Chapter 970: Chapter 451: The Ashen Apostle Is Not Any Unit!

"Class B, Section 2...?"

Even though his vision was blurry, Lin Yi’s mind was exceptionally clear, and seeing the door sign of his class gave him a shock.

Looking again at his current state, an eerie feeling crept over him instantly.

"Could it be...?!"

Before he could react, he saw his hand reaching out to press down on the door handle, and the next moment, the sounds of the lock bolt turning "creak creak creak..." rang out from inside, the sound was prolonged, as if the door had been locked through multiple turns.

This made the unease and sense of the bizarre in Lin Yi’s heart grow even more intense.

Finally, the door opened...

"Squeak—creak—"

Driven by a strong urge to find out, he followed his wavering vision into the classroom.

The classroom was dark, with a large number of experience students curled up under the desks at the back of the tiered classroom, hugging the table legs and staring at the floor intently, a strong fear spreading out like gasoline on water.

In the pitch-black classroom, there were silhouettes like tombstones, all of them pseudo-human sculptures, which regained animation in the dark and emitted "rustle rustle rustle" sounds as they moved...

Outside the fogged-up explosion-proof glass windows, the sky poured with heavy rain, the white lightning tearing through the sky causing the classroom to alternate between black and white, the whole environment as dim as a gloomy trench into which no light could penetrate.

Suddenly, Lin Yi saw a dim and constantly swaying beam of light...

The light from a flashlight!

A pseudo-human sculpture holding a flashlight was dragging itself slowly through the classroom, and beside its hand was a lump of pitch-black humanoid form...

Little Genius!!

"No way...?!"

"Is this really the classroom on the night of May 6th...?!"

"When Little Genius died, I was hiding in that classroom over there..."

No wonder Lin Yi knew so well the exact moment the lights went out...

Because, at that time, the "conceptual level sculpture" contained the "will" of his future self?!

Lin Yi’s scalp tingled as if pricked by countless needles, feeling both unwilling and desperately wanting to see if his "past self" was indeed crouched by the desk for a final confirmation.

Thus, he stared longingly towards the back row of the classroom...

Up to this point, he had not realized, a sinister and eerie sense of a closed loop was falling upon him, bringing with it an indescribable fear shrouded in destiny...

No wonder the "conceptual level sculpture" seemed to be searching for something, it turns out it was "the present me" looking for "the past me"?

Or could it be that, back when I first entered the school, I was completely unaware that my future self was searching for me?

He recalled a similar premonition in his heart just before repairing the city wall in the gymnasium, but it wasn’t as strong as now.

At this moment, he heard his "past self" seemingly saying something...

The language was akin to cautions, obscure, lengthy, fragmented, yet Lin Yi could faintly hear something, as if it was saying...

"Listen to me..."

"Say..."

"Don’t..."

"Save..."

"Maozi..."

"Run..."

"Tomorrow..."

"Time..."

"Run..."

"Not..."

"This time..."

"Run..."

"Run fast..."

There appeared to be the voice of a third will!

Lin Yi’s heart shook violently, feeling as if he had fallen into a terrifying cycle.

He thought of the "Flash Paradox"—people never knew just how many Flashes were in the house the night his mother was murdered.

"Could it be... I’ve also fallen into such a paradox?"

Is there a message from an even further future self, sending messages to the past (night of May 6th) or the present (noon of May 10th)?!

The meaning of [Leave Tomorrow]... does it mean I should leave tomorrow, or should I have escaped the campus the day after May 6th, which is the morning of May 7th? _{f.r(e)e\webn.ovel.co\m}

May 7th...

"Wait...!"

A striking thought flashed through Lin Yi’s mind.

"Young Master Tian seemed to have mentioned that he tried to leave the campus on May 7th, but found it impossible..."

"On the night of May 6th, the conceptual level sculpture, which is Ashen Apostle, which is ’me’... did indeed visit Young Master Tian’s classroom, could he have gleaned some information from that?!"

What exactly happened in the future to prompt me to leave right after enrolling?

But it was impossible to leave on May 7th!

What on earth is going on?!

Lin Yi’s mind was tumultuous, as if trapped in a horrifying time loop.

At this moment, his vision began to fracture and blur once more, until it was filled with flickering lights, phantoms, and indistinct illusions.

He tried to look towards the back of the tiered classroom, without understanding why, his subconscious pushed him to take a glance in that direction...

But when he looked over there, he found he couldn’t see anything clearly, the murky classroom seemed filled with an inexplicable force, the emanating breath of such power causing his heart to race with terror, but was there something beyond reason existing there?

Could it be... Wei Liang?

"On the night of May 6th, could Liangzi have performed some unknown operation?" Lin Yi was somewhat stunned, feeling he would never be able to fully fathom what Liangzi had concealed.

But what if this sensation does not come from Wei Liang?

Was there another expert in the classroom on the night of May 6th?!

At this moment, a fierce swooshing sound reached his ears.
