Moreover, from the very beginning, Tian Bufan had sealed the entire observatory using the circular stone walls and the patterns on the observatory's stone floor as a precaution, transforming it into a cage that only allowed entry and not exit, thus leaving no opportunity for this will to escape.
After a part of the "High-level Alien Angel's" will parasitized Tian Bufan, it further observed the "Star Moon Night" through him, thereby devouring it.
The "High-level Alien Angel" did not know Tian Bufan and the others' plans, but causing havoc was always the right course of action.
Thus, this led to the current situation.
Yet, Tian Bufan felt no sense of crisis due to this, instead, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of attack was something he could accept.
He summoned the cloth banner again, grasping it with one hand, while his other hand went to grab the flesh eyes on his face. These eyes were the mutations created after the "High-level Alien Angel" contaminated his will body. If he couldn't root them out, they would continuously plague him, parasitize him on a map level, and might even retrospect through his dream boundary to his true form.
Strange as the "High-level Alien Angel" was, the level of contamination it could produce was not merely as simple as it seemed.
Tian Bufan grabbed one of the flesh eyes and tore it off fiercely. The eye made an unpleasant "squish" sound, with bloodied filaments and some pus-like yellowish-green sticky fluid trailing from it.
Without hesitation, he tore it off and threw it into the cloth banner.
As the flesh eye touched the cloth banner, it was immediately absorbed by it.
Tian Bufan continuously plucked off the eyes one by one until his head was riddled with scars like a horrific ball of briquettes, and the cloth banner was adorned with grotesque abstract flesh eyes...
The entire scene was incredibly disgusting.
Meanwhile, the "Star Moon Night" had finally been severely affected by the second contamination of the "High-level Alien Angel," causing Lin Yi, who was continuously searching for star tracks through the celestial sphere, to sense intense layer fluctuations. The previously stable "Star Moon Night" suddenly resembled a storm-ravaged, turbulent sea.
Lin Yi's will body, akin to a small boat, was tossed about in this stormy sea, almost on the verge of collapse.
"Damn... What on earth happened?!" Lin Yi held on tightly to one of the star tracks. The saying goes that when immortals fight, mortals suffer, and if he wasn't there, even if the storm broke through the skies, it would merely be so.
But he was right in the middle, so even the slightest disturbance could lead to his eternal doom!
On the other side, Tian Bufan, who had just cleaned off all the flesh eyes on his head, suddenly shivered as if electrocuted.
In the next moment, he convulsed violently, and suddenly, a copious amount of wriggling viscous substance gushed out of the already honeycomb-like head. This viscous substance filled the void left by the removed flesh eyes, turning into brand-new ones.
"Endless parasitism... until death?" Tian Bufan mumbled.
It seemed he realized something and stopped removing the eyes, instead holding the banner festooned with flesh eyes, floating silently to the side.
"Old Lin... Hurry up, Old Lin..."
...
On Lin Yi's side, things showed no sign of improvement, but the "Star Moon Night" was greatly affected, impacting his perception sky curtain.
Mao Feiyang, who replaced Tian Bufan in operating the celestial sphere, observed everything. Seeing Tian Bufan stuck in a dire situation, he quickly shouted towards Lin Yi, "Don't worry about so much, Old Lin!"
"Even if the 'Star Moon Night' folds, it's okay! Find the intersection point of the star track first! Quick, quick, quick!!"
"Find the intersection first... Okay! Okay, okay!!" At this crucial moment, hearing Mao Feiyang's voice provided Lin Yi with a thread of clarity through the chaos, and his thoughts became clear.
The "Star Moon Night" was indeed affected, but the celestial sphere was not part of the "Star Moon Night"!
Lin Yi swiftly navigated through the star tracks, his will body moving faster and faster, like a signal darting through fiber optics, his perception becoming increasingly clear as everything around seemed to slow down...
His perception far surpassed the limits of "Advanced Perception," making the whole world seem static at that moment.
Finally, he found it!
He found the star track sequence aligned with Tian Bufan's description—arranged in the pattern of "4," "0," "1," "6."
Coordinate point—"Star Track-4-0-1-6"!!
"I found it! Maozi!! I found it!!" Lin Yi shouted loudly, like a sailor in a storm searching for pirates with a telescope atop the mast, directing the helmsman!
"Good!! Good, good!!" Mao Feiyang laughed heartily like never before, "I locked onto it, now come back, Old Lin!! Come back!!"
Without hesitation, Lin Yi extracted himself from the "Star Moon Night" and merged back into Mao Feiyang's body.
"Charge—!!"
Mao Feiyang let out a long howl, and the celestial sphere instantly increased its operational power several-fold. Countless dials and circular tracks spun wildly, resembling a complex time-traveling apparatus!
"Buzz, Buzz, Buzz—"
The celestial sphere vibrated incessantly, as if about to fall apart, the golden-green patina emitting an eerie glow.
Ultimately, as the celestial sphere's vibrations reached their pinnacle, it erupted with a brilliant white light!
When the white light dimmed, Mao Feiyang inside the celestial sphere had already disappeared.
Meanwhile, Tian Bufan, who seemed dead beneath the dome, lifeless in the air, finally moved the moment Mao Feiyang vanished.
"Pursue—pursue—quick—chase after!!"
Countless flesh eyes wriggled, producing a piercing friction noise like large swathes of rubber squeezed together, amidst which a series of urging voices emerged.
The "High-level Alien Angel" attempted to control Tian Bufan's will, making him lead it!
"The time... is about right..." Tian Bufan murmured, his will body suddenly becoming insubstantial...
"Hehehe—" An ominous, sinister laugh emanated as eyes rubbed against one another in the void.
An eerie scene unfolded. The eyes seemingly growing on Tian Bufan followed the fading of his will body—like conjunctive lesions, accompanying him along some path!
Some path returning from the dream boundary to reality!!!
...
May 12, X023, 0:13, Dormitory building, room 1414.
The window by the washbasin was already fogged, dense raindrops battering it like machine-gun fire.
The power-outage dormitory was not at all dark at this moment; an amber light curtain stretched a field of warmth, enveloping the entire dormitory.
This light came from an old kerosene lamp.
An old kerosene lamp swung atop a hand.
A dormitory supervisor quietly stood inside room 1414, the old kerosene lamp in his hand illuminating the whole dormitory.
The light of the old kerosene lamp revealed the dormitory supervisor's appearance, who was none other than—Kuai Hongji.
Kuai Hongji's eyes scanned past his bed, then settled upon Tian Bufan.
Now, the dormitory had six empty beds, with only Tian Bufan lying asleep on his.
Suddenly, Tian Bufan's body shook violently, shaking the whole bed.
Underneath Tian Bufan's skin, one bulge after another surfaced, as though countless beads were rolling, ready to burst out at any moment.
Kuai Hongji watched this scene expressionlessly, placing the old kerosene lamp on Tian Bufan, then slowly speaking, his tone deep and hoarse, as if reciting an incantation:
"Daylight, please open your eyes."
