Chapter 138: My World
Chapter 138: My World
Lin Yi looked around again, and even began to take steps towards the covered bridge, then tried to reach out and gently touch the covered bridge of this world.
Feeling the rough gravel particles on the cement wall scratching across his palms, Lin Yi began to be shocked by the real feedback of this imaginary world...
It was just like that that made him feel a little tired.
"Tiredness...?"
His vision suddenly became blurred, and the feeling of fatigue seemed to have worsened.
He seemed to understand something and suddenly rushed towards the covered bridge.
The twisted corridor bridge had a bumpy surface, and Lin Yi almost fell down after stumbling upon many things just a few meters away. He finally entered the corridor bridge with difficulty, holding onto the concrete wall.
He lay on the covered bridge, resisting the call of fatigue in his heart, stretched his neck with all his strength, and looked down at the covered bridge!
“As expected…!”
Lin Yi's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw that under the covered bridge was a world filled with white fog. The mountainous terrain and cobblestone roads that were supposed to appear were gone, and even the green forest belt could not be seen at all!
The white mist did not spread upwards, but stayed at the bottom of the bridge and spread a little bit upwards.
The line formed by the white mist just overlaps with the line where the moss is straightened, becoming the dividing line between the blank area and the moss area on the bridge.
Just as he looked at the white mist, the slightly surging white mist slowly surged like waves on the seashore, submerging the area in the middle and lower part of the covered bridge that was almost covered with moss.
At the same time, a chilly feeling that had never appeared before began to spread from the white mist.
"This is not mountain fog!" Lin Yi reacted instantly, "This is 'pollution'! It is a white fog formed entirely by the smell of pollution!"
The surging white mist seemed to be carrying the rhythm of some kind of waves surging onto the coastline, "Hua-Hua-Hua-" as if there was an ocean hidden underneath it...
At the same time, a strong feeling of weakness began to surge into his heart, and a strong sense of fatigue seemed to permeate his body.
"It's time to go! Go!"
Incredibly, when he made up his mind to "leave", he suddenly felt a sense of relief. The spine that was almost crushed by the sight of the white fog and the sound of the waves seemed to have felt the weight of the whole world and suddenly straightened up.
He felt like a spirit, "whooshing" along the rugged and bumpy ground of the covered bridge to cover the distance of several meters, then passed through the layer of "gauze" and overlapped with the self in "reality"...
……
May 023, X5, 8:14, Teaching Building C, corridor entrance and exit.
Lin Yi's eyes suddenly focused and he came back to his senses abruptly.
When I came to my senses, I saw a piece of uniform making a fierce "DuangDuangDuang" sound, as if some magnificent beast was being suppressed underneath...
But before he could recover from the shock, his whole body was rocked like a small boat in the storm, and he felt his head was also rocking "DuangDuangDuang".
At the same time, Li Huiyuan's anxious voice rang in his ears: "Student Lin! Wake up! Student Lin! Student Lin..."
Lin Yi quickly said: "I'm back, I'm back..."
Hearing Lin Yi's voice, Li Huiyuan finally let go of her hands as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders, and it seemed as if there were little pearls swirling in her eye sockets.
She was extremely anxious just now, thinking that shaking you still won’t wake you up, I’m almost dizzy myself... Wake up, wake up, if you don’t wake up I’m going to hit you...
Then, just when she was about to make up her mind and go against her conscience to give Lin Yi a slap in the face, Lin Yi woke up.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little worried and asked anxiously, "Student Lin, are you okay?"
Lin Yi panted and waved his hands: "It's not a big problem, I'm just a little tired..."
Lin Yi was very surprised, because the feeling of fatigue really came back with him, but it did not affect his body, but affected his mind... or rather, his feeling.
He felt a little exhausted, as if he had spent a long time working on a math problem and still got it wrong. Although he was not physically exhausted, he felt that it was very mentally or mentally taxing.
Lin Yi guessed that this kind of mental exhaustion was because he not only had to conceive of a teaching building, but also had to twist it into another shape and maintain it... This kind of mental exhaustion was a great destruction to his mental strength.
Just like maintaining a server running, he opened a "Minecraft" in his mind. Originally, it was just a mosaic version, and he just wanted to see the whole picture. But when he walked towards the bridge and began to feel the real details in the world, his brain suddenly increased the consumption in order to really create that sense of reality.
Therefore, his energy was quickly consumed, and he felt extremely tired, as if his energy was being sucked away by a water pump.
But it's all worth it.
Because he glanced at the fog at the last moment.
This was something beyond his imagination, a picture he could never have imagined... something that seemed to have invaded his "daylight of fantasy"!
A...virus!
"'Pollution'..." Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and guessed, "The pollution I have suffered seems to have also penetrated into the world I imagined..."
"The white mist filling the air under the covered bridge is like the border of a world!"
On one side is the imaginary world, on the other side is the polluted world...
"No... it's not that kind of boundary. It's more like the boundary between reality and imagination!"
Lin Yi seemed to be lost in thought, vaguely feeling that this imaginary world was very relevant. He even had an illogical inference - could it be that he was once again attracted by the "abnormal environment of the campus" and thus had a fantasy day in which he "thought he was in control", but was actually guided by the "weird environment"?
Just like the thoughts he had on the night of May 5, the vague sense of boundaries made him unable to tell whether he was active or passive.
Is it the same now?
It’s just that…he thought he was taking the initiative?
Although he is now completely different from the person he was on May 5, but... pollution also occurs gradually!
As the virtue grows, the evil becomes stronger. As Lin Yi grows, the pollution in his body may increase even more and become more difficult to detect!
Otherwise, why could he see something similar to the world's boundary and feel the existence of the waves in the world of imaginary daylight?
It must be because those horrible, dangerous, dark, weird...all the indescribable things are all hidden under the white fog and lurking under the covered bridge!
And he...under the care and guidance of Pollution, completed a fantasy without feeling any sense of danger?
In the daytime of fantasy, the real danger does not come from fantasy, but from the peeping of the real world hidden behind the fantasy world!
Lin Yi realized this, but once this idea came out, it was hard to understand logically. It was like several contradictory laws suddenly got entangled together, forming a paradoxical cycle...
Lin Yi didn't dare to think about it any further. This aspect of thinking was like a ball of wool that a cat had played with. It looked like there were threads, but in fact, the inside was already a mess. If he pulled the threads mindlessly, he would only get himself tangled up in it. Xu Shunkang's reminder played a crucial role at this moment - it was okay to walk to the river, and it was okay to get his shoes wet, but remember to control the degree. If he fell into the river, he would be really finished.
Lin Yi has already sensed the logical problems here. The logic is contradictory and cannot be self-consistent, but when taken separately, they can prove themselves... It is too messy. The problems here are definitely beyond his scope at the moment.
"Let's save it for later when we get back to the dorm tonight and discuss it with Mr. Tian..."
Lin Yi made up his mind and buried everything he had seen and heard deep in his heart.
He glanced at his watch.
14: 52.
"It's almost three o'clock. Let me take a break, and then we'll go to the 'next stop'." Lin Yi squatted down on the spot and rested with his back against a pillar. "Don't waste time. Just take a three-minute break to let me recover."
Li Huiyuan pursed her lips and nodded.
"By the way, when you shook me just now, did you feel any problems like my body temperature dropping?" Lin Yi suddenly asked.
"No." Li Huiyuan shook her head.
Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease.
But Li Huiyuan's expression was a little unnatural. After hesitating for a while, she said the two words that Lin Yi didn't want to hear: "But..."
"But what?" Lin Yi's heart was pounding like a train.
"But when I shook you, I seemed to see smoke coming out of your body..." Li Huiyuan blinked.
"..." Lin Yi pursed his lips slightly, "Is there any color?"
"It's white overall, and it seems to be mixed with a little green..."
"Smoke? You mean fog?"
"Ah? Oh, yes, yes, it's fog. Hey, Lin, why don't you find it strange?"
Lin Yi sighed quietly: "Hey, I'm used to it. What's the feeling?"
Li Huiyuan thought about it seriously, then shook her head slightly: "It seems to be gone."
"Huh..." Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was good that there was nothing wrong.
"So this means that all the changes that just happened are within the range of my normal 'symptoms'. As for the mist coming out... it's worth paying attention to."
Although, considering the depth of his pollution, some fog was normal, he didn't seem to have this problem before.
He continued to rest, and the two of them fell silent.
Lin Yi remained squatting and leaned against the pillar. He raised his head and let the back of his head rest on the surface of the pillar, slowly recovering his brain power.
Suddenly he frowned and narrowed his eyes.
In a dark corner on the ceiling, he seemed to see a black shadow moving...
"Nocturnal creature?" He was stunned, then immediately reached out and rubbed his eyes, trying to cover up this fact by pretending to rub his eyes before the nocturnal creature noticed that he was looking at it.
But he obviously failed.
The nocturnal creature was sticking to the corner of the wall like a pool of rotten meat. Then, in the distorted lines that were beginning to take on the outline of a human face, a large bloodshot eye was seen.
This big eyeball was rolling around, and it had been staring at Lin Yi before Lin Yi noticed it!
"grass!"
Lin Yi cursed in his heart, OK, OK, you are starting to spy on me unscrupulously, right?
Okay, okay, since you want to play like this, don’t blame me for flipping the table!
Mirror here!
"Li Huiyuan, lend me the mirror." He stood up slowly, with a ravine in his chest. He stretched out his hand to Li Huiyuan, feeling like a teacher raising his hand to borrow a sword and then whispering the sword.
Li Huiyuan quickly fumbled inside her pleated skirt, then took out the mirror and handed it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi took the mirror and came under the sun. After opening the lid, he adjusted the angle with one hand. A ray of sunlight immediately penetrated into the dark corner like a sharp blade and struck the big eyeball fiercely!
【ah--】
Lin Yi seemed to hear a scream, and then the big eyeball gurgled and fell from the nocturnal creature's body, giving people the feeling of a lizard cutting off its tail to survive.
After the big eyeball fell to the ground, it first "smacked" into an exploding pancake, then "sizzled" with white mist in the sunlight, and soon hardened into a plaster-like substance.
Li Huiyuan was shocked when she saw this scene, but Lin Yi looked calm and continued to shine the light on the nocturnal species hiding in the corner.
He hasn't figured out why the nocturnal creature has targeted him yet, but since the other party has targeted him, it's a fight to the death. If he doesn't take the initiative in broad daylight, when night comes and this thing turns into a non-human state and attacks the enemy with the void, he will be in real danger.
[Let me go…let me go——]
The nocturnal creature's body kept squirming, as if it had lost some kind of pulse frequency fluctuation, and its sticky state became more and more unstable.
Lin Yi heard its voice but turned a deaf ear to it and continued to cruelly roast its body with sunlight, causing it to sizzle and emit white mist, like a piece of beef belly that was becoming increasingly cooked on a baking tray.
「Ah——ah——」
The nocturnal creature roared in pain, but as its body hardened, it gradually lost the ability to stick to the corner of the ceiling and began to fall like plasticine under the influence of gravity, then separated from the ceiling bit by bit, and finally turned into a large piece of solid-liquid mixture, which fell down with a "thump".
The corridor was filled with sunlight, so when it fell, Lin Yi put away the mirror and watched it change in the sun with cold eyes.
