Chapter 469 [You Can't Get Rid of It After All]
Chapter 469 [You can’t get rid of it after all…]
Lin Yi actually sensed the same breath as "ashes" from this mucus!
He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that all the nocturnal species here were melted into ashes, and then fried in a pan, collecting the juice... ?
Otherwise, why would the slime be so thick?
"What on earth happened up there?"
"No, we can't delay any longer!"
The moment he sensed the scent of ashes, Lin Yi knew that he had to use extraordinary means, so he directly guided Agui to forcibly absorb the remaining ashes in the mucus, and controlled Agui to move upstairs.
But he hadn't taken a few steps when he felt an indescribable strong resistance in this layer, like soft rubber preventing him from moving forward.
The surrounding space seemed to soften and completely wrapped around Agui's body. For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether it was space or mucus.
Lin Yi didn't care about anything else and just controlled Agui to absorb the ashes in the mucus and continued to advance towards the 5th floor of the teaching building.
I don't know how long it took, maybe three to five minutes, or maybe more than ten minutes. The space on the fifth floor of the teaching building was slightly trembling, and a fierce red hand broke through the space, followed by a head, and then the upper body...
Agui was like a man who fell into a quagmire and then pulled himself out, except that the quagmire was now vertical, and until he was completely out, the mucus stuck to his body like rice cakes, pulling out long strips.
Agui tore off the slimy tapes and then silently observed the environment here.
At the same time, Lin Yi's perception slowly radiated outwards with Agui as the center.
Upon investigation, Lin Yi immediately sensed the burning atmosphere coming from Building B of the teaching building.
“That’s…?!”
Lin Yi controlled Agui and quickly rushed to the corridor bridge connecting Building C and Building B.
Agui's eyes are fake, so Lin Yi can only use his perception to observe everything around him. In his eyes, the world is formed by the interweaving of countless grid lines. Countless auras fill the grids, embellishing the world bit by bit.
Through perception, he discovered that on the side of the corridor bridge close to Building B, the wall seemed to have been melted by the high temperature to form countless honeycomb-shaped holes. Some of the holes still had some liquid flowing down, but the liquid had now solidified and turned into solid water droplet-like substances.
There were some charred corpses near the covered bridge. Those corpses were badly broken and the ash crystals inside seemed to have been hollowed out.
The whole world over there seemed like the ancient city of Pompeii after a volcanic eruption, filled with hellish doomsday scenes.
"That's strange... When did those fanatics die?"
"Could it be that the guy failed to collect the ashes, so he sent another group of fanatics as cannon fodder as sacrifices?"
When the ashes fell, some fanatics were indeed killed by the weird art teacher as sacrifices to the ashes, but he had almost stolen all the "fruits", and this batch was obviously a new batch of deaths.
But even so, what about the charred walls and the world that was almost burned by flames?
"Could it be that the fire man has undergone some kind of transformation again?"
Lin Yi guessed for a moment, and at this moment, Agui's body shook, and a stream of hot air was faintly surging in his pores.
"Oh no! I absorbed too much ashes when I passed through the layers. I'm going to burn!"
When Lin Yi was constructing this puppet, he put in enough "bait" to ensure that it could attract fanatics and "Ashes Apostle·Fire Man". Except for the bones, the muscle fibers of the whole body were infused with ashes to the greatest extent.
But the already saturated container, after such a huge "drinking spree" in the stairwell, is now naturally on the verge of exploding.
He then decisively gave up observing and controlled Agui to return to the stairwell and climb to a higher floor.
Just as he was going upstairs, a strange wind seemed to blow through the stairwell, gently calling his name in his ear:
[Lin Yi ah... Lin Yi...]
Agui's movements suddenly stopped, and Lin Yi, who was controlling Agui, felt a tremor in his heart.
"Why is this voice calling my name?"
【Lin Yi ah Lin Yi...】
【Lin Yi ah Lin Yi...】
The layers of the stairwell seemed to be wriggling, and the steps under Agui's feet became crooked.
But such a sense of distortion cannot have any effective impact on Lin Yi today - because he now understands the world not through feedback from his senses, but through perception.
The grid formed by the lines kept twisting, but Agui was still able to step on the grid accurately.
Even if it stepped out, its entire body would undergo strange changes.
【Lin Yi ah Lin Yi...】
[You can’t get rid of it after all…]
The wall powder in the stairwell began to wriggle strangely, and the twisting trajectory seemed to seal countless evil faces in the wall.
Some of them were laughing ugly, some were crying abstractly, and some were laughing weirdly.
The countless voices were ethereal and quiet, like they were singing an ancient song in some prayer language, but the song was intermittent and unclear, and it seemed that there were only a few words. But gradually, more voices began to reach Lin Yi's ears...
【Fate...】
[Ouroboros…]
【……ring……】
【starting point……】
【Lin Yi ah Lin Yi...】
[…Where are you going…]
【Lin Yi ah Lin Yi...】
[…Where can you go…]
[Lin Yi ah... Lin Yi...]
The devilish sound pierced his ears, and it felt like his brain was being stirred. Agui had no breath, but with Lin Yi's help, he still made heavy breathing sounds.
The heart in its chest began to beat "thump thump", and the ashes flowing in its blood vessels became more and more turbulent. The original clusters of small flames seemed to be ignited and began to fan into a scorching flame...
"Too noisy..." Lin Yi muttered, gritting his teeth, his head was full. "De som..."
He spoke slowly...
"...jager lyset..."
"Fantomer..."
He hummed an obscure scale. He had important things to do and didn't want to waste time here.
So after he simply cleared his throat with the pronunciation of the commandment, he slowly uttered a certain commandment through Agui's mouth -
"Those who chase light through the fog will eventually become illusions."
"De som——jager lyset—— i——tke blir til slutt—— fantomer"! ! ! "
As soon as the command was issued, it was like a strong wind blowing away the dust. The noisy and piercing demonic sounds around suddenly quieted down, and the distorted floor also recovered.
Lin Yi shook Agui's head lightly, then patted his skull like an old TV with no signal, then walked up and climbed to the 8th floor of Building C in one breath.
By the time he arrived at the 8th floor of Building C, Agui's skin made of extraordinary material had become crystal clear and pink and tender, and the flames flowing in the blood vessels under the skin seemed to have turned into a lava-like substance.
Lin Yi briefly felt Agui's condition and then walked out of the stairwell.
"It's almost time to detonate..."
He quickened his pace and rushed to Class 18, Group C, which was the location he and Tian Bufan had agreed to lure the enemy.
But as soon as he arrived near the corridor, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
As if out of some kind of induction, he subconsciously developed a feeling of being spied on, as if his arrival had attracted the attention of a certain unit, and that unit - seemed to be in Building B of the teaching building!
Anyway, he was about to have a big show, and this wasn't his real body, so he looked towards Building B fearlessly...
The perceptual feedback of this layer is exactly the opposite of the visual perceptual feedback of the 4th floor and below. In the area on the 4th floor and below the teaching building, under normal circumstances, anyone's perception of the areas above the 5th floor is illusory, and there is no way to see the areas above the th floor unless there are hallucinations in abnormal weather.
When looking down from the fifth floor of the teaching building and above, all you see and perceive is a foggy and illusory scene.
Not only that, when Lin Yi's perception extended out of the fence of the corridor of the teaching building and probed into the void, the information fed back by the perception was just a foggy environment. There was not even fog. The whole world was nothingness, and there were some mysterious, unknown folds.
Like ripples in the void, or like the breath of some non-existent mysterious creature, the ripples are outlined in the layer.
If you want to perceive other buildings, you can only use the existing channels in the layer, such as the covered bridge.
When Lin Yi followed his induction and looked towards Teaching Building B, his perception naturally spread there.
As his perception spread, he captured a large amount of information elements, which were then continuously deduced in his mind, reproducing certain things that had already happened like a clairvoyance. These things appeared before his eyes without any warning in the form of a few flashing fragments.
In one of the clips, he seemed to see a slender figure moving around in an inhuman manner at an astonishing speed.
In another clip, he saw the figure of the Ash Apostle Fireman again. It had entered a state of complete combustion. It even seemed to be floating, constantly releasing flames like an elemental body. The hellish burning ruins on the wall seemed to be its work...
There was also a clip where a large number of fanatics were struggling in the flames. They were howling in pain, their hands were fiercely grasping at their bodies, their fingertips were buried in the flesh...
"There was a big battle over there?!"
Lin Yi was extremely shocked.
"In just one meal, Building B has become like that?"
Everything was fine before he left, but now it's like this when he comes back from work. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?
Is it really just a coincidence?
Who is that figure?
Why does it feel so familiar?
Perhaps out of some subconscious desire to reverse the feeling of being spied on, he stayed here for a while longer, sensing the tentacles probing forward frantically.
After these days of active and passive training, his "values" in all aspects have been improved and strengthened. Now when he releases his perception, he will not be exhausted physically and mentally like the first time he used "Minecraft" and only extend a little distance.
Of course, the main focus right now is not on promoting "Minecraft".
Using a skill like "Minecraft" that requires vast amounts of computing power is really a test of one's mental and spiritual strength.
Finally, a blurry fragment appeared in front of his eyes again. In that fragment, a slender figure seemed to be gnawing on something, but when it was halfway through, it suddenly turned its head and looked towards him.
It was the moment he looked over that gave him the feeling of being peeped at, and now the perception tentacles that were spreading over just happened to collide with it.
The moment he saw that figure, Lin Yi was deeply shocked.
"Why is it this?!"
Zhang Lingzhen!
That slim figure turned out to be Zhang Lingzhen!
"What's going on? What on earth happened?!"
Just by walking back and forth to the cafeteria, Zhang Lingzhen became a guy who could fight head-on against the Ashbringer, Fireman?
Is it such a big improvement?
Hey, someone is cheating!
But maybe…
"Perhaps it's not cheating, but the will of the 'Zangti' has awakened and taken over her body?"
The "Zangti" can absorb ashes, and has been trying to break free from the canteen's containment and return to the art building. After Zhang Lingzhen devoured part of the "Zangti"'s body, she became the shadow clone of the "Zangti"?
Lin Yi suddenly had an idea. The relationship between Zhang Lingzhen and the "funeral body" might be similar to the relationship between Lao Mo and the cafeteria to some extent - no, Lao Mo and the cafeteria coexist, but if you look closely, the difference is quite big.
Perhaps, it is more like his relationship with Agui?
Don't say it, really don't say it!
It seems to be this relationship!
The process of Zhang Lingzhen gnawing on the torso of the "Zangti" may not be an intentional act of the "Zangti". In fact, the purpose is to allow the flesh and blood to merge with Zhang Lingzhen and transform it into a "puppet" for it to control.
In essence, it is the same logic as him using the "roots" which are part of the "funeral body" to construct a "puppet".
The only difference is that the will has changed from "Zangti" to Lin Yi.
"Oh no!" He suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but slap his thigh, "Oh no, I forgot to bring my equipment!"
"Oh, what a coincidence!"
It's really unfortunate, after all, who could have thought of this? !
Agui is a disposable consumable, and that bone spur is almost a disposable consumable as well, but Agui is clearly consumable this time, while the bone spur is obviously not.
It is logical and reasonable for such a powerful weapon to be kept on the original body where it will be more useful.
Moreover, Agui's purpose of coming here was to attract all abnormal units in the teaching building area after igniting the ashes, and then buy time for Tian Bufan to explore Building A of the teaching building.
His main purpose this time was to taunt the group and then move around, rather than fight.
