Chapter 365: Designed?!
Chapter 365: Designed...?!
"Hey wait..." Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he actually felt familiar with some of the "bands" in these syllables, "Could this be... "The Iron Law of the Night Watch"?!"
When he had this thought, the thin figure instantly appeared in his mind again...
"Ding!"
“Ding! Ding!”
The thin figure who had carved the secret pattern on the iron sheet with an axe and chisel appeared in his mind again, and this time, the image became clearer...
To be more precise, it is not only the image that is clear, but also the environment around him...
The environment around him seemed to be... right here!
It’s the first floor of this clock tower!
"The secret pattern on this wall... was also created by him? So, he is one of the "original apostles" who built the Art Building, no, the Black Moon Outpost?!"
“Ding! Ding…”
That thin figure was gently beating the iron sheet in Lin Yi's mind.
Once, once, once...
Every hammer was exactly the same, as if caught in an endless loop!
This thin figure gradually faded away in his mind. Such a calm appearance and calm disappearance did not bring any emotional fluctuations, but instead made Lin Yi have one uneasy premonition after another.
"who is he?"
"Why did it appear in my mind?"
"I don't even know him, why do I keep fantasizing about him?!"
Lin Yi was completely confused. If this person was a female character in the H comic he had read recently, or the boss, Li Huiyuan, the class teacher-039, or even Xia Lian, anyone he had ever interacted with, he could accept it. But why was it someone he had never had any impression of?
"Maybe... I can tell this to Master Tian!" Lin Yi pondered to himself. It is now midnight on May 5th. If I stay overnight in the dormitory, it will be the fourth night. When this day is over and I go to the dormitory at night, it will be the fifth night!
This is exactly the "fifth night" that Tian Bufan mentioned "where everything will be revealed"!
Just right!
“Wait… ‘Just right’?!”
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.
Why was his first reaction "Just fine"? !
Although it is normal to have this thought, why... there is an inexplicable sense of coincidence between the lines?
It was like a pre-written script. Could it be that even his inability to return to the dormitory tonight was part of Tian Bufan's plan? !
Because from the depth of his cognition, at this time, that is, tonight, he has already arrived at all the buildings except the Art Building and the Library. There should be no problem in discussing with Tian Bufan!
wrong!
《Except the Art Building and the Library》
In addition to the art building and library...
Apart from……
Lin Yi's heart began to beat "boom! boom!" and his expression became extremely solemn. He seemed to be staring at something in the void with a solemn expression, as if focusing on the air.
"After you press the button, the elevator will automatically start running... After that, you must always keep an eye on the floor display inside the elevator. No matter which floor of the 'teaching building' or 'dormitory' it stops at, and no matter if there are 'things' going up or down the elevator, you cannot get out..."
"You can only exit when the elevator stops at the 'library'..."
"When you get to the library, you'll see the Library Rules... You can... You can also..."
"But when the red light comes on in the library, you must immediately go to the counter on the first floor of the library..."
"...wait for the security guard to show up, then follow him and you can leave the library and return to the campus..."
The instructions that Lao Mo gave him regarding how to return to campus echoed in his ears over and over again.
On this fourth night, he couldn't go back to the dormitory because he would appear in the Art Building, then go to the library, and finally follow the security guards back to the campus safely...
In this way, the fragments of the last two location areas on the campus were complete in his cognition!
In this way, there is no "except"!
But this... was all in Tian Bufan's plan, no, it was all in the original plan? !
Lin Yi's scalp tingled, but he also felt a vague sense of elusive inspiration.
……
"Zero One... that sounds terrible..."
"Then what should we call it..."
"One, two, three, four, five? Hahahaha..."
That thing, not sure if it was "memory" or not, suddenly reappeared.
In the intermittent and blurry fragments, the last faint voice said:
"The name is not important, let's talk about the division of labor..."
This voice sounded very much like the voice of Master Tian in his memory, but he couldn't tell what was wrong with it. It was more like... his own voice with the tone of Master Tian.
Lin Yi thought of the string of numbers whose entire numbers could not be seen clearly:
“…4016…”
He saw the book with blurry cover again——
The cover of the book is a castle, with the words "Architectural Design" faintly visible...
Wait, a castle?!
Art Building…?!
Designer… ?
Could it be...? !
"Could that book be related to the design of the art building?!"
He remembered that there seemed to be a scribbled design at the bottom of the book. It was blurry and looked a bit like a copper coil, and a bit like a reactor. But if you look at it as a whole, it looked like... some kind of weird, ultra-modern geometric architectural structure...
"etc……!!"
“Wait wait wait!!!”
That elusive inspiration suddenly had a small tail! He vaguely grasped this tail!
"Isn't this Tian Bufan's plan, but... it's a plan made by 'us' together!"
"Is this part of the plan?"
"Pollution from the Mao family!"
"Exploring the campus!"
"Stained Ashes!"
"I met Lao Mo because of Angel Eyes!"
"Training in the gym!"
"Kuai Kuai's destruction of the matrix and Lao Mo's repair of the matrix!"
"I arrived at the Art Building!"
"Is all of this a 'design'?!"
"Who designed these? Was it... 'me'?"
"I designed... everything that would happen to me?!"
"No, it's not necessarily 'I', but... 'we'?!"
Lin Yi's thoughts became increasingly blurred. This fleeting inspiration seemed to be telling him something, but perhaps these were things he already knew!
He knew that his memory was missing billions of parts!
and so--
They planned all this in advance!
and--
Mr. Tian just said that he would tell everything on the fifth day, because this experience will only last seven days in total, and waking up on the fifth day is actually the beginning of the sixth day!
No matter what happens, there are two days to act!
Wait, “two days”?!
Two days... Is there any other way to say this "time"?
"Two days! Liangzi said that he spent two days in the dormitory, but he was 'dazed' and 'had no memory' of those two days. And many fake people who seemed to be targeting Liangzi appeared on the campus..."
“Is there some connection here?”
Lin Yi felt more and more that the seven-day experience at S City University seemed to have a different meaning. Perhaps it was not the traditional "7", but "5+2", because in the last two days... there were no updated courses on the schedule for the time being.
For a seven-day event, the last two days may have special significance.
Although it was a little unbelievable to plan everything in advance, after experiencing so many things, Lin Yi felt that he had to learn to accept even the most outrageous things.
For example, Wei Shan beat up the green bib chef several times but there was no sign of contamination;
For example, Kuai Hongji blew up the matrix by himself and escaped unscathed.
Another example is Wei Liang's seemingly reasonable yet completely irrational tricks that can always resolve crises just right...
Is this normal?
Thinking that it is normal is the most abnormal thing!
Wei Liang became more and more fascinating in his heart. After experiencing the experience of the fake Wei Liang climbing onto the bed in the dormitory and the fake Wei Liang calling him in the toilet of the teaching building, he even felt that it would not be unacceptable if the night watchman took off his sharp hat and revealed Wei Liang's face.
After all, Wei Liang never took off his baseball cap. Even in the gym, he always wore it on his head except when swimming, as if the baseball cap was his true self.
Lin Yi's heart was pounding. He calmed down and thought about the voice that seemed to be Tian Bufan's reminder to "pay attention to your vision". Then he realized that the voice that appeared as if by magic was his own voice.
It was as if there was a hidden, wise personality that was observing his behavior from a God's perspective, and then couldn't stand it anymore and gave him a little reminder.
So, could it be that everything he is experiencing now is a method they had "designed" to explore art?
Three-meter sight distance, carpet-style advancement, step by step, once encountering a problem, you can stop in time... Thinking about it this way, although the restrictions are great, isn’t it an advantage? !
Choosing the right measuring instrument is the key to doing a job well!
Lin Yi was almost convinced that he had the Ah Q spirit, but this series of lightning-fast thought jumps made his thinking become clearer but also more and more confused.
He felt that just as he reached this level, his thinking began to be disturbed by other levels. When he was halfway through solving the problem, there were more and more conditions, but many of them were irrelevant to the answer...
He felt his mind becoming increasingly confused, and in a trance he seemed to hear the sound of iron chains scraping against the ground...
That familiar yet terrifying voice!
However, just as the "clattering" sound of the iron chains appeared, a heavy and crisp pounding sound shattered his confused thoughts and pulled him out of it.
"Ding!"
"bite!!"
The thin figure that appeared in his mind was still holding the hammer, hammering something slowly and steadily.
For some reason, after hearing such a pounding sound, Lin Yi's heart actually slowly calmed down, just like a person who was troubled by the worldly affairs suddenly heard the sound of an old monk ringing a bell from an ancient temple in the mountains...
Lin Yi's attention gradually stopped thinking about these things, and no longer fell on the thin figure, so everything slowly faded away, but the "ding ding ding" sound of hammering still rang rhythmically, as if it had been like this since time immemorial.
The whispers and calls that lingered in his ears, like the pounding sounds, continued incessantly, but were also much clearer.
It was as if it had become some kind of BGM accompanying him.
Lin Yi also slowly adapted to the existence of these sounds by adjusting his rhythm, thus minimizing their impact on himself. He maintained a "visual insight" of three meters and moved slowly along the wall of the bell tower.
Suddenly...his perception penetrated the wall of the clock tower!
His perception range was three meters, and when he got close to the wall, the three-meter range naturally exceeded the boundaries of the wall and extended to... the outside of the wall of the bell tower!
“I… sensed it!”
Golden light floated in Lin Yi's eyes, and his hairs stood up like antennas, as if gathering some invisible energy.
He saw a kind of glue-like sticky liquid clinging to the outer wall of the bell tower. The liquid was like a symbiotic battle suit formed by "Venom", constantly wriggling and jumping, spreading toward the top of the bell tower like ivy.
But invisible waves, one after another, like spreading ripples, harvested them one after another, causing them to constantly break into countless dust particles, mix with the storm and be blown into pieces.
A large part of the "oil" in storms comes from their bodies, which are the substances formed after they are annihilated.
As if sensing Lin Yi's presence, the liquid gelatinous substances around him became agitated and gathered towards Lin Yi!
They made a hissing sound and gathered together like a swarm of sensitive black liquid insects, following the smell.
Just when Lin Yi thought that he could observe them safely with the protection of the bell tower walls, he saw the liquid black colloid tremble slightly, and then a feeling of being stung by the soul was transmitted to his heart!
His "perception"... was like a bite taken away by a bug!
Lin Yi's face changed color and he retreated repeatedly, pulling the three-meter range back into the wall!
He touched his head and felt a little pain, as if someone had poked it quickly with a nail, and the aftereffect was so strong that he grimaced in pain.
But soon the extraordinary power in his body surged over and helped him "repair" himself.
"What on earth are those things? Why can they eat away my 'perception'?!"
