Chapter 409 Return to Campus
As they got closer, the light became clearer and clearer, and finally, Lin Yi saw a familiar cobblestone road.
At the passing point of the road, a street lamp pole was erected. The dim light of the street lamp shone on the road, illuminating everything around it.
Compared with the distorted space just now, this place seems extremely normal and peaceful.
The security guard slowed down, and the endless darkness that had enveloped them slowly dispersed like a tide...
Lin Yi had a strange feeling in his heart, as if a submarine was rising, and the dark and strange twisted space was gradually left behind him.
Lin Yi began to feel the coldness of the early morning breeze blowing across his cheeks. Although his physical fitness had improved to an unknown extent, this coldness that was almost imprinted on his "cognition" still made him shiver subconsciously.
It’s like seeing someone else’s balls being exploded, and you’ll feel a dull pain yourself.
After a few steps, Lin Yi's feet had turned into uneven pebbles. This touch made him feel extremely at ease in his heart.
As they approached the street lamp in front, their figures were stretched out, as if they had broken free from the abyss of darkness and returned to the real world.
The chefs in black bibs seemed to have gotten used to it, but Zhao Lingxiao obviously breathed a long sigh of relief, and seemed to still have a trace of fear about the environment just now.
The security guard led them to a stop somewhere near the light pole, then turned to look at them. A majestic and deep voice slowly sounded:
"This is the campus. It's almost dawn, and they don't dare to be too unscrupulous... If you abide by the corresponding rules, you can return to the teaching building."
The security guard issued an "expulsion order."
Lin Yi consciously loosened the chain and walked towards the lamppost.
Zhao Lingxiao did not hesitate much and followed Lin Yi's pace.
Looking at Lin Yi's back, the security guard was thoughtful.
A chef in a black bib hesitated for a moment and said, "Aren't you going to take him to the canteen?"
"It's not necessary." The security guard shook his head, "Any sequence is destined to have only one honorable position... An "Ashes Apostle" who is not a "human" has sneaked into the campus, and it will find that kid. "
"We can protect him for a while, but we cannot protect him for life."
"Then if he fails..." The chef in the black bib muttered, "Wouldn't it become very troublesome? ?”
ˆ “As long as he is on campus, it won’t be a problem. One day...”
ˆ “I will crush his pain with my own hands...even if he is the “chosen one”. "
After the security guard said that, he turned around and entered the darkness. Only the majestic and cold voice was left, vaguely hovering in the darkness.
…
May 10, 2023, 5:16.
In the early hours of the morning on the campus, the sky has not yet dawned, and the fish belly white has not yet appeared. The whole world is still shrouded in hazy darkness. Only the navy blue sky faintly indicates that the long night is about to end and dawn is approaching.
The campus at this point is eerie and terrifying. The air is filled with thick moisture, which blends with the fog, making the entire campus seem to be lifted into the clouds.
The light moisture gave Lin Yi's skin a slippery and cold feeling. Even the light from the street lamp pole could not provide any warmth.
Lin Yi quickly arrived in front of the street light pole and confirmed the number of the light pole immediately.
「Library-102」.
“Sure enough, it’s 102!” Because he had expected it, after confirming it, he felt more like “it’s true” in his heart.
This is indeed the lamppost that Tian Bufan arrived at before, the so-called "end of the road" and "there is no library in front of him, only a green forest belt".
"The map is really 'absolutely accurate'..." Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh. Although this small code only contains a few words, the more you know about the campus, the more you feel the horror of the deep meaning hidden behind the few words of the rules, as well as the horror of the officials who drafted the rules.
He looked around, and the road he came from had turned into a green forest belt at some point, and he could not see the darkness at all.
Perhaps, it was a green forest belt, but they were able to appear here because they were led by security guards.
There are no roads in the world, and wherever the security guards walk, they become roads.
"Hey, hey, you should wait for me!" Zhao Lingxiao's voice sounded behind him.
She kept rubbing her arms as if to drive away the cold.
"How can you have the nerve to leave a cute girl like me alone in the middle of the night?" She complained softly, but it was more of a joke.
"Sorry, sorry..." He repeatedly interrupted Zhao Lingxiao's skill casting, but he was extremely perfunctory and had no intention of continuing.
Him is really grateful to this woman who is a little scheming from time to time.
Comparing to Zhao Lingxiao, he prefers Li Huiyuan's feeling of trusting his life...
Mainly because of what happened in the library, he always felt that Zhao Lingxiao would trick him out of nowhere.
He briefly identified the direction, and then walked towards the light pole in front.
Zhao Lingxiao followed Lin Yi without hesitation.
Lin Yi stopped and looked at her with a frown: "Why are you still following me?"
Zhao Lingxiao rolled his eyes: "Please, people are walking this way too, don't be pretentious."
Lin Yi then silently followed the original path back to the "Library-102" lamppost.
Zhao Lingxiao: "..."
"You! That's too much! Why are you like this?" She stamped her feet, "Okay, okay, I just want to follow you! You hurry up and move forward!"
"How about you go first?" Lin Yi raised his hand and gestured to Wu Jing.
"Wai, don't you think it would be safer if two people walked together?"
"Is that true?" Lin Yi questioned seriously.
"You!" Zhao Lingxiao bit her lower lip and stared at him resentfully. But when she saw Lin Yi looking like a poor monk who came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to go to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, she felt clear in her heart. She immediately stamped her feet, snorted, and without further entanglement, turned around and disappeared into the darkness in front of the street lamp pole, and walked down the street lamp pole alone.
Looking at Zhao Lingxiao's back, Lin Yi sighed quietly, but felt a little calmer in his heart.
Previously, he might have felt that the two of them were safer, but now Zhao Lingxiao gave him a negative sense of security.
It’s okay to have someone to accompany you, but what he does is much easier to do alone.
He glanced at his watch. The time was now 5:18. Soon the sun would rise and the night would pass.
There is not much time left for him.
I still remember that the former head teacher -039, now the art teacher Bai Fangshuo, once told him that if he was still outside the classroom after 22 o'clock one day, he should go into the office to get a dictionary she left behind. When he got the dictionary, he would know what to do next.
The time for self-study in the teaching building is from 21:00 in the evening to 7:40 the next day.
During this period, if you do not return to the classroom, then from the location information point of view, it is "outside the classroom".
In principle, the only situations that can occur at that time are: first, staying up late studying in the classroom, and second, sleeping in the dormitory.
Except for these two situations, everything else is an "unsafe state", and the head teacher-039 asked him to get the dictionary at this time, and specifically asked not to wake up his new head teacher.
Lin Yi didn't know how many mysteries were hidden in the dictionary that class teacher-039 left for him, but he knew that the problem was certainly not simple.
Because from experience, anything you come into contact with outside the scope of the rules is abnormal.
But for now, it doesn’t matter anymore.
After all, it is difficult for him to be called a "normal person" now.
He followed the guidance of the street light pole and left the library area, then turned around at the dividing line between "Library-001" and "Teaching Building-001" and rushed towards the teaching building.
At this moment, his speed was not slow, but because he had to identify the direction, he was still a little slow. By the time he left the library area and entered the teaching building area, the time on his watch had already reached 5:26.
At 5:26 on the campus, it was already dawning on the horizon. The puppet sculptures had already begun to evacuate from the teaching building and retreated back into the green forest belt. The nocturnal species in the green forest belt that were originally dark and crawling also gradually evacuated after sensing the sky.
The campus at this point seems to be extremely safe, but Lin Yi always feels a little uneasy in his heart.
Hence, he stopped for a moment when he arrived at the streetlight pole of "Teaching Building-062", and then looked around by the light of the streetlight, mainly to take a look at the source of his uneasiness - the situation in the green forest belt.
However, the green forest belt is so weird that there is no shadow of the puppet sculpture (sculpture square). There is only one explanation for such an abnormality -
The big ghost is born, and the little ghost retreats.
· Sure enough, Lin Yi soon discovered a spherical stone in the green forest belt.
Even though the light is very dim, the clear fish scale-like feather texture on the surface of the stone still shines with a different luster under the dim light.
Lin Yi recognized it at a glance. It was the sculpture of the angry angel in the "power off state"!
Now, the Raging Angel sculpture seemed to have detected his appearance, and began to shake slightly, and then gradually woke up...
Although it seemed a very outrageous thing to encounter the Raging Angel just after leaving the security guard, but for Lin Yi who had experienced so many things, it was not surprising.
换作是一个没有什么经验的萌新遭遇暴怒天使，一定会惊慌失措的逃跑，但林异不一样了……
他是非常冷静的逃跑。
According to his experience, the awakening of the Raging Angel sculpture is a very slow process, and he has a lot of time to sprint towards the teaching building.
And according to the "Code for Classroom Buildings" and other codes, as long as you arrive in the building, you will be in a safe state - of course, the premise of these is to abide by the code, and when he appeared here at this point, it was obvious that he was not very clear about whether he would be protected by the building according to the code.
But he was going back to the teaching building, so naturally he had to go back first.
If it doesn't work, just get rid of it...
emmmm...Yes, that's right, "Just get rid of it".
When Lin Yi had this idea in his subconscious, he himself was shocked.
"What kind of ghost is this?" He opened a Jiling.
It was as if he heard his instinct say to him, "You, go and kill the Raging Angel!" Lower level, maybe easier to deal with...
After all, this guy is real, not as imaginary as the Laughing Angel...
As Lin Yi rushed towards the teaching building, he "perceived" the fluctuations of the angry angel's breath...
The thin mist in the campus did not have much impact on him now.
At low tide, even children can kick the foam on the beach.
The wrathful angel sculpture in the green forest belt, the feathers were peeled off the surface of the sphere little by little, and thin blood-colored steam began to spray out from the gaps, as if a rescue capsule had opened the hatch.
As his wings spread, a dwarf holding his knees slowly raised his head, like an ostrich that had just woken up.
It stretched its body, and the petrified skin slowly faded away from the lime color and became like flesh and blood.
It twisted its neck, the eyes on its cheeks slowly moved, and then locked onto Lin Yi like a radar.
【hee——】
The corners of its mouth opened in a curve, and a trace of pure bloodlust suddenly appeared in its cold golden eyes.
It arched its body, blood-colored breath spurted out from the body, entangled around its body, its muscles bulged, and then ejected...
"Boom——"
Accompanied by a heavy sound, the nearby green forest belt was shaken.
It shot out like a cannonball, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, carrying a fierce wind, and rushed towards Lin Yi with a whirring sound.
That long distance can be easily crossed by it.
Lin Yi's perception stretched out like a tentacle, taking in all changes around him and frantically capturing all kinds of information. When the furious angel entered his perception range, his brain was running rapidly, and he immediately judged its landing point. When he was about to be caught, he flashed out for a distance with a beautiful "Asura Flash".
"Boom!"
The sculpture of the Raging Angel hit the ground, dirt and dust rose up, and the shock was transmitted, and Lin Yi almost staggered.
【hee——】
「咚——」
With a muffled sound, the Raging Angel's ejection seemed to have no "cooling" and no need to "charge up" at all. It hit the ground like a rubber man, and then immediately used the force to push out from the dust at an even faster speed, heading towards Lin Yi.
The murderous look in the smile at the corner of its mouth was even worse. Looking at Lin Yi, it seemed as if he was seeing the most sumptuous meal.
Lin Yi would not give it a chance to speak. He glanced at the nearby lamppost, and then quickly rushed towards the teaching building.
