Chapter 600: Chapter 272: Phantom Vision! Art Building Stairwell! _3

The direction of gravity was twisted; they were actually walking on the warped steps which defied physical laws, seeming to spiral upwards, yet actually descending. Otherwise, what kind of tidal wave could sweep over this castle built atop a cliff?

Unless... the tidal wave had already submerged parts of the castle?

But then again... that pitch-black hole above the staircase corridor truly resembled an endless abyss, sadly, in this staircase where even time couldn’t be determined, becoming disoriented in space seemed to have become the norm.

This made Lin Yi highly anxious about Mao Feiyang’s current predicament. The situation at the Art Building... was looking truly precarious!

Suddenly, a terrifying thunderclap, as if tearing apart the dark sky.

"Boom——Crack——"

A loud explosion led the thunder directly to Lin Yi and Mao Feiyang’s hearts. At this moment, the two’s vision synchronized on a certain ’frequency,’ as if brilliant, scalding golden radiance like cascading molten gold flowed deep within their eyes, instantaneously turning the whole world back into an original and pure monochrome photographic negative...

His vision, like an x-ray, was able to see every stone block’s lines on the walls, and beyond these intricate lines, there were numerous twisted outlines. These were the outlines of the Purebred Nightwalkers — Lin Yi had once seen these rubber-like Purebred Nightwalkers in the staircase corridor of the overloaded Teaching Building minivan. Now, their lines resembled ’humans’ more than in the staircase corridor, but still did not deviate from the classification of ’Crawlers.’

Their limbs were sharp, their bodies soft, resembling bladed parts of humanoid octopuses or spiders densely crawling or sliding across The City Wall’s outer walls, that eerie form filled with chilling details. Merely seeing these outlines made Lin Yi feel a nauseating revulsion.

And beyond the outlines of the Purebred Nightwalkers, Lin Yi saw something even more terrifying...

The Sneering Angels!

A multitude of Sneering Angels, floating like wraiths within the dim, indistinguishable sky of day or night, some holding hourglasses, some with empty hands, circling outside the walls like swarms of dragonflies flying low before a heavy summer rain...

Lin Yi also tried to observe the architectural lines of the Art Building through this kind of monochrome photographic quality Vision, to ascertain Maozi’s general location. However, before he could find those lines, a Sneering Angel very abruptly appeared right in front of him, separated by only a wall!

A multitude of Sneering Angels seemed to have sensed it, all turning direction, looking across the void towards Lin Yi(Mao Feiyang) and their spot, with the corners of their mouths starting to curl up, their eyes smiling but pupils soulless, like a group of fish with dead fish eyes in a pond, having spotted food thrown by tourists, fervently rushing over!

[lyset...]

[...lyset...]

Separated by the wall, Lin Yi could clearly hear the hoarse calling mingled with the wind drilling into his ears.

"Thunk!"

The staircase shook violently, as if hit by a tidal wave, a Sneering Angel got bounced off the outer wall!

Inside the staircase, the flames on the candlestick flickered intensely, dimming momentarily before struggling to bloom with light again, much like an old man dragging his weary body to continuously maintain barriers, each protection pulling his nearly done aged self closer to the grave a bit more.

Amid the flickering candlelight, an invisible ripple seemingly carrying a fluttering sound affected Lin Yi’s Vision, like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly disrupting Lin Yi’s monochrome photographic quality Vision, pulling it back into the staircase!

Yanjing Ming’s expression suddenly turned grave, he couldn’t care about others now, focusing on protecting Mao Feiyang beside him, somberly saying, "The situation is bad, let’s go!"
