Chapter 544: Asking for Silence

Mao Feiyang then curled his lips, turned around with some dissatisfaction, and walked towards the medium portal surrounded by hazy gray fog.

"Oh, right..." Mao Feiyang seemed to have suddenly thought of something, "Can you give me a little 'blessing'? Let me have a strong sense of mission?"

"..." The night watchman seemed to be at a loss. He was silent for a while before saying, "Come on... You can definitely do it."

"Oh, thanks~" Mao Feiyang smiled in a mean way and stepped into the medium portal.

“Bo…”

The portal shook, and Mao Feiyang seemed to have entered a lake, spreading ripples.

Soon, the fluctuations calmed down.

From the upper level of the bell tower, the muttering voice of Night Watchman-02 could be heard faintly: "Why would 'he' arrange such a despicable person to be the contact? Is he sure that I won't kill him?"

"Hey... you'd better arrange for someone more reliable to come and collect the balance. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless..."

……

May 023, X5, 9:20, unknown area of ​​the Art Building, "corridor".

Mao Feiyang's figure emerged from the mist, he missed a step, and then stumbled into the wall.

"Ouch..." He held onto the wall to steady himself, "Where is this..."

Lin Yi's voice rang in his mind: "It should still be in the stairwell under the clock tower..."

"Okay..." Mao Feiyang shrugged helplessly, "It seems that we can only return from this side... Don't worry, let me check the map you gave me..."

As he spoke, he sat down on the bluestone steps, resting his chin on one hand and began to think.

Lin Yi did not disturb him, but soon, the mural on the wall of the stairs behind Mao Feiyang began to move unnaturally, as if something was about to break out of it.

"Maozi, be careful." Lin Yi warned.

Mao Feiyang came to his senses in time. The cold chill behind him made him dodge subconsciously. He went down a few steps forward, then turned around and looked at the wall.

The thing crawling on the wall is an art student as gloomy as a sculpture. He once used his own life to seal the Laughing Angel in his painting, and now the Laughing Angel is about to become a dead sculpture.

He succeeded, but he himself was submerged in the power of the Laughing Angel and became the second-generation Laughing Angel who carried the power of an angel.

"Kill... kill... me..." His intermittent, hoarse voice could be faintly heard from the mural, full of pain and struggle.

"He has been contaminated..." Lin Yi sighed.

Mao Feiyang pursed his lips and said, "'Anyone who inherits the power of an angel will eventually become an angel's phantom'... The souls of those who sacrificed themselves to defeat the Angel of Smile returned as second-generation angels and became the unit he originally wanted to defeat. What a great irony and sadness this is."

"Should we give him a ride?" Lin Yi asked with some sadness.

"Of course not."

"Gah?"

Mao Feiyang refused without hesitation. His expression was completely different from when he was commemorating the victims before, which made Lin Yi stunned.

"You...are such a bitch..."

"Haha...what's there to be confused about?" Mao Feiyang was speechless. He took a deep breath and said, "I can't kill them all one by one. Besides...'The mourners...cannot save the angels'."

After Mao Feiyang finished speaking, he glanced at the struggling second-generation angel on the mural, then walked down a flight of stairs without looking back and sat down.

"Suddenly I don't think you're that mean anymore..."

Mao Feiyang curled his lips: "How can you say that about your roommate? Do you want to be 'proud of it'?"

"Tsk..." Lin Yi muttered.

Mao Feiyang sat down again, seeming to be thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about?" This time, Lin Yi raised his doubts.

"Of course, I'm thinking about how to get to 'her' room... and fulfilling the so-called agreement at the same time."

"But, judging from the 'time', you should have been the one who handled that matter, right? You don't have to tell me whether it is true or not, I already have the answer in my mind..."

"I'm just missing a breakthrough point..."

"What entry point?" Lin Yi asked, "Is it the entry point to that bedroom?"

Mao Feiyang nodded slightly: "Obviously, it requires "layer transition" to get there, but the 'map' you gave me is very intuitive... I have to find the way myself."

"Luckily I got some toys from '02', otherwise some places would have been difficult to navigate."

"Which way do you want to go?"

"It's impossible to go to those places without violating the Art Student Code, so I need some buffs."

Lin Yi held his forehead with his hand: "But where are you going to find the buff? Do you think this is a game?"

Mao Feiyang smiled mysteriously.

Lin Yi was stunned.

"Your expression... is not right, did I overlook something? Wait, could it be that... you have already obtained it, but... when did it happen?"

"Weren't you here too?" Mao Feiyang sneered, "Just now!"

"'Just now'? What do you mean...wait, you mean?" Lin Yi suddenly realized, "When you asked the night watchman for a blessing? But...how can that count? The night watchman's words didn't carry any 'effect' at all, right?"

"You can't say that... Once the words are spoken, it's no longer up to him to decide whether they are effective or not." Mao Feiyang narrowed his eyes, his face full of meaningful expression.

"You... overwrote your own cognition?" Lin Yi was shocked. "You can do this? No, you can do this? And, this is not the buff given to you by the Night Watchman, right?"

"Hehehe... just think of this as the ability of an art student!" Mao Feiyang said with a grin, "I got the 'orders of the Night Watch', the 'chicken feather arrows given by the Night Watch', and a layer of buff... As long as 'I think it's there, then it's there."

"You..." Lin Yi was dumbfounded, "Why do you give me the feeling that you are a bit like that thing..."

Lin Yi suddenly thought of a folk legend. It was raining in the deserted mountains at night. A scholar was going to take an exam. A yellow-skinned man stopped him and asked, "Sir, do you think I look like a human?"

"That's right! Ask for silence!"

"Maozi, you just acted like a yellow-skinned person who wants to be silenced!"

Mao Feiyang rolled his eyes speechlessly when he heard that: "Yellow Skin would almost laugh when he heard you say that."

"Okay, next, I will go out as a "messenger" and visit some places!"

"As the saying goes, when you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself." "When I come back, I will still be myself, still an art student... Mao Feiyang."

"In this way, there will be no 'violation of the Art Student Code'."

Mao Feiyang said with a smile, feeling a bit like "Li Feiyu who kills and sets fires, and Han Tianzun who saves people from suffering."

"You are really... a jerk..."

"But... being a slut can save my life!" Mao Feiyang stood up, patted his butt, and walked down the stairs.

Lin Yi did not answer. What Mao Feiyang said was right, and what Tian Bufan said was also right. Someone with a mean character like Maozi could indeed do well in the Art Building.

"By the way, Maozi, you were just about to tell me what's in that 'clock tower'?" Lin Yi asked quickly, not wanting Maozi to change the subject just like that.

"In the Clock Tower..." Mao Feiyang said with a smile, "Would you like to guess?"

"Have you never been beaten by me?"

"Okay, okay..." Mao Feiyang spread his hands and said directly, "The mysterious creation in the legend, the time compass "Time Zero" is in that clock tower, and this key is the key to open the door of the clock tower."

"How's it going? Are you surprised or surprised?"

Lin Yi listened, but remained silent.

"So..." After a long pause, he slowly said, "Do you have any other plans?"

"This is plan B! If we can't complete the mission under normal circumstances, then I will need to use the power of the time compass."

"Using the power of the time compass... This is such a powerful method, isn't it plan A?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, "Is it because of some sequelae?"

"This is not something you need to consider, Lao Lin." Mao Feiyang smiled and shook his head. "If you can complete the task normally, then plan B will be rotten in your stomach."

Lin Yi really wanted to know, but he also knew why Tian Bufan didn't say it, because this plan would not be used for the time being, but not being used does not mean that there is no need to prepare.

Mao Feiyang now has the start button in his hand, so that he can activate the backup hidden plan at any time.

"Then... where is that 'clock tower'? You all have the keys, so you must know where it is, right?" Lin Yi asked. For something this important, you wouldn't wait until you need it before looking for it, right?

Mao Feiyang thought for a moment and said, "Theoretically, the location of the 'clock tower' is difficult to determine, but if we get the key, it's like getting the 'clock tower'..."

"Can this thing summon a 'clock tower'?" Lin Yi was shocked. What the hell is this special summon of the Millennium Key!

Mao Feiyang said: "The clock tower is like a ship, drifting in the layers, but its anchor is near the sea. As long as I reach that area, I can use the key to find it, and then... that's it."

"A drifting ship..." Lin Yi seemed to be thinking about something. No wonder he couldn't find the clock tower after exploring the campus. The clock tower was indeed in a crack in a certain layer.

"Then...what's at the bottom of this stairwell?" Lin Yi asked.

Mao Feiyang paused as he was walking down the stairs: "Why are you asking me this question all of a sudden?"

Lin Yi said: "Because I'm a little curious..."

He paused, then added: "And...I always feel like you know."

Mao Feiyang said: "I know, and you know it too."

“Again! Help! Can you please stop telling riddles?” Lin Yi was overwhelmed.

Mao Feiyang then said, "In the 'map' you gave me, there is a very deep well... Do you remember it?"

"Is there any connection between that well and this place? You're not going to tell me that down here is that... Shit, is that true?"

"Didn't you guess it?" Mao Feiyang said, "There is a well below, so when "02" threatened me, he wanted to throw me into the well... I feel like he could really do such a thing."

"It really is that well!" Although Lin Yi had seen the ancient deep well several times in his visions, and even when he left last time, he uncontrollably received the call from the mysterious creature at the bottom of the well through the blessing of the "Ouroboros Ring", he still had a little uncertainty about "the stairwell under the bell tower is the deep well".

After all, in this area of ​​exploration, guesses alone are not enough, there must be certain evidence. Mao Feiyang's affirmation now makes Lin Yi look solemn, and he has a strong sense of oppression that "it is as expected".

"What's at the bottom of that well?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask. He once saw in a vision an iron chain growing out of his spine, with the other end of the chain extending into the well water. When he was about to leave, he seemed to hear the iron chain pulling the mysterious creature in the deep well to escape from the well.

In that vision, he seemed to have a smelly black sticky liquid flowing through his body, and the mysterious creature in the deep well was still calling out:

[…Lin Yi…you’re back…]

【I think……】

[…I’ll kill you…]

[Lin…Yi…]

[…Take…me…away…]

【Take me...away...】

Like an acquaintance.

"The corpse..." Mao Feiyang interrupted Lin Yi's thoughts, "I don't know either."

"Is there something you don't understand?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.

"Is it normal that I don't know?" Mao Feiyang couldn't help but complain in return, "Brother, can you be quiet when you're dreaming? Just be a good navigator... Let's go to that bedroom first, okay? Don't make things complicated..."

"We are right above the well now. It's like we are standing at someone's door and making trouble for them... We will really get beaten."

When the ancient deep well was mentioned, Mao Feiyang seemed to be a little restless and kept interrupting Lin Yi's little question marks.

Lin Yi stopped asking and just whispered, "We are communicating with each other through our minds, but I am still at the border of dreams... this doesn't work? That thing... is still alive?"

"At that time, the boundary between 'life' and 'death' has become blurred..." Mao Feiyang said, "Anyway, it is locked over there... It is safe if you don't know it. If you know it, then it will know you too."

“Ignorance is the best protection.”

"And what is better than deliberate ignorance is innate ignorance."

"Before you are qualified to know, just don't know... Besides, I don't know either. I only know what I told you now."

"Maybe I'll know later, but that's up to you."

"When you are qualified to protect yourself, maybe I will know what it is."

"Does your 'intensity' have such a big impact on me?" Lin Yi had a feeling that he was very important.

Mao Feiyang nodded without comment. Gou Jian said, "Who told you to be the shortest board among us?"

"Thank you so much, your affirmation makes me lose face." Lin Yi curled his lips.
