Chapter 374 "Star Observatory"
What kind of information is critical enough?
time?
space?
Layers?
Or...
Lin Yi suddenly had an idea, and thousands of words converged into one sentence——
"Maozi, I'm here to save you!"
While he was walking down the stairs in the corridor with many art students, his hair was flying, his body suddenly shook, and then, his eyes flashed with some brilliance that was not in line with his temperament.
He seemed to be in a state of ecstasy and started talking in his sleep:
"Everything...according to plan..."
"It's not yet... it's time..."
Lin Yi was shocked: "What...?!"
However, before he could get more information, his vision fluctuated again, and he lost contact with Mao Zi...
"Maozi, he... no, we, indeed have a plan!" Lin Yi's eyes showed surprise and complex understanding, "I am the only one who doesn't know about this plan..."
"But speaking of which, is Ryoko part of our plan?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but fell into a trance, and just after this moment of trance, his vision changed again, and this time it was even more outrageous. He seemed to have seen...
An island.
If it weren't for the yellow-brown building materials unique to the Art Building, he would have thought that his consciousness had been pushed overseas by the airwaves from the "Temple".
Everything here is made of huge yellow-brown rocks. Each stone carries the traces of time. The rough surface is covered with moss and mottled cracks, as if telling stories of the past. It stands high in the sky. The highest point of Black Moon Outpost is so close to the sky that it seems you can touch it...
"Wait... this is it?!"
He actually saw the clock tower on this "isolated island"? !
The bell tower is the highest place in the entire art building, but it seems that it is not the only place. This mysterious island is almost as high as the bell tower, but on the other side of the art building, it is an extremely vast open-air platform, lingering around An atmosphere of silence and depth.
Deck?
wrong!
Where can there be an open-air platform during a storm?
Sure enough, he discovered that the platform was not open-air, but had a completely transparent dome. Outside the dome was the oppressive sky. Groups of smiling angels were flying in the night sky, waiting for opportunities to invade the huge invisible cover of the Art Building. ——The art building's defenses were actually in place. Lin Yi realized that the only way for the intruders to invade the art building "slightly smoothly" was through the three stone bridges connecting the observatory to the art building.
In addition to the stone bridge, the invisible cover formed a terrifying force field that resisted a large number of Laughing Angels.
"No...that invisible force field!"
The force field, one after another, created some strange resonance with the fluctuations of his consciousness.
Of course he knows that this has nothing to do with him, because the source of this fluctuation of air waves is the "Temple"!
The area formed by the "Temple", just the edge of the air wave, forms a super protective shield to protect the entire art building!
Incredible!
"This is the work of 'designer' Amon!"
Lin Yi also discovered that the nocturnal species that had crawled all over the outer wall of the art building did not appear around the dome. It seemed that it had not spread to this place yet?
No, the bell tower with the giant quantum clock "Temple" has been invaded. How come there is no movement here?
There must be something fishy!
He quickly looked around him and found an open and closed iron door. What was strange was that when he looked at the iron door, his consciousness penetrated and saw a narrow and winding stone staircase with two sides. Several candlesticks emitting faint light were hung on the side wall. The dim lights swayed in the wind, casting distorted shadows on the wall...
He withdrew his attention, looked at the spacious platform, and then noticed a huge bronze armillary sphere not far away.
The armillary sphere had long been corroded, and the patina all over its body showed a dark green color under the dim light. Its gears and rings were intricately structured, as if it were a forgotten time machine.
It is like an artifact that has been eroded by time, waiting for the person who can polish it again.
It stands there quietly, as if adhering to its ancient mission and peering into the mysteries of the universe...
"Is this... an armillary sphere? Is this the mysterious 'star observatory' in the art building?!"
According to Lao Mo, the observatory has long been closed to the public. Even art students who want to come here need certain qualifications!
Did he really see the observatory?
So if that’s the case, wouldn’t “Starry Moon Night” also be here? !
The edge of the observatory is surrounded by a circle of waist-high stone pillars. The stone pillars are carved with various mysterious patterns, totems and mysterious symbols. These mysterious trajectories form patterns of constellations.
However, these carvings have become blurred under the baptism of time, and the lines of the constellations seem to be pulled and twisted by dark forces. The star patterns that originally symbolized hope and guidance now reveal an indescribable weirdness.
In the center of the observatory, there is a huge circular stone platform. The stone platform is engraved with ancient runes. These runes emit a faint blue light, like a response from the distant starry sky...
< br>
Although the wind and clouds are roaring and the gray fog is invading, the circular stone platform is still gathering starlight. Under the clouds, a few rays of light penetrated from nowhere and fell on the circular stone platform...
Lin Yi was immediately fascinated. In the starlight, there seemed to be a whisper from the depths of the universe...
His consciousness slowly floated to the center of the observatory, and his perception spread through here. The entire world was shrouded in darkness, with only the distant stars shining faintly.
This observatory is like a bridge connecting this layer with an unknown starry sky layer, and it is also like a cursed place, full of mystery and unknown fear...
【…Sto…re…stjer…ner…】
【St...ore...stjer...ner...】
【Store...stjer...ner...】
He seemed to hear some kind of call, like a Taoist boy hearing the Taoist voice that had been passed down through the ages, and his soul trembled.
He seemed to sense an interference coming from the layer. He didn't even realize it. As soon as his consciousness came close to this place, he seemed to be deeply attracted. He didn't feel anything exactly yet, as if he had been attracted by it. Caught. He almost forgot that he was in the observatory and forgot everything. It seemed that only the starry sky and the call from the depths of the starry sky were left in his consciousness.
Just when he was about to sink, his vision changed strangely, and his consciousness seemed to be disturbed by a brute force and was dragged away from that place.
"This...I...?! Just now...?" Lin Yi was startled, and when he suddenly woke up, his soul trembled because of fear.
"The observatory is not a place where you can stay right now..." The night watchman's narration-like voice sounded in his heart.
"Is that really a star observatory? Is it the starry sky or the pollution caused by "Starry Moon Night" that wants to keep me there?"
"On the contrary, "Starry Moon Night" has always been there. It was your consciousness that sensed the existence of "Starry Moon Night", so you tried to stay there... No one can resist the impact of "Starry Moon Night", including you now."
"Then can I watch it in the future?"
"Let's talk about the future."
The horizon gradually faded, and the air wave pushed to the end.
Ten seconds passed, and Lin Yi's consciousness, which seemed to have been torn into countless pieces, quietly gathered again and condensed at the bell tower.
"The time has come." The night watchman's voice sounded. "In order to take care of you, I delayed this wave of air for half a minute."
"Half a minute...?" Lin Yi glanced at his watch. The current time was only 2:24.
"It's really only half a minute... half a minute, so long?" Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, "I clearly know that the push of the air wave will only last ten seconds, but when my consciousness spreads out with the air wave , but I forgot the passage of time..."
"Even now that I'm back, I feel like a long time has passed..."
"'Time' is like this. The more detailed the perception, the more subtle the passage of time will be felt." The night watchman said, "When your perception is sensitive to a certain extent, when you release the perception, something will happen." An illusion that time is frozen... This is the relativity of time.”
"Moreover, there are some completely opposite situations. You think only a moment has passed, but in fact it has been sinking for many years. Dream builders have been lost in layers of dreams, and there are many situations in the past."
Lin Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, but it seemed to be a matter of focus. He didn't even notice that his wrist with the watch only had two hand bones that looked like they were made of gold. The sky-blue breath was like It was the nanomaterials that were constantly moving on his hand bones, causing his flesh and blood to regenerate quickly.
And he... has even shielded himself from the pain of separation of flesh and blood.
The infusion of "Temple" air waves destroyed his physical body, leaving only the muscles, bones, and heart that had been "tempered" while climbing the steps.
Lao Mo, who was in the distance, saw the whole absurd and weird scene that appeared on Lin Yi, and opened his mouth in shock. His expression seemed to say, what kind of monster did I bring here along the way? !
Of course, there seemed to be a bit of regret in his eyes - such a fun thing was wasted for the night watchmen. I should have known that more development would have been done along the way...
The night watchman calmly observed the changes in every inch of Lin Yi's flesh and blood, and then asked: "Didn't you see something weird? Are there one or two that made you feel strongly uneasy or restless?"
< br>
"Too many..." Lin Yi said weakly.
"Well, it's okay if you don't have it. After all...wait a minute, what did you say?!" The night watchman's comforting words just came to his lips. He also wanted Lin Yi to accept the washing of the "Temple" again if he really couldn't do it, but he didn't. Do you think Lin Yi talks too much?
Lin Yi said slowly: "There were a few times in the middle when I felt like I was going to be left behind, and then I seemed to be brought out by you. I felt that there were big problems in those places..."
"If you think that the item you are looking for is in a place that I think is special, then it should be in one of those places."
"Several times...?" The night watchman pondered, and then denied, "No, it's just that this level is not enough."
"Isn't this enough?"
"When you are building a dream, sinking is a normal thing. In addition, it is your first time, so there are naturally many dangers... But the item I am looking for must be very easy to distinguish for you. , if you think about it carefully, has this happened? ”
"I..." Lin Yi began to think, and finally took a breath with difficulty, "You pulled me out many times, did you feel anything at any time?"
The night watchman said: "For you, it is time and time again, but for me, you have only passed 'half a minute'. In this half minute, you are sinking with almost every breath, and I am making noises the whole time." Awaken your edge and use the air waves of the "Temple" to interfere with your sinking. ”
"To you, I may have saved you many times, but in my opinion, I only saved you once."
"So I need you to identify it yourself. Is there a most special time?"
"There are quite a few words on special occasions, but when it comes to 'most'..." Lin Yi muttered in a muffled voice, "At that time at the observatory... I felt very special..."
"Star observatory?" asked the night watchman, "Tell me in detail."
"I saw an armillary sphere full of patina..."
"The Armillary Sphere... it was designed jointly by the "Artist" and Lord Amon. It is not the object I am looking for. Remember, it is an object. At least, in your perception, it is an 'object' The appearance is presented. ”
"It must be an 'item'..." Lin Yi scratched his bald head. Originally, he wanted to talk about the round stone platform that collects starlight, but it seems that it is not the case. "It can't be "Starry Moon Night", right?"
"Of course not."
"Then I won't mention it..."
"What about what's beyond the observatory?"
"Outside the observatory..." Lin Yi recalled the sights that almost killed him, "I saw a deep well covered with moss. What seems to be below it?"
Hearing the word "deep well", the night watchman hesitated for a moment, and then said: "What is buried there? It is very useful, but it is not what I am looking for."
"What's buried over there?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
"Answer my question first... Where are the other places?" The night watchman seemed not to want to answer and avoided the question.
Lin Yi's curiosity increased, but he still started to think about it. For some reason, he seemed to be avoiding that bedroom subconsciously.
It wasn't until he stroked it again that he suddenly clapped his hands: "Hey, I thought of it!"
"It seems like there is a bedroom!"
"'Bedroom'?" The night watchman's voice seemed to fluctuate slightly, "What kind of bedroom?"
"It's just a small bedroom that is very pink and blue, and there is a big white bear rag doll in it." Lin Yi described the scene he saw, "It looks like a little girl's bedroom..."
The night watchman's breathing became heavier: "Is there a painting hanging on the wall?"
