Chapter 470: Group C, Class 18, and Songs
Chapter 470: Group C, Class 18, and... Song
Even if Zhang Lingzhen was really attracted over, he would not sacrifice Tian Bufan's exploration time to launch a charge towards Zhang Lingzhen.
But what was unexpected was that Zhang Lingzhen had suddenly changed!
Just like that, he turned into the "Ashebringer" who carries the will of the "Funeral Body".
And according to the flashback clips, Zhang Lingzhen seems to have had a head-on conflict with the Ash Apostle, Fireman.
He didn't see Ash Apostle Fireman, which meant that Zhang Lingzhen was at least at that level now...
"This..." Lin Yi smacked his lips, "No wonder everyone in novels has to enter the devil's way. This devil's way ignores the foundation and the future, and the speed of improvement in return is really fast!"
Moreover, "Burying the Body" is something I really want to give up...
It seems that the plan is very ambitious.
Lin Yi felt a little depressed.
The main body has already started to consider whether to send the bone spur up...
At this moment, Tian Bufan's reminder echoed in his mind like a loud bell:
[Before you act, I'll emphasize this one last time. You use the "puppet" to attract hatred over there in Building C, and I'll act according to circumstances... You can do whatever you can, but no matter what happens to the "puppet" or what situation it encounters, the main body should not go over there, understand?]
"No matter what happens, no matter what situation you encounter, your main body will not be there!"
"Oh my god..." Lin Yi took a deep breath. Was this also within his expectations? !
"I told Mr. Tian about this matter. With his intelligence, he must have thought of this link, so he deliberately did not remind me to wear the bone spur..."
"It seems that the option of sending bone spurs is ruled out for now... The branch quest of 'dealing with Zhang Lingzhen' is not included in this operation mission."
He mused to himself.
At this moment, Zhang Lingzhen, whom Lin Yi perceived, began to move.
Like a mechanized puppet, it staggered up from the ground, put down the food it was chewing, and its pair of light golden eyes seemed to cross the space and fall on Lin Yi, no, Agui.
The next moment, an evil smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Lingzhen's mouth.
Its lips moved slightly as if they were made of sticky rice. From the way its teeth moved, Lin Yi spelled out four words:
"Thief... Damn..."
【Thief】, 【Damn it】.
Lin Yi's scalp suddenly went numb, and he finally knew the real source of that feeling of being watched!
It’s not Zhang Lingzhen, but the "burial body"!
He used the roots of the "funeral body" to construct this puppet, and it appeared in front of Zhang Lingzhen who carried the "funeral body". Isn't this a kind of in-person NTR?
It turns out that the "funeral body" can also be angry, Lin Yi thought to himself, oh no, maybe it's not anger, but... feeling insulted?
"What level are you, are you worthy of using the same material as me?"
《Hold on your waist!》
As soon as Zhang Lingzhen appeared and moved, scorching flames immediately surged around his body. Compared with the flame of the Ash Apostle, the Fire Man, this flame seemed to be more delicate.
It is worthy of being the mount of the "funeral body", it is really strong when riding in the winter!
Lin Yi suddenly thought with a sense of evil humor that among Shan Nan's "vehicle", the "Ashemer Apostle·Fireman", "Zangti's" "vehicle", the "Ashemer Apostle·Zhang Lingzhen", and his "vehicle", the "Ashemer Apostle·Agui", Shan Nan's was the lowest grade.
After all, the material used is a pseudo-human sculpture, so its "origin" alone is one level lower than theirs, and the "driving" of the "Ashes Apostle·Fire Man" is entirely based on the body's instincts... Naturally, it is not of the same level.
"etc!"
While Lin Yi was amazed, he suddenly realized something - Zhang Lingzhen seemed to be heading towards him?
"Hiss...it just came here so gracefully?" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. It locked onto my position?
He suddenly remembered that all the extraordinary creatures on campus had a basic logic - [I see you]: once you stare at something, it will be noticed in return.
And lock...? Void search!
One of the characteristics of pseudo-human sculptures, nocturnal species seem to have the same logic!
But precisely because he has both, he tends to forget them over time.
First of all, the more accustomed you are to something, the more you will subconsciously ignore it.
Secondly, it was because the nocturnal creatures could no longer pose any threat to him.
When a whole group of Muggles are in front of you, you won’t care whether their claws are still sharp.
"That's not right! Speaking of which... it seems that I wasn't the one staring at Zhang Lingzhen. It was Zhang Lingzhen who was staring at me first, and then I caught its attention!"
"Oh my god, after all this speculation, the No-Maj with blunt claws turned out to be me?"
Lin Yi suddenly felt like a clown who had gone against the will of Heaven, but the above complaint only flashed through his mind for a moment. He was unsure of Zhang Lingzhen's speed in this state, so he quickly calmed down and ran towards Class 18, Group C as planned.
Just as Zhang Lingzhen was about to leave, in a corner of Building B, the fire man who was constantly absorbing the ashes falling from the air seemed to sense something and murmured, "It's moving... I should move too..."
If you look closely, you will find that the fire man's body is not complete at this moment. There is a huge gap on its hand, as if a piece of it was bitten off by some wild beast.
Where the gap was, there was even a sticky substance like lava flowing, dripping down from time to time.
When the liquid dripped, the extraordinary properties in it disappeared quickly as if evaporating. By the time it dripped onto the ground, it had quickly solidified and turned into a coin-sized piece of white poop.
……
X023年5月10日，13:33，教学楼C栋8楼。
The closer to the top of the floor, the thicker the fog became. In the gloomy sky, scattered ashes and debris were floating like goose feathers. These things were not found in the lower areas, but even so, they did not have much impact on Agui's actions.
The factor that really influenced Agui's actions was actually... a certain kind of singing.
This kind of singing sounded like the sound released by the broadcasting system that did not exist in the teaching building. It was very light and soft, just like the BGM that starts to appear in the background when switching maps in a game. As soon as he stepped into the corridor in front of the classroom, that sound began to appear.
This definitely couldn't be a broadcasting system, it could only be an ancient and cult song floating from the layers.
The distance from the stairs to Class 18, Group C was very short, and Lin Yi controlled Agui to arrive there effortlessly.
I don’t know if it’s because of the pulling of the mucus in the stairwell or because of the environment, but when Agui was here, his physical functions improved significantly, and he no longer felt fuzzy and stuck when moving.
However, that cult song seemed to have some kind of magical power, which made Lin Yi feel that the ashes in Agui's body were becoming restless uncontrollably.
He had heard songs coming from the depths of the sea, as distant as the songs sung by sirens, intermittent and floating, and finally reached his ears.
But the sound here was continuous and soft, as if it had always been there, and was only vaguely caught by Lin Yi at this moment.
The door of Class 18 of Group C was closed, but Lin Yi felt that the singing sounded like it came from the classroom...
He controlled Agui's hand to grab the door handle, then pressed it lightly.
“Crack!”
The door handle was pushed down.
Then push.
"squeak--"
The door of the classroom was pushed open, and the properties of the door seemed unable to stop Lin Yi who was possessed by Agui.
The moment the door opened, the singing became louder, but still not loud enough.
Lin Yi didn't hesitate, pushed the door open, and then closed it.
He knew that Zhang Lingzhen was in a similar situation to him and could definitely push open this door. What he had to do was to accumulate a big wave here, and then let Zhang Lingzhen's arrival detonate the ashes he had accumulated.
But now, he seems to be facing a completely new situation...
The source of that singing...seems to be right here!
It’s in Class 18, Group C!
The interior of the classroom of Class 18 in Group C was in the same state of disrepair as those other tiered classrooms. The bookshelves were tilted, the podium was covered with dust, and the folding tables and chairs on the stairs were also old and dilapidated.
Lin Yi frowned slightly - of course this did not change anything in Agui.
Agui looked like he was standing there like a stone, admiring the butterfly that was hovering in front of him like a fool.
"I understand..." Lin Yi thought of the fact that this classroom had been attacked during the gray fog invasion, and the window glass at the back was shattered!
His perception swept out, and he indeed caught the wind escaping from the back row of the classroom, but the wind did not seem to be very strong.
At least, not as big as other places.
But as his perception spread, he discovered that the closer he got to the back of the classroom, the denser the grid-like lines that should have been evenly distributed in the space became. This phenomenon was like that caused by "gravity" in physics.
The space and layers over there... seem to be some kind of distortion!
Go take a look? An idea popped up in Lin Yi's mind.
Somehow, he felt that this was something that Master Tian wanted him to get in touch with...
"Mr. Tian has been here before and escaped unscathed... I should be able to do it too, right?"
He hesitated for a moment and made a quick decision.
"Well... let's do what we need to do first, and then we'll go over there and take a look."
He never forgot why he came here.
Just because Master Tian was able to escape unscathed doesn't mean he can always escape unscathed. What if he steps into a trap and dies when the thunderbolt approaches him? The damage to his puppet will be minor, but Master Tian will be in trouble.
He then came to the center of the classroom and began to absorb all the extraordinary substances remaining in the classroom like a whirlpool.
He wanted to detonate the ashes, but he couldn't just detonate the ashes. The more extraordinary substances there were, the more powerful the effect would naturally be.
While attracting extraordinary matter, he tried to expand his perception, hoping to obtain as much information about the abandoned classroom as possible.
Suddenly, he discovered some spiritual crystals on the stairs of the classroom, like salt precipitated from sea water, but when he carefully sensed it, he found that it was not salt, but... ashes!
It looked like the ashes crystals that the fanatics risked their lives to collect were ground into fine sand.
This is pure ash. Perhaps this is the ash that Maozi stepped on... This guess emerged in Lin Yi's mind.
And this concentration... perhaps it came in from the cracked window, then was precipitated little by little, and finally fell on the steps?
Dead things are not ignited by ashes, but can instead carry ashes.
Of course, this kind of "bearing" can be described nicely as bearing, but to put it bluntly, it is conservative.
The perception continued to extend, and when it was about to touch the ceiling, a tiny sound suddenly reached Lin Yi's ears...
“Swish, swish—swish—”
It's the sound of chains swaying in the wind...
"This sound... is it them?"
As if to confirm Lin Yi's reaction, ethereal sounds of laughter began to come from the ceiling.
Those broken sculptures hung upside down from the ceiling with iron chains gradually replaced the discarded incandescent lamps in the distorted layers and appeared in Lin Yi's perception.
【Lin Yi is here...】
[He is coming...]
【Ha ha ha ha……】
It was clearly Agui, but those broken sculptures seemed to have flaming eyes and golden pupils, and they called Lin Yi's name right away.
"Why was it discovered?"
"Is it a coincidence?! Or is it because...'me'?"
Before this, even though Lin Yi heard the calling voice many times, he did not feel scared. But this time, he began to doubt the established facts.
If his perception was not captured in reverse to determine his identity, then the only explanation is that he is the only one who can perceive the countless broken sculptures stuck in the distorted layer!
The moment he had this guess, Lin Yi felt as if he had been thrown into icy cold water, chilling from head to toe...
【Take us away! 】
【Take us away! 】
[The time has come... You said so! ]
[You have arrived as promised...]
One broken sculpture after another was making a noise over there, with weird smiles on their hideous faces. Countless voices from near and far blended together, like some kind of evil bewitching voice.
At this moment, the distant singing voice suddenly became louder and even intertwined with the calls of the broken puppets.
I don’t know which broken puppet spoke first, but it sang in a cult and lengthy tone, accompanied by the distant song...
['Lin Yi, Lin Yi... where are you going...']
Then, some of the broken sculptures froze for a moment, but some quickly reacted and began to hum along...
['Lin Yi, Lin Yi... where are you going to escape to...']
Gradually, all the broken statues began to sing along:
['Lin Yi, Lin Yi... where are you going...']
['Lin Yi, Lin Yi... Where can you go...']
['Come back, come back...']
['I'll wait for you in the wilderness...']
['You know my body and name...']
['You know my power and authority...']
['Lin Yi ah... Lin Yi...']
['Fate is like the Ouroboros loop... it goes around and around and back to the starting point...']
['Lin Yi ah... Lin Yi...']
['When the Black Moon Fades...']
['Sing my name loudly...']
['Lin Yi, Lin Yi...']
['Lin Yi, Lin Yi...']
