Chapter 115 Sculpture Square [Wish everyone a happy spring festival!!!]
Chapter 115 Sculpture Array [Wish you all a happy Chinese New Year!!!]
At this moment, the head teacher 040 seemed to notice his gaze, raised her head and looked at him, then smiled gently, and reached out to gently smooth the few strands of hair behind her ears.
Such a response actually made Lin Yi feel a little surprised, and it also made him more certain of a guess - this new class teacher 040 must know something about him.
Since he couldn't figure out what secret was hidden in the sign-in folder at this moment, he simply stopped thinking about it. He withdrew his gaze from the class teacher 040 and started thinking.
In fact, the change of head teacher may be confusing to others, but it is traceable to him. After all, the head teacher used him as an anchor yesterday and let him watch him take off his clothes with his own eyes.
According to the homeroom teacher's initial words, his "Lin Yi-X0230506098" homeroom teacher was the one with "Homeroom Teacher-B2-039" pinned on his chest. From the moment the homeroom teacher took off his uniform, he had given up his identity as "Homeroom Teacher".
So today we have a new class teacher——"040".
But judging from the performance of class teacher 040, she seemed to know something.
"Before leaving, the homeroom teacher left a message telling her that I was very inspired?"
Only in this way can we explain why the class teacher 040 did not stop himself from watching the videos in the digital camera.
Because even if the class teacher 040 knew that digital cameras could not capture the conceptual sculpture, he could not guarantee that he would remain firm in his cognition after seeing the video of the inhuman classmate killing Pan Jian.
But what made him doubt was, did the homeroom teacher 040 really only know this much?
[“There is no way the school or company would let someone like you, who has such incredible inspiration, in get a chance to experience the program!”
"What the hell is going on...what the hell is going on?"
"What's the difference between this and asking you to come in and die?"]
His mind instantly flashed through what the homeroom teacher 039 had said before, and he made a conservative guess about why the homeroom teacher 040 knew he was let in.
Lin Yi glanced at the time.
"8:53."
He withdrew his gaze, prepared to adjust his state and then start reciting the two rules of the Art Department, but when he held the pen in his hand, he could not calm down and start reciting no matter what.
There was a sense of irritability in his heart, and a certain thought quietly spread in his mind, and gradually gained the upper hand in driving force -
"Go look at that window."
The thought became more and more solid, and the strong impulse continued to hit his heart.
"Go check it out, there must be clues there!"
It was as if the devil's whisper was softly murmured in his ears. Lin Yi had no way of telling whether this was a thought in his subconscious mind, or... driven by some indescribable existence.
But he couldn't resist the temptation of this action which might give him a glimpse of part of the truth, so he took a deep breath and slowly approached the window.
In the process of approaching, he began to anchor his position in his mind with a "self-determined" will in advance to prevent himself from accidentally distorting his cognition:
"My name is Lin Yi, my student number is X0230506098, and I'm in Group B, Class 2..."
He quickly came to the place where the blurry figure was lying last night, then moved closer to the explosion-proof glass and looked towards the windowsill.
There were indeed some white plaster-like marks on the windowsill, but there were no other marks.
"Nothing else?"
He muttered, feeling a little disappointed, and then looked away.
But at this moment, he accidentally saw the green forest belt in the distance and was stunned on the spot.
He saw a square made up almost entirely of sculptures.
It was a sunny day at the moment. At nearly 9 o'clock, the light was shining brightly on the earth, and the whole earth was bright.
The green forest belt outside Teaching Building B has also dispersed a lot of fog due to the light, leaving only the area deep inside still shrouded in fog.
What Lin Yi saw was the area extending inward from the edge of the green belt. In that area, there was now a densely packed formation of sculptures like the Terracotta Warriors.
These sculptures were frozen in the sunlight. Their huge numbers covered the mountains like the little demons in Lion Camel Ridge, stretching from the edge of the green forest belt to the depths of the mountainous area shrouded in mist...
Lin Yi's scalp instantly felt numb as if it had been struck by lightning, and a chill ran down his spine.
"There is a sculpture formation lurking in the green forest?"
He thought of the damaged sculpture of Little Genius that he had seen on the morning of May 5. The sculpture of Little Genius was not in the green belt on this side. Now, when he compared the two pictures, he suddenly had the illusion that the sculpture of Little Genius and this square formation were lost.
"Those sculptures... are not conceptual ones. They seem to be pure sculptures. They are very similar to the sculptures in the stairwell leading to the dormitory building on the underground first floor of the teaching building, but not as abstract as the one in the stairwell!"
In comparison, the sculptures here all look like human beings.
Here comes the problem.
[All the sculptures on campus are busts, and are kept in the Art Building. If you see a full-length human sculpture in other areas of the campus, please look for the numbered street lights nearby... Follow the street lights back to the building closest to you.]
"There are no full-body sculptures on campus, only bust sculptures!"
The sculpture made by the little genius yesterday was incomplete. It could barely be called a half-body sculpture or a broken sculpture. But the sculptures he saw now were all full-body sculptures!
"Conflict of rules!"
This was the first thought that came to Lin Yi's mind, but he immediately shattered it.
"No, no, no, you can't think like that. You shouldn't think like that..."
"If we follow the map in the tutorial, we won't be able to get close to the green belt, and we won't see them, so..."
“No, no… I can’t make this up anymore!”
Lin Yi suddenly realized that being able to deceive himself was a great ability, but he couldn't do it!
“Wait a minute… ‘If you see a complete human sculpture anywhere else on campus, please look for a numbered street light nearby and follow it back to the nearest building!’!”
"I'm already in the building, right? So, according to the art student code, I'm still in the 'safe state protected by the code'."
"Since we are in a 'safe state', we should explore the campus as much as possible on the edge of the rules to find the underlying logic of the rules!"
After calming down, Lin Yi immediately thought of Hetian Bufan's plan, so when he was sure that he was safe, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then tentatively looked at the sculpture formation again.
Not long after, a cloud happened to float across the sky, and the shadow cast by the cloud covered the green forest belt.
At the moment when the clouds blocked the sunlight, Lin Yi suddenly felt a creepy bad feeling in his heart.
That long-lost feeling suddenly fell upon his head again, and this feeling was just like...
"'Void Search'?!" "None of the non-human classmates are here, who the hell is targeting me? Wait... could it be?!"
He quietly looked at the sculpture array, and suddenly found that the sculptures that attracted his attention the most had turned their heads around at some point, looking in his direction from a long distance...
“What the hell, this…?!”
Lin Yi felt his hair stand on end and his eyeballs almost popped out of his head in fear, and he squatted down like a turtle in the comics, using the premise to cover up the gaze from the sculpture.
However, he forgot that the Void Enemy's lock was not eliminated in this way, so despite this, he could still feel a burning sense of anxiety.
However, to his surprise, this burning sensation disappeared after just a few seconds.
"Huh?" He was stunned for a moment, poked his head out from behind the wall, and then found out the reason.
"It's the clouds, no, it's the sunlight!"
The clouds passed away, and the sunlight once again shone directly on the earth, sprinkling on the sculpture array.
"So the sculpture under direct sunlight poses no threat..."
Even at this time, the faces of the sculptures were still facing Class 2, Group B, of the teaching building.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.
There were clouds floating in the clear, high sky. Judging from the movement of the shadows, it would not be long before another cloud covered the green forest belt.
He then made a bold decision to test his hypothesis.
He continued to crouch down, hiding himself under the windowsill, while silently calculating the time it would take for the clouds to come over.
Sure enough, about fifteen seconds later, the creepy feeling of being hunted by the void reappeared in his heart.
He then came to a conclusion.
"Direct sunlight will inhibit the sculpture's locking mechanism, but it cannot refresh this mechanism. The only known way to eliminate the void search is to eliminate attention."
This is actually very simple.
Lin Yi imagined the boss wearing a swimsuit in his mind, and easily dismissed his attention from the sculptures.
After removing the debuff of Void Seeking, he reappeared and looked at the sculptures.
The faces of the sculptures were still facing the same direction, but some of them had turned straight. He stopped thinking about it and left the window sill.
"But speaking of which, the void search is the killing mechanism of the non-human-san... Those human-shaped sculptures also have it?"
"According to the transformation pathway speculated by Mr. Tian, the non-human students will turn into sculptures after the pollution deepens. Could it be that even the killing mechanism is preserved, no, passed down?"
He touched the bridge of his nose, and...the sculpture's void-seeking mechanism was obviously more terrifying than that of its inhuman classmates.
In order to activate the killing mechanism of the non-human classmate, there is another condition, that is, the lights in the classroom are turned off.
But that is to say, incandescent lamps and sunlight can effectively restrain the mechanism of inhuman classmates.
But the sculpture... He was looking at the sculpture when the sunlight was directly shining, but when the sculpture was covered by clouds, it immediately started to react like a void enemy.
If it were applied to the inhuman classmate, it would be like he saw and noticed the inhuman classmate under the incandescent light, but as soon as the light went out, he was chased and killed by the inhuman classmate.
It's too ridiculous.
You know, he is currently in the teaching building under the normal layer, in that serious "safe state"!
"The sculptures... what a scary group."
"But if the sculpture can move in the shadows, doesn't that mean it can move freely at night?"
"Can you get shelter just by relying on street lamps?"
Lin Yi was not sure. If he interpreted the student code literally, the sentence that staying under the street lights should provide sufficient protection, but it was still unknown whether he could get an "absolutely safe" environment surrounded by sculptures.
If you want to be absolutely safe, you need to return to the nearest building.
"Wait a minute... this 'nearest building' should refer to the 'building with lights', right?"
"So the light should protect the people under it from the statue's attacks, but if you can't cancel the 'Void Search', the statue will chase the person it's locked on to like a ghost..."
Being targeted by a tireless and seemingly inanimate thing, if you make a mistake you'll be killed instantly... I'm sweating profusely just thinking about it.
What makes Lin Yi conservative is that he doesn't know whether the sculpture has other mechanisms or behavioral logic.
But the threat posed by the sculpture must be far greater than that of the non-human classmates.
Also, there are so many sculptures. There are a square array of them in the green belt over there alone, and there is no telling how many there are in other places.
And the most crucial point is, shouldn’t sculptures be in the art building?
How did they get into the greenbelt?
Is there some unknown means of movement hidden here?
"A path that is not recorded in the rules!" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly realized that such a path might really exist, but it was most likely a path that humans could not take, or even that this path did not belong to the "living" unit at all!
Lin Yi glanced at his watch. The time was already 9:07. In other words, he had spent 14 minutes testing the sculpture.
He then returned to his seat, unfolded the folding chair and sat down, then opened the small notebook he carried with him and began to recite the Art Department rules.
More than 40 minutes passed in a flash. When he finished reciting the Art Building Rules and Art Student Rules, he looked down at his watch and it was already 9:50.
"Sigh...half an hour!"
He shook his sore wrists, twisted his neck and stretched his muscles, then let out a long sigh.
There was no other way. The Art Student Guidelines alone were about 2000 words long. He wrote furiously and only managed to finish it...
But there was no other way. Tian Bufan said that just listening was not enough, and he had to keep a paper copy, as if he had a collecting habit, and he couldn't print it out of thin air...
I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year!
