#223 - Deep into the green belt
Mu Daxian quickly rushed over. When he saw Mao Feiyang standing at the boundary of light and darkness, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although Xiao Mao was a bit of a scoundrel, he was still good at sensing dangerous things... …
“Brother Xian, look there! There... …are all student commemorative coins! ! ” Mao Feiyang pointed to the shelves in the shadow area and said in a somewhat dry voice, “But I feel something is wrong, really wrong, but I can’t say what’s wrong! ”
“Being able to sense a problem is already very good.” Mu Daxian patted Mao Feiyang on the shoulder, paused, and then said, “Besides the student commemorative coins here, have you looked at the other shelves?”
“All... …ah no, almost all of them... …”
“It seems my guess was right.”
“Ah?”
Mu Daxian looked at the student commemorative coins in the shadow area and said in a deep voice: “Actually, you’re right, these are all real student commemorative coins, including all the shelves... …It’s just that they were taken away by someone.”
“Ah? Could it be the owner of the convenience store took them?” Mao Feiyang asked subconsciously.
Mu Daxian nodded and said: “That should be the case. I saw these just now. There were still some areas behind that I didn’t have time to look at before I was called over by your commotion... …Now it seems that there probably aren’t any more behind.”
Mao Feiyang panicked when he heard this: “Then, what do we do? Can we get in here?”
“Don’t do anything stupid.” Mu Daxian held Mao Feiyang’s shoulder, “What’s in front of you is an absolute dead end.”
“Then what do we do? Are we just going to leave like this?” Mao Feiyang said unwillingly. The main thing was that if they left like this, wouldn't they have come to the cafeteria for nothing?
“Leave?” Mu Daxian frowned, “Damn, what nonsense are you talking about? We’ve already come, how can I, Mu Daxian, return empty-handed?”
“Ah?”
“Stop ‘ah-ing’, let’s go to the shopping terminal first!” Mu Daxian identified the blue [Exit (Arrow)] sign and ran away, “I didn’t expect that I would have to liven things up again!”
Mao Feiyang: “? ? ?”
… …
Inside the convenience store, filled with red alarm lights and rapid beeping sounds, two figures quickly shuttled between the shelves and soon arrived at the shopping terminal.
As soon as Mao Feiyang stood still, Mu Daxian pointed to the convenience store exit next to the shopping terminal: “You go first, wait for me in the same place after you go out, I’ll go get some student commemorative coins and come back.”
“Ah?” Mao Feiyang was stunned. If he could get student commemorative coins, why didn’t he get them just now and is getting them now?
“Ah your sister, some trump cards are so terrifying that I don’t even want to use them myself, hey! Go!” Time was tight, Mu Daxian kicked Mao Feiyang in the butt, “Go out and wait for me, I will be back!”
“These should be my lines... …Ah... …Ah... …” Mao Feiyang fell behind the door of the convenience store like a Grey Wolf, and the echo quickly disappeared... …
At the last moment, Lin Yi saw Mu Daxian turning around at the shopping terminal, but before he could take a closer look, his vision followed Mao Feiyang through the door of the convenience store... …
But what was even more terrifying was yet to come... …
After leaving the convenience store, Lin Yi found that a large area of thin mist had appeared on the edge of his vision... …
“This... …? ”
“Am I back in that ‘transition animation’ again?” Lin Yi was a little at a loss, “What the hell is going on, a transition at a crucial moment? Did Maozi and the others get the student commemorative coins or not?”
This was related to his plans after waking up.
He suddenly thought of something and quickly looked down at his watch.
「5:10」.
“It’s only 5:10 now?”
The last time there was a transition, if Lin Yi remembered correctly, the time was 4:20, which means that from the time Maozi was chased by the Smiling Angel to 「now」, such a long dream had actually only passed 50 minutes?
“It seems there’s still a chance to observe for a while... …”
Sure enough, the misty clouds around Lin Yi quickly faded away. As his vision cleared, he found himself in... …a green belt.
「Green Belt? Why am I in the green belt again? 」
He quickly consciously took half a step back to see if he would appear in Mao Feiyang’s perspective again this time.
Sure enough, as soon as he retreated, he floated out of Mao Feiyang’s body like a little ghost.
「It seems it’s still Maozi’s perspective! Good! 」Lin Yi couldn’t help but clench a fist, then quickly looked around, trying to determine the time again.
He looked back and actually saw a familiar building.
「Cafeteria? 」
Just below a hillside outside this green belt, a huge cafeteria was stuck in the gully like a big corn, but viewed from this angle, the cafeteria bathed in the morning light looked like a sunflower.
The cafeteria itself was like a flower core, and the passages scattered around it were like petals facing eight directions, and the overall architectural form was like a flower.
Lin Yi immediately determined the time. This point should be a continuation of just now, no, no, no, no... …
「What’s not quite right... …」
He looked at the cafeteria again carefully, and then immediately had a flash of inspiration—the angle of the light was wrong!
This strong light is not morning light, but... …noon light? !
「Damn... …Did the time jump to after lunch? 」
Lin Yi stroked his chin and pondered.
So... …even if Mu Daxian really got the student commemorative coins, they didn’t have time to catch the last elevator at 6:00.
But now what he is most concerned about is whether they got the student commemorative coins or not.
While thinking about the problem, he hung behind Mao Feiyang not far away like a lonely ghost. Due to the existence of the vision mechanism, he didn’t have to do anything and was led by Mao Feiyang.
Suddenly, Mao Feiyang exclaimed, drawing Lin Yi’s thoughts back.
“Damn! ! ! ”
Lin Yi quickly looked over when he heard the sound, and as soon as he looked up, he met a faceless human face! !
「Oh my god! ! 」Lin Yi felt that he was about to be scared to float up. He saw a humanoid sculpture standing in front of him, and around him... …there were scattered humanoid sculptures.
The standing positions of these humanoid sculptures were not dense, but the number was really too large, and you couldn’t see the end at a glance!
And on Mao Feiyang’s side, the situation was exactly the same as on his side!
Lin Yi instantly reacted. Did Mao Feiyang walk into the sculpture phalanx?
「What’s going on here? ! 」Lin Yi was originally worried about whether something happened in the “morning” that caused Maozi and Mu Daxian to get separated, and then had to come here for some special reason. As soon as he had this thought, he heard Mu Daxian’s voice.
“Calm down a bit, don’t be surprised.” Mu Daxian, carrying a drawing board, popped up not far in front of Mao Feiyang, “They won’t pose any threat to us during the day, just keep following me.”
As Mu Daxian spoke, he even reached out and tapped the face of a nearby human-shaped statue, making Mao Feiyang's heart pound and tears almost well up in fright.
"Brother Xian, I believe you, I really believe you! Don't touch them anymore, if we wake them all up, we're doomed..." Mao Feiyang was on the verge of tears, "We're like sheep entering a tiger's den now!"
Mu Daxian shook his head helplessly and said self-deprecatingly, "Don't be afraid, in their eyes right now, we're one of them. Their limited intelligence is all used to be wary of sunlight. Let's go, keep up."
Mao Feiyang followed closely, but couldn't help but say, "Brother Xian... we've already got the student commemorative coins, wouldn't it be better to find a place to hide until 0:00? Why do we still have to come here to climb mountains and risk our lives?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Daxian pondered and said, "We can indeed find a place to hide."
"In fact, for you, the optimal solution right now is to return to Class 2 of Group B, see if the new homeroom teacher is there. If they are, register directly and then go to the classroom to study, have dinner, and attend evening self-study like a normal student, and then sneak out of the classroom to take the elevator when it's almost 0:00."
"Uh... is it still too late for me to go now?" Mao Feiyang asked tentatively.
"Do you want me to hit you with this drawing board?" Mu Daxian pretended to reach for the drawing board.
Mao Feiyang quickly jumped back a step like a monkey, then put on a cheeky, fawning smile: "Hehe, Brother Xian, that's what I was thinking, but my body is still honest. I'll follow you through thick and thin."
Mu Daxian smirked: "It's not quite 'through thick and thin,' but it'll be tough enough for you."
"Uh..." Mao Feiyang's smile instantly froze on his face.
"Brother Xian, Brother Xian..." he followed with small steps, "You're not going to poke the hornet's nest of these pseudo-human statues, are you?"
"No."
The latest and fastest novel is at 69shu.吧!
"Oh... that's good." Mao Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to poke the hornet's nest of the angels."
"It's okay, it's just angels... ANGELS?!" Mao Feiyang's tone suddenly rose sharply, like a young singer hitting a high note on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, almost losing his breath.
Mu Daxian said with a smile, "I'm teasing you."
"Brother Xian, I don't believe you're teasing me. Don't comfort me... are you really going to die?" Mao Feiyang put on a smile that was more like a grimace, his face full of disbelief.
Mu Daxian said, "You got tainted with His aura, remember?"
"Uh, I remember." Mao Feiyang nodded. Seeing that Mu Daxian was serious, he also restrained his playful expression.
"Once we're tainted with His aura, the only way to get rid of it, besides waiting for it to dissipate on its own, is to return to the Art Building."
"But these days happen to be during the 'Gray Mist Intrusion,' so the probability of us encountering angel statues is greater than the probability of us successfully returning to the Art Building. So, we must find a way to cover up that aura in order to avoid the next wave of Grimace Angel's pursuit."
"The aura you're tainted with is very faint. As long as you give me some time to prepare, it can still be covered up."
Mao Feiyang's eyes lit up: "Is this what you meant by 'it can be done today'?"
"More or less." Mu Daxian said, "Adding some details should be enough."
"Then we're now...?"
"Find streetlights, find... abandoned streetlights." Mu Daxian narrowed his eyes.
"Abandoned streetlights?"
Mu Daxian nodded: "Find those streetlight poles without streetlight numbers, and see if the light bulbs are there. If they are, get a few."
"Can the light bulbs cover up His aura?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
After saying that, Mu Daxian continued to lead Mao Feiyang through the green belt, and the location became increasingly deep...
Lin Yi just floated beside Mao Feiyang. Through their conversation, he learned that Mu Daxian had indeed obtained student commemorative coins from the convenience store.
This couldn't help but make him sigh. Mu Daxian really had a lot of trump cards...
Moreover, Mu Daxian was not only skilled but also had wide connections. It seemed like everything in the campus would give him some respect, as if he had eaten the 'Face Fruit'.
Most importantly, Lin Yi had no way to use the existing conditions to deduce how Mu Daxian managed to get the student commemorative coins from the convenience store.
That clear distinction between light and darkness was like a dividing line between life and death, making it impossible to cross.
Yet, Mu Daxian still managed to get the student commemorative coins from within.
Unfathomable!
This was truly unfathomable!
Maozi had really latched onto a big shot!
The only problem was that the big shot seemed to want Maozi to stay in the Art Building and become an art student like him.
Lin Yi sighed and rubbed his forehead.
Oh well, let's take it one step at a time. Let Maozi save his life first...
If he couldn't even save his life, what was the point of talking about escaping?
Only the living have the capital to act.
...
As they continued to go deeper, Mu Daxian and Mao Feiyang gradually passed through the so-called "edge" of the green belt and entered a deep forest.
The terrain here was somewhat sloping, and there were no longer any pebbles underfoot, only soft sandy soil covered with fallen leaves.
A faint mist filled the forest, swirling around the trees and human-shaped statues like transparent ribbons.
The light here was noticeably dimmer, as if a layer of light gauze enveloped the entire world.
The two continued to tread on the damp sandy soil, traversing through this dense forest.
The trees towered into the sky, their branches intertwined, and sunlight shone through the sparse gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.
The mist here was sometimes thick and sometimes thin, making the scenery ahead hazy and mysterious.
Feeling this kind of atmosphere, Lin Yi suddenly shuddered. When he was walking on the mountain road full of streetlights before, he felt that there was something wrong with the green belt. Now, as Mao Feiyang went deeper into the mountains, he finally realized what the problem was!
Sound!
There were no animal sounds in this deep forest!
In a normal mountain forest, the more uninhabited it was, the more creatures lived there. Not to mention mountain rats and pheasants, there should at least be birds and insects!
In this season of May, with occasional plum rains, the mountains shouldn't be like this.
But here... it was silent!
Lin Yi held his breath and carefully felt the surrounding environment, but the more he felt, the more panicked he became.
There were no animals at all in the mountainous area where S City University was built!
Or rather, there wasn't a single living animal!
The only living things in this campus seemed to be...
Students and teachers!
Thank you to book friend "usjdnshhs" for the reward!!
