Chapter 370 "Temple", "Mingzhao", and "Time Zero"
"They are obsessed with the world, because this is their world, and they crave extraordinary power, because this makes their limited journey back More lasting... If you get lost in the endless time loop, you will return to the world in the form of a smiling angel."
"Smiling Angel...?" Lin Yi's pupils shrank fiercely. After a moment, "Is this the essence of the Laughing Angel?"
"But their number...are there too many Dream Builders? Is it because they cannot be completely killed?"
< br>"The Laughing Angels cannot be completely killed, they are manifestations of extraordinary power penetrating the layers" - He thought of the original words that Lao Mo once said, and that was to the effect. It turned out that this was the relationship between the Night Watchman and Lao Mo. Said.
"There are not many of them." The night watchman denied, "Many times they are the same one, or the same batch. They are just souls that penetrate the layer and possess the bodies of people in the world, and they themselves cannot come back at all."
"Like a network terminal? No, WiFi? A trance?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
The night watchman didn’t know what WiFi was, but when he heard the seance, he nodded slightly.
The souls of dreamers are trapped in different dimensions. They take the form of laughing angels and use the bodies of hostels or other people as mediums to come to the present world... just like they fell into It's like the undead in a foreign land want to come back...
I don't know why, when I think about it this way, I actually feel a kind of compassion for the Laughing Angel.
They were once sacrificed to fight against the invasion of gray mist, but now they have become a "hostile" party.
"So the same is true for those dormitory wardens who have become laughing angels..."
The night watchman said: "The lost souls are attached to the people in this world, and the extraordinary power forms them Armor, those people in this world become possessed by the soul of the dreamer. As time goes by, the possessed people will also be polluted. "Assimilate and die."
"The young man Mo Xiaozi is interested in..." The night watchman pointed to the mirror-like wall, where the torn apart Mu Daxian was in the layer, "I remember. He is becoming the "Black Moon Apostle"... No, what do they call it..."
"Oh, "art student". ”
"Before he became an art student, he used to be a 'dormitory warden', but while he became a dormitory warden, he exhausted the extraordinary power of the kerosene lamp used to maintain his own safety, and was infiltrated by the soul of the dreamer, becoming a A smiling angel. "
"But he was very lucky. Not only was he saved by the sports student, but he was also successfully brought here by Mo Xiaozi and became an 'art student'. "
< br> "However, perhaps it is because he once became the container of the Laughing Angel. His thirst and desire for the extraordinary are extremely strong... He has pursued my companions several times to fight against the gray fog. His will is particularly firm, but firm But the direction is wrong."
"He wants to pursue a deeper level of 'pollution'..."
"I can see that he actually enjoys the power of the 'Smiling Angel'. , he himself is a soul chasing phantoms, and his fanaticism is no different from that of those fanatical believers. The only difference is that he still retains his humanity."
"It is precisely because of this that I gave him the opportunity to pursue our 'holy icon'... But now it seems that he has failed."
"Boy Mo may be able to save him, maybe save him No."
"But it has nothing to do with you anymore."
It has nothing to do with him anymore. He is now a mud Buddha who cannot save himself...
Lin Yi took a breath: "Then if I'm 'building a dream', how do I know the passage of time? If I don't know, will I die in my dream too?"
"Yes." The Night Watcher said, "This is a risk that any dream builder needs to take, but I will penetrate your perception through the "Temple" to ensure that your perception characteristics are amplified to a level sufficient to match that item. . "
"Then...can I refuse your request? I don't want to die yet..." In the face of absolute authority, Lin Yi chose to confess. After all, he only had one life, and he had no intention of leaving it to the great cause that the night watcher said.
"People will remember Live your sacrifice. "
"But I don't have the consciousness to sacrifice yet..." Lin Yi wanted to say that from the beginning of joining the school, what he thought about was how to leave, not how to sacrifice...
If I had known earlier If his life was in danger, there was no way he would come here.
The night watchman was silent for a moment, but the young dreamer in front of him seemed to be...different from the person "he" mentioned.
Is there a mistake?
But now the arrow is on the string and he has no choice but to shoot. He has no other choice except Lin Yi.
"Since you don't want to die, then what are you doing here?"
"Old Mo brought me here..."
"This is not your answer."
Lin Yi: "..."
"You want to come, so he can bring you here."
Lin Yi sipped Pursing his lips: "I myself naturally want to see Let’s take a look at the legendary Art Building..."
"I understand..." the night watchman said, "You have been "called by the Art Building", just like the dream builders of the past... Then what do you see now? How do you feel when you arrive at the Art Building? ”
"It's incredible..."
"What you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg... Do you want to see the world under the ice?"
Hearing this, Lin Yi felt his chest Li's heart couldn't help but beat loudly.
"The world under the ice...? What is that?"
"Black Moon Outpost, and even the current invasion..."the true appearance". "The corners of the night watchman's mouth raised slightly.
From this moment on, he knew that he had captured Lin Yi.
A person who dares to break into the art building like this is no different from a "fog-covered light chaser" to a certain extent. They were unmoved before just because they didn't see the "thing" that was enough to drive him crazy. Light".
The world is like a huge picture covered with gray cloth. The night watchman handed a corner of the gray cloth to Lin Yi's hand.
He wanted to uncover this layer of canvas, and the thought made his soul and body tremble with excitement.
The night watchman said nothing, the flames had been thrown into the explosives, and all he had to wait for was just a gorgeous explosion.
However, although Lin Yi's body was trembling and trembling, and his instinct had begun to expect, he gritted his teeth with willpower and drove every muscle in his body to restrain his desire.
Finally, he spoke slowly:
"I... don't want to see it."
When he said this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
He could hear the bewitching voice echoing in his ears, like the whisper of a devil, tempting him to sign a contract of betrayal from hell.
The night watchman was slightly startled.
The imagined explosion did not happen. It seemed that a little boy extinguished the fuse by urinating.
Lin Yi's face was very pale. What was more tiring than the battle between heaven and man was defeating himself.
At this moment, he was like a cultivator who was the first to stand in front of the gate of immortality when the gate of ascension first opened, but rejected the opportunity to ascend to heaven.
He tried his best to lower his head, and then looked at the quartz watch on his wrist: "It's already 2:14...I think there's not much time...I...should go back soon Already..."
He lowered his head and glanced at his watch. The time at the moment was 2:14. Once he got the old kerosene lamp in Lao Mo's hand, he should go back... Although there were many secrets in the Night Watch, the risk of obtaining them was too high. Tian Bufan also has a lot on hand, and he can get it when he returns to the dormitory next time.
Comparing the two, he will naturally choose to avoid risks.
And as for the Night Watchman...his instinct told him that he should agree to the Night Watchman's request, but his reason told him...that he would die.
You will definitely die.
Hearing the word "time", the night watchman's eyes staring outside the bell tower slowly turned around, and then followed Lin Yi's line of sight and landed on Lin Yi's wrist...
"Boom——"
At this moment, whether it was the thunder that drowned everything, or the waves in the night watchman's heart, Lin Yi felt that the whole space was shaking violently.
"That's...?!"
The night watchman's voice made waves as never before.
He looked at Lin Yi.
This is also the first time Lin Yi has looked at the night watchman in this sense.
He saw an outline as resolute as a rock. The night watchman's face seemed to be full of cracked marks, like a piece of scorched earth where the water source had dried up for countless years. In such a scorched earth, that A pair of golden eyes burned like fire.
This terrifying sense of oppression, as if he was staring at the lord in hell, Lin Yi felt that his soul was about to be ignited, and there was an even stronger feeling on the wrist where the night watchman was watching. There was a strong burning sensation, as if he was about to be burned through.
"I understand..." There was a hint of complicated emotions in the night watchman's voice, "So that's it... So that's it... Is this really the only step left?"
Lin Yi's heart was slightly shaken, and he didn't understand what the night watchman understood.
The night watchman finally looked at him: "Since you brought it here... then you have to help me if you don't want to help me."
"But you don't need it. Too worried, I only need to borrow your time for 'one hour'. If we can't find the location of the item within an hour, you can send it back immediately."
"After an hour, it will be no more than 3 o'clock. , you have enough time to leave the art building."
"How?"
Lin Yi pursed his lips. He didn't know why. He felt that the night watchman originally planned to forcefully recruit him to work. The reason why his tone was so tactful seemed to be related to his watch...
This watch... ...It seems that there is something extraordinary about being able to display the time in a dream. Could it be that the night watchman saw the secret of the watch at a glance, so - wait! This watch can show the real time in dreams!
That is to say, just wearing it can solve the problem of losing time scale when building dreams?
In this way, you will not be exiled because of the issue of "time"?
"I... don't seem to have the qualifications to refuse." Lin Yi responded bitterly.
He may not have been able to refuse from the beginning.
In the face of absolute power and power, consultation is just a manifestation of kindness.
That’s all.
“Come to me.” The night watchman beckoned, “The aura of the ‘Temple’ will make your senses spread all over the art building, but don’t follow the crowd... I will give you some guidance, and you can take it with you. This guides you to perceive the world. Once there is a fluctuation in that item, I will stop you in time. "
""Temple"...? "Lin Yi walked towards the position pointed by the night watchman, and followed the movement of the night watchman and looked at..."Quantum Clock".
"Is the name of this thing... called 'Temple'?"
"That's really strange..."
"This bell is called "Temple" and it was made by a divine craftsman One of the three extraordinary creations, used to stabilize the layer where the Black Moon Outpost is located..."
"The other two are the ancient blue lantern "Mingzhao" used to stabilize the space, and the stable time of..."
He took a deep look at the quartz watch on Lin Yi's wrist.
"Time compass "hour zero". "
"Gudong..." Lin Yi swallowed secretly.
It turns out that the name of the ancient green lantern held by the night watchman standing on the cliff is "Mingzhao"?
And the remaining time compass called "hour zero"...
"Why is he staring at my watch like this? Could it be that my watch also has a time compass similar to it? Extraordinary characteristics? 》
"But this watch is just... just..."
This watch was just given to him by his father, but for some reason, every time Lin Yi recalled his "family" in his mind, he would feel unusually ethereal.
This feeling of nothingness has become more and more serious recently.
It seems that after entering the campus, you will really be forgotten by the outside world.
He sat down at the place pointed by the night watchman - directly under the quantum clock "Temple".
"Is there anything that needs attention about this matter?" He looked at the night watchman and asked.
The night watchman said: "There is only one thing that needs to be remembered..."Believe me" and give me "absolute trust". "
"'Absolute...trust'? "Lin Yi murmured, thoughtfully.
"In dreams, identity is particularly important. You need an identity to communicate with me, so from now on, I will call you 'Repeater'. "The night watchman said, "And you can call me... "02". "
"'02'?" Lin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that I am still "01"...
But he would never be able to say this because he was too senior.
"Are you ready?" the night watchman's voice sounded in his ears.
Lin Yi took a deep breath: "Ready."
"Okay." The night watchman responded, and then just like last time, there was a powerful and extraordinary wave. The power slammed into the body of the giant quantum clock "Temple".
「Duang——!!!」
Terrifying air waves surged out, and the body of the nearest night watchman was temporarily out of frame. Lin Yi, who was directly under the quantum clock, felt a heavy feeling that could not be described in words, like the sky. It collapsed and then hit his spine hard!
That wave of air fell on him like a sound wave!
At that moment, Lin Yi felt that he was about to be shattered to pieces!
