It's outrageous, but it seems to be so.

It feels like modifying reality, but... Lin Yi feels it's not quite that simple.

"Could it really be the 'Reconstruct' that Mu Daxian talked about? Temporarily changing some spatial positions, achieving certain effects for a short time?"

As Lin Yi thought about this, he suddenly felt a familiar sensation—

Modifying spatial positions, reconstructing environments...

Why did it feel eerily familiar?

Hiss...

Suddenly, he had a brainwave and nearly couldn't help snapping his fingers!

"Holy crap! Isn't this just like 'My World'?!"

When Lin Yi first "awakened" 'My World', he had exhausted a significant amount of mental power to edit and reconstruct the Corridor Bridge and the Teaching Building into an abstract and three-dimensional castle that transcended cognition and subverted common sense. This bore some resemblance to the way Mu Daxian and Mao Feiyang manipulated space.

The only difference was that Lin Yi hadn't been able to project it into reality.

"Wait a minute... I awakened 'My World' on the afternoon of May 8th, looking at the time, it seems to be a bit later than Maozi's..."

"If I had to say, those changes seemed to have appeared after I woke up on the morning of May 8th..."

"Could it be that what Maozi transferred over was not just 'contamination', but also part of his supernatural traits?"

Just like the initial contamination, once it was transmitted to Lin Yi, he felt terribly ill that night, and if he hadn't pulled himself together at the critical moment, coupled with Wei Liang's reminders, he would have been in grave danger.

But after he adapted to the contamination, he immediately started to absorb it in his own way.

Is it the same case now?

The "traits" transferred over from Mao Feiyang became the catalyst for him to awaken his own "supernatural traits."

And the reason for this change might be the result of a complex interplay of factors, like having the status of an Experience Student, bearing the Art Building's atmosphere not meant for this level of depth?

It's like a palette. By deepening the understanding and expanding the palette's capacity, then absorbing the paints from beyond the palette's confines, with the introduction of new paints, the palette gains the "possibility" to mix new colors.

Is that so?

...Indeed.

"If there's been a change, then it shouldn't only be me, I'll ask Young Master Tian and the others later..." Lin Yi thought this and suddenly felt something odd. Wei Shan's body clearly had the blue vapor of a Sports Student, could that also have come from Maozi?

Green breath causing blue contamination?

If that's the case, then it can only be explained by the two sides of the same coin as mentioned by Mu Daxian.

The same supernatural power, based on the bearer, exhibits different traits, resulting in the divergence into Art Department branches and Sports branches.

Lin Yi couldn't be certain that this was the principle, but he felt it should be very close to the truth even if his guess wasn't complete.

"So our dorm really is fucking inseparable? One contaminated, five implicated?"

"And what about Liangzi? What's his deal... He just doesn't fit with us!"

Lin Yi curled his lip. Liangzi, that guy... was like an onion, peeling off a layer with a sneaky laugh each time you thought you'd figured him out, revealing a brand-new aspect and giving you countless unexpected little surprises.

He had long since stopped believing that Wei Liang had just lucked through his last seven days, but no matter what, he couldn't understand what was up with Wei Liang.

He couldn't understand in any aspect, and it was getting increasingly confusing.

Beyond that, he discovered that the school's rules for the Art Students and the Experience Students had entirely different orientations.

The Experience Students' rules seemed to emphasize sticking to conventions, reporting to the teacher in case of issues, and the teacher would tell you what to do.

Meanwhile, the rules for Art Students seemed to prioritize spontaneous reaction, solving problems first on their own, and just giving the Art Teacher a heads up afterward was enough.

Because compared to Experience Students, there were really few rules that Art Students needed to follow, as far as he knew, there were only two rules for the Art Department.

At that moment, Mu Daxian's voice rose slowly, "Right, did you have something you wanted to ask me earlier?"

His clothes were nearly dried, and after Mu Daxian had put them on, he began to strip off the very last layer closest to his skin...

"What the hell, you're stripping too?!" Mao Feiyang panicked.

"We've survived life-and-death situations, and you're scared over me taking off my pants, stop being so hysterically prudish," Mu Daxian glanced at him with contempt.

Left speechless, Mao Feiyang thought about it and decided to follow suit, adopting a "me too" attitude.

After getting dressed, Mu Daxian started to pack up the paint cans on the floor, tightening their lids before placing them back into the cloth bag.

Mao Feiyang went over to help.

"Actually, since we encountered the Angel Sculpture, I've been quite puzzled by your actions," Mao Feiyang said while cleaning up, voicing the doubts he had in his mind.

"I know, at first we went to Building C's first floor to use the residual breath of the Security Guard to mask our own, then we went to wash the wounds to lessen the scent of Contamination, and the location change was to drag the Purebred Nightwalkers."

"But later on, when the Student Souvenir Coins could lure the Angel Sculpture away, why didn't we just throw the Student Souvenir Coin out of the elevator to distract them and take the chance to escape via elevator?"

What Mao Feiyang was referring to was the second time they opened the elevator.

"Because it wouldn't work."

"It wouldn't work?"

"You only saw the Angel Sculpture chasing after the Student Souvenir Coin, but you didn't see all the groundwork I laid for that step."

"Of course, it's normal that you don't know, because my approach was based on 'experience' rather than some 'standard procedure for encountering Angels' or anything like that."

"Whether you're an Art Student or a Sports Student, the survival rate when facing an Angel Sculpture is incredibly low because even if you know what to do, your body might not have the capacity to act."

"When you encounter an Angel Sculpture, first thing is don't panic, first figure out which type of Angel Sculpture they belong to."

"There are different types of Angel Sculptures?" Mao Feiyang was secretly shocked.

"There are three types of Angel Sculpture, corresponding to Sports Students, Art Students, and other categories."

"At first I told you to be careful because I thought they were targeting me, but it turned out they were after you."

"Considering both 'Supernatural Power' and 'being doomed', I was in a more severe condition than you were..."

Mao Feiyang murmured softly, "Brother Xian, don't devalue yourself, don't speak so lowly of yourself..."

Mu Daxian gave him a look, "But as it turned out, it was indeed an Angel Sculpture targeting the Art Students, and somehow, it seems you are even more 'doomed' than I am."

Mao Feiyang: "..."

"Ahem! Can we talk about something more auspicious? Like the differences between the types of Angel Sculptures?"

"One type is the Sneering Angel, they appear as if concealing their face and crying, but in reality, there is a strange smile on the face hidden behind their hands, and they manifest with their back turned towards us. Their main goal is to feed on the Supernatural Power within the Polluted."

"When the Supernatural Power within the Polluter is drawn out and falls below a certain threshold, they're pulled into their realm and die an excruciating death, becoming a sculpture."

Upon hearing this, both Mao Feiyang and Lin Yi's minds flashed with the same image—a cave at the bottom of the Teaching Building filled with sculptures.

Most of those sculptures had twisted faces, as if they had suffered greatly before death.

Could it be...they died that way?

Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up—wait a second!!

"If Maozi encountered a Sneering Angel alone, would he subconsciously have run back the same way he came and headed upstairs?"

"Given Maozi's tendency to react before thinking, it's highly likely..."

"And with the staircase suffering some issue due to the layer drop, coupled with the Sneering Angel pulling people down a layer, it's not impossible that Maozi entered that staircase and then..."

"Became one of those sculptures!"
