Chapter 407 Lin Yi... "Ashes Apostle"?
The security guard asked: "Do you carry your student ID card with you?"
Female dormitory manager: "I always carry it with me."
The security guard nodded slightly: "Okay."
After he said that, he took the old kerosene lamp from the female dormitory into his hand. At the same time, he also grabbed the female dormitory's left hand and rolled up her sleeve.
On her wrist, there is an identity document, which is clearly her dormitory manager's certificate. On the certificate, her number is vaguely visible: "Board Manager-36-X0230507012".
The security guard spoke slowly, and his majestic voice seemed to have some unspeakable magic: "I will deprive you of the identity of "Board Manager-36-X0230507012". From this moment on, you will restore your identity before you became a Board Manager." ”
His words were like an order. As he spoke, gray aura evaporated from the female dormitory's body, like a hardened iron.
At the same time, Lin Yi heard the muttering of the female dormitory in the gray aura: "My name is Zhao Lingxiao, my student ID number is "X0230507012", I am at the counter on the first floor of the library, Next to the security guard..."
"My name is Zhao Lingxiao, my student ID number is "X0230507012", I..."
"My name is..."
As the gray aura dissipated, the female hostel, no, Zhao Lingxiao appeared in front of him.
There is not much difference between Zhao Lingxiao's appearance and that of the dormitory supervisor, but he gives the impression that he has more "life", instead of being pale and lifeless like the dormitory supervisor.
But there was one thing that made him a little dissatisfied, but he felt it was reasonable——
The security guard said that Zhao Lingxiao's dormitory manager number was "dormitory manager-36-X0230507012", but when Zhao Lingxiao was in the elevator, he said to himself "dormitory manager-33-X0230507012".
Damn you, you lied about the floor!
He simply used all his few tricks to deal with him!
Of course, this makes sense.
But judging from this one detail, Zhao Lingxiao seems to be a newbie with some sophisticated operations, but in fact he is more than sophisticated, he is simply extremely shrewd, using a delicate appearance to hide all his little thoughts. Get up.
Looking at it this way, there is probably something about the confidentiality agreement...
After all, since the confidentiality agreement is signed, how can anyone let it slip?
The only explanation is that she seemed careless and quick-tongued, but in fact she was thoughtful and might want to get some information out of him.
Even the "lustful heart" may be a disguise!
I would like to ask, which gentleman can remain absolutely vigilant against a delicate girl who "hides a lustful heart"?
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi had just discovered at this moment that Zhao Lingxiao had taken advantage of all the conditions he could take advantage of!
It was extremely possible that she was deliberately being chased by that dummy!
Otherwise, how can we explain that she is not even afraid of fanatic believers, but is afraid of a hypocrite?
Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly felt that everything made sense, but this Zhao Lingxiao... just met him in the elevator, and he came up with so many things according to circumstances?
How terrible!
It's really terrible!
At this time, Zhao Lingxiao seemed to feel Lin Yi's eyes that wanted to peel her off and look at her thoroughly. He couldn't help blinking a pair of watery eyes, and his warped eyelashes trembled slightly: "You...why do you look like that?" Follow me?”
Lin Yi shouted in his heart, you are a monster, if I hadn't seen through your conspiracy, I would have almost been deceived by your weak appearance!
"It's nothing..." When he opened his mouth, it was like a bitch, "I'm just shocked that you leaked so much air just now..."
"Get lost!!" Zhao Lingxiao showed his true colors and shouted angrily at Lin Yi, "I didn't know he would spit out so much air!"
Lin Yi curled his lips, thinking that Zhao Lingxiao's words now have to be read twice to confirm whether they are true or false.
At this time, the security guard seemed to sense something and said: "It's time to go."
After saying that, he didn't care about anything, turned around and walked back the way he came.
When he turned around, Lin Yi heard a "crash" sound. After taking a closer look, he discovered that a black and shiny iron chain extended from the windbreaker under him. The iron chain was very thick, like It is used on some ships to connect anchors.
The extended parts of the chain were grasped in the hands of the chefs in black bibs.
Zhao Lingxiao followed the chef in the black bib and reached out to grab one section of the chain.
Lin Yi quickly followed and imitated her and grabbed a piece of the chain.
Just when he grabbed the chain, the security guard's steps suddenly stopped.
"Are you planning to leave too?"
The security guard turned his head slightly, and the sideways look on his face made Lin Yi feel a mountain-like pressure.
"Uh...yes, yes." Lin Yi nodded dully, "Can't I leave?"
"It's nothing... I haven't seen the "Ash Apostle" for a long time, I thought you would stay. "The security guard said lightly, and then continued walking.
""Ash Apostle"? Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. Are you talking about him?
But what does this mean...
"'Ashes Apostle'...?" Hearing the security guard's words, almost all the chefs in black bibs turned around and glanced at Lin Yi, making Lin Yi feel a little embarrassed.
Zhao Lingxiao also looked at Lin Yi in surprise.
Lin Yi pursed his lips, feeling unnaturally embarrassed and couldn't help but buckle the toes in his sneakers.
It's not that he is thin-skinned, it's just that he is very reluctant to get to know them in such a candid manner at a time when a sense of ceremony is urgently needed.
Lin Yi came closer to Zhao Lingxiao and whispered: "Hey..."
"What are you doing?" Zhao Lingxiao asked impatiently.
Lin Yi humbly asked for advice: “What is the ‘Ash Apostle’? ”
"I don't know either..."
"I wonder why you are shocked?"
"No matter what the security guard said about you at that time, I would be shocked, that's all."
"Damn..." Lin Yi curled his lips, "Is your performance so important?"
"If it were you and you said, 'Look, there's a dog over there,' I would have opened my eyes wide and looked at it."
"Thank you, I feel offended."
Lin Yi said and drew his attention back, because the security guard had already led them into a place in the book collection area.
He opened his eyes wide and tried to see through the boundary of the orange-yellow light, but all he saw was nothing more than acres of bookshelves, and it felt like he was walking through the bookshelf area. But this bookshelf area gave him a feeling that was completely different from the "normal" library.
"Is it a 'layer jump'?" Lin Yi had this conjecture in his mind.
They quickly disappeared into this corner, and then the spreading darkness began to shrink until everything returned to normal.
On May 10, 2023, at 5:01, the first floor of the library fell silent again, leaving only the figures of fanatic believers wandering in the bookshelf area, trembling as they looked at the corner that had long since returned to normal from a long distance away.
At 5:01:34, the elevator on the first floor of the library opened, and an embarrassed figure rushed out. Looking at the security team that had disappeared long ago, he kept shouting something...
X023, May 10th, on the "?" floor of the library, deep in an unknown spacious room.
The inner wall of the room is covered with LED light tubes, and the blue-white light fills the entire room.
There are many movable bookshelves in the room, and at this moment, all of these books are placed haphazardly.
There are messy books on the messy bookshelves, and some books are still open there, as if they were deliberately opened and placed there.
But even in such a messy environment, there is a large area in the middle.
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
In that area, there were only a group of people and a huge experimental platform.
The number of those people was about seven, and most of them were old people with a stooped figure. Their hair was gray and sparsely attached to their scalps, like barren grass in winter, and their faces were covered with deep wrinkles.
The leader had a pair of thick black-framed glasses on his tall nose, and the eyes behind the lenses were sharp and fiery that was completely different from his appearance.
He was holding a book and chanting obscure and lengthy language. While reading, he observed a vessel on the corner of the experimental table.
Several people around him were chanting similar syllables to him, like a choir.
And in the vessel in front of them, there was a sculptural severed limb.
Just from the twisted outline of the severed limb, it is impossible to tell what the object is. It just looks like a sculpture of some kind of weird vine, or some cult sculpture full of dark retro style.
As he chanted, some faint light continued to float on the severed limb, as if some kind of raw stone full of strange power was responding to the call of magic.
The old man's reciting voice became more and more hoarse, and fine beads of sweat began to seep out of his wrinkled forehead. It seemed that just reading the words from the book had consumed a lot of his mental energy and made his whole body feel refreshed. Shaking like a candle in the wind.
The people around him were also swaying, looking like they were teetering but not falling, like seaweeds standing in the sea.
Eventually, the light floating on the severed limb began to restrain, and began to breed a golden light inside it.
Seeing the appearance of that golden light, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement, as if a sparrow born in the night could not help but feel overwhelmed after seeing the newborn crescent moon
The voices they sang became more and more unified and louder, and the light in the severed limbs became more and more concentrated and bright
With a "click" sound, the severed limb was suddenly covered with cracks!
This severed limb actually seemed to be a mysterious egg, and they seemed to be using singing to speed up the hatching of unknown things in the egg!
Seeing such cracks, they became more and more excited, and the enthusiasm and expectation in their eyes could no longer be described in words.
However, just when the light reached its peak, the cracks quickly covered the entire severed limb. The next moment, the severed limb turned into powder with a bang, leaving only a wisp of extremely condensed golden aura. , after staying in the vessel for a brief moment, it quickly disappeared like a breath of hot breath.
The chanting stopped suddenly, and the suddenly quiet air made the temperature around the entire experimental platform seem to drop a lot.
The old man's arms were weakly supported on the experimental table. He took off the pair of black-rimmed glasses with trembling hands and silently took out a handkerchief to wipe the lenses.
The fanatical look in his eyes had completely disintegrated, replaced by a period of confusion.
His fingers silently twisted the lenses, as if trying to crush his disappointment.
After a while, he silently took out a recording pen and pressed the record button:
"Record..."
"X023, May 10, 4:53AM, the 1012th "Supreme Breath Incubation" experiment..."
"The experiment has made some progress, but overall it is still not obvious..."
"Six administrators, including me, conducted an "intensification test" on "Slice No. 1504"... After adjustment, the supreme breath appeared as expected, but it rapidly decayed after 13 seconds. …”
"It lasted 3 seconds longer than the last time..."
The old man recorded it slowly, as if reviewing the failure of a battle.
What's strange is that although he is an old man, his voice is extremely young, like a young man in his early twenties.
The combination of such a voice and appearance makes it difficult not to wonder whether he has lost part of his time due to some kind of curse.
"...experimental results..."
"Failed."
"Ahem..."
"Cough cough cough..."
The old man covered his mouth and coughed. He coughed very hard, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.
He adjusted it, then picked up the book at hand, walked to a messy bookshelf, and whispered repeatedly: "Where is the omission... Where..."
He kept flipping through the books as if trying to get into them.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something and looked suddenly in a certain direction...
Not only him, but everyone in the room sensed this fluctuation and looked in the same direction.
"That's...?! That's!!!" The old man's voice trembled with excitement.
"It's a "path"! The way to the mysterious code has really appeared! ! ”
In the direction where the old man was looking, the space was distorted, the layers were undulating, and a deep passage slowly appeared with the movement of the library - it was the passage that Lin Yi had seen, and in the passage At the end of the room, the "The Lawmaker's Theory" quietly displayed seemed to be the "mysterious code" that the old man said.
The old man rushed out of the room desperately, like a soldier who had abandoned his armor, running crazily towards the opening of the passage.
The strange thing is that when he rushed out of the room, he immediately entered a Greek temple-style building complex. This was indeed a certain floor of the library, but the layout style was different from the more traditional style of the first floor of the library. But there is a huge difference...
The architectural style here is as if a certain floor of a Greek temple was cut off and moved here. Huge Doric stone pillars can be seen everywhere, covered with traces of erosion over time.
Under the light, these stone pillars seem to emit bursts of fluorescence, outline strange lines, and seem to contain some strange magic power.
