Chapter 731: Chapter 337 Road’s Second Order, "Safe Boundary

Old Mo nodded: "Da Vinci is still the founding father of sculpture in the Art Department... Thinking about this, do you feel more balanced?"

Balanced my ass... I’m even more unbalanced now! Lin Yi was sweating profusely, thinking about how those guys mentioned in the textbooks from back then are becoming more and more mysterious.

But to be fair, no wonder those Renaissance artists who started the enlightenment not only painted well but were also experts in both sculpture and architecture. It turns out the subject of ’Art’ has never been as simple as it seems!

Now Lin Yi was even beginning to doubt whether the existence of the Louvre was what was referred to as the so-called ’Gallery’ in the Art Building?

Filled with masterpieces of art masters, and each piece... are they all bearing Supernatural Traits comparable to an old kerosene lamp?

On the surface, it appears as "Mona Lisa’s smile", but in reality, for the Nocturnal species, it’s the "Smile of Death"?

Old Mo continued to enlighten: "’Heliocentrism’... it was initially proposed by the Angel Envoys, but at that time... never mind, this knowledge point is too advanced. Anyway, the initial concept of ’Heliocentrism’ was an exploration of the Roots of Contamination by the Angel Envoys, but it accidentally spread out, different from the later developed concepts of ’Heliocentrism’."

"The scientific ’Heliocentrism’ was merely a big event intentionally manipulating public opinion to form a corresponding ’Anchor.’"

Old Mo was eloquently sharing knowledge, even feeling a bit excited about the science, while Lin Yi started occasionally glancing at his watch.

Old Mo wasn’t in a hurry, but he was getting somewhat anxious.

Not for any other reason but because Old Mo kept on explaining without moving from the spot, even now.

"Um... Old Mo." Lin Yi couldn’t help calling out to Old Mo.

Old Mo turned around: "What’s up?"

Lin Yi wiped some sweat and asked softly: "Although I don’t quite understand, I still want to ask audaciously, don’t we need to move? I mean, after we left the Return to Sea Tide, are we just going to wait here like this?"

Old Mo had said "Follow me" earlier and plunged with him into the fog, but they didn’t go far before circling back, almost as if they had gone out on a patrol.

Hearing this, Old Mo’s eyes slightly curved, and he nodded: "That’s right, we just need to wait like this."

"Oh?"

"You can think of it this way; inside a machine, despite many parts running, there are some things whose positions are fixed and unchanging, like the basic framework, or, for example, the framework’s... screws."

Old Mo dropped the twig in his hand and gently touched the incomplete red paint numbers on the abandoned lamp post.

"These lamp posts... are ’screws’?!" Lin Yi exclaimed.

Old Mo’s mouth twitched: "Cough... I was just praising your comprehension skills, how come you used such a simplistic metaphor now?"

"Uh..." Lin Yi awkwardly touched the back of his head.

"They used to be," Old Mo said, "but since the Black Moon Outpost went through Doomsday cleaning, they’ve been discarded... I’m not trying to say these lamp posts are those things with the framework and fixed points, but to guide you to think..."

"Besides those things, there is another kind of thing... that also accumulates with the existence of framework and fixed points."

Lin Yi’s brow furrowed tightly, he could envision a precise instrument, but couldn’t think of anything else that fits what Old Mo was describing because the word "framework" included too much.

Seeing Lin Yi couldn’t figure it out, Old Mo said: "You are good at thinking, but still influenced by stereotypes... I’ll just tell you directly."

Lin Yi pursed his lips, nodding seriously.

Old Mo slowly uttered two words: "’Dust’."

"Dust...?" Lin Yi’s pupils shook violently, his mind exploding!

"As the machine operates, some dust will slowly be blown to the corners, and if not cleaned, will become cobwebs and other dirt."

"These discarded lamp posts, they become the dust."

"When they are discarded, they drift along, eventually like floating trash pushed by water to a stable dead-end, these discarded lamp posts, to the Green Forest Belt, are like floating trash to a river."

Lin Yi took a deep cool breath: "Are we... unable to find the framework, so we picked the relatively easier-to-find dust?"

Old Mo patted his shoulder: "You caught on quickly, the campus’s framework is divided into many layers, some near the surface are relatively easy to find, but the inner layers involving the Art Building are very difficult to find."

"Don’t mention finding frameworks, even finding screws is too hard."

"So, I took the next best thing, using dust to determine an area, and this area is roughly where the screws might exist."

Lin Yi understood, but still asked: "But what does this have to do with the road’s Second Order?"

Old Mo looked into the misty depths, saying profoundly: "I do not watch the mountain, the mountain comes to me."

"Uh...?"

"We’re close now, look over there." Old Mo gently raised his hand, signaling Lin Yi to look ahead.

Following Old Mo’s pointing, Lin Yi quickly shifted his gaze forward, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Is that...?"
