Chapter 185 Rules of Rules
On the clock tower in the center of the college, there are only minute and hour hands, and these two hands overlap 22 times a day.
Sitting in the school director's special car, Levi's eyes were fixed on the huge dial that could be seen from anywhere in the college. There were still 27 minutes before the next time the two hands overlapped.
This period of time was enough for this special car, which did not have to obey any traffic rules in the college and no one dared to drive it even if it ran recklessly, to rush to the bell tower.
The school director who was under his control had already stepped on the accelerator!
I didn't slack off at all along the way and almost bumped into several regular students. Finally, at 10:54 and 6/11, when there were still five minutes left before the two pointers completely overlapped, I arrived at the designated location.
Because today is a rest day, most students do not have classes to attend, so there are quite a few people under the bell tower.
But Levi certainly wouldn't care so much.
The moment he decided to cooperate with Chi Qing and take action against the senior officials of the academy, he completely showed his fangs and tore off all his disguises!
The piece of rule fragment hidden in the academy must be found as soon as possible. As long as the fragment is obtained, no matter what happens afterwards, it will not matter to Levi.
His biggest purpose of coming to this city has been achieved!
So, when the special car braked suddenly and stopped under the clock tower, all the students and faculty who were organizing activities or strolling around focused their eyes on Li Wei and the school directors who got out of the car.
Most of the college's directors rarely show their faces in public, so not many people recognize them, but the car with the obviously abnormal license plate and Levi's face are known to everyone.
Levi ignored the gazes around him. He just squinted his eyes and raised his head, staring closely at the two pointers that were almost touching each other!
Many people in the college knew that Levi was interviewed by the Board of Directors and the Student Union today. He should still be in the conference room now. No one understood why he suddenly appeared here.
Just as more and more regular students came after hearing the news and surrounded him, talking among themselves.
A gaseous ripple originating from the northern area of the academy suddenly spread to the entire academy!
A rule belonging to the main branch of the atmosphere was suddenly extracted!
The most basic law that maintains the execution of this world has been forcibly taken back!
At this moment, all the gases in the space were moving violently, and the friction between objects caused the originally suitable temperature of the academy to rise sharply!
In the academy, almost all the third-level professors and the few third-level regular students in the laboratory all raised their heads in shock!
The reason why the world they live in today still has such rules for human beings to survive normally is that they are all constructed by humans themselves.
The maintenance of each of these rules depends entirely on the control of the [Chosen Ones] who can no longer be called human beings and were even revered as "Gods" in the old century!
Therefore, the number of chosen ones has always been fixed, because the rules that constitute the stability of this world are fixed!
And now, a rule belonging to the atmosphere has been completely mobilized, which means that the Chosen One who controls this rule is using his authority that should belong to God!
There are a total of three Chosen Ones in the entire college: the school director, the principal, and a professor who has sworn in the cellar never to come out.
The only person who has control over powers related to the atmosphere is the president of this college who has been in charge of it for more than 20 years - Xin Guohong!
Almost everyone could feel his anger, which was the rage that had not been triggered even when more than a thousand special recruits escaped with more than eight hundred keys!
A small number of people who knew about some of the things even felt panic.
Because they know clearly that Xin Guohong's chosen authority cannot be easily transferred!
But now he released it without reservation, mobilizing the gas that sustains human survival. It was obvious that he was looking for someone in this city!
Chi Qing, who walked out of the prison in such a dignified manner, also felt the restlessness in the air, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.
"The old man is not in good health to begin with, and he is still so angry. It seems that our little friend has done a good job."
The parrot on his shoulder looked toward the clock tower in the center of the academy, her light voice sounding somewhat puzzled.
"What does the academy's [domain] look like inside?"
"I haven't been in there. The last time we came here, we did come into contact with the fragment at the end. At that time, something unexpected happened to everyone, and Xiao Lan and the others were scared."
Chi Qing chuckled as if recalling an interesting scene. "If this [domain] in the academy is specifically used to preserve the fragment, I guess the rules that make up that space should be the same as what we encountered when we first saw the fragment."
"What is that like?" The parrot's tone clearly showed dissatisfaction with Chi Qing's keeping it in suspense.
Chi Qing just lit a cigarette for himself and said with a smile.
"Weren't you also in the academy with me and my sister? You were still young at that time and didn't have that kind of perception. The entire underground human race and the emergence of all scientists are inseparable from that fragment, and its most fundamental rule is the rule itself."
“People are always greedy. When they don’t have it, they want it. When they get it, they want more. Having more is not enough. They even want to take everything for themselves. But some people forget that the things they have should not have belonged to them in the first place.”
Chi Qing spoke in a riddle, saying a bunch of words that the parrot couldn't understand, and then he turned and walked in the opposite direction of the clock tower.
The parrot, which was already angry, couldn't help but tilt its head and look at him in surprise.
"Isn't the fragment on the bell tower? Why don't we get closer first?"
"According to the rules of that [domain], the time right after we enter is the most dangerous time for us. Doesn't that old man Xin Guohong know what our goal is? Why do you think he didn't come directly to the clock tower?"
Chi Qing, holding a cigarette in his mouth and with his hands in his pockets, walked into the dark alley of the academy.
"Don't worry. Getting in the Domain is a problem, and getting out is also a problem. It's not about who gets the fragment when you first get in. The key is who can successfully take it out!"
At this time, under the bell tower.
Levi also felt the heat of the air, but the moment the heat rose, the light stone he carried with him dispersed the gathered gas.
This stone represents the most authoritative atmospheric rules in the world, which excludes any third party from manipulating the gas!
But Levi could also clearly feel that the stone could not last very long. It was not that it could not do it, but that his level was too low, and there was a huge gap between him and the person who controlled the power of the atmosphere!
But Levi didn't have time to care about these things, because under his own eyes, the hour hand and minute hand on the clock tower dial finally overlapped completely!
Without any hesitation, Levi raised the black straight knife that he had wiped the blood off, held the handle with both hands, and with great force, inserted it straight into the shadow of the clock tower dial on the ground!
"Buzz!"
When the blade collided and rubbed against the hard concrete floor, a dull vibration was heard!
And at the moment when the straight knife named Vanity was inserted into the shadow of the clock tower, the clock on the clock tower standing in the center of the academy, which had experienced countless years of wind and rain, suddenly stopped turning!
The next second, a huge pendulum clock chimed!
The dull sound of the bell spread throughout the entire academy. The originally restless air became still, and the wandering clouds in the sky seemed to have been paused, standing still.
At this moment, the pointer on the clock tower began to turn slowly!
Every time it passed a time zone, the whole world seemed to be stripped of a color, the bell was still echoing, and it kept ringing for 12 times, and the minute and hour hands on the dial finally stopped at XII!
All the colors of the world seemed to have disappeared, leaving only black and white. When Levi looked around again, he discovered that the square in front of the clock tower, which had originally gathered many people, now only had a few dozen formal students!
They all looked around in confusion. This place still seemed to be a college, but it was completely different from the colleges they were familiar with. It could even be said that they were two different worlds!
At this moment, Levi suddenly felt that something seemed wrong with his body.
He frowned slightly and raised his hand.
He used to be able to control gravity with ease, as if it was an organ in his body, but now his control over gravity has completely disappeared!
Not only gravity, but none of the skills Levi mastered could be used at this time.
He immediately called up the player information and saw the changes on the skill board.
[Entering a special area, skills are temporarily blocked]
[Skills (locked status: ): Gravity Control (Intermediate), Atmosphere·Weather (Intermediate), Mind Control (Intermediate), Cell Regeneration (Intermediate), Atmosphere·Other Branches (Elementary)]
