Chapter 346 Arriving at the coastline
“No.” Lao Mo shook his head, “The ‘apostles’ guessed that Van Gogh did not ‘leave something at the coordinates’, but ‘used these coordinates to To locate something, the "apostles" firmly believe that it may be the coordinates of his location, or the location of the "source" in the sea. "
"After all these years, no one has cracked it. Everyone who studied "Starry Moon Night" has become a fanatical believer, so "Starry Moon Night" has become one of the most polluting representative works. "
"Some people even carried old kerosene lamps to study "Starry Night"..."
Lin Yi asked: "What's the ending? ”
"The ending is...the lights went out, but he was still there." Lao Mo said, "'Starry Moon Night' will not hurt people, but no one can resist the contamination suffered during in-depth research. "
"The observatory was closed as a result, and "Starry Moon Night" has never been displayed again. "
"However, Van Gogh had thought of this scene a long time ago, so he left the normal-sized "Starry Moon Night" and let it spread... It was like throwing out a copy of a treasure map. pieces. "
Lin Yi asked: "That "Starry Moon Night"...does it have the same effect? "
"Of course not, otherwise how could it be spread... The pollution characteristics of a starry night are enough to transform an area into a "dark zone". No one dares to take this risk... …”
“Some people call that painting ‘Starry Sky’, while others retain the name ‘Starry Night’. It does not have extraordinary characteristics, but the ‘charm’ contained in it is enough for people to study. ”
“Some people feel this and will go out of their way to find the original. "
"Of course, only a small number of people who pass the official evaluation are eligible to watch "Starry Night". "
Lin Yi looked at Lao Mo and asked curiously: "Have you seen it? "
Old Mo shook his head: "I haven't seen it. ”
Although Lin Yi thought it was normal regardless of whether Lao Mo had watched "Starry Moon Night" or not, he still felt a little regretful when he heard Lao Mo say that he had not watched it.
Lao Mo has never seen it. It seems that it is not easy to see Starry Moon Night.
Lin Yi observed the surrounding environment curiously. The vortices one after another looked extremely interesting, as if they had penetrated the space.
After walking for a while, Lin Yi found that the whirlpools around him seemed to have become looser, and the tightly entangled lines had also become looser.
He understood that these vortexes were gradually returning to their twisted appearance. In other words, he was "floating" in the layer, returning to a relatively normal layer from that weird world. Zhonglai...
He glanced at his watch and tried to check the time, but found that the hands on the watch kept swinging between the 15th and 16th seconds of 22:48...
"What's going on... …Why doesn’t the watch keep time?”
When he thought about the “accurate timekeeping” he had boasted to Lao Mo just a moment ago, he felt a burning pain on his face, but fortunately, Lao Mo didn’t notice his situation at all. Still marching with concentration.
This process lasted for a while, and then the watch's time returned to its original state, but Lin Yi always felt that it seemed to be "stuck" for a few minutes for some reason.
On May 9, 2023, at 22:52, Lin Yi’s side was filled with ancient trees with irregular twisting branches like seaweed and thick fog, the scene of the "Forest of Bones" It was no longer visible, leaving only a misty forest environment similar to that near the desolate land.
Lao Mo's voice came from the front: "Keep this rhythm, we will be there soon!"
"Okay!" Lin Yi responded quickly.
Soon, the distorted environment around him gradually returned to normal, but the ground under his feet became inconsistent with his pace again.
Lin Yi was secretly frightened. At this moment, Lao Mo's instructions rang out at the right time: "Don't panic, this is a normal phenomenon, just like an airplane lowers its landing gear and then adjusts when landing. It will pass quickly, just like a running track. It doesn’t matter if you are not used to it, just wait.”
Lin Yi calmed down immediately after hearing this. After all, as a person with a lot of darkness crawling on the twisted road. After going through a period of decline, it is easy to adapt to this change.
And he was frightened at first because he thought something new had happened.
After walking for a few minutes, the twisting feeling on the road disappeared, and the surrounding dense forest returned to its intertwined appearance.
Lin Yi began to feel some loose feedback under his feet. He found that the fog in the dense forest seemed to have become extremely thin. Only some ankle-length fog was still floating on the ground, like a fog filled with dry ice. Same as the stage.
"Huh...huh..."
There was a faint sound of wind blowing from the front of the road, as well as the sound of some waves pushing towards the shore.
Lin Yi said in surprise: "Are we going out?"
Old Mo nodded: "Yes... it went smoothly."
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile with joy when he heard this, but Lao Mo immediately poured cold water on him: "Don't be too happy... the next step is business."
Lin Yi understood immediately. At this time, the art building should be encountering nocturnal species and The attack of the Laughing Angels, and the art building itself is also the building closest to the source on the entire campus.
As the sea breeze and the sound of waves increased, a white light spot faintly appeared in front of Lin Yi.
He had seen this light spot in several visions, and he knew that it was the exit of this dense forest.
Under the leadership of Lao Mo, they got closer and closer to the white light...
Finally, they rushed into the white light!
"Boom——"
The moment he passed through the white light, Lin Yi's vision and hearing were impacted to a certain extent. His vision was filled with a dazzling white light, and his ears There was that sharp, ear-piercing "bah--" sound, and it was like falling into another world.
Fortunately, the discomfort quickly disappeared, and his vision and hearing began to recover quickly.
While his vision was still blurry, he felt the salty and wet sea breeze blowing on his face, and his ears heard the sound of waves crashing on the rocks.
"Wow--bang!!"
"Wow--bang!!"
"Wow--" His blurred vision quickly became clear. He found that the location he was in was somewhere along the coastline.
Behind him was a dense forest, and in front of him was another gloomy and depressing terrifying picture.
The sky is like a thick quilt filled with water, weighing heavily on the coastline. The clouds pile up like mountains, crowding and rolling, filling the entire sky, and some tend to spread to the horizon. It seems that the whole world is tightly wrapped up.
There are a few faint, almost imperceptible rays of light deep in the clouds. It is as pale as if an eraser has been lightly rubbed on a drawing board covered with toner.
The entire coastline presents a cold and rough appearance, with jagged reefs protruding abruptly from below the sea level. The dark brown surface is covered with traces of years of erosion and is uneven. , like the wrinkles on the face of an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life.
There are still some white sea salt crystals remaining on the reef, shining in the faint light, like frost flowers condensed on dead branches in the winter morning.
The gray sand on the beach is rough and cold. It is blown wildly by the sea breeze, forming irregular lines, like cracked wounds on the earth, and some cannot be seen to be seaweed. It was some kind of plant, mixed with the corpses of some unknown creatures that were washed up on the shore by the waves. They were scattered wetly on the beach, exuding a salty and decaying smell.
The black ocean seemed to be boiling, setting off waves one after another, rushing toward the shore. Each wave carried huge power, and hit the rocks and rocks like it was venting its anger. The beach made a dull roar, like the roar of the ocean.
The white foam rolled and broke on the top of the waves, and then was quickly swallowed by new waves.
The sea breeze whizzed past, it was like a sharp knife, cutting across the face, bringing a biting cold, the wind was mixed with fine raindrops, these raindrops were cold and moist, they hit the body, instantly It can penetrate clothes and make people feel a chill that goes deep into the bone marrow.
However, after looking around, Lin Yi didn't see the art building.
"Where's the Art Building?" He couldn't help asking and looked at Lao Mo, who was not far away from him.
Lao Mo's originally ugly face became even more ugly: "There were some deviations. We did not arrive near the art building."
"Ah? What should we do?" Lin Yi asked somewhat anxiously.
“It should be that the storm affected the stability of the layer port, plus some other factors, which caused our exit to deviate... It seems that the situation over there is better than I imagined. Even worse..."
"Then..."
Old Mo waved his hand: "Don't say anything yet, let me 'lock' the position...and then we go straight in."
After finishing speaking, Lao Mo fell silent. down.
"Go straight to the point?"
Lin Yi was slightly startled, and then he realized that Lao Mo seemed to have focused his attention somewhere on the coastline.
"Hey, there...!!"
In that direction, the celestial phenomena seem to be different from here!
"Boo~"
A cluster of golden fire appeared in Lin Yi's eyes, and then his vision quickly moved toward the person on the coastline as if it were a magnifying glass. The direction pulled closer...
Soon, he saw a huge and terrifying storm!
The dark clouds in the sky are like enraged giant beasts, surging in with overwhelming force. They squeeze and collide with each other, making low roars. The thick colors seem to pile black soil on the high sky, constantly pushing forward. .
In the clouds, lightning shuttled freely like sharp sword blades, and deafening thunder rumbled across the sky and earth.
Every time thunder and lightning roared, the clouds were torn into countless fragments, white light shone through the earth, and the nearby world turned into pure white for a short time.
In that pure white world, a section of cliff that is higher than the coastline is particularly eye-catching. What is even more eye-catching is the cliff that stands on the cliff and cuts through the clouds like a sharp blade... …castle!
"Art Building!!" Lin Yi's pupils narrowed sharply.
"Old Mo!!!" He suddenly came back to his senses, and the zoomed-in vision immediately shattered, "That's the art building over there!!"
At this moment, Lao Mo was firmly entrenched. The ground was locked on that position, but due to the existence of the storm, it was not completely sure whether there was an art building in it. Hearing Lin Yi's call, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Are you sure...?" Lao Mo couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yi nodded vigorously: "Absolutely, I saw it!"
"You... saw it?" This was the first time that Lao Mo was stunned. Looking at Lin Yi strangely, "You mean...you can see through that storm?"
"Yeah..." Lin Yi was a little unsure at first, but immediately felt certain about what he "saw" with his own eyes, "I saw it, a castle, and a lookout. Isn't that the Art Building? "
Lao Mo was shocked in his heart, but he restrained himself from showing too much on his face. He just calmly said: "I understand a little bit, boss. If it were me, I wouldn't want you to take risks with me. "..."
"Huh?" Lin Yi was confused by Lao Mo's sudden change of attitude. Didn't he just see the art building? Is there anything to be surprised about?
Besides, wasn’t it Lao Mo who observed it first?
Lin Yi didn't know that even if Lao Mo was 70% confident that it was an art building, he wouldn't dare to bet on the 30% chance that it wasn't.
"In that case, let's go." Lao Mo believed Lin Yi's words, "Come to me!"
"Oh, here it comes!" Lin Yi didn't understand what Lao Mo meant, but he did as he was told.
Because in his mind, at such a long distance, the day lilies would be cold if he rushed there, right? Lao Mo must have some special means of traveling, otherwise it would definitely not work.
However, Lao Mo did not move in a hurry. Instead, he took out the scale first, and then stretched out his hand to crush it.
After the scales were crushed, they did not turn into countless fragments as Lin Yi imagined, but the surface was damaged like xylitol, but there was a soft and extremely flexible layer inside. Milky white gelatinous substance.
Lao Mo started tinkering with the scales like an artist making maltose, and then said: "Give me yours too, and squeeze out the remaining value."
Lin Yi was a little anxious at first. But seeing Lao Mo's strange calmness, he couldn't help but wonder: "Old Mo, why don't we set off yet?"
"Once we're sure, there's no need to worry. There will be a gap in the storm. By then we will Go ahead." Lao Mo added, "Originally, I could only wait for the gap to appear before I had a chance to peek inside, and then I had the opportunity to decide whether to leave, but now...it doesn't need to be so complicated."
"Let me get you something to save your life first." Lao Mo said, and began to put the maltose-like substance on Lin Yi's face...
