Chapter 329 Dreamland Kuai Hongji Jungle, and... "Crazy Believer"
X May 9, 2023, the gymnasium annex building "Dome".
While sleeping, Lin Yi had a dream.
In the dream, he seemed to have entered a dense jungle. This jungle was both familiar and unfamiliar. It seemed to be the green forest belt on campus, but it was different. It was like a corner forgotten by the world. It exudes a chilling aura.
The light struggled to penetrate the layers of branches and leaves, but it had become extremely dim, like the last breath of a dying person, weak and powerless.
Every ray of light is like a prisoner swallowed by darkness, gradually disappearing in the struggle, leaving only mottled, almost imperceptible light and shadow on the ground. Those light images are ghosts hidden in the darkness, twisted and irregular, and seem to be squirming uneasily with the occasional breeze.
The mist is like a huge, cold white snake, winding and circling tightly around the entire dense forest.
It permeates every inch of space, thick and moist, like miasma pouring from the depths of hell.
In the fog, everything became blurry, and the outlines of the trees were looming, like a group of monsters baring their teeth and claws in the darkness.
Occasionally, the fog will disperse briefly, but then quickly gather again as if deliberately teasing the intruder, ruthlessly extinguishing that short-lived hope again.
The trees here seemed to be twisted by some evil force. The trunks were bent at an unnatural angle, like limbs struggling in pain.
Their bark is rough and cracked, like deep wrinkles carved by time and pain. The branches are like dry arms, stretching helplessly toward the sky, and seem to be pulling and entangled with each other. As if there is an endless battle going on, there are still some withered yellow leaves hanging on the branches that may fall at any time, making a rustling sound in the breeze. The sound is like a whisper, making people unconsciously get goosebumps.
Rapid air currents shuttled between the twisted trees, making a sharp "wuwuwu" sound, rising and falling, like a tortured soul in the endless darkness. wail.
Some wind blew through the dry branches, making a "rustling" sound, as if a pair of invisible big hands were vigorously shaking the entire dense forest.
Gradually, he heard some rustling sounds, like something moving on the dead leaves and soft soil. As the "perspective" continued to go deeper into the dense forest, he gradually saw There are some looming figures, but these figures are still very different from the shadows of the old trees. Looking from a distance, you can tell that they are "people" - or, at least, they are things with human-shaped outlines.
Soon, Lin Yi analyzed the movement patterns between different scenery and fog in the field of vision, combined with the patterns of light and shadow changes, to analyze what those things with humanoid outlines were - humanoid sculptures.
However, compared to the pseudo-human sculptures in the sculpture square, the human-shaped sculptures here gave him a weirder feeling. If we say that those who have the ability to enter under the light curtain of the street lamp pole are new pseudo-human sculptures , then the humanoid sculpture here should be the old pseudo-human sculpture.
These humanoid sculptures are scattered and scattered, moving according to certain specific trajectories, as if they are loyal guards.
Before he could react, the vision in this dream began to move...
The original figure in the vision was flickering and moving in the mist, nimbly not like a person, but more like someone A ghost riding the wind.
Lin Yi's thoughts changed slightly and he tried to pull his vision back a little.
So just like when he entered Mao Feiyang's perspective in his dream, now he is like a wisp of smoke floating out of the body of this vision...
< br>After seeing this person clearly, he should have been a little shocked, but instead he was calmer than he expected. It seemed that it was reasonable that he should be like this.
He saw the true form of his vision - Kuai Hongji.
This is actually Kuai Hongji’s perspective.
Absolutely unexpected, but also reasonable.
In the two days of dreams, he mostly followed Mao Zi through his life as an art student from Mao Zi's perspective, and rarely entered Kuai Hongji's perspective.
Unexpectedly, this time it entered Kuai Hongji’s perspective.
"Is Kuai Kuai walking through the dense forest?"
"When did this happen?"
He subconsciously glanced at his wrist, but unfortunately, there was no quartz watch on his wrist.
After entering the campus, Kuai Hongji almost maintained the rhythm of individual combat. Except for a few meals and returning to the dormitory, he did not have much communication with them at all.
He knew that Kuai Hongji had entered the green forest belt, but he did not know what he was doing inside. Therefore, he had always been curious about Kuai Hongji's perspective, but he did not expect to see it at this time.
Kuai Hongji is still moving deep in the jungle, and now in the deep jungle, the fog is far thicker than imagined. Those with poor eyesight cannot tell whether it is a tree trunk or a human sculpture. Or maybe it's something even weirder.
"Kuai Kuai moves here, isn't it affected at all?"
Lin Yi was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, if you want to stay rational in this environment, you must at least recognize the things you see in advance.
When did Kuai Hongji gain such in-depth knowledge?
"Did he know everything from the beginning?"
"No...am I the only one who knows nothing?"
In Lin Yi's understanding Among them, Tian Bufan knew the most, but now it seems that Kuai Hongji is the weirdest one. The logic of his behavior is as if he is performing a specific task.
His purpose is too clear.
What made Lin Yi even more incredible was that he tried to use his vision to observe Kuai Hongji, only to find that Kuai Hongji seemed to be a transparent person. He shuttled through this place full of fog and pollution. But all the breath penetrated from his body.
This is somewhat similar to his previous practice of letting "original pollution" flow in and out of the body.
But at that time, he could only get a scoop of three thousand weak water, but Kuai Hongji didn't touch even a drop of water, as if he didn't exist.
"Wait a minute...it doesn't exist?"
"Does it mean that in the 'cognition' of these non-human units, Kuai Kuai does not exist now?"
Just like the original pseudo-human sculpture, they anchored each other through mutual perception and then carried out the void Like searching for enemies, these humanoid sculptures cannot sense the existence of Kuai Hongji at all, so they cannot detect him?
This technique is like a very clever "stealth", even reaching the point of "invisibility".
Lin Yi didn’t know how Kuai Hongji did it.
The cold breath came from all directions as if it had materialized. Even if it was just a dream, it still made Lin Yi feel the same, as if it had invaded every pore of him and made his blood freeze. He was not breathing, but he could feel that every breath Kuai Hongji took seemed to inhale the coldness around him into his heart and lungs, making people shiver involuntarily.
Lin Yi vaguely remembered that deep in the dense forest, there was a dividing line between light and shadow. It was a place that even Mu Daxian did not bring Maozi into.
However, Kuai Hongji traveled deep in the jungle for a long time, but never let Lin Yi see such a dividing line.
Not only did I not see this dividing line, I didn't even see the abandoned street light pole.
"Have you not reached that limit yet?" Lin Yi had some doubts in his heart, but looking at the increasingly weird and unfamiliar environment, he suddenly realized that maybe the opposite was true!
It’s not that Kuai Hongji hasn’t crossed that boundary yet, it’s that he has already crossed it!
Lin Yi then followed Kuai Hongji, shuttling back and forth in the depths of the jungle like a ghost. He passed through patrol circles of humanoid sculptures one after another, and finally came to a patch of land that was completely obscured by lush leaves. In the dim world.
The ancient trees here have been cut down according to a certain pattern, and some areas have turned into a completely barren dry and cracked land. The momentum of vegetation growing out of the dense forest towards the dry and cracked land is like melting ice and snow. Generally reduced.
In the depths of such a dank forest, it is extremely unusual for such a boundary to appear.
It was a desolate land that seemed to have been forgotten by the world. There were some huge milky white stones scattered on the ground. It was difficult to determine what material these stones were made of just by looking at them from a distance. But Lin Yi's first impression was that it was the kind of plaster body that could be used for sculpture.
However, compared to the traditional gypsum body, the stone in front of you seems to be harder.
Kuai Hongji stopped at the edge of the barren land. His body, as thin as a bamboo, nimbly climbed up the branches of the ancient tree along the twisted branches, like a stick insect interacting with the surrounding people. The environment blends into one.
At this moment, he was hiding among the branches like a very patient hunter, with a pair of sinister eyes staring firmly at the scattered giant stones, not knowing what he was observing. But it should be waiting for some kind of opportunity.
Lin Yi followed up and observed the large plaster-like stones. Through the floating fog, he could faintly see some moving figures.
"There are actually living things here?!"
Lin Yi was shocked. Those figures were still humanoid, but compared to humanoid sculptures, they seemed to have some more special... "rhythm."
Suddenly, he found a figure coming out from behind a large plaster body that was relatively close to him.
Because the distance was relatively close, and the fog was floating in waves, he could clearly see the appearance of the nearest figure this time.
It was a man wearing a dark green cloak and a hood. He was holding strange utensils in his hands, and there seemed to be some axes and chisels hanging on his waist, like a mason who was not in a normal state of mind. A combination of carpenters.
In the vessel he held in his hand, there was some thick milky white paste.
Due to the severe obstruction of his vision, Lin Yi couldn't see the expression on the figure's face clearly, but even from a long distance, Lin Yi could feel the wild enthusiasm and morbid piety emanating from him. As well as the eager greed and restless madness...
"'Crazy believer'...?!"
At this moment, this word popped up in Lin Yi's mind for no reason, no. He knew whether it was due to his intuition or from a flicker of consciousness in Kuai Hongji's heart.
Not to mention whether it was related to Kuai Hongji, his intuition told him that this guy was a fanatic believer, and the guys behind him were also fanatic believers.
I still remember that the first time Lin Yi heard the term "fanatic believer" was from Mu Daxian.
But now that he saw this situation, the first title that came to his mind was "fanatic believer".
These people seem to have the characteristics of the art department, but there is no green aura of art, but a mixed aura of grey-green.
And the dark green robes they wore turned into tattered cloaks.
The style of the cloak was just like the original art student's robe, which was torn apart by the swarms of bats in the cave when he passed through a bat cave.
This fanatical believer gestured in front of the large plaster body very devoutly. From time to time, he stretched out his hand to pick up some paste from the container and paste it on the plaster body. He was mumbling something in his mouth. Wow, it sounds buzzing, making my head feel uncomfortable.
After the fanatic believer had finished applying the paste, he reluctantly held the vessel and left. Then, like a gear turning, another fanatic believer came out from the depths of the desolate land shrouded in mist and took over. He continued to work on the large plaster body.
He then observed other large plaster bodies. From this observation, he immediately discovered that in front of the large plaster bodies he observed, there was at least one fanatic who was exerting some influence.
Lin Yi suddenly realized that these fanatical believers were conducting some kind of organized and disciplined secret activities.
As he observed the large gypsum bodies, he discovered that these large gypsum bodies did not seem to be..."dead objects".
After he noticed this, those large plaster bodies couldn't help but become vivid in his "perception". He could see that the surfaces of these large plaster bodies seemed to have some slight undulations, just like Like the cocoon of some kind of creature.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
He seemed to be able to hear some subtle noises, and even the surrounding fog seemed to be affected by the noises, moving in a very regular way. The rhythm pushed out ripples all around...
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Lin Yi's eyes: "The way these ripples are undulating in the fog is so similar to the gray fog ripples on the Dome playground. ? !”
“Are these gypsum bodies the source of the gray mist fluctuations?!”
“Is it possible that Kuai Kuai came here alone is related to these large gypsum bodies?”
"Or...is it related to some kind of activities being carried out by fanatics?"
At this point, Lin Yi felt more and more that everyone in the dormitory seemed to have come with a mysterious mission, and he was the only one. I really came to "experience seven days".
No.
From now on, his experience of life seems to have deviated from the normal track...
However, just as he had this idea, he found Kuai Hongji's attention. , I don’t know when I have fallen into the depths of the desolate land.
It seems that something existing there is really related to Kuai Hongji's purpose of coming here.
