Chapter 345 "Forest of Corpses" and "Starry Moon Night"
"Bah...bah...bah..."
As he continued to advance, Lin Yi's breathing became faintly heavier, and his breath became somewhat disordered.
He sensed something and suddenly looked towards a certain location deep in the forest - he saw a tree in bloom.
The snow-white flower bones are in bud, clustered together in clusters, but they feel awkward no matter how you look at them.
He took another careful look, and was instantly horrified.
That is not a flower bone flower. It is clearly a weird skeleton flower formed by countless small skulls gathered together and placed on the treetops!
Against the backdrop of the lingering forest-white mist, the trees full of forest-white skulls seemed to come to life, whispering some strange tune through the whining wind.
When the wind blows, skulls all over the tree sway.
What is even weirder is that with the appearance of the first tree covered with big eyes and skulls, more and more similar trees began to appear in the dense forest. They were looming in the mist, abstract and evil, and exuding an evil aura.
As I walked, I saw ancient trees with twigs like this all over the mountains and plains. Some trees seemed to have arms and legs growing out. Where the leaves should have been, they became arms and legs one after another. However, their roots were still in the soil and could not be pulled out at all.
The plants on this road seem to have broken away from the restrictions of conventional "plants" and have transformed from "plants" into some kind of hybrid "animal" and "plant" life forms. However, if you look more carefully, you will find that those changes that are contrary to the normal biological map all carry a trend similar to sculpture.
Those things are like organs made out of milky white gelatin, grafted on the old tree and growing continuously.
Whether it is the eyes, hands, feet, or other trunks and organs, they all seem to be independent of each other.
"How about it, does this 'scenery' look good?" Lao Mo said calmly.
Lin Yi looked away and asked with some horror: "What are those...?"
Lao Mo said: "These things are called the "Corpse Forest"... They are one of the "research results" produced by fanatical believers. "
"Those things you see are all "spare parts", which can be used to assemble the larvae of the Raging Angel, or can be used to repair the injuries suffered on one's own body... Of course, some of them can be used directly. Replace a part of your body. "
"For example, replace the eyes, replace other parts of the body, etc..."
Lin Yi's eyes widened: "Holy crap, what kind of cyber ascension?"
Lao Mo seemed not to understand the meaning of "cyber" and had no intention of studying it. He continued: "The growth of these things is also affected by 'it', carrying the breath of 'it', which is similar to a certain passive effect of scales. It is in this way that those fanatical believers have the opportunity to pick up scales on its territory."
"I thought they were pulled out..." Lin Yi said weakly.
Lao Mo said: "'It' has long since broken away from the 'man-made' life form. It will grow and shed its skin like a snake. The scales are what it sheds, and it also contains extraordinary power far beyond the matrix."
"The reason why 'it' has its current size is because every time it sheds its skin, it becomes larger. If this was not a gap in the layers but a certain area in reality, it would have been observed long ago."
Lin Yi's mind immediately pictured a giant snake the size of a mountain appearing in the university in city S...
In front of "it", the size of the mountains was not big enough to see, and the giant gymnasium might just be the size of an "egg"...
At this time, Lao Mo asked. He said: "What time is it now?"
Lin Yi retracted his gaze and glanced at his watch: "22:34."
Lao Mo nodded: "It's almost time, be careful, there's going to be a problem on this road soon."
Lin Yi quickly concentrated his attention.
Sure enough, at 22:35, Lin Yi began to feel some unreasonable changes in the ground under his feet. The originally soft sand began to become as soft as fat, and he felt like he had lost his balance when he stepped on it.
After taking a few steps, he felt that his center of gravity had shifted to varying degrees. He swayed to the left with this step and rushed forward with that step, as if he was stepping on a water bed with extraordinary ductility.
The trees around him also began to show the kind of distortion that had only appeared in visions.
The large trees seemed to have lost their original toughness and began to sway like water plants. The whole world seemed to be imprinted on a hypergeometric body that violated the laws of geometry, and a kind of distortion occurred that was impossible to see with the naked eye.
Lin Yi looked at Lao Mo and found that Lao Mo seemed to be integrated with the environment, and he was also distorted!
"You just follow the crowd." Lao Mo's voice rang in Lin Yi's ears. Instead of helping Lin Yi, he began to teach Lin Yi.
"Focus on the road under your feet."
"Don't observe its distorted form...look for the unchanging point in its movement, reduce its distortion in your eyes, and make it appear in a relatively "normal" appearance in your perception."
Lao Mo's words made Lin Yi very confused, and even completely incomprehensible.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just follow me first." After Lao Mo said this, he slowed down, as if waiting for him.
However, the movement of stopping was still distorted and unsightly in Lin Yi's eyes.
Lin Yi then tried to take a step forward.
As soon as he stepped on it, the ground seemed to come alive and kept moving. The frequency was something he couldn't catch up with, but a golden light began to appear in his eyes.
"Higher Perception" was activated, and everything around him began to become sluggish, even the creeping movement of the earth became sluggish.
Lin Yi began to feel the changes carefully, looking for what Lao Mo called "the constant point in the movement."
Lao Mo originally wanted Lin Yi to explore slowly, but he didn't know what he sensed, so he quickly reminded him: "A line is made up of countless points, but the concept of 'point' is too subtle for me. You can enlarge the observation surface a little..."
"Imagine that you are walking on an unstable suspension bridge. Under your feet are planks that are shaking one after another. But whether it is a plank or something else, there are laws..."
"'Law'...a plank bridge?" Lin Yiwu The nature is extremely high, and it can be understood naturally, "You mean, don't be obsessed with the whole, sort out the path under your feet first?!"
Seeing Lin Yi's enlightenment, Lao Mo hurriedly said: "The waves are endless, but we only need to find one of them and follow the wave to the other shore!"
Lin Yi said excitedly: "I understand!"
"Understanding is not enough, get moving!" After Lao Mo said this, he quickened his pace, leaving plenty of room for Lin Yi to "catch up".
Lin Yi took a deep breath, no longer focusing on the seaweed-like twisted environment around him, but focused entirely on the limited space in front of him.
Walk one step away, feel the distortion within three steps, and observe the waves within ten steps.
He stumbled and walked like a toddler. His movements were very jerky, but he still kept every step within a safe range, and his progress was rapid. Within a few minutes, he could already walk smoothly on the twisted ground.
At this point, his observation distance was far enough to see Lao Mo's back.
What is interesting is that the figure of Lao Mo, who was extremely distorted in his perspective, is no longer distorted when he observes it now, and the road under his feet is not as distorted as it was at the beginning, and the feedback feeling when stepping on it has become much more "normal".
And this "normal" feeling is still becoming "more normal"...
"It's 'overwriting'!" Lin Yi suddenly understood something, "I have overwritten the abnormality of the surrounding environment into my perception of the environment! It's not that the environment has become normal, but that I have integrated into this environment!"
In Lao Mo's words, it has matched the frequency of the swaying of the wooden bridge.
“I switched myself from the original “channel”... to the same “channel” as the distorted band of this road?!”
In fact, there is no need to talk about the “channel”, this is the change in the “layer”, which penetrates from the first layer of the napkin to the second or even third layer!
After a few minutes, the road under his feet was no longer twisted at all, and Lao Mo's back became extremely normal.
Lao Mo felt the change in him and turned to look at him. A very ugly look of relief appeared on Dead Fish's face: "Yes, yes, your speed of adapting to the environment is really too fast...I kind of doubt whether you are a chameleon."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "You taught him well."
"Just give it a try, let's stop blowing each other here." Old Mo made a sign and continued, "The road you are taking now is the third stage to the Art Building."
"To be more precise, only by walking on this road can we really come into contact with...the world where the Art Building is located."
Lin Yi was startled and quickly looked at the surroundings.
"What...is this like?!"
"Take a good look, this is definitely a "scenery" that you have never seen before."
What was displayed in front of Lin Yi's eyes was really a world that he had never seen before, and that he could not even imagine.
The dense forest that originally grew around him turned into twisted and rough dark lines with green as the main color. The mist also turned into white lines. They were clustered here and there, surrounding different center points, forming spiral turbines one after another.
From a distance, this is a world full of whirlpools. It was originally just an ordinary twist, but now it has formed a whirlpool of different sizes.
Such a world, while Lin Yi was greatly shocked, he also thought of a masterpiece -
""Starry Night"? ! ”
Hearing Lin Yi’s exclamation, Lao Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: “Really?”
Lin Yi's shock could not be described in words. At this moment, he seemed to be thrown into the starry night, and the starry sky was like a whirlpool today!
"This...is this really a "starry moon night"? ! "
"Are you dreaming?" Lao Mo denied politely, "It's just a spiritual resemblance. When you observe the outside world in this layer, you will see this kind of similar picture. It's like oil paper umbrellas with different patterns. After you put them away, the textures exposed on the surface of the umbrella body are almost the same as long as the colors are similar."
"Ouch..." Lin Yiruo had some realization.
"To put it bluntly, you may see that chimpanzees all look the same, but each one is actually different. If you are not an expert, you won't be able to tell. The principles are similar."
"Oh, I understand."
In this world full of whirlpools, the road under their feet became the only straight staircase.
And this scenery is indeed very spectacular, as if the world is displayed in front of him in another form.
Lin Yi couldn't help but asked: "How did this form?"
Lao Mo shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe you can write them down and savor them later when you have time. If you can decipher the mysteries here, you may also be able to get some inspiration for deciphering "Starry Night". "
Lin Yi said in surprise: "'Some inspiration for cracking "Starry Moon Night"'? Are you talking about the "Starry Moon Night" in the art building? "
"You even know this, and you still say you're not an official?" Lao Mo smiled, "An experiential student knows some things that are 'impossible for experiential students to know'."
Then, he suddenly had an idea: "Ah, by the way, can you tell me what "Starry Moon Night" is? "
Lao Mo said: "Everyone knows that it is a painting that Van Gogh left in the art building, but everyone also knows that it is more than just a painting."
"Uh, isn't this nonsense literature...?"
Lin Yi had just complained in his heart, and Lao Mo continued: "Then by chance, some people found the law of "layer jump", which is the "landscape" you see now. "
"The first "apostle" to stabilize the layer's field of vision observed such a scene and realized that there were some similarities with "Starry Night"..."
"After a long period of exploration and intense discussion on layer transition, the "apostles" came to the most widely recognized view - that is, coordinates. "
""Coordinates"? ! Lin Yi's pupils shrank slightly.
"Well, coordinates." Lao Mo nodded and said completely, "["Starry Moon Night" is most likely a coordinate], a coordinate that can only be found when the layer jumps, a coordinate that corresponds to endless mysteries and extraordinary things! "
"So Van Gogh..."
"So Van Gogh left something somewhere in the Great Channel, left a location coordinate, and then said, "I left everything there, just go find it if you want it"?"
What the hell is OnePiece? !
Vincent D. Van Gogh? !
The words of complaint were rolling in his stomach, but in this context, Lin Yi was stunned and did not spit out a word, but continued: "So Van Gogh... left something behind?"
