Chapter 305: Shipwreck, Castle, Sea, and Night Watch

Chapter 305 Shipwreck, Castle, Sea, and... Night Watch

"Eh... No! That's not a wooden plank!" Lin Yi opened his eyes wide, but saw some cold air floating in the fragmented light. At least compared to the wooden plank, it was more like some kind of rough, hard yellow-brown large square stone.

 "Is it a stone?"

 "Is it... that kind of stone?!"

 This kind of stone was familiar to Lin Yi. It was just like the big yellow-brown stone in the stairway of the art building!

 Squarish yellow-brown stones, as big as half a person, were piled at the bottom of the swimming pool. It was unknown how long it had been.

This place seems to have been formed after a certain passage was flooded. Some abstract symbols and words seem to be carved on the stone wall, but now it is covered by growing moss. The moss is like a thick green carpet, as if it has covered the history.

 However, the sound of the iron chain did not disappear because of this. Deep in the dark passage, there was still that strange figure. It must be moving. Otherwise, how could it drag the iron chain that sounded extremely heavy?

 That must be a thick iron chain, like...the kind attached to a ship's anchor!


The sound floated out from the deep darkness like a bubble, accompanied by the sound of bubbles "Gululu", like the last call of someone who was about to drown.

  Lin Yi shook his head violently.

  There was a voice in his heart - "Vision! Everything is a hallucination! This is just a swimming pool! It's just a swimming pool!"

  He swam upward, swimming through the area full of floating lights, getting closer and closer to the water.

  He seemed to see lights on the water. The lights swaying in the ripples were like the reflection of the broken moon, seeming to call to him.

  The moment he was close to the water, a sinister, strange laughter seemed to appear behind his head, far and near...

  【Ha...hehehehehe...】

 The next moment, he pierced through the water with a "poof——" and his head came out of the water!

                                                                                                           logue through in in you in in on in the matter , such as in the swimming pool , and can feel the atmosphere in the air that belongs exclusively to the swimming pool... eh?

 Why...there is no smell like that in the swimming pool?

 There was a fishy smell of the sea in the air, accompanied by a rotten smell. The water surface was undulating. The waves were not big, but the momentum was not small. It made him move with the waves like a small boat.

   "This... is not a swimming pool!"

   This is...

    "The sea?!"

   "Wow——"

   "Wow——"

     
  Black waves surged in from the mist, one wave after another, and there were dense raindrops in the sky, falling like soybeans, causing burning pain on his cheeks and the skin exposed on the water, and making his swimming goggles completely lose his vision.

  He seemed to see endless fog, but he couldn't tell whether it was the fog on the sea, the water vapor on his swimming goggles, or both.

  He vaguely saw the overlapping peaks, but he couldn't tell whether it was the appearance of the fog in the light and shadow, the real coastline, or some kind of mirage.


  Intermittent calls came intermittently from the depths of the mist...

  And in this voice, there seems to be another voice...

  That is not human language. , but the kind of low groan mixed with the storm of pain, like the evil syllables sung by the shamans of ancient tribes during rituals. Lin Yi has not heard it for a long time, the full version of that call——

  【I Avgru...Nnen av tKe... og mrke jaGer for...Tapte Sjeler... fanTome】

   【fanTome...】

  【…fanTome...】

  【I Avgru...Nnen av tKe... og mrke...】

  Such a sound soon overshadowed the sound of the roaring waves, the sound of heavy rain hitting the sea surface, and turned into a torrent of sound waves, echoing one after another under the gray fog!

 Lin Yi felt a turbulent undercurrent beneath his body. He looked down and saw that his swimming goggles were stained with water, but he could see the underwater scene clearly!

 I saw a torrent like a school of fish appearing in the deep water. They made uneven calls and rushed in a certain direction.

  He raised his head in that direction, and suddenly... his vision flickered with a terrifying frequency.

There was a roar in his mind, and then his vision suddenly spanned an unknown distance and saw a coastline!

 The mountains on the coastline are undulating, but there is only one cliff, as if someone had placed it there.

 On the cliff, there is a magnificent castle.

 The castle was shrouded in a storm, and thick clouds covered the sky, leaving only a black sun, hovering above the side of the castle bell tower like a roulette wheel.

 In front of a cliff somewhere in the castle, a black figure like an iron tower with a rustling windbreaker, holding an ancient green lantern, looked calmly at the gray fog that obscured the sky.

  Night watchman.

  「‘Night Watch’!」

Lin Yi naturally knew who it was, but when he saw the night watchman from this "perspective" and saw him standing alone in the boundless darkness, standing alone in front of the castle, while he felt infinite reverence in his heart, he also felt an inexplicable sadness and sadness.

 It is as if the fate of the entire world rests on the shoulders of the night watchman alone.

 Just when he "saw" the night watchman, the night watchman also saw him.

 At this moment, a cluster of red-gold flames suddenly appeared on the night watchman's face, which was shrouded in darkness, as if the golden sun lit up the long night.

 Just at this glance, Lin Yi felt like he was going to melt. He wanted to turn his head, but found that he had no ability to control his body.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Lin Yi felt that he could no longer see anything else. It seemed that only the sun-like eyes of the night watchman remained in his eyes.

  忽然,守夜人抿紧且隐隐下弯的嘴唇终于是松动了,他缓缓开口,低沉厚重而威严的嗓音,仿佛古钟之声千载悠悠,跨越了时空的束缚,形成了某种恐怖的戒谕,击碎了海浪与暴风雨,响彻灰雾海上:

  「「De jager lyset i tke blir til er!   

   He raised the ancient green lantern, and thunder tore through the night sky.

          

   The world seemed to be torn apart, and endless brilliance rushed over like a torrent.

 In this "lens" of Lin Yi, he felt like he caught a wave of concave and convex light beams with his face, and the whole world turned into dazzling white...

 "Lin Yi...Lin Yi..."

 "Lin Yi!"

 He felt like someone was shaking his shoulders.

 As the white light faded, his vision gradually recovered.

   He saw the water surface and ceramic tiles filled with light, the soft light of incandescent lamps, and the buoy close in front of him.

 The voice became clearer and clearer. He turned his head and saw Li Huiyuan's face full of anxiety.

When he saw Li Huiyuan, an expression of tears of joy immediately appeared on Li Huiyuan's face. There was a layer of mist floating under the swimming goggles. He didn't know whether it was water vapor or water mist swirling in the eye sockets.

  She shouted to the side in surprise: "Boss, boss, Lin Yi has come to his senses!"

  "Boss?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the boss had walked to the edge of the swimming pool beside him.

 Seeing him come back to his senses, the boss's eyes immediately returned to a cold look, and the remaining concern disappeared.

  "The "Ashes" were cleared out all at once, but you have to explain to me exactly what happened this time. "The boss said coldly on the shore, his cold eyes full of unquestionable color.

Li Huiyuan also said: "Yes, Lin Yi, I just told you not to go to the deep water area. How come you swam here with a flick of your tail? I wanted to stop you, but you pushed me away!"

Her tone was very dissatisfied, but there was still a hint of worry. While speaking, she even rubbed her... well, chest.

 Lin Yi's eyebrows twitched subconsciously.

  Could it be that...?

 No way...?

 I...have no impression at all!

 But he didn't care about these things, and immediately fell silent when he looked at the buoy in front of him.

  He is right in front of the buoy.

 But...he was not on the shallow water side, but on the deep water side!

Li Huiyuan said: "You plunged in with a sudden force. I waited for you for a long time and didn't see you coming up. When I was about to come down to see how you were doing, you came out of the water again, but you passed the buoy and reached the deep water area, and you were motionless as if you had lost your soul. I thought you were possessed!"

"I..." Lin Yi's eyes flickered, and the scene just now flashed through his mind.

Visions of a sunken ship in the water...

Visions of a flooded castle passage...

Visions of a sea shrouded in storm and fog...

 And...a vision of looking directly into the eyes of the night watchman...

And he didn’t know what, his intuition told him that this time it was not him who escaped from the vision on his own strength, but the night watchman who shattered the vision and sent him back to reality.

 In other words, it was because he looked at the night watchman in the vision, so all the visions around him were wiped out.

 Then the question comes - "Wrecks, castles, the sea... what are these going on?"

 "Is it a nesting doll hallucination like multiple dreams and Inception?"

   "There is also the abyss! And the haunting figure chained in the abyss!"

   "Except for the last sea where the sound of the chain was not heard, the other layers of vision seemed to be penetrated by its sound!"

 The other key is, what is going on with him?

 Why are the visual hallucinations becoming more and more frequent, and...appearing more and more smoothly, and appearing without warning?

 Furthermore, for the most recent vision, he clearly knew it was a vision, but it was as if his mind had been hard-controlled, as if there was an invisible force that held him in the vision!


 Lin Yi quickly regained his composure.

  The boss by the pool said: "If nothing happens, just come up first."

Lin Yi climbed onto the shore and then looked back at the swimming pool with lingering fear.

 The water in the pool is very calm, with only a few waves.

 The broken incandescent lights and some LED lights are reflected on the water, but there is no weird or uncomfortable feeling, as if nothing happened.

  "Boss, you just said... that all the "ashes" in my body are gone? Lin Yi looked at the boss.

  Hello, hey, are you experiencing network lag? What about what I said to you? Why don't you reply to me? Do you only have the words of the boss in your mind? Li Huiyuan put her hands on her hips, but of course she didn't say these words.

  She could still distinguish the priorities, so she compiled all these words with her eyes. Of course, Lin Yi definitely couldn't decipher them.

"Yes, a very strange phenomenon." Lao Dadao, "Although the "ashes" in your body are gone, the last part should not be absorbed all at once. What did you do? "

  "Is it really related to the night watchman?" Lin Yi murmured to himself.

  "Nightwatcher?" The boss narrowed his eyes, "What's going on?"

  Lin Yi then told the contents of the vision of the new version of the ship that had just appeared, including the last confrontation.

  "Perhaps it's the relationship between looking at each other." Lin Yidao.

 The boss hesitated and said: "Hallucinations... they are hallucinations after all. Those things are all reflected by your brain, how can they be effective?"

 Lin Yi was stunned by the question.

 He suddenly longed for Mr. Tian to be here.

 This kind of question, if Tian Bufan were here, we should be able to draw a more reasonable inference.

 But his words can only be speculated to this level: "Could it be that... I really looked at the night watchman on some level because of some channels?"

 The boss's expression was a little unnatural: "I have never heard of this kind of operation... Have you ever had such an experience before?"

 "Uh... this is the first time." Lin Yi confessed.

 The boss fell silent.

 After a moment, she shook her head slightly: "Then it is not of reference, but if this happens again in the future, you can remember it and look for patterns."

"If that's the case, it may be your most powerful life-saving trump card."

"Okay...then I'll pay attention." Lin Yi scratched his head. Although the boss's words made him very excited, after all, this thing is not a single word. Even if it is true, there are too many chances.

  "And, you..." Just as he was speaking, the boss's body suddenly paused for no reason, and the words he spoke came to an abrupt end.

  The boss seemed to sense something, and secretly spat: "No!"

  "How..." Lin Yigang was about to ask, and his whole heart seemed to have been severely tugged, and his whole body trembled!

  He saw a layer of... fog floating on the water surface of the swimming pool. He didn't know when it had floated on it!
