Chapter 37 The Call of the Art Building
X023, May 7, 13:24, Building B, Teaching Building.
Lin Yi stood in front of the steps like a sculpture. His eyes were focused on the moss in the gaps between the steps, but his eyes were empty, as if his soul had been taken away.
"There is indeed moss, there is indeed moss..." He kept mumbling this sentence over and over again, not knowing what he was thinking.
A gentle breeze blew out from the foothills around the campus and slowly brushed against his ears. The sound of forest leaves rustled. For a moment, it was unclear whether it was the sound of leaves or waves. The sound of waves crashing against the reef...
"Wow, wow, wow..."
"Wow, wow...bang~"
"Wow-bang!"
"Wow-bang!"
Lin Yi was in a trance for a while, his pupils began to dilate, and the focus of his eyes became blurred...
Only a piece of dark green moss stained with mud remained in his field of vision, and the moss... gradually became distorted.
"Wow - bang!"
The sound of the waves was still there, as if it was in his ears.
"Hula la——"
The breeze in the foothills suddenly became wild and hunting, tearing his clothes crazily like pairs of hands.
He became like a man standing on the cusp of the storm, as if he could embrace the sea with open arms.
"Wow--wow--"
The waves are getting bigger and bigger, and the light of the sun above Lin Yi's head is getting darker and darker. A terrible storm is gathering above his head, and the storm seems to be coming. advent.
"Boom--ka!!!"
A pure white thunder appeared in the storm, like someone struck the sky with a giant axe, and a huge crack appeared in the sky.
Lin Yi was awakened by the thunder. He looked up and looked at the crack...
"?!" His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly.
The thunder solidified in front of him, the storm stood still in front of him, and the torn sky looked like a picture traced in the depths of the sky in front of him...
Like It was as if someone had grabbed a corner of the scroll and tore it off with all his strength. The broken blank space formed that frozen thunder.
Behind the broken pictures, he saw a bell tower, he saw a campus, and he saw a person standing on the campus looking up to the sky, that was...
he.
He stood in front of the teaching building.
He is looking up at the sky.
He was looking down at the moss.
He didn't know what he was doing, but his eyes were looking at "him" at this moment...
"I...?!"
Lin Yi felt an unprecedented sense of dizziness, as if he were overlooking the earth from the clouds, or like he was hanging upside down on a cliff and staring into the abyss.
He opened his mouth wide, and there was already a storm in his heart.
"That's me?"
"Then who am I?!"
"That's the teaching building...then...where am I?!"
He stumbled back and looked at his hands in panic.
The skin on his hands is a little dark, and his wrists are a little thinner than "his". Judging from the palms alone, he is a somewhat thin person.
"Wait, my clothes...?"
Lin Yi noticed his cuffs. This was a very loose yellow sweater. He was not wearing it, but it was There is an indescribably familiar feeling.
He grabbed the piece of cloth on his chest and pulled it up, making sure again that it was not his clothes.
He touched his face.
The face is a bit square.
People are also a bit smart.
"I...why am I not me?"
He looked at the broken pictures with horror and fear, looking through the blankness of the thunder, staring at the campus in the blank, looking for "himself" in front of the teaching building on the campus...
"Waiting Wait...?"
"That teaching building...!!"
He suddenly noticed something!
「One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...eight!」
"Eight floors!"
"Eight floors of teaching building!!"
[The teaching building only has four floors, now there are four more floors? ! 】
"Me! Where am I...am I dreaming?!"
Lin Yi looked around.
Surrounding him... was a castle-like building full of Gothic style.
The sharp tower, the arc top covered with colorful prism glass, the dark bell tower, the dim moonlight, and... the night crow squatting on the top of the bell tower.
"I...in a castle?"
"Rumble--"
The storm swirled high in the sky, and thunder rumbled within the storm.
"Wow - wow -"
The waves beneath his feet were constantly washing over the reef.
He rushed to the moss-covered cold blue-gray bricks of the castle, stretched out his neck and looked down.
A cliff.
This damn castle is built on a damn cliff.
Beneath the steep moss-covered cliffs lies a reef filled with water vapor and mist.
Beyond the reef...
It is a sea shrouded in dark gray fog.
He found that there seemed to be a quagmire at the junction of the reef and the cliff. The fishy, nauseating taste that mixed with the sea breeze and poured into his mouth came from that quagmire.
Obviously there was a terrifying distance, but he could still clearly see the smelly fish, rotten shrimps, crab shells and fish bones piled up in the quagmire...
"Gudu..."
He swallowed and stumbled back.
"Click...Click!"
An easel was knocked over by him, and the drawing board and paint fell to the floor.
He looked around hastily and suddenly found a large number of rough words painted with yellow paint on the brick walls of the castle.
In a dim environment, such words are incompatible with the atmosphere.
The twisted text and the rough lines outline what seems to be...
[Welcome to the Art Building. 】
Lin Yi's pupils shrank to the size of a needle's eye at this moment, and a cyclone rushed wildly inside his body, and then poured into his head, leaving his brain blank.
「Art Building!」
"This is...the art building?!"
"I'm in...the art building?!"
Already dizzy, he felt a strong feeling in his heart. A feeling told him he was here.
"No, no, no, no!!!!"
"I'm not in the art building! I'm in front of the teaching building, I just finished eating, I... I just returned to the classroom with Ryoko! 》
He kept recalling everything. He raised his head and looked at the sky, trying to find the blank space in the sky that was torn apart by thunder!
He felt like a ship about to be blown out of the harbor by the storm, and he needed to drop his own anchor hard.
But the gloom lingered in the gloomy sky, the moonlight filled the brick walls of the castle, and the cold breath made the limbs chill.
There is neither storm nor thunder in the sky.
"How... could this happen?" His head felt swollen and painful, and something was about to break through his head.
Icy breath came from all directions, and the white sea fog spread up from under the cliff, embracing him.
He touched the color palette that fell to the ground.
He saw the picture that fell to the ground.
The picture shows a bell tower shrouded in a storm, with thunder tearing apart half of the sky.
The broken painting was the sky he saw.
Deep in the sky... is the campus of City S University.
A sentence came into his mind:
"When you stare into the abyss...the abyss will swallow you up."
He muttered to himself, his eyes panicked , his vision drifted left and right, faster and faster.
"I..."
Just when the mist was about to embrace him, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then slowly squatted down and whispered firmly:
< br>"I'm in front of the teaching building."
"My name is Lin Yi..."
"My student number is X0230506098..."
"I am in front of the teaching building."
"My name is Lin Yi..."
"My student number is X0230506098..."
"I am in front of the teaching building ..."
He squatted down and touched a sticky and wet thing with his fingers...
He opened his eyes.
Teaching Building B, at the foot of the steps, Lin Yi squatted down and touched the moss with his fingers.
"I... am in front of the teaching building." He murmured, his tone soft but firm.
He looked at the moss firmly, and in the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be some luster that faded away.
"Old...Old Lin?" Wei Liang's trembling voice sounded behind him.
Wei Liang's hand is hanging in the air, giving people a feeling of hesitation as he wants to take a picture but dare not.
"Are you...are you okay?"
He gently put his hand on Lin Yi's shoulder, feeling the warmth from Lin Yi's shoulder to the palm of his hand. , he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh..."
"I...have a little trouble." Lin Yi immediately realized something was wrong and said, "But it's okay now."
"As long as it's okay, it's okay." Wei Liang patted his chest and said, "Then let's go back to the classroom and take a rest. After eating and taking a walk, it's better to sit down and take a rest."
Wei Liang walked up the steps to the door of the classroom.
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
13:25.
Only a minute passed, but it felt... like an hour had passed.
"Ryoko, do you remember what happened to me just now?" He walked up the steps, checked the classroom door number "Group B Class 2", and asked while reaching for the door.
Wei Liang said: "You scared me just now. I don't know what happened to you, but I saw you standing at the bottom of the steps in a daze."
"I was dazed for a while. You started to look at the sky and then at your feet...and then after a few seconds, you squatted down. "What? You don't have any impression?"
Lin Yi opened his mouth, then shook his head helplessly: "Maybe he is a little hypoglycemic and unable to stand still..."
"I think so." Wei Liang nodded, but still didn't mention Lin Yi's body becoming cold.
After entering the classroom, Lin Yi found a seat by the window that was illuminated by the sun. After sitting down, he took out the small notebook from his pocket.
This small book contains his notes, and now he plans to take advantage of his lunch break to verify the notes he wrote before and add some new discoveries.
But just when he was about to open the small book, he caught a glimpse of green out of the corner of his eye.
That is the green forest belt outside Building B of the teaching building.
He glanced there, then continued to focus back on Xiao Ben...
"Huh?!"
He suddenly shifted his gaze back, staring at that A green forest belt.
After searching to no avail, his brows suddenly relaxed and he felt his heart tremble.
The sculpture of the little genius was there in the morning.
But now it's gone.
"After a meal, the sculpture disappeared?"
"Everyone went to eat, who would move the sculpture?"
But the sculpture just disappeared. !
"Is it possible that I can still run away by myself?"
Lin Yi felt very strange.
He thought again of the feeling of gaze behind him when he walked towards the employee passage and walked in the tree-lined avenue...
He also thought of the soothing sound blowing from the forest. The whooshing wind seems to be hiding a lot of wrong things.
He shook his shoulders and felt a shudder.
He looked up at the sky.
The cloud finally drifted away, and the sun cast warm sunlight on his body, dispelling the coldness he had always felt.
He calmed down and then turned his attention to the small book in hand.
He opened the small book, and the notes he had written down before appeared in front of him again with traces of omissions and alterations:
————[Considering the suspicion of the water word count, I put the previous notes into this chapter, and everyone can see it if you click on it (I am so conscientious...)]——
He read the previous notes from beginning to end. Once again, after confirming that there was nothing that needed to be corrected, he turned the page, recalled the experience of leaving the teaching building, going to the cafeteria to eat, and then back again, and started to add records starting from the 10th note.
During this period, he said in Article 5 [The sports student "seems (the word seems to have been erased)" is a good person, and he believes what the sports student says. 】He hesitated and thought for a while, and then gave up adding.
He turned back to the front and read item 5 again, then turned back and wrote:
"10. A vigorous competition in sports can deal with things that are wrong."
"Under the sun, sports students are very capable of fighting. (I don’t know if every sports student has a bat.)"
Then, I started writing:< br>
“11. The food in the cafeteria is the same as the blood packs in the game. It has a purifying effect. As long as the weather is good, you must go to the cafeteria to eat.” Purchase food at the meal purchase window, put down your plate and leave immediately through the [student aisle] after finishing."
After writing this sentence, he thought that the green bib chef would come through the meal purchase window No. 10. So I thought about it and changed the last half of the sentence to: "After finishing the meal and putting down the plate, I immediately ran to the [student passage] and left the cafeteria."
Then he added:
“No matter if you encounter a chef with a green bib or a chef with a blue bib, or if anyone else is sitting next to you, don’t worry about it.”
Then he wrote:
"12. If you step on the green bib chef and those classmates who are not right, your shoes will be stained with ketchup."
He thought for a while: "If that's the case , so in theory, if you counterattack, it is possible for them to get stained with ketchup?”
When he thought that he had to throw away the clothes or other items stained with tomatoes, Lin Yi thought for a moment, and then Added:
"Try to avoid them and don't fight with them... Maybe you can ask the sports students for help?"
He turned his pen and thought about it, and felt that there was no problem in writing that way, so he continued to write:
"13. The trash can is at the entrance of the employee passage, which can lead to the first floor of the canteen."
“If you are going to throw away garbage in the trash can, don’t leave any ink marks in the middle, throw it away quickly, and leave immediately after throwing it away.”
“Oh, that’s right! I almost forgot the most important point!”
< br>Lin Yi’s eyes lit up and he quickly wrote:
"14. Ketchup will turn into gypsum when exposed to the sun (the principle is not yet known)."
[Note: There is no time travel in this book, so what the protagonist sees and hears is... or you Take a guess. I hope everyone is in a normal state of mind when reading the first part of this chapter. Anyway, I didn’t feel normal when I wrote it...]
Thanks to book friends "Mulling Fish" and "Azhe is me" for writing reward! !
