Chapter 76 Grandma what grandma?

Chapter 76 Grandma...what grandma?
"This... moss?"

Lin Yi's pupils contracted sharply, and a fine layer of cold sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.

“When did you step on this?”

Almost immediately, he quickly went through several terrains in his mind...

Student channel?

When I left, I checked my clothes and shoes carefully, and there was no moss on them at all.

The steps in front of the classroom?

The steps in front of the dormitory building?
Maybe there is a possibility, but moss of this thickness...it is as thick as mud and it doesn't seem like something you would find on campus!
"Wait...? This isn't the school grounds!"

Lin Yi's thoughts raced, and the image of him standing on the cliff like Spider-Man involuntarily flashed through his mind.

In the dark world, the ocean and the sky each occupy half of the world, with dark water and wind, a black sun with a golden edge, and the cliffs... are covered with moss!!
He carefully put his nose close to it and sniffed.

Then, an extremely solemn look immediately appeared in his eyes.

Hidden in this piece of moss is an extremely restrained and subtle smell.

This smell is like the rotten, fishy smell of mud that buries the corpses of fish and shrimps. It also has a strong, cold, salty and humid smell that almost immediately reminds people of the strange world shrouded in darkness.

This is indeed the moss on that cliff!

"I... brought something back from that world?!"

At this moment, an extremely absurd idea came into his mind. It seemed that there was a problem with the boundaries between the layers. He seemed to have obtained something from another world by accident.

Even though it was just a piece of moss stuck to the sole of my shoe.

He took a deep breath and stuffed his shoes into the washing machine.

"Hey, there seems to be some paper in here?"

Lin Yi suddenly spoke, subconsciously pointing to a crumpled piece of paper inside.

"Please, don't pick up trash, okay?" Wei Liang, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but say helplessly.

Lin Yi's eyes flickered with suspicion: "You didn't throw the paper in my trouser pocket into it?"

Wei Liang said speechlessly: "No, they are all on your desk!"

Kuai Hongji suddenly said, "We don't have the habit of helping others take out their trash."

Wei Shan, who was holding clothes and walking to the bathroom door, couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Yi closed the door of the washing machine with a "click" and walked in front of Tian Bufan.

"Mr. Tian, ​​I have a lot of questions."

Tian Bufan smiled calmly: "I didn't say I don't want to chat with you...How about you go to bed first?"

"Um... well."

Going to bed right after taking a shower was the most correct "guideline", and Lin Yi had no reason to refuse.

He then climbed into bed.

But just when he sat on the bed, the bed suddenly shook...

"Huh? What's going on?"

He couldn't help but look at the bed, and then he found that this seemingly ordinary bed actually had a unique design.

The bed and the bed frame are not welded together, but there is a space that allows movement.

This was a design that Lin Yi had never seen before. No, if I had to put it bluntly, it was a bit like... a second-tier suspension? A shock absorber set?
No...a bed needs this kind of design?
"Don't stand there like an idiot." Wei Liang said, "This is just a design to help you sleep. Do you understand a baby cradle?"

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched violently. I'm such a grown-up, do I still need a baby cradle?

He sat on it.

Then he was stunned for a moment.

Eh... don't mention it, I really feel something...

"Cough." Tian Bufan coughed dryly.

Lin Yi quickly grabbed the edge of the bed: "It was just inertia, it was shaking on its own."

"I should say it or not, I believe it halfway." Tian Bufan said seriously.

Lin Yi: “…”

He glanced at his watch.

21: 52.

"Eight minutes left..."

"Don't look at it." Tian Bufan interrupted, "Maozi won't come back."

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and angrily scolded: "How can you say this so lightly?!"

Tian Bufan looked at him calmly: "From the moment you said this, I know that you haven't adapted enough... If getting angry can solve the problem, then no one would need to use their brains."

Lin Yi's anger was extinguished as soon as it emerged.

Tian Bufan continued: "Do you remember what I said in the gym? 'Impulsiveness will make people lose their rationality, and calmness is the way to solve problems'"

Lin Yi was silent, then he nodded slightly and said, "I want to discuss Maozi's matter with you again."

Tian Bufan shook his head: "Let's not talk about Maozi's affairs for now."

"?"

Tian Bufan said calmly: "Don't you understand yet? What you want to talk about is not Maozi's business at all."

Lin Yi was stunned.

"You're not going to refute it?" Tian Bufan rarely smiled, "It seems that you have at least changed in this regard..."

Lin Yi didn't say anything, Tian Bufan's words hit him in the heart.

He... seemed to be thinking about Mao Feiyang, but for some reason, he had forgotten many things related to Mao Feiyang.

Mao Feiyang seemed to have become a symbol to him.

Something that you wear on your chest like a badge. You keep wearing it and remember that you wore a badge, but you don't remember anything else except the badge.

He...was almost forgetting about Maozi.

Lin Yi's eyes gradually widened. He wanted to say something to refute it, but no matter what kind of argument he made, it seemed extremely pale at this moment.

It is difficult for people to say things against their will naturally, especially when they are exposed rudely.

Tian Bufan continued to ask: "Leaving aside Maozi, Lao Lin, do you remember why you came here?"

"For...what?" Lin Yi was stunned again.

"for what?"

"Yeah, why am I here?"

“What was that…?”

He thought about it over and over again. He always felt that there was a shadow lingering in his mind, and something was about to break out of its shell, but he could not remember anything.

Tian Bufan said: "You are for..."

"Have you forgotten?" Tian Bufan was interrupted by Wei Liang, "Lao Lin, you came here to subsidize your grandma's medical expenses!"

"Milk...milk?" Lin Yiwei chewed on this extremely strange yet somewhat familiar word like chewing wax, a look of confusion emerging in his eyes.

Wei Liang was anxiously running around, scratching his head, as if he was the one who had lost his memory. But Lin Yi finally shook his head in bewilderment.

"I...I can't remember."

Wei Liang's body froze. He looked at the bewildered Lin Yi and Tian Bufan with a faint smile on his lips. He felt extremely frightened and even a kind of fear appeared in his eyes.

It was not because of Tian Bufan, but because Lin Yi had so easily forgotten the original purpose of his coming here.

He forgot his grandmother.

But his grandmother...

Wei Liang was also suddenly stunned.

and many more……

Lao Lin’s...grandmother?
Does Lao Lin...have a grandmother?
No...who are the Maozi they were talking about just now?

Wei Liang suddenly felt dizzy and his mind was a little confused.

He felt in his pocket, where he found his student ID and a piece of paper.

Paper?!

He remembered that this was what he had written in the classroom on the paper from Lin Yi's notebook, but he suddenly couldn't remember what he had written on the paper.

He then subconsciously took out the paper.

There was only one sentence on the paper. No, it wasn't even a complete sentence.

After reading this short sentence, he subconsciously looked around the dormitory.

Then he quickly climbed onto his bed and lay down.

Lin Yi was also startled by the noise coming from Wei Liang's side.

"Liangzi, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine! I'm going to sleep first, you guys continue chatting!" Wei Liang covered himself with a quilt, and one could still see him shivering through the quilt.

"This..." Lin Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but considering that they were in the dormitory, and what he was going to say now and next might not be within the scope of what Wei Liang could "know", he could only say, "Good night then."

"Good night." Wei Liang replied.
Tian Bufan withdrew his gaze from Wei Liang and said calmly, "It seems that someone doesn't want you to recall too many memories?"

Wei Liang's shivering body suddenly stiffened, and then he buried his head in the pillow. From Lin Yi's perspective, he looked like an ostrich with its butt sticking up.

"Indeed, more haste makes waste." Tian Bufan sneered, "So, where do you want to start?"

"Just tell me one by one." Lin Yixin said, "Why are you still asking? I was going to start with Maozi, but you interrupted me as soon as I asked.

He took out the student code of conduct, then flipped to the end and laid out a map of the campus under "normal" circumstances.

"I need to review this with you, and discuss with you the problems I haven't thought through." Lin Yi confessed, "Also... before we discuss this, I have another question."

"You said."

"It's obviously your first time here too, why... do I feel like you know everything?"

"Regarding this question," Tian Bufan said, "I can't tell you now. I can only tell you... what I know is what you know, but I know more than you, that's all."

"What kind of tongue-twisting riddle are you talking about?" Lin Yi felt a little dizzy.

But Tian Bufan obviously didn't want to waste time here, he said: "The fifth day."

"On the fifth night, if we can still meet in the dormitory smoothly, I will tell you everything."

"Of course, with your adaptability, perhaps you have already figured it out before then."

"Let's review it at your own pace first. It's a good opportunity for me to sort out my thoughts as well."

"No, Mr. Tian, ​​wait a moment." Lin Yi said, "What if it's not smooth enough?"

Tian Bufan looked at him and smiled, but didn't say anything.

Lin Yi instantly became depressed: "Let's review it!"

"In order not to miss any details, start from the moment you enter the school gate," Tian Bufan reminded.

"Okay." Lin Yi responded.

He had already organized his thoughts and decided to use a big move right at the start.

"I think the entire campus of S City University is not on the same level as the outside world."

Tian Bufan was slightly surprised, but he did not show too much emotion. He continued, "Tell me your basis."

"First there was the stretching feeling as we entered the school gate, and then once we were inside the school gate, we couldn't find the school gate anymore."

"Secondly, the student code of conduct mentions one point: [Please pay attention to your physical health. If you find yourself experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, etc. during your stay at school, please find the dormitory manager or class teacher before staying overnight. He will take you to the infirmary, and the school doctor will take you to the school gate. When you see the blue school bus, get on the bus immediately. The driver will take you out of the campus and end your experience.]"

"So far, among all the rules I have seen, this is the only one that involves how to leave S City University."

"The subtext of this sentence is like saying that we can't leave on our own."

"Mr. Tian, ​​what do you think?"

Tian Bufan shook his head slightly and said, "You are too absolute. You should look at this issue from a relative perspective."

"For example, the layer of S City University should have one band."

"look."

Tian Bufan pulled out a silk thread from Wei Liang's bed sheet and placed it on the table.

Lin Yi quickly looked down from the bed.

"Assume that this line is the layer where S City University is located."

"We first establish a relatively normal reference frame."

"From our perspective, the so-called 'normal situation' should be the time period when we can move around safely, right?"

"So we assume 'a sunny day' is normal."

"Under normal circumstances, the layers of S City University are like this."

"Then, once a special situation occurs, the layers will fall downward."

Tian Bufan pointed his finger at the middle part of the silk thread and moved it downwards.

The silk thread looks like a "√".

"One of the external factors that can cause the campus layer to drop is probably fog, but fog alone is not enough. Only when the fog is dense enough will it change the campus layer."

"That is to say...there should be a range of normal conditions on campus."

"In other words, there is a critical value when it falls."

Tian Bufan walked to Wei Liang's bed, pulled out another thread, then walked back to the table and placed it across the "√".

Now it looks like a simple function, the second line is the X-axis, with positive values ​​at the top and negative values ​​at the bottom.

"So when the fog appears, the campus layer starts to drop, but as long as it's still above the X axis, it's normal."

Lin Yi nodded slightly. This was similar to the observation method Wei Liang mentioned. In layman's terms, it corresponded to the situation where "the fog is not thick enough".

"When the fog concentration exceeds a certain level, the campus layer drops below the X axis and enters a 'negative' state. The campus becomes abnormal at this time... When we entered the campus yesterday, it should have corresponded to this situation."

"In fact, it is this situation that really interests me." Tian Bufan's eyes flashed with a strong desire to explore, and this look made Lin Yi feel cold in his heart.

Because he had seen similar looks before.

This kind of crazy and longing look... just like those classmates who are not right!
However, compared to them, Tian Bufan's eyes had something extraordinary... rationality, calmness, and a kind of horrifying, abnormal concentration.
