Infinity Throne

Chapter 532 Clues

The screams of the security guards make those who hear them sad and cry, and may even make people who don't know why feel creepy.

But whether it was the apostle of the Force who was beating the security guard, or Yi Lin, who was standing aside motionless and watching what happened, they had already been hardened by all the trials of beating the apostle. They showed no emotion at all. Instead, their eyes lit up. .

Sure enough there is a problem here!

Big problem!

The man stepped on the security guard's chest, making a crisp cracking sound.

The security guard rolled his eyes and almost fainted from the pain again.

The man lit a cigarette.

"call--"

Thick smoke rings erupted from the man's mouth and spread into the air.

"Tell me what's under the lake."

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!"

The security guard seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

The man frowned: "You don't know? Then why are you afraid of death?"

No matter how hard the man pressed or how hard he beat him, the security guard seemed to have lost his mind. He kept saying "I don't know, I don't know" but could no longer give out any other useful information.

"Forget it, I hate forcing confessions."

The man finished smoking a cigarette and found nothing useful. Just when he was about to trample the security guard to death and go down to the lake to explore, he thought of a perfect solution.

"I'll give you one last chance and ask, what's under the lake?"

"I don't know...I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

"that's too regretful."

The man shook his head.

Click, click, click.

There were only four crisp sounds, and the man crushed the security guard's limbs with one kick.

On the tree.

Yi Lin watched this scene from beginning to end, and he also knew the next plan of the power-side apostle. But Yi Lin didn't stop it, and she didn't want to. Although Yi Lin is not willing to do such a cruel thing without a reason. But since the other party is willing to get his hands dirty, Yi Lin is also happy to use this to search for the information he wants.

After trampling on the security guard's limbs to prevent him from escaping when he was not paying attention, he twisted his hands and easily tore open the barbed wire guardrail, tearing out a big hole.

The apostles on the power side have crossed the barbed wire fence and walked to the lake to investigate.

Yi Lin looked down at the not far away. The broken limbs were twisted at weird angles. The security guard was lying on the ground unable to move. He subconsciously picked at the dead skin on his forehead and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

yes.

Something is missing.

What about resentment?

Since Yilin awakened the parasitic growth weapon [Resentment] on her forehead, in addition to unlocking the substitute and corresponding substitute abilities, she also has a passive skill that can "see" the resentment of living creatures. It stands to reason that after this security guard suffered such a level of abuse, he should have started to develop fresh and delicious "resentment" in his body.

But...no.

Why?

Although Yi Lin has not fully understood the essence of "resentment". But based on his experience of "eating" so many resentments, Yi Lin has already summed up his own set of theories.

"Resentment" may exist in both living and dead people.

Fresh resentment may only exist for a short time, and then dissipate invisible as the owner's thoughts are understood. The resentment of the deceased will be attached to certain people and certain objects. Depending on the obsession of the deceased at the moment when the "resentment" occurred, the resentment will last for different times.

But no matter what, there will still be what should be there.

"Is it possible that the security guard only has fear in his heart right now? He hasn't had time to develop other obsessions such as 'hatred' and 'revenge'?"

A highly possible guess flashed through Yi Lin's mind.

Just when Yi Lin focused on the security guard on the ground, the power-side apostle squatted by the lake to observe for a while, then came back, lifted the security guard with broken limbs with one hand, and hung him by the lake.

"Let me ask you one last time, what's under the lake?"

"I don't want to die...I don't want to die...I don't want to die..."

"Tsk."

Bo!

The security guard fell into the lake.

But the moment he entered the water, there was something wrong with the sound he made.

The normal sound of entering the water should be a "plop" and there will be splashing.

But when the security guard fell into the lake, he disappeared from the lake with a pop, without even a ripple or splash. At that moment, Yi Lin felt as if the security guard had not fallen into the lake, but had passed through some kind of barrier and entered another world.

"hiss!"

The apostle on the power side was not stupid enough to know anything. When the security guard mysteriously entered the water, he was frightened by the strange phenomenon in front of him and took a few steps back. He retreated directly outside the hole in the barbed wire fence and watched what happened.

The lake is as calm as ever.

The apostle on the power side stood silently outside the barbed wire fence, feeling his hands and feet feel cold.

Stayed for a long time.

He suddenly sneered: "Good guy, how dare you play tricks on me!"

After saying that, he walked back without looking back.

After Kudo Shinji's teammate left.

One after another, many of the apostles Yi Lin had seen at the recruitment meeting quietly walked out of the grove, followed the hole in the barbed wire fence, and carefully squatted by the lake to check, but they did not dare to stay long and left quickly.

Occasionally, someone who crashes a car will stage such an embarrassing scene in front of Yi Lin:

"Ah, you are here too."

"yes."

"coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence."

"you also?"

"Yeah, me too!"

"Then... together?"

"No, no, I still have to go to class, so I have to go first."

"What a coincidence. I also have classes in the afternoon, so let's go together?"

"I'm a football coach."

"Uh, I'm a housekeeper..."

"Ahem, then, together?"

"Together!"

"..."

"Clang clang clang clang!"

Shortly after.

The school bell rang.

Yi Lin remembered her responsibilities as an art teacher and the art facade of Kanzaki Middle School, so she stopped staying by the lake and quietly returned to the teaching building.

The teaching location is still the art classroom filled with the smell of paint.

But this time, Yi Lin taught a different group of students.

Yi Lin copied the contents of the previous class almost exactly unchanged. The students in this class, under Yi Lin's "hypnosis", once again painted various twisted and strange patterns on the canvas. At first glance, the patterns on the canvas looked like unconscious graffiti, but after they were drawn, they turned into various shapes of ferocious monsters.

Only this time, what was slightly different from the morning class was that no one painted a girl on canvas like Chie Tanino.

Time passed and get out of class was over.

The teacher's sense of time is completely different from that of students.

When she was whipped by Queen Yanluo as a student in Styx Junior High School, Yi Lin always felt that a class was extremely long.

Now the situation has changed, and Yi Lin has suddenly become a teacher. However, she feels that the time of a class is very short, which makes Yi Lin still unsatisfied and wants to do it again.

"goodbye teacher!"

"See you tomorrow, teacher!"

The well-behaved students said goodbye to Yi Lin one after another.

Yi Lin also imitated the teacher's appearance and said goodbye to the cute and well-behaved students with a smile.

At this time.

After the students walked out of the art class room, they whispered in the corridor.

"Teacher Muto has a nice smile."

"Really? I feel scared. I feel that this teacher is different from others."

"What's different?"

"It's like... he could come over and hit someone at any time."

"Yeah, the look in his eyes is a bit off-putting."

"..."

"Teacher Kimura is still handsome, so handsome! I really want to marry Teacher Kimura!"

"I want to give birth to a monkey for Mr. Kimura!"

In the empty classroom, Yi Lin clenched her fists and sighed softly.

Should Li Changge be beaten or not?

Over the course of the day, Yi Lin collected a lot of relevant information.

"Chie Tanino?"

In Yilin's mind, she thought about the girl in her subconscious that Chie Tanino had drawn under hypnosis. Somehow, in Yi Lin's mind, the girl who only existed on the canvas seemed to come alive. Her simple features and corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was smiling at Yi Lin.

"Is it so easy to find the rightful owner? Is this the benefit of lower and lower luck?"

Yi Lin picked at the dead skin while recalling what happened today.

Even though Yi Lin has a lot of clues, the messy clues still cannot deduce the answer Yi Lin wants.

The second main task is to find "Pandora's Box" and successfully touch the "Box".

touch...

That is to say,

This object called "Pandora's Box" has a physical entity.

It's not some ethereal "conceptual object".

Yi Lin recalled the frightened expression on the security guard's face when he approached the lake.

Obviously.

The "fear" of the security guard was not caused by the apostle who exerted violence, but came from the "lake" itself.

There must be something strange about that blocked "lake", or something must have happened in the past to make the security guard who fell into the water so frightened. That fear even surpassed emotions such as "pain", "hatred", "anger", and "desire to survive" and occupied the body and mind of the security guard.

"In other words, there are currently three intervention points."

"First, some people in Kanzaki Middle School should know certain hidden facts."

"Second, we should be able to get a lot of clues from the students about the accidents that happened to a large number of teachers a month ago."

"Third is...the lake."

Yi Lin walked on the road, lowering her head and thinking.

The first two points are not too difficult.

Based on a day's observations, Yi Lin came to a conclusion. Apart from the "weirdness" hidden in this city, there are currently no obvious abnormalities among the "human beings" living in Kanzaki City. They are all ordinary humans with low combat effectiveness. Any second-level apostle can be killed casually, let alone a senior apostle like Yi Lin who is ranked among the top 100 in the world.

But the third point...

Before witnessing the scene where the security guard fell into the water, Yi Lin might have tricked the other apostles into giving it a try after fully weighing the pros and cons when she had no other options. But now, Yi Lin has given up this idea for the time being.

Too dangerous.

The seemingly calm lake seemed to be hiding a ferocious beast that ate people without spitting out bones. Even Yi Lin couldn't see what terrible dangers that lake hid.

While thinking.

Yi Lin has walked from upstairs to downstairs.

The recruitment conditions for Kanzaki Middle School are indeed generous.

Not only meals are provided, but also high-end dormitories for teachers are provided on campus.

At the very least, it's much more upscale than the moldy apartment Yi Lin stayed in last night.

Of course it is incomparable to Kimura Changge’s villa...

Yi Lin looked at the time.

"Don't worry, there are still six days. Let's wait until dark before taking action."

Yi Lin already had an idea in her mind. It was not easy to do anything in broad daylight. It was better to go back to the teacher's dormitory to rest and see if there were any clues about the "previous owner" in the dormitory.

And right now.

Nearly a kilometer away, there was a strange commotion. Many students looked panicked and excited, and ran in the direction of the commotion.

This school is ridiculously large.

Yi Lin's current perception could not cover the entire school, so she could only follow the crowd and run away.

On the way, Yi Lin accidentally discovered a student he cared about.

——Chie Tanano.

The little girl who drew "girly" in his class.

"Chie-chan, what a coincidence!"

Pretending to pass by Yano Chie casually, Yilin chose the most clichéd opening line after much deliberation.

"Muto-sensei!"

Yano Chie was startled by Yi Lin who suddenly appeared from beside her.

"...Please call me Teacher Yilin."
