Chapter 40 Sea Breeze, Thunder and Sculpture

Chapter 40: Sea Breeze, Thunder and... Sculpture

Lin Yi looked at the words on the signboard. He felt like he knew every word, but couldn't understand them when put together.

It was like doing some weird reading comprehension test, and the questions were written in a foreign language.

"There is only one way to the gymnasium...?"

He tilted half of his head away from the sign and looked towards the gymnasium.

Excluding the road they had already walked in front of the signboard, there was indeed only one road from the signboard to the gymnasium, and there were street lights on the side. There was no road without street lights installed.

"If it's a road that doesn't exist, why write it down?"

"Is it because of the reason behind?"

"If it rains on the way there, we need to rush to the gymnasium or teaching building as soon as possible..."

"This is consistent with the description in the student code of conduct. Rainy and foggy days are abnormal weather. When you encounter them, you need to take shelter immediately. However..."

However, [Physical education class was cancelled due to rain. 】

"Physical education class was cancelled due to rain, but the sign said emergency measures in case of rain..."

"I write this specifically to show that this situation is very common and happens frequently."

He looked up at the sky. It was clear, without even a rain cloud in the sky.

He felt the environment again. There was a gentle breeze and no strong wind.

"Could it be that... the weather was fine when we left the school building, but it turned bad once we got to the gymnasium?"

The kind of "strong winds" that need to be specifically marked on the sign may have something to do with the weather...

"It's a bit strange, but... the weather is so good right now, so let's not speculate on this."

He shook his head, then looked at the contents on the notice board several times, making sure that he had memorized all the emergencies before preparing to set off.

Wei Liang on the side had been waiting for him for a long time.

"After all, Liangzi has been here once, so he has obviously memorized the rules by heart."

While Lin Yi was feeling emotional, he discovered that Wei Liang's eyes were fixed on the lamp posts on the road, as if he wanted to imprint the locations of those lamp posts in his eyes.

"Liangzi, let's go!" Lin Yi reminded.

“Let’s go!” Wei Liang also said, “Oh, by the way, have you memorized everything? Time is tight, if you haven’t memorized it, then…”

"I've memorized it." Lin Yi interrupted him.

Wei Liang's mouth twitched slightly, and he swallowed the words "It doesn't matter if you can't recite it, I have special skills."

He changed his tone and muttered, "Uh... you've memorized it after all this roundabout way?"

"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned. "Didn't you memorize it?"

Wei Liang shook his head and said, "I can't bear it."

“Huh…?”

"It's too complicated." Wei Liang waved his hand. "This can be simply understood. Just listen to me. There are so many things on this page, but in the end, there is only one way to do it."

"Ah? A method?" Lin Yi was greatly surprised.

He had always thought that Wei Liang was lying on the flat floor, but he didn't expect that Wei Liang had already climbed several floors.

I rely on!

Chang Wei, you still say you don't know martial arts?!

Seeing Lin Yi's surprised expression, Wei Liang was instantly pleased, so he said loudly: "Look at this whole page of rules, it seems to cover everything, but in fact, we only need to look at this one."

He pointed to the fourth item, emphasizing "Hold on to this street lamp tightly."

"As soon as it starts to rain, we won't do anything, including looking for the teaching building or the gymnasium. We can just hold onto the lamppost and wait for the security guard or the gym teacher to come."

"Ah, this..." Lin Yi was shocked. This behavior sounded outrageous but...it didn't seem impossible?
"Am I right?" Wei Liang said proudly.

Lin Yi was still stunned. Wei Liang's approach was equivalent to skipping the first three options and directly "actively" choosing the fourth one.

That is to say, in Wei Liang's world, there are only two situations:
First, the weather was good and it was natural to arrive at the stadium;
Second, the weather was bad, so I stayed under the tower and asked for support from the jungler.

Instead of lumping several options into one, all options except the AFK option are simply crossed out.

Fundamentally choose the two techniques of lying flat.

Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang, feeling a sense of admiration.

He slowly raised his thumb and uttered a word: "Six."

"But...if we really encounter the second situation, it should be windy and rainy, right? Are you sure we won't get soaked if we hold on to the lamppost?" He asked the fatal question.

Before he finished speaking, Wei Liang rummaged around in his crotch pocket for a long time and pulled out something that looked like a plastic bag crumpled into a small ball.

"I brought my raincoat."

"Oh, right..." He reached into his back pocket again, then pulled out a small plastic bag and handed it to Lin Yi, "I prepared one for you, too."

"Pick one?"

Lin Yi stared at the raincoat in the guy's hand almost in a daze. He never expected that he really came prepared.

"Don't be in a daze, let's go!" Wei Liang stuffed a raincoat into Lin Yi's hand, pointed at the classmates who were gradually setting foot on this road, and said, "Look, they are all on the road. It's getting late. Let's go!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Wei Liang urged as he stepped over the sign.

Lin Yi reluctantly put away his raincoat and quickly followed.

As he crossed the sign, he suddenly thought of something, looked down at his watch and noted the time.

14: 14.

……

X023年5月7日，14:15。

Lin Yi and Wei Liang walked together on the road leading to the gymnasium, and many classmates also walked with them on this road.

Lin Yi kept the warning on the sign in mind and observed the numbers on the street lights as he walked.

After walking for 2 minutes, Lin Yi suddenly sniffed.

"Liangzi." He whispered, "Do you smell anything?"

Wei Liang seemed not to have heard his words and continued walking forward.

"Hmm?" Lin Yi frowned subconsciously, rushed over and patted Wei Liang on the shoulder, "Liangzi!"

Wei Liang was startled, turned his head in confusion, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I said, did you smell anything?" Lin Yi asked, "Also, did you hear me calling you just now?"

"Did you call me?" Wei Liang pointed at his nose. "I might not have noticed it just now. By the way, what smell did you say? Why don't I smell anything?"

"Didn't you smell it..." Lin Yi suddenly remembered that he couldn't see the teaching building just now. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Then should I not tell you?"

Wei Liang was slightly startled, and his expression suddenly became serious.

He squinted his eyes and stared at Lin Yi for a while, then handed the other raincoat to Lin Yi.

Just when Lin Yi was wondering if Wei Liang had some hidden agenda behind his actions, Wei Liang cautiously asked, "Why don't you smell it... could it be the smell from the raincoat? They were somewhat influenced by that position..."

Lin Yi: “…”

The painting style suddenly became very strange. Lin Yi's hands trembled and he wanted to stuff the raincoat into Wei Liang's mouth.

"Get lost!" he said unhappily.

Wei Liang shrank his neck, took back his raincoat angrily, and continued walking towards the gymnasium.

Lin Yi glanced at the raincoat in his hand, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not have the heart to force himself to smell it.

He closed his eyes, focused on his sense of smell, and took a deep breath...

The air penetrated into his nasal cavity like a cloud of smoke, passed through his respiratory tract and entered his lungs. After rolling around in his lungs, it slowly rushed out from between his lips... "There is indeed a smell..."

He smelled a faint fishy smell mixed with a thin stench of decay.

It was as if someone had used a shovel to hit the mud upwind, and the smell of dead fish and shrimp mixed with mud floated down and into his nostrils.

He opened his eyes and felt a little strange.

At this moment, he heard the rustling of leaves in the forest. Gusts of wind blew through the treetops, and the sound of leaves waves continued.

got windy.

According to the signs, this is normal and nothing to be alarmed about.

But when the wind blew in his face, Lin Yi could not smell any elements related to "trees".

There was no scent of earth or fragrance of flowers and plants in the wind, only an increasingly strong fishy smell.

It's like the rotten fish and shrimp that died under the sun, and were thrown into the mud and stirred around.

"call--"

"call--"

"call--"

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and a salty, dry breath blew onto his face.

He suddenly realized that this was not ordinary, this was...

"It's the sea breeze!"

"It's the stinking sea breeze!"

The reason for the smell of rotten fish and shrimp was also explained. Since it was the sea breeze, it would naturally carry some smell of fish and shrimp.

These are the fish and shrimps that were washed ashore by wind and waves and were killed by the sun because they had no time to escape.

Lin Yi found the answer.

But he suddenly realized a serious problem:

"wrong!"

"I'm in the mountains, where does the sea breeze come from?!"

He looked around and suddenly found that many of his classmates had disappeared on the long road.

There was only him, and Wei Liang walking in front of him.

"Where are the people?! Why are all the others gone?!"

"Ryoko? Ryoko! Ryoko!"

He quickened his pace to chase after Wei Liang, but before he had taken a few steps, the wind speed around him increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Hualala…Hualala—”

The violent wind raged like an army of thousands rushing out from right in front of Lin Yi, pushing him so that he could not move forward.

The rustling of leaves in the woods sounded like countless people laughing bitterly and coldly.

“The wind! The wind is blowing!!”

He suddenly felt that the light around him had dimmed, and he looked up at the sky abruptly.

The cloud on the edge of the mountain floated over his head at some point!
"Was it blown out by the wind?"

"still……?!"

He glanced down at his watch.

14: 18.

"One minute, just one minute has passed!"

In just one minute, it's dark?!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Liangzi... Liangzi! Liangzi!!!" Lin Yi took a deep breath, gathered his strength and ran against the strong wind, rushing towards Wei Liang's back.

Wei Liang walked in the strong wind as if he were walking on flat ground.

It seemed that the strong wind fell on Lin Yi's head.

Lin Yike didn't care about this situation. He felt that something went wrong, but he didn't know where.

“Hula—”

“Hualala——”

The only sounds in Lin Yi's ears were the sound of the wind and the leaves. The fishy sea breeze poured into his lungs through his mouth and nasal cavity, making him feel as if he was on the verge of suffocation.

He braved the strong wind, alternating between walking with shoes on and walking without shoes, and taking one step at a time, he narrowed the distance between himself and Wei Liang.

Wei Liang really seemed to be suddenly unaffected by the strong wind. Lin Yi didn't know who had the problem between him and Wei Liang.

"Ryoko!"

He caught up with Wei Liang with difficulty, gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand with great effort, and patted Wei Liang on the shoulder.

Wei Liang's body was very stiff, and when he was patted it felt like he was touching a hard stone.

Lin Yi was stunned.

And Wei Liang suddenly stopped.

Then he slowly turned around with a stiff movement, like an invisible hand twisting a huge piece of rubber.

A strange face appeared on "Wei Liang's" face and fell into Lin Yi's eyes.

Little genius.

"?!"

Lin Yi's pupils trembled, he stumbled, his body became unstable, he stumbled backwards in the strong wind, rolled twice, and sat down on the ground.

The person who was supposed to be "Wei Liang" in front of him turned into a little genius wearing Wei Liang's clothes the moment he turned around!

To be precise, it is a sculpture of a little genius.

The sculpture of the little genius with a distorted face showing intense fear and horror!
The sculpture of the little genius who disappeared into the green belt!
At this moment, the little genius sculpture faced Lin Yi, as still as a dead object.

Suddenly, it moved slowly, like a robot with low battery, and walked towards Lin Yi with great effort.

But it couldn't lift its feet at all and could only move forward bit by bit with difficulty.

It stretched out its hand with difficulty, as if it wanted to strangle Lin Yi's throat, but it was still some distance away from Lin Yi, so it could only pull its hand out from its sleeve.

It was a sculpted arm, which was covered with fine cracks as it moved, and then ultra-thin plaster fragments fell off with a "crackling" sound like skin peeling off.

The plaster fragments shattered into pieces when exposed to the wind, turning into countless white powders and disappearing.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, and muffled thunder could be heard in the sky.

“Boom… Boom…”

A terrible storm was gathering, and the dull thunder seemed like the sky's last scream before the storm came.

“BOOM—KA!!”

Thunder tore through the storm, and dazzling white arcs of lightning flashed in the dark sky.

The movement of the little genius sculpture froze in the middle, and then for some unknown reason, it slowly and stiffly turned around and continued to move forward along the path it had just taken.

The wind was howling, but the little genius sculpture was completely unaffected.

Lin Yi suddenly realized why he saw "Wei Liang" walking so easily.

Because the texture of the sculpture is solidified, it cannot be blown away no matter how strong the wind is.
