Chapter 165 Under the Dense Fog (1100 additional words added!)
X023, May 8, 20:02.
Lin Yi took the lead in stepping out of the classroom and into the thick fog.
When he walked out, the lights in the classroom shone through the angle of the door, and there were some subtle "rustling" sounds on the ceiling of the corridor.
Lin Yi's scalp went numb and he cried out. His intuition told him that there were some soft, rubber-shaped nocturnal species huddled in the darkness of the ceiling of the corridor.
The incandescent lamp in the corridor has a lampshade, and there are some dark areas under the lamp at the connection between the lampshade and the ceiling. Those places may have become dormant places for nocturnal species.
He subconsciously reached out and touched the wall next to the classroom door.
The smooth whitewashed walls were now filled with traces of distortion, exactly the same as the walls he had felt in his previous visions.
"The outside of the classroom has begun to fall. It seems that the exposed areas of the teaching building are no longer safe. We have to leave quickly."
Wei Liang soon followed and walked out. into the classroom.
Lin Yi noticed that Wei Liang seemed a little afraid of the foggy campus.
To be honest, he felt that Wei Liang was not that simple, but it seemed that in this environment, the "weakness" displayed by Wei Liang did not seem to be fake.
It seems that the abnormal weather has suppressed him, making his magic skills much weaker, and also becoming very "unstable".
When he passed through the classroom door, the thick mist enveloped him like rice bran. The first hit made him feel as if he was about to suffocate, but he got used to it immediately.
The fog has invaded the corridor of the teaching building. The light of the corridor lamp has been weakened a lot but it is still effective, but Lin Yi feels that Wei Liang's body seems to be trembling slightly.
"Let's walk side by side." Lin Yi suggested, "If anyone feels something is wrong, just say it in advance and then put a hand on the other person's shoulder."
"Don't be so humble. Be prepared. Wait, I will put my hand on your shoulder." Wei Liang touched his arm, and he got goosebumps when he was in this environment.
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "How about... let's hold hands again?"
"..."
"Okay..." Wei Liang emphasized with a straight face, "At this time, I won't insist on whether men should accept or not kiss each other, but I must solemnly declare that I have no sexual interest in the same sex at all!"
"You fucking...get out of here!" Lin Yi's face darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched again and again, "Even if you become a little boy, I will be immune. I only like beautiful legs with black stockings!"
" And the boss’s jade feet,” Wei Liang added subconsciously.
“Okay, okay, that’s it.”
“And the little lolita in white stockings has her pink and round little toes…”
“Get out of here! No! Put your XP on me!" Lin Yi couldn't bear it anymore and really wanted Bang Bang to punch Wei Liang twice. He said angrily, "Hey, let's go, let's take it one step at a time... Bring me the hoof. ! ”
"Damn, what hooves? My hands are as good as catkins!" Wei Liang said unwillingly.
"Don't be disgusted with me." Lin Yi gritted his teeth and retorted, then took Wei Liang's hand and found the direction of the "Teaching Building-108" street light pole, and then took him with him Wei Liang walked slowly down the steps.
As Lin Yi and Wei Liang left, all the people in the classroom were divided into four parts.
The first group of people who were called upon by the class teacher and immediately followed Song Rentou and Lin Yi out of the classroom as soon as 20:00 arrived;
The above mentioned people were taken out of the classroom The second part was formed by the unusual weather outside that persuaded people to retreat;
As for the experiential students who were not called and could choose to stay in the classroom for evening self-study until 7:40 tomorrow morning, some chose to take the risk and left the classroom with the first group of people. These people formed The third part;
Finally, there are the remaining experience students.
These four parts correspond exactly to the four choices Lin Yi had in mind.
......
On May 8, 2023, at 20:08, Lin Yi, who arrived at the "Teaching Building-098" street light pole, took the opportunity to look for the "Teaching Building-097" street light pole When I was at the location, I briefly observed the surroundings and discovered an "interesting" phenomenon.
When he walked out of the teaching building, it was obvious that there were some people who came down the steps like him, but as he walked, those people disappeared.
It was obviously the same cobblestone road from "Teaching Building-108" to "Teaching Building-001", but Wei Liang was the only one beside him.
This strange feeling is like playing a multiplayer online RPG game. Everyone comes to the entrance of the instance together, but only people in a team can enter the same instance.
But the metaphor is such a metaphor. You can’t apply it to the real situation in the game, right?
And there won’t be a cobblestone road under everyone’s feet in abnormal weather, right?
Lin Yi couldn't figure it out for the moment, so he decided not to think about it too much, put the idea aside, and then think about it carefully when he returned to the dormitory.
The two walked side by side, moving slowly on the cobblestone road shrouded in thick fog. The streetlight gradually became only a vague outline, but strangely, the streetlight pole was painted with white paint. The number written on the layer seems to be unaffected by the fog. No matter how far away it is, you can tell it by just staring at it.
Lin Yi thought of something. When he arrived at the lamppost in front of him, he took advantage of his breath to reach out and touch the white paint.
"Sure enough!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up. The white paint was just as he had guessed. It felt very smooth. Its texture was not like paint, but more like... some kind of acrylic plate material. layer.
"This white paint seems to be the same material as the student ID card!"
"It's so amazing. What is this?"
At this moment, he noticed a "rustling" sound in the surrounding fog. Needless to say, he knew that the humanoid sculptures were gathering towards them.
"Lin...Yi..."
Outside the mist, the call of the humanoid sculpture rang out. Lin Yi didn't need to use his eyes to see it, he had the picture in his mind.
Such a scene was almost the same as what he had calculated in the classroom before, but the difference was that it was impossible for him to respond to such a call.
"Liangzi, are you okay?" Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang.
"It's okay, okay..." Wei Liang waved his hands repeatedly, "This is a mountainous area. The miasma becomes thicker at night. We have to hurry up and return to the dormitory. I can't wait to take a hot shower. It’s time to take a shower!”
Seeing that Wei Liang really didn’t act strange, Lin Yi calmed down a little and continued on his way with him.
The figures of the two people quickly disappeared into the fog, and they continued to move forward in the dim and dim light, and in the darkness outside this cobblestone road, in the area submerged in the fog , countless figures stared closely at the figures of Lin Yi and Wei Liang, moving slowly. Under the thick fog, there was only the sound of "rustling" mixed with the sound of the wind, and it was unclear whether it was the friction of stones on the ground. What came out was the wind blowing on the treetops.
Amidst the sound of the wind, you can still vaguely hear the strange call that seems to be coming from a distant place.
"Lin Yi..."
"Lin... Yi..."
...
May 8, 2023, 20:13.
Two figures came to the light pole of "Teaching Building-067" with some trepidation.
"I feel like I'm going to die..."
"I'm really going to die..."
Nie Yun is almost the same as Song Rentou, and they belong to several batches of experience students who entered the school earlier than Lin Yi and the others. , when he was in the classroom, he showed a dull and dull look, not interested in anything happening in the outside world.
But this is just his disguise. Facing the strange environment, he needs to remain "sluggish" enough to keep himself safe.
"Old Nie, we have been here for four days... we can get the money after three more days." Beside Nie Yun, his friend Ge Qing, who entered the campus with him, leaned against the "teaching teacher" Lou-067" gasped violently.
"I have tried very hard not to think too much...but, I have been feeling something calling my name recently!" Nie Yun looked painful and seemed to be in a trance, "I...I seemed to hear it again, It's calling my name..."
"It seems...it seems to be beside us!"
[Nie Yun...Nie Yun...][Nie Yun...]
"Uh..." Nie Yun's face became paler. He held the lamppost with one hand and rubbed his forehead vigorously with the other hand, squinting his eyes. He bent over and showed a painful expression, "I feel so dizzy... Ge Qing, I feel so dizzy..."
Ge Qing's expression changed drastically, and he quickly supported him and said anxiously: "Old Nie, Old Nie, the rules say that if you feel unwell, you should tell the class teacher immediately, we...should we go back to the teaching building?"
" Um...Okay...I, I feel really uncomfortable." Nie Yun gritted his teeth and tried his best to stay calm, but no matter how he breathed, he felt his breathing getting heavier and heavier.
At this moment, the call in his ear began to burrow into his cochlea like a poisonous snake:
[Nie Yun! Don't go back! Don't believe him! 】
【I am Ge Qing, I am Ge Qing! 】
[Don’t trust the person next to you...it’s not Ge Qing...it’s not! 】
【Look behind you, the real me is in the mist behind you! ! 】
【I'm trapped! Please save me! Help me quickly...]
Nie Yun was stunned and quickly looked at Ge Qing beside him.
"Old Nie, what's wrong with you? Old Nie, are you okay?" Ge Qing looked at Nie Yun with concern.
But in Nie Yun's eyes, Ge Qing is now a "Ge Qing" in the form of white plaster with a gray complexion and pale skin. Although the other person's face is exactly the same as Ge Qing, in his eyes, it is a squirming mass. Plaster-like face.
【Push him away quickly! Push him away! ! 】
Nie Yun seemed to hear the voice of the "real Ge Qing". The voice was urgent and full of worry, as if he was giving an order.
Nie Yun seemed suddenly startled. Relying on the strength of his back against the lamppost, he suddenly exerted force and pushed Ge Qing who was supporting him hard out!
"Old Nie, you...?!" Ge Qing's face was full of disbelief. The moment he was pushed out, he subconsciously tried to adjust his center of gravity, but the cobblestone ground under his feet It had already been wetted by the mist and was so smooth that he couldn't use it at all.
Not only did he slip, he also fell out of the area where the light from the "Teaching Building-067" street light pole and the "Teaching Building-068" street light pole connected with each other, and fell into the shadows...
" Old Nie——"
His horrified and confused scream came from the mist, and then completely lost his voice after several tragic screams.
Not long after, the cool night breeze carried some faint smell of blood and floated under the light and fell into Nie Yun's nose. He was stunned at first, but gradually he realized that he smelled the wrong smell. Now, it doesn’t seem to be the smell of blood, but the smell of fresh tomatoes...
Nie Yun’s mind is confused, it seems that he has not yet reacted to the scene just now, and the voice in his ear has not yet Disappeared, but still kept calling him.
[Well done, Nie Yun, well done! 】
【I'm behind you, please pull me up! hurry up! 】
The voice became more urgent, as if it couldn't wait any longer.
After Nie Yun took a breath, he touched his head, which was still a little confused, and slowly turned around...
Behind him was a patch of light that even the orange light could not touch. Penetrating the dark area, only intermittent calls came out of the mist, reaching Nie Yun's ears like waves hitting the beach.
【Have you seen me? Come and save me! ]
[Yes...yes, yes...that's it...come and save me...]
In the mist, someone seemed to reach out a pair of hands, looking towards Nie as if asking for help. The location of the cloud is a virtual grab.
Nie Yun approached in a daze, and with stiff steps little by little, he came to the edge of the fog.
Just when he came to the dividing line between light and darkness, the fog in front of him was suddenly separated by a strong force, and a figure standing upright like a tombstone suddenly flashed in front of him.
It was a real humanoid sculpture. Its stiff limbs seemed difficult to make any big movements, and its entire face was as sharp and angular as if it were "cut with a real knife." Its body was entangled with thick mist, and it was impossible to see it at first glance. I can't tell whether it was sprayed out from its body or connected to the surrounding mist...
It was facing Nie Yun's face, and there was only a fist distance between them. The dividing line formed by light and fog is like window paper that breaks at a touch.
The stone-like eyes of the humanoid sculpture suddenly collapsed like a power furnace, and then glowed with cold golden firelight like a bonfire. Its lips began to slowly lengthen toward the base of the ears, plaster The hard face was cracked because it could not bear the force, and half of the face was instantly covered with dark cracks.
Finally, its eyes glowed with golden light, and the smile at the corner of its mouth reached to its ears like a crazy clown. A sound was coming from its mouth, and that sound was...
[ Nie Yun, help me quickly...save me quickly...hurry...hurry hahahaha——】
The voice trembled, as if it contained some kind of fear, but gradually became crazy, then became wanton and rampant, and finally, like a crazy smile that could not be suppressed at the corner of the mouth, it revealed a wanton smile that was successful in the conspiracy:
【You... saw me! ! 】
Nie Yun was stunned, and his originally dazed and hazy brain suddenly woke up as if it had been struck by lightning.
But before he could react, the pure white palm of the humanoid sculpture penetrated the gray fog like a bayonet, grabbed his collar, and then dragged him out. Out of the light range of the street lamp pole, dragged into the darkness!
Nie Yun's frightened scream came from the rolling fog.
A moment later, a strange humanoid sculpture swayed, breaking through the boundary between light and darkness, and entered the illuminated area of the "Teaching Building-067" street lamp pole.
After that, it began to emit dense white mist like a steam train starting up. After the mist was sprayed out, it lingered around it, like the kind of belt that lingers on the top of a snow-capped mountain. The shape of the breath is the same, and the other part is like an umbilical cord connected to the fog deep in the darkness behind him.
If Lin Yi were here, he would be shocked to find that this humanoid sculpture is beginning to transform into an inhuman classmate just like the humanoid sculpture that stepped onto the steps of the teaching building before.
The mist was continuously peeled off from its body, and then slowly blended into the mist behind it.
With the loss of the mist, the pure white plaster-like texture of the human sculpture began to slowly weaken, slowly changing from pure white to off-white, blue-gray, and finally to His skin color became normal, and some kind of normal-looking uniform began to appear on his body.
"I... am Nie Yun..."
It tried to open its mouth, and then made a dry sound.
Suddenly, it arched its body and opened its mouth as if vomiting.
Then a torn card with mucus-like saliva was spat out...
It was a card that looked like a student ID, but it had lost the white acrylic plate. The material looks like a small, wrinkled piece of paper drawn on it.
But Nie Yun's "non-human classmate" picked it up nonchalantly and murmured:
"I am Nie Yun, and my student number is X0230504032..."
< br>"I am Nie Yun..."
While muttering this sentence, it walked stiffly, swaying left and right, like a drunk person, and walked slowly. In front of the street light pole, and then stood there, as if facing the street light pole and facing the wall.
Not long after, a humanoid sculpture also walked in from the mist on the other side...
The sculpture that walked in had milky white bubbles all over its body as if it had been infected by a virus. These bubbles gradually calmed down and eventually turned into a plaster-like substance, slowly transforming its shape as it squirmed. form.
When it was finalized, the outline of its face was exactly the same as that of Ge Qing who had been pushed into the mist by Nie Yun.
【Very smooth. ] Ge Qing said "Sculpture". As he spoke, white mist began to appear on its body, and then it began to change like Nie Yun's "inhuman classmate".
Finally, Ge Qing, who was transformed from a "sculpture" into an "inhuman classmate", spit out a student ID card that looked like a piece of paper that had lost its original material.
"From now on, I am Ge Qing...my student number is X0230504049..."
[But this is far from enough...] The fog is rolling outside the street light pole, and the sound of "rustling" is mixed with noisy sounds. This is the sound of humanoid sculptures, and it seems to be the same language as the nocturnal species.
