Chapter 156 A moth flies into a flame
"That's not right... didn't I have a student ID card when I first entered the school? Aren't they still following me?"
"So, The student ID card is not the root cause, so what is the root cause...?"
Lin Yi anchored his gaze within the range of the street lights, thinking in his mind as he moved forward, and while he was thinking, he ignored it. He heard the calls of the human sculptures behind him.
Finally, he took Li Huiyuan into the area covered by the light of the street lights.
He reached out and grabbed the lamppost. His body, which was originally as tight as a bow, slowly relaxed a little.
He leaned on the street light pole and looked at the human sculptures chasing his back, but in front of him there was only white mist rolling over and over like water vapor, just like it was on May 6th. , no figure can be seen at all.
Only the outlines of some human figures can be vaguely seen, sneakily lurking in the mist, wandering, ready to move, but stopped.
This is a very awkward state, exactly the opposite of Fang Tangjing's "I came in and I went out again, come and hit me" look, but more like "I want to come in" I don’t dare to come in, can you come and give me a hand?”
Something is wrong, very wrong.
"They are driven away by the light and attracted by the light, just like... moths flying into the flame?!"
The moment he thought of this, Lin Yi saw it in his mind as if he was psychic. A picture emerged of countless moths flapping their wings and flying around a paper lantern, as if a practitioner had attained enlightenment.
The paper lantern continued to enlarge, and then suddenly shattered, and even the fire in the lantern shattered into countless sparks.
These sparks swirled in the air, eventually extinguished and turned into fragments of ashes falling like snowflakes.
The ashes fell slowly, slowly... Lin Yi's attention followed, and then he saw a gray sky full of snowflakes. His attention followed the snowflakes falling, and he saw a turbulent black sky. The sea...
Huge waves rolled on the sea, breaking one after another on the rocks on the shore. In a rotten swamp mixed with mud and yellow sand near the coastline, one after another twisted human figures covered in mud The creatures climbed out of it, stepping on the embarrassed and deformed figure, running, crawling or squirming, not only advancing, but also rushing to the foot of a cliff...
They spread their limbs and buckled on the moss-covered wet ground. They tried to climb up the slippery rock wall, but the rock wall was too slippery to support their behavior.
But there are too many of them, crawling out like a swarm of insects from the dark area where it is unclear whether it is waves, swamps or yellow sand, and then they seem to be acting on instinct or some kind of crazy command. Driven by their desire, they rushed to the root of the rock wall one after another, then trampled on each other and climbed up the rock wall desperately.
Finally, some units climbed up the rock wall. They made hoarse and dry roars, as if shouting some kinds of painful and mutually uplifting melodies. They crawled and crawled on the rock wall, like ants. As if they had discovered fruits on rotten dead trees, they rushed up...
In the dim sky, under the flying snow, and on the side of the rushing ocean, a group of nocturnal species crawled almost vertically. On the cliff on the horizon, some units that were exhausted after rushing up fell down weakly.
This scene was like...a moth flying into a flame, but it was so familiar that it made Lin Yi feel palpitations.
This picture... isn't this picture the scene he saw when he was standing perpendicular to the cliff when his layer fell?
He vaguely remembered that the person standing on the cliff was the super being named "Night Watch" by the rules of the art department.
"Hula la——"
The pictures in Lin Yi's eyes were turning quickly like the wind blowing the pages of a book. The pictures in his mind began to collapse rapidly. He shook his head and took a closer look. The scene in front of him returned to the mist he saw when he was leaning against a streetlight, and the strange shadows in the mist that were constantly lingering outside the light, ready to move.
"Hoo, ho, ho..." Lin Yi panted slowly and glanced at Li Huiyuan beside him.
Li Huiyuan's face was also full of solemnity. She hesitated several times and finally asked: "What's wrong with you, Lin Yi? Your body temperature was very low just now, but it recovered immediately. Come here..."
"I...it's nothing. I had a little hallucination just now, and I'm fine now." Lin Yi shook his head slightly, not wanting to make Li Huiyuan more worried, but he suddenly realized something. , his eyes fell on Li Huiyuan's feet.
"Your feet..."
Li Huiyuan's standing posture is a bit weird, and her right foot feels unnaturally stiff.
She pursed her lips: "After getting under the light, I lost consciousness again..."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment.
"It's okay, Lin Yi...it will be fine when I get used to it."
"..." Lin Yi took a few deep breaths and then glanced at his watch.
18:03.
"It's only been a minute or two. It seems that I was distracted for just a moment."
"Fortunately, we were under the streetlight..."
He stood up and looked around, and soon he was Looking for the location of other street light poles in the fog.
The fog is already very thick now, but it is still worse than on May 6. As soon as Lin Yi looked around, he saw several street light poles, the closest one seemed to be about ten meters ahead. You can still vaguely see the number on the street light pole, but from a distance, there is only a hazy little sun left.
As he turned his attention to the street light pole, the originally blurry outline of the teaching building was completely submerged in the fog, and he could no longer find any shadow.
He didn't feel worried because as long as he found the lamppost, he would find his way back to the teaching building.
He stared at the lamppost closest to him, trying to see clearly the vague number on the lamppost, but he was unable to see clearly because the fog kept floating in the evening wind.
While he was squinting his eyes to observe carefully, Li Huiyuan beside him suddenly said: ""Teaching Building-106". "
"Huh? "Lin Yi glanced at Li Huiyuan in surprise, and suddenly found that Li Huiyuan's eyes had turned golden at some point.
It was a golden luster that even cosmetic contact lenses could not show, like A pool of water reflects the cold moonlight, giving off an alienating quality.
This golden touch quickly melted like ice and snow, and then Li Huiyuan was stunned for a moment. After realizing it, she said in a daze: "I wanted to see the number clearly just now, and then my sight was zoomed in like a telescope. In the past... it sounded incredible, but I feel like I must have read it right."
"I believe you, let's go that way," Lin Yi said decisively, then helped Li Huiyuan and led him. Then she walked through the orange light field and walked towards "Lamp Pole-106".
"Is the field of vision enlarged..." Lin Yi muttered in his heart.
He had been in a similar situation to Li Huiyuan before, but looking at it now, did his eyes turn golden at that time?
"When you use some abilities that are not normal, will your eyes turn golden...?"
Lin Yi always thought that golden eyes were a manifestation of pollution, but now he may have guessed well. Being able to show golden eyes meant that he had indeed encountered pollution, but he might have been in some special state at that time.
He thought of those inhuman classmates. When they were huddled in the rows of seats in the lecture theater, their eye color was normal, but when the lights in the classroom went out, their eyes turned golden. , and then start hunting those experience students who fell off the level because they saw them.
When the two of them were walking, the surrounding fog also made a "rustling" sound. This was the humanoid sculpture following their figures. When they knew what was in the fog, they began to When he understood their mechanism of action, Lin Yi no longer felt afraid of them.
The unknown is fear.
The two came to the second street lamp pole without any danger. When they saw the lamp pole number, it turned out to be "Teaching Building-106".
And in the direction where the street light pole "Teaching Building-106" continues forward, there is indeed a street light pole "Teaching Building-107", which shows that this road is indeed correct. "Let's go. If nothing else happens, we will return to the teaching building soon." Lin Yi helped Li Huiyuan and continued walking forward.
The corners of Li Huiyuan’s mouth suddenly became deflated.
"What's the matter?"
"It's nothing...it's just that I always felt that you just seemed like a person who was crazily planting flags behind your back..."
"..."
...
On May 8, 2023, at 18:12, Lin Yi supported Li Huiyuan and stopped in front of the street light pole "Teaching Building-108" Footsteps.
Looking at the steps of Building B of the teaching building in front of him, Lin Yi felt a little dreamlike and incredible about the success this time.
He raised his head and glanced at the teaching building.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
"Well, damn, the eighth floor."
Lin Yi felt inexplicably calm, as if he was saying "Iknewit" is completely different from what it was on May 6th.
"So the teaching building is indeed folded into four layers, which will be revealed when the layers fall."
At this moment, he found that Li Huiyuan's body began to get cold, and he looked sideways Glancing at her, he found that she was looking at the teaching building in front of her with her pupils contracted, her face full of shock, as if she had seen something that subverted her cognition.
"Li Huiyuan." Lin Yi shook her, shaking her back from her dazed state.
"Lin Yi, this...?!" Li Huiyuan pointed at the teaching building and hesitated, but suddenly found that Lin Yi's expression was very calm, "You... knew it a long time ago?"
"That's why I want to explore the teaching building." Lin Yi said calmly, "As you can see, the teaching building does only have four floors under normal circumstances, but when it is abnormal, there are several other floors under the glass corridor bridge. The layers will pop up."
"Anyway... don't think too much, just think 'this is how it should be'"
The concept of glass covered bridge, He thought Li Huiyuan still remembered.
Li Huiyuan nodded in understanding.
"Let's go."
The brilliance of "Teaching Building-108" stops before the steps, but during the journey after that, the corridor lights of Building B of the teaching building continue to illuminate it.
Lin Yi helped Li Huiyuan move forward slowly, pulled his feet out of the thick fog, and stepped on the steps of the teaching building.
When Lin Yi went up the steps, he had the habit of subconsciously looking at his feet. When he lowered his head, he found that the mist was high enough to cover his knees and just covered part of the steps, just like the fog on a steamer. That kind of floating water vapor.
Lin Yi suddenly thought of it, and an idea flashed in his mind. When he arrived in the corridor, he looked at the steps with the help of orange incandescent lights.
The scene outside the teaching building gave him an unreal feeling. He saw the steps slowly extending downward from his feet, and then disappeared into the thick mist, like It's like an escalator in a swimming pool.
The sky in the distance has completely fallen under the thick fog. The moonlight is invisible, and the outline of the mountain is also invisible. It seems that only the building under his feet is left in the whole world.
The evening wind swept through the mountains, and the whole world was filled with mist. In addition, the only visible street lights in the field of vision except the teaching building were sinking into the misty world. Lin Yi felt like he was in a world of mist. The sense of chaos in a world full of chimneys that continuously emitted black smoke into the sky during the European Industrial Revolution.
This lonely teaching building is like an island built in the torrent of steel in a foggy world.
"This fog..."
Lin Yi leaned down and reached out to brush against the steps, pushing aside the nearby fog like water splashes.
"Sure enough!"
On the steps under the mist, there was indeed a piece of moss growing.
"The moss in the teaching building and cafeteria really grew after the fog filled the air!"
As the mist floated, Lin Yi seemed to hear the sound of splashing water in his ears, as if his palm had penetrated the mist and really touched the non-existent water surface hidden under the mist...
Lin Yi withdrew his hand as fast as lightning, looked at his fingertips, and found that there was nothing abnormal, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're back in the teaching building. We should be safe now." Lin Yi patted his chest gently and exhaled, "emmm... It's relatively safe."
< br>Li Huiyuan looked back at the thick fog with some fear, and said with palpitations: "They...won't chase me, right?"
"No." Lin Yi shook his head, His eyes were fixed on the rolling fog, "They are afraid of the lights and will not dare to approach the teaching building until the lights of the teaching building are extinguished."
Li Huiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
But before Lin Yi finished speaking, strange figures wandering in the dark fog slowly approached the teaching building in the area not covered by street lights, like a black zombie siege. Surrounded the entire teaching building.
"Ah this..."
Lin Yi had an ominous premonition.
"Let's go, let's go! Damn, something is wrong, something is very wrong!" Lin Yi grabbed Li Huiyuan's hand, looked for the location of Class 2, Group B, and hurried over.
The three classrooms on the first floor of Building B are in the same corridor. With Lin Yi's current knowledge, he can easily find Class 2 of Group B.
Not long after Lin Yi left with Li Huiyuan, the strange figures wandering in the mist became clearer and clearer...
Finally——< br>
The mist surges.
「Huh...」
A pure white sculptural foot broke through the fog like tearing a silicone soft membrane, and stepped heavily on the steps in front of the teaching building.
Thanks to the book friend "Wealth and Freedom Life" for the reward! !
