#326 - City Wall
「 These bubbles… it's like they're passing through my body! 」
He seemed to discover something, and suddenly looked at his arms and body.
「 I can't see it! I really can't see it! 」
He couldn't see his body, which meant—
「 My ‘body’ isn't here. Right now, I should be—in the ‘My World’ state?! 」
Realizing this, Lin Yi tried to think of the idea of ‘going back’ in his mind. Sure enough, when he thought this, he actually found that the surrounding light and shadows had changed. The distorted and dark feeling suddenly became clear, and the originally dim green underwater environment began to disintegrate…
He looked back, and his gaze crossed the surface of the water to see the fence and “himself” on the fence.
At this moment, his “main body” was maintaining the posture of lying on the fence, expressionless, with dull eyes, as if petrified, just like his soul had left his body.
His consciousness quickly flowed towards his main body, but at this moment, he heard the call of the mysterious creature under the hollow again.
【You will come back…】
【I will always be waiting for you…】
【Waiting for you… to take me away yourself…】
【Time… is a curse… no one can escape…】
【Including… you…】
【Lin Yi…】
When this voice appeared, Lin Yi actually found that his consciousness was being held in the water. Behind him, a huge vortex seemed to appear, sucking his consciousness and preventing him from returning to his main body!
「 What…?! 」
「 How is this possible?! 」
This was a situation he had never encountered before. No power had ever been able to interfere with ‘My World’. How could this be?
Even more terrifying things followed. Just as his consciousness broke through the surface of the water, he saw the skeletons of the Furious Angels on the playground, twisted and curled up on the grass flooded by the water, all蠕動ing…
Along with them, the skeletons transformed from the pseudo-human sports students also began to change…
All the skeletons stood up little by little as if they were marionettes being manipulated, and then stood up like humanoid tombstones…
They formed rows and rows of human walls. The originally hard bones actually became soft, and as they continued to approach each other, some strange adhesions began to appear between the bones, as if they were about to merge…
The same was true for those beating hearts.
「 Dong… Dong… Dong… 」
All the sounds gradually returned to the original drumbeat…
Soon, some sounds came from the skeletons, intermittent, but Lin Yi could hear them extremely clearly. The sounds were saying—
【My name is Lin Yi…】
【I am Lin Yi…】
【We are… Lin Yi…】
【Lin… Yi…】
Dozens of semi-fused skeletons spoke in a completely uneven but unified tone, as if they wanted to take his name as their own.
「 This, this is…?! 」
Just as he reacted, that eerie, low moan, like a painful cry, floated out again from the voice…
【「I Avgr… uNnen av tKe og mrke… jaGer forTapte Sjeler… fanTome…」】
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, as if it had been grabbed and then fiercely pinched. His consciousness was bound by such a sound. He had clearly rushed out of that strange environment under the water, and he was clearly only a tiny distance away from his main body, but he couldn't cross this distance no matter what.
A step away, as far as the sky!
As the skeletons continued to fuse, they gradually formed an evil appearance—
「…Necropolis?! 」
Lin Yi's pupils shrank suddenly, and cold air swirled on his forehead.
What is this supposed to be?!
After the Furious Angels died, their skeletons were re-employed, hugging each other and fusing, and then combined into… Alien Angels?!
Wasn't it said that Alien Angels are one of the three forms of Angel Statues? How could they be transformed from Furious Angels?!
Is there even such a path?!
It is said that the upper and lower limits of Alien Angels have a large span, but such a large span is a bit outrageous!
《Alien Angels are Angel Statues because their lower limit is the level of Angel Statues, and Furious Angels are Angel Statues because their upper limit is Angel Statues?!》
Heretical Choir, Necropolis, Alien Angel…
No way?
【「I… AvgruNnen… av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sje… ler fanTome…」】
【「I Avgru… Nnen av tKe… og mrke… jaGer forTap… te Sjeler fan… Tome…」】
【「I Avgr… uNnen av tKe og mrke… jaGer forTapte Sjeler… fanTome…」】
The eerie and bizarre chanting slowly drifted away, like snowflakes in the deep winter falling from the depths of the sky, constantly covering his body, as if even his consciousness could be frozen.
They lined up in rows over there, seemingly fused and seemingly separated, like hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers standing in the clouds, densely packed and suffocating. The heretical chanting was like a soul-reaping Sanskrit sound, constantly impacting his mind.
Lin Yi painfully covered his ears, but where did his “form” have any ears? Covering his ears was just a psychological act of resistance.
《An iron will can effectively resist the Necropolis》
Lin Yi remembered his head teacher's words, but he didn't dare to anchor himself with identity information and his own position. The Necropolis hadn't stolen his identity information yet, but it had already captured his name. If he were to expose his student ID number and location information at this time, he was really worried that the Necropolis would undergo even more bizarre changes.
Besides, his main body was right next to him. He didn't need to repeatedly recite information to anchor himself. He only needed to resist the chanting of the Necropolis.
Boss and the PE teachers were watching over there with old kerosene lamps. It was impossible for them not to take action, so he just needed to endure it.
The only problem was that this kind of thing didn't cause damage to the body. He didn't know if his recovery ability would have any effect.
But no matter what, enduring it was the only thing to do now.
At the same time, he exhausted his will to approach his main body…
This was a bizarre and strange tug-of-war, and his will was like the midpoint on the rope. Whoever let go, the other side won.
He knew that if he won, there was a high probability that he would wake up, but if he lost, he couldn't imagine or predict the consequences.
However, a strange scene appeared.
It seemed that no one inside the giant egg noticed the existence of the Graveyard of the Dead. Only Lin Yi was locked in a tug-of-war with the Graveyard of the Dead, unable to see the end or a way out.
The chanting of the Graveyard of the Dead grew louder and louder, truly resembling the cyber sutras of the Great Electronic Music Temple. The more you listened, the more rhythmic it became, making it increasingly difficult to resist.
But precisely because of this, Lin Yi dared not relax his resistance. He knew this was like 'conversion.' When you no longer find the sound harsh or strange, the problem has already begun.
And he now… no longer had an instinctive resistance to the chanting of the Graveyard of the Dead!
「Am I going to be converted?!」
「Is the Graveyard of the Dead trying to absorb my will and make it a part of itself?!」
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
He thought of it. The Graveyard of the Dead was an aggregate. In the end, it was a super-large lump of clay. What he had encountered before might have been just a plaything aggregated from Pseudo-Human Trainees and Nightwalker-level units, but what he was facing now was the fusion of the skeleton of a Wrathful Angel and the skeleton of a Pseudo-Human Athlete!
Abnormal Angels are divided into different grades, and the level certainly depends on the fused materials. And the fused material of this wave of the Graveyard of the Dead… was obviously top-notch!
Black Warriors and Marshmallows can only fuse to create Marshmallow Warriors, but Black Magicians and Red-Eyes Black Dragons fuse to create Super Magician Dragon Knights!
「What to do?!」
「What can I do to break free from this situation?!」
He, Lin Yi, couldn't just shout, 'I feel the power of my friends!' and then magically draw cards on the spot!
Could he conjure up an old kerosene lamp?!
Are you kidding me?!
But whether it was because the chanting of the Graveyard of the Dead distorted his mind and perception, allowing him to encounter even stranger changes in this desperate situation, he actually discovered that the fences, walls, ground… even the entire wall of the giant egg had begun to distort!
Just like how cobblestone roads would twist and deform when the campus map glitched, now the entire giant egg was beginning to undergo this kind of distortion!
「The giant egg's map is glitched?!」
It looked like it, but his intuition told him that this wasn't the case, and it was very likely related to the birth of the Graveyard of the Dead.
His ears were filled with the chanting of the Graveyard of the Dead, and his surroundings were the distorted and deformed giant egg.
Throughout this entire process, the boss and the gym teachers remained indifferent, still appearing as if they hadn't noticed the Graveyard of the Dead at all.
Gradually, the structure of the giant egg began to manifest in a different form before Lin Yi's eyes. A brilliant golden flame rose in his eyes, and his 'Vision' began to take over everything he saw.
Seamlessly integrating 'Spatial Awareness' into 'My World,' there was no flickering or jumping in the picture. Instead, the entire giant egg turned into a pitch-black scene, then into an architectural structure composed of countless crisscrossing grids, like a computer model.
When the giant egg was stretched, its innate structure also changed accordingly, but it did not exceed its own boundaries or the limits of spatial fluctuations.
The entire physical structure of the giant egg underwent a change that ordinary people could not understand, but Lin Yi seemed to have activated absolutely solid 'professional' knowledge, capturing the structure of the giant egg with his mind, and then opening it like unpacking a cardboard box, and then fitting it to the twists and turns of space. Thus, he discovered that the stretching and distortion of the giant egg in three-dimensional structure directly revealed the invisible layers and changes in space.
Like isotope-labeling DNA fragments, Lin Yi directly labeled the entire giant egg using 'My World'!
However, even with such a tracking and labeling method, even if Lin Yi was only observing and labeling, it would require a great deal of consumption. He felt that his spirit and mind were gradually beginning to become exhausted.
The brilliant golden flame in his eyes also began to flicker like a candle in the wind.
「I'm so tired… but… I still have to persevere a little longer!」
Relying on his will, he continued to observe. Gradually, he discovered that the giant egg had lost its original shape, but the framework was still intact, and every 'structural point' was still within the limits.
Now, the entire giant egg looked like a super-complex Möbius strip in front of him, but this change had not stopped…
In the constantly fluctuating space, he was like a speck of dust stuck on a certain point. His vision constantly received countless collapsing pieces of information, constantly processing these incomprehensible pieces of information. He felt his brain was about to explode. Just 'cognition' was driving him crazy.
However, just as he felt his spirit was about to collapse, the changes in this space suddenly slowed down… As the layers stabilized, he discovered that the structure of the giant egg had already completed its structure and reorganization at some unknown time. What was presented before him was a completely different, unfamiliar, and magnificent ancient building—
「City Wall」.
An ancient city wall!
Like a sharp sword inserted into the black tide, like a chasm piercing into the dark sky.
《Trying to peek at the city's ramparts through the eyes of students… might as well be buried here》
The words that Gym Teacher Wang had said echoed in his mind like a resounding bell.
「City Ramparts」!
Is this the 'true form' of the gymnasium manifested on the layer level?!
The magnificent city wall, indestructible, stood across the layers like a towering mountain!
With the appearance of the 'City Wall,' the entire space seemed to be re-divided. The part of the playground was all outside the city wall, and the flowing water that submerged the playground was also blocked by the city wall. The gently pushing waves at this moment turned into surging, dark green waves, as if thousands of troops were pounding on the base of the city wall.
And the position of Lin Yi's 'perspective' was actually in the gap of the city wall.
Behind him was the safe area of the city wall, and in front of him was the Graveyard of the Dead twisted together.
Countless iron chains hung down from the walls of the city wall, clanging in the sea breeze, clashing against each other and emitting countless sparks, exuding a smell of rust.
「Boom—Boom—Boom—」
Huge waves soared into the sky, impacting the city wall, shattering into piles of snow.
And on the city wall, the boss and the gym teachers stood tall and silently overlooked the black torrent below.
They stood there holding old kerosene lamps. Under the dark sky, the light and shadows swayed, casting countless rays of light. Behind them, the old kerosene lamps stretched their shadows very long, very long, and then twisted into a huge figure.
That figure floated up and down, appearing behind all the 'Executives' of the Physical Education Department. That was—
「Night Watchman」!!
No, more accurately, that was the phantom of the 'Night Watchman'!
