Chapter 85 Pure White Sculpture
Chapter 85 Pure White Sculpture (1000 words added for Miaoer!)
"So," Tian Bufan said, "Do you still want to talk about this topic?"
"I want to talk, but... I don't want to talk about a broad concept that I have no connection with, like if someone suddenly handed me a copy of 'The Dragon Slap' and told me that there is true qi in the world, and that after practicing it, I can fly over rooftops, walk on walls, and kill cows from a distance..."
"I have so much to adjust to, I want to take a breath..."
He said it with some difficulty.
But he was suddenly stunned.
Because he accidentally said the word "adaptation" from his own mouth.
"'Adapt'? Can these concepts also be 'adapted'?"
"But I... don't seem to remember anything?"
Lin Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought of what Tian Bufan had said before, intentionally or unintentionally - "He came here just to make 30,000 yuan to subsidize his grandmother's medical expenses."
but……
No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't find any clues related to "grandmother" in his memory.
It was as if grandma didn't exist in his world at all.
Lin Yi's heart suddenly turned cold, and he thought of two terrible possibilities.
Or maybe someone used a hypnosis-like technique to make him forget about his grandmother.
Or... he really doesn't have a grandmother.
But if that's the case, why did he firmly believe from the beginning that he came here to "earn money to subsidize medical expenses"?
This motive is so pale, so pale...it's as if someone has overwritten his motive!
If it is an overwrite, then for what?
To allow him to enter the campus more reasonably?
He thought of the boss's words - "It's hard to imagine that you can come here alive."
He thought of what his homeroom teacher had said: "With your inspiration, there is no way it will pass the screening."
Yeah, he shouldn't have been able to get in, but someone rationalized his motives.
Not only did he rationalize his motives, but he also...paved every path!
"who is it?"
He felt a chill all over his body, as if he had foreseen a shocking conspiracy, and he was the one who was pushed into the infinite abyss in this conspiracy.
"Could it be that... someone really wants me dead? Using my life to test the depth of this bottomless abyss of the campus?!"
"What the hell am I doing?!"
Lin Yi clenched his teeth, a thought emerged in his mind - damn, a bonus of 30,000 yuan...it's definitely not enough.
"What are you thinking about? Why do I feel like the whole bed is shaking?" Tian Bufan's voice came, interrupting his thoughts, "There are still seventeen minutes left, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Yes!" Lin Yi said in a low voice. He felt that Tian Bufan must know something.
He knows the most things in the whole dormitory!
If this campus really conforms to the [Game Theory], then Tian Bufan must have watched the expansion pack in advance and even got some first-hand information from the pioneering team, or even got some strategy guides in advance!
That's why Tian Bufan told him that he had a secret, but he didn't let him think too much about it, and only said that he would know it at a certain time.
"So... do I have to experience the difficulty of 'opening up the wasteland' myself first?!"
"Fuck! Why? Is it because Mr. Tian is smarter than me?"
"He's only a little smarter than me!"
"Yes? Is there anything else to talk about in the gym?" Tian Bufan asked.
Lin Yi thought for a moment, then said, "I haven't even seen the physical education teacher. As for the boss..."
"You don't have to mention the boss's feet so many times." Tian Bufan interrupted, "When you talked to me about the boss, you mentioned her feet no less than ten times. If you like them so much, go hold them and lick them next time."
Lin Yi: “…”
"Well... we're almost done with the gymnasium stuff."
"What about the dormitory building?"
"I don't feel much." Tian Bufan shook his head.
"So... you don't actually want to chat anymore?" Lin Yi asked.
"We can also discuss the various 'identities' within the campus, but we have already discussed it before. Compared to the most pressing matters, the remaining issues are no longer a high priority."
"'Urgent matters'? You mean... sleeping?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned and glanced down at his watch.
23: 43.
"There are still 17 minutes until the lights in the dormitory go out."
"You can't fall asleep as soon as the lights go out at midnight, right?" Tian Bufan said as he adjusted his sleeping position, looking like he was going to have a good sleep. "Leave some room for yourself and go to sleep now."
"We'll talk about the rest tomorrow. Maybe we can find more."
"Okay." Lin Yi responded.
"Oh, right..." Tian Bufan didn't know what he was thinking of. He suddenly lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of flushing was heard.
After washing his hands, he said, "Anyone else needs to go to the bathroom? Don't get the urge to pee in the middle of the night."
"Mr. Tian, it's too late. They should have all gone to bed..." Lin Yi was about to say this when suddenly -
"I'll go first."
A voice sounded, and Wei Liang got out of bed at the speed of light, and walked into the bathroom in a cool manner while Lin Yi was stunned.
"No...you haven't slept yet? You listened to me and Mr. Tian discussing something for more than an hour?"
"What about 'only knowing what can be known'?"
"Why put it here?"
"Liangzi?" he asked.
"Hmm?" Wei Liang paused after opening the bathroom door, then chuckled, "Don't worry, I only listened to the audible parts."
"..." Lin Yi was speechless, "Please, how could you possibly know what to listen to?"
Wei Liang said calmly: "Just listen to it once, and put aside what you shouldn't listen to. Don't worry, don't worry, you know that when I travel around the world, my main skill is to do something cunning and skillful. Don't worry!"
After saying that, he slammed the bathroom door shut, washed up a little while later and returned to bed, then raised his eyebrows at Lin Yi in a relaxed manner: "Good night, Old Lin."
Lin Yi: “…”
"Good night."
The words have not yet fallen.
Kuai Hongji and Wei Shan silently lifted the quilt.
Not only did Wei Shan, who had been staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, not sleep, but the most outrageous thing was that Kuai Hongji, who had fallen asleep as soon as he lay down, also got out of bed.
"No...Wei Sang, Kuai Kuai, you guys didn't sleep either?" Lin Yi opened his mouth wide.
Kuai Hongji said coldly: "It's quite fun to listen to you guys telling crosstalk."
"Hehehe, yes." Wei Shan rarely made the same sound as Kuai Hongji.
While Wei Shan and Kuai Hongji were going to the toilet, Tian Bufan lay down and called out to Lin Yi who was waiting in line to use the toilet: "Old Lin."
"Huh?" Lin Yi turned around.
"Think carefully...what do you want to do."
"what?"
"Think about it carefully. There is a lot of time, but not that much." Tian Bufan said no more, covered himself with the quilt and fell asleep.
"Hmm..." Lin Yi was silent for a moment, his eyes slightly lowered as he looked at the ground.
"..."
"Okay, I will."
After everyone went to the toilet, the time was 23:47, with only 13 minutes left until lights out.
During this period, Lin Yi also checked that all doors and windows were closed and locked.
……
X023年5月7日，23：47。
Lin Yi, lying on the bed, checked the time on his watch and pendulum clock, then covered himself with the quilt.
Before he got ready for bed, he took one last look at the dormitory.
The darkness under the dormitory door seemed like a piece of sticky asphalt, and the window glass was covered with frost due to the temperature difference in the middle of the night.
It was no longer possible to see the outside world through the window. Only a dark white background remained, indicating the approaching thick fog.
"Sleep and sleep."
He closed his eyes, maintained an even breathing, and slowly emptied his mind.
The beds in the dormitory are uniquely designed. When you sleep on them, you will feel a slight shaking sensation, just like lying down and falling asleep on the deck of a ship.
X023年5月7日，23:58。
"Huh...huh...huh..."
The last member of dormitory No. 1414 fell asleep.
“Tick…tick…tick…”
门上的摆钟缓缓地摆动着，在时间之手的推动下，秒钟走完了5月7日的最后一圈……23：59：57……
23:59:58...
23:59:59...
0:0:00.
"Boo!"
The three incandescent lamps in the dormitory went out at the same time.
The entire dormitory was immersed in darkness, with only a gray light flowing through the fog-covered windows.
Suddenly, a dark shadow slowly poked its head out from the upper edge of the window, like a spider slowly hanging upside down.
The outline of its face gradually enlarged outside the window. Because the distance was too close, its face accidentally wiped off the water vapor on the outside of the glass.
A few rays of moonlight shone with difficulty in the sky obscured by thick fog. In the gap between light and shadow, a pale and skinny face, as thin as a dehydrated human body, was pressed tightly against the glass of the outer window.
……
“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…”
Lin Yi was awakened by the whistling sound of wind in his ears. He felt that he was in the process of falling.
Around him were pieces of shattered clouds and mist, and he was falling straight down like a stick.
"here it is……?"
He looked around, but found nothing but fog.
"Where am I?"
"What am I doing?"
He tried hard to recall, but found that he remembered nothing.
Not only do I not remember what is happening now, I don’t even remember what happened before.
He didn't even remember that he had fallen asleep in the dormitory, and people who dream often don't know they are dreaming.
Suddenly, the feeling of falling disappeared, and he felt a sense of solid ground under his feet.
He subconsciously took a few steps forward, and the fog dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As he continued walking, he found that the floor under his feet was made of square tiles. He heard some noisy sounds in his ears, like the roars of people, the sound of flesh colliding, and the noise formed by fierce fighting.
He found that the fog had completely dissipated at some point, and his body was curled up in a dark corner, looking at everything around him.
In front of him was an extremely familiar tiered classroom, where sports students in blue and white sportswear and art students in yellow and green clothes were fighting with another group of people.
Some of those athletes were fighting with bare hands, while others were holding baseball bats, against some humanoid creatures with gray skin that looked like zombies.
Those humanoid creatures were also wearing artist clothing, but white gas was constantly spewing out from their mouths and noses, as if mixed with hot air and frost.
After they were hit by the athletes, a layer of fine cracks immediately appeared on the hit parts. Some units were hit violently by the bats and had their hands and feet broken.
The scene was bloody and violent, as if a group of irritable students had accidentally entered the Shura Purgatory.
But what was weird was not the purgatory-like classroom, but the fact that every unit fighting in the classroom had a bright golden light in their eyes.
Whether they are sports students, art students, or those... units that look inhuman at first glance.
"Is this... a classroom?"
Lin Yi was a little confused. He had never seen this scene before, but he had an extremely familiar feeling, as if someone had described it to him.
He subconsciously wanted to look at his watch, but found that there was no watch on his wrist.
So he followed his feeling and looked at the blackboard.
There was a pendulum clock hanging above the blackboard. Through the dim moonlight coming in from the window, he was able to discern the time on the clock.
23: 16.
“23:16?”
“At this time…?”
He glanced out the window. Raindrops kept hitting the window and lightning was faintly visible in the gloomy sky.
This familiar scene began to awaken some of his memories, but these memories were extremely vague. They seemed to be things he had experienced, but also seemed to be things that... had happened to someone else.
At this moment, a "click, click" sound rang in his ears.
Almost subconsciously, he looked towards the direction of the classroom door.
At this moment, the manic and fierce fighting atmosphere in the classroom seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and it began to crumble in the blink of an eye.
Those sports and art students pushed away the inhuman units, then slowly shrank the circle. They clenched their weapons or fists, and looked towards the classroom door with somewhat ugly expressions.
"Ho... and... ho..." Those inhuman units showed fanatical expressions, as if a humble tribe was calling for their monarch.
After the last click of the door lock, the door handle was pressed down and then slowly pushed open.
"squeak--"
The long and harsh sound was like a saw blade pulling on someone's bones.
A stream of white air poured in from the crack in the door like a fountain, and immediately afterwards there was a rustling sound that seemed to be engraved deep in the soul, exuding a strong sense of danger like a rattlesnake shaking its tail.
As Lin Yi gazed with dilated pupils, a human-shaped shadow appeared behind the door.
It was a human-shaped phantom shrouded in white mist, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was just a vague outline.
No matter how close you are, it still looks the same.
It was as if the picture was made up of countless lines twisted and entangled together, or as if countless broken pieces of glass were put together using rules beyond physical graphics, and then the picture was formed by light passing through. It seemed to have countless colors, and yet it seemed to have no colors at all.
It was like chopping up a rainbow and putting it in a crystal coffin. Only the outline of a human figure was left. When Lin Yi stared at it, his brain uncontrollably developed an obsession.
He found that everything in his field of vision was distorted. The door frame, the white fog, the light and shadow... everything in his field of vision began to change in an absurd way, as if it was gathering and surrounding the silhouette of the person who pushed the door open like a shooting star following the moonlight, as if to manifest some kind of law governing the operation of the universe...
In that chaotic illusion of light and shadow, it seemed as if a storm of pain that crushed people's five senses was rolled up. Low roars and sharp whistles came from the painful storm like a hurricane, carrying a sound that did not belong to this world, as if it was left over from a broken and distant era, and slowly fell into the classroom...
It was an ancient syllable, a sound that could not be described in words, dull, dry, sharp, and low... like a witch shouting a certain word with a hoarse voice:
【…fan…Tome…】
【……fanTome……】
It spoke.
In other words, Lin Yi's "cognition" made Lin Yi think that it was it that spoke.
The distorted light and shadow seemed to have stopped dancing, and there seemed to be elves dancing in the darkness. Their dance moves were strange and eerie, exuding some weird, manic, and crazy sense of ritual.
Lin Yi suddenly realized that he could clearly see the figure who pushed the door open.
That figure... seemed to exist in distortion and materialize in weirdness. The originally fragmented light and shadow became solid, and the originally messy lines seemed to have a pattern.
When everything is blended together, the outline of the human figure takes on its final color.
No, it has no color.
It is pure white and flawless, as if an angel on earth.
It was a pure white human-shaped sculpture.
The mind-distorting and crazy voice that does not belong to this world also comes from its mouth.
Whenever it makes a sound, its body surface will vibrate with a unique Hertz frequency like its hair is exploding, as if it is using all the cells in its body to make a sound:
【……fanTome……】
【fanTome... fRa... forRidEn...】
【fanTome fRa forRidEn……】
If it has cells.
……
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, it twisted off the finger that it had inserted into the keyhole.
The small half of the finger was immediately broken on the door, and it slowly entered the classroom.
When it moves, the entire unit makes a rustling sound, like a rattlesnake.
Lin Yi's hair stood on end so violently that it was beyond description. He felt as if the top of his head had been frightened away, leaving only his brain feeling the chill in the wind.
"sculpture……?"
“This…is this a sculpture?!”
He subconsciously moved closer to the wall in the corner behind him and quickly moved to the window.
"Rumble--"
A muffled thunder exploded at an inopportune time in the low sky outside the window, and Jingzhe tore a hole in the dark night like a match striking a cardboard box.
Lin Yi's eyes inadvertently glanced out the window, and through the window glass smeared with traces of rain, he saw the green forest belt swaying in the rain.
In the green forest belt, there were densely packed non-human classmates, as if even the treetops were filled with them...
