Chapter 131 Inside the Elevator
Chapter 131 Inside the Elevator
With Lin Yi's current cognitive coverage, it is obvious that he will not be stuck by this part of the rules. In Tian Bufan's words, he has broadened the boundaries of his cognition and expanded the scope of the "Novice Village".
Therefore, the applicability of some rules has been extended. For example, the first rule, for him, means, [the teaching building has more than four floors, there is a basement, an elevator, and Building D]. However, despite this, he still needs to abide by the rule of [prohibited from going there].
Because "having" and "not having" involve cognition, while "going" involves behavior.
Knowing what a crime is and committing a crime are two fundamentally different things.
The exploration of the teaching building is precisely the exploration of these newly recognized things.
For example, I don’t go to the area above the fourth floor of the teaching building, but that doesn’t stop me from standing on the fourth floor to see if there is a fifth floor, when the fifth floor will appear, and what the fifth floor looks like;
For example, there is an elevator in the teaching building. I don’t take it nor invite others to take it, but that doesn’t stop me from making some observations about the elevator.
And... Building D of the teaching building, I won't go there, but I can observe the main building from a distance, okay?
For these things, as long as there are any phenomena beyond cognition, Lin Yi will not think about them. He will just write them down and discuss them with Tian Bufan after returning to the dormitory.
In fact, whether it was the underground floor of the teaching building, the elevator of the teaching building, or Building D, he had already come into contact with them. At that time, his cognition was even shaken, and it was at that time that he experienced the first cognitive rewrite.
And now, he just changed from "seeing the tiger in the cage from a distance" to "observing the tiger through the cage from a close distance", and... he didn't need to observe it himself, he could just let Li Huiyuan observe it.
It's like flying a kite, and he is the one holding the kite string.
This is the correct way to use the cannon fodder tactic.
Cold-blooded? Yes.
But this is a deal in which both parties gain what they want, and it is also necessary to be cold-blooded.
For Li Huiyuan, the rusty sword is about to break, and only by tempering it with fierce fire to remove the rust and reforge it can it have a chance to be reborn.
Perhaps, the rusty sword will be destroyed in the process, but Li Huiyuan has already chosen this path, so Lin Yi should also be ruthless.
……
The elevator in the teaching building is located on another road extending from the corner. Just walk along the road returning from the bathroom for a while, then turn around and go straight to reach it.
X023年5月8日，13:23。
Lin Yi glanced down at his watch, and a thought came to his mind: "There are still 7 minutes left, and the cafeteria will be closed..."
At this time, Li Huiyuan turned over the folded paper in her hand and suddenly said, "Student Lin, tell me, if I pretend that this is a student ID, can I deceive myself and make it through the seven days?"
Lin Yi interrupted without mercy: "You are crazy. My student ID card can't open the door of the dormitory."
"Then I won't go back to the dormitory and stay in the classroom, or I can go directly to the dormitory management office after I return to the dormitory and stay overnight in the dormitory management office after the time is up?"
"Putting aside the question of whether you can stay awake for seven days in the classroom, the situation in the dormitory management office is completely unknown. It is hard to say what will happen after that." Lin Yi thought of the haggard appearance of the dormitory management office. He didn't know whether the dormitory management office was safe or not.
After all, even in the gym, which is known as one of the safest areas, there is a chef in a green bib asking you if you want a bite of fresh tomato!
Who knows what the dormitory management office looks like?
"Also, you can't swipe your card and buy food, so how do you solve the problem of eating? Student commemorative coins are free, but you can't eat them." Lin Yi added.
Li Huiyuan curled her lips and said, "I heard that... the ready-to-eat food you buy from the canteen can be given to others as a gift."
Lin Yi was slightly stunned. He had not expected this.
"Okay, Li Huiyuan is indeed an extension of my cognition..."
"But the snacks in the canteen can only fill your stomach, but they have no effect on purifying pollution."
"But forget it. If I mention this, I'll have to spend a lot of time explaining this new knowledge to her, which will easily cause some cognitive problems for her..."
Lin Yi shook his head: "It's not a desperate situation yet, don't think about it for now, you should find a way to get the student commemorative coins first."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Huiyuan nodded gently. To her, Lin Yi, who pulled her back from the abyss, was her only backbone.
The two of them walked and talked, and soon they came to the area in front of the elevator. At this time, Lin Yi called Li Huiyuan: "It's right here, don't get close yet."
Li Huiyuan was a little confused, but still stopped.
Lin Yi continued: "Observe the environment ahead and tell me what you see."
Li Huiyuan had no objection. She nodded and said okay, then began to observe the elevator.
While Li Huiyuan was observing the environment ahead, Lin Yi was observing Li Huiyuan's situation while paying attention to the passage of time on his watch. Once she showed any abnormal changes, he would quickly pull her back from the abnormal state.
The relationship between the two seemed to have subtly changed at this moment. It was not that they had reached some kind of bond, but... it felt more like a visually impaired patient and his guide dog.
Half a minute passed, then a minute passed, and Li Huiyuan did not show any abnormal reaction.
"Okay." Lin Yi patted Li Huiyuan's shoulder, "Did you find anything? Green mist, or seeing some strange things, or having some hallucinations, as long as you feel there is something wrong, you can tell me."
However, Li Huiyuan shook her head: "I didn't find anything."
"Oh... OK." Lin Yi responded in a long tone, and then said, "Now you stand behind me, and I will observe."
"Then what should I do?" Li Huiyuan asked.
Lin Yi said: "Observe me. If you feel that there is something wrong with me, or if your intuition gives you a bad feeling, wake me up immediately."
"wake?"
"Well, you'll know when you encounter that kind of situation." Lin Yi said no more and focused his attention on the space in front of him, observing the environment of the elevator.
He was now five meters in front of the elevator. From here, there was a completely dark corridor. At the end of the corridor was a corner that looked a bit cramped, and there was an elevator.
He looked up at the ceiling. He was now standing where the last corridor light was installed.
In other words, the space in front is a pure area that can only rely on natural light refracted from the wall for illumination. Once night falls, even if all the incandescent lamps in the teaching building are turned on after 18:00, the area in the elevator room cannot be illuminated. It is like a conceptually dark area, a corner that seems to be inaccessible even to light.
If it was abnormal weather, Lin Yi would not even take a second look and would simply choose to turn around and leave. But now, he dared to take this step only because the weather was right.
He observed the elevator quietly, but like Li Huiyuan, he did not see anything unusual.
He waited patiently for nearly two minutes, but the vision with average exposure quality did not appear at all.
Li Huiyuan didn't say anything, silently waiting for Lin Yi's result.
Finally, Lin Yi shook his head helplessly: “I still have to get closer to observe.”
In fact, according to Tian Bufan, it would be best to just press the “↑” button on the elevator, wait for the elevator door to open, and then go in to take a look at the situation inside.
Generally speaking, if you can see the inside of the elevator, especially the row of floor buttons, you can get a lot of information.
Lin Yi thought of Mao Feiyang's predicament, and went through a series of thought storms in his mind. Finally, he decided to press the "↑" button and see what happens.
If you have to press that button sooner or later, you might as well press it while the weather is still good.
Li Huiyuan noticed the change in Lin Yi's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Do you need me to press it?"
"Let me do it." Lin Yi shook his head. Li Huiyuan was not in a safe state, and it was impossible to predict what would happen if he pressed the button, but he could.
He then took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the elevator door.
This step was extremely heavy. From the moment he took this step, it meant that he and Tian Bufan were on the same front - a path of exploring the campus and then rescuing Mao Feiyang in the face of all the strange problems on the campus.
The distance of five meters was not much to walk, and when Lin Yi stepped into that dark corner, even though he had made enough mental preparations, even though his cognition had been broadened enough, even though his will was strong enough, he still felt the swallowing feeling like a huge mouth of the abyss...
Pitch-black shadows enveloped him from all directions like sticky black glue, and a chilly breath seemed to mix with the icy wind and pounce on his face.
He glanced at his watch subconsciously.
13: 30.
The cafeteria is closed at this time.
He glanced at his clothes again.
No frost.
So that cold feeling was just a feeling he got from the surrounding environment, and his layer did not change at all.
"I'm in the teaching building." He steadied his will, then walked to the elevator and reached out to press the "↑" button.
A slight sense of feedback was transmitted to Lin Yi's hand along the texture of the "↑" arrow. It was icy cold and normal, without any abnormality.
"Ding!"
A crisp bell immediately rang in the elevator.
Lin Yi was slightly stunned.
Huh? The elevator stops directly at this floor?
Just as he was stunned, a series of sounds of mechanical parts starting to operate were heard from inside the elevator door. With a "clang", the elevator door opened to both sides.
As the elevator door opened, Lin Yi saw a terrifying scene that instantly horrified him and would be unforgettable for the rest of his life - the extremely limited space inside the elevator was densely packed with inhuman classmates.
The reason why it is creepy is that this kind of "crowding" is not the traditional kind of crowdedness like squeezing on a bus, but another kind of crowdedness that makes you feel shocked and disgusted as soon as you see it, and it is very "tense".
Those inhuman classmates were like boneless flesh and blood, "filled" in the elevator by an invisible force. The entire elevator was filled with "classmates" in this form, and the vision was filled with bent, twisted, deformed, and squirming flesh and blood...
In the "cross-section" after the elevator door was opened, Lin Yi could see no less than twenty twisted palms alone, and it was even more difficult to distinguish the heads. He could only judge whether that part was a head by the large eyeballs protruding from the skin.
It is hard to imagine what kind of "storage genius" could knead such a large number of non-human classmates together and stuff them into such a cramped and small elevator car.
At this moment, Lin Yi was standing about 30 centimeters in front of the "cross section" after the elevator door opened...
He was like a man groping slowly forward in the darkness, and suddenly opened a strange palace lurking in the dark abyss. The moment the door of the palace opened, he was faced with ordinary people in the palace who were "works of art" of ancient cult and abstract madness.
This cult style, which was completely different from the normal painting style of the modern world, penetrated into his mind like a fierce hurricane, making him seem to see a mural with abstract lines and wriggling...
He seemed to have seen that kind of abstract lines and textures before, like... the murals in the art building?!
Lin Yi was so shocked by the strange and mysterious scene before him that he was speechless. He gradually opened his eyes wide and a look of horror appeared on his face.
At this moment, some large bloodshot eyeballs suddenly opened up from the squirming flesh. These eyeballs were wide open, and as soon as they opened, they rolled around as if looking for something.
Gradually, some big eyes looked towards Lin Yi...
Just like that, Lin Yi felt a sense of terror that he had been noticed by countless people. His hair stood on end and he stepped back involuntarily...
Countless emotions such as gloomy, weird, crazy, and indifferent seemed to pour out from the darkness and swallow him up.
But he did not swallow it. He just backed away along the same path and left the dark corner and returned to the corridor illuminated by the sun.
Then Lin Yi discovered that those eyes were not paying attention to him, but were just looking around, as if they were observing the sky.
Suddenly, a sound like the trembling tail of a rattlesnake appeared in Lin Yi's ears.
“Rustle… rustle…”
