Chapter 59 The Fog-filled Student Passage (1100 words added)
Lin Yi opened his mouth, but finally gave up the idea of asking further questions.
The physical education student glanced at the student passage and reminded: "It's getting late, so you should leave quickly...otherwise you won't be able to get out of the cafeteria when the fog comes up."
said After that, he held the plaster arm and walked along the edge of the canteen toward other passages.
"Fog?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. He followed the position where the sports student was looking just now and was stunned on the spot.
I saw a layer of fog filling the student passage. The fog was not very thick, but under the illumination of the incandescent lamp in the student passage, the entire student passage looked like a bathhouse filled with water vapor.
The nearby steps can still be seen clearly, but the middle and rear sections gradually extend into the fog, making it difficult to see clearly.
As for the exit, it is even more blurry. There is only a dark shadow, like a giant's mouth wide open and blocked there. Looking from here, even with the light of incandescent lamps, you can't see anything clearly. .
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment...
His intuition told him that if he walked in alone today, he would basically not be able to get in or out of this student passage.
He had a history of getting lost on the way to the gym, so now the passage led to who knows where.
"Why haven't the Liangzi people come out yet?" he muttered.
As soon as this idea came to his mind, the plastic curtain behind him was opened with a swish. Wei Liang rushed out panting, patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and gasped: < br>
"Old Lin, are you okay? I saw it just now! Didn't you learn Qing Gong? Why are you jumping so fast, I can't even keep up!"
He said while returning Breathing heavily.
Feeling the hot breath almost blowing to his ears, Lin Yi felt a little calmer.
“Did you see it?!” Lin Yi said in surprise.
“I saw it!” Wei Liang nodded seriously, “A few green chefs suddenly came out of nowhere and rushed towards you like crazy. Then I I saw you disappear in a flash!"
"Then did you see what was behind me?" Lin Yi asked.
"Yes!" Wei Liang said, "A chef, he seems to be a chef with a green bib! I saw him follow you to the door, get beaten up, and then run away!"
Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little confused. Wei Liang saw him being chased, but nothing happened to him? What's going on?
But Wei Liang seemed to be just relaying a fact he saw.
"It's good to see you're okay." Wei Liang said happily, "What's wrong, you're still frowning?"
Lin Yi shook his head: "It's nothing."
Before he finished speaking, he asked abruptly: "There are three good things about a lolita!"
Wei Liang was stunned.
Then, he looked at him with a strange expression: "Uh...it's so light and easy to...push over?"
"I trust you, are you okay?" He reached out and touched Lin Yi forehead.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll give you the code to see if it's you." Lin Yi shook his head.
“I thought you switched from the Black Silk Royal Sister Cult to my White Silk Loli Cult…” Wei Liang curled his lips and murmured in a low voice.
Lin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth and did not continue the topic, but quickly got back to the point and said:
"Liangzi, we have to leave quickly, the passage is foggy."
Wei Liang was stunned when he heard this. Then he immediately glanced at the student passage, and then he was startled out of habit, shouting "fuck", then suddenly realized something, patted his chest to comfort Lin Yidao:
" Oh, let me go, scare me!"
"Don't panic, don't panic, this concentration of fog is normal, small scenes, small scenes..."
"Oh?" Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang in surprise, "Do you have an explanation?"
"The visibility is tens of meters higher, so panic, come on, come on, follow me." Although Wei Liang He said this, but there was an obvious look of worry in his eyes, "Come on, if you don't leave, it will be too late when the fog gets thicker."
"But..." Lin Yi hesitated. , "The student code says...when encountering abnormal or foggy weather, isn't the first thing to do is to seek shelter in the nearest building?"
"That's right, but Lao Lin, look ..." Wei Liang pointed to other areas, "This is not 'abnormal weather'!"
Lin Yi was slightly surprised and followed Wei Liang's guidance.
I saw——
The sun had already set, and the campus was now shrouded in darkness. All the vegetation looked like twisted figures, and thin mist spread out from the mountains and forests.
But despite this, the view is not blurry...
There is fog in other places, but not much.
There is only a student passage. It seems that due to design problems, as soon as it got dark today, a large amount of fog had already condensed in the passage.
Obviously - this does not conform to the description of abnormal weather in the student code at all.
"Old Lin, you are frightened and your thoughts are wandering." Wei Liang comforted, "Don't panic, I have walked through this student passage many times and I am very familiar with it. Put your hand on my shoulder. I'll take you away."
Lin Yi nodded immediately and said: "Okay."
"Let's go!" Wei Liang took the lead.
Lin Yi put his hand on his shoulder and glanced at his watch.
18:20.
The two of them walked into the student passage one after another.
......
On the pillar of the student restaurant, the broken arm of the chef in the green bib has disappeared, replaced by an arm that is exactly the same as the broken arm and is completely carved from plaster. Complete arm sculpture.
The arm sculpture is lifelike. On the back of its hand, you can even clearly see the slightly raised blood vessels. At its break, you can also see the blood-like stone sculpture dripping downward. .
……
X023 May 18:20.
The moment he entered the student passage, a cold breath accompanied by thin mist slowly enveloped Lin Yi. A faint feeling of discomfort gently stimulated all the pores on Lin Yi's body. , which gave him a sense of resistance to the student channel.
At this moment, Lin Yi's hair stood on end and a chill ran down his spine. He felt as if he was being watched by someone...
It was a cold, indifferent, and indifferent way. Gazing with any extra emotion is like a prostrate lion staring at your back in a daze, like some unimaginable existence, looking at you one more time unintentionally.
"Is it...the 'there but not quite there' chef in the blue bib?"
"Or is it something else...?"
When it popped into his mind When he made this conjecture, the idea of turning around and taking a look came up in his mind.
As soon as this idea appeared, it immediately grew wildly and uncontrollably, turning into a strong desire.
But he immediately developed a stronger desire to restrain:
"Don't look back! Absolutely! Don't look back!"
He gritted his teeth and restrained this desire rationally with his firm will. He felt the temperature of Wei Liang's shoulder coming from the palm of his hand and kept Breathing out evenly, she followed him step by step down the stairs of the student passage.
Just walking step by step, Lin Yi silently counted the steps in his heart.
When he counted to the thirty-sixth step, he felt quieter with each step he took.
This kind of silence is not normal, it’s like the whole world has lowered its pitch, and then makes certain subtle sounds louder...
"Chloe... cluck... cluck..."
He could clearly hear the sound of his feet on each step, hear his own unhappy heartbeat, and hear the mist in the air. Slowly spreading, the sound of cold air spreading on the cold walls of the student passage...
He heard the extremely subtle sound of water flowing from the inner wall of the student passage, like water flowing through the gaps between the bricks of the stone wall. The water that came out slowly slid down along the gap, and then dripped on... the moss.
"Moss..."
Lin Yi's pupils shrank slightly.
"Is this the environmental factor that nourishes moss?"
"No, in the student passage...where does the water come from?"
"Wait...could it be that that scene didn't exist? The water penetrated into the student passage through the mist? "
His nose flapped, and he vaguely smelled a... light, salty, and wet smell in the student passage. Fishy smell.
The breath of the sea.
"Fuck! Here we go again!"
He rubbed his temples violently, controlling himself not to think too much and focusing on following Wei Liang.
But Wei Liang's speed also began to slow down, as if every step he took had gone through a lot of calculations.
He followed silently. If you get lost at this time, you will be doomed!
His world is getting quieter and quieter, but the sounds he can hear clearly are also increasing... The extreme of silence is noisy, and the end of noisy is everything that seems to have left you. The world suddenly crams every tiny sound into your head.
He heard the sound of the soles of his feet falling on the steps. Wei Liang had a "wide and wide" footsteps because he wore ill-fitting shoes, and his footsteps were slightly softer...
He heard the faint sound of wind blowing from the distant world, with a little sound of waves and the sound of bubbles washing on the gravel...
He heard the sound of "rustling" "The voice——
is not behind you, but in all directions.
The sound came from the inner wall of the student passage. Under the thin mist, he seemed to see some slight distortion of the wall. Not only was there a trickle on the wall, but also some weird relief outline with abstract lines appeared faintly... ...
That outline... twists and squirms, as if performing some ancient ritual. Just touching that outline with your eyes can make you want to get closer and take a closer look. Strong curiosity...
Lin Yi did not dare to look any further and quickly withdrew his gaze, locking his eyes tightly on Wei Liang's back.
The fog became thicker and thicker, and Lin Yi captured more and more sounds. There was nothing useful in these sounds, as if the noise of the whole world was stuffed into his mind.
He gradually felt it was difficult to breathe, and he was overwhelmed by this nothingness.
The lights in the student passage became increasingly blurry under the mist. If he hadn't firmly believed that Wei Liang could lead him out of the passage, he would have been lost in a dark corner by holding on to the inner wall of the student passage...
He was still counting the steps non-stop, but he had forgotten whether he had reached more than 70 steps or more than 90 steps.
He only remembered that he kept walking down the steps.
His hand was always on Wei Liang's shoulder.
The fog became thicker and the sound became clearer. The shadow cast by the incandescent lamp was distorted by the fog, casting a chaotic shadow on the wall, like dancing minions, following closely behind them, as if as long as As soon as they stop, they are devoured.
Lin Yi felt that it was getting harder and harder for him to breathe. The permeating mist was like the rising water, gradually eating away at his breathing space and straining his will.
Just when he felt that his will was about to sink, the mist that hit his face suddenly became thinner like clouds. The evening wind blew in his face, and the chaotic vision suddenly became clear. Get up...
He walked out of the student passage under the leadership of Wei Liang.
“A hundred steps, no more, no less!” Wei Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and his back was already wet.
He turned around and looked at Lin Yi, patted the latter's somewhat cold hand, and said with relief, "I've come out." Then he turned into a giggling look, and said proudly: "How's it going? How about it? Brother Xinliang has eternal life!”
After a few shots, Lin Yi retreated from that strange state as if his soul had returned to his body.
Just like a person who has been squatting in a pit for a long time and suddenly stands up, so that the blood has no time to be transported to the head, Lin Yi's brain went blank for a short time, and his ears also disappeared for a short time...< br>
After he recovered, his vision, hearing, touch and smell gradually returned to normal.
……
On May 7, 2023, the exit of the student passage.
A gust of night wind came, and the cool breath dissipated all Lin Yi's suffocation. He felt refreshed, his ears and eyes were clear, and the filthy air accumulated in his chest was completely cleared.
He glanced at his watch, and his clear mind was suddenly stunned.
18:24.
「18:24...?」
「Only 18:24?!」
He remembered that it was 18:20 before entering the student passage, so this long walk through the student passage seemed like a century, but in fact it only lasted... four minutes? !
Four minutes?
He felt that forty minutes was about the same!
"Why are you so fat? Are you still in a daze?" Wei Liang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lin Yi's eyes, "Wake up, wake up, we have come out!"
Lin Yi asked doubtfully: "Liangzi, are you so anxious that we have to go for a long time?"
"How long have you been walking? You mean...this passage?"
"Yes."
"Maybe maybe...a few minutes?" Wei Liang hesitated: " I feel like you are a little claustrophobic, and you were nervous when you followed me... It didn't feel like you had been gone for a long time, right?"
Lin Yidao: "It felt like it was a long time away."< br>
"Claustrophobia will indeed feel uncomfortable in that environment, and some abnormal reactions are normal." He patted his chest, "I took you down non-stop."
"If the fog hadn't been really thick, and I was afraid that you would slip and slow down a little, we might have been down in a minute or two."
"Anyway, it's okay now!"
"Claustrophobia...?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, "Why do I have claustrophobia?"
He turned back and glanced at the student passage, only to see that the student passage was filled with mist. Both light and shadow present a sickly distortion, looking like a mine passage hundreds of meters underground filled with dust particles.
Depressing, suffocating, crazy and chilling.
Lin Yi frowned slightly, but immediately shook his head.
Night has fallen, it’s better not to think about so many things yet.
He and Wei Liang took off their clothes and looked carefully to make sure there was no ketchup on them before putting them back on.
The two walked to the notice board, returned the canteen rules, and then left the canteen area.
……
X023 May 7, 18:33, on the campus road.
As night falls, a thin layer of fog fills the campus, and a piece of stage dry ice floats on the cobblestone road.
This is the normal state of the mountain campus. In Wei Liang’s words, there is no need to be vigilant for fog with a concentration below a certain level, but do not stay on the roads of the campus for too long at any time - especially not Close to greenbelts and shrub areas.
The easiest way is to quickly return to the building. For example, you can go back to the classroom after dinner, stay in the classroom until it is almost done, and then go to the dormitory.
The return time stipulated by the dormitory is 21:00~22:00 in the evening.
It is prohibited to leave the classroom after 21:00.
In other words, as long as the weather at night is normal, that is, there is not too much fog or rain, you can leave the classroom at almost 20:30 and rush to the dormitory to wash up and sleep.
This is the experience taught to Wei Liang by his senior.
The two walked along the cobblestone road with street lights on, and soon arrived in front of the teaching building.
The fog was not too thick tonight, and Lin Yi could clearly see the layout of the fourth floor of the teaching building through the light of the street lamp.
The teaching building is an ordinary teaching building, and the incandescent lamps are also simple incandescent lamps. Looking from a distance, one can vaguely see figures walking through the corridors and entering their respective classrooms.
There is a teacher's office at the door of each class. Next to Class 1 and Class 3, there is a staircase and a bathroom.
There are no seven or eight-story teaching buildings. There are only four four-story teaching buildings.
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly, feeling that the seven or eight-story teaching building yesterday seemed to appear in a dream.
「It’s not you who wait!!」
Lin Yi suddenly realized something, and his footsteps suddenly stopped in the distance.
"Four buildings...four floors? Why did I say four buildings?!"
He looked towards the teaching building suddenly.
The moonlight shines on the mountainous area, and the mountains and plains seem to be covered with a layer of silver frost. The thick white mist diffuses from the depths of the mountain forest, and only a thin layer remains when we arrive in front of the teaching building.
As for the teaching building...looking from near to far, it is clear that there are only one, two, three...four...
Four? !
"Four...the fourth teaching building?!"
Lin Yi looked at the back of Building C of the teaching building as if he had seen a ghost, and saw that the back of Building C had extended out at some point. A slender covered bridge, the covered bridge continued until it disappeared into the thick fog.
Under the thick fog, the vague outline of the fourth teaching building was vaguely visible.
It is an extremely wild and abstract building, standing at the intersection of moonlight and gray fog, visually giving people a strong sense of dreamlike unreality.
Like a mirage, a castle in the air.
It is also like a reflection of a chaotic world.
Under the moonlight, there is a faint shadow like a clock tower on this fourth building...
