Chapter 129: Death in the Light

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat: "What did I miss?!"

"Is the layer still wrong?"

"Wasn't it Ryoko who went to the bathroom with me from the beginning?!"

"What about the real Ryoko?"

Lin Yi quickly turned around and left the men's restroom, but as soon as he turned around he bumped into someone, and the "bang" hit him so hard that he almost saw stars.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" Wei Liang's wailing came from the other end. When Lin Yi opened his eyes, he saw Wei Liang fell to the ground with his buttocks. He was covering his forehead in a daze, looking at him resentfully.

"Liangzi, what are you doing running behind me?" While Lin Yi felt relieved, he couldn't help but complain speechlessly.

"Fuck, what do you mean I should run behind you? You were washing your hands when you suddenly slid backwards for a distance using the space walk, and then rushed into the restroom. I thought you were having a mental attack again, so I was just about to call you, but you turned around and hit me from behind and sent me flying!" Wei Liang was filled with resentment, and he got up from the ground with gritted teeth.

Lin Yi ignored Wei Liang's complaints and asked directly: "When did you finish peeing?"

"Shit, I called you when I was washing my hands after peeing, and you even said 'hmm'? Don't you remember?" Wei Liang's eyes widened, "Do you think I can't stop peeing like you? I'm a virgin, and my urine can ward off evil spirits!"

"You went out first? And you told me?" Lin Yi muttered.

“What the hell, how come I don’t have any impression at all? Ehmm… But I was still thinking about something at that time, so maybe I really just said “hmm” to get by, but even so, it’s impossible that I don’t have any impression at all, right?”

Moreover, he felt that everything that happened to him was very smooth, from the time he finished and went out to wash his hands, to seeing the fake Wei Liang and then bumping into Wei Liang, there was no feeling of any loss of layers at all!

Smooth and silky!
It feels like what I experienced was one completely connected thing!

Even the time... is not a problem!

Lin Yi looked at the time on his watch - 13:06.

No problem, no problem at all.

But... the fact is obviously not like that!
In reality, his body also synchronously completed the same actions as when he encountered the fake Wei Liang.

It was like his original path was a black silk thread, and then suddenly a section of the path was covered by white silk thread, and then he experienced the black silk thread and the white silk thread at the same time, and finally returned to the black silk thread at the beginning...

But the problem is, he doesn't remember what happened to the black part of the silk that was covered by the white silk.

"Memory gap!"

"There's a gap in my memory! It was only for about a minute, but... I definitely lost that part of my memory!"

Wei Liang came to him impatiently and waved his hand in front of him: "Are you stupid?"

Lin Yi recovered for a moment, then shook his head, indicating to Wei Liang that he was not stupid, and said seriously: "I am fine too."

"Gah? What?"

"Mine can also ward off evil spirits."

Wei Liang was stunned for a moment, then said unwillingly: "My quality is higher."

"If you become more powerful the more you guide me, then I will accept your words."

"Damn it! Get out!" Wei Liang gritted his teeth.

The two of them argued for a few more words, and suddenly, a terrified scream came from the direction of the women's restroom.

Lin Yi and Wei Liang looked at each other and reacted at the same time, exclaiming, "Li Huiyuan!"

"Wait a minute, Liangzi, don't be impulsive!" Lin Yi stretched out his hand to stop Wei Liang's body, "Be careful not to be deceived, let's first... uh..."

After Wei Liang exclaimed, he had no intention of running over and just stood there.

"It's you, Old Lin, who is shouting in panic." Wei Liang touched his nose.

In fact, the actions taken by the two were surprisingly consistent - neither of them rushed towards the women's restroom, but instead stayed where they were calmly.

In fact, since Lin Yi entered S City University, he has never acted on impulse. He was more likely to passively fall into thinking and then forcibly reverse the situation and get out of the distorted layer. This was the first time he encountered an urgent matter like this.

Lin Yi had never suffered a loss due to his impulsiveness, but he had no intention of suffering such a loss.

The moment he heard Li Huiyuan's scream, an idea emerged in his mind. The strange thing was that this idea was not "Li Huiyuan is in danger and I must save her", but the doubt about the situation that arose after meeting the fake Wei Liang... "Is it the real Li Huiyuan who is screaming?"
"What should we do? Should we go over there?" Wei Liang asked Lin Yi for his opinion.

Lin Yi nodded slightly: "Push forward slowly. We are not sure if that is really Li Huiyuan... But, we cannot deny that she is really asking for help."

What if it really was Li Huiyuan calling for help, and he had promised to help if he could, but now he doesn't even go to take a look? It's really unacceptable.

"Then..." Wei Liang hesitated.

Lin Yi knew Wei Liang's "playing style" and knew that he wanted to survive the seven days in the most survivable way possible and didn't want to be dragged down by Li Huiyuan's affairs, so he said in a deep voice: "Liangzi, why don't you go back to the classroom first and I'll go see Li Huiyuan?"

Wei Liang narrowed his eyes, seemed to think for a while, then shook his head: "I'd better follow you. If I find anything wrong with you, I can interrupt you immediately."

Lin Yi asked back: "Will this be okay?"

Wei Liang said: "I know what's going on."

Lin Yi was instantly moved, and then he seemed to hear Wei Liang muttering in a low voice: "If I find that it's not working, I will run away immediately..."

Lin Yi carefully turned the corner, but just as he turned the corner, he saw Li Huiyuan stumbling towards him from the women's restroom with a look of panic on her face.

"Classmate Lin! Classmate Lin!" She seemed to be very frightened and her steps became disorderly when she ran.

"Li Huiyuan!" Lin Yi's heart trembled slightly. Just as he was about to go up to her, his vision suddenly zoomed in on the face of "Li Huiyuan" like a pinhole camera lens! He saw that the panic on "Li Huiyuan's" face was actually a little stiff, without any subtle changes in expression, as if it was made after precise calculations.

"That's not Li Huiyuan!" A chill suddenly rose on his back, causing him to pause slightly in his movement to meet her, and he even showed a tendency to take a half step back.

And "Li Huiyuan" was still running towards him, quickly closing the distance between them.

"Run?" This thought came to Lin Yi's mind, but he immediately rejected this decision.

Although he didn't know whether this "Li Huiyuan" had some similar logic to the non-human classmates and sculptures, but judging from the fact that it could move in the corridor without direct sunlight, its "grade" would definitely not be too low. It could only be overestimated, not underestimated, so he felt that if he wanted to run, he would probably not be able to.

Then all that's left is the front face.

Lin Yi forced himself to calm down, and then quickly observed the surrounding environment. The distance between him and Li Huiyuan was less than 20 meters, so he had to respond quickly before he finished observing the environment.

"Student Li!" Lin Yi suddenly shouted, and then ran towards "Li Huiyuan" in small steps, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"Old Lin! Something is wrong!" Wei Liang wanted to shout to stop him, but it was too late. Lin Yi was about to collide with Li Huiyuan!

"Student Lin!" "Li Huiyuan" still looked terrified, and she staggered and was about to fall into Lin Yi's arms.

Lin Yi quickly made a move to lend a helping hand, but just as his hand was about to touch Li Huiyuan, he suddenly half turned sideways like a Peking Opera master catching his opponent's lance.

"Li Huiyuan" was careless and rushed forward for a distance, just like an athlete whose feet suddenly slipped before reaching the finish line of a 100-meter sprint. Lin Yi quickly kicked it on the butt, giving it a boost, causing it to rush out of the corridor and the stairs like a sandbag and fall onto the road outside the teaching building.

The blazing light at noon fell from the clouds, nailing it to the ground of the teaching building like billions of holy swords in the clouds.

Without caring about feeling the feedback from the kick just now, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at "Li Huiyuan" who fell outside the corridor, and then said in a deep voice: "You are not Li Huiyuan."

[You are not Li Huiyuan.]

When "Li Huiyuan" heard this, her body began to tremble violently, as if she was about to lose some kind of protection.

"No... Classmate Lin, I am Li Huiyuan! I am Li Huiyuan!!" It let out a painful growl, but some distorted textures appeared on its face, and even its voice became slightly distorted.

"No, you are not." Lin Yi said coldly.

The tone of these last four words was as firm as iron, as if sentencing it to death and depriving it of its identity, ruthlessly tearing apart its disguise.

"No - I am - I am ... I ... ah -"

"Li Huiyuan" still wanted to support itself from the ground with its hands, but as Lin Yi pronounced his sentence, it seemed to have lost some kind of self-anchoring ability, and the whole "person" began to twitch violently under the sunlight.

Soon its shape began to become unstable, like rubber that begins to deform and melt when heated. Its face began to distort, and it began to droop to the ground like a disgusting sticky liquid. Its entire shape also began to lose color as it squirmed, gradually turning into a mass of pure white plaster-like sticky liquid substance...

Wisps of white mist seeped out from its body like a sauna, then slowly diffused into the sky and evaporated.

Looking at the white mist, Lin Yi's vision suddenly changed briefly, and the whole world in front of his eyes turned into a black and white texture like a highly exposed photo, but in that black and white vision, the mass of plaster liquid humanoid creature was not white but green!
A faint green fluorescent substance flowed in its body. With the sunlight, the substance continued to evaporate from its body as if it was being purified, and turned into a mixture of green powder particles and green smoke, which rose into the air like coming out of a chimney.

After being diluted by the air, this mixed gas eventually dissipated completely, and even his current vision with average exposure quality could no longer observe it.

His vision lasted for about six or seven seconds before gradually returning to normal.

Six or seven seconds, this is the longest observation record for him. The previous frame skipping was only two or three seconds.

But even though his vision had returned to normal, the plaster liquid humanoid creature had not stopped wriggling. It became more and more like a ball of rubber, wriggling continuously under the sun, and the area at the edge of it turned into a dry, hard plaster-like substance after the white mist evaporated.

As the white mist evaporated, more and more areas of its body began to harden, eventually turning into a sculptural version of something with a preliminary humanoid outline... white stinky mud.

Lin Yi also discovered something - the white mist that can be observed in normal vision will be observed by him as green mixed mist in the vision of exposed image quality!

"This is the difference between normal white mist and abnormal white mist!"

"The white mist that represents pollution is actually a green mist that normal people cannot see!"

And that plaster liquid humanoid seemed to be a creature that could move freely as long as it hid in the shadows...or rather, a unit.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi couldn't be sure what it was attached to, because he didn't encounter anything like it the whole day on May 5th.

Wei Liang looked at the humanoid white stinky mud sculpture on the ground with some surprise, then looked at Lin Yi's feet, and suddenly showed an expression like an old man on the subway looking at his phone: "Old Lin, you fucking...did you just kick this humanoid poop in the butt?"

Human-shaped poop... Lin Yi's face turned dark, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently. He thought to himself, could this focus be a little more normal?
"Thank you, I am disgusted."

"But... does this count as 'death in the light'?" Wei Liang showed a surprised look, walked down the stairs, picked up a stone and threw it over.

"Snapped!"

The white stinky mud sculpture fell apart on the spot, turning into countless sculpture fragments of varying sizes, and then continued to break apart, eventually turning into some white powder particles that drifted away like sand...

Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang in surprise: "Liangzi...you?"

"Ah, this..." Wei Liang also stood there in a daze.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Wei Liang felt as helpless as if Yu Chuchu had accidentally killed Dugu Jiansheng on the steps in front of the Tianxia Association.

"I didn't fucking mean it!" he said emphatically.

Lin Yi shrugged, and suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed: "Let's go see Li Huiyuan!"

Wei Liang quickly put away his playful expression and followed Lin Yi to the ladies' room.

Arriving at the women's restroom, Lin Yi hesitated for a moment and called out, "Li Huiyuan, are you still there?"

"Lin...is that classmate Lin?" Li Huiyuan's voice was extremely trembling, accompanied by some confusion and fear, and came faintly from a corner deep in the women's restroom.
