Chapter 522 "You have the shadow of an old friend of mine..."
"What? Notes?"
"What notes?!"
Lin Yi was a little doubtful, wondering if he had heard it wrongly.
Notetaking is the key?
What notes?
What's the key?
What is unique?
and many more! !
Is the "Original Ashbringer" conveying some information to the outside world, or... to me? !
what on earth is it?
The thought of looking at the “Original Ashbringer” came to his mind again. He suddenly had a feeling that when he saw the “Original Ashbringer”, perhaps many questions would be answered!
At least, he could sense something from the fact that the current "Original Ash Apostle" did not attack him!
He then moved his palm, slowly rotating the eyeball in his palm so that it slowly faced the direction of the "Original Ash Apostle".
But suddenly, a chill ran down his spine, and he seemed to realize something, and his whole body shuddered violently!
wrong!
wrong! !
and many more!
It's deceiving me!
It's deceiving look at it!
It may not be able to approach reality, just like the situation in the layers above the 5th floor of the teaching building, it is tempting me to look at it! It wants to descend into the campus through me? !
When this thought popped up in his mind, Lin Yi finally restrained the rotation of his palm, then gritted his teeth and stared at the twisted ground as much as possible.
The voice of the "Original Ash Apostle" continued to ring, drilling into his mind like countless poisonous snakes, trying to make him let down his guard.
[Notes... are the key... are... the only clue...]
Lin Yi could still hear this voice in his mind, and this time it became much clearer, but Lin Yi didn't dare to respond to it at all.
Gradually, he felt his bones begin to make a "crunching" sound. The pressure from the "Original Ash Apostle" penetrated the layers, as if to crush his body into pieces of paper.
His will began to weaken, and what he sensed through his eyes and perception could no longer match up. He saw the distortion of the world and sensed the distortion of the layer, but both of these changes seemed to be based on a change in the original distorted reality.
At one level, three changes occurred in his mind, and all three changes were fed back into his will through their own channels. However, because of his completely different level perception, he also perceived three completely different world textures...
He began to lose his sense of gravity, and with it, his concept of "up" and "down"...
He began to lose control of his body. His limbs became uncoordinated and curled up and changed like four octopus tentacles, almost causing his cognition to collapse.
He began to perceive the outline of the only living being in the entire world. It had the outline of a human figure. This outline was like a "cognitive choice" that had penetrated countless layers, causing Lin Yi to believe that it was the outline of a "human" rather than the appearance of any other living being.
This is the "Original Ashbringer", but its humanoid outline may itself be a kind of "cognitive bias".
“咈咈咈……咈咈咈……”
The extreme "cognitive bias" began to have a strong influence on Lin Yi. As a result, he began to emit a beast-like growl from his throat, and the golden light in his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of sandpaper.
The "Original Ash Apostle" approached him little by little, as if it had been pulled out of a whirlpool, and stretched out its arms towards him, as if waiting for him to pull it.
Lin Yi seemed to have lost consciousness, and slowly stretched out the arm holding his eyeball towards the "Original Ash Apostle"...
But just when the "Original Ash Apostle" was about to touch Lin Yi, a hand suddenly grabbed Lin Yi's wrist and abruptly interrupted his movement.
Lin Yi was slightly startled: "?"
The next moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears. The voice was low and lazy, but it shocked him completely.
"Yo yo yo..."
Lin Yi's body trembled: "What is this...?!"
Before he could react, a hairy leg appeared in his sight.
Next came the Hawaiian-style big shorts and floral shirts…
The saucy store owner came to Lin Yi in slippers and considerately held an umbrella for him.
“Swish, swish, swish…swish, swish…”
The rain was pouring down and the wind was howling, but at this moment, there seemed to be silence between heaven and earth.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you looking so miserable?"
The shop owner looked at Lin Yi with a smile, bent down and took out his eyeballs from his palm.
Lin Yi tried to resist, but the store owner's actions seemed to have some kind of irresistible power. He easily opened his palm and took out his eyeball.
Lin Yi's back was covered in cold sweat, and he felt like his soul was flying away.
"Boss...you...?!" He let out a shocked sound with a trembling throat.
"Don't be nervous, little guy." The store owner pinched his eyeballs with three fingers and played with them like an antique.
When the store owner was playing with his eyeballs, Lin Yi's visual system kept feeding back some strange images. His already chaotic and hazy consciousness seemed to be sent into the clouds.
Dizziness, numbness, soreness... countless strange feelings intertwined and reflected in his perception in an instant, and he felt that his will was about to be buried.
But the store owner soon stopped playing with it, then looked down at him with a smile.
"Don't tell me, if it weren't for the smell of "ashes" on you, I almost didn't recognize you..."
The store owner loosened his grip, but the umbrella seemed to be nailed to the void and floated there.
He bent down, teased Lin Yi, and helped him up.
"How come you got yourself twisted into a knot, kid?"
As he spoke, the distorted road that had trapped Lin Yi's legs and left hand was smoothed out by the store owner, and his hands and feet were pulled out of the layer with the help of the store owner.
Then, the store owner installed his eyeballs directly into his eye sockets.
The return of his eyeballs made Lin Yi's consciousness clearer than ever before. He tried to "roll" his eyeballs and suddenly felt his will was much clearer, and he felt refreshed.
"Boss, why are you...?"
Just as Lin Yi was about to speak, the shop owner reached out and gently patted his shoulder: "Little guy, let's go back to the dormitory. This is not a battle you should participate in."
This was not the first time that Lin Yi had a conversation with the canteen owner, but this time, the canteen owner gave Lin Yi an unquestionable tone as soon as he opened his mouth. Lin Yi didn't even say the word "OK" and walked uncontrollably towards the dormitory building. The canteen owner gently pulled the hat and looked at Lin Yi's back, his eyes full of listlessness and laziness.
【...Notatet...er...nkkelen...! ! 】
The space was distorted for a moment, and the colorful "Original Ash Apostle" rushed towards Lin Yi along the fluctuations of space. The whole world seemed to be paving the way for him.
At this moment, Lin Yi, who had just walked a short distance, suddenly felt dizzy. For some reason, although he was clearly aware that he was walking forward, he found that the space in front of the dormitory had a slight distortion...
Then, a sandy texture quickly appeared in the distortion, and soon that texture turned into a granular substance, and then the outline of a human figure appeared...
Lin Yi was shocked, and couldn't figure out whether it was the "Original Ashbringer" that distorted the space, or his sense of space that was tampered with? !
Just when he was a little confused, the space in front of him began to fluctuate violently as if water waves were splashed on ice, and the particle-like human figure quickly dissipated...
"Let's go, little guy." The voice of the convenience store owner sounded behind him.
Facing the "Original Ash Apostle" who suddenly disappeared without a trace, Lin Yi's mind was full of doubts. He knew he couldn't look back, but still said: "Boss, my roommate..."
"I still have to deal with that thing just now. I can't care about your roommate's affairs..." The store owner said lazily, "Well, get out of here while I'm not frowning!"
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and rushed to the dormitory building.
The store owner looked at Lin Yi's back, then glanced at Wei Liang, who was like a walking corpse on Lin Yi's back, gently pulled his hat, and moved his gaze to a certain void beside him.
Wherever the shop owner looked, the space slightly fluctuated, and the granular matter reappeared, forming a human figure made of broken glass in front of him, silently confronting the shop owner...
"Come to think of it, you have the shadow of an old friend of mine..."
The shop owner looked at the "Original Ash Apostle" and his lazy eyes gradually became sharp...
……
On May 023, X5, at 10:21, in front of the lamppost of "Dormitory Building-23", Lin Yi, carrying Wei Liang on his back, finally arrived in front of the dormitory building.
The dormitory building shrouded in fog was clearly right in front of me, but it seemed like a building that did not belong to this world at all. The wind and rain seemed to have materialized the shape of the fog, making it look more like hideous tentacles and wriggling limbs...
Lin Yi took a deep breath and walked up the stairs with Wei Liang on his back. Only when he stepped onto the stairs and arrived in front of the elevator passage of the dormitory building did he truly breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally back to the dormitory building...
Normally it only takes 15 to 20 minutes to walk, but today it took nearly an hour longer. Fortunately, they really walked from the teaching building to the dormitory building despite the abnormal weather.
Thinking of this, it seemed that what Shan Nan boasted about returning to the dormitory on the first day was not completely impossible. Of course, Lin Yi knew that Shan Nan had been in the green forest belt, busy with his exoskeleton armor components, and had never returned to the dormitory.
Standing under the dim light in front of the dormitory building, Lin Yi was able to look at the dense rain outside the dormitory building, his eyes filled with worry.
"Wesan..."
In a trance, he heard Wei Shan's voice again, "Run, Lao Lin! Run!" He gritted his teeth and walked into the elevator with Wei Liang on his back...
……
May 023, X5, 10:21, campus, under heavy rain.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang…”
A pure white humanoid creature was running wildly in the rain, with a light band emitting sky blue light on its body. As it moved, the light band flashed like a fluorescent suit.
The humanoid creature had not run far when a heavy object fell heavily on the spot where he had been.
With a "bang", a large amount of mud splashed.
In the mud, a short and furious angel holding a long stick slowly appeared. His golden eyes slowly swept towards the direction where the humanoid creature escaped. Then he bent down to gather strength, and launched himself out like a cannonball!
"Huff, huff, huff..." The humanoid creature being chased by the angry angel was breathing heavily while running. If Lin Yi was here, he would find that this humanoid creature was none other than the mountain man he met in the teacher's office "Group B Class 2".
The humanoid creature was none other than Shan Nan in full exoskeleton armor form. It had a blue mask on its face, with Shan Nan's face appearing inside the mask.
For some reason, he was now being pursued by an angry angel.
As he ran, he would occasionally look down at the time on the pocket watch on his wrist.
His two pocket watches were embedded under the arm armor on his forearms. The arm armor itself was white and transparent, and one could easily see the time with just a light touch.
The time on these two pocket watches is 21:28 on one and 21:16 on the other.
"It's getting smaller... the direction is correct... huh, huh... it's definitely moving away..."
The mountain man kept panting, then he gathered his strength and continued running.
But this time he hadn't run far when he suddenly discovered something and slammed on the brakes.
"laugh--"
The leg armor suddenly gushed out a sky-blue airflow, using the reverse thrust to stabilize his body.
He glanced ahead in horror, feeling the pressure from the angry angel behind him, and quickly chose a new direction and fled again.
He had no intention of continuing the fight, but instead kept running towards a direction that he had calculated was far away from the campus.
There was only one thought in his mind - escape! Escape! Or fucking escape!
Not long after Shan Nan left, several angels with strange smiles flew out from where he was originally looking, and followed his position.
[Ashes...Ashes...]
On the ground, the furious angel was also pressing forward, locking onto the mountain man through the breath of ash, and tracking him non-stop.
But in fact, they might not have discovered the mountain man, but were just following the movement of the ashes.
It was unknown how long it had been escaping, but the anger on the furious angel's face was distorted to the extreme, and it suddenly threw the long stick in its hand like a javelin!
"laugh--"
The long stick tore through the storm with a sound of breaking wind and went straight to the mountain man's back.
"not good!"
Shan Nan screamed, and in an instant he felt the Grim Reaper's scythe on his neck!
