Chapter 426: Roll Call Ends
Chapter 426: Roll Call Ends
The twisted layers continued to entangle, and Lin Yi was like an adventurer fleeing in a collapsed cave. Countless rubble collapsed around him, and his steps became more and more awkward, but he knew that he could not stop for a moment.
If he stopped, the unknown and twisted darkness would catch up and swallow him up, dragging him into no return.
He fled with all his might, and finally sensed his own "real body" on the other side of the passage. He mustered up all his strength and rushed out, and then -
"boom--"
The light faded, and a familiar smell came to my mind.
He returned to the bookshelf area at the back of the lecture hall.

"Hu, hu, hu..."
Lin Yi suddenly woke up, and then began to gasp violently like a drowning person who finally breathed in fresh air.
Li Huiyuan's voice rang in his ears: "Lin Yi, are you okay?"
"I'm fine..." Lin Yi sighed and was about to put away the Ouroboros Ring when he suddenly noticed that Li Huiyuan's face looked pale and ugly. He quickly asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Huiyuan looked at him deeply, pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What was that place just now?"
"Ah?" Lin Yi was startled, and suddenly asked in shock, "Wait, how did you see it too?"
"What do you mean 'how could it be'?" Li Huiyuan's eyes widened. "Didn't you bring me to see it?"
"Ah?" Lin Yi opened his mouth wide, "I..."
Damn, I don’t know... What’s going on? How can you see it?
Could it be...
He glanced at the hand held by Li Huiyuan, and saw the Ouroboros Ring clenched in her hand.
"Is it because of the Ouroboros Ring?"
"The Ouroboros Ring not only amplified my perception, but also Li Huiyuan's perception, and then I took her perception with me to jump through the layers?"
"Hiss... can you still do this?"
But this is the only explanation.
Seeing Lin Yi's strange expression, Li Huiyuan's expression also became strange: "Could it be... that this is not your intention?"
"Uh, this..." Lin Yi didn't know what to say. If he wanted to say it, it would be a long story.
"If it's complicated, I won't ask, but why do I seem to hear a lot of children's voices, and they are all calling your name? That's what you want to do, but... is there any danger?"
Li Huiyuan seemed unable to sense the danger.
Of course, Lin Yi didn’t feel any danger—except when he returned.
"Hiss—ah, this...?" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. Because of the connection between perceptions, she could even hear the sounds of those small sculptures?
His face looked a little ugly, not because any secret had been discovered by Li Huiyuan, but because he was worried that such sharing of perception would cause Li Huiyuan to be contaminated by unknown forces.
"What else did you see?" Lin Yi asked worriedly. He wanted to know whether Li Huiyuan only saw the situation in the library with him, or whether she also saw the passage when she perceived the jump and the scene of the starry night. If that horrifying scene of the collapse of the layers fell on Li Huiyuan's mind, it would most likely have some impact on Li Huiyuan.
For Li Huiyuan, a junior sports student, it does not seem to be a good thing to be exposed to those things in advance.
"Huh... why do I feel that Li Huiyuan's pollution level is very shallow?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned. He didn't know since when, he seemed to regard Li Huiyuan as only a person who needed his protection.
How strange...
After hearing this, Li Huiyuan thought about it carefully, and then asked doubtfully: "I only saw a place with many strange pillars and bookshelves, and nothing else... Is there anything else I should see?"
"No..." Hearing this, Lin Yi heaved a long sigh of relief. It's good that there is nothing...
Despite this, Lin Yi still looked at Li Huiyuan very seriously, staring into her bright eyes, holding her shoulders with both hands, and then said very seriously: "Hui Huizi, listen to me carefully. When you return to the gymnasium, you must tell the boss about what you just saw, and then listen to what the boss says, understand!"
"Yes, okay." Seeing that Lin Yi had never been so serious, Li Huiyuan did not dare to be careless and agreed immediately.
But she suddenly thought of something and frowned, "That's not right. Why is it 'I returned to the gym'? Are you really not going to go to the gym with me?"
Her tone was extremely serious, as if she was questioning.
You just said you would see the situation, how come you don't even see the situation? !
That’s too much!
Lin Yi pursed his lips. Time was tight and the task was heavy. He might not be able to make it to the gym in time.
Besides, he didn't want to lie to Li Huiyuan, so he said, "My situation is not yet determined... I still need to meet up with Master Tian and the others."
"Why do you always say Mr. Tian, Liangzi, etc.? I feel like your emphasis is a bit too much on friendship. Don't the boss and I poke at your XP?"
"Puff..." Lin Yi almost spit out a mouthful of blood, "No, you..."
Oh my god... Lin Yi wiped his sweat, why are you so aggressive, why did you bring up XP...
And the XP matter...Does the boss know about it?
"That's just a hobby... Don't apply it to reality..." Lin Yi was embarrassed and quickly ended the topic. Don't do this, the boss will kick me to death, "Let's go get the book to Liangzi first..."
He secretly put the Ouroboros ring back into the stone box in his backpack and walked forward.
"Haha." Li Huiyuan sneered and gave him a sidelong look, but did not say anything else. "Brother Liangliangzi, what are you looking for? Let me help you choose."
"Let me do it, you just hold it for me." Lin Yi said as he handed "Super Fight! The Secret Awakening of Magical Girls!" to Li Huiyuan.
Looking at the book in her hand, Li Huiyuan's eyebrows twitched slightly. She secretly took note of the magical girl's outfit on the cover, but she couldn't help but mutter in her heart, is this Lin Yi's hobby... ?
Pink, white... Isn't it similar to what I wore that day? Did I actually hit his XP, but he just didn't admit it?
Oh man.
The corners of Li Huiyuan's mouth curled up unconsciously.
"Take this one too... Hey, what are you laughing at?" Lin Yi handed another book to Li Huiyuan, and seeing the corners of Li Huiyuan's mouth that were harder to suppress than AK, he couldn't help but ask.
Li Huiyuan quickly put away her smile and coughed dryly: "Nothing, I just thought of some happy things."
"Oh..." Lin Yi responded, and didn't say anything else. Instead, he continued to select some H comics that he was interested in.
Finally, Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan left the bookshelf area with 8 H-comics.

X023年5月10日，8:59，图书馆「？」层。
On the floor where the black and white Doric columns were located, in front of a bookshelf, a group of art students, not many in number, gathered around it, almost filling up the limited space around the bookshelf.
The art teacher holding the extraordinary lamp-shaped object was examining the surrounding environment with an extremely solemn expression. Meanwhile, an art student with a somewhat emaciated figure was slumped on the ground, gasping for breath in shock.
The art students around him told him what they had seen one by one.
"Brother Li, you were just writing information into the book, but somehow you became silent, and your temperament became a little dull and wooden..."
"Then you seemed to become a different person, observing your surroundings..."
"I remember the look in your eyes at that time... It was so scary, it didn't look like the look a human could have..."
"That's right... the richness of that golden color is like the eyes of the most terrifying demon in the depths of a nightmare..."
"I was immediately certain that your mind had been corrupted, but as soon as I called you teacher, your eyes became clear and stupid again..."
"That's what I say, but don't take advantage of me, or I'll beat you up..." Although Li Zidan was panting, he still glared at him fiercely.
The art teacher checked but didn't find anything abnormal. He couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Li Zidan, did you feel anything just now?"
Li Zidan shook his head clearly and foolishly: "No..."
"Think about it carefully, don't just refuse right away." The art teacher stared at him, his tone becoming a little stern. "You know, the mental state of the Messenger must be strictly monitored. If there is a crack in your will..."
Li Zidan's body trembled subconsciously: "Teacher, wait a minute, let me think about it!"
He thought about it seriously, then suddenly raised his finger, like a signature move of a beef noodle master: "Got it!"
"I thought of it!"
"Just now, I actually felt some weak fluctuations coming from the book... Teacher, do you think it's possible that someone on campus was flipping through this book, and then the perception seeped in?"
"Absolutely not." The art teacher shook his head slightly, extremely confident, and eliminated the correct option as soon as he opened his mouth.
"'Perception Penetration' belongs to the field of 'Spiritual Transition' and is the most profound art in the 'Perception System'. Even the most outstanding 'Executive' among us cannot complete the transition through a book."
Some art students secretly counted on their fingers, measuring the gap between the realms of perception: "Perception... high-level perception... super-realm vision... layer insight... will transition... will interference..."
"It spans three levels..."
"If I remember correctly, even Brother Xian has only achieved the level of "Transcendent Vision"..."
The art teacher nodded and said, "That's right. Mu Daxian is extremely talented, but he can only achieve "Transcendental Vision". Many of us can only reach the threshold of "Layer Insight" at most. As for "Will Transition"..."
"Among the one hundred dream builders in the alliance, no more than five can do this..."
“If those people came in, we wouldn’t be able to not notice it.”
"Then teacher, what happened just now?" Li Zidan asked puzzledly. He didn't want his mental health to be affected.
The art teacher shook his head and said, "I checked and found nothing. The invasion must have come from outside... I have informed the school district of the information. Let's see if they can help check it out."
"Have all the other teams finished writing their information?"
"We're done."
"So are we."
"finished……"
Everyone responded.
"Okay, Li Zidan, what about you?"
“I’ve actually…finished writing it.”
"Okay, then let's pack up and prepare to return to the art building and have a good rest. There will be another fierce battle tonight." said the art teacher.
Hearing this, the other art students became nervous, and each of them looked frightened.
"Teacher... this time, it took too long..."
The art teacher also frowned, his eyes full of worry: "Yeah... In the past, it almost ended yesterday, but this time, it seems that the peak has not yet arrived..."
"The Night Watch has issued three additional warnings. Tonight... everyone must be prepared to defend the Art Building to the death."
"Let's go..."
"Yeah!" The art students looked at each other. Although they could see the worry in each other's eyes, they were more determined and fearless.
The sculptures on the Doric columns were motionless, but their eyeballs were rolling around, staring at the backs of the art teachers and students.
This scene is very similar to the scene in the Little Leiyin Temple where the fake Arhats looked at Tang Monk and his disciples...
They didn't make any noise until the art teacher and art students left, and the art teacher and students didn't seem to notice their existence at all.
I don’t know if it’s the “ignore” part of the rules, or if they…
The sculptures are nowhere to be seen.

Lin Yi walked out of the bookshelf area with the book in his arms. As soon as he left the bookshelf area and before he walked towards Wei Liang, he found that the head teacher-040 saw him.
The head teacher-040's eyes obviously dodged for a moment, then seemed to react to something, and immediately returned to Lin Yi, as if to say very deliberately, I was not waiting for you to show up, but I just happened to see you.
Lin Yi was slightly startled, and then he saw the head teacher-040 sorted out the folders, and then slowly walked down the podium in high heels.
“Da, da, da…”
In the morning light, the black stockings seemed to have some kind of magic, outlining the head teacher's 040-inch legs. Every step seemed to step on Lin Yi's heart, making a hissing sound, making his eyes go straight...
Homeroom teacher-040 opened the door and left the classroom. Lin Yi's sight finally stopped on the door.
"Hey, they've gone far away." Li Huiyuan's obviously unfriendly voice rang in Lin Yi's ears, as if squeezing lemon juice into Lin Yi's teeth.
"Cough cough!" Lin Yi coughed dryly, retracted his gaze, and silently walked towards Wei Liang's seat with the book in his arms.
Li Huiyuan obviously would not let Lin Yi go. She squinted her eyes and walked up quickly, then tentatively said, "I can also wear black stockings~"
"Puff..." Lin Yi stumbled and almost slipped, and said subconsciously, "You're not old enough, you don't have that taste... No, I mean, that, that... Damn..."
