Capítulo 1401: Chapter 665: Still Infiltrated
Slowly walking along the corridor adorned with various sculptures of mythical beasts, Kuai Hongji soon brought Mao Feiyang back into the corridor of the Art Building.
Upon returning to the Art Building Hall, Mao Feiyang released his grip on the chain.
Kuai Hongji glanced at him: “Next, it’s your turn to lead the way.”
Mao Feiyang nodded slightly: “Mm, last ti I was here, I secretly opened a shortcut, the entrance is hidden in the darkness of the gallery.”
“Old Lin, how much ti do we have left?”
Lin Yi glanced at his watch and said, “It’s 3:12 now…”
“Then let’s try to get it done before 4 o’clock. It’s better to have a bit more ti as a buffer,” said Kuai Hongji. He needed to return to the Dormitory Managent Office before 6 o’clock, then renounce his Dormitory Supervisor identity and leave the dormitory building.
4 o’clock was the ti to release the “Mage,” and they naturally needed a bit more cushion for the ti to leave and return from the Art Building.
“Mm, I’ll do my best,” said Mao Feiyang.
Watching the two reach an agreent in just a few words, Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask, “Do I need to prepare anything?”
“You conserve your energy; the main event relies on you later,” Kuai Hongji said as he and Mao Feiyang slowly walked towards the gallery.
…
The journey was calm, and it seed like no nocturnal species were visible inside the Art Building.
This phenonon was so eerie that even Lin Yi couldn’t help but question it.
Kuai Hongji explained, “With the kerosene lamp and a segnt of the ‘Butcher’s’ spine, not to ntion low-level nocturnals, even the Sneering Angels would be blinded if they dared to take a look.”
The two soon arrived at the gallery.
The twisting darkness writhed like tendrils at the entrance of the gallery, resembling a giant ammonite.
Looking at this gallery, a shiver involuntarily rose in Lin Yi’s soul, and his “Super Boundary Perception” activated silently. A multitude of layers seed to iterate continuously under the gallery, with an overwhelming torrent of information crashing like turbulent ocean waves.
“Wa——wa——wa——”
It seed that within the gallery lay not a path but a rapid current.
Lin Yi perceived an ominous breath with strong contamination gradually spreading, lingering persistently at the gallery’s entrance.
This contamination showed no signs of further expanding outward nor dissipating, as if patiently waiting there like a rabbit at the base of a stockade.
Kuai Hongji and Mao Feiyang simultaneously halted their steps.
“We can’t get any closer,” Mao Feiyang warned.
Kuai Hongji muttered grimly, “The ‘Angel’s’ contamination… It’s finally seeped into the Art Building…”
Lin Yi’s heart sank, speaking in a heavy tone, “Could it be that the High-level Alien Angel has lost its composure and now intends to go down fighting?”
“No,” Kuai Hongji rebutted, “Regardless of how mad an ant on a tree may be, it doesn’t correlate much with whether people cut down trees… The ‘Angel’s’ power perates countless layers and dinsions; I suspect it ‘saw’ the ending, thus trying to ‘checkmate’ preemptively through dinsional and layer penetration…”
“Similar to…’Dream Boundary’ perating the ti dinsion?” Lin Yi squinted.
“Exactly,” Mao Feiyang confird, “On our side, there are three people able to penetrate ti: the Mage exiled by ti, Wei Liang entrenched between monts, and… you.”
“With the ‘Star Prison’ in place, even if the ‘Angel’s’ contamination indeed seeps down, it won’t easily lock onto our spaceti. However, the ergence of clues signifies the countdown to this world’s annihilation.”
“Countdown… You an we can only succeed and not fail? Otherwise, this world will be gone?” Lin Yi’s face darkened, feeling unprecedented pressure.
“World annihilation has nothing to do with us; don’t casually shoulder the world’s burdens,” Kuai Hongji admonished, “The original ‘Holy Sun’ was crushed under that mindset. Do you wish to follow in those footsteps?”
“Being a bit selfish at tis…allows one to approach problems more clearly.”
Mao Feiyang added, “You must realize, Old Lin, humans are destined to die, just as worlds are; the difference is whether our actions can let this world live out its full life rather than die prematurely.”
“Isn’t that still a world-class burden?” Kuai Hongji sneered at Mao Feiyang, “You’ve all been influenced by the ‘Holy Sun’s’ ntality. Old Lin, you must understand that we are outsiders in this death ga. Our aim is to achieve the ultimate purpose, not accumulate more ‘achievents,’ understand?”
“As long as we realize the goal, we must stop at nothing.”
“If achievents can be accumulated while reaching the goal, that’s just a bonus… nothing more.”
Kuai Hongji paused coldly, “…Even others’ life and death, those are expendable.”
Lin Yi was taken aback: “Including…Boss?”
“Not just Boss?” Kuai Hongji chuckled nacingly, a laugh filled with evil… and unprecedented calmness, “Even I, us, are expendable.”
“In the flood of ti, we are all just ants under the wheels; life and death are insignificant on an infinite macro scale.”
“But if we exhaust every possibility to defy fate, then… it’s different.”
“You’ve known that for a long ti, Old Lin, it’s just that ‘the you of now’ hasn’t grasped it yet.”
“Let’s go, into the gallery.”
“If this place gets locked by the ‘Angel’s’ power, then the centuries of efforts by the ‘Original Apostles’ will all be wasted…”
