Chapter 258 The sudden change in the passage
A cold golden light suddenly flashed through the sunken eye sockets of the Penguin Puppet Art Student: "Could he be one of the two people who escaped from Teacher Buze?" "One?"
"That's him." Zhang Lingzhen nodded.
“It seems to be a tricky onion...” the penguin puppet artist thought thoughtfully, “We have to make plans for “physical zeal”. "
The bandage dummy art student nodded slightly: "I'll do the work, don't worry. ”
What's weird is that when the bandage mannequin artist nods, it feels like he's freezing and bowing slightly.
The figures of several people gradually disappeared into other passages.
......
When the slightly threatening aura disappeared from Lin Yi's perception, he raised his head again and looked towards other passages.
Looking at the scattered "people" entering it, he gradually narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully.
"There seem to be more people walking through other passages today than usual..." Wei Liang said with emotion beside him.
Lin Yi nodded: "Indeed..."
"It seems that they have all lost their student ID cards." Wei Liang said.
As if being reminded of something, Lin Yi suddenly turned his head and looked at Wei Liang.
Wei Liang was stunned for a moment, spread his hands and said in confusion: "What's wrong, did I say something wrong?"
"You're right, I was wrong." Lin Yi murmured.
He made a mistake, and it wasn't until Wei Liang casually spoke just now that he remembered.
Due to his broadened cognition, he defaulted to the fact that the people who entered other channels were sports students, art students, and pseudo-art students, but he forgot that there was also a group of people who "lost their student ID cards."
On that day, Zhou Yuting lost her student ID card and was afraid that her student ID card would be taken away from her, so she begged Xu Shunkang to take her through another channel?
This means that another fake person, Zhou Yuting, was born?
After all, the birth of a pseudo-person is based on a person losing his identity or... his life.
He glanced down at his watch.
10:39.
"It's almost time. Shall we wait at the entrance of the student restaurant?" He glanced at Wei Liang.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
A minute later, after checking the signs for the student passage, Lin Yi and Wei Liang stepped into the passage.
Just when his body crossed the boundary between the entrance of the passage and the outside, whether due to structural problems of the passage or something else, a strong wind roared down the steps from inside the passage, blowing his body unexpectedly. It shook a bit.
The wind made a circle in his ears, and then like a ghost, a low and strange call appeared:
[Lin Yi...hehehehe... 】
【Lin Yi...】
Lin Yi's footsteps suddenly sank, but by the time he realized it, the voice had drifted far away, as if it was just a cyclone. After meeting him once, he huffed away...
But despite this, the strange seeds seemed to have been buried deeply. Lin Yi began to feel a strange itching sensation in his heart. He didn't know what was going on, but he felt a little uncomfortable anyway.
Looking at the students who had entered the passage, he began to feel that something was wrong.
Actually, he has always felt that the hidden problems in the canteen area are the most serious, whether it is in terms of the units that exist, or in terms of the hidden areas within it, or... in terms of it From a layer perspective.
Especially the layer angle.
If every door in the teaching building is like crossing a layer after entering, then in the cafeteria area, except for things with the nature of "doors" such as plastic curtains, like the boundaries between layers , the student channel does not have a portal itself, but it also seems to carry the attribute of a "door".
Just when he realized this, he suddenly figured out something again - "It is indeed like this!"
"Layer Layered! "
"Because there are different levels, there are countless branches at the same point in space, so... when Ryoko and I 'teamed up' to enter the student passage, the entire passage There are only two of us in there!”
He looked around, and the sea of people just now seemed to have disappeared at this moment, and he couldn’t see it at all!
And when he thought about this point, he seemed to see phantoms around him. Each of those phantoms was an experience student, but those experience students and Lin Yi were like two time and space. Same as the people inside.
Those people had only hazy outlines, walking past Lin Yi and Wei Liang. The whole picture seemed to have used a slow-motion shooting technique specifically designed to highlight the protagonist's slow-motion movement in the flowing sea of people. .
Lin Yi understood instantly: "Actually, everyone is here, but due to cognitive or other issues... everyone only has their own 'copy'!"
Wei Liang didn't seem to notice that Lin Yi had stopped and was still walking silently ahead.
After Lin Yi saw it, he quickly followed him.
But when he caught up, he found that Wei Liang always seemed to be one step ahead of him, and he seemed to have caught up, but he couldn't catch up at all!
[Hehehehe...Lin Yi...]
A gust of wind came and blew on the back of his neck, making his hair stand up and his whole body trembled. It's all numb.
"Liangzi!" Lin Yi called to Wei Liang, but Wei Liang seemed not to hear him at all and continued to walk forward.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly surged from the student passage, as if it had experienced some kind of steep plateau terrain and gained acceleration in the canyon. The figure of Wei Liang penetrated the front and jumped on Lin Yi!
"That wind... penetrated Ryoko?!"
"No! Oops - I dropped the layer!"
Lin Yi woke up instantly, but before he could react, what? The fierce wind blew him backwards. At this moment, relying on his strong core strength, he twisted directly on the steps, then threw himself to the ground, barely avoiding landing on the back of his head. The tragic situation.
However, before he could take a breath, he found that his hand was pressed into a splash of water...
"Hua Hua Hua——"
The fierce wind had gone away from him, but the sound of gurgling water rang in his ears.
The steps...the steps are flowing!
His palm penetrated the water and touched the steps in the water. However, the steps were not ordinary steps, but stone slabs that had been eroded by the water and were extremely smooth, but full of small holes!
He wanted to stand up, but found that when he straightened his spine, he was immediately washed by the strong wind again!
The wind is still there!
Just because of the terrain, the flow layer existed half a meter above his head!
As long as he lies down, the wind cannot blow him!
But...where is the wind?
Isn’t this the student passage? !
「Student Passage...?!」
His pupils trembled violently, as if he thought of something, trying to anchor his position, but this environment did not give him any chance to focus on himself.
The strong wind above our heads was like waves, blowing one after another, like a machine that sprays water vapor in a scenic spot on a hot day, and was overturned by the wind.
Lin Yi heard the sound of chains colliding again and again. The sound... was right above his head!
It’s the wind!
The wind blew the incandescent lamp overhead!
It must be the wind!
The top of the student passage is covered with incandescent lights. Those stars-like things will undoubtedly become his biggest anchor at this moment! Just imagining daylight may not be able to anchor yourself back at this time, but if there is a light in the normal layer, it will be different!
At this moment, he was as surprised as a person in turbulent water who discovered the branches on the shore. He quickly looked up.
"Lighting clang..."
What came into view was a broken human sculpture with a crooked neck, staring at him with a pair of gray stone eyes.
「?!」
Lin Yi was frightened, his body became unsteady, and he almost slipped and fell.
His eyes kept wandering, and he saw a picture that was not even creepy enough to describe its horror!
The star-like incandescent lights have completely disappeared, replaced by countless broken human sculptures locked by iron chains. They hang above the passage like lights. The iron chains Being blown by the strong wind, the terrifying and strong wind sliced through their bodies like a blade, peeling off some fragments from their bodies from time to time...
"Ling Ling Bang - Qing Ling Bang -"
In the entire passage, there are countless human sculptures hanging, and these human sculptures seem to be somewhere between "life" and "death"!
【Lin Yi...】
【Quickly tell me where you are...】
【Quickly...】
The humanoid sculpture closest to Lin Yi suddenly spoke human words and smiled sadly at Lin Yi.
It seems to be extremely eager for Lin Yi to anchor itself away!
[Lin Yi...]
[Lin Yi...hehehehe...]
[Take us away...]
[Or - stay with us...]
[Hehehehe...]
[Lin Yi...Lin Yi...]
[You can't leave... You can't leave——]
The wilder the wind and the faster the water, the crisper the sound of the chains, like a strange music, knocking on human bones, singing the funeral of terrible resentment. Song.
"No... no no no..." Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at them.
But when he looked back, he found that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed again...
The light in the passage gradually weakened, and the darkness seemed to begin to become real. Pressing him, after the incandescent lamp disappeared, it seemed that even the light source began to disappear...
He found that the entire student passage no longer existed, or in other words, he fell out of the layer where the student passage was located. It was as if someone had pushed him from the surface of the water to the bottom of the water.
The surrounding walls are no longer pitted yellow stones and bricks, but almost smooth rock walls. The rock walls are filled with flowing water, but the source of this flowing water cannot be seen at all.
The place where the steps connect to the wall is covered with thick moss, and some cracks occasionally appear on the smooth wall. The shadows in the cracks reveal a faint green light, as if some kind of fluorescent algae are squirming. But if you look carefully, you can't see it. If you don't look carefully, it seems to be floating there like a will-o'-the-wisp.
The wind came from the front and seemed to bring some broken water drops.
Lin Yi's heart gradually sank to the bottom, but he immediately picked up his spirits.
He knew that the more real the scene he saw, the deeper his resonance with this layer. Once he really came to this layer, the hope of going back became slim. .
"Anchor! We must find the anchor!" Lin Yi's mind changed rapidly. This was no longer as simple as a vision. The flowing water at his feet, the broken water droplets, and the howling wind all directly affected him. It was no longer a hallucination in his five senses.
If it was Vision, he only needed to fantasize about the boss to divert his attention, but he just suffered a wave of combos in this environment and missed the best opportunity to fantasize about the boss.
He can actually use his identity information to anchor, but the problem is that he has not lost himself at all... Anchoring will only allow the human sculptures hanging above his head to use him!
"There must be some other way!"
"The key is... we need an anchor!"
"So is there anything that can be used as an anchor?"
Lin Yi started thinking crazily.
The so-called "anchor" is an element that can determine my "location".
"If the layers have boundaries, then the two layers must be touching together before I can move! So what I need now is...'return to the original path'?!"
「Wind!」
「Wind is the key!」
Lin Yi took a deep breath, then slowly stood up.
The violent wind blew from the front like a spiral, constantly hitting him, trying to break his spine!
He narrowed his eyes, and then faintly saw a figure in front of him...
It was Wei Liang.
Wei Liang is still climbing up the stairs, seemingly unaffected by the wind!
"It's a 'napkin'!"
Lin Yi thought of what Tian Bufan once told him. He and Wei Liang were originally on the same layer of paper, but he received and received information from another layer. pollution!
So this weird place covered his original layer, and tried to use the way he established the anchor point to follow him back to his layer!
He found the anchor point, those broken human sculptures that were tied by iron ropes and floating in the wind, and found the link to go back!
This is a dead end!
Either Lin Yi doesn't go back, or... he goes back together!
[Lin Yi...]
[Hey hey hey...]
[Lin Yi... where are you? 】
【Go back quickly...go back quickly...】
[My name is Lin Yi...I'm in the classroom...My name is Lin Yi...]
[Hehe...]
It seems that I heard Lin Yi's voice, and so did those humanoid sculptures After the showdown, everyone began to jeer and boo, like countless lonely ghosts hanging in the wilderness, shouting and laughing, their voices rising and falling, like a demonic sound.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and endured the strong wind, trying to get rid of the noise, but he couldn't isolate it.
He looked at Wei Liang's retreating figure, and finally crouched weakly on the steps.
But at this moment, as he touched the steps, he suddenly had a huge inspiration!
He thought of something that could serve as an anchor!
This anchor point does not need to know where he is or his identity information. No, this may not be an anchor point at all, but it can take him out of here!
