Chapter 368 Going to the Night Watch
What made Lin Yi feel his scalp tingling even more was something looming in its silhouette... There seemed to be some irregular sarcomas bulging out strangely on both sides, and these sarcomas seemed to have a life of their own. Generally, it squirms and shrinks from time to time, like some special scales, like some weird feathers, or... like there are countless pairs of small eyes hidden to peer into each layer!
The dark frenzy distorts the entire world outside the clock tower. Its body winds endlessly, and its head seems to be entangled in the body. The end of each shadow looks like its head, or it is not its head. It seems to be some kind of more terrifying collection...
After looking at it for a few times, Lin Yi immediately felt a biting cold feeling. It was a cold that penetrated into the bone marrow. It was not just a drop in temperature, but more like a freezing of the soul.
"Wait!"
"Is that the 'angel' that Lao Mo said?!"
After all, "angel" is just a title. Who can say that it doesn't look like a snake?
He immediately thought of the night watchman standing on the edge of the cliff holding an ancient green lantern in his hand, and the almost frozen "tsunami" in front of him. Could it be that the three night watchmen were fighting against the gray fog in different positions? Invasion?
And these three night watchmen are in charge of the ancient green lantern, the giant quantum clock, and some unknown extraordinary creation?
Thinking about it this way, are these night watchmen the ones who protect the Three Realms and Six Paths in some myths and legends?
After all, it seems that there were once six night watchmen...?
The vacant night watchman position...
Hiss——
Mu Daxian wants to become an immortal? !
The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more outrageous he became, and his thoughts gradually began to change...
At this moment, the night watchman's low and shuddering voice also reached his ears:
"Young man...you came up as expected."
"'Sure enough'?" Lin Yi's eyelids twitched fiercely. What does "Sure enough" mean? Could it be that the night watchman didn't think he could come up at all?
He coughed dryly and didn't know what to say to the night watchman, so he imitated the words often said by the protagonist in the novel, clasped his hands in his fists and said: "Uh... Fortunately, I have passed your test."
< br>
"'Test'?" The night watchman's voice paused slightly, "What test?"
"What the hell am I expecting?!" Lin Yi felt that his expectations were severely trampled under the feet of the night watchman, but it was hard to say anything, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart... It turned out that the night watchman said that "Only if you come up" means the same thing as the fights between classmates when I was a child...
Hit me if you can!
You think I don’t dare!
Come if you dare!
Just come!
Come on!
Snap!
Woohoo, do you really dare to hit me?
These scenes flashed by, but Lin Yi felt even more sad. He felt that if he were a little kid, his ears would be drooped by now.
The night watchman's voice continued: "Don't think so, I just thought you were interesting, so I wanted to see if you were qualified to come up."
When Lin Yi heard the word "qualification", he felt a little better, because this was more or less an informal test, but it was not given by the night watchman, but... that giant quantum clock?
After all, the wind and waves seemed to be coming from the giant quantum clock.
"Come here."
"Come closer and let me see."
The night watchman's voice sounded again, and the mind-shaking feeling was much weakened.
In this way, Lin Yi no longer had the feeling of Hong Zhong Da Lu roaring in his ears.
"Okay, I'll do it..."
He was just about to speak, but found that his body was already walking towards the night watchman uncontrollably, like a machine that was out of control of his subjective will.
He was shocked and tried to regain control of his body, but found that his body was not under control at all!
"It's not instinct, but... the night watchman directly gave an 'order' to my body?!"
Lin Yi was shocked. For example, the "orders" given by the physical education teacher had the flavor of a decree, but after all, the physical education teacher still had to give orders in a relatively fixed format, while the night watchman already seemed to follow the rules.
Speaking of coercion, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of Lao Mo... When Lao Mo took his layer to jump, there seemed to be some similar elements in it.
Perhaps this is some common characteristic that only appears after the pollution depth reaches a certain level?
"Then I will be like this in the future?" Lin Yi subconsciously came up with this idea, but instinctively did not consider that this meant that his pollution had reached a level far beyond the level of "experience student"...
For some reason, just when he began to accept this idea subconsciously, as if a certain mechanism was triggered, Wei Liang's mean look appeared in his mind for no reason.
"If you can really give orders like that, wouldn't Ryoko be able to realize the plot of the H-comic wherever she goes?"
"Forget it, forget it, don't think about it so much..."
Lin Yi adjusted his mood and focused on the environment in front of him.
He still had no control over his body, like a person whose screen was remotely controlled, and could only watch everything happening in front of him.
And he quickly understood why the night watchman did this - because the pattern on the top of the bell tower was not constant.
Just like what he saw when he first arrived here, the entire environment on the top floor was constantly changing. The stones under his feet were constantly extending and twisting, and disappeared as if they had suddenly folded ninety degrees. The tops are constantly evolving like the stamens of a flower blooming.
Of course, the same was true when he moved, and due to the addition of the variable "movement", the distortion of the entire space was aggravated. Just the changes in the space he perceived made him feel dizzy. .
This counterintuitive change will overturn the human body's perception of space and environment, causing people to lose many of their most basic characteristics, such as...the sense of spatial distance and center of gravity.
He feels top-heavy now, but fortunately he is not in control of his body at all... Wait! The Night Watchman took over his body with just one sentence? !
"This...?!"
This is so weird!
But Lin Yi had no time to pay attention to this weirdness, because all his attention was focused on observing the surrounding environment.
With the night watchman here, what else is he afraid of?
You must see enough!
Everything around me seemed to be scaled by an invisible force. The floating walls were spliced together at strange angles, and some even overlapped each other, forming an intricate maze-like structure.
He found that after he had walked a few steps, the originally straight stone slab suddenly tilted upward and connected with a certain side wall next to it. When he walked on it, it seemed as if he was walking on a slope that defied gravity...
The color tone of the entire world tends to be cold, mainly purple, with a faint golden light, giving the entire world a mysterious and cold atmosphere. The light that I don’t know where it originated from has become thin and weird in this world, far less bright and warm than the sunlight in the real world.
As he moves, he will see fragments of light from time to time. They seem to be emanating from some unknown places, such as the folds of space or the cracks of some unknown layers, scattering and forming lines. Bands of blue or purple light cast long, weirdly shaped shadows in the twisted space.
When the air wave surges, the color of these lights will also change drastically. Whenever the night watchman hits the giant quantum clock, a golden light will glow around the giant clock. This light forms a sharp contrast with the cold background. Like the ray of light at dawn in the dark night, it carries a mysterious sense of oppression.
The golden light will spread along the folds and contours of the entire space, outlining the outline of an unknown building or creature. In the air close to the quantum clock, golden ripples seem to be intertwined in the space. Some kind of mysterious and complex totem pattern appeared...
The material here seems to be in an extremely unstable state. The walls and floors look like they are solidified by flowing liquid. There are irregular textures on the surface, like traces of water flow that were instantly frozen. Some wall fragments are still there. It will flicker from time to time, as if it may disappear or change form at any time.
There are candlesticks with burning candles on several walls, but the candlesticks change into other materials from time to time, and then return to their original appearance.
In this strange world, the only things that remain unchanged seem to be the night watchman and the quantum clock.
They were at the center of the world, and everything that changed seemed to surround them like an asteroid belt.
At this moment, Lin Yi's body was controlled and he jumped from a stone slab that was vertical to the ground to a stone slab that was almost turned over and facing the ground.
"Crack!"
He landed steadily there, like an upside-down Spider-Man...
The rules of gravity seemed to be completely absent, and the boards of Newton's coffin were overturned.
But maybe Newton had seen this phenomenon during his lifetime. After all, he might have been studying these things in his later years.
Lin had been constantly moving. He originally thought he would need to re-adapt to this unconventional way of moving, but he found that he was wrong - he didn't have to adapt at all.
In other words, with his body's current "adaptability", the "mere" feeling of disobedience is simply a waste of time.
At this time, he jumped to a stone slab not far ahead that was completely impossible to reach with the "naked eye".
When he jumped out, an illusory path seemed to appear in the space, like an invisible slide, guiding him to the landing point.
Here, the height and distance of the jump are no longer limited by muscle strength and gravity in the real world, but more by the logical rules within the space...
If Lin Yi were to leave on his own, there would be no chance of getting close to the night watchman!
The only thing he could be sure of was that no matter which way he walked, he would eventually close the distance between him and the Night Watchman - even if sometimes it seemed that he was running in a direction away from the Night Watchman.
He subconsciously glanced at his hand and found that the time on the dial was still moving, but the intervals between minutes and seconds seemed to be different...
The time here seems to be distorted, not linear, but intermittent. This causes his watch to be subject to time fluctuations, resulting in some acceleration or slowdown of time that cannot be explained by science.
If he doesn't look at his watch, Lin Yi has lost his sense of time, because in his opinion, as long as his eyes look at the night watchman and the quantum clock, when he looks over, they seem to remain still in a certain way forever. relationship, but when he looked away and looked at it again, the night watchman and the quantum clock had changed to "another set" of still movements.
There is an invisible time fluctuation that is dominating the speed of the entire top floor of the bell tower.
He thought of the still tsunami, maybe the same logic here and there.
After about three minutes like this, Lin Yi finally arrived at a place less than ten meters away from the night watchman while "going around in circles".
It was not until this moment that he saw Lao Mo who had come up from the "corner" of a certain space.
"Hey, Lao Mo!" He frowned with joy. He wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound. However, when he got closer, he realized that a terrifying and strange change had occurred in Lao Mo!
Today, Lao Mo has countless moth-eaten holes in his body, and some particles float out from the holes, and then dissipate in the air waves.
"Old Mo's body is being annihilated!" Lin Yi's heart was beating wildly.
At this moment, Lao Mo also saw him, but when Lao Mo saw him, he clearly found a strong look of surprise in Lao Mo's eyes. Then Lao Mo seemed to have thought of something, and the look of surprise turned into Understand the color of enlightenment.
But that look was still very complicated.
Then, he saw Lao Mo raising his hand that was riddled with holes, holding something that looked like an hourglass or an oil lamp, and motioned to him.
Afterwards, he started playing with the thing on his own.
That thing was the hourglass in the hand of the dormitory. Now the petrified shell had almost peeled off, revealing the appearance of an old kerosene lamp, and in the oil-stained glass cover, the weak wick was slowly swaying.
Around Lao Mo, you can clearly see some flowing particle-like golden aura. They are like clouds, constantly gathering into the glass cover, as if charging the wick.
However, Lin Yi saw Lao Mo, but not Mu Daxian.
If I remember correctly, Lao Mo came to save Mu Daxian, but where was Mu Daxian?
When he walked along, he didn't see Mu Daxian's figure. Could it be that he was in the folds of a certain layer?
After all, Lao Mo only saw it after he came here.
At this moment, he noticed a piece of debris floating next to Lao Mo.
A fragment is like an independent layer.
He looked at the fragment as if looking at the world in the mirror through a broken mirror.
"Wait!! That's...Mu Daxian?!"
