Chapter 93 Art Building Rules
Chapter 93 Art Building Rules
Mao Feiyang chewed over these words again and again, and then seemed to have memorized them all before he continued to turn the pages:
“The Art Building is one of the most special buildings on campus. When in the Art Building area, please give priority to complying with the rules of the Art Department. Other rules can be used as reference. If you encounter a conflict with the Art Department rules, please comply with the Art Department rules.”
“Please keep the following rules in mind to ensure that you can quickly adapt to the artistic life:”
"1. Don't be confused because the architectural style of the Art Building is very different from that of S City University."
"In order to increase the artistic atmosphere, the Art Building was built using some Gothic and Baroque architectural styles. If you see the word 'castle' in ordinary documents, please assume it is 'art building'."
"In order to create an artistic atmosphere, our school has tried a cutting-edge technology that can create a virtual environment, so if you find that the castle is built on the edge of a cliff and there is an ocean under the cliff, please stay calm and tell yourself that these are just illusions, or tell yourself that the campus environment should be like this.
Note: Never doubt whether you are on campus because of the realistic environment. "
"2. All the light in the castle comes from the sun and candlesticks. Do not go to areas without any light, and do not enter or leave unfamiliar rooms at will."
“The castle is located in the night for a lot of time, so most of the lighting is provided by candelabra.”
"Because of the castle's design, there will be a very strong wind blowing occasionally, but you don't have to worry about the candles, they won't go out."
"3. The castle rarely experiences distortion or stretching. If you encounter this, make sure you are within the illumination of the candlestick until the distortion or stretching disappears."
"4. Since the castle is under renovation, the only areas open to you are the art classroom and the observation deck."
“The observatory is directly accessible through the internal passage of the art classroom and can be used for sketching or viewing. It can be visited at any time during art classes.”
“When entering or leaving the art classroom, just make sure the doorplate is marked as “Art Classroom”. You don’t need to pay attention to the classroom number.”
“You need to knock on the door when entering or leaving the art office, and you can only enter after being invited by the art teacher.”
"5. The gallery and sculpture classroom are located deep in the castle and can only be entered during class time with the guidance of the art teacher."
"6. There are a large number of sculptures in the castle, all of which are from the hands of masters."
“Since the castle has been under renovation, the sculptures are not housed in the sculpture classroom.”
“Please think of the sculptures in the Art Building as a completely new creature and do not be afraid of the form they take.”
"A sculpture is a full-length human figure that appears to be made of pure white plaster. It is usually static, but in special cases may appear to be moving or animated."
“If you encounter this situation, please tell yourself in your heart: “The sculpture itself is moving”, and never have any questions about “whether the sculpture moves” that will directly or indirectly affect your cognition.”
"7. When you are in the castle, please make sure you are within the range of natural light or at least one candlestick."
"When you or the sculpture are within the range of the light, you are safe and the sculpture is harmless."
"8. If you find sculptures appearing outside the lighting range and they are following you, please don't be afraid. This is a normal phenomenon in the castle."
If you see three or more statues approaching you, take the following actions depending on the type of statue:
1. If it is a bust sculpture, please don't worry.
2. If it is a human-shaped sculpture, please go to the art classroom or art office as soon as possible and inform the art teacher of the situation, who will protect you.
3. If it is a non-human sculpture, please go to the gallery, stop at the gallery entrance, and wait for them to disperse on their own before leaving.
4. If it is an angel sculpture, please ignore rule 5, enter the gallery and keep running while calling out the word "night watchman". You will run out of the gallery and meet the "night watchman". Tell the "night watchman" about meeting the "angel" and he will protect you.
Note: Entering the gallery for non-emergency purposes is at your own risk.”
"If you violate any of the above rules, the protection effect of all the rules will be invalid for you. Please use your own judgment to survive."
“Dear art students, I wish you a wonderful art journey in the art building.”
Turning to the last page, there are three words that make Mao Feiyang and Lin Yi feel that the style of the painting has suddenly changed: "Come on~"
Come on... Come on, right?
Damn it... Both of them were too tired to complain about the perverted and sudden change in the style of the Art Building Rules.
Mao Feiyang read through the book bit by bit, and Lin Yi also tried his best to memorize it...
"Damn, these rules are a bit fucking long..." Lin Yi cursed in his heart, thinking no wonder it takes such a thick book!
But despite this, he gritted his teeth and continued to carry it on his back.
Fortunately, Mao Feiyang flipped very slowly and only started to recite after reading it once, which gave him plenty of time to recite.
However, Lin Yi soon discovered that although the Art Building Rules seemed very long, some of the content had actually fallen into his cognition.
For example, the first one is about the architectural style of the art building and the cutting-edge technology of the virtual environment that is trying to hide something but only makes it more obvious...
This one might be enough to fool Mao Feiyang, but with his current cognitive environment, he could immediately analyze why this one was written that way.
The main reason is that the rule makers were afraid that the "truth" of the art building was too weird and shocking, so they used an entire rule to cover up the problem of the layer where the art building was located.
This also immediately explains why the student code says that the art building is not marked on the map.
Damn, they are not even on the same layer, how can you mark them?
Is it possible to poke a hole in the map and mark the back with an arrow?
Not realistic, not realistic at all.
This is just like how the head teacher had previously used the statement "the school is conducting a joint anti-terrorism and anti-riot exercise with a special force" to cover up the truth that the sculpture and the non-human classmates attacked the trial students in order to calm the fear of the trial students.
As Tian Bufan said:
When a person is extremely frightened, he will lose some or all of his rationality, and he will believe whatever you say at this time, because what he lacks is not the answer to the unknown, but a reason that can give him a sense of security.
For example, the second one is the lighting issue which is a "commonplace" issue.
When he learned from Tian Bufan that normal art students would join forces with sports students to deal with non-human classmates, he vaguely guessed this - art students should be similar to normal students to some extent and are also protected by the light.
What really made Lin Yi feel "refreshed" was the undisguised definition of "sculpture" in the Art Building's rules. In this definition, Lin Yi couldn't tell how much of it was the school's attempt to "overwrite" the "cognition" of those who read the rules.
First of all, sculptures are usually static, and the fact that they move under special circumstances is very counter-intuitive.
Sculptures are inherently static and cannot possibly move, but the code gives them a definition of movement.
But Lin Yi quickly understood the basis for doing so.
Combining Tian Bufan's statement and his first impression of the sculpture through Tian Bufan, it is clear that the school obviously regards "sculptures on campus" as a completely new species.
"The true form of the sculpture should be something that looks like a human figure made of broken glass, with brilliant colors that cannot be described in words..."
"But in some cases, it seems to have lost all its color, like a white plaster sculpture shrouded in mist..."
"Obviously, the school didn't want to use too complicated concepts to define something that violates physical cognition, so they just used the word 'sculpture' to define them."
“And the definition of ‘sculpture’ is really great. It perfectly solves the problem that people who see sculptures will become mentally confused due to unclear cognition…”
Can't see clearly? Don't know what it is?
It's simple, it's sculpture.
With this idea in mind, art students will first have the concept of "sculpture" at the subconscious cognitive level. At first glance, they will think, wow, it's not bad, it really is a sculpture.
What shocked Lin Yi was that the Art Building Rules not only defined sculptures, but also divided them into four categories!
Bust sculptures, human sculptures, non-human sculptures, angel sculptures.
This was also the first time he knew there were different types of sculptures, and it was also the second time he saw the word "angel sculpture" in the rules.
"Angel sculpture..." Lin Yi's face was solemn.
Another rule about angel statues - what does the gym rules say about angel statues?
[If you see a humanoid angel sculpture placed on the ground in the gymnasium by someone unknown, please rush to the office immediately, hold your student ID tightly, push the door open, close your eyes and tell the physical education teacher about the situation.
Never ask a gym student for help when you find a humanoid angel sculpture! 】
Never ask for help from physical education students, but ask for help from physical education teachers!
In the Art Building, you need to seek help from a mysterious character - the "Night Watchman"!
Whether from the perspective of breaking the impasse or from other aspects, it undoubtedly illustrates one problem - the angel sculpture is too powerful.
So powerful that it requires violating the rule that "under normal circumstances, no entry into the gallery" is allowed.
Moreover, as the base camp for sports students, when the angel sculpture appeared in the gymnasium, they were not allowed to ask for help from the local sports students!
If we ask for help from the athletes, I'm afraid they will be killed by the angel statue.
Lin Yi recalled the scene of the sculpture group that Mao Feiyang saw when he left the stairwell...
Densely packed sculptures were scattered in the stone path of the stalactite cave with gurgling water. Some were hanging upside down on the top of the cave like bats, some were in a distorted posture of fear, and some were standing there indifferently, looking at him with resentment...
These sculptures not only have human shapes, but also the shapes of some unknown beasts. What's more terrifying is that most of them are incomplete and look like a garbage dump full of trash.
"It seems that the incomplete ones are busts, and the beast forms and the ones that seem to be made up of many things are non-human sculptures..."
Lin Yi gradually clenched his teeth.
Compared with other rules that are vague, the Art Building Rules explain the existence of sculptures to art students without hiding anything, and also directly illustrate a problem from the front - the existence of sculptures is an extremely serious and terrible problem for the Art Building!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, deeply feeling the danger of the art building.
In addition, the most mysterious unit to Lin Yigan is the "Night Watch".
[If it is an angel sculpture, please ignore rule 5, enter the gallery and keep running while calling the three words "night watchman". You will run out of the gallery and meet the "night watchman". Tell the "night watchman" about the encounter with the "angel" and he will protect you. ]
This is crazy...
Sounds so cool, doesn’t it?
Night watchman!
Damn, these three words instantly make this super strong man look so awesome!
"Night watchman, night watchman..." Not only Lin Yi, but even Mao Feiyang couldn't help but be dazed when he saw this name.
He seemed to see a tall figure standing in front of the art building in the darkness, watching over the world!
"etc……?!"
"Night Watch?!"
A strange color suddenly flashed across Lin Yi's eyes.
As he repeatedly pondered the three words "Night Watchman", the image of a certain character gradually became fuller in his memory.
Then, it just stood there in his mind, never to be erased!
That one... the figure he had seen twice in his visions!
Over there, there is a figure like an iron tower wearing a black windbreaker, holding an ancient green lantern, standing on the edge of the cliff against the roaring sea breeze!
That figure standing in front of a Gothic castle full of wild Cubism and futuristic abstract styles under the dark sky and dark sun!
Gothic castle!
castle!
Art building!
Night Watch!!
"That's the Art Building...!"
"'He' is... the Night Watchman!!"
A huge wave surged in Lin Yi's heart, his intuition told him that was the night watcher. Apart from the night watcher, there was no other title that could match that person!
It turned out that he had actually seen the Night Watchman before!
Moreover, the environment in the vision was almost the same as the castle described in the art building rules!
Gothic castles, cliffs, and... an ocean!
"Two layers! Two worlds! My guess is correct, and Mr. Tian's inference is also correct!"
Gradually falling layers, twisted and overlapping unknown space!
The existence of the Art Building Rules also fundamentally confirmed the correctness of Lin Yi's speculation!
