Chapter 95 "Welcome to the Art Building


The eerie geometric construct he could no longer fully remember, he only remembered seeing an indescribable, intuitively unfathomable pseudo-geometric object, like a collection of countless irregular structures which were impossible to discern as either concave or convex. Even whether it could be dubbed an "object" was questionable.

The composition of this geometric body seemed intricately linked to the layers of logic between the Teaching Building, Dormitory Building, and the Art Building, but besides that, it left no distinct and clear impression in his perception.

Describing this feeling was like vaguely remembering as a child picking up a stone, but no matter how hard you racked your brain, you couldn't recall any details about the stone.

As if it were just a stone.

As if it were just a geometric body.

As if it were just "1+1=2."

As if everything... was meant to be this way.

Suddenly, Lin Yi shivered, his spine chilling, his sweat cold.

"Damn it... The rewriting of cognition is omnipresent, all-pervading..."

"Did I just... touch some sort of mystery, and in the moment I touched it, were the things related to this mystery preemptively rewritten?"

He gathered his thoughts, glanced down at the Student Souvenir Coin.

The previously unclear number was now etched in his mind.

The number engraved on the Student Souvenir Coin was "Yue-X02305070323".

"It seems that this 'Yue-X02305070323' is equivalent to Maozi's student ID number..."

"0507 means May 7th, does 0323 mean… 3:23?"

He noted that the clock in the Art Office now showed 3:36, but the Art Teacher had started carving the numbers around 3:23.

He silently memorized Mao Feiyang's Student Souvenir Coin number, which might be very useful later on.

The knowledge behind this Student Souvenir Coin just by looking at it seemed extensive.

At least, it looked troublesome for Experience Students who lost their Student ID cards, but Art Students only needed to go to the Convenience Store and buy a new one. Moreover, in an encounter with the sculpture, they could even deliberately discard the Student Souvenir Coin, a tactic that was outrageously absurd.

But on the other hand...

Since Art Students are, to a certain extent, allies of the Sports Students, wouldn't it be possible that if Experience Students lose their Student ID cards, the class teacher might arrange for them to go to the Convenience Store to buy Student Souvenir Coins and then follow the path of Art Students?

Hmm???

Why am I thinking this way?

Suddenly, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, his expression puzzled.

...

Based on the scary scene just before, Mao Feiyang became much more subdued, silently memorizing the Art Student Rules.

Because, according to the Art Teacher, Mao Feiyang had nearly an hour to memorize two sets of rules, which estimated that at about 4:00, the Art Teacher would have other arrangements, possibly throwing him out of the Art Office to forcibly start his Artistic Journey.

Lin Yi didn't know when he would wake from this dream, but the scene earlier signaled him that he needed to make good use of his time, thus he also tried to slightly understand while rote memorizing the Art Student Rules, making use of the protection mechanism present while he was in the dream.

While memorizing, Lin Yi suddenly came to a realization.

The Teaching Building displayed what seemed like eight floors under abnormal weather, and the elevator could only be used during such weather. Could it be that the four floors usually unseen, the "Void Pavilion," were related to the Art Building?

However, comparing traditional architectural styles of Teaching Buildings, the Teaching Building D Block which appeared in Phantom Vision due to falling campus layers seemed more in line with what was described in the Art Building Rules.

"Teaching Building D Block... Art Building... Teaching Building floors five to eight..."

Lin Yi rubbed his temples, planning to jot down these details in a notebook after waking up to see if text could carry this information.

Lin Yi also realized that the Art Student Rules mentioned nothing about street lamps, suggesting that they probably weren't much restricted by cobblestone roads and street lamps while moving.

Besides this, there was a key concern—how to leave the campus.

The Art Building Rules, which spanned thousands of words, aside from the last entry which seemed like a measure of last resort inside a black card sleeve, mentioned no methods of leaving the campus.

Not to mention how to get to the campus gates or even a mention of a school bus.

And how did the Art Student Rules describe this card enclosed in the black card sleeve?

[From this moment, you must rely solely on your judgment to fight for survival. Nevertheless, our school will still provide you with one last assistance.]

[The method recorded on the card is the only way our school has found since its establishment to help you escape the campus.]

[You can only open the card sleeve when the card turns green, never attempt this method out of curiosity.]

Last chance!

The only one!

Absolutely not!

This was like slapping him in the face with the words "desperate measures and solitary strategy.".

When it came to this, it meant that Mao Feiyang had already violated the Art Student Rules, lost the "protection effect" provided by the Art Student Rules, and it was almost akin to saying he was already nearly gone!

So, putting aside this last "desperate measure" card...

"Could it be... under normal circumstances, only Experience Students can leave the campus?"
