Chapter 407 Lin Yi... "Ashes Apostle"?
The security guard asked: "Do you carry your student ID card with you?"
Female hostel manager: "I always carry it with me."
The security guard nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he took the old kerosene lamp from the female dormitory into his hand. At the same time, he also grabbed the female dormitory's left hand and rolled up her sleeve.
On her wrist, there is an identity document, which is clearly her dormitory manager's certificate. On the certificate, her number is vaguely visible: "Board Manager-36-X0230507012".
The security guard spoke slowly, and his majestic voice seemed to carry some unspeakable magic: "I deprive you of the identity of "Board Manager-36-X0230507012". From this moment on, you will restore your identity before you became a Board Manager." "
His words were like orders. As he spoke, gray aura evaporated from the female dormitory's body, like a tempered iron.
At the same time, Lin Yi heard the muttering of the female dormitory in the gray aura: "My name is Zhao Lingxiao, my student ID number is "X0230507012", I am in the library The counter on the first floor of the library, next to the security guard..."
"My name is Zhao Lingxiao, and my student ID number is "X0230507012", I..."
"My name is..."
As the gray aura dissipated, the female dormitory manager, no, Zhao Lingxiao appeared in front of him.
There is not much difference between Zhao Lingxiao's appearance and that of the dormitory supervisor, but he gives the impression that he has more "life", instead of being pale and lifeless like the dormitory supervisor.
But there was one thing that made him a little dissatisfied, but he felt it was reasonable -
The security guard said that Zhao Lingxiao's dormitory manager number was "dormitory manager-36-X0230507012", but when Zhao Lingxiao was in the elevator, he said to himself "dormitory manager-33-X0230507012".
What a bastard, you actually lied about the floor!
It was like using all the few tricks against him!
Sure, that makes sense.
But judging from this one detail, Zhao Lingxiao seems to be a newbie with some sophisticated operations, but in fact he is more than sophisticated, he is simply extremely shrewd, hiding all his little thoughts with a delicate appearance.
Looking at it this way, there is probably something about the confidentiality agreement that has been mentioned...
After all, since the confidentiality agreement is signed, how can there be any leakage?
The only explanation is that she seems careless and quick-tongued, but in fact she is thoughtful and thoughtful. Maybe she wants to get some information out of him.
Even "lustful heart" may be a disguise!
Which decent man can remain absolutely vigilant against a delicate girl who "hides a lustful heart"?
不想不知道，林异此刻才算是发现了，这个赵灵逍啊，简直是把自己能够利用上的条件全部都给利用上了！
It is very possible that she was hunted down by that dummy because she came after her on purpose!
otherwise how to explain that she is not even afraid of fanatic believers, but is afraid of a hypocrite?
Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly felt that everything made sense, but this Zhao Lingxiao... just met him in the elevator by chance, and he came up with so many things according to circumstances?
It’s terrible!
It’s really terrible!
At this time, Zhao Lingxiao seemed to feel Lin Yi's eyes that wanted to peel her off and look at her thoroughly. He couldn't help but blink his watery eyes, and his curled eyelashes trembled slightly: "You... why are you looking at me like that?"
Bi Lu said angrily to Lin Yi, "I didn't know he would spit out so much air!"
Lin Yi curled his lips, thinking that Zhao Lingxiao's words now have to be read twice to confirm whether they are true or false.
At this moment, the security guard seemed to sense something and said, "It's time to go."
He said nothing and turned around, walking along the way he came.
When he turned around, Lin Yi heard a "crash" sound. After taking a closer look, he discovered that a black and shiny iron chain extended from the windbreaker under his body. The iron chain was very thick, like the ones used to connect anchors on some ships.
The extended parts of the chain were grasped in the hands of the black bib chef.
Zhao Lingxiao followed the chef in the black bib and reached out to grab one section of the chain.
Lin Yi quickly followed and imitated her and grabbed a piece of the chain.
Just when he grabbed the chain, the security guard's steps suddenly stopped.
"Are you planning to leave too?"
The security guard turned his head slightly, and the sideways look on his face made Lin Yi feel a mountain-like pressure.
"Uh...yeah, yeah." Lin Yi nodded dully, "Can't I leave?"
"It's nothing... I haven't seen the "Apostle of Ashes" for a long time, I thought you would stay. "The security guard said lightly, and then continued walking.
""Ashes Apostle"? Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. Are you talking about him?
But what does this mean...
"'Apostle of Ashes'...?" Hearing what the security guard said, almost all the chefs in black bibs turned around and glanced at Lin Yi, making Lin Yi feel a little embarrassed.
Zhao Lingxiao also looked at Lin Yi in surprise.
Lin Yi pursed his lips, feeling a little unnaturally embarrassed and couldn't help but buckle the toes in his sneakers.
It’s not that he is thin-skinned, it’s just that he is very reluctant to get to know them in such a candid manner at such a time when a sense of ceremony is urgently needed.
Lin Yi came to Zhao Lingxiao's side and whispered: "Hey..."
"What are you doing?" Zhao Lingxiao said impatiently.
Lin Yi humbly asked for advice: "What is the "Ashes Apostle"? "
"I don't know..."
"I don't know why you are shocked?"
"No matter what the security guard said about you at that time, I will be shocked, that's all."
"Damn..." Lin Yi curled his lips, "Is your performance so important?"
He opened his eyes wide and tried to see through the boundary of the orange light. However, all he saw was nothing more than sheets of bookshelves, and it felt like he was walking through the bookshelf area.
Just this bookshelf area gave him a feeling that was completely different from the "normal" library.
"Is it a 'layer jump'?" Lin Yi had this conjecture in his mind.
They quickly disappeared into this corner, and then the spreading darkness began to shrink until everything returned to normal.
X At 5:01 on May 10, 2023, the first floor of the library fell silent again, leaving only the figures of fanatic believers wandering in the bookshelf area, trembling as they looked at the corner that had long since returned to normal from a long distance away.
5:01:34, the elevator on the first floor of the library opened, and an embarrassed figure rushed out. Looking at the security team that had disappeared long ago, he kept shouting something...
May 10, 2023, on the "?" floor of the library, deep in an unknown spacious room.
The inner wall of the room is covered with LED light tubes, and the blue-white light fills the entire room.
There are many movable bookshelves in the room, and at this moment, all these books are placed haphazardly.
There are messy books on the messy bookshelf, and some books are still open there, as if they were deliberately opened and placed there.
But even in such a messy environment, there is a large area in the middle.
In that area, there were only a group of people and a huge experimental platform.
The number of those people was about seven, and most of them were old people with a stooped stature. Their hair was gray and sparsely attached to their scalps, like barren grass in winter, and their faces were covered with deep wrinkles.
The leader of the group wore a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses on his tall nose. The eyes behind the lenses revealed a sharp and fiery color that was completely different from his appearance.
He was holding a book and reciting an obscure and lengthy language. While reading, he was observing a vessel on the corner of the experimental table.
Several people around him were also chanting similar syllables to him, like a choir.
In the vessel in front of them, there was a sculptural severed limb.
Just from the twisted outline of the severed limb, it is impossible to tell what the object is. It just looks like some kind of weird vine sculpture, or some cult sculpture full of dark retro style.
As he chanted, some faint light continued to float on the severed limb, as if some kind of rough stone full of strange power was responding to the call of magic.
The old man's chanting voice became more and more hoarse, and fine beads of sweat began to leak out from his wrinkled forehead. It seemed that just reading the words from the book had consumed a high amount of his mental energy, making his whole body shaky like a candle in the wind.
The people around him were also swaying, looking like they were teetering but not falling, like seaweeds standing on a tree in the sea.
Finally, the light floating on the severed limb began to restrain, and began to breed a golden light inside.
Looking at the appearance of that golden light, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement, as if a sparrow born in the night could not control itself after seeing the newborn crescent moon.
The voices of their chants became more and more unified and louder, and the light in the severed limbs became more and more condensed and bright
With a "click" sound, the severed limbs were suddenly covered with cracks!
This severed limb actually seems to be a mysterious egg, and they seem to be using singing to speed up the hatching of unknown things in the egg!
Seeing such cracks, they became more and more excited, and the enthusiasm and expectation in their eyes could no longer be described in words.
However, just when the light reached its peak, the cracks quickly covered the entire severed limb. The next moment, the severed limb turned into powder with a "bang", leaving only a wisp of extremely condensed golden breath. After staying in the vessel for a brief moment, it quickly disappeared like a breath of hot breath.
The chanting stopped suddenly, and the suddenly quiet air made the temperature around the entire experimental platform seem to have dropped a lot.
The old man's arms were weakly supported on the experimental table. He took off his pair of black-rimmed glasses with trembling hands and silently took out his handkerchief to wipe the lenses.
The fanaticism in his eyes had completely disintegrated, replaced by a period of confusion.
His fingers silently twisted the lenses, as if trying to crush his disappointment.
After a while, he silently took out a voice recorder and pressed the record button:
"Record..."
The aura appeared as expected, but it lasted for 13 seconds and then decayed rapidly..."
"It lasted 3 seconds longer than the last time..."
The old man recorded it slowly, as if he was reviewing the failure of a battle.
The strange thing is that although he is obviously an old man, his voice is extremely young, like a young man in his early twenties.
With such a voice and appearance combined, it is difficult not to make people wonder if he has lost part of his time because of some kind of curse.
He adjusted, then picked up the book at hand, walked to a messy bookshelf, and whispered repeatedly: "Where is the omission... Where..."
He kept flipping through the books as if he wanted to get into them.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something and looked suddenly in a certain direction...
Not just him, everyone in the room sensed this fluctuation and looked in the same direction.
"That's...?! That's!!!" The old man's voice trembled with excitement.
It’s the “way”! The path to the mysterious code has really appeared! ! "
In the direction where the old man was looking, the space was distorted, the layers were undulating, and a deep passage slowly appeared with the movement of the library - it was the passage that Lin Yi had seen, and at the end of the passage, the "The Ruler of the Law" quietly displayed seemed to be the "mysterious code" that the old man called.
The old man rushed out of the room desperately, like a soldier who had abandoned his armor, and ran crazily towards the opening of the passage.
The strange thing is that after he rushed out of the room, he immediately entered a Greek temple-style building complex. This was indeed a certain floor of the library, but the layout style was very different from the more traditional style on the first floor of the library...
The architectural style here was as if a certain floor of a Greek temple had been directly cut off and moved over. Huge Doric stone pillars could be seen everywhere, covered with traces of erosion over time.
In the light of the lights, these stone pillars seem to emit bursts of fluorescent light, outline strange lines, and seem to contain some strange magic power.
