Chapter 376 Bedroom Door
He abandoned distracting thoughts, stopped himself from thinking so much, and tried hard to listen to the voice of the night watchman in his ears...
The night watchman did not find anything unusual, and continued: "We cannot trace who was the first person in history to absorb extraordinary power, but the first person to actively use the absorbed extraordinary power, and gradually explored the use of various breaths The person... is undoubtedly her."
"The green aura faction of the "Black Moon Apostles"..."
"The blue breath faction of "Dawn Walker"..."
"The golden aura faction of "Supreme Judgment"..."
"Wait a minute..."
"The basic knowledge of various factions was laid by her. She found almost all methods and practiced every path..."
"'Mage-Breaking Master', 'Road Builder', 'Extraordinary Person'... She had many honorific titles, but in the end she chose 'Mage-Breaking Master'. ”
When Lin Yi heard this, he said to himself that I can understand this very well. Although the honorific title Master Di sounds strange, it is still much better than "Road Builder".
Who in the right mind calls himself a "road builder"?
"Then how did she become...'a criminal' and be imprisoned in that bedroom?"
The night watchman said: "In the beginning, the 'original apostles' launched one voyage after another in order to explore the mystery of the 'root', but few apostles participated in every voyage...only Mage Di. ”
"Continuous voyages, coupled with her own talents, make her understand the "root" far better than other apostles, and she is more obsessed with pursuing the mystery of the root. ”
"Eventually, the problem broke out for a long time, and she began to have some mental problems. For her safety, the apostles decided to temporarily let her give up her plan to continue the voyage... For this reason, they had huge differences and arguments."
"The final result is that Master Ji failed in the final vote and was left in the outpost."
"This is nothing...but that voyage took a lot of time. It was fine at the beginning, but as time went on, Master Ji gradually became abnormal..."
"When the apostles returned from their voyage, they discovered that there were very serious traces of fighting inside the outpost... Yes, Master Ji had been subdued and imprisoned, but before that, she had killed the companions who were guarding her, and had They were divided into pieces and buried everywhere in the post..."
"That's what the nursery rhyme is about..."
"Later, the remaining "apostles" built a prison for her and imprisoned her there. The prison was in one of the bedrooms. ”
"Unfortunately, so far I have not been able to find where the bedroom is."
Lin Yi pondered: ""02", so the item you are looking for is the 'prison'? ”
The night watchman denied: "Why am I looking for a prison? I am not looking for a prison, but the item I am looking for is theoretically in that bedroom."
"'Theory'?"
"Over the years, I have searched almost the entire art building, and now it seems that the only bedroom left."
"But "02", little girl, no, Master Ji is being held there... If we look for him, are we surrendering ourselves to a trap? ”
The night watchman said: "Don't worry, the 'prison' alone is not enough to lock her up. The real insurance is the 'time exile' set by the 'Dream Builder' for her..."
"Mage Di is now trapped in an infinite dream. Her consciousness has already sunk into the depths of the unknown layer. The hallucinations you have are largely due to the interactions you had with her when you were 'building a dream'. Some of the energy she left behind resonates, as if reading something in a special way, don’t be afraid.”
Lin Yi pursed his lips. He believed what the night watchman said, but he somewhat disagreed here:
"Is it just 'reading'? But I feel like she is talking to me right next to me..."
"Is it penetration at the graph level?"
"The 'Dream Builder' mentioned by '02' should be the ancestor of the 'Dream Building Avenue', one of the first apostles..."
Lin Yi had a strange guess: ""02", you say... could it be because the "Dream Builder" exiled Mage Di, so Mage Di has been trapped in time exile for countless years, but... Her consciousness has been seeping out through the layers It's like... the kind of gas tank that was thrown into the seabed. Although it sank, its pores kept leaking. The gas kept floating upward, shattering countless small bubbles, but it was still absorbed by the upper layer. Are those dream builders absorbed? ”
"So... those dream builders who were accidentally infiltrated by the aura of the Mage, lost their time anchor while building their dreams, and were more or less involved in time exile...?"
< br>
"Hiss..." A gasp came from the night watchman.
"Repeater boy, don't you want to say that... the culprit of the dream-makers getting lost in their dreams is the one who created the dream-building system... the "dream-builder" himself? ”
"I didn't say that, don't slander me!" Lin Yi quickly denied it. It was really unfair. He didn't say anything. He just gave a guess that he had a sudden inspiration.
But the night watchman fell silent.
The silence of the night watchman made Lin Yi's heart even more pounding.
Could it be...?
Ah no...
No way...
Ah this...
"Ahem!!" Lin Yi was quick to think. When he mentioned layer infiltration, he thought of something and quickly changed the topic, "Um, "02"..."
"You said..."
"You just said that the Black Moon Outpost was established to prevent the "source" pollution from infiltrating into the real world. Isn't this somewhere on the earth? Just connected to each other through the penetration between the layers, just like..."
Subconsciously, he wanted to stretch out his hands and make gestures like branches crossing each other, but in his mind, he couldn't make this movement.
The topic of the night watchman was successfully changed: "Yes at first, but soon after the Black Moon Outpost was built, with the understanding of the "root" brought by the voyage of the "first apostles", they foresaw the "root" It would cause harm, so he managed to drag the outpost and the world of this layer into a space layer deeper than the real world. You can think of it as some kind of inner world. ”
"The "first apostles" used this method to banish the "root"... In other words, it can be regarded as "space banishment".
"In this way, even if the power of the root invades the other world, there will still be Black Moon Outpost as the outpost of destruction..."
"It can be said that if the world is destined to be destroyed, then our Black Moon Outpost must be the first to be destroyed."
"But in other words, if the deployment of Black Moon Outpost cannot resist the invasion of gray fog, no force in the real world will be enough to resist or even contain it."
When Lin Yi heard this, his expression was solemn. At this moment, he found that his consciousness suddenly entered an unknown layer. The whole process was extremely smooth, as simple as eating and drinking...
When he came back to his senses, he found that he had appeared in the depths of a dimly lit corridor. In front of him was a rusty iron door.
The iron door stood there alone, like a watcher in a forgotten corner of the world. The iron door was covered with rust, and the reddish-brown rust stains spread like some kind of evil disease, one by one, with different shades, as if It is the traces painted carelessly by the decaying brushes of time.
On the edge of the door, layers of rust have peeled off, revealing the rough and uneven metal surface inside, like gnawed bones, exuding an aura of oldness and decay. The original color on the door has long been difficult to discern. Only this patch of mottled rust was left, showing a strange hue in the weak candlelight.
There was a cold atmosphere surrounding the door, and the darkness seemed to have substance, seeping out from the cracks in the iron door. Those cracks were like narrow eyes, peering indifferently and eerily at the outside world.
Occasionally, a faint breeze blew by, the candlelight swayed gently, and the iron door began to make a slight "creak" sound. The sound seemed particularly harsh in the silence, like the pain of a chronically ill person. The moan was like the low cry of some unknown creature hiding in the darkness, which made people feel creepy and shuddering.
Looking in from the iron gate, there is a deeper darkness, like a bottomless black hole. It seems that if you take a step closer, you will be swallowed by the endless darkness and sink into this cold and strange abyss prison forever. in...
Two pieces of iron were nailed to both sides of the iron gate like Spring Festival couplets. The material seemed to be somewhat similar to the piece of iron on the iron gate in front of the bell tower entrance, and there were some similar notches on it.
It’s just that these scratches have long been corroded by rust, and nothing can be seen clearly.
His intuition told him that behind the door was the bedroom.
""02"...? "Lin Yi called softly.
"I'm..." The night watchman's voice was very low, and also revealed some caution.
"We seem to have arrived..."
"I know...because I've never been here."
"What do we do next?"
"You ask me this?"
"I..."
"How did you get in before?"
"The last time I had a clear vision, I was already in that bedroom...so what should I do now?"
"I don't know either..." the night watchman said, "You'd better not open the door without authorization. Anything with the property of a 'door' here, unless you are very sure, you must be careful..."
"You seem to be trying to persuade me to quit?"
The night watchman replied solemnly and calmly: "When we do things, we always make sure that there will be no accidents before taking action. Try it and see if your consciousness can penetrate. If not, stop here."
Lin Yi was surprised and puzzled by the night watchman's sudden change of attitude.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
The night watchman said: "Because what you just said reminded me... the will of Master Ji has been permeating the layers. I think this is the reason why I have not been able to find the bedroom for countless years."
"She hid the bedroom and only let some special people in... If she wanted us to go in, we could go in..."
"Isn't this extremely dangerous?"
The night watchman shook his head: "When she has been able to invade part of the real world, it means that there is no 'safe' state for you and me. I guess she can't penetrate from the "time exile" yet. Everything here is It was preset by the extraordinary power she once left behind, just like some kind of self-protection and external detection mechanism..."
"Then why did she let me in? Is there anything special about me?"
"Are you special, ask me? There is something wrong with your brain. If your reason cannot allow you to judge the accuracy of something, then you should try to follow your instinct... Just like the "Temple" inspired the first When there is a wave of air, your body does not remember to react. Many choices should be made by your instinct, so you might as well give it a try now. ”
"Get close to that door. If you feel danger or subconscious resistance... we will leave immediately and I will protect you."
After the night watchman said this, Lin Yi no longer hesitated and immediately responded: "Okay."
As soon as he realized something, he slowly approached the iron door...
"Ding! Ding! Ding..."
In his mind, the thin figure who was constantly beating some kind of weapon suddenly appeared in his mind.
After a flash, he had appeared in front of the iron door.
An incredible reaction appeared. Before, when he was looking at the iron gate from a distance, he had felt chills running down his spine, but when he came to the iron gate, his mood was unusually calm, and his instincts seemed to have been tamed. down.
He stood quietly in front of the iron gate, letting the rusty smell invade his nasal cavity, like a strange traveler returning to a familiar place after countless years. Same.
The corridor outside the door is still the same as before. There are old large water tanks piled in the corner. There is no water in the water tank, but there are some dusty farm tools stuck in it, and there are a few old wooden boards beside it.
The foot mat at the door is still the same as before, the pattern is so worn that the pattern can no longer be seen clearly, and the corner near the door is still a little curled.
The wall next to the door is still the same as before. Several pieces of the wall have peeled off, revealing the rough cement wall inside. Small advertisements for unlocking doors and sealing balconies were once posted on the wall, and some small advertisements are still torn off. The remaining bottom cannot be removed no matter how hard it is.
It seemed that when the door opened, there was family behind it.
"'Family...people'?"
"What is that...?"
Lin Yi felt that he was suddenly confused. His mind was foggy, and then some pictures appeared in his mind unconsciously. When he came home from school when he was a child, he couldn't wait to throw away his schoolbag as soon as he got home, and then read comic books at home. , but my family...
"Where is the family?"
"What is family...?"
