Chapter 604 "The Mourner"
The Crystal Skeleton said slowly: [You will slowly remember... our mission... the mission we... were created to carry out. ]
The crystal skeleton spoke vaguely, but at least it was not the Riddler, and Lin Yi seemed to have captured certain key words: "Am I also created?"
The crystal skeleton shook its head slightly: [We are, you are not... your reincarnation... is different from ours...]
"What on earth are you now, what exactly... are you?" Lin Yi asked.
Crystal Skeleton was silent for a while, with flickering eyes: [We are the souls of the night vigil, the believers of the black sun, the most loyal followers of the "original apostles"...]
【Since we were created, until we die, until the flesh and blood on the corpse are devoured by nocturnal species, and the marrow is sucked dry by nocturnal species... We have always been here, fighting against the immortal ghosts and ashes in the black wave, even if only one body is left. The skeletons have always carried out the will of the "original apostles"...]
【We are the embers of the black sun falling in the deep sea...】
【We are..."the mourners". 】
……? ! "Lin Yi lost his voice in shock, "Is that admonishment specifically referring to you?"
"When the black moon withers, the mourners return from the endless deep sea', that's not what it means. 】The voice of "Mourner" slowly sounded, "When you master the complete "Soul Song", you will understand the meaning..."
by Hugo)? What is that? Wait, I think... I heard it from the night watchman! " Lin Yidao, "No, it's not the night watchman! It's the notes of "Amon's music box". The night watchman said that the music box played the "requiem song". "
【Lord Amon...】"The Mourner"'s eyes flashed with strange fluctuations, "He was right... They were all right before, but it's a pity...they didn't persist..."
"What did you say...?!" Lin Yi asked, "What persistence, what's right, do these things have anything to do with me?"
【It has something to do with the whole world.... 】 "The Mourner" said faintly, the decayed wooden cabin was constantly trembling and crumbling under the resonance of its voice, as if it was about to collapse, "The whole world has been dilapidated since our creation... They patched it up, but they can only delay the pace of destruction..." 】
【Even they... are at the end of their skills...】
"Have what happened at that time affected us now?" Lin Yi asked in shock.
【The world can exist only because of the sacrifices of those adults...】
Since then, until now, everything has only benefited from the shade created by the predecessors...]
[However, the roots of the big tree have been broken. When all the leaves fall, the dry branches will no longer be able to shelter from the wind and rain. All that is left in this world is death and the end. 】
Lin Yi's heart was filled with confusion. He thought about what the fanatic believers said: "The sun has gone out, how long can the afterglow last, you will eventually die."
"Then... did you summon me, or did I find you?" Lin Yi asked.
He remembered that he kept sinking in the black sea, and then without knowing it, he fell into this wooden cabin.
【So...you found me, maybe your consciousness sensed my existence in the infinite layers, and then appeared here. 】 "The Mourner" said, "Can't you even tell your own state clearly? 】
Lin Yi was shocked when he heard this.
The words of "The Mourner" awakened him. What state is he in now?
He was eaten, even his bones and golden body were broken...
"I don’t know... what state I am in now, what about you, what state are you in?"
We have long forgotten time... In the infinite layers, we are like wandering ghosts...]
We have lost time... Lin Yi was slightly startled. He thought of another commandment, which was also the one that the strange creatures in the black sea repeatedly chanted in a low voice: "In the abyss of fog and darkness, lost souls pursue phantoms."
"Wait...?!"
That sound seemed to have floated from the depths of the black sea, mixed with a distant song-like sound, and passed into his perception.
"Could it be... that the "Mourner" was calling him?!"
"But in this case...aren't those things in the depths of the black sea...aren't they evil?"
"Is my guess wrong?"
"The Mourner" said slowly: "Where are you... now?" Outside, what time is it again? 】
"Me?" Lin Yi was startled for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm on campus. Outside, now..."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt a numb scalp. He originally communicated well with the "mourners", but when he said these words, he felt that something in the dark seemed to have its eyes on him!
He shuddered suddenly!
"The Mourner" just said that it knew what time it was, why... now it has to ask the time again?
"Is it...for some..."coordinates"?!"
In a three-dimensional world, three elements can determine the position of a unit in space. If it is a four-dimensional world, it may be necessary to add the element of time.
If the "mourner" knows the "time" and "space" where he is, can he find his "coordinates" in the endless layers? !
【When the black moon fades, the mourners return from the endless deep sea. 】
He shuddered. If the "Mourners" were the group of strange units calling him from the depths of the distant black sea, would their return mean a... world-class disaster?
"It's deceiving me, trying to get the "coordinates" of the real world from me?"
Lin Yi did not dare to be careless and slowly compiled a message: "It should be...X999."
【X999... Then where is the "campus" you are talking about? 】 "The Mourner" asked slowly, its tone became smooth and gentle, like the intimacy and gentleness between old friends, full of demagoguery.
"In your childhood... you may not know this country at all." Lin Yi said slowly.
The small life was destroyed by the "Snake Nest" in X999. To endorse a destroyed place, he is really a damn genius.
【I understand... Year
It chuckled softly, causing the entire wooden cabin to shake and tremble. The rotten wooden boards were unable to bear the load and collapsed one after another.
As the wooden boards were damaged, the light outside became brighter...
But as the rotten wooden boards collapsed, he gradually discovered that the light source outside the cabin...turned out to be from a huge eye!
Outside the sunken ship, there was a terrifying giant that could not be described in words. When he was communicating with the "mourner", the deep-sea giant had been looking at him through the gaps in the wooden planks of the rotting cabin!
The light in the cabin is emitted by the eyes of the giant creature in the deep sea in the cold water!
ded with waves flowing through the decaying cabin, scraping through Lin Yi's will like a blade, making him almost suffocated.
In a trance, he saw the root of the "Mourner's" chain through the gradually brightening light - in the corner filled with thick darkness that could not be dispersed at all, the end of the thick chain was actually caught in the palm of a forest-white skeleton!
That skeleton clung to the "mourner" until death!
On the body of the skeleton, a damaged dark green robe can be seen, which is exactly the same as the tattered cloak that the "mourner" wore before.
In other words, the clothes on the body of the "mourner" were most likely peeled off from the owner of this skeleton!
"It's not a "mourner" at all! The real "mourner" has long since died! Is it a soul born after death...or is it an imprisoned existence that already exists here?!"
"Gululu...Gululu..."
Outside the cabin of the wooden ship, the eyes of the giant creature in the deep sea rotated, slowly, slowly, staring at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi at this moment did not exist at all, but he clearly felt that he was locked!
Locked by the giant creature from the deep sea!
His will trembled violently, like a wooden house that would fall apart at any time during an earthquake.
But at the critical moment, he felt that the light around him became dim again...
His will left that layer and once again sank into the endless waters of the black sea.
【You are right...A real lie only needs to be mixed with one or two falsehoods in the complete facts...】
【X999...Little days...campus...】
【Don't go too far...】
【Let the "Snake's Nest" test it out...]
I don't know who it is talking to, but the deep-sea giant did not give any response. It just floated quietly in the cold and dark sea water, releasing waves as always...
"Gululu...Gululu..."
…
Lin Yi's will kept floating in the black sea water. He originally wanted to check the time just now.
He knew that if he wanted to, he would be able to see the time.
But he was glad that he didn't look at the time.
Others will not notice his watch, but the presence of the "mourner" in the layer will not go unnoticed. Once he looks at the time, the "mourner" will definitely notice his abnormality.
It’s hard to say what will happen by then.
He continued to sink... At the same time, he tried to sense his bone fragments.
He sensed it.
His bone fragments seem to be undergoing some kind of change. They are constantly absorbing something in the sea water, and the flocs are becoming more and more. From a distance, it feels like a floor drain filled with disgusting hair and gray-white flocs... …
Every piece of his bone fragments was undergoing such changes, and he couldn't tell whether it was his bone fragments absorbing weird things like floc, or whether those weird things were constantly attached to his bone fragments.
"Can you come back a little bit...?"
With this thought in his mind, the nearest bone fragment actually rippled slightly.
"Huh? It's really useful?"
Lin Yi felt happy at first. He could still control it, which meant he could reorganize the skeleton's golden body.
Then, he felt slightly chilled, because he found that his control over the bone fragments was somewhat inadequate!
It seems that not every bone fragment can be completely controlled by him.
Part of it is already in a state of numbness.
"Something bad happened..." With no spare time to study the "Mourners", Lin Yi realized that the absorption of these flocs was not due to the subjective initiative of his bone fragments, but to those weird things coming to his door.
If you want to recover, you must first clean up those flocs and hair-like things!
After thinking about this, Lin Yi stopped writing and took action immediately.
Since he can't decide whether to sink or float in the black sea, he must at least keep his bones and golden body, right?
After all, the foundation of our foothold cannot be lost, and the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed!
He then began to try to use his will to bring those bone fragments back together, but after trying, he discovered that his will was simply not enough to do this. He could sense the bone fragments, but could not control them.
In the final analysis, it was because those flocs were too weird. They adhered to the surface of his bone fragments and acted like a membrane, which had a certain blocking effect on his main will.
"I have to find a way...to clear away those flocs, otherwise I will never be able to reassemble my golden body!"
But this is not something that can be done easily. Lin Yi tried for a long time, but he could not use his will to cause any substantial damage to the flocs.
Just when he was almost helpless, he suddenly thought of something, and with an idea, he first felt the bone fragments of his left arm.
His left arm bone is branded with the little girl’s secret golden pattern!
Although those golden secret patterns have now fallen apart along with the shattering of the skeletal golden body, he still started the summons through some of the recent fragments.
"Whether it works or not depends on this move!" He growled, "Come on!!"
