Chapter 150: Violent Priesthood
Chapter 150: Violent Priesthood
As he walked over, he grabbed the drawing board with his backhand and pulled it out from behind. He then fiddled with it quickly with both hands. The drawing board was deconstructed and reassembled with a series of "clicks" like a sophisticated machine-expanded weapon, and finally turned into a huge cross.
Then he picked up the paintbrush and carved a mysterious symbol in the middle of the cross, seeming to mutter something.
When he was about three meters away from the door of the store, he completed his work - a cross-shaped giant soldier engraved with a series of mysterious symbols.
"This kind of filthy thing..." He raised the cross-shaped Legion high, as if he was holding up a holy sword, and his eyes, which were as cold as moonlight, flowed with golden light as he looked down at the strange night creatures. A cold arc appeared at the corners of his mouth, "Just execute them on the spot."
As the words fell, the cross-shaped giant soldier hammered heavily on the body of the strange nocturnal creature.
“Bang—”
With a loud bang, the runes on the cross-shaped giant soldier flickered, emitting a strange golden light.
A bright light mist enveloped the strange nocturnal creature. It let out a painful roar, and its blue-gray body twisted and trembled violently. White steam continued to emerge from its body, and its entire body turned into a hard white plaster sculpture at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The twisted appearance looked very much like the sculpture of pain in the stairwell with the Fibonacci spiral.
Lin Yi looked at him in shock, feeling that this figure was both strange and familiar. Thinking carefully, the attire, the drawing board, and the figure seemed to be——
Just as Lin Yi noticed something, the figure holding the cross-shaped giant soldier glanced at him and said, "How about it, do you want to learn some cool moves like this? I'll teach you."
The moment he saw the face clearly, the person Lin Yi had guessed about also became clear at once.
“Fuck, Mu Daxian…?!”
The guy in front of him holding the giant cross-shaped weapon is Mu Daxian!
“Wait, could it be…?!”
Lin Yi looked down.
This familiar yellow sweater, this dark and thin body...
"Is it Maozi?!"
"I exchanged perspectives with Maozi again?! Maozi is also in the cafeteria, no, in the canteen as well?"
The convenience store instructions he had just read flashed through Lin Yi’s mind!
[The name of the store is for reference only. Please refer to the actual situation for the actual product. 】
[No matter what the canteen you enter looks like, please be sure to believe that the canteen is on the first floor of the cafeteria and you can leave the cafeteria and return to the campus through the canteen. ]
"Could it be that the store has multiple layers, and Maozi and I are in the same store right now, but in different layers, just like... like the inner and outer worlds?"
He was not sure his guess was correct. He wanted to check the time on his watch, but Mao Feiyang was not wearing a watch. He was the only one in the group who wore one. Even Wei Liang said that the time on campus was based on the pendulum clock, and other timekeeping devices were not accurate enough...
So he had the habit of checking the time with a pendulum clock, and it turned out that his old tank was quite useful.
He also wanted to find the pendulum clock in the convenience store, but found that the convenience store was rarely equipped with even a pendulum clock.
At this moment, a sharp scream caught his attention and he immediately looked towards the source of the sound - the direction of the convenience store.
I saw a figure leaping in the rolling white mist, and suddenly a large pale palm stretched out like a blowout!
The strange nocturnal creatures pushed and squeezed in from the narrow door like a sea of people. They were really crowded, as if they were filling the elevator of a teaching building with nocturnal creatures in the subway. Now that the door was open, the nocturnal creatures that had been squeezed into various distorted shapes rolled out from inside.
Then, after coming into contact with the thick fog, these nocturnal species expanded rapidly like inflated animals, turning into the blue-gray, stiff, and somewhat twisted form of zombies.
"It's numb next door..." Facing the twisted crowd of nocturnal creatures, Mu Daxian showed no fear at all. He picked up the cross-shaped giant soldier and blocked the door of the store. He smashed the crowd of nocturnal creatures one by one, and scattered them everywhere. There were broken white plaster-like short limbs and ketchup that turned into white plaster sculpture fragments in seconds...
In the dim air-raid shelter, under the flickering red lights and amid the piercing beeping alarms, Mu Daxian's eyes were burning with cold golden flames as he wielded the hard cross-shaped giant soldier. He was like a violent priest performing physical exorcisms, or like a demon god descending to earth, cold and brutal.
While he was crushing the night-walking species, he cursed "damn it, next door", just like Fahai shouting "Great Power Heavenly Dragon" when he was subduing demons. Even these four curse words were given a sense of ritual to subdue demons and save all living beings.
Mao Feiyang and Lin Yi were both stunned.
Oh my god, are art students so awesome?
Why the hell do they need to listen to the athletes' requests and cooperate with them to deal with nocturnal creatures?
Shouldn't he just run away in anger and say, "Wukong, stand back and let the master come"?
"Don't just stand there, go find the student commemorative coins now!" Mu Daxian shouted to Mao Feiyang in his busy schedule.
"Okay, okay..." Lin Yi heard Mao Feiyang's voice, and then his perspective began to shift, running towards a shelf somewhere.
When Mao Feiyang shifted his perspective, Lin Yi suddenly found that the surroundings began to become quiet, and the piercing beeping sound gradually left him...
He realized something and looked up at the ceiling. Sure enough, the flashing red lights gradually returned to normal and turned into the ordinary incandescent lights they had before.
His vision began to shake again, and he knew that this time the hallucination was over.
The next moment after he had the thought, everything around him began to fluctuate, and the scenes around him disappeared quickly like a quilt being pulled away. When his vision recovered, a white light flashed in his mind, and then the door of the convenience store was left in front of him.
The door of the convenience store in the layer he was in.
He looked down at the time on his watch.
17: 01.
He glanced at Li Huiyuan.
Li Huiyuan was watching him from beside him. When she saw him looking over, she asked, "Is there any problem over there, classmate Lin? I saw you seemed to be in a daze for a minute. Did you think of something?"
Lin Yi didn't say anything, but he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
This time, the vision lasted at least three to five minutes from Mao Feiyang's perspective, but in this layer, it only took more than a minute.
"Nothing... I just feel that the convenience store is not safe enough." Lin Yi's expression was very serious.
"Well... there is a possibility of meeting that fake convenience store owner." Li Huiyuan nodded.
"No, I'm talking about more than that." Lin Yi looked at the door of the store. From Mao Feiyang's perspective, the area formed by the orange-yellow light outside the store had been eroded by darkness, and then the dark white mist directly reached the door of the store.
And now from his perspective, the lights in front of the store still formed an area, but just like when they entered the campus on May 5, the area formed by the street lights was gradually compressed and shrunk as the abnormal weather worsened. It was really hard to say how much area would be left in the end.
And the same is true at the entrance of the convenience store now.
"I feel... the thick fog will eventually flood into the canteen, so the canteen instructions tell us to hurry up and shop, and then run." Lin Yi's eyes were solemn, "The thick fog is a crisis from the cafeteria, and it is also a crisis for the canteen."
Li Huiyuan's heart trembled when she heard that, and she followed Lin Yi's gaze to look outside the door of the convenience store. As she looked outside, she seemed to see a number of crazy and greedy faces in the mist outside the light, including the chef in the green bib who was hanging upside down on the ceiling like a humanoid spider.
Li Huiyuan shuddered and felt a little cold. What Lin Yi said was right. These strange creatures riding on the thick fog were really approaching the store.
She pursed her lips and followed Lin Yi towards the shelf area marked with other products.
……
X023年5月8日，17:05，小卖部其他商品区。
Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan shuttled between row after row of shelves, their eyes scanning each one like radar.
Their steps became faster and faster, gradually giving off a feeling of rushing through the place, but at the same time their expressions became uglier and uglier. Every time they walked past a row of shelves, it was as if they were catching a handful of flies and stuffing them into their mouths.
It’s not because the goods in other merchandise areas are too superior, but because... they didn’t find any student commemorative coins in other merchandise areas!
"No... not here either."
"nothing."
The two stopped in front of the last row of shelves.
This is nominally the "last row", but in fact there are countless shelves ahead. But if you go further, you will enter a dark area that is not covered by lights. In such a shadow area, rows of shelves extend into the dark area and then completely disappear into the darkness.
The two stood on the dividing line between light and darkness.
Lin Yi remained silent, while Li Huiyuan beside him pursed her lips, her pretty face as pale as ash.
On the back shelf behind them, there were grids one after another, filled with some rarely used tools, brushes, paints and other things.
Each of these cassettes has a label, but those with the "Student Commemorative Coin" label are empty.
The student commemorative coins on every shelf they passed were taken away, as if they were being targeted.
But that was not the case. Lin Yi had a feeling that something must have happened in the store.
"Maozi was asked by Ma to get the student commemorative coins... that means they are also looking for student commemorative coins! Could there be some in the store on another level?"
The ominous feeling in Lin Yi's heart became stronger and stronger.
With the help of the dim light, he could vaguely see some things that looked like currency on the shelves in front of him. The things were not big, but they looked familiar to him.
"Student commemorative coins?"
There are student commemorative coins placed on the shelf in the dark?
"Student Lin...it seems so?" A hint of joy appeared in Li Huiyuan's eyes.
"It looks like a student commemorative coin." Lin Yi said seriously. The student commemorative coins on the shelf in front of him were exactly the same as what he saw in his dream. The side facing them was engraved with the pattern of the World Tree, and the side that they could not see should be blank.
Li Huiyuan was just about to walk towards the shelf, but just as Li Huiyuan passed Lin Yi and put half of her foot into the shadow area, a chill suddenly surged in Lin Yi's heart, causing his heart to skip a beat!
"careful!"
Lin Yi quickly grabbed Li Huiyuan's shoulders and pulled her back.
A look of intense confusion welled up in Li Huiyuan's eyes, but before she could say anything, her beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned and she let out a cry of pain.
"what!"
She immediately squatted down, took off the black square-toed leather shoes of the same style as her uniform, peeled off her lace socks, and then looked at her feet.
I saw a bloodstain as thin as a hair on her snow-white little feet. The bloodstain ran across the instep and went around the arch of the foot to form a circle, as if when she stretched her foot, it was cut from top to bottom by an invisible air wave, forming a cross-section.
The area where the bloodstain extended towards the toes began to appear grayish-white, which was very different from the normal skin color, while the area where the bloodstain went towards the ankle and calf was still normal snow-white skin.
"This, this...it hurts, it hurts so much..." Li Huiyuan looked at her feet and gasped.
Lin Yi's face changed slightly, and he quickly squatted down to hold her feet, then observed carefully in shock: "The part of your foot that stepped on that dividing line...changed color."
"It's not just a matter of color!" Li Huiyuan said while trying to hold back the pain. "I feel like my foot was cut. My toes are sore and painful. It seems... wait, it doesn't hurt that much now... No, no!"
Li Huiyuan touched her toes, pressed and pinched them, and her pretty face turned pale: "My toes...my toes seem to be losing sensation?!"
"What?!" Lin Yi was shocked and quickly touched her toes, only to find that there was still some flesh on the toes where the bloodstains were, but it had become cold and bloodless, like touching some smooth rubber.
Li Huiyuan looked at Lin Yi absentmindedly: "You...if you hadn't held me back just now..."
She didn't say anything else. If she hadn't been pulled back, it would not just be this part. She might have directly undergone this strange and terrifying change!
"Is it a trap! Or something else?" Lin Yi thought of the street lights that would not light up mentioned in the student code of conduct. Could it be that the shelves in front were the same?
But why is there no mention of this in the convenience store instructions, as if it was deliberately put there to trick people?
"Damn it..." Lin Yi secretly spat in his heart, but he couldn't show too much negativity and make the already frightened Li Huiyuan even more unstable.
"Can you feel your feet now?" he asked.
"There's one more thing... I can vaguely feel that this is my toe..." A bitter look appeared at the corner of Li Huiyuan's mouth.
Thanks to book friends "azazel", "jianghuwww", "xiaofanfan" for the tips!!
PS: I will take a day off tomorrow to recuperate and sort out some plot details in the short term, and then I will not take any more leave this month.
