Chapter 549 [At least take your bat]
Chapter 549 [At least... take your... bat...]
"I don't know..." Mao Feiyang said in a complicated tone.
No, you definitely know him, Lin Yi said in his heart.
"I really don't know him." Mao Feiyang said, and then added, "It's just... I just feel a little familiar."
"Your memory has also been modified?" Lin Yi muttered.
Mao Feiyang curled his lips: "It's just that the time has not come yet to remember, but...if I really know that tombstone, you will be in trouble again."
"No, what does your knowing me have to do with my suffering?" Lin Yi said.
Mao Feiyang said nothing.
At this moment, the old cowboy lying on the ground finally became anxious because he had not yet touched the corner of Mao Feiyang's clothes. He opened his mouth wide and made strange sounds from under his beard that were completely different from his superb bubbling spit sounds.
The sound had only one tone, like the sound of some ancient horn.
At the same time, Lin Yi seemed to have sensed something and looked suddenly towards the foggy border of the cemetery. He saw people crowding around in the fog, swaying like zombies and beginning to approach here.
The old cowboy's call seemed to attract more "layer natives".
At this moment, Lin Yi's expanding perception finally detected an extremely familiar smell...
When he sensed that "smell", the dim candlelit corridor and the rusty iron door deep in the corridor subconsciously emerged in his mind.
The iron door stood there alone, and behind the door was the little girl's bedroom.
"It's right there! Maozi, it's right there!!" Lin Yi shouted.
"I know! Lao Lin, I know!!" Mao Feiyang also shouted.
He took one last look at the tombstone, and then rushed towards the direction that Lin Yi sensed.
“Tap tap tap tap…”
Mao Feiyang's feet stepped on the wet grass, making a series of noises, and the countless figures outside the cemetery began to move following him.
The old cowboy grabbed his legs, and countless whiskers began to wriggle out from the parts that were cut by the flying hair. The whiskers slowly merged with each other, and finally the leg was repaired.
""I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome"! "
""I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome"! ! "
“「I AvgruNnen……」”
While chanting the admonition-like warning, the old cowboy slowly began to speed up and chase after Mao Feiyang, and such chanting began to be heard one after another in the fog.
Finally, the whole world was filled with overwhelming chanting.
As the chanting got louder, a strong wind began to blow in the cemetery. It was clearly a cemetery surrounded by mountains, but at this moment, the wind was filled with the stench of rotten fish and shrimp, as well as the stench of seawater with countless corpses floating on it...
Mao Feiyang rushed to the tombstone.
This tombstone is not much different from other tombstones, but when Lin Yi's eyes fell on the tombstone, he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
There was a string of ancient symbols written crookedly on the tombstone:
"PUDDING"
"Pudding?" Lin Yi was stunned. "If I'm not mistaken, this is... English?"
It's very pure English.
It is not any ancient characters, nor is it traditional Chinese characters, but very pure English.
"'Pudding'?" He was really stunned. Who would carve a food on a tombstone?
"Or maybe it's not English, it just looks like it..." Mao Feiyang said insincerely, "But, 'she' really hasn't forgotten it at all... hehe..."
"What?" Lin Yi was full of questions. "What do you mean 'she'? Maozi, are you hiding something from me?"
Mao Feiyang sighed quietly: "Don't ask, you will cry if you ask."
"How would I know if you didn't tell me...wait, I...I knew it originally?" Lin Yi suddenly realized something.
Mao Feiyang was silent: "Yes, you know, you have always known it... You will remember it later, but not now."
"Can……"
"Okay, don't worry about it, prepare to jump!" Mao Feiyang interrupted Lin Yi directly, and then slowly calmed himself down, "Don't talk yet, we are being caught in this layer, and now we need to empty ourselves to get out of here..."
After Mao Feiyang finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and then... slowly closed his eyes.
Closing your eyes is a very deadly act.
But Mao Feiyang closed his eyes.
In view of Mao Feiyang's prior statement, Lin Yi did not dare to ask more questions, nor did he dare to question Mao Feiyang's decision. He could only tell himself "Ask after the matter is over" and "Watch carefully, learn well, and practice more if you are not good at it."
Lin Yi slowly contracted the released perception and covered it around Mao Feiyang to sense the subtle changes in the layer.
Gradually, he felt that the grass under Mao Feiyang's feet began to become soft. No, not only soft, but also turned into a kind of swampy texture. Soon, the swampy texture also changed. Lin Yi felt that Mao Feiyang was standing on a huge piece of squirming meat...
"Swish, swish... swish, swish..."
The grass on the cemetery lawn grew wildly, and soon covered Mao Feiyang's body like giant seaweed. The mist turned into muddy sand that kept pouring in, and the waves were filled with cries of pain:
""I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome"! "
Pairs of twisted hands poked out from the gaps between the lush seaweed and grabbed aimlessly towards the area where Mao Feiyang was.
Mao Feiyang slowly pushed aside the seaweed in front of him and walked towards the location of the original tombstone.
However, as he pushed aside the seaweed, the cries of pain in his ears became louder and louder: "I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome!"
""I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome"! "
""I AvgruNnen..."! "
And when he pushed aside the seaweed, the disordered, chaotic, evil cries of pain seemed to be turned down with the volume button, becoming lighter at a speed visible to the naked eye until they disappeared.
But at this moment, what appeared in front of Mao Feiyang was not a tombstone, but... a dark, decayed cabin deep under the sea.
Mao Feiyang stepped over the seaweed and stepped onto the wooden planks of the cabin.
“Squeak—Gah—”
The wooden boards made a sharp and shrill sound, like the sneer of some evil witch.
"Where is this...?!" Lin Yi was shocked and frightened. This place seemed extremely similar to the hallucination he had seen before!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the faint "clang clang clang" sound of heavy iron chains being dragged on wooden boards from deep in the cabin.
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. It was this voice!
At this moment, he really saw a figure in the depths of the cabin. The figure was tall and sturdy, but the figure was blurry and unclear. However, with the heavy footsteps, the figure walked out from the shadows in the depths of the cabin little by little, and its image gradually became clearer...
It was a huge humanoid sculpture with strange lines all over its body, like traces of erosion by some evil force. However, within those traces, there was a rich golden aura. The blend of golden and evil auras made it look both sacred and evil, like some kind of hybrid form of an angel and a demon.
Behind it, the end of the fleshy spine seemed to be connected to a huge, thick iron chain. The iron chain was dragged in the heavy cabin, colliding with each other, making a "clang clang clang" sound... Lin Yi's pupils shrank fiercely: "What is that...?!"
""Quartermaster"?!"
"The figure that appeared several times in my visions... turned out to be the 'quartermaster'?!"
Lin Yi's heart was shaken. The moment he saw the "quartermaster", he felt as if he was struck by lightning.
At this moment, Mao Feiyang's voice rang in his mind: "Don't look too much... otherwise "02" will know that we found it."
"I don't want to take the balance, or I'll have to waste my energy handing it over to you..."
Mao Feiyang spoke slowly.
"Now is not the time for us to meet."
“Boom, boom, boom…”
The "quartermaster" dragged his heavy feet and moved forward in the cabin little by little.
Although the cabin was dark, it was actually not small. However, it seemed cramped and small in front of the huge "quartermaster".
“Clang, clang, clang… clang, clang…”
The iron chains collided, rubbing against each other and producing a series of sparks.
【You came……】
【You finally came……】
[I kept my promise...]
【Wait for you……】
【waiting for you……】
The "quartermaster" spoke in human language, and his deep voice made the entire cabin tremble.
"It has a soul...? It's talking to us?" Lin Yi was shocked.
"Shut up, Lao Lin! Don't pay attention to what it says! At least, not now!!" Mao Feiyang gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, "Let's go, Lao Lin, it's time to go!!"
Gray fog surged around them, and the cramped cabin gradually fell apart. This was not the collapse of the layers, but they were leaping to a deeper level...
Upon seeing this, the "Quartermaster" silently stopped and looked at Mao Feiyang who was completely shrouded and submerged in the gray fog. There was a cold golden light like the moon in his eyes.
There was a flash of humanity in those eyes.
[At least... take your... bat...]
A faint sigh was heard in the dark cabin.
[Forget it... At least... You kept your promise... and came...]
[You are finally... back...]
【store stjerner……】
【Nr den svarte mnen vissner…… kommer srgemoerne tilbake fra det uendelige dyphavet……】
……
Gray fog...
A world of twisted and broken lines...
Unknown time...
Vortex...
When Mao Feiyang jumped out of the cabin, the surroundings became a mess, and he seemed to be sinking in an Alpine puree...
Lin Yi suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "I figured it out, Maozi!"
"What did you think of?"
"That cabin!" Lin Yi said, "That rotten wooden board-like texture... I actually stepped on it at some point when I was walking through the gallery!"
"It seems that you have been summoned by that thing..."
"You mean the army..."
"Don't tell us its name for now, or 02 will know." Mao Feiyang interrupted, "Now you know why we made this deal with 02, right?"
"For countless years, the Night Watchmen have been trying to find it. It's not that the Night Watchmen can't find it, but that it doesn't want to be found by the Night Watchmen. But now it's different..."
"When you arrive, it will call you, and by then, the Night's Watch will know its location."
"Ah?" Lin Yi asked in confusion, "Isn't this the equipment library created by the "First Apostle" for the Supreme Judgment Sequence? Why can't the Night Watchmen of the Supreme Judgment Sequence find it?"
"Besides, why did it summon us?"
Mao Feiyang sneered: "Now you know that the "Supreme Judgment" is a general term for a sequence, so you should understand that everything has its opposite. Who told you that it is in the same team as the "Night Watch"? "
"What? This..." Lin Yi was shocked again, and this time he was even more confused, "If they are not from the same team, then why would the Night Watchmen look for... it?"
Mao Feiyang said slowly: "It's probably because 'brothers fight within the walls, but defend against external insults'... In front of an absolute enemy, there is nothing that cannot be shared."
"Or maybe... because it sensed our arrival at this time or at an earlier time, such as when you arrived at the gymnasium or I arrived at the art building, so it began to actively summon us."
"And when you and I both come here with the Night's Watch's 'deal', it will appear..."
Mao Feiyang said: "Who knows? You can ask it next time."
"Don't look at it as fierce, it's actually quite gentle."
"If we're not in a hurry, we can sit down and chat with it."
"Look at it...it has a lot to tell us."
Lin Yi pursed his lips and said, "Why? From your tone, it sounds like you are very familiar with it? Judging from the time, it is impossible for us to have any connection with it, right?"
Mao Feiyang said: "No... But suppose that in the future you are involved in a time vortex due to some event, and if your understanding of the time scale is different from that of the past, everything will be different..."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then continued: "Are you talking about some established fact that I'm not aware of?"
"In the future...will I fall into a time paradox?" He asked himself, and it seemed like he was asking Mao Feiyang.
Mao Feiyang did not give a direct answer, but only responded evasively: "Who knows what will happen in the future?"
"But the dream boundary... is itself an extremely dangerous proposition."
"Besides, this thing called 'time'...only when it starts to flow between your fingers, you will know whether it is a gentle trickle or an unpredictable turbulent wave..."
