Chapter 496: Chapter 222: On Paper and Beyond Paper
"Ape-Man Tarzan my ass, that’s an ’Exoskeleton’." Mu Daxian squinted, his eyes gleaming with golden light, "Since 1999, many forces have been developing exoskeletons powered by supernatural power..."
"But... why would the school allow such people to come in? Is it due to lax scrutiny... or for some other purpose?"
Mao Feiyang pondered over the exoskeleton for a moment, his expression suddenly becoming strange: "Brother Xian, does this thing... really exist?"
Mu Daxian looked at Mao Feiyang with a weird expression: "Are you an alien? Are exoskeletons that rare?"
"At the onset of the campus establishment, the officials had dispatched many Kings of Soldiers wearing exoskeletons here. The early construction of the campus was shadowed by their presence, but later, due to a misjudged decision, the officials sent Kings of Soldiers with some secret weapons to explore the dark... Art Building, and they were all lost."
"After that, no technological forces ever entered this place again."
"Because within the domain woven by supernatural power, technological weapons are as good as a joke..."
"So, the corporate-led forces started researching ’supernatural weapons,’ which utilize scientific power to harness some ’supernatural powers’ thereby enabling strong individuals to operate exoskeletons that carry supernatural powers in battle."
"Briefly referred to as... ’enchanted’ weapons."
"That guy just now... was wearing something similar, although the technology is not yet mature, at least, it wasn’t mature enough when I enrolled in ’21..."
"Hiss..." Mao Feiyang sucked in a breath of cold air.
"What’s wrong?" Mu Daxian looked at Mao Feiyang, puzzled.
"Nothing..." Mao Feiyang shook his head, rubbed his little head and muttered softly, "Before ’21... was there really a company focused on building exoskeletons? Am I hallucinating, or... have I lost my memory...?"
He looked at Mu Daxian strangely, and after several hesitations, he couldn’t help but ask: "Brother Xian... what did you do before you enrolled?"
"If I told you I piloted Gundams, would you believe me?" Mu Daxian was contemplating the issue when he blurted out this response.
"If it was before, I definitely wouldn’t believe it, but now... I might believe it a little." Mao Feiyang said earnestly, "So, even a Gundam couldn’t eliminate the Nocturnal species of the Art Building?"
"You fucking really believe I piloted a Gundam?" Mu Daxian spoke disdainfully, "I’ve assembled Gundams before, but never actually piloted one."
"Okay..." Mao Feiyang shrugged.
Mu Daxian said, "But don’t be too optimistic, even really piloting a Gundam would be useless here."
"When the level of a certain force is powerful enough to twist three dimensions, any entity dependent on three dimensions can’t hit It effectively."
Mu Daxian paused, looked at Mao Feiyang, and asked, "Are you scared of a pattern drawn on paper?"
Mao Feiyang was at a loss for words.
"If you’re scared, you can tear up that piece of paper." Mu Daxian continued, "Moreover, do you need to ask the pattern’s permission to tear the paper?"
Mao Feiyang was terribly shocked, completely unsure of what to say.
"Let’s go, keep looking for light bulbs; we just need one more to secure it." Mu Daxian withdrew his gaze and patted Mao Feiyang on the shoulder.
Mao Feiyang got up dazedly, silently following behind Mu Daxian.
As they walked, he suddenly asked: "Brother Xian..."
"Say it."
"Is the Angel Sculpture... drawn on paper?"
"Yes."
"So the Angel Sculpture is still just on paper?"
"On paper, and at most it’s just a bigger pattern."
"Then... ’Angel’?"
"’Angel,’ yeah, still on paper."
"What about It?"
"Put it this way, on the same paper, the Angel Sculpture is like drawing a bicycle, ’Angel’ is like drawing a motorcycle, It is like drawing a supercar. Although the levels are clear, they are all still on paper."
"Eh... Brother Xian, how do you know which ’It’ I was referring to?"
Mu Daxian spoke wordlessly, "Your cognitive limit is this much, the ’It’ you’re talking about is the guy we encountered last night being chased by an angel...and the first ’It’ I mentioned, belongs to an entity beyond the paper."
"Because there isn’t a more powerful ta left to use, so as far as we are concerned, the concept of ta is pretty much the same."
"A human can crush an ant, and a tank can also crush an ant. To an ant, based on the fact ’can crush it’, there is no difference between a human and a tank, but the problem is, in the eyes of a tank, there isn’t much difference between a human and an ant either."
Hearing this, Mao Feiyang felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and a shivering cold on his back.
So did Lin Yi.
In that moment, he truly felt how insignificant he was.
As if in the presence of such a high-level entity, the boundary between life and death blurred, because the life and death that you care about might not matter at all to the other party.
"I inadvertently pass through your whole world, and your whole world is destroyed"
"I destroyed your world, but I don’t even know it"
In that moment, he truly experienced a sense of insignificance and helplessness, like a child building sandcastles on a beach, naively believing the sandcastle is indestructible.
But the sea doesn’t need to unleash a tsunami, just a small wave can smooth out the sandcastle.
The Sneering Angel, which already seems impossible to them, can only receive a Cautions of ’Those Who Chase the Light Through the Fog End Up as Phantoms’...emmmm...this Cautions seems not to be addressing the Angel Statue, but Mao Feiyang thought, maybe it’s pretty much the same.
No matter how strong or terrifying, it’s just like moths chasing the lights, mere insects...
