and blood inside was still very "fresh".
After most of the flesh and blood were removed, the roots began to undergo some unknown changes...
“Glelelele…”
“Glelelele…”
The flesh at the end of the bone was soft and in a semi-liquid, viscous state. When the blade scraped across there, the bone made a sound similar to the friction of an oyster shell. Every time a piece of flesh was removed, some black mucus like petroleum would seep out from deep within the bone.
A drop of such liquid falling on the ground was like a corrosive liquid, evaporating into a strange mist that looked like a face, as if there were some souls mourning.
“Glelelele…”
“Glelelele…”
Lin Yi continued to scrape, and when all the bones were exposed, the entire root suddenly made a buzzing sound like an organ.
“Da da da da da…”
“Da da da da da…”
Lin Yi felt like he was holding a bunch of huge wind chimes made of bones, which looked like some weird, distorted arthropods...
The vertebrae twisted as if they had life, giving Lin Yi a feeling of baring fangs and claws. Lin Yi discovered that the bones actually began to generate mist on their own!
No, to be more precise, it should be the viscous petroleum-like liquid that came into contact with the gas evaporated from the transformation of matter, lingering around the vertebrae and looking like mist.
Lin Yi frowned, he felt that the preliminary work was nearing completion, the next step was to select suitable bones as the foundation.
It’s just that the growth of this group of vertebrae is very disgusting, and it’s really hard to make sense of it.
Isn't it you who waits... to sort out the clues?
And you still want to get a haircut!
Wei Liang’s “stupid teachings” are still ringing in my ears, so why are I trying to figure things out again?
He then picked out a few relatively standard bones and started chopping them.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Every time the sword was chopped down, it was as if a majestic giant was beating a drum made of the skin of an ancient beast, producing a heavy drum sound that shocked people's hearts and minds.
Zhao Lingxiao, who had been observing Lin Yi on the side, vaguely sensed something was wrong when Lin Yi made the first chopped move, but she did not give up observing. Until Lin Yi started to chop and made a "dong dong dong" sound, she suddenly felt that the vision in front of her eyes suddenly collapsed, and the corridor in front of her seemed to be pierced by thunder that shattered the darkness, and it fell apart on the spot!
The next moment, endless darkness began to permeate the twisted space. A terrifying figure was wandering in the darkness. Lin Yi's figure seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, leaving only an indescribable and unobservable evil outline. The outline looked like a human figure, but it didn't look like a human. It seemed that it could only be defined as a "human figure"...
The "figure" waved its arms, and every time it waved, the whole world trembled.
“Boom…”
"Boom!" The heavy pounding sound was like the heartbeat of some sleeping ancient beast. Every beat could cause reality to show signs of collapse.
“Boom…”
"Boom!"
A strong tremor spread from the abyss and continued to spread on the ground of the teaching building. The terrifying shock waves spread like invisible ripples.
Zhao Lingxiao's pupils expanded uncontrollably. The green aura was like a strange tentacle with bared fangs and claws, constantly wrapping around her body from the void...
As the ripples spread, the ground of the teaching building seemed to begin to twist and distort, and this distortion was still spreading further away!
Countless students in classroom B of the teaching building vaguely felt the shock waves transmitted from the ground beneath their feet, and strange fluctuations began to flash in their empty and dull eyes, but most of them immediately lowered their heads and continued to numbly flip through the books at hand.
The door of the office of Class 2, Group B was opened, and the homeroom teacher-040 pushed the door open and walked out.
She looked solemnly in the direction where Lin Yi was. After hesitating for a moment, she left the office. After closing the door, she immediately quickened her pace and walked towards the source of the vibration.
One of her hands quietly touched the secret pattern dagger, and the other hand was placed a few centimeters below the collarbone.
All it takes is some wind blowing through the grass and she will instantly change into her combat uniform and assume a stealth fighting stance.
At this moment, the door of the office of Class 3, Group B was opened, and a burly male teacher walked out.
As soon as he came out, he saw the homeroom teacher-040. The two looked at each other and understood the seriousness of the matter without saying anything.
"Together?" asked the male teacher.
"This pollution appeared without any warning... It's really too weird," Class Teacher 040's eyes never left the direction of the corridor bridge, "Teacher 033, please step behind me."
The head teacher-033 said seriously: "As a man, how can I let a woman stand up and..."
"Okay." Homeroom Teacher-040 interrupted him, "Be good and listen, we are still colleagues with the same identity as "homeroom teachers". You don't want me to bring up the old things in the camp, right?"
Upon hearing this, the head teacher-033's face suddenly changed, and he quickly stood up straight: "Yes, Instructor Lin, uh no, Teacher 040..."
"Shut up."
"Okay, Instructor Lin."
Class Teacher-040: “…”
Although she was speechless, she still had no time to scold the head teacher-033. She could only move forward cautiously and groped her way to the stairs.
This place is no more than ten meters away from the intersection of Building B and the corridor bridge. To the naked eye, it is still a very normal teaching building environment. The only thing wrong is that Zhao Lingxiao collapsed on the ground in front in a somewhat strange way.
The posture was roughly like a child's sleeping posture, with knees bent and tucked in front of the chest and buttocks raised high, but the details were very strange. Zhao Lingxiao's hands and spine seemed to be twisted in an inhuman way, which looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.
"That girl seems to be trapped in a distorted layer!" The head teacher-033 said in a low voice, trying to sense the changes in front of him, but the next moment he fell back two steps, leaned against the wall, and his face turned pale.
"What a terrifying depth of pollution! I almost got sucked in!"
"In broad daylight, what kind of power could distort the layers to this extent? Could it be the gray..."
Class Teacher-040 shook his head slightly and interrupted directly: "First, eliminate the units on the gray fog side."
She gently held the frame of the mirror, and the gentleness in her clear autumn eyes faded away, replaced by a cold golden glow.
The field of vision expanded, and the distorted layers and the "real picture" in front of her began to slowly emerge in her eyes.
"Ah? Why?" Homeroom Teacher-033 asked puzzledly.
"Have you given me back everything I taught you?" Homeroom Teacher-040 said with a tone of reprimand, "The three elements of layer distortion, the most important one is the polarity of pollution."
"The pollution on the gray fog side wouldn't be limited to this. There must be only one 'unit' here."
"Only one unit?!" Class teacher-033 was surprised.
"Yes." Class teacher-040 responded calmly. Her first guess was that this was the noise made by Yuan Lijian's "puppet", but when she gradually saw the truth of the layer, what she saw... was actually Lin Yi.
"Why is it him?"
"What is he doing?"
She was about to observe Lin Yi's movements more closely, but suddenly she felt a slight sense of weightlessness.
She shuddered suddenly and quickly dispelled the idea of insight.
"No! You can't look directly at it!"
"I can't even look him in the face?!"
Her brows were furrowed, her eyes full of horror.
She could vaguely see what Lin Yi was doing, but she couldn't see clearly.
"Could it be related to the thing in his hand?"
"What actually caused the distortion of the layer... was that thing in his hand?"
"Teacher 040..." At this moment, the homeroom teacher-033 asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"
Class teacher-040 bit her lower lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and uttered four words: "Don't worry about him!"
"Ah?" Homeroom Teacher-033 opened his mouth wide, "This flag is not acceptable, teacher!"
"I told you! Don't bother with him!" Class Teacher-040 gritted his teeth and said, "If it's him, you and I can only choose to believe him."
"Why?" Class Teacher-033 seemed unwilling to give in.
"Because we can't beat him." Class teacher-040's tone was somewhat resentful.
Can't beat it.
What a simple and straightforward answer, simple enough to stop a lot of nonsense.
After all, this world is based on reason, and right now, Lin Yi’s reason is the greatest.
Class Teacher-040 retracted his gaze, looked at Zhao Lingxiao deeply, then turned around and returned to the office.
"I am leaving."
"What about that girl?" asked the homeroom teacher-033, "Should we save her?"
"Class teacher's rules... [Don't be too naive at any time. Students often know what they are doing.]" Class teacher-040 glanced at him calmly and said, "I'm leaving."
Homeroom Teacher-033 hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.
If he continues to watch, he will also be at risk of being contaminated.
