Chapter 317 "Feast" and "Guests"
Xia Lian said calmly: "This entire dome is like a boiler...Students at level one or above will capture all intruders during the gray fog invasion, and then throw them into the furnace for calcination."
"Same." Sometimes, in order to relieve the positive pressure from the angel sculptures on the gymnasium, we often guide the experimental students or first-year students who have taken refuge here to the dome to attract the angel sculptures to come here. "
"In this way, we can solve them in one go to the greatest extent possible."
“When the dome is closed, the positions of food and diners are reversed...the “pollution” carried by the angel sculptures and those intruders will be expelled from the body during calcination and become “original pollution”, and we can take the opportunity to attract the “original pollution” into the body and become our own power. "
"I said this, I don't know if you can understand it."
She was telling Li Huiyuan about her experience, but at the same time she was also popularizing science for Lin Yi.
"I seem to understand a little bit... It's like the kind in the novel, where some ancient beasts are boiled into food, and then applied externally and internally!" Lin Yidao, "In that case, they seem to be full of treasures!"
Xia Lian rolled her eyes: "The food chain is not the only one... They are food at this moment, but we are not food in their eyes at other times?"
Lin Yi was startled: "Senior Xia Lian, your sudden humor made my back feel cold..."
"Boom!"
The dome closed with a rumble. The boss and the physical education teachers hung the chains above the dome and entered the dome before the dome closed.
"Is the next step to activate the "furnace"?" Lin Yi asked expectantly.
"'Guest'? What is this?" Lin Yi asked.
"You will know soon." Xia Lian said.
"No, can't you tell me directly?" Lin Yi was speechless.
Just like Van Gogh was an art student, who dares to say that Confucius was not a sports student?
Master Zi said: A friend came from afar and divided it and ate it.
It’s like putting hospitality on a plaque in the gymnasium!
But Xia Lian shook her head.
Lin Yi probed: "Is that the real guest?"
Xia Lian nodded.
"Could it be...a chef? Being both a cook and a diner, eating while cooking?"
Xia Lian shook her head.
Lin Yi's heart trembled. He knew that he might have guessed right, but...art was born in the gym? !
Isn’t it the rule that they don’t want to go to the gym?
The stadium is a building composed of a venue and a dome. If you accidentally walk into the stadium area, please leave as soon as you realize it.
Definitely do not stay in the gymnasium area (you can confirm the area through the street light poles)]
——"Code for Art Students"
His mind immediately reflected the contents of the "Code for Art Students".
Song Rentou was thrown to the edge of the playground. It was squirming continuously at the moment. Its body was extremely injured. Its spine was almost directly broken, and the bones in its body were shattered to an unknown extent.
Even so, with the help of the gray mist in its body, its body is still recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
""Gray Mist"..." Staring at Song Rentou's figure, Lin Yi frowned slowly.
Gray mist... what on earth is going on?
What is the connection between the unit filled with gray fog and the event of "gray fog invasion"?
Before Lin Yi started to think about this problem, he felt that the ground under his feet seemed to be shaking a bit.
This slight shaking feeling is a change that is imperceptible but cannot be ignored, just like a person standing on the ground who can feel the tilt of the ground under his feet no matter what.
With Lin Yi's keen perception, such changes were magnified many times.
He felt that his body's center of gravity had shifted slightly, and the shift was irregular. It felt like he was standing on a boat, and the originally calm lake surface was blown by a gust of wind, so that the entire lake surface gently rippled.
Before he could adapt to the amplitude of the swing, he immediately discovered that gray mist began to seep out of the playground on the first floor of the dome!
Gradually, the gray fog covered the entire ground. The green grass on the playground was covered by the gray fog, and the entire land seemed to be covered in a cloud.
Indistinctly, under the gray mist, there seemed to be the sound of surging water.
Lin Yi tried to look intently, and then saw the faintly flowing water under the gray mist at the edge of the first floor of the stands.
"Water?!" He lost his voice, "How can there be water?"
He looked at Xia Lian, trying to find the answer on Xia Lian's face.
"Don't look at me, I don't know the principle." Xia Lian shrugged, "I only know that this is part of the 'process'."
"Don't worry too much. Even the first floor of the grandstand is much higher than the ground. The water cannot spread to the first floor." Lin Yi did not listen to Xia Lian's comforting words. He seemed to have thought of it and rushed to the fence on the first floor of the grandstand.
"Hey, what are you doing, are you trying to kill me?!" Xia Lian quickly caught Lin Yi with her quick eyes and hands, but when she was about to catch Lin Yi, she saw a series of blurry afterimages, and then lost Lin Yi's figure.
"That's true! Moss!"
Lin Yi murmured to himself, his eyes flickering.
"There is also moss on the walls inside the dome..."
"I just felt something was wrong. What I should have noticed just now... was ignored by me..."
"So "water" will really appear on campus!"
The moss..."
"There are too many...the moss in those places seems to be similar to the situation here!"
"When the gray fog invades, it will drag the entire campus into the "water" of a certain layer!"
“So the experience students in the stands are not simply used as bait to attract the arrival of the angel sculpture, but they are also used as a cognitive anchor to stabilize the sinking dome on the ‘campus’ layer?”
"When there is an abnormality in the layer, the scale line of the water level floats on the layer, so the campus will have "water leakage" at certain times..."
"If this conjecture is true, then "moss" will be another "coordinate" in the campus!"
At this moment, he discovered that some figures appeared under the water...
He blinked, but found that the figure under the water had disappeared again.
"Is there something under the water?" Lin Yi whispered, with some uncertainty in his tone.
"Underwater?" Li Huiyuan opened her eyes wide and kept looking at the water surface under the gray mist.
The current water surface has completely submerged the playground and is about an ankle high.
"No...did you see it wrong?" Li Huiyuan glanced at Lin Yi doubtfully.
Lin Yi was silent for a moment: "Maybe... I saw it wrong."
Before he finished speaking, there was some movement not far from the stands. Lin Yi followed the sound and found that the movement came from the safety passage.
No, not a safe passage, at least, not the safe passage they came from.
There are many safe passages inside the dome, and now there are strange noises coming from some of them.
Soon, a dark crowd poured out of the passage. Those people were wearing green school uniforms, and they were—
"Art students?!" Lin Yi exclaimed subconsciously, and not only that, he also saw the rigor and clarity in those art students, and... Mao Feiyang!
"Maozi?!"
Lin Yi was surprised and happy, and wanted to shout hello from a distance, but he soon realized that something was not right. After Maozi came out, he did not start to sit down as if he had come to the dome. Instead, he continued walking in a certain direction. After a while, everyone sat down.
"What Maozi sees over there seems to be different from what I see. He doesn't seem to be able to see me!"
"Wait!"
"Maozi and the others... weren't they walking down that staircase just now, and they were being chased by the Smiling Angel. They kept walking and walking, and finally they came to the gymnasium?"
Lin Yi felt that his mind was a little hard to turn around.
What’s going on? The art building and the gymnasium are connected?
Or should I say that the staircase looks like a "staircase" but is actually a "passage" at some level?
Hand filled with doubts, Lin Yi decided to watch patiently.
"Are they art students?" Li Huiyuan looked at Mao Zi and others with curiosity in her eyes.
Lin Yi perked up after hearing this and quickly looked around.
At this moment, except for the stands, the entire Dome has been shrouded in gray fog.
Under the gray mist, the angry angels have taken shape, but are still wrapped in their wings. Their bodies are trembling slightly, rising and falling in a very rhythmic manner, like sleeping people.
Above the gray fog, the group of pseudo-human sculptures and angry angels strung together by iron chains became violent after absorbing the gray fog. Each one struggled to break free from the shackles of the iron chains, but there were faintly floating on the cold iron chains with a metallic luster some graphic symbols that were between cuneiform writing, oracle bone inscriptions, or some kind of distorted numbers.
When such symbols appeared, the gray mist they gathered collapsed as if it had been scattered.
This kind of graphic-like text seems to be some kind of "font" with extraordinary characteristics, such as the talismans in Chinese mythology, the incantations in European magic civilization, etc., which contain an extremely special extraordinary power.
"The time has come!" The boss's cold voice echoed in the dome. She stood in a place higher than the second floor of the stands, on a protruding wall somewhere under the dome of the dome. She held an old kerosene lamp in her hand, like a stranger. The female general of the expedition, "Array up! Hold up the lantern!"
At a position about the same height as where she stood, a group of physical education teachers stood up holding old kerosene lamps, forming a circle of old kerosene lamps on top of the dome.
I don’t know why, but the way the boss turned around and opened his arms, coupled with the cold voice, gave me the feeling of a yellow-browed king shouting "Now that I have seen the future, why don’t you worship me" in Xiaoxitian? Coupled with the circle of physical education teachers carrying "magic weapons", it was a gymnasium, and it was clearly the Grand Electronic Music Temple...
Moreover, this circle of people stopped there, and for some reason, it gave Lin Yi a different kind of feeling like a forest of monuments for the dead...
The next moment, the boss and the physical education teachers all spoke slowly, and a grand and mysterious ancient syllable, like an ancient picture scroll, slowly spread out above the dome...
That voice was mixed with the rushing wind and the undulating water, as if it had been guided by them from some broken time across time and space, and slowly echoed in the dome. To Lin Yi, that voice was so strange and familiar at the same time...
All the sports students fell silent. They sat down on chairs nearby and began to listen to their voices, as if they were listening to an ancient teaching.
Gradually, Lin Yi also heard a familiar rhythm from it, which seemed to be the commandment that both the "Night Watcher" and Mu Daxian had said - the commandment from "The Iron Rules of the Night Watch":
""De jager lyset i tke blir til er"! "
【"Those who cover the fog and chase the light will eventually become phantoms"]
