Chapter 349 Lao Mo's Bag
Chapter 349 Lao Mo's Bag
Just now... could it be that Lao Mo grabbed this thing away from him and stepped on it? !
Rather than being targeted and attacked by the Laughing Angel as soon as he landed, Lin Yi was more shocked because the Laughing Angel had no form. How could it be trampled under the feet of Lao Mo?!
“What the hell is going on?!”
The words that Lao Mo had said emerged in his mind:
"The Laughing Angels are a phenomenon in which pollutants infiltrate the layers... Their entities are out of sync with the layers you see, so they look like ghosts."
"Just pull them out of that layer, but this requires a very deep level of contamination, otherwise it will only backfire..."
"Those who are capable of fighting no longer need to follow the rules..."
"Capable of Fighting"
《Just pull them out of the layer》
But Lin Yi's attention couldn't help but fall on Lao Mo's hand. There was a layer of golden aura floating on his palm, as if that was the prerequisite that needed to be met to pull the Smiley Angel out of the layer?
He thought of the eerie laughing angel that took shape after being illuminated by the old kerosene lamp...
"Could it be that the golden aura has a certain inhibitory effect on the Laughing Angel?"
"But doesn't the Laughing Angel itself have a golden aura?"
"What's going on here?"
And around him, he also noticed some strange noises, "rustling, rustling", as if something was crawling stealthily.
He immediately noticed that there were a large number of purebred nocturnal creatures hiding under the edge of the lookout, and that was where those sneaky noises came from.
Just like the purebred nocturnal species in the teaching building who wanted to get close to the Laughing Angel but didn't dare to do so, these purebred nocturnal species seemed to have an innate, instinctive, inferiority complex in front of the angel sculpture. They only dared to look at the Laughing Angel from a distance and didn't dare to get too close - even though the Laughing Angel was being trampled by Lao Mo.
Before he could see more, a "ripping" sound accompanied by a shrill roar suddenly attracted Lin Yi's attention.
I saw Lao Mo tearing off the wings of the Smile Angel, and a blood-like mist mixed with gold, gray and green colors sprayed out directly from the broken roots of the Smile Angel's wings, splashing all over Lao Mo's body.
Some other water mist was swept away by the storm and drifted everywhere, while the purebred nocturnal species hidden in the darkness and corners of the lookout tower cheered as if a long-awaited rain had finally come. They rushed towards the direction where the water mist was drifting at all costs, even if it meant jumping out from the edge of the lookout tower.
Some of them fell down as soon as they touched the water mist because they jumped into the air, rushed into the ocean, and were swept away by the surging sea water.
What's even more terrifying is that just because it was stained with a little bit of residue from the angel sculpture, the moment it fell into the ocean, countless purebred nocturnal species swarmed in and divided it up directly as if they were fighting for food.
Other purebred nocturnal species are no exception. Anyone who grabs the extraordinary power inside the angel statue and does not have time to digest it will be plundered by other purebred nocturnal species.
These purebred nocturnal species seemed to lack even the most basic species instincts.
The pair of wings in Lao Mo's hands began to undergo another kind of evil deformation. Every feather began to wriggle, as if it was becoming shriveled or turned into other shapes. But no matter how it changed, it eventually changed in one direction - the eyeballs.
Lin Yi immediately thought of the transformation of the angry angel in "Feast". The wings of the angel sculpture did turn into big eyeballs.
The smiling angel who had lost his wings was still struggling on the ground, making some obscure roars from his mouth, and no one knew what he was saying.
Lao Mo dragged its translucent body and slowly walked to Lin Yi's side, then took its last breath and threw it to the side.
The angel with broken wings and a strange smile was clearly still gasping for breath on the ground, but when he saw Lin Yi, his pair of somewhat dim golden eyes immediately seemed to rekindle their flames.
Its mouth was moving and roaring, and its eyes revealed an intense greed and desire, as if it was eager to bite off a piece of Lin Yi's flesh even at the cost of its life.
Lao Mo frowned and reached out to grab the back of its neck.
Lin Yi noticed that the back of the neck of this angel with a strange smile was illusory, that is, it was in a virtual and untouchable state, but Lao Mo still held it.
"Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly discovered that the reason why Lao Mo could do this was because there was a layer of golden aura attached to his hands.
Just like reaching out to touch the large plaster body in the Matrix, Old Mo now captured the "body" of the Laughing Angel in a similar way.
The next moment, Lao Mo exerted force and broke the Laughing Angel's neck, twisting its face to the side where Lin Yi could not be seen.
After completing this step, Lao Mo used the still-breathing Smiley Angel as a bench, sat on it, and then took off the backpack on his back.
“Lao Mo… huh, huh…” Lin Yi panted weakly, “We… huh, huh… why don’t we go directly to the Art Building… huh, huh…?”
Lao Mo said, "The Art Building has been shrouded by the Night Watchman's territory. It's not worth it to force your way through. Besides... I just happen to have something to tell you, and you need to recover, right?"
"Take out the things in the package and eat them... Although this kind of supplies is far less beneficial to you than directly consuming supernatural powers, you are a 'human' after all, and your hunger still needs some material means to replenish it."
"If you consume too much extraordinary power, you will gradually forget that you are still a human being."
As Lao Mo spoke, he took off the backpack behind him and unzipped it in front of Lin Yi...
“Shua——”
After the zipper was opened, Lin Yi was stunned by what was inside.
"Fan...Tomato...?!"
There was a whole bag of tomatoes in Lao Mo’s bag!
Lao Mo had expected Lin Yi to be shocked. He twisted his wrist, took out a tomato and handed it to Lin Yi: "Here... tomatoes are more effective than those snacks. Those green skins were reluctant to give them to me. I spent a lot of effort to reason with them before I could convince them."
Lin Yi looked at the tomato in Lao Mo's hand and was reluctant to take it.
Lin Yi didn't take any action, but the purebred nocturnal creatures around him smelled the scent and passed by.
The edge of the observation deck is connected to a stone bridge, and the other end of the stone bridge is the art building. At this time, the purebred nocturnal species on the back of the stone bridge also became restless. As if they were stimulated, they crawled up the side of the stone bridge from the back, and popped their heads out from the side of the stone bridge in the heavy rain mixed with thick fog, and then began to crawl towards Lao Mo... Once they reached the ground, the "rustling" sounds turned into "rustling" sounds.
“Rustle… rustle…”
This familiar sound seemed to be imprinted in Lin Yi's soul. Isn't this the sound of stones rubbing against each other that he usually hears in the fog when he walks around the campus at night?
But now, these things were not just behind him, but crawled up from under the stone bridge and the watchtower, spreading slowly like a tide.
Although the fog was a bit thick here, Lin Yi still clearly caught the twisted and crawling forms of those purebred nocturnal creatures that looked like neither human nor beast.
"Don't worry about them." Lao Mo said, "These things come from the sea, and they can't be killed. It's a waste of energy to play with them."
"Coincidentally, there was a blind Laughing Angel who came to attack you, and I caught him red-handed. And this..." He raised a long string of big eyeballs that were successfully transformed from the Laughing Angel's wings, "Do you know what this is?"
"Isn't this... the wings of the Laughing Angel?" Lin Yi quickly recovered his strength and soon stopped panting. "How did they become eyes?"
He had some trypophobia, and looking at that string of big eyeballs, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Lao Mo smiled and said, "You may not know this, but this thing is the light bulb inside the street lamp. Every time we catch the Laughing Angel, we are happy for a long time."
"This thing is not common on campus. It only appears during the gray fog invasion. Only then will we have the opportunity to 'collect materials'."
"Uh... doesn't the term 'drawing materials' refer to cooking?"
Lao Mo gestured at his outfit and said, "Am I not a chef who cooks?"
Lin Yi was speechless for a moment: "If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that you are a "chef."
He couldn't say which chef used angel sculptures as ingredients...
Lao Mo said: "Although these things have not been processed, their effects are no worse than street lamps. Just put a string of them here, and the bright places are safe places."
Lin Yi opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Lao Mo inserted two strings of big eyeballs into the translucent body of the Smile Angel like planting trees. The two strings of big eyeballs began to absorb extraordinary power from the Smile Angel's body as if they were charging, and continuously stored it in each big eyeball. The big eyeballs that were originally showing a tendency to shrink also began to swell and become full rapidly.
Lao Mo took the tomato from the bag and played with it. After a pause, he looked at Lin Yi and said, "Do you know what a tomato is?"
"Tomatoes are... the heart, right?" Lin Yi pursed his lips, reached out and took out a bottle of water and a piece of bread from the package, tore open the packaging and began to gobble them up.
Seeing Lin Yi's hesitation, Lao Mo smiled and did not force him to eat. Instead, he said, "Tomatoes are the heart of the polluter... but there are also differences in types."
"Some are human hearts, that's true. After all, those greenskins like that... But some tomatoes are not human, but from other polluters, such as pseudo-humans and greenskins..."
"If you ever have the opportunity to crush angel sculptures, you'll find that the tomatoes made from their 'hearts' are of higher quality and have a more delicious taste."
Lin Yi: “…”
Lao Mo said, "So, if you only think of tomatoes as 'human hearts', then your perspective is too low. For those things that were not 'humans' from the beginning, their hearts were not flesh and blood from the beginning, but some kind of solidified extraordinary power."
"That's enough. Tomatoes are actually a kind of 'energy', an energy whose lower limit is not too low but whose upper limit is very high..."
"For ordinary test takers, eating tomatoes, even the 'human heart tomatoes' given by the green skin, will cause great pollution. But for people like you and me, the extraordinary power contained in tomatoes is indeed complicated, but it is harmless. The breath you just devoured, the extraordinary power of the green system in it alone is equivalent to this tomato..."
"Take it. You can drink the plain soup or the plain hot pot. It's better to have a little taste in your mouth than chewing wax."
Lao Mo threw the tomato in his hand over.
Lin Yi caught the tomato with his backhand, and some rules related to eating tomatoes popped up in his mind in real time.
The Art Student Guidelines states:
[If necessary, you can eat foods containing tomato elements. ]
[If you experience a craving for tomato-based foods under certain circumstances, don’t panic; this is normal for an art student.]
The Sports Student Code states:
[You can eat any food with a blue or green scent, such as tomatoes or foods containing tomato elements, and they will not effectively pollute you. ]
[However, if you find yourself showing a strong craving for such food, please inform the PE teacher as soon as you return to the gymnasium and follow the PE teacher's instructions.]
What this means is that for those who are deeply polluted, eating tomatoes is indeed not a taboo, and Lao Mo's explanation also explains why the code mentions "showing a desire for such food." This is because they are addicted to eating tomatoes, or in other words, addicted to absorbing the complex supernatural power.
That is a sign that pollution is getting worse and starting to get out of control. If you encounter this kind of thing, you must naturally report it to the teacher.
Lin Yi played with the tomato for a while, then opened his mouth and took a bite.
When he took a bite of the tomato, the fresh juice splashed all over his mouth. He subconsciously felt nauseous, and a bloody smell filled his mouth.
Seeing Lin Yi's expression change, Lao Mo said speechlessly: "Don't have preconceived ideas. When you eat this kind of thing, your subconscious 'cognition' will guide your taste buds. Just treat them as normal tomatoes and don't think too much."
Don't Think Too Much
Lin Yi never expected to hear such words in such a situation.
Originally, they knew nothing. The class teacher-039 and Xu Shunkang would tell them "Don't think too much". Now they know almost everything. The senior Lao Mo also told them "Don't think too much".
Don’t think too much about these four words, their value is actually increasing rapidly.
Lin Yi corrected his thinking, and he really felt that the tomato tasted much crisper...
Thinking that these tomatoes were obtained by Lao Mo from the green bib chef, Lin Yi couldn't help but have an idea: "Lao Mo, the 'truth' you and the green hats talked about must be very big, right?"
