Chapter 237 Under the Pebbles

He discovered that there seemed to be some red and white mixed substance flowing in the cracks between the pebbles. In order to observe more carefully, he slowly bent down and moved his face closer to the pebbles.

At this moment, these pebbles are like gummy bears, undergoing some indescribable distortion as the layers change, but the speed is not fast, so at first glance there is no sense of explosion that one's cognition cannot keep up with.

He discovered that the gaps between the pebbles became larger as they twisted to varying degrees.

In this blank area, there seems to be a magma-like substance flowing.

“Eh… what is this?”

As soon as he asked this question, a faint smell entered his nostrils.

"......?!" Lin Yi's pupils suddenly froze, and then he jumped up from the ground as if by reflex.

"The smell of blood!"

He smelled a smell of blood that was covered by the earthy smell of soil and the scent of grass and trees!

But this kind of bloody smell was not the smell of blood at first, but the smell of fresh tomatoes being cut.

And because it was the smell of tomatoes, Lin Yi didn't notice anything at first. He just thought of it as a natural scent mixed with the air and didn't feel anything strange about it.

But when the bloody smell in the tomatoes was gradually decomposed by Lin Yi's sense of smell, the nauseating smell was like small raindrops that penetrated every pore and slowly enveloped him.

He won't feel anything at first, but when he realizes it, it means the storm has already submerged him.

At this moment, he discovered that as the cobblestone road twisted, the magma-like blood did not turn into white plaster-like substance under the sun, but continued to flow, as if covered with a layer of golden glow.

This layer of golden light gradually began to show another color in Lin Yi's current "vision" -

"Blue... this?!"

He had seen green mist coming out of ketchup several times, which then turned into white powdery particles and dissipated in the wind, but... this was the first time he had seen blue steam coming out of ketchup!
The blue-gold luster produced by the interaction with the golden glow of the sun easily reminds people of a guy playing with grass.

The ketchup with sky blue steam did not become a sculpture in the sunlight. Instead, the flowing feeling looked like magma or even boiling gold.

Lin Yi was stunned by this scene, but what shocked him even more was yet to come.

He discovered that when the ketchup was flowing, it actually seemed to consciously flow to a certain contact point. There was more than one such contact point. He saw three in his "field of vision" alone, and the closest one was right next to him...? !

“That’s…?”

What did Lin Yi see? !

He saw the contact point...it was actually a lamppost!
Ketchup obtained a supply of extraordinary power from the sunlight, which was then injected into the lamppost, and then climbed up along the lamppost. Finally... all the sky blue breath was injected into the light bulb under the lampshade!
"Could this be... the energy source of the 'light'?!"

"The sun... contains extraordinary power?"

And that blue supernatural power... is surprisingly similar to the power displayed by the athlete on the side. No, it may be of the same origin or of the same nature!
Daytime is our home

Xu Shunkang's words shot out like a boomerang on May 5, drew an arc in the air, and accurately hit Lin Yi at this moment.

"'Ketchup' is the form of 'blood' that is manifested after its cognition is overwritten... So even if it looks like the same ketchup, it will show two different directions of 'being restrained by sunlight' and 'being able to absorb sunlight' due to the different characteristics of the supernatural power contained in it!"

Are athletes really superhuman and able to charge themselves with solar energy?

But from a scientific perspective…isn’t moonlight also reflected sunlight?
Why is night the home turf for nocturnal species?

While Lin Yi found some interim answers, he also discovered new questions.

It's like when sunlight is reflected by a mirror, its aggressiveness to nocturnal creatures decreases a lot. Could it be that the middleman is really a vampire who can consume so many extraordinary characteristics at once?
At the same time, Lin Yi also discovered that the "malice" at the beginning had become extremely thin at this moment, and it felt like it was covered by a quilt.

"That malice... it came fast and furiously, but it was gone in an instant, like a thunderstorm. Now I can no longer feel it."

Lin Yi seemed to be lost in thought, unable to figure out the reason.

"Could it be the 'napkin effect'? That kind of malice comes from another layer? And the 'place' I sensed has been covered by ketchup emitting sky blue mist, so that kind of malice can't invade?"

"The extraordinary power represented by 'blue' is indeed something that can directly suppress the strange atmosphere in the campus..."

He seemed to have figured something out, so he looked around.

At first glance, he really discovered that along the entire cobblestone road, as the layers twisted and stretched, the area of ​​​​the magma-like tomato sauce exposed in the cracks would also increase.

As the exposed area increases, the originally faint breath will turn into sky blue steam, permeating the entire road at a level that ordinary people cannot observe, and constantly spreading in all directions.

The coverage of the sky blue steam diluted the force that caused the layer to distort, and the gap began to shrink again.

It can be said that the existence of this magma-like ketchup hidden under the cobblestone road layer limits the collapse and falling of the layer, and firmly confines the cafeteria layer within a "safe" range.

A very magical linear relationship.

——At least, that's the case during the day when the sun is shining.

But it is also conceivable that at night when the sunlight is greatly reduced, ketchup will not be able to efficiently produce this sky-blue steam, and the fall of the layer will become an inevitable result.

After realizing this, he slowly adjusted his breathing and consciously withdrew from the state of "my vision", intending to tell everyone about this discovery immediately.

As his vision faded, the sky-blue steam he could observe gradually dimmed, and the smell of blood was once again covered by the smell of earth.

The sunlight on his body began to emit a warm breath, and Lin Yi felt as if he had returned to the human world from the gray world.

He glanced down at his watch.

6: 48.

The "perception" just now didn't seem to take up too much of his time.

There is a feeling that time is stretched out.

"What do you mean?" Tian Bufan asked.

"I have a very amazing discovery, just now..." Lin Yi told his discovery. Tian Bufan frowned slightly after hearing it.

"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Lin Yi asked puzzledly.

Tian Bufan said: "This discovery is very interesting... However, I thought you would find clues related to "malice"."

Lin Yi wanted to shake his head, but Tian Bufan's words made him realize something: "Have you discovered something? Or... do you have an idea?"

"What other ideas do you have? Didn't I just say it?" Tian Bufan said, "Since the malicious intent has faded, it means it is not in this layer. I thought you would look for this layer..."

"Ah? Mr. Tian, ​​do you think too highly of me? Can I actively look for layers?" Lin Yi said in surprise, thinking to himself, how the hell didn't he know that I have this ability?

"You just said that if you lose a layer, this and that will happen. I thought that's what you meant." Tian Bufan said speechlessly, "It seems that I overestimated you."

"..." Lin Yi was simply silenced.

Brother, I am talking about self-protection, why do you think I am talking about means?

But...wait, back on topic...

Lin Yi thought again, the root of the problem seems to be... the perception of layers?
"Master Tian already thinks that I can sense the 'layers'? Is he so confident in me?"

Lin Yi actually felt a sense of loss for not meeting the teacher's expectations during the final exam...

"The inspiration I have is not enough to support me to explore the layers... But since you can't do it now, forget it." Tian Bufan said calmly, "You still need to continue to 'adapt'."

"I'm already like this, haven't I 'adapted' well enough?" Lin Yi was a little confused. Compared to May 5th, he had improved so much.

Tian Bufan glanced at it calmly and said, "First graders have their own requirements, and sixth graders have their own standards... If you use your first grade level to take the second grade test, you will only get a failure."

Lin Yi was stunned: "You mean... my adaptation speed is not up to your requirements?"

"That's not my requirement." Tian Bufan said, "But... there is indeed a standard."

"Is it to deal with the 'Gray Fog Invasion'?" Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "Master Tian, ​​have you known about the 'Gray Fog Invasion' for a long time?"

"I've said before that the information I know was also revealed bit by bit." Tian Bufan said, "But there is no doubt that some of the concepts must have been in my mind for a long time, but for some reason, even I can only acquire them slowly..."

"Yes, but I didn't know about the 'Gray Mist Invasion'... But when you mentioned this concept just now, I seemed to suddenly 'remember' some related information."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up: "What kind of information is it?"

"It doesn't matter what it looks like for now... We need to find out what that "malice" was all about." Tian Bufan glanced at Wei Liang, "Why can't some people sense the malice, but we are the only ones who can?"

“This shows that this “malice” has a target.”

"We don't know why we became their 'target'."

"Lao Lin... this goes against my exploration plan."

"In my plan, we shouldn't attract... at least, we shouldn't attract the attention of something right now. This will make our exploration more difficult."

"So, even if we can't find the source of the 'malice', at least we can't be completely ignorant of it." Tian Bufan emphasized seriously, "We can be at a disadvantage, but we can't be at a disadvantage without knowing why. If we find the cause, we can take precautions in advance."

Lin Yi nodded, but his mood couldn't help but become a little heavy.

The few of them continued to move forward on the cobblestone road, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment as they walked.

Only Wei Liang, with a thick nerve, was still quickening his pace, which really showed that ignorance is courage.

"Lao Lin, you guys walk so slowly. If it were dinner time, by the time you get to the cafeteria at a snail's pace, the street lights will be on. You won't even have enough time to steal something from the canteen, let alone eat!"

Wei Liang patted the lamppost beside him speechlessly, with an expression as if he wanted to thank the lamp he was waiting for.

But his action inadvertently drew Lin Yi's attention to the lamppost next to him.

"Liangzi!" Lin Yi suddenly shouted, and then rushed over as if he had discovered something.

"Fuck, Lao Lin, what are you doing?!" Wei Liang's anus tightened and he hugged the street lamp tightly in fear.

"Stop hugging it, that lamppost has no number!" Lin Yi's target was the lamppost. As soon as he opened his mouth, he scared Wei Liang so much that he pushed the lamppost away, like a ruthless scumbag.

Lin Yi rushed to the lamppost and observed it again and again: "This is it! This is it!"

"W-what?" Wei Liang was frightened by Lin Yi's action. He wanted to touch him because he was nervous, but he didn't dare to.

"Master Tian, ​​keep an eye on me! I seem to have found that 'evil'!" Lin Yi reached out and lightly touched the lamppost, and then suddenly as if he thought of something, he squatted down, following the method of Mu Daxian pushing away the weeds in his dream, and found a string of numbers on the base.

「Canteen-051」

"'Cafeteria-051', it's indeed a numbered lamp post." Lin Yi muttered to himself, "The number on this lamp post was erased by the new pseudo-human intern yesterday!"

"so……"

He crossed the lamp post and walked out of the area of ​​cobblestone roads.

"Old Lin! What the hell are you doing?!" Wei Liang became anxious when he saw it. He didn't care whether Lin Yi was crazy or not. He rushed over, grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"Are you possessed by a ghost? Be careful not to slip into the green forest belt!" Wei Liang scolded fearfully, with some genuine worry in his eyes.

Lin Yi said: "Liangzi, I'm fine. Besides, there's a flat ground ahead, don't worry."

"Damn, is this flat ground? Isn't there a small slope over there? Are you...really distracted?" Wei Liang subconsciously reached out and touched Lin Yi's forehead.

But Lin Yi's face turned pale and he turned his head abruptly to look at the lamppost next to him.

There was indeed no flat ground beyond the weeds surrounding the lamppost, but rather... a small slope!
He just...had a misunderstanding!
