Chapter 264 Ambush
Chapter 264 Ambush
The building rules included a map with a route that led directly from the cafeteria area to the gymnasium.
"I suggest you go straight over there while the sun is shining brightly." Tian Bufan said, and then asked, "You don't have anything to say, right?"
Lin Yi pursed his lips: "Almost..."
"That's it, I'll go try your decryption method." Tian Bufan said, "We can talk about it in PE class if we have a chance."
"Okay." Lin Yi nodded.
Seeing that Wei Shan wanted to follow Lin Yi, Tian Bufan stopped him: "Wei Sang, let's go back to the classroom first."
Wei Shan obviously hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Tian Bufan's eyes, he didn't continue.
Wei Liang laughed and said, "I won't go back to the classroom. I'm going to the gym to meet the boss and ask him to arrange a female gym student for me and teach me 'bong dong bong dong' step by step~"
He did a breaststroke, but for some reason he looked like a wretched Master Roshi.
"Okay, let's go directly to the gymnasium." Lin Yi was not vague and decisively said goodbye to Tian Bufan, then found the "Gymnasium-001" street lamp pole at a corner of the road near the "Canteen-001" street lamp pole...
It is strange to say, the "Gymnasium-001" lamppost is not easy to find, at least its location is opposite to Teaching Building A. However, as long as you come to the "Gymnasium-001" lamppost, you can only see the teaching building area, and you cannot see the cafeteria building at all. You can only find the "Canteen-001" lamppost in a limited area to determine the location of the cafeteria area.
Looking at the backs of Lin Yi and Wei Liang who had completely left the cafeteria area, passed the "Gymnasium-001" street lamp pole and entered the gymnasium area, Wei Shan looked at Tian Bufan in confusion: "Master Tian, why don't you let me follow them?"
"Do you think I don't know?" Tian Bufan lowered his voice, "Follow me to the teaching building first, and don't show any abnormality."
Wei Shan was a bit naive and honest, but he was smart. Seeing this, he nodded, then followed Tian Bufan into the teaching building area and walked towards it.
After only a few steps, Tian Bufan said, "I know that Lao Lin is being followed by a fake art student."
"It's the guy with the bandages." Wei Shan narrowed his eyes, murderous intent surging between his slits, "It followed us as soon as we left the student passage... It hid in the green belt, but its malicious intent was like the smell of stinky feet wafting over with the fragrance of grass and trees, which was impossible to ignore!"
"I can follow Lao Lin and ambush him. Once he comes over, I can kill him directly. Maybe I can even get some information about him."
Tian Bufan shook his head slightly, not denying Wei Shan's fighting ability, but analyzed from another perspective: "First of all, even if we can get information out, it may not be credible... Secondly, you don't have to do it, let Lao Lin get used to the attack mode of the pseudo-human artist."
"In the future...sooner or later, I will have to deal with them."

X023年5月9日，11：56，「体育馆-001」路灯杆附近。
As soon as he entered the gymnasium area, Lin Yi felt a strange feeling in his heart. It was an indescribable feeling of discomfort that enveloped him as soon as he entered this area, but he was unable to detect what the problem was for a while.
This silent change is like someone turning down the air conditioner by one degree.
Wei Liang surprisingly did not yell at Lin Yi to hurry up, but instead imitated Lin Yi's actions and furtively observed the surrounding environment.
"Something's wrong..." Lin Yi muttered softly.
"It feels like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it..." Wei Liang said puzzledly.
"It seems... the temperature is a little low?"
Wei Liang pondered for a moment: "The stadium is located at a lower level, and this section of the mountain road is downhill, so it's a little dark, and the temperature is lower... This seems normal, huh?"
"What you said is true." Lin Yi took a look at the sky. He didn't know if it was a psychological feeling, but he always felt that the clear sky gave him a depressing feeling for some reason, as if it was covered with a layer of plastic wrap.
"Wait for me." Lin Yi said as he returned to the teaching building area along the original route, and then returned to the gymnasium area from the teaching building area.
When passing the border, he felt it carefully and found that he was indeed moving from the light-facing area to the light-backed area, but... wasn't the temperature difference a bit too big?
"It's probably affected by the coating a bit... Let's go to the gym first." Lin Yi muttered, not wanting to stay any longer. He just wanted to get to the gym quickly, fearing that if he continued to worry about it, some charming little accident would happen accidentally.
The cobblestone road leading to the gymnasium is winding, surrounded by scattered lamp posts and green belts planted with camphor trees. Deep inside, it is obscured by towering trees and thick fog. The light inside is mottled and there is a chilly atmosphere.
After walking a little further, when they reached the sign in front of the stadium, the road behind them had become invisible, and the only thing left in their field of vision was the stadium complex that looked like eggs with dried tofu.
As we passed the sign, a faint smell of moisture began to permeate the air around us.
It is noon now and the sun should be shining brightly, but only a few rays of sunlight actually reach the gymnasium area. The dull sky and humid environment make people feel like they are standing in a bathhouse wearing dry clothes in spring or autumn.
Even the gymnasium ahead seemed to have an indescribable weird feeling.
"Liangzi, do you think we might have taken the wrong path?" Lin Yi asked in a low voice.
Wei Liang shook his head and said, "Don't be so suspicious. There's no such thing as a wrong way. It's just that the weather is a little bad! Let's go to the gymnasium!"
After hearing what Wei Liang said, Lin Yi understood something. Indeed... the "doubt" of a clear will and the "doubt" of a weak will are essentially the same sense of doubt, and doubt can easily loosen the impeccable cognitive defense.
Lin Yi then calmed down a little and continued walking towards the gymnasium with Wei Liang on the cobblestone road.
The road is not long, just a little winding. You can get there just by following the stadium.
But after walking for a while, Lin Yi felt something was wrong again and quickly called Wei Liang: "Liangzi, wait a minute!"
He quickly squatted down and took a look at the cobblestone road under his feet. This sight made him feel an invisible horror!
The pebbles...are twisted!
"I knew there was a problem!" Lin Yi's face suddenly turned ugly, "Liangzi, come here quickly, there is something wrong with this road!"
When he raised his eyes, he found that Wei Liang seemed not to have heard what he said, and he walked away unknowingly.
"Tsk!" Lin Yi spat inwardly and quickly ran over, shouting as he ran, "Liangzi, Liangzi! Don't go yet! Wait a moment!"
But Wei Liang couldn't hear him at all and kept walking forward.
Lin Yi became more and more anxious and could not help but quicken his pace, but he was unaware that the whole world around him seemed to be distorted and trembling.
After running a few steps, he realized something was wrong and looked around quickly. However, the world around him seemed to be in a funhouse mirror, expanding, contracting, and distorting in an illogical way...
Part of the surrounding green belt was stretched out like a balloon, while another part sank as if glass was hit by a tap.
The cobblestone road under Lin Yi's feet became as smooth as a Dove silk ribbon. Every pebble changed its shape, extending its shape like a gummy bear, filling up the gaps on the entire road...
What was even more bizarre was that when Lin Yi turned his attention to the sky, he discovered that even the sky had turned into an abstract cartoon, with thick clouds floating there like bubbles...
But it would be fine if it was blue sky with white clouds, but the sky was dark and gloomy, just like the set of a horror movie.
Lin Yi realized that he seemed to have fallen into a picture!
No - not falling, but already there!
"Cognitive Overwrite!" Lin Yi's scalp tingled, and the moment he realized the situation, he reacted immediately, "The method used by an artist!"
At the same time, a strong sense of crisis slowly enveloped him like the Grim Reaper wielding a huge scythe. His subconscious mind began to react to the stress. He could hear the whistling sound of a passing train, and the vision in front of him began to flicker rapidly...
His brain seemed to be overloaded, and began to frantically process all the environmental factors around him, but his body was eroded by fatigue because it could not keep up with the consumption of brain power, and then he knelt on one knee. "Hu, hu, hu..."
Lin Yi supported himself on the ground with his hands, his breathing starting to become heavy. Just out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely saw a blurry figure emerging from a green belt beside the cobblestone road, pressing towards him little by little.
It was a man with bandages all over his body, carrying a bandage-like object on his back that was unclear whether it was a cylinder or a gourd.
"Hoo, hoo... fake person... art student... hoo..."
A fine layer of sweat appeared on Lin Yi's forehead. His vision was a little blurry, but his will was extremely clear.
"I was targeted... and they came all the way here to deal with me..."
"You really think highly of me..."
The bandaged pseudo-art student slowly came to a place not far from Lin Yi. Looking at the now somewhat embarrassed Lin Yi, he kept muttering in two different tones as if he was schizophrenic:
"Buze is so troublesome... I don't want to see Buze anymore... I might as well just kill him..."
"Don't disobey Lao Ren's orders!"
"Old Ren is at the store with Zhang Lingzhen. How could he possibly know what this kid is like?"
"Well……"
"And I didn't have enough to eat... Look at him again."
"Look at his physical fitness, it's really very good..."
"His flesh and blood, his heart..."
"Suck it-"
"It looks delicious... Let's eat the delicious ones first, and the rest can be recycled and made into first-class sculpture embryos..."
"Hehehe...what do you think?"
"This……"
"Don't hesitate. I'll give you 10%... No, 350%! How about that?"
"This……"
"Four percent!"
"make a deal!"
"That's right! Let's skip the tedious "purification" process and start "physical fertilization"!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
It approached Lin Yi step by step, and the bandage on its mouth loosened, revealing a pale mouth full of sharp teeth.
The bandages on its body also began to loosen up like ribbons, turning into circles of chains that left a trail of sparks on the ground...
Lin Yi seemed unable to move, but in fact he saw everything clearly. His understanding of art students was too limited, so he could only use Mu Daxian as a reference...
Of course, if this fake art student really had the same means as Mu Daxian, then he would definitely die today unless he got a hack on the spot.
Lin Yi quickly observed the surrounding environment. There were distorted images everywhere. Even he was a little distorted, but the bandaged pseudo-human art student seemed to be completely unaffected.
"It accepts the environment it overwrites, and I am in its domain..."
“What should I do…what should I do?!”
"He overwrote reality. I know nothing except that the ground beneath my feet is still pebbled!"
"If I run around, I might run into a greenbelt, which would be the least of my problems. If I accidentally miss a step and roll down the hillside, or get lost in the greenbelt, or get lost in the deep forest... then even if I escape, I'll just be falling from a dragon's den into a tiger's den..."
At this moment, Lin Yi heard a rustling sound in his ears. The chain-like bandages slowly swam over like flexible poisonous snakes, trying to trap him.
He quickly moved away.
"Oh, he can actually move?" The bandage-like artist showed a hint of surprise. "His five senses are normal... and his cognition doesn't seem to have any major problems... that's pretty good."
It seems that in a field like this, those who have experienced it should be powerless to resist.
The palm under the bandage was extremely pale. As it was speaking, one of its fingers unnaturally bent 90 degrees, as if some kind of mechanism had been triggered. The bandage then flexibly stretched out and immediately wrapped around Lin Yi's calf.
It pulled lightly and threw Lin Yi onto the ground backwards. If the backpack hadn't taken some of the force off, he would have fallen pretty hard.
But even so, the shoes in the bag still hurt his lower back.
"Well!"
Lin Yi gritted his teeth in pain and subconsciously reached out to grab the pebbles on the ground. Unfortunately, the ground was smoother than hair washed with Rejoice, and the pebbles seemed to have been smoothed out, without any trace at all.
I can't even hold it closed even if my nails are broken!
At this time, several more bandages came over, tied up his hands and feet, and then dragged him in front of the bandage-made pseudo-human artist little by little.
"I kind of regret it... maybe I should have just "Buze"..."
However, it clearly showed an admiring expression, but the next moment its sharp teeth and mouth raised a cruel arc: "What do you mean by 'Buze'? I don't agree now, I must eat it! I must!"
"At least...eat its heart. Let's draw a fake one for it. Old Ren can't tell it anyway!"
It looked down at Lin Yi who was standing right below it. Under the somewhat loose bandages, it revealed a pair of almost petrified gray-white eyes that were completely different from the ferocious expression on the lower half of its face. The eyes were completely devoid of any emotion and looked almost petrified.
Although there was no hope of breaking free, Lin Yi was still struggling. In the gap between his struggles, he accidentally saw the face of the bandaged pseudo-human art student. At this moment, his heart suddenly shook!
The face of this bandage-like pseudo-art student...actually gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling!
Thanks to the book friends "usjdnshhs", "Linskylark", "Chuanyaming" for the rewards! !
PS: I had saved up 1 words and planned to give you a surprise quietly, but I got scolded by my boss on Monday this week. I can’t slack off at work for a few days. I had training yesterday and have an exam tomorrow. I spent the whole day practicing questions today and finally squeezed out my saved drafts (I won’t hide the last 4300 words and will post them all in one go)…
I will continue to update on Saturday, and then take a day off on Sunday to take a breath, and sort out the plot of the stadium (because some readers have recently reported that the pace is a bit slow, I thought I would just plan it again, remove unnecessary details, and add more things that everyone is curious about and wants to see), please understand...
If nothing unexpected happens, stable updates will start from Monday and will last until the end of the month.
