Chapter 382 Danger! ! The night watchman hasn't returned yet!
There seemed to be only the last barrier left between him and the "angel" - the boundless black tsunami!
However, before the existence of persons like "angels", the thickness of the "tsunami" seemed ridiculously thin!
Lin Yi's soul kept trembling. He once had a simple fantasy, imagining what it would be like for a "mortal" to face an "angel", but when he faced it himself Only then did I realize that I had no reaction at all.
He only had the most primitive tremor, and his mind was blank, and he didn't even know what fear was.
Or - even the emotion of fear, from its birth to spreading throughout his consciousness, was not as blank as the blankness at this moment that first came to his cognition.
Overwrite.
His instinct overwrote all the emotions he had at this moment.
Or...delay? !
He suddenly realized something and suddenly looked at his wrist.
The watch on the wrist shows that the time at this moment is——
2:52.
But the pointer was swinging back and forth between the 7th second and the 8th second.
Different from the previous swing that struggled from one second to the next, this time the swing is actually reversed! !
The hands on his watch seemed to have reached the 8th second countless times, but they seemed to be pushed back by an invisible force, reaching a point that was infinitely close to "X023 May 10th 2 :52:08" time! !
"Time...is constantly reversing?!"
"No, it's not reversal, but...prolongation!!"
"Achilles Paradox?!"
< br>The hands are about to reach 2:52:08 countless times, but every time the time is about to arrive, the time that has not been completed stretches a little!
In other words, at this moment, he is in a layer where time is extended infinitely!
"I... am 'building a dream'?!"
Just like "Inception", he is now falling deeper and deeper into the dreamland, and his perception of the outside world's time is getting worse and worse. The slower!
Build your dream!
Lost!
If this continues indefinitely, he will die!
No, he won't die here, he will become...a laughing angel? !
If he didn’t have the watch, he would indeed have sunk, but now that he knows it, he won’t!
"I have to go back! I have to go back!"
"The night watchman just taught me 'backtracking'!"
Lin Yixian learned it and applied it in front of "Angel ”, looking back at the fluctuations of the air waves, and then this ray of consciousness disappeared here...
At 2:52:08, "Angel" arrived at the boundary of the chaotic void. Outside the void, in the black wave, endless gray mist rolled endlessly. In the gray mist, the creeping, twisted, and numbing... The evil figure shrank irregularly...
The "angel" looked at the place where Lin Yi's consciousness disappeared, and did not move for a long time.
【……】
"Angel" seemed to utter some obscure ancient syllables. The sound was blocked by countless layers, as if it had been separated by countless eras. When the sound When it was passed over, it was already muddy and nothing could be heard clearly. There were only two rough syllables left, which sounded like...
[……0……]
【……1……】
……
X023, May 10, 2:52.
The world in front of Lin Yi fell apart. When he regained his vision, there was only a certain surface of the "Temple" with secret patterns floating in front of him.
And his consciousness has regained control of his body.
"Isn't it fun? If you have to vent your anger, let me watch the revolving door of life, right?" Lin Yi seemed to be talking to his instinct, but then he thought about it, it was really evil to tease himself...
He clearly remembered that he seemed to have "faced the "angel"" just now, but he only remembered that he had "faced the "angel"", and the details related to this , but he couldn't remember anything.
It felt like he had lost this memory directly.
I knew I had a spring outing yesterday, but I only knew that I had a spring outing. , I don’t know where I went or what I did.
I don’t even know the slightest details.
It's like playing a word game.
"Could it be that 'I' blocked 'my' memory?"
He tried to recall it, but found that he felt nothing but a trembling feeling.
The delayed fear also disappeared because of his "amnesia".
If you don’t know what it is, you won’t be afraid of nothingness.
The only thing he remembers is time, because time has nothing to do with the other worlds during "Dream Building"!
"Right! Time!!"
He quickly glanced at his watch.
It has been more than ten seconds since he woke up.
The moment he saw the dial, his mind suddenly became clear. His IQ seemed to appear, and he also instantly understood why the time at that time was always so close. "2:52: 08"!
Because at 2;58:08, the "angel" really saw him.
In other words, the fact that "'angel' looked at him" itself is the result of his cognition through logical reasoning of details. However, whether it is Lao Mo or the night watchman, They have all mentioned that once you face an angel directly, you will truly fall into the commandment of "In the abyss of fog and darkness, lost souls chase phantoms".
And his instinct and cognition, through the continuously stretched time scale of one second, allowed him to avoid this matter before it became an established fact.
And now, the Titanic, which was supposed to hit the iceberg, missed it.
Is this a kind of...reversal of the future?
Lin Yi was slightly startled.
Human beings are three-dimensional creatures and cannot perceive the changes in reality caused by the time dimension. But if the scale of time can really interfere with and modify certain futures, would he have just encountered a more complex experience? ...
A certain period of the future was modified by him with countless efforts, but All these modifications over time have disappeared, which means that he may have experienced a timeline that was generated after facing the angel, and finally interfered with that node due to something, thus avoiding the occurrence of the incident, and then because of what should have happened. The thing didn't happen at all, so...he doesn't have that part of the memory?
Wait, what is this...?
Grandfather Paradox?
His head was numb, because this was obviously a very simple thing, but his intuition kept telling him that it was not that simple.
"Is it possible that I have lost some memory under my nose?"
Lin Yi would rather believe that it exists than that it does not exist.
"If that's the case...what can transcend time...wait!!" "Dream!"
While dreaming, his consciousness seemed to be able to go back in time and create some kind of intersection!
The security guard seemed to have discovered some clues, and he had vaguely guessed something!
While repairing the city wall, he seemed to have vaguely foreseen a bad future.
"Future me, are you here?" He murmured quietly, as if he wanted to get some kind of answer.
It must be "I" who faced the "angel", which produced irreversible horrific consequences, and then that "I" arrived just now through the dream, preventing the current "me" from facing the "angel"!
This kind of thing goes against the laws of the world, but Lin Yi is no longer the staunch materialist warrior.
Joke, when you see the whole world like a dough in twisted layers, no firm heart can withstand the melting of high temperature, and then be shaped by the flames into all kinds of them. shape.
He looked up at the world outside the bell tower. Through the floating walls of the bell tower, he could see the chaotic void of the bell tower, but it was different from the situation just now. When he looked out from within the bell tower , it seems that you will be protected by the bell tower field and will not be attracted by the "angels", which greatly reduces the risk of becoming a "mist-covered light chaser".
But once you leave the bell tower and lose your shelter, you will have no safety at all when facing the "angels".
The bell sounded melodiously, and the air waves pushed out. After a while, the air waves began to weaken again, but the night watchman had not woken up yet.
Lin Yi secretly thought something was wrong, why hasn't the night watchman come back yet?
“「02」! 「02」! "
He looked anxiously at the night watchman beside him, but the night watchman stood there as quietly as a stone, completely unmoved.
"It's terrible. ...We agreed to ring the bell once at most. The lingering sound has almost disappeared now. Why haven't you come back yet?"
Lin Yi looked at his current appearance of a gilded mummy and thought that this was not the case. Knock again?
"Ring it again"
When these four words appeared in his mind, he didn't feel any resistance. It seemed that after ringing the bell once, he felt that ringing the "sacred church" Is the difficulty no more than that?
"Am I drifting?"
But now, no matter whether I am drifting or not, the bell can't seem to stop ringing...
Lin Yi gritted his teeth, and the teeth on his bones It made a "clack-clack" sound.
"Knock it on!"
When the aftermath of the air wave was about to completely subside, Lin Yi learned the posture when his body was controlled by instinct, trying to use his powerful extraordinary power to hit the "Temple". However, he did He waved his fist, but the fist did not carry any power...
He hammered the "Temple" easily, so easily that he felt an ominous premonition.
"No! There is a problem!"
The problem is big.
The "Temple" was not struck.
The next moment, the baptism of terror enveloped Lin Yi, and he was about to reenact the scene of being sucked dry by the "Temple".
"Instinct can save me!"
Lin Yi roared in his heart and chose "trusteeship" with ease.
In times of crisis, his instinct lived up to expectations and directly took over his "remnant body" as if shouting "I'm here to help you."
"He", who was about to be sucked to the bell body, suddenly stopped being pulled. At the same time, the three-color aura entangled again, tightly wrapped his body, and then again with overwhelming force. Ringed the "Temple".
"Duang——!!"
Everything seemed to be the same as last time, but Lin Yi felt a hint of uneasiness.
Almost out of some strange feeling, he looked at the hand that struck the bell.
His perception penetrated the three-color aura entangled in his body, and he found that a layer of fine cracks had quietly appeared on his golden arm bones.
The starting point of the crack is a certain layer of secret patterns on the surface of the "Temple" bell body.
"Is this the side effect of ringing the bell?! My body... can only withstand the impact of ringing the bell once, is that what you mean?!"
Lin Yi thought of the night watchman ringing the bell When the clock struck, some particles seemed to be annihilated from his body. Now he suddenly understood that even the night watchman could not withstand the endless frequency of ringing the bell!
It is unimaginable that when the gray fog invades, the night watchman who rings the bell alone is suffering from the erosion of such terrifying power!
However, the second sound disappeared soon, but there was still no response from the night watchman!
"No way, brother!!! I agreed to knock once, but I've finished the second knock! Do you want to come back?"
Feeling the disappearing bell, Lin Yi's heart Slowly sinking to the bottom.
"What should I do...?"
After the second knock, the "golden body" had cracks!
The "golden body" created to withstand the impact of the "Temple's" air waves seems not as strong as imagined...
If he keeps knocking like this, will he die?
"How about... giving up?" An idea came to Lin Yi's mind.
He glanced at the old kerosene lamp not far away, and couldn't help but retreat in his heart...
He originally came to buy one, but now he has bought one and got one free. When benevolence and righteousness are exhausted, there is no need to include a small life in it, right?
How about... take that damn old kerosene lamp and get out of the night watchman's clock tower?
Just when Lin Yi was hesitating, he saw Lao Mo from the corner of his eye from the old kerosene lamp...
Old Mo seemed to be attracted by the second bell, and he was also at the moment. Look at him.
When Lao Mo found Lin Yi looking at the old kerosene lamp, he knew what Lin Yi was thinking.
"Let's go...boy..."
Lao Mo's voice sounded slowly, calm and sincere, but also filled with endless helplessness and bitterness.
"This is...not...a battle...for you alone..."
"Being able to knock...once...you are already...very good..."
>"If you want to leave...just go...don't sacrifice...in vain..."
"Did I hear you right? Lao Mo actually let me run away?" Lin Yi was startled, but when he looked at Lao Mo, it didn't seem like he was trying to provoke him...
But Lao Mo's words undoubtedly played into his hands, and he really wanted to run away...
He then slowly let go of the skeletal hand that was clinging to the "Temple".
But at that time, just like the scene where he had seen the city wall shattered, the gymnasium collapsed, and the boss and physical education teachers died one after another before repairing the city wall, this time, something also appeared in front of him. A quick flashback vision...
He saw an "angel" Breaking through the black wave, the figures covered with scaly substances engraved with evil marks, shining with dark luster, and covered with eye-like tumors, one after another, flooded the art building like iron chains...
