Chapter 555: The Principal's Message
Chapter 555: The Principal's Message
"Stop, I haven't finished observing yet, stop!"
Lin Yi let out a helpless cry, and suddenly, everything around him twisted and shattered in the clouds, like a mirror being shattered in front of him.
After being broken, he did not enter the transit station of the dream, but appeared in... the library.
In front of him was a scene in the early morning of May 5th, when he was looking for books in the dream study section of the "Library-10F", and then a vision appeared while holding on to one of the bookshelves...
On that day, the library in front of him kept twisting and swaying, forming a passage like a moving ivory ball. At the end of the passage was a book called "The Lawmaker's Theory".
"Is there some mystery hidden in this scene?"
He came to the side of his "self" that day, and looked at "The Lawmaker's Sayings" along the line of sight of "himself", and his consciousness flew away immediately afterwards.
Around him, countless broken sculptures were swaying in chains, humming the strange song "Lin Yi, ah Lin Yi..." Lin Yi had already blocked out the broken sculptures, and his will was directed to the location of the book "The Law Maker"...
As his will continued to approach, he vaguely sensed another will...
That "will" was highly compatible with his soul, and it was exactly the will of "him that day"...
In the dream-building world, the will of "him on that day" also floated to the front of "The Lawmaker's Words", and next to the will of "him on that day", there was another will... That will was incomplete, but extremely magnificent, like a bright sun.
That is the will of the little girl escaping from "time exile"!
It is that kind of will that, after experiencing the passage of countless time dimensions, is still as bright and blazing as the sun. Compared with it, Lin Yi's will is like a firefly in the starry night.
The little girl guided the will of "him that day" and got closer to "The Lawmaker's Words" little by little...
The broken sculptures around him seemed to be making a noise, becoming more and more excited, and their chanting became louder and louder, but "him that day" began to wake up, and with his firm inner breath, he pulled his will back.
At that moment, Lin Yi actually sensed a vague sense of loss from the little girl's will.
【do not go……】
That soft and tender voice makes people feel heartbroken and pity, and they wish they could stay like this.
【elder brother……】
【elder brother……】
He seemed to hear something.
Is it the... "brother" in that dark nursery rhyme?
Lin Yi couldn't help but look at "The Law Maker's Sayings". When he looked over, the little girl's will wavered slightly. Then, the little girl's hollow voice rang out in Lin Yi's heart in an extremely strange way...
[Eh… there’s another one…]
Lin Yi's pupils fluctuated violently, and a strong sense of uneasiness instantly swept over him like a tide, and he also felt a touch on his arm, as if a pair of invisible, soft and boneless hands gently touched his arm...
Touched his arm.
No, it touched his arm bone.
The arm with the secret pattern branded on it.
Suddenly, the little girl, who was originally a little lost, suddenly showed some excitement in her willpower.
【I see……】
【I see……】
【I see……】
[In that case... then... I'll let you go for now...]
[But... in the future...]
[Don’t cry…]
【elder brother……】
The little girl's voice became softer and softer, but what frightened Lin Yi was that ordinary voices should fade away, but the little girl's voice faded away in his heart, becoming softer and softer...
"What do you mean... 'Don't cry'?"
Why do you say that so sadly?
Lin Yi was puzzled.
But suddenly, he thought of Mao Feiyang's words.
[“Don’t ask. You’ll cry if you ask.”]
Lin Yi's heart was shocked. Is there something going on here?
There must be something going on here!!
"'Don't cry'... what the hell just happened?"
"Could it be related to the problem with my memory being modified?"
"Because it was too hard to accept a certain sad thing, so... I changed my memory?!"
"Isn't this a form of escape?!"
“But… this is ‘my’ choice?! What on earth happened that made ‘me’ change all my memories?!”
"But isn't my memory problem due to the mission? Could it be that Master Tian is still hiding something?"
Lin Yi increasingly felt that what Mr. Tian called "frankness" was just "like frankness", frank, but not frank at all!
It's just like a thin code!
You've already gotten to the point, are you still going to leave me some blank space for my own imagination? !
As the will of "Lin Yi of that day" retreated and the will of the little girl faded, Lin Yi's will began to be unable to stay here for long, and the twisted ivory multi-layer ball channel began to recover. But at this time, he vaguely heard some calls that did not belong to the broken sculptures...
"... svarte... vissner... kommer... srgemoerne... tilbake..."
"...den svarte... vissner... tilbake fra... uendelige dyphavet..."
The sound was intermittent, but Lin Yi kept catching the syllables in it. Gradually, his lips began to move along...
He actually tried to trace the trajectory of those characters through pronunciation. The secret symbols on the inner wall of the clock tower emerged in his mind, and he searched for something over and over again like searching a dictionary.
Finally, one secret symbol after another appeared on the inner wall of the clock tower in his imagination, then flew out and gradually arranged in his mind.
Finally, a warning appeared in his mind:
"Nr den svarte mnen vissner, kommer srgemoerne tilbake fra det uendelige dyphavet."
When the commandment appeared, he understood its meaning as if by divine intervention.
"When the Black Moon fades, the mourners return from the endless sea."
This... Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "This seems to be what the broken sculptures are shouting... Oh, yes, what the broken sculptures are shouting is the Chinese that I can understand, but this sentence is the pronunciation of the commandment... It's the 'original text'..."
Lin Yi was thoughtful, trying to catch more notes, but he failed, it seemed that there was only this one sentence.
With some doubts, he slowly floated back, however, his will was unable to float to the side of "of course him".
Before he could float far, the endless bookshelf sectors around him began to twist, and a blazing heat penetrated the bookshelf area, rolling in like magma. The entire space was ignited like a piece of paper and quickly burned...
“What…what’s going on?!”
Before he could react, as the space burned, white clouds continued to seep out from the void and soon enveloped him. Then, as the white clouds twisted, the scene around him seemed to have its outer shell burned off, and began to present another scene.
classroom!
Heat wave!
Distorted space!
Violent breath!
Fanatical chanting!
“Where, where is this…?!”
Lin Yi was shocked and a little bit unbelievable, but what appeared in front of him now was - the classroom!
Abandoned classrooms above the 5th floor of the teaching building!
That’s right, you are not wrong!!
Here is
"I was the one who detonated the puppet today and tricked the Ashbringer Fireman into coming here?!"
"So the burning of space just now... was just a way of transitioning in a dream?!"
"Really... It was a false alarm for me!"
Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his attention to the surrounding environment.
His perspective slowly zoomed in. Then he was surprised to find that the entire space in the classroom was just like the several dream fragments he had encountered before, in a static space-time similar to bullet time, and everything was in an almost static state.
The chanting of the pure nocturnal species around was stretched out due to the time when the Mirror Lake was frozen, and paused on one of the syllables of "I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome".
Lin Yi noticed that the pupils of those pure nocturnal creatures had turned into prism-like shapes, and the entire world had been stretched into the shape of a Möbius strip.
Countless ashes were floating in the void outside the classroom, and in the ashes, their god seemed to have descended...
【som……】
【lyset……】
【fantmoer……】
【till……】
This time he learned his lesson and did not release his perception. Instead, he used his original vision to observe the world today.
The terrifying thing is that although the fanatical chanting of the purebred nocturnal creatures has solidified, there is another voice, with a completely different rhythm, that is permeating this storm and chanting!
The call in the void was like thousands of torn silk threads. Countless broken voices swirled in the wind formed by the ashes, drifting in the twisted layers, surrounding Lin Yi's will:
【De……som……】
【e som...jager...lyset...】
【…… i tke…… fantomer……】
Lin Yi saw it, he once again saw the arrival of the "Original Ash Apostle"!
In that twisted and disordered world, the "Original Ash Apostle" is surrounded by a spiral like the Fibonacci sequence. The flow and evolution of the vortex are completely unaffected by bullet time. It seems that the concept of "time" itself has become an absurd and ridiculous proposition in its cognition.
"What am I doing at this moment?" Lin Yi suddenly had an idea, and his vision widened a little, then he reacted, "Oh, I remember..."
At that time, he was affected by the "Original Ash Apostle" and had a hallucination. In the vision, he saw the "original apostles", and then... somehow, the secret pattern that the little girl had imprinted on his arm was triggered.
Then now...
“I…failed…”
At this moment, a human voice suddenly sounded in Lin Yi's ears.
The appearance of this figure made him shudder!
He looked around, but could only hear that echoing voice...
“I failed…I failed…”
In a trance, he seemed to hear the kind of chanting that was not sung by a pure nocturnal species, the endless murmur, passionate chanting, lengthy chatter... and in such sounds, he could vaguely hear some disordered... Chinese.
"I... am... here... look at me..."
Lin Yi seemed to realize something, and suddenly looked towards the "Original Ash Apostle" at the center of the Fibonacci sequence. He saw that the "Original Ash Apostle" was constantly blooming with one strange floral pattern full of religious colors after another.
But among them, the "Original Ashbringer" that was already crazy enough seemed to have taken on another form...
The strange flower pattern in full bloom actually outlined a blurry afterimage between distortion and disorder...
That afterimage...seems familiar!
correct!
Isn’t that the figure that appeared in the whirlpool in Tian Bufan’s perspective just now?
“Wait… So, isn’t the Fibonacci spiral the invisible vortex surrounding that figure?!”
"So 'it' is...?!"
When Lin Yi's cognition had reached this point, the figure of the "Original Ash Apostle" became clearer and clearer...
And he also began to hear the voice coming from that figure...
At first, he couldn't understand the command-like pronunciation, but when Lin Yi used the "search and translate" function that he had just learned inexplicably, he gradually understood the voice of the figure:
"Time is running out... I don't know how much information I can convey through the projection of 'Ashes'..."
"so……"
"Whatever it is..."
"I heard a little..."
"A little..."
The figure among the "Original Ash Apostle" spoke slowly, and its pronunciation sounded like the intermittent band received by a radio station with poor signal.
"I am the principal..."
"We got a breakthrough..."
"I succeeded... I found..."
"But...they..."
"I'm stuck..."
"I can see the boundaries... see the paths..."
"But...I can't come back..."
"I'll bring them back..."
"Their sacrifice... is not any living being... or... any material thing... but..."
"The times themselves..."
"Disaster...gray fog...the source..."
“Don’t save me…”
"Find my notebook... that's the key to everything..."
"notes……"
"Find it... destroy it..."
"Remember...it must be destroyed..."
"No... maybe... try to reconstruct..."
"destroy……"
"To destroy..."
"Memory...must be lost..."
"Numbers...coordinates..."
"Find... the time compass... so you won't get lost..."
"Time is not about...life...infinite..."
"...Dream..."
"That book..."
"…Reconstruct…"
"Sacrifice... is necessary..."
"Try to save ..."
"escape……"
"Escape from the campus..."
"Damn it...it's coming again...it's coming again..."
"Get lost! Don't even think about it!!"
"I... the principal... am speaking to... the gray fog world!!"
