Chapter 789: Chapter 363: The Bell Tower That Cannot Be Perceived!

Through the dense mist, Lin Yi could no longer make out the inscriptions on the Ancient Bell but could sense from the arrangement of the cuneiform script on its body and the logical depiction of the mysterious secret marks a terrifying, incomprehensible, indescribable presence.

It seemed to be engraved with some kind of ancient matrix, and just seeing the logic behind the arrangement of such text and secret marks evoked an uncontrollable palpitation, a taste of horror and fear that seemed to have penetrated into the soul.

Perhaps due to the existence of the Black Moon Outpost, it was impossible to rashly conclude the material of this ancient bell from appearance alone. The dark, navy hue of its texture felt like ancient meteorite iron, producing a sense of oppression just by looking at it.

The downpour thrashed, raindrops hit upon the ancient bell, making a dull "thud-thud" sound, which then dripped down the body of the bell and was torn into endless mist by the storm—this was how the water mist that Lin Yi encountered on this layer came to be.

The deluge washed over the Bell Tower, falling to the ground, producing a noisy patter of rain. Occasionally, gusts of wind swept the rain into the corridors like overlapping waves, hitting the stairs with crackling sounds.

"Just stay there, that’s the only safe place left." Old Mo’s voice traversed through the noise of the raging storm and reached Lin Yi’s ears as he gripped the hourglass and braved the downpour to reach the top.

Lin Yi wanted to follow Old Mo, but as he reached the stairs and intended to follow, he suddenly noticed that particles seemed to float out of Old Mo’s body as if being extinguished...

Whenever a strong wind carrying dense mist blew past, it was as if particles were being carried away from within Old Mo, a scene strikingly similar to the vanishing of the Rage Angel roasted to death by the old kerosene lamp in "Banquet."

Just then, a breeze brushed gently across his skin as it wound through the steps.

"Tsk—"

Lin Yi instinctively drew his arms close, touching the skin that had been brushed by the wind.

On his skin, a small cut was slowly healing...

"This...?!"

"Just a touch of wind that seeped through cut open my skin?!"

"So that means Old Mo over there... is really vanishing!"

Lin Yi was alarmed and did not dare to approach the stairs any closer.

But if a normal person were here, their first reaction would certainly not be Lin Yi’s. They would probably look at Lin Yi’s self-healing arm as if seeing a ghost, blurting out, "Oh my god, brother, your hand got cut but not a drop of blood is flowing?"

But Lin Yi really didn’t consider this issue, or rather, no matter how Boss squashed him into a human sorbitol during PE class, he still believed he was a "person," although this "person," aside from "himself and Wei Liang thinking he is a person," "possessing human moral standards and behavioral logic," was hardly like a person at all.

Or perhaps, he had already instinctively adapted to his own characteristics of "being a person yet different from other people."

Regardless, his deepest anchor point seems to be—’human.’

A living ’human.’

He tilted his head back, trying to see more from a "safe" location, but he couldn’t find neither the Night Watchman’s position nor Mu Daxian’s.

There was only one flight of stairs between them, but those spiraling up effectively hid that portion of the view.

He really wanted to see what was happening above...

He really wanted to!

Just when his heart burgeoned with a strong ’Perception Desire’...

"Hum..."

An invisible ripple slowly expanded outwards from him.

Like a drop of water falling on a calm black lake, the ripples began to spread.

The structure of the Bell Tower began to reveal itself before him in a different form...

"Is this ’Field of View Insight’?!" Lin Yi exclaimed excitedly in his heart.

While "My World" and "Field of View Insight" were extremely brilliant, the activation of these two skills were not at all under his personal control.

Especially "My World," which had only triggered a handful of times since its awakening, genuinely encapsulating the current world.

"Field of View Insight" was pretty decent, but also extremely limited.

The last time in the Giant Dome, where he sneaked repairs on The City Wall, was brought about by the cooperative effect of "My World" and "Field of View Insight."

However, since he arrived in the layer where the Art Building stood, these two skills seemed to have been suppressed and went limp.

And now, a resplendent golden flame rose in his eyes, and the spreading vision began to take over everything he could see.

"Field of View Insight," launch! Launch!!

Lin Yi rejoiced wildly in his heart.

Soon, his entire world felt as if it had turned into that pitch-dark scene, and the ground beneath his feet started to transform into a grid constructed from countless glowing white lines, crisscrossing much like a computer scan.

It’s a pity that the architectural structure of the Bell Tower did not undergo any changes, or else, he could have deduced the structure of Black Moon Outpost just as he had extrapolated the inter-layer connections of "Gymnasium-Giant Dome-The City Wall."

Now it seems, the Black Moon Outpost, indeed designed by Amon, had a stable relationship between its frameworks, showing no sign of distortion.

But not long after this thought emerged, his otherwise invincible ’Perception Scan’ began to run into big problems and fell into logical disarray. Though the structure of the Bell Tower seemed stable, a terrible change occurred barely three meters out as he expanded his perception.
