Chapter 479 Re-Chapter B Building, Goodbye Homeroom Teacher 040
Chapter 479 Return to Building B, Goodbye to the Homeroom Teacher-040
……
X023年5月10日，14：08，教学楼C栋，4楼。
Lin Yi seemed to be in a daze, but suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Will returns!
Lin Yi glanced at the handrail at the end of the stairwell on the 4th floor, and quickly went down the stairs on the right hand side. After reaching the 1st floor, he stepped onto the corridor bridge back to Building B without looking back.
This time, he had too many details to sort out, but Building C was not a place worth his lingering and thinking. The right thing to do was to go back to Group B, Class 2, sort out his findings, and then coordinate intelligence with the homeroom teacher - 040.
Shortly after Lin Yi left, Shan Nan also emerged from the stairwell.
Compared with before, Shan Nan suffered almost no injuries, but if Lin Yi was here, he would find that his aura was completely different from before.
I don’t know if it’s because of the ash crystals, but the originally faint blue light in Shannan’s exoskeleton armor has begun to turn dark red, as if it is exuding an endless aura of madness, and in the shadow under his feet, there seems to be floating gray granular dust.
His current state was a bit like Lin Yi who was entangled in ashes, but his exoskeleton armor began to reveal all kinds of strangeness under the blessing of the crystals.
After arriving at Building C, he had no intention of returning to Building B, but instead quietly observed the surrounding environment.
His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and as he looked at the environment of the teaching building, he became more and more manic.
"Damn, it's still raining..."
His face was extremely ugly.
……
Lin Yi, who arrived in front of the covered bridge, did not react at first to the seamless connection between the abnormal weather. It was not until the raindrops fell on his face that he belatedly noticed the change in the weather.
"Wait! It's raining here too?"
"I hope this rain has nothing to do with the rain on the 5th floor and above..."
Lin Yi's expression was slightly solemn. He had felt since morning that it was going to rain today, but he subjectively hoped that it would rain after he returned to the dormitory in the evening - this subjective idea was of course very unrealistic, but he still had to have a beautiful vision.
The problem now was that the rain came at such a coincidence that he subconsciously associated it with the "Original Ash Apostle" and those extremely burning ashes.
Indeed, he was the one behind the explosion and extreme burning of the ash, but when the "Original Ash Apostle" arrived, the development of the situation had nothing to do with him anymore.
"Never mind... Let's talk to the teacher first."
Lin Yi held his breath and ran up to the corridor bridge of the teaching building in the drizzle. The rain was not heavy now, but it was still several levels lower than the strong winds and heavy rain above the 5th floor of the teaching building. There was nothing wrong with running.
Besides, he still had a lot of things to do, such as recalling the details related to "Zhang Lingzhen". Why did Zhang Lingzhen's voice only appear for a moment and then completely disappear?
Could it be that Zhang Lingzhen's independent consciousness, which was suppressed by the "burial body" consciousness, was struggling, or... there was no such thing as independent consciousness at all?
For example, why didn't the "Original Ashbringer" invade the classroom, but just floated in the void outside the classroom, showing its so-called miracles like an illusory god?
Also, the presence of "Ashebringer·Pyro" is too cannon fodder, and it doesn't match the strength he had when he first met it. If Shan Nan can control Pyro, is there another hidden story behind this?"
There were too many details waiting for him to discover, too many doubts waiting for him to solve, so it was very unwise to stay in Building C of the teaching building to think. The best thing to do was to return to his corresponding classroom.
At the very least, he needs an environment where he can think about problems without distraction.
A safe environment.
Whether it is Wei Liang's class or the teacher's office where the head teacher-040 is, this safety effect can be provided.
The drizzle was falling lightly, and the thin mist was becoming thicker and thicker, like muddy river water constantly stirred by an invisible hand. The cold moisture pierced into the thick fog like a needle tip, and fell on Lin Yi's skin, causing waves of discomfort.
Lin Yi suddenly felt that the covered bridge beneath his feet began to shake. The covered bridge, which was supposed to have a geometric shape, somehow turned into the wooden boards of a cable bridge. As he ran, the boards moved left and right, as if they were going to throw him into the water.
water?
Lin Yi's pupils shrank and the sound of water splashing rang in his ears, like the sound of waves hitting his feet.
The source of the sound is the side of the bridge. Under abnormal weather conditions, the moss on the outside of the bridge forms a line, and the bridge becomes irregular and distorted.
A gust of wind came whistling, bringing with it droplets of water that could not be distinguished as waves or drizzle, and hit Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's body was unstable and he was almost knocked over by this blow.
He staggered to steady himself, but the sound of iron chains clanging in the wind rang in his ears again...
Chains... ?
Is it really the Iron Lock Bridge?
Of course not, because Lin Yi soon heard another call coming...
【Lin Yi...】
【Lin Yi ah Lin Yi...】
【…】
From the twisted ceiling of the covered bridge, broken sculptures hung down one after another. They smiled strangely, swayed, shook their heads and called out, as if they were calling out, or singing...
With waves and mist rolling, the covered bridge seemed to have turned into a bridge leading to an isolated island in the sea. The waves on both sides could push Lin Yi into the sea at any time.
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
14: 12.
The passage of time was so normal that it was a little abnormal, but the strangeness of the covered bridge was the most normal thing for him after experiencing countless abnormal things.
Lin Yi looked normal. He had already mastered this kind of anomaly. Even the way of anchoring was extremely simple and crude.
He frowned, and his perception tentacles spread out, directly covering the twisted bridge. Then "My World" exploded, twisting it back in his mind.
With his current computing power, if he only targets one covered bridge, then it would be a piece of cake.
He found the key corresponding points between "my world" and the real bridge, matched the two worlds, and then every step he took afterwards was counterintuitive.
He kept moving forward in the twisted corridor bridge, like a clay man without a skeleton, and every step he took was extremely weird. But even so, the wind and waves had no effect on him at all.
In less than a minute, he arrived at Building B of the teaching building.
The moment he walked out of the corridor, Lin Yi staggered a little. He felt a sense of solidity as if he had returned to the shore from a boat. Even the distortion behind him disappeared in an instant.
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
14: 13.
It took a little over a minute to cross the covered bridge, which was reasonable.
He looked back at the bridge and found that it had indeed returned to its original state. It was even possible that the bridge had never changed and everything was just a one-man show.
The environment affected his cognition, his cognition distorted the world, and the world gave him feedback... and when he passed the corridor bridge alone, from his cognition, everything returned to its original state.
All that was left was the damp clothes he was wearing, which gave him a very real feeling of discomfort.
But at this moment, the overlapping mists seemed to carry the distant nursery rhymes and the clanging of chains. Lin Yi heard the clanging of trains, and his vision flickered again. In the gray mist, the broken sculptures hung upside down by chains seemed to appear. They sang and shook their heads, and pairs of pale golden eyes in the shadows seemed to be the gaze of wolves...
['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...']
The horizons alternated between normal and abnormal, and he even saw the surging waves hitting the sides of the bridge, breaking into countless water vapors.
The other end of the covered bridge seemed to be connected to a mysterious realm.
Teaching building?
still is……
Lin Yi's pupils condensed slightly, and in the gray mist, the outline of a building was faintly visible.
What? There are still experts?!
Lin Yi was startled, and his eyes suddenly shone like stars, as if they were about to burn.
"That is……"
"Clock tower?!"
As he looked further, the lines in the mist became clearer and clearer, and finally the outline took shape, revealing a clock tower.
Lin Yi's heart contracted violently.
This is a building that does not exist at all under the normal layer of the campus - the clock tower!
And, it’s not the clock tower in the Art Building!
On the day he entered the school, he saw the shadow of the clock tower on the campus through the glass window of the blue bus. At that time, he assumed that the clock tower was part of the campus. However, after he came into contact with all the buildings that normally existed on the campus, he discovered that there was actually no clock tower on the campus.
Later he thought that the bell tower was part of the art building, but when he went to the art building in person he found that the two bell towers had completely different styles.
The clock tower in the Art Building is very old, while the one on campus has more obvious traces of modern industrialization.
And his final speculation - that the clock tower is part of the library, has never been confirmed for various reasons - who the hell can match the ivory ball with the clock tower?
...He can.
Sherlock Holmes once said that when all possibilities have been eliminated, whatever remains, no matter how outrageous, must be the truth.
So the library is just an ivory ball with a clock tower on top, right?
What kind of Digimon Unicorn is this? It can't transform into the Steel Garuru Clock Tower form...
Lin Yi was speechless for a moment, but what was happening now was more absurd than the last, and he could only speculate on some of the overly outrageous inferences.
The gray fog was still surging, mixed with a little water vapor, and hit his face.
The strange environment is still there, making it difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality.
I don't know when the covered bridge was stained with a wet lead gray color. In the flickering vision and intermittent singing, the structure of the covered bridge seemed to be still expanding and twisting, and a sticky black liquid began to seep out from the gaps in the moss, as if it had been licked by some indescribable existence.
Mist rolled in from the depths of the green forest, carrying the smell of decaying branches and leaves, and condensed into translucent tentacle-like mist on both sides of the covered bridge, sometimes curling up and sometimes expanding, like countless dormant pale arms...
Lin Yi shook his head to dispel these illusions, then walked decisively towards the direction of Class 2, Group B.
In the corridor of the classroom in Building B, some brave students were still looking at the surrounding environment curiously. The faces of those people made Lin Yi feel extremely unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but wonder if there were new people who came to experience college life today.
That clear and stupid look... doesn't look like someone who has spent a night on campus.
"What on earth are the school thinking of accepting new students at this time?"
Veins throbbed on Lin Yi's forehead, as if he had foreseen that some of these people would not be able to survive the night.
"Forget it... maybe I'm overthinking it."
Lin Yi shook his head, shaking off his saintly heart. He was just an experience student, why would he consider the school?
The school is backed by the authorities, why should he worry about it?
Take care of yourself...
The real thing is to honestly find a way to rescue Maozi, and then escape from the campus before the "original Ash Apostle" causes trouble for him.
He ignored these suspected freshmen, turned the corner, and walked along the corridor until he reached the door of the teacher's office "Group B Class 2".
“Knock, knock…”
He reached out and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"I'm Lin Yi, and my student ID number is "X0230506098." Lin Yi answered according to the format.
"Click!"
The peephole opened, and the homeroom teacher-040 looked through it with wide eyes, then quickly closed it after confirming it.
The next moment, the office door was partially opened, and the head teacher-040's white hand stretched out from it, grabbed Lin Yi's wrist, and pulled him in.
Lin Yi was startled by this sudden "enthusiasm", but before he could open his mouth, he met the extremely serious gaze of the head teacher-040.
"Teacher, you..."
"Answer me first." Lin Yi just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by the homeroom teacher-040, "What were you doing in the corridor at noon?"
"I'm building a puppet..." Lin Yi said innocently, "Didn't you tell me the method? Why are you denying it now?"
The memory was clear, and it was indeed "himself" who was constructing the puppet... Homeroom Teacher-040 felt a little moved, and breathed a sigh of relief, then asked back: "When did I tell you the method?"
"Ah? Didn't you tell me that in person? Li Huiyuan was listening beside me!" Lin Yi produced a witness.
Homeroom Teacher-040 rolled his eyes and said, "I only told you the principle of construction."
"Now that we know the principle, can't we do it?" Lin Yi was still a little confused.
Teacher 040 didn't know whether he was a fool or a wise man, so he explained helplessly: "Do you know the manufacturing principle of rockets? Can you build rockets?"
"Of course not, we also need sufficient technology and material resources..." Lin Yi suddenly paused.
Homeroom Teacher-040 looked at him with a half-smile: "So where did you get your skills? Don't tell me it's innate."
