AnalogHorror: Rule Kaidan 4016

"Why aren't you speaking?" Lin Yi asked.

"Did you just speak to me?"

"Didn't I?"

"I don't know, you should ask yourself."

"Why were you silent just now?"

Tian Bufan replied, "I was just thinking about some things."

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to be distracted at this moment?" Lin Yi asked a bit uncertainly.

Tian Bufan said, "Next, you will perform the transition to the Art Building Layer, theoretically there won't be any problem."

"Uh? Theoretically...?"

"Stop 'uh'-ing, the flags are set by you, just focus on the transition." Tian Bufan criticized briefly and continued, "No matter where you appear in the Art Building, remember, head straight for the Stone Bridge."

"Uh... the Stone Bridge? Aren't we directly transitioning will to Maozi's place?" Lin Yi asked in amazement.

Tian Bufan said, speechless, "You think transitioning will is that simple and easy?"

"But last time..."

"Last time you infiltrated from the Dream Boundary." Tian Bufan interrupted, "The Dream Boundary isn't even affected by the dimension of time, its position is quite high. If I descended from the Dream Boundary alone, it would work, but we're together now."

"This time, the nature of our will transition is different. Since you're not infiltrating from the Dream Boundary, we must enter through proper channels into the Art Building."

"Therefore, at the moment we complete the will transition, we will surely be sniped by the Night Watchman, and their sniping will arrive faster than our explanation."

Lin Yi realized that the cheat this time wasn't enough.

"So we crash into the bridge and land?"

Tian Bufan said, "No. Our landing point isn't the Stone Bridge but the sea beneath it."

"In that ocean, there's a hidden 'High-level Alien Angel,' remember?"

"Yeah, I remember!" Lin Yi said, recalling how last time it feasted on him like a buffet until he used the Secret Pattern Steel Saw engraved with the little girl to escape easily.

"Thus, we'll crash into the sea, and the 'High-level Alien Angel' won't be an ordinary hungry cat; once we appear, it'll surely react. At that time, let it take the sniping hit for us."

"Then, we'll seize the opportunity to sneak into the Art Building and find Maozi."

Hearing that he wouldn't have to defend against the Night Watchman by himself, Lin Yi felt relieved.

"The 'High-level Alien Angel' taking the sniping hit is great; after all, I've already paid the dues."

"The rest, we'll discuss once we've found Maozi."

"Alright!"

...

As they traversed the path, Lin Yi witnessed numerous particles gathering and dissipating before his eyes. These things were unseen when he transitioned layers following Old Mo, perhaps now due to the enhanced levels of will or differing dimensions he crossed, unveiling such details to him.

Gradually, at the tunnel's end appeared a misty white fog. Beyond the mist stood the black castle perched on the cliff—Art Building 'Black Moon Outpost.'

"Prepare!" Tian Bufan reminded, his loud voice sounding like "two right! Full fuel, full fuel!"

"Understood!" Lin Yi loudly shouted back, his will body soared like a dragon's soul through the tunnel, traversing the layer's boundary, plunging into the Art Building Layer!

In the instant he appeared, he mustered all his strength, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, crashing toward the black sea beneath the Stone Bridge!

Just like when he condensed into a brilliant light ball in the campus, at the moment he emerged in the Art Building Layer, at least three forces swept over instantly!

One from atop the Bell Tower, wielding the Quantum Giant Clock 'Holy Hall,' Night Watchman-02;

One from before the cliff, carrying the Ancient Lamp 'Netherworld Light,' Night Watchman-03;

And another force was the 'High-level Alien Angel' lurking beneath the reef whirlpool near the black sea!

Many other forces swept toward Lin Yi, all unfamiliar yet terrifying, causing him goosebumps, chilling him to the bone!

"So many terrifying beings in the Art Building Layer?!"

Before reaching this level, he had no idea such terrifying entities existed in the Art Building Layer!

The campus only had Boss and the Convenience Store Owner among such strong entities! Hardly counted, the Principal before leaving was counted as one!

The disparity in strength was staggering!

No wonder the Art Building Layer couldn't integrate with reality!

Lin Yi swiftly tore space, dashing toward the black sea, while at that moment, the 'High-level Alien Angel' like a trigger-happy Venus flytrap burst from the sea, rising violently like two mountain ranges to hunt Lin Yi!

Simultaneously.

"Duang—!!!"

Night Watchman-02 struck the Quantum Giant Clock 'Holy Hall,' an invisible yet terrifying wave, under his deliberate guidance, condensed into a sharp blade sufficient to cut through layers, slicing fiercely at Lin Yi!

On the other side, Night Watchman-03 was even more formidable; lifting the Ancient Lamp 'Netherworld Light,' a brilliant beam descended like a heavenly spotlight, crashing down, targeting the location of his will!

Facing three Supreme Judgment-level assault measures, Lin Yi's mind had only one thought—

"Art Building's VIP box—please enroll a proxy eater!!!"

He rushed toward the 'High-level Alien Angel,' creating a twisted ripple in space, recklessly crashing into the black sea!

Lin Yi's will body's ripple wouldn't affect the real world layers, but on the inner world layer level, his plunge was like a boulder thrown into the lake, causing a terrifying wave in the black sea instantly.

In that splash, the 'High-level Alien Angel' burst from the water!

As Lin Yi submerged, the Quantum Giant Clock 'Holy Hall's wave and the Ancient Lamp 'Netherworld Light's beam arrived concurrently, forming a pinching gesture, landing on the mountain-like 'High-level Alien Angel!'

"Buzz—"

When the two forces of high positions from the Mysterious Creation Atlas descended, within the layer, it bizarrely resulted not in a grand commotion, but merely some faint ripples that weren't easily noticeable.

Yet, in the next instant, an unparalleled force crushed the 'High-level Alien Angel's form, forming a collapsing deep whirlpool on its body.

[Screech—]

In agony, the 'High-level Alien Angel' roared painfully, its massive body trembling with 'rustling' sounds, like bumps on a toad, surfacing one distorted, human-like face after another...

The proxy eater paid a painful consequence even with its formidable might.

And submerged in the black sea, Lin Yi faced pursuit and blockage from the 'High-level Alien Angel's body beneath the sea's surface.

Beneath the sea, the 'High-level Alien Angel's body was so vast, its boundaries unclear, stretching like a continental shelf into the darkness.

Countless flesh tendrils extended from its body, resembling seaweed swaying in the sea waves, enclosing Lin Yi's will body.

Each flesh tendril emanated strong devouring properties, like the symbiont nocturnal species clinging to the Bell Tower's outer wall capable of consuming perception.

Lin Yi kept dodging them while calling out, "Young Master Tian, these things keep chasing me, I can't shake them off!"

"Don't rush." Tian Bufan's ethereal figure appeared in his perception, "Wait a bit more, let them increase, then we'll perform Cicada Shedding its Shell."

Lin Yi asked, "What exactly should I do?"

"It's simple, reverse the condensing process once more, directly disperse your perception tentacles."

"The 'High-level Alien Angel' will feast on some of your perception tentacles, and you'll use the chance to secretly outmaneuver, abandon some perception tentacles, then escape into the Art Building."

"Ugh... survival by severing?" Lin Yi gasped.
