AnalogHorror: Rule Kaidan 4016

"If I don't cut the flesh, how can I deceive it?" Tian Bufan said coldly, as if he was simply using a consumable item to achieve his goal.

"Perception tentacles are an extension of spiritual power, the will is your self-manifestation on the map level. In theory, as long as your quantum state is stable enough, everything is regenerable. But, at our current level, once the will is damaged, recovery is still quite strenuous."

"As for perception tentacles... just cut and it can be easily restored."

Lin Yi said deeply, "I understand..."

He then plunged deeper and, amidst the encirclement of countless fleshy tendrils, dismantled the brilliant light orb in one go.

The miniature sun-like spherical energy immediately shattered like a balloon, with countless nihility perception tentacles exploding outward like fireworks, leading the "High-level Alien Angel" to frantically devour them.

Lin Yi only felt his soul being bitten by thousands of ants, the intense stimulation making him feel unbearable pain.

"Damn, last time it ate my body, this time my mind..."

"For these two self-servings, I will repay them a hundredfold!"

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, his thoughts turned, actively abandoning a large number of perception tentacles. Amidst the surge of supernatural power and primordial pollution, he carried the will body with the remaining perception tentacles, escaping swiftly like an octopus with ink.

And just as he planned to surface, while entering the Art Building through the Stone Bridge, Tian Bufan's voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Don't surface!"

"Take another route... follow my guidance!"

Lin Yi's heart tightened, but he immediately said: "...Alright!"

Another route exists to enter the Art Building? He was shocked.

Outside the Art Building, there is an invisible shield formed by the Quantum Giant Clock "Holy Hall" as a protective domain.

Back then, when he perceived the Art Building with the gas waves of "Holy Hall", he also didn't see a second path for entry!

"You actually saw it, but you didn't think of it." As if knowing his thoughts, Tian Bufan continued, "You will soon know, follow my senses."

Before the words were finished, Lin Yi felt as if he had a shared perception with Tian Bufan, and some information suddenly emerged in his mind...

In his cognition, a peculiar route suddenly appeared, like a navigation guide, leading him through the black sea.

However, it wasn't long before eerie fluctuations pursued from behind, as some tendrils of the "High-level Alien Angel" began tracking his trail!

Lin Yi then realized he was thinking too simplistically. If he really followed his initial idea to enter the Art Building through the main entrance, the "High-level Alien Angel" chasing him would surely expose him again to the attacks of Night Watchman-02 and Night Watchman-03.

The approach of surviving by self-mutilation did have an effect, but the effect was limited.

Therefore, he grew more curious about the route Tian Bufan provided, curious about how it should be traversed.

But soon, he figured it out.

Because when he traversed a corner, following the movement pattern given by the route, he unexpectedly collided right into a piece of pitch-black rock in front of him...

At that moment, a cold and terrifying breath instantly washed over his will and soul, the obstructive feel of the door attribute and an unbeatable killing intent hung like a blade above his head.

Lin Yi was chilled to the bone, his soul shuddered, his will nearly collapsed.

"Hold on, Old Lin." Tian Bufan's voice resounded in his mind, giving Lin Yi a firm stabilizing shot.

Simultaneously, the long-missed "clang, clang, clang" roaring sounds echoed in Lin Yi's ears, like countless trains whisking before his eyes, bringing up countless fragmented images with the crisscrossing windows. In a trance, those images overlapped and flickered, converging in his mind to form a dim scene...

A deep well, corpses, cold tides, and a deep call...

"What is that...?!" Lin Yi was suddenly taken aback, the train's roaring sounds abruptly vanished, and the blurred scene before him returned to clarity.

Without time for further thought, he realized his will was silently merging into the rock and quickly permeating...

Behind him, the "High-level Alien Angel" tendrils did not pursue any further, seemingly blocked by that rock.

"Are we safe?" he slowly uttered.

"Sort of..." Tian Bufan replied, "Next, just proceed methodically."

"This route is amazing, where does it actually lead?" Lin Yi asked again.

Tian Bufan paused for a moment: "See for yourself..."

After speaking, Lin Yi's will seeped through the other side of the rock...

As soon as he emerged, he found that all around was water, black, seemingly very clear at first glance but murky and pitch-black upon a closer look.

However, this time, the water here was limited, and Lin Yi noticed traces of lush moss growing on the jagged rock walls not far away. The area above the rock walls gradually became smooth, through the floating fluff-like fibers, it could vaguely be determined to be massive piled-up rocks.

There seemed to be some indistinct engravings on the rocks, the engravings were in the same script as the secret pattern symbols on the inner wall of the Bell Tower, undoubtedly here was already part of the Art Building area.

And he was located in the depths of this water-filled, tubular stone wall, where you could still see viscous black liquid.
