Chapter 373 Rapidly Switching Perspectives
On May 023, X5, at 10:2, in the clock tower of the Art Building, under the giant quantum bell "Sanctuary", endless air waves gushed down from the mouth of the bell, engulfing Lin Yi's body like the flames ejected by a rocket.
Under that terrifying aura, Lin Yi was left with only a charred shadow, and his body seemed to be nothing but a skeleton...

X023年，5月10日，2：23。
same moment.
Lin Yi felt that his consciousness was shattered into countless pieces. Under the impact of the "Holy Temple" air waves, the world in front of him was like the scenery he saw while sitting on a high-speed train.
He saw the super nocturnal species that were densely crawling all over the wall like creepers, as well as the evil nocturnal species in the twisted cracks and collapse of the wall. Their sticky bodies seemed to have formed insect limbs and reptile scales, but also had the teeth and eyes of wild beasts...
They crawled and jumped in this collapsed space, making sharp and piercing noises. The noises were like countless needles piercing his brain, causing his spirit to almost collapse...
He saw a deep corridor again. The end of the corridor could be seen at a glance, but now it seemed to have turned into an endless abyss. Every step forward felt like standing still, and also like suddenly crossing a long distance. The door in the distance was close at one moment, and out of reach at another, as if space was constantly folding and stretching...
He saw many things overlapping each other, and saw the cold rain pouring down, as if it had penetrated the art building and landed in a corner...
Suddenly, he saw a group of art students!
In a lecture hall that looked like an opera house, a large number of art students sat down dejectedly on the ground. Their hair was as messy as dead grass, their faces were covered with dirt and dried ketchup, their eyes were sunken in their eye sockets, and they went from tenacious struggle to emptiness and lifelessness as their lives passed away, and finally became like two dry wells...
Their lips were already cracked like stone sculptures, their bodies were still trembling slightly, their dark green robes were already tattered, and ketchup was constantly seeping out of their bodies...
In that classroom, there were "hissing" sounds everywhere. On the ceiling, walls, and ground, fragments of nocturnal species and some active super nocturnal species could be seen everywhere...
"This... this place has fallen?!" Lin Yi was shocked and heartbroken. Such scenes could be seen everywhere as the air wave pushed forward. Everywhere were artists who had been defeated, and some were still being eaten by super nocturnal species...
He also saw some art students fighting fiercely. They each held a paintbrush and used their will to paint in the void. The night-walking species swirled the gray fog around them, but they were unable to break through their copy of the space...
However, pure nocturnal species and super nocturnal species are still constantly invading the art building, and there is gray fog to replenish extraordinary power at any time. The art students are struggling to hold on but will always fall into a disadvantage.
When the air wave passed, the aggressiveness of the nocturnal species was diluted a little, and the art students were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He also saw the constantly swaying candlelight in various areas. The swaying candlelight now presented a different picture.
The candle flames swayed in the wind, but they were not about to go out. On the contrary, it was the air waves that provided them with extraordinary power!
Lin Yi seemed to understand something. Although the strong wind and heavy rain were blending together, it was not "wind and rain", but they were consuming each other? !
The rainstorm was the abnormal weather caused by the gray fog, but the strong wind——seemed to be the result of the power of the "Holy Temple" intervening in the layer? !
"'wind'?!"
“Could it be…?”
Could it be that the whistling sound in the elevator car is also a manifestation of the wind stirred up by the "temple"?
His vision was still expanding, and it did not slow down as Lin Yi's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration. He immediately saw the "obsession sculptures" hidden in some corners. Some of the obsession sculptures kept tearing apart the nocturnal species that poured in, but another part was like a giant beast that had been drained of its vitality by the years and turned into a sculpture...
In some areas of the art building, the walls are mottled and falling off, the window glass is broken, revealing endless desolation and a sense of desolation. The debris is piled up like a mountain, as if it is a corner forgotten by the world...
He saw the artwork "Born Towards Death" in the center of the lobby of the Art Building. It seemed to have remained unchanged forever, just standing there. No nocturnal species, not even super nocturnal species or laughing angels dared to approach it, as if its existence was an absolutely inviolable territory.
The horizon was once expanded...
He saw the gallery again. The artworks in the gallery were placed in a disorderly manner. There seemed to be traces of idleness on the dark brown wall somewhere, as if it was a scar left by the years. The smell of decay echoed in the gallery, and a thick gray fog filled the entire gallery. When it moved, it was like a ghost's gauze...
As soon as he saw the gallery, the sounds began to reappear in his ears.
The notes of the music box began to dance "ding ding dong dong" and the little girl sang a black nursery rhyme faintly.
[Children, play hide and seek~ hide one by one or two...]
[The small yard is a good place~ Brothers and sisters hide...]
[Dig and dig, turn and turn...]
【…】
He knew she was coming.
“Da…da…da…”
She slowly approached Lin Yi, wearing small leather boots that were covered with black, dirty mucus.
“Are you…looking…for me…?”
The little girl held "Amon's Music Box" in both hands and appeared in a dim corner. On the wall next to her hung a painting with a strong dark style. The painting showed an endless wilderness with a black sun hanging high in the black sky. There seemed to be a castle at the end of the wilderness. The boundless wilderness was filled with stone tablets...
The mist lingered on the ground, wrapping around his ankles like a spirit snake. Although he was only conscious, he felt like he was trapped here. There was a faint stench of decay around him, as if it was hiding some long-dead secret... "Paperback boy! Get out of there!"
Just as he was attracted by the little girl's nursery rhyme and was about to think "I am going to be left behind", the night watchman's voice rose several notches, from a narration-like voice to a sound wave like a bell. His vision changed strangely, and his consciousness seemed to be disturbed by a brutal force, and he was forcibly dragged away from the gallery...
"02? You saved me?" Lin Yi was surprised and happy, and breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived a disaster.
The night watchman's voice soon faded away, without any further response, and Lin Yi's vision expanded again along with the sound waves...
He saw another painting. The colors of those paintings looked particularly strange in the dim light. One of the paintings depicted a deserted cemetery with tombstones leaning all over the place. The sky was blood red and the dark clouds were like the claws of a devil. There was no one in the painting, but Lin Yi felt that he was being watched. That feeling of being watched was still moving with the movement of his consciousness. No matter where he went, he felt that he was being stared at...
The painting is surrounded by a black shadow, which seems to have life, and seems to be constantly wriggling and expanding in the mist...
He saw another winding and twisting passage. His consciousness seemed to have weight as he traveled through it. The wooden floor under his feet made a creepy "creaking" sound, as if he was moving on a rotten coffin board. Every step seemed to awaken the evil spirit sleeping underground.
There were sculptures placed on both sides of the passage. The expressions of the sculptures were distorted. Some seemed to be screaming in pain, while others seemed to be laughing hideously...
At the end of the passage, or rather the end of his vision, was a huge humanoid statue. It should have been an elegant human figure, but in this strange atmosphere, it looked like a cursed soul, with strange lines all over its body, as if it was the erosion of some evil force...
His vision was blurry yet clear. He saw the depths of an unknown place. There seemed to be a small separate room there. As soon as his consciousness moved, his vision immediately penetrated into the room...
Lin Yi was stunned as soon as he came in. This turned out to be a very warm and lovely bedroom. Compared with the gloomy and terrifying corridor outside, the environment here was simply a different world.
The whole bedroom is full of warm tones and cute decorations. The walls are painted in soft pink and sky blue, just like flowers blooming under the blue sky in spring. A small bed is placed in the center of the room. The bedspread is fluffy white and embroidered with many cute little rabbit or bear patterns.
On the chair beside the bed, a large white stuffed bear doll was placed neatly, facing the direction of the door.
However, before he could take a closer look, an indescribable sense of weirdness spread in his heart. At the same time, the voice of the night watchman sounded in his ears, a little hurried, but very soft, as if there was a thick layer of soundproof glass between them...
At the same time, he noticed a lovely photo frame on the desk in the bedroom. The photo in the frame...
It was a cartoon-like dark forest, very cute, but with an indescribable creepy feeling...
"Repeater boy!"
"Repeater boy!!"
The night watchman's voice became louder and louder, and finally pulled Lin Yi out of the bedroom when his consciousness was about to approach the desk.
When Lin Yi was pulled away, countless threads seemed to appear in his consciousness. These threads were like lotus root threads, sticking to this bedroom, as if they were deeply attracted. Even his consciousness seemed to be pulled into a long rubber-like shape...
But in the end, his consciousness was perfectly separated from this bedroom.
He tried calling the night watchman several times, but as usual, the night watchman did not respond to his calls.
His vision continued to change, and he saw a deep well, ancient and mysterious. The inside of the well was covered with slippery and cold moss, as if it was a green coat that had been deposited over the years, and it exuded a mixture of rotten and salty smells...
The well mouth extended into the endless darkness, like a greedy giant mouth of the earth. Peeping down from the well mouth, one could only see a thick darkness. The darkness seemed to have life, and seemed to be slowly wriggling, as if it could devour any living creature that approached.
From deep within the well, there came the low and continuous sound of waves, "哗——哗——", wave after wave, constantly hitting a certain stone wall of the deep well. The sound was low and suppressed, mixed with some whimpering wind sounds, like a roar, like a howl, which made his soul tremble.
A cold feedback arose in his consciousness. He could not see the sea water, but the sounds around him seemed to show everything to his perception. He found that in the deep darkness filled with fog, there seemed to be a turbid black liquid with a smell of mud and decay. It was slowly sticking to the wall of the well and moss and crawling upwards like mucus. It slowly rose along the wall of the well, leaving sticky marks on the stone, like the traces of some huge sea monster crawling past.
“Whew—Whew—Whew—”
The sound of waves continued, and in the mist, there seemed to be some sounds of clashing swords, as if something was lurking at the bottom of the well, part of it had sunk into the sea, and the other part was still in the well, rubbing its body against the inner wall of the deep well, and from time to time it made a tooth-grinding "squeaking" sound, which mixed with the wind and spread up...
He seemed to hear some kind of call, low and hoarse like a throat that hadn't drunk water for many years. As soon as he opened his mouth, he stretched out the dry voice and made a sound like the rustling sound of a rattlesnake crawling, or the sound of dead leaves swept across the concrete floor by the wind...
Just as the summons was about to reach his senses, he was pulled away again, and his vision changed once again.
This time, he saw an endless staircase with some art students moving along it. Among the countless figures rushing across the stairs, he spotted Mao Feiyang...
"Maozi!"
Lin Yi was overjoyed. Maozi had appeared in the huge gymnasium, but now he appeared here.
He observed the surrounding environment and discovered that this passage was extremely similar to the passage Maozi had taken before.
"Could this passage be the path that connects the art building and the gymnasium at the map level?"
"Is this the route that the boss mentioned to help the Art Building?"
Just when he called out Maozi, Mao Feiyang's body suddenly shook, as if he heard his voice!
Seeing Mao Feiyang's reaction, Lin Yi was overjoyed. He knew that this was the first time he heard Mao Feiyang's voice after he got lost in the school!
When he realized this, he reacted immediately. This might be one of the few moments when he could convey information to Maozi!
"You only have one or two seconds, think about what to say!" Lin Yi suddenly became anxious. At a time when his vision was unstable and could change at any time, he had to convey the most critical information to him!
