380: Chapter 174: The Piece of Paper in the Wardrobe 380: Chapter 174: The Piece of Paper in the Wardrobe Countless twisted figures mixed together, too nurous to discern how many heads there were, like boiling pitch seeping out of the abyss, rushing up the moss-covered slippery cliffs.
Their dexterity was barely affected by the rocky environnt, as if they were born to climb, and although they were still a great distance from Lin Yi, it wouldn’t take long before they reached his height.
Not to ntion if Lin Yi failed to grasp the cliff and fell…
“Shasha…
Shasha…
Shasha…”
They surged like a tide, causing the entire rock face to tremble slightly, as they climbed in strange postures and roared out obscure syllables, a sound that mingled with the sea wind and the sound of waves, intermittently reaching Lin Yi’s ears:
[fanTo…
fRa forRidEn…]
[fanTo…
fRa…
forRidEn…]
The hair-raising syllables were like a rusty, blunt knife slowly scraping against Lin Yi’s bones, sending chills down his spine and filling him with an intense sense of horror…
It was unimaginable what fate would befall him if he were to be subrged by them.
Lin Yi averted his gaze, unwilling to waste any more ti on these jagged Crawlers.
“I must anchor back before they engulf …”
He gripped the crevices of the cliff, wishing he could bury himself in the moss to stay as close as possible to the damp, slippery rock face, then took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
According to the rules, one should not close their eyes for a long ti except when sleeping, because the Highly Perceptive Group are easily influenced by their surroundings when their eyes are closed, inadvertently losing their Anchor and falling through layers, but now that he had already fallen, he must do the exact opposite.
He began to calm himself, carefully listening to all the sounds around him, teasing apart the jumble of voices…
First were the fiercest winds, howling from the sea, echoing among the mountains surrounding the cliff and finally washing over this stretch of it…
He sensed the wind attentively, rging with it until he could no longer hear the wind, and the other sounds in the wind began to clear.
The sound of Nocturnal species “Abyss Crawlers” climbing up the cliff and the sinister whispers coming out of their mouths…
The deep roar like thunder caused by the movent of clouds far up in the sky rubbing against each other…
The breaking sound of waves hitting the shore…
And…
“Whoosh…
Whoosh…
Whoosh——”
The boundless black sea, with waves pushing each other’s sounds.
“I’ve found it!” Lin Yi’s heart leaped, “This is it!”
“This is not the sound of waves, this is not the sound of waves, this is not the sound of waves…”
He reminded himself over and over in his mind.
“This is the sound of pages turning, this is the sound of pages turning, this is the sound of pages turning…”
Then, he suddenly opened his eyes!
He saw an open book.
This book was none other than his note-filled notebook that had slipped from his grip and fallen into the hallway at the mont he fell through the layer!
The notebook lay open, its pages fluttering slightly, making a crisp “whoosh whoosh whoosh” sound…
Seeing the book, an indescribable joy welled up in Lin Yi’s heart.
Is this a book?
How is this a book?!
This is the Anchor!!!
The notepad now appeared on the cliff, suspended in the air in a way that did not fit with this world, moving the pages back and forth as if to greet Lin Yi.
“I am Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098, I am in front of dormitory 1414…
My notebook has fallen beside …”
“I am Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098, I…”
He stared hard at the notepad, loudly reciting this sentence in his heart, his gaze intensely focused on the notepad, which gradually blurred the surrounding vision.
Like a student covering his ears and reciting a text, he used his own voice to disrupt the outside world’s influence on himself while also solidifying his recognition of the current environnt, bit by bit continuing the iron chains between the ship and the heavy anchor.
“Shasha…
Shasha…
Shasha…”
[fanTo…
fRa forRidEn…]
[fanTo…
fRa…
forRidEn…]
The grotesquely twisting Nocturnal species sward in, soon arriving on the cliff face twenty or thirty ters below Lin Yi.
It would take less than half a minute for them to reach his height.
In this mont of dire crisis, Lin Yi made a move that would horrify anyone witnessing his actions.
He…
released the hand gripping the cliff’s crevice!
Was he seeking his own death?!
No, he…
he didn’t fall, he—he hung in the air, as if there was so powerful connection between his chest and the cliff, anchoring him there!
“I am Lin Yi, my student ID is X0230506098, I am in front of dormitory 1414…
My notebook has fallen beside …”
He braced against the rock wall, slowly pushing himself away from the cliff, then stood on the facade like Spider-Man…
Before him were the vertical sky and ocean, but his sowhat distracted pupils seed blind to the scenery before him, focusing on the void in front.
“I am in front of dormitory 1414…
My notebook has fallen beside …”
“I am in front of dormitory 1414…”
He slowly reached out and gently grasped at the void.
