Chapter 354 Flesh Mural "Obsession Sculpture" (Add 2000 words)
The strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of rust stains filled the strong wind. With the blood mist floating everywhere, it seemed to give the lights in the hall a terrifying blood color.
Seeing Lin Yi's reaction, Lao Mo knew that Lin Yi was really good at everything, and he immediately pulled his vision layer to the most realistic side of the hall of the art building.
He nodded slightly and commented: "It seems that you have a self-protective covering layer on your body... so at any time, you will first see the picture that you think "should be", and then you will find the picture that "should be". "
"It's like...a gradual process of "adaptation"...it's really magical."
"'Adaptation'?"
Almost everyone Lin Yi met would say the word "adapt" after learning about his situation, making Lin Yi seem to have a label similar to "Batman's super power is having money."
《What superpowers do you have? 》
《I can adapt to many environments...》
Is Darwin the mutant?
Lin Yi had no intention of complaining more because he had found the source of the strong wind - a hole above the dome!
Above the dome of the hall, there is a glass painting made up of countless stained glass windows. This glass painting is very similar to the glass paintings that tell religious secrets in every church. But now, the glass window is broken, and it is full of cracks as if it has been beaten by something terrifying.
It was missing a corner, as if it had been damaged in that whipping. The fierce wind and heavy rain poured into the hall through that flaw. After the rainwater entered the hall, it was quickly shattered by the strong wind, mixed with the blood, and formed the current blood mist.
On the walls around the hall, the murals that seemed to depict some kind of believers and legends of gods, but a mysterious brilliance faintly emerged in the blood mist. Some extraordinary power with a mysterious atmosphere permeated from those complex and broken graphic symbols, guarding the hall of the art building like water waves, preventing The penetration of the blood mist into the mural... "The mural...?" The moment he looked at the wall, Lin Yi's heart was severely affected - in his distorted perspective, the mural was also squirming slightly, and the thing that made up the lines in the mural was none other than... the body?
To put it more strictly and horribly, it is the human body. Each body seems to be inlaid into the wall, and the lines of the limbs faintly outline the traces of the murals. They seem to be integrated with the art building, and their bodies have grown into the wall rocks, and then maintained a strange and evil way, growing slowly.
Everything about them seems to be integrated with the art building.
「他们……那些人究竟是什么东西？怎么看上去……竟然透着一种异形雕塑、亡者碑林的味道？可那种气息……却又并不邪恶？」
「艺术楼大厅里的壁画阻挡着血雾的渗透，莫非就跟他们有关？可……可他们到底是什么情况？」
In the hall below the mural, there are many art students wearing dark green loose cloaks. They hold paintbrushes and are spread out in the hall without any formation. They don’t know what they are doing.
Their hands were raised, like scholars holding pens who didn’t know what to write, but there was no drawing board in front of them.
All the art students were frozen over there, as if they had been cast into static sculptures after being cursed by some kind of vicious force. Green aura was constantly coming out of their bodies, and with the emergence of the green aura, some blood mist also floated out of their bodies as if annihilated - all the blood mist came from the bodies of the art students!
"They...what happened to them?" I don't know why, when Lin Yi saw such a scene, he felt an indescribable feeling of sadness in his heart. This was an emotion he sensed through "perception".
Lao Mo sighed, and then said: "They are preventing the wounds in the hall from expanding."
He pointed to the hole in the dome glass.
Lin Yi was shocked: "'Prevent expansion'? Is it impossible to repair it?"
Lao Mo explained: "The Art Building is not built by conventional construction methods, and repairs cannot be repaired by conventional methods...Only architects have the ability to build at the map level, but for some reasons, the officials no longer focus on cultivating architects...Although the Art Building is still trying to cultivate architects, in fact, it has been a long time since such talents were born, and even some "architectural" talents have not appeared..."
"Old Mo, you know so much about the art department?"
"The big golden retriever told me." Lao Mo said calmly, and then added, "The holes you see are just what appears on the surface. They are holes on the layer level, but they were eventually folded to the extent that you can observe."
Lin Yi immediately thought of the "city wall form" of the gymnasium. Cracks at the layer level would be extremely difficult to repair. If the art building was like that, then it would be completely understandable.
What Lin Yi didn't expect was that the art student was actually related to the architect.
“Lao Mo, art students can become architects, I mean... Is there a way for art students to become so-called ‘architects’, just like the way dormitory masters turn into laughing angels?”
‘Path "?" Lao Mo was stunned for a moment, "It's an interesting statement. You can understand it that way...but in fact, 'architect' is not a fixed profession. Anyone who has that ability is an architect and does not need to be recognized by others or the government."
"The painting ability learned by art students is related to the "design profession" that must be mastered in architecture. Only by mastering the ability to "expand design drawings" can one further start the construction project from "paper" to "reality"."
"Unfortunately, the consumption of "spiritual will" and one's own "extraordinary power" is often far beyond the limit that the body can bear... All of them together can only barely prevent the destruction of the art building by the gray fog."
"Follow me... we'll go to the bell tower to find Mu Daxian. That kid is used to doing random things, I'm really afraid he'll get lost in his mischief."
Lao Mo's eyes retracted from these art students, and then he took a step forward, leading Lin Yi into the hall of the art building, and began to walk slowly through the hall.
"Don't touch them. They are now a whole, just like a living "matrix". If you, a nuclear power plant physique like yours, accidentally inject power into them that you shouldn't, it may make the situation develop in an uncontrollable direction."
Lin Yi felt a shiver in his heart and quickly and carefully avoided the art students.
But as he continued to move in the hall, he began to find that the blood mist was not simple. It did not look like it was formed after blood seeped out of the body, but more like the art student's body was undergoing a change similar to annihilation.
This change is very similar to the way the angry angel looked when he was decomposed by an old kerosene lamp in "The Feast".
"Old Mo, I seem to see their bodies decomposing. Will they... die?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Not for the time being." Lao Mo said, "This is an 'interaction' process. Their bodies are constantly being replaced with extraordinary power, which is an effective gain within a certain range."
Slowly walking through, Lin Yi began to feel the surrounding environment exerting a subtle pull on him. This feeling was completely different from the strong wind blowing on his body.
Compared to the wind, it was more like countless threads adhering to his skin, pulling him in a certain direction.
This feeling didn't feel like much at first, but gradually, goose bumps appeared on his skin, and he began to feel a strong discomfort.
Gradually, he found that some blood mist began to emerge from his body. The blood seemed to seep out of his pores, being shattered by the strong wind and blending into the environment.
"Old Mo, look at my hands!" Lin Yi looked at his hands in horror. He saw that the skin on his hands was shattered like dry grass ash, turning into white powder particles that were annihilated in the wind.
Lao Mo glanced at Lin Yi and turned his attention to the front: "Have you already started to forcibly commandeer the extraordinary powers of everyone who stepped into the lobby of the art building... It seems they can't hold on for long."
"Forcibly requisitioned?" Lin Yi's face was a little ugly, and he thought to himself that damn power banks are everywhere everywhere. After charging Lao Mo, the art building automatically inserted his backhand into the USB port?
You have to pay for the bus after all...
Lin Yi quickly quickened his pace. It was not because he was selfish, but because he himself was also a mud Buddha crossing the river. The so-called poverty means living alone. To be kind at this time is to be irresponsible for your own life.
Just as he quickened his pace, he suddenly discovered from the corner of his eye that in the dark and cramped corners that were almost ignored around the hall, there were actually sculptures with different expressions and shapes hidden one after another.
These sculptures are like living people huddled in the corner, maintaining a sneaky attitude of peeping out from the darkness, with dark, stone-carved eyes filled with longing.
They greedily sucked the blood mist, as if it was the most delicious thing in the world, and they looked at the broken hole from time to time, as if the world outside the hole was the place they longed for.
Some of them stared intently at the art students in the hall, their eyes filled with pity, sympathy, greed, killing, hatred...all kinds of complex and contradictory emotions.
There are others who are looking at the center of the hall, where the most perfect work of art in the art building, "Born to Death", is located.
There is another part, when Lin Yi noticed them, they all seemed to have some kind of reaction and turned to look at Lin Yi.
「They...?!」
When seeing these sculptures, Lin Yi's first feeling was one of terror. The terrifying feeling of being peeked at by the cold sculptures hiding in the dark can penetrate people's spiritual defenses at any time, but he soon got a shudder!
"Wait...this feeling?!"
He suddenly thought that this feeling of peeping was exactly what he felt when he walked in the corridor!
Yes! That sense of voyeurism!
· They made no secret of their desire for Lin Yi, as if Lin Yi was a moving cake, and the "aroma" it exuded stimulated them all the time...
· "This is the kind of special sculpture that Lao Mo said!"
· "They... want to eat me?"
But it seems that not all sculptures give him that feeling, which is really strange.
While Lin Yi moved with Lao Mo, he devoted part of his attention to observing them from time to time. Lao Mo noticed Lin Yi's behavior, but did not stop him or remind him of anything.
It wasn't until they came to the "Living toward Death" in the center of the art building hall that Lao Mo slowly spoke: "Those sculptures...do you know what they are?"
"Hmm?" Lin Yi was taken over by Lin Yi. This unprovoked question confused him, and he couldn't understand the meaning of Lao Mo's words for a while, but he knew that Lao Mo would not speak for no reason, so before answering, he thought for a moment, and then said tentatively, "Is it... related to the art student?"
Lao Mo said something shocking: "You just asked, will the art students here die? They are the answer you want."
"What?!!!"
Lao Mo said calmly: "Here, in this hall, all the art students you see now may become one of them..."
“Normally, the relationship between extraordinary power and art students is equivalent to the relationship between trace elements and the human body. When excess extraordinary power begins to wash their bodies, their bodies will begin to undergo irreversible changes, and eventually become that kind of... sculpture-like monsters.”
“Then they...are they still considered “art students”? "
"No more." Lao Mo shook his head, "They are not even people anymore, nor are they sculptures, nocturnal species, or even fanatical believers... They are "victims" with strong obsessions. You can think of them as a kind of "obsession body", or to use another definition... "obsession sculptures." "
“‘Obsession Sculpture’?!” Lin Yi murmured to himself, an emotion called sadness gradually spreading in his heart, “Fighting for the art building, and finally dying like this?”
Lao Mo was silent for a moment: "We will remember their sacrifice and continue to fight."
"Their behavior is driven by "obsession", and until the moment the body dies, they are also thinking about repairing the hole. "
"They may still remember why they exist, but they only exist for this obsession..."
"The reason why you feel being spied on is because the extraordinary power in your body has attracted their attention..."
"Their obsession prompts them to constantly pursue and devour more powerful extraordinary powers, and then use them to repair the hole. ..."
ˆ "They are dead, but their obsession is more firm and pure than their will..."
ˆ "I cannot describe them in terms of right and wrong, good and evil... because their obsession has surpassed "reason". As long as the units carrying extraordinary power are targeted by them, they will kill them at all costs - even their former art students and classmates. "
“If you have the same goal as them, then they will not hurt you, but if not, then they will attack you if they have the opportunity.”
Lin Yi did not speak, but the emotions in his heart became more and more complicated. He didn’t know what to say. Maybe he could not accept the ending of the art student, or maybe he had some reverence because of it, or maybe he felt some other sadness and seemingly unavoidable tragedy from here.
Lao Mo said slowly: "I remember that there are some rules in the art building similar to 'Don't walk around in the art building'. One of the purposes of these rules is to prevent art students from being killed by the 'Obsession Sculpture'..."
"The existence of the Obsession Sculptures has actually become the "defense" of the Art Building to a certain extent. They will not leave the scope of the Art Building lobby, but anything close to here will be killed by them as long as it appears within the range they can reach, especially the Laughing Angel."
Lin Yi seemed to have something in mind: "They are to the Art Building Hall what the 'Shadow of the Root' is to the campus?" "
From Lin Yi's point of view, "Obsession Sculpture" and "Shadow of Roots" are special units that exist based on a certain behavioral standard. Compared with NPCs on the map, they are more like big BOSS in the restricted area.
· You have the possibility to interact with NPCs, such as security guards, but the BOSS only cares about whether you have hatred or not. If you attract their hatred, you will be attacked by them...
However, within the scope of S City University, whether it is NPC or BOSS, the combat power is a mystery.
Alright, strictly speaking, the combat prowess of some people in S city university is a mystery, such as the boss, Mu Daxian, and... Lao Mo in front of me.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly thought, is this the reason why the security guards did not enter the art building?
The king does not see the king. The two talents are basically fighting against the gray fog or the units in the gray fog. What should they do if they collide with each other and fight?
The "Obsession Sculpture" is uncontrollable. Are the security guards also uncontrollable?
Controlling one variable is enough to avoid these "internal frictions", right?
Lao Mo patted Lin Yi on the shoulder: "Don't be sad, kid, being indecisive here will cost you your life. Remember this road and the 'pits' on the road. When you turn around and run for your life, don't step on the pits."
"You have time to be sad now, so why not be more mindful? Don't wait until you turn around and step on the trap and be chased by the "Obsession Sculpture", and then start to regret that you are only focusing on the sadness of spring and autumn instead of learning more knowledge. "
"Hmm..." Lin Yi pursed his lips and nodded. He did have an inappropriate feeling of compassion, because no matter who faced the deception of the victim, he couldn't deal with it indifferently...
But when he mentioned the victim, he immediately thought of something and couldn't help but look at Lao Mo.
As the last drop of blood in the canteen, Lao Mo also fought continuously with some kind of "obsession", right?
He said that the "obsession sculpture" is a kind of "fortification", seems to be talking about himself?
But Lao Mo's changes are obviously fundamentally different from his "obsession sculpture". The biggest difference is that Lao Mo has the characteristics of a "human".
"Let's go... don't be in a daze." Lao Mo urged, "There are still big problems ahead."
Lin Yi followed quickly, not forgetting to carefully avoid the art students in the process, so as not to accidentally affect their "battle".
Lao Mo started to lead him to walk close to the edge of the wall. As soon as he got close to the wall, the countless squirming flesh on the wall began to impact his vision again, giving him some inner discomfort.
Even some arms were stretched out to try to reach Lin Yi's limbs, and they made some obscure calls that Lin Yi couldn't understand.
"They...could they also be transformed from 'art students'?" Lin Yi had a terrifying thought in his heart, but seeing that Lao Momo remained silent, he did not ask the question.
Some absurd ideas gradually emerged in his mind. When he was in the gymnasium, he didn't think there was any problem with the physical education department and the art department, but now, it seems that all the members of the art department are "consumables"...
Lin Yi tried his best to avoid observing them, but in the end he couldn't avoid it, so he could only grit his teeth and think about one topic: "Old Mo... I have a question, can the "Obsession Sculpture" really fight against the Laughing Angel? "
"Yes." Lao Mo affirmed, "In addition to pollution crushing, the most effective way to deal with magic is to use magic." "
"Their penetrating power is similar to that of the Laughing Angel. The two can fight each other. This is why art students only need to escape back to the art building when they are in danger, because the art building not only has art teachers, but also "obsessive sculptures". "
Lin Yi suddenly understood: "I understand, so when you encounter the Smiling Angel, you can actually look for the "Obsession Sculpture". The reason why the Art Student Code stipulates that you should find the "Night Watcher" instead of the "Obsession Sculpture" is because the "Obsession Sculpture" has a BOSS attribute. If you are unlucky, you will also have to deal with the Art Student when you deal with the Smiling Angel. ”
Lao Mo nodded. He was about to say that your analysis makes sense, but for some reason, he always felt that Lin Yi had a strange feeling when he said this. After thinking about it, he realized - No, when did Lin Yi read the Code of Art Students?
His head froze in mid-nod, looking a bit weird.
He stared at Lin Yi for a while, and then suddenly wiped the sweat silently in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh.
Forget it, it’s not important...
It’s already a nuclear power plant with a nuclear leak anyway, so there’s no point in discussing the amount of leakage.
