Swan Academy
All the gentlemen present, including the students who were discouraged by failing the test, looked up at this moment and looked at the young man floating high in the sky.
Yi Chen's floating height has reached the roof. If there is no restriction from the roof, he will even fly out of the school.
The depth of consciousness he reached has surpassed normal values, perfectly matching the thinking space drawn out by the principal, constructing a real spiritual scene that is indistinguishable from reality.
All senses will be 100% restored within the thinking space, and the test will be more intuitive, more real and effective.
Under the crying mask, the principal's eyes also changed. She rarely saw a young student with such an interesting brain and such deep thinking.
…
Rainy Night Gallery
“It’s very clear, very real… almost indistinguishable from reality.
It was completely different from the hazy, uncontrollable and confused feeling of being passively pulled out of consciousness and returning to the old world. This felt like it was really happening.
In other words,
The principal is responsible for supporting me. Based on my weaknesses, is the thinking space constructed by consciousness so dark? "
Fingers rain sound,
A shadow outside the window,
And a series of weird and disturbing abstract paintings, such as "Woman of Mesadela", which depicts a woman with her head tilted 90 degrees. She is out of tune with the pedestrians around her. She stands in the crowded street and stares out of the frame with bloodshot eyes.
Yi Chen habitually wanted to open the suitcase and take out the hatchet and gun, but found that he had nothing in his hands.
There was no response when I tried to use plants.
The consciousness that came to the mind space was restricted by the principal to an ordinary body.
However, when Yi Chen pinched his arm hard, he felt not pain, but itching... This means that what Teacher Zed taught him was not affected. This change in the essence of the body is related to the essence of the soul and cannot be blocked.
"Although I don't know whether the speed of time here is consistent with reality, I still have to hurry up."
Since this is a gallery,
No matter how eerie or weird it was, Yi Chen immediately put himself in the shoes of a visitor attending an art exhibition and carefully observed each painting.
Before starting to appreciate it, Yi Chen took a quick look around.
The square gallery consists of four corridors and has no entrances or exits.
Although the length, window position, carpet color and other details of each gallery are all the same, Yi Chen still uses the names of the paintings at the beginning and end of the gallery to distinguish them and number them.
The number of paintings in galleries 1 to 3 is equal.
Only Gallery 4 was missing a painting in the middle, leaving a blank wall. However, after inspection, it was just an ordinary wall and there was nothing special about it.
The only difference may be the key to breaking the deadlock in Yi Chen's eyes.
Next is to appreciate the paintings one by one.
Unlike his usual precise memory of scene details, Yi Chen did not deliberately memorize the painting pattern in his mind.
This kind of art form cannot be fully memorized or reproduced through memory alone.
Instead, try to understand, feel and appreciate the essence of the painting by combining it with the name of the painting.
When I stopped at the fourth painting - "Orange Abandoned Baby", a thunder flashed outside the window again, accompanied by the sound of glass breaking.
The sudden abnormality forced Yi Chen to turn his head to look.
The square window in the middle of the gallery had an extra exaggerated crack due to the thunder just now.
"A disturbing factor?"
Yi Chen's expression did not change at all, and he was ready to continue immersing himself in appreciating the paintings.
However, when his gaze returned to the painting "Orange Baby", the baby who was supposed to be under the orange tree had disappeared, leaving only the scattered swaddling clothes.
The change in the painting instantly alerted Yi Chen.
WaWa!
A burst of crying came from deep in the corner of the corridor, and all the candles nearby were extinguished.
Slowly,
A yellow baby with orange peels replacing its skin crawled out of the darkness.
Its completely ripped mouth revealed insect-like fangs, and its abdomen had strong grasshopper-like appendages.
The moment it appeared, it leaped directly towards Yi Chen, its fangs locking onto his carotid artery.
"This is… "
Relying on his combat experience, Yi Chen immediately made a quick dodge.
While completely avoiding it,
The body is like a bent bow,
Hands become hammers,
It fell vertically! It perfectly hit the orange abandoned baby in mid-air, and the huge force smashed it heavily to the ground.
Don't give the monster any breathing space and step on it with your shoe.
Pah~ Ignoring the slime on the sole of my shoe, I continued to appreciate the next painting.
And use part of your brain capacity to think quickly about what just happened.
"I didn't expect that the mental test initiated by the principal would be dangerous. If I die in this test, the test may fail directly.
As for the materialization of the painting, there are two reasons that can be deduced based on the situation just now.
1. Lightning flashes outside the window
2. My subjective appreciation of the painting
Meeting these two conditions at the same time should cause the painting to materialize... Next time lightning strikes, try not to look away, and perhaps you can avoid this situation.
Also, I have to speed up.
The gallery is not stable. Once these cracked windows are broken, all the ghosts crawling outside will rush in, and the test will probably fail. 』
While thinking, white steam overflowed from Yi Chen's brain again. As his concentration increased, his appreciation of the paintings gradually accelerated.
The interval between each lightning strike is almost the same.
When Yi Chen was appreciating the ninth painting - "Labyrinth Shadow", lightning flashed and was accompanied by a crisper sound of glass cracking, and a larger crack appeared on the window.
But this time Yi Chen did not turn his head, staring at the painting in front of him.
The monster with a humanoid body and a sunflower-like head in the maze still exists in the painting and has not come out to cause trouble.
"Nice! As long as you keep your eyes on the painting and keep your subjective consciousness unshakable, the things in the painting will not be able to escape... It is indeed a pure thinking space, and subjective consciousness plays a large role. It is really interesting."
Having reached a conclusion, Yi Chen no longer paid any attention, discarded all distractions, and immersed himself completely in appreciating the paintings.
As the tasting of galleries 1, 2, and 3 came to an end,
Finally, we came to the slightly different Gallery 4.
In the middle of the corridor, there is a missing painting on the wall facing the window.
Snap! Lightning flashed.
The violent thunder shattered a small piece of the cracked window, and the rain poured in eagerly, pouring into the gallery in the form of a stream.
Yi Chen remained unaffected. He ignored the layer of water covering the soles of his shoes and carried out the final tasting at the fastest speed.
When the view moves away from the last painting.
Fragments of paintings that have been understood and digested flash back in the mind, effectively interweaving and splicing together to form something completely new.
Yi Chen moved to the middle of Gallery 4.
Looking carefully at the empty white wall,
Try to imprint what comes out of your mind and wait for an opportunity.
Bang!
Yi Chen blinked as the lightning flashed.
There was a painting on the empty wall in front of him... This painting was the result of the intersection of Yi Chen's brain and the combination of all the paintings.
It's called "The Door".
Painted between the frames is a brand new iron door, which is the 'exit' leading to the outside world.
It was at this time that
Bang! The windows behind him shattered completely.
As the broken glass pieces flew past Yi Chen, there were also ghostly arms grabbing at them.
Unfortunately, as he moved forward, all his arms grabbed nothing.
Unaffected by anything, Yi Chen continued to stare at the painting and approached it calmly.
When the distance between the two was less than ten centimeters,
Perhaps I was looking too hard at the iron door between the frames, and it seemed as if I had seen it before.
Perhaps his complete concentration on appreciating the paintings caused him to fall into a deeper state of consciousness, even exceeding the principal's set value.
Some strange brain signals suddenly emerged.
These signals directly affect the current thinking space, like dark threads crawling towards the Door.
The iron door between the paintings becomes more and more real, even showing traces of rust and scratched metal doorplates.
Yi Chen couldn't control himself and instinctively raised his hand to touch it.
When he touched the cold iron door of the painting room... the sound of the door hinges rubbing against each other echoed in his mind.
The gallery, the rain, and the shadows before my eyes no longer exist.
But he did not return to Swan Academy... but fell into a deeper consciousness space, an independent space derived from his own consciousness.
More authentic and free from outside interference.
Yi Chen opened his eyes wide. He had never been so panicked and frightened before.
"How could this happen... Why did you come here!?"
The increasingly excited emotions caused strands of black to spread between the eyes, even turning them completely black.
