Chapter 72 71. The second midnight

The sound of the giant spraying mushroom's grunting attack was still coming from outside the door. Inside the door, the gears of the clock in front of it made a twisting sound every second.

Several suns produced by sunshine mushrooms were put aside, and together with his head, they provided light for this place. Lin Li gently rubbed his head with his hands, silently waiting for the arrival of twelve o'clock.

"Knock."

Under the warm yellow sunlight, the hour and minute hands of the wall clock that refracted the light overlapped at the position of the number twelve under Lin Li's gaze.

"..."

Nothing happened.

"What the hell, where is my brain? It hasn't evolved?"

Lin Li, who was full of expectations, was suddenly at a loss. Lin Li knocked on his head, but there was nothing but pain.

"Outrageous."

After waiting for a few more minutes, nothing happened. Lin Li stood up and planned to walk out of the cabin.

The moment he stood up, his head, which was originally emitting only a faint light, emitted a dazzling white light, directly covering up the warm yellow color, covering the wall and wall clock with new colors.

Is this the power of wisdom? It’s so dazzling.

Lin Li, who had not experienced this process last night, was speechless when he looked at the brightly illuminated room.

The only pity is that in this all-wooden cabin, there is no such thing as a mirror, so I can't clearly see my current state.

But that's not the current focus. Although he didn't know why the time was delayed, Lin Li looked around, looking for that familiar figure.

The moment Lin Li turned his head, he felt a familiar slight chill on the back of his head. Instead of panicking, Lin Li turned his head in surprise and saw the phantom.

I don’t know if it’s because the light in my head is too bright now, and the illusion is even more illusory than when I saw it last night. I always feel like it will dissipate in the next second.

"Is there anything you want to tell me tonight? Brother Xuying." Lin Li covered most of his head with his clothes so that he could see Xuying more clearly.

It does seem to be even more fragile than yesterday, with the whole thing flickering in and out.

It first wrapped around the clock on the wall, and then floated in front of Lin Li. The phantom shrank together and turned into a thick white fog ball. Under Lin Li's concentrated gaze, it suddenly expanded and became larger.

At the same time, the density becomes lower and the overall color becomes lighter.

After a pause for a few seconds, it expanded again and turned into a larger and lighter shadow. After remaining in this state for a few seconds, it became larger and lighter again.

The change ended here. After a few seconds, it surged up and enveloped Lin Li's brain.

"What's the meaning?"

Because the clothes were wrapped around his head, only the cold touch came from his forehead and ears. Lin Li frowned and thought, stretched out his hand to try to touch the shadow, and then it was just like a ball of much colder air.

The shadow quickly left and began to repeat the changes just now.

Lin Li watched intently.

The shadow completely repeated the changes just now.

At this time, the shadow's body had become more unstable and weak. It may have realized that its time was running out. It originally planned to come again, but left the room midway and floated towards the door. Lin Li immediately followed.

.

Then I saw the shadow floating to the right side of the house, but there was no bookcase there, but just a simple wall, with at most a completely sealed window on it.

The shadow, which was on the verge of collapse, swarmed towards the wall and dissipated.

Different from last time, this time, the shadow was divided into two pieces on the left and right before filling up into smoke and dust.

Walking to the window, Lin Li took off the clothes wrapped around his head, illuminated the front with the light of wisdom, and while groping the walls and windows with his fingertips, Lin Li fell into deep thought.

First there are the two changes just repeated.

Lin Li probably had a guess.

Because the last action of the phantom was to wrap its own head, this action should mean 'all the changes it performed before', which refers to what will happen to its own head.

The purpose of wrapping a clock in the first place should be to remind yourself of the time.

Then the first thing Lin Li thought of was time and his own brain, which was the process of forming a wise brain.

If each change means that it takes one day to take shape, because the phantom demonstrated it twice, Lin Li remembered very clearly that the change of getting bigger only happened three times, then... it only takes three days for the wisdom brain to take shape.

The previous worries were probably correct. Dave was deceiving himself. Telling himself four days may be to let himself relax his vigilance!

He will do it to himself on the fourth day, that is, after he has acquired the brain of wisdom!

Lin Li began to think about Phantom's final actions.

Last night, the shadow flew to the wall on the left, but I didn't study the meaning of this action last night. Looking back now, it meant that I needed to be careful about Dave, so as not to be cut up and down by him and take away my head.

Do you mean?

So tonight, pointing to the right, the fog of origin of the zombies, cutting left and right, what does it mean?

He probably didn't mean that he would be split open by zombies.

The little spray mushroom said that zombies are more elegant and like to smash their heads directly and take out their heads.

"Xuying, why did you leave so early?"

After thinking for a few minutes, but unable to come up with an answer that could convince him, Lin Li shook his head, sighed, and sighed.

Looking at the faint white light reflected on the wooden wall in front of me, it had gone through the process of getting weaker just like last night, but after finally stabilizing, it was still much brighter than before.

Obviously, my mind has entered the next stage.

Maybe tomorrow night is the only thing left to get to the wise brain.

Lin Li can guarantee that if he leaves this hut without using anything to block his mind, the zombies will definitely stare at him from a greater distance and be more likely to take the initiative to attack.

This was what Lin Li had expected.

But correspondingly, there was something that Lin Li didn't expect: the shadow's existence tonight was shorter than last night.

Not counting the time it took to wake me up last night, the time it took me to guide myself to find the pictures in the book was longer than the entire process of seeing and dissipating today.

Shouldn't it be possible to see this kind of supernatural phenomenon for a longer period of time after the brain changes to the next step?

Lin Li originally thought that he would be able to see phantoms all the time after his brain was fully formed, but now it seems... that shouldn't be possible.

unreasonable.

But it's no use thinking about this.

Putting on [Big Big Wolf's discarded acceleration running shoes], Lin Li twisted his limbs and moved his muscles. Lin Li made a crackling sound all over his body.

Lin Li wrapped his head in the iron bucket again and used the collected sunlight to spread it along the bed to the door. After pretending to be sleeping inside, Lin Li left the wooden house.

Outside the door, sparse zombies were coming up to die. They couldn't advance a few blocks, so they fell at the door of the courtyard and scattered into dust.

But to ensure safety, all the lawn mowers are neatly placed near the wooden house.

Although he was not in the house, Lin Li was worried that the wisdom brain's judgment was the same as the main task one, which was to see whether zombies had invaded his home.

Grabbing all the accumulated loess, before going to find the source of the zombies, Lin Li climbed over the wall next door and came to Dave's courtyard.
