Chapter 602 Under the swimming pool layer, the black sea!
"With your current understanding, this is not something you can know." The boss gently gave Li Huiyuan a chestnut on her smooth forehead.
Lin Yi is indeed picking up the authority he originally had little by little...
It seems that he is what the principal said before going to sea... "Have a backup plan"?
In this case, it seems that his training can be more radical.
Li Huiyuan shrank her neck silently, feeling the slight chill that suddenly rose from the body of the boss next to her, and she glanced at him quietly.
I saw the boss's arms folded in front of him, his head tilted back slightly, and a frightening light was flowing in his narrow eyes...
Li Huiyuan let out a soft "hiss", subconsciously clenched Lin Yi's swimming cap and goggles, and looked at Lin Yi who was paddling in the water with great concern.
At the same time, during this process, he pricked up his ears, picking up the conversation between the boss and Li Huiyuan like two receivers.
"Is the vision I had back then really part of the dream..."
“It seems that Mr. Tian’s statement can also be applied here. At certain special moments, my will just caught the wave band in a higher dimension..."
"So, what I see comes from scenes at a certain world node in the past, events in another space that are happening now, and...a scene in a future that has not yet appeared?"
"Wait, is there a possibility...that I am now, Is it a projection generated by me in the past using Dream Building in the future? "
"The real timeline is actually the scene I saw when I was repairing the city wall?!"
The city wall collapsed, the art building was submerged by the black sea, and the boundless tsunami flooded the campus, destroying everything...
Could it be that at that time, the real me, because I couldn't fight reality, chose to use dream building to enter this point in time... and try to reverse the future? !
【Time is a curse. 】
What the security guard said that gave him a strong sense of oppression at the beginning suddenly made his hair stand on end like a hanging sword at this moment.
Has the security guard seen through everything a long time ago? !
Compared to the night watchman who needs to maintain his "humanity" at certain moments, the security guard is more like the incarnation of a certain protection mechanism on the campus. Could it be that his existence touched such a mechanism and allowed the security guard to convey such a message to him through the void and dreams?
Past...present...future...
Lin Yixiang was in a trance. He subconsciously gave up paddling, and his body sank a little.
A mouthful of pool water splashed into Lin Yi's throat, choking him and causing him to cough violently.
"Cough! Cough cough cough! Cough cough..."
"No, no."
Lin Yi gradually recovered, and there was some fierceness and determination in his eyes.
Things in the past are in the past, things in the present are happening slowly, and things in the future... are not yet in the future!
"I am 'now', at this moment! And! It's just 'now'!"
"Even if I saw something, those blurry fragments may be just a speckled corner of ordinary time and space... They can warn me, but they cannot make a conclusion for my future!"
Lin Yi stabilized his mind and tried to continue listening to the conversation between the boss and Li Huiyuan, but he could not hear any sound.
The boss and Li Huiyuan have stopped talking.
He then turned his attention to the end of the swimming pool.
The strange thing is that he has been swimming for several minutes, but he doesn't seem to have gotten much closer to the other side of the swimming pool.
He swam for a while longer, but as he swam, the distance between him and the other side of the swimming pool actually became wider.
“What the hell?” He was stunned, and suddenly he discovered that the other side of the swimming pool was gradually disappearing into the darkness, and slowly he could no longer see the edge.
He squinted his eyes and held his breath attentively. Golden flames rose in his eyes, and "Visual Insight" was activated in real time!
"Whee!"
When "Visual Insight" was turned on, his field of vision began to rapidly zoom in to the other side of the swimming pool. However, the speed of such a zoom quickly diminished in less than three seconds, and was replaced by a very rapid retreat in sight distance!
"What's going on, what's going on?!"
Lin Yi was horrified and decisively withdrew from the field of view, but it was too late. When he switched back to the normal view, everything around him had changed into the environment he had just seen in the field of view!
To make matters worse, the boundaries of the swimming pool have been completely blurred, but on the so-called "horizon", huge buildings similar to the walls of a swimming pool are still vaguely visible.
There was nothing around Lin Yi, only the horrifyingly monotonous sound of water waves, which numbed his nerves and perceptions while bringing a slight sense of horror.
The entire swimming pool seemed to have been magnified countless times. The LED lights on the top looked like big shining eyes growing in the dark sky in the distance, which gave Lin Yi a vague feeling of terror that he was being watched by some unknown creature or group of unknown creatures.
The water surface fluctuated slightly, giving off the feeling of thick glue, but the touch on Lin Yi's skin told him that the water was still water, and there were no other unnecessary changes.
He gradually calmed down, thinking about what the boss said before, and then what the boss said to Li Huiyuan, he couldn't help but think: "Is this the kind of swimming pool that the boss said he realized after deepening his knowledge...?"
Indeed, according to this view, he really couldn't swim to the other side.
Hence, he gave up resistance and followed the boss's instructions to maintain some observation and feeling - because this would help him quickly enter a sinking state.
Danger is inevitable, but the behavior itself is also a necessary part of his training.
He then slowly moved his arms and continued swimming in the pool.
Then, he took the time to glance at his watch.
He did not specifically raise his hand out of the water, but glanced at the dial of the watch while moving his arm.
The water spray distorted some of the dial hands, but the time was almost exactly the same, it seemed to be 16:40.
"Hey, wait..."
Lin Yi's heart moved slightly, not because there was something wrong with the watch, but just when he was looking at the time, in a daze, he seemed to see some kind of flashing black shadow out of the corner of his eye.
"Is it an illusion?"
He obviously does not believe in illusions.
The probability of hallucinations in this kind of place is lower than that of hallucinations.
He then slowly lowered his head and searched for some kind of figure in the water below.
It was better not to look at it. At first glance, the pool water under him turned visibly darker. The LED light continued to weaken, and the pool water became darker and darker...
At this moment, goosebumps suddenly appeared on his skin - he actually developed a phobia of the deep sea in an indoor swimming pool!
"Phobia of the deep sea? Not good!!" Lin Yi's heart thumped, and he suddenly realized what was going on with the lingering haze in his heart!
Indoor swimming pool?
Infinite zoom...? !
Layer illusion!
No!
Space folding, layer jump! !
He must have been making a layer jump just now!
What he is now in is both a swimming pool and... a city wall on another layer!
And that’s not the worst!
The worst thing is that what he is in now, without any surprise, is——
"Boom——"
Lin Yi's pupils first shrank, and then quickly expanded!
His sensing tentacles danced crazily, like countless octopus tentacles. Each illusory sucker on the sensing tentacles frantically captured the pheromones in the layer, and countless green grid lines continued to extend...
"Minecraft", running rampant at top speed!
In his perception, the entire swimming pool began to change in the same way as the stadium evolved into the dome!
Since the gymnasium is part of the city wall, the underlying logic of the building must be consistent!
As expected!
As it continued to break and evolve, the entire swimming pool began to tilt and twist, and some buildings below began to emerge from the water, like a submarine emerging from the water, parting the sea water, not only pulling out of the water, forming a towering city wall!
And he - he continued to slide down the dark abyss along the separated sea water, becoming a piece of duckweed in the black sea blocked by the city wall!
That’s right!
No surprise!
The place he was in was suddenly in the black sea outside the city wall!
…
X May 11, 2023, 16:41, under the layer, there is a black sea.
The towering city wall, every brick and stone was filled with despair. Lin Yi was thrown into the black sea, like a desperate child falling into a deep well.
The water of the black sea turned into waves one after another, constantly pushing past his body, making his skin crawl.
Lin Yi silently moved his arms to keep himself afloat on the sea surface and not sink.
「Hoo, hoo, hoo...」
He began to pant, and began to understand more and more what the boss was talking about about drowning.
It turns out that you are not swimming to exhaustion in the swimming pool, but swimming to exhaustion in the black sea...and then sinking.
Beneath the sea water, black shadows shuttle endlessly...
Pure-breeding nocturnal species!
cessemandie “If so, then that's not bad.
Kelin Yi has seen two powerful nocturnal species so far.
One is a symbiote-like nocturnal species that has invaded the outer wall of the clock tower of the Art Building and can devour sentience, and the other is a hound-like nocturnal species that has entered the interior of the Art Building.
Comparatively speaking, the first type of nocturnal species is more terrifying, but the second type of nocturnal species is more disgusting.
He quickly sensed the surging undercurrent. At this moment, he was like a piece of bloody fat that had fallen into the Amazon river. Countless piranhas would be attracted to him!
As expected, Lin Yi seemed to have triggered a mechanism in the Pharaoh's tomb and summoned a scarab. Countless dark figures swarmed in the undercurrent and quickly targeted his fat piece!
He felt something touching his skin. At first it was just his soles and ankles, but before he could try to get rid of them, his thighs, hips, and even his waist, abdomen and chest... were all attached to this weird creature.
The bodies of these mysterious creatures were very soft, and it was difficult for Lin Yi to tell whether the things entangled on his body were hands, feet, or some kind of tentacles. There were also some hard scales or cuticle-like substances on the surface of those things, which caused Lin Yi bursts of pain.
"What on earth are these...?" Lin Yi gritted his teeth, sensing tentacles gradually covering them.
These things seemed to be nocturnal species, but they were also nocturnal species that he had never encountered before.
They look like a different kind of jellyfish or virus strain, with a core and many radiating branchlets.
Its core is a soft jelly-like substance, while the twigs look like snakes and tentacles. The head is triangular and seems to have some mouthparts. The rest of the body is covered with scales or cuticles.
Lin Yi tried to break free, but there were too many of them. In just a few breaths, he felt like he was being entangled to death by countless living vines.
His hands and feet were becoming more and more constrained, and soon he could no longer row.
He was like a cage wrapped with iron ropes, slowly sinking into the black sea...
Lin Yi's mouth and nose were constantly filled with seawater, and the violent coughing seemed to tear his chest apart. But in the endless seawater, every time he opened his mouth, he would fall into a vicious cycle of seawater pouring back. His body became weaker and weaker, and his hands and feet could no longer struggle.
Lin Yi felt that his body was filled with sea water, and his consciousness began to become blurry, but as soon as it became blurry, a cold and exciting feeling ran through his body like an electric current, making him energetic.
"I...?!"
Lin Yi's vague consciousness suddenly became clear, and the strong sense of suffocation and fear caused by drowning suddenly disappeared.
He actually didn't choke on the water - no, it wasn't that he didn't choke on the water, it was because he was full.
He could clearly feel that his lungs were now filled with sea water...
It was just that he seemed to be able to move around in the water without breathing.
That's right...he could recover even if he only had a skeleton and a golden body left, so what do oxygen and breathing count for?
His source of survival has completely turned into extraordinary matter.
But just now... it just showed the instinctive fear of drowning that humans are born with.
When he was still alive after drowning, he realized that drowning could not kill him at all.
Although drowning did not kill Lin Yi, he was still restrained by the jellyfish-like nocturnal species and could only sink quietly to the bottom of the sea.
He looked at the sea and saw dim light falling from the sea, falling on him like a huge spotlight.
