“Zealot” _2 “Isn’t it…
Am I the only one who knows nothing?”
In Lin Yi’s cognition, Tian Bufan was the most knowledgeable, but now it seed that Kuai Hongji was the most bizarre one.
His behavior logic was like carrying out a specific task.
His purpose was too clear.
What made Lin Yi even more unbelievable was that he tried to use Vision to observe Kuai Hongji, only to find that Kuai Hongji was like an invisible person, traversing this place filled with mist and contamination, yet all the breath passed through him.
This was sowhat similar to his previous thod of allowing ‘Primordial Pollution’ to move in and out of his body.
But at that ti, he was still selectively absorbing it in small amounts, but Kuai Hongji didn’t seem to be affected at all, as if he didn’t exist.
“Wait…
Doesn’t exist?”
“Could it be that in the ‘cognition’ of these Non-human Units, Kuai Kuai currently does not exist?”
Like the initial Pseudo-Human Sculpture, could it be that they determine each other’s location through mutual perception and then proceed with Void Target Search?
These Human Sculptures couldn’t perceive Kuai Hongji at all, therefore, they couldn’t find him?
This skill was like a very clever “Stealth,” even reaching the level of “Invisibility.”
Lin Yi didn’t know how Kuai Hongji managed to do this.
The cold breath felt almost tangible as it surged from All Directions, and even though it was just a dream, it made Lin Yi empathize as if it were invading every pore of his body, causing his blood to almost freeze.
He was not breathing, yet he could feel every breath Kuai Hongji took seed to inhale the surrounding chill into his heart and lungs, making people shiver involuntarily.
Lin Yi faintly rembered that deep in the dense forest, there was a line where light and shadow divided, a place even Mu Daxian had not taken Maozi.
However, Kuai Hongji had been traversing the depths of the forest for a long ti, yet Lin Yi had not seen such a dividing line.
Not only had he not seen such a dividing line, but he hadn’t even seen those abandoned lampposts.
“Have we not reached that boundary yet?” Lin Yi harbored so doubts, but looking at this increasingly bizarre and unfamiliar environnt, he suddenly realized that maybe it was quite the opposite!
It wasn’t that Kuai Hongji hadn’t crossed that boundary; he had already gone beyond it!
Then Lin Yi followed Kuai Hongji, moving like a ghost through the depths of the dense forest, passing through multiple layers of Human Sculpture patrols, finally arriving at a dimly lit world completely shrouded by lush leaves.
The ancient trees here had been felled in a certain pattern, with so areas turned into completely desolate and cracked land, the vegetation growing from the dense forest towards the cracked land seed to be lting away like snow.
It was extrely abnormal for such a land border to appear in such a damp and deep part of the forest.
It was a desolate land as if forgotten by the world, with several large milky-white stones scattered across the land, these stones from a distance hard to define what material they were made of, but Lin Yi’s first impression was that they seed like sothing that could be used for sculpture.
However, compared to traditional stone material, the stones in front of him seed much harder.
Kuai Hongji stopped at the edge of the Desolate Land, his slender body agilely climbing up the twisted branches of the ancient tree, rging with the surrounding environnt like a stick insect.
At that mont, he resembled a patient Hunter hidden among the serpentine branches, his slightly sinister eyes fixed on those scattered giant stones, observing sothing unknown, but presumably waiting for so kind of opportunity.
Lin Yi then also began observing the large stone-like stones, his gaze piercing through the floating mist, faintly spotting so moving figures.
“Are there actually creatures here?!”
Lin Yi was startled; those figures were still human-shaped, but compared to Human Sculptures, they seed to have an extra special…
“rhythm.”
Suddenly, he noticed that behind a large piece of stone not far from him, another figure also erged.
Due to the relatively close distance, combined with the drifting layers of mist, he could clearly see the appearance of the nearest figure this ti.
It was a person clad in a dark green cloak with a hood, holding so strange utensils in their hands, and seemingly had axes and chisels hanging around their waist, appearing like a sowhat deranged combination of a plasterer and a carpenter.
In the utensil he held, there was also so sticky, milky-white paste.
Due to the severely obstructed view, Lin Yi couldn’t clearly see the expression on the figure’s face, but even from a great distance, Lin Yi could feel the wild fervor, the morbid devotion, and the churning greed and madness emanating from him…
“Zealot…?!”
At this mont, the word spontaneously popped into Lin Yi’s mind, unsure if it was his intuition or derived from a slight fluctuation in Kuai Hongji’s consciousness.
Setting aside whether it had anything to do with Kuai Hongji, his gut told him that this person was a zealot, and those behind him were also zealots.
Lin Yi rembered that the first ti he heard the term “zealot” was from Mu Daxian.
And now, seeing such a scene, the first term that ca to his mind was “zealot.”
These people seed to have characteristics of the Art Departnt, but they lacked the green aura of artistry, instead carrying a mixed gray-green aura.
The dark green robes they were wearing had also beco tattered cloaks.
The style of those cloaks was just like the robes worn by the Art Students, as if they had been torn to shreds by a swarm of bats in a bat cave.
This zealot was gesturing devotedly in front of a large gypsum form, occasionally scooping up so paste from the utensil and saring it onto the gypsum, all the while muttering sothing unintelligible, buzzing in a way that discomforted one’s mind.
Once the zealot had finished applying the paste, he reluctantly left with the utensil, then imdiately, as if gears were turning, another zealot erged from the depths of the mist-covered Desolate Land, taking over his task and continued manipulating the large gypsum form.
He observed the other large gypsum forms again; in this observation, he imdiately discovered that in front of each gypsum form he observed, there was at least one zealot performing so kind of ritual.
Lin Yi instantly realized that these zealots were partaking in so organized, disciplined secret activity.
As he continued observing the large gypsum forms, he discovered that they seed not to be…
“inanimate objects.”
Once he realized this, the images of these large gypsum forms within his “Perception” sohow beca vivid; he could see slight undulations on the surface of the gypsum forms, similar to a cocoon of so creature.
“Thump…
thump…
thump…”
He thought he could hear so subtle sounds, and even the surrounding mist seed to be affected by these sounds, pushing out ripples in a highly rhythmic pattern toward all directions…
A sharp light flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes: “The way these ripples move through the mist, how similar are they to the Grey Mist ripples on the Giant Do field?!”
“Could these gypsum forms be the source of the Grey Mist ripples?!”
“Did Kuai Kuai co here alone because of these large gypsum forms?”
“Or…
is it related to so activity that the zealots are engaged in?”
With this thought, Lin Yi increasingly felt that everyone in the dormitory seed to have co here with mysterious missions, and only he truly ca to “experience seven days.”
No.
From now on, his experience as an Experience Student seed to have already veered off the normal track…
However, just as this thought erged, he noticed that Kuai Hongji’s attention, at so unknown point, had shifted to the depths of the Desolate Land.
It seed that sothing there was truly related to Kuai Hongji’s purpose for coming here.
