Chapter 585: Chapter 265: You Summoned an Angel?!_2

However, when its gaze fell upon Lin Yi, it also saw the sky-covering bandage tsunami, and hidden behind the tsunami... the Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student!

At that moment, its eyes curved in apparent delight, both eyeballs lighting up as if it had found even more scrumptious food!

In the darkness, its smile grew even thicker.

Then, like a wraith, it floated up, drifting over from that layer, and at last, it pierced through the black mirror, coming out as if it had no physical form...

With the appearance of the Sneering Angel, the twisted Green Forest Belt and the cobblestone paths around violently trembled, and the cartoon-style sky convulsed violently as well, turning the whole world into a boiling kettle, "bubbling" up with one bubble after another!

Meanwhile, the bandage tsunami that was about to drown Lin Yi contorted like noodles, breaking apart one after another until it was completely shattered!

As the bandages were destroyed, the huge dark shadow they formed also vanished, and the black mirror under Lin Yi’s feet instantly contracted, but... the Sneering Angel remained right there!

"Angels walk toward the light and do not stray," Lin Yi’s pupils shuddered violently for a moment, as he realized a very serious problem—unlike "traditional" sculptures, Angel Sculptures seemed not to fear the sunlight!

The bandage rain fell from the sky like countless fluttering petals, but those that came close to the Sneering Angel all withered rapidly as if drained of life, waiting to hit the ground and shatter into white powder particles.

Looking at the newly arrived Sneering Angel, the Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student’s eyes filled with terror, and its voice trembled, "Sneer... Sneering Angel...?!"

"You... you actually summoned an angel?!"

It glared fiercely at Lin Yi, only to find that Lin Yi had already broken into a run!

"?"

The Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student was first stunned, then its expression drastically changed, and the ferocious fierceness that had been on its face melted away like snow and ice.

"Damn it, where do you think you’re running to?!"

Lin Yi was no fool; as soon as he noticed the Sneering Angel had shifted its attention away from him, he started desperately lubricating his soles, waiting for a chance to break into a sprint and make a clean getaway...

As the saying goes, better for the witch to die than the wizard, not to mention this Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student was far from being a companion.

Now, with the complete arrival of the Sneering Angel, the scene overwritten by the Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student crumbled like floating duckweed on water.

This was the absolute overwhelming power that Mu Daxian had once mentioned to Mao Feiyang!

That night, the Sneering Angel did not attack Mu Daxian and the others, not because it could not break through the layer Mu Daxian had overwritten, but because it hadn’t found them.

But now it was different; the Sneering Angel hadn’t broken through that overwritten layer from the outside, it was the shadow of the Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student that had created a pathway, giving the Sneering Angel an opportunity to arrive directly from the inside!

Such an arrival was, to this layer of overwrite, a direct dimensional assault!

If the original world were a photograph, then the photograph after being overwritten by the Pseudo-human Art Student would be like wrinkling that photo and then outlining some of its features with rough and abstract strokes...

Gradually, the wrinkled photo slowly reverted back to its original form, and the overwrite adhering to its surface began to peel off bit by bit. Before long, the true campus layer’s cobblestone path layer reappeared under Lin Yi’s feet.

Having verified there were no issues, Lin Yi throttled up and, like a frightened rabbit, shot out.

"Summon an angel?"

"I TM summoned a fucking angel? If I could do that, would I be playing house with you here?!"

Lin Yi sneered silently, yet he couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing— "It’s downright hilarious; the Sneering Angel seems to have a bigger appetite for him..."

But just then, Lin Yi realized something like a festering sore had appeared behind him—

"Don’t run off alone! Wait for me!" The Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student clumsily used hands and feet alike, its absurd running shape like a wheel caked in mud, surrounded by fluttering scraps of bandages.

Its physical constitution wasn’t great, which was why it needed to strap itself onto the ’puppet’s’ back for sufficient mobility.

But at that moment, under the threat of the Sneering Angel, it could care less about anything else and hurriedly stumbled and scrambled forward. It had lost all sense of direction, simply viewing Lin Yi’s retreating back as its anchor and doggedly pursuing it.

"Howl—"

The Sneering Angel let out a hoarse and deep sound, sticking to the Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student like a ghostly shadow, continuously drawing out a dark green mist from within it...

The Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student let out a pained low groan, gradually falling behind Lin Yi’s pace, then tripped over its own limbs and tumbled forward, deflating like a punctured inner tube, eventually collapsing powerless, its head lolling to one side, eyes fixed on Lin Yi’s back.

Then, its eyes grew ever more dim.

"Huff... Huff..."

The Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student collapsed on the ground, its skeleton—if it even had one—seeming utterly disintegrated, the whole figure steadily turning into a puddle of sludge, slowly spreading out on the ground...

And from within it seeped continuous streams of that dark green mist, from dense to thin, till it was a barely visible wisp...

And as this dark green mist was drawn into the body of the Sneering Angel, the hourglass it held began to take on a metallic sheen, as if shifting from stone to metal.

Even the sand inside the hourglass, previously immobile, turned into a substance akin to gold-infused liquid gold, a solid-liquid hybrid material.

Around this flowing golden sand, the space seemed to collapse, taking on a crystal ball’s texture at a glance, exuding a soul-snatching power as if it could extract one’s mind and spirit completely.

When the Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student was drained of its last breath, its form became a stinking mud sculpture, identical in appearance to a Purebred Nightwalker’s.

The Sneering Angel still floated there like a wraith, its almost translucent body shimmering in the sunlight with a hazy, vitreous luster, iridescent as if made from countless shattered mirrors...

But from start to finish, its wings were tucked close, as if they were merely decorative, and even after exposure to sunlight for a while, its wings remained damp, dripping constantly as though they would never dry.

It glanced at the direction Lin Yi had fled, took a deep breath, eyes revealing a glint of greed and intoxication, then followed the scent and drifted away.

...

May 9, 2023, 12:18, at the cobblestone path in the gymnasium area.

Lin Yi, out of breath, caught up with Wei Liang ahead.

Wei Liang glanced sideways, then looked Lin Yi up and down with surprise before asking, "Did you, Old Lin, slip and tumble down then climb back up? Why do you look so disheveled?"

After wrestling with his backpack and the Bandage Pseudo-human Art Student’s puppet, and scrambling around on overlying layers, Lin Yi naturally ended up a mess, looking just as Wei Liang described.

"I, huh... I ran into a bit of trouble," Lin Yi panted, propping himself on his knees, "but it’s all good now. Speaking of which... didn’t you encounter anything?"
