Chapter 455: Chapter 201 The so-called "Doomsday"_2

All the lines were twisting, and the direction of the twisting defied normal logical prediction, making it increasingly unsettling to look at. There surged an indescribable sensation of ant bites, a blend of itchiness and nausea.

Gradually, the sense of distortion seeped out from the Corridor Bridge side of Teaching Building D Block, spreading toward Mao Feiyang, and at the same time, everything around Mao Feiyang began to fade, even the incandescent light dimmed into grayness...

The entire world seemed to be dragged into another collapsing dimension amid the distortion. Mao Feiyang felt himself losing his balance. Although he hadn’t moved at all, the whole world began to sway as if pushed by waves and wind at sea.

He felt like he was about to fall, but amid the ongoing shift in balance, he couldn’t help but feel a déjà vu, as if falling would mean being devoured by the distorted spatial lines...

Accompanying the shifting, the scenery Lin Yi witnessed also continued to break apart, as the discomfort he had suppressed came surging back. In the space, the walls suddenly burst with countless Purebred Nightwalkers which wriggled like rolled out dough swelling suddenly, and out of those flesh seams popped numerous bloodshot eyeballs.

These eyeballs rolled about, filling the Corridor Bridge of Teaching Building D Block and the surrounding world at varying distances and heights, all staring intently at Mao Feiyang, the sensation of being watched by something eerie chilled one to the bone, like plunging into a deep abyss.

When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

And now, there was no need to gaze into the abyss, for the abyss was already staring at you, because you had inadvertently come to the abyss...

[He has come!]

[He’s here!!]

[Come! Come!]

[Hahahaha...]

Mao Feiyang seemed to hear the laughter of countless Purebred Nightwalkers, the sound of the sea wind and waves, and a call coming from the deep sea—

[「I AvgruNnen av tåKe og jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome」]

Mao Feiyang felt petrified, gradually feeling the abyss swallowing him, an intense desire to flee filled his heart, yet his body was unable to move.

Just at the last moment, he suddenly found that the sense of distortion in the surrounding space had considerably weakened, then as if twisted by some force, it gradually returned to its original state, characterized by geometric rules...

At the same time, the eerie cries of agony also began to diminish, everything seemed to have been reversed.

Immediately after, a hand landed on his shoulder, pulling him back.

Mao Feiyang turned his head and saw the stern face of Mu Daxian.

Seeing Mao Feiyang regain his senses, the corners of Mu Daxian’s mouth softened slightly.

"Don’t mess around... I can’t save you every time, you’re lucky I managed to pull you back this time." He sighed with relief, not blaming Mao Feiyang too much, seemingly used to the unexpected surprises his reckless actions as an art newcomer often brought.

Mao Feiyang looked back fearfully at the wall: "What’s behind this wall?"

"If you go by the rules of the Teaching Building, that’s Teaching Building D Block." Mu Daxian said calmly.

"Oh..." Mao Feiyang suddenly realized.

Hearing Mao Feiyang ask about something related to D Block, Lin Yi’s eyes brightened, but hearing Mao Feiyang say "Oh" made him jump up in agitation.

「Maozi, you fucking "oh" again?!」

「What time is it, and you’re still oh oh, calling oh oh? Can’t you ask for some useful information, big brother!」

As if responding to Lin Yi’s outcry, Mao Feiyang, in a thoughtful manner, asked: "It sounds like there’s another explanation... That D Block looks similar to the Art Building, could it also be using that... that virtual image technology?"

"No, wait... you mentioned something to the class teacher about seeing the Art Building again, could that place be part of the Art Building?"

Mu Daxian shook his head: "No, that’s the Library."

Mao Feiyang was startled: "Is it the ’Library’ we passed by when we were coming up in the elevator?"

"Exactly." Mu Daxian nodded, "The Library is located between the Teaching Building and the Art Building."

Mao Feiyang had a sudden insight: "Since we can’t go back to the classroom anyway, why don’t we stay in the Library for a while, and return close to midnight?"

"No," Mu Daxian directly negated his idea.

"Why?" Mao Feiyang asked, puzzled.

Mu Daxian patted the wall, "Because this path is one-way. Once you’ve crossed the Corridor Bridge and reached the front of the Library, the road will have disappeared."

"It becomes a wall like this?"

"Sort of," Mu Daxian shrugged and sidestepped the question, "But you won’t have many chances to go to the Library, so don’t ask too much. Knowing too much isn’t good for you. Right now, it’s a troubled time, you should first think of ways to safely get through this ’Doomsday.’"

"Oh..." Mao Feiyang nodded.

"Let me think, if I remember correctly, this should be... ’the 73rd Grey Mist Invasion’!" Mu Daxian calculated.

"Okay..." Mao Feiyang suddenly became interested, "I just heard you talking to that teacher about the Doomsday. What’s the relation between that and the Grey Mist Invasion?"

Mu Daxian glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then said, "Do you really want to know?"

"Uh... is it something I shouldn’t know?" Mao Feiyang was startled.

Mu Daxian shook his head slightly, "Just a bit..."

Mao Feiyang pursed his lips, "Then why not tell me the part that hasn’t been touched?"

"..."

"You really are a damn dog..."

Mao Feiyang chuckled but did not retort.

Mu Daxian organized his thoughts simply and then said, "Let me give you an analogy."

"Alright."

"The Art Building is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side, right?"

"Yes, that’s right."

"There is a contamination source emitting strong radiation deep in that sea. The power of the contamination permeates the sky and sea, presenting as Grey Mist. With the tides, the contamination seeps onto the coastline, invading our world from that other world..."

"The ’Battle of Doomsday’ is the greatest battle in history, like the Big Bang, it happened a very long time ago, but the impact of that battle continues to permeate through time and space."

"Even now, the whole world still occasionally suffers from some of its effects..."

"But, the Grey Mist Invasion cannot be equated with Doomsday."

"The Grey Mist Invasion refers to the ’Ocean Tide’ since the founding of S City University."

"It can only be considered one of the larger aftershocks of Doomsday..."

Mao Feiyang mused, "Like the relationship between an earthquake and aftershocks?"

"Something like that," Mu Daxian said, and then he emphasized, "However, what I’ve just said, all of it was just an analogy to help you understand."

"Especially the sea and tides I referred to in my analogy, don’t actually take them to mean the sea and tides, otherwise, I’m really afraid you wouldn’t dare to sketch when you go back to the Art Building."

"Okay," Mao Feiyang nodded.

The two of them stayed there, while Lin Yi saw a slight fluctuation in the scene before his eyes, which then became increasingly intense, more and more intense...

Finally, Lin Yi’s thoughts returned to the previous "First Layer Dream."

At that moment in the dream, the time should be around 11 pm on May 7, Mao Feiyang wandered around Teaching Building under the guidance of Mu Daxian, followed by a group of Purebred Nightwalkers with "signal delays."

"Up until just now, there was no clue about Maozi losing the Student Souvenir Coin..." Lin Yi thought deeply, "Could it have happened while taking the elevator?"
