Chapter 80: Things Climbing Through the Window
Chapter 80: Things Climbing Through the Window
Lin Yi listened in silence.
He guessed a little about the sculpture, but compared with the information obtained by Tian Bufan, his information was simply a joke.
Lin Yi opened his mouth, but felt that no matter what he said, it would be pale and powerless in the face of Tian Bufan's consideration, so he could only blurt out a bunch of nonsense:
"If it's 99 percent accurate... I might as well just say it's absolutely accurate."
Tian Bufan said disdainfully: "You are absolutely too arrogant. It won't be too late to make a conclusion after I see it with my own eyes."
He stood up, dusted off his clothes, and began to pack his changes of clothes.
The sound of water from Kuai Hongji's side has stopped.
"Oh, right, Lao Lin. After my observation today, I think there should be a transformation path between art students and sculptures."
“This path should be: art students “normal” – art students “abnormal” – non-human classmates – sculptures.”
"Those non-human classmates showed some observable characteristics that were somewhere between anomalous art students and sculptures."
"Yesterday in the classroom, I saw that when they were fighting with the athletes, their arms took on a bluish-gray appearance, similar to an incomplete plaster-like substance."
"In the dark, they showed a different kind of agility and ferocity than in the sunlight, and even some intelligence. Even the athletes could only suppress them with their numbers advantage."
Lin Yi could only listen. It was not difficult to accept this information, but as a person who was gradually accepting an abnormal worldview and constantly overwriting his cognition, he obviously needed some time to digest this information.
And what Tian Bufan said, to a certain extent, gave him a preliminary understanding of the "path".
If blood turns to ketchup, ketchup turns to plaster.
Then, it seems that it is not unacceptable for people to become sculptures...
Can……
Is this a question of "acceptance" or not?
Something fucking seems to be wrong with the world!
Tian Bufan said: "If we regard the transformation pathway as a chemical formula, then there must be catalysts and conditions in the pathway. If we can figure out these things, we can complete the pathway."
“Then, maybe we can find a way to do the reverse conversion.”
Lin Yi was surprised and asked, "Reverse transformation?"
Tian Bufan nodded: "This is about the problem of the inner and outer layers of the 'Novice Village' that I mentioned before."
"It's not that there's no way to get to those inaccessible layers. If I use the correct 'identity', I can theoretically get there safely, but the problem is, after I get that identity, how do I convert it back?"
"If it can only be converted in one direction, then it's useless."
"But if it can be reversed, then it means..."
"As long as I protect myself, I can keep my green name on the entire map."
(*Note: In some games with faction divisions, red names represent a state where a player can be attacked by hostile forces, while green names represent a safe state where a player cannot be attacked.)
Lin Yi was shocked and felt the power was beyond belief.
"If students are like this, then I suspect that teachers are like this too." Tian Bufan added, "If there are experience students, there are homeroom teachers; if there are sports students, there are sports teachers; if there are art students, there are art teachers."
"If there are normal art students, there will be normal art teachers. If there are abnormal art students...there will naturally be abnormal art teachers."
"so--"
After some twists and turns, we finally get back to the topic.
"So, the teachers and students in the mist are abnormal art teachers and abnormal art students." Lin Yi said in a deep voice.
At this point, the two people's discussion on the second question came to a perfect end.
2: [The teacher and student who appeared in the fog are abnormal art teachers and abnormal art students.]——√
This one seems simple, and if we only talk about the conclusion, it can be summarized in one sentence.
However, Tian Bufan guided Lin Yi's thinking, analyzed the "knowledge points" bit by bit, and helped Lin Yi to accept and change his cognition bit by bit from the "cognition" level.
In the end, a huge amount of knowledge points were expanded.
"Remember, these will all be tested." Tian Bufan packed his clothes and joked rarely.
Lin Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I understand, Teacher Tian."
Tian Bufan waved his hand: "Kuai Kuai has finished his shower, you digest this information first, and we will continue our chat after I finish my shower."
He looked towards the direction of the bathroom, and sure enough, the bathroom door was opened, and Kuai Hongji walked out holding his changed clothes.
At this moment, Wei Shan, who had been silent, suddenly shouted at Kuai Hongji:
"Pick up the pillow for me!"
Kuai Hongji lowered his head to glance at the door, then sneered sinisterly: "Fatty, you haven't even picked up a pillow in such a long time? Are you a disabled person?"
Having said that, he still picked up the pillow and threw it to Wei Shan.
Wei Shan caught the pillow, put it behind his head, lay down and fell asleep.
Tian Bufan walked towards the bathroom.
"Old Lin." Tian Bufan opened the bathroom door and suddenly spoke just before he was about to enter.
"Ok?"
"Tell me... from when did you start to acquiesce to the abnormality of the school and accept it? You even took the initiative to accept the 'rule' that is completely out of touch with reality, such as 'ketchup will turn into plaster'?"
Lin Yi was paralyzed on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning. Tian Bufan's question echoed in his ears like a bell, making his head buzz.
"Yeah, I... when did I completely accept the abnormality of the campus?"
He recalled several fragments in his mind, but found that none of them was accurate enough.
After thinking it over, the only thing left in his mind was Tian Bufan's words.
【The cognition was not overturned, but covered. 】
Everything changed silently, and even he adapted to these completely illogical things unconsciously.
"Wait...'Adapt'?!"
"Is this what Mr. Tian meant by 'adaptation'?"
"Kuai Kuai." Lin Yi called out to Kuai Hongji, who had just finished putting clothes into the washing machine and was about to go to bed.
Kuai Hongji looked at him coldly.
"Please pass me the pad and pen, thanks."
Kuai Hongji silently handed the small notebook to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi turned to the page where he had written the note before and looked at the fourteenth item.
[14. Ketchup will turn into gypsum under the sun (the reason is not known yet).
“The tomato is the heart.
Ketchup is blood plasma. (These two sentences were heavily smeared out by messy and powerful lines)"
The tomato element will attract the attention of classmates who are not in the right mood.
The tomato is not a tomato, there is no tomato at all. 】
He looked at the two lines of words he had heavily scribbled out: "Tomato is the heart" and "Ketchup is blood plasma", took a deep breath, then picked up the pen and tried to rewrite...
"Tomatoes are...heart...dirty."
He finished writing the sentence very smoothly, and even when he looked back at it, he didn't feel any discomfort.
The feeling that almost made him send him away at the beginning did not appear at all.
"My understanding... has really reached this level!"
"this……?!"
……X023年5月7日，22:05。
The sound of Tian Bufan taking a shower came from the bathroom, and Lin Yi sighed softly.
"As expected, Maozi didn't come back."
He lay on the bed, resting his head on the pillow, staring at the ceiling in a daze, constantly digesting what Tian Bufan had said to him.
Ten minutes later, Tian Bufan turned off the shower and the sound of water in the bathroom disappeared.
Another eight minutes passed before Tian Bufan slowly left the bathroom.
Lin Yi propped himself up and looked at Tian Bufan: "What's wrong?"
Tian Bufan opened the washing machine and threw the clothes in: "Something is peeping outside the window."
"I encountered it too." Lin Yi said, "But I didn't find it... No! The layers are different!"
"I learned and put it into practice quickly." Tian Bufan closed the door of the washing machine. "That thing took advantage of the fog to distort my senses and lay on the window."
"You didn't see it clearly either?"
"See clearly."
"Uh……"
Tian Bufan's calm tone made Lin Yi feel that the gap between him and him had widened again...
"So...what did you see?"
"From the perspective of physical form, it looks a bit like 'Inhuman Classmate'."
"'Non-human classmates'?" Lin Yi was startled and said immediately, "It suddenly occurred to me that they have a killing mechanism that can sense people who observe them and then search for the enemy through the void."
"No, no, no... There is a light in the bathroom, and this mechanism will only be triggered after the light is turned off... I was in a hurry."
Lin Yi shook his head repeatedly.
Tian Bufan said, "It's okay. If you know something in advance, you can be mentally prepared and not be frightened when the time comes."
Dormitory Rules 2 "Special Situation Edition" states: After lights are turned off at 0:, if you hear something knocking on the dormitory window or calling you outside the window, don't doubt it, there is indeed something outside the window.
"It seems that after the lights are turned off, the level of the dormitory building will be lowered, and those non-human students who can only appear outside the bathroom with mist will crawl out of that window like humanoid spiders." Lin Yi pondered and pointed to the window between the washbasin and the bathroom.
"It's also possible that they will crawl in," Tian Bufan added.
"Hehehe... It seems that if I haven't fallen asleep by then, I will have to stay in the same room with those dirty things." Kuai Hongji smiled grimly, "Fatty, isn't it very exciting to think about staying in a dark and closed dormitory with those corpse-like things?"
“Get out of here, you bastard!” Wei Shan cursed so loudly that the bed shook a little.
"Hehe..." Kuai Hongji smiled sinisterly.
But Kuai Hongji's sarcastic laughter made Wei Shan feel even more irritated.
"You bastard, I'm going to tear you to pieces sooner or later!"
"It doesn't matter whether it's early or late. If you have the ability, come now." Kuai Hongji sneered.
"You are really courting death!"
"Alright! Stop making trouble!" Lin Yi interrupted with a frown, "It's getting late. If you have something to say, discuss it together. If you don't, go to bed. Master Tian and I still have something to discuss!"
"Hey... go to sleep!" Kuai Hongji turned over and covered himself with the quilt.
"Hmph!" Wei Shan sneered, but he lay there without falling asleep. He just stared at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Yi put the notebook under the pillow, glanced at Tian Bufan who was also getting ready to go to bed, and asked, "Do you want to continue chatting?"
"Well, it's the same as before. Keep talking."
"I just suddenly thought of something." Lin Yi said, "Those inhuman classmates and abnormal art students all left the classroom around 4:30 today. Do you think there is any explanation for this?"
These were the words he had written down on a small piece of paper before, and he just remembered them when he saw them while flipping through the notes just now.
Tian Bufan said: "I don't know about this. Considering that they will have special bonuses after turning off the lights, and street lights can protect us to a certain extent, it is not difficult to guess that lights and daytime should have a greater impact on them."
"And at 4:30..."
"It's May now, and considering the location of S City, it's almost dawn."
"When the sun comes out, it's generally called 'daytime', right?"
"Maybe that's why they're in such a hurry to leave, what do you think?"
Lin Yi let out a long sigh and said with great relief: "It's rare that I think the same as you do."
Tian Bufan squinted at him and asked tentatively, "You are not asking this question on purpose to regain your confidence, are you?"
"..."
The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched fiercely, and he said speechlessly: "How could that be! Am I really deceiving myself like this? I just suddenly thought of this, so I compared the answers with you, okay!"
"Oh, okay, okay, then go on."
"..." Lin Yi curled his lips, and then continued, "The next issue is the street lights."
"This question..." Lin Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "I think it should be discussed in layers."
"Speaking of this issue." Tian Bufan took his feet off the bed ladder, walked towards Wei Liang's bed, and pretended to pull out a silk thread.
"Damn it! Are you still too obsessed?" Wei Liang rolled on the bed, not giving Tian Bufan any chance.
Tian Bufan withdrew his hand silently.
Wei Liang snorted and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.
Tian Bufan looked at Lin Yi: "Give me a piece of paper."
"I don't have any paper! Do you want some toilet paper?" Wei Liang made a gesture of spitting fire.
"I'm not asking you. I'm asking Lao Lin."
Wei Liang's face suddenly changed, he covered his chest and coughed up blood, then buried his head under the pillow again.
Lin Yi was stunned by Wei Liang's actions.
"No...Ryoko, you said you were going to sleep, right?"
"Why are you listening more attentively than me?"
"Are you kidding me?"
He silently tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Tian Bufan.
"Give me the pen, too."
"Oh."
Tian Bufan took the pen, and then one second, two seconds, three seconds...
The dormitory was quiet for a while.
Suddenly, Tian Bufan looked up at Lin Yi and said, "Speak."
"Uh... I was planning to watch your performance." Lin Yi said.
Tian Bufan said, "Idiot. Keep talking. I want to see if it's different from what I thought."
"Ah? Oh, okay!" Lin Yi responded, "Last night, the layer of the campus fell in the fog, and then we found a lamppost..."
Thanks to the book friend "Meteor 4" for the reward! !
