Chapter 633 Fusheng Wei Liangtianzun's Face!
Seeing that the Russians had truly neutralized Night Watchman-02's "Sanctuary" offensive, Lin Yi naturally dared not be careless and quickly devoted all his attention to merging with "Starry Night".

The vast expanse of stars seemed to be filled with endless changes, and no matter how he tried to perceive them, he couldn't find a starting point...

"Young Master Tian, ​​please give me some guidance! How do I find those coordinates?"

Tian Bufan said, "Don't be impatient. First, integrate this part of 'Stars and Night' into your sensory celestial screen, and then proceed to the next step! The Russians won't be able to hold out for much longer!"

"The Night Watch only unleashed a sonic wave, as it needed to be wary of the 'angel's' projection; this wasn't its full-force attack!"

"That's exactly what gave us the opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi realized that Mao Feiyang's countless shattered fragments of will were constantly dissolving in the process of eroding the sound waves!
Although they are a trinity and all possess almost identical self-repair capabilities, they still have a long line of attacks to endure. Even if it's a war of attrition, once their recovery can't keep up with their consumption, they will eventually be trapped in a dead end.

Moreover, Tian Bufan is right.

Night Watchman-02 has too many concerns. Externally, it has to fight against the "angel" projection, and internally, it has to maintain the stability of the Art Building. Under these circumstances, the damage of the sonic waves it unleashes is limited.

Even so, when facing the Night's Watch's offensive, it was tantamount to a slow death!
If this is the case on the human side, then the situation is even worse for the non-human units!

They don't have so many scruples!
Lin Yi quickly increased his efforts, using the amplification of the celestial globe to not only allow his perception of the sky to merge with the "Starry Night".

……

The Night Watchman on the Clock Tower-02 frowned as his own sonic waves dissipated.

"Multi-layer overlay... distorted layers... using weakness to counterbalance... such delicate artistic techniques should have been lost long ago... it's simply impossible for them to exist in this era..."

"The armillary sphere has also been activated... Over at the observatory... who exactly went there?"

On the clock tower, Night Watchman-02's gaze was calm, his expression deep, but there was a hint of contemplation in his murmurs.

Its divine might was like a prison, and its pair of bright golden eyes seemed to simultaneously hold the blooming and swirling of a cold moon and a blazing sun. It looked at the celestial globe, but could only see the celestial globe shrouded in a hazy mist.

Even with its current eyesight, it cannot see through the situation inside the celestial globe after it is turned on.

"There's a familiar smell...like that broken-word kid..."

“Strange… Could it be him…” The Night Watchman’s mind conjured up the image of Lin Yi, but it was quickly replaced by another figure. “Or perhaps… it is… ‘him’?”

That sleazy guy who signed the deal with him in such a flippant and irreverent tone—Wei Liang.

Its eyes gleamed as it swept over the turbulent black sea. The reflections in the black water even showed glimpses of the school campus…

Unfortunately, it needed to use more of its power to block the "angel" projection from suppressing and encroaching on the art building; otherwise, it could have illuminated the entire campus and gotten a glimpse of what was going on.

“If this step is also part of ‘his’ plan…” Night Watchman-02 pondered, subconsciously stroking the quantum giant clock “Sanctuary” beside him, “then…”

The situation just now was special. As a "night watchman," when in doubt, it should act first and report later. Directly killing the enemy is what it should do.

But now, having sensed something amiss, it quickly recalled the completed transaction—it realized that the campus had changed in the past few days because of Lin Yi—or even "Lin Yi and his group."

“03…” he spoke slowly, his voice piercing through the space, like a whisper, echoing heavily, and drifting to the ears of “Night Watchman-03” on the edge of the cliff.

"03..."

"0……3……"

"3..."

The Night Watchman-03, carrying the ancient lamp "Mingzhao," was also preparing to attack Lin Yi. Its hand was placed on the somewhat murky lampshade of the lamp, as if it were brewing something.

But just then, it heard the voice of "Night Watchman-02" in its ear.

It hesitated and asked, "What is it?"

The voice of Night Watchman-02 slowly rang out: "The situation at the observatory has changed... Abandon the 'attack,' and if necessary, provide some... 'assistance' while ensuring your own condition..."

Night Watchman-03 paused for a moment, then abruptly changed its attack to one with assistance, catching the creature somewhat off guard. It then nodded slightly and silently said, "As you wish."

It didn't ask any more questions, but silently reached out and wiped the lampshade of the ancient lamp, "Mingzhao".

The next moment, the thunder in the endless night silently slowed its torrent, and the torn black sky slowly healed, as if the sky had closed its eyes.

And all of this was simply because it slightly manipulated the ancient lamp "Mingzhao".

X023年5月11日，22:53，观星台。

As if sensing something, Tian Bufan, who was operating the armillary sphere, looked up at the dark night sky and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Very good, the Night's Watch has taken care of things here."

"I just don't know if it will help us hold off those filthy things when they come at us... even just a little bit would be helpful."

As Lin Yi activated the sensory celestial screen to synchronize with "Starry Night," he asked in surprise, "What does this mean? Have they discovered it's us?"

"For them, no certainty is needed; just a slight conjecture is enough to change the tilt of the scales of life and death."

"For us, they're 'neutral' for now; all that's left is to deal with the other filth..."

"Aside from the threats from the 'Higher-Rank Alien Angels' and the 'Angels,' the other filth is at most just a little disgusting."

"Hurry up, this is one of the few vacuum periods available."

"Here it is! Here it is!" Lin Yi shouted excitedly.

"In fact, he kept pushing for synchronization, even though he didn't know what to do after synchronization, he still chose to blindly follow Tian Bufan's orders."

On the other side, Mao Feiyang's "egg fried rice" fighting style finally completely absorbed the Night's Watch's attack after suffering heavy losses himself.

The remaining fragments were pieced together and slowly coalesced in the layers, first becoming a colorful, human-shaped phantom like shards of broken glass, and then transforming into his "human form".

"The gap is still huge... but thankfully it hasn't exceeded my tolerance threshold, otherwise you two would be waiting to collect my corpse." Mao Feiyang grinned, his will body noticeably becoming more ethereal, like a faded old photograph. "I want to eat tomatoes." Finally, he muttered, "Any kind of tomato will do, anyway... I'm starving."

Tian Bufan said, "Something is gathering outside the observatory. Maozi, go and block it again."

"Damn it, wasn't it supposed to be a relay battle? We agreed to take turns blocking, why am I the one going again?" Mao Feiyang yelled, his mouth twisting in pain, but he still reluctantly drifted towards the circular stone wall at the edge of the observatory.

"There are differences between the two types of battles, but as things stand, you'll have to go and take them on one by one for now."

Mao Feiyang pouted, his mind filled with images of Tian Bufan yelling, "You! Go and drive them around!" before he landed on the circular stone wall.

He glanced around and said, "They're all those symbiotic nocturnal creatures that can eat me whole!"

The symbiotic nocturnal species is the same nocturnal species that Lin Yi previously found on the outer wall of the clock tower, capable of gnawing on sensory tentacles.

They are remarkably similar to the nocturnal creatures of the Black Sea, and when they gnaw on the sensory tentacles, it's as if the flocculent material is gnawing on the skeletal golden body.

Tian Bufan said, "That's right, but they're the advance party. If we don't take care of them, the 'High-Ranking Alien Angels' will seize the opportunity to break into the art building's territory, so I'll leave it to you."

"They really don't give the cattle and horses a chance to catch their breath..." He said no, but as soon as Mao Feiyang finished speaking, he raised his hand and started working hard.

He picked out a stone-carved symbol from the circular stone wall and then grabbed it directly into his hand.

With a sudden flick of his wrist, the stone inscription instantly transformed into a strangely shaped long weapon, its form somewhere between the Roman spear of ancient Europe and the halberd of ancient China.

He stood on the circular stone wall, wielding weapons, harvesting the sticky, wriggling symbiotic nocturnal creatures like cutting leeks.

One crop after another, these symbiotic nocturnal species, after being harvested, float in the air like plastic bags, recombine with each other, and surprisingly become like fluffy material...

Besides the symbiotic nocturnal creatures, a large number of hound-like nocturnal creatures appeared on the outer wall of the observatory. However, their forms were not pure; they resembled slime-like hounds with bodies that were somewhat mixed with solids and liquids, like a series of black slugs transformed into mad greyhounds.

Mao Feiyang kept swinging his weapon, but with each swing, the weapon in his hand became dull.

The stone carvings on the circular stone wall were being eroded at a visible rate, as if they had endured an extremely long period of wind erosion in a very short time.

Mao Feiyang slammed the weapon back onto the circular stone wall, then summoned a new weapon using a different stone carving symbol to continue blocking the invasion of the symbiotic nocturnal species and the hound-like nocturnal species.

If you look down from the layer hierarchy, you'll find that Mao Feiyang at this moment looks exactly like he's playing a roguelike tower defense game...

He darted and weaved along the circular stone wall, constantly using the carved symbols to summon all sorts of weapons, clearing away the nocturnal creatures that were about to climb up.

Despite this, a massive number of nocturnal creatures still surged upwards along the outer wall of the art building, like countless ivy vines or ever-spreading moss, densely packed, making people feel increasingly uncomfortable the more they looked at them.

Mao Feiyang bounced around like a gecko-like weapon master, hacking away and slashing, constantly harvesting these polluted nocturnal creatures of various shapes.

Tian Bufan was right. These things are indeed easy to deal with, just like the sculpture formation in the campus. With their skill level, they could go in and unleash a powerful move, reaping a large area like they were in a game of Musou. But there are just too many of them, and they simply can't kill them all.

Mao Feiyang's actions were like blocking the estuary to hold water; no matter how much you attacked, a constant stream of Night Stalkers would keep popping up.

"I'm starving, I'm starving..." Mao Feiyang yelled as he hacked and slashed.

As he watched the Nightwalkers he had slain turn into fluffy matter in the air and slowly recombine into other forms, a frenzied glint suddenly appeared in Mao Feiyang's eyes.

He suddenly jumped onto a stone carving, slapped it with one hand, and pulled out a huge cloth banner from it.

He waved the cloth banner, and the wriggling, fibrous material gathered towards it!

Suddenly, black smoke billowed out from the huge banner.

"If this banner of mine were in a fantasy novel, it could easily be considered the Emperor's Banner!" Mao Feiyang said smugly and self-satisfiedly.

If someone asks: Fellow Daoist, why is your Human Emperor Banner emitting black smoke?

Then he must have been grinning disdainfully: This is purple aura coming from the east, so purple it's almost black, hehehe!

"I'm starving! I'm starving!" Mao Feiyang shouted as he pulled the fluffy stuff out of the cloth banner.

When they were pulled out, the flocculent material wriggled in Mao Feiyang's hand like an oversized virus.

It has a core, and then tentacles extend all around it, making it look quite like a headless octopus.

Mao Feiyang hesitated for a second before putting it in his mouth, chewing it noisily, and swallowing it.

As Mao Feiyang chewed it, the tiny tentacles formed from the fibrous material kept wriggling and twisting around his lips, as if struggling to escape.

But Mao Feiyang's mouth was like a shredder, swallowing it bit by bit with crisp chewing sounds.

After swallowing a large chunk, Mao Feiyang's previously dimmed will suddenly brightened a bit. He then continued the process of cleaning up various nocturnal creatures, collecting the fluffy material with the cloth banner, and swallowing it.

Octopus sashimi!

"Jumping squid!"

"I'm starving! This is delicious! So delicious!!"

He devoured everything in a frenzy, his will acting like a power plant, transmitting wave after wave of extraordinary power far purer than the original pollution.

Lin Yi, who was synchronizing with "Starry Night", suddenly sensed this power, and his spirits were lifted.

"Holy crap, the Russians are eating nocturnal creatures directly?!"

Tian Bufan said, "Those nocturnal creatures are a collection of pollutants, but if you remove the harmful parts, what's left are all good things."

"The 'immortality substance' that many forces and organizations are desperately seeking is precisely these substances. Records related to them can be traced back to Qin Shi Huang sending Xu Fu on his voyages to sea."

"But in reality, high-end ingredients don't even need any cooking."

While simultaneously listening to "Stars and Night," Lin Yi said, "Xu Fu set sail, but he sailed out into the Black Sea?!"
