Chapter 332 "Yin Bi" and "Secret Pattern Totemology"?

Chapter 332 "Yin Bi" and... "Secret Pattern Totemology"?
Feeling the noise coming from far away, Kuai Hongji tapped his knees lightly with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

Lin Yi was also looking at the location where the noise was so loud with curiosity. He was actually watching the whole process of Kuai Hongji's arrangements. He simply tampered with some vegetation, exposing some lamp posts that were covered by the grown vegetation.

But he did not see any red paint numbers left on the lamppost, nor did he feel that there was anything wrong with the appearance of the lamppost.

Today, the mountain man is swinging the lamppost with the courage of Lu Bu when he was alive.

However, the expressions on those fanatics' faces seemed very strange, as if it was not just fear, but also... disgust.

It really looked like the lamp post that the mountain man was swinging... had been soaked in a pit of manure.

Shan Nan has already started the full-scale combat mode. The cursor on his exoskeleton armor began to flash red. The depressed emotions that had been madly suppressed were completely dispersed at this moment. He swung the lamppost and made a stick flower. Gusts of materialized strong wind formed a field around him, and the fanatics retreated one after another.

Occasionally, some fanatics were unable to dodge and were hit by lampposts. Some parts of their bodies would twitch violently and begin to emit smoke, as if their bodies were also corroded.

They decisively gave up the part in their hands and retreated with great fear.

"Hahahaha..." Shannan became more and more courageous, rushing forward with the lamppost in his hand. However, after he rushed for a distance, cracks began to appear on the lamppost.

Shannan noticed this problem, a serious look appeared in his eyes, and he quickly retreated.

"Don't let him get away!" the fanatics yelled.

"What a waste!" On the other side of the barren land, a few fanatics who seemed to hold some power in their hands cursed. After smearing all the solidified supernatural power in the vessels in their hands on the large plaster body, they put down the vessels in their hands, told the fanatic behind him, "Slow down", and left the barren land, turning into a dark afterimage, and rushed towards the mountain man's position.

"Those who have finished their work, follow me. Let's finish this quickly!"

He then took away some of the fanatics.

As the fanatics left one after another, Kuai Hongji seemed to feel that the time had come, so he took out a piece of tattered dark green cloth from somewhere, shook it out and put it on his body.

This seemed to be one of the preparations he had made before. Now that he put it on and put on the hood, he looked almost the same as a fanatic.

He fell from the gnarled branches of an old tree, then dived into the barren land in the mist.

Under the cover of the overlapping mist phantoms and large plaster bodies, he easily passed through the area, and at the same time picked up a vessel that a fanatic had dropped before leaving.

He held the vessel in his hands, imitating the body gestures and gait of the fanatics, and wandered like a ghost in front of the remaining large plaster bodies.

Fortunately, due to the departure of a large number of fanatics, the remaining fanatics were concentrating on applying large plaster bodies. In addition, due to the haziness of the foggy environment and the existence of many complex factors, almost no fanatics noticed the existence of Kuai Hongji. Some of them noticed it, but did not have any doubts. They just thought he was one of the same kind and went on with their own work.

Kuai Hongji seemed to be making some subtle changes to the marks on the large plaster. He was like an archaeologist who understood these mysterious symbols and strange marks, and had the skills of a master sculptor. He simply modified the solidified extraordinary power that had not yet completely dried, and changed the meaning of the symbols in detail...

After a while, Kuai Hongji carried the vessel into the depths of the barren land. Holding the vessel, he came to the area covered with huge and hideous cracks like a true fanatic. He placed the vessel near the pit to draw in and solidify the extraordinary power.

At the same time, he also crawled down and inhaled the gray mist like a fanatic.

Just when Lin Yi thought that Kuai Hongji was just playing around, unexpectedly, Kuai Hongji actually started to inhale the gray mist.

This scared Lin Yi a lot, and when he carefully observed Kuai Hongji's condition, he found that Kuai Hongji himself was still like a transparent hole guiding the gray mist into his body, and when the gray mist flowed out of his body, it seemed that something was missing...

By sensing, Lin Yi discovered that what Kuai Hongji inhaled was actually the pure "original pollution" in the gray fog!
"Kuai Kuai actually has such a skill?" Lin Yi was shocked. Kuai Hongji's process of absorbing "Original Pollution" was like installing a layer of filter at the mouth of the cup. The tea leaves were not touched at all, but he drank the same amount of tea.

"How on earth did they do this?!"

Lin Yi really couldn't understand it. It was like watching a nerd doing homework or an expert painting. The principles were obviously the same, but why did you add a few details and it was like magic? !
Kuai Hongji absorbed the original pollution slowly and leisurely without even attracting the attention of any fanatics. Meanwhile, the vessel at his hand was still absorbing and solidifying the extraordinary power bit by bit.

At this moment, there was a heavy vibration coming from outside the green forest belt, as if some ancient machine was started.

Such fluctuations were transmitted along the earth and were felt by Kuai Hongji.

"There seems to be some movement at the gymnasium..."

He didn't speak, but Lin Yi seemed to hear Kuai Hongji's voice.

And Kuai Hongji's inner voice seemed to indicate that he had some kind of extremely strong sense.

"Mr. Tian and Fatty left the gymnasium area..."

"Lao Lin and Wei Liang stayed over there..."

"So far, everything is going as planned... No." Kuai Hongji glanced at Shan Nan's position, "With that moving target, I feel much more relaxed..."

"The tolerance is very high. If we wait a little longer, the effect will be better..."

Listening to Kuai Hongji's inner thoughts, Lin Yi couldn't help but look at Shan Nan once more. From Kuai Hongji's tone, Shan Nan's appearance seemed to be "unplanned", but he directly calculated it and it became a step in his plan?

"Could it be that... Kuai Kuai originally planned to sneak in here directly, but the appearance of Shan Nan made him take another step to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

No wonder Kuai Hongji specifically directed Shan Nan to the lamppost, just to prevent Shan Nan from being driven away by the fanatics so quickly, and by the way to attract more attention of the fanatics and distract some of the pressure he would get?
Not long after, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Kuai Hongji's eyes.

"Very good, Lao Lin has found a flaw in the "city wall"..."

"According to estimates, there is a 60% chance that he will try to repair the cracks..."

"Very good... I chose this step."

"In that case, let's start here..."

"Relying on those second-hand extraordinary powers alone is not enough to support him to repair many cracks. Let me give him some useful information..."

Kuai Hongji picked up the strange container that was not yet full and slowly walked towards a large piece of plaster.

Sensing his arrival, the fanatic over there smeared the last bit of solidified supernatural power in his hand onto the large plaster body, then "changed shifts" with Kuai Hongji, holding the vessel and walking towards the cracked pit.

The whole process went smoother than Lin Yi had imagined. Not even a minor incident occurred along the way. The whole incident was so smooth that it seemed as if Kuai Hongji was really a fanatic who was familiar with the process.

There was no flaw in every move he made, as if he had already rehearsed it countless times.

He came to the large plaster body, and then used the solidified extraordinary power in the vessel at hand to start painting some mysterious symbols. As these mysterious symbols were constructed, a hidden power began to penetrate from the inside of the large plaster body into the ground, just like pouring water into a canal. Soon, all the large plaster bodies beside the "canal" were attracted by this power and slowly started to work...

Some fanatics who were applying the large plaster body sensed the abnormal fluctuations inside the large plaster body and immediately realized the problem. They shouted out loudly: "Something went wrong! The nodes on my side were triggered by an unknown force!"

"Same here!"

"Me too!"

The voices of fanatics rose and fell.

"Oh no, something weird has invaded here!"

"Everyone, quickly find the abnormal 'secret pattern' on the node and disintegrate it!"

"it is good!"

"hurry up!"

All the fanatics were alert and started tinkering with the codes in their hands like hackers dealing with an intrusion, starting an invisible and mysterious battle.

Kuai Hongji smiled sinisterly and just followed the order to increase the speed at which he painted the symbols.

But how could his methods be so simple?
When that wave penetrated into the last large plaster body around the "water channel", the large plaster body array around the entire barren land was activated, and various waves intersected and matched each other, as if a chip that had achieved a closed loop started to operate directly!

"Oops!"

"More than just nodes... "Matrix"! ! "

"The entire "Matrix" has been activated! !"

"Someone has rewritten the secret pattern of the entire "Matrix"!"

"who is it?!"

"Everyone stop! Find the person who did this first!"

As soon as this voice sounded, the voice of denial immediately rose several degrees: "Stop! Are you crazy?! Everyone, don't stop, hurry up and find the problem on your own node, don't let the problem spread!"

"What are you doing? Why don't you stop?!"

"Idiot! We don't even know where our opponent is or what he's doing. Should we stop to give him more chances? Tell me how to stop? Keep going! Everyone keep going!"

"Hurry up and find the flaw in the secret pattern! Rewrite it! This is the key to turning the situation around!"

"quick!"

Several fanatics who looked like leaders argued loudly, but in the end, the fanatic who insisted on continuing gained the upper hand in theory, and all the fanatics continued to do it.

Under the hood, there was no extra expression on Kuai Hongji's face, as if everything was under his control.

In fact, from the moment the matrix was closed, Kuai Hongji's conspiracy had already succeeded. No matter what the fanatics did afterwards, they could not have much impact on his plan.

If the fanatics do not take any follow-up actions, the matrix will continue to operate;
If the fanatics continue to find ways to crack the follow-up, then Kuai Hongji will have more opportunities to attack the large plaster body.

When the entire matrix was closed, Kuai Hongji used a point to break through the surface, and began to fight all the fanatics on the secret pattern with his own strength, launching an invisible secret pattern war...

Lin Yi's heart was pounding. What did he just hear? !

"'Secret pattern'...?!"

Just now, the fanatic seemed to have mentioned the word secret pattern repeatedly?

Lin Yi's mind quickly flashed back to what Li Huiyuan had said...

["Totem" is a very broad concept. From some initial written symbols to later simple drawings, it looks like just a cultural symbol, but it is actually a special "language". Symbols are just a way to carry this language...]

[It’s very difficult to learn.]

"Could this be... "Secret Pattern Totemology"?!"

"Kuai Kuai actually studied secret pattern totemology?"

"No... aren't we both majoring in architecture?"

It's just like everyone is a martial artist, and after a hundred years everyone dies, but you are the one who ascends to heaven.

How could it be so weird...

Before he could recover, he heard Kuai Hongji's inner voice again:
"It's almost time to give Old Lin some useful information..."

The moment the voice in his heart sounded, Lin Yi was horrified to find that the extraordinary power in the matrix actually poured into Kuai Hongji's body in a strange form.

And just like his original body directly swallowed a large amount of breath in the "feast" of the dome and compressed it into golden breath, and then made the golden breath disappear out of thin air, these extremely pure extraordinary powers also disappeared directly after entering Kuai Hongji's body, as if they had never appeared at all!
"This time point... is when I will focus on repairing the cracks in the city wall!"

Based on an intuition, Lin Yi felt that part of the extraordinary powers absorbed by Kuai Hongji was transmitted to his body through an unknown way, and then through his body, to his consciousness at that point in time.

"That is to say... at that moment, the reason why I was able to repair the city wall was not only because I absorbed the auras from the feast, but also because of the help that Kuai Kuai secretly provided?"

"Even... the extraordinary power on Kuai Kuai's side is the most important thing?"

At this moment, the fanatics also realized that something was wrong with the matrix and shouted:
"No, absolutely not!!"

"There's no way to stop it!"

"The Matrix has closed its loop! It cannot be terminated!"
