The Art Student Rules mentioned:
[If you encounter a sculpture while using the elevator, please promptly discard the Student Souvenir Coin before being attacked, and once you return to the Art Building, go to the Art Office to report the loss to the Art Teacher between 0:00 and 6:00.]
However, judging from the current situation, Mao Feiyang hasn't had any "good opportunities" to lose the Student Souvenir Coin on his way; the highest probability is that he actively discarded it due to this sudden emergency.
But that's not right either. If that was the case, how do you explain their re-appearance in the convenience store?
Could it be that they returned and came back again afterward?
The development of the situation seemed even more complex than Lin Yi had guessed.
As they walked, Mu Daxian suddenly halted his footsteps, squinting and sensing his surroundings, his expression gradually turning solemn.
"What's wrong?"
"A big guy is coming..." Mu Daxian lowered his voice, "Shit, don't look down!"
His quick reflexes yanked Mao Feiyang down, thinking to himself damn, that reaction was really fast, but luckily I grabbed him this time.
"Uh... uh uh uh..." Mao Feiyang shrank his neck, "I couldn't help it... What's coming?"
"A piece of good news and a piece of bad news, which do you want to hear?" Mu Daxian asked.
"Let's hear the good one first," Mao Feiyang replied without hesitation.
"The good news is that the big guy isn't an 'Angel'; otherwise, you'd be in danger."
"Uh... you're not in danger?"
"I can fucking run away, can you?"
"..."
"So... what's the bad news?" Mao Feiyang puckered his mouth.
"The bad news is... that thing is stronger than an 'Angel'." After Mu Daxian said this, he seemed to feel that his description was still not sufficient, so he added, "...strong in every aspect."
"Ah, this..." Mao Feiyang held his forehead and bitterly smiled, muttering "this is so fucked up" for quite a while, "Does that mean we're facing a life-and-death situation?"
"Let me emphasize again, it's not 'we'; it's 'you'." Mu Daxian patted Mao Feiyang on the shoulder, "Alright, alright, I know you're panicking, but don't panic yet, I came prepared!"
He patted the cloth bag that held his paintbrushes.
Mao Feiyang was so moved that he almost cried: "Wuwuwu, now I finally understand why they call you Great Immortal. In critical moments, we still have to rely on you, wuwuwu..."
"So, you just relax," Mu Daxian said soothingly, "as long as it's not..."
"Ah, don't don't don't, there's no 'as long as', please no 'as long as'!" Mao Feiyang was getting anxious, "Big brother I'm begging you, don't fucking jinx us at a time like this!"
Mao Feiyang thought, please don't jinx us with the last flag that will kill us both...
Mu Daxian looked meaningfully at Mao Feiyang: "I kind of can't understand your train of thought... To say you understand, damn, you almost got killed, to say you don't, you're suddenly sharp now."
"Your instincts always seem to be faster than your brain, and your IQ and stress responses seem to keep jumping up and down..."
Mao Feiyang: "..."
Mu Daxian said flatly: "But the advantage of this is, at critical moments, you can make some correct decisions, and the downside is... you're prone to inadvertently attract contamination, like just now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Daxian suddenly tensed up, his body like a threatened cat, and Mao Feiyang also frowned suddenly, as if sensing something: "Great Immortal..."
Mu Daxian slightly raised his hand, interrupting Mao Feiyang, then squinted his eyes and finely tuned his senses.
He turned his gaze slowly, and soon noticed that the corridor lights in Teaching Building B, 1F, started flickering...
This flickering was rhythmical, like ripples coming through, and then the incandescent lamps flickered for a moment; as the ripples passed, the incandescent lamps brightened again.
"Looks like this thing has directly landed in Building B..." Mu Daxian's expression was very serious, his hand reaching into the cloth bag, like a detective ready to shoot his gun at any moment.
"Is it that thing you just mentioned that's stronger than an 'Angel'?" Mao Feiyang whispered.
"Shh—" Mu Daxian signaled with his hand, his eyes moving left and right as if listening to something, "Yes, but don't speak now, let me observe."
Mao Feiyang immediately fell silent, but despite this, he couldn't help wanting to take a longer look—if not for Mu Daxian holding down his shoulder.
But Lin Yi was different; Lin Yi could look.
He poked half his head out from the Corridor Bridge, carefully looking down at the floor below.
All the corridor lights in Building B 1F were flashing, with regular patterns, similar to when the Cafeteria's lights went out.
"Rumble..."
Deep thunder rumbled in the sky, like gods wielding giant axes cutting through the sea of clouds, yet though the clouds were brightly illuminated, not a single ray of light managed to break through and descend.
The thick mist surged from the depths of the mountains like volcanic ash, resembling a tsunami about to engulf S City University in the dim world.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
Rustling sounds rose from the trees in the Green Forest Belt; all of them were shaking violently, as if even the vegetation sensed fear.
In this atmosphere, which was oppressively tense, the only light appeared...
A hazy orb of light emerged at a uniform pace from within the Green Forest Belt, drifting slowly towards the Teaching Building...
The incandescent lamps inside the Teaching Building dimmed amid frantic flickering, and finally, like being unplugged, were extinguished one after the other with a "pop, pop, pop..."
