Chapter 392: The Horrifying Sculpture of Obsession
Chapter 392: The Terrifying "Obsession Sculpture Corridor"
X023年5月10日,3:35,艺术楼大厅。
Lin Yi's "intrusion" originally did not cause too many waves in the depressing stagnant water, but the Smile Angel was attracted and pulled away, which made those art students who were struggling to hold on feel the pressure suddenly reduced, so some art students discovered Lin Yi's existence.
"Fuck, someone is running... naked?!"
"Why are so many smiling angels heading for him?"
"The Laughing Angel... is he into this?"
People will always focus on the most shocking scene first, or...several scenes, and the picture in front of them, obviously, not only burns the eyes, but also brings great shock to the hearts of art students.
A naked guy ran away, drawing away the hatred of all the smiling angels in the entire hall.
The artistic elements are as high as three or four stories, but the style is very crazy and broken...
If Lin Yi knew what their first reaction was, he would really want to die.
Please, there is someone to relieve your pressure in your desperate moment. Why do you care whether I am a combination of armor or a full body transformation of the little fairy?
"It's not Guo Ben..."
"His clothes...were corroded..."
"He's not an art student... He's a dormitory manager..."
"The dormitory manager doesn't have a uniform... It can't withstand the erosion of the gray fog and water vapor. It's normal..."
There was an art student with good eyesight who recognized Lin Yi's "identity" through the old kerosene lamp in his hand.
"Dorm manager...? Could he be lost?"
"Whether he's lost or not, he's trying to help us. Let's fill in some of that hole now while he's relieving us of pressure!"
On the other side, Lin Yi quickly approached the gloomy corridor. There were many corridors in the lobby of the art building, but the corridor where the "Obsession Sculpture" was located was extremely dark, as if not even the slightest light could penetrate into it.
Approaching the corridor, it was as if I had stepped half a foot into the edge of a forgotten nightmare. My sight in the darkness was pulled by a heavy feeling of oppression, and I could only barely see the outline of the human-shaped obsession sculpture at the edge of the corridor.
This was the first time that Lin Yi observed these sculptures so closely. Each of them looked like a prison shell of a soul dragged out from the depths of darkness. Its outline was vague in the faint light, as if it had been eroded by time, or distorted by some mysterious force.
It is hard to imagine how much torture and pain it took to transform from an art student to this appearance.
As Lin Yi approached, the "Obsession Sculptures" finally triggered their hunting mechanism after their "territory" was invaded. Their gray eyeballs began to roll, and two points of dim light slowly condensed, as if the nuclear power reactor of a super mecha was ignited, and finally flashed a dim golden light.
Then, there was a slight "crack" sound, as if a sign of the ice breaking, and fine cracks began to appear on the "obsession sculptures". Then, their bodies, which had been as still as dead objects, began to tremble slightly, and stone chips fell like fine sand, as if an ancient seal was peeling off.
The body of the "Obsession Sculpture" is covered with cracks, and its limbs seem to be pulled by invisible threads. It begins to move in an extremely unnatural posture, and the joints make teeth-grinding "crunching" sounds. Every movement seems to be a painful struggle against long-term confinement.
After sensing the pollution fluctuations of Lin Yi and the Laughing Angel, the nearest obsession sculptures seemed to have received some kind of call and tentatively stretched out their arms from the corridor. As they moved, the flickering candlelight seemed to be obscured by the black mist, and a huge shadow appeared.
The body of the "Obsession Sculpture" merged into the shadows, and it reached out to grab Lin Yi who was in the front.
【……fanTome……】
【fan...Tome... fRa... for...RidEn...】
【fanTome... fRa forRidEn...】
They let out low roars, as if they were souls trapped in endless darkness for countless years, praying day and night for the light to fall, but when the light really appeared, they were stung by it and dared not approach, yet wished to destroy it.
Complex, broken, crazy...
The palm of the obsession sculpture soon fell in front of Lin Yi.
When the crisis came, Lin Yi trembled with excitement, and there was a hint of madness in his eyes.
"Hehehe..." Lin Yi also let out a low laugh, with golden light floating in his eyes, but compared to the golden light of beings like the Obsession Sculpture and the Smiley Angel, the golden light in his eyes was more like a burning golden flame.
Lin Yixin moved at will, and his "super perception" was activated in real time. His perception of time suddenly became sharper, and the movements of the obsession sculpture suddenly became slow in his eyes.
He suppressed his desire to dodge until the palm of the obsession sculpture was about to touch his skin, then he burst into an instant acceleration and dodged the attack with the traditional leg technique "Asura Flash".
As soon as he dodged, the one who suffered was naturally the Laughing Angel.
The Smiley Angel was completely focused on Lin Yi, and was grabbed by the Obsession Sculpture...
But Lin Yi soon discovered that although the obsession sculpture could restrain the Laughing Angel, it was like a Venus flytrap and needed to digest one before dealing with the next.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth, feeling that this obsession sculpture was somewhat different from what he had imagined!
The scene he imagined should be that he was pulling the Laughing Angel to the corridor entrance, and then the Obsession Sculpture would frantically hunt down the Laughing Angel, but the actual scene was quite different...
He thought that the obsession sculpture's fight against the Laughing Angel was Plants vs. Zombies, but the real situation turned out to be Zuma.
"No, we need to make more obsession sculptures move!"
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
3: 36.
He thought quickly in his mind.
"There's only one corridor left after leaving the art building. There's an old kerosene lamp so I don't have to spend too much time..."
"The duct effect of the corridor is not obvious in that corridor, and there is almost no impact after leaving it. Only the stone bridge is left..." When he came, he did not encounter any difficulties on the stone bridge.
"If I rush out the door, I can reach the elevator shaft in less than ten minutes. To be on the safe side, I'll reserve half of that time to deal with emergencies..."
"It's 3:36 now. I can't stay until 3:45 at most. I can't delay any longer!"
If you are able to help others, you can do so, but the prerequisite is that it does not affect yourself.
In order to help Maozi, he put himself in danger. Isn't that robbing Peter to pay Paul? In this regard, Lin Yi's reason prevailed.
9 minutes is the deadline he gave himself, and also the time he left for the Obsession Sculpture to fight.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the gallery.
As soon as he entered the corridor, darkness engulfed Lin Yi like a tide, and the sculptures curled up with obsessions began to come alive one after another.
The dust on their bodies rustled off and filled the air, choking Lin Yi so much that he had to cover his nose while walking.
Their bodies also began to slowly stretch, their spines straightened one by one, making a series of dull "creaky" sounds, as if bones that had not been moved for a long time were re-adapting to movement.
As Lin Yi continued to run deeper into the corridor, everything around him began to become stagnant, as if he was moving through a quagmire. There seemed to be an invisible force in the air preventing him from going any deeper.
Lin Yi felt uneasy. He looked down at his watch and found that the speed of time had indeed changed.
"There is a problem with the time and space deep in the corridor... As expected! We can't go any deeper!"
The space ahead looked extremely strange in the dark space filled with fog, and the architectural layers that had begun to take shape in geometric structures also became slightly distorted.
In the depths of that distorted vision, the appearance of the obsession sculptures was very different from that at the entrance of the corridor. They emitted one dry and hoarse roar after another. The sound seemed to come from an endless abyss, echoing in the corridor and making people's eardrums hurt.
Other obsession sculptures also responded. For a moment, all kinds of strange sounds intertwined together, including sharp whistles and low roars, like a symphony from hell.
Their bodies are constantly changing as they move. The stone texture on their bodies seems to have turned into flowing muscles, and the originally rough surface has become smooth and full of vitality.
Those cracks on their bodies seemed to have turned into strange secret patterns, as if they were burning.
Their eyes were gleaming with burning hatred, staring intently ahead, like a group of demons emerging from the darkness in the dim corridor...
Going deeper, the corridor has completely lost its geometric shape. The distribution is like a broken lamp, or like the world where the clock tower is located. All the fragments that make up the corridor are there, but each piece is relatively independent, like one mirror world after another.
Outside each mirror world, there are varying numbers of obsession sculptures.
These obsession sculptures are petrified in all kinds of strange postures. Some have their arms stretched out as if they are desperately praying for something, some have their fingers bent exaggeratedly as if they are trying to grasp the non-existent salvation, and some are hunched over with their heads buried deep between their knees, their entire bodies curled up into a ball, exuding a loneliness and sadness that goes deep into their bones...
There was a decayed smell in that corridor world, like the smell escaping from an ancient tomb after it was opened.
In the light and shadow, the sculpture's facial expression looks even more weird. The deep eye sockets are like endless black holes. No matter from which angle you look at it, it feels like there are a pair of eyes staring coldly at the intruder. The corners of their mouths are slightly raised, outlining an arc that seems to be smiling but not smiling, revealing an indescribable gloom. Some of them are drooping down, as if they are crying silently, and the pain seems to be able to penetrate the air and seep into the human soul.
Lin Yi's intuition told him that these obsession sculptures were no longer ordinary works of art. The evil aura they exuded and the details on the sculptures were chilling.
Some of the obsession sculptures are covered with cracks, as if they were broken after suffering great pain.
Countless unknown secrets seemed to be hidden beneath those cracks. Some sculptures had strange patterns on their surfaces, like ancient runes or traces of insects. Seeing them reminded Lin Yi of some evil rituals in ancient times and the cursed tragic fate behind the rituals.
"Those obsession sculptures... Could they be transformed by 'fanatics'?!"
When this thought appeared in Lin Yi's mind, a strange and chilly wind suddenly blew through the corridor world, and all the fragments of the mirror world made a humming sound, as if the human-shaped sculptures were whimpering and howling collectively.
The sound of the wind shuttled between the obsession sculptures, causing their shadows to sway on the walls as if they were performing a strange dance.
Each obsession sculpture is like a resentful soul imprisoned, waiting for liberation or revenge in this dark corridor. And everyone who steps into this place is like accidentally entering a nightmare of death and despair, tightly entangled by the endless weird atmosphere, unable to escape...
Lin Yi's reason told him that it was time to leave, he had to leave.
But an infinite, bold, and extremely blasphemous delusion grew in his mind. His eyes narrowed, and a burning golden flame rose in his eyes.
The next moment, his field of vision actually extended for a moment, and then he seemed to penetrate the vortex deep in the space, crossing an indescribable dimension, and saw another strange world full of absurdity and mystery deep in the corridor world.
It was a world he had never seen before, a world that even his imagination could not fully fill. The dark corridors were twisted into rough lines. Unknown light sources appeared in that field of vision and turned into white lines, forming an endless spiral turbine.
"Why does that vortex look so much like a part of 'Starry Night'?!"
"The obsession sculptures are not just living here, they seem to be guarding something!"
Lin Yi was horrified, and many guesses emerged in his mind, but at this moment he really didn't have time to think carefully. He quickly used his remaining sanity to turn his sight, then withdrew from the field of vision, and immediately turned around and rushed out of the corridor.
He seemed to have seen a corner of a world or dimension that he shouldn't have seen, a scene that could not be imagined even in an endless and eternal dream.
He knew he couldn't look any longer; a single glimpse would be the greatest blasphemy he could commit.
He dodged and moved swiftly, constantly avoiding the attacks of the obsession sculpture, like a monk passing the Eighteen Bronze Men Lane in Shaolin Temple, and constantly guided the Laughing Angel to crash into the hands of the obsession sculpture and die.
The obsession sculptures took stiff and heavy steps, and the stone slabs under their feet made a thudding sound. Every step was like the hitting of a heavy hammer. Although their movements were mechanical and slow, they carried an indescribable purpose and causal nature, and they were always able to accurately hit the Laughing Angel and kill it.
There is a deep meaning behind this, but Lin Yi has no time to explore it, so he can only turn around and rush out of the corridor first.
But when he turned around, he found that there were still a large number of smiling angels echoing in the corridor. Although the obsession sculptures in front had been assigned to the smiling angels, there were still many smiling angels rushing towards him one after another.
