Chapter 806: Chapter 371 What? You’re from the same era as Amon?_2

"Wait, wait, wait! Hold on a second!!" Lin Yi interrupted, "Are you saying... Designer Amon personally handed over this quantum giant clock to you, I mean... ’by hand’?"

"Yes..."

Lin Yi showed an incredulous expression: "You... Are you from the same era as the ’Original Apostles’?"

"Ss— " Lin Yi sharply inhaled, "No, you, no, you all... You have lived from the time the Black Moon Outpost was established until now?!"

"How did you manage that...?"

He had the look of someone who had seen a ghost, as if he were seeing a creature from the past standing before him across time.

The Night Watchman affirmed: "To be exact, we were born after Lord Amon and the others... It was they who created us."

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes involuntarily, noticing that the Night Watchman used "create," not "cultivate."

"Our existence is akin to that of a Super Nocturnal Species among humans; as long as our will is not shattered by an overwhelming power, we can absorb supernatural power and exist in this world indefinitely, continuing our guardianship."

"Willpower is undying, so one could live forever?"

Lin Yi seemed to think of something. Old Mo, fighting relentlessly in the Cafeteria with his last drop of blood — could his existence have something in common with the way Night Watchmen exist?

Could the Night Watchman... be the final drop of blood of the Black Moon Outpost?

Is that why they never leave the Black Moon Outpost?

And is it because the officials have yet to figure out how Night Watchmen come to be that they also can’t clarify on what principle Old Mo’s existence is based?

Or is it that... the officials also know it’s related to ’willpower,’ so whether it’s the Homeroom teacher or others, they include ’iron will’ training in the training before enrollment?

On one hand, ’willpower’ itself is one of the most effective defenses, and on the other hand, even if one unfortunately falls, through ’willpower,’ all the official trainers, including Class Teacher-039, could potentially become... test subjects in the exploration of becoming a Night Watchman?

Just like the Experience Student has "the grouse who live to leave the campus," "the grouse killed by Pseudo-Humans," "the quality resource of becoming a Sports Student/Art Student," the teacher and the chef, too, might have had their roles envisaged by the officials from the moment they started school...

This interconnected approach minimizes the ’waste’ and ’loss’ of ’human resources’.

The initial investment of thirty thousand yuan, damn it, wrings out all the value of exploitation to the last drop!

Such is the evil of capitalism!

"Since you’re so intrigued, why not strive towards our ’Holy Image’? Maybe you can become one of us too?"

"Become a Night Watchman?" Lin Yi asked back.

"Exactly." The Night Watchman said calmly.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but curl his lips, glancing subconsciously at where Mu Daxian was, recalling that the last person who aspired to become a Night Watchman, Mu Daxian, is now barely alive and seems to have no chance of touching the so-called ’Holy Image’ mentioned by the Night Watchman, yet the Night Watchman was offering him an olive branch...

Isn’t this gap a bit too wide?

He thought thankfully that Mu Daxian couldn’t hear his conversation with the Night Watchman, otherwise, he would surely be furious...

"I don’t want to." Lin Yi firmly refused. The position of the Night Watchman might be high, but it seemed they were imprisoned here, not free at all.

Just thinking about the Night Watchman facing the monotonous and maddening endless night for countless years made his inner self feel as if it were about to be engulfed by boundless emptiness and loneliness.

If he became a Night Watchman, he would surely go mad.

"Repeater kid, you have no awareness at all." The Night Watchman sighed speechlessly.

"I think that Mu Daxian is not bad... Why don’t you accommodate him a bit?"

"He is restless and impulsive, not greedy for achievements but somewhat rash... It’s undoubtedly a risky move for him to inherit the image of the Night Watchman," the Night Watchman refused, "You know little about him, don’t be deceived by his appearance, he has a coldness in his bones, more of a ’Mist Chasing Light Seeker’ than ’one willing to sacrifice’."

"He is not yet qualified... To become qualified, he still needs some emotional tempering."

Like someone who will leave three moles under his feet? Lin Yi scoffed to himself but dared not speak.

He gathered his consciousness and then silently dissipated it downwards, letting it slowly spread to the rest of the Art Building.

"The speed of your perception spreading is too slow, how can you find anything hesitating like this?" The Night Watchman caught on to Lin Yi’s trick, "You’re not planning to slack off for an hour and then run off with the ’final payment’? "

His little schemes seen through, Lin Yi remained impassive and readily made an excuse: "Didn’t you say ’Dream Building’ is fraught with danger? It’s always good to be cautious."

The Night Watchman gave him a sidelong glance and didn’t expose him, merely saying: "I’m about to strike the ’Holy Hall’, letting the supernatural power emanating from it provide you with a brief macro perspective..."

"The wave of energy will spread from the ’Holy Hall’ to the entire Art Building in about 10 seconds. In these ten seconds, your consciousness will be washed by the wave through every corner of the Art Building. Seize this opportunity, let the Art Building leave a deep ’first impression’ in your mind."

After speaking, he didn’t give Lin Yi any time to prepare and mustered up his strength, charging ferociously toward the ’Holy Hall’—the Quantum giant clock.

Lin Yi was shocked: "Act first and report afterward?! The Night Watchman is really pushing me into the storm!"

This was not a negotiation, but an announcement!

And it was the Night Watchman’s rebuke to him!

No spirit of sacrifice? You have not experienced the horrors of that dark age; I don’t blame you.

Don’t wish to become a Night Watchman? Night Watchmen keep company with endless solitude; you’re young, and there’s still much uncharted territory for you, I can understand that too.

But lad, you can’t feign ignorance while knowing better, thinking of pilfering a chicken; that won’t do! Today, you have no choice but to exert this force!

On top of that, wearing that watch, you’ll have to contribute even more!

The Night Watchman had actually been watching Lin Yi for a long time, and this time, he noticed them as soon as Old Mo arrived on the floor of the Art Building, taking all the extraordinary changes in Lin Yi into account.

Especially when Lin Yi climbed the steps.

He spoke as if there were no trials, but in reality, those waves of energy were the extra dishes he served up to Lin Yi, emphasizing a generous helping.

All of this was indeed seen by Old Mo, which is why Old Mo’s gaze became so complex after seeing Lin Yi step onto the stage... because at first, he felt the Night Watchman was treating Lin Yi too much like a non-person, but later found Lin Yi to be indeed inhuman.

Therefore, the Night Watchman also understood, Lin Yi really had a tough fate... as long as it doesn’t kill him, he could be worked to the bone.

"Here it comes!" The voice of the Night Watchman rang in Lin Yi’s heart, and at the same time, the heavy bell sound also suddenly rang out!

"Duang——!!"

As if the entire world had plunged into a lake, the white ripples laden with golden light surged out with an overwhelming momentum, and the terrifying aura made Lin Yi feel a fear of being torn apart.

"Don’t resist! Accept it! I say it again, accept it! Let the wave of energy, propel your perception to expand!"

The Night Watchman’s indifferent and majestic voice echoed like a valley, resounding within his soul.

"Accept! Accept! Accept!!!" Lin Yi roared in his heart, striving to calm himself down and align with the surge of the energy wave!

"Boom——"

The wave of energy swept over his consciousness...

"Bang...!"

His consciousness seemed to be washed into countless fragments...
