Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"I definitely saw him somewhere before!"

"Wait… he said 'little girl'? Li Huiyuan? The convenience store? He was in the convenience store back then?"

Images from that time flashed through Lin Yi's mind, but no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't find any trace of the convenience store owner in his memory.

However, since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. Then, not forgetting the words Old Mo had entrusted to him before his demise, he said, "Old Mo said… Mu Daxian is there, hoping you can save him…"

"Mu Daxian?" The convenience store owner smiled lazily. "I can't save him. Let '02' save him."

As he spoke, he slowly strolled over to the Night Watcher '02' in his flip-flops and reached out to touch him.

"Wake up. If you don't wake up, the clock tower will fall."

As soon as he finished speaking, Night Watcher '02' opened his eyes with a "boom."

At that moment, the wind and clouds converged, and a terrifying storm seemed to form above Night Watcher '02's head.

But this storm dissipated when he saw the convenience store owner.

"You… why are you here?" There was a hint of surprise in Night Watcher '02's cold voice.

"Why am I here? You should ask yourself that." The convenience store owner's voice was always lazy, but it revealed an unspeakable seriousness.

Night Watcher '02' was stunned for a moment, then immediately spotted Lin Yi. Seeing Lin Yi's current state, he immediately felt a sense of foreboding. "Let's talk later. Recitation Kid, how much time has passed?"

A wry smile that was hard to decipher squeezed out on Lin Yi's skull. "It's 2:58…"

"So much time has passed?! Then the bell…?"

"I rang it three times… The owner just bumped his head…"

"I didn't ring it. Don't talk nonsense. I just accidentally slipped and bumped my head!" The convenience store owner emphasized.

Night Watcher '02's expression changed drastically. "Three times…? You're actually still alive?"

"That's right. To be honest, I'm surprised myself…"

Night Watcher '02' quickly took over the "Sanctuary" and then said apologetically, "Sorry, Recitation Kid… I must have been lost just now and didn't hear the bell."

"I guessed as much," Lin Yi said. "Did you get the 'Quartermaster'?"

Night Watcher '02' shook his head. "I failed… You can't get the 'Quartermaster' with just your consciousness. After the invasion ends, I'll have to go there in person."

"Oh… you found the 'Quartermaster'?" The convenience store owner revealed a smile.

Night Watcher '02' said angrily, "Don't even think about it."

"I haven't said anything yet…"

"Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"

"Sharing is caring. You can't eat it all by yourself. Give me some!" The convenience store owner said with a grin. "Or you can tell me where it is, and I'll possess that kid and pluck it for you? That kid looks pretty sturdy. He should be able to handle the consumption."

He looked at Lin Yi with ill intentions, and some mischievous light flickered in the shadows of his face, making Lin Yi feel a chill down his spine.

"Don't mess with him," Night Watcher '02' said. "I have to ensure his safety and let him leave."

"Oh…"

"What 'oh'? Your tone is really asking for a beating, you know that?"

"It's alright. It's better than you looking like you're carrying the weight of the world all day, right?"

"The roots are surging, the 'Angel' is watching covetously, and the Nightwalkers are lurking. I can't be happy at all."

"Oh, look at you, look at you… That's too boring. How about…"

"Shut up!" Night Watcher '02' said coldly. "Of all the 'Supreme Judgments,' you're the most long-winded. After I send the Recitation Kid away, I'll talk to you!"

The time was approaching 3:00 AM, and Night Watcher '02' knew it was time to send Lin Yi away.

Night Watcher '02' knocked on the "Sanctuary." As the shockwave from the "Sanctuary" swept out, he followed a distorted spatial circuit to a fragmented world within the clock tower world, and then reached out to grab something from it. Then, he originally wanted to return the same way, but suddenly thought of something and went to another mirror-like world, took something else, and then returned to Lin Yi.

He handed Lin Yi a small box that seemed to be carved out of stone and was covered with secret patterns and mysterious symbols.

"This is the 'final payment' we agreed on earlier…"

Upon hearing the words "final payment," Lin Yi's eyes lit up. He quickly reached out to take it and carefully examined the stone box.

The surface of the stone box was very rough, like something cast from cement, formed after simple polishing. The stone box was covered with mysterious symbols and secret patterns that Lin Yi couldn't understand, but in addition to that, there was also a pattern, a pattern that connected end to end, looking like an Ouroboros.

"Inside the box is a transcendent creation called the 'Ouroboros Ring'… It's the 101st sequence in the transcendent creation genealogy, belonging to the 'Dream Realm' auxiliary creation. Wearing it around your neck or on your hand will enhance your willpower when you're dream building, allowing you to enter deeper layers of dream building."

"And its side effect is that it will make the user unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, and the probability of getting lost in dream building will increase exponentially with the depth of the dream."

"A self-destructing item?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.

Night Watcher '02' remained noncommittal. "It's a special medicine. It depends on when you use it. If you use it at the right time, the side effects aren't that important."

"So, there's no way to avoid the risk?"

"Recitation Kid, don't think too idealistically. Powerful things will inevitably bring stronger negative effects, but choosing not to use a sword when you have one in hand is completely different from not even having a sword when you want to use it." Night Watcher '02' smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"By the way, what's that 'Transcendental Creation Genealogy'?"

"I don't have time to explain it to you." Night Watcher '02' shook his head slightly and handed Lin Yi something else he had taken from another mirror world. "This thing doesn't belong to the 'final payment.' Consider it my compensation to you…"

"What's this?" Lin Yi looked curiously at the thing being handed over. It seemed to be a virtual, floating secret pattern, with a sense of unreality like a virtual image.

"This is the relic of a relatively outstanding 'Dawn Walker.'"

"Re-relic?!" Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

"You can think of it as equipment. It has no side effects. You can use it as soon as you get it. It's not bad for protecting yourself on the way back. If it breaks, you can still fix it, or you can just throw it away." Night Watcher signaled Lin Yi to reach out and grab it. "Try grabbing it."

Although Lin Yi didn't understand yet, he still followed Night Watcher's instructions and reached out to grab the virtual secret pattern.

When his palm touched the secret pattern, a stream of sky-blue aura immediately entangled him, forming some kind of concrete transcendent power similar to "Qi" on his hand.

"Damn, I'm going to cultivate immortality!" Lin Yi exclaimed.

Night Watcher "02": "… …"

"Don't act like you've never seen the world… …" The convenience store owner chided Night Watcher "02" from the side, "Just give him the toy, hurry up and send him away, don't waste our time catching up."

Night Watcher "02" glanced at the convenience store owner and said unceremoniously, "If you really want to catch up, there are plenty of opportunities, what's the rush?"

"Kid, I don't have time to explain the principle of this kind of secret纹 to you. Simply put, you can use your subjective will to use the power of this secret纹 to condense supernatural power into a weapon… …"

"To put it simply, you can anchor a weapon. The closer it is to the weapon you recognize, the more stable it will be. The easiest way is to anchor something that is both lethal and often used in daily life, such as a kitchen knife."

Anchor a weapon?!

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of Xu Shunkang's baseball bat!

「That's right, the sports department is the 'Dawn Walker' system, isn't it?!」

At this moment, Lin Yi seemed to understand where the baseball bats that almost everyone in the sports department had came from!

The latest novels are at 69书吧!

That's how it is!

So, with a thought, the "Qi" gathered in his hand immediately became active, and then turned into countless blue and white light particles, forming a baseball bat floating with a blue aura.

At first glance, it really looked exactly like the baseball bats of the sports students!

"Good stuff, feels great!" Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

"Glad you like it." The Night Watcher said, "It's getting late, take the lamp and you should leave."

"Okay." Lin Yi put away the 「Ouroboros Ring」, dismissed the baseball bat, and picked up the old kerosene lamp.

"By the way, 「02」… … Lao Mo told me before he was annihilated, please ask you to save Mu Daxian."

"I understand, don't worry, I promise you, I will bring Mu Daxian back."

"Okay… … Thank you." Lin Yi thanked on behalf of Lao Mo.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the convenience store owner's voice suddenly sounded: "Hey, you, the kid… … don't forget the bag."

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment and looked at the backpack that was spewing out a mist of light: "If I take it… … will it affect you?"

"It doesn't matter." The convenience store owner said, "Take the bag to the convenience store… …"

"Ah? Aren't you going to take it yourself?" Lin Yi asked puzzledly.

Night Watcher "02" said: "Just take it, the one you saw is not the real him, it's just a scheme he made using Mo's heart and this bag, using the 'door' attribute to open a stable infiltration path for him… …"

"I think his real body should still be half-dead hiding in that corner… … right?"

"Go, go, go!" The convenience store owner waved his hands repeatedly, "Can you let me keep a positive image in front of the little guy?"

"If you wanted to be positive, you wouldn't have used this image to infiltrate." Night Watcher "02" mocked mercilessly, then looked at Lin Yi and began to issue an eviction order, "Take your things and leave quickly, it'll be too late if you don't hurry."

"On the way back, don't stop no matter what happens, and try not to attack the Night Roamers unless absolutely necessary. Killing them will accumulate pollution and make you a target for super Night Roamers."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi didn't dawdle, picked up the backpack and started to go downstairs.

As he continued to move away from the 「Sanctuary」, the sky-blue aura began to move continuously on his golden skeleton like nanobots, regenerating his flesh little by little.

Now, golden light pulsed in his eyes, and the spatial wrinkles in the Clock Tower world were also clearly reflected in his vision. He stepped on the spatial wrinkles and came to the stairwell, glanced back at Night Watcher "02" and the convenience store owner in the depths of the distorted space, and then walked down the steps without looking back.

By the time he reached the bottom of the steps, his body had completely returned to its original state.

He clenched his fist, feeling the surging sensation brought about by the flow of power in every muscle fiber, and he had a feeling of being reborn, as if he had changed his body.

Without time to savor it carefully, he quickly found the iron gate, but before going down the iron gate, Lao Mo's instructions to him echoed in his mind.

He didn't rush to act, but went through all the things Lao Mo had told him in his mind, and then took out the dormitory manager's credentials from his clothes.

Next, he will no longer be a faceless repeater without an identity, but… … the dormitory manager on the 33rd floor of the dormitory: 「Dorm Manager - 33 - X0221119003」.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, slowly put the old kerosene lamp on the ground next to his feet, clamped it with his feet to prevent it from being lost, and then repeatedly recited in his heart: "I am 「Dorm Manager - 33 - X0231119003」, I am returning to the dormitory from the art building… …"

"I am 「Dorm Manager - 33 - X0231119003」, I am returning to the dormitory from the art building… …"

"I am 「Dorm Manager - 33 - X0231119003」… …"

While chanting, he repeatedly rubbed his face with both hands. Gradually, his face began to gradually have a human appearance from the appearance of 「Faceless」, and his body shape also changed constantly with the appearance of his face.

In the end, he became the appearance of 「Dorm Manager - X0221119003」, even his body shape became like that.

He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely firm: "I am 「Dorm Manager - 33 - X0221119003」, I am now, starting to return to the dormitory."

He bent down, picked up the old kerosene lamp, and then opened the portal of the Clock Tower. Endless steps appeared in front of him.

【Any steps in the campus go up and down along the right-hand side】.

He went down the steps, closed the door, and then carefully followed the contents of the rules, holding the old kerosene lamp and began to descend along the right-hand side against the wall.

「Da… … Da… … Da… … Da… …」

In the empty stairwell, only the sound of footsteps echoed in this silent environment.

On the walls of the staircase, paintings that sealed the grinning angels seemed to have found the light of the old kerosene lamp and began to struggle desperately, trying to break through the walls.

Lin Yi had walked through the complete steps with Lao Mo, and knew very well that whether or not these steps could be completed had nothing to do with speed, so he was not affected by those paintings, but maintained his own rhythm and walked down slowly.
