Chapter 166: The Inhuman Classmate Who Waits for the Rabbit
Chapter 166: The Inhuman Classmate Who Waits for the Rabbit
[I’m starving! I’m starving!]
【We need food! 】
【We need people of the same kind! 】
[No, we all need it!!]
The fog rolled and the restless sound was endless, as if it was blending with the wind and sand, making a non-stop "rustling" sound.
"Stop making noise!" Nie Yun's "non-human classmate" made a dry voice, and no extra tone could be heard in the mechanical tone. "The invasion has just begun, and there will be more people passing by here."
"There are so many opportunities, don't rush!"
"Wait, then……"
Nie Yun ("non-human classmate") and Ge Qing ("non-human classmate") were facing the lamppost, without any intention of moving. If it weren't for the mist still floating, it would be as if time had stopped.
In fact, Nie Yun's experience was somewhat similar to what Lin Yi had deduced, but the details were quite different...
Suddenly, the somewhat excited voices of the humanoid sculptures came from the surging mist:
【Here they come! Someone is coming! 】
【It's my turn this time! 】
[No, it should be my turn! ]
"Idiots, shut up!" Nie Yun's "inhuman classmate" shouted, "You are too noisy!"
The fog immediately returned to calm.
In the fog not far away, an experiencer was walking through the area with thin fog with a look of fear. After seeing "Lamp Pole-067", he became very excited and rushed over in two steps.
He entered the light range of "Lamp Pole-067" panting, and then found two people standing in front of him.
He was stunned for a moment, thinking about the eerie foggy environment he had encountered all the way here, and then thinking that it was safe under the light of the street lamp, so he mustered up his courage and couldn't help asking: "Classmate...what are you doing here? Why don't you keep going forward?"
He thought of what the homeroom teacher-040 had told him before leaving the classroom:
[During this process, you will definitely encounter various interferences, including but not limited to the "seeing a street lamp pole with the lights off" mentioned in the rules, etc. There are some interferences that I can't even tell you, but please remember that your safety is in your own hands. Don't worry about any interference from the outside world. The only people you can trust are the security guards, street lamps, and yourself! ]
He then wondered if the two people in front of him had discovered some problem or encountered some interference, so they hesitated here, and out of caution, he decided to try to ask.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the classmate in front of him say in a dry voice: "Classmate, we have encountered some difficulties... We would like to ask you for help..."
As they talked, the two men turned slowly, stiffly like puppets standing on the stands, and finally met his eyes.
"Help us... die!!!"
Nie Yun's "inhuman classmate" had a ferocious look on his face, and his entire face was covered with cracks as his ferocious and exaggerated expression progressed. He approached step by step like an underpowered robot with stiff steps, and the former classmate had already lost his soul and was so frightened that he stood still, his legs trembling but he couldn't move...
"You...you you you...you are the ones who are interfering...you are the ones who are..."
He guessed a lot and had a premonition of some things, but he subconsciously forgot one thing. The homeroom teacher-040 also said that he could only trust himself and the people with whom he had a life-and-death friendship, and the two "people" in front... did not encounter any interference.
They are distractions in themselves.
He realized this before he died, but it was too late.
Fear spread before his eyes like a tide, his voice trembling and he couldn't utter a complete sentence. He only saw Nie Yun's "inhuman classmate" crossing the distance and then pushing him out of the range covered by the light.
"puff……"
He staggered and fell into the mist, splashing like a stone into a lake.
【mine!】
[No, it’s mine——]
The fog rolled, and the human-shaped sculptures swarmed in like zombies. The only sound in the fog was the miserable and terrified cry of the classmate.
"Stay away! Someone is coming!" Nie Yun's "non-human classmate" seemed to sense something, glanced at the lamppost in the distance, and quickly shouted.
“Rustle… rustle…”
The human-shaped sculpture under the mist quickly dragged the body of the classmate back into the depths of darkness.
Ge Qing "the non-human classmate" glanced in that direction and then looked away.
The two inhuman students slowly moved their bodies back to their original positions, and then faced the lamppost again as if facing the wall, like sculptures.
……
"Liangzi, did you hear any screams just now?"
Lin Yi, who had just left the "Teaching Building-070" lamppost, looked at the street lamp that was a little far away in front of him and looked at Wei Liang in confusion.
Wei Liang shivered and said in fear, "Damn it, Lao Lin, you are not hallucinating, don't scare me for no reason!"
"Emm..." Lin Yi was silent for a moment, and became a little alert.
"Hey, there's someone under the lamppost ahead!" Wei Liang exclaimed.
"Something's wrong. It doesn't look like a human." Lin Yi shook his head slightly.
"Fuck you, you..." Wei Liang felt a chill and goosebumps appeared all over his body. "Can you say something auspicious in the middle of the night? The street lights are on!"
"The classroom is still safe in theory. Didn't our homeroom teacher let us out?" Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "A lit street lamp is safe, but the things under the lamppost may not be safe..."
Wei Liang was shocked: "You...what do you mean?"
"Non-human classmates." Lin Yi paused, "Non-human classmates are in the same classroom with us. When the lights are on, they will not do anything, but when the lights go out, they will become the biggest threat."
He pointed toward the street light.
"And they give me a feeling very similar to those inhuman classmates in the classroom."
Wei Liang hissed, "Damn, are you worried that they'll chase you out?"
Lin Yi nodded slightly: "I have some such concerns, but the non-human students did not show any aggression when the lights were on in the classroom. I don't know what will happen if they leave the classroom."
"But the two in front are obviously waiting for someone..." Wei Liang hesitated, "What should we do? We can't take a detour, right?" "Even if we take a detour, where can we go?" Lin Yi patted Wei Liang's hand, "I have a way, maybe we can try. Besides, even if it doesn't work, I believe you have some tricks."
Wei Liang: “Huh???”
Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang and said nothing.
This guy Wei Liang...he kept saying that he only listened to the information he was supposed to hear, but in the end he covered his ears and listened to everything.
Lin Yi couldn't imagine how Wei Liang managed to overwrite his understanding of S City University while pretending to know nothing and completely rationalize all the strange phenomena that had occurred from a "Muggle" perspective.
The two chatted casually, and not long after Lin Yi told Wei Liang his initial ideas, the two crossed the area where the street lights were connected and came to the lighting range of the "Teaching Building-067" street lamp pole.
Just as Lin Yi approached the lamppost of "Teaching Building-067", a rapidly skipping picture suddenly appeared in his eyes. In this frame-skipping vision, he suddenly saw a faint shadow floating around Nie Yun "the non-human classmate" and Ge Qing "the non-human classmate".
In the double image were two soft, human-like plaster-like substances that were wriggling and twisting. From a distance, it looked like a bucket of white paste was poured on a human-shaped wooden support, and then the paste slowly flowed down to form what Lin Yi saw.
At the same time, he seemed to hear the other party mumbling something. One person seemed to be saying [I am Nie Yun, my student number is...], and the other person seemed to be saying [I am Ge Qing, my student number is...]
This frame-skipping vision lasted for a few breaths before returning to normal, but Lin Yi was already able to confirm their identities.
"As expected, they are non-human classmates, and... they seem to be anchoring their identities?"
Lin Yi instantly thought of the scene he had deduced in the classroom, and his heart skipped a beat: "Were Ge Qing and Nie Yun killed and replaced by them?"
Although there are discrepancies in the details, this is the fact.
"So... they stayed here to kill more people?"
Lin Yi realized the problem and found that the area around "Teaching Building 067" was terribly quiet. The "rustling" sound of being followed that he could hear all the way had also disappeared completely.
"When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on."
Lin Yi felt that this hurdle was going to be difficult, but after thinking it over, he finally found a way in.
He then whispered: "Liangzi, I have a plan..."
"What the hell... No, godfather, if you have any good ideas, why don't you tell them to Liang'er as soon as possible?" Wei Liang said with a shameless face.
Lin Yi: “…”
Lin Yi then leaned over and whispered the countermeasure, Wei Liang's eyes lit up and he exclaimed "Oh my god!"
"Stop it, Liangzi. Use your years of experience to analyze my strategy. What do you think of it?"
Wei Liang said frankly: "Old Lin, you are such a mean and mean person!"
After receiving such high praise from Wei Liang, Lin Yi felt relieved and began to approach the lamppost. Suddenly, he was stunned...
Because his vision was blocked by the figures of Nie Yun and Ge Qing, the "inhuman classmates", and he could clearly see the number on the lamppost - Teaching Building-067.
"Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned. He still remembered the "Teaching Building -070" lamppost he had just left. How come the lamppost he arrived at now was not "Teaching Building -069" but "Teaching Building -067"?
But he didn't have time to think about why the two lamp posts in the middle disappeared, and he had already arrived not far behind Nie Yun and his "inhuman classmate".
Lin Yi exchanged glances with Wei Liang, then lip-synced without making any sound: "Let's stay put for now and see if we can move on to the next one without interfering with each other..."
He hoped Wei Liang could understand his words from his lip movements.
Sure enough, Wei Liang nodded seriously.
"If it doesn't work, do it according to the plan immediately!" he said again.
Wei Liang still nodded seriously.
Lin Yi felt relieved, thinking that Wei Liang and I were indeed in tune with each other.
The two then walked to the front of "Teaching Building-067" and implemented "Plan A: Sneak Attack": ignoring the two inhuman classmates facing the wall, they chose to quietly bypass them and go directly to the next lamppost.
But this plan soon failed. Accompanied by a voice saying "Classmates, we have encountered some difficulties... We would like to ask for your help...", Ge Qing's "inhuman classmate" slowly moved in front of them with stiff steps.
And Nie Yun's "non-human classmate" also slowly moved behind Lin Yi and the others and surrounded them.
As two inhuman classmates double-teamed them, the sound of "rustling...rustling..." was heard again in the surrounding fog.
Lin Yi was not in a hurry. He looked at Ge Qing, the "non-human classmate" in front of him, and said thoughtfully: "Classmate Nie Yun, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Ge Qing, the "non-human classmate", had originally planned to slowly approach Lin Yi while he was off guard, and then repeat the same trick he had used on the previous intern, pushing Lin Yi into the group of hungry human sculptures.
But when it heard Lin Yi's words, it was slightly stunned, and a crack appeared in its self-awareness, so it quickly said: "No, I am Ge Qing, and it is Nie Yun."
Nie Yun "the non-human classmate" nodded and said, "Yes, I am Nie Yun, and he is Ge Qing."
Wei Liang and Lin Yi exchanged glances, then pouted and said with disdain: "Damn it, Ge Qing, you are not a jerk, are you? You don't even know who you are?"
"Yes, classmate Ge Qing, we can understand that you are under a lot of pressure, but forgetting who you are is very dangerous." Lin Yi also affirmed seriously, and at the same time looked at Ge Qing's "non-human classmate" and said, "Classmate Nie Yun, you two should take a good look at each other to see who the other person is?"
“Uh… ah?” Ge Qing, the “non-human classmate”, was originally transformed from a human sculpture. Although his mind was somewhat flexible, his knowledge of his identity all came from his student ID and the preconceived notion. Now, he was caught off guard by Lin Yi and Wei Liang, who sang the same tune. The two of them, who had been muttering “I am Ge Qing” and “I am Nie Yun”, became entangled together. For a moment, he was actually a little confused…
"Ah?" Nie Yun's "non-human classmate" was also stunned.
At this time, a rustling sound continued to be heard in the surrounding fog, and countless human-shaped sculptures shouted anxiously:
[Don't let them confuse you, you are Ge Qing! ]
[You are Nie Yun, he is Ge Qing! Don't mess things up! ]
[Wake up! You are Ge Qing! He is Nie Yun! ]
[You are Ge Qing...]
The human-shaped sculptures were talking to each other, some were talking to Ge Qing "the non-human classmate", while others were talking to Nie Yun "the non-human classmate". It seemed that they were all kind reminders, but precisely because the two non-human classmates were standing together, it was impossible to hear which sentence was addressed to whom.
Suddenly, the two inhuman sculptures became more and more confused and irritated as they listened.
Thanks to the book friend "usjdnshhs" for the reward!!
PS: I have acute gastroenteritis and a low fever today. I don’t know how I will be during the day tomorrow. The update on the 7th may be a little late. It depends on my condition tomorrow. Anyway, theoretically I can take two days off a month, and I will try not to take leave if possible.
