Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Year X023, May 10th, 3:18 AM, Art Building Gallery.

The dim, yellow light of an old kerosene lamp flickered uncertainly in the narrow gallery, as if it could go out at any moment.

The surroundings were eerily silent, with only the occasional sound of mist flowing in the inexplicable wind, like whispers from ghosts in the darkness.

A chilling sensation gripped Lin Yi's heart, and an icy coldness rushed up his spine like a plummeting roller coaster.

His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and his breathing became rapid. He caught a glimpse of the little girl out of the corner of his eye, but he dared not make any movements, his body frozen in place.

Cold sweat seeped from his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the cold floor.

"Glug..."

He swallowed hard, his head lowered, his eyes fixed on the watch on his wrist, yet he was absentmindedly observing it.

But even in his absentmindedness, he noticed a problem—the hands of the watch were moving normally, ticking "tick...tick...tick..." The faint sound was amplified infinitely in the deathly silence, making it seem particularly eerie.

"Wait... the time is normal?"

There was no sense of time distortion that should be present during dream weaving; the flow of time was actually normal...?!

How could it be normal?

The little girl didn't move, and Lin Yi didn't dare to move either. The surrounding air seemed to solidify, and the chill became more and more intense, like icy tentacles coiling around his entire body.

The little girl stood there quietly, her small mouth opening and closing mechanically. Then, the dark nursery rhyme began to sound from all directions, like leaves falling in the wind.

The little girl's attention remained fixed on his watch, without the slightest change.

"She's looking at my watch?"

A strange thought popped into his mind—take off the watch, throw it away, and distract her like throwing a bone to lure away a dog!

But this thought was only a fleeting one, immediately rejected by Lin Yi as soon as it appeared.

The watch... he couldn't lose it.

Apart from the fact that it was the only thing besides the 'Ouroboros Ring' that could appear in his dream weaving state, even if he didn't know the watch's magic, he had never considered taking it off, because…

Huh?

Because…

"Hiss... what was it again?"

Lin Yi suddenly felt a throbbing in his head. Even though the words were on the tip of his tongue, why couldn't he remember the reason?

But his subconscious knew that this watch was very important, and he absolutely couldn't lose it.

At that moment, he heard other sounds faintly emerging from the little girl's voice as she hummed the black nursery rhyme, like the girl was mumbling. But the "ee ah ee ah" sounds were like sleep talk, making it really hard to hear.

Suddenly, the little girl moved. He saw her slowly lift up the 'Amon's Music Box', raising it little by little in front of Lin Yi…

As the music box approached, a chilling coldness rushed towards him, and the surrounding darkness seemed like thick mud, gradually devouring the realm of the old kerosene lamp…

"What?!"

Lin Yi was horrified. 'Amon's Music Box' was actually directly suppressing the extraordinary characteristics of the old kerosene lamp!

Darkness tightly enveloped every inch of space. The faint light of the old kerosene lamp struggled in the darkness, like a dying man hanging on to his last breath.

The little girl slowly shifted her gaze, tilting her head, and looked at Lin Yi's face, seemingly wanting to see Lin Yi's current expression.

[Brother, brother, you're so bad~ Sister's saw is dull, haha~]

[That tree is really nice~ I'll hang brother up after slicing~]

[Little friends, hide and seek...]

The black nursery rhyme was sometimes near and sometimes far in Lin Yi's ears, echoing the tinkling sound of the music box, making it impossible for Lin Yi to resist in any way.

Suddenly…

Lin Yi felt something cold and soft touch his palm.

But in his eyes, he clearly didn't see anything.

The sensation was incredibly clear, and it continued to move up his palm little by little, eventually touching his watch…

"Could it be her…?!"

The little girl was clearly right beside him, but he didn't dare to look at her, nor did he dare to directly call out the name 'Law Maker' in his mind, for fear of causing some strange reaction.

But the little girl clearly hadn't touched him!

"Could it be… infiltration?"

"Is the little girl just the cognition she gave me, or is it just a 'cognition' created by my brain for me?"

"Is the real her not existing in the form of a little girl, but existing with the extraordinary characteristics of penetrating layers?"

He thought of what Tian Bufan had mentioned about that conceptual sculpture—quantum state!

The little girl's infiltration is the 'quantum state'?!

In reality, she is everywhere!

Just like when he was dream weaving, he arrived at the door of the bedroom, and then there was a similar sensation, pushing his hand onto the door, and then he entered the bedroom!

Could everything be under her control?

The little girl's mumbling voice, along with the black nursery rhyme and the notes of the music box, kept swirling in Lin Yi's mind.

Finally, her attention slowly shifted from Lin Yi's watch to his body…

Lin Yi clearly felt the sensation of being caressed by a soft and cold invisible force, starting to move along his arm towards his shoulder. But at the same time, he also noticed that a wound had appeared on his hand…

It was as if someone had cut open his skin with a sharp knife, exposing his muscles and blood vessels. Fresh blood slowly flowed out, turning viscous as soon as it touched the light of the old kerosene lamp, turning into some kind of ketchup-like substance.

The little girl slowly leaned in, opened her mouth, and gently licked Lin Yi's wound with her pink tongue.

The wound was painful, but the little girl's licking made it strangely itchy.

Lin Yi felt uneasy, and an indescribable emotion was brewing in his chest, both terrifying… and with some barely concealed excitement.

After the wound was licked, the ketchup no longer flowed, but the invisible caressing sensation was still moving, and new wounds began to appear. Blood continued to flow, and the little girl licked again.

He felt like his arm was now like a custard bun. A hole was opened, the custard flowed out, and the little girl ate it. When it stopped flowing, she would open an even bigger hole and continue to eat.

However, at this time, he didn't notice that the time on the watch was gradually freezing…

The hands on the dial began to move incredibly slowly from the 30th second of 3:19…

And the wounds on his arm, under the guidance of that invisible force, formed a mysterious symbol resembling oracle bone script.

When Lin Yi saw this symbol, he was shocked: "Secret rune…?!"

Before he could react, a strong burning sensation, as if being eroded by magma, deeply stung his flesh, and even made his soul tremble.

This intense feeling permeated his skin and flesh, and it was actually trying to directly sever his arm!

The little girl… wants his watch!

Lin Yi suddenly realized!

"No! I can't just sit here and wait to die! Run!"

"Run! Start running, I have to run!!!"

Having made up his mind, Lin Yi sprinted away.

As he moved, the viscous darkness around him didn't react for a moment. It only began to chase after him once he was already running.

The little girl holding the music box was left far behind.

He ran through the gallery, holding the old kerosene lamp high. He had only one thought in his mind now—escape the gallery!

"As long as I'm still in the gallery, she'll always be here! Only by leaving can I get rid of her! Hiss—ha—"

The sharp pain in his arm made his running movements extremely uncoordinated, and he almost fell several times.

However, when he inadvertently looked at his arm, his hair almost stood on end.

The little girl hadn't been thrown off by him falling; instead, her little mouth was clamped onto his arm, sticking to him like a rag doll!

The little girl's smooth hair swayed in the wind like small waves, and her delicate face looked harmless. However, from her little mouth clamped onto Lin Yi's arm, some black, oily, viscous liquid began to flow out, like ink, gradually staining Lin Yi's arm.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Yi's arm, and then, as if she didn't need to obey any physical rules, climbed up Lin Yi's arm and sat lightly on his hand, moving with the movement of his arm.

Her body seemed to be constantly seeping out that kind of black, turbid liquid. This liquid soaked her black and red Lolita uniform, making her uniform look dirty, but it always seemed to disappear.

Her smooth legs were pale and cold, and a section of lace socks stained with dirt was exposed at her ankles, but inside the socks, there seemed to be something bulging, like… chains.

Lin Yi didn't dare to observe carefully. He glanced at it and ran for his life with all his heart.

To be honest, after experiencing the baptism of the "Sanctuary," he didn't even care about the pain of having his flesh and internal organs annihilated. He wouldn't even blink at that inhumane pain now, and he could even watch his flesh and blood annihilated and shattered with a smile.

But even so, he couldn't bear the pain that appeared when the scars were branded on his arm. That kind of pain seemed to be carved into his will, reaching deep into his soul.

He suddenly missed those grinning angels who had hidden in his shadow. Rather than having his arm engraved with secret patterns and being sucked on by the little girl like a jelly, he would rather be sucked on by a group of grinning angels.

At least, the grinning angels only made him feel kidney deficiency, but the little girl was harvesting his kidneys—and the key was not a clean cut, but fresh kidney sashimi!

The burning sensation became more and more intense, and Lin Yi felt that his hand was about to break off.

But at the critical moment, that kind of painful feeling could no longer increase by even a tiny bit, as if it had encountered a tough opponent.

They had indeed encountered a tough opponent.

The power of the secret patterns cut into Lin Yi's arm like a continuous water jet, but it got stuck when it touched Lin Yi's bones.

The power of the secret patterns couldn't penetrate Lin Yi's "Golden Bone Body!"

Lin Yi himself was surprised and delighted. His heart was filled with joy and tears, and he thought that the Night Watcher "02" who presided over the "Sanctuary" was truly a famous teacher like Kaido. The aura of the "Sanctuary," the first wave taught him to condense golden aura, the second wave helped him temper his golden bones and extremely strong flesh, and the first wave taught him the backtracking method of dream-building…

Of course, if the famous teacher Night Watcher had a teaching philosophy, it should be four words—"Eat until you can't die."

However, before Lin Yi could feel more emotional, the little girl reached under the skirt of her Lolita uniform and groped for a while, and then pulled out a hacksaw that was bigger than her!

"No way, damn it!"

Lin Yi was sweating profusely and his scalp was tingling. He could understand that Li Huiyuan's JK uniform's pleated skirt had a pocket, and he could also understand that the Lolita uniform's skirt had a pocket, but—what the hell is "pulling a saw from your crotch"?!

Even more terrifying was that after the little girl took out the saw, she directly placed it on Lin Yi's arm and, against the golden bones that the secret patterns couldn't penetrate, she started sawing away with her watery eyes.

The little girl's small body pulled the big hacksaw, and the disharmonious style was like a Q version of a cartoon, but Lin Yi suffered terribly.

"Gah—squeak!"

"Gah—squeak!"

"Gah—squeak!"

Every time she sawed, Lin Yi could personally feel the sharp sound of the bones aching, and this time, he was not only really "personally" experiencing it, but the bones were also really achingly terrible.

The sharp saw teeth cut hard on the bones, and the trembling feeling was transmitted to the whole body along with the bones. Lin Yi felt that he was about to be shaken out of his soul.

He had finally "cultivated" the golden bone body under the tempering of the aura of the "Sanctuary," and he could even face the first wave of the "Sanctuary" aura head-on. He felt that he was somewhat good. Even if he didn't have the praise of "Lu Bu in the world," he could be worthy of the praise of "My second brother is invincible in the world." In the end, how did he end up with this persistent little girl?

It would be okay if he just ended up with her. After all, Lin Yi is now known as "Regenerative Little Tang Monk" and "Delicious Tai Sui." Taking a sip of his vitality makes you refreshed, and eating a bit of his flesh makes you prosperous. Moreover, with the grinning angels in front, it's okay to have another little girl. Lin Yi can completely accept it.

But the situation is different now. Eating a few grapes is fine, but why did she start cutting down trees at the slightest disagreement?

Wouldn't his golden bones be a dimensional strike against those Nightwalkers in the school district?

But before he could return to the school district to show off in front of the green-skinned and pseudo-human sculptures, he was about to be sawn off!

Isn't this inappropriate?

He couldn't think too much anymore, because the piercing pain began to stimulate his nerves and instincts. He felt that his arm bone was really being sawn open under the little girl's hard sawing!

"Gah—squeak!"

"Gah—squeak!"

The little girl's dirty face had no expression. No matter how Lin Yi swung his arm with the rhythm of his running, she seemed to have grown on his hand and remained unmoved, sawing his arm bone little by little according to her own rhythm.

Lin Yi suddenly understood that the little girl's ultimate goal was still his watch. If she couldn't take off the watch, she would saw off his arm!

The "Lawmaker" who cut off and buried even the "First Apostle"! What a dismemberment maniac! She's really ruthless and doesn't say much!
