Protagonist interpretation rules

Chapter 9: Wandering in the story
Where else can "white lead in a bottle" escape?
In this world built of pure colors, where else can 'white' hide?

The girl's white dress was just the remnants left behind when it fled in a hurry. Thinking of this, Bai Yue raised his head.

The ultramarine sky curtain is naturally not monotonous.

In addition to the vermilion of the sun, Bai Yue also saw a pure background color, which hooked the tip of the twisted dome, trying to hide his bloated body behind the exhibition hall.

It's a cloud...

The corners of the young man's mouth quirked upward little by little.

To be honest, Bai Yue has never been so happy and excited.

Too much.

Because there are so many interesting things.

The boundless and strange 'depth', the emotion with 'gravity', the 'work' that anchors the way back, and the naturally 'active' inspiration...

He recalled the girl's narration. The young man stared at the strange world in front of him. Gradually, Bai Yue became more and more looking forward to it.

The original author's poor writing can still be so interesting, but... what about the works of other creators?

How many more wonderful worlds can I see, how many more spectacular things can I witness?
Bai Yue smiled silently, but in the face of this expectation, reason was like a moth to a flame, fear was as low as dust, and death was just a rope for cowardly people to bind themselves. The young man turned around and faced the door of the art exhibition hall.

The giant door made of pure copper is solemn and solemn, and two faceless angel statues made of marble stand beside the door.

They hold scales, books and swords in their hands, looking down at the insects on the ground indifferently.

Bai Yue pressed his hands on the surface of the door, and with a slight exertion from the boy, Bai Xinghe, the protagonist in the story, opened the door to destiny.

This time, he will re-interpret his future.

"Let's go."

Bai Yue's figure disappeared into the darkness, and his tone revealed an eagerness to try: "Let's seize the inspiration to escape."

The girl did not respond, but silently followed the other party.

Bai Yue's temperament is indeed different from before...

Lin Wannan thought to herself that the young man with low self-esteem and cowardice seemed to have completed his transformation, but...

The girl looked at Bai Yue's back. In the unknown and terrifying deep building, the boy's pace was relaxed and happy, as if he had returned to his hometown.

His transformation seemed overly exaggerated.

In a daze, Lin Wannan recalled Bai Yue's smile just now, and she looked dazed. At this moment, the curious expression of the young man overlapped with the appearance of another person in the girl's heart.

An extremely absurd thought quietly crept into the girl's mind.

——Bai Yue and Teacher Gu are both crazy monsters.

She shuddered momentarily.

No!No...what was I thinking just now?How could someone as gentle as Teacher Gu be a madman?

Lin Wannan held her forehead in pain. She took a deep breath to get rid of the sudden thoughts. However, before she had taken a few steps with her head lowered, her eyes were suddenly blocked by her back.

"We're in trouble."

Bai Yue, who was leading the way, stopped where he was.

"trouble?"

Lin Wannan's heart tightened and she quickly followed Bai Yue's gaze, only to see a thick darkness in front of the corridor.

"Have you seen the monster?" the girl asked in a panic.

"There are no monsters."

Bai Yue shook his head. He took a step forward and stretched out his hand. In Lin Wannan's sight, the boy's arm instantly disappeared in the darkness, as if it had been cut off by something.

But before the girl could scream in surprise, Bai Yue pulled his arm back again, his brows frowning slightly. "Since this is a world dominated by color, what we have in front of us is not a shadow in the ordinary sense."

Bai Yue explained: "The shadows in this exhibition hall are all 'substantial' black. Without a light source, we cannot continue to explore upwards."

The young man turned back to look where he came from.

Although he pushed open the door, allowing the vermilion color outside to 'soak' in, as the corridor extended, the red color became lighter and lighter, finally ending next to the two of them.

Moreover, this art museum is similar to a Western castle or church, so the structure of the entire corridor is very retro, without any modern electric lighting equipment on the top.

Bai Yue looked around and found a candlestick embedded in the wall.

The young man walked forward and found that the candles on the left and right sides of the candlestick had been burned out. Fortunately, half of the candle in the middle was left.

Next, where should we look for the source of fire?
Bai Yue fell into thinking.

Do you want to borrow some help from your 'painting student friends' outside?If you don't want to borrow it, just poke it with your chin?
The young man smiled mockingly to himself, and then dismissed the absurd idea, but soon, a suspicion appeared in Bai Yue's heart.

"Lin Wannan, take off your earrings and give them to me."

He turned around and faced the girl and made his request.

"Ah? Oh..."

Although she didn't know what Bai Yue planned to do, Lin Wannan still followed the other person's idea. She took off the earrings and handed them over.

Under the girl's confused gaze, Bai Yue held the red gemstone earrings on his fingertips.

Then, he attached the red earring to the wick at the top of the candle. The boy shook his fingers slightly, and the red left a slight afterimage on his fingertips.

The hard gemstone earrings instantly become soft and ethereal.

"hiss--"

Bai Yue threw his hands and let out a cry of pain, but his eyes were full of the joy of success, and red flames danced in the girl's surprised sight.

"What I thought was indeed correct. The rules in this deep world are actually quite monotonous."

The boy raised the candle: "We just need to put the right color in the right place."

The orange color slowly expanded and began to flow slowly around.

Along with Bai Yue's footsteps, the color of the candlelight also advances, with orange spreading through the pure black, revealing a clearly visible outline.

Bai Yue and Lin Wannan continued to move forward.

However, the strange thing was that the two of them noticed that the narrow corridor behind the door seemed to be endless, and the cold walls on both sides seemed to extend endlessly forward.

The wall was covered with blood marks scratched by fingers, which looked a little oozing.

"I still can't find the stairs going up..."

Lin Wannan crossed her arms uneasily: "Are we going the wrong way?"

"There's just one road here."

Bai Yue held the candle, and the boy's steps were still unhurried: "I have also observed that there are no hidden grids on the walls on both sides."

"It's really interesting..." He touched his chin: "The horizontal space of this exhibition hall cannot be so large."

"Then what should we do?" The girl's tone became panicked: "How about we withdraw first and think of a solution?"

"Don't worry, the change is coming."

Bai Yue stood there. He put the candle against the wall, and a mural suddenly appeared in Lin Wannan's sight.

The two finally encountered the first exhibit in the art exhibition hall.
