Chapter 494 Observing the Dead Sculpture of the Laughing Angel
He smiled.
It turns out that people really laugh when they are speechless.
"The gap is really big..."
He sat on the steps, shaking his head helplessly.
And just when his will was a little relaxed, the shadow under him seemed to come alive, slowly squirming and twisting...
Invisible breaths came from his body. The shadow emerged from the shadow, and slowly started to move up against his body...
"Lin Yi..."
There was a faint call in his ear, like a ghost blowing the wind from its mouth and teasing his earlobes.
"Lin Yi..."
That voice kept coming.
"Get out." Lin Yi was not affected and just said this word lightly.
The call disappeared instantly, and the distorted shadow suddenly returned to normal.
Lin Yi stood up from the steps, lowered his head and glanced at the shadow.
Shadow is normal.
But as he looked, the normal shadow immediately became abnormal. At a certain moment, he would find that the shadow became like a smooth mirror surface, and through the mirror surface, there were countless smiling angels crowded and climbing on the cliff.
The gray world was filled with violent storms, and countless laughing angels looked at him with wide eyes like seagulls hiding on the mast of a ghost ship.
There are too many...it seems endless, as if there is no way to kill them all.
As he stared at the shadow, the laughing angel in the shadow was smiling at him.
But he is not afraid - at least now he is confident.
Because he clearly understood that the only units that the Smiling Angel could be afraid of might be units that could skillfully use the golden aura, and the Smiling Angel itself was not afraid of lights.
Judging from the current environment, there is nothing around that can prevent them from moving. Under such circumstances, they still choose to hide in his shadow and not come out, which is enough to explain a problem.
There are existences here that can threaten them.
Is it Liangzi?
Or...something else?
If his conjecture is true, Wei Liang is the creature that instantly killed the Laughing Angel, then it is reasonable for these Laughing Angels to hide in his shadow.
After all, since it is an instant kill, there is not much difference between killing one person and killing one piece.
If his conjecture is not true, it means that there are other factors that affect their arrival, and the dead body of the Laughing Angel in the bookshelf area is a warning.
His death made the Laughing Angel, who originally wanted to come out, give up.
In any case, the laughing angel who cannot leave the shadow is no different from the beast in the cage.
Just look at it, what do you think of you? You hit me? You hit me? !
Lin Yi looked back, collected his mood, and continued walking towards the bookshelf area.
"You can't rush ahead because of greed... I am completely different now than when I entered school. When I get more 'adapted', maybe I can really touch it..." He comforted himself and encouraged himself.
"Adaptation" characteristics, there is no upper limit.
He does have the confidence and qualifications.
When his attention left the shadow, the shadow returned to normal.
But Lin Yi didn't realize a problem. His vision could change, and the vision of the smiling angels in the shadow might also change...
Perhaps when those smiling angels looked at him through the shadow, what they saw... was another scene...?
…
Just when Lin Yi staggered and fell down on the steps, Wei Liang, who was immersed in reading comics, suddenly raised his head, and then turned to look over.
His brows frowned slightly, but they relaxed quickly. He rubbed the muscles on his neck, briefly moved his arms, and then continued to read the comics at hand.
…
X May 10, 2023, 16:23.
Lin Yi came to the edge of the bookshelf where he and Wei Liang were hiding before. Looking at the sculpture of the smiling angel that had turned into a dead body, he stepped closer to it.
"It's strange...it's always been here. Why didn't I notice its existence at all just now?" No matter how many times he looked at it, Lin Yi's doubts could not be alleviated much.
He still remembered that the lights in the classroom flickered first, and then Wei Liang pulled him back to his seat.
Logically speaking, he should be able to spot the Laughing Angel if the light flashes... Unless the Laughing Angel is killed before the light flashes.
Because he has never sensed it, the appearance time and death time of this laughing angel have become a mystery.
"But... if Liangzi is put in, everything seems to make sense..."
Wei Liang sensed in advance that the Laughing Angel was about to emerge from his shadow, so he took him to the bookshelf area and killed the Laughing Angel?
If you think about it this way, things will suddenly become much simpler. But in that case, will he disgrace Wei Liang too much? And there is no difference between conjecture and delusion without any evidence.
"No matter... let's observe this thing first."
Lin Yi carefully observed the dead body of the Smiling Angel sculpture in front of him, hoping to get some information from it.
Speaking of it, this was the first time he had observed the Laughing Angel so closely. Before, he had either been chased around by the Laughing Angel after just one glance, or he had watched Lao Mo slaughter the Laughing Angel like a chicken. He had no chance to observe it statically.
The dead body of the smiling angel sculpture in front of me is blue-gray in color as a whole, and glows with a strange cold light under the incandescent lamp in the classroom. If you don’t look at the ferocious expression on the face, the dead body of the sculpture is quite artistic as a whole.
And on its face, it seems to have that kind of symbolic and weird smile, exuding a strong cult atmosphere.
It has no eyebrows, and there are traces like teardrops on the brow bone. The crescent-shaped crack at the eyebrow arch winds to the forehead. When the light shifts, a trace of white light flashes in the crack, like the trace of a snail crawling, and it seems to be some kind of strange secret pattern.
What is even more strange is that Lin Yi discovered that there were traces of moss on the dead body of the Smiling Angel sculpture.
「eh?」
It’s not surprising, but it’s actually not surprising at all. Almost all the sculptures on campus have more or less traces of moss on them.
However, it is really strange to say that it is strange, because the sculpture of the Smiling Angel is different from ordinary sculptures. It is illusory in itself and only becomes real at certain times. Logically speaking, even if it is a sculpture, it should not be stained with moss.
Lin Yi thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. The only guess he came up with was that the sculpture form of the Laughing Angel might be different from what he had guessed. It might not be as simple as a materialization when it enters the reality from the layer.
He turned his attention to the wings of the laughing angel...
Although the wings of the Laughing Angel look like a large piece of stone, they can actually be divided into many layers. The feathers are solidified in different shapes. The outer feathers are as straight as sharp swords, while the inner ones are curled into the curvature of a baby's hand...
But when he looked at the inner feathers, he found some subtle traces of lines, as if they were a closed eye.
He suddenly remembered that the wings of the Laughing Angel were just big eyes like bunches of grapes, but in other people's perception, they were just wings.
When he re-established this cognition, he found that the wings of the Laughing Angel began to show another sense of lines, and the original feather shape began to squirm into the shape of big eyes.
Obviously he knew in his heart that it was a dead body, but as the big eyes appeared, Lin Yi's hair still stood up - not because of fear, but because of his trypophobia.
He shook his head slightly, his big eyes disappeared, and his wings returned to their feathery shape.
Suddenly, Lin Yi noticed that the cracked part of the Xima Chun pendulum revealed some kind of strange texture. The cracks shone with tiny particles similar to quartz. Whenever the light deflected slightly, those crystal particles would float in waves.
In a daze, Lin Yi could sense a trace of abnormal fluctuations in the dead body of the smiling angel sculpture. It seemed like some kind of lingering yin energy, like a momentary dynamic residue that seeped out from a layer or some dimension...
Lin Yi didn't notice that when he stared at the dead body of the Smiling Angel, the atmosphere around him seemed to have become stagnant. The straight bookshelf was losing its original sense of regularity, and the entire space seemed to be drawn into a whirlpool...
The dead body of the smiling angel sculpture suddenly trembled slightly. The tip of one of the remaining wings of the originally petrified sculpture suddenly trembled slightly. The folds of Himachun's skirt seemed to have turned into the wavy arc blown by the wind at a certain moment before.
There are some tiny debris left in its blue-gray fingertips, like tomb soil picked up from a certain location...
Lin Yi did not notice the abnormalities displayed by the dead body of the Laughing Angel sculpture, and his attention was completely immersed in observing its shape.
Under his insight, the traces of the snail-like crawling on the Laughing Angel sculpture became more and more obvious. Compared with the original blue-gray stone appearance of the Laughing Angel sculpture, it seemed a little imperceptible. The entire Laughing Angel sculpture seemed to be a pile of stones firmly connected by the secret pattern.
"The sculpture is just an appearance that deceives cognition, that secret pattern is the true nature of the Laughing Angel?!"
"Could it be that the Laughing Angel is also a product derived from some kind of secret pattern? Isn't it the will of the dreamer in the picture? Is it the result of the continuous sinking in the layers and the final distortion? ” Lin Yi felt more and more that the origin of the Laughing Angel was not simple, or... the secret pattern that built the Laughing Angel like a framework was the real problem.
Lin Yi kept pondering the secrets of the Smiling Angel. His eyes gradually opened as wide as bells, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved in some arcs that he didn't even notice...
In that faintly twisted world, he would from time to time because of some He was overjoyed by the small discovery, as if the old scholar had seen something brand new...
Not far away, Lu Zhao, who had just climbed the steps, suddenly stopped. He was horrified to find that at this moment, Lin Yi's face was almost touching the dead body of the Smiling Angel sculpture.
Lin Yi was close to the secret patterns on the dead body of the Smiling Angel sculpture, while gently touching the body of the Smiling Angel sculpture with his hand, like a fanatical scholar studying the mysterious slate that had just been unearthed...
That look of rationality but extreme fanaticism made both Lu Zhao and Chen Xue tremble.
"Old Lu...he..." Chen Xue couldn't believe it. Lin Yi, who seemed very normal when they were communicating a moment ago, had turned into such a crazy person, like a mad scientist, in just a few minutes.
Lu Zhao shook his head slightly, with a solemn expression: "The layers around him are already distorting... What we see is only what we perceive, and the real situation may be fundamentally different from what we 'see'..."
"I sensed an invisible field. Is that funny angel not dead?!" Chen Xue felt some fear in her heart.
"I don't know, but when I just explored it, I clearly couldn't sense its "living" breath..." Lu Zhao's face was a little ugly. A living, smiling angel is enough to turn the entire classroom of pseudo-students into "fog-covered light chasers", and can easily kill everyone here...
Faced with the existence of the graph level, they are unable to resist with their current means. Once they are locked, there will be no chance to escape.
Chen Xue was silent for a moment, then said: "I'm going to call my sister and Jin Jiuyao."
"Go..." Lu Zhao sighed. He prioritized everything. Rather than solving these fake classmates in the classroom, the problem at hand was the real problem that needed to be solved urgently.
After Chen Xue turned around and left, Lu Zhao hugged the mountaineering bag in front of him and inserted one hand into it. If there were any abnormal situations, he could respond promptly.
Soon, Chen Xue came over with Chen Bing and Jin Jiuyao, who looked a little pale.
Jin Jiuyao's face turned pale as soon as he arrived here, and he almost blurted out: "The breath of the laughing angel! That sculpture is obviously a dead body, how can it still have breath? Did that Xiao Zi do something?"
"Chen Bing and Chen Xue, how about you..." Jin Jiuyao looked at the twins.
Chen Xue squinted her eyes and had no objection.
Chen Bing, who had always been silent, also spoke coldly at this time: "Agreement three, eliminate all threats, Lao Lu, waiting for your order."
As she spoke, she held hands with Chen Xue, and the moment they held hands, some pure white aura appeared where the two women's palms met. The aura spread and made sky blue lines, spreading along their palms to their forearms, and soon extended to their shoulders, and then Disappeared at the shoulder straps of the clothes...
With the appearance of this secret pattern, the auras of the two women suddenly changed from cold to much more holy, as if they had moved the fort and aimed it at Lin Yi, waiting for Lu Zhao's order to launch some kind of attack.
Wei Liang, who was not far away, suddenly threw the H-comic out and cursed: "What a rubbish plot! I'm really sick of it. The heroine group has been wiped out and I'm still watching a few fairs? The Witcher doesn't have such graffiti in her suffering, does she?"
