"Splash—Splash—Splash—"

The sound of waves violently crashing against the mountainside, monotonously repeating, with the wind brushing against the mountain walls, resembling a dull blade cutting through coarse steel wires, emitting a spine-chilling eerie scale.

Beneath the abyss, a "high-level alien angel" may come to attack in another form.

Or perhaps... infiltrate through the layers in a completely unimaginable way.

As expected, a strand of energy soon seeped down from the night sky, a sharp glint bursting in Tian Bufan's pupils as he looked up.

In the layers of space above the dome, countless bizarre ripples suddenly appeared, like an angry child repeatedly pounding on a liquid mercury sphere with fists.

Those distorted ripples, like funhouse mirrors, made the night sky appear eerie, also affecting the "Starry Night" projected onto the dome to a certain extent.

The "Starry Night" was guided by Lin Yi from the circular stone walls up to the sky; other areas might be unable to see it, but in the Observatory, one could clearly see the vast, boiling, and burning starry sky of the "Starry Night."

However, the majestic star trails displayed on the map level by the Celestial Sphere, and the deeper layers of the "Stars and Night" world, could only be truly observed by Lin Yi.

And when Tian Bufan looked up at the night sky, he suddenly noticed some scattered spots appearing on the twisted night sky, which formed a strong contrast in style with the funhouse mirror-like sky.

One was a distorted, collapsing abstract style, and the other was a rule-driven, modern geometric style. Together, they were like a funhouse mirror covered with cluster fear-inducing meat eyes, evoking a psychological aversion.

Even more nauseating was the fear that warped the logic of reality, indirectly infiltrating the "Starry Night" with numerous hesitant and varying-sized meat eyes, causing the image of the "Starry Night" to sprout countless meat particles like blackheads, and then forming dark honeycombs...

Those meat eyes kept growing and enlarging, and the honeycombs kept twisting, like devouring mulberry leaves, corroding the "Starry Night" little by little!

"Surprisingly, it abandoned the option of attacking from the roots of the Art Building, choosing instead to oppress the layers? So the previous bizarre attacks by the nocturnal species were all mere decoys to draw attention?"

Initially, Tian Bufan hadn't considered this layer because the attack on the "Starry Night" presented atop the dome was inherently a meaningless act.

It was just a representation on the map layer, even if eroded, akin to a monkey trying to grasp the moon, having no impact on the "Starry Night" located on the circular stone walls.

"What is its purpose in doing this?" Tian Bufan began to ponder, slowly tightening the cloth banner in his hand.

He didn't rush to act, as the play on layers is not won by brute force alone.

Identifying the opponent's logic and countering or delivering a decisive blow is what a true player should do.

But gradually, as he observed the densely clustered fear-inducing imagery, he seemed to realize something, touching his own face— on the boundary of the dream, he was supposed to have no form, but at this moment he had already manifested.

And when his fingers touched his own face, he shuddered as if struck by a thunderbolt!

All his facial features had vanished, replaced by a face full of meat eyes.

"I understand now."

Tian Bufan spoke slowly, and as he did, all the meat eyes on his face started to "swirl" around, and even more meat eyes appeared inside his mouth.

"To achieve a disguised strike on 'Starry Night' through my 'cognition,' how clever... Even the 'high-level alien angel' has learned to be cunning!"

Despite his face being polluted by the meat eyes of the "high-level alien angel," turning into a grotesquely horrifying appearance, Tian Bufan's thoughts became even clearer.

When Mao Feiyang used the cloth banner to collect the high-purity flocculent material condensed from extraordinary material, he would devour the pure primordial contamination and separate other pollutants, and the "high-level alien angel" took advantage, mixing its contamination into it, becoming part of the impurities separated out.

With its position, it couldn't stealthily enter the fictitious light shield of the Art Building under the domain of two Night Watchmen, so it had to resort to some insidious means.

While other bizarre nocturnal species would only be purely eliminated when intercepted, and wouldn't be consumed or "broken down" by the Art Student, so even if the "high-level alien angel" wanted to infiltrate before, it couldn't; but Mao Feiyang's indulgence provided it an opportunity, bringing its contamination in.

Essentially, allowing part of the will of a powerful and enigmatic "high-level alien angel" to infiltrate the Observatory is extremely dangerous, like inviting trouble into one's house.

But fortunately, the transmission of will requires a carrier or a clear target, and Tian Bufan became its carrier—or more accurately, its parasitic host.
