Chapter 355 Go to the Gallery

Lin Yi, who was standing by, saw Lao Mo nod. Although he could not understand the meaning of Lao Mo's strange expression, he knew that his analysis was correct.

At this moment, some noises came from not far behind him. It turned out that those purebred nocturnal creatures who had been following them all the way finally passed through the corridor and entered the hall of the art building. Following closely behind them were those weirdly laughing angels who ignored the laws of physics and whose bodies became translucent.

Those eerily laughing angels were floating without any resistance in the blood mist, still chasing Lin Yi and the others. And those purebred nocturnal creatures, after sensing the presence of the art students, rushed towards them recklessly like starving ghosts breaking into a rich man's banquet.

Lin Yi felt a little anxious, and broke into a cold sweat for the art students nearby: "Oh no, they are being attacked by nocturnal creatures!"

Lao Mo grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, just wait and see what happens next."

As expected, before Lao Mo finished his words, the purebred nocturnal creature closest to the art student had already stretched out its sticky hand with gray nails towards the art student.

However, before it touched the art student, the outstretched arm seemed to have touched an invisible force field, and it went from sticky to dry at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As it continued to dry, pieces of dry, dead skin-like substance began to fall off its body surface, and the drying speed was spreading throughout its body at an even faster pace.

The entire diffusion process was completed in just one or two breaths, and in the end, the body of the purebred nocturnal creature turned into a stiff gray-black sculpture.

The strange thing was that as the "skin" on its body peeled off, the gray-black skin gradually turned into a bluish-gray color, and then turned into a white color like mutton-fat jade, but soon the white color disappeared, and then the entire body began to fly away like the yellow sand in the Gobi Desert, and quickly disappeared in the blood mist...

Such changes were not limited to the purebred nocturnal creature. The "matrix" formed by the art students seemed to have some kind of powerful plundering ability. It destroyed all the purebred nocturnal creatures that invaded the killing range like a crusher, and transformed the extraordinary power in their bodies into part of the blood mist, which became energy that they could dispatch to prevent the hole from expanding.

However, the large amount of mixed gray and black auras carried in the bodies of pure nocturnal species have also become pollution that the art students cannot digest. In the process of absorbing and transforming extraordinary powers, these auras are also constantly eroding their bodies, making the boundary between them and the "Obsession Sculpture" increasingly blurred.

[Howl——]

In the blood mist, the sinister laughter of the Laughing Angels was heard. They did not fly by wings, but by other means. Their wings always remained folded behind their backs, but they fluttered freely and flexibly. They stared at the positions of Lin Yi and Lao Mo and flew over slowly.

However, just as they were flying over a dark corner, the "Angel of Obsession" that had been almost frozen in place suddenly thrust out its bloodless, blue-gray hand from the darkness like lightning.

“Shua——”

Like the hands that suddenly emerged from the cell door grille in the dark cell, even with the ghostly speed of the Laughing Angel, he was unable to avoid their attacks.

"laugh--"

When the palm of the "Obsession Sculpture" reached the Smiling Angel, it passed through it as if it had touched air. However, the next moment, a cold golden light floated in the palm of the "Obsession Sculpture". When the golden light appeared, the palm of the "Obsession Sculpture" easily grabbed the ankle of the Smiling Angel.

【Howl???】

The Laughing Angel was stunned instinctively, and a trace of doubt appeared on its petrified face with a strange smile. But before it could react, the palm of the "Obsession Sculpture" exerted force and dragged it into a dark corner...

Many of the smiling angels that were close to the dark corners could not escape the attack of the "Obsession Sculpture", and the remaining smiling angels instinctively moved away from that corner.

However, when they approached the mural, a similar scene appeared.

The squirming bodies on the mural began to hunt the smiling angel like carnivorous plants.

Seeing with his own eyes the "Obsession Sculpture" and the mural attacking the Laughing Angel, Lin Yi couldn't help but take a breath: "I didn't expect that the "Obsession Sculpture" was not able to fight against the Laughing Angel at all, but could directly kill the Laughing Angel..."

"But the 'obsession sculpture' is fine, but how come this mural is so scary?"

He felt a chill on his back. When he thought about how close he was to the mural just now, he felt scared, afraid that he would accidentally become the mural's food.

He withdrew his gaze and followed Lao Mo around "Living Towards Death" and came to the front of the spiral staircase.

Although time was limited, he still observed "Born Towards Death" with great curiosity. The lobby of the art building was filled with blood mist. The world tree in "Born Towards Death" carried both growth and destruction, as if frozen in time.

In front of the World Tree, there is a huge stone platform with nothing on it except a base.

Lin Yi's attention fell on the broken emblem carved on the long platform. There were very complicated patterns on the emblem, and the only remaining part looked like a pattern of some kind of weapon and the moon, very similar to the pattern on tarot cards or some symbols of ancient rituals.

"That's the totem of the Black Moon Outpost, which means 'watch and struggle.'" Lao Mo explained, glancing at the intricate lines and marks on the broken badge.

After passing the World Tree, a wooden stake covered with signboards appeared at the fork of the corridor behind.

Lin Yi's eyes lit up. It was clearly a signpost in the Art Building. The signs on the signpost pointed the directions of various areas in the Art Building. Except for some signs with "×" symbols painted on them, such as "Altar" and "Observatory", the other slightly damaged signs were:
「Gallery←」

"Art Classroom→"

「Sculpture Classroom→」

「Observation deck←」

……

Lin Yi looked at the signs that were painted over with red paint, and then asked in confusion: "Lao Mo, there is no location for the 'clock tower' here, how should we get there?"

Lao Mo just glanced at the road sign and said, "The clock tower is located in the core area of ​​the art building. As long as you find the location of the gallery, you can determine the location of the clock tower." "Gallery?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned, and the related art department rules immediately appeared in his mind.

[You can appreciate the works of other art masters in the gallery. There are more than just paintings in the gallery, but the works you can stop and appreciate are limited to paintings. ]

[If you want to enter the gallery, please meet at least one of the following conditions: 1. Accompanied by an art teacher; 2. You are being chased by a sculpture (only for alien sculptures or angel sculptures)]

The conditions are met, and they are being hunted by the Laughing Angel.

In addition, the boss also said that when necessary, he can choose to abide by the rules for sports students and choose not to abide by the rules for experience students... So does it also mean that he can abide by the "Art Department Rules" at his discretion?

Before he could figure out what was going on, Lao Mo had already walked towards the gallery.

Lin Yi hurriedly followed, thinking that he was too careless. He followed Lao Mo and took a completely unconventional route to the Art Building without knowing what rules he was following. What the hell were they still following?

In Lao Mo's words, it is the "relative rules". It is like there is actually an implicit rule in the code of conduct for both the experience students and the sports students - unconditionally obey all orders from the security guards and absolutely trust the security guards.

Because of this, when they encounter difficulties, they can follow the security guards without thinking, and do not need to consider what route the security guards take them.

Maybe Lao Mo is in a similar situation now?
Do you have a sense of superiority, that “my rules are above yours”?
So following Lao Mo is actually the "rule" that we should follow now?
Lin Yi felt that this was the case.

The lobby of the Art Building seems to be a nearly circular area, with corridors distributed inside like an ancient Roman duel arena. If you don't look at the road signs, it is easy to lose your position in the corridors.

Because some corridors actually contain dark corners where "obsession sculptures" lurk.

As for the road leading to the art classroom, go about 120 to 130 meters in that direction, and then you will reach "Art Classroom-VI".

But if Lin Yi remembered correctly, when Mu Daxian and Maozi left Art Classroom-VI and returned to the lobby of the Art Building, they seemed to have walked down a spiral staircase.

At this moment, Lin Yi understood that the art classroom was not a single floor, but a large classroom that occupied at least two floors. After all, the internal layout that was similar to that of an ancient European opera house did conform to the design logic of several floors.

For example, the door that Maozi used to enter Art Classroom VI was on the first floor. When he left, Mu Daxian took him through the door on the second floor, and then walked down the stairs to the first floor.

The two of them continued to move forward cautiously in the dark corridor. The wind in the corridor was very strong and pushed them forward from behind. If they were not careful, they would fall to the ground. But despite this, he never thought of holding on to the wall. After all, in those dark places under the lights, who knows what is hidden.

The light curtain held up by the big eyeballs in Lao Mo's hands was much smaller than before. The extraordinary power within those big eyeballs was dissipating faster and faster. It wouldn't be long before they could only rely on the dim candlelight in the corridor for illumination.

Looking at the slowly shrinking range of light, Lin Yi's heart slowly lifted. Although there were many big eyeballs, they didn't seem to be durable.

Lao Mo also noticed this and couldn't help but frowned.

"It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable..."

Hearing this, Lin Yi subconsciously clenched his teeth and said, "I won't say more... If you need to charge, I will definitely cooperate."

"Don't worry, I will definitely leave you some room." Lao Mo was not polite at all. After all, sincerity is the eternal killer skill.

Lin Yi also realized the power of this ultimate move. After all, if Lao Mo didn't restrain himself, he would really kill him.

After following Lao Mo around in the corridor for a while, Lin Yi found that the wind in the corridor had become much weaker, and even the sound of the wind seemed to be dying down.

But what followed was a gray mist that gradually filled the corridor.

"Gray fog..." Lao Mo muttered, "It looks very close."

He glanced at the big eyeball in his hand, then stepped into the gray fog.

"Kid, from now on... I don't have that much time to take care of you. Follow me closely. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to use the 'identity anchor' in your mind to anchor yourself, otherwise it will be very difficult for us." Lao Mo's admonition sounded in his ears, "The only anchor you can use is 'you are by my side', do you understand?"

"I understand." Lin Yi's expression was extremely solemn, and he followed Lao Mo into the gray fog.

The gray fog floated on the stone slabs of the corridor like fluffy cotton wool. Walking on it gave a cool feeling and a very subtle sense of blockage.

At first, Lin Yi didn't feel anything, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Lao Mo... this fog?"

Lin Yi felt that the flow of supernatural power in the body below the calves covered by mist seemed to be slightly affected, and even the blood circulation seemed to slow down. That was why he felt that cool feeling.

This is not a change in body temperature, but rather the inhibition of his muscle activity.

"This is one of the many complex properties of the gray fog... 'rejection'." Lao Mo said, "When it becomes dense enough, it will suppress all the extraordinary powers in it except the gray..."

"When we are in the gray fog, we cannot get effective supernatural power supply, especially me. I am not a 'living person'. The 'induction' of the gray fog to me is much stronger than that to you. Moreover, the characteristic of my 'domain' is that I can forcibly absorb the supernatural power of all polluters in the domain whose pollution depth is lower than mine. But in the gray fog, my domain will absorb the gray supernatural power together. So on this side of the gray fog, I am the easiest to be 'turned'..."

Lin Yi almost screamed out when he heard this, "We're not buddies, so in the end, I'm the nuclear power plant with a nuclear leak, and you're India's nuclear bomb. Not only is the trajectory random, but even the fucking landing point is random?"
It turns out that where there is a sleeping dragon, there must be a phoenix chick!
