Chapter 96 "Welcome to the Art Building"
He could not remember the specific appearance of the strange geometric structure. He only remembered that he saw a pseudo-geometric shape that was difficult to describe, intuitively feel and observe. Objects, such as things that are composed of countless irregular structures that cannot be distinguished as concave or convex, are even unclear whether they can be called "objects".
The composition of this geometric body seems to be inextricably related to the layer logic between the teaching building, dormitory building and art building, but other than that, it did not leave any intuition in his perception. And clear feelings.
This feeling is like a hazy "I vaguely remember picking up a stone when I was a child", but no matter how hard you rack your brains to think about it, you can't think of anything related to the stone. No details.
As if it were just a stone.
As if it were just a geometric shape.
As if it were just "1+1=2".
As if everything...should be the way it should be.
Lin Yi suddenly shivered, a chill ran down his spine, and he broke into a cold sweat.
"Damn it...Cognitive overwriting is everywhere, pervasive..."
"I just...did I touch some kind of secret, and the moment I touched it, things related to this secret were overwritten one step ahead?"
He put his thoughts away and looked down at the student memorial currency.
The number that he had not seen clearly before was remembered in his mind at this time.
The number engraved on the student commemorative coins is "Yue-X02305070323".
"It seems that this 'month-X02305070323' is equivalent to Maozi's student ID number..."
"0507 means May 7th, and 0323 means...3:23?"
He noticed that the current time on the pendulum clock in the art office was 3:36, but the art teacher was about The numbers are engraved starting at 3:23.
He silently wrote down the number of Mao Feiyang’s student commemorative coin, which might be of great use in the future.
This student commemorative coin has a lot of knowledge just from the surface.
At least it seems troublesome for experience students to lose their student ID cards, but art students actually only need to go to the canteen to buy a new one. Moreover, when encountering sculptures, they can actually throw away student commemorative coins. This operation is simply outrageous.
But then again...
Since art students are still allies of sports students to a certain extent, shouldn’t it be possible that after the experience students lose their student ID cards, their class teacher will arrange to go to the canteen to buy student commemorative coins, and then go to art A way to survive?
Huh? ? ?
Why do I think so?
Lin Yi suddenly narrowed his eyes, revealing a black question mark face.
...
Based on the shocking scene just now, Mao Feiyang suddenly became much more honest, silently carrying the rules of art students.
Because according to the art teacher, Mao Feiyang had nearly an hour to memorize two codes. Based on the time at that time, it can be estimated that around 4:00, the art teacher will have other The arrangement of things may have meant that he was thrown out of the art office and forced to start his art journey.
Lin Yi didn’t know when he would wake up from the dream, but the scene just now gave him a signal that he needed to hurry up, so he also tried to use what he already had while memorizing the rules of art life. To understand a little bit...while he still has that magical protective mechanism in the dream.
While carrying it on his back, Lin Yi suddenly thought of something.
The teaching building seems to have eight floors exposed in abnormal weather, and the elevator can only be used in abnormal weather. Could it be that the four floors of the "void pavilion" that cannot be seen normally are related to the art building?
However, compared with the traditional teaching building architectural style, the teaching building D that appeared in the illusion as the campus layers fell seems to be more in line with the art building described in the code. The way it came out.
"Building D of the teaching building...the art building...the fifth to eighth floors of the teaching building..."
Lin Yi rubbed his eyebrows and planned to try to write something in a small notebook after waking up from the dream Write this information down and see if words can carry it.
Lin Yi also discovered that the rules for art students did not mention anything related to street light poles. It seemed that they should not be restricted by cobblestone roads and street light poles when moving.
In addition, there is the most critical issue - the issue of leaving the campus.
There are thousands of words in the rules of the art building. Except for the card in the black card sleeve at the end that seems to be used only in desperate situations, there is no mention of any method to leave the campus.
Not to mention the school bus, I didn’t even say how to get to the school gate.
How does the Art Student Code depict this card in a black card sleeve?
【From this moment on, you will only be able to rely on your own judgment to survive. However, our school will still provide you with one last help. 】
[The method recorded on the card is the only method our school has found since its establishment to help you escape from the campus. 】
【You can only open the card sleeve when the card turns green. Never try this out of curiosity. 】
The last time!
The only one!
Absolutely not!
This is tantamount to throwing the words "desperate strategy" and "leaving the world" in the face.
When it comes to this step, it means that Mao Feiyang has violated the art student code and lost the "protective effect" from the art student code. It is almost as if he is almost dead!
So if we put aside this last card that can be called a "legacy"...
"Could it be...that under normal circumstances, only experience students can leave the campus? "
If this is the case, it means that if art students want to leave the campus, they need to find a reverse transformation path from "art students" to "experience students."
"Eh?!" Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Art Student Code of Conduct... seems to actually mention something related to this!
[When you are studying in the self-study room of the teaching building and encounter malicious classmates attacking the experience students, please remain silent. When the sports students come forward, cooperate with them to eliminate those students who exude malicious intent.
During this period, if the experience student is fatally injured, please look for an opportunity to find the "student ID card" from his body, keep it carefully, and inform the art teacher when you return to the art classroom. The art teacher will inform you of the pick-up date. What to do next. 】
This code mentions a key clue. To put it simply, let the art students touch the corpses, obtain the ownerless "student ID card" from the failed experience students, and then go to the art teacher. If you simply hand your student ID to the art teacher, there is no way the code says "the art teacher will tell you what to do next."
Lin Yi boldly speculated that art teachers must at least know a way to transform art students into experience students.
Mao Feiyang recited and turned over the scriptures like a little novice monk, while Lin Yi recited and memorized the scriptures. Time passed quietly, and it soon came to 4:00.
“That’s almost it.” The art teacher standing by the floor-to-ceiling window withdrew his gaze to the outside world, looked at Mao Feiyang, and said with a smile, “After reading the code, do you have anything to ask?”
Mao Feiyang took a deep breath and then closed the book.
In the next three minutes, Mao Feiyang raised questions including but not limited to "Is the outside world really a virtual environment?" "Is a sculpture really a sculpture?" "I've never heard of a castle-like building" and a series of other questions that make me feel like I'm looking for shit.
The corners of the art teacher's mouth twitched as he asked, and Lin Yi's eyelids twitched fiercely...
"Okay, you'd better stop asking." The art teacher was quite speechless, saying this in his heart Where did the iron-headed boy come from and asked this kind of question as soon as he came up? Is he really not afraid of death?
"The advancement and transformation of 'cognition' is a continuous and long-term process. Before you accept it yourself, nothing I say is of any use." "Your curiosity and suspicion are really serious , I can only tell you that after you leave the office, you'd better clamp your tail and don't try to mess with anything. Just abide by the rules and those abnormal things will come to you..."
"No..." Mao Feiyang couldn't help but said, "I abide by the rules, and they will still come to me? Isn't that the same as me going to them?"
The art teacher gently pulled the brim of the beret: "They are looking for you, but you still have candlelight after all. If you look for them, you will really force yourself to get into the darkness. Can it be the same?"< br>
"Uh..." Mao Feiyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "I see..."
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Mao Feiyang’s eyelids twitched hard.
What else do I ask? You didn’t answer any of the questions I just asked!
"I won't ask anymore..." Mao Feiyang shook his head speechlessly.
"Then you can leave. They will be back in half an hour." The art teacher looked at the other desks with a smile.
Mao Feiyang shivered suddenly. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the art teacher's eyes just now were so cold that they could freeze the entire office. It was so cold that his hair almost stood up.
But Lin Yi caught a different word.
【They are coming back. 】
"'They'? Is it them or them?"
Lin Yi thought of the non-human classmates and abnormal art students who left the lecture theater at 4:30, and wondered, could the art teacher be referring to them?
Mao Feiyang left the art office without staying too long, taking the rules of the art building and the rules of art students.
"Mao Feiyang." The art teacher stopped Mao Feiyang who reached out and pressed on the door handle.
"Teacher, is there anything else?"
"Keep these two rules, especially the rules for art students. When you really want to read the rules, try to make sure you are in an art classroom or a safe area under the light."
"Leave the office Then find the sign and I will help you."
"Okay, teacher." Mao Feiyang nodded and opened the door of the art office.
Just when Mao Feiyang closed the door of the art office, Lin Yi suddenly noticed that the art teacher's eyes narrowed slightly.
……
May 7, 2023, 4:08.
Mao Feiyang looked at the environment of the art office and couldn't help but feel as if he was in a dream.
Even though he kept telling himself that all this was a "virtual environment", he still didn't have enough independence to think that such a place must actually exist somewhere in the world.
In front of him, there was a Gothic castle that was "inconsistent with reality".
In the long dark night, the towering spiers of the castle rise to the sky, decorated with spike-like spiers.
In the forest-white haze, the ancient clock tower and the thick stone walls intersect with each other, and the eerie atmosphere makes people shudder.
In the shadows, heavy iron bars hang on the windows. Behind the iron bars is a glass window inlaid with gorgeous and complex colorful patterns.
The dim candlelight is projected on the ground through the glass, forming mysterious patterns that seem to echo the positions of ancient stars beyond the long night.
What shocked Lin Yi and Mao Feiyang was that the art office was not in the castle, but in one of the watchtowers scattered around the castle.
To reach the castle from the watchtower, you need to cross an ancient and mottled old stone bridge.
Below the stone bridge is a cliff. Below the cliff are pitch-black rocks and black sea water. The whining sea breeze stirs up the roaring sea water and smashes it into pieces on the rocks. Moisture permeates the sea fog and air, revealing the A salty, damp and cold breath.
In the howling sea breeze, the candles burning on both sides of the stone bridge swayed, making a "whooshing" sound, as if they would go out at any time.
At the other end of the stone bridge, huge stone pillars carry the vaults above, and strange symbols are carved on the stone beams and doorways, exuding a heavy and long history.
In front of him, there was a wooden road sign nailed to a stone pillar. The road sign read:
[Welcome to the Art Building! 】
Under the road sign, there is a piece of tetanus iron hanging on a rusty iron chain. In the sea breeze, the iron chain and the iron piece clank.
Mao Feiyang walked over and reached out to hold the iron piece, only to realize that it turned out to be a notice board.
Lin Yi and he took a closer look and saw the sign saying:
“When you see this sign, it means that you have entered the territory of the Art Building. ”
“Don’t try to backtrack, you have no choice but to keep going”
"You can't escape the call of the Art Building by conventional means, but the Art Journey will be kind to everyone who arrives."
"Before entering the Art Building, please remember:"
“Art originates from life and is higher than life. Please abandon your perception, re-understand everything in the art building with an “artistic perspective”, and tell yourself that this is how it should be. ”
While he was looking at the iron plate, a twisted beam of light suddenly hit him from behind, covering him and the billboard like a stage spotlight.
< br>Mao Feiyang was stunned for a moment, turned to look at the source of the light, and was shocked to find that the art teacher was standing on the watchtower, using glass to focus the light of some kind of burning object on him
"Go towards the art building, and my light will keep shining on you until you come under the arch!" The art teacher held on to the glass, his windbreaker rustling in the sea breeze, like a captain on the Caribbean Sea, so handsome. .
Mao Feiyang let go of his hand and let the sign continue to clank. He took a deep breath, looked at the castle arch at the end of the stone bridge, and then walked over.
Looking at his back, the art teacher sighed faintly: "The "extraordinary characteristics" of the stone bridge candlelight have been almost erased by the years. They may not be able to cover him alone..."< br>
“Experience students first become art students before getting their student ID cards...”
“Haha, that’s kind of interesting...”
