"Who else could it be if it wasn't me?" Yi Lin smiled slightly and stepped forward.
Ling Yiyi.
Yi Lin silently read the girl's name in her mind.
"sit."
The girl smiled lightly, moved her body to the side, patted the bench next to her, and motioned for Yi Lin to sit down.
Yi Lin did not refuse and sat side by side with the girl.
However, the distance between the two people's shoulders was maintained by about twenty centimeters.
After Yi Lin sat down, she looked forward quietly without speaking.
"Why...why did you lie to the dean again that you and I have incompatible personalities?"
Ling Yiyi's tone was a bit complaining.
"hehe."
Yi Lin smiled and didn't explain much.
"You guy..." Seeing that Yi Lin didn't explain, Ling Yiyi didn't ask any more questions.
Yi Lin closed her eyes.
Enjoy a rare moment of tranquility.
Quiet as water.
It was as if beside her, all the troubles, all the pain, all the memories would be diluted by the tranquility around her, and everything would become irrelevant.
As long as she's here, that's fine.
All is well.
"you……"
Ling Yiyi suddenly turned her head and stared at Yi Lin: "You seem a little different."
Yi Lin's fingers trembled slightly. Although she knew that Ling Yiyi couldn't see, for some reason, when facing her eyes, Yi Lin always had the illusion that her thoughts were being seen through, and she looked away without leaving a trace: "What's different?"
Ling Yiyi tilted her head, and a strand of soft bangs slipped down: "Hmm... I can't tell, I feel like the smell on you has become a little different."
smell?
Yi Lin's expression changed slightly.
He knew that Ling Yiyi suffered from "optic atrophy" many years ago, resulting in vision loss and eventually complete blindness.
But at the same time, her sense of smell and hearing are much sharper than ordinary people. This smell...
Could it be that the smell of blood still lingers on him?
Before Yi Lin went out this morning, she rubbed herself hard.
There should be no bloody smell left behind.
"You have a cold." Yi Lin said firmly.
"Bah, you just caught a cold." Ling Yiyi spat lightly, but did not dwell on the matter for too long. She asked softly: "You should have finished the 'retest', right? How are your scores? Which university do you plan to apply for?
Is it...far...from here?"
"Well, fortunately, I have no plans yet."
"Are you okay lately?"
Yi Lin smiled and said, "No, everything is normal."
"Really?" Ling Yiyi lowered her head.
"Yeah." Yi Lin said firmly.
"You..." Ling Yiyi suddenly asked in a low voice: "You can't have a girlfriend, right?"
Yi Lin was stunned when he heard this.
Ling Yiyi chuckled and continued: "You smell like perfume."
"!"
Yi Lin quickly rolled up her clothes and smelled them carefully twice.
"without……"
He was about to deny it, but the next moment, he stopped laughing, and then he realized that Ling Yiyi was testing him.
"That's why I said, your personality and I don't get along."
Ling Yiyi's tone was a little more surprised: "You actually have a girlfriend? Is she beautiful?"
"Well, that's not true. But I did meet a friend, um, a pretty good friend."
"Really?" Ling Yiyi smiled slightly: "Let me get to know you when you have time? After all, we have known each other for these years, right? You have to let me help you check it out, right?"
"I already said I'm not my girlfriend anymore..." Yi Lin argued.
"Hehe..." Ling Yiyi suddenly narrowed her eyes and laughed.
His eyes are curved like two crescent moons.
"Okay, I believe you."
Yi Lin shrugged helplessly: "Okay, if there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first."
"good."
Ling Yiyi nodded, didn't say anything more, just put on the headphones again, closed her eyes, and smiled quietly.
Yi Lin's expression was calm and she walked forward for some distance.
Suddenly, Yi Lin turned around and stared at the quiet figure in the corner of the yard through the brilliant sunshine.
This glance is like traveling through time and space.
The figure in the memory quietly overlaps with the quiet shadow not far away.
"..."
Soon, Yi Lin took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Yi Lin's eyes no longer fluctuated at all and were as calm as water.
Yi Lin came to Ling Wuyan's side.
"Her name is Ling Yiyi. Protect her at all costs. But don't let her know your existence."
Ling...?
Ling Wuyan nodded.
In an instant, he seemed to understand everything.
And...the meaning of why he survived.
…
…
Ever since that day when I accidentally used telekinesis.
After Yi Lin returned home, she began to test the limits of her current "psychic power".
Yi Lin knows very well that whether it is strength, agility or spirit, these three main attributes have "limits".
And this so-called limit seems to be the limit of life like "human beings".
But throughout the ages, there have always been many "superhuman" existences that cannot be explained by human science.
In Yi Lin's view, the "superhumans" who have left a strong mark on history throughout the ages are nothing more than breaking through the "limit" in some aspects, reaching a new realm, and becoming existences beyond ordinary people.
Arriving at... transcendence.
And this so-called "limit" is called a "lock" in the apostle circle.
After the attributes are quantified, the recognized "lock" is 10 points.
Whether they are apostles or ordinary people, they all have "locks".
Only by unlocking the "lock" can we break through the limits of human beings and achieve extraordinary results.
Once you reach the extraordinary level, your abilities will be far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In the Onigiri Mountain trial, whether it was the power that Oda Mai showed at the end or the speed that Wen Manni showed before she "ghosted", although it was scary, it was not so terrifying that it was incomprehensible.
What they have reached is the "limit" of human beings.
There are traces to follow and reasons to rely on.
But in that trial, Yi Lin easily increased her mental attributes to more than 10 points, showing terrifying telekinesis. She moved her hands and feet, and the earth collapsed. No wonder Wen Manni shouted "cheating".
Yi Rin in that state is indeed no different from "cheating".
After going through the Ghost Mist Mountain trial, without the ghost energy buff, Yilin's attribute values returned to normal.
However, the mental lock was unexpectedly loosened, and Yi Lin regained control of the power of "psychic power".
The abilities that should have been mastered after breaking through the mental lock are now displayed in advance.
Although it is a bit incredible, it is not a bad thing anyway.
Yi Lin was sitting on the sofa, and with a thought, the coffee cup floated into the air.
Then he stretched out his "tentacles" and tried hard to tear open a pack of instant coffee, trying to pour it into a cup.
hiss--
All the coffee powder was spilled on the floor.
"Is it really not that easy?"
…
…
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
In Yi Lin's house.
Many pieces of clothing floated silently in the room, and then it was as if there were countless invisible hands, folding quickly in mid-air, and then stacked together in an orderly manner.
Yi Lin opened her eyes, a thin layer of sweat covering her forehead.
"13 seconds."
Yi Lin silently counted the time.
Then he took another look at the consumption of spiritual energy.
In the past ten days, since returning from Yiwu County, Yi Lin has not stepped out of the house again, focusing on exercising her "psychic power".
It's just a pity that compared to the power Yi Lin displayed in the Guiwu Mountain trial, the "psychic power" at this moment can only be regarded as a "family harmony version" with limited lethality.
No matter the precision, power, or endurance, it is far inferior to the power displayed in the Onimiri Mountain trial.
The weight of an object lifted using telekinesis is at most the weight of Blood Jasmine.
The distance covered by telekinesis is only 21 meters.
In terms of the number of telekinesis tentacles, Yilin can currently stably control up to 9 objects at the same time.
And it shouldn’t be too heavy.
"It seems it's because his mental attributes are too low."
Yi Lin smiled, walked into the bathroom and took a shower.
While washing... summarizing at the same time.
No matter what ability it is, it must be mastered to the extent that it can be used to its fullest effect.
The same is true for telekinesis...or "skills"...
Yi Lin never relies too much on certain abilities. In his opinion, the apostle's abilities and skills are just tools.
The only thing that can really make a walking step stronger is its attributes.
In her previous life, Yi Lin had already mastered the power of telekinesis.
What Yi Lin is practicing now is just to make this "weakened version of telekinesis power" more consistent with his current attributes.
More tricks are not available yet.
——A little regretful.
After Yi Lin took a shower, she habitually changed into a sweatshirt that was easy to move around, and put all her spare luggage and some compressed food into the storage space.
The storage space of a first-order apostle is only one cubic meter in size. After stuffing this pile of daily necessities, the storage space seems much more crowded.
Early this morning, Molly had already made more than a dozen life-threatening soul-hunting calls, urging her frantically.
All members of the investigation team are already at the entrance of Jing'an Hotel and can leave at any time.
Except Yi Lin.
…
"you are late!"
Molly glared at Yi Lin, who was slowly walking over, gritted her teeth, and spoke word by word.
Yi Lin looked at the time with a calm expression.
08:59.
Snapped.
09:00.
"Just right." Yi Lin smiled slightly.
"Huh." At this time, next to Molly, a middle-aged man wearing short sleeves and gold-rimmed glasses, who looked to be in his 50s and had a decent face, snorted coldly and looked at Yi Lin with a confused look on his face.
Somewhat unpleasant.
"Xiao Li, is this the intern researcher you are talking about? Why do so many of us wait for him? He has no sense of time at all. Where did this person get inserted into the investigation team? Don't you think that this investigation
Anyone can join the team, right?"
Molly frowned. When she heard this, she felt a little unhappy, but she still explained: "He is not a related person, he is a friend of mine. He just graduated from Qingcheng High School and has a certain understanding of 'Tower Science', so...
…”
"Understand?" The middle-aged man with glasses heard this and became furious: "Just because we understand him, let him participate in the investigation of the tower? This is not playing tricks! This is a professional investigation and observation operation! Xiaoli, although it is designated above
You are the person in charge of this investigation team, but if the progress of the investigation lags behind or something goes wrong due to other 'non-professionals', I will report it truthfully!"
Molly said impatiently: "Yi Lin joined the investigation team as an intern researcher and has already received approval from the superiors. Even if you object, it is useless."
"Okay, okay..." At this time, another tall man with a kind expression, about 30 years old, with a slightly higher hairline, came over and persuaded: "Isn't this also here? The original meeting time is also nine o'clock in the morning
, this guy is not late, he is not late, just one less sentence for each of them would be fine..."
Yi Lin had been silently listening to the arguments of several people and didn't say much.
intern-researcher?
Yi Lin narrowed her eyes slightly.
The original instruction he received from Zhao Yulong was... to protect the investigation team.
But I didn't expect it to be in such a covert identity.
There are seven people in the investigation team, including Yi Lin.
Although Molly is young, perhaps because she has no enemies, she was directly appointed as the head of the investigation team.
That is the captain.
It seems that the atmosphere among this investigation team is not very harmonious.
Professional academic researchers seem to have a bad habit: they look down upon each other among their peers, and everyone thinks I am the best in the world.
In addition to Molly's age and relatively low qualifications, it is understandable that some people criticize her.
Accompanying the investigation team is a special field team.
Formation of a five-person team.
This is just a regular outdoor investigation, so this team of field personnel is not equipped with too many exaggerated heavy weapons, just conventional equipment and goes into battle lightly.
After Yi Lin arrived at the door of Jing'an Hotel, except for the man with glasses at the beginning, the rest of the research team didn't say much, but only everyone knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
The sun at nine o'clock in the morning in August is not too fierce, but it is still a bit dazzling.
There was a maglev bus parked in front of the Jing'an Hotel. Later, Yi Lin heard that the bus had been modified for military use and had reached military-grade bulletproof level. Ordinary live ammunition could not penetrate the armor of this bus.
"You shouldn't be angry, right?"
While others were loading luggage and various precision measuring instruments on the bus, Molly quietly ran to Yi Lin and asked in a low voice.
"Angry, why should I be angry?"
When Yi Lin heard this, she couldn't help but be startled.
"The person who just criticized you, his name is Ju Xiuyuan. He is an authoritative expert in the study of 'Tower Science'. He is also a doctor of mechanical dynamics and quantum mechanics. In some aspects, he is more professional than me. Although he has a bad temper, he
Actually, it’s nothing, it’s just a bit serious.”
Molly briefly introduced everyone in the investigation team to Yi Lin, briefly mentioning each person's areas of expertise.
Yi Lin felt a little headache after listening to the messy subjects, so she didn't ask in detail and just said a few words casually.
When Molly saw that Yi Lin was really not angry, she felt relieved and began to direct the loading of the equipment.
Yi Lin was a little puzzled.
Could this girl be worried about herself and go on a rampage to kill someone when she's unhappy?
Well, am I that cruel?
(Bai Xiaoyi: "?")
(Nie Hongxiu: "?")
While the investigation team members were busy loading, one of the field staff quietly came up and stuffed a micro communicator into Yi Lin's hand.
"Team leader, I am the team leader of this field team. Wang Bing, team leader, just call me Xiao Wang."
Wang Bing looks very young, in his 20s, with a clean shaven head, wearing a black vest, and a bunch of lightweight equipment hanging around his waist. He looks quite simple and honest, and even has slight dimples when he smiles.
The military-grade micro communicator is very small, smaller than the nail of your little finger. It sticks in the ear canal and is basically invisible from the outside.
Yi Lin quietly attached the micro communicator, and Wang Bing chuckled: "Leader, you don't have to be nervous. Leader Zhao has told me that if nothing major happens, I will be responsible for the safety of the site. But if something happens that cannot be solved, I will be responsible for it."
I’ll let Team Yi take action.”
When Wang Bing received this order at first, he was very puzzled.
This little furry guy who looks like he has no hair at all is actually an official member of the "Special Group"?
No matter how he looked at it, Wang Bing couldn't see anything extraordinary about Yi Lin.
But out of absolute obedience to orders, Wang Bing did not show any doubts about Yi Lin and behaved naturally.
"Perhaps it is a young master from a certain family who came to the grassroots level for training?"
Wang Bing secretly guessed deep in his heart.
Just as the investigation team was about to set off.
The top of a building in Qingcheng.
There was a flash of light.
Gone in a flash.
…
The Tower of Death is located at the junction of Jiaoyan Province, Chu'an Province and Xizhou Province.
On November 11, 2111, the moment the Tower of Death appeared, more than 200 million people nearby evaporated out of thin air.
With the Tower of Death as the center and a radius of fifty kilometers, it is still an uninhabited ruin, shrouded in a thick gray fog all day long.
This circle of uninhabited ruins is called "no man's land".
Qingcheng is located in Xizhou Province, only more than 100 kilometers away from the uninhabited land.
At the speed of a maglev bus, if the road conditions are good, it will take less than 20 minutes to reach the edge of the no-man's land.
Of course, this is under the condition that the car does not dare to go too fast.
As a professional soldier, Wang Bing is very familiar with driving this kind of vehicle. Without saying anything, he directly plays the role of driver.
The other four field staff were also sitting in the four corners of the bus.
When the maglev bus is driving, it is smooth and smooth, and you can hardly feel any bumps.
Molly lowered her head, moving up and down, shaking slightly.
Yi Lin took a look and realized that this girl had stayed up late again last night, but she actually dozed off in a short while.
Seeing this, Yi Lin didn't say much, but silently activated her telekinesis, forming an invisible "pillow" near Molly's chin, holding her slightly shaking head firmly.
By the way, think of it as an exercise in "thinking power".
Except for Molly who was dozing off, the expert who had angrily criticized Yi Lin at the entrance of Jing'an Hotel... Ju Xiuyuan, sitting in the back row, was in high spirits along the way, talking about all kinds of data that Yi Lin couldn't understand at all.
And other people listened with great interest, and even exclaimed from time to time.
Yi Lin didn't say a word during the whole journey, and An Xin just acted like a transparent person.
Ju Xiuyuan's eyes glanced towards Yi Lin and Mo Li from time to time, and his eyes were vaguely evil.
In his view, Yi Lin was just a "bastard" who came in from a well-connected household so that he could go back and improve his resume.
Ju Xiuyuan would never look kindly on such a bastard who had no professional knowledge at all.
Suck.
When Molly woke up with her penis intact, she was shocked to find that her penis had curled up into a small lump at the corner of her mouth and was floating around her mouth.
This scare almost made her suck her cock back.
"you!"
This scare immediately made Molly wake up.
Yi Lin smiled slightly and quietly removed his telekinesis power.
Snapped.
A small lump of saliva hit Molly's trouser leg.
Yi Lin smiled and made a "shh" silencing gesture.
Molly gritted her teeth. Fortunately, the two of them were sitting alone and away from other people. There were seats in the front row blocking their movements, so they couldn't see their little movements.
Molly quickly wiped the corners of her mouth and glared at Yi Lin, but since there was an "outsider" here, Molly couldn't get angry, so she asked softly: "Are you here?"
"Um."
Yi Lin subconsciously touched the death mark on her chest.
The closer she got to the tower, Yi Lin could clearly feel the existence of "it" even with her eyes closed.
Even with eyes closed, in the dark consciousness, a layer of gray fog seemed to appear in the direction of the tower. In the fog, there was a magnificent tower, rising into the sky and sinking into the sky.
This is the connection between the apostle and the tower.
Wang Bing stopped the car and said loudly: "There is no man's land ahead. Because the visibility is too poor, the car can't drive in. Everyone is going to get out of the car and walk into the no man's land!"
