Chapter 692: Chapter 317 "Light Bulb" _2

For Experience Students, eating is a method to purify the pollution within their bodies.

Whereas for Sports Students and Art Students, it’s merely for the sake of satisfying hunger, even more, they themselves need to absorb specific pollution.

Therefore, if they can enjoy purer energy, it is all the same to skip a few meals in the cafeteria.

That’s why people like Security Guards, Physical Education Teachers, and Art Teachers never go to eat in the cafeteria.

It’s not that the cafeteria’s food isn’t delicious, it’s that the roasted Rage Angels have a better cost-performance ratio.

So even Boss calmly told him that for the next few days, there’s no need to eat in the cafeteria.

For him, the cafeteria is no longer a necessity because he doesn’t need to purify pollution.

Or perhaps, the amount of purification is such that the pollution produced during a meal might be even greater...

And Lin Yi had a strange illusion... Tomatoes seemed no longer sufficient to pose a threat to him.

"Those Rage Angels, don’t bother with them anymore. Like boiling frogs in warm water, at this stage, they are just ingredients," Xia Lian reminded, and then she sat down.

Li Huiyuan licked her lips and said, "Lin Yi, I suddenly feel so hungry! I’m going to sit down too, don’t just stand there, come enjoy the banquet with us!"

"Um... Okay." Lin Yi nodded his head, but in reality, he wasn’t in a hurry. After sitting down, he continued to observe the changes in the Rage Angels on the sports ground.

As time passed, those Rage Angels became increasingly irrational, but they did not attack each other. Instead, they just idly wasted away.

Before long, they started to change, their bodies becoming shriveled, and the pure contamination began to steam out from within them, merging into the Grey Mist, but stubbornly not assimilating, like oil separating from water.

With the forced stripping of their Supernatural Power, the bodies of the Rage Angels began to harden and wither, but a bizarre scene began to unfold...

When their bodies became sufficiently shriveled, their feathers began to contract, slowly becoming round and plump, the feathers on one wing turned into clusters of... eyeballs.

Each feather seemed to have turned into an eyeball, and the feathers on that pair of wings turned into a pair of flesh wings composed of who knows how many Big eyeballs.

Even more disturbing was that the roots of these eyeballs were covered in blood vessels, and these blood vessels twisted and grew along the framework of the wings like leaf veins.

If someone with trypophobia were here, seeing a cluster of Big eyeballs on the wings, their sanity might very well be wiped out on the spot.

Lin Yi also felt his scalp tingle; he had trypophobia and seeing those things now made him feel terrible all over.

But at this moment, a flash of insight struck his mind!

Previously when he was being watched by the Sneering Angel, he felt for some reason that the Sneering Angel who was facing away from him seemed to be staring at him, and now he thought, could it be because all those feathers were essentially Big eyeballs?!

"This...?"

He swallowed a gulp of saliva, then noticed that those eyeballs were still undergoing changes, fusing together one by one...

And the pure Supernatural Power within them, aside from dissipating from their withered bodies, was crazily surging into those eyeballs.

Ultimately, some of the eyeballs fused together to form a new eyeball, and the ones that had stacked before formed concentric circles of patterns on that eye.

"Wait... what is that?!"

Lin Yi’s pupils constricted sharply.

That final eyeball, he was all too familiar with—it was a "light bulb"!

The light bulbs from the lamp posts!

The "light bulb" that Mu Daxian initially extracted by bursting a streetlamp, was this kind of petrified eyeball!

No doubt about it, the eyeballs on that wing were still changing!

Lin Yi had no doubt that by the end of the smelting process in the Melting Furnace, those eyeballs on the wings would turn into ’light bulbs’!

Wow, so light bulbs are "produced" from here?!

He had felt that the light bulbs resembled eyeballs and had speculated whether they could be the eyes of the Angel Sculpture, but what he had never imagined was that while he was correct about the eyeballs, the details were off!

They were eyeballs, but not the ones on the head, rather the ones on the feathers at the back!

"No wonder the Nocturnal species and Pseudo-Human Sculptures skulk in the shadows behind us as we approach the lampposts, yet dare not get close. It’s because they’re seeking the Angel Sculpture, just like the Angel Sculpture seeks ’He-I’!"

They are all pursuing light that is higher in hierarchy than themselves, yet they hover around it like moths around a flame, unable to get too close.

And from a certain perspective, this also suggests that what the Pseudo-Humans are afraid of isn’t necessarily something that suppresses them; it could be their superior. Instead, entities unrelated to them like the Sports Student and the Art Student, they do not fear.

This is somewhat reminiscent of the workplace.

"What are you still doing standing there, looking around? With such a great opportunity, why not absorb more Supernatural Power?" A cold and authoritative voice rang in Lin Yi’s ears.

Lin Yi was shocked, looking around subconsciously, "Boss?!"

"Stop looking, get to the real work. An opportunity like this is rare."

"Oh..." Lin Yi quickly responded and found a spot beside Li Huiyuan to sit down.

Li Huiyuan, who was seriously "feasting," glanced at him. Her little face was expressionless, seeming to concentrate all her attention on absorbing the Contamination, but her little mouth corners couldn’t help but twitch occasionally...

But after sitting down, Lin Yi suddenly felt at a loss...

No one had told him how to start this ’Banquet’!

Could it be that one simply absorbs by breathing?

He sneakily glanced at Li Huiyuan, "How do I do this to absorb?"

Li Huiyuan whispered, "I don’t know either, as soon as I calm my mind I feel it starts to absorb automatically... maybe try relaxing a bit?"

"Okay."

After saying that, Li Huiyuan continued to absorb on her own, and Lin Yi also began to adjust his state.

Gradually, Lin Yi didn’t know what happened, but he truly calmed down, then, it was like he triggered some kind of ’Perception’ ability, and the environment around him dimmed substantially, allowing the subtly noticeable colors in the air to become rich and dazzling.

He began to see traces of aura flowing in the air, like numerous invisible hands waving brushes to paint, red, blue, green, grey, gold, black... Countless streams of aura intertwine, creating a highly Light-Polluted image.

Under the blanket of Grey Mist, the red, blue, and green colored auras were predominant, followed by yellow, with a small amount of black... For the time being, he had not perceived other colors.

Under the unique attributes of the Giant Dome furnace and the collective illumination of old kerosene lamps, the power of the Grey Mist was severely Suppressed. Originally it seemed to want to absorb all of the Supernatural Power, but now, it was forced to expel them, causing them to diffuse within the Giant Dome for all the students to absorb.

Lin Yi’s "vision" became clearer, he saw Sports Students actively attracting the Sky Blue Aura from the Grey Mist, while the Art Students were absorbing the green aura.

But as he continued to observe, he found that the Art Students weren’t just absorbing the green aura; they were also taking in the Grey Mist.

"No, not the Grey Mist..."

The color of the aura was wrong.

"It’s that white powder particulate!"

Because it was powdery particulate matter, it appeared somewhat similar to smog particles, and without close scrutiny, it could easily be confused.

"Wait, that white powder particulate seems to be..."

He looked towards the iron chain clusters draped in wisteria-like Grey Mist; on the chains, the Rage Angel Skeleton was attached with some sculpture-like flesh and blood that was difficult to peel off.
