Chapter 808: Chapter 372: Rapidly Changing Vision_2

"Are... you... looking... for... me...?"

The little girl held "Amon’s Music Box" in her hands, appearing in a dim corner, where on the wall beside her hung a painting steeped in a dark style. The painting depicted an endless wilderness under a black sky, where a black sun hung high, and at the far fringes seemed to be a castle, with crooked and askew tombstones puncturing the boundless wilderness...

Mist wandered ceaselessly on the ground, coiling around his ankles like serpents—as though it was merely perception, yet he felt as if he was about to be trapped here, with an indistinct rancid odor seething all around, as if hiding some long-dead secret...

"Repeater boy! Get away from there!"

Just as he was drawn by the little girl’s nursery rhyme, and his consciousness was about to give rise to the thought "I am going to be left behind", the Night Watchman’s voice ascended several notches, turning from a narration-like voice into a tidal wave of sonorous sound, causing a bizarre change in his vision. His consciousness was like being disturbed by a brazen force, forcibly yanked away from the gallery...

"Night Watchman? Did you save me?" Lin Yi was both shocked and overjoyed, breathing a sigh of relief as if he had narrowly escaped a calamity.

The Night Watchman’s voice quickly submerged, without further response, and Lin Yi’s vision once again expanded with the surging sound waves...

He saw another painting, where the colors of the paintings seemed particularly eerie under the dim light. One depicted a desolate graveyard with tombstones fallen in disarray, the sky a blood-red color, and the dark clouds like the claws of a demon. There was no one in the painting, but Lin Yi felt he was being watched, that persistent gaze moving as his consciousness did, fixating on him wherever he went...

The paintings were surrounded by black shadows, which seemed to have a life of their own, continuously writhing and expanding in the mist...

He then saw a winding, twisted corridor, where moving through it seemed to give his consciousness weight; the wooden floor beneath his feet emitted a chilling "creak, creak" sound, as though moving atop the decayed planks of a coffin, each step seeming to awaken evil spirits slumbering below.

On both sides of the corridor were sculptures, whose expressions were distorted and deformed; some appeared to be screaming in agony, while others seemed to emit ferocious, sinister laughter...

At the end of the corridor or rather at the edge of his vision stood a huge humanoid statue; what should be graceful human figures were, in this eerie atmosphere, like cursed souls, covered in strange patterns as if they were traces of erosion by some evil force...

His vision blurred yet clarified, he saw the depths of an unknown place, which seemed to be a separate little room, and as his consciousness moved, his vision promptly infiltrated the room...

Upon entering, Lin Yi was stunned; it turned out to be a very warm and cute bedroom, a completely different world compared to the grim corridors outside.

The entire bedroom was filled with warm hues and adorable decorations; the walls were painted a soft pink and baby blue, like flowers blooming under the blue sky in spring; a petite bed in the center of the room had a fluffy white bedspread embroidered with many cute patterns of little rabbits and bears.

On the chair beside the bed sat a large white plush bear, properly placed there, facing the direction of the door.

However, before he could take in more, a kind of indescribable strangeness spread from the depths of his heart. Meanwhile, the Night Watchman’s voice arose at his ear, somewhat rushed but faint, as if through a thick layer of soundproof glass...

At the same time, he noticed a cute picture frame sitting on the bedroom desk, and inside that frame...

It was a cartoonish Dark Forest, very cute but with an indefinable chilling sensation...

"Repeater boy!"

"Repeater boy!!"

The Night Watchman’s voice grew louder, finally yanking him out of the bedroom as Lin Yi’s consciousness approached the desk.

When Lin Yi was pulled away, it felt as though countless threads emerged in his consciousness. These threads, sticky like lotus fibers, clung to the bedroom, as if deeply drawn in. Even his consciousness seemed to stretch out like elastic, becoming very long...

But in the end, his consciousness was perfectly stripped away from the bedroom.

He tried calling out to the Night Watchman a few times, but the Night Watchman uncharacteristically did not respond to his calls.

His vision continued to change, and he saw an ancient and mysterious well. The interior of the well was lined with wet, cold moss, like a green garment deposited over the years, emitting a smell of rotting and briny mixture...

The mouth of the well extended into the endless darkness, like a massive, greedy maw opened by the earth. Looking down from the top of the well, one could only see thick darkness, alive as if slowly writhing, as though it could swallow any living thing that approached.

From deep within the well, a deep and continuous sound of ocean waves could be heard, "Woosh— Woosh— Woosh—", wave after wave, incessantly beating against a certain stone wall of the deep well. The sound was low and oppressive, mixed with the whining of the wind, like roaring, like bellowing, making his soul tremble.

A cold feedback sensation emerged in his consciousness. He couldn’t see the water, but the surrounding sounds seemed to display everything within his perception. He discovered that within the misty and profound darkness, there seemed to be a murky, silt-laden, and rotting black liquid, oozing like mucus, slowly creeping up the well walls and moss, leaving behind slimy traces on the stones, reminiscent of the marks left by a giant sea monster after its passing.

"Woosh— Woosh— Woosh—"

The sound of the waves was unending, and within the mist, there seemed to arise the clashing sounds of metal, as if something was entrenched at the bottom of the well. Part of it sank into the sea, while another part still lingered in the well, rubbing its body against the well’s inner walls, occasionally letting out a "squeak, squeak" sound that was transmitted upwards mixed with the wind...

It was as if he heard a summoning voice, deep and hoarse, like many years of not drinking water, the voice dragged out the dry and shriveled vocal cords, sounding like the rustling of a rattlesnake slithering, or the sound of dry leaves scraped across the concrete...

Just as the summoning voice was about to reach his perception, he was pulled away again, and his vision changed once more.

This time, he saw an endless staircase, with Art Students moving about. Among the hurried and intersecting myriad of figures, he spotted Mao Feiyang’s silhouette...

"Maozi!"

Lin Yi was overjoyed, as Maozi had previously appeared in the vastness of the Gymnasium and now appeared here.

He observed his surroundings and shockingly found that this passageway was extremely similar to the one that Maozi had previously traversed.

"Could this passageway be the one connecting the Art Building and the Gymnasium at the layer level?"

"The very path Boss mentioned about hurrying to the Art Building?"

Just as he called out Maozi’s name, Mao Feiyang’s body suddenly shuddered, as if he heard his voice!

Seeing Mao Feiyang’s reaction, Lin Yi was overjoyed, knowing this was the first time Maozi heard his voice after being separated upon entering the school!

Realizing this, he quickly came to, this might be one of the rare moments he could pass a message to Maozi!

"Only a second or two, think quickly about what to say!" Lin Yi suddenly became anxious, during this unstable vision that could switch at any moment, he must convey the most crucial information to him!
