Chapter 764: Chapter 352: The Overwritten Art Building Hall (Extra 1000 Words)

"Old Mo... I feel like something is watching us..." Lin Yi felt uneasy, traversing this place, he wasn’t nauseated by the dim and oppressive environment, but the feeling of being watched gave him an eerie chill down his spine.

It’s hard to imagine how difficult their situation would be if Lin Yi weren’t following Old Mo, or if Old Mo didn’t have a prop similar to an oil lamp in his hand.

"Feeling of being watched...?" Old Mo pondered for a moment, "I haven’t sensed anything... Ah, your induction is stronger than mine, you even pinpointed the location of the Art Building, what kind of feeling is it? Is there a threat?"

Something even Old Mo hadn’t sensed? Lin Yi was immediately startled and quickly relayed his uneasy feeling.

However, after listening, Old Mo furrowed his brows and fell silent for a long time before saying: "It might be... sculptures."

"Sculptures...?" Such a long-forgotten term, it even sounded foreign to Lin Yi, "What kind of sculptures? They’re not ordinary sculptures, are they?"

If they were ordinary sculptures, Old Mo wouldn’t have such a grave expression.

Old Mo shook his head: "A very ancient type of sculpture, or rather, at that time there wasn’t the concept of ’sculpture’ yet. You see, many conceptual definitions are reinforcements of cognition by later generations."

Old Mo added: "Let’s go, you’ll see them soon enough... The situation will be a bit complicated, just ignore their existence."

Soon, a white glow appeared in front of them, a visual disparity that inevitably happens when looking from a dark place to a bright one, and Lin Yi knew that must be the Art Building Hall, adorned with candleholders and chandeliers.

As they approached the hall, the wind grew stronger; this was the Venturi effect, but it also indicated that the supposedly sealed Art Building had one or several wind inlets.

"Seems like the situation really isn’t that optimistic..." Lin Yi’s ominous premonition grew stronger. The last time Maozi was here, there was abnormal weather too, with wind and rain, but it wasn’t as dire as it is now.

But then again, so far, he had only seen the purebred nocturnal species and the Sneering Angel. Could it be that the Grey Mist Invasion was only this much?

"Old Mo... What exactly is the Grey Mist Invasion?" Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask.

Old Mo paused: "Aren’t all these things you’re seeing part of the Grey Mist Invasion?"

"Just these?"

"’Just these’?" Old Mo couldn’t help but scoff, "Don’t forget you’re still a frog just because you’re used to the loftiness of the sky. A frog that leaves the well is just a frog from outside the well instead of the bottom, its nature remains the same..."

"You think it’s simple because I’m here, and because it’s here..."

Old Mo raised the chain of big eyeballs in his hand.

"Without these..."

He casually tossed the glowing big eyeballs out.

The shining big eyeballs, like signal flares thrown into a deep well, advanced forward, dispersing the purebred nocturnal species hidden in the gloom with their light. But as the big eyeballs left his hand, the dim environment suddenly closed in like a quagmire, and the purebred nocturnal species lurking in the shadows finally revealed their greedy desire and intense killing intent towards Lin Yi and Old Mo...

"Shasha shasha... shasha shasha... shasha shasha..."

Like humanoid spiders, they quickly scuttled across the corridor walls, surging towards Old Mo and Lin Yi.

"Old Mo!" Lin Yi exclaimed in shock.

"Stay calm."

With Old Mo’s hoarse voice, an invisible domain expanded, and Lin Yi, at the center of the domain, suddenly felt an uncomfortable sensation as if a transcendental power was forcibly extracted from within him. The purebred nocturnal species rushing towards them seemed to be burdened with a super-strong gravity, and were harshly pressed to the ground.

"Thud thud thud..."

Large numbers of purebred nocturnal species smashed onto the ground, continuously emitting green powder particles from their bodies, all flowing into Old Mo...

Old Mo walked forward to retrieve the big eyeballs he had thrown.

The warm light enveloped them again, but Lin Yi’s back was already covered in cold sweat.

"See that?" Old Mo said with a sneering smile, "Relative safety... is built upon absolute strength."

"Gurgle..."

Lin Yi glanced out of the corner of his eye at the wrinkled sculpture that had almost landed at his feet, as if it had been drained of all its blood, swallowed a mouthful of saliva silently, and nodded.

Old Mo glanced at the Sneering Angels who ignored the walls of the Art Building’s corridors, wispy and ethereal, and muttered: "Didn’t fool them... looks like they’ve learned their lesson."

"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"I just spotted a Sneering Angel holding a lantern."

"A Sneering Angel with a lantern? Is there a significance?" Lin Yi knew, that was the Dormitory Supervisor transformed into a Sneering Angel.

Old Mo said: "That’s the key to your return to the campus area."

Lin Yi was shocked, deducing from cause to effect, he ventured a guess: "Could it be that you want to transform them back into the Dormitory Supervisor, and then have the Supervisor lead me out?"

Old Mo gave Lin Yi a surprised look, his gaze strange for the first time, with an air of ’Chang Wei, you say you don’t know martial arts?’ "The hell... do you know too much?"

Even Old Mo couldn’t help but blurt out a curse.

"Eh... I... no..." Lin Yi quickly explained the chase of the Sneering Angel in the Gymnasium and how Mr. Wang intervened to "revert it back to its original form," "...and so, that’s how I know!"
