Rules-related weird stories: 4016
#102 - The lookout
Mu Daxian led Mao Feiyang through the art classroom, allowing Lin Yi to observe the patterns and carvings on the inner walls of the art classroom up close.
These patterns and carvings were very similar to the works carved by ancient people to record certain events or myths and legends, using many non-Chinese hieroglyphs and extremely abstract and freehand narrative techniques.
The four walls of the art classroom were covered with such reliefs, which did not seem to be made by the same person, but what they depicted might be a completely different story system.
And this kind of carving work reached its peak at the background of the central stage, whether it was relief or sculpture, it was extremely exaggerated.
The scene seemed like a certain battle, but it looked as if the non-human side had an absolute advantage... …
It was also like some kind of ancient pilgrimage ceremony, with countless people holding weapons or scepters, facing some kind of creature shrouded in clouds and mist.
However, the part about that creature was destroyed, and some strange runes were left on the remaining carving relics, shaped like feathers or scales, perhaps related to that creature... …
"Could the things recorded on this relief be related to that 'Doomsday'?" Lin Yi's heart moved slightly, and he had some guesses, but there was no way to verify it.
"The reliefs inside the art classroom are as old as this castle, and some teachers even say that they may be older than the history of the castle. The builders of the castle excavated them from a certain ruin and then moved them here."
"There are also some claims that these reliefs were actually created based on the descriptions in a document that recorded mysterious legends."
"They may be related to the legends of the Mayan civilization, or they may have something to do with Norse mythology. Anyway, there are many interpretations."
"But no matter which one it is, their origin may be traced back to the dark period when human civilization was born."
"If you are interested, you can look through the bookshelves to see if there are any related books, but it is best not to ask the teacher questions."
"Ah? Why?" Mao Feiyang asked puzzled.
Mu Daxian shrugged: "There are two types of art teachers. One is the one who gives you student commemorative coins and helps you register. They are actually very good people. You can choose to believe them in most cases, but they don't like us to explore those myths and stories, and they never tell us anything related to those murals and reliefs."
"They always know something, but they refuse to tell us... … They clearly let us go on an art journey, but they hide it, and want us to discover it ourselves."
"This kind of teaching method is easily like the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms in martial arts stories. As it is passed down, only one Dragon Subduing Palm is left in the end."
"You have also seen the other type, which is the art teacher who looked very wrong from the beginning. Some of them are people who have gone astray on the art journey, and there are big problems with their understanding of themselves or the world. They are always talking nonsense... … Some of them are not human at all. Anyway, when you encounter them, you will instinctively have a sense of resistance."
"Although they won't regard you ordinary art students as a target for rejection, I think you are a special case."
"You are lucky. You happened to encounter the anniversary of 'Doomsday' when you came here. The bell rang by the Night Watcher deterred them. Otherwise, they would have discovered your uniqueness like me."
"At that time, they will definitely pester you endlessly, and they will not give up until they turn you into their kind."
"So when you are alone, you must be more careful. Of course, you can act with us, but if you want to act with us, you must understand our rules in advance, so as not to cause unpleasantness."
Mu Daxian talked eloquently, leading Mao Feiyang around the huge art classroom like a tour guide, and in a blink of an eye it was 12:40.
"It's almost time, do you have anything else you want to ask?" Mu Daxian stopped near a certain area near the central stage.
Mao Feiyang listened all the way, and his buzzing brain became even more buzzing. He had heard almost everything Mu Daxian said, but he digested very little. It felt like visiting a museum with a tour guide.
"You said too much, I actually don't remember much," Mao Feiyang pouted honestly.
Mu Daxian said: "It's normal. The art journey is a process of reshaping self-awareness. You just need to have a general understanding now. If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me or other classmates."
Just as he was talking, an art student walked over not far away and greeted Mu Daxian: "Lao Mu, are you going sketching?"
"Of course, Mao Feiyang, do you want to go together?" Mu Daxian pointed to the door leading to the observation deck and invited Mao Feiyang, "Let's go to the observation deck over there."
"Go." Mao Feiyang nodded. Mu Daxian said so much, this was the only thing that overlapped with what was said in the art student's code, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
The three of them first went to the tool rack to get drawing boards and drawing equipment, and then carried these equipment into the internal passage of the art classroom and walked towards the observation deck.
Lin Yi stroked his chin, looking at the backs of Mu Daxian and another art student thoughtfully.
Obviously, Mu Daxian's words had a strong personal will, especially when he heard that Mao Feiyang was going to the cafeteria to eat, he unreservedly showed a very obvious resistance, it seemed that the art student's code stipulated that he must go to the cafeteria once every 24 hours, which was a torture for him.
And after confirming that he could not persuade Mao Feiyang, he stopped saying anything, but adjusted his emotions and then began to guide Mao Feiyang, trying to divide Mao Feiyang into their camp.
Although it is said that the group of weird art teachers are indeed very wrong, their art students are obviously not "ordinary" art students... …
I still remember when Mu Daxian led the art students and the weird art teachers and others to "burst their energy" and compete with each other's aura, both sides made him feel a sense of discomfort, but compared to the strong malice of the weird art teachers, the malice of the art students was significantly less.
This kind of malice is like when a person faces a beast, he can clearly feel the killing intent from the beast, but he won't feel this way when facing some other beasts... …
Therefore, he believes that the words of art students cannot be fully believed.
This is the same as when Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang warned him not to think.
Whether it is Xu Shunkang, Xie Huayang or Mu Daxian, what they said is based on their own position and then put into the other party's position to say it.
For example, Xu Shunkang thought that he was just an ordinary experience student, and then gave the one-size-fits-all suggestion of "don't think", even the head teacher said the same thing at the beginning, but what happened later?
After the head teacher realized that his inspiration was extraordinary, he was very afraid that he would really listen to his advice and say the same thing as Tian Bufan: "Highly inspired people must think to ensure a safe state."
Now, Mu Daxian is obviously the same. Standing from the perspective of an art student senior, he gave Mao Feiyang, who looked very "artistically affinity", a suggestion of "what he thinks Mao Feiyang should do."
However, such a suggestion seems to be contrary to the art student code, so Lin Yi believes that Mu Daxian wants to lure Mao Feiyang into becoming an art student like him.
However, can an art student like Mu Daxian still obtain the kind of "protection effect" mentioned in the art student code?
Lin Yi felt that it was impossible.
Thinking of this, he sweated for Mao Feiyang with incomparable worry.
"Maozi, this is falling into a tiger's den..."
He felt that the only people he could trust in the art building were himself, the code, and the point clearly mentioned in the code: [In class, the art teacher's words are absolutely trustworthy.]
If Tian Bufan's game theory is used to substitute, Lin Yi believes that Mao Feiyang's start is definitely a hell difficulty + nightmare start.
Others have a red buff or blue buff start, Mao Feiyang is the enemy's crystal... just about to go to the opposite side to send spring water.
But this is not the key point. The key point is that the pollution Mao Feiyang receives will be transmitted to the rest of them. It is really a matter of honor and disgrace.
"Maozi, ah, Maozi... tsk! We must quickly discuss a solution with Young Master Tian to rescue Maozi from the art building!"
In this dream, Lin Yi has had such thoughts more than once, and now this thought is becoming more and more intense.
Just then, a damp sea breeze blew through the passage, interrupting Lin Yi's thoughts and pulling him back.
The latest and fastest novels are all on 6_9_book_bar!
He stared slightly, and found a dim sky at the end of the passage.
The wind on the observation deck seemed to be very strong, so that the candlelight on the candlestick in the passage was swaying.
Lin Yi found that the walls of the passage were also carved with some reliefs. The uneven areas on these reliefs showed some magical shadows under the candlelight. With the swaying of the candlelight, the reliefs and shadows were constantly interacting and changing, as if they were playing some kind of stop-motion animation.
Lin Yi speculated that these murals might have something to do with the books placed in the bookcase, but he was just a "passer-by" and had no way to stop and watch.
He quickly walked out of the passage against the sea breeze, and followed Mu Daxian and the art student to a platform with a wide view.
As the field of vision widened, Lin Yi first saw a dim and depressing sky.
The thick clouds were like fake ones covering the sky, covering the whole world in darkness. It was noon at this time, but the surrounding scenery was no different from the night.
Below the clouds was an endless ocean, with a faint white mist permeating the black tide, like boiling hot water emitting wisps of steam. These steam gathered between the sea and the sky, forming a terrifying fog.
This fog enveloped almost the entire ocean, and the art building on the building cliff seemed to be the only building in the world where this layer was located.
In front of the art building is a sea, outside the art building is a mountain, and outside the mountains and seas, there are only the sky, the ocean, and the vast gray fog.
This world is too empty, so empty that it is extremely false, and even a piece of nothingness.
And the art building seems to have been pulled out of somewhere by a supernatural force and then thrown here.
"Hoo... Hoo... Hoo..."
Lin Yi's ears were full of whistling wind, mixed with the sound of waves, and the sound of waves washing on the reefs.
Suddenly, he noticed that there was some kind of architectural shadow on the cyan stone bricks in front of him. Because the color of the stone bricks was relatively dark, like the kind of green bricks that had grown some moss, he didn't see anything at first.
At this time, he looked back and immediately saw a spire hidden in the darkness.
Gothic architecture has become an epitome of an era with its unique architectural style, revealing a strong color of mysticism.
And this spire standing in the sea breeze and mist renders this mysterious atmosphere to the fullest.
Its sharp top seems to pierce a hole in the sky, and the colorful stained glass windows on the spire seem to form some kind of religious pattern. The dim yellow light flows between the patterns, looking like a mysterious symbol.
Behind the spire, you can vaguely see the outline of a clock tower. There seem to be some shadows of crows on the clock tower, but Lin Yi, who has experienced almost this whole night of dreams, vaguely feels that the thing is not a crow, but some kind of strange sculpture.
On the cyan-gray brick wall not far below the spire, there are also a large number of rough, twisted characters painted with yellow paint:
[Welcome to the art building.]
This familiar scene instantly brought Lin Yi back to the moment when he returned to the teaching building during the day!
"Finally arrived here!" Lin Yi's heart jumped. Isn't this the visual hallucination he had when he returned to the teaching building after eating during the day and stared at the moss?!
"The time point in the dream has caught up to this moment! So next, Maozi should set up an easel to sketch, and then have a cross-layer eye contact with me at that time!"
Lin Yi was instantly excited. He had a strong expectation for the "visual hallucination" from Mao Feiyang's perspective. There might also be some clues hidden in it about the return path between the layers!
He took a deep breath and concentrated his attention.
Unfortunately, after searching several times, he finally found that there seemed to be no pendulum clock on the observation deck. Wouldn't that mean he couldn't see the time?
Mao Feiyang also noticed this and couldn't help asking: "Is there no clock here?"
Mu Daxian heard the words, and couldn't help but look at another art student. The other art student smiled and said: "The wind is too strong here. The sea breeze will interfere with the swing of the pendulum clock, affecting the vibration frequency of the pendulum, and thus affecting the accuracy of the time."
"But you don't have to worry about the time problem. Sketching is a thing that helps art education, but few people can stay on the observation deck for a few hours."
Thank you to book friend "泠歆兮哦" for the reward!!
PS: I have a cold... This chapter was difficult to write. If the weekend is difficult, I will take a day off. I will tell you in advance, but I will try my best to maintain the update. I'm banging to everyone in advance Orz...
