Chapter 489: Lights on, Fake Person
Chapter 489: Lights on, Fake Person
They just changed from "invading the campus" to "invading the art building"!
The essence is still an invasion!
An invader is an invader and he will not lose the definition of an invader simply because he invades another place. Even with the passage of time, the fact of invasion cannot be changed. A large part of the many sculptures on campus are bloody evidence of the invasion by nocturnal species.
In the shadow of the art building that turned the sky upside down, the nocturnal creatures that descended in the mix with the violent storm were just the most inconspicuous ones.
Rainwater in abnormal weather is the real source of pollution!
It seemed to be the water of the black ocean. The surging waves somehow invaded the layers. After being crushed by the dimensions between the layers, the remaining part was diluted in the world and eventually became rain.
Although there was still a little bit of pollution left in this rain, the environment and the nocturnal seeds combined were enough to plant the seeds of pollution for the people stranded in the rain.
This is why the rules repeatedly state that you must seek shelter behind solid buildings or street lights in abnormal weather!
Because rain carries pollution, and when the weather is abnormally bad to a certain extent, the nocturnal torrents will twist and crawl in the darkness.
Lights can drive away nocturnal species, and buildings can provide shelter from wind and rain.
Although it is a little late to fully understand this logic at this time, from a rigorous scientific point of view, going from "inference" to "confirmation" is itself a huge progress.
Lin Yi thought of the method that his homeroom teacher-040 told him to use to enter the 5th floor and above of the teaching building. By analogy, the current situation is just like the weather deteriorating from "cloudy" to "heavy rain", right?
"So, in abnormal weather conditions, the properties of the doors on campus will become blurred, and the path between the teaching building (reality) and the art building layer will be opened. However, the truly safe path has actually already been controlled by the architects who originally built the campus, and they built an elevator..."
"And the rest... is indeed out of control."
It is impossible for a normal person to survive on this road in the sky even if he/she parachutes without a parachute under normal circumstances, let alone in abnormal weather conditions.
Even if the nocturnal species have infiltrated the layer, that is the result of an immeasurable order of magnitude being screened (crushed) layer by layer. Those who arrive at the campus alive are all survivors.
The reason why Lin Yi thought of this was because he subconsciously put the question of "Can the Russians take this path?" into consideration.
The conclusion is that this road is a meat grinder, and if the Russians come here, they will definitely become woolen cakes.
Lin Yi silently withdrew his gaze, but at this moment, his eyes swept across the distorted aurora-like illusion, and a strange inspiration suddenly burst out in his mind.
"It's such a big storm, but there's not even a trace of ash. It seems that what the homeroom teacher said is true. The 'Original Ash Apostle' is indeed unable to obtain ash supplies on campus. Even its ashes will fall on the campus."
The spots that the fur is stained with are scattered from its body.
"but!"
"In the areas above the fifth floor of the teaching building, there are scattered ashes and debris!"
"That means..."
"If [The Original Type cannot be resupplied on campus] is absolutely correct, and [there is a smell of ash in the areas above the 5th floor of the teaching building], then based on these two conditions we can infer that—"
"'Original Ash Apostle' cannot enter the areas on the 5th floor and above of the teaching building, and the areas on the 5th floor and above of the teaching building do not belong to the category of 'campus';"
It is understandable that the 5th floor and above of the teaching building do not belong to the campus area. After all, that can be regarded as the teaching building area submerged by the layer.
However, based on Lin Yi's previous experience in Class 18, Group C of the teaching building, the "Original Ash Apostle" can absorb ashes through layers. In that case, doesn't it mean that even if the "Original Ash Apostle" will disappear as the ashes are exhausted, the process will be very long?
It’s like everyone will die, but the duration of death from natural causes and abnormal death is the same.
If the "original Ashbringer" is allowed to "die of old age", then what is the point?
"So... could it be that the so-called 'expulsion' by the store owner is just a process that accelerates the 'unnatural death' of the 'Original Ash Apostle'?"
"Wait!!" Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly realized that the store owner had actually already given him the answer to this matter!
[It is the projection of the path of the "Ashes Apostles" on the campus... The organization that used Yuan Datou and Mu Daxian to arrange the ritual tore a hole in the campus, allowing the path of the "Ashes Apostles" to be projected here from an unknown latitude...]
"I almost forgot, this thing itself is a 'projection' of some nature!"
"So the store owner's expulsion of it was not really for expulsion, but to erase its 'coordinates' on campus so that it could not be projected! In this way, the effect of saving the country in a roundabout way was achieved!"
Lin Yi suddenly realized and felt like a bald monk. His forehead suddenly lit up like a ball of light!
And at this moment, some of the incandescent lights on the ceiling suddenly "popped" and flashed a moment of light.
"Hey, what's this?" Lin Yi quickly retracted his gaze and looked up at the ceiling, "Is the phone ringing?"
"I don't know if the call will come or not, but it's almost time to get light." Wei Liang's voice sounded, and then it increased by several decibels, "Let's go, Lao Lin, hurry up, get back to your seat!"
"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned.
"Stop being dazed and follow me!" Wei Liang said.
"what?"
"Your sister? Don't you know what you did?" Wei Liang said, quickly pulling Lin Yi's hand and leading him to the lecture hall, "Hey, hurry up and run, don't wait for others to come to your door..."
Being pointed out to this extent by Wei Liang, Lin Yi reacted immediately. He just exchanged glances with Jin Jiuyao. He was fine, but the unlucky Jin Jiuyao was met with his "Visual Insight"...
When ordinary eyes met the eyes of heaven, Jin Jiuyao just fell down with a layer of tears.
Just as Lin Yi was led away from the bookshelf area by Wei Liang, the light of the incandescent lamp flickered again.
The figure of a stiff angel with a strange smile flashed by at the place where Lin Yi and Wei Liang were originally.
However, the posture of the smiling angel was a little strange, as if someone had grabbed the back of its head in a showy way and pressed it against the bookshelf, and had been pressing it until now...
……
Just as Wei Liang brought Lin Yi back to their seats and the two of them had just sat down, a subtle sound of electric current was heard in the classroom. Then, accompanied by a series of "pop, pop, pop..." sounds, the incandescent lamps on the ceiling lit up one after another.
As the incandescent lamps lit up, the entire classroom suddenly became bright, just like a roller coaster rushing out of a tunnel.
The sudden light was so dazzling that even the participants who had been in the dark for a long time could not open their eyes.
Lin Yi also squinted his eyes subconsciously - although the change in light had no effect on his vision, he still squinted symbolically out of human habit. At this moment, a terrified cry suddenly sounded in the classroom.
"what--"
It was a boy's cry, but soon a girl followed suit and screamed in fear.
Soon, this cry spread rapidly among the students as if it was contagious.
Because as the classroom lights came on, they found that human faces appeared one after another near the windows in the corridor. These "people" pressed their faces tightly against the window glass, like the hook-nosed evil witches in ancient Europe staring at lambs to be slaughtered.
But soon, those faces slowly slid down, like rubber baked by high temperature, losing their original properties.
The students in the classroom huddled in their seats in fear, and many even tried to shrink themselves into the gaps between the chairs. At first glance, these people looked like fake classmates.
Lin Yi suddenly thought of something in his mind. Could it be that those fake classmates in the classroom were just experience students who had gone through similar things and had changed little by little?
Just like the current trial students in the classroom, some of them are already no different from the fake-human classmates in terms of performance, the only difference is the lack of some transformation... or in other words, the time has not come yet.
"These people have been planted with 'seeds'. Once the time comes, they will become fake people!" Lin Yi made a judgment in his mind, "Are they contaminated like this? Is there any way to save them?"
Some brothers, yes.
Those participants who had just fallen to the first floor because they missed a step, remained relatively sober because of the severe pain. The severe pain also made them realize that there was something wrong with their condition.
"Teacher...I have to find a teacher...I have to find a teacher..."
The last rule of the student code: [Please pay attention to your physical health. If you find yourself feeling dizzy, blurred vision, nausea, or other discomfort symptoms during your stay at school, please find the dormitory manager or class teacher before staying overnight. He will take you to the infirmary, and the school doctor will take you to the school gate. When you see the blue school bus, get on the bus immediately. The driver will take you out of the campus and end your experience.]
That's right, for them at this moment, this is the only guide for action.
Several students crawled to the door of the classroom, then got up in a panic and opened the door.
The door was opened and a soaking wet man stood at the door.
The student was startled and fell to the ground with a thud.
The man at the door was wearing a school uniform, his wet hair stuck to his face, and his face was as pale as wax, like a corpse that had been swollen after being soaked in water.
It stood there quietly, its pair of gray eyes slowly looking at the experiencer...
"Can we... come in..."
It spoke slowly, its voice hoarse and low, like a leaky balloon.
Before it could finish its words, one figure after another appeared behind it. Each of them looked similar to it and exuded a cold and damp aura.
"You...you can come in if you want...the door is open, it's none of my business..."
Hearing the experiencer's answer, the pale figure at the door gradually raised a strange smile: "Thank you..."
"Oh no! This idiot!!" Seeing this scene, a murderous intent flashed in Chen Xue's eyes, but just as she was about to rush over, Lu Zhao reached out and held her shoulder.
Lu Zhao shook his head slightly: "Don't worry about him, save Jiuyao first."
"Okay..." Chen Xue gritted her teeth and continued to call Jin Jiuyao.
At the door of the classroom, the pale figure walked into the classroom slowly with stiff steps.
Along with their arrival, some water vapor also poured in from the classroom door. The student subconsciously blocked the water vapor with his hands, but it had no effect at all.
When they moved, their soles seemed to be rubbing against the ground, making a "rustling...rustling..." sound that made people's scalps tingle.
The student shrank back to the side in fear, and suddenly he was afraid to leave the classroom.
Lin Yi was naturally attracted by the movement over there and couldn't help but observe them. These were all fake people, but what puzzled him was that these fake people did not seem to have the authority to enter the classroom.
They guided the experiencer who opened the door to say something like "please come in" and thus transcended the "door attribute".
So that means... these fake people in front of us are also "newcomers".
Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes. To be honest, he didn't take the existence of the fake people seriously at all. However, he didn't think about this point, but... since the fake people can enter the door in this way, then can normal people enter other classrooms in this way?
For example...someone invited him to join another class?
It wasn't written in the rules at all, so he wasn't sure.
Or, will there be some idiot who invites the "original Ashbringer" over through "invitation"?
Or in other words...could the ceremony organized by Yuan Datou itself be an act of "invitation"?
Lin Yi thought thoughtfully: "Is there any connection between 'invitation' and 'door attribute'?"
Only an invitation took place between the experiencer and the fake person, but with Lin Yi's current knowledge, there were many things he could think about and infer.
"Then, could it be that 'invitation' is some kind of branch under some higher-level mechanism? Could it be that it hides more logic and mystery?"
Lin Yi couldn't figure it out for a moment and could only keep some guesses to discuss with Tian Bufan when they met again.
He turned his eyes to the fake people, but saw that they seemed to be pouring into the classroom continuously. In just a few minutes, more than a dozen fake people had entered at a snail's pace...
"Damn... stop it. If the door is not closed, the fake people will be able to come in all the time, right?" Lin Yi was almost getting anxious, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the trainee also changed.
You fucking... gave a fast track to a fake person?
