Chapter 181 Kuai Hongji’s Warning
Chapter 181 Kuai Hongji’s Warning (1000 words more!)
“Just like the ‘qi’ in metaphysics and the ‘wave’ in science, complex concepts must be defined artificially so that people can force their existence… Just like rules, we follow them, we understand them, we overwrite the relevant cognition little by little, and then gradually accept this world that is very different from ‘reality’.”
"No, who says that what we know at the beginning is "reality"? Just like in "The Matrix", maybe the world outside the campus is the Garden of Eden, and the campus is the way to contact "reality"? "
"Could it be that the world we rewrite bit by bit is the real world?"
"We've gone off topic." Tian Bufan shook his head slightly and returned to the main topic.
"This kind of conceptual thing... is in my exploration plan, but my cognitive field is not enough to support me to face "Him" directly."
"We cannot face things that are beyond our cognition, and students cannot try to solve a problem full of advanced formulas... We don't know what the symbols of advanced formulas mean, so we are not even qualified to read the questions. When we encounter such things, the best choice is not to touch the questions."
"This is not a required question, so you can come back later and try to read the question with more knowledge."
Lin Yi nodded.
"By the way, did you see Zhou Yuting when you went to the cafeteria?" The matter of the paper and Song Rentou came to an end for the time being, and Lin Yi began to bring the topic back to what happened today, "It was the girl in front of the cafeteria."
Lin Yi briefly introduced what he knew about Zhou Yuting.
"By the way, when I left the teaching building, I saw her licking paint on a lamppost in the cafeteria. She didn't look like a human anymore. She might have been taken over by a human-shaped sculpture."
Tian Bufan said: "I also saw her when I went to dinner. Her behavior was very eye-catching. She sat slumped at the entrance of another passage, shaking and crying. It was hard not to notice her."
"But when I left, she was gone."
"I saw her when I left." Kuai Hongji's voice came from the bed, attracting Lin Yi's attention. "At that time, I saw her staggering to her feet, as if she had been summoned by something, leaving the road and diving into the green forest belt."
"From what Lao Lin said, her identity should have been taken away by the human-shaped sculpture."
Lin Yi sighed: "Her condition is extremely unstable and her emotions have collapsed. She is completely different from Li Huiyuan. There is no hope for her."
"Don't even mention that there's no way he can be saved. Even if he can be saved, it shouldn't be us who should do it." Kuai Hongji said coldly, "He's willing to sacrifice himself for a stranger. There's no way such an idiot will leave the campus alive."
"You seem to be implying that I'm helping Li Huiyuan." Lin Yi frowned.
Kuai Hongji said coldly: "You have helped too much. Cannon fodder should be cannon fodder. A chess piece can only be a good move if it takes a key step at a critical moment. If I can sell soldiers for cannons, then I will definitely take that step."
"I thought so too," Lin Yi corrected, "but I haven't encountered a situation where I need to use Li Huiyuan as cannon fodder."
"No, you are quibbling." Kuai Hongji shook his head slightly, "You are soft-hearted. You may not be able to do it when the time comes. It's only the third day, and there are still four days, Lao Lin... If I were you, in order to test the boundaries of the rules, I would definitely sacrifice her without hesitation, for example, to obtain more information in the store."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, his tone slightly serious: "I haven't told you about Li Huiyuan yet, how do you know all this?"
"Need I explain this?" Kuai Hongji sneered, "You didn't flee when the lights flashed in the cafeteria. If you wanted to leave, you must have gone through the canteen. And a person without a student ID in the canteen is a perfect scapegoat. I would not let him go."
"You...your idea is too dangerous!" Lin Yi was shocked by Kuai Hongji's idea, but he suddenly realized that perhaps it was Kuai Hongji's way of thinking that allowed him to stand from the perspective of the sinister human heart and piece together the information left on the paper left by Song Rentou into a story that was closest to the truth.
"Danger?" Kuai Hongji sneered, "Compared to the unknown dangers on campus, all my other dangers are not worth mentioning."
“If our pollution collectively increases and the situation continues to get worse, what are you going to do?”
"Use 'kindness' to influence pollution?"
“Do those people in the West believe in God because God is merciful?”
"Of course not, but they know that God can easily destroy a world and then use his so-called 'mercy' to give every species in the world a chance to survive."
"If only one pair of all species in the world can survive, what do you think the remaining species that are 'destined' to die will do?"
"On Noah's Ark, people prayed for God's mercy, but God caused a devastating flood that flooded the entire world. Do you think those who were drowned by God would be grateful for his mercy?"
"Oh, bloody mercy."
"If you don't have the ability, don't be a Bodhisattva. If you want to be a Bodhisattva, then be Namo Gatling Bodhisattva." Kuai Hongji sneered.
Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, whose six senses are as pure as depleted uranium bombs, who spin three thousand six hundred times in one breath, and who saves the world with great compassion.
After saying that, Kuai Hongji stopped there, like a cold-blooded swordsman. He could have killed him directly but he stuck his sword into him an inch away from his heart, then pulled out the sword and walked away in a dashing manner.
Lin Yi was silenced, but he also understood that Tian Bufan pulled Kuai Hongji over to discuss the paper thrown by Song Ren just to give him a warning - to distinguish the boundaries, pure kindness will only hurt others and oneself, armed kindness is the real kindness.
How big the truth is depends on how big your fist is.
Indeed, he still has the ability to force Li Huiyuan to escape from the canteen, but what if it becomes more dangerous?
If it was more dangerous, he would use Li Huiyuan as cannon fodder.
But will he really?
He... couldn't bear it, and if he didn't bear it, not only would he not be able to change Li Huiyuan's predicament, but he would also be implicated.
In times of disaster, those who show kindness to others will have their kindness backfire on them.
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat tense, Tian Bufan took over the conversation and broke the silence: "Let's talk about Li Huiyuan. How did she end up?"
Lin Yi sorted out his thoughts and said concisely: "Li Huiyuan's student ID was eaten by a chef in a green bib. The head teacher asked her to find the location of the canteen during dinner and buy student commemorative coins."
"We found the location of the canteen without any trouble and entered it, but there were no student commemorative coins in the canteen. All the boxes for student commemorative coins were empty, as if someone had robbed all the student commemorative coins that could be purchased."
Lin Yi planned to discuss the canteen separately with Tian Bufan, so when he talked about Li Huiyuan's story, he first used the narrative method of subtle clues to mention the canteen.
"Later, the head teacher took Li Huiyuan away. She didn't have a student ID card or student commemorative coins, so she definitely wouldn't go back to the dormitory. But I don't know what plans the head teacher has for her, and I don't know if I can see her tomorrow."
"If I could see her tomorrow, it would answer a lot of questions."
"Before that, I took her to explore the teaching building. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we only looked at the elevator and stairwell of the teaching building, and then walked back and forth to Building C via the corridor bridge."
After listening to this, Tian Bufan said, "I also explored the teaching building today and made quite a few discoveries. I'll tell you in detail after I finish talking about Li Huiyuan." "Okay." Lin Yi nodded.
Tian Bufan said, "After listening to your description, I don't think you handled anything inappropriately except for the incident at the canteen. If it were me, I would have really left her alone."
Tian Bufan did not show any shame when he said this, his tone was as calm as if he was a gamer who directly sold out a stranger teammate who was attacked in a team fight in order to fight against a buff monster.
But Lin Yi knew that reality was not a game, and one could not be resurrected at the fountain after death. However, he did not force an explanation. Kuai Hongji had already made it very clear that you, a jungler, had survived the first wave of invasion from the opposite side, saved your life, and defended the jungle area. You had developed a little, and when you saw your teammate being attacked, you thought you could go up, and try to find a way to pick up your teammate first so that she would not be killed.
But from the perspective of profit, the "cost-effectiveness" may be better than selling this teammate who is unlikely to be rescued, to trick the opponent into using skills, so that you can obtain more enemy intelligence through her sacrifice, and even have the opportunity to steal a wave of enemy jungle resources.
"As for Li Huiyuan's matter, it's your choice what you do. Although I don't agree with your strong desire to save people, you handled it correctly in other aspects, especially using her to test the fluctuations of the layer and comparing it with what you experienced."
"Besides, the incident has already passed. Looking back from the perspective of hindsight, the situation is not bad at all. On the contrary, it has improved. We have discovered some new avenues by accident."
"But good advice hurts. Kuai Kuai's words are a bit harsh, but don't forget that you just got out of the rainstorm. The umbrella is not big enough, so just hold it up for yourself. Don't think about holding it up for others."
"You have to remember that we are a team and we have more important things to do now."
Lin Yi nodded slightly: "I understand... I will do what I can next time."
"I think it's better to be prudent and protect yourself." Kuai Hongji said faintly, "Have you noticed that the situation on campus doesn't seem to be stable, especially the frequency of abnormal weather seems to be getting higher and higher..."
"I feel like there's a powerful source of pollution approaching, like a comet that passes by the Earth once every few years, or a solar storm that only happens once every few years..."
"For you, self-protection is more important than anything else."
"Then...what about you guys?" Lin Yi asked doubtfully.
Kuai Hongji said bluntly: "Our means of self-protection are better than yours. Just take care of yourself and try to delay any problems for yourself."
Lin Yi curled his lips speechlessly, Kuai Hongji's words were poisonous and even had a strong sense of self-interest, and such words often hit the nail on the head and penetrated deeper, making people feel very deeply.
Profound in the physical sense.
Tian Bufan said at this time: "Putting aside Lao Lin's behavior and simply analyzing Li Huiyuan's case, we can vaguely infer two paths."
"After the experience students enter the school, they usually leave after seven days without any problems."
"If the student ID card is accidentally lost, you need to report the situation to the class teacher and go to the canteen to buy student commemorative coins. After obtaining the student commemorative coins, a transformation path should be opened, perhaps to become an art student."
"If you don't get the student commemorative coins, then there will be other arrangements... I guess they will be transformed into sports students through some means, because we know from the gymnasium rules that sports students don't have student ID cards."
"But we don't know what these two 'transformation pathways' will go through, and whether they are simple or complex."
"However, if Li Huiyuan becomes a sports student, then you will have a chance to meet her. When you meet her, you can find a way to get some information. Not to mention the sports student's secrets, you should also find out most of the information you have about her."
"In Wei Liang's words, it means stripping naked."
Wei Liang jumped up from the bed immediately: "Damn it! I was sleeping soundly here, and I got shot while lying here?"
"Sorry, I thought you were asleep." Tian Bufan was calm, without any apology on his face.
"I just sleepwalked for a bit." Wei Liang laughed and fell asleep, and the snoring sound immediately started again.
"..."
Tian Bufan asked again: "Did you make any new discoveries during your exploration of the teaching building?"
"I seem to have seen Building D," Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure, but I'm sure I saw a covered bridge leading to Building D."
"Speaking of which, it may be due to the worsening pollution that I have some strange symptoms. To put it simply, I always see some special images when I subconsciously sense danger..."
He described to Tian Bufan the scene where his vision turned into a black and white exposed photo, and then he could see green mist representing the smell of pollution.
"This ability of vision was particularly strong during the crisis at my store. I seemed to see some of the things that happened to Maozi... I don't know if it happened in different layers at the same time, or in the same layer at different times, or in different layers at different times..."
"It's very real, just like...the eyes of fire and the golden pupils."
Tian Bufan did not laugh, but was silent for a while, then said: "From your description, your vision should not be stable enough. At present, I have two guesses..."
"One possibility is that the pollution has had some impact on your body, causing you to gain or awaken this ability to see. From your current usage, other than making your layers unstable, there are no other adverse effects. It can even serve as a certain warning effect, so the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. However, we need to observe the specifics further."
"The other is that your body can receive signals from some special 'bands'. For example, the activities of many animals are affected by the tides of the Earth and the Moon, while the daily routines of humans are less affected by the tides... In other words, there is a kind of existence that continuously releases pollution in the campus or a certain layer of the campus."
"This polluted force field may ripple out like a tide, and when this wave passes through your body, you will have that kind of vision."
"In this inference, your vision is not controlled by you, but by the other party. However, the strength of your vision is still affected by the depth of your own pollution... I hope you are the first type, and I don't want you to become a human version of Dragon Ball Radar."
Lin Yi sighed helplessly: "I would rather hope that this is a mutation caused by pollution... But thanks to this vision, I saw the teaching building D. It is on the extension of Building C and can be reached through the corridor bridge hidden in the layer."
"Building D looks very similar to the art building I saw in my dream, but it also seems a little different. They are like two different buildings, but both are more like European, especially Nordic, towering castles."
Tian Bufan nodded slightly: "It seems that Teaching Building D is somehow connected to the Art Building... However, there are still not enough clues. We can only determine the location of Teaching Building D."
"Oh, it suddenly occurred to me that when I returned to the teaching building yesterday, I seemed to see a security guard carrying a lamp and leading a group of people towards Building D through the corridor bridge... But the fog was too thick, I could only determine that the person carrying the lamp was the security guard, and I couldn't tell who was following him. I don't know if it was the chef delivering the food, because the timing was quite delicate."
"Are you sure that was the security guard?" Tian Bufan asked, "Through your extremely realistic dream, we roughly know that the person holding the lamp is not only the security guard, but also the dormitory manager."
Lin Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Yeah, how could I forget about this!
It was just that the first impression of the dormitory manager gave him was a yellow-haired man with a frightened face, which was very different from the image of a security guard, so Lin Yi subconsciously omitted the dormitory manager.
But now thinking back carefully, although the dormitory manager looked like a weakling who couldn't even lift a finger, what he was holding in his hand was a genuine old kerosene lamp!
The same old kerosene lamp as the one used by Baoan Dadi!!!
Moreover, in that extremely real dream, the dormitory manager took Mao Feiyang to check the dormitories one by one, and only left after he had finished checking all the dormitories!
In other words... the seemingly thin dormitory manager, after the lights in the dormitory corridors and dormitories are turned off, still enjoys an absolutely domineering deterrent power in the layer he is in!
