Chapter 134 Sculpture "Li Huiyuan"

Seeing that Lin Yi did not refute, Xu Shunkang continued: "We call those things 'nocturnal species'. As the name suggests, they are a group of deformed creatures that can only appear at night."

After Xu Shunkang said this, he began to observe Lin Yi's expression.

Lin Yi kept muttering the name "Nocturnal Species" and then asked in confusion: "Are they alive or dead?"

Xu Shunkang was somewhat surprised that Lin Yi would ask this question, so he said, "Some are already dead, and some are still alive."

"Why are they still alive after they died..." Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, "Is it the power of 'pollution' that is driving their dead bodies? So... they are a kind of 'creature' that is deeply polluted?"

"'Organisms'?" Xu Shunkang shook his head. "They cannot be defined as 'organisms'. They are a kind of alien species. You can think of them as 'people' who have been exposed to strong radiation or infected with a virus. Their state is between 'life' and 'death'."

"Some of them are still alive, but because of the pollution, they have become nocturnal species. Some have died, and some are even made up of corpses of multiple creatures. After being polluted, they have acquired certain mobility and become nocturnal species."

Lin Yi understood: "So, 'Nocturnal Species' is actually a generalization of creatures or units within a certain range?"

"Correct."

“Will they become sculptures then?”

"Fuck!" Xu Shunkang was shocked. "Your cognitive domain has expanded to this level? You even know about sculptures?"

Lin Yi nodded in confusion, then he thought of the scene when Xu Shunkang was frightened by the underground first floor of the teaching building, and asked tentatively: "So... can you guys talk about this?"

Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang looked at each other, then one nodded and the other shook his head.

The two of them pondered for a moment, then switched who was nodding and who was shaking their heads.

“Fuck, just talk to him.” Xie Huayang said angrily, “I’m afraid if I talk to him for too long, I’ll beat him up because I can’t stand his mean look.”

"Hey, I was seeking knowledge in a humbly and polite manner, why does it sound so mean in your mouth?" Lin Yi said speechlessly.

Xu Shunkang nodded: "Okay, I'll say a few words to him... By the way, if I'm about to cross the line, interrupt me in time."

"Got it." Xie Huayang waved his hands impatiently.

Xu Shunkang then looked at Lin Yi, took a deep breath, and said, "In a sense...nocturnal species are sculptures."

"?!" Lin Yi was suddenly shocked.

Xu Shunkang suddenly shut up.

"Damn...did I say something shocking?" He looked at Xie Huayang.

Xie Huayang glared at him angrily: "What the hell are you looking at me for? Ask him! The cognitive collapse is not caused by me, it's none of my business!"

Xu Shunkang looked at Lin Yi worriedly, but Lin Yi took a deep breath and continued, "Well, senior, can you tell me more specifically, in what sense?"

Lin Yi realized that there might be a transformation path hidden here, and it was very likely a complete path!

Xu Shunkang said first: "Before I explain this to you, let me ask you, how much do you know about sculptures? I can't tell you information that is beyond your understanding... Just like when you mentioned that place the other day, do you understand?"

"I understand." Lin Yi nodded.

Then, he recalled what the Art Building Rules said about sculptures, and slowly said, "Sculptures are full-length human figures that appear to be made of pure white plaster. They are usually still, but may appear to be moving or active under special circumstances."

Xu Shunkang's expression became serious and he gave a thumbs up: "Awesome summary."

"Bullshit... These are the exact words from the Art Building's rules..." Lin Yi observed Xu Shunkang's thoughts and used the information gap to scare Xu Shunkang, who had never read the Art Department's rules.

Xu Shunkang said: "In fact, when you firmly believe from the bottom of your heart that 'the sculptures on campus are moving', it means that you have already known a lot of information...but at the same time, it also means that you have fallen into the vortex of the 'magnetic field'."

At this point, he sighed.

Magnetic field... Lin Yi was silent for a moment. He was indeed trapped in the vortex of the magnetic field. Xu Shunkang was right about that.

On the contrary, Li Huiyuan, who was beside Lin Yi, fell into a trance when she heard Lin Yi's "definition" of the sculpture.

Sculptures... move?
Aren’t the sculptures in that so-called art building?
How had Lin Yi seen the sculpture?
How could he know it so clearly if he had never seen it?

Many questions suddenly popped up in Li Huiyuan's mind, the most crucial point being... the sculpture is a moving pure white human-shaped plaster statue.

This description is similar to the things in the elevator...

There is only one missing "human form"...

Humanoid?

Li Huiyuan was slightly startled, and a pure white human-shaped sculpture involuntarily appeared in her mind...

The human-shaped sculpture looked very vague. It looked like a girl in very cute clothes. There was a pedestal at the foot of the sculpture. There seemed to be a nameplate on the pedestal. There seemed to be words on the nameplate...

what is that……

Subconsciously, she had the thought of going to take a look at the nameplate, and as this thought came to her mind, her sight kept moving closer to the base.

The nameplate on the base clearly reads:

"Li Huiyuan"

「X0320507046」

Li Huiyuan's whole body trembled suddenly, as if she was struck by lightning from the sky. She staggered backwards and almost fell to the ground.

She suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet become a little stiff, and when she looked down...she suddenly discovered that the floor tiles beneath her feet had somehow turned into a pure white sculpture base, and the human-shaped sculpture that was originally in front of her had disappeared.

The sculpture is missing?!

The sculpture moves...

The sculpture moves!!
She felt creepy, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her head, but she felt that something was wrong, so she lowered her head again...

The sculpture is still there.

The sculpture is still on its pedestal.

She’s on the pedestal.

She is the sculpture.

When she realized this, her mind was shaken and she lost the ability to think for a moment.

She suddenly fell onto the pedestal and felt darkness all around her, as if she had fallen into an abyss.

The outline of a white human-shaped sculpture gradually and uncontrollably began to form in her dull brain, and the face of the sculpture was obviously her face... Suddenly, that face spoke.

"Li Huiyuan..."

"Li Huiyuan..."

That was not her voice, but a male voice, as if it had come from a very far place across the ocean to reach her, intermittent and extremely unreal, yet it seemed to be right in front of her...

That voice... so familiar...

What a familiar voice...

Who is calling me...

Who is…?
"Li Huiyuan!"

"Li Huiyuan!!"

The sound became louder and more rapid, echoing in her ears as if it had some kind of magic.

Suddenly... she discovered that the facial contours of the human sculpture with her own appearance in her mind were suddenly rippled by the impact of the call...

As the ripples pushed forward, the original appearance began to distort. Gradually, the face began to change into another one. The appearance was extremely blurry, but the area around the lips kept talking: "Li Huiyuan! Li Huiyuan! Li Huiyuan..."

That calling voice seemed to come from the mouth of the sculpture in her mind!!!

But this voice is so familiar...

who is it?

Whose voice is that…?
She fell into confusion, but the blurry image began to solidify, and eventually, it became a completely new image, which turned out to be...

Lin Yi?!
The sculpture had Lin Yi's appearance and spoke Lin Yi's voice...

No, that’s not a sculpture…that…that’s Lin Yi.

"Classmate Lin...?" Li Huiyuan looked at the familiar handsome face in front of her and suddenly felt at ease.

……

X023年5月8日，14:06。

In the corridor in front of the stairs, Lin Yi put his hands on Li Huiyuan's shoulders and kept calling her name. Xu Shunkang beside him was staring at Li Huiyuan with a frown, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xie Huayang had already put the bat on his shoulder, and seemed to be brewing an impulse of "physical awakening".

Feeling Li Huiyuan's rising body temperature and looking at her eyes that had refocused, Lin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Li Huiyuan's shoulder, indicating that she was okay.

Xie Huayang put the bat back into his sportswear, frowned, and was about to ask some questions, but Xu Shunkang at the side quickly pulled him back, suppressed his words with his eyes, and asked Lin Yi with a smile: "Did you know that there was something wrong with her from the beginning?"

Xu Shunkang watched Lin Yi's familiar method of waking up Li Huiyuan, and felt that Lin Yi was about to have the words "It's nothing special, it's just my practice" written all over his face.

Anyone who can do this is definitely not a "newbie" who has just started.

Moreover, if Li Huiyuan had not suddenly fallen off the floor, they would not have been able to discover Li Huiyuan's abnormality, but Lin Yi's reaction was incredibly fast, just like a car that knew where there was a drainage ditch to take the road as soon as it turned a corner...

Lin Yi calmed Li Huiyuan down, and then said calmly: "Li Huiyuan's student ID was eaten by the green bib chef."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Then three words began to circle around in Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang’s minds: student ID, green bib chef, and eat.

“No…” Xu Shunkang’s expression became extremely strange. “With so many complicated factors, how the hell did you say it in such a calm tone?!”

Lin Yi was somewhat speechless: "Do I have to play some sad BGM and talk to you with a sad face?"

"..." Xu Shunkang curled his lips, "That's not necessary, but what I mean is... you act too calm."

Lin Yi shook his head slightly: "I have almost exhausted my 'shock' in the past two days, it is normal to be a little calm."

Xu Shunkang wiped his sweat and said, "I understand, I understand..."

"So, there is this person beside you now?" Xie Huayang couldn't help asking, "Are you really not afraid of being killed? Are you hiding a bomb in your crotch?"

"I have my plans." Lin Yi responded.

"Your plan will only lead to your own destruction!"

Lin Yi frowned slightly. On the first night, Xie Huayang gave a lot of "mandatory" suggestions in a paranoid tone.

At that time, he thought it was just because Xie Huayang had a bad temper, but now he vaguely felt that Xie Huayang seemed to have a strong desire for control in his character, and liked to use his own experience to teach him how to do things - no matter whether he understood him or knew what his current situation was, he just wanted him to do things according to what he said.

Seeing that Xie Huayang was about to start "teaching" Lin Yi, Xu Shunkang quickly grabbed him again and said, "So she lost her student ID and is following you now... trying to save her life?"

Lin Yi didn't want to explain the concept of "cannon fodder", fearing that he would be beaten by the irritable Xie Huayang, so he simply nodded: "Almost."

Xu Shunkang was silent for a moment: "Without a student ID card... it is indeed not absolutely safe to stay in the classroom. If you dare to take her with you, then take her with you."

Lin Yi noticed that Xu Shunkang said "dare" instead of "want", so he asked: "Is there a problem?"

Xu Shunkang patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Don't worry, if there are any more problems, it will be like that."

Lin Yi: “???”

"The class teacher should have her own arrangements. You should listen to her on major matters and handle minor matters on your own." Xu Shunkang suddenly thought of something, glanced at the direction of the elevator, and added, "By the way... you can walk to the river and get your shoes wet, but remember to control the degree. If you fall into the river, you will be really finished."

Lin Yi didn't know why Xu Shunkang suddenly changed his mind about him, but he nodded anyway, and then said, "So now that we've talked about the sculpture, can we continue to talk about the 'Nocturnal Species'?"

Just now he asked what a nocturnal species was, and Xu Shunkang said that in a sense, a nocturnal species was a sculpture, and asked him in return if he knew what a sculpture was. After he finished speaking, before Xu Shunkang could say anything, Li Huiyuan's layer fell off first...

After he pulled Li Huiyuan out of the layer, Xu Shunkang didn't seem to want to continue talking, which forced him to correct the trajectory of the topic so that the conversation could get back to the main topic.

After saying that, he looked down at his watch.

14: 13.

He frowned slightly. Although time seemed to be abundant, it was actually running out. He only had more than an hour left to explore.

The information obtained from the elevator was not much, but it took him almost an hour.

The price/performance ratio is too low!
It would be a great loss if we cannot obtain some intelligence information directly from Xu Shunkang.
