Chapter 479 Back to Building B, Goodbye Class Teacher -040
……
X May 10, 2023, 14:08, Building C, Teaching Building, 4th Floor.
Lin Yi, who seemed to be in a daze, suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes.
The will is back!
Lin Yi glanced at the handrail at the end of the stairwell on the fourth floor, and quickly went downstairs on the right hand side. After reaching the first floor, he stepped on the covered bridge back to Building B without looking back.
In this round and round, he had too many details to sort out, but Building C was not a place worthy of his stay and thinking. The correct approach was to go back to Group B, Class 2, sort out the findings, and then coordinate the intelligence with Class Teacher-040.
Shortly after Lin Yi left, Shan Nan also emerged from the stairwell.
Compared with before, Shan Nan's body was almost unharmed, but if Lin Yi were here, he would find that his aura was completely different from before.
I don’t know if it’s because of the ash crystals loaded in it, but the original blue light in Shannan’s exoskeleton armor has begun to turn into dark red, as if there is an endless manic atmosphere. In the shadow under his feet, gray granular dust also seems to be floating.
His current state is a little bit like Lin Yi who was entangled in ashes, but his exoskeleton armor is starting to show all kinds of weirdness with the blessing of crystals.
After arriving at Building C of the teaching building, he had no intention of returning to Building B, but silently observed the surrounding environment.
His brows frowned more and more, and he became more and more manic as he looked at the environment of the teaching building.
「Yeah, it’s still raining...」
His expression was extremely ugly.
"Wait! It's raining here too?"
"I hope this rain has nothing to do with the rain above the 5th floor..."
Lin Yi's expression was slightly solemn. He had felt that it was going to rain since the morning, but subjectively he still hoped that it would not rain until he returned to the dormitory at night - this subjective idea was of course very unrealistic, but a good vision was still necessary.
The problem now is that the rain came so coincidentally that he subconsciously connected it with the "Original Ash Apostles" and those extremely burning ashes.
It is true that he was the man behind the explosion and the ultimate burning, but when the "Original Ash Apostle" arrived, the development of the situation had nothing to do with him.
"Never mind...have a chat with the teacher first."
Lin Yi held his breath and ran up the corridor bridge of the teaching building in the light rain. The rain now was not heavy, and it was still several levels worse than the violent storm above the fifth floor of the teaching building. It was nothing to run for a while.
Besides, he still has a lot of things to do, such as recalling the details related to "Zhang Lingzhen". Why did Zhang Lingzhen's own voice only appear for a moment and then completely disappear?
Could it be that Zhang Lingzhen's independent consciousness, suppressed by the "burial" consciousness, is struggling, or is it that... there is no independent consciousness at all?
For another example, why did the "Original Ash Apostle" not invade the classroom, but just float in the void outside the classroom, displaying its so-called miracles like an illusory god?
Also, the presence of "Apostle of Ashes: Burning Man" is too cannon fodder, and it cannot match the intensity of the first time he met it. If Shannan can control the Burning Man, is there something hidden in it?"
There are too many details waiting for him to discover, too many doubts waiting for him to solve, so it is very unwise to stay in Building C of the teaching building and think about it now. The best thing to do is to return to the corresponding classroom.
At least, he needs an environment where he can think about problems without distraction.
A safe environment.
Whether it is Wei Liang’s class or the teacher’s office where the head teacher-040 is, they can provide this kind of safety effect.
The drizzle fell gently, and the thin mist became thicker and thicker, like the turbid river water being constantly stirred by a pair of invisible hands. The cold moisture penetrated the thick mist like a needle tip and fell on Lin Yi's skin, causing bursts of discomfort.
Lin Yi suddenly felt that the covered bridge under his feet was swaying. The covered bridge, which was supposed to have a geometric shape, somehow turned into wooden planks of the cable bridge. As he ran, the wooden planks moved left and right, as if they were throwing him into the water.
Water?
Lin Yi's pupils shrank, and there was a "swishing" sound in his ears, like the sound of waves lapping at his feet.
The source of the sound is the side of the covered bridge. Under abnormal weather, the moss on the outside of the covered bridge becomes a line, and the covered bridge becomes irregular and twisted accordingly.
A gust of wind roared, carrying water droplets that could not be distinguished from waves or drizzle, and hit Lin Yi's body.
Lin Yi's body was unstable and he was almost knocked over by this move.
He staggered to stabilize his body, but the sound of iron chains clanging in the wind sounded in his ears again...
Iron chains...?
Is it really an iron-locked bridge?
Of course not, because Lin Yi soon heard the calls coming one after another...
【Lin Yi...】
【Lin Yi, Lin Yi...】
【…】
Broken sculptures hung down one after another from the twisted ceiling of the covered bridge. They smiled strangely, shook their heads, and shouted, as if they were calling, but also like singing...
Waves were bursting, and the mist was rolling. At this moment, the covered bridge seemed to have turned into a bridge leading to an isolated island in the sea. The waves on both sides would push Lin Yi into the sea at any time.
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
14:12.
The passage of time is normal and somewhat abnormal, but the strangeness of the covered bridge is the most normal thing among the countless abnormal things he has experienced.
Lin Yi's expression was as usual. He was already familiar with this abnormality, even the anchoring method was extremely simple and crude.
He frowned, and the tentacles of perception spread out, directly covering the twisted corridor bridge, and then "My World" exploded, twisting it back in his heart.
With his current calculation power, if he only targets a covered bridge, he will be able to capture it easily.
He found the key correspondence point between "My World" and the corridor bridge of reality, and connected the two worlds. Every step he took thereafter was unconventional.
He kept moving forward on the twisted covered bridge, like a plasticine man without a skeleton. Every step was unseemly, but that was it. The wind and waves had no effect on him at all.
Within a minute, he arrived at Building B of the teaching building.
The moment he walked out of the corridor, Lin Yi staggered, feeling as if he had returned from the boat to the shore. Even the distortion behind him disappeared in an instant.
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
14:13.
It takes more than one minute to pass through the covered bridge, which is very reasonable.
He looked back at the covered bridge. The covered bridge had indeed been restored to its original state. It was even possible that the covered bridge had never changed and everything was just a one-man show of his.
The environment affected his cognition, his cognition distorted the world, and the world gave him feedback... And when he cleared the covered bridge alone, starting from his cognition, everything returned to its original state.
Only the damp clothes he was wearing gave him an extremely real feeling of discomfort.
But at this moment, the sound of distant nursery rhymes and the sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang" of iron chains seemed to be heard in the overlapping mist.
Lin Yi's ears heard the sound of a speeding train, and his vision flickered rapidly again. In the gray mist, broken sculptures hung upside down by iron chains seemed to appear. They sang songs, shook their heads, and pairs of pale golden eyes looked like the gaze of wolves in the shadows...
【『Lin Yi, Lin Yi...where are you going to go...』】
【"Lin Yi, Lin Yi...where can you go..."]
【"Come back, come back..."]
]
The horizons alternated between normal and abnormal. He even saw the surging waves beating on both sides of the covered bridge, breaking into countless water vapor.
The other end of the covered bridge seems to be connected to some mysterious realm.
Teaching building?
Still...
Lin Yi's pupils condensed slightly, and in the gray mist, the outline of a certain building was vaguely visible.
What? Are there any experts? !
Lin Yi was startled, and his eyes instantly shone like stars, as if they were about to burn.
since to be released for the first time !
「Block Tower?!」
As he gazed at it, the lines in the mist became clearer and clearer, and finally the outline emerged, and it turned out to be a bell tower.
Lin Yi's heart contracted hard.
This is a building that does not exist at all under the normal layer on the campus - the clock tower!
Moreover, it’s not the bell tower in the art building!
On the day he entered the school, he saw the shadow of the bell tower on the campus through the glass window of the blue bus. At that time, he tacitly accepted that the bell tower was part of the campus. However, when he came into contact with all the buildings that normally existed on the campus, he discovered that the bell tower actually did not exist on the campus at all.
Later, he thought that the bell tower was part of the Art Building. However, when he went to the Art Building in person, he found that the styles of the two bell towers were completely different.
The bell tower of the Art Building is very old, but the one on campus has more obvious traces of modern industrialization.
As for his final speculation - that the clock tower is part of the library, it has never been confirmed due to various reasons - who the hell can match the number of the ivory set with the clock tower? Damn it!
…He can.
Holmes once said that when all possibilities are eliminated, what remains, no matter how outrageous, is the truth.
So the library is just an ivory ball with a bell tower stuck on top, right...
What Digimon Unicorn can't it also transform into the form of a Steel Garuru clock tower...
Lin Yi was speechless for a while, but the things that were happening now became more and more absurd, and he could only keep conjectures about some outrageous inferences.
The gray mist was still surging, mixed with some water vapor, and hit his face.
The strange environment is still there, making it difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality.
· The covered bridge was soaked in a wet leaden gray at some point. In the flickering vision and intermittent singing, the structure of the covered bridge seemed to be swelling and twisting, and a sticky black liquid began to seep out from the gaps in the moss, as if it had been licked by some indescribable existence.
Mist surged from the depths of the green forest belt, carrying the smell of decaying branches and leaves, and condensed into translucent tentacle-like mist on both sides of the covered bridge, sometimes curling up and sometimes relaxing, like countless dormant pale arms...
Lin Yi shook his head to dispel these illusions, and then walked decisively towards the direction of Class 2 of Group B.
In the corridor of the classroom in Building B, some bold students were still looking at the surrounding environment curiously. The faces of those people made Lin Yi feel strange and strange, and he couldn't help but wonder if there were new college life experiencers here today.
That clear and stupid look...doesn't look like someone who spent the night on campus.
"We are still recruiting new people at this time... What on earth are the school thinking?"
Lin Yi's forehead veins throbbed, as if he had foreseen that some of these people would not be able to survive the night at all.
"Forget it... maybe I'm overthinking it."
Lin Yi shook his head and shook away his mother's heart. He is just an experience student, and he has nothing to worry about for the school...
Behind the school is the official, what is he worrying about?
Take care of yourself...
The only real thing is to honestly find a way to rescue Mao Zi, and then escape from the campus before the "Original Ash Apostle" comes to trouble him.
Ignoring these suspected new students, he walked around the corner and walked along the corridor to the door of the teacher's office "Group B Class 2".
He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
I, Lin Yi, student ID number "X0230506098". Lin Yi answered according to the format.
「Click!」
The cat's eye opened, Head Teacher-040 looked at it with wide eyes, and then quickly closed it after confirming.
The next moment, the office door was partially opened, and the head teacher-040's white palm stretched out, grabbed Lin Yi's wrist, and pulled him in.
Lin Yi was startled by the sudden "enthusiasm", but before he could speak, he met the extremely serious eyes of class teacher-040.
"Teacher, you..."
"Answer me first." As soon as Lin Yi started to speak, he was interrupted by the head teacher -040, "What were you doing in the corridor at noon?"
"I was building a puppet..." Lin Yi looked innocent, "Didn't you tell me the method? Why did you turn your back on me?"
The memory was clear, and it turned out that it was "himself" who was building the puppet... Class Teacher-040's heart moved slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "When did I tell you the method?"
"Ah? Didn't you tell me personally? Li Huiyuan is still listening by the side!" Lin Yi brought out the witness.
Homeroom Teacher-040 rolled his eyes: "I only told you the principle of construction."
"If you know the principle, you can do it, right?" Lin Yi still didn't understand.
Class Teacher-040 didn't know whether he was wise or foolish, so he explained helplessly: "Can you make rockets if you know the principles of making rockets?"
"Of course not, you also need to have enough technology and material supplies..." Lin Yi suddenly paused.
The head teacher-040 looked at him with a half-smile: "So where did you get your skills? Don't tell me that you are innate."
