Chapter 345 "Forest of Corpses" and "Starry Moon Night"
"Ah...ah...ah..."
As he continued to advance, Lin Yi's breathing became faintly heavier. When I got up, my breathing also showed some disordered tendencies.
He sensed something and suddenly looked towards a location deep in the jungle - he saw a tree in bloom.
The snow-white flower bones are in bud, clustered together in clusters, but they feel awkward no matter how you look at them.
He took another closer look and was instantly horrified.
That is not a flower bone flower. It is clearly a strange skeleton flower formed by countless small skulls gathered together and placed on the treetops!
Against the backdrop of the lingering forest-white mist, the trees full of forest-white skulls seemed to come alive, whispering some strange tone through the whining wind.
When the wind blows, skulls all over the tree sway.
What’s even weirder is that with the appearance of the first tree covered with big eyes and skulls, more and more similar trees began to appear in the dense forest, looming in the mist. Abstract and strange, with an evil atmosphere.
As I walked, I saw ancient trees with twigs like this all over the mountains and plains. Some trees seemed to have arms and legs growing out of them. Where the leaves should have been, they became arms and legs one after another, but their roots were still in the soil. It can't be pulled out at all.
The plants on this road seem to have broken away from the restrictions of conventional "plants" and changed from "plants" to some kind of "animal" and "plant" hybrid life forms. But if you look more carefully, You will find that changes that are contrary to the normal biological map all carry a trend similar to sculpting.
Those things are like organs made out of milky white gelatin, grafted on the old tree and growing continuously.
Whether it is the eyes, hands, feet, or other torso and organs, they all seem to be independent of each other.
"How about it, does this 'scenery' look good?" Lao Mo said calmly.
Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and asked with some horror: "What are those...?"
Old Mo said: "These things are called the "Forest of Bones"... They are the research results of fanatic believers. 'one. "
"Those things you see are all 'spare parts', which can be used to assemble the larvae of the Raging Angel, or can be used to repair the injuries suffered on one's own body... Of course, Some will directly replace parts of their own bodies. "
"For example, changing the eyes, changing other parts of the body, etc..."
Lin Yi's eyes widened: "Holy crap, what kind of cyber ascension? ”
Lao Mo seemed not to understand the meaning of "cyber" and had no intention of studying it. He continued: "The growth of these things is also affected by 'it', carrying the breath of 'it' and some kind of scales." The passive effect is similar, so those fanatical believers have the opportunity to pick up scales on its territory."
"I thought it was pulled out..." Lin Yi said weakly.
Old Mo said: "'It' has long been separated from the life form of 'artificial creation'. It will grow and shed its skin like a snake. The scales are what it sheds, and it also contains extraordinary power far beyond the matrix. "
"The reason why 'it' has its current size is because every time it sheds its skin, it becomes bigger. If this is not a gap between layers but a place in reality. If it's in the area, it has already been observed."
Lin Yi's mind immediately pictured a giant snake the size of a mountain appearing in the university in S city...
In front of "it", the size of those mountains was simply not big enough to see. The size of the stadium might just be the size of an "egg"...
At this time, Lao Mo asked: "When is it now?" "
Lin Yi looked back and glanced at his watch: "22:34."
Lao Mo nodded: "It's almost time, be careful, this road is coming soon. Something went wrong.”
Lin Yi quickly focused his attention.
Sure enough, at 22:35, Lin Yi began to feel some unreasonable changes in the ground under his feet. The originally soft sand began to become as soft as fat, and there was a feeling of discomfort when stepping on it. The feeling of loss of balance.
After taking a few steps, he felt that his center of gravity had shifted to varying degrees. He swayed to the left with this step, and rushed forward with that step, as if he was stepping on that kind of extremely malleable water. Same in bed.
The trees around him also began to show the kind of distortion that had only appeared in visions.
The large trees seemed to have lost their original toughness and began to sway like water plants. The whole world seemed to be imprinted on a hypergeometric body that violated the laws of geometry. The distortion looks impossible to the naked eye.
Lin Yi looked at Lao Mo and found that Lao Mo seemed to be integrated with the environment, and he was also distorted!
"You are following the crowd." Lao Mo's voice rang in Lin Yi's ears. Instead of helping Lin Yi, he began to teach Lin Yi.
“Keep an eye on the road under your feet.”
“Don’t observe its twisted form... look for the unchanging point in its movement and reduce its distortion in your eyes. Let it be in a relatively 'normal' state in your perception."
Lin Yi was very confused by Lao Mo's words, and even couldn't understand them at all.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just follow me first." Lao Mo said and slowed down, as if waiting for him.
However, this stopped movement was still distorted and unsightly in Lin Yi's eyes.
Lin Yi then tried to take a step forward.
As soon as he stepped on it, the ground seemed to come alive and kept squirming. That kind of frequency was not something he could catch up with, but a golden light began to appear in his eyes.
"High-level perception" is activated, and everything around begins to become sluggish, even the creeping of the earth becomes sluggish.
Lin Yi began to feel the changes carefully, looking for what Lao Mo called "the constant point in motion."
Lao Mo originally wanted Lin Yi to explore slowly, but he didn't know what he sensed, so he quickly reminded: "A line is composed of countless points, but the concept of 'point' is too It's subtle, you can zoom in a little bit to observe..."
"Imagine that you are walking on an unstable suspension bridge, and under your feet are planks that are shaking one after another, but no matter the plank Or something else, there are laws..."
"'Laws'...plank bridge?" Lin Yi has a very high level of understanding and understands it naturally, "You mean, don't be obsessed with the whole, Let’s sort out the path under our feet first!”
Seeing Lin Yi’s enlightenment, Lao Mo quickly said: “There are endless waves, but we only need to find one of them and follow the wave to the other side. !”
Lin Yi said excitedly: “I understand!”
"Understanding is not enough, take action!" After Lao Mo said this, he quickened his pace, leaving plenty of room for Lin Yi to "catch up". Lin Yi took a deep breath, no longer focusing on the seaweed-like twisted environment around him, but focused entirely on the limited space in front of him.
Walk one step away, feel the distortion within three steps, and observe the waves within ten steps.
He stumbled and walked like a toddler. His movements were very jerky, but he still kept every step within a safe range, and his progress could be said to be rapid. After walking for a few minutes, I could already walk smoothly on the twisted ground.
At this point, his observation distance was far enough to observe Lao Mo's back.
What's interesting is that the figure of Lao Mo, who was extremely distorted in his perspective, is no longer distorted when he observes it now, and the road under his feet is not as distorted as it was at the beginning. The feedback above has also become much more "normal".
And this "normal" feeling is becoming "more normal"...
"It's 'overwriting'!" Lin Yi suddenly understood something, "I will The abnormality of the surrounding environment has overwritten my perception of the environment! It’s not that the environment has become normal, but that I have integrated into this environment!”
In Lao Mo’s words, I have adapted to it! The frequency of the plank bridge shaking.
"I switched myself from the original 'channel'... to the same 'channel' as the distorted waveband of this road?!"
In fact, there is no need to talk about "channels", this is the change in "layers", which penetrates from the first layer of the napkin to the second or even third layer!
After a few minutes, the road under his feet was no longer twisted at all, and Lao Mo's back became extremely normal.
Lao Mo felt his change and turned to look at him. A very ugly look of relief appeared on the dead fish's face: "Not bad, not bad, your speed in adapting to the environment is really impressive. It's too fast... I'm a little doubtful whether you are a chameleon."
Lin Yi chuckled: "You taught me well"
"It's hard. Okay, let's end the exchange." Old Mo made a sign and continued, "The path you are taking now is the third stage to the Art Building."
"To be more precise, only by walking on this road can we really come into contact with the world where the Art Building is located."
Lin Yi was startled and quickly looked at the people around him. environment.
"What...is this like?!"
"Take a good look, this is definitely a 'scenery' you have never seen before."
In Lin Yi What unfolded before my eyes was indeed a world I had never seen before, a world that I couldn't even imagine.
The dense forest that originally grew around him turned into twisted and rough dark lines with green as the main color, and the fog also turned into white lines, clusters here and there, surrounding a Another different center point forms spiral turbines one after another.
Looking from a distance, this is a world full of whirlpools. It was originally just an ordinary distortion, but now it has formed a whirlpool of different sizes.
Such a world shocked Lin Yi. At the same time, he also thought of a masterpiece -
""Starry Night"? ! "
Listening to Lin Yi's exclamation, Lao Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Really? ”
Lin Yi's shock could not be described in words. At this moment, he seemed to be thrown into the starry night, and the starry sky was like a whirlpool today!
"This...is this really a "Starry Moon Night"? ! "
"Are you dreaming? "Lao Mo denied politely, "It's just a spiritual resemblance. When you observe the outside world in this layer, you will see this kind of similar picture. Just like oil-paper umbrellas with different patterns, after they are put away, the textures exposed on the surface of the umbrella body are almost the same as long as the colors are similar. "
"Ouch..." Lin Yiruo had some realization.
"To put it bluntly, you see that chimpanzees all look the same, but each one is actually different. If not Experts, you can't tell anything. The principle is almost the same. ”
"Oh, I understand."
In this world full of whirlpools, the road under their feet became the only straight staircase.
And this scenery was indeed spectacular, as if the world was displayed in front of him in another form.
Lin Yi couldn't help but asked: "How did this form?"
Lao Mo shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe you can write them down and save them for later when you have time. Savor it slowly. If you can decipher the mystery inside, you may also be able to get some inspiration for deciphering "Starry Moon Night". ”
Lin Yi said in surprise: "'Some inspiration for cracking "Starry Moon Night"'? Are you talking about the "Starry Moon Night" in the art building? "
"You even know this, and you still say you are not an official? "Lao Mo smiled, "An experiential student knows some things that "an experiential student cannot know". "
This thing is hard to explain. Lin Yi could only smile bitterly and catch it.
Then, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Ah, by the way, can you and Let me tell you what "Starry Moon Night" is? "
Old Mo said: "Everyone knows that it is a painting that Van Gogh left in the art building, but everyone also knows that it is more than just a painting. ”
"Uh, isn't this nonsense literature...?"
Lin Yi just complained in his heart, and Lao Mo continued: "Then by chance, some people found the law of "layer jump" , which is the 'scenery' you see now. "
"The first "apostle" to stabilize the layer's field of view observed such a scene and realized that there were some similarities with "Starry Night"..."
"After a long period of exploration and intense discussion on layer transition, the "apostles" came to the most widely recognized point of view - that is, coordinates. "
""Coordinates"? ! "Lin Yi's pupils shrank slightly.
"Well, coordinates." Lao Mo nodded and said completely, "['Starry Moon Night' is most likely a coordinate], a coordinate that can only be found when the layer jumps, a coordinate that corresponds to endless mysteries and Extraordinary coordinates! "
"So Van Gogh..."
"So Van Gogh left something somewhere in the Great Channel, leaving a location coordinate, and then said' I left everything there, just go find it if you want it'? 》
What the hell is OnePiece? !
Vincent D. Van Gogh? !
The words of complaint were rolling in his stomach, but in this context, Lin Yi was stunned and did not spit out a word, but continued: "So Van Gogh... left something behind?"
