Chapter 185 Is it the library?

Chapter 185 Is the library...? (Additional 3100 words)
"Green Belt?!" Lin Yi's eyes widened. "Just like I can't find the school gate, I can't find the library either?"

First there was the art building that was not marked on the map but existed, and then there was the library that was marked on the map but did not exist.

This campus is becoming more and more interesting... Lin Yi muttered through gritted teeth.

"It's not that outrageous." Tian Bufan shook his head gently, "I did stop in front of the green belt, but... the location of the green belt is behind the teaching building."

When Lin Yi heard this, it was as if an electric current ran through his body. Several inspirations flashed through his mind, but he was unable to grasp them for a moment.

There are three teaching buildings in a row. It seems that there are many entrances, but in fact, you can only go up by stairs, and all the stairs are facing the same direction.

That is to say, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to go around the back of the teaching building to return to the teaching building. Although it is only the back, the teaching building is actually built on a hillside, and the front and back are two completely different routes!

"But Lao Lin, think about it carefully...what is behind the teaching building?"

"Isn't it the green belt and the mountains?"

"Think about it again." Tian Bufan said with a smile.

Lin Yi thought hard, then suddenly remembered something and said in a lost voice: "You mean... the library is in the teaching building?!"

Otherwise, why would you mention entering the library unconsciously?

"Come to think of it, it was you who gave me the inspiration that allowed me to sort out this logic just now." Tian Bufan confessed.

"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned again, but this time he reacted immediately, "Wait, Mr. Tian, ​​are you saying that... the layer where Teaching Building D is located is related to the library?"

"I even suspect..." Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes and said word by word, "Teaching Building D is the library."

"hiss……"

The sound of a gasp broke the silence.

But Lin Yi found that just as he opened his mouth, someone took a deep breath before him? !

"Hey, weren't you asleep?" Tian Bufan reached out and pushed Wei Liang's bed.

In response to him, Wei Liang made a very deliberate "snoring" sound.

"..." Just this one move silenced everyone else.

"Teaching Building D is the library..." Lin Yi chewed on this sentence again and again as if he wanted to chew it up and analyze it.

At the same time, the rules regarding Teaching Building D and the library also emerged in his mind one by one.

Well, there is no need for a single line...

Because there are three in total:

[The teaching building has only four floors, no basement, no elevator, and no Building D. If you accidentally find any area other than the fourth floor of the teaching building, you are prohibited from going there.]

[You can only go up and down the teaching building by stairs, and you can only take the elevator in the library...]

[When classmates invite you to take the elevator in the teaching building, or persuade you to take the stairs in the library, please ignore them and stay away from them immediately. They are not your classmates...]

Assuming that the library is teaching building D, then the first point is valid from another perspective?
There is no Building D in the teaching building. Yes, there is no Building D, because that is the library, but it is connected to the teaching building by a corridor bridge.

What a genius textual logic.

I'm really fucking impressed.

Suddenly, Lin Yi also noticed a detail that he had overlooked before - on this campus map that looked like a scenic spot guide map, each building had its own special icon.

The teaching building in the middle has a three-row icon of the Chinese character “目” (eye) and is labeled “teaching building”.
As for the buildings distributed around the teaching building, the gymnasium is a square with a circle, representing the gymnasium and sports dome, marked as "gymnasium";
The cafeteria icon is a sun-like icon, with a circle representing the cafeteria, and the light-like things around it seem to represent many passages, marked as "cafeteria";
The dormitory icon is a rebar... emmmm... at least, it looks like a rebar, a giant axial rod with a simple spiral pattern, labeled "Dormitory";
The icon of the Art Building is a circle with a "?" inside it and an "×" on the right. It is not drawn in a fixed position, but just marked in the corner: "Art Building?"
As for the library... According to the campus map, there are three roads to the library, two of which are connected to the cafeteria and the teaching building, while the third is a ray.

And the library icon is... a watch face with a square in it?

No, that doesn't look like a clock face, it looks like... a clock tower?!

and many more!

How could it be a clock tower?!
Lin Yi stared at the icon of the library, and pictures flashed through his mind one after another.

The view of Building D from Building C...

The appearance of Building D on the way back to the teaching building from the cafeteria...

"It seems, indeed, it really is... a building with a clock tower?"

"But the clock tower... the Art Building also has a huge clock tower!"

"Hmm, it seems a little different... Well, an art building can have a clock tower, and so can a library!"

"Hush, wait a little longer..."

Lin Yi always felt that he had missed some details, and then he stared at the library icon and thought about it carefully, and then suddenly a light bulb went off in his mind!
When he entered the school, he saw the shadow of the clock tower when he looked at the campus through the window of the bus. However, after entering the campus, he never saw a similar building in the normal campus again.

And on the day of entering school...the weather was abnormal!
On the evening of May 5, Teaching Building D emerged from the layer in the form of a library?
Therefore, the "Library-102" lamp pole ends at the back of the teaching building, because if it extends further from the back of the teaching building, it will be Building D!
Precisely because it is Building D, you might accidentally walk into the library by walking across the corridor bridge, or you might know there is no Building D but still go to take a look out of curiosity!

The library certainly has its own library rules, but in order to prevent people from mistakenly entering and going up the stairs, the rules specifically state that the library can only be accessed by elevator!

"In this case, it seems... that it makes sense?"

Lin Yi's gaze slowly left the campus map and he looked at Tian Bufan with some surprise.

Tian Bufan nodded: "It was your speculation about Building D that inspired me to connect them together. However, to see whether this speculation is accurate or not, I need to go to Building D to see it myself."

"Of course, what I mean is, don't go now. At any time, unless you are relatively sure, don't do anything beyond your cognition."

"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded.

Tian Bufan glanced at the pendulum clock.

23: 12.

After a long and thoughtful conversation, time passed by inadvertently. Now there are less than 50 minutes left before the lights in the dormitory will be turned off.

"There's not much time left. Let's talk about the cafeteria and then go to bed." Tian Bufan asked.

Lin Yi said: "Okay."

Lin Yi then told the story of what happened in the cafeteria when he was looking for the canteen. He talked about this part in detail and it was already 23:25 when he finished. Tian Bufan did not say a word and just listened to his story silently.

"Finally, when Li Huiyuan and I escaped from the canteen, we found ourselves in the student passage."

"Also, the chef in the blue bib standing at the entrance of the student cafeteria and in the student passage actually told Li Huiyuan the location of the canteen. For a moment, I was a little unsure of which side he was on. I could only conclude from the color of his bib that he was not a non-human for the time being..."

"Secondly, the entrance to the store does not exist in the normal layer, and the store itself must be in another layer..."

"According to the description of the blue bib chef of "Ru Zai", the store is located in an "area that is illuminated by sunlight but not by lights". If you want to enter the store, you need to find a... hidden corner."

"As for how to enter the canteen, the homeroom teacher-040 who gave Li Huiyuan the task did not say anything. Instead, it was the chef in the blue bib who told her. This is so strange..."

"The interior of the store made me feel like it was a bomb shelter filled with shelves, and... there was even an area in the store without any lights!"

"Li Huiyuan stepped her feet a little further in, and that part became a sculpture."

"It's like there's a transparent barrier there that won't stop you from crossing over. But if you do cross over, you're doomed."

"One more thing... I found that whether it's the cafeteria or the classroom, there is a process and pattern from the lights flashing to going out."

"The order in which the lights go off is not random, but regular, like a 'wave' condensing from a certain point. As this 'wave' is brewing and taking shape, the lights begin to flicker."

"When this 'wave' is stimulated from this point, the areas pushed by it turn dark one by one."

“And the path of the area where the light is off is equivalent to the path of the wave.”

"Moreover, I reversed the path of the 'wave' and finally found that the origin of this 'wave' seemed to be the mysterious No. 10 meal purchase window..."

"And coincidentally, when the 'wave' began to advance, a large cloud of fog appeared in the cafeteria as if it had seeped out from nowhere, and the green-bibbed chef and those inhuman students began to press forward in the fog."

"I even seem to have spotted the shadow of a strange artist in the mist..."

"After Li Huiyuan and I escaped to the store, the fog soon seeped in as well. It was really weird."

Unfortunately, because the atmosphere was too oppressive at the time, Lin Yi had no time to be distracted when he was taking Li Huiyuan away from the store, and his last impression of the store was only the invasion of fog.

Instead, he was more shocked when he found himself in the student passage after leaving the canteen.

After listening to Lin Yi's story, Tian Bufan digested the overall details carefully, and then slowly said: "In other words, the lights in the building... can be used as an observation tool to react to and observe 'waves' to a certain extent!"

"Considering our previous conjecture that the light is not provided by the power supply system, but by energy with extraordinary properties, I suspect that this kind of 'wave' is very likely to interfere with the extraordinary properties of the light bulb, just like causing voltage instability..."

"You said... could it be the influence of that conceptual sculpture?"

"Oh?!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up, "What do you mean?"

"Energy field hypothesis, or...some kind of interference similar to matter waves." Tian Bufan said, "Didn't I say before that the conceptual sculpture might be some kind of 'quantum state'? It is itself a very powerful source of pollution, and it is very likely to carry extraordinary properties..."

“I suspect that ‘Him’ is the existence deep in the fog. When ‘Him’ moves, pollution spreads around it in the form of fog, and it pushes out in all directions with it as the center, forming a field similar to light... But this field is integrated with the fog, so we can’t see it, but…”

Lin Yi's body trembled: "But, it can be reflected by the light in the form of 'waves'!"

"If the street lights on campus are always on between 18:00 and 6:00 the next day, then the effect of incandescent lamps is not only to drive away nocturnal species, but also to serve as a warning, using the flashing lights to warn of the appearance of "Him" and the on and off of the lights to show "Him"'s presence and departure!" "This is a method that can intuitively reflect "Him"'s movement route without having to consider the danger of facing "Him" directly!"

“Moreover, security guards can also use this as a criterion to quickly reach dark areas!”

"By the way... the security guard should be able to defeat 'Him', right?"

The Security Emperor is the most powerful unit that Lin Yi knows of that will appear on the campus. He has an almost blind trust in the security guards. Of course, he can only believe that the Security Emperor can suppress everything.

"The security guard carrying the old kerosene lamp seems to have something similar to this field." Lin Yi said, "But at present, it is hard to say whether it is the security guard's field or the old kerosene lamp..."

"It should be the security guard's personal property."

"How can you be so sure?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.

"The dormitory manager also carries an old kerosene lamp, but he doesn't have that kind of area." Tian Bufan said.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment: "Wait... have you seen the dormitory manager?"

"Isn't that what you described?"

"I...even if I described it, did I describe it in such detail?" Lin Yi was a little confused. He thought to himself, could it be that you didn't sleep late at night and pretended to be asleep to observe the dormitory manager who was checking the dorms?
This is too outrageous, but it is very consistent with Tian Bufan's behavioral logic.

But, looking at Tian Bufan's appearance, he doesn't look like he hasn't slept for two days and two nights!
"Maybe my imagination is wrong. The skinny dormitory manager with dark circles under his eyes in your description is really hard for me to associate with the security guard." Tian Bufan added, trying to change the subject.

Lin Yi, however, vaguely realized something, that Tian Bufan had definitely met the dormitory manager.

But...there was only so much time, when did he meet the dormitory manager?

"So, if the lights going out really follow this logic, then we can even calculate the scope of 'Him' based on 'Him's' movement speed in the layer and the time it takes for the lights to flicker and go out completely, and then extrapolate more data. In this way, maybe it can help us avoid some dangers at critical moments, and it may have miraculous effects when we are in desperate situations..." Tian Bufan murmured to himself.

When Lin Yi heard this, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up. He said, "Dude, you are a data expert, right? You can even calculate this?"

"But..." Tian Bufan denied himself again, "Our understanding of 'Him' is too shallow. This crude calculation is still too pale. As long as there is a little variable, the whole thing will collapse. It is not advisable..."

"Hello." Tian Bufan reached over the head of his bed and patted Wei Liang's bed.

"I fell asleep, I fell asleep, snoring..." Wei Liang muttered in his sleep, but his legs kept kicking, as if he wanted to kick Tian Bufan's hand away, but Tian Bufan had already retracted his hand.

"Wei Liang, when you came here last time, did you buy something in the convenience store?" Tian Bufan asked.

Wei Liang's body trembled, as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Bullshit, I didn't buy twelve loaves of bread, six rolls of biscuits and eighteen bottles of water from the canteen for four consecutive days!"

"..."

"No... ? Liangzi, you fucking... know exactly where the convenience store is?" Lin Yi widened his eyes and looked at Wei Liang in disbelief.

But when he thought about it carefully, he found that things were even more outrageous.

Wei Liang said that he did not leave the dormitory in the last two days, and the twelve loaves of bread, six rolls of biscuits and eighteen bottles of water he bought were exactly thirty-six items. In other words, the four consecutive days he mentioned meant that he went to the store to buy three items for every meal for four consecutive days!
The trial period lasted seven days, two days in the dormitory and four days for shopping. In other words, Wei Liang only spent one day to adapt last time, and on the second day he was able to freely enter the canteen?!

"No, listen to my excuse!" Wei Liang said quickly, "There are a lot of goods at the door of the store. I always swipe my card at the shopping terminal at the door after I buy things. I have never been inside!"

"That store...it was pitch black inside, so weird, I don't even want to think about it again."

"Hululu——"

"Liangzi?"

"Snoring! Snore! Did you hear me snoring so loudly!" Wei Liang turned over and covered his head with the quilt.

Tian Bufan shrugged: "It seems that he can't provide any useful information for the time being."

"Lao Lin, you just said that you entered Maozi's perspective in the store. Did you find anything?"

Lin Yi said solemnly, "The image from that perspective was extremely limited. I only knew that Maozi had lost his student commemorative coins and was buying student commemorative coins with that art student named Mu Daxian in the canteen... Oh, by the way, in that perspective, I saw the lights in the canteen change from flickering to bright red, and then a beeping sound rang throughout the canteen, just like the air-raid shelter alarm in the movie!"

Wei Liang's body trembled violently.

"Hey, Liangzi, do you have anything to say?" Lin Yi noticed Wei Liang's actions.

"That's a bullshit. I just scratched my butt! You guys, don't be so surprised. We agreed not to discredit me. What's wrong with you? Do you really think I'm the God of Fortune Wei Liang?" Wei Liang half of his face emerged from the quilt, showing contempt. "If you really have this ability, I'd just go and get a fortune teller and get paid. Why do you want to be an experience student?"

"Aren't you here as a trial student just to show off in front of me?"

"Uh... come on, you're so blunt that it makes my pretense look pale, okay! You guys chat, I'm really going to sleep! Damn, it's almost midnight, you guys should hurry up too!" Wei Liang couldn't help but remind them, then he turned over again and started snoring...

Is there a shopping terminal at the entrance of the store? Lin Yi couldn't help but recall it, and then found that there didn't seem to be one, at least not in his memory.

However, the things at the entrance of the convenience store were all moved out from inside, and perhaps a shopping terminal was also moved out when Wei Liang came.

Lin Yi didn't dwell on this point any more, and continued: "But speaking of which, that Mu Daxian is really amazing. He just deformed a drawing board into an axe that looked like a cross, and chopped the nocturnal creatures that broke in one by one!"

"It's a pity that I didn't see more footage, otherwise I might have learned something about the fighting style of art students. But looking at Mu Daxian's techniques, they are a bit like those of Xu Shunkang and other sports students..."

Tian Bufan hesitated for a moment, then said, "But the fighting style of the art student I saw on the night of May 5th was completely different from the style of Mu Daxian you mentioned..."

"Ah?" Lin Yi was surprised. "Why is it different?"

"On the surface, it looked like they were setting up a drawing board to paint, and only a small number of art students and sports students joined in to do something with their inhuman classmates."

"Drawing? No, drawing can be called a fighting method?"

"Perhaps the classroom layer is anchored by painting?" Tian Bufan said, "After the lights in the classroom go out, the layer becomes unstable. In addition to the 'domain theory of 'Him'' that we just discussed, maybe the real role of the art students is to weaken the influence of the domain on the reality layer, so that the sports students can perform normally?"

"As for the Mu Daxian you mentioned..." Tian Bufan rubbed his brows, "I feel that he is not simple, perhaps not an ordinary art student, maybe he is a 'boss' type... emmmm, an art student boss?"

"I don't know." Lin Yi shook his head. Mu Daxian gave him the feeling of being gentle yet a little fierce. Facing the oppression of the weird art teacher, he could still kill a weird art student with one hand right in front of her. His deterrent power was no lack.

"However, if I can still put myself in Maozi's perspective in my dreams today, I will definitely observe Mu Daxian more."

Tian Bufan: "I wish you a sweet dream."

"..."

"So...you're going to sleep now?" Lin Yi glanced at the pendulum clock on the wall. It was 23:45, and there were still 15 minutes before the lights went out. "You don't have anything to say about the fact that the exit of the canteen is the student passage?"

Tian Bufan said: "There are not many details to discuss in this regard. The only information we can get is the literal meaning, and we can't find the exit of the canteen in the student passage. It is almost a one-way passage."

"What I'm concerned about is that if the fog that invaded the canteen can flow out from the canteen exit, does that mean the green-bibbed chef and the nocturnal creatures at the No. 10 food purchase window can also leave the cafeteria through the student passage through this path?"

"Could this be the reason why the green bib chefs left the cafeteria and appeared in other areas? Because from what we can see so far, the green bib chefs do not have the ability to move under the sun, and they seem unable to leave the student cafeteria by conventional means."

If they could leave, the green-bibbed chefs wouldn't stop at the plastic curtains in the student cafeteria.

Can a small piece of plastic air curtain stop the chef in the green bib who is determined to leave the student cafeteria?
So there must be another reason.

"Hey, Mr. Tian, ​​you reminded me!" Lin Yi suddenly had an idea. "Nocturnal species will smoke and turn into sculptures when exposed to sunlight. And Li Huiyuan will also turn into a sculpture if she puts her feet into the darkness of the store..."

"You said... Will the boundary between light and darkness be like a natural chasm for the polluters?"

"I mean, can this also be applied to the green bib chefs, because they can't leave the cafeteria?"

Tian Bufan thought for a moment and said, "You can keep this conjecture, but don't use it as a basis to test the green bib chef. The cafeteria is not yet among our exploration targets, so stay away from it."

"Ah."

"There is a physical education class tomorrow. I can have a good chat with the sports students. If it is convenient, we can go to the gymnasium for a walk." Tian Bufan said.

"I have the same plan." Lin Yi also said.

The stadium rules also come with a map of the inside of the stadium with clearly marked lines, so just stay in the safe areas.

"What the hell are you planning to do? You will definitely be forced by the boss to take a bath, right? You will be forced by the boss to learn how to swim. Ah~~~ I also want to have a nice and fragrant girl to teach me how to swim!" Wei Liang, who was snoring loudly, suddenly spoke out of the blue.

During this more than one hour, Wei Liang's snoring never stopped, which really makes people wonder how much sleep he gets.

Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly suggested: "How about... you take swimming lessons with me?"

"I have no objection." Wei Liang raised both hands in agreement, but as soon as he finished speaking, a picture immediately emerged in his mind...

In the swimming class, the boss took Lin Yi swimming, and next to him was the muscular man who took off his oversized sneakers and gave them to him. The boss called him "Xiao Zhouzi"...

He seemed to foresee the scene of him paddling in the swimming pool, with little Zhouzi on the shore stepping him into the water again and again, then looking down at him with a frown and a grin, pressing his knuckles with both hands, making crisp sounds.

"What's up, brother? The boss has said so, but you still don't want to swim. Do you want me to take you swimming personally?"

Xiao Zhouzi's voice seemed to come back from tomorrow's physical education class, buzzing in his ears.

Wei Liang's anus tightened and he subconsciously stood up like a cricket pupa.

Lin Yi didn't know what kind of picture Wei Liang, who had no opinion just a moment ago, was thinking of, and a big black question mark appeared on his face.

"Are you okay, Liangzi?"

"Get out of here! I don't want to swim! Get out of here!"
