Chapter 1104: Chapter 518: Target of All Arrows (Part 2)
But he had no mind to pay attention to anything; in front of him, there was only the lamppost ahead.
“Wei Sang, are you still there?”
“Old Lin, I’m here.” Wei Shan’s deep voice sounded like that of a security guard, though not quite as robust.
“What ti is it, Old Lin…” Wei Shan asked.
Lin Yi glanced at his watch, uncertain from which point in ti it stopped making errors: “20:56, four more minutes, the elevator will open… but I feel like there’s not enough ti.”
“Don’t even think about being on ti for the elevator.” Wei Shan shook his head, “If we can get back to the dormitory before 22:00, that would already be good.”
Lin Yi nodded slightly, then said, “We seem to have been walking towards this lamppost for quite a while…”
“You suspect sothing’s wrong?” Wei Shan clenched his teeth, speaking with a warmth that seed to emanate heat, “But I haven’t slled any danger yet…”
“But I feel sothing’s off…” Lin Yi lowered his voice, pointing to the lamppost ahead, “We’ve been walking for a minute… and still haven’t reached it.”
Hearing this, Wei Shan gradually frowned, as if he had thought of sothing, gently squatting down.
“Old Lin, wait for a mont.”
Wei Shan placed his palm on the ground, as if sensing the earth’s pulse.
Lin Yi looked at Wei Shan curiously; in fact, he had tried extending his perception, but under such extre unusual weather, his sensory ability couldn’t stretch far, leaving his head sowhat dizzy.
From this, he concluded that pure perception couldn’t yield effective and accurate feedback under abnormal weather conditions.
But if consequences were disregarded, he felt he could resort to Heavenly Demon Transformation for forcefully sensing the world—but what would be the point of that?
Lin Yi focused back on Wei Shan, and as the perception deepened, Wei Shan’s breath beca robust, his breathing through mouth and nose resembled jets of steam, his entire being resembling a steam engine ready to go.
Wei Shan’s eyes glowed ever brighter, with a sky-blue aura swirling around him, within which seed to erge a faint, illusory, and stout figure similar to a security guard.
He had seen such a figure beside a trash can when Wei Shan went to the cafeteria through another path.
Gradually, Lin Yi noticed strange changes in the cobblestone path underfoot, unclear if related to Wei Shan’s actions, but Lin Yi watched as the cobblestone path lost its uneven texture, becoming a soft surface adorned with floral patterns…
An elusive thudding sensation transmitted through the soft ground into his soles, and he felt as though the earth had co alive.
「Rustle, rustle, rustle…」
The downpour swept over the ground, turning its surface slick and glossy, the floral patterns fading bit by bit, until only another dark shadow remained…
This shadow under the rain beca smooth as glass, reflecting like a mirror.
At the mont he felt a vague familiarity with the mirrored surface, beneath it, a sneering angel’s figure began to erge…
Lin Yi’s heart jolted; he suddenly realized that the campus had dropped layers, the cobblestone path had disappeared, and the remaining part of the ‘ground’ supporting him now intermingled and rged with his shadow!
[Howl…]
The eerie, ethereal laughter of the sneering angel pierced through the rain curtain, reaching Lin Yi’s ears with unnerving clarity.
Lin Yi froze montarily; his gaze was still locked on the shadow, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed an unexpected figure appearing beside him.
It was a Deceitful Angel Sculpture, and that laugh from earlier, it originated from here, not as if “echoing by his ear,” but truly “whispered into his ear”…
And as he returned his sight to the shadow, there appeared another sneering angel sculpture, half its body already erged from the shadow!
“What the hell?! Wei Sang!” Lin Yi shouted.
Wei Shan was still at his side, enveloped in steam.
Upon hearing Lin Yi’s cry, he snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, “Sothing’s wrong, Old Lin! I made a mistake! The road is still the road! But the distance has been extended!”
“The ground beneath us is being stretched; I can’t tell if the entire campus is being stretched, or just the path under our feet!”
“But I hope… the entire campus has been stretched! Otherwise, it ans we…”
Lin Yi’s pupils quivered slightly, and he picked up the thread, “It ans we’ve… been targeted?!”
[Howl—]
The sneering angel let out a cold, sinister laugh, slowly crawling out from the shadow.
Their movents were peculiar; when Lin Yi noticed them, they were static, but when he didn’t, they were moving slowly.
Those sneering angels climbing out of the shadow seed like a superior nocturnal species, while the one beside him posed in a typical stance with its face covered by its hands, yet to transform from sculpture to translucent angel form, seemingly not awake.
But Lin Yi knew, they were never asleep.
The reason they seed not awakened was that they hadn’t been ‘activated’ yet.
What puzzled Lin Yi was, why hadn’t the sneering angels dragged him out this ti.
Since the sneering angels could erge from the shadows without relying on his legs, why go through such trouble earlier?
While subconsciously pondering this, Wei Shan abruptly pulled out two hooks, slamming them down onto the ground.
「Clang!」
The seemingly stretched, soft ground was surprisingly tough; the hooks, made from the broken arm of a sneering angel, barely sparked on impact!
“Run! Old Lin, run! Take Wei Liang with you!!”
Wei Shan’s low growl echoed in Lin Yi’s ears, while simultaneously, Wei Shan’s figure dashed from the corner of his sight.
Confirming it was indeed Wei Shan, Lin Yi decisively hoisted the zombie-like Wei Liang onto his back.
But at the mont he lifted Wei Liang, a sudden inspiration struck him, finding differences and similarities in the appearances of the sneering angels using the simplest comparison!
The similarity was that the sneering angels in Class B2’s bookshelf area, those whose arm he had cut off earlier, and these current sneering angels, all erged from his shadow, all ca from the angel sculptures within the Art Building layers.
And the difference lay in—Wei Liang!
Earlier, when the sneering angels erged, Wei Liang was awake; they could only crawl out using his body as a dium. But now, Wei Liang had beco a zombie-like entity…
This ant that when Wei Liang was awake, he had so sort of powerful suppression over the sneering angels?
Is that true?
It seems… it is…
Because assuming Wei Liang’s threat to the sneering angels was valid, then the scene in the bookshelf area could really be explained as the sneering angel erging from his shadow only to be instantly countered by Wei Liang.
So, subsequent sneering angels didn’t dare do the sa, having to wriggle out through so dium, like along his limbs…
Now, with Wei Liang temporarily unconscious, the sneering angels were again unrestrained.
Like mischievous students in a study hall without a teacher.
Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial truly had sothing special!
But with ti pressing, Lin Yi had no chance to dwell on this, rushing forward with quickened steps.
Currently, the path was rely lengthened, the layer integration yet incomplete; once it finished, true peril would ensue.
For now, so problems could still be solved by sheer speed.
