Chapter 203 Look directly at me
The Art Student Guidelines state:
[If you encounter a sculpture while using the elevator, please discard the student commemorative coins in time before being attacked. After returning to the Art Building, go to the Art Office between 0:00 and 6:00 to report the loss to the art teacher.]
Judging from the current situation, Mao Feiyang did not have any "good opportunity" to lose the student commemorative coins along the way. The most likely possibility is that he actively discarded them because of this emergency.
But that doesn’t make sense. If that’s the case, how do we explain their appearance in the convenience store again?
Could it be that he came back again after he went back?
The development of things seemed to be more complicated than Lin Yi had guessed.
As he walked, Mu Daxian suddenly stopped. He squinted his eyes and felt his surroundings, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"what happened?"
"There's a big guy coming..." Mu Daxian lowered his voice, "Fuck, don't look down!"
He was quick to pull Mao Feiyang down, thinking that his reaction was really faster than his mother's. Fortunately, I pulled him down this time.
"Uh... uh uh uh..." Mao Feiyang shrank his neck, "I can't help it... what's coming?"
"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Mu Daxian asked.
"Let's listen to the good one first." Mao Feiyang said without thinking.
"The good news is that the big guy is not an angel, otherwise you would be in danger."
"Uh...are you in danger?"
"I can fucking run away, can you?"
"..."
"So...what's the bad news?" Mao Feiyang's mouth drooped.
"The bad news is... that thing is stronger than the Angel." Mu Daxian thought for a moment after he finished speaking, and as if he felt that his description was not enough, he added, "... it is strong in all aspects."
"Ah, this..." Mao Feiyang held his forehead and smiled bitterly, saying "this is fucking" for a long time, "Then we are in danger of death, right?"
"Let me emphasize again, it's not 'we', but 'you'." Mu Daxian patted Mao Feiyang on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, I know you are panicking, but don't panic, I am well prepared!"
He patted the bag containing his paintbrushes.
Mao Feiyang was so moved that tears were about to fall: "Wow, I finally understand why they call you Daxian. At the critical moment, we still have to rely on you, Daxian, wuwuwu..."
"So don't worry." Mu Daxian comforted him, "As long as it's not..."
"No, no, no, no, there's no 'only', absolutely no 'only'!" Mao Feiyang was anxious now, "Brother, please don't fucking stick a flag in your ass at this time!"
Mao Feiyang thought to himself, please don't do anything to kill our last flag...
Mu Daxian glanced at Mao Feiyang meaningfully and said, "I can't quite understand your train of thought... I told you that you understood, but you almost died. I told you that you didn't understand, but now you're so cunning again."
"Your instinctive reaction seems to be faster than your brain. Your IQ and stress response seem to be constantly fluctuating..."
Mao Feiyang: “…”
Mu Daxian said calmly: "But the advantage of this is that you can make some correct choices at critical moments, and the disadvantage is... you can easily cause pollution by accident, just like what happened just now."
As soon as he finished saying this, Mu Daxian suddenly tensed up, like a threatened cat, and Mao Feiyang suddenly frowned, as if he sensed something: "Great Immortal..."
Mu Daxian raised his hand slightly, interrupted Mao Feiyang's words, then squinted his eyes and felt it carefully.
He slowly turned his sight and soon found that the corridor lights on the 1st floor of Building B of the teaching building were flickering...
This flickering was very regular, like some kind of ripple coming, and then the incandescent lamp flickered for a while, and when the ripple passed, the incandescent lamp lit up again.
"It seems that this thing has landed directly in Building B..." Mu Daxian's expression was very serious. He put one hand into the cloth bag, like a detective touching a pistol so that he could shoot at any time.
"Is this the thing you just mentioned that is more powerful than the "Angel"? " Mao Feiyang asked in a low voice.
"Shh..." Mu Daxian made a hand gesture, moving his eyes left and right, as if listening to something, "That's right, but don't talk yet, let me observe."
Mao Feiyang quickly stopped talking, but despite this, he still couldn't help but want to take a closer look - if Mu Daxian hadn't held down his shoulders.
But Lin Yi is different, Lin Yi can see.
He stuck half of his head out from the covered bridge and looked down cautiously.
I saw that all the corridor lights on the 1st floor of Building B were flickering. The flickering was regular, and it was the same when the lights in the cafeteria were turned off.
“Boom…”
There was also a low rumble of thunder from deep in the sky, like a god wielding a giant axe to split the sea of clouds. However, the clouds were illuminated clearly, but not a ray of light could penetrate them and fall down.
Thick fog rolled in from the depths of the mountains like volcanic ash, and in the dim world it looked like a tsunami that was about to submerge S City University.
“Swish, swish, swish—”
Waves of forest surged in the green forest belt, and all the trees were trembling, as if even the vegetation felt fear.
In this extremely depressing atmosphere, the only light appeared...
A hazy ball of light slowly emerged from the green belt at a uniform speed and slowly drifted towards the teaching building...
The incandescent lights in the teaching building dimmed in rapid flickering, and finally, as if their threads were pulled out, they went out one after another with a "puff puff puff..."
Soon, the lights in the classroom of Group B Class 2 went out...
A time point popped up in Lin Yi's mind - "22:47:31".
现在是「5月7日22:47:31」！
This is also the time on Pan Jian’s digital camera!
Even the time is right!
He looked at the ball of light...trying to find some traces. The ball of light gradually approached...then, Lin Yi saw some colorful broken glass-like outlines in the ball of light.
“That’s…?”
The existence in that ball of light is actually that "concept-level sculpture"?
"Is 'Him' the thing that Master Mu mentioned that is stronger than 'Angels' in all aspects?"
Lin Yi was a little surprised. He thought this was just the "angel" sculpture, but he didn't expect it to be even more powerful than the angel sculpture!
"But... that's not right..."
"According to the timeline, the Night Watchmen rang the bell of Doomsday on May 5, but this conceptual sculpture appeared in the teaching building on May 7!"
According to Lin Yi's logic, the night watchmen must have first observed the invasion of the gray fog and then issued a warning. Only after the warning did the signs of the campus invasion appear, right?
How could I say that I just saw a charging bugle from a hundred meters away through a telescope, and when I turned around, it was fucked in the ass?
The time and behavior logic don’t make sense!
Could it be that the concept and the sculpture's message is deeper than the invasion of gray fog? When the night watchman saw the shooting, the bullets had already hit the campus?
It's illogical!
Or...is this the "real logic" that he had never thought of?
Lin Yi frowned. In fact, although the anomalies in the campus were very strange, after his exploration and discussion with Tian Bufan, he was able to simply determine some logic. But now, something suddenly appeared that jumped out of his way of thinking.
Moreover, this thing is the key condition throughout the entire set of questions. It would be wrong to solve the problem without using it - but if you use it, you simply cannot solve the problem. What the hell should you do?
He stared at this conceptual sculpture, thinking that he was currently in a dream, so he tried to get as many clues as possible. At the very least, he would replicate "Him"'s traces in his mind so that he could use "Minecraft" to deduce it next time.
He then stared at the conceptual sculpture intently, observing the texture of "Him", feeling the fluctuations of "Him", trying to understand the existence of "Him"...
Gradually, he seemed to be floating towards the location where "Him" was, as if his soul had left his body...
When his attention approached the conceptual sculpture, he seemed to see the most magnificent gem in the world. Even though he had never been interested in gems, he couldn't help but marvel at the fact that there were tangents and cross-sections in the world that transcended geometric structures...
"He" seems to have gathered all the brilliant colors that the human eye can capture, as well as those indescribable brilliance that the human eye cannot capture.
When staring at "Him", Lin Yi seemed to see the most beautiful thing in the world. He couldn't tell what it was, nor could he describe it with words. He could only feel an attraction that surpassed everything, which gave rise to a strong, desperate desire to rush over to Him.
All these emotions were beyond Lin Yi's control. He seemed to become numb and crazy. He only wanted to get close to the conceptual sculpture and forgot everything else...
Gradually, the objects in Lin Yi's field of vision became fewer and fewer. Walls, pillars, teaching buildings...all disappeared bit by bit, and only simple lines remained in his world.
Just like art students learning the most basic visual perspective, these lines point to the same end point.
In this extremely simple space, Lin Yi seemed to be led by a pair of invisible hands, slowly floating towards the bright and colorful other side.
On the other side of the glory, the conceptual sculptures are bathed in an unknown light, like dreamy human figures made of glazed stone.
A crazy, morbid look gradually emerged on Lin Yi's face, as if illuminated by the fire of faith, and every subtle expression of his muscles revealed the piety and yearning of a conceptual sculpture.
A light beyond reason began to flicker in Lin Yi's eyes, and that gradually crazy worship was terrifying and appalling.
Lin Yi's heartbeat and breathing gradually synchronized with the fluctuations of the conceptual sculpture. Every movement seemed to match the fluctuations of the conceptual sculpture...
His lips moved slightly, as if he was trying to chant some syllables...
At this moment, the conceptual sculpture seemed to have become the only truth in Lin Yi's world, the beacon in his life, and the destination of his soul.
This kind of worship, like a phoenix in the flames, burns the souls of believers and illuminates their way forward.
Under the radiance of the conceptual sculpture, he seemed to have found a kind of peace.
His expression became calmer and calmer, as if he was a believer who had finally arrived at the foot of the holy mountain after spending his entire life...
He was about to perish.
At this moment, the minimalist lines in the world around him suddenly twisted, and the light and shadows around him seemed to be crushed by an invisible force, turning into a messy line that contained a certain strange order...
At this moment, a strong sense of alertness erupted in Lin Yi's subconscious mind, but this alertness was like the clarity that comes to a numb person at the last moment when he is dragged into a storm, and it could not bring him back from his lost path.
Soon, his blind and foolish belief in conceptual sculptures took over again, and began to lead him to throw himself recklessly into the collapsing light and shadow...
Just when it seemed that only "Him" was left in Lin Yi's world, Mu Daxian's voice suddenly exploded in his ears: "Fuck, Xiaomao, are you fucking looking at Him?"
There was a loud "boom" in Lin Yi's brain, and he instantly came out of that state of madness, numbness and distraction. He looked at Mu Daxian in shock, but found that Mu Daxian was not calling him, but shaking his head.
Mao Feiyang's eyes gradually regained their spirit, but they were full of confusion and puzzlement: "I... I didn't see it just now?"
"The 'perception' of an art student is the eyes. You were just... attracted by Him!" Mu Daxian said solemnly, "As long as you are curious about His existence, He will reveal information to you..."
"The Angel has mercy on the world and will not reject anyone's desire to see Him, but no one can carry the information flow from Him, let alone the thing below..."
"Your perception pushes you toward Him, and His flow of information contaminates you... like some potent cognitive toxin."
When he said this, Mu Daxian suddenly narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Look straight at me, Xiaomao."
When he said this, his voice suddenly became soft and magnetic, but seemed to reveal some kind of unquestionable sense of "command". Mao Feiyang was slightly stunned and looked over subconsciously.
There was a pure and cold golden light flowing between Mu Daxian's eyes, as if the brightest moon in the long, cold and cloudless night was hidden in his eyes.
Mao Feiyang had never seen this side of Mu Daxian before, but in fact he had only known Mu Daxian for no more than 24 hours, so naturally there were many things he didn't know.
However, at this moment, an adjective emerged in both his and Lin Yi's minds at the same time - love at first sight.
But in the next moment, Mu Daxian opened his lips slightly, and uttered a sentence slowly in a cold and powerful rhythm:
"De som jager lyset i tke blir til slutt fantomer". "
