Chapter 100: Bells from the Bell Tower

The art student stood there calmly: "Teacher, you can try it."

The atmosphere in the art classroom fell strangely silent. The strange art teacher, although threatening, did not take any action. The art students spoke in a firm tone, but showed no sign of taking any action.

However, beneath the surface, Lin Yi noticed through that strange perception that when the two were confronting each other, the white powder particles in the air gathered on the art student and the strange art teacher at a very impressive speed, just like iron powder attracted by a magnet.

"What does this mean? They are actively attracting and absorbing pollutants?"

"No, it seems to be more than that!"

Lin Yi closed his eyes and used his weak perception to observe the trajectory of pollutants in the art classroom.

I saw that the weird art teacher and the art student were constantly absorbing white powder particles, but the weird art teacher had an additional strange replacement process than the art student. While absorbing the white powder particles, she also continuously discharged green powder particles that looked like they were dyed with fluorescent agent.

And the green powder particles were dispersed into the air again, and then... they were actually absorbed by other art students, including Mao Feiyang!
When Mao Feiyang absorbed the green powder particles, the hairs on his body stood up. At the same time, a strong and strange feeling of discomfort spread from the bottom of his heart like a burning fire and spread throughout his body in an instant!

As someone with a first-hand perspective, Lin Yi also experienced this feeling.

A layer of fine beads of sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead——"What, what is this feeling...?!"

The dark, evil and terrifying feeling, along with the green powder particles entering his body, enveloped him like a tide. He had clearly arrived at the art classroom and was under the candlelight, but at this moment, he could still hear the faint sound of waves hitting the rocks and breaking into countless splashes of water!
“Wow—Bang!”

“Wow—Bang!”

“Wow—Bang…”

Amid the sound of waves, the sea breeze is gentle, and the sound of a whistle is slowly drifting over!

As the green powder particles fell, the weird art students around the weird art teacher also closed their eyes one after another, and then absorbed the green powder particles in great intoxication. At the same time, they slowly opened their mouths and murmured a strange syllable like singing...

""fanTome fRa forRidEn"......"

""fanTome fRa..."

Their voices seemed very uniform, yet completely uneven. The syllables of several people mixed together, but created a feeling of thousands of troops, as if a siren was chanting while pushing the waves, and then mixing countless syllables together, and finally merging into this magical, creepy, chilling and strange sound wave.

The art student's face turned ugly in an instant. He seemed unable to resist the sound waves and could not help but take a step back, with his back pressed against the seat, so he did not fall down.

"Hahaha..." The weird art teacher's face gradually twisted during the chanting. The curve of his mouth became weirder and weirder. His smile looked like a stiff mask of a crying dead person. "Join us, kid! Join us... Join us... "fanTome fRa forRidEn"!"

"Bang!"

The door of the art classroom was pushed open heavily, and the strong sea breeze rushed into the classroom like a flood. The cold wind and frost instantly mixed with water mist and ice crystals and blew in the face. The classroom, which was already cold, was instantly covered with frost!
“Hoo—hoo—hoo—”

The sea breeze roared and sang endlessly, and the entire art classroom seemed to be performing an absurd opera!

"Invasion! Gray fog invasion!!"

"Everyone wake up! Quickly!!!"

Art grabbed a gavel and rang the alarm bell in front of his seat!
“Ding ding ding ding—”

The alarm bells were ringing, and art students woke up from their intoxicated journey of art.

The immersion was interrupted and their faces looked a little ugly, but sensing the invasion of sea breeze and gray fog, all the art students left their seats and used various methods to resist this invasion.

Mao Feiyang had long been swallowed up by that strange feeling. He tightly grasped the only armrest of the chair that he could touch, trying his best to stay awake.

Lin Yi seemed to have fallen into a kaleidoscope world that distorted light and shadow. In this world, he could still tell that the surrounding scenery came from the art classroom, but everything he saw was as if the space where the art classroom was located was crushed into countless pieces by a huge force, and then reassembled randomly and arbitrarily.

In this distorted world, the flickering light refracts and flickers in the colorful kaleidoscope, seemingly forming a brand new pattern...

That pattern seemed to be a creature with a humanoid outline, or a giant long object with wings...

"It's the pattern of a sculpture..." Lin Yi felt dizzy, but in an unknown way, he got a name related to it in his mind - "Alien Sculpture!"

In the broken layers, the silhouette of some indescribable alien sculpture is reflected!

No one knew how big the alien sculpture was, but the palm in its reflection seemed to be holding Lin Yi up.

He saw the light and shadow on the alien sculpture constantly distorting and changing, just like a human face covered with mercury opening its mouth to speak.

That voice...

That voice appeared again!
The kind of cry that can only be heard when a storm of pain sweeps across countless worlds, the kind of joyous sound that sounds like a person on the gallows suddenly being redeemed, the kind of confused whispering sound that is muddled and confused, not knowing yesterday or tomorrow...

Countless voices mixed together, and from the colorful mouth of the alien sculpture came out a prayer that made people's spines shiver and their scalps tingle:

""I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome"! ! ! "

“Ah…Ah—Ah—”

Lin Yi felt something like a drill bit drilling into his head, the pain was so severe that he didn't know what year it was. He also felt his ears buzzing, as if a dentist had clamped his teeth with pliers and was trying to pull them out...

Mao Feiyang was also in extreme discomfort. He leaned back on the chair as green powder particles penetrated into his body like they were free. He convulsed all over, foamed at the mouth, and rolled his eyes, as if he was about to die.

Just before he lost consciousness...

"clang--"

A deep and powerful bell sounded in the Art Building, like thunder from the sky.

"clang--"

The bells rang again, and this time, all the prayers were shattered.

"Ding--" The dark clouds broke apart, and the sparse moonlight penetrated the dim sky, passed through the dome of the art classroom, and fell on the sculpture mural on the central stage.

The weird art teacher suddenly thought of something and looked towards a certain location. Under the dark sky with surging clouds and wind, a figure like an iron tower, holding a green lantern and wearing a windbreaker, was standing on a bell tower, slowly striking the old bell on the bell tower.

"Night Watchman...?!" The strange and stiff smile on her face suddenly froze, and then she showed a look of horror as if her whole body was suddenly filled with emotions.

She looked at the night watchman as if she had seen a ghost.

Especially when she heard the sound of the bell, she felt sick, shaking uncontrollably, and powder particles kept falling out of her body...

"The bells of 'Doomsday'?!"

"Oh no... I forgot it was this day!"

"No wonder they are all here!"

"let's go!"

The art teacher snorted coldly and reluctantly left the art classroom with those weird art students.

Before the classroom door was closed, she looked back coldly, her tone cold and indifferent:

"The sun has long gone out. How long can its last rays of light illuminate them? The gray fog has arrived. You will all die."

“Bang!”

The door of the art classroom was slammed shut, and the sea breeze and fog were trapped in the corridor. They swept across the corridor and candlesticks, making low roars like wild beasts.

The art student stared at the door that had already been closed for a long time, and then looked at the group of girls in sailor uniforms.

Lin Yi also pulled himself out of that weird and broken kaleidoscope-like world, gasping for breath while re-examining the people in the art classroom.

What puzzled him was that, although the art students showed strong hostility towards the weird art teacher and his people, they did not show much hostility towards the "accomplices" who took the initiative to "invite" the weird art teacher and his people into the art classroom.

Not only the art student at the beginning, all the art students showed no hostility...it seemed that this situation had become commonplace.

And in the depths of their eyes, Lin Yi detected a subtle emotion.

When they looked at the group of girls in sailor uniforms, that emotion was magnified many times in their eyes, so much so that he could sense it.

It was a mixture of pity, sympathy, and regret. The moment Lin Yi saw it, eight words popped up in his mind: pity their misfortune and be angry at their lack of resistance.

"Stay in the classroom and don't move around until the teacher comes." The art student gave them a calm instruction, then walked towards the young man and pulled him up from the ground. "You too, find a seat and sit down."

After the art student finished speaking, he sat back in his seat, looked at the murals, and immersed himself in the art again.

Lin Yi followed their gaze and looked at the murals, trying to feel the influence of art.

Mao Feiyang also looked at the murals and reliefs.

But after watching for a long time, Lin Yi did not feel what the so-called "artistic influence" was, until he closed his eyes with suspicion...

When he closed his eyes, his heart trembled instantly!
The moonlight shone through the stained glass windows on the dome onto the murals and reliefs, causing countless white powder particles to fly out of the murals and reliefs. These white powder particles floated like dandelions under the dome of the art classroom.

They gather and disperse, sink and float, like a bright and colorful galaxy, shuttling between the chandeliers and candlesticks in the art classroom.

The starlight from the Milky Way fell down and sank into the bodies of the art students like a trickle of water. The surfaces of those art students began to take on a bluish-gray color like the texture of sculptures, and even the temperature around them dropped a few degrees.

Lin Yi's pupils shrank slightly. This was not the first time he had seen such a change!
"This kind of change has happened to Ryoko before!"

That's right, whether he was lost on the road where the layers of paint fell in front of the dormitory building, or when he was looking for dormitory No. 1414 in the corridor of the dormitory building, Wei Liang's body had undergone changes similar to those of an art student.

It is precisely because of experiencing such changes that Lin Yi is shocked by the changes in art students today.

"Ryoko said that he didn't go to the cafeteria to eat in the last two days, but stayed in the dormitory..."

“But the food in the cafeteria has a certain purifying effect… Wait! Purifying effect?!”

"The purification effect of the cafeteria food, does it mean 'purifying white or green powder particles'?"

"Ryoko didn't eat for the last two days, so he never got any purification effect... So he was actually contaminated to a certain extent, but because he used his own tricks to 'fill in' the anomalies in the school, he has been hiding in a 'pseudo-safe state'?"

"Also... the student rules and dormitory rules clearly state that there are rules about staying in the dormitory..."

"So, if Ryoko really stayed in the dormitory for the last two days, then he...had violated the rules?!"

"He violated the rules, but he left the campus safely?!"

“How did he do that?”

“Wait… it’s not a violation! The dormitory management office! There’s still a dormitory management office!”

"Maybe Ryoko followed that rule!"

学生守则第6条：【请您在7:40之前离开宿舍，22:00之前回到宿舍。

If you do not leave the dormitory before 7:40, please go to the dormitory management office at all costs and stay there until 12:00 before leaving; if you do not return to the dormitory before 22:00, please return to the classroom at all costs. The lights in the classroom will not be turned off, so please wait in the classroom until 7:40 the next day before leaving. 】

"So he didn't leave the dormitory building at the stipulated time, and then went to the 'dormitory office' according to the rules..."

But currently everything related to the dormitory management office and dormitory management is unknown. The only thing that can be confirmed is that dormitory management can take the elevator in the dormitory building to cross the floors and reach the Art Building!
"Did Liangzi come to the Art Building and then go through some kind of path and finally leave the campus?"

"But he didn't say anything...?"

"No, Liangzi actually told me everything. He said he spent the last two days in the dormitory, but he was dizzy and couldn't remember the specific details..."

"If this is the effect of the falling layer, or if he had some kind of hallucination, or if he encountered some other unknown reasons... and then he used his outrageous 'brain supplement' and tricks to do something unexpected..."
