Chapter 603 The golden body was shattered
"Gululu... Gululu..."
His cochlea was also filled with seawater, and the seawater kept rubbing against his eardrums, transmitting some weird bubble sounds into his ears.
He felt his body was itchy, and he couldn't help but struggle again. However, this time, he actually felt a loose feeling - he actually broke free from the entanglement of those jellyfish-like nocturnal species!
The jellyfish-like nocturnal species fell apart with some broken materials. Lin Yi quickly moved his palms and tried to return to the sea.
But as he paddled, he felt the seawater touching his limbs very strangely, like sandpaper scraping his skin.
He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that all the flesh and blood on his body had been torn off by the jellyfish-like nocturnal species, and now only a skeleton was left of him.
He has no muscles, blood vessels, and no skin. His hands only have bones and no palms, so he cannot paddle through the water at all.
He stroked a few times, but his body was still sinking.
The surrounding light is getting darker and darker, and the spotlight-like brilliance falling on the sea has very limited penetration.
Soon, the only thing left in his ears was the dull sound of "Gululu" water, and the surrounding area became pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.
He tried to send out sensory tentacles, but found that the surroundings were empty, with only the jellyfish-like nocturnal species left...
They really surrounded him like a school of fish in the sea, with their snake-head-like mouthparts holding the flesh and blood torn from his body.
His flesh and blood is precious. It is flesh and blood mixed with ashes, and it is not ordinary food.
In fantasy novels, Gao Liao is also a precious blood elixir that can be used to refine some elixirs.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a bit wasted.
Such a good thing should be eaten by yourself so as not to waste it.
No, wait... what does it mean to eat yourself...
Eat yourself, self-destruct?
Haha...that's really stupid...
Some weird thoughts popped up in his mind one after another. Suddenly, the image of self-devouring formed the image of an ouroboros in his mind.
Ouroboros... eats itself...
Destruction is rebirth...
This...
He seemed to have thought of some weird inspiration, but the inspiration flashed by without leaving even a shadow on him.
He thought again of the World Tree artwork called "Born to Death" in the lobby of the Art Building. It was a creation that seemed to be frozen in time. Could it be that it was not a simple artwork?
There were many things popping up in his mind.
But it has nothing to do with the black sea.
It seemed that at this moment, he was consciously blocking out everything about the black sea in his mind.
He could no longer see what was around him, and his sensory tentacles had also lost their judgment of space.
The jellyfish-like nocturnal species disappeared, replaced by numerous finer, symbiont-like flocs.
These things began to stick to his bone metal like cotton wool, and gradually stuck to his surface like a thin film with fluff.
"What is this...?"
Lin Yi felt in surprise. He scratched off this layer of fluff, only to find that after they were attached, it was as if they had grown on his body. No matter what he did, he could not remove them.
Just when he thought that the flocs would continue to accumulate on his body, a thin voice sounded in his ears.
This sound is so subtle, yet so clear.
In this endless black water, it is as loud as thunder.
"Crack..."
Lin Yi was horrified to find that the "clicking" sound came from him!
From his golden body!
At this moment, his skeletal golden body was actually cracked by these flocs!
"What?! I'm going to burst?!"
Before he could feel too much shock, those fine cracks spread across his skeletal body, just like radioactive cracks appearing on glass, covering his whole body in an instant!
As the cracks spread, Lin Yi's bones kept making the sound of dominoes knocking down. This process was so short, yet so painful and long.
In the end, with a sound of "Bang!", his skeletal golden body was completely broken into countless pieces in the black sea. Adhered to the adhesion of those fluffy flocs, he slowly sank toward the depths of the sea.
After the bones and golden body were broken, Lin Yi was stunned.
There is no body, so where is he now?
If only a ball of will is left, can the boss save him?
"What kind of state am I in now?" He looked at "himself", but could not see anything. At this moment, he was like a ball of void will, only "existing" but without any "trace of existence".
He was confused.
In the depths of this black sea where even light cannot shine, not to mention that he no longer has a body, even if he does, he can't even reach out and see his fingers.
He lost his perception of space.
The darkness and tide enveloped everything, making it impossible for him to see the traces on the watch, and even his perception of time became blurred.
He seems to be unable to define time and space.
"Is this... the feeling of being exiled?"
"Mr. Tian..."
"Weisang..."
"Kui Kuai..."
When he was at a loss, he subconsciously called out to his roommate in his heart, but he still received no response to his call.
He really seemed to have been forgotten by the world.
He seemed to have lost even the feeling of sinking.
His void will floats here like a ghost.
"What should I do...?"
"Boss...wait, boss!"
Just when he was trying to call the boss, he suddenly thought of what the boss had said:
"Normally speaking, you won't drown. Even if you do, I will rescue you before you drown - no matter what situation you encounter, I can do it." "The whole process is the training process you must go through if you want to compete with the Night Watch."
"Don't worry about death, you must believe at all times that I will definitely come to save you."
"The boss said that I can feel the changes in the swimming pool, my own changes, and even many changes that are beyond common sense... This process is my training and improvement..."
"I must firmly believe at all times, the boss will definitely come to save me..."
Lin Yi's heart was bright.
All these changes were expected by the boss. In other words, the boss knew all this from the beginning. He knew that the swimming pool would change, that he would be eaten by jellyfish-like nocturnal species, and that he would be annihilated by floc...
There were many changes beyond common sense...
What would those changes look like...?
Lin Yi didn't know, so he tried to release his sensing tentacles.
The strange thing is that when he started to perceive, the dark water seemed to be completely invisible. He could clearly see the distribution of the fragments of his skeletal golden body in the black sea, and he could also feel the fragments of his own flesh and blood that had been swallowed up and digested by the snake-like tentacles of the jellyfish-like nocturnal species...
He seemed to be able to sense everything about him...
Being gnawed What is eaten, what is not eaten, what is decomposed, what is not decomposed...
What is floating, what is sinking...
Everything is actually connected to his sensing tentacles...
These things delayed everything for him, but now they have become the fulcrum of his sensing tentacles, allowing his sensing tentacles to continue to radiate.
It’s just that no matter how you perceive it, it’s like there’s nothingness in the black sea, and you can’t find anything.
This place is like an endless abyss filled with sea water. There is nothing but water.
Furthermore, his sinking speed is unknown, but judging from the situation, it doesn’t seem to be much faster. It is simply impossible to sink to the bottom of the sea.
Even, he didn’t know whether there was a bottom in the black sea.
I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly there was some "clang, clang, clang" sound in his ears.
It was the sound of the iron chain rubbing against the ground...
His will was in a daze, and somehow, he seemed to feel down to earth.
He found that the light around him became brighter, and the originally boundless deep sea waters seemed to have turned into a cage.
A... wooden cabin.
Lin Yi was slightly frightened, but as the only thing that appeared in the black sea water, all he could do now was to make every effort to sense and explore - no matter what happens, the boss will come to save him!
This cabin was in a state of decay. A few weak rays of light came from nowhere, struggling to penetrate through the gaps in the rotten wooden boards. The wooden boards were covered with the kind of floc that covered his skeletal golden body, and there were some unknown nocturnal species, clinging to corners or some broken utensils like octopuses.
He was floating slowly in the wooden cabin. There seemed to be some vague portraits and works of art on the inner walls of the cabin...
The overall atmosphere is eerie and filled with infinite loneliness, a bit like a gallery in an art building, but the gallery does not have such a corrupt atmosphere.
"This scene, could it be... the quartermaster?!"
Lin Yi suddenly realized that it was in such an environment when he discovered the quartermaster!
At least, the elements are almost the same!
Rotten wooden boards, dilapidated cabins, iron chains, and a tall figure...
However, there does not seem to be black sea water in the quartermaster's cabin!
But...it seems! It really seems!
It was like a quartermaster standing in front of him!
The dark cabin is actually quite big, but it still looks very cramped in front of that figure. The more so, the more that figure is no different from the quartermaster in Lin Yi's heart!
∣ ∣ … by
【Is this breath... is Lin Yi...? 】
That figure spoke slowly, it was indeed the quartermaster's voice. The deep voice made the entire cabin tremble.
Lin Yi's heart was shocked and his scalp was numb. He tried to respond: "You...are you...the "quartermaster"? "
The figure was silent and seemed not to hear his voice.
I don’t know why, but Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a hint of disappointment in his heart.
But at this moment, the figure moved slowly and came into the dim light.
【『Quartermaster』...? 】
【This is still the name... It seems... it was you at that time...】
【I see... I see... it was at that time... I see...】
【But... forget it...】
【…It's not important anymore...】
【You are here...】
【You are finally here...】
【For so many years...I have kept my promise...I have been waiting for you...】
The dim light shines on it through the cracks in the rotten wooden boards.
His figure was finally traced out in the black sea water.
Not "quartermaster".
At least, not the mobile equipment depot "Quartermaster" equipped with countless extraordinary creations.
However, its voice and the feeling it gave Lin Yi were no different from the "Quartermaster".
It slowly took off the tattered cloak, completely revealing its appearance in front of Lin Yi.
Seeing the other party's true face, Lin Yi's pupils shrank violently, and he was so shocked that he could hardly speak: "You...you...?!"
In front of him, the figure under the cloak turned out to be a huge human-shaped skeleton. Every part of the skeleton was filled with colorful brilliance, like the "Original Ash Apostle" that looked like it was pieced together from countless glass fragments.
Hand around the waist of the crystal skeleton, there is also a thick, rusty iron chain, which drags on the ground and extends into the dark corner of the cabin.
There seemed to be something hidden in that corner, but Lin Yi's attention was completely attracted to the crystal skeleton.
【Your shock makes me a little uncomfortable...but...I can understand you...】The crystal skeleton made a deep voice, and such a voice was actually transmitted through the will, [At least...after so many years, you are still here...]
【You are here...】
【It means you really keep your promise...】
【Everyone will be happy...even if you have become someone else...】
Lin Yi suppressed the shock in his heart and asked slowly: "What did we agree on?"
The eye sockets of the crystal skeleton are filled with cold candlelight, like fireflies in the cemetery on a summer night: [Nr den svarte mnen vissner... kommer srgemoerne tilbake fra det uendelige dyphavet...]
Lin Yi had already mastered this commandment in his mind. Hearing the words, his mind moved and he blurted out: "When the black moon withers, the mourners return from the endless deep sea."? Isn't this a precept? 》
