Chapter 589: Chapter 267 Buff Maxed Out, Layers Dropped and Offset_2

At that moment, those words soothed him like a boomerang comforting him even now!

Getting wet in the rain doesn’t really matter as long as one is not lost and keeps their life, just go to the bathroom in the Swimming Hall of the Gymnasium and take a shower to purify these negative effects!

So, all in all, it’s about holding on.

"Just hold on until the front of the Gymnasium and everything will be fine!"

Although the images in his Vision had twisted into unrecognizable shapes, like countless wriggling tiny spirals, driving one insane, and resembling some tadpoles flicking their tails, incessantly burrowing upwards somewhere.

Lin Yi focused all his attention on Wei Liang, closely following after him in a rush, while the crazy Green Forest Belt caught in the corner of his eye became even more blurred and terrifying due to the shifting focus of his sight.

Those trees in the Green Forest Belt, after being stretched into towering trees, began to sway in rhythm with the distortion of the Vision, if the Bandage Pseudo-Human Art Student’s superimposed copy merely trapped Lin Yi with a painting, then now the whole World had become a bonsai landscape, and he was an insignificant ant in that landscape.

External forces were arbitrarily twisting the Vision they inhabited, trying from myriad angles to make it go with the flow, while he was in this bumpy, frenzied world, following Wei Liang towards the edge of the World.

Around him, the shadows of the trees were twisted and strange, the contours of the mountains were blurred, and the sunshower seemed to bring a surge of heat falling onto the earth, molding the entire world into a frenzied state amidst steaming heat and moist Breath.

"Tick, tock..."

Fine raindrops continuously struck Lin Yi’s face, and water mist appeared on his already distorted Vision like rain on glass, creating crooked water stain marks resembling the torn fabric bitten by a terrifying monster.

Those who hadn’t experienced this sunshower could never imagine the predicament Lin Yi was encountering now, never able to comprehend the fear and unease indescribable by words, he, during the daytime, seemed like he was on an endless, far-reaching path on the Cobblestone road, glimpsing the Abyss hidden in the universe, which was also silently staring back at him.

He could no longer see Wei Liang clearly, but the touch on his hand told him that he still had a connection with Wei Liang.

Somewhere far behind Lin Yi, a Sneering Angel, like a wraith, floated over carrying an hourglass flowing with thick Golden Sand, yet though it had clearly seen Lin Yi, as if it sensed something, it did not continue forward.

And ahead of it was the boundary of the sunshower—just like there has to be a boundary in a rainy area, right in front of it was the boundary of this sunshower.

It silently watched the depths of the sunshower, then slowly floated down from the air, holding the hourglass between its index finger and thumb, slowly assumed a posture of bowing and covering its face with its palms...

Gradually, it turned into a sculpture Under the Sun, then started fading into transparency, until its figure could no longer be captured by the naked eye Vision system...

...

On the other side, in the distorted world through which Lin Yi walked, his body began to emit a faint green glow as he continuously absorbed the falling sunshower, with the surrounding wind growing increasingly stronger, yet the raindrops maintained the same frequency and rhythm, creating a sense of "you blow your wind, I’ll fall my rain".

And this discordant feeling, once again, started assaulting Lin Yi’s Five Senses.

Until this moment, his Five Senses’ cognition of the external world had been distorted quite a bit, fortunately, his hand was always on Wei...

"Oh no...!!"

Wei Liang had disappeared.

"We were holding hands the whole time, how did he disappear?!"

"Layers...?!"

"Layers have fallen... When did this happen?!"

Unable to judge, for he has been continually falling through the layers, where the only differences are their varying depths!

Lin Yi looked at his own arms, only feeling goosebumps rising all over.

In his nearly pathological distorted vision, his hands too were filled with those swimming, tadpole-like micro spirals, and the boundaries between his arms and the surrounding environment had begun to blur...

Now, he was like an impressionist character from a painting by Monet, the entire person about to turn into something like an ancient abstract work formed of shattered pointillism.

"Damn it! Could I be buried in the layers here?!"

A layer of sweat emerged on Lin Yi’s forehead, though in reality, he no longer felt what sweat was; it was all a psychological effect.

He could only keep walking forward as per his sensations, trying to spot some numbered lamp posts to anchor his location.

Yet in such a stagnant environment, it seemed as if each tree possessed its own spirit, and the deep sound of the wind seemed to carry some ancient call.

Lin Yi gradually lost his direction, feeling he had deviated from the correct path, but his will had to lock his cognition, repeatedly emphasizing to himself that he was on the right track.

However, the trees around him grew denser and impenetrable, their tangled roots entwined as if wrestling with each other, squeaking sounds faintly coming from them, chilling to the bone, as if countless indeterminate sculptures were curling up in places the light couldn’t reach, spying on his every move.

He felt he "might" have accidentally entered the Green Forest Belt.

Or perhaps... the Green Forest Belt summoned him.

In the depths of this forest, there also seemed to come a strong wind carrying a sinister and terrifying whisper, chilling one to the core...

Lin Yi dared not "stop" walking, nor did he dare to "turn back." He also couldn’t use the method of escaping layers through the Student Passage to use his cognition of the campus area to anchor himself—what a joke! He had been lost once when he had gone to the Gymnasium, having not obtained a correct informational anchor point!

Moreover, he still hadn’t figured out what this Sun Rain was all about, what should he do!

"Crack, crack, crack..."

He felt dry leaves and loose sand beneath his feet, as if he had entered deep into the woods.

However, his cheeks and other parts exposed to the air could still feel the suffocating dampness of the Sun Rain, his body on the same plane yet as if stepping through different layers...

Soon, Lin Yi sensed a moist and desolate breath deep in the twisted forest. Here, the faint sunlight could no longer penetrate the thick leaf layers, the raindrops seemed to be blocked by the branches, leaving only a few raindrops drifting down with the mist...

The normal world usually consists of stable and regular geometric architectures filled with lines that conform to human cognitive habits, but now, in Lin Yi’s place, not only have all the lines transformed into an anti-human form, but even the colors became unregulated, leading to Lin Yi no longer being able to remember any details related to this place.

In this layer filled with visual contamination and indirect spiritual pollution, he could not find any grounding points related to reality, nor had the energy to discard distractions and seriously think.

Thinking about contamination-related issues would be very dangerous, but if already in a dire situation, then there was simply no other choice.

Lin Yi thus tried to lessen some of the interfering factors that "relatively speaking had lesser impact on him," such as the wind and rain.

If others heard that he was ignoring both the wind and rain, they would surely scold him for seeking death, but in his current position, the intense wind and Sun Rain had already been substantially blocked by the deep forest. What he needed to do was to find some details here, allowing him to anchor back to the Green Forest Belt of the campus area.

He estimated that his position in the campus layer wouldn’t be too far from the Cobblestone path, perhaps now inside the Green Forest Belt, or maybe deeper into the mountain woods.
