Chapter 480 What is she afraid of?
"I..." Lin Yi opened his mouth, unable to refute for a moment, and could only shrug and say, "You may not believe it, but I seem to have found some skills, and when I got to that step, I could do it naturally..."
"So you're saying... you picked out the best components from that pile of 'materials' based on your feelings, then eliminated the useless parts, and finally built it into the basic framework of the 'puppet'?"
"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded.
"...Then, you covered it with flesh and blood to complete the body of the "puppet"? "
"Yeah." Lin Yi continued to nod.
"And then you used the extraordinary substance as a glue to lubricate the whole thing?"
"Hmm... no, no, adhesive is actually needed in every step, just like glue is needed to build Gundam." When it came to the last step, Lin Yi shook his head to deny the guess of the homeroom teacher-040.
"..." Class teacher-040 paused for a moment, then curled her red lips and said, "Do you think I believe that you are gifted and can make a "puppet" by hand just by listening to me explain the rough principles once, or do you think I believe that you are Qin Shi Huang?"
In fact, I must have found some memory fragments... Lin Yi said in his heart, but he just kept using "I did it intuitively" to excuse himself: "I just did it according to the method of assembling Gundam... Really, if you don't believe me, I can assemble it for you to see - if you can get some materials."
Class teacher-040 crossed his arms over his chest and sneered, "Your abacus beads have all rolled onto my face, and you still want me to get the materials for you? You wish!"
"I just want to prove it to myself." Lin Yi argued, "If you don't believe me, I can swear an oath to keep my good brother single for 20 years."
The head teacher was speechless and dropped the subject. She originally really wanted to get to the bottom of it, but everyone has his own secrets. If Lin Yi didn't tell her the first time she asked, then she should have known that no matter it was Lin Yi's secret or he really couldn't tell her, she shouldn't have continued to ask.
Although, when Lin Yi was chopping the spine of the "root", he displayed a certain terrifying dark and evil aura, and an indescribable and unobservable evil weird shadow appeared around him, but... secrets are secrets, and as an ally, you need to keep a distance between yourself and Lin Yi at all times.
"Can you tell me... what happened after you built the puppet?" Class Teacher-040 found a new topic, "Where did the puppet go? Are you looking for me because of these issues?"
The head teacher-040 was quick-witted and guessed roughly what was going on at once. Of course, apart from this, she really couldn't think of why Lin Yi took the initiative to knock on the door.
Lin Yi nodded: "I took Agui, the "puppet", to the area above the 5th floor again."
The head teacher-040 thought to himself that you are quite cautious and even gave the puppet a name.
But she couldn't imagine that someone who knew how to overwrite the name of the "puppet" would not know how the puppet was constructed, and how to get to the fifth floor or above...
Lin Yi is full of contradictions. You may say he is powerful, but he doesn't even have a lot of basic knowledge of mysticism. But you may say he is a novice, but he can make a "puppet" for you by hand just by knowing a principle described verbally, which even the official cannot mass-produce.
This kind of contradictory feeling is like Ichiraku who can only make ramen for hundreds of episodes in Naruto Shippuden, but suddenly stands up when Pein is eating Spicy Tensai, suppresses Chibaku Tensei with one hand, and then says helplessly, "Watch out for Nagato boy, this is how real power is used..."
abstract.
God damn abstract.
"I saw Zhang Lingzhen... She was one of the people who entered the school with me but was deceived by the fanatical female teacher. Her body was also transformed and she became an 'Apostle of Ashes'..."
"and……"
Lin Yi told the story slowly and leisurely.
"Then the 'Original Ashangel', which is the 'Angel' that Teacher 039 called an 'Ashener', appeared... Oh, this name was given by the store owner, so let's call it that..."
"Later, the puppet built by Shan Nan was also attracted here... The strange thing is that the fire man was burned to ashes before he even got close to us. There are some doubts about this that I still haven't figured out..."
"Then there's the 'Original Ash Apostle'... It absorbed a large amount of ashes, causing the entire layer to fluctuate violently, and a large number of nocturnal creatures and Laughing Angels were attracted to it..."
The reason for being attracted was that he detonated the ashes, but he modified it a bit and attributed all the "credit" to the "original Ash Apostle", hiding his achievements and fame.
"Then……"
"In the end... like this... Aba Aba..."
"…Then, Agui and Zhang Lingzhen were also burned to ashes. My will sneaked into the layers and returned to my original body."
"It's not you, wait a minute...?!" Class teacher-040 suddenly heard some key points.
Lin Yi looked at her with some confusion.
But she asked in a very serious tone, "You mean... you used your will to control the puppet, crossed the layers, and entered the area above the 5th floor... Then, after the puppet was burned, your will was able to escape back through the cracks in the layers along the original path?"
The more the head teacher-040 spoke, the more dreamy it seemed, and the look he gave Lin Yi was less and less like he was looking at a "person".
"Uh...didn't I explain it clearly just now?" Lin Yi was startled, then realized that he didn't seem to have explained it clearly, so he explained, "The places above the 5th floor are so dangerous, so the puppet must have been sent alone. If I had just followed him, why didn't I go up myself? If a person and a puppet go together, won't they die together?"
Lin Yi's expression, which showed "this behavior couldn't be more normal", was almost as if "Teacher, are you stupid?" was written all over his face.
But the head teacher-040 didn't feel that he was despised at all.
How can a normal person leave his body and control a "puppet"? Are you still a human being?
The speechlessness flashed through his mind, and the head teacher-040 didn't even have time to take care of it.
Because what she is facing at this moment is a "mysterious humanoid creature" who can jump through layers by will. He has lust and emotions that are absolutely human, but also self-healing and will that are completely non-human. These absolutely contradictory things are perfectly combined together...
It's really weird.
She gradually realized that her ally, this guy named "Lin Yi", no matter how well he pretended, was actually a weird thing, a most "supernatural" mysterious creature.
When she realized this, she suddenly felt that the light in the office was swaying like a candle in the wind, and something seemed to be coming out of her shadow...
There were faint sounds of wind in her ears, humming a melody she didn't know... And the shadow behind Lin Yi in front of her suddenly squirmed, splitting into countless black tentacles, like a demon fox, like an octopus, and like the shadow of an "angel" submerged in the black wave...
The ashes floated on Lin Yi's shadow like particles of dust, without invading the surrounding space, but blocking the invasion of all external forces.
And in the shadow beneath the ashes, the angel lowered his head and revealed an evil smile...
Under the uniform of Class Teacher-040, a seemingly invisible combat uniform quietly emerged.
With the appearance of the combat suit, the will of the class teacher-040 became much clearer, and the fantasies in the office also dissipated a lot.
"Teacher...?" Lin Yi stretched out his hand and waved in front of the head teacher-040. Was the head teacher-040 distracted just now?
He always felt that the head teacher-040 exuded a cold aura, and even his skin had a faint bluish-gray texture, but for some reason, that texture quickly disappeared.
"Is it because of that 'uniform'?" Lin Yi looked towards the collar of the homeroom teacher-040 and noticed the combat uniform that had covered his collarbone.
Homeroom teacher-040 quickly recovered: "Ah, yes! I just thought of something... Please continue."
"I told you, I escaped from the gap between the layers..." Lin Yi felt a little confused. Why did Teacher 040 seem a little uneasy?
Everybody is in the office, what is she afraid of?
Even if she was scared, he was still there!
What's there to be afraid of?
But... Homeroom Teacher-040 seems to be watching...
"Me?" Lin Yi was stunned, then he touched his face subconsciously.
It has a nose, eyes, and a mouth...
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the homeroom teacher-040 would see a "faceless" him, but now that everything was normal, what was there to be afraid of?
Wait... isn't it abnormal for him to have such thoughts?
Lin Yi felt that his brain had become a little neurotic, and he glanced at his watch.
14: 20.
First of all, make sure the time is right, this is really something that is happening...
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't say anything, Class Teacher 040 asked the question he wanted to know the most: "Have you ever looked directly at the 'Original Ash Apostle' you mentioned?"
Lin Yi felt that the tone of the homeroom teacher-040 was a little strange, but he still said frankly: "We stared at each other for a while, and then I sank... If it wasn't for coincidence, I might have confessed there on the spot."
He was talking about his part of the will, but the focus of Homeroom Teacher-040 was obviously not on that.
She stared blankly at Lin Yi who had an innocent face. She wanted to grab his collar and ask him, "You mean, you made eye contact with the 'Original Ash Apostle' and then just sank, and even managed to survive on your own after sinking?"
"Any questions?" Lin Yi couldn't help but look up and down at the head teacher in front of him.
Long straight black hair, black stockings and high heels, she looks both elegant and gentle... She is indeed the head teacher "Lin Shiling" with the temperament of the big sister next door in normal times, but why has her mental state changed after just a few hours of not seeing her?
Homeroom Teacher-040 pursed her lips and asked: "When you looked directly at 'Him', did you sense anything?"
Lin Yi shook his head slightly: "It's hard to explain the feeling... I saw its appearance at first, which was a human-shaped outline made of broken glass, but soon, the materialized ashes and extraordinary power formed a vortex around it..."
"Then I couldn't see clearly. As darkness appeared, I felt like I was constantly shuttling back and forth in a tunnel without gravity. I couldn't tell whether I was falling or moving quickly in a certain direction. All I could see were a series of blurry, flickering images..."
"I can't see clearly what's in the painting." He still concealed the secret that he had seen the "Master Craftsman".
Homeroom Teacher-040 narrowed his eyes, thinking: "It is indescribable... It is inexpressible... It is indeed like a miraculous scene in which 'He' was born when he called..."
"'Born'? Wait, the ta you're talking about is not the inhuman 'it', but the 'he' who is endowed with divinity?!" Lin Yi suddenly realized something, "What did I overlook?"
Homeroom Teacher-040 shook his head and said, "You didn't overlook anything. I was careless before... And in the school district, the strength of 'Him' is no different from that of a god for ordinary people..."
"But from what you said, after He appeared, He did nothing?"
Lin Yi confirmed: "It just stayed in the void outside the classroom, spreading ashes and supernatural power through the cracks in the window, and didn't even enter the classroom."
"Not entering the classroom..." Homeroom Teacher-040 tapped the tabletop with her green index finger and thought for a moment, "Not entering the classroom... is very suspicious."
"According to what you said, He was just absorbing the power of the ashes and the supernatural power... and He was not there at all, but was attracted there by something."
When she said this, she couldn't help but look at Lin Yi with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.
Lin Yi touched his nose and didn't respond.
Teacher-040 continued, "From the previous behavior of the 'Original Ash Apostle', He has the overwhelming power to deal with you. Is it true that He stopped just because the Laughing Angels and the Night Walkers worship Him devoutly?"
"Would you put down the water you were about to throw because an ant was bowing down to you?"
"I'm sure not..."
"So it's not that He didn't take action. He did take action, but it wasn't enough to kill you. Even though the area above the fifth floor of the teaching building has fallen into the cracks of the layer, from the perspective of the campus builders, it still belongs to the category of 'buildings', and 'buildings' have shelter properties."
"The classroom window is broken, but that is on the physical level. On the logical level, its effect still exists... The closer the existence is to the rules, the greater the constraints it is subject to the rules themselves! The logic here is the same as that a non-existent door also has 'door attributes'."
Lin Yi was thoughtful, and felt that what the head teacher-040 said was biased: "No... I don't think it's right."
