#416 - Security Ashes Extinct

The faint light from the old kerosene lamp barely illuminated a small area in front of the security guard. As he approached step by step, the light and shadow swayed on his burly figure, projecting huge and distorted shadows, like monsters baring their fangs and claws, crawling wantonly on the walls.

Each time his foot landed, it felt like a heavy blow to the ground, and the entire ground seemed to be trembling slightly. That oppressive feeling was like a materialized wave, surging forward, causing fear and as if an invisible big hand had gripped the heart tightly.

"It's the security guard, but... what a strange scene!"

Lin Yi's heart trembled. He rarely saw the security guard in a brightly lit place. Most of the time, the security guards walked in the darkness. The old kerosene lamps in their hands released light, but they themselves devoured the light, no, devoured pollution.

But now he realized that there was a black field around the security guard!

This black field blended with the night when outside, making it impossible to see clearly. Now that it appeared under the light, it was revealed.

What a strange picture.

"Is that the security guard's domain?" Lin Yi thought thoughtfully. Just then, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be figures behind the security guard…

"Huh, that is…"

Those were several chefs wearing aprons. Due to the light, Lin Yi couldn't see the color of the aprons clearly, but judging from the pig-slaughtering knives in their hands, they should be black-aproned chefs.

Darkness followed, and the boundary continued to extend. When the dark boundary came to Lin Yi's side, a strong sense of suffocation instantly enveloped him, as if someone had pressed his head into the water.

The female dormitory manager next to him didn't dare to breathe and quickly raised the old kerosene lamp in her hand to block it in front of her.

The light of the old kerosene lamp seemed to split a corner of the darkness like a blade, causing it to enter the subsequent orange-lighted area.

Lin Yi resisted the darkness and entered it.

It wasn't until the orange-yellow light fell on Lin Yi that he felt a sense of warmth.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo…"

He gasped a few breaths, only to feel that this oppressive feeling was really terrifying, and at a certain moment, it gave him the feeling that it was no less than the night watchman.

At this moment, a shadow was cast on Lin Yi. The security guard had already come to him, standing here like an iron tower.

"Gulu…"

Lin Yi swallowed and looked up, barely able to see the security guard's face.

The security guard's facial contours looked tough and stern, as if carved from rock, revealing a primitive and barbaric sense of oppression.

His brow bones were high, and his eye sockets were deep-set, unlike the bones of an Asian. The light and shadow cast a shadow on his face, making the contours of his face even more angular.

He also had a thick and fluffy beard on his face, tangled together like a thicket of thorns.

In his deep eye sockets, there was a blazing golden light like the scorching sun, but it also carried extreme icy coldness, as if it could penetrate the soul.

He was not at all puzzled that the librarian was not by the counter, and then he looked at Lin Yi.

When Lin Yi was seen by him, his body trembled subconsciously, as if a cold blade had cut across his skin.

The security guard frowned slightly, his eyes like a lone wolf on a winter wasteland, revealing fierceness and majesty. If Lin Yi had not experienced these days of training, this one glance would have been enough to make his legs weak.

Finally, the security guard stretched out his hand towards Lin Yi.

His palms were extremely large, like cattail leaf fans, and there were thick calluses on his palms and knuckles, indicating that he had experienced many battles.

Seeing the palm constantly magnifying in front of him, a thought of retreat sprouted in Lin Yi's heart, but as soon as this thought emerged, the security guard spoke, his voice low and extremely oppressive, like waves slowly washing over the beach: "'Don't·Move'."

Before Lin Yi could react, an invisible force solidified the space like glue.

"Suppression" and "Imprisonment"!

In this instant, these two words popped into Lin Yi's mind inexplicably.

The security guard's heavy palm rested on his shoulder, and he quickly discovered that the extraordinary power in his body surged uncontrollably. Auras of various colors gushed out of his body as if they were in disorder, surrounding him and wandering around without any regularity.

The security guard didn't speak, but Lin Yi felt that the security guard's palm began to heat up, like a branding iron, about to burn his shoulder.

But a strange scene began to appear. Another aura began to emerge from Lin Yi's body. It was an extremely thin aura, like the rolling dust that could be seen everywhere in the yellow sand. When this aura appeared, Lin Yi's heart was shaken!

"'Ash'?!" He almost exclaimed.

"That's not right! Wasn't 'Ash' eliminated with the help of the boss? How…?"

"Art Building!"

"'Angel'!"

"'Ash' originated from 'Angel', and I was once so close to 'Angel', so I was re-stained with 'Ash'? !"

Before Lin Yi could figure it out, the strange whistling sound suddenly rang in his ears:

[Whoosh——Whoosh——]

Immediately afterwards, figures of grinning angels emerged from within the "Ash." These grinning angels appeared in the air like virtual images, and their already illusory ghost-like postures seemed to have an extra sense of cyberpunk blur.

"I said…" the security guard said leisurely, his deep voice like thunder rolling, "'Don't·Move'!"

When those three words were spoken, Lin Yi felt his eardrums bulge, as if he had heard some sounds that did not belong to the category of human language. Immediately afterwards, the grinning angels that were originally baring their teeth and claws and rising wantonly in the phantom were all solidified in the "Ash", and could no longer move.

They were frozen in an extremely hasty manner, like a videotape being played suddenly pressed the pause button.

Immediately afterwards, the security guard slowly stretched out his hand, reaching into the seemingly virtual light curtain, and grabbed the grinning angel's throat, dragging it out of the light curtain, as if a farmer was carrying an old goose by the neck.

Lin Yi's eyes widened. He couldn't understand how the security guard did this at all. When he faced the grinning angel, it was like trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water, but the security guard seemed to be really able to catch the moon.

It was as if the layers were being tricked.

The female dormitory manager watched such a scene in shock, not only because a large amount of "Ash" beyond her knowledge emerged from Lin Yi's body, and countless figures of grinning angels emerged from the "Ash", but also because of the security guard's miraculous "capture" method.

The entire process of escaping the art building flashed through Lin Yi's mind, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

He was indeed chased by many Grinning Angels, but weren't all those Grinning Angels lured into the 'Obsession Sculpture Corridor' and killed?

Why are there still so many?

Could it be that he picked them up during the process of going from the art building lobby to the observation deck?

But at that time, he remembered encountering the Aberrant Angel, or what he perceived to be an attack from that kind of existence... Could it be that those things brought the Grinning Angels?

But later, didn't the Grinning Angels just hover around him without attacking him?

Could it be…

Could it be… that the Grinning Angels hovering around me weren't because they didn't want to attack me, but because… I was already 'full'?!

He was like a container, filled with Grinning Angels, so more Grinning Angels couldn't fit into his body?!

《Filled》

"Damn…" The moment he thought of this, Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine, and all the muscles in his body couldn't help but tremble.

And now, the security guard's operation was like a fisherman, hauling him, this 'fishing net,' out of the water, intending to catch all the fish in the net in one fell swoop?

But with so many Grinning Angels, how long would it take for the security guard to catch them one by one?

Just as this doubt arose in Lin Yi's heart, the security guard seemed to respond to his question telepathically.

His rock-like, resolute facial contours twitched slightly, and a row of teeth appeared from within his beard. Lin Yi seemed to see him grinning ferociously.

No, he wasn't grinning ferociously, but rather, with a ferocious expression, he was chanting some kind of ancient maxim.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

The voice was obscure and lengthy, extremely similar to the Precept Edict, or perhaps it was the Precept Edict, or some other language.

What Lin Yi thought of was that this might be some kind of method of 'Linguistics'.

And as the maxim was chanted, the security guard's eyes began to bloom with brilliant golden light, like two blazing suns. Lin Yi felt that this was like the Ghost Rider's Penance Stare, and even without making eye contact, his soul seemed to be about to be scorched.

He avoided some of the line of sight, but was still curious about the means used by the security guard.

The frozen Grinning Angels all let out painful wails in this aria. They wanted to struggle, but were powerless.

And the terrifying power surged into the layers like a torrent from the Grinning Angel strangled by the security guard as a hub, directly affecting all the Grinning Angels.

This scene was like using a special key in Warcraft to select a unit in a squad, and the target covered the entire squad.

Finally, the security guard released the huge palm that strangled the Grinning Angel's throat, and then virtually grasped the air.

At that moment, a secret pattern flashed faintly in his palm, and then an endless azure aura entangled like a torrent, interweaving into an incomparably huge baseball bat.

When the baseball bat took shape, the golden aura once again attached to it, as if it were enchanted.

When the golden aura surged over the baseball bat, the entire baseball bat was covered with spikes, and the entire baseball bat looked like it had become a mace.

This was exactly the one that Lin Yi had seen in the security guard's hand on the night he entered the school – no, that model of mace.

The security guard gripped the handle of the mace, exerted force suddenly, and swung it towards the patch of Grinning Angels.

At this moment, the lengthy and obscure chanting ended with the only two words that Lin Yi could understand:

"Annihilation!"

He swung the mace, as if wielding the power of a world.

"Peng peng peng…"

The mace swept across a piece, and this familiar sound and rhythm seemed to sweep across not the Grinning Angels, but patches of Nightwalkers.

Perhaps, at this moment, the Angel Sculptures and Nightwalkers were no different in front of the security guard… Lin Yi thought to himself.

The Grinning Angels were completely unable to resist being annihilated, and the security guard's mace was covered with a mixture of white powder and ketchup…

Lin Yi's pupils contracted violently as he watched this scene.

He clearly remembered that on May 6th, the day he entered the school, when he first saw the security guard, the security guard's mace was stained with such substances!

He originally thought that this was left over from his killing of the Nightwalkers, but now it seemed… that what he killed at that time was not Nightwalkers at all, but… Grinning Angels, or Angel Sculptures?!

Lin Yi shivered subconsciously. In other words, didn't that mean that the Grinning Angels had been eyeing their group on the night of their school entrance?!

Come to think of it… the Fanatics weren't that afraid of the light at all, so why didn't the Weird Art Female Teacher approach them?

Was it really just because she was afraid of the light?

Perhaps there was another hidden reason!

Moreover, the main purpose of the Fanatics didn't seem to be pure slaughter, but to guide others to join their so-called ranks of 'Glorious Evolution'…

If the Weird Art Female Teacher wasn't trying to kill them from the beginning…

Then the only reason that could have made her give up waiting and retreat directly was that some kind of threatening existence had come!

Nightwalkers?

Nightwalkers were no threat to them at all, so it could only be the Angel Sculptures!

Any kind of Angel Sculpture liked to eat them!

At this moment, Lin Yi's mind exploded with a mushroom cloud, as if some kind of logic had reached a closed loop, and his thoughts instantly became clear.

After eliminating the Grinning Angels, the security guard stopped, seemingly without any intention of eliminating the 'ashes' on Lin Yi's body.

As soon as the security guard stopped, those 'ashes' merged into Lin Yi's body like dust returning to the earth.

At the same time, Lin Yi also felt that the invisible force that had imprisoned him had dissipated…

"The security guard didn't eliminate my 'ashes'? Why?" Lin Yi was very puzzled.

At this time, the security guard looked down at him, and the blazing golden light slowly converged, and finally only a pair of eagle-like golden pupils remained, no longer filled with the soul-scorching aggressiveness.

The security guard was silent, and did not speak for a long time.

The black-aproned chefs following behind seemed to have discovered something, and muttered to each other, but Lin Yi couldn't hear what they were saying.

The female dormitory supervisor took a deep breath, cheered herself up like a blower, and then summoned up her courage to call out: "Um… Security Guard…"

The security guard heard the words, looked down at the female dormitory supervisor who was only about half his height, glanced at the old kerosene lamp in her hand, and waited for her to continue.

"Um… According to the 'Dormitory Supervisor Rules', I request you to help me strip away my 'Dormitory Supervisor' identity," the female dormitory supervisor said word by word.
