Chapter 358 That is "Angel" (1000 words added)
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
With the restart of his heart and the establishment of his cognition, the "established fact" that all the bones in his body were crushed was also overwritten by him. He got up from the ground intact, and then quickly looked for Lao Mo's figure.
"I am in the gallery! I am by Lao Mo's side! I am in the gallery, Lao Mo is by my side!"
"I am in the gallery! I am in the gallery..."
He kept in mind Lao Mo's instructions to him, and did not use identity anchors to position himself. He only used the most basic anchoring method - anchoring himself with Lao Mo's position.
This is an extremely unreasonable anchoring method, because the more disconnected the layer from reality, the more difficult it is to anchor back, and the more conditions are required. It is simply unrealistic to only use "Gallery" and "Lao Mo".
But what if Lao Mo himself is also trying to attract him?
Two-way anchoring is as indestructible as an iron chain.
Lin Yi soon saw the shadow of Lao Mo in the gray mist not far ahead.
"Old Mo..." he called out with difficulty.
The figure of Lao Mo broke through the gray fog and came to Lin Yi.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
The dry and hoarse voice is as reassuring as a needle in the sea.
He stretched out his hand to the staggering Lin Yi, which gave people a sense of trance with a white beard. I was really afraid that his next words would be "Be my son."
Lin Yi was pulled up by Lao Mo to stabilize his body, and he quickly said: "Old Mo, I..."
"I know." Lao Mo seemed to be very afraid of this, and quickly interrupted, " Don't linger, leave first." Lin Yi naturally knew how serious the problem was, so he quickly followed Lao Mo toward the depths of the gallery, but when he left, he found that the little girl had already disappeared.
But despite this, he could still faintly hear the beating sound of the music box notes and the black nursery rhyme sung by the little girl.
【Children, hide and seek...】
… 【Brother, brother, you are so bad~ I'm joking about my sister's dull saw~】
【……】
He stroked his arm, quickened his pace and left here.
In the dark corner of the gallery, a music box with its lid opened was running slowly, and the gray mist rolled in, completely burying it.
…
X May 10, 2023, 0:16, Art Building Gallery.
ttle
There is almost no light in the depths of the gallery, leaving only the dull sound of a series of shoes stepping on the wooden floor, and the sound of "creak" from time to time.
While passing through the gallery, Lin Yi saw another huge painting, which showed a deserted cemetery, with crooked tombstones, and the sky was covered by dark clouds. In front of the painting, the fog became thicker, forming the outline of a human figure, standing there quietly, as if waiting for something.
When Lin Yi approached, the outline suddenly disappeared, leaving only endless darkness and cold, which made people tremble.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Lin Yi felt vaguely that there was some more water vapor in the air, and the gray fog was not so dense, as if it was dispersed by this water vapor.
哐哐哐!
At the end of the gallery, there was a rapid knock on the door, as if something was violently knocking on the door.
Lao Mo rushed over and opened the door.
The huge storm pushed open the ancient and rusty iron door, and the majestic water mist poured into the gallery along with the violent storm.
The end of the gallery was crumbling, like a fishing boat being jacked up by a monster. Water vapor poured in, almost washing Lin Yidu away.
The wind duct effect is pushed to the extreme here, and the sound of waves hitting the reef is as violent as a flash flood.
Countless palms with sharp nails came in at that moment and clawed hard at Lao Mo and Lin Yi.
Lao Mo roared and slashed with the butcher knife.
I don’t know what Lao Mo did, but countless pieces of limbs were filled with a smelly sludge-like substance, and they fell on Lin Yi’s body like dumping garbage. The disgusting smell was nauseating, as if they were dancing with large pieces of flesh in the minced meat.
Suddenly, a burst of thunder tore through the night sky, and the whole world became pale, and Lin Yi also saw a scene that made his scalp numb.
The minced meat was exactly what he had guessed. It was indeed what the nocturnal seeds looked like after being chopped into pieces. They were washed on his body by the violent storm, and they were as disgusting as rotten eggs and pickle leaves soaked in swill.
The only thing that makes sense is that these fragments are petrifying into sculpture fragments at an extremely fast speed. Even the ones on Lin Yi's body are quickly turned into dried powder.
Thunder continued, and the picture in front of Lin Yi switched back and forth between dim black and pure white. The moment he walked out of the gallery, a thick thunder and lightning tore through the dark night sky, showing the extremely terrifying scene in the art building.
I saw that the outer wall of the art building was covered with densely packed nocturnal species. The dense number was like a swarm of red crabs on the beach. The heads were constantly moving, as distinct as each grain of pulp on a mulberry. Their limbs were also swinging, twisting and twisting, and they made sounds like bubbles like crabs.
But there are so many of them and they are so dense that it’s impossible to tell which head belongs to whom and which arm belongs to whom—even they themselves can’t tell.
They were pushing each other, constantly looking for holes or cracks in the walls of any art building, and then frantically drilling in. When a door opened on their side, the nearby nocturnal species swarmed over.
Lao Mo let out a low roar, while opening up the field, constantly squeezing out all the nocturnal species that came in, and at the same time, he waved the butcher's knife to chop up the nocturnal species squeezed into the field like leeks.
「Boy! Close the door!! Close the door!!!」
Old Mo Teng couldn't do anything, so Lin Yi hurriedly carried the broken pieces of the night crawler to pull the heavy iron door.
Under the influence of the air duct effect, the already heavy iron door seemed to be welded in the open state, and no matter how Lin Yi moved, he could not pull it open.
More than Captain Pretty Butt...
The thick iron door made a harsh sound, as if it was a tug-of-war with Lin Yi. Lin Yi gritted his teeth until his back molars were almost broken, and then he pulled the iron door heavily and closed it.
It is too weird to say that the moment the iron door is closed, the entire door and wall seem to be integrated into one, giving people a feeling of impregnability. It is clear that the door is over there but no one can open it.
The moment the door closed, the recoil was transmitted and Lin Yi jumped away a little.
Lin Yi briefly lost his center of gravity and rolled several times against the ground. When he got up, he happened to see through the terrifying storm that there was a broken observation tower outside the outer wall of the art building!
At the end of the lookout is the cliff!
And the end of the cliff is——
"Night Watch"! !
At the end of the cliff, under the storm, the black iron tower-like figure, holding an ancient blue lantern, stood there like a natural moat.
"That's... a tsunami?!"
In front of the night watchman, there was an endless tsunami that almost covered the sky.
It's just that the current tsunami is still there as if frozen in time.
The hugeness of the tsunami cannot be described in words. It was like overturning the entire ocean, lifting it from one end of the horizon and building towards the art building!
The height of the waves alone is higher than the sword-like towering art building plus the cliff!
It turns out that the sense of sight of a fishing boat on the sea is not an illusion. The entire ocean has been lifted up, and the art building is as small as duckweed!
And in that tsunami, there are endless nocturnal species. Those nocturnal species are as numerous as flooding locusts and returning schools of fish. They merge with the tsunami and descend on the coastline in an almost annihilating manner!
In the depths of the tsunami, behind the nocturnal species, there seemed to be a huge black shadow. The black shadow was unknown how long it was. The blurry outline alone was enough to make those with deep sea phobia faint.
"Then...what's in that?!" Lin Yi was shocked, and his soul seemed to be attracted by a tsunami.
At the moment when Lin Yi was attracted by the tsunami and in a daze, a large number of nocturnal species rushed towards Lin Yi like piranhas smelling blood.
However, before they arrived, Lao Mo's territory fell.
The nocturnal species were scattered in all directions by the fluctuations in the field, and the nocturnal species shrouded in it withered on the spot.
"Tsunami is just a kind of "cognition"! What you see is already filtered by layers! Don't worry about it, it is not something we can deal with!"
Lao Mo woke up Lin Yi with a roar. The storm and thunder almost drowned their voices. Even if they shouted loudly, they could only achieve effective communication.
Lao Mo slashed the butcher knife into the air hard, and the arc formed by the air wave split a crack in the storm. Just when Lin Yi was still confused, his roar drowned out the thunder.
Before he finished speaking, a huge searchlight penetrated the storm like a sharp sword, accurately covering them inside.
At another observation tower shrouded in wind and rain under the storm, the art teacher "Big Golden Retriever" held on to the huge searchlight and looked at the torn The rain curtain recovered immediately, and he grinned: "The wind and rain are too heavy, and it's really hard to find without a signal... I have to help Lao Mo, and I will leave it to you for the time being."
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures appeared beside him. It turned out that he was not the only art teacher on the observation deck, but they seemed to perform their own duties and complement each other in this storm.
If you look carefully, you will find that the observation tower is surrounded by dozens of mysterious creatures similar to laughing angels.
The reason why they are similar is that they only have some of the characteristics of the laughing angels, and more of them are non-human characteristics. For example, the bottom of Nahimachun’s skirt is not legs, but a gas-like tail like a genie in a magic lantern...
They hover around the observation tower, launching an attack on the art teachers from time to time, as if they want to destroy the observation tower.
Art teacher "Big Golden Retriever" no longer pays attention to these smiling angels, but concentrates on operating the searchlight, guiding the landing point of the beam to move slowly along the outer wall of the art building.
As the searchlight moved, the nocturnal species entrenched on the outer wall of the art building screamed in terror and scattered around, as if they were very afraid of being swept by the beam.
With the illumination of the light, the exterior wall of the art building came to life as if it had been enchanted. Some strange changes occurred on the surface of the wall, like ripples, and all these ripple changes eventually converged towards a certain position - another heavy iron door on the outer wall.
In the end, the light stopped moving, as if it was being sucked tightly. Lao Mo suddenly understood and rushed over with Lin Yi.
Open the door, enter, close the door.
It is all done in one go.
Watching Lao Mo disappear behind the iron gate, the art teacher "Big Golden Retriever" silently withdrew the searchlight beam.
"Come on, Lao Mo..."
"I hope there will be a day when I see you again..."
…
X. May 10, 2023, 0:25, in the art building area, in a certain passage.
Lao Mo leaned against the iron door of the passage and slowly regained his strength. Although the people around him were full of nocturnal species who rushed in when the iron door opened, he looked completely unconcerned.
His domain was slowly released until all the nocturnal species around him turned into powder, and then he canceled it.
"It's a little safer." Lao Mo picked up a fragment of the petrified nocturnal species and used it as a rag to wipe the butcher's knife before it was completely annihilated. "Since it is the road guided by the big golden retriever, we should not go wrong. If we follow this road, we will reach the bell tower soon."
As if he had thought of something, Lao Mo added: "Don't worry, there are a lot of smiling angels behind you, I will definitely help you get one with a lamp."
Lin Yi did not expect that Lao Mo would Mo Mo didn't forget to remind him of this, so he smiled bitterly and said: "I'm actually not worried about that..."
He was worried about too many things now, such as the gallery. With his strength, could he really finish it by himself?
At the beginning, Lao Mo said "return the same way" in an understatement. After experiencing these things and realizing it, he suddenly felt so pale and weak... "Tsunami" was so frightened that Lin Yi saw the tsunami and the mysterious black figure inside the tsunami for the first time before being awakened by him. His soul trembled uncontrollably, as if he was being attracted directly by it.
Now that he was reminded by Lao Mo, Lin Yi seemed to have returned to the emotion that was shocked by it: "That tsunami...could it be the "source"? ! "
Lao Mo said that the tsunami was just a "cognitive" form. That thing had a more terrifying real form before being filtered by layers, so Lin Yi had this speculation.
“How can that be the “root”? "Lao Mo shook his head, "Aren't you always curious about "angels"? That is actually the "angel". "
"Or, that is "the "angel" I know"..."
"You understand now why I said there are no "angels" on campus, right? ”
“Once that kind of thing comes, the size of S City University cannot carry it, let alone ‘contain’ it.”
Lao Mo said: "I said... Once that thing comes, so far, only the "principal" in the entire campus has the ability to compete with it. However, I did not have the opportunity to face the principal. My knowledge about the principal was all told to me by the canteen owner. ”
ˆ “But I think that the limit of what “humans” can achieve is probably just like that.”
ˆ “Games at that level have nothing to do with the concept of “quantity”...Have you read the novel about cultivating immortals? All saints are ants, that is. That means that as long as you are not at that level, even if it is just a hair's length away, it will be an insurmountable gap in the level of life."
"As for your so-called night watchman to compete with it..."
"That is only what you can "see" with your naked eyes."
"The night watch... just prevents it from penetrating into the layer. That's why it is still." As he spoke, Lao Mo sat down on the ground, then pulled his backpack over and started handing tomatoes to Lin Yizhi.
Lin Yi looked at the tomato in Lao Mo's hand and was stunned for a moment.
"You eat tomatoes, I'll eat your extraordinary power... to replenish the consumption."
"This is the last place to replenish strength. Once we get to the bell tower, it will be a life and death battle... That guy Mu Daxian should not be dead yet."
"Uh...'dead'?" Lin Yi was stunned again.
Lao Mo raised his tomatoes.
He quickly took it, put it to his mouth and took a bite.
It was only then that Lin Yi had the mind to recall the previous scene, and then he discovered that along the way, Lao Mo used his domain to drain the extraordinary power from countless nocturnal species, but did not absorb any bit to replenish his own consumption.
Lin Yi thought of Lao Mo's words before, those extraordinary powers were too complex and could not be absorbed.
So what Lao Mo can absorb is his extraordinary power, and he...
"That's not right, Lao Mo, you can't absorb the extraordinary power here, why can I?" Lin Yi asked while nibbling on a tomato.
