Chapter 309 Conversion Formula
Chapter 309 Conversion Formula
"Two unrelated pictures!"
Lin Yi felt like he was hearing thunder, it was so deafening that his head suddenly buzzed.
The interior structure of the dormitory emerged in his mind, and then he layered the rotated part with the original part, suddenly obtaining two independent images.
Canteen, napkins, layer penetration...
Tian Bufan's inference about the cafeteria was also remembered at this moment, and then he applied it to the dormitory like a formula!
"The dormitory is also made up of multiple layers!"
"After sleeping, the layer I was in changed!"
"But the cafeteria's stratification is related to the plastic curtains, so how do the dormitories separate the layers?"
"No, no... the same cafeteria, the green bib chef can infiltrate..."
"shadow!"
"It's about 'light'!"
"After midnight, when the lights in the dormitory are turned off, you enter another layer. This layer is inherently a 'safe layer' that is 'independent' from the dangerous environment of the dormitory, just like the circle drawn by Sun Wukong!"
"And the infiltration of those nocturnal species is just like the green bib chef inviting tomatoes. It is a layer of infiltration. That's why it doesn't matter if you sleep in the dormitory or even just pretend to sleep, because the underlying logic... is still 'don't interact with anything'!"
"It still means 'ignore'!"
Lin Yi didn't expect that the value of "ignore" would continue to rise.
When I think about it this way, the school's "one-size-fits-all" approach to rules and regulations, when applied here, actually exudes a kind of beauty of simplicity and ingenuity.
"But then...which layer is the dormitory manager on?"
"Is it the layer of the nocturnal species, or... is there also a layer within it?"
"Since we're talking about layers... then we have to mention the 'door' attribute. The bathroom is small, but if you must say it, it's also something with the 'door' attribute in the dormitory. Should it also be a layer?"
Lin Yi felt his scalp itchy, as if he was about to grow a brain...
But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He originally thought that this video could provide very few clues, but he didn't expect that after being reminded by Li Huiyuan, he actually got a key "hidden clue"!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Li Huiyuan with burning eyes, thinking that Huihuizi was really a little lucky guy, who could wake up the dreamer with just a casual remark!
Wonderful! Wonderful!
But at this time, Li Huiyuan had already ignored him...
After she said that, Lin Yi was ecstatic but showed no expression on her face. She then weakly went about doing her own things, fiddling with a small notebook of which she didn't know what it was.
Lin Yi silently put away his burning gaze and continued watching the video.
那段录像后面的东西就显得“平平无奇”了，最终那时间定格在了「00:42:39/7/8/X023」上。
While watching the video, he also thought of another thing, which was the incident of "Dormitory Manager-28-X0230503021".
That dormitory manager was the yellow-haired manager that Maozi met in the corridor of the dormitory building in the early morning of May 5. The manager was holding an old kerosene lamp and was shivering, and no one knew what he was afraid of.
The dormitory manager took Maozi to the art office and left. Lin Yi also thought that it would be difficult for him to have any contact with him again.
However, he never expected that the angel with a strange smile who had followed him for almost a whole day, hiding in the shadows and pestering him, was actually this dormitory manager.
"This is such a coincidence!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, but after this thought came to his mind, he felt something was wrong.
Could such a coincidence really happen?
All coincidences are inevitable.
"Is this inevitable?"
"Have I missed something that could connect the dots...?"
He put the digital camera aside, took out the notepad, then let go of Li Huiyuan's hand, took out a pen and wrote:
"Dorm Manager..."
"Art Building..."
"Maozi..."
"I……"
After writing, I circled a few words including myself, and then drew lines back and forth, trying to find the connection between them...
"Oh yeah! One more thing!"
He wrote down two more key words:
"Hourglass..."
"Kerosene lamp..."
"I see!" an idea suddenly occurred to him.
"Among all the Laughing Angels I know, there are only two that I remember holding hourglasses in their hands!"
"One is the one who followed me... and the other one is the one who appeared at the corner of the stairwell of the teaching building on the evening of May 5th."
"That's right... this isn't even one of those smiling angels that were squatting in the elevator and killing the guy. The way they appeared was a little different."
"These two laughing angels... should be the same person."
"It targeted Maozi first, but Maozi escaped back to the art floor, so it followed the ashes to find me...?"
"No... it wasn't me that it found, but... I found it?"
Lin Yi had imagined the teaching building on a rainy night in his mind, and then he had some connection with this eerie laughing angel on some unknown level. Then, this eerie laughing angel haunted him like a lingering ghost.
In this case, leaving aside the problem of Maozi, in the final analysis, he was the one who dug the hole for himself invisibly?
He felt his head itchy again. What was going on?
At first he thought Maozi had bigger problems, but later he found that he also started to have problems. But now, it seems that his problems are bigger than Maozi's.
He looked at the lines on the notepad and drew another line:
"Wait, the dorm manager sent Maozi to the art building at around 5 a.m. on May 7th..."
"The Laughing Angel appeared on the night of May 5th. No, it was after midnight, so it was midnight on May 7th..."
"In just one day, the dorm manager transformed into a smiling angel!"
"Something completely unimaginable must have happened here!"
“Could it be related to the old kerosene lamp?”
After the outer shell of the petrified hourglass was broken, an old and outdated kerosene lamp was revealed.
"Could it be that... the old, broken kerosene lamp is some kind of key 'tool' that induces or prompts the dormitory manager to transform into a laughing angel?"
Lin Yi was not sure. He only knew that a lit old kerosene lamp could drive away nocturnal species, but he didn’t know whether an ineffective old kerosene lamp was just “ineffective”.
"Or... the dorm manager was already on the path to transformation into a Grinning Angel, and the extraordinary properties of the old kerosene lamp suppressed its transformation process?" "So once the old kerosene lamp failed, the dorm manager turned into a Grinning Angel?"
The core point of one of these two conjectures is that the "old and outdated kerosene lamp" may cause the dormitory manager to transform into a smiling angel.
He jotted down the simple formula on his notepad:
【宿+灯(X)=诡】.
The core of the second conjecture is that the "dormitory manager himself" has already transformed into the Sly Laughing Angel. He wrote down the second formula:
【宿→诡】
Finally, he added:
【宿+灯（√）=？】
He looked at these formulas and actually felt somewhat satisfied. Of course, he wrote them this way mainly as a reserve to prevent further cognitive damage caused by someone picking up the Death Note.
Of course, this might just be his wishful thinking. If someone picked up this book and flipped through it casually, something could go wrong, not to mention someone seeing the formula from the first page...
Suddenly, he had a new inspiration.
"If the above statement 'old kerosene lamps can suppress the transformation of dormitory managers into laughing angels' is true, then..."
"Who are those old kerosene lamps hanging all over the gymnasium protecting from...?"
Thinking of this, a strange thought emerged from his mind uncontrollably like a sapling breaking through the soil, and the scene he imagined based on Li Huiyuan's story flashed before his eyes...
Inside the gymnasium office, the physical education teachers all wore sacks on their heads and chained themselves to the wall, with bloody steam constantly gushing out of their bodies...
Secondly, when Teacher Wang came towards him, outside of the sky-blue aura, there was indeed a thick blood-red steam wrapped around it.
"Could it be... the PE teacher?"
He didn't know whether the physical education teacher was like a security guard.
He also didn't know whether the physical education teacher had any way to connect with the security guard.
However, he had only seen the blood-red steam on the physical education teacher in two types of units so far, one was the pseudo-man Li Kai, and the other was the angry angel.
The bloody aura in the fake man Li Kai's body is very weak, so he can be ignored for the time being.
But what about the Angry Angel?
There must be some connection between the PE teacher and the angry angel...
Could it be that the physical education teachers will transform into angry angels, and the old kerosene lamp can stop their transformation process?
That's right, so I've never heard of a physical education teacher leaving the gymnasium. Even physical education teachers don't leave the physical education office. Many times, physical education classes are pseudo-study classes in which physical education students lead experience students to conduct training activities.
Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes. This guess was too scary and would make his perception of the gymnasium even more horrible.
And what the gymnasium calls "the safest" is simply that it's dark under the lights?
The physical education teacher, who is more physically expressive than the angry angel, and the old kerosene lamp with extraordinary properties, together make the gymnasium truly impregnable.
Of course, "the gymnasium is the safest place on campus" does not mean "staying in the gymnasium is the safest place."
Lin Yi finally understood the dialectical relationship here.
Just like "sleeping in the dormitory is the safest" does not mean "it is the safest to be in the dormitory"...
It was a thrilling and damn disturbing discovery.
"As expected, there is no such thing as absolute safety... Being relatively safe is already the greatest benefit this campus offers."
Lin Yi sighed quietly, and unconsciously, he accepted some essential abnormality that existed in the campus.
He put away the notepad and picked up the digital camera. Just as he was about to put the digital camera back into his bag, what Mr. Tian had said suddenly came to his mind.
"…if you turn the volume up to full blast, you can hear some strange…noises…"
"Strange Noise"
A gleam of light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. He clicked on the replay button, turned up the volume, and then pressed the speed limit to watch it...
Just like before, there was nothing unusual before the dormitory turned over, but when the dormitory started to turn over, some strange sounds appeared in the picture.
The sound was indeed inaudible, as if something was rubbing against glass, and it was a very soft whisper.
He originally thought that he would hear some strange calls, or some hoarse, weird syllables mixed in the storm of pain, but he found that this was different from those. In comparison, it seemed... much more normal.
No wonder even Mr. Tian just thought it was "some strange noises."
Since he had no clue, he wouldn't listen any more. He would definitely react when he encountered such a sound in the future, so it was useless to listen blindly now.
He put the digital camera back into his bag, zipped up his backpack, and then looked at Li Huiyuan.
Li Huiyuan was still holding the little notebook and reading it. It asked curiously, "Li Huiyuan, what are you reading?"
Seeing that Li Huiyuan didn't answer, he asked again.
Still no answer.
He then patted her shoulder gently.
"Li Huiyuan...?"
"Hmm?!" Li Huiyuan frowned and said unhappily, "You shook your hands so cleanly just now, and now you know to call me?"
"Also, forget it, Li Huiyuan is Li Huiyuan. Now is not the time to worry about such a small name. Anyway, no matter how much I say it, I don't think you will remember it!"
"Eh...?" Lin Yi didn't understand Li Huiyuan's complicated train of thought at once. After a moment of silence, he remembered that he should call her Hui Huizi, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Li Huiyuan didn't insist on this unreasonably. She took the initiative to resolve the awkwardness and handed over the notebook: "I'll look in the rules to see if there is anything I should do now."
"Code of Conduct? 'Code of Conduct for Physical Education Students'?" Lin Yi was shocked and quickly closed the small notebook. Sure enough, he saw a row of large characters on the cover - 'Code of Conduct for Physical Education Students'.
"Oh my god, you just spent half a day reading the Sports Student Code beside me?"
"Ah...? What else?" Li Huiyuan blinked her big innocent eyes, "What else should I do when I read a pocket book at this time?"
"Uh..." Lin Yixin said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have looked at the digital camera first. Let's all appreciate this rule together!"
"So have you found anything that corresponds to this situation?" Lin Yi asked.
"No!" Li Huiyuan shook her head, and suddenly she slapped her head, "Oh! I almost forgot..."
She reached into her skirt and took out a small notebook from the pocket of her pleated skirt...
"Ah? This is...?" Lin Yi was stunned.
Why is there a "Code of Conduct for Sports Students"?
And it looks like... these two books are of different thicknesses!
