Rules-related weird stories: 4016

The eerie art teacher patted him on the shoulder, looked at him deeply, and said in an unprecedentedly profound tone: "You've been a student... for a long time, haven't you?"

"Yes..." Ren Jianxiong lowered his eyebrows slightly. Don't let their fanatical believers wave the banner of 'Glorious Evolution,' because those who truly get to enjoy the first bite of the cake are always the higher-ups.

"I've been a teacher for a long time too... a long, long time..." The eerie art teacher's tone was slow, with a bewitching quality, "As the old saying goes, opportunity favors the prepared, but after preparing for many years, I realized... opportunity only ever appears once or twice, maybe even just a glimmer."

"Now, that glimmer is before you and me."

"Let's go, let's go over there first."

Ren Jianxiong was torn between conflicting desires, but his breathing became more and more rapid, and his penguin-like bloated body trembled slightly.

The eerie art teacher's words were more tempting than any cake, and after being a lackey for so many years, he deeply understood that opportunities... do indeed need to be seized.

Resources, too.

Powerful capital is not capital, but first and foremost needs to be 'powerful'.

Ren Jianxiong took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Okay."

...

At the same time, those Nightwalkers lurking in the layers almost simultaneously sensed the existence of 'Ashes' the moment the ripples spread, and rushed towards Class 18, Group C.

"Swish... Swish..."

Looking from afar, within the surging mist, the densely packed Nightwalkers, like countless crawling insects, emerged from the dark corners, transforming into a wriggling torrent, crawling effortlessly on the outer walls of the teaching building, surging towards the source of the ashes...

A'Gui's flesh and blood had been completely melted by Zhang Lingzhen, leaving only a rough skeletal frame. Zhang Lingzhen's situation was even worse. Although its body had been shaped and strengthened by the 'Burial Body,' it was still unable to completely escape the shackles of 'mortality.' Under the extreme burning of the ashes, only some bones remained.

Despite this, the frame was still tightly wrapped around A'Gui's skeleton like snake bones. The spinal columns spiraled and intertwined, and the flames between the bone joints constantly fused, seemingly exuding an aura of dark heresy.

"What a perfect shaping..."

The 'Burial Body' consciousness exclaimed, completely disregarding the demise of Zhang Lingzhen's body, and not caring that it hadn't completely taken control of the skeleton. It simply silently integrated Zhang Lingzhen's skeleton into A'Gui's skeleton, seemingly wanting to use the power of ashes to perform some kind of 'welding' process.

Lin Yi almost couldn't hold back.

The 'Architect' is already here, could it be that one of the corpses that makes up the 'Burial Body' is his mom, a 'Welding Expert'?

But if you throw welding into the occult, it would somewhat lower the level of the occult...

A few complaints were just a fleeting thought. Lin Yi's attention was quickly drawn to Zhang Lingzhen's last few bones.

Zhang Lingzhen's body had been completely burned clean, and even its frame was no exception. During this process, the phantom of Zhang Lingzhen's appearance that had appeared once never appeared again. Lin Yi also didn't hear any sounds like "Help me, help me," not knowing if Zhang Lingzhen's main consciousness had been extinguished from the beginning.

But although Zhang Lingzhen's skeleton was burned away, there were still a few remnants left—these remnants were a section of incomplete spine connected to some bones of an unidentifiable type. Those bones radiated outwards, like some kind of barbed wing bone.

There were fine cracks on the bone remnants. Under the burning of the ashes, those cracks instead revealed a sinister taste. Golden-red, lava-like luster flowed in the cracks, like some kind of flowing inscription...

These remnants were interwoven and connected to A'Gui's skeleton. From a distance, it actually looked like a humanoid creature with demon wings growing out of it. The two thickest bones vaguely formed a cross shape, making the entire skeleton full of religious and heretical flavors.

It was not until this moment that Lin Yi understood why the convenience store owner said that bone spurs were needed to eliminate Zhang Lingzhen—the "Zhang Lingzhen" that the convenience store owner was talking about was not Zhang Lingzhen herself, but Zhang Lingzhen controlled by the 'Burial Body' consciousness.

Similarly, it was also the remnant that still existed after Zhang Lingzhen herself had completely died.

That remnant originated from the 'Burial Body's' main body, engraved with mysterious secret patterns, which even ashes could not completely burn away. Perhaps it really could only be destroyed by "using its own spear against its own shield", using bone spurs with similar secret patterns to perish together with it.

The 'Burial Body' consciousness didn't mean to waste words with Lin Yi at all. It mistook Lin Yi for some more mysterious existence, so it didn't mean to talk to Lin Yi at all, but just kept admiring the skeleton, occasionally uttering some praises.

The 'Burial Body' consciousness still gave a high degree of affirmation to Lin Yi's construction. Of course, in Lin Yi's eyes, it seemed a bit over the top...

Isn't this just basic operation? Can't you do it? Lin Yi slandered in his heart, but didn't say much, so as not to lower his high status in the 'Burial Body' consciousness's perception.

Not long after this eerie angelic skeleton took shape, some bizarre auditory hallucinations began to appear in Lin Yi's will. The sound was like countless souls whispering in his ears, chattering and talking about their own things, sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes loud and sometimes soft, making people feel mentally disordered and恍惚 失神.

Lin Yi knew that this was the whisper of the 'Burial Body', the call from the countless corpses that made up the 'Burial Body'.

"Become... part of... us..."

"The flesh... will eventually become an illusion..."

"Only the will of the soul... will exist forever in the world..."

"Return to me..."

"Become me..."

"Come... come..."

It was constantly eroding Lin Yi's will. In its perception, Lin Yi was not Lin Yi, but some existence that even made it shudder. But even so, it still stretched out its fangs. Even if a god was here, it would still try to gnaw off a piece of meat.

But its overestimation determined its advantage.

Lin Yi's will was actually shaken by it... Perhaps it was because the "signal tower" strength of Lin Yi's main body was not as high as the "signal tower" strength of the "Burial Body" main body, or perhaps it was because Lin Yi's own will strength was not as strong as the "Burial Body", or perhaps because Lin Yi could not achieve the same level of layer penetration and succession as the "Burial Body". In any case, Lin Yi felt a slight sense of suppression at this moment.

He was slightly surprised in his heart. Did the "Burial Body" will really want to seize Ah Gui's body?

But... what's the point of that?

The "Burial Body" will probably doesn't know what he's ultimately going to do, right?

For the "Burial Body", this invaluable treasure is actually a bomb that Lin Yi intended to scrap from the beginning, or even use for a self-destruction...

More accurately, it's a cloud-piercing arrow.

One cloud-piercing arrow, and thousands of troops and horses will come to meet.

"You... this feeling... you are not 'His' agent... you are not..."

At the moment of contact with Lin Yi's will, the "Burial Body" will seemed to realize its misjudgment.

It was confused.

"Then who are you...?"

"Who are you...?"

"Not 'His' agent... but with the taste of an agent..."

The "Burial Body" will muttered to itself, sensing Lin Yi's will while admiring the fused skeleton, as if it was unfolding some kind of deduction.

The "Burial Body" continuously infiltrated the skeleton, and Lin Yi's will felt a slight stinging sensation. He wanted to resist, but a plan arose in his mind, as if he had thought of a way to get rid of this "Burial Body" will without using bone spurs.

So he half-heartedly complied, "resisting" the "Burial Body's" infiltration while retreating his will, looking like he was retreating step by step.

The "Burial Body" will didn't feel anything wrong. In its perception, since Lin Yi was not "His" agent, then being suppressed by it was only natural.

Lin Yi silently micro-managed, while constantly detonating the ashes, making the light and heat here more and more intense, until it began to penetrate and distort into the layers, and began to compress the space of the bookshelf area that was constantly being compressed under the unknown gravity...

When the "Burial Body" will occupied nearly 60% of the skeleton area, and began to continuously exert pressure and erode the core spinal bone, Lin Yi finally ignited the last part of the ashes concentrated in the skeleton.

It was also the purest part of the ashes.

"The time has come...!!"

Lin Yi let out a low shout, and suddenly an eye burst open on the twisted and jagged spine!!

Eye within the bone!

This was a hidden card that Lin Yi had learned from Wei Liang's impatient words!

Wei Liang said that building a "puppet" is like assembling a Gundam, which contains multiple pieces of information. As everyone knows, an indispensable thing in Gundam is the power core, and this is his inspiration for building the Eye within the Bone!

Kuai Hongji saw this at a glance, so he threw a tomato over as a fake center when he finished building it.

Not only that, Kuai Hongji also tampered with the heart, so when the "Burial Body" will controlled Zhang Lingzhen's hand to crush the heart, not only did it not achieve any results, but it also directly crippled half of his arm as if he had been poisoned.

The heart was a cover, and detonating the ashes was also a cover. The purpose of all of this was to make the "Burial Body" relax its vigilance, and the Eye within the Bone was the real core.

As Lin Yi activated it, a terrifying energy condensed and formed in the Eye within the Bone, and was finally driven at an extremely high speed, producing a violent chain reaction.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

As if a nuclear power was activated, the space around the Eye within the Bone directly twisted. The condensed ashes released a dazzling orange-yellow Mach ring. Soon, the Mach ring changed from orange-yellow to cobalt blue, and then continued to ferment from cobalt blue. After a series of color changes, the light spot turned into a faint gold, like a bone cracking open from the middle, revealing an eye, and shooting out a dazzling colorless light.

But everything around was distorted into a phenomenon that completely lost its physical logic.

Sensing the abnormality in his body, the "Burial Body" will finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

However, before it could react, Lin Yi's deep roar resounded through the soul, drowning out the whispers of countless chaotic souls.

Lin Yi's roaring will had only one word—

"Open—!!"

"Buzz buzz buzz... Boom—!"

The Eye within the Bone completely erupted, and the pure and ultimate transcendent power wave directly spread out from the Eye within the Bone in a destructive manner!

As far as the light reached, even the Eye within the Bone itself was destroyed—in fact, the Eye within the Bone was the first to be destroyed!

Secondly, some of the surrounding skeletons were destroyed, and then the destructive wave spread out indiscriminately, destroying the entire skeleton into powder, and then crushing the powder!

"You... you...? !" The "Burial Body" will was so frightened that it couldn't speak. In Lin Yi's perception, only its frightened voice remained, caused by being beyond its control. "You destroyed my body?! You madman! You madman!!"

"What a perfect work of art... you just destroyed it like that?! Just destroyed it like that!!"

The "Burial Body" will roared hysterically, as if it had lost not only a perfect framework, but also some kind of opportunity, a chance to break through the current situation...

"'Yours'... oh right, strictly speaking, what you said is also correct." Lin Yi's will spoke slowly, coldly and indifferently, "But no matter how gorgeous the appearance of a firework is, it's useless. Momentary splendor is the meaning of its existence."

This was Lin Yi's idea when he built it, a one-time thing, without considering subsequent recycling and reuse plans at all, only pursuing maximum effect, wishing that even the bone fragments could generate heat, the ultimate capital flow play.

Put on a firework show for you, and when all the units come to see it, things will be simple on Tian Bufan's side.

"Enjoy it... after all, this was never prepared for you from the beginning..."

The "Burial Body" will's voice trembled: "What did you say...? !"

Lin Yi didn't speak, just feeling the continuous annihilation process after the skeleton was shattered. After the ultimate eruption of the ashes, the entire skeleton would not even have any residue left, and after his will could not attach itself, it would return to the main body in the form of dream building.

Now, he is just a person watching the ultimate bloom of brilliant fireworks, and then waiting for it to wither together with the "Burial Body" will.
