Chapter 124 Insight into...some kind of "truth"?! [Add 1000 words]
A brilliant light suddenly burst out from his eyes, like thunder tearing through the night sky: "I'm afraid there is a design hidden here that is somewhat similar to the cobblestone road!"
"I can't see it, but I accidentally 'sense' the problem here! It's something folded in another layer. Is it a corridor? Should it be a corridor?"
If he really wants to explore the truth of the corridor, he must wait until abnormal weather arrives and the layer of the teaching building begins to fall, but he does not meet this condition yet.
Because the weather is normal, and when the abnormal weather comes, if the timing is right, he can tentatively observe the real condition of the wall in a state where he can "take a step back and escape back to the classroom."
He was silent for a moment, then stopped thinking in this direction.
There is no way, there is only this one clue, and even a good cook cannot cook without rice.
Then he stood here, casually observing the environment of the corridor of the teaching building.
Under the sun, the length of the teaching building is actually very limited. Although the layout is that there are two toilets at the end of the corridor, with three tiered classrooms and three teachers' offices built crosswise in the middle, it looks very long, but you can still see both ends at a glance.
Given this length, it would definitely take less than ten minutes to walk from beginning to end.
When Lin Yi was observing his surroundings, he inadvertently saw the green forest belt in the distance.
The value of these three words "Green Forest Belt" is more valuable than real gold to Lin Yi today.
S City University is located in the hills outside the suburbs and was built according to the terrain of the mountains. Although cobblestone roads are paved, most of the mountain roads still extend into the mountains in a sparse manner.
And in the mountains, there is a forest. Only the edge of the forest has been repaired by the founders of the campus, and it has gradually become the current green belt, or green forest belt.
As for the forest inside the hill, due to the vegetation coverage and humid environment, coupled with the fact that the climate is about to enter the rainy season, an unknown environment has been formed inside the hill, which is shrouded in thick fog for a long time.
With the current means, it is difficult to tell how abnormal the fog lingering among the trees is.
Toy guns are not scary. What is scary is that you don’t know how many real guns are hidden in the toy guns, and whether these real guns will suddenly fire at any time.
The only thing that is certain is that when abnormal weather comes, as the layer of layer on the campus falls, the fog will invade the teaching buildings.
No, not just the teaching building, but also other buildings.
The fog will cover the entire campus, and the building will serve as a shelter in this environment.
The stability of the shelter effect depends on the degree of implementation of the rules within the building area.
He thought of the sculpture formation again.
"The inhuman classmates and weird art students will leave the classroom before 4:30 (sunrise)... and the sculpture array is hidden in the green belt."
"Behind the greenbelt is the forest, and the forest...is obviously a natural place to hide from the sun!"
Lin Yi was not actually sure whether non-human units were afraid of sunlight, but he believed that non-human units would definitely be greatly restricted under sunlight, even to the point of endangering their lives - of course, if they were living things.
The shading effect of the forest may seem inferior to hiding in the shadow area of a building, but don’t forget that there is a condition in the green forest that no building has.
"Mist."
"When the night can no longer provide them with shelter, they can only surrender to the thick fog... Is that right?"
"Could it be that the non-human classmates hide in the foggy green forest during the day?"
"Not only that... there are also some in the cafeteria. I don't think I saw them leave the cafeteria?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
[The cafeteria after lights out is different from the classroom. There is no safety at all. ]
A certain rule in the cafeteria rules suddenly popped up in his mind, causing him to shudder.
"Is the cafeteria their lair? Do they usually stay in the cafeteria? Do they come to the classrooms when it gets dark, and start hunting once the lights in the teaching building are turned off?"
Lin Yi came up with a horrifying guess, but when he came up with this guess, certain clues gradually became clear in his mind.
The mysterious No. 10 food purchase window;
the incredible green bib chef;
A dark area that looks like an abyss when there is no light;
Hiding the layer with dropped frames;
The employee passageway that transmits sounds like the heartbeat or crash of an ancient beast;
A student passageway with water seeping through the mist;
moss-covered steps and rock faces;
And...the cafeteria basement floor that looks creepy...
Everything points to one point.
There is a huge secret hidden in the unknown area of the cafeteria, and the student restaurant is just the tip of the mysterious iceberg of the entire cafeteria.
However, this was just the tip of the iceberg, hanging over his head like a sword, making him feel fear because of the unknown.
but……
"If the cafeteria is a nest, what is the position of the cafeteria staff in the cafeteria?"
Even the class teacher 039 seemed to be able to transform into a beautiful girl in stockings to fight against those inhuman units at night. Lin Yi didn't believe that the cafeteria staff would be easy to deal with.
"By the way, the food in the cafeteria has a certain purifying effect. Tomatoes are the heart, so..." He shuddered and felt a chill swirling above his head, his entire scalp was numb, but he continued to think, "Then do other dishes have a great effect as well?"
"Hiss..." He took a breath of cold air and felt that he had missed this key question.
Yes, the cafeteria has pollution, but it can also purify pollution, so... the cafeteria employees themselves are fighting against another kind of pollution?
"Also... the rules mention 'canteen staff', but the only people we met were 'cooks'. What other staff are there in the canteen besides 'cooks'? What is their role?"
This idea came to Lin Yi's mind, but he shook his head and buried the idea deep in his heart.
"What we need to do now is not to explore the cafeteria, but to explore the teaching building, find the connection between the teaching building and the art building, and rescue Maozi first."
"There is no need to think too deeply about the cafeteria issue for now. We just need to ensure that we have a relatively safe dining environment in the cafeteria."
The cafeteria has problems? Yes, there are some problems with the cafeteria, but they are not to the point where people are attacked while eating in the cafeteria.
What they encountered in the cafeteria were at most some tricks played by the green-bibbed chef using tomatoes. As long as they remained vigilant, they were still safe.
Lin Yi turned his attention back to the green belt. He gradually realized that the green belt on the side of the steps of the teaching building did not seem as outrageous as the green belt on the side of the windows of the teaching building. At least he had not seen anything like a sculpture array after looking around.
But just when he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to relax a little, perhaps because his spirit had loosened a little, or because his inspiration suddenly burst out, his vision suddenly underwent a subtle change.
At a certain moment, he saw frame-skipping images like an exposed photo again, and this time he was aiming at the green forest belt. He saw the fog hidden in the green forest belt disappearing into the depths in the form of a color gradient.
From white to green, then to dark green... and then, it seemed to extend to the end of the world.
In the mist, he saw some scattered sculptures and twisted, crawling creatures...
At the edge of the green forest, he seemed to see some familiar figures...
"That is……?!"
His pupils instantly shrank to the size of a pinhole, and his vision returned to normal. However, the last scene he saw in that vision seemed to be branded on his body and he could never forget it.
"That figure seems to be... the freshman who seems to have a good relationship with Li Huiyuan?"
He remembered that among the 25 freshmen yesterday, there were a few who kept following Li Huiyuan around, and it seemed that they had a good relationship. However, when Li Huiyuan mentioned it before, it seemed that none of those people went to the dormitory with Li Huiyuan, and all stayed in the classroom overnight... The relationship that seemed to be quite good at first suddenly seemed a lot more "plastic".
Maybe they just took the same school bus? Lin Yi thought of Li Huiyuan's outfit yesterday. The pink Lolita uniform with the corresponding makeup was actually quite popular. It was normal to attract some boys...
But now he actually saw the figure of the new student in the green belt, just like... just like seeing the figure of the little genius who was murdered on the night of May 5th.
"sculpture!"
Lin Yi felt that he had found a way of transformation!
Condition 1: [The little genius was killed by an inhuman classmate.]
Condition 2: [The little genius turned into a sculpture after being killed.]
Condition 3: [The little genius appeared on that non-existent road.]
Lin Yi sorted out the information he knew about the little genius in detail...
After the lights were turned off, the little genius saw his inhuman classmates. After being killed by them, the inhuman classmates dragged his body into the green forest belt.
Then on the next day, under the sunlight, the little genius's body turned into a sculpture.
By the afternoon, the little genius was able to move and was walking on that non-existent road in the direction where the sea breeze was blowing.
"These are things I 'seen with my own eyes', but only the first two exist in the normal layer. The third one is what I encountered when my cognition was confused."
"Oh, there is another necessary factor - pollution!"
When considering the problem now, we must also take this seemingly supernatural factor into account.
"After Li Huiyuan was attacked by the green hat, green mist entangled her body. This may be related to pollution!"
"After being attacked by an inhuman classmate, I should have been contaminated in a similar way!"
“So does the contaminated person turn into a sculpture after he dies, or does the human body continue to be contaminated after death and then turn into a sculpture?”
The transformation of the little genius should be one of these two situations, but no matter which one it is, it seems to be an "irreversible" transformation path.
When a person dies, he is dead. Even if he becomes a sculpture that can retain the ability to move, he is still a lifeless puppet.
Wait a minute… the dead?
"deceased……?"
He seemed to have thought of something...
The dead... of course don't have the five senses, so their ability to move depends on "perception" or "sensing", and non-human classmates... can't see anything!
Are all the non-human classmates not living people? !
“Hiss… Damn it!”
If the non-human classmates are really not living people, then doesn't that mean... almost half of the people in their classroom are fucking zombies? !
Lin Yi couldn't help but secretly spit, and a strong sense of disgust rose in his heart.
The fact of dancing with corpses is something you just hear about. If it really happens to you, you will feel a chilling sense of terror even if you are in a classroom. This has nothing to do with personality, because in the human body's subconscious mind, there is an almost instinctive resistance to "dead things".
"But why did the little genius walk on that non-existent road?"
The dead do not have five senses and rely on perception to act, so... in the little genius's cognition, there is something attracting it in that direction.
"What is it?"
"That's the direction the sea breeze is blowing from. Could it be the seaside?"
"But...at the beach?"
"Art Building?!"
The sign in front of the gymnasium says: [If you find it raining on the way to the gymnasium, please decide where to go based on the first building you see... If you look up and see other buildings, especially a castle in Western architectural style, please look around until you find the gymnasium or the teaching building... Please be sure: there is no castle on campus. ]
“Tsk!”
"A castle that doesn't exist!"
He narrowed his eyes.
"A non-existent road leads to a non-existent sea, and on the non-existent seashore... there is a non-existent castle!"
"That castle is most likely the art building!"
"The dead used their senses to go to the seaside, looking for the building leading to the art building... Are they going to the art building?"
"But how come the little genius who was a broken sculpture in the morning was able to move in the afternoon?"
"What form does it take?"
A lot of doubts suddenly emerged in Lin Yi's mind, and these doubts indirectly pointed to a way that might lead to the Art Building!
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly discovered that the breath he exhaled seemed to carry some ice crystal-like particles...
"ice crystals?!"
He was slightly stunned and tried to exhale again.
"call……"
A breath of white hot air came out of his mouth, like breathing out the snow in the Northeast.
He touched his face quietly and found that his skin was as cold as ice!
suddenly--
His mind felt dizzy and he staggered and took a step back.
“Shh…”
There was a crisp sound under his feet, like a piece of ice being crushed.
His line of sight moved slightly, down his thigh to his feet... He saw that the corridor beneath his feet was covered with frost. The chilly cold air had spread to the corridor like a tide at some point, and the ground beneath his feet had turned into solid ice!
An unprecedented chill began to howl like the cold wind of the northern winter, carrying frost fragments that began to wash over his body, making him feel an extreme cold that froze his heart...
Then, darkness and coldness came quietly, and Lin Yi felt that the world around him began to collapse and shatter at a terrifying speed. He looked up at the sky and found that the clear sky had become extremely dim at some point. The clear sky turned into a dark world as if covered by yellow sand!
No, this is not even a world full of yellow sand, but... a long and cold night!
Winter is here, and the nights are dark!
Gray fog filled the sky, like the foul air exhaled by gods, covering the entire world!
“Crack…Crack…Crack!!!”
Endless cracks gradually spread across the sky, like a hideous black spider web covering the sky. The dark gale formed by the spider web seemed like an endless abyss!
That is the abyss hanging high in the sky!
When you look up at the sky, the abyss is looking down on you from above!
"I... I have insight into some kind of 'truth'?!" Such a piece of information suddenly exploded in Lin Yi's mind!
“The abyss… the indescribable thing… the world… something… no… it’s not me who has seen the truth, but… something indescribable has seen… ‘me’?!”
Darkness slowly descended, and the shattered world turned into countless fragments. A dark phantom loomed over him...
Lin Yi felt an indescribable chill running through his back, as if someone had ripped out his spine, swung it in the cold wind, then wrapped it in a thick layer of ice crystals and put it back into his body!
"Hoo-ho--" A violent cold wind blew in his ears, and in the wind there was the sound of a surging tide. The sound became more and more similar, and finally it was like a cold wave on the sea, "Hua-Hua-Hua--" hitting the rocks on the shore...
He realized the problem—his consciousness had fallen to a lower level!
He then began to silently recite his student number and name in an attempt to consolidate his cognition and anchor himself back to the original level. However, this time the situation was different. He had clearly realized the problem, but he just couldn't extricate himself from it. It was like... trying his best to pull his feet out of a quagmire, but ended up sinking deeper and deeper!
Soon he found the source of the problem - it was that calling sound!!!
That...long-lost cry of pain!
This cry rang in his ears amid the cold wind and the sound of the waves, accompanied by the sound of the whistle, as if it were some kind of whisper and chant that ran through time, wrapped in obscure ancient prayers, being chanted:
【I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome! ! ! 】
