Chapter 370 "Temple" "Mingzhao", and "Time Zero"
"They are obsessed with the world, because this is their world, and they crave extraordinary power, because it makes their limited return journey more lasting... If you are lost in the endless time loop, you will return to the world in the form of a laughing angel."
"The laughing angel...?!" Lin Yi's pupils shrank hard. Next, "Is this the essence of the Laughing Angels?"
"But their number...are there too many Dream Builders? Is it because they cannot be completely killed?"
"The Laughing Angels cannot be completely killed, they are manifestations of extraordinary power penetrating the layers" - He thought of the original words that Lao Mo once said, and the general idea was this. It turned out that this was what the night watchman said to Lao Mo.
"There are not many of them." The night watchman denied, "Many times they are the same one, or the same batch. They are just souls that penetrate the layer and possess people in the world, and they can't come back at all."
"It's like a network terminal? No, WiFi? God seance?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
The night watchman didn’t know what WiFi was, but when he heard the séance, he nodded slightly.
The souls of the dreamers are trapped in different dimensions. They take the form of the Laughing Angel, using the body of the host or other people as a medium, and come to the real world... Just like the undead souls who have fallen in a foreign land want to come back...
I don't know why, thinking this way, I actually feel a kind of compassion for the Laughing Angel.
They were also the ones who sacrificed their lives to fight against the invasion of gray fog, but now they have become a "hostile" party.
Assimilate and die."
"The young man Mo Xiaozi is interested in..." The night watchman pointed to the mirror-like wall, where the torn apart Mu Daxian was in the layer, "I remember that he is becoming the "Black Moon Apostle"... No, what do they call it..."
"Oh, "art student". "
"Before he became an art student, he used to be a "dormitory warden", but when he became a dormitory warden, he exhausted the extraordinary power of the kerosene lamp used to maintain his own safety, and was infiltrated by the soul of the dreamer, becoming a laughing angel." He became an "art student". "
"However, perhaps it is because he once became the container of the Laughing Angel. His desire and desire for the extraordinary are extremely strong... He has pursued my companions to fight against the gray fog several times. His will is particularly firm, but his determination is in the wrong direction."
"He wants to pursue a deeper level of 'pollution'..."
“I can see that he actually enjoys the power of the ‘Laughing Angel’. He himself is a soul chasing phantoms. His fanaticism is no different from that of those fanatical believers. The only difference is that he still retains his humanity.”
It has nothing to do with him."
It has nothing to do with him anymore. He is now a mud Buddha crossing the river and cannot save himself...
Lin Yi took a breath: "Then if I 'build a dream', how do I know the passage of time? If I don't know, will I die in my dream too?"
“Yes.” The Night Watcher said, “This is a risk that any dreamer needs to take, but I will infiltrate your perception through the “Temple” to ensure that your perception characteristics are amplified enough to match that item. "
"Then...can I refuse your request? I don't want to die yet..." In the face of absolute authority, Lin Yi chose to confess. After all, he only had one life, and he had no intention of leaving it to the great cause that the night watchman said.
"People will remember your sacrifice."
"But I don't have the consciousness of sacrifice yet..." Lin Yi wanted to say that what he had been thinking about since he first entered the school was how to leave, not how to sacrifice...
If he had known that his life was in danger, there would be no way he would have come here.
The night watchman was silent for a moment, but the young dreamer in front of him seemed to be...different from the person "he" mentioned.
Could it be a mistake?
But now that the arrow was on the string and he had to shoot, he had no other choice except Lin Yi.
"Since you don't want to die, what are you doing here?"
"Old Mo brought me here..."
"This is not your answer."
/> Lin Yi: "..."
"You want to come, so he can bring you here."
Lin Yi pursed his lips: "I myself naturally want to see the legendary art building..."
"I understand..." the night watchman said, "you have been called by the Art Building, just like the dream builders of all ages... So how do you feel when you see the Art Building now? "
"It's incredible..."
"What you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg... Do you want to see the world under the ice?"
Hearing this, Lin Yi's heart could not help but beat loudly in his chest.
"The world under the ice...? What is that?"
"Black Moon Outpost, and even the current invasion...'the true appearance'. "The corners of the night watchman's mouth raised slightly.
From this moment on, he knew that he had captured Lin Yi.
A person who dares to break into the art building like this is no different from a "light chaser in fog" to a certain extent. They were unmoved before just because they did not see the "light" that could drive them crazy.
The world is like a huge picture covered with gray cloth. The night watchman handed a corner of the gray cloth to Lin Yi's hand.
He wanted to uncover this layer of canvas, and the thought made his soul and body tremble with excitement.
The night watchman said nothing, the flames had been thrown into the explosives, and all he had to wait for was just a gorgeous explosion.
However, although Lin Yi's body was trembling and trembling, and his instinct had begun to expect, he gritted his teeth with willpower and drove every muscle in his body to restrain his desire.
Finally, he spoke slowly:
"I... don't want to see it."
When he said this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
He could hear the bewitching voice echoing in his ears, like the whisper of a devil, tempting him to sign a contract of betrayal from hell.
The night watchman was slightly startled.
The expected explosion did not happen. It seemed that a little boy extinguished the fuse by urinating.
Lin Yi's face was very pale. What was more tiring than the battle between heaven and man was defeating himself.
At this moment, he was like a cultivator who was the first to stand in front of the gate of immortality when the gate of ascension first opened, but rejected the opportunity to ascend to heaven.
He tried his best to lower his head, and then looked at the quartz watch on his wrist: "It's already 2:14...I think there's not much time...I...should go back soon..."
He lowered his head and glanced at his watch. The time at the moment was 2:14. Once he got the old kerosene lamp in Lao Mo's hand, he should go back...
Although there were many secrets on the night watchman's side, the risk of obtaining them was too great. Tian Bufan also had a lot on hand, and he could get them the next time he returned to the dormitory.
Comparing the two, he will naturally choose to avoid risks.
As for the Night Watchman...his instinct told him that he should agree to the Night Watchman's request, but his reason told him...that he would die.
It will definitely die.
Hearing the word "time", the night watchman's eyes, which were staring outside the bell tower, slowly turned around, and then followed Lin Yi's line of sight and fell on Lin Yi's wrist...
"Boom——"
At this moment, whether it was the thunder that drowned everything, or the huge waves in the heart of the night watchman, Lin Yi felt that the whole space was shaking violently.
"That's...?!"
The sound of the night watchman's voice made waves as never before.
He looked at Lin Yi.
This is also the first time Lin Yi has looked at the night watchman in this sense.
He saw an outline as resolute as a rock. The night watchman's face seemed to be full of cracked marks, like a piece of scorched earth where the water source had dried up for countless years. In such a scorched earth, the pair of golden eyes were burning like two flames.
This terrifying sense of oppression was as if he was looking at the lord in hell. Lin Yi felt that his soul was about to be ignited. The wrist where the night watchman was looking at him felt a strong burning sensation, as if he was about to be burned through.
"I understand..." There was a hint of complicated emotions in the night watchman's voice, "So that's it... So that's it... Is this really just one step away?"
Lin Yi's heart was slightly shaken, and he didn't understand what the night watchman understood.
The night watchman finally looked at him: "Since you brought it... then you have to help me even if you don't want to help."
"However, you don't need to worry too much. I only need to borrow your "one hour" time. If we can't find the location of the item within one hour, you can send it back immediately."
"An hour later, just over 3 o'clock, you have enough time to leave the art building."
"How?"
Lin Yi tightened his mouth. For some reason, he felt that the night watchman originally planned to forcefully recruit him to work. The reason why his tone was so tactful seemed to be related to his watch...
This watch... can show the time in dreams, which seems to be something extraordinary. Could it be that the night watchman saw the secret of the watch at a glance, so - wait! This watch can show the real time in dreams!
That means that just wearing it can solve the problem of losing time scale when building dreams?
In this way, you won’t be exiled because of the issue of “time”?
"I... don't seem to have the qualifications to refuse." Lin Yi responded bitterly.
Perhaps he was not qualified to refuse from the beginning.
In the face of absolute power and power, consultation is just a manifestation of kindness.
That’s all.
"Come to me." The night watchman waved, "The breath of the "Temple" will make your perception spread all over the art building, but don't follow the trend... I will give you some guidance, and you will use this guidance to perceive the world. Once there is a fluctuation in the item, I will stop you in time. 》
ification " Lin Yi walked towards the position pointed by the night watchman, followed the movement of the night watchman, and looked towards... "Quantum Clock".
One of the three extraordinary creations created by the craftsman to stabilize the layer where the Black Moon Outpost is located..."
"The other two are the ancient blue lantern "Mingzhao" used to stabilize the space, and the one to stabilize time..."
He took a deep look at the quartz watch on Lin Yi's wrist.
Time compass "hour zero". "
"Gudong..." Lin Yi swallowed secretly.
It turns out that the name of the ancient green lantern held by the night watchman standing on the cliff is "Mingzhao"?
And the remaining time compass called "Time Zero"...
"Why is he staring at my watch so much? Could it be that my watch also has extraordinary properties similar to the time compass?"
/>
"But this watch is just...just..."
This watch was just given to him by his father, but for some reason, every time Lin Yi recalled "family" in his mind, he would feel unusually ethereal.
This feeling of emptiness has become more and more serious recently.
It seems that after entering the campus, you will really be forgotten by the outside world.
He sat down where the night watchman was pointing - right under the quantum clock "Temple".
"This matter... is there nothing that needs attention?" He looked at the night watchman and asked.
The Night Watchman said: "There is only one thing that needs to be remembered..."Believe in me" and give me "absolute trust". "
"'Absolute...trust'?" Lin Yi murmured, thoughtfully.
"In dreams, identity is particularly important. You need an identity to communicate with me, so from now on, I will call you "Repeater"." The night watchman said, "And you, you can call me..."02". "
"'02'?" Lin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking in his heart, I am still "01"...
But he would never be able to say this kind of self-proclaimed seniority.
"Are you ready?" the night watchman's voice rang in his ears.
Lin Yi took a deep breath: "Ready."
"Okay." The night watchman responded, and then, just like last time, he wrapped up a majestic extraordinary force and slammed into the body of the giant quantum clock "Temple".
「Duang——!!!」
Horrible waves of air surged out, and the body of the nearest night watchman was temporarily out of frame. Lin Yi, who was directly under the quantum clock, felt a heavy feeling that could not be described in words, as if the sky had fallen, and then it hit his spine hard!
That wave of air fell on him like a sound wave!
At that moment, Lin Yi felt that he was about to be shattered to pieces!
