Chapter 187 Not for Me
Chapter 187 Not for Me
Despite what he said, Lao Du's attention was always on Lao Zhang. Seeing that the situation was not bad, he quickly shouted, "Okay, that's enough, Lao Zhang!"
"Okay!" Lao Zhang sneered, exerted force, pulled it out of the green forest belt, and threw it directly into the sun.
"laugh--"
Once exposed, the remains of the nocturnal species' frame recovered like pouring water on the hot stones in a sauna, quickly evaporating a large amount of mist, and then immediately turned into a pure white sculpture.
The transformation from a human-shaped sculpture to a pure white sculpture is a very magical picture. At first glance, it seems that the human-shaped sculpture has become purely static, but if you look closely, you can find that the original human-shaped sculpture will give people a strange sense of discomfort, but when they die, the pure white plaster-like sculpture will not.
Lao Zhang swung the bat and smashed it into pieces, and the wind blew it away completely.
After completing this step, Lao Zhang clapped his hands and was about to leave, but he seemed to sense something, and suddenly frowned, turned his head and looked into the green forest belt, sneering: "Were you looking at me just now? Are you unhappy?"
"How dare you stare at me?" Old Zhang cursed, swung his bat and walked directly into the greenbelt. A few seconds later, a cracked human-shaped sculpture shot out from the greenbelt like a sandbag, followed by the second, the third...
More than ten of them flew out in succession. Lao Du couldn't help but frown and shout, "Lao Zhang, that's enough! Don't get too excited!"
However, there was no response from the Green Belt.
Lao Du let out a click of his tongue, and all the athletes around him stood up, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Fortunately, Old Zhang, who was covered in sky-blue steam, immediately came out of the green forest belt, and then swung the baseball bat to smash all the human-shaped sculptures exposed to the sun into white powder particles.
"Damn it. Originally I had nothing to do with them, but now these guys are glaring at me in the green forest! I can't stand my fucking temper!" Old Zhang walked back cursing.
"No...didn't those guys just have that glaring expression?" Lao Du wiped his sweat, "If you feel itchy, just do it. Don't make excuses!"
"Whatever." Old Zhang carried his baseball bat and sat down on the steps to bask in the sun. "I'll take a break. You guys continue."
Old Du withdrew his gaze in dismay, and then said to Tian Yifan: "You have also seen that the existence of the framework allows the nocturnal species to continuously repair themselves, so that they can maintain a pure nocturnal form or a humanoid sculpture form in the dark... However, the 'underlying code' of the framework is very crude, and it will continue to erase the remaining humanity of the nocturnal species."
"Of course, this only applies to nocturnal species that are transformed from living beings. It is useless for nocturnal species that are transformed from dead people."
"That's right. Those nocturnal species that are transformed from living people after being contaminated will gradually become pure nocturnal species. The ones you saw in the elevator are beyond help."
Tian Bufan nodded slightly: "But if they take away the student ID of the experience student, they will become non-human classmates... um... pseudo-humans, indeed, it is easier to say so. So even if they become pseudo-humans, they still can't be transformed back into humans, right?"
"That's right." Lao Du nodded. "Let's put it this way. Anyone who loses their identity anchor and is contaminated and becomes a pseudo-human can still be saved. But if they transform from a pseudo-human into a pure nocturnal species, then their 'framework' is equivalent to being washed away and branded with the 'underlying code' of a pure nocturnal species. No matter what happens in the future, they will never be able to break away from the concept of a pure nocturnal species."
"Hey, Junior Brother Tian, you seem to be in distress? Is this logic difficult to understand?" Old Du looked at Tian Bufan, and for a moment he was a little puzzled as to why Tian Bufan, a guy who seemed to be extremely smart, would rub his temples.
Tian Bufan shook his head slightly: "I'm just thinking about how to guide this logic to my roommate little by little... How should I put his current IQ... emmm... should still be recovering."
"Oh, Junior Tian seems to trust your roommate very much... Why not let him become a sports student as we are short of manpower?" Lao Du said with a smile.
"We have made arrangements." Tian Bufan smiled and didn't say anything more on this topic.
When Lin Yi heard this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"No wonder Mr. Tian was able to get so much information from the sports student. Did he tell this old Du about his plan to become a sports student?"
However, given Tian Bufan's personality, he didn't say that he wanted to become a sports student just to get words from Lao Du and the others.
The reason why Tian Bufan hasn't become a sports student is probably because he hasn't found a way to transform from a sports student back to an experience student, or in other words... he hasn't found the optimal solution.
"It seems that there are many different types of pseudo-people."
Lao Du said: "Yes, fake people can only be regarded as a general term, just like a degree on a thermometer, it may be a degree of cooling, or it may be a degree of heating."
"All people or night creatures at this reading are pseudo-humans."
"Fake people are very dangerous, so we need to work together with art students to clean them up almost every once in a while."
"During our cleanup, we may accidentally kill some pseudo-humans who have a chance to transform back into experience life, but there is no other way. For the safety of more people, we can only kill the innocent rather than let them go."
"Because... the contaminated area of the pseudo-human is the most likely to produce "alien sculptures". Once an alien sculpture appears, its characteristics may even affect us, and it is very difficult to deal with."
"Alien sculpture..." Tian Bufan pondered for a moment, and Lin Yi also pondered for a moment.
He immediately thought of Ge Qing "the non-human classmate" and Nie Yun "the non-human classmate"... No, the pseudo-human Ge Qing and the pseudo-human Nie Yun whose cognition was disrupted by him and Wei Liang's design, and who were in a chaotic state of entanglement and fusion with each other, looked like an alien sculpture. Could that be the way "alien sculptures" were created?
But the pseudo-human Nie Yun and the pseudo-human Ge Qing...didn't seem to want to merge into the alien sculptures.
Then Tian Bufan stood up and walked slowly towards the elevator.
However, just as Tian Bufan was about to set off, Lin Yi suddenly sensed something was wrong. He looked up and suddenly saw a large amount of condensed green mist on the ceiling of the floor!
"What is this...?!" Lin Yi's pupils dilated slightly. This green mist was like the smoke rings exhaled by a smoker. Countless smoke rings were suspended in front of the ceiling, with no signs of dissipating.
In this fog, he could feel a strong sense of malice and resentment.
"This is the green mist mark!" Just as he reacted, the green mist seemed to have found its target, and it circled around and wandered towards Lao Du and Lao Zhang!
These green mists were actually emitted by the nocturnal species killed by Lao Du and Lao Zhang, and now they were rushing towards them according to their "hatred value".
Old Zhang, who was sitting on the steps basking in the sun, glanced at the huge green mist and couldn't help but sneered. The next moment, the green mist came to his head.
Just as they were about to pour down, a large amount of sky blue steam suddenly gushed out of Lao Zhang's body like a Saiyan's explosion. The steam also surrounded him like clouds, and it looked like... he was protected by the sky blue mist in advance!
"It's this sky blue steam again!" Lin Yi widened his eyes in surprise. As soon as the sky blue steam appeared, it directly collided with the green mist that was falling head-on.
After a while, the green mist that could imprint the green mist mark was completely offset, but the sky blue steam around Lao Zhang also dimmed a lot, and the whole person seemed a little weak.
From an ordinary perspective, Lao Zhang was obviously sitting on the steps to rest in the sun, but he did not look well rested, and instead looked more tired.
Lao Du also dissipated the green mist that was entangled with him, and turned to look at Lao Zhang, and scolded with a smile: "You feel it, don't ignore the nocturnal species. If there are enough of them, they can still contaminate you. The number just now, plus the dozen or so human-shaped sculptures, is almost at your limit... If you are really accidentally contaminated by the above, be careful of a day trip to the basement."
"Damn it, don't scare me with the basement!" Even a muscular man like Lao Zhang still shuddered and felt a chill in his body when he heard the word "basement".
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll pay attention next time." He said quickly.
Old Du and Old Zhang started chatting idly, and Lin Yi was suddenly drawn back to his senses by a wave of anxious energy. He quickly turned his gaze away from Old Du and Old Zhang's movements and followed Tian Bufan to look towards the elevator.
As soon as he approached the elevator, Lin Yi felt a wave of heat coming towards him. The air around him seemed to still have some indescribable burnt smell left by the collective roasting of nocturnal species, just like some tea leaves were sprinkled on the meat during the roasting. Since Tian Bufan only played an "assisting" role in the operation of "eradicating" the nocturnal species, he did not get any green mist along the way.
Lin Yi's perspective also began to follow Tian Bufan into the elevator.
At first glance, there wasn't much unusual inside the elevator. Although the purebred nocturnal creatures had a rubbery body that looked slimy and soft, they did not secrete that disgusting mucus.
So the interior of the elevator looked very clean, and he looked at the row of buttons.
The button arrangement is quite simple, with the number sequence being "1 to 8". The button for the eighth floor is at the top, which is an "↑" button that is exactly the same as the one used for the dormitory elevator. There is also a red cover with a " " mark outside this button.
But unlike the elevator in the dormitory building, this cover does not look that secure, as if it has been opened and closed countless times.
"Are you disappointed? There aren't many things in the elevator." Lao Du said with a smile. Although he and Tian Bufan came here, he was not interested in the elevator. He was simply free and wanted to play the game of grilling nocturnal species.
But Tian Bufan did not come out. Instead, he held the elevator door with his hand to prevent it from closing immediately, and then stood there silently for a while.
Lao Du was puzzled: "Junior, isn't this the same as the elevator in the dormitory building? Do we need to look at it for so long?"
Tian Bufan smiled mysteriously: "Some things are not for me to see."
Lao Du: “???”
"Hiss... Junior Brother Tian, don't scare me!"
Lin Yi, who had just taken a look at the interior of the elevator and felt that there was nothing special about it, felt the hairs on his body stand up when he heard Tian Bufan's words.
"'Not for me'!"
"Fuck, isn't that just for me to see?!"
"Mr. Tian...did he predict that I would dream about him? No way?"
“Isn’t this possible?!”
Lin Yi observed the elevator again, trying to find some subtle clues in it. However, no matter how hard he looked, it was useless because this elevator was so ordinary.
But he was unwilling to give up, so he could only try his best to remember all the details in the elevator and find a way to imprint them in his mind, so that he could deduce them in "Minecraft" and look for clues again.
"The craftsmanship of this elevator seems to be quite high..." Tian Bufan suddenly praised, "Old Du, please shine some light for me."
"Lao Zhang, shine some light on Junior Brother Tian!"
Old Zhang turned around and said, "Xiao Li, shine some light on Junior Brother Tian!"
Xiao Li, who was not far away, was stunned for a moment. He looked around and found that no one was catching the ball. He could only curl his lips helplessly: "Here it comes..."
After saying that, he ran into the sun, panting, carrying the mirror, and reflected a beam of light into the elevator.
When the light shone on it, countless sparkling lines suddenly appeared on the inner wall of the elevator.
It's like there is a piece of transparent tape stuck on the glass. The edge of the transparent tape can only be seen at a specific reflective angle.
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly began to observe the patterns. However, the elevator made a "beep beep" warning sound because it had been open for a long time.
"It's about to be shut down! Junior Tian, come out quickly!" Lao Du suddenly said anxiously, then suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Move it to another floor!"
Tian Bufan frowned, took one last look at the interior of the elevator, and then quickly left the elevator.
The moment he left the elevator, he quickly pressed "6" on the elevator.
As Tian Bufan left, Lin Yi's perspective was also pulled out of the elevator.
"Which floor did you press?" Lao Du asked curiously.
"6nd Floor."
Lao Du opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time. Finally, he gave a thumbs up helplessly: "Okay... you are fucking awesome."
"Is there any problem?" Tian Bufan asked with a smile.
"Uh... no problem, it's all the same anyway." Lao Du shrugged, "Let's go, it's getting late, let's go have dinner together."
"We can go together on the road, but I have an appointment with my roommate."
"Introduce yourself to us?"
"The time has not come yet."
"All right……"
Lin Yi was about to follow Tian Bufan, but as soon as he took a step, the ground beneath his feet suddenly broke, and he fell to the ground...
"Is the ground collapsing? No! What is this...?"
He immediately discovered that there was no underground floor under the broken floor, and there was not even a floor at all. There was only endless thin clouds, and he... was falling!
This is the "transition animation" of the dream... Lin Yi seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't know which roommate the perspective would switch from Tian Bufan to next.
The clouds soon dissipated, and the feeling of being grounded returned to the soles of his feet. His vision quickly emerged from the clouds and he began to observe the surrounding environment.
But before he could start observing, what caught his eye was a lamp post with a very familiar design style.
His attention was immediately drawn to the numbers on the lamppost.
