Chapter 88 Mao Feiyang's 1st POV
Chapter 88 Mao Feiyang's "First Person Perspective"
Just like playing an adventure game, he can review the lit maps from a new perspective, but there is no way to go to those places that are black from beginning to end.
Without giving it any time to think, he quickly followed everyone into the stairwell.
After entering the stairwell, he did not rush down, but first looked up at the top of the stairwell.
The entire stairwell looked like a Fibonacci sequence. When I looked up, I couldn't locate my position at all. There was only a spiral extending into a dark vortex above my head.
He looked down again and saw the same Fibonacci sequence, the same dark vortex.
If he didn't subconsciously think that the area under his feet was "down" and the top of his head was "up", he would not be able to distinguish the concepts of up and down at all.
He looked towards the stairwell again and found that the door of the stairwell had disappeared out of thin air.
He made sure that he didn't move after he stood still, but... he suddenly wasn't so sure.
He was a little dazed, and his head suddenly felt dizzy.
He gradually felt that the environment around him was undergoing some unpredictable distortion, and the entire stairwell seemed to come alive.
He clearly knew that he was in a dream, but at this moment he still uncontrollably felt an emotion called fear.
He rushed down quickly, gradually catching up with "yesterday's self" and his group, then followed them out of the stairwell and through the door leading to the underground first floor of the teaching building.
……
"call--"
The cool evening breeze blew across his cheeks. Lin Yi breathed in the air and felt as if it was just yesterday.
"Maozi, you go knock on the door next. I'll follow up on time."
Suddenly, the voice of "yesterday's self" rang in his ears.
He didn't react at first, but then he realized something and subconsciously looked down...
First I saw a loose yellow sweater, then a pair of sneakers...
"I...have a body again?"
"Wait?! I am... a Maozi now?" Lin Yi was slightly startled, and then, with his head buzzing, he moved to the door of the teacher's office with somewhat stiff steps.
From this position, he saw an office door.
But this door is extremely illusory, a virtual image intertwined in the gap between light and shadow.
"He" didn't knock on the office door until yesterday when he felt something was wrong and asked, "Maozi, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Lin Yi could clearly feel that "himself" was beginning to feel fear and panic, just as he had felt Wei Shan's anger and frenzy very clearly before.
The fear twisted and entangled around him like tentacles, as if it was going to drag him into the endless darkness.
The darkness twisted, sucking in all the surrounding light like a millstone, and swallowing up everything like the mouth of an abyss.
His breathing became more and more rapid, as if his soul was about to leave his body.
It was not until "yesterday's self" gently patted his shoulder that the fear suddenly disappeared a little.
"Maozi...are you okay?" The voice of "yesterday's self" sounded in his ears.
The scene was so weird, as if my current self and my then self had swapped positions.
The following "plot" was just like yesterday. After a few words, "yesterday's self" grabbed his hand and tried to press the door handle.
From Lin Yi's perspective, there was indeed an illusory door handle. However, just as "his" palm was about to touch the door handle, the door handle suddenly twisted and turned into a dark vortex...
In the vortex, there are intermittent cries of pain that are mind-breaking.
It was as if it were a fragment of sound coming from a wind tunnel. Just hearing those few obscure syllables would make people feel short of breath, as if facing the abyss of hell.
The sound waves came intermittently, and should have been completely inaudible, but they automatically arranged and combined in his ears, forming a creepy prayer with a sharp, low, boring and dull chanting voice:
"I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome"
"No no no no……"
This horrible auditory hallucination was like a sledgehammer that almost crushed Lin Yi's spirit. He felt that he had burst out with an astonishing force and suddenly broke free from the hand of "yesterday's self".
"Lao Lin, that's not right. The situation shouldn't be like this!"
"He" shook his head frantically, gasping heavily.
“It’s actually written on the sign!”
"I think I just encountered that special situation!"
"Rule number one on the sign! If I see something other than 'Teacher's Office', I have to go up the stairs until I see the teacher's office!"
Lin Yi uncontrollably repeated what Mao Feiyang said yesterday, word for word, even the tone was exactly the same.
As he spoke, a white mist that was invisible to the naked eye filled the dark vortex. This mist seemed to be no different from the mist in the corridors of the teaching building, but when he saw it, he could clearly see the white particles in it.
"White particles... those white powder particles!!"
Lin Yi instantly thought of the white powder particles attached to his old thigh.
"This white powdery particle is a pollutant!"
Seeing the white powder particles floating towards him, "he" looked around, found the entrance to the stairwell, rushed over, grabbed the door handle of the isolation fire door, and opened the door before the white powder particles caught up with him.
Just as he pushed the door open, he suddenly thought of something, and then looked at "yesterday's self" with a serious expression, and said: "Lao Lin... remember to abide by the rules, I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he rushed into the isolation fire door and closed it behind him.
"Bang!" The isolation fire door slammed shut. Lin Yi returned to the stairwell and leaned against the fire door of the isolation room, taking deep breaths one after another.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was breathing heavily or the owner of this body - Mao Feiyang, was breathing heavily after parting with him yesterday.
Soon he was sure that it was Mao Feiyang who was panting, and he was just integrating into the role of Mao Feiyang from a perspective... because he heard "himself" muttering:
"The sign says..."
“If you are experiencing any of the above situations and you feel lost or have some physical symptoms, please do not go downstairs, go upstairs along the stairs on the left, and leave when you see the sculpture standing at the stairs.
You will meet an art teacher and start an art journey. 】”
"I can't even see the office door. It seems I can only go back along the stairs on the left."
He kept taking deep breaths to calm his panic and fear, and then he took the first step up the stairs on his left.
It is worth mentioning that when they went downstairs before, they followed the way of going down the stairs on the right hand side. At that time, the stairs presented a Fibonacci spiral that continued to go downward clockwise.
And now, when he went up the stairs on the left, he was clearly "returning along the original route", but... he couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of absurdity in his heart.
He walked step by step, not knowing how long he had been walking. He even vaguely felt that he had finished the way he came, but he did not see any sculptures at all, let alone the stairs.
He then continued to climb up the stairs...
Time flies by, but it’s easy to lose yourself wandering aimlessly up a stairwell lined with Fibonacci spirals.
Lin Yi didn't know how long Mao Feiyang had been gone, but when he noticed something was wrong, it was too late.
He discovered...the Fibonacci spiral staircase ended at some point.
He walked up the spiral staircase so smoothly that my subconscious mind didn't react at all.
Before he could even react, Mao Feiyang had already started climbing up the almost vertical stairs...
His heart was shocked, and he could not help but look down the road he came from, only to find that the end of the stairs was pitch black, as if extending into an endless abyss. Not to mention that there was no introduction to the Fibonacci spiral staircase, even the bottom of the stairs was completely invisible.
"this……?"
"When did I come to this environment? Why... I have no recollection of it at all?"
Lin Yi had a bad feeling in his heart, and he began to observe the environment around the stairs through Mao Feiyang's line of sight.
He soon discovered that the stairs he was on were surrounded by uneven stone walls covered with potholes, as if they had been carved out and then eroded by wind and water.
This is a pure stone path, like the stone steps leading to the cellar built in ancient castles in ancient Europe.
The passage created by this construction technique called stone masonry looks like it was created by cutting through rocks in solid mountains and stone walls, and is almost the same as what Lin Yi is seeing now.
Suddenly he realized something, woke up with a start, and raised his head abruptly.
"It's the light!"
The top of the stone path was still equipped with the same incandescent lamps as those in the stairwell. It was this light source, coupled with the already dim environment, that made Lin Yi instinctively unable to resist entering the stone path building from the spiral stairwell!
This kind of design completely transcends general architectural design and directly applies a series of boiling frog hunting techniques including psychological suggestion and hypnosis, which can lead the "prey" into the trap silently.
Especially for Mao Feiyang, who had experienced the previous psychological attack of being startled and felt extremely insecure - this light that represents safety is enough to alleviate the impact of the changes in the surrounding environment to a certain extent.
"Damn it... What happened to Maozi after he separated from us?"
Looking at this crisis-ridden environment, Lin Yi's heart gradually sank to the bottom.
But he soon discovered that the bottom of the valley was not the limit of how low his heart could sink.
He suddenly discovered that moss had appeared on the bumpy wall, and he didn't know when it started.
This is a stone road!
How could moss grow in here?
But...it seems that nothing is impossible.
He could only move forward more carefully - no, it was Mao Feiyang who moved forward more carefully, he was just a first-person experiencer who could understand the other person's feelings.
But he suddenly discovered that there were traces of flowing water on the stairs under his feet.
Wet water flowed out from the bumpy pits and flowed along the stone wall to the steps.
Lin Yi looked down at his sneakers. A trickle of water continued to flow down, flowing along the stone path into the invisible abyss behind.
But he clearly remembered that there was not a single stain of water on the way here!
"Is it a problem with the layers?"
"'I'... No, Maozi is traveling through the layers? Is he constantly falling through the layers, or is this a change that matches the sign on the school building?"
Lin Yi's heart was filled with uneasiness. He now knew about the problem of layer falling, but when he first entered the school yesterday, he knew nothing?
He knows nothing, how could that guy know anything?!
As expected, even he had a bad feeling, and Mao Feiyang felt even more uneasy and frightened.
"not good!"
Lin Yi found that his vision began to change, but his mind was unusually clear, and he reacted instantly - there was something wrong with what Maozi saw, and this strange vision was also synchronized with him now!
"My mind is clear... Maozi has experienced all these things. Don't panic, don't be afraid, I'm just a spectator." He reminded himself in his heart, then took a deep breath and began to walk forward against the current following Mao Feiyang's steps.
He just kept going up the stairs, following the stone wall on his left, stepping on the stone steps with gurgling water, walking and walking, walking and walking, not knowing how many times he turned, nor how long he walked, he just kept walking...
Finally, he heard the sound of water in his ears, dripping as if the spring breeze in March mixed with some late rain, hitting the window.
He remained silent, and suddenly found that the light and shadow had undergone subtle changes. When he realized something was wrong, he was shocked to find that the light in the stone path had been distorted.
The incandescent lamps in the stone passage were suddenly replaced by old kerosene lamps hanging in the passage one after another, at some point in time.
"this?!"
He suddenly looked back at the road behind him, and then he found that all the lights on the entire stone road had been quietly replaced with old kerosene lamps.
The dim candlelight flickered without wind, and the square, dark stone road suddenly became eerie.
The gurgling water flows out from the uneven cracks in the stone wall, flows through the dark green moss, flows through the dark green stone slabs with a green glow, flows along the uneven stone steps, flows down and down, as if disappearing at the end of the world.
"This passage... is also twisted!"
