Chapter 389: Tangled
X023, May 10, 3:18, Art Building Gallery.
The dim light of the old kerosene lamp flickered in the cramped gallery, as if it might go out at any moment.
The surroundings were eerily silent, and the occasional sound of mist flowing in the unexplained wind was like a ghost whispering in the darkness.
A creepy feeling gripped Lin Yi's heart tightly, and an icy chill ran down his spine like a jumping machine.
His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his breathing became rapid. He caught the figure of the little girl out of the corner of his eye, but he did not dare to say anything, and his body seemed to be frozen and unable to move.
Cold sweat seeped out from his forehead, slid down his cheeks, and dripped on the cold ground.
But even if it was unintentional, he now discovered a problem - the hands of the watch were moving "cha...cha...cha..." very normally, and the weak sound was infinitely amplified in this dead environment, making it look particularly weird.
「等等……时间是正常的？」
没有筑梦时该有的那种流逝速度，竟然是正常的流速……？ !
How can it be normal?
The little girl didn't move, and Lin Yi didn't dare to move. The air around him seemed to have frozen, and the chill became stronger and stronger, wrapping around his whole body like cold tentacles.
The little girl stood quietly like that, her little mouth opening and closing dully, and then the dark nursery rhyme sounded from all directions, like leaves falling in the wind.
The little girl's attention has been on his watch without any change.
"She's looking at my watch?"
A strange idea came out of his mind - take off the watch and throw it away, to lure her away like a bone to lure away a dog!
But this idea really just flashed and disappeared. Lin Yi denied it as soon as it came out.
The watch...cannot be thrown away.
Not to mention that this is the only thing that can appear in his dream state except the "Ouroboros Ring" so far. Even if he doesn't know the magic of the watch, he has never considered taking off the watch at all, because...
Huh? "Because..."
But he knew subconsciously that this watch was very important and he must not lose it.
At this moment, he heard some other sounds faintly appearing in the voice of the little girl who was humming a black nursery rhyme, like the little girl whispering, but the "babble, babble, babble" sound was like talking in sleep, and it was really inaudible.
Suddenly, the little girl moved, and she slowly picked up "Amon's music box" and raised it little by little in front of Lin Yi...
As the music box approached, a cold chill hit her face, and the surrounding darkness also seemed to It was like thick mud, biting away at the territory of the old kerosene lamp...
"What?!"
Lin Yi was shocked, "Amon's Music Box" actually suppressed the extraordinary properties of the old kerosene lamp!
Darkness tightly wrapped every inch of space, and the weak light of the old kerosene lamp struggled in the darkness, like a dying person hanging in his last breath.
The little girl moved her eyes little by little, tilted her neck, and looked at Lin Yi's face, as if she wanted to see Lin Yi's current expression.
[Brother, brother, you are so bad~ It’s a joke that my sister has a dull saw~]
[That tree is really nice~ I hung my brother separately~]
[Children, hide and seek...]
Black nursery rhymes sounded far and near in Lin Yi’s ears, echoing the tinkling sound of the music box, making Lin Yi unable to make any resistance.
Suddenly...
Lin Yi felt something cold and soft touch his palm.
But in his eyes, he clearly saw nothing.
The touch was extremely clear, and it was still moving up his palm little by little, and finally touched his watch...
"Could it be her...?!"
The little girl was obviously beside him, but he didn't dare to look at the little girl, and he didn't dare to call the title "Mage Master" in his heart, for fear of causing some strange reactions.
But the little girl clearly didn’t touch him!
"Could it be...penetration?"
"The little girl is just the perception she gave me, or is it just the "cognition" that my brain established for me?"
h "She does not really exist in the form of a little girl, but in the form of extraordinary characteristics that penetrate the layers?" He thought of what Tian Bufan once mentioned about the conceptual sculpture - quantum state!
Is the little girl's penetration in a "quantum state"? !
Actually, she is not here!
Just like when he was dreaming, he arrived at the door of the bedroom, and then he had a similar feeling, pushing his hand to the door, and then he entered the bedroom!
Is everything under her control?
The little girl's sleepy voice, the black nursery rhymes, and the notes of the music box kept swirling in Lin Yi's mind.
Finally, her attention slowly moved from Lin Yi's watch to his body...
Lin Yi clearly felt the touch of being touched by the soft and cold invisible force, which began to move along his arm towards his shoulder, but at the same time, he also discovered that a scar appeared on his hand...
It was as if someone had cut open his skin with a sharp knife, exposing the muscles and blood vessels, and the blood slowly flowed out. When it came into contact with the light of the old kerosene lamp, it became viscous and turned into a substance like ketchup.
The little girl slowly came up, opened her mouth, spit out her pink tongue and gently licked Lin Yi's wound.
The wound hurt, but it was extremely itchy after being licked by the little girl.
Lin Yi's heart was filled with fury, and there was an indescribable emotion brewing in his chest, which was both terrifying... but also filled with some unconcealable excitement.
After the scar was licked, the ketchup stopped flowing, but the invisible touch was still moving, new wounds began to appear, blood continued to flow, and the little girl started licking again.
He felt like his arm was now like an egg yolk quicksand bag. The opening was opened, and when the quicksand was gone, the little girl ate it. When it stopped flowing, he opened a bigger opening and continued eating.
However, at this time, he did not notice that the time on the watch gradually stagnated...
The pointer on the dial began to move extremely slowly from the 30th second of 3:19...
And the scars on his arms, guided by the invisible force, formed a mysterious symbol like an oracle.
When Lin Yi saw this symbol, he was shocked: "Secret pattern...?!"
Before he could react, a strong burning sensation, as if being eroded by lava, stung his body deeply and made his soul tremble.
This strong feeling penetrated along his skin and into his flesh, and it actually wanted to cut off his arm!
The little girl... wants his watch!
Lin Yi reacted suddenly!
"No! Can't sit still and wait for death! Run!"
"Run! Start running, you must run!!!"
With his mind made up, Lin Yi started running.
When he moved, the thick darkness around him was unable to react for a moment, and it waited until he ran before starting to chase his figure.
The little girl holding the music box was left behind by him.
He was running in the gallery holding an old kerosene lamp high. He had only one thought in his mind - escape from the gallery!
"As long as I am still in the gallery, she will always be there! The only way to get rid of her is to leave! Hiss-ha-"
The severe pain in his arm made his running movements extremely uncoordinated, and he almost fell down several times.
However, when he accidentally saw his arm, the hair on his head almost exploded.
The little girl was not knocked down by him. Instead, she held her on his arm with her small mouth open and stuck to his arm like a rag doll!
The little girl's silky hair was swaying like small waves in the wind. Her delicate face looked harmless, but her small mouth on Lin Yi's arm began to flow out some black oil-like viscous liquid, like ink, infecting Lin Yi's arm bit by bit.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Yi's arm, and then climbed onto Lin Yi's arm as if she didn't need to follow any physical rules, and then sat on his hand so nimbly, following the swing of his arm.
Her body seemed to have been seeping that kind of black dirty liquid, which soaked into her black and red Lolita uniform, making her uniform look dirty, but it could always disappear.
Her smooth legs were pale and cold, and a stained lace sock was exposed at the ankle, but inside the sock, there seemed to be something bulging, like... an iron chain.
Lin Yi did not dare to take a closer look. He glanced at it and immediately opened the door and ran for his life.
To be honest, after experiencing the baptism of the "Temple", he no longer cared about the pain of having all his flesh and blood and internal organs annihilated. He would not even blink at the inhumane pain, and could even watch his own flesh and blood being annihilated and shattered with a smile.
But he was completely unable to bear the pain when the scar was branded on his arm. The pain seemed to be carved into his will, reaching deep into his soul.
He suddenly missed the laughing angels hiding in his shadow. He would rather be sucked by a group of laughing angels than having secret marks carved on his arms and being sucked like jelly by a little girl.
At least, the Laughing Angel only made him feel weak in the kidneys, while the little girl was eating his kidneys - the most important thing was not to cut them all off, but to make fresh kidney sashimi!
The burning sensation became more and more intense, and Lin Yi felt that his hand was about to break.
But at the critical moment, the painful feeling could not progress any further, as if it had encountered a hard problem.
They have indeed encountered difficulties.
The power of the secret pattern cut Lin Yi's arm like a continuously feeding water jet, but it got stuck when it hit Lin Yi's bones.
The power of the secret pattern cannot penetrate Lin Yi's "Golden Bone Body"!
Lin Yi himself was filled with surprises, crying with joy and tears. He said to himself that the night watchman "02" in charge of the "Temple" was really a famous teacher like Kaido. The first wave of the "Temple" taught him to condense the golden aura. The second wave helped him forge a golden body of bones and extremely strong flesh and blood, and the first wave taught him the retroactive method of building dreams...
Of course, if the famous teacher Nightwatcher of the generation had a teaching philosophy, it should be four words - "Eat until you die."
However, before Lin Yi could express any more emotions, the little girl reached under the skirt of Lolita's uniform and fumbled for a while, then pulled out a hacksaw that was bigger than her body from between her snow-white legs...
"No, it's stupid!"
Lin Yi was sweating profusely and his scalp was numb. It was understandable that there were pockets in the pleated skirt of Li Huiyuan's JK uniform, and it was understandable that there were pockets in the skirt of Lolita's uniform. But - what the hell are you doing "taking a saw in the crotch"? !
What was even more frightening was that when the little girl took out the saw, she put it directly on Lin Yi's arm, facing the golden bone that was impenetrable by the secret pattern, and started sawing so neatly.
The little girl's small body is pulling a big hacksaw, and the discordant style is like a Q version of cartoon animation, but Lin Yi suffered from the same problem.
Every time he saw, Lin Yi could feel the sharp sound of sore bones. But this time, not only was it really "personal", but his bones were also really sore.
The sharp saw teeth were cutting hard on the bones, and the trembling sensation was transmitted to the whole body along with the bones. Lin Yi felt that he was going to be shaken out of his mind.
He finally "cultivated" his skeletal golden body under the energy waves of the "Temple", and was able to face the first wave of "Temple's" energy. He felt quite good about himself. Even without the praise of "Lu Bu was alive", he still deserved the reputation of "my second brother is invincible in the world". How did he end up with this haunting little girl?
It doesn’t matter if he really wants to go to the stall. After all, Lin Yi is now known as the "Renewable Little Tang Monk" and "Delicious Tai Sui". He feels refreshed after taking a breath of vitality, and his flesh and blood turn red and purple after taking two mouthfuls. Moreover, with the smiling angel in front of him, it doesn't matter if there is a little girl. Lin Yi can completely accept it.
But the situation is different now. It’s okay to eat two grapes. Why do you start cutting down trees just because you don’t agree?
With his golden body, when he returns to the campus and faces those midnight walkers, isn’t that a dimensionality-reducing blow?
But he was about to be sawed off before he returned to campus to show off in front of the greenskins and the puppet sculptures!
Isn’t this inappropriate?
He had no intention of thinking about it anymore, because the excruciating pain began to stimulate his nerves and instincts. He felt that his arm bones were really being sawed open by the little girl's hard sawing!
The little girl’s dirty face had no expression at all. No matter how Lin Yi swung his arms with the rhythm of running, she seemed to have grown on his hands and remained unmoved, sawing his arm bones bit by bit according to her own rhythm.
Lin Yi suddenly understood that the little girl’s ultimate goal was his watch. If he couldn’t pick it off, he would have to saw it off!
In the end, he was the "Mage Master" who cut up all the "first apostles" and buried them. What a corpse-dismembering maniac. He was really ruthless and didn't say much!
