Chapter 182 Nocturnal species "super"? (Additional 1000 words!)
But the problem is——
"Why would the dormitory manager come to the teaching building?" Lin Yi asked.
"Your vision is too narrow, Lao Lin."
"?"
"Maozi can walk from the stairs of the teaching building to the dormitory building, so why can't the dormitory manager walk from the dormitory building to the teaching building?"
"Oh, that's right..." Lin Yi slapped his head, wondering how could he have forgotten this at the critical moment.
"But if he is the dormitory manager, then who are those people he brings with him...wait?!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something and slapped his thigh.
The covered bridge in Building D... From the perspective of its style, doesn't it look a bit like the old stone bridge between the castle and the watchtower in the Art Building?
And the dormitory manager... will take the students who are lost in the dormitory corridor to the art building by elevator.
Lin Yi still remembers the night when Mao Feiyang entered the school. After following the dormitory manager out of the elevator, he seemed to have walked for a while until he entered the art office and then opened his eyes.
Could it be that the dormitory elevator could reach the floor where the teaching building D is located, and then... through the corridor bridge of Building D to reach the Art Building? !
Nothing is impossible.
After the layer falls, the entire world can no longer be guessed by common sense at the spatial level. Who can guarantee that at a certain level of pollution depth, the space between the Art Building and Teaching Building D does not overlap?
Besides!
What does the Art Student Guidelines say about art students returning to the Art Building from the campus layer?
[You can also use the dormitory elevator to return to the castle, but you must do so between 0:00 and 6:00 and with the cooperation of the dormitory manager. ]
This, this, this... doesn't this make sense? !
But... there seems to be something wrong with this logical chain. In this flash of inspiration, there is always an indescribable sense of omission, as if something is not well considered or considered correctly.
Moreover, the appearance of the Art Building...is somewhat similar to that seen from Building C, but also completely different.
"Just keep your guess, Old Lin." Tian Bufan put an end to Lin Yi's guess. "I'm just giving you a direction to think about. I'm not saying that's my conclusion."
"There is a building D in the teaching building that looks like a castle. The people going to Building D could be the food delivery team led by the security guard, or they could be the art students who are waiting to enter the school and are led by the dormitory manager to the art building... Both of these conjectures are valid."
"Of course, the weirdest thing is that... according to the student code of conduct, the location of the Art Building is not fixed. So if the building that the D-building corridor bridge leads to is the Art Building... then the location of the Art Building is fixed, right?"
"Also, take a closer look. The time to use the dormitory elevator to return to the castle must be between 0:00 and 6:00, and it requires the cooperation of the dormitory manager. The time when Maozi in your dream met the dormitory manager was also during the time when the lights in the dormitory corridor were turned off."
Lin Yi thought deeply and said, "You are right..."
So after discussing it, the two of them still felt that it was more likely the security team delivering the food.
"Let's talk about something else." Tian Bufan ended the discussion about Teaching Building D, where there were very few clues.
"Okay, oh by the way, I recently discovered that I seem to have comprehended a very interesting but inexplicable 'deduction' ability." Lin Yi described his experience of entering the "My World" state when he fell through the layers, trying to express it in the best way he could.
"The most important point is that since I entered 'My World State' that time, my observation of many details of things seems to have risen to a higher level. I can also deduce the state of things at a certain moment in the future based on some dynamic factors, just like predicting the state of the lights going out in the cafeteria..."
"Am I…going to become a fucking superman?"
"Superman, the one that flips over to draw three cards, or the one that wears underwear outside?" Wei Liang's voice suddenly squeezed out from under the pillow like toothpaste. "If you really feel this way, I suggest you bring an extra pair of underwear with you tomorrow so that you can put it on the outside when you transform. It's a pity that the sheets you bought were taken away by the security guard, otherwise you really would have collected the Superman suit."
"Liangzi, if you want to discuss something, just discuss it together. Don't always focus on some weird points!" Lin Yi said speechlessly.
Wei Liang muttered quietly, "If you don't pay attention to the weird points, won't I be included in your discussion?"
"Gah, what did you say?"
"I said Aba Aba Aba Aba..."
"Well, my son, stop shouting and continue eavesdropping on your uncles' discussion." Lin Yi smoothly executed this combo and stunned Wei Liang with his backhand.
"Damn you, Old Lin, how dare you take advantage of me!"
"Oh, it suddenly occurred to me that I bought two rolls of biscuits at the canteen this time..."
"Damn it... I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I will..."
"Get lost!" Lin Yi cursed with a smile, and threw a roll of biscuits over with his backhand. Wei Liang, who had his head covered, still caught it accurately, using his 100% skill of catching a knife with his bare hands.
“Hehehe…” Wei Liang shrank his neck and smiled. These cookies were real emergency supplies. “Lao Lin, I’ll keep these for you in case you need them. Keep talking. Oh, by the way, let me remind you of the covered bridge we mentioned earlier.”
Wei Liang put the biscuits next to the pillow with a smile, and then made a "snoring" sound again, which made Lin Yi really want to go over and give him a Crow Flying Airplane Hit.
He straightened his face and continued, "I found another thing over there... I saw mosses growing unevenly on the wall outside the bridge."
"Then I pulled the moss from the twisted shape into a straight line in Minecraft..."
Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes. "You mean... you changed the reference frame of the teaching building in your mind? You used the moss as an ink string and stretched the original reality?"
"It's just like you drew a route on paper with cotton thread yesterday, but I did it the other way around." Lin Yi said, "When I twisted the moss into a straight line, the original teaching building became a postmodern architectural work with an extremely strong style. It looks very much like the internal structure of the fortress in the movie Alien, a bit like a fortress, a building with extremely abstract lines and a strong style."
Tian Bufan suddenly said, "What you said gave me some inspiration. If you can see the distribution of moss on the corridor bridge of Building D and stretch it, will you get a different teaching building D?"
Lin Yi's eyes lit up: "That makes sense."
"That makes sense, but I'm not asking you to do that." Tian Bufan quickly stopped him, "There's no rush to explore Building D. You must be fully prepared for this kind of building hidden in layers, especially after you have a clear route back and forth before you explore it. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if you can't come back after you go."
"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded. "Also, when I was deducing "My World", I don't know why, but I found that there was a very thick fog under the corridor bridge. In the world I deduced, the whole world was shrouded in fog, and only the corridor bridge and the teaching buildings in front and behind were still clear."
“The view is very restricted, and you can’t see the mountains or trees.”
"Also, there seemed to be the sound of water in the mist below the covered bridge. I'm not sure if it was sea water, but my intuition told me it was."
"The scene was like dropping the covered bridge onto liquid nitrogen, except there was no cold air. There was the roaring liquid nitrogen below and some vaporized white mist above. You couldn't see anything else."
"The most important point is... I can clearly feel the malice coming from the sea water below the bridge, as if something is spying on me from below, and I want to climb out but can't..."
Tian Bufan was silent for a while, and then he said: "The ability you mentioned is very similar to 'profiling', but it is much stronger than profiling. It's like building a sandbox in the brain and then playing with it at will..."
"And the fog and sea water you mentioned..."
"I guess it's possible that there are things hidden under or outside the sandbox. When you distort the sandbox and some areas become empty... the 'void' that didn't originally exist on this side of the sandbox comes out to fill that area, just like this..."
As he spoke, he reached his hand from his own bed to Wei Liang's bed which was connected to his and grabbed Wei Liang's sheets hard.
The sheets were wrinkled, the edges were exposed, and the bed board underneath was visible.
"That's roughly what I understand. I don't know if it's correct... It's like a virus that's suddenly inserted into your sandbox by an incomprehensible force when you're editing it. It's definitely caused by a force that exceeds our current cognition."
"Okay, okay...'That's what I understand', aren't my sheets a bit off?" Wei Liang sat up in shock from his dying illness, hands on hips, eyebrows raised, "Yesterday they pulled out the cotton thread, today they took off the sheets, are they really picking on me alone? I'm going to sleep naked if this goes on?"
"Fuck, Wei Shan, are you laughing? Don't laugh!"
"I'm not laughing." Wei Shan said. "The vibration of your bed is almost breaking my bed apart, and you're not laughing yet? Damn it, Lao Lin, let's change beds tomorrow!"
Kuai Hongji smiled sinisterly and said, "They are deliberately making trouble for you. But you want to listen but don't want to listen, and you don't want to listen but eavesdrop. Mr. Tian's actions have at least given you a sense of participation in the discussion."
"Don't panic, Liangzi. We have an extra bed in our dormitory. When Mr. Tian takes apart your bed, you can just replace it with a new one." Lin Yi said.
"..."
Tian Bufan smoothed the quilt and asked, "Besides Building D, what else have you discovered?"
"Hey, don't you have anything to say?" Lin Yi was a little surprised. This was not like Tian Bufan. Why didn't he say something that would shock him?
"I did." Tian Bufan said helplessly, "We can't have so many new discoveries every day like we did last night, right? Besides, my focus today is not on Building D."
"Oh, then what is your focus?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
"I went to check out the elevator and the stairs." Tian Bufan said.
Lin Yi's eyes widened: "I also looked at the elevator and stairwell, so aren't our explorations overlapping?"
"I'm in the elevator." Tian Bufan's words silenced Lin Yi.
"I'm sorry, I spoke a little loudly just now, so..."
"Tell me about your findings first, and then I'll tell you about mine. This part... is quite interesting." Tian Bufan smiled, but for some reason, this laugh seemed to have a bit of Kuai Hongji's sinister feeling, which made Lin Yi feel a chill down his spine.
"The elevator was full of nocturnal creatures, but Mr. Tian was able to get in...? How did he do it?"
"I found that the elevator was full of nocturnal species. They filled the space inside the elevator like plasticine, like the kind of rotten meat that fills up a large trash can... Oh, I just learned about the concept of 'nocturnal species' today, do you know?"
"We all know it, please continue."
Lin Yi didn't find it strange at all that Tian Bufan also knew this. After all, Tian Bufan was also constantly exploring.
After he told everything about his exploration of the elevator, he began to wait for Tian Bufan's words.
"It's a pity." Tian Bufan said, "If you can find a way to drive out all the nocturnal species in the elevator, you can know the situation inside the elevator."
"Yeah..." Lin Yi sighed, "There is a way, actually. Although the location where the elevator is built is a bit off and can't be directly hit by sunlight, if we can get a big enough mirror to shine at them, maybe we can force them out."
"So actually you have thought of a method, but you just haven't put it into practice." Tian Bufan said.
"Ah? You have a mirror that big?"
"I don't have one." Tian Bufan said, but immediately added, "But don't we have a ready-made mirror?"
"what?"
"I opened the elevator this morning and saw what was going on inside. I broke off a longer branch from the roadside during lunch. After returning to the teaching building, I removed the mirror from the bathroom. Then I went to the elevator, found a good position, and started working..."
"Uh……"
"What's so surprising about this?"
"I'm just a little shocked..." Lin Yi felt very uncomfortable when he thought of Tian Bufan taking apart the mirror with a cold face.
"You don't think I did it alone, do you?" Tian Bufan asked back.
"Isn't it?"
"Stupid, there is a ready-made workforce in the classroom!"
“You… mobilized the masses?!”
"Mobilize, what the hell? I'll just ask the sports students for help. When they heard I wanted to have a barbecue, they all got very enthusiastic."
"Okay..." Lin Yi spread his hands helplessly, "Then you can use a branch to remotely press the elevator door button while you arrange for the gym students to adjust the angle of the mirror to roast the nocturnal species?"
"Yes, I also conducted some small experiments and studied their structure and transformation methods."
"With the help of the sports students, I almost know them all."
Lin Yi immediately became interested and said quickly, "Tell me about it."
Tian Bufan straightened his head a little, then said, "Let me tell you the result first. The 'Nocturnal Species' are extremely afraid of sunlight. Even the light reflected by a mirror is extremely lethal to them."
"After being exposed to sunlight, the pollution in their bodies will be quickly released in the form of mist, and their bodies will turn into white plaster sculptures. However, according to the sports students, the nocturnal species that have turned into sculptures are not actually dead. Once abnormal weather arrives, they will be exposed to pollution and will return to being nocturnal species."
"To put it simply, it's like a balloon. Pollution can inflate it."
"Moreover, simply smashing them won't work. Their structure is like a 'metal liquid robot'. After being broken, the 'parts' of different individuals will attract each other after absorbing pollution, and then merge with each other, and then become a kind of neither human nor ghost. According to the information I got, that kind of thing is the prototype of the 'alien sculpture'."
"From what I understand, alien sculptures are very troublesome things. Once they are formed, it is not something that a gym student can easily deal with. So when facing ordinary nocturnal species, once we start, we must completely destroy them."
"And the way to completely destroy them is very simple, just smash them to pieces under the sun."
"Sunlight kills them completely and turns them into white powder particles, which are pure pollution and part of the 'fog' you see during unusual weather conditions."
"Wait wait wait... I'm a little confused." Lin Yi was a little confused. "You mean, after the body of the nocturnal species is shattered, it will be assimilated by the pollution and become part of the pollution? Then... this pollutant can be absorbed by the sculpted nocturnal species, allowing them to return to the form of nocturnal species."
"Then conceptually speaking, are the nocturnal species themselves the embodiment of some of the pollutants in the fog?"
Tian Bufan paused and said, "Does this composition remind you of something?"
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes: "It would have been fine if you hadn't asked, but as soon as you asked me, I subconsciously thought of 'water'."
“The three states of water.”
"Nocturnal species tending towards liquid, plaster sculptures tending towards solid, and... white powder particles tending towards gas."
"Could it be that the source of pollution on campus is a super nocturnal species?!"
"Emmmm... or should we call it... nocturnal species "super"? !"
Originally, after hearing Tian Bufan's description, Lin Yi's first thought was the super-large summoning beast slug of Tsunade in "Water Ninja", which could not only split into countless small slugs, but also merge into the main body. It was extremely similar to the nocturnal species described by Tian Bufan.
But when he looked at the campus, he immediately thought of another similar concept...
"That... non-existent ocean?!"
Isn't the ocean made up of countless amounts of water?
And in a vision not long ago, he also saw countless nocturnal species emerging from the waves like a tide, appearing from the black reefs, and then began to climb up the cliffs!
