Chapter 151 Safety Valve
The strong and disgusting smell of blood rushed into his nostrils. Lin Nian subconsciously leaned back a certain distance. He let go of the dying Okubo Ryoichi in his hand, but the other person was hanging in the air, still holding on to the air in front of him with both hands. .
"Hey, calm down." The blonde girl leaned against Lin Nian and nudged him, so that he didn't panic and fall off the towering corpse pusher at his feet.
"What the hell?" Lin Nian looked confused as he looked at Ryoichi who was hanging in the air in front of him as if he was pinched by the force. Although it was a bit out of place, this scene that should have been tragic and terrifying felt inexplicably a little joyful in his eyes, just like It was as weird as if the computer game had some kind of bug, which temporarily diluted his slight panic.
"It's a dream. You are still dreaming now." The blonde girl leaned on Lin Nian's back and looked up at the 'human lanterns' on the ceiling with admiration. The dark red light reflected by the blood-stained crystal lamp The splendid casino was filled with blood, and the white-scaled monster was particularly alluring and terrifying.
"You call this a dream? None of the computers in Internet cafes have this kind of resolution." Lin Nian raised his finger and pointed at Liang Yi's slightly sticking out tongue. Small bloody holes scratched by his teeth could still be seen on it, and his raised arms were full of blood. It is a scale with sharp edges, and the fingertips are so sharp that they can cut through the alloy, and the whole person becomes a deadly 'weapon'.
"Of course, the scene you see now is not entirely a dream. It should be regarded as a scene that I 'edited' from the reality that happened simultaneously."
"Does that mean this scene is happening in reality?" Lin Nian turned around and saw the blond girl appearing next to a headless corpse wearing black feathers at some point, struggling to pluck it from the other person's clenched hand. Come out with the intact Nokia.
"Yes, you should know that the passage of dreams is dozens of times slower than reality, right? So as we speak, in reality you are closing in at a rate of one meter per second, until it is inevitable to cut it off in the end. The throat of an unlucky guy." The blonde girl said while sitting cross-legged in a pool of blood, playing with the Nokia without looking up.
"How much time do I have?" Lin Nian turned to look at Liang Yi, whose face was filled with pain but with a hint of relief in mid-air.
"Ten minutes?" The blonde girl thought for a moment: "This is probably the maximum time I can get for you right now, right?"
"Is the length of time you can buy based on my control over 'Snap'?"
"You have a good brain, no wonder you can get Shilan's scholarship." The blond girl said with a smile: "But I have to correct you a little, after you succeed in the bloodshed, your speech spirit is no longer a 'moment', but belongs to the same sky. A high-ranking word spirit in the same lineage as the King of Wind, ranked 84th in the periodic table of word spirits."
Lin Nian raised his head and looked at the girl. The girl smiled and continued: "Calvino's traditional art, the hunting composition of the hunter and the lion, the pedestrians on the cold winter night -"
"The absolute view of time, Time Zero." Lin Nian said, "I thought only the principal could use Time Zero."
"All users with Setsuna can use Time Zero, but few people will give up absolute speed in exchange for functional areas." The blonde girl said: "The skill of violent blood is very dangerous, but how much does it cost? The risk will be rewarded. When all the gunmen shot at you and Ryoichi, you activated 'Time Zero' and gave him the right to move in the field when the last trace of sanity was still alive, so he could avoid it. Those fatal bullets. But on the other hand, after completely losing your mind, you now have to kill him with your own hands."
He silently looked down at himself, who was as strong and powerful as a monster. Even in his 'dream', he could feel the terrifying power hidden in this figure. It was a powerful force that could easily destroy and shape everything. In this form, I seem to gradually understand everything.
But he was inexplicably afraid of himself like this, as if he had faced the hidden fear in his heart. He once thought he was a monster, and someone told him that being gifted was not his fault, but now it seems that he has betrayed that person. Like his gentle words, he was running towards the twisted and terrifying road.
"Who are you?" Even Lin Nian had to doubt the identity of the blond girl again at this time, because in this scene, the other party was the only one who was not afraid of his own existence, or in other words, from beginning to end, this girl showed It's like he already knew everything.
If the blonde girl is the personification of Lin Nian as mentioned before, then why does she know something that Lin Nian has no way of knowing?
The blond girl was lying to him. This was a very bad inference, because once it was established, it meant that there was a terrible 'thing' living deep in Lin Nian's mind that could easily erase part of his memory, and this 'thing' actually He stayed with him for decades.
The blonde girl was playing Tetris boredly on her Nokia. When she looked at Lin Nian, who was standing on the mountain of corpses, the expression on his face seemed to indicate that the other person had asked a boring question: "Instead of figuring out what I am, don't you?" Should you be more curious about what you are?"
Lin Nian looked down at the spotless blonde girl in a white hospital gown in a pool of blood. He was silent for a long time before speaking, but he took the initiative to change the subject: "The king is dead."
"Dead, but not completely dead. He was killed by you once, and now you have killed him a second time. Do you think you have a chance to kill him a third time in the future?" The blonde girl took the photo. Take a picture of the headless corpse next to you.
"There is no true body." Lin Nian nodded to show that he understood what the other party meant: "Where is his true body?"
"The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, and the Fierce Ghosts are just one of the caves where he hides. The rise and fall of the Fierce Ghosts is not important to him. This organization that has entangled the eight Sheqi families for decades is just a tool for him to achieve his lofty goals. Well, if you want to really catch him by the tail, you can only figure out his purpose and actually swallow his cheese. Only then will this pathetic rat poke its head out and be driven mad by greed. We pinned him to the ground and squeezed out his intestines." The blonde girl said lightly and harsh words that were completely inconsistent with her beautiful and childish face.
"Why did I suddenly enter a violent state of blood?" Lin Nian held the protruding facial bone on the side of his cheek with his right hand and tried to break it, but gave up after trying to no avail.
"This is your safety valve. Once your life is threatened, someone will open this valve, and the beast behind it will be released to devour, chew, and digest everything in sight."
"The person who called General Wang is the one who decides whether I am safe or not?" Lin Nian said coldly: "Why should he have the final say on whether I am safe or not?"
"I can't answer you about this because this question also touches one of the safety valves."
"More than one safety valve?" Lin Nian's heart sank.
"Each safety valve represents a different warning. When the valve is opened, the types of abnormalities in your body are also different. Once I answer your question just now, one of the valves will become loose. I think you don't want to do it again. Are there any further changes in the third degree of violent blood?"
"Of course I don't want to, but what do you mean by three times of violent bloodshed?"
"Now you are in the third stage of violent blood. Each stage will refine your bloodline exponentially. In the first stage, a few scales will appear, and the speech spirit, endurance, and neurological reactions will be enhanced. Sanity will be preserved on a large scale. In the second and third stages, The first stage is to exchange the remaining sanity for stronger power. Now you are in the third stage. Now with your power, you should be able to kill the head of the family named Yuan who is against you."
"But this state is very dangerous, isn't it?" Lin Nian whispered.
"Yes, even you will not distinguish between friend and foe in this state. Your situation is special. Turning on the first level of violent blood is already the limit. Refining the bloodline further will trigger a valve related to 'interruption of consciousness'. When you If you step into the second level of violent blood, you will go into shock, and if you are in shock when you are personally threatened."
"I will directly enter the third level of bloodshed like today and kill all living people in sight." Lin Nian said.
"To be precise, 'all living things'." The blonde girl nodded.
"Will Ryoichi be killed by me?" Lin Nian looked at Okubo Ryoichi and asked softly.
"If I didn't show up, he would be dead, but now I'm here." The blond girl appeared next to Lin Nian without warning and looked at Okubo Ryouichi with him, holding the Nokia mobile phone behind her back. Tetris continued to stack up, and soon the words 'GAMEOVER' were displayed.
"What can you do?" Lin Nian asked.
"There are very few things I can do, but they are all crucial." The blonde girl said, "For example, waking you up from a rampage is one of the few 'authorities' I have."
"Then I should be lucky enough to meet you."
"No." The blonde girl shook her head and her eyes were calm: "It is your misfortune to meet me."
Lin Nian opened his mouth but nothing came out. The blond girl beside him chuckled: "Aren't you going to continue asking me what 'thing' is?"
"You are nothing."
"Hey, who are you scolding?"
"You know that's not what I mean." Lin Nian said: "But you don't mean this nonsense about 'I am your personality' because I can't possibly know so much knowledge that I have never been exposed to. Listen, After what you just said, I think you should be——"
"Don't make it so clear." The blond girl was a little surprised, but she immediately raised her hand and pressed it lightly with two fingers to stop Lin Nian's next words: "You are such a smart kid, but there are some things you want to know. Don't ask. I guessed it." , don’t say anything either.”
Lin Nian stared into her eyes and saw helplessness and a hint of prayer?
So he nodded silently.
"Go back, the time is almost up." The blonde girl took back her hand: "Also, remember one thing, Okubo Ryoichi should be a corpse in this script, but because of my intervention, he will not die, so .Stay careful.”
Lin Nian's eyes widened slightly, understanding the subtext of the blond girl.
"Be careful." The blonde girl nodded and looked at Okubo Ryoichi and said calmly: "Perhaps, this accident is the closest opportunity you have to uncover the truth."
"I heard the truth is always harsh."
"Is that what you think?" The blonde girl glanced at Lin Nian in surprise: "It's good that you think so. It's getting late. Close your eyes. It's time for me to take you back."
Lin Nian closed his eyes obediently, but the next moment he felt two soft flaps pressing against his forehead. In the darkness, he heard the girl kissing the monster whisper softly:
“The soul misunderstands its identity because of its circumstances, and does not know that it is a Brahmin until a sage reveals the truth.”
"So, don't be afraid, Lin Nian, even if the truth is cruel, I will always be with you until forever." Amidst the mountains of corpses and sea of blood, the girl hugged the ferocious white monster, her golden eyes full of It is a hard realization.
He didn't know why, but his consciousness gradually drifted into the darkness, as if he had fallen into the sea, watching the waves on the water sink deeper and deeper.
