Chapter 158: Another Piece of the Puzzle on the Evening of May 5
Suddenly, a trembling "boom" sounded in his mind, and his vision suddenly shattered. A picture emerged in his mind like a simulation -
The scene in the picture is a dim tiered classroom. A mist is spreading on the thick explosion-proof glass of the classroom. Raindrops keep hitting the windows. The damp and cold air seems to be able to penetrate into the classroom.
This is May 023, X5. After the flash is extinguished, Class 6 of Group B...
Normal scenes emerged in Lin Yi's mind, and then he saw, as if from a God's perspective, those inhuman classmates with crazy and devilish expressions, pulling themselves out of the posture of being deeply sunken in their seats like drawing a knife, and then moving slowly in the classroom with stiff steps.
In such a classroom, the little genius curled up under the desk, took out a flashlight from his body, turned on the beam and began to observe such a classroom.
After a while - or perhaps very quickly, the door of the classroom was opened by the conceptual sculpture, and green mist carrying a strong smell of pollution poured into the classroom.
The inhuman classmates who absorbed the green mist began to turn into human-shaped sculptures. The little genius who witnessed this scene had his cognition collapsed on the spot, and his pupils became dilated...
Then the green mist penetrated into the body of the little genius, and the human-shaped sculptures seemed to have smelled delicious food, and rushed to the little genius and pulled him out from under the desk...
What followed was a bloody and cruel scene. The little genius was turned beyond recognition by the human-shaped sculptures, and his limbs were probably also badly mutilated.
When the little genius's flashlight fell to the ground and was kicked invisibly by the human-shaped sculpture, some students who were not paying enough attention were attracted by the light of the flashlight and saw a scene that caused their cognition to collapse. So this moment became that the little genius fired a shot with the death language, and after the bullet flew for a while, it randomly took away some lucky audience members.
God·AOE·Guan Yu.
However, when the image in Lin Yi's mind reached this scene, it did not stop. Time passed quickly, skipping the scene where the security guard took the concept level away, and the time came to the moment when the lights were about to be turned on again.
Several human-shaped sculptures dragged the body of the little genius out of the classroom, down the stairs, and into the green belt.
The body of the little genius was left exposed in the wilderness, but its corpse was still continuously absorbing the green mist. When the day came, the body of the little genius that had absorbed the green mist gradually turned into a white plaster sculpture under the sunlight.
Because it suffered inhuman torture before its death, the sculpture still retains that hideous, abstract appearance.
The picture gradually began to freeze at this point, and the perspective of the picture in Lin Yi's mind began to move slowly. Finally, when the picture was completely still, the "lens" turned to the teaching building and froze on the morning of May 5 when "himself" looked up and looked out the window, and then discovered the little genius.
Time seemed to have reached a kind of closed loop in the cycle, and this time there were obviously more details, which to some extent filled the gap of that night.
Lin Yi found it somewhat unbelievable. This picture was actually a kind of "dynamic puzzle" formed by piecing together his current conjecture, the noise he heard that night, the dream from Tian Bufan's perspective, and the picture he saw from Pan Jian's digital camera. However, it was so real that he thought that this might be the truth.
As he was thinking and trying to come back to his senses, he realized that the ground at his feet was covered with frost at some point. The coldness that he had not noticed earlier, as soon as he realized it, flooded over him like a broken dam.
The extreme cold instantly enveloped him, as if a snowstorm had hit S City University in the darkness.
He suddenly discovered that the lights in the corridor were out. No, it was not the lights that were out, but... there were no lights in the corridor at all!
There was no Li Huiyuan beside him, and there was no door to the teachers' office beside him.
“When did the layer drop?!”
A strong sense of uneasiness surged in Lin Yi's heart. He found himself in a corridor that was unlit but not dark. The corridor was like a tunnel full of holes in the wind and snow. The cold wind blew the snowflakes around in the tunnel. The ground under his feet and the surrounding walls were already covered with frost.
Even the ceiling above was covered with icy spikes.
At the same time, the fierce cold wind swirled in the corridor, and began to make a bone-chilling "woooo" sound, as if a chainsaw maniac was madly chopping granite. In the audio that did not belong to a human voice, Lin Yi keenly caught a hint of a strange tone...
"Rustle... rustle..."
This kind of sound, which seems to be made by putting a tuner in a pipe and pulling it closer and farther away, is like a person hanging on a rope shouting at you. The sound is sometimes far away and sometimes near, with a hint of echo, chaotic and noisy. Lin Yi doesn't want to hear it but can hear it, and he wants to hear it but can't hear it clearly, and he is suffering in his heart.
Suddenly, a figure slowly emerged from the depths of the dark corridor...
The figure walked out of the dim shadows and gradually revealed his appearance...
The moment he saw the other person's face, Lin Yi's scalp felt numb and tingling as if it was torn off, and a chill swirled around him, and he could no longer tell whether it came from the corridor or from the bottom of his heart.
Just because the person who walked out of the shadows was actually... a little genius.
Lin Yi really wanted to say, "Aren't you on the way to the beach? Even if you're stuck in a maze, you should go to the gymnasium. Why did you come back here?"
If there is background music at this time, then it must be fate that brought us together light years away...
"Don't panic, don't panic..." Lin Yi took a deep breath and reached into his pocket. He felt that his mind was still clear and he knew that there were still some basic operations that he hadn't used, so he reached out and grabbed the student ID in his pocket...
"Um?!"
"Wait... Student ID?!"
He touched a round card, the material of which was very similar to that of a student ID card, but... it was round!
Student ID cards are definitely not round, so this is...
He pulled his hand out suddenly, revealing a round coin in his hand, on which was engraved the image of the World Tree surrounded by thorny vines.
"Student commemorative coins...?!"
"Fuck me!"
His eyes flashed and he found that his hand was indeed not his own hand, but Mao Feiyang's dark and thin hand.
He held the edge of the student commemorative coin with his thumb and turned it over. He saw that the front of the student commemorative coin was indeed written with "月-X02305070323".
"月-X02305070323" is Mao Feiyang's art student number.
"Another visual misalignment jumps to Maozi's perspective! So at some point, Maozi encountered the little genius here?"
"Is it now, or...?"
Lin Yi looked at the little genius who walked out of the darkness step by step, and his heart suddenly tightened. The little genius in front of him had his neck tilted, his head on his neck shaking, and his body twisted as if he had a congenital deformity, but his eyes were staring straight at "Lin Yi".
In the shadow behind it, the fog was advancing like a snake tide, accompanied by a chaotic and noisy response. The "rustling" sound of friction on the floor continued to increase, giving people a strong feeling of absurdity and cult.
The little genius stretched out his hand towards him, and a pair of illusory golden eyes seemed to appear behind it, as if some indescribable existence was looking down at the humble ant...
The biting cold wind wrapped around swirling snowflakes constantly washed through the dark corridors. The whispers of pain that did not belong to humans mixed with the strange rhythm of "rustling" and "shasha". All the sounds canceled and merged in a certain band, and finally became one sentence -
【I’ve been waiting for someone to come to me…】Lin Yiru felt like he was in an ice cellar. His limbs suddenly turned cold and his skin gradually turned blue-gray.
"Oh no, I'm sinking?!"
"Pollution is enveloping my body through visions!"
"It's just a perspective change, why is this happening?"
The last time we switched to sketching Mao Feiyang’s perspective, the situation was not like this.
Lin Yi's heart was shocked, and he suddenly understood the reason - time!
The last time the perspective switched was around 13:30 p.m., and although there were some clouds in the sky it was still broad daylight, but now... it's fucking abnormal weather!
He would not absorb pollution from Mao Feiyang's perspective, but... he was still in the corridor!
Although the fog dissipated immediately after it penetrated, there would still be some residue left. Maybe it could even absorb the remaining pollution, like... a human vacuum cleaner?
"I'm really fucking convinced."
Looking at the student commemorative coins in his hand, Lin Yi's eyes showed some struggle.
He looked at the little genius who was gradually approaching him and his own body which was getting colder and colder, and his struggle gradually became firmer.
"There's nothing we can do. We can only try our best to save the situation!"
He stuffed the student commemorative coins back into his pocket, then loosened his hand, took a deep breath, focused his attention on the wall at hand, and then kept chanting in his mind like a mantra:
"My name is Lin Yi, my student number is X0230506098, my student ID is in my pocket, and I'm in the corridor of Building B of the teaching building right now. I'm with Li Huiyuan, and the teacher's office is right next to me..."
"My name is Lin Yi, my student number is X0230506098, I..."
He kept chanting, and as he chanted, the vision in front of his eyes suddenly began to change into a skipping and flickering picture as if controlled by someone else. The wall next to him also kept jumping back and forth between being dark and being a normal wall illuminated by incandescent light.
Lin Yi was delighted and shouted that it worked.
"My name is Lin Yi, my student number is X0230506098, my student ID is in my pocket, and I'm in the corridor of Building B of the teaching building right now. I'm with Li Huiyuan, and the teacher's office is right next to me..."
He continued to recite, and the little genius not far away was still approaching quickly. The jumping and switching of his vision gradually became slower, and the corridor that remained in his vision for a long time began to be illuminated by the incandescent light.
"My name is Lin Yi... My student ID is in my pocket..."
"Right! Here!"
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a thin rectangular card that felt very familiar.
Student ID card!
He slowly pulled out his student ID from his pocket, glanced diagonally downward, and saw the words "098"...
"It's a student ID card!"
"call……"
He put his student ID back and let out a long breath, as if he wanted to expel all the foul air that had been accumulated in his chest.
He looked at the wall and found that it had returned to normal, and the incandescent lights around it were still on.
He glanced in the direction where the little genius had been before, and found that he had disappeared long ago.
On the other side, Li Huiyuan had just finished reporting the situation to her homeroom teacher-040, and she seemed to have suddenly not noticed that Lin Yi had been "wandering away".
"…That's it. We escaped before the fog engulfed the store."
After listening to Li Huiyuan's report, the teacher's office fell into a long silence, with only wisps of dissipating mist reminding them of the passage of time.
"I understand." Finally, the voice of the homeroom teacher-040 sounded behind the door, "You go back to the classroom first, I'll take care of some things, and I'll come to the classroom to take you away later."
"Take me away?" Li Huiyuan was stunned for a moment, thinking of the student rules, "Where are you taking me? To see the school doctor?"
Homeroom Teacher-040 said: "You will know by then...soon."
Li Huiyuan lowered her head to look at the crack in the door, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Homeroom Teacher-040 did not say anything else, but closed the peephole with a click.
Li Huiyuan gave Lin Yi a questioning look.
"Let's go back to the classroom first." From just now, Lin Yi was shrouded in an ominous premonition. This ominous feeling did not come from Li Huiyuan, but had accumulated little by little since he entered the cafeteria for dinner. Until just now, he had already felt a sense of oppression as if the sky was about to collapse.
He was a little worried that he would be trapped in the teaching building due to the fog tonight.
After understanding some of the mechanisms of the nocturnal species, non-human students, and humanoid sculptures, he was certainly confident that he could deal with them. However, how many more powerful and heavy pollutants were behind them?
Especially those conceptual sculptures that seem to be made up of countless broken glass fragments. Even sports students will feel threatened by them. Once they enter the classroom and the smell of pollution finds him, what should he do?
Class 2 of Group B was not even allowed to stay after 21:00!
Who should he turn to for help?
How should he escape?
In the face of the absolute gap in strength, even running away becomes a pitiful joke.
Lin Yi gathered his thoughts and supported Li Huiyuan as they walked towards Group B Class 2. He noticed that neither Li Huiyuan nor the homeroom teacher -040 seemed to have noticed his abnormality.
In the scene just now, although the process was full of dangers, at least there was no major problem with the ending. And regarding the inhuman classmates, he seemed to have added a part of the logical chain!
The two of them quickly arrived in front of Class 2, Group B, and Lin Yi first looked down at the time.
18: 29.
Then he confirmed that there was no problem with the classroom number and pushed open the door.
When he pushed open the door and entered the classroom, the familiar warmth slowly enveloped Lin Yi again, as if it was a holy light with a purifying effect that dispelled the coldness in his body, but he soon had a feeling that something was not right.
