Chapter 235 “Him I” “Him II” “Him III”
Chapter 235 "Him-I" "Him-II" "Him-III"
Tian Bufan's words made Lin Yi have many guesses at once, but he quickly shook his head.
Now is not the time to ponder.
"Forget it, this is just my guess." Tian Bufan also shook his head, "There are too few clues about the Night Watchman. Wait until you have a few more dreams and then see."
"Do you have any clues about Maozi? What else did he experience?" Tian Bufan asked.
Lin Yi said: "Maozi... was a bit unlucky. He attracted the pursuit of the angel sculpture."
Tian Bufan's expression was a little unnatural, but he still said: "Well... if it's him, it's good to be unlucky."
"what?"
"After all, he has... a 'cheap air' about him."
"'Sword Qi'?"
"What a cheapskate." Wei Shan, who looked honest, said, "When everyone is busy, no one will notice it, but when everyone has free time, people can't help but want to beat him up."
Lin Yi's mouth twitched: "The Maozi's mouth is indeed a bit mean..."
"Please continue." Tian Bufan said.
Lin Yi adjusted his mindset and continued, "Before talking about the "Angel Sculpture", I have to introduce you to a few unit concepts that are even more difficult to describe specifically than the "Angel Sculpture."
Tian Bufan nodded with interest: "You talk, I'm listening."
Wei Shan looked at this scene and smiled naively.
When Kuai Hongji saw this, he couldn't help but reach out and touch Wei Shan.
Wei Shan quickly stopped smiling.
At this moment, even Lin Yi himself did not realize that the dialogue between him and Tian Bufan was like a complete change of offense and defense compared to the discussion on the night of May 5.
Tian Bufan became the one who listened.
"First of all, according to Mu Daxian, the thing we call a 'concept-level sculpture' is not actually a 'sculpture', but rather a conceptual life form..."
"The great hermit called him 'Him'..."
"However, Mu Daxian mentioned several 'Him'. I roughly understood three kinds of 'Him'."
"The first type is what we call 'conceptual sculpture'..."
"The second one is in the deep sea of the art floor layer, the 'source of the gray fog'..."
"The third type is an existence that completely transcends our dimension. To us, it is like an ant and a giant, some kind of extraordinary existence above the world..."
"These three types are more advanced than the other, but even if it's just the first type, once it enters the campus, it will cause a catastrophic blow to the campus..."
"In comparison, the Angel Sculpture is a unit whose status is not even as good as the first type of "Him". Of course, despite this, the Angel Sculpture is still not something that ordinary athletes and art students can compete with, and this is also reflected in the gymnasium rules."
"Moreover, I heard from Mu Daxian that between the first type of 'He' and the angel sculpture, there seems to be a more confusing level, which Mu Daxian called 'Angel'."
"And the strange thing is that according to the description of Class Teacher-039, the security guards fought off the "Angel" on the night of the 6th."
“But from our senses, it seemed that the one who entered the classroom was… the first kind of ‘He’.”
"I don't know if it's because I mistook 'Angel' for the first type of 'Him', or if it's some other reason, but this is very strange..."
Tian Bufan nodded slightly: "If you are not sure, don't try it for now, but the term 'the first type of Him', 'the second type of Him' is too difficult to understand. In order to distinguish these three types and facilitate our discussion later, I suggest naming them 'He-I', 'He-II', and 'He-III'."
"It seems better to just use 'X', 'Y', 'Z'?" Lin Yi whispered.
"That's too uncool. Besides, you're going to merge into 'XYZ-Dragon Cannon'? If that's the case, why not call it Blue-Eyes White Dragon? Maybe their eyes can glow blue?" Wei Liang complained in a low voice.
"Emmmm...If you say so, can they really merge together?" Lin Yi couldn't help but think about Wei Liang's words.
Wei Liang's face changed. "Fuck, Lao Lin, can you please listen to the main point? I was complaining about the name, not about the combination. Bro, with your comprehension ability, it's really hard for me to watch the same H-manga with you!"
"Well...but Liangzi..." Lin Yi suddenly realized something.
"What's wrong?" Wei Liang asked angrily.
"Liangzi, you...you were actually listening today?" Lin Yi looked surprised.
"What are you listening to? It's so weird, I can't understand it at all." Wei Liang was stunned.
"You not only listened, but also... participated in our communication?"
Although he only made a complaint, Lin Yixin said.
Wei Liang was stunned at first, and then his movements slowly froze.
"Ah? Eh! Oh oh oh, look at me!"
Finally he clapped his hands.
"Hey, this, this, this... I accidentally forgot, hehehe..."
After saying that, he covered his ears with his hands and showed Tom Cat's flattering smile.
"You guys chat, you guys chat, the Shenlong Cannon is the Shenlong Cannon, aba aba aba..."
Lin Yi: “…”
"Liangzi, if it really doesn't work, then just..."
"Abba, Ababa, Abba..."
"Liangzi..."
"Fuck, why are you barking?! I'm already barking like a dog! Barking like a dog..."
Lin Yi: “…”
"Okay..." Lin Yi shrugged helplessly and continued, "Angels are lower in status than 'Him-I', but I don't know how to distinguish between 'Angels' and 'Him-I'."
“And below the ‘Angel’ is the ‘Angel Sculpture’.”
Tian Bufan nodded slightly and continued to listen. Lin Yi then explained the concepts of the three angel sculptures: the Smiley Angel, the Wrathful Angel, and the Alien Angel according to his impressions...
"Angel sculptures seem to often appear with 'He-I'... They are attracted by some creatures with extraordinary powers around them. To me, they are like patrol boats of a spaceship. They surround the spaceship like a guard and fly out to hunt..."
"The three different angel sculptures have different characteristics, just like hunting ships targeting different prey..."
Tian Bufan stroked his chin and muttered, "Strange smile... rage... alien... it's a brand new concept, quite interesting."
Lin Yi said: "On the evening of May 5, Maozi followed Mu Daxian through the Green Forest Belt to the cafeteria. On the way, he accidentally got infected with the aura of 'He-I' and became the target of the Laughing Angels. That night, he attracted the attacks of 7 Laughing Angels..."
"Mu Daxian used the student commemorative coins and the fake human sculpture to anchor the fake human sculpture into Maozi, attracting the attack of the Laughing Angel for them, and saved them from danger on the first night..."
"It's a pity that on the night of the 7th, the elevator was full of smiling angels. Mu Daxian was not well prepared and couldn't go back to the art building with Mao Zi. He hid with Mao Feiyang for the whole night... Speaking of which, the methods of art students are really amazing, like Ma Liang's magic brush."
While Lin Yi was sighing, he described Mu Daxian's operation of overwriting space, and was amazed.
"On the 8th, when they arrived at the cafeteria, they had breakfast... and then went to the canteen to get the student commemorative coins."
"Oh, right, they took other passages. The cafeteria entered from other passages seems to be on two levels from the cafeteria entered from the student passage. It feels to me like... like..."
He was describing and pondering at the same time, but he always felt that his description was a little unclear and lacked flavor. The layered feeling seemed difficult to describe in words.
At the critical moment, it was Tian Bufan who came up with an explanation: "Is it 'napkin'?"
"Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned.
Tian Bufan pondered and said, "What you said makes me feel like 'napkin paper'."
"The paper towels on the market can be torn into three thin layers. If you write, the writing will penetrate these three layers of paper towels. No matter which layer of paper towel the ink appears on, it will quickly penetrate into the other layers, affecting the three layers..."
“Could the layers in the cafeteria be the superposition of several thin layers of paper towels?”
"The cafeterias entered through different channels are on different layers, and the cafeteria itself has another layer... When people interact with each other inside the cafeteria, the layers penetrate each other."
"So the cafeteria rules only say not to interact with strangers, but they don't mention familiar people."
Lin Yi showed a look of sudden realization: "I understand. In this regard, the so-called 'strangers' do not refer to strangers in a simple sense. They include all units except 'familiar people'..."
"Because most of the people who are subject to the rules are students who have undergone experience, in order to protect their cognition, we cannot directly name concepts such as 'pseudo-humans', 'green bib chefs', 'nocturnal species', etc... so we just cut them off."
Lin Yi has realized that the "one-size-fits-all" approach is not just reflected in the code of conduct. Physical education students and teachers also follow this approach when treating experience students. It seems that they all assume that the role of experience students here is very limited, so they do not need to be exposed to anything related to "core cognition".
Indeed, what can you do in seven days?
But from another perspective...what can we do in seven days?
Lin Yi was slightly stunned for a moment, then continued Tian Bufan's statement, thinking: "Because people who are familiar with each other are on the same layer, and 'strangers' are on another layer, so as long as we 'ignore' their existence, or even ignore their communication requests, the ink will not be able to penetrate into the layer we are in... In this way, there will be no 'interaction'."
It seems that some of the underlying logic within the cafeteria has been figured out in this way.
"In that case..." Lin Yi seemed to be thinking, "If the green hats are not on the same level as us, then when they come out of the No. 10 purchase window, should we ignore them?"
"The cafeteria rules say that after putting down the tray, leave immediately, "don't look back, don't respond...even if you feel that he is about to catch up with you"...so they are not on the same level as us, so in principle, they can't touch us at all?"
Tian Bufan said: "If the underlying logic is like this, then whether we can access it depends on the layer we are in... But how can you guarantee that you will not fail at the critical moment? If you accidentally fail the layer, it will be fun."
Lin Yi shrank his neck: "I'm just talking..."
Even so, after "knowing", he was not so afraid of the green bib chef anymore, but speaking of fear... he seemed to have not felt much fear of the green bib chef since yesterday.
Compared to high-end products like the Smiley Angel, the green-bibbed chef is like a circus clown, with a fierce look on his face but it seems that... he has never gotten any benefits from Wei Shan.
Even Wei Liang seemed to be able to play them back and forth.
"It's okay to talk, but it's better not to be careless." Tian Bufan glanced at him and said, "The green bib chef must have some secrets that we don't know. A group of units without combat effectiveness can exist until now, so they must have their own unique strengths."
Lin Yi clapped his hands: "Speaking of this... I remember that the green bib chef is very contaminating, just like the zombie virus. The threat of an individual is far less than the threat it carries."
Tian Bufan affirmed: "So, we should try to avoid direct contact with the green bib chefs. It is better to treat them as hedgehogs."
Lin Yi nodded, but he suddenly remembered that even Mu Daxian seemed to try his best to avoid direct conflict with the chef in the green bib. In comparison, Wei Shan and Wei Liang... seemed to be much more direct.
"That's not right, Wei Sang, how did you deal with the cuckold at that time?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
Wei Shan asked in confusion: "You mean the green bib chef?"
"correct."
Wei Shan shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I'm just thick-skinned? Or... I'm stupid? I can't understand what you're talking about?"
Lin Yi frowned and thought for a while. He felt that the reason should not be on the physical level, but since Wei Sang himself couldn't explain it clearly, he decided not to delve into it for the time being.
There is a kind of stupidity in Wei Shan, or you could say he is "blind", "brainless", or even "wild". Compared to Tian Bufan who uses his brain, Wei Shan relies more on primitive instincts to do things... He has the aura of a barbarian.
So talking to Wei Shan about this... is like talking to a cow.
Because we don’t understand anything, we are immune to pollution?
Lin Yi was unsure, but Wei Shan's performance made him believe it.
As they were talking, they gradually left the dormitory area and entered the cafeteria area.
But just as they stepped over "Dormitory Building-001" and entered the area divided by the lamp posts of "Canteen-001", an unnatural smell covered them like a film.
"咈..." Wei Shan suddenly lowered his body, exhaling a trace of hot air from between his teeth. Like a bear that had sensed a crisis, he looked around vigilantly.
Lin Yi's steps suddenly stopped and his body tensed up.
He held his breath and reached out to quietly brush across his arm, slowly smoothing out the goose bumps.
"Wesang..."
"Something's wrong, Lao Lin." Wei Shan's throat rolled slightly and he made a low voice, "Reconfirm... Is this the cafeteria area?"
"It's the cafeteria for sure..." Tian Bufan glanced at the lamppost beside him. The number on the lamppost was indeed "Cafe-001" written in white paint.
"If it's the cafeteria, that means..."
Lin Yi and Tian Bufan looked at each other, and their expressions became solemn.
"There's a problem with the area where the cafeteria is located!"
Thanks to the book friend "usjdnshhs" for the reward!!
I have been a bit busy at work these days, so I will just add 200 words today.
