Chapter 186 Sky Blue Steam
Chapter 186 Sky Blue Steam (1100 words more!)
Dormitory 1414, 23:55. At Lin Yi's insistence, everyone went to the bathroom before midnight.
Lin Yi was the last one to go up, and after he was done, he planned to check the doors and windows before going to bed.
But just as he touched the door handle, he suddenly retracted his hand subconsciously.
cold!
It’s too cool!
The place on the door handle where he touched was burned by his hand and left a handprint, and the entire dormitory door was covered with a layer of frost!
He looked down and saw that there seemed to be some fog under the crack in the door, seeping in vaguely, but when it was illuminated by the light, it quickly dissipated.
Lin Yi hissed a breath of cold air, but immediately spat it out again.
I was careless and almost ate the mist...
He went to the washstand to check the window again. At this time, the window was covered with water vapor due to the temperature difference between inside and outside the dormitory at night, and it looked white.
This time, just as he confirmed that the window was locked and was about to turn around, a black shadow suddenly flashed past the window!
"Fuck?!" He jumped subconsciously, then quickly slid onto the bed, shivering on the bed.
If it was the first day, he might have stared at the window and wondered what the big black rat was, but now his way of doing things has changed. He first makes sure he is in a safe area, and then watches quietly.
The main player frowned and retreated behind the crowd.
He first glanced at the time on the pendulum clock.
23: 57.
Then I looked at my watch again and the times were the same.
Only then did he look out the window and count the time silently.
他只给自己30秒钟，30秒钟之内如果看不到什么东西就不看了，确保在23:58~23:59之间闭眼睡觉。
Based on his understanding of himself, one minute, if nothing unexpected happened, would be enough for him to fall asleep.
If something unexpected happens, it will be too late even if you start sleeping now.
Is this 30 seconds?
I can only say, it’s bad.
suddenly!
Another black shadow flashed past, but Lin Yi realized that the black shadow...
"How did it jump up from the bottom?"
If something jumped out of the window from an upper floor, it would definitely fall from top to bottom. How could it be falling from bottom to top, and at such an incredibly fast speed, as if it was accelerating?
"Did you meet a failed man?"
Lin Yi muttered to himself, adjusted his sleeping position, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The beds in the dormitory have a unique design. With even breathing, you can feel a slight shaking, like water waves pushing your body, making you feel relaxed.
Not long after, Lin Yi fell into a deep sleep, and at this time, the pendulum clock on the wall showed 23:59:43...
“Tick…tick…tick…”
The pendulum clock was still swinging slowly and soon completed its last circle.
When the time reached 0:0:00, accompanied by a "pop" sound, the three incandescent lamps in the dormitory went out at the same time.
The entire dormitory was instantly immersed in darkness, and the originally white window glass became the brightest thing in the dormitory, like a fluorescent screen, emitting a cold light...
From time to time, there were black shadows passing by the window quickly, but at a certain moment, a dark shadow suddenly poked its head out from the top of the window, and like a humanoid spider, it used its hands and feet to crawl from top to bottom...
……
Lin Yi, lying on the bed, gradually felt his body becoming softer, and then the sound of "whoosh whoosh..." of wind appeared in his ears.
Gradually, a feeling of falling came over Lin Yi, making him "wake up" in an instant.
He found himself surrounded by countless broken clouds, flying between the clouds like a skydiver, but he did not feel the acceleration of gravity. He could only feel the even, slow wind blowing from the bottom up.
"I..." He tried hard to recall, then slowly came to his senses, "I was dreaming."
"It's amazing... I realized I was dreaming so quickly this time."
Some people dream but they don't realize they are dreaming until they wake up or encounter some major changes in the dream, and they will wake up soon. However, this time Lin Yi appeared in the dream with an extremely clear consciousness.
"Have I become 'adapted' to dreams like this?"
"Adaptation" was the definition given to him by Tian Bufan, but he didn't expect that he could adapt even in his dreams.
He looked down at his watch and his eyes lit up.
0: 03.
The watch in my dream... is still working?!
"Interesting... Now it's really getting interesting!"
"I wonder how long it will take before I 'fall' into someone else's perspective?"
Lin Yi looked around curiously, but found that there was nothing here except sparse clouds and mist.
But although it is a fragmented environment, I can't see any other scenery appearing here.
Suddenly, he felt his feet touching something, followed by a feeling of being supported by the ground, which flowed along the soles of his feet, through his legs, and fed back to his body.
The fog suddenly dissipated, and he found himself somewhere in the teaching building.
The environment was very familiar, and he could tell at a glance that it was the corner of the stairwell.
"Could it be Mr. Tian's perspective?" He guessed it was the scene where Tian Bufan was "having a barbecue" during the day.
Sure enough, from Lin Yi's perspective, two gym students in blue and white striped sportswear came out from the corner panting, carrying the huge mirror in the bathroom.
"Be gentle, don't break it!" one of the sports students urged anxiously as they passed the corner.
"Just focus on your side, don't guess blindly about our side..."
“Ka… Bang!”
As the two gym students were talking, their movements suddenly froze, and they felt as awkward as a married couple returning home and having their house robbed.
Even through the dream, Lin Yi could feel the anxious atmosphere in the air at this moment.
Especially, there were several athletes around watching them.
"It's okay... let's go to the female guards and take another piece off." A Sleeping Dragon slapped the back of his head and offered a brilliant plan on the spot.
“Idiot! You’re a man, how did you get into the women’s restroom?!” The gym student next to him punched him and then ran out happily, “I’ll go for this kind of good thing. If anyone asks, just say it was Junior Tian who said it! Hehehehe…”
"Hey, come on, I'm talking to you, kid!" Several sports students nearby also followed in the name of supervision, and seemed to be very interested in removing the mirror of the female bathroom.
Lin Yi was speechless, thinking to himself, come on, aren't the mirrors in the bathroom all outside on the corridor side? Why are you so excited?
At this time, he noticed that Tian Bufan slowly squatted down, then picked up a few larger pieces of mirror fragments, came to the sun, and gestured to reflect the light onto the elevator door.
"Brother Tian, the mirror is broken. Why don't you wait for a new one?" asked a tall and strong athlete next to him.
"I need the whole thing, and I also need the fragments." Tian Bufan continued to gesture with the mirror, muttering to himself, "I am now short of some glue to glue the mirrors together..."
"Glue?" The gym student frowned. "We don't have any glue. How about we wait until they bring the big mirror over?" "Don't worry, I have a way." Tian Bufan whispered, "I saw you deal with some nocturnal species before. Can you... do this... also 'make the best use of it'."
Listening to Tian Bufan's words, the athlete's eyes gradually widened, and he looked at him with some fear: "You...you are really a pervert! But I admire you!"
"Let's start." Tian Bufan smiled.
"Start, we must start!" The gym student stretched his muscles, with an evil smile on his face, and walked towards the elevator.
Then, under Lin Yi's curious gaze, the athlete reached out and pressed the elevator door opening button.
With a crisp "ding", the elevator vibrated slightly, and then the elevator door slowly opened, revealing a disgusting picture of flesh and blood.
I don't know how many nocturnal species were entangled together in the form of rubber men. In this form, they completely lost their human outlines. The abstract and disgusting picture made people's scalps tighten. As the elevator door opened, the outermost eyeballs that were like fruits hanging outside the flesh and blood began to roll around, and then their sight fell on the athlete.
[Is it evening yet? ]
[Eh... why aren't they the ones opening the door? Are you...? ]
The gym student calmly looked at the nocturnal creatures that filled the elevator car, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Please help me a little!"
After he said that, he reached out and grabbed the blood vessel connecting the eyeball of one of the nocturnal species to its skin and flesh, then pulled it hard, trying to pull it out.
But the nocturnal creature also realized the danger, and curled up tightly in the elevator. Its countless flesh and blood extended into tentacles with clearly defined muscle lines, and they rushed towards the sports student.
All the nocturnal creatures in this elevator seemed to merge into one and launched an attack on the gym student.
If the person facing them at this moment was the trainee who accidentally touched the elevator door switch, he would probably have become a human sieve.
"Damn it... You're insulting me in front of my junior?" The gym student sneered, and with a single arm he circled several tentacles under his armpits. Then he let out an angry roar, and actually pulled out some of the nocturnal species inside the elevator like tug-of-war!
More and more tentacles began to attack the gym student. From a distance, it looked like the elevator had opened a mouth full of tentacles and was swallowing up the gym student like a carnivorous plant.
At this moment, a sports student rushed forward quickly, holding up a baseball bat and chopped it down fiercely as if he was possessed by the god of war.
At this moment, from Lin Yi's perspective, the athlete's body was actually emitting sky blue steam, and some of the sky blue steam was entangled on the baseball bat, covering it with a layer of air blade like a beam saber.
“Clang—”
The baseball bat covered with air blades fell like a guillotine, cutting off all the tentacles that protruded from the elevator car. The athlete who was originally playing tug-of-war with the tentacles let out a series of "ouch" sounds, staggered back, and then fell to the ground with the remains of some nocturnal species.
"Lao Du, if you don't have the skills, don't take on such a job." The athlete holding a baseball bat said mercilessly.
Old Du pouted and said, "I just want to show off in front of Junior Tian."
He got up from the ground and kicked the still-squirming bodies of the nocturnal creatures to Tian Bufan's feet: "Junior, let's see your performance."
"Thank you, senior." Tian Bufan looked at the muddy body of the nocturnal species not far away and smiled.
He just picked up a piece and walked under the sun. When the nocturnal species' body saw the light, a large amount of mist composed of white powder particles immediately evaporated. However, from Lin Yi's current perspective, the mist was actually green.
As the pollution disappeared, the exposed body of the nocturnal species began to quickly sculpt, and Tian Bufan quickly used this body to fix the mirror fragments. In the end, he used them as glue to stick several pieces of mirror fragments together.
Based on the solidity of the solidified sculpture, the newly assembled mirror is also extremely stable.
In this way, Tian Bufan used the remains of the nocturnal species as an upgraded substitute for solid glue and pieced most of the mirror fragments together again.
He did not put the broken mirrors back into a plane mirror, but instead formed a multi-faceted mirror with multiple plane angles. This mirror can effectively focus light into one area, which is equivalent to pointing several mirrors in different positions at the same place to reflect light.
The main point is to “make the best use of everything”.
After finishing it, Tian Bufan adjusted the distance so that the converged light could be perfectly concentrated in a small area after the elevator door opened. At this time, the sports students just brought over another mirror.
Tian Bufan used a large mirror to refract the light beam to perfectly cover the elevator door, and the multi-faceted mirror was used to focus on a certain point, so that he could adjust the roasting angle at any time.
After finishing the preparations, Tian Bufan signaled the athletes to disperse, and then began the barbecue plan.
What happened next was almost the same as what he told Lin Yi, except that the person holding the mirror changed from Tian Bufan to the athletes who were eager to try...
The sports students had a lot of fun playing with this very imaginative toy. It seems childish in every way but it is really interesting, just like the rural children roasting leeches with a magnifying glass. The main purpose is to have fun.
Under the double scorching heat, none of the nocturnal creatures in the elevator survived, and all were roasted into pure white plaster sculptures.
And every time the nocturnal creatures on the outer layer were completely turned into sculptures, the athlete would swing the baseball bat covered with sky-blue steam and smash them into pieces, exposing the surviving nocturnal creatures hiding behind them to the light again.
Finally, the athletes used baseball bats to crush the sculpture fragments, turning them into white powdery particles that floated away.
After doing all this, the athletes also destroyed the part of the sculpture in the polyhedron.
While dealing with this part of the sculpture, Lin Yi discovered that blood vessel-like thing again.
"What is this?" Tian Bufan also noticed it and asked the sports students.
Sports student Lao Du said directly: "This is their 'frame'."
"Oh, a vascular-like...'frame'?" Tian Bufan raised his eyebrows.
"It's something that all nocturnal species have." Lao Du said, "You can think of it as their information capsule, or... their identity code."
"The underlying code of each nocturnal species is the same, but due to differences in the transformation pathways and various external factors, the final manifestations are different."
"But, at the level of 'Nocturnal', they are essentially the same."
"The existence of the 'frame' is the fundamental reason why they can constantly repair themselves and transform back and forth between 'human', 'humanoid sculpture', and 'pure nocturnal species'."
"Look." Lao Du said as he put it into practice, focusing on combining theory with practice. He threw the nocturnal species frame to the sports student holding a baseball bat beside him, "Lao Zhang, throw it over to the green forest belt and show it to the junior."
"Fuck, I don't want to be a runner!" The physical education student Lao Zhang said with disdain, and pretended to throw the nocturnal plant frame back.
"I don't want to say it again, godfather." Lao Du said seriously.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? My son, please wait here for a moment. I will be back soon!" Old Zhang was so excited to have an adopted son that he rushed down the stairs and ran towards the green forest belt surrounded by thin mist.
But after just two steps, the nocturnal species frame in hand was directly sculpted due to exposure.
"Oh, I was careless!" Lao Zhang slapped his head, smiled awkwardly and returned to the teaching building. Without waiting for Lao Du to say anything, he swung the baseball bat and smashed a pure white plaster sculpture. He found the frame of the nocturnal species inside, then took off his school uniform to block the light and rushed to the green belt with it.
"Lao Zhang, just play with it for a while. Don't let it run away." Lao Du reminded on the steps.
"Father knows!" Lao Zhang's voice came from afar.
Lao Du coughed dryly and continued to explain to Tian Bufan: "Nocturnal species use the 'frame' to absorb pollution and restore their bodies. As long as the frame is not damaged, no matter how broken the body is, it can slowly recover."
"Look..." He pointed at Lao Zhang.
I saw Lao Zhang grabbing one end of the nocturnal plant frame and throwing it into the green forest belt like a fishing rod.
The nocturnal species frame entered the green forest belt and immediately began to absorb the white powder particles in the mist, making them adhere to the frame. Then, like a mosaic repair, it gradually turned into wriggling flesh and blood, and it grew in number. Gradually, after this part of the flesh and blood was almost recovered, it was directly transformed into a human-shaped sculpture.
Lao Du imparted knowledge, "You see, at first they can only recover into pure nocturnal species, but as they ingest excessive pollution, they will begin to transform into humanoid sculptures. However, that kind of humanoid sculpture is the limit of what they can transform into. Even if they plunder the identity in the future, they can't transform back into a person like you. They can only become...what did you say?"
"A non-human classmate." Tian Bufan said.
Lao Du nodded and said, "That's the definition you gave. I suggest you change it to a more official definition... a polluter in pseudo-human form, referred to as a "pseudo-human polluter" or "pseudo-human."
