Chapter 259 "Sorry, time is up."
[Take us away... Lin Yi...]
【Hahaha……】
【Let’s go together…Let’s go together…】
【hey-hey……】
"Walk?"
I'm leaving, if you have the ability, come and try.
Lin Yi was not absolutely sure that this plan was feasible, but he was more than 80% sure that it would succeed.
But here, as long as you have more than 50% confidence, it is extremely precious!
He then crouched on the steps by the flowing water, adjusted his breathing and mentality, and then looked at the time.
10: 43.
Determination showed in his eyes, and then he slowly straightened up, standing like a rock against the strong wind, little by little adapting to the feeling of being eroded by the wind, and then started to climb the stairs!
"puff!"
As he took a step, a splash of water instantly appeared under his feet.
His expression remained unchanged and he continued to climb the stairs.
He took each step with great difficulty, but he had no intention of stopping. He almost maintained the rhythm of climbing one step with one breath.
【Lin Yi...】
[Don’t waste your time… You can’t leave… You can’t leave…]
【Hey hey hey...】
【Take us with you...let's go together...let's go together...】
【hey-hey……】
The sound of the iron chains clanging in the wind kept beating out an evil rhythm, mixed with the devilish calls, like a disturbing song, constantly drilling into Lin Yi's ears...
"Want to use me?! Dream on! Dream on!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth, maintained his own pace, and kept climbing up the stairs.
But these steps seemed endless, with only a vague white light spot at the end in the distance, and the wind was still coming, pouring into here like sea water.
"Thirty-six!"
……
"Seventy-eight!"
……
Lin Yi silently recorded every step he took in his mind. He was already sweating profusely, but the clothes on his chest had long been dried by the wind. The fierce wind was like a pair of invisible hands, which seemed to stretch his body...
"Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety...nine..."
After taking the ninety-ninth step heavily, Lin Yi took a few breaths in place.
He glanced down at his watch.
10: 48.
"The timing is just right..." he muttered to himself.
Then, he glanced at the surroundings again.
"Sorry... time is up..." Lin Yi sneered in his heart, "One hundred steps... 5 minutes..."
"Goodbye."
He silently raised his foot. There were still endless steps in front of him. The white light seemed to be at the end of the sky, but a confident smile appeared on Lin Yi's lips.
The 100th step.
He muttered to himself, then looked down at his feet. His sight followed his shoes from the 99th step to the 100th step.
"Snapped."
It was a very steady step, and when the shoe landed on the ground, there was no splash of water.
The steps under his feet were normal, the same texture as the steps in the student passage, with no bumps or smooth surface, nor was it covered with running water. There was no strong wind in front of him, no sound of wind in his ears, and no weird and evil calling voice...
He slowly raised his head and saw Wei Liang's back in front of him. Everything was normal, as if Wei Liang had no idea what was going on.
But at this moment, he had already walked out of the student passage and arrived at the area in front of the student cafeteria.
Everything returned to normal. Everything that happened just now seemed like a nightmare. The only thing that could prove that it was not a dream was his soaked shoes and the reverse crew cut hairstyle that he had gotten for free and was blown by the wind.
Lin Yi quickly sat down on the ground, holding onto the wall. He was extremely happy, but he didn't have any strength to express his joy.
He succeeded!
He really did it!
Without using any existing anchor points, I got rid of that weird layer!
"My thoughts turned out to be correct!"
“‘Cognition’ is the underlying logic of anchoring! And the most stable anchor is not limited to ‘anchoring self-cognition’, but also ‘anchoring campus cognition’!”
what on earth is this kind of happenings?
The reason was that Lin Yi, who could only see Wei Liang's back, thought of the first time he encountered fog in the student passage, and Wei Liang said when he carried him out of the student passage at the most critical moment -
[“One hundred steps, no more, no less!”]
And that time, he checked the time before entering the student passage and after leaving!
It took a total of...more than 4 minutes!
It was precisely these two conditions that allowed Lin Yi to come to the "cognition" that "the student passage has a total of 100 steps, and it takes about 4 minutes to pass through it at a normal speed"!
That's right, facing this almost infinitely long layer trap, if you only want to chase the white light at the exit, then even if you die, the white light will be like an illusory mirage that you can't get.
And if I use information like "My name is Lin Yi, my student number is X0230506098, and I'm in the student passage of the cafeteria" to try to anchor myself back... first of all, I'm not sure if I can come back before my identity information is taken away, and whether I can really dig myself out of such a deep layer. Secondly, even if I come back, it's hard to say whether it's just "myself" who comes back.
In such an environment, the only thing Lin Yi could use was this "only anchor point" that was almost only effective for himself.
"I don't care how long your stairs are. I am 100% sure that I only need to climb a hundred steps to get out."
If that's not enough, then add another layer of time anchor.
For Lin Yi, this is the condition for leaving.
But for those humanoid sculptures that had been trapped in the layer for who knows how long, they absolutely could not understand Lin Yi's thoughts, so they could only watch Lin Yi disappear.
Too thin... Really too thin...
Unexpectedly, Wei Liang's unintentional sigh became the key clue for Lin Yi to break the deadlock.
"Oh my god..." Lin Yi was stunned for a moment when he thought of this. "By the way, why does Liangzi know the number of stairs here so well?"
"Could it be that... this is also the experience that Ryoko gained from his first visit here?"
"Or... has he encountered the same crisis I just had?"
If Wei Liang was just counting the steps out of boredom, then it would be fine. But if he had encountered such a crisis before... Lin Yi took a deep breath. He must not have known this method at that time, so how did he escape? !
Lin Yi's thoughts were floating, looking at Wei Liang beside him, thoughts came to his mind one after another. Suddenly, Wei Liang laughed out loud.
“Oh my god…hahahaha…hahahahaha—Old Lin, you, you you…” Wei Liang pointed at Lin Yi, his body trembling, with a look of not being able to laugh. “What’s with this hairstyle? Did someone smear a mop on your face? Hahahaha…cough cough…cough cough cough…”
Wei Liang held his belly, hunched over, and smiled like a stick.
Lin Yi was also speechless, but he had no time to argue with Wei Liang. He just kept breathing heavily, his eyes fixed on the exit of the student passage, watching the interns coming out of the passage one by one, in silence.
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a chill on his back and a creepy feeling arose in his heart for no reason.
Almost subconsciously, he glanced behind him quickly.
But there was nothing behind him.
"You're here again?" Wei Liang was startled by Lin Yi. "Did you not sleep well? Why are you so suspicious?"
"Are you suffering from paranoia?"
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm fine."
"Okay, you know yourself best. If you say it's okay, then it's okay." Wei Liang shrugged, "But if you have any problems, remember to tell me in advance..."
"Hmm..." Lin Yi felt warm in his heart and nodded with emotion. He didn't expect that before this guy finished speaking, the next sentence was: "I will help you report to Teacher Lin, and by the way, I can also feel the ten minutes of love between you and me..."
Lin Yi: “…”
I treat you as a brother, and you treat me as a token of allegiance???
Excessive!
Just then, a person walked out from the student passage. It was Tian Bufan.
As soon as Tian Bufan came out, he greeted Lin Yi.
Lin Yi also hurried over and said, "Only Wei Sang and Kuai Kuai are missing."
"Don't worry about him, Kuai Kuai, just wait for Wei Sang."
"Okay, let's talk first?"
"No problem. What progress have you made?" Tian Bufan asked.
Lin Yi quickly said: "Don't talk about this for now, I have another question."
"What do you want to ask?"
"I remember you took a digital camera last night. I'm curious what you captured?"
Hearing this, Tian Bufan sighed helplessly: "You are talking about this... Alas..."
"what's wrong?"
"I checked it as soon as I woke up, but unfortunately, I didn't see much key information." Tian Bufan said, "In order to take more pictures, I replaced a battery before turning it on, but unfortunately I still forgot one thing... The camera has limited memory, so it only took more than 40 minutes to shoot before it stopped automatically."
"That Pan Jian had already used up some of the memory before entering the school."
When Lin Yi heard this, he sighed with a bit of regret: "So...how much did you take pictures of?"
"I pointed my digital camera at the dormitory door, wanting to take a picture of the dorm manager...but I finished taking the picture before I could see him." Tian Bufan was also speechless.
"But the dormitory manager didn't enter the dormitory until around 2 o'clock. Even if the camera has enough memory, it probably won't be able to shoot for that long." Lin Yi consoled, "Did you take the rest of the photos?"
"I filmed the scene where the dormitory flipped over. It's almost the same as what Weisang said. Also, if you turn the volume up to the maximum, you can hear some strange... noises."
"Noise?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up, "Do you have it with you? Let me see it."
Tian Bufan reached into his pocket and tossed a digital camera to Lin Yi: "You left it in the dormitory, so you only have this camera with you. But I don't recommend you to look at it now. After dinner, go back to the classroom and take your time to look at it."
"My homeroom teacher told me to go to the gym right after dinner." Lin Yi said as he put away his digital camera and gave up the idea of watching it at this time.
"Oh?" Tian Bufan couldn't help but narrow his eyes, but then nodded slightly, "This is a good opportunity to explore the gymnasium... At least, there are more opportunities for exploration."
"I'll try my best..." Lin Yi pursed his lips.
Tian Bufan asked again: "What happened to you that made the head teacher give such advice?"
Lin Yi said, "The head teacher suspected that I had attracted the attention of something. After thinking about it, I thought that maybe Maozi had been stained with the mark of 'He-I' and then gave me some of the 'effect'."
"From the perspective of pollution transmission, it is not impossible, but if so, we should all have that kind of problem." Tian Bufan pondered.
"Yes!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up, "Did you encounter any problems?"
"Not yet... maybe it's a problem in the cognitive field?"
"Or is it some other reason... For example, the effect of the mark transmitted is not enough, or it has dissipated and is not enough to affect me?"
"There is not enough information to make an accurate judgment." Tian Bufan shook his head.
Lin Yi said: "Okay... But the class teacher seems to call 'He-I' an "angel", which seems to be different from Mu Daxian's description..."
Tian Bufan said: "Just like we call the three levels of Him 'Him-I', 'Him-II', and 'Him-III', other people must have different names for them."
"Besides, this actually illustrates a problem..."
Tian Bufan's perspective was something Lin Yi had never thought of. Lin Yi asked in surprise, "What's the problem?"
"That is, perhaps the class teacher and art students do not have a clear understanding of the concept of "angel". What exactly is an "angel"? "
"What does its observable form look like?"
“What is its form of existence?”
"Why do the homeroom teacher and the art student describe "angel" differently? It may be because... the boundaries of "angel" are very vague. To a certain extent, what we think of as 'Him-I' may be an "angel"..."
Lin Yi was reminded and became more spirited: "What you said makes sense! Just like everyone's physique is different, 'He-I' may also have a pollution range! And the lower limit of this range may be 'Angel'!"
"I know this too well!" Wei Liang couldn't help but interrupt, "There's a black-skinned elf in "Black X Beast". Sometimes she can't handle a 1V1 fight with a lord, but sometimes she can 1V the entire screen and bring along those male units that don't appear in the shadows! Her contamination range is extremely wide!"
Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and his forehead was covered with black lines: "No... Can't you give me some examples from the world of the living?"
"Ah? Is there a problem?" Wei Liang was stunned.
"Forget it... no problem." Lin Yi held his forehead with his hand, but he seemed to be thinking about something.
As a small group, they named many of their concepts themselves. Fortunately, one or two names were the same as the definitions given by the campus and the mysterious company, but the vast majority of the concepts were still not unified.
Therefore, whether it is "non-human classmates" or "He-I", they are first given a definition within a small group, and then replaced after the "widely known" definition is obtained.
Tian Bufan didn't know what Lin Yi was thinking, so he asked, "What about you? Did you find anything this morning?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I handed the paper to the class teacher, and the class teacher showed me the sign-in record of Song Rentou's last visit."
"Is there any clue in this sign-in record?" Tian Bufan asked.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly: "There are very few clues... but we can't say there are none."
Thanks to the book friend "usjdnshhs" for the reward!!
Add 200 words briefly.
PS: I dare say that no one would have thought of this way to break the deadlock!
