Chapter 377 "The Mage's Bedroom"
Everything about "home" flashed back in his mind...
In the spacious living room, the TV was playing the plot in "Shuiyue Cave" where Doudou smashed Xue Ruyi and then the entire Shuiyue Cave was frozen.
In the tidy kitchen, clean dishes and chopsticks are neatly placed in the cupboards.
In the cozy bedroom, the quilts were neatly stacked, and the scene of Lele entering Happy Planet in "Happy Planet" was playing on the computer on the desk beside the bed.
There are many clothes hanging on the clothes drying pole outside the balcony, swaying gently with the wind...
It was a very normal and ordinary home, but he always felt that there was an indescribable sense of violation somewhere...
He quickly thought that there seemed to be no one in the house except him. There were all kinds of kitchen utensils and tableware in the kitchen, but there were no dishes, not even a bag of rice. The clothes hanging outside on the balcony had already dried. Over time, the texture of the fabric has been lost due to exposure to wind and sun, and the TV playing in the living room and bedroom seems more like creating an illusion of "someone".
He seemed to feel the indifference of this house. He felt lost and confused, looking at all this like a lost child.
His eyes were slightly moist, and a sour feeling spread in his heart. But at this moment, he suddenly understood the source of the sense of dissonance - there was a home here, at least like a home, but there was no one. people!
Compared with "home", this place is more like a kind of cage, a kind of prison, a kind of...isolated exile!
"Boom——"
The flashing picture in his mind disappeared, and his attention fell back on the rusty iron door in front of him. The rust marks on the door were like a face that was crying and laughing, sneering, crying, and... What are you looking at crazily...
[Children, hide and seek~hide one or two~]
[The little yard is a great place~brothers and sisters hide themselves...]
Lin Yi's ears rang with the tender twang of a little girl humming nursery rhymes, and suddenly there was a feeling of being touched on the back of his hand, as if a cold little hand was gently placed on his hand...
The next moment, his hand, which was hanging in the air in front of the iron door, was gently pushed to the door.
During the whole process, Lin Yi's mind was in a state of confusion. He was like a passer-by watching his palm being pushed to the door by this invisible force.
When his palm touched the door, his consciousness seemed to have turned into countless tiny quicksands, penetrating through the non-existent "gaps" in the iron door and seeping into the world behind the door... …
As soon as he entered the door, a low roar sounded in his ears. At the same time, the shape of a terrifying giant bear suddenly flashed in front of Lin Yi with a face-opening look!
【Ouch——! ! 】
The fur of the giant bear was like rough white armor, exuding a cold luster in front of him.
Its body was huge beyond imagination, and every muscle was like a boulder rolling under the skin, containing the power to destroy everything. Its eyes were small but flashed with a fierce and crazy light. It looked towards Lin Yi Zhang He opened his bloody mouth, revealing a row of sharp and yellowed fangs. Saliva dripped from between the teeth, and his fishy breath blew onto Lin Yi's face like a blower...
But just when it was about to rush to Lin Yi, a golden wave of air surged out like an overwhelming mountain, suppressing the form of the snow-white giant bear.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." The night watchman's voice rang in Lin Yi's ears in real time, but Lin Yi could not find the night watchman's location, and those golden air waves also spurted out from his body.
"My will stays in your consciousness along with the air waves through the power of the "Temple"... Go and see this room. ”
As the form of the snow-white giant bear disappeared, an oversized white stuffed bear doll appeared in Lin Yi's eyes on the chair beside the bed.
"That one just now...couldn't it be this stuffed bear?"
"It's hard to say otherwise. Everything in this bedroom requires extra care." The night watchman's voice rang in his heart.
Lin Yi pursed his lips and remained silent. He subconsciously touched the back of his hand. The back of his hand was cold, as if he had just applied an ice pack.
""02", when I entered the door, did you feel anything unusual? ”
"Abnormal? I thought you were 'invited' to the door? Isn't it...?"
Lin Yi was silent for a moment and confessed: "I don't know either..."
But he thought of the feeling of being guided by "people" to open the door before entering, and subconsciously muttered: "Maybe... you can force it? Forget it, no matter, here..."
"It's the 'bedroom' I told you about before. Can you see if it's the one you're looking for?"
Lin Yi's premonition at the door was correct. Behind the rusty iron door, there was "really" a very cozy bedroom decorated in pink and blue.
The last time he appeared here, he saw the stuffed bear and the photo frame, and before he could take a few more glances, he was pulled out of this layer by the night watchman who had a premonition of the crisis.
"That's right...it's right here." The tone of the night watchman was akin to the "Oh~that'sit~" that the doctor who often receives lunch in movies about tomb exploration says when he sees some kind of treasure.
After receiving the night watchman's approval, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but said: "In that case, then what about the reward we agreed on before, ah, isn't it, the 'final payment'...?"
The night watchman couldn't help but dumbfounded: "Repeater boy... Why are you still thinking about this at this time? Hey, okay, okay, when you leave, I will give you the remaining 'final payment' as soon as possible , fulfill the agreement I made with that guy, okay?”
Lin Yi chuckled: "As long as you still remember..."
The night watchman was a little helpless, thinking that you are so humane, and you don’t look like the kind of person who needs to use “profit” as an anchor to anchor “human nature”...
But when he thought about Lin Yi's words "beautiful legs in stockings" when he mentioned his ideals and pursuits, he felt that things really weren't that simple...
After all, that guy at the time also kept talking about beautiful legs in stockings, and said such unflattering words as "what apostle, what is the origin, only beautiful legs in stockings is absolute justice", and even reportedly proposed to reform the uniforms of relevant school staff. Class nonsense...
Isn’t it true that the more special a person is, the more out of place they are?
Also, what exactly is "human nature"?
The night watchman stopped talking and silently followed Lin Yi's "perspective" to observe the bedroom.
""02"... Do you see what you are looking for? "Lin Yi asked in a low voice. Putting aside the concepts of space folding and hidden layers, this room is only so big, so it shouldn't be difficult to find it.
The night watchman said: "Don't worry, let's take another look..."
Lin Yi glanced at his watch.
2:33. "There's still half an hour... If you say you're not in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
Suddenly, Lin Yi saw a face on the ceiling from the reflection of the watch case...
"Holy shit?! "02"! ceiling! ”
He shouted, and in order to provide the night watchman with a "perspective", he looked up!
However, there was nothing on the sky-blue painted ceiling.
"Nothing, what did you see just now?" the night watchman asked.
"I saw a blurry face in the reflection of the watch..."
"Could you have seen it wrong? Maybe it's you? Your current appearance is quite terrifying. It's hard to say whether you're wrong or not."
When reminded by the night watchman, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. His current appearance was still the same "faceless" appearance with some irrelevant outlines. He had a sense of déjà vu like the King of No-Face in "Ouchi 00 Shots". Who was it? When they see it, they will say they are confused.
"I..."
"Okay, you must have 'mistakenly read'." The night watchman's tone was a little heavy, as if he was emphasizing something.
Lin Yi's heart trembled, as if he understood something, and quickly responded: "Then I must have seen it wrong... After all, the light here is not very good..."
He continued to observe, but the more he observed, the more strange and unnatural he felt.
I don't know if there are windows in the bedroom, but there are light blue curtains hanging where the windows should exist. It seems that some light shines through the gaps in the curtains, forming dots of light on the ground.
There is an exquisite small bookshelf next to the window, filled with colorful fairy tale books. The gilded letters on the spines shimmer in the light.
The edges of some pages were slightly yellowed and curled, as if they had been rubbed repeatedly by something, and when he got closer, he could smell a faint rancid smell, which seemed to be emanating from the gaps in the pages.
However, as Lin Yi observed carefully, he would find something strange in it. There was a rabbit painted on the bed sheet, and the embroidery thread on the eyes seemed a bit messy, which made the rabbit's eyes reveal an indescribable madness. The smile of the stuffed bear doll is a little too exaggerated, as if it has been forcibly pulled apart, and its small black eyes look like they are secretly peeping into every corner of the room from certain angles...
< br>
Moreover, the cartoon pattern of the snow-white rabbit made it difficult for people to tell whether it was a rabbit or a big white bear.
The pink paint on the wall has some irregular dark stains near the corners, as if it hides some ulterior secret.
On the small rug next to the bed, the originally soft fluff was tangled together in some places, forming small whirlpools, like a hidden entrance to the depths of darkness.
The chandelier above the head is the only chandelier used in the entire art building, but there will be a slight rustling sound from the lampshade from time to time, as if something is squirming restlessly inside.
On the dressing table in the bedroom, Lin Yi found an exquisite music box...
"Amon's Music Box".
The box of the music box was closed, and the clockwork stopped rotating. It seemed that it had been placed there and never left.
"It is indeed "Amon's Music Box", but don't be afraid..."
"Isn't this scary?"
"If you think about it carefully, not many of the things in this bedroom are actually normal. For example, if I had to give some names, the one over there would be "Mage Di's bear doll" and "Mage Di's cute little bed." , "The Master's Lolita Set"..."
"Hey, I don't feel sleepy when you say Lolita!"
Lin Yi was about to cry, but forced a smile. He finally understood. The night watchman comforted people not by saying, "Don't be afraid," but by saying, "Don't be afraid of this thing. Most of the things here are no worse than it." br>
Because there are many more terrifying things, so in comparison, things that are originally scary are relatively less scary... No, there is something wrong with this logic. 02 You really don’t know it!
Lin Yi was even more panicked. This room was full of forbidden extraordinary creations!
You're being fucked by the "first apostle", right?
It really feels like Taishang Laojun’s waistband is all covered with gold rope!
His eyes moved and he was suddenly attracted to the gap in the curtains. Then he couldn't help but wonder why he didn't take a good look at this gap just now. There seemed to be a painting behind it...ah wait, that's what the night watchman mentioned. That’s a painting, right?
"Is that painting... related to the item you are looking for?" Lin Yi asked weakly.
"Don't take me with you if you want to die." The night watchman replied coldly.
Lin Yi quickly shrank his neck.
The night watchman explained: "That 'picture' is the prison where Master Ji was exiled. The 'picture' is just a re-established cognition. In fact, it is an abyss world with countless layers, and her The real body is imprisoned in one of the layers.”
"An adult once said that it would be okay to take a look, but since that adult is the most talkative among the "original apostles" and loves telling hellish jokes the most, I don't believe what he said..."
Lin Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, and suddenly felt that the guy the night watcher was talking about was somewhat lowered by an existence at the level of "the original apostle"...
"Ah, by the way, there is a photo frame! I wonder if it will be helpful to you?"
"Where is the picture frame?" asked the night watchman.
"It's on the desk!" Lin Yi said, and slowly approached the desk next to the bookshelf. However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed and he gasped.
"Why, don't be surprised. I saw the photo frame. Is that the one?" Here, the night watchman's perception seems to be very limited, and he often needs to use Lin Yi's perspective to observe.
"That's right, that's right..." Lin Yi's eyes stared at the photo frame on the desk like a ghost, his tone was dry and trembling, "But if I remember correctly, the last time I 'came' here When we were there, that photo frame wasn’t facing away from us.”
On the desk, a photo frame was facing away from Lin Yi's perspective, as if someone didn't want him to see it, so they deliberately carried it away.
The atmosphere in the bedroom slowly dropped to freezing point at this moment, and a chilling feeling quietly spread...
