Chapter 508 Time Vortex
Chapter 508 Time Vortex
Countless noises disturbed Lin Yi's thoughts. The fusion of identity information and evil chanting made him more and more irritated. He felt that the environment around him was being distorted. With the chanting of the Forest of Dead Steles, he felt that the distortion was enveloping him like a whirlpool.
In this vortex, countless strange things were floating around like ribbons. Looking through the gaps in the ribbons, he saw a twisting and wandering cobblestone road. The road meandered out of the fog, extending through the hazy fog little by little, and arrived in front of his vortex.
[My name is Lin Yi! My student ID is X0230506098! I am walking on the cobblestone road to the dormitory building...]
The evil repetition of the Forest of Dead Steles suddenly penetrated the vortex and fell into his ears.
At the same time, he discovered that the cobblestone road outside the vortex began to move like a conveyor belt. The strange changes made it difficult for him to tell whether the cobblestone road was being swallowed up by the vortex bit by bit, or whether the vortex was moving along the cobblestone road...
Finally, he saw a distorted human figure appear in the thin fog ahead. No, not just one figure, but two.
It's like one person is carrying another person forward.
“What is that…?”
He seemed to have forgotten everything, and at that moment he only wanted to look at the back of the person carrying the person.
Just as he had this thought, the vortex quickly approached the figure in front of him as if it had come alive, and suddenly broke through some invisible shackles, causing Lin Yi to accidentally bump into the figure...
That back view...
Very familiar, especially the way he was dressed, it seemed...
At this moment, Lin Yi heard the voice of the figure in front of him...
"Liangzi, Liangzi...if you can really hear me, then quickly come up with some tricks to protect yourself...while there is still time..."
The voice sounded somewhat dry and difficult, and the next moment, Lin Yi saw "that person" in front of him speaking, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of him...
He saw "him".
No, or rather, "he" saw him!
The two Lin Yi looked at each other at this time!
The pupils of "Lin Yi's Back" shrank violently, and Lin Yi was even more shocked!
At the same time, Lin Yi's eyes swept to the wrist of "Lin Yi's back", and the watch was indeed on "his" wrist, but the time on the watch was - 21:26.
“This…?! Wait, what is this…?!”
Lin Yi's heart seemed to be pulled by a pair of invisible hands.
My name is Lin Yi! My student ID is X0230506098! I am walking on the cobblestone road to the dormitory building!
This sentence once again emerged in his mind, but at this moment a strange logical chain quietly closed, making him feel an unprecedented creepy sense of terror!
He seemed to understand something!
On the evening of May 5, he and Wei Liang were returning to the dormitory building from the teaching building. On the way, Wei Liang seemed to have lost consciousness, so he carried Wei Liang on his back and rushed to the dormitory building.
On the way, they had problems with timing, and that was when he discovered that there was another person on Wei Liang's back.
And this person...
What the fuck is this him now?!
现在的！这个！5月10日，19：56分离开了B组2班的——他？！
Time is distorted!
[My name is Lin Yi! My student ID is X0230506098! I am walking on the cobblestone road to the dormitory building! ]
[My name is Lin Yi! My student number is X0230506098...]
[My name is Lin Yi! I...]
The sound of the Forest of Dead Steles continued to erode his consciousness through the vortex. The countless ribbons in the vortex were actually the countless faces of the Forest of Dead Steles!
"But..." Lin Yi seemed to have thought of some loophole, "But the time point of 5:8 on May 21th does not exist!"
"The real time should be... 20:58!"
That night, his time was stretched and he fell into some kind of disordered time dimension. In fact, that point was 20:58, and it was not 21:26 at all!
So, how did he appear in that non-existent time period?!
wrong!
Still not right!!
Time is linear, how could he appear in that time period now? !
Time warp?
Twist the chicken feathers!
The Forest of the Dead is getting close to him and opening fire. Why are you doing this for him?
Could it be possible that the Forest of Dead Steles could cause trouble on the timeline?
But...what is the connection here? Is there any logic?
And... on May 5, he clearly remembered that the thing Wei Liang was carrying on his back was not himself, but a fake classmate with a distorted face!
what is the problem?
Just as Lin Yi was thinking about this, the arm of "Lin Yi's back" became illusory and transparent.
In that transparent visual effect, another wrist with a watch, which was somewhat unreal yet somewhat real, slowly appeared. On that watch, the hands of the quartz watch were still moving regularly, and the time was - 20:58.
That’s right, this scene happened on May 5th and is now happening again. The next moment should be when “he” at that time leaves the layer and returns to this cobblestone road.
Then...what about him - what about him at 5:10 on May 19th?
Where will he go?
he does not know.
But he soon discovered that "he" at that time did not seem to wake up in time.
what's the situation?
"I'm trapped?"
Lin Yi was shocked, it wasn't like this at the beginning!
"Why is it different from my past experiences?"
At the same time, the chanting of the Forest of Dead Steles began to ring in his ears again. This voice that made him feel strange yet familiar was like it came from some extremely distant, abandoned and ruined world.
In a trance, he seemed to be able to see some distorted images. A group of ancient and strange creatures were dancing some kind of cult dance around a campfire on an abandoned island with surging waves, performing some kind of evil ritual. They sang heart-wrenching prayers that made people collapse. The prayers shuttled between dimensions, were torn apart by unknown forces, and finally mixed with the sound of the tombstone forest of the dead, turning into that kind of boring, dry, hoarse, evil, and ancient voice that could not be described in words:
【「I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome」! ! ! 】
【"I Avgr...uNnen av tKe...og mrke... jaGer forTapte... Sjeler... fanTome"! ! ! 】
(Warning: In the abyss of fog and darkness, lost souls chase after phantoms)
In the swirling light band, countless pseudo-human classmates in the Forest of Dead Steles had their bodies stretched out, swaying their heads and bodies like seaweed and a group of cobras. They sang to their heart's content in the distorted time, and the evil admonitions were guided through their throats into Lin Yi's ears.
Extremely weird, extremely manic, extremely crazy!
"Ho..."
"Ho ho ho..."
A low sound began to come from Lin Yi's throat and he felt the blood in his body boiling uncontrollably. He hunched his body like a cheetah about to attack, but he had no idea where his enemy was.
As the Forest of Dead Steles continued to chant, the "ho ho ho" in his mouth gradually began to become deeper and deeper. Blood-colored steam faintly rose from his pores, and suddenly appeared beside him like a storm...
At the same time, a ethereal and strange laughter of a little girl also appeared in his ears. "Hehe..."
There was only a simple laugh, but the clarity of the sound surpassed the prayers and chants in the Forest of the Dead.
The rising blood-colored steam suddenly stagnated, and Lin Yi's arched back froze as if it was doused with cold water.
A little girl's laughter...?!
Even if Lin Yi could ignore everything, he couldn't ignore this laughter!
This is the laughter projected by the magician!
He lowered his head to look at his left hand. As expected, the secret pattern imprinted by the magician had lit up at some point, shining brightly in the vortex. What frightened and shocked him even more was that he suddenly discovered that the Ouroboros Ring had appeared in his hand somehow!
In the left hand!!!
The laughter of the magician and the appearance of the Ouroboros Ring made his head sober up as if it had been violently immersed in ice water.
The chants and prayer instructions of the Forest of Dead Steles could no longer invade his will - just kidding, when you are facing a tiger, no matter how loudly those hounds bark at your feet, you will not care.
Those crazy voices had already made Lin Yi about to go berserk, but now he became strangely cold as ice.
He turned his wrist slightly, the dial of his watch met his sight, and his clear mind gave him new thoughts in real time.
From the moment he was attacked face-to-face by the Forest of Dead's Stele at 0 frame, his rhythm became passive. Although he had been feeling that something was wrong, he could not calm down and think about anything because the rhythm was too passive.
Until now.
"There's a problem. There's been a big problem since just now!"
“This feeling… this feeling of time being distorted after falling through the layers… it’s so wrong!”
Originally, he felt that what happened to him was a bit like something else, but he just couldn't remember it at all, until he heard the laughter from the little girl and saw the secret pattern of the magician, he suddenly realized - is this feeling the so-called "time exile"?
Although he did not experience "time exile", judging from the literal meaning, his experience may be quite similar to "time exile".
The only thing about distorted time is the chaotic and chaotic time...isn't it like a castrated version of "Time Exile"?
When this thought came to his mind, his eyes fell on the face of his watch - 19:56.
Not even a minute more!
"Still at that moment!"
Lin Yi suddenly realized that his brain, which was originally shrouded in dark clouds, seemed to be struck by lightning. Most of the darkness was torn apart, and bright light fell.
He closed his eyes in the light.
The vortex formed by the Forest of Dead Steles disappeared, and the “him” on May 5 also slowly disappeared. Before disappearing, the mark on “his” wrist that was frozen at 8:21 gradually faded and eventually became 26:20…
Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes.
In front of him was a pendulum clock on the blackboard, and the time on the clock was 19:56.
——This was the moment when he looked at the pendulum clock because of some kind of instinctive reaction before he pressed the handle and left the classroom.
Everything that happened just now was real, and time went back to this moment?
Or was it that everything that just happened was an illusion, and was "deduced" in his mind as some kind of future that has not yet happened because of the sudden burst of inspiration when he saw this moment?
As he hesitated, he was startled by the click of the door handle.
He looked over and saw something was wrong.
He remembered that he looked at the time, pressed the door handle and left the classroom, but... it seemed that he looked at the time and pressed the door handle at the same time?
The fog and cold water vapor that invaded the classroom caused him to fall through the layers without a trace and be chosen into the vortex of time?
"Bang!"
He pushed the door shut.
The mist was cut off by the door leaves, and the last phantom before it dissipated was like an illusory human face giving an evil smile.
"'My name is Lin Yi! My student number is X0230506098! I'm walking on the cobblestone road to the dormitory building...'"
Lin Yi murmured the chanting sound when the Forest of Dead Monuments started at frame 0, recalling the encounter with the Forest of Dead Monuments on May 5, and suddenly understood something.
If the “mechanism” of the Forest of Dead Steles is related to time, then shouldn’t there be some connection between the two dream-like experiences just now… ?
Cobblestone roads…?
"I'm not on the cobblestone road, I should be in the school building..."
"No, I'm in the classroom. Wait, classroom?!"
"classroom!"
A bright light suddenly flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.
"If I had just been anchoring myself, what would I have said?"
My name is Lin Yi, my student number is X0230506098, and I am in the classroom of Class 2, Group B, in the teaching building.
[I am in the classroom of Class 2, Group B, in the teaching building. ]
"The Forest of the Dead wants to anchor my location!"
"They essentially want to invade the classroom, and I am just a medium for them to invade the classroom!"
"This medium can be another experience student, a sports student, or me!"
"Anyone can be affected, but those with weaker endurance may be directly assimilated into the Forest of Dead Steles and become part of it. People like me who have stronger endurance become the medium for their infiltration..."
The Forest of the Dead was watching closely, but it was impossible for Lin Yi not to go out. In a flash, he thought of a countermeasure.
So he pressed the doorknob again, pushed open the door of the classroom, then walked out of the classroom at a very fast speed and came to the corridor.
As soon as he went out, the strong wind outside the door, accompanied by heavy rain, washed over him and almost knocked him over like broken waves.
He glanced at the doorplate and confirmed it was "Group B Class 2" before closing the door heavily.
At the same time, the cold aura of the Forest of Dead Men descended heavily upon him...
Everything that he had experienced in his dream seemed to come upon him exactly as it happened. The heads in the Forest of Dead Steles appeared around him like grapes, wrapping him up.
[My name is…]
"My name is Song Rentou, my student number is X0230503075, and I'm on my way to the cafeteria from the teaching building!" Lin Yi suddenly spoke loudly, violently interrupting the chanting of the Forest of Dead Steles.
