Chapter 177 "Corner" Conjecture
Lin Yi felt that Tian Bufan was a bit like a compressed file that knew many secrets. As the time he stayed on campus increased, more and more contents were decompressed...
But if Tian Bufan knew everything, why would he still explore the campus?
He couldn't understand...
Lin Yi shook his head secretly. The first thing he could confirm at the moment was that Wei Shan must have made great achievements in "beating inhuman units".
Moreover, he also wanted to ask Wei Shan if he knew anything related to the Green Mist Mark.
After attacking the nocturnal species, his body was branded with a green mist mark, and the green mist mark cannot be erased by conventional means... In addition, Wei Shan has been attacking them, so he must have been contaminated with green mist. Fog mark.
So he wanted to know what Wei Shan thought of this.
Weishan paused while washing his hands: "Is there any problem with this?"
Lin Yi slowly explained his doubts. He even doubted whether Weishan had " "Have you discovered the secret of the green mist mark?" Otherwise, how could you kick the nocturnal species and trample on the cuckold?
"Old Lin, if you ask me this kind of question, you are asking the wrong person." Wei Shan shook his head and replied without thinking, "For a systematic and theoretical answer, you should ask Mr. Tian."
"The fat man is right about this." Kuai Hongji said from the side, "The fat man does not rely on his brain to deal with things, but his 'instinct intuition'."
"Instinct..." Lin Yi frowned slightly, The biggest difference between humans and beasts is reason. If we rely on instinct to do things, what is the difference between Wei Shan's approach and that of beasts?
Kuai Hongji smiled, not knowing whether he was scolding him or scolding him: "'Blindness, stupidity', sometimes can resist pollution better than 'reason'. Fatty may be better at this point." He is the strongest among us."
"Of course, the main reason is that he has no brains..."
Before he finished speaking, a pillow was thrown at him like a sandbag. Kuai Hongji easily dodged the pillow, but someone howled out:
"Fuck! My pillow!"
Wei Liang, who was lying on the bed, poked half of his head out and looked at the pair of super enemies below like a resentful little ghost.
Lin Yi coughed dryly and picked up the pillow for him.
Wei Liang muttered something after getting the pillow. You guys are really awesome. One likes to whip the threads on my sheets, and the other likes to whip my pillow. Can you tell me in advance what you will whip next time? I'm ready for you...
He turned over and buried the pillow under his head.
"But..." Wei Shan said, "attacking non-human units will cause pollution, and pollution will attract the attention of non-human units, so once you attack them, you will fall into a vicious Cycle."
"So...the code says nothing about whether you can attack them proactively?" Lin Yi thought thoughtfully, "Because under certain circumstances, you have to attack them in order to defend yourself. It's better to knock them down and be forced to absorb the pollution than to be directly killed by them."
Wei Shan nodded: "If you have to analyze it, it's almost like this, but I didn't think much about it...seeing them. I was very irritable when I was crying, and I wanted to tear them into pieces, just like..."
He frowned and looked at Kuai Hongji.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is not humorous at all." Kuai Hongji raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I am different from them."
"It is different, but I always want to beat you up "
"Just think about it." Kuai Hongji smiled grimly, "Don't be serious, otherwise...hehehehe...I won't hold back."
"Okay, okay, Kuai Kuai, don't change the topic." Lin Yi rubbed his eyebrows, these two guys couldn't talk without saying a word.
"Weisang...do you have a 'green mist mark' on your body?"
The green mist mark is his summary of the pollution from the green mist produced when nocturnal species are killed, but he has already explained this concept just now, so there is no need for further explanation, just ask.
Wei Shan shook his head: "Actually, I don't quite understand what the mark you are talking about...what does that thing look like?"
This is easy to say, so Lin Yi put on his pajamas He took it off and pointed to his chest: "Look, this is it...but it can only be seen under special circumstances."
Wei Shan shook his head: "I can't see, but I can also feel Nothing unusual."
"It should be invisible now..." Lin Yi said.
"But...I don't feel there is a problem." Wei Shan insisted, "Maybe it's gone?"
"What's there to argue about?" Wei Liang turned over on the bed, speechless. He said, "Listen to your tone, it's not a tattoo. Maybe it was washed off when I took a shower!"
Wei Liang's words shocked Lin Yi. He actually remembered that he rubbed them off when he took a shower today. There was a lot of dirt, and he thought it was caused by him sweating a lot during the day, but maybe... the green mist mark was indeed washed away by the water?
"Bathing" has always been a thing that can purify pollution, but he overestimated the adhesion of the green fog mark.
"What you said makes sense, Liangzi." Lin Yi said seriously.
"Damn, I'm talking nonsense." Wei Liang turned over, rolled back to the cocoon position facing the wall, and buried his head under the pillow.
"Liangzi, you can just deceive us by covering your ears. Don't be afraid that you will be deceived..." Lin Yi reminded helplessly.
"I can't hear what you're barking at." Wei Liang's voice rolled off the bed.
At this time, Tian Bufan had finished taking a bath and threw a change of clothes into the washing machine: "Kuaikui, go and wash it."
"Okay." He leaned against the wall and glanced around. Kuai Hongji, who had left the piece of paper left by Song Rentou, slightly arched the wall, leaned on the recoil to straighten his body, put down the piece of paper, picked up a change of clothes, and exchanged places with Tian Bufan.
"Do you have any ideas?" Tian Bufan suddenly asked.
“What?” Kuai Hongji paused.
“Piece of paper.”
“Oh.” Kuai Hongji raised his eyebrows, “It’s trying to hide it.”
“It seems to be pretty much what I thought.”< br>
"Haha." Kuai Hongji glanced at Tian Bufan, "What do you want to test?"
"Nothing, I'm just looking forward to your interpretation."
"It's best to just look forward to... ...You guys talk first, I'll come back after I take a shower to see how you guys are doing." Kuai Hongji smiled coldly and walked to the bathroom with his clothes
When Kuai Hongji entered the bathroom, Lin Yi turned to look at Tian Bufan and Wei Shan, wondering: "What's going on with you?"
"It's no big deal, just wait until Kuai Kuai takes a bath." Tian Bufan pointed to the desk, "First of all Let’s talk about Song Rentou? It’s quite interesting.”
Lin Yi glanced at the pendulum clock on the wall.
21:48. "Okay."
It is 0 o'clock when the lights go out in the dormitory. There is still plenty of time to have a good chat.
After Lin Yi sat down, he first asked: "Were you followed by inhuman classmates on your way back?"
"Yes." Tian Bufan nodded, "Didn't it happen yesterday? In fact, it happens every day, but today is special."
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he immediately reacted.
Tian Bufan was right, nocturnal species are actually always in darkness and dense fog, and the "rustling" sound is the sound of them moving behind them...
"No, that's not what I meant." Lin Yi was almost detoured and told the story about how the inhuman classmate he met in the corridor today turned into a fake Wei Liang and inhuman classmate and followed them.
Wei Liang, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but poke half of his head out of the bed when he heard this.
"..."
But he didn't speak, looking thoughtful. After a while, he silently shrank back and buried his head under the pillow again. He didn't know if he was asleep or not.
Lin Yi sat with his back to Wei Liang and did not notice his little movements: "When I looked outside through the peephole just now, I could still see those inhuman classmates in the corridor. Come back. Did you meet him when you were there?”
“Cat’s Eye?” Tian Bufan was slightly startled.
"It's over there, it's not very obvious." Lin Yi stood up and came to the door, then groped around and found the location of the grille.
"No need to cut it open, I saw it." Tian Bufan stopped him.
His face was slightly condensed, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his serious look made Lin Yi stunned.
"Is there something wrong with this cat's eye?" Lin Yi noticed something.
Tian Bufan said helplessly: "The position of the cat's eye looks very wrong at first glance, right? Whoever designed the cat's eye in the middle and lower position of the door has to bend down to see outside, just like the upper and lower handles It's like pretending to be upside down."
"There is indeed something wrong with what you said..." Lin Yi nodded seriously, "So have you met that kind of inhuman classmate?"< br>
"We met." Tian Bufan nodded. "I don't know why, but the way back today was full of them. I had the feeling that they were all out."
"The teaching building, the way back, and There are too many in the corridor, and they don't come up by elevator."
"Yes, not by elevator," Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "Even if you take the elevator, you can't fit them all in one elevator. There are many people, and... they seem to emerge from a corner and pour out in an endless stream."
"Well, that's the problem," Tian Bufan said.
"You mean...?!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
"I guess this problem may be related to the 'corner'. Of course, this is my guess based on all the known conditions so far. Do you still remember what the dormitory code says?"
Lin Yi So I recalled it carefully...
[Each floor of the dormitory building is a circular structure (the corridor looks like a smooth arc). The first dormitory on each floor is next to the last dormitory. Connected end to end, there is absolutely no right-angle turn.
If you find a right-angle turn ahead when you are looking for your dormitory, turn around and tell yourself that there is no right-angle turn ahead, and then turn around again.
You may not move forward until you are sure the situation ahead is back to normal.
Never think that you are dazzled, and then close your eyes and reopen them to find your way to the dormitory. 】
“‘There is absolutely no direct turn.’” He seemed to have grasped a certain point.
Tian Bufan said: "Things that really don't exist will not be worth three hundred taels of silver here, just like the code tells us that the teaching building only has four floors."
"I speculate, When the layer is unstable, this unstable corner will appear in the corridor of the dormitory building. Its position should be random, or we can use our 'anchoring' of our own position to graft ourselves..."
“Then, those inhuman classmates will come out of this corner and attack the experience students according to a certain mechanism.”
"These are all my conjectures. In order to rationalize them, I added the two characteristics of 'randomness' and 'dependence'. Just listen to it and verify it when you have the opportunity in the future."
Lin Yi followed Tian Bufan's train of thought and thought for a moment, and then said: "Maybe there is a trace. After Maozi left the stairs, it was the corridor of the dormitory building he arrived at. The staircase he took was definitely not the one that came with the dormitory building itself. Stairwell."
"Perhaps when his door is opened, the corresponding position is the 'corner'?"
"And the humanoid sculpture will slowly become inhuman under the light. classmate, and there are countless sculptures in Maozi’s stairwell, including human sculptures.”
Under Tian Bufan’s guidance, Lin Yi was suddenly connected to many memory fragments. A very reasonable idea was deduced at once.
Then, referring to the humanoid sculptures on campus that can read the words they say in their hearts to anchor their identity, then these non-human classmates should also have this ability.
When they are on campus, what they read is "I am so-and-so, my student number is so-and-so, and I am going to such-and-such building" to track the experience students to that destination. land.
During this process, once the experiencer is disturbed by this sound and turns around, and suddenly sees a humanoid sculpture that looks exactly like himself, it is easy for strong mental fluctuations to occur, causing the image to drop. The crisis on this level triggers the "void enemy seeking" mechanism of the humanoid sculpture.
After arriving at the dormitory building, as long as they have not completely arrived at the dormitory, what they read is "I am so-and-so, my student number is so-and-so, and what is the number of my dormitory?" ".
With this anchoring method, they can also arrive at the corresponding dormitory in a jittery manner.
"But..." Lin Yi groped his chin and seemed to have discovered some problems, "But looking at it this way, the most they can do is arrive at the door of the dormitory, because without a student ID card, they can't enter the dormitory at all!"
"Yes." An interesting smile appeared on the corner of Tian Bufan's mouth, "So have you thought of anything?"
Lin Yi rushed to the desk and grabbed Song Rentou's I read the piece of paper carefully from beginning to end.
But as he read again and again, Lin Yi’s brows became tighter and his face became more solemn. He asked why he felt so weird when he saw this piece of paper for the first time. He could obviously read it according to the paper. The information on the film conceives what happened, but it always feels like the whole thing is shrouded in a mystery and full of indescribable weirdness.
Now, he finally knew the reason for these strange feelings.
Because——
“What’s written on this piece of paper... doesn’t seem right!” Lin Yi seemed to have come into contact with a corner of the truth, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
(Added temporarily, will delete this sentence after tomorrow’s update: I wonder if someone can deduce the truth about what Song Rentou wrote on the paper before the next chapter is updated (Welcome to join the group discussion, hey Hehe), the clues and hints have actually been given, and will be revealed in the next chapter. This paragraph was added after I published the chapter, because the chapter points are calculated based on the update, so this paragraph will not affect the word count. Don’t worry if you pay. )
