Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"The 'framework' must be guaranteed first, the flesh and blood can wait!"

Everything has a priority, stabilize the skeleton first!

Lin Yi began to actively guide the azure blue aura within his body, focusing on repairing the skeletal structure, and secondly, protecting the "heart."

That's right, the heart.

In his perception, when his body was subjected to the scouring of that air wave, the extraordinary power within him began to condense under pressure and impact, showing a trend of compressing towards a golden aura, and the most concentrated place of the golden aura in his body was his "heart"!

Secondly, it was the brain and various parts of the body!

However, because it was his body's instinct that was guiding him before, many of the golden auras that had been condensed were washed out of his body by the air wave, and annihilated under the ravages of water mist and storms, leaving only a very small part still lingering in his body.

And now, these golden auras were all condensed by him into the bones, becoming a part of his bones.

By preserving the heart and bones from annihilation, he could then take care of other parts, such as... the brain, such as the internal organs.

Strangely, the most core part of a person should be the brain, but in his perception, his "body" seemed to be more important than the brain!

This gave him an indescribable and eerie feeling of being "brainless."

Along with his active guidance, his heart and bones began to grow stronger and stronger, and although his body was still constantly annihilating blood mist outwards, many of these components were things that the azure blue aura could not repair and were crushed.

As the air waves came one after another, Lin Yi's body, like a fart, annihilated one patch of blood mist after another with a very periodic rhythm of "poof, poof, poof..."

Throughout the whole process, Lin Yi's eyes were icy cold, and his expression was terrifyingly indifferent, as if the body he was "operating" was not his own.

In his golden eyes, a hint of absolute rationality floated, and at this moment, he had taken over the pure instinct in his body, and began to reconstruct his "biological framework" in an unknown material form...

However, he was completely unaware of what he was doing, only with the purpose of "resisting the air wave and completing the Night Watchman's test"... and that's all.

Under the constant scouring of the air waves, his bones became clearer and clearer, and the golden aura became more and more concentrated. Before long, he was able to stand steadily on the steps to resist this air wave, and then, he began to repair his flesh and blood in the same way.

"Watching" himself gradually being enveloped by a misty, light golden haze, Lin Yi couldn't help but think, those "golden bodies" of the Buddhas in myths, and the God with golden radiance all over his body, wouldn't they be the "apostles" who spread to all parts of the world through navigation when culture was not yet civilized?

With his current level of contamination, golden hazes had begun to float around him, what would the "special effects" of those "apostles" be like?

If he really thought that way, wouldn't the halos floating behind the heads of Chinese gods also be a similar manifestation of extraordinary power? Similar to creating street lamps in the campus and hanging them behind their heads?

He couldn't think that way anymore... if he kept thinking that way, mythology would be covered with a layer of comedic shadow.

Lin Yi glanced at his watch. Unexpectedly, his old-fashioned quartz watch was unscathed in the air wave. Not only was it sturdy, but the timekeeping was still stable. However, when he saw the time, he was greatly surprised.

1:42.

"What? It's already 1:42?!"

Lao Mo said that he must leave before 4 o'clock. This departure time should refer to 'leaving the art building by taking the elevator', not 'starting to evacuate from the art building'!

In other words, considering the countless crises that might be encountered on the way back to the observatory elevator shaft from here, the time left for him was really running out!

"I have to hurry!" Lao Mo's constant refrain finally shifted to Lin Yi's lips.

After staying on the steps for another minute, Lin Yi felt that his body was strong enough to resist the new round of air waves, so he took a step and stepped onto the second step.

Soon the air wave struck, scouring over Lin Yi's body, and a large amount of blood mist was taken away from his body, but the surface of the bones was only flowing with golden light, and there was nothing unusual.

Lin Yi was overjoyed and wondered if his progress was so rapid?

After waiting for two more waves of air, Lin Yi found that he could indeed withstand it easily, and couldn't help but feel happy.

Of course, his standard for "easily withstanding" had already been raised to the level of "when a wave of air comes, it 'only' tears his internal organs and body flesh, and then brings out a large amount of blood mist"...

So he climbed upwards in one breath, his body staggering from time to time but not falling down, and then some blood mist was annihilated from his body, like Wolverine advancing against Phoenix Girl's wave front.

Feeling the gradually increasing air waves, he finally stopped when he had climbed halfway.

The air waves here were getting stronger again, so strong that it would cause a certain sense of soreness and numbness in his bones.

Lin Yi did not know that the reason why he was like this was not directly related to the speed of his progress, but because he should have climbed upwards little by little, feeling the gradually increasing air waves, but because he subconsciously chose the most stable approach, he had actually raised the threshold of his body's endurance to the level of that step.

After a few minutes, Lin Yi got used to this feeling of being ravaged by his body, and then continued to lift his foot and climbed the last half of the steps.

This was because there was no one else's perspective, otherwise a terrifying scene would be seen.

The current Lin Yi was like the mummy who had just run out of the seal, the only intact place on his body was a skeleton that looked like it was cast in gold, his heart was still beating "thump, thump", and his brain was still relatively completely preserved in his skull.

But in other places, flesh and blood clung to the skeleton like ragged rags, and those flesh and blood were still constantly wriggling and healing under the action of azure blue particles, but whenever the air wave blew, those patched places would be immediately broken, like minced meat cut open by a shredder.

Perhaps because he had become accustomed to this "inhuman torture", he became more and more indifferent when perceiving his own situation, and it was because of this indifference that seemed to not care about his own body that he made a terrible discovery.

Every time the air wave scoured through his body, it seemed to take something away from his body, but those things that were taken away were never repaired by the azure blue aura.

But gradually, the golden aura began to spread outwards from the bones, and then slowly spread out like weaving cloth.

By the time Lin Yi was about to finish climbing the stairs, his body had finally improved to the point where it could maintain a "normal human form" under the impact of the air waves, rather than resembling a mummy.

Finally, he stepped onto the last level of the clock tower stairs.

When he completely left the stairs, a cold sensation, as if passing through a layer of water, flowed over him from head to toe.

This magical feeling felt familiar to him. On second thought, wasn't this the same feeling as passing through the plastic wind curtain in the cafeteria, and many times when passing through doorways?

「Did I pass through a layer?」

Lin Yi's first reaction was the kind of cafeteria where there was mutual penetration, and he could slightly sense the difference in the other layer.

Because the front and back of the plastic wind curtain were the same cafeteria, but the scene seen after entering was different from the scene seen before entering. This phenomenon was extremely similar to this place.

In a moment of daze, Lin Yi immediately realized the true purpose of this trip—

「That's right! The Night Watchman!」

He immediately followed his feelings and looked in the direction of the giant clock. However, what entered his vision was an absurd world that was constantly running and beyond his common sense to understand…

The top floor of the clock tower was completely different from the "picture" seen from the stairs. His entry was like accidentally entering a higher dimension from a lower dimension. Everything he saw at first glance looked like the original intact clock tower had been pried open by an invisible and magnificent force. All the component parts were suspended in mid-air, but they were attracted to each other by some strange gravity, and some of them seemed to have been broken down to the size of egg-like gravel.

Lin Yi felt as if it was a world that had been shattered and then re-established in order.

Under his feet were still the heavy stone slabs similar to granite that were most common in the clock tower. However, the stone slabs were constantly expanding and rotating, and the carvings in the dome above him also began to iterate continuously like blossoming flowers, blooming, changing, until they annihilated into particles that could not be seen with the naked eye at the edges.

The whole world seemed to be kneaded into another appearance. Some areas still maintained a certain order, while the broken parts floated disorderly in the entire world in a completely irregular manner.

At the core of the clock tower's top floor, in the absolute center filled with countless strange and bizarre fragments, the giant ancient clock also presented a completely different appearance from what it had looked like before.

The huge clock body seemed to be decomposed and suspended there, extremely similar to the clock tower's top floor, which also showed an expanding posture, exuding a cyberpunk sense of technology.

Except for retaining the outline of a "clock" in its form, it itself was no longer related to any concrete things in reality.

It was like a picture made by a computer program. You could still see the content of the painting when you zoomed out, but once you got too close, all you could see were some completely inexplicable spots or fragments.

Outside the outline of the clock body, countless mottled light and shadows were suspended. These light and shadows seemed like special effects, but if you looked closely, you would see that these light and shadows were all condensed into substance, even purer than the materialized transcendent power…

Golden, white, red, blue, green… rich and pure, making people subconsciously want to go over and touch them carefully.

And near this quantum giant clock, a tall figure stood erect.

「The Night Watchman!」

The Night Watchman stood tall, surrounded by a circle of black-gold aura. The aura was like a cloak. The part closer to him was darker and brighter, while those farther away became very loose, like particles.

Behind the Night Watchman, the thin black-gold aura like mist was like a wave, endless, seemingly outlining some kind of image.

「That seems to be…」

That seemed to be the Night Watchman's phantom, a giant phantom as large as a Dharma image, holding this quantum giant clock, impacting the surface of the quantum giant clock at a slow speed, carrying a majestic potential energy that could not be measured by reason.

「Duang—」

The heavy air waves, like a flash flood, surged out from the quantum giant clock, converging into a terrifying storm, gushing out from the cracks in the clock tower fragments, and pouring fiercely into the void of the outside world!

And some remaining air waves echoing inside the quantum giant clock finally quietly scattered into the interior of the clock tower, surged down the stairs, and then entered the art class.

The impact Lin Yi received when he climbed the stairs was the scraps that surged out of this quantum giant clock—and it was only scraps.

His attention subconsciously followed the air wave and looked towards the chaotic void outside the clock tower fragments.

Looking out from this dimension, nothing could be seen outside, but when the air wave surged out, the dark world seemed to be stirred up like a tide, and there were ripples one after another…

And in those ripples, Lin Yi vaguely seemed to see the outline of some kind of creature—a huge snake shadow!

Or perhaps it was not just a snake shadow!

It was unknown how big the creature was. Just the looming outline of the figure in the darkness was even bigger than the world where the clock tower was located.

It merged into the dark world, constantly infiltrating towards the dimension where the clock tower was located, seemingly wanting to destroy some characteristic of the clock tower.

In front of that figure, the clock tower was as small as a model toy.

The dark figure was like a large snake, or like countless large snakes, or perhaps there were shadows of octopus tentacles and some kind of giant wings…

Its outline seemed to be an evil icon dragged out of the deepest nightmare. The black frenzy was its natural disguise, and also seemed to be a part of its essence. The two intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish where the end of the darkness was, and where the origin of its terrifying form was.

Its body was slender and winding, but with many branches. Each tentacle-like snake shadow presented a sense of distortion that violated common sense, with no regularity at all. Just the wriggling phantom made people feel a kind of tremor from the depths of their souls and an overwhelming sense of coldness.

The scale-like substance on its body, which occasionally floated with a dim luster, was something that could not exist in this world at all, and could not be described with physical properties. Each piece was like an ancient rune, engraved with evil imprints that could not be erased by time, flashing with a cold, unnatural light, as if chanting blasphemy from a distant time and space…
