《Rules-related weird stories: 4016》 #475 - Lin Yi, the source of darkness? Chapter 466: The Source of Darkness, Lin Yi¡­? Just as he was struggling with how to extract the limbs and torso from the body, Wei Liang, who had been waiting for too long, seemed unable to bear it any longer. ¡°Aiya!¡± he muttered, standing up and dusting off the dirt from his behind, while urging, ¡°Old Lin, what are you dawdling about trying to do?¡± ¡°Aiya!¡± ¡°I''m not watching, I''m not watching!¡± ¡°Making puppets and stuff, doesn''t it sound pretty much the same as playing with models?¡± ¡°Such a big radish, without any boundaries, just mess around with it.¡± ¡°Do you need to space out for so long?¡± ¡°Hey, I was originally going to watch¡­ I''m leaving, I''m leaving, going back to the classroom to enjoy my manga.¡± With that, he scurried off, like a passerby who leaves when the play isn''t interesting anymore. But Lin Yi began to ponder Wei Liang''s words. ¡°Playing with models? Mess around with it? Is Liangzi trying to give me a hint?¡± He repeatedly muttered Wei Liang''s words, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him. Could the focus of Wei Liang''s hint be ''without any boundaries''? He was fixated on a meticulous approach like a skilled butcher, trying to feel out the boundaries of the corpse, then find the parts closest to his envisioned creation, and then extract them. But Wei Liang''s ''suggestion'' seemed to be telling him to ignore the boundaries and just get started? Ignore the boundaries¡­ is that possible? He pondered for a while, then casually gestured in the void. And when he gestured to a certain point, a brilliant light suddenly burst out in his eyes. ¡°It''s really feasible!¡± ¡°As expected of Liangzi!¡± He realized that if his initial idea was like extracting a bracelet from a rough stone, then Wei Liang''s approach was like boldly splitting and chiseling the rough stone. There was no need to consider the boundaries at all. The so-called boundaries could be created when needed! The moment he understood, he clenched his right hand in the air. Secret runes appeared under the skin of his palm like glowing fireflies, and then countless sky-blue auras surged out, interweaving into a kitchen knife emitting a blue light. Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, grasped the handle of the knife, and plunged the kitchen knife fiercely into the root system. ¡°Clang!¡± A dull chopping sound rang out, as if a failed work from a forging competition had hit a piece of dead pork, almost getting stuck. Lin Yi didn''t pull out the knife, but directly canceled the kitchen knife, and then re-condensed the kitchen knife before chopping again. He repeatedly chopped at the same position, one knife after another, and finally, after chopping more than ten times, he completely broke through the flesh and blood, and with a ''thump'' sound, chopped onto the core spine. ¡°This root system isn''t as easy to chop as I thought, but those green skins do it so easily¡­ What''s going on?¡± ¡°Could it be related to the direction of the pollution?¡± He secretly pondered, and then tried to create some artistic green aura ¨C this was his first attempt to condense green aura, but the effect was surprisingly good. Almost with just a thought, his body instinctively mobilized the original pollution flowing through his body, and then transformed it into a lush emerald green, directly attached to the blade of the kitchen knife. Lin Yi was secretly delighted, and he wielded the kitchen knife again, and this time he chopped in almost without any resistance. He began to work boldly, but the situation of this root system was far more complicated than he imagined, and his workload far exceeded the chef in a green apron''s method of cutting off a few slices of meat. After all, the chef in the green apron''s job was just picking grapes, while he had to not only pick them, but also decompose the glucose vines. The root system formed by the fusion and growth of corpses, shimmered with a little oily sheen in the dim sunlight. Countless spinal bones were entangled like the roots of a mutated banyan tree. As the flesh and blood were removed, the calcified hyphae that grew in the gaps of the distorted ribs were also exposed, looking like some kind of connector organ of the Zerg or Aliens, bonding the collarbone and pelvis into a bizarre branch-like structure. Lin Yi was a little hesitant for a moment, should this part of the bone be taken out as a collarbone¡­ or a pelvis? If he constructed a Kabuterimon after a round of operating, it would be too funny. The thought of complaining was only a flash in the pan. Lin Yi''s focus continued to exert force. He wielded the kitchen knife and directly followed his perception to start carving bones, one knife after another, directly removing the flesh and blood from the root system one by one. What Lin Yi found interesting was that even in the same ''root system'', the properties between the flesh and blood were actually quite different. Those parts exposed on the outermost layer had already shown a tendency to petrify on the way he carried them, like the surface of a ham, but once opened, the internal flesh and blood was still very ''fresh''. When most of the flesh and blood was removed, the root system began to show some unknown changes¡­ ¡°Gle le le le¡­¡± ¡°Gle le le le¡­¡± The flesh and blood at the end of the bone were soft and a bit semi-liquefied in a viscous state. When the blade scraped there, the bone made a sound similar to the friction of oyster shells. Every time a part of the flesh and blood was removed, some black viscous liquid like petroleum would seep out from the depths of the bone. When such a liquid dripped on the ground, it seemed to be corrosive, steaming out strange mists like faces, as if some souls were mourning. ¡°Gle le le le¡­¡± ¡°Gle le le le¡­¡± Lin Yi kept scraping, and when all the bones were exposed, the bones of the entire root system suddenly emitted a pipe organ-like hum. ¡°Da da da da da¡­¡± ¡°Da da da da da¡­¡± Lin Yi felt like he was carrying a string of super-large wind chimes made of bones, or some kind of bizarre mutated arthropod¡­ The vertebral group twisted as if it had life, giving Lin Yi a feeling of baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Lin Yi found that the bone actually began to derive mist on its own! No, to be more precise, it should be those viscous, petroleum-like liquids that converted and evaporated gas when they came into contact with matter, hovering around the vertebral group, looking like they had derived mist. Lin Yi frowned. He felt that the initial project was coming to an end, and the next step was to select suitable bones as the foundation. It''s just that this vertebral group grew very disgusting, which really made people unable to sort out the clues. Wait a minute¡­ sort out the clues? Why sort out the clues again! Wei Liang''s ''stupid teachings'' were still in his ears, why did he go back to sorting out the clues again? So he directly selected a few relatively standard bones, and then directly chopped them up. ¡°Thump!¡± ¡°Thump!¡± ¡°Thump!¡± Every time a knife was chopped down, it was as if a majestic giant was hammering on a large drum made of the hide of an ancient beast, bursting out with a heavy drum sound that impacted people''s minds. Zhao Lingxiao, who had been observing Lin Yi all the time, had vaguely noticed a strange smell when Lin Yi chopped out the first knife, but she did not give up observing, and it was not until Lin Yi began to chop out the ''thump thump thump'' sound that she suddenly felt that the vision in front of her collapsed suddenly. The cloister in front of her seemed to be pierced by the thunder that shattered the darkness, and disintegrated on the spot! In the next moment, the distorted space began to fill with endless darkness. Terrifying figures wandered within the darkness. Lin Yi''s figure seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, leaving only an indescribable, unobservable, evil outline. The outline resembled a human shape, yet it was unlike any human form. It could only be defined as a "shadow"... The "shadow" waved its arms, and with each wave, the entire world trembled. "Thump..." "Thump!" The heavy thumping sound resembled the heartbeat of some ancient, slumbering beast. With each beat, reality itself seemed on the verge of collapse. "Thump..." "Thump!" A strong tremor spread from the abyss, continuously extending across the floor of the teaching building. Terrifying shockwaves rippled out like invisible waves. Zhao Lingxiao''s pupils dilated uncontrollably. Green energy, like writhing, bizarre tentacles, continuously wrapped around her body from the void... As the ripples spread, the floor of the teaching building seemed to twist and distort, and this distortion continued to spread further! Countless experimental students in the classrooms of Building B faintly sensed the tremors passing through the floor beneath their feet. A strange flicker began to appear in their hollow, lifeless eyes, but most of them immediately lowered their heads, continuing to numbly flip through the books in their hands. The door to the office of Class 2, Group B, opened, and the homeroom teacher - 040 stepped out. Her face was grave as she looked towards the direction where Lin Yi was. After hesitating for a moment, she left the office, closing the door behind her and quickening her pace towards the source of the tremors. She stealthily touched the secret-ÎÆ dagger with one hand, while placing the other hand a few centimeters below her collarbone. At the slightest sign of trouble, she would instantly switch into her combat suit and enter a stealth combat stance. Just then, the door to the office of Class 3, Group B, also opened, and a somewhat burly male teacher walked out. The latest and most complete novels are at 69Êé°É! As soon as he came out, he happened to see the homeroom teacher - 040. They exchanged a glance, and without needing to say much, they both understood the seriousness of the situation. "Together?" the male teacher asked. "This pollution appeared without any warning... it''s truly too strange," the homeroom teacher - 040''s gaze never left the direction of the corridor bridge. "Teacher 033, please retreat behind me." Homeroom teacher - 033 said solemnly, "As a gentleman, how can I let a lady step forward...?" "Alright," the homeroom teacher - 040 interrupted him. "Just listen obediently, and we''ll still be colleagues with the same ''homeroom teacher'' status. You wouldn''t want me to bring up the old days at the camp, would you?" Upon hearing this, homeroom teacher - 033''s expression changed drastically. He quickly stood up straight: "Yes, Instructor Lin, uh, I mean, Teacher 040..." "Shut up." "Yes, Instructor Lin." Homeroom teacher - 040: "..." Speechless as she was, she didn''t have time to reprimand homeroom teacher - 033, and could only cautiously advance, then feel her way to the location of the stairwell. This place was no more than ten meters away from the intersection of Building B and the corridor bridge. Looking over with the naked eye, it was still a perfectly normal teaching building environment. The only strange thing was that Zhao Lingxiao had collapsed on the ground ahead in a somewhat bizarre manner. The posture was generally like a child''s sleeping position, with knees bent and drawn up to the chest, and buttocks sticking up high, but the details were very strange. Zhao Lingxiao''s hands and spine seemed to be twisted in an anti-human way, looking awkward no matter how you looked at it. "That girl seems to be trapped by a distorted layer!" Homeroom teacher - 033''s voice was low as he tried to sense the changes ahead, but the next moment he stumbled backward two steps, leaning against the wall, his face turning pale. "What a terrifying depth of pollution! I was almost drawn in!" "In broad daylight, what kind of power could distort the layers to this extent? Could it be Grey...?" Homeroom teacher - 040 shook her head slightly, directly interrupting: "First, rule out the units on the Grey Mist side." She gently adjusted her glasses. In her bright eyes, all traces of gentleness faded away, replaced by a faint, cold golden glow. The field of vision expanded, and the distorted layers, along with the "real picture" ahead, slowly emerged in her eyes. "Ah? Why?" Homeroom teacher - 033 asked, puzzled. "Have you returned everything I taught you to me?" Homeroom teacher - 040''s tone carried some reproach. "The three essential elements of layer distortion, the most core one, is the polarity of the pollution." "The pollution from the Grey Mist side wouldn''t only cause this kind of commotion. There''s definitely just a ''unit'' inside." "Only one unit?!" Homeroom teacher - 033''s face was full of surprise. "Yes," Homeroom teacher - 040 replied calmly. Her first guess was that this commotion was caused by Yuan Lijian''s ''puppet,'' but as she gradually discerned the truth of the layers, what she saw... was actually Lin Yi. "How is it him?" "What is he doing?" She wanted to observe Lin Yi''s actions further, but suddenly felt a slight sense of weightlessness. She abruptly shuddered, quickly dispelling the idea of insight. "No! Cannot be directly observed!" "I can''t directly observe him?!" Her brows furrowed, her eyes full of horror. She could vaguely see what Lin Yi was doing, but not specifically. "Could it be related to that thing in his hand?" "The real cause of the layer distortion... is that thing in his hand?" "Teacher 040..." Just then, homeroom teacher - 033 asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?" Homeroom teacher - 040 bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, then uttered four words: "Don''t mind him!" "Ah?" Homeroom teacher - 033 opened his mouth wide. "This flag can''t be set, teacher!" "I said! Don''t mind him!" Homeroom teacher - 040 said through gritted teeth, "If it''s him, you and I can only choose to believe." "Why?" Homeroom teacher - 033 seemed unwilling. "Because we can''t beat him," Homeroom teacher - 040''s tone was somewhat resentful. Can''t beat him. What a simple and crude answer, simple enough to block a lot of nonsense. After all, this world is about reasoning, and now, Lin Yi''s reasoning is the greatest. Homeroom teacher - 040 withdrew her gaze, took a deep look at Zhao Lingxiao, and then turned and returned to the office. "I''m leaving." "Then what about that girl?" Homeroom teacher - 033 asked, "Do you want to save her?" "Homeroom teacher''s rule... [Never be a saint at any time. Many times, students know what they are doing.]" Homeroom teacher - 040 glanced at him indifferently, "Let''s go." Homeroom teacher - 033 hesitated for a moment, then also turned and left. If he continued to watch, he would also risk being polluted. #474 - Everything is ready ¡°I don¡¯t mess with mystic runes; I''m not familiar with them.¡± ¡°Not mystic runes?¡± Zhao Lingxiao''s eyes darted around. ¡°Then, could it be ritual studies? Actually, I''m also somewhat interested in ritual studies¡­¡± She observed Lin Yi''s expression, cautiously probing, ¡°Or¡­ alchemy?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ Your dream-weaving major?¡± ¡°But I haven''t heard of such things having a sleep-aiding effect on dreams¡­ That''s really strange.¡± Lin Yi revealed a cold smile: ¡°What if my major is architecture?¡± ¡°I guessed right!¡± Zhao Lingxiao snapped her fingers, silencing Lin Yi. Lin Yi: ¡°¡­¡± Please, you¡¯d say that no matter what I said, right¡­ He felt that this seemingly pitiful but actually black-bellied little devil had a strong NPC vibe¡­ Like those conversations you can''t skip even if you spam the spacebar, she could talk non-stop, making your thumb ache from pressing so much. ¡°But¡­ architecture¡­ sounds like a really old major¡­¡± Zhao Lingxiao tapped her finger on her lips, as if lost in thought. But what I''m going to do actually has nothing to do with architecture¡­ Lin Yi looked at Zhao Lingxiao like that, and said silently in his heart. He silently climbed the steps, and the moment he stepped on, he glanced at the time. 12:41. The return trip took nearly 20 minutes. He looked at Zhao Lingxiao, who was closely following him, and said with a very serious expression: ¡°I''ll say it one last time¡­ If you continue to follow, you will bear all the consequences of what happens. If an accident occurs, I definitely won''t be able to save you.¡± Zhao Lingxiao''s face still had the same playful smile as all the way here: ¡°Relax, I understand! Let''s go, let''s go!¡± Seeing that Zhao Lingxiao hadn''t changed at all, Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then stopped saying anything and walked towards the corridor bridge on the side of Class 3, Group B. The afternoon sun was gloomy, as if the entire teaching building was shrouded in a haze. Those nocturnal species curled up in the shadows seemed to have smelled the aura of the ¡°roots¡± and were ready to move. But after all, it was daytime. Although the sun was not strong, it was still there. Even if the nocturnal species were a little restless, they didn''t dare to go too far. On the corridor bridge, Tian Bufan, Kuai Hongji, and Wei Liang were already waiting, but Wei Shan was not there. Seeing Lin Yi carrying two sections of ¡°roots,¡± Tian Bufan revealed a hint of surprise, but quickly returned to calm. In comparison, Kuai Hongji''s expression was much calmer. However, he glanced faintly at Zhao Lingxiao, who was following behind Lin Yi¡­ Zhao Lingxiao was following Lin Yi, with a smiling face, but suddenly she seemed to sense something, and looked towards the front of Lin Yi following some kind of premonition in her heart. The front of Lin Yi was¡­ Kuai Hongji. His thin, bamboo-like figure was just standing there, as if it was a thick darkness that even a hurricane could not blow away. The moment she saw Kuai Hongji, Zhao Lingxiao only felt a blockage in her chest, as if an extremely cold aura had fallen from the void, enveloping her. Her body tensed up all of a sudden, as if a pair of invisible hands were grabbing her ankles, dragging her into a gloomy ice cellar. Just seeing Kuai Hongji''s appearance made her body tremble, her legs weakened, and she almost fell onto Lin Yi. Lin Yi secretly quickened his pace by two steps, and Zhao Lingxiao fell to the ground because she couldn''t lean on Lin Yi. Lin Yi glanced back at Zhao Lingxiao. ¡°What are you doing???¡± Why are you suddenly putting on such a delicate, willow-supporting-the-wind act? He was puzzled and had no intention of helping her up. After all, this little devil had too many micro-operations, and he didn''t want to be manipulated by her at a critical moment, so he continued to walk towards Tian Bufan and Kuai Hongji. After falling, Zhao Lingxiao felt the cold touch and rough texture of the teaching building''s ground, and her spirit also recovered. She looked at Kuai Hongji in front of Lin Yi with incomparable dread, and her already somewhat pale face suddenly became even paler. She looked at Kuai Hongji, and suddenly felt that Kuai Hongji had become much more normal. The terrible darkness that was as thick as ink seemed to have never appeared at all. Seeing Lin Yi coming over, Tian Bufan spoke first: ¡°Wei Sang went back to the class.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Lin Yi nodded, then looked at Wei Liang in surprise, ¡°Eh, why are you here too, Liangzi?¡± Wei Sang needed to conserve his energy to deal with possible emergencies that might occur at night, so it was normal for him not to be here, but Liangzi was actually here. You know, Wei Liang was becoming more and more mysterious now. He never participated in their discussions before, but now he was actually together. ¡°What''s with being here or not? I was just passing by on the way to the toilet, you understand?¡± Wei Liang curled his lips, completely ignoring Lin Yi''s skeptical gaze, ¡°I''ll just take a peek and then go back to the class.¡± ¡°Moreover, eh¡­?¡± He suddenly noticed the ¡°roots¡± in Lin Yi''s hand and became interested all of a sudden, ¡°Old Lin, where did you dig up these two big radishes from?¡± Wei Liang suspiciously came closer, hunching his back and carrying his hands behind his back, like an old man circling a young man returning from hunting. ¡°No, no¡­ radishes don''t grow like this either.¡± Wei Liang shook his head. Rarely seeing Wei Liang become interested, Lin Yi smiled and handed the roots over: ¡°Want to take a closer look?¡± Who knew that the moment these two sections of roots left Lin Yi''s hand, Wei Liang screamed strangely and jumped back: ¡°Don''t look, don''t look, don''t look! You can keep them for yourself and eat them slowly!¡± Lin Yi sighed helplessly and stopped paying attention to Wei Liang, looking at Tian Bufan and Kuai Hongji and saying: ¡°I''ve got the stuff, it should be better than the expected materials.¡± Tian Bufan looked at the roots and nodded slightly: ¡°It looks like they are indeed a bit unusual¡­ Did you steal them from the green apron chef?¡± The corners of Lin Yi''s mouth twitched slightly: ¡°You guys knew from the beginning that there was something wrong with that chef, right?¡± ¡°What kind of proper chef would take the initiative to come to you?¡± Tian Bufan asked rhetorically, ¡°Taking materials from the green apron chef is indeed better quality than from the pseudo-human sculpture.¡± Lin Yi said: ¡°But this isn''t the green apron chef¡­¡± While putting it down, he told about the situation in the other passage. ¡°I suspect¡­¡± He paused for a moment and glanced at Zhao Lingxiao. Zhao Lingxiao had a look of eagerness to learn, pursing her lips, her eyes full of anticipation. Lin Yi stopped paying attention to her. After all, he had already advised Zhao Lingxiao twice, but Zhao Lingxiao''s head was still so stubborn. Once she was contaminated by cognition, she could only accept her fate. ¡°I suspect this is part of the ¡¸Burial Body¡¹. Although the convenience store has contained the ¡¸Burial Body¡¹, perhaps its capacity is limited and it cannot carry the entire ¡¸Burial Body¡¹¡­¡± ¡°The remaining part is in the green apron chef''s base.¡± ¡°Moreover, the Burial Body there is like a huge old tree root, with countless roots hanging down, covering the entire stone cave.¡± He simply explained again his discovery regarding the number ten dining window and the cooking ingredients. "I manipulated the green apron chef to chop off the tips of two of them and transported them out." "I think this thing, in essence, should be some kind of raw material. As long as I break down the useful parts from it, I should be able to assemble a ''puppet''." Tian Bufan nodded: "Then take advantage of the fact that they haven''t started to petrify yet, and quickly give it a try." Although these two root tendrils were stolen from the main body of the ''Burial Entity,'' they cannot avoid being petrified under the sunlight. It''s just that their resistance is greater, and they petrify more slowly. Kuai Hongji also stepped forward, taking out a corroded bronze vessel. The latest novels are available first at 6_9_shu_ba. This bronze vessel was somewhat incomplete, about the size of a foot warmer¡ªperhaps it was once a fragrant foot warmer. However, after losing its lid and handle, it was taken out by a fanatic from who knows what corner to hold extraordinary substances. That basin of extraordinary substance, in the daytime, looked like a non-Newtonian fluid, presenting a somewhat grayish-white liquid texture. When this vessel was taken out, Lin Yi keenly felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped significantly. In the dark areas of the teaching building, a series of "rustling" sounds echoed, and vaguely, there seemed to be some murmuring whispers. Kuai Hongji glanced around indifferently, a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. He didn''t say anything, but those restless sounds seemed to sense something and calmed down one after another. Zhao Lingxiao looked at the viscous, paste-like extraordinary substance in the vessel, a pair of eyes faintly shimmering with golden light. She lowered her head and tried her best to push up her glasses, and after a while, she calmed her mind. But despite this, she still looked over again. The light in her eyes still flickered, and her tongue also poked out from the corner of her lips, gently licking them. The look of desire in her eyes ultimately couldn''t be restrained at all, as if it was about to flow out of her eye sockets. She knew very well that kind of solid-liquid mixed extraordinary substance was "materialized extraordinary substance," but she had only seen it in the illustrations in textbooks and had no chance to see the real thing at all. Not to mention such a large basin of extraordinary substance. Where did he get it from? In an instant, Zhao Lingxiao thought of many possibilities if she could get the extraordinary substance in the future¡ªeven if she only got a little bit, it might be enough to change her life! She could use the extraordinary substance to exchange for a spot in Master Matthew''s academic research course, "On the Revelation of Star SecretÎÆ to the Barren Present World." No, it was even far more than that. Master Matthew might even be willing to pick her up in person! Extraordinary substances that are not easily obtained are precious treasures in the world, let alone already materialized extraordinary substances! The desire in Zhao Lingxiao''s heart was gradually ignited, but suddenly, a gloomy sneer sounded in her ears. This sneer was like a bucket of cold water being poured on her head, instantly extinguishing the desire in her heart. She lowered her eyes in horror, daring not to look at anyone except Lin Yi. "Kuai Kuai." She knew that it must be the man named "Kuai Kuai" who was watching her. That kind of gaze was as cold as ice, like a poisonous snake lurking in the rainforest, even more terrifying than a poisonous snake¡ªit was a huge sea snake under the sea, looking at her on the surface of the water under the dark ice pool, ready to drill out and eat her at any time. How did that Lin Yi get involved with them...? Could he be controlled, forced to do something? Or are they in the same group? Zhao Lingxiao''s thoughts surged, and some strange emotions spread in her heart. This emotion seems to be... regret? Regret? Regretting getting involved in this matter? No, she doesn''t regret it. Compared to "regret," she seems to be more "annoyed." She is annoyed that she doesn''t have the ability to intervene at this time and then directly and forcibly "requisition" this entire vessel of extraordinary substance. Lin Yi, who was on the side, captured Zhao Lingxiao''s emotional changes and could also clearly perceive her desires and impulses, but he didn''t say much because he knew that Kuai Kuai had already given Zhao Lingxiao some warnings. In this situation, if Zhao Lingxiao still dares to influence him, then he will not be soft-hearted. Looking at this vessel, he opened his mouth in surprise: "How did you take someone else''s thing?" Kuai Hongji was speechless: "Otherwise, what would I use to hold it?" His answer was too natural, and his indifferent face seemed to be engraved with words like "The facts should be so, you and I don''t need to discuss it too much." Lin Yi pursed his lips, silently took the foot-warmer-sized vessel, placed it at his feet, and then threw the two sections of "root tendrils" aside. He silently adjusted his breathing, as if he was refining his energy, spirit, and essence, preparing to cook a big meal. Tian Bufan watched him with great interest, seemingly looking forward to what he would do next. Wei Liang also rarely looked over, looking at the two huge "radishes" with curiosity. Zhao Lingxiao didn''t actually know what "root tendrils" were. Even if Lin Yi mentioned something about a "Burial Entity," she didn''t understand it at all, but she vaguely felt that this unrecognizable thing might also be some kind of rare material, perhaps even more valuable than extraordinary substances. It''s unbelievable... So many people entered the campus, even excavating some information would be amazing, why can he still collect special resources from the campus? Zhao Lingxiao''s heart was full of restless thirst for knowledge. She had a little bit of regret. If she hadn''t lied to Lin Yi in the first place, wouldn''t the relationship between the two of them be so bad? Or... her deception should be more secretive, at least not discovered by Lin Yi. In that case, if she asked Lin Yi for some scraps, would Lin Yi possibly give them to her? While she was in a state of inner turmoil, Lin Yi had already adjusted his state. He recalled the green-aproned chef''s skillful knife work like a butcher dissecting an ox, slowly permeating the "root tendrils" with his perception, trying to sort out the boundaries of each broken corpse that made it up. But as he continued to perceive, he gradually frowned. These corpses were all growing together in a way that violated human cognition. Some bones were connected to the spine, while others had arms attached to the sternum of another corpse, like ribs blossoming. If you want to sort out a "human-like" appearance like this, it really requires a lot of dissection skills. #473 - See Zhao Lingxiao Again Originally, upon hearing that voice, Vehicle Green Chef felt something was off. Then, seeing Lin Yi''s face, which closely resembled "his own," it was completely dumbfounded. What''s going on? It seemed to be thinking, ''I am Lin Yi, so who is this imposter?'' But at this moment, Lin Yi swiftly snatched the two "root hairs" from its hand. Upon contact, he reclaimed the portion of his will "lodged" within its body, along with the arm he had tampered with, which he also detached. Immediately afterward, before Vehicle Green Chef could react, Lin Yi, with a bit of ash on his fist, punched it back into the other passageways. ¡°I¡­¡± Vehicle Green Chef, watching the passageway exit recede into the distance, revealed some human-like struggle due to excessive anchoring. ¡°I am Lin Yi¡­ as long as¡­ I reach¡­ that place¡­¡± ¡°I¡­¡± It crashed heavily to the ground, greeted by the green-bibbed chefs who had finally caught up, panting and puffing. These green-bibbed chefs surrounded Vehicle Green Chef, all wearing their signature eerie smiles, but at this moment, each green-bibbed chef''s face seemed to express something. "So you''re the one calling yourself Lin Yi?!" "Weren''t you pretty slippery with your movements just now?" "Yell a little louder!" It was unclear who struck the first blow, but soon it was impossible to tell which hand was attacking Vehicle Green Chef, the main goal being to disable its mobility first. But as they were hitting, one of the green-bibbed chefs seemed to realize something terrifying and retreated to the side. ¡°Ash¡­ ash¡­¡± All the green-bibbed chefs scattered in an instant, then, as if they had seen a ghost, they threw Vehicle Green Chef into another passageway. As if to say, "Die far away!" ¡­ October 23, 2023, 12:23 PM, in front of the entrance to the other passageways. After dealing with Vehicle Green Chef, Lin Yi immediately glanced at the time on his watch. Then, he gazed into the other passageways with interest, his eyes full of anticipation. After just a few glances, he felt that the two "root hairs" in his hand seemed to be undergoing some kind of malignant qualitative change, so he wanted to rush back to the teaching building. These two "root hairs" were actually the raw materials he planned to use to construct a "puppet." Primitive puppets often only require simple construction. His original plan was to use his own perception as a link to sneak a portion of his will into a green-bibbed chef''s body. When it reached the green-bibbed chefs'' gathering place, he would launch a surprise attack, kill one or two green-bibbed chefs, and then use their corpses as raw materials. After all, since it would take some time to go to Green Forest Belt anyway, spending some time dealing with green-bibbed chefs was the same ¨C of course, originally he had to go to the Barren Land to get extraordinary materials, and Green Forest Belt was a necessary route. But now that Kuai Kuai had taken care of the extraordinary materials, there were naturally more choices for the remaining material acquisition. Moreover, judging from his understanding of non-human units, the "material level" of green-bibbed chefs seemed to be much higher than that of Pseudo-human Sculptures. So he arranged this scene, but he didn''t expect the green-bibbed chefs'' base to bring him far more surprise and fright than expected, forcing him to try to collect some higher-level, more disgusting materials. Then, he also injected a small amount of soul ash into Vehicle Green Chef''s body, trying to squeeze out the last bit of its value and use it to ignite the other green-bibbed chefs. But just a few steps after he turned around, the Vehicle Green Chef that he had thrown into the other passageway was thrown back out. Seeing Vehicle Green Chef struggling to get up from the ground, Lin Yi knew that the plan to set fire to the green-bibbed chefs had failed. ¡°Alas, the one who tied the bell must untie it.¡± Lin Yi sighed helplessly, walked over and pressed down on the green-bibbed chef, grabbed it by the back of its neck, and dragged it along the ground like a kitten. The green-bibbed chef kept struggling, trying to break free from Lin Yi, but under the sunlight, its own power was suppressed extremely severely, and Lin Yi''s sky-blue aura, like a rainbow piercing the sun, suppressed it fiercely. Lin Yi, holding the two disgusting "root hairs" under one arm and dragging the green-bibbed chef with the other, began to stride towards the teaching building. Before he had walked far, the green-bibbed chef began to turn into a blue-bibbed chef, and its will floated out like a double exposure in a layer. Before long, its body began to turn white, and its shadow-like will also began to fade and annihilate. Finally, the green-bibbed chef seemed unable to maintain its form any longer. The shadow collapsed into green powder particles, and its body turned into a pure white plaster sculpture. Lin Yi casually threw it to the side of the road, clenched his palm, secret patterns floated within his palm, sky-blue aura intertwined, and a baseball bat formed. He gripped the baseball bat and swung it at the blue-bibbed chef''s sculpture. ¡°Bang!¡± The green-bibbed chef sculpture shattered into countless small stones, rolling all over the ground. Lin Yi crushed them one by one, and with a gust of wind, the sculpture fragments scattered like chalk dust without a trace. Lin Yi tightened the two "root hairs" under his arm and quickened his pace towards the teaching building. Just as he was returning from the road on the other passageway side to the proper road in the cafeteria area, he discovered that someone was standing at his route point, seemingly having watched him for a long time. That person was wearing a somewhat dirty school uniform, and their figure gave him some familiar feelings. Taking a closer look, he discovered that it was Zhao Lingxiao, who had only separated from him in the early hours of the morning. Seeing Zhao Lingxiao, Lin Yi was slightly stunned, but he didn''t intend to greet her. He just coldly bypassed her, holding the two "root hairs". This Zhao Lingxiao had deceived him with a pitiful appearance as soon as they met, mixing a lie into every ten sentences, directly misleading his first impression. She was not someone easy to get along with, and he had to keep his distance. This was the experience Lin Yi had summarized after spending a night with her. Seeing Lin Yi treat her like air, Zhao Lingxiao immediately frowned, but it was only for a moment. Her brow relaxed, replaced by a hint of anger. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, why are you like this, ignoring people directly? That''s too rude, right?¡± She stepped onto the cobblestone road and chased after Lin Yi, launching into a barrage of words without explanation, her pitiful face filled with a mix of delicate and angry expressions. Lin Yi remained silent, only focusing on hurrying along. Seeing this, Zhao Lingxiao held her breath and followed behind Lin Yi. After walking at a brisk pace for about ten minutes, Lin Yi quickly entered the teaching building area, and Teaching Building B appeared not far away. He glanced helplessly at Zhao Lingxiao, who was like a plaster, and sighed: ¡°Please, you''ve been following me all the way.¡± "I followed you all this way just to get a single word from you, didn''t I?" She put her hands on her hips, questioning him with indignant dissatisfaction. Lin Yi said your acting is not bad, but it''s a lot worse than last night: "Are you done?" "Not yet!" But Lin Yi seemed to not hear her at all, and just said lightly: "If you''re done, then goodbye, see you." "Hey!" Zhao Lingxiao followed again, chasing after him, "You''re too heartless! We''ve worked together, can''t you even say a word?" She quickened her pace, rushed in front of Lin Yi, spread her arms, and blocked him: "Hey, has anyone ever told you that you''re like a heartless scumbag from Baldi''s Basics?!" Lin Yi felt a trace of annoyance towards this persistent woman, and frowned, asking: "So Zhao Lingxiao, what do you want?" "I saw you smash a chef''s sculpture... To be precise, I saw the whole process." When Zhao Lingxiao said this, her eyes were full of excited brilliance, with a kind of Lin Daiyu''s spirit shining brightly, charging towards the Heavenly Palace, "So handsome!" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes: "Get to the point." He didn''t believe that this woman would be infatuated, let alone come to him for no reason. After all, they originally had nothing to do with each other, but Zhao Lingxiao deliberately approached him, which was too suspicious. Could it be for the "Root"? It''s not impossible... So should I strike first and just kill her? Lin Yi subconsciously pondered for a moment, but immediately rejected it. The other party is, after all, a person, and hasn''t shown any malice. If I really attack her, will it bring unnecessary trouble? Forget it, better to avoid trouble... In principle, he can''t attack Zhao Lingxiao for the time being¡ªbut if Zhao Lingxiao affects his work, then even if it''s a principle, I''m afraid he can only put it aside for the time being. Zhao Lingxiao seemed to also notice Lin Yi''s sense of alienation, and felt that she couldn''t muddle through anymore, so she restrained some of her acting skills, shrugged her shoulders, and confessed: "I saw that thing in your hand, it''s very strange, but it''s very similar to some transcendent substances used to study star secret patterns that I saw in textbooks, so I wanted to come over and take a look..." "No." "Why?" "No means no, you''ll die if you look at it too much." Lin Yi earnestly advised, "Listen to my advice, the water here is too deep, you can''t handle it." "My teacher said, Confucius once said, ''If you glimpse the Dao in the morning, it''s okay to be killed in the evening.''" Zhao Lingxiao gritted her teeth and insisted, "I''ll die if I die, I still want to see it." The corners of Lin Yi''s mouth twitched fiercely. [Isn''t it, sister, Confucius said is Confucius said, what''s with this weird Chinese-to-Chinese translation?] And what''s with this fanatical feeling of not wanting even her life just to take a look? Are you the real fanatic?! "I''m putting the ugly words first, the weight of some contaminations is not something a person can bear. If you want to see, then see, but you''re responsible for the consequences." Lin Yi left a sentence, turned around, and hurried towards the steps of Teaching Building B. He still had to go find Kuai Kuai, and really didn''t have much time to waste words with Zhao Lingxiao here. Seeing this, Zhao Lingxiao''s eyes were full of joy. Lin Yi took all of this into his eyes, and couldn''t help but sigh faintly. He always felt that Zhao Lingxiao had some of the temperament of a "Mist-Piercing Light Seeker". Normal people who saw the corpse-pile form of the "Root" in his hands, those with slower reactions would have their cognition collapse early, and those with faster reactions would run away as if they had seen a ghost, how could they still stick to him. But Zhao Lingxiao not only stuck to him, but also seemed very interested. Was he the only one who thought this thing was disgusting? It''s like holding so many broken corpses... So she followed beside Lin Yi, chattering non-stop like a little magpie. "Where did you find this thing?" "Didn''t you say you saw everything?" "I only started watching when you were beating up that green-aproned chef. I had just finished eating and was about to leave, and then I heard some movement, and when I turned my head, I saw you violently beating the green-aproned chef..." Her tone was sincere, with a feeling of "I saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu." "Okay, I''m not interested in these things." Lin Yi interrupted Zhao Lingxiao and continued on his way. "Although you''re not interested in these things, I''m interested in yours! Tell me about it!" "I won''t tell you." "Oh, you''re such a hateful person, impossible to reason with! Or, you tell me where you got it, and I''ll tell you where my clothes came from?" Zhao Lingxiao grabbed the corner of her clothes and opened it for Lin Yi to see. "I''m not interested." That''s what he said, but Lin Yi still took a look. He remembered that Zhao Lingxiao''s clothes were also dirty and tattered, just not as outrageous as his own avant-garde tattered openwork style, but now, although they were a bit dirty, they weren''t torn at all. What''s going on? "Are you interested?" Zhao Lingxiao exclaimed, "Let''s exchange information!" "I''m not interested." Lin Yi walked on in silence. Zhao Lingxiao pouted, somewhat dissatisfied: "Okay, okay, consider it my apology! These clothes are actually from those classmates who have already died." "Are you a devil? Licking bags even onto your body?" Lin Yi was about to say, but when he thought that his own behavior of taking Pan Jian''s digital camera also belonged to the category of licking bags, just not as perverted as Zhao Lingxiao''s. "They''re already dead, keeping their clothes doesn''t make any sense. What''s wrong with me making use of waste?" Zhao Lingxiao said frankly, "Besides, some clothes are almost petrified, it wasn''t easy for me to find this set." Truly a little devil with a smiling face and a dark heart... Lin Yi secretly commented in his heart. The little devil followed up and asked: "So where did you get those things?" "..." "If you don''t want to say, then forget it." Zhao Lingxiao pouted, and suddenly said again, "Then can you tell me what you''re going to use them for? Their characteristics are constantly flowing away, you should be processing them soon, right?" "The teacher said that for this kind of meat secret pattern material, freshness is very important. Only when it''s freshly fresh can you get the highest quality." Lin Yi''s mouth twitched: "Is your secret pattern teacher a chef?" "You know that too?" Zhao Lingxiao blinked, "Although she never admitted it, the things she makes are really delicious." Lin Yi felt like he couldn''t continue the conversation. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Lingxiao would follow his lead and continue. #472 - Green kitchen car, 0-100 acceleration in 03 seconds Chapter 463: "Green Chef Ride," 0-100 km/h in 0.3 seconds Lin Yi really wanted to drag the eerie art female teacher over, press her head into that pot, and fill it with the viscous white liquid, then question her, "Is this what you call ''Glorious Evolution''?" Evolving from a beast of burden into another kind of beast of burden?! Oh, no, that''s not right¡ªperhaps after ''Glorious Evolution,'' they might have a chance to enter that 0.001%. As his perception deepened, streams of information were gradually fed back into Lin Yi''s mind. A filthy and disgusting kitchen, so repulsive that it made him tremble and feel physically ill, appeared in his mind. That kitchen was piled high with corpses, indistinguishable whether they were from humans, Nightwalkers, or other humanoid entities. They were randomly stacked there, black liquid seeping and flowing from under the pile of corpses¡­ Some of the larger pieces of meat were still wriggling slightly, and some meat seams had eyeballs growing out of them. The ends of those large eyeballs were connected to the meat with blood vessels and meridians, but at this moment, they seemed to be alive, rolling around. Lin Yi immediately understood where the disgusting and nauseating smell he had encountered on the way here came from. This was the source. Some green-aproned chefs nimbly grabbed some soft, wriggling pieces of corpses, chopping them up or turning them into noodle-like substances, and throwing them into a steaming bronze pot. The pot was mostly rusted, with countless worm-like reliefs protruding from its surface. Swollen organic matter floated in the boiling, dark green soup, and some severed limbs kept rolling over under the propulsion of the bubbles¡­ When the green-aproned chefs stirred the prepared ingredients in the pot, some ''ßÞßÞѽѽ'' sounds mixed with bubbles emerged from the pot, like babies crying. "Ugh¡­ ugh¡­" Lin Yi almost vomited; his stomach was churning violently. After they fished out the cooked stuff, they would thoughtfully pour a slice of soul juice on top¡ªthe ketchup they got from the honeycomb-like holes. "Could this be spaghetti with meat sauce? Ugh¡­" Even though he had reached that level of understanding, seeing that scene with his own eyes still made Lin Yi feel as disgusted as possible. But at the same time, a bizarre concept emerged in his mind¡ªcould this be behind window number ten of the food stall? At this moment, the green-aproned chef finally moved, starting to walk in a direction away from the kitchen. As it moved, Lin Yi''s perceptual field, radiating around it, also shifted and began to slowly move along the nearby walls. When his perceptual tentacles spread over a certain area on the stone wall, he couldn''t help but sense a strong sense of summoning, and he looked over in that direction. In this grotto filled with mist, the rugged stone walls seemed to refract thousands of strands of wriggling light, like phosphorescent fire floating in an old forest on a summer night, with a hint of eerie color. A trace of Lin Yi''s will slowly floated out from the depths of the green-aproned chef''s body, manipulating the green-aproned chef to look in that direction¡ªthe green-aproned chef didn''t even realize that it had made this physical action. When it turned to that direction, a flash of bright gold suddenly burst out from its gray-golden eyes¡ªLin Yi''s will erupted through the body of another! "Vision Insight," activate! Perceptual tentacles, continue to follow! With the dual blessing of vision and perception, he gradually cleared the mist and saw a strange corner in the depths of the distant grotto¡­ The phosphorescent light spots were not a light source, but a crystal-like substance, some teeth and finger bones embedded in the rock. But whether in shape or structure, they seemed to be quite different from the human body, and it was impossible to judge how that thing became like crystal. On the stone wall around the bone-shaped crystal, there were also some strands stained with green viscous liquid. Following the source of the strands, Lin Yi saw a scene that made him shudder once again. A huge tumor-like aggregate hung from the dozens of meters high dome of the grotto, with thousands of remnants growing together in a way that violated anatomy¡­ The femurs of those corpses grew coral-like branches, the ribs squeezed out semi-melted visceral moss, and several suspended suspected female corpses were relatively well preserved, but their chests were wide open, and dark red "roots" as thick as pythons drilled out from between the fractured ribs¡­ The faces of the female corpses were half-hanging aside, growing together with some other structures. The contours of the faces made Lin Yi feel a burst of familiarity, seemingly Zhou Yuting, who had died a day ago. Inside the pile of corpses, dozens of spines could be faintly seen connected end to end, forming some indescribable mutated structure. The nerve bundles covering the surface of the spine pulsed like blood-sucking vines¡­ Such a combination revealed a kind of flesh cybernetic heretical beauty. On the huge pile of corpses, countless chain-like "roots" seemed to hang down, all of which were aggregated from corpses grown in a way that violated ordinary people''s cognition. They floated and swayed, always drooping to near the ground of the grotto. There, countless green-aproned chefs were busy cutting the "roots" with the knives at hand. Their faces wore eerie smiles, their eyes widened like copper bells, and the corners of their mouths grinned evilly to the roots of their ears. They repeated the chopping movements at hand with fanaticism and greed, dissecting the corpse pieces from the "roots" with incomparable skill, and then transporting them to the direction of the Hell''s Kitchen¡­ The ingredients cooked in that kitchen were actually "grown" on these roots! The green-aproned chef, controlled by Lin Yi''s "parasitic" will, was obviously about to join the dissection army at this moment. When it approached and reached out to pull the "root", the skull at the end of the "root" suddenly twisted 180 degrees, and the mandible opened and closed, making a booming sound like a pipe organ bass stop¡­ "Living person! There''s a living person!! There''s a living person!!!" The skull suddenly shouted loudly, and then the entire pile of corpses trembled, and rotten meat debris rustled down¡­ "Catch him!" "Catch him!!" Countless mouthparts in the pile of corpses began to shout, and the noisy sound vibrated the inner walls of the grotto like sound waves, and countless soil and stone debris followed and fell. Inside the grotto, soil ash and mist blended together. If there were living people here, they would cough to death on the spot due to air pollution. All the nearby green-aproned chefs stopped their original work in an instant, standing still like a crashed robot, while the green-aproned chef looked around in confusion, and didn''t realize there was a problem with it at all. Just then, the will that Lin Yi had injected into its body erupted completely. In an instant, it seized control of that body. Then, it raised its right arm, and the sky-blue aura that Lin Yi had previously injected into it surged out like a dam bursting. It intertwined wildly, eventually forming a sky-blue cleaver! Lin Yi decisively waved the cleaver, hacking fiercely at a nearby ''root''! Clang! The blade cut into the flesh, but failed to sever the internal spine on the first strike. Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. What the hell? How could it be so tough?! After the initial shock, he immediately realized that this was, after all, the aura he had injected, not what his main body had unleashed. It wasn''t unreasonable that the effect was several levels weaker. So, while the surrounding green-aproned chefs were still in a ''crashed'' state, he hacked fiercely at the spine again. Clang! Clang! Clang! He was like a butcher, chopping the pig bones along with the meat, hacking fiercely at this ''root''. Finally, on the third strike, the ''root'' snapped with a ''crack''! "Aww¡ª" The corpse pile trembled, and minced meat mixed with viscous liquid rained down, like a fool hiding under a tree after the rain, kicking the trunk and getting a face full of raindrops. Lin Yi threw the severed ''root'' on the ground and began hacking at another nearby ''root''. The corpse pile howled, and the ''crashed'' green-aproned chefs finally began to move, rushing towards Lin Yi''s ''mount, Green Chef''! From the shadows, they moved with terrifying speed, as if countless bolts of silk were wrapping around the Green Chef mount. Lin Yi was hacking with enthusiasm, and seeing that the spine was finally about to break, he couldn''t bear to give up. So, he gritted his teeth and delivered the final blow. Then, he tucked the two ''roots'' under his armpits and began to repeatedly murmur¡ª "I am Lin Yi, I am lost, I should go outside the cafeteria, I want to escape from here¡­" "I am Lin Yi, I am lost, I should go outside the cafeteria, I want to escape from here¡­" "I am Lin Yi, I am¡­" The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com! As he spoke, he suppressed his will, allowing the Green Chef mount to take over the body. With the continuous murmuring, some mechanism within the Green Chef mount was triggered, and it also began to mutter to itself: "I am Lin Yi, I am lost, I should go outside the cafeteria, I want to escape from here¡­" "I am Lin Yi¡­" "I am Lin Yi¡­" As it muttered, its face began to change to resemble Lin Yi¡­ By the time it was submerged by the surrounding green-aproned chefs, its face had already become seventy percent like Lin Yi. "I am Lin Yi¡­ I want to¡­ escape from here!!" It burst out with an unknown strength, breaking free from the green-aproned chefs, and then, in the same way, with two ''roots'' under its armpits, it merged into the shadows, piecing together its instinctive reactions, and running constantly on the road to escape! "Woohoo~ 0 to 100 km/h in 0.3 seconds~" Lin Yi''s will felt the speed unleashed by the Green Chef mount and couldn''t help but cheer in his heart. The mechanism of the green-aproned chefs had finally been put to use! As it moved further away from the grotto, the corpse pile let out a low, impotent roar, but the Green Chef mount''s murmuring was finally captured by it. It trembled frantically, as if it had discovered some shocking secret, or perhaps some long-dreamed-of food, conveying a kind of deranged excitement. Countless mouthparts and pieces of flesh on its body writhed. The next moment, that voice that made Lin Yi''s soul tremble, like a soul-reaping ghost, caught up with Lin Yi''s hearing¡­ [Lin Yi¡­ ] [You''ve come¡­ ] [¡­Lin Yi¡­ ] Lin Yi''s soul trembled violently, his scalp instantly tingling as if struck by countless electric currents. "This¡­ this is¡­ ''Burial Body''?!" In a panic, Lin Yi''s vision suddenly exploded. He saw the writhing corpse pile. Although it was vastly different from the ''Burial Body'' in the convenience store, that familiar scent instantly linked it to the ''Burial Body''! "Could it be¡­?!" "The thing contained in the convenience store is only the core part of the ''Burial Body''. Its main body is too large, so it''s actually contained by the entire cafeteria?!" "And the ''base'' of the green-aproned chefs is located on a certain section of the ''Burial Body'' iceberg hidden beneath the water''s surface?!" Moreover, judging from the ''crashed'' state of the green-aproned chefs, there seems to be some kind of connection between them and the ''Burial Body''! With the continuous calls, the ''Burial Body'' seemed to form some kind of connection with the crystal skeletons on the stone walls. Those eerie will-o''-the-wisps seemed to suddenly gain self-awareness. They broke free from the physical laws of linear propagation, twisting into some kind of bizarre flame sigil in the grotto. Each stroke was pieced together by writhing minced meat and corpse lice. They became the ''Burial Body''s'' amplifier, dancing and chasing the Green Chef mount, the distorted calls sounding like thousands of bone files scraping against fractured bones. The entire grotto trembled faintly, and the ketchup flowing out of the honeycomb-shaped stone pillars began to intertwine little by little on the Green Chef mount''s path, like asphalt. The green-aproned chefs shrieked and roared, entangled with the sigils formed by the will-o''-the-wisps, chasing the Green Chef mount like burning evil spirits. But the Green Chef mount was no pushover either. Everyone accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h. I''ll take the first step, why do you think you can catch up with me? The Green Chef mount sprinted wildly. It must be said that the instinctive driving force was fierce. In an instant, it had already rushed out of the grotto. In a flash, before Lin Yi could even react, it entered another passage¡­ With one entry and one exit, Lin Yi didn''t even realize that the layers were crossed. He could only temporarily attribute this to the Green Chef mount''s ''racial talent''. "I am Lin Yi, I want to escape from here!" "I am Lin Yi, I want to escape from here!" The Green Chef mount sprinted in other passages while repeatedly murmuring this sentence, as if chanting some kind of buff-giving spell, as if as long as it escaped from here, it could really soar into the sky. Finally, it rushed out of the other passage with irresistible speed! "I am Lin Yi, I am out! I am out!" It shouted excitedly, as if it had experienced a hearty chase. "Yes, you are out." Just then, a cheap-sounding voice rang in its ear. Lin Yi looked at it with a smile, a sly grin on his face. "How should I put it?" "Oh right! Congratulations, congratulations¡­" #273 - Angry Angel Lin Yi''s heart trembled, but he no longer had the mind to criticize Liangzi for making reckless flags, because his heart was already tired of trembling... ¡­ This road is truly one wave after another. Last time he took that non-existent fork in the road, then ate a move of "Get lost, gramps", scrambling back in a disheveled state, but this time he almost didn''t make it back... ¡­ He couldn''t help but wonder, if he couldn''t make it back in this state, and his bodily functions were still there, would he become a vegetable? Speaking of which, could it be that those patients in reality who become mentally deranged and eventually turn into vegetables are all highly perceptive people who triggered a special hallucination and whose consciousness couldn''t return to their bodies? He lightly shook his head, unwilling to waste any more brain cells here. There''s still an enraged angel ahead, and he doesn''t know how to deal with it yet... ¡­ "Speaking of which... ¡­ the notice board in front of the gymnasium doesn''t seem to have anything about the enraged angel!" He thought about it and understood... ¡­ It''s the same as how the rules for the test subjects wouldn''t mention the angel statue. Test subjects will never encounter the angel statue, and those who do won''t survive, so there''s no need to write about it... ¡­ Ah, wait a minute!!! "Could it really be like this... ¡­? !" Lin Yi carefully reviewed the test subject rules in his mind... ¡­ The rules related to the angel statue appear in the "Gymnasium Rules", and their content is: ¡¾If you see an angel statue placed on the ground by who-knows-who in the gymnasium, please rush to the office immediately, hold your student ID tightly, push the door open, and then close your eyes and tell the PE teacher the situation.¡¿ ¡¾Never ask the PE students for help when you find the angel statue.¡¿ "In other words, although this interpretation may be somewhat distorted and excessive, could it be that the only solution for test subjects encountering the angel statue is [in the gymnasium, then immediately ask the PE teacher for help]?" "Moreover... ¡­ the other rules all have obvious hints of ''being tracked'' in this regard, but when it comes to the angel statue, the general idea is only ''once you find it, immediately do something''... ¡­" "It''s like saying that the enraged angel won''t give you a chance to ''be tracked''... ¡­" "Damn, is it going to attack right away? !" Please, can''t it have some sense of ritual like the grinning angel? I have to say, when Lin Yi thought of this, he felt a bit of black humor... ¡­ Soon, they arrived at a position relatively close to the bushes under this sloppy sun shower. Lin Yi''s heart jumped up again. He subconsciously hoped that the enraged angel was just standing there and not targeting him. Just then, he suddenly heard Wei Liang, who was in front, exclaim: "Aiya! What is this... ¡­" Before he finished speaking, Wei Liang seemed to have stepped on something slippery. After staggering a few times, he immediately lost his balance and, driven by his center of gravity, ran down the cobblestone path towards the gymnasium below the mountain... ¡­ "Old Lin, be careful ¡ª ¡ª Ah ~ ~ ~ ~" "What the heck is going on?" When Lin Yi reacted, Wei Liang had already glided along the ground for more than ten meters, giving him a sense of visual d¨¦j¨¤ vu with a ghostly speed force, leaving him dumbfounded. He quickly glanced at the original position where he was standing, and this look actually revealed that there was a puddle of... ¡­ oil there. Wait... ¡­ how could there be oil out of nowhere here? ! Lin Yi was stunned for about three seconds, his brain hadn''t turned yet, but the early warning mechanism in his subconscious had already reacted ¡ª ¡ª Liangzi must have triggered some kind of trick in his passive ability! As a guy who has maxed out his skill in tricks, Wei Liang''s early warning and reaction to danger seem to be engraved in his biological instinct! And at this time, the only existence that can threaten them can only be... ¡­ The enraged angel! This logic seems to take a few turns, but in fact Lin Yi only spent a moment of stunned effort to sort it out, and just as he reacted, some images flashed violently in front of his eyes. These images were none other than the scene of the bushes in the green belt he had just passed! In that flashing picture, he saw the enraged angel hiding behind the bushes. The originally empty eyeballs suddenly twitched as if convulsing, and then the stiff neck turned mechanically, and some fine cracks appeared on the white plaster-like skin due to the twisting, and some white powder rustled off... ¡­ And the position that the enraged angel was looking at was his back! Lin Yi''s scalp was tingling as if struck by lightning, and all the hairs on his body stood up as if he were being stared at by a fierce tiger. He noticed the details he had just ignored! Before the grinning angels attack, only the target being attacked can see their existence! And if this is not the only mechanism of the grinning angels, but the common mechanism of the angel statues, then when he sees the statue of the enraged angel, the underlying logic is not "he saw the enraged angel", but "the enraged angel launched an attack reminder to him and was accepted by him"! "Just like the grinning angel in the stairwell holding an hourglass will appear with its back to Maozi, bowing and covering its face before attacking, the enraged angel will also appear in a similar form before officially launching an attack!" "It''s as if it deliberately gave the attacker a reaction time!" "In that case, Liangzi''s oiling his feet is because he also realized that he was locked on by the enraged angel? !" Damn... ¡­ isn''t this reaction like having X-ray vision and a script on? Is this still a human reaction? ! "I''m going, Liangzi, wait for me!" Lin Yi immediately took off and rushed out. Just a few seconds after he rushed out, a small, gray-white figure shrouded in blood-red steam landed at his position with terrifying potential energy like a cannonball. In the waves intertwined with blood-colored steam and white mist, the small enraged angel slowly stood up, its empty gray-white eyeballs trembled constantly like stuck needles, and then slowly locked on Lin Yi''s back... ¡­ ¡¾... ¡­ lyset ... ¡­¡¿ ¡¾lyset ... ¡­¡¿ Its legs were separated, squatting slightly as if in a horse stance. The sculpture''s legs swelled with stone-like muscle lines, and the blood-colored steam and white mist surrounding it twisted and surrounded it like two spirals. The small stones at its feet trembled and rolled non-stop, giving it a feeling of surging breath. The next moment, it exerted force with its legs, and the whole child rose into the sky, drawing a beautiful parabola, and landed towards Lin Yi''s position! As it moved, even the sun shower seemed to tilt its trajectory, showing a tendency to be drawn in by the cyclone surrounding it. "Huff¡ª" Lin Yi heard the first impact behind him, followed by the sound of rushing wind. Needless to say, he knew the Enraged Angel was coming. Under this pressure, he clenched his teeth, his throat slightly rolling, and his whole body began to glow red, emitting a low roar like a revving engine! Just as the Enraged Angel was about to hit him, a layer of sky-blue steam suddenly burst out from his body. His footsteps faltered for a moment, and then his entire being flickered out of the way like an Asura Flash! "Whoosh whoosh whoosh¡­" A series of afterimages seemed to appear behind him, and the Enraged Angel landed where his afterimages were. "Thud!" The Enraged Angel, carrying a thick impact force, landed there, and the surging power shook the nearby green belt, causing it to rustle. "What terrifying power! Wouldn''t being hit by that mean instant death?" The powerful shock traveled along the ground to Lin Yi''s feet, causing his heart to tremble. He quickly lowered his center of gravity and rushed towards the gymnasium along the cobblestone road. He was already very close to the gymnasium, and Wei Liang was even closer to reaching it. "The only method mentioned to deal with the Angel Sculpture is the ''Gymnasium Rules,'' but the premise is ''seeing the Angel Sculpture inside the gymnasium.'' My situation doesn''t meet this condition, but it doesn''t matter¡­" "Supply and demand can exist from the beginning, or they can be created out of nothing. If the conditions aren''t met, I have to create them!" Lin Yi had already thought of it. He would lead the Enraged Angel into the gymnasium. This seemingly self-destructive act of bringing the wolf into the house and harming the sports students was actually the best solution at the moment! The most ¡Í new ¡Í small ¡Í say ¡Í is ¡Í at ¡Í six ¡Í 9 ¡Í ¡Í book ¡Í ¡Í bar ¡Í ¡Í first ¡Í hair! Why? Because if the Enraged Angel didn''t enter the gymnasium, then both he and the sports students inside would be fine. If the Enraged Angel really followed him into the gymnasium, then he would "see" the Enraged Angel again, actively fulfilling the condition of "seeing the Angel Sculpture inside the gymnasium," and then immediately rush into the sports office to seek the help of the sports teacher! He believed in the "Gymnasium Rules" and believed that doing so would definitely be fine. As for bringing the wolf into the house? That wasn''t important at all, because to be attacked by a wolf, one must first discover the wolf in their "cognition." "It''s settled!" After verifying the logic, Lin Yi no longer had any scruples. He directly locked onto the gymnasium with his eyes, and then unleashed his speed and sprinted. When he ran with all his might, those faint sky-blue vapors floated on his body like a layer of light mist, giving him a gentle sense of affinity for everything around him. It wasn''t quite as smooth as a fish in water, but it was close enough. He felt that his speed had been greatly improved, but he didn''t know how much. He only felt that he was catching up with Wei Liang''s figure at a speed visible to the naked eye. This strange speed was like that of a¡­ green-aproned cook quickly pulling closer to a student fleeing the cafeteria in the shadow area. The Enraged Angel, with blood-colored steam and white mist intertwined, slowly stood up stiffly. Its trembling eyeballs "rolled" and locked onto Lin Yi''s back, and then it took off again, this time with a larger arc, rushing towards Lin Yi like an intercontinental missile. For Lin Yi at this moment, the gymnasium was already within reach, but the missile-like Enraged Angel was still following him like a maggot attached to bone, giving him a huge sense of pressure. But strangely, when the Enraged Angel approached a certain position around him, that terrifying speed visibly slowed down, as if it was delayed by an unknown and invisible force, while Lin Yi''s speed did not decrease at all, and he once again escaped from the Enraged Angel''s hands like a string of afterimages¡­ However, whether this seemingly spacetime-defying thing was a scene Lin Yi saw when he accelerated in an instant, or a scene that actually happened in reality, he did not know. The only thing that could be confirmed was that Lin Yi felt that under his full-speed run, the surrounding environment seemed to have undergone some subtle visual changes, like a Flash wrapped in the Speed Force, with the world he saw having a strange filter. "Could it be that I observed a ''layer''¡­ ?" Lin Yi wasn''t sure if his idea was correct, nor did he intend to verify it, because he was less than 50 meters away from the gymnasium. He needed to solve the immediate predicament first, and then he would have plenty of time to think about the problem. At this time, Wei Liang had already run into the gymnasium, and the next one would be Lin Yi. Just as Lin Yi was about to approach the gymnasium, a call suddenly appeared in his ear. "Student." It seemed like someone was calling him. His footsteps paused slightly, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. But there wasn''t a single person''s shadow there. Lin Yi''s heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought it was bad. He must have heard something he shouldn''t have heard again. And that direction seemed to be¡­ a certain road outside the gymnasium? "Strange, what''s going on with that road?" Beside the main entrance of the gymnasium, there was indeed a road, and even the construction style of that road was almost the same as the architectural style of the gymnasium itself, but he didn''t know where it led. But judging from the construction trend of that road, it seemed to be some kind of¡­ staircase? And the call just now came from the staircase on that road, as if someone was standing on a staircase corner outside the gymnasium, calling him softly. It''s just that the timbre of that voice was very unfamiliar, unlike the voice of anyone in his memory, and it didn''t call his name either. It must have been just a tentative call. After experiencing so much torment, Lin Yi''s "immunity" had also increased somewhat. Apart from the initial shock, he wouldn''t be too affected by this kind of call. [After arriving at the gymnasium, please swipe your student ID to obtain the "Gymnasium Rules" from the automatic borrowing and returning machine at the entrance, and enter the gymnasium through the main entrance. Do not take other doors or stairs.] "Is this the ''staircase'' mentioned on the notice board?" Lin Yi''s heart skipped a beat, as if something resonated with the notice board. He was still wondering what staircase it was, but now he suddenly realized that it was this staircase, but why would there be a staircase outside the gymnasium?! Thank you to book friend "usjdnshhs" for the reward!! #274 - Physical education teacher hands-on Where does it lead to? Why is someone calling him from there? After pausing for a few breaths, Lin Yi immediately refocused his attention. At the same time, he sensed the pressure from behind. Needless to say, the Wrathful Angel had caught up again! "Forget about the stairs for now!" "Let''s just stick to the plan and get rid of the Wrathful Angel!" Lin Yi ignored that path and followed the rules on the gymnasium notice board, rushing into the gymnasium through the main entrance. "Old Lin, you''re finally here! Hurry up and swipe for the rules!" Wei Liang had been waiting for a while. It''s just a pity that the gymnasium rules weren''t placed on a shelf for people to take like the cafeteria rules. Instead, you had to use your student ID to swipe at the self-service machine. "Coming!" The Wrathful Angel was imminent, and Lin Yi secretly cried out that things weren''t good. He quickly rushed to the self-service machine. At the same time, he used the swipe-and-draw technique he had practiced in the cafeteria. Biu, biu, and he swiped out a copy of the gymnasium rules from the self-service machine. "Damn, Old Lin, are you trying to murder me with that stance!" Wei Liang was startled by Lin Yi''s aggressive momentum. He jumped back a few times and entered the gymnasium. Lin Yi grabbed the gymnasium rules that the self-service machine spat out and immediately rushed into the gymnasium. At the same time, the Wrathful Angel also arrived at the gymnasium. It''s just that, for some unknown reason, the commotion it caused suddenly lessened a lot. Then, with steady steps, it followed Lin Yi''s back into the gymnasium step by step. Entering the gymnasium, Lin Yi''s movements immediately attracted the attention of many sports students who were exercising in the gymnasium. These people curiously turned their attention to him. Some people recognized Lin Yi as the strange man who had been stepped on by the boss, while Xu Shun Kang showed a look of surprise: "Lin Yi? Why is he at the gymnasium at this time?" Immediately afterward, his brows furrowed tightly, and a sharp light flowed between his narrowed eyes: "Could it be that something happened at the teaching building...? But if that''s the case, he wouldn''t be the only one coming, right? Oh, no, there''s someone else over there..." Lin Yi couldn''t care less about the gazes of the other sports students. He quickly unfolded the map attached to the back of the gymnasium rules, quickly found the location of the "Physical Education Teacher''s Office," and then rushed over at full speed. "Huh? He''s... going to the office?!" Many sports students showed shocked expressions on their faces, and there was even some indescribable awe or fear in their eyes. "He... he''s actually going to find the teacher on his own?" On the second floor of the gymnasium, in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows of the gymnastics hall, some sports students who were practicing gymnastics also saw Lin Yi, who had broken into the gymnasium outside of physical education class time, through the floor-to-ceiling windows. "Boss... Did something happen downstairs? Huh?! That, that person seems to be Lin Yi!" A girl in blue and white sportswear exclaimed. At this moment, the girl was doing a split leg stretch against a handrail in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Her beautiful hair was tied into a ponytail, adding a bit of vigorous vitality compared to usual. When she saw Lin Yi, her mouth opened into an "O" shape in surprise. If Lin Yi saw this, he would definitely realize that this girl was Li Hui Yuan, who had left with the homeroom teacher - 040 yesterday. Li Hui Yuan noticed what was happening on the first floor of the gymnasium. That familiar figure couldn''t help but make her mind wander. Lin Yi... Why is he here at this time? Just as she was in a daze, a clear and cold voice rang out beside her: "It really is that Lin Yi guy..." The person speaking was none other than the boss. Now, the boss was wearing a pair of black one-piece yoga pants, with a slender blue and white stripe on the yoga pants. This stripe extended from the chest to the waist, and then continued along the outside of the round and straight legs, eventually stopping above the ankle. The boss was barefoot, with her snow-white feet bare. She looked at Lin Yi below with her arms crossed in front of her chest, her narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, and her bright golden eyes slowly fell on a certain void behind Lin Yi. She seemed to have observed something. Her vermilion thin lips slightly parted, as if with a hint of helplessness: "Last time he only picked up some pollution, this time he attracted the Wrathful Angel... Does this guy just attract dirty things?" "Wrathful, Wrathful Angel...?! The instant the door cracked open, a dangerous aura beyond description locked onto Lin Yi. He immediately felt like he''d been struck by lightning, his scalp tingling, his hair practically standing on end! "What...? !" "This... what''s going on?!" Just opening a door, and he felt like he was about to be taken out?! Could it be the wrong way to open it? But there was no time to think about it. Lin Yi knew he had to "push the door open" and then "report the situation to the gym teacher." So, he pushed the door open in one breath and stuck close to the doorframe as he entered the gym office! When his foot stepped inside, he was surprised to find that the feedback from the ground wasn''t like the touch of a floor or tile, not even the ground at all... but some indescribable substance, like stepping on a fleshy mass, as if it were a collection of many fat people lying there, and he was stepping on them. Soft, very elastic, but without any real support, even his own center of gravity was about to be lost. At the same time, he smelled the sour stench that had lingered in the gym office for who knows how many years, like the "fragrance" of someone vigorously stomping on a pile of sauerkraut with feet wearing socks soaked in sweat after intense exercise! Caught off guard, Lin Yi took a breath and felt like he was about to pass out. He felt like he saw his great-grandmother waving to him under the revolving lantern of his life, asking if he had choked to death on ancient sauerkraut noodles... The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba! "Teacher... I... I''m being chased by a Wrathful Angel..." Unable to stop himself from complaining, Lin Yi barely managed to report his situation while battling the revolving lantern of his life, adding, "My name is Lin Yi, and my student ID is X023050609..." At that moment, Lin Yi clearly "sensed" countless gazes appearing in the gym office, and these gazes swept over him like materialized knives and swords, finally landing on the student ID in his palm. Incredibly, even though he was holding the student ID tightly, and normally the gym teachers wouldn''t be able to see his identity information, at that moment, he clearly felt the pressure around him suddenly decrease. At the same time, a calm and powerful voice sounded in his ear: "We know." When this voice sounded, Lin Yi suddenly felt that the ground under his feet seemed to have changed from a twisted, bulging fleshy mass into a flat surface, and that sour, indescribable smell seemed to have been swept away and could no longer be smelled. "A Wrathful Angel... must be the embers of last night. Who among you will go?" Another voice sounded in the gym office. "I''ll go..." The first voice slowly sounded, followed by some "clang clang clang" sounds, like the sound of some heavy iron chains dragging on the ground. "Iron chains...?" The sound was somewhat familiar, and Lin Yi''s mind flashed with the figure of the security guard! The security guard delivering meals had iron chains wrapped around his waist, and the sound of those thick iron chains dragging on the ground was exactly like that! "The gym teacher... could there be some connection with the security guard?" This conjecture couldn''t help but appear in Lin Yi''s mind. Before he could come up with any other conjectures, the "clang clang..." of metal clashing sounded again, and then he felt a figure stand up somewhere inside the gym office, bringing a warm current towards him. He subconsciously wanted to make way for the gym teacher while carefully sensing, this was his first contact with the gym teacher, he couldn''t miss this opportunity to capture a first impression! But the figure with the warm current had already brushed past him on the other side, like a ball of fire. "So fast?!" He quickly listened intently, trying to get a preliminary understanding of the gym teacher. However, his appearance of holding the doorknob, closing his eyes, and tilting his head was really a bit wretched, like a wretched version of the Flying Bat Ke X. But he was disappointed. The hot and exciting battle scene he imagined didn''t seem to happen. Even the aftershocks of any riot didn''t seem to be transmitted... After waiting for a while, the "clang clang clang" of iron chains dragging appeared behind him again. The gym teacher, emitting a warm current, returned, seemingly dragging something struggling on the floor... "Could it be... the gym teacher directly caught the Wrathful Angel?" Lin Yi could be sure that he really felt the Wrathful Angel being dragged by the gym teacher. It seemed to be constantly flapping, like a rooster with flapping wings that had been caught by a skilled chicken killer. However, the Wrathful Angel in Lin Yi''s impression should be a guy shrouded in blood-colored steam and white mist. Even when flapping, it should constantly stir up air waves around it. How could there be no aftershocks at all? Especially now, it was not only struggling, but also constantly making unwilling roars, but even so, when it was dragged past Lin Yi by the gym teacher, Lin Yi felt nothing except a vague sensation. Moreover, he simply couldn''t understand what was going on with the door of this gym office. Before he closed his eyes, he saw that the door was just the size of a normal office door, but the gym teacher passing by him and coming out was one thing, but now catching a Wrathful Angel into the office, it didn''t even touch his body?! It was simply magical to an unbelievable degree. "The layering of this gym office seems to be quite unusual..." Lin Yi couldn''t help but guess that there might be changes in space and layering involved here, and it was even possible that the entire gym office had a strong cognitive contamination. That''s why the experiential students were required to keep their eyes closed. Of course, there might be other problems, but with his current depth of knowledge, these were the only things he could guess in a short period of time. "Eh..." Lin Yi thought again that since his cognitive domain was so wide, could he secretly squint a slit and try to observe the gym office? However, this idea was immediately rejected after it came out. "Forget it..." It was one thing to fall into conjecture uncontrollably before, but now that he had a certain degree of self-control, he shouldn''t do these underworld operations that would make his horoscope difficult. At this time, Lin Yi heard a dull "thud", like the sound of the gym teacher casually throwing the Wrathful Angel aside. Thanks to book friends "usjdnshhs" and "steam0826" for the rewards!! Added 200 words. #275 - An unknown weird feeling ¡¾Whee... Whee...¡¿ The enraged angel seemed to still be struggling on the ground, emitting a low, rumbling sound. Lin Yi noticed it was looking at him, but it was quickly pressed down again by the PE teacher. At this moment, the PE teacher''s voice came from inside the office: "Lin Yi, I''ve temporarily repelled the enraged angel, but since it has locked onto you, it won''t give up easily in the short term. Just stay here and wait for the rest of the PE classes to finish before you leave." Lin Yi''s heart skipped a beat. "Huh?" ¡¸The enraged angel has been repelled? But... what is the PE teacher dragging?¡¹ "Okay, Teacher." Lin Yi didn''t have time to think too much, and he also knew that now wasn''t the time to ask the PE teacher questions, so he quickly lowered his head and replied, then slowly backed out of the PE teacher''s office, closing the door behind him. ¡¸Click¡ª Clang!¡¹ Only after heavily closing the door to the PE office, and then gently pushing the door to make sure it was tightly shut, did Lin Yi dare to let go of the doorknob. He felt a coolness in his palm, and subconsciously glanced at it, only to realize that his palm was already full of sweat. "Phew¡ª" He let out a long sigh of relief, and then he somewhat understood what it meant by "The inside of the gymnasium is the safest place on campus." It turned out that even when being chased by the angel statue that Mu Daxian desperately avoided, the PE teacher could easily handle it. If this wasn''t safe, then what was? He also realized one thing: the gymnasium was safe, largely because "the PE teacher is in the gymnasium." After letting go of the doorknob, he turned around and planned to go back to find Wei Liang, and his gaze naturally followed the movement of his toes, but when he saw the drag marks on the floor, he couldn''t help but be stunned. He saw that the floor beside his feet was damaged, like a bamboo pole crushed by a heavy object, flattened in the middle but with a large number of irregular burrs around it. This was clearly the traces formed when the enraged angel struggled while being dragged by the PE teacher. Lin Yi was shocked. These traces had just appeared, but he hadn''t felt anything unusual at all. By the time he saw them now, the whole thing was already over. It was as if a building had collapsed, and when you came to your senses, you found yourself unharmed, standing in the ruins. And he was even more puzzled, because all the signs indicated that the PE teacher had caught the enraged angel and taken it to the office, but he insisted that the enraged angel had been repelled... ¡¸Could it be that there were two? One was caught and one was repelled? No, that''s not right! There was only one!¡¹ Lin Yi was a little confused. Just then, Wei Liang came running from not far away: "Old Lin, what''s wrong with you? You ran off as soon as you came in!" Lin Yi then said, "Liangzi, to be honest, I just encountered the ''angel statue'' mentioned in the ''Gymnasium Rules''!" "Huh? Why didn''t I see anything?" Wei Liang looked around in surprise, "Where is it? Where is it?" Lin Yi thought, didn''t you run away with the wind at your heels when you saw the enraged angel squatting in the grass? But regardless of whether Wei Liang was pretending to be confused, he reacted naturally: "No, Liangzi, aren''t you afraid of the angel statue?" Wei Liang shook his thumb towards the PE office, as if making the number six with his hand: "We''re already at the door of the office, what''s there to be afraid of? By the way, why didn''t I see that angel statue thing?" Lin Yi said, "It should have been taken care of by the PE teacher, look at this floor..." He suddenly stopped, quickly squatted down, and reached out to touch the floor under his feet. ¡¸What''s going on? This floor... has returned to normal?!¡¹ He widened his eyes, looking at the floor in disbelief. Wei Liang helped him up from the ground speechlessly: "What''s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly giving me such a big salute?" Lin Yi: "..." "Forget it, forget it..." Lin Yi waved his hand helplessly, not bothering to pay attention to Wei Liang''s sudden attempt to take advantage of him, but the look of confusion in his eyes deepened. Wei Liang asked, "Old Lin, PE class hasn''t started yet, why did Teacher Lin ask you to come to the gymnasium? If there''s nothing else, shall we go to the swimming pool to take a shower first? Wash off the dampness from this rain and warm up!" Lin Yi nodded: "That''s right... let''s go take a shower first, oh wait, Teacher Lin told me, ''After arriving at the gymnasium, immediately explain the situation to the sports students, they have a way to eliminate...'' uh, they have a way to help me." He didn''t say eliminate the mark, so as not to remind Wei Liang of something he shouldn''t be reminded of, breaking his state. Some things can be mentioned because he saw that Wei Liang had already come into contact with them, but some things that are uncertain are better not to mention. He actually wanted to go to the swimming pool to take a shower right away, but perhaps the class teacher had other ideas, so he decided to go find a sports student to report the situation first. "Then I''ll go take a shower first," Wei Liang said. Lin Yi nodded. The safety of the gymnasium was still very guaranteed. Last time they came, they separated directly. "Then I''ll go find a sports student to report the situation first," Lin Yi also said. "Yeah... Eh?!" Wei Liang was about to nod when he looked up and saw the figure in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the gymnastics hall on the second floor. He immediately beamed with joy, "Isn''t that Boss and Li Huiyuan! Old Lin, since you''re going to find a sports student anyway, why make it easier for those strangers? Just go find Boss and Li Huiyuan!" "Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked up along Wei Liang''s line of sight. As soon as he looked, he saw Boss wearing only a black yoga suit. The two were very far apart, but Lin Yi only knew that he and Boss had made eye contact, and the next moment, Boss nodded at him expressionlessly, as a greeting. And beside Boss, Li Huiyuan couldn''t hide her joy, and was already waving at him. From a distance, she looked like a cute girl in an anime, standing on tiptoes on a platform bathed in the gentle breeze of spring, greeting a good friend who had just gotten off the train. "It really is Li Huiyuan!" A look of surprise and relief also appeared in Lin Yi''s eyes. Knowing that Li Huiyuan had arrived at the gymnasium and seeing Li Huiyuan in the gymnasium with his own eyes were two completely different feelings of relief. However, he didn''t know why he felt a sense of relief when he saw Li Huiyuan. "Stop spacing out. It''s not a good thing to be caught staring at Li Huiyuan by Boss, or to be caught staring at Boss by Li Huiyuan!" At this time, Wei Liang elbowed him frantically, finally waking him up. Lin Yi said speechlessly: "What are you even talking about?" "A love triangle!" Wei Liang said excitedly, "That''s how it is in manga!" "I''ll give you a love triangle!" A drop of sweat appeared on Lin Yi''s forehead. He thought, I only had one class with Boss, and only one day with Li Huiyuan. Everything is clear, so how did it become a love triangle? "Besides, what kind of manga are you reading! How dare you apply that kind of H plot where they show each other everything after flipping through only three pages of paper to reality?" Wei Liang tugged at his hat brim and said seriously, "Old Lin, I didn''t expect you to have summarized the rules of H manga. It wasn''t a waste for me to pick so many H manga for you, helping you gain knowledge¡ªÅÞÅÞÅÞ, I mean, gain knowledge! As the saying goes, ''Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for one day.'' It''s finally your time to shine!" "Get lost!" Lin Yi said with a dark face. If the boss heard Wei Liang instigating him with these crude words, they would probably both get their asses kicked... "Alright~ Then I''ll go take a scented bath and wait to meet a beautiful female athlete~" Wei Liang smiled lewdly, then shrank his neck, hugged his bag, and scurried towards the swimming pool like a thief stealing a dog, cackling strangely. Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang''s back with a complicated expression, then sighed softly. Since entering the school, he had only seen Wei Liang relax so unrestrainedly in the gymnasium. He glanced at the direction of the gymnastics hall, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go directly to find the boss and Li Huiyuan. After all, he wasn''t familiar with anyone else besides Xu Shunkang, and now that he had found the boss, there was no need to look for anyone else. Looking at the entire gymnasium, which athlete would be a better reporting target than the boss? So he carried his bag and walked towards the stairs leading to the gymnastics hall. But just as he started to move, a premonition rose in his heart for no reason. His eyes flickered a few times, and out of instinct, he quickly looked back at the previous spot. This look revealed that the floor, which had just returned to normal, had once again become dented as if it had been smashed, with frayed edges all around. But this scene switched back and forth between the normal floor and the dented floor as he blinked... The newest and fastest novels are at 69shu.com! Lin Yi felt like his eyes were going to blur. This kind of fast flashing back and forth didn''t have much color difference, it just purely made his vision a little sore. But just then, he heard a sound that made his hair stand on end. "Clang clang..." "Clang clang clang..." It wasn''t the sound of iron chains whipping, but the sound of iron chains swaying in the wind, the sound of one link rubbing against another. This sound rang out above his head, and the first thing he thought of was the group of broken sculptures hanging by chains in that abandoned bookshelf area... "They... are they really lingering spirits?!" Lin Yi''s body stiffened suddenly, and a chilling sensation ran through him. Even in the gymnasium, this could happen?! He shook his head vigorously, and when he focused again, the floor had returned to normal, and the "clang clang" sound of the iron chains rubbing together had also disappeared... "Huff..." Lin Yi exhaled a long breath and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "I should meet up with the boss first..." For some reason, after experiencing the terrifying pressure of the physical education teacher, Lin Yi suddenly felt that the boss''s "cost-effectiveness" was the highest. At least the boss''s only threat to him was his foot, and at most he would just get kicked. If it were the physical education teacher, he might get whipped by an iron chain... When passing by the entrance of the gymnasium, Lin Yi suddenly thought of something and glanced at the direction of the entrance. He had been running too fast before, and he had overlooked a problem, which was that there didn''t seem to be any athletes on duty at the entrance of the gymnasium today. "Could it be because physical education class hasn''t started yet?" Lin Yi guessed for a moment, then immediately shook his head and decided not to think about these things too much. "But if you really want to talk about it..." Lin Yi glanced around the first floor of the gymnasium and realized that there really weren''t many people playing basketball on the basketball court. Compared to the last time he came to the gymnasium, it could be described as pitifully few. He thought of the casualties Xu Shunkang had mentioned, and a look of worry couldn''t help but appear in his eyes. Mu Daxian once said that during the 70th gray fog invasion, the guards in the cafeteria area were almost all dead, and it still wasn''t the most tragic place in the entire campus. As the "front line" area, how could the gymnasium be any better? "The gray fog invasion last night was so terrifying, could it be that the gymnasium also suffered heavy damage?!" "I wonder if the boss and Li Huiyuan were injured..." Unconsciously, he had already arrived at the stairs. Looking at the stairs in front of him, a strange feeling inexplicably rose in his heart. The process of this feeling appearing wasn''t abrupt, but when it completely appeared, it made Lin Yi feel very abrupt. Logically speaking, the gymnasium should give people a sense of security everywhere, but now Lin Yi had a feeling of a lack of security... The stairwell in front of him didn''t seem to have anything wrong with it, and there were even incandescent lights installed on the top, so the lighting was very sufficient. "Perhaps I''m just being paranoid..." Lin Yi laughed self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and stepped onto the stairs. After he walked up some steps, he suddenly realized that there were no windows in the gymnasium''s stairwell at all, and even the walls on the second floor didn''t seem to have any windows. This was a very abnormal design. Usually, when building a gymnasium, some windows would be built on the high walls, but this gymnasium had nothing, it really seemed to be a completely enclosed environment, with the only connections to the outside world being the exit on the first floor and the safety exit leading to the Giant Egg. This was something that Lin Yi hadn''t noticed when he was observing the gymnasium before, but he didn''t really understand this kind of design, and he didn''t mean to stop and observe it a few more times. But just as he turned the corner of the stairs and continued to walk up, an inexplicable gust of wind blew out from somewhere, stirring the hair at his ears... So he inexplicably heard some sounds of flames fanning, and he found that the surrounding light seemed to have changed slightly, and his shadow also had some strange changes of flickering and uncertain. It was as if... there was an unstable light source behind him, illuminating his shadow in a distorted and uncertain way. When he passed the corner of the stairs and continued to walk up, his line of sight naturally fell, trying to search for the place where the uncertain light source "theoretically" existed. And just as he looked at the place where the light source "theoretically" existed, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and his dark pupils also shrank suddenly! I saw that on the originally smooth wall, a candlestick had appeared at some unknown time! That was a bronze candlestick, and the delicate and ancient round tray was already full of solidified wax, and a candle was swaying uncertainly on it, as if it would go out at any time. Lin Yi recognized the style of this candlestick, this was something that shouldn''t belong to the campus layer¡ª This was the kind of candlestick in the castle of the art building!!! Thanks to book friends "usjdnshhs" and "ÁÕ skylark" for their rewards!! Adding 100 words. PS: Asking for a monthly ticket at the end of the month, I feel like there''s a chance for 2000... #276 - Vision! Art building stairwell! "The unique candlestick from the art building... how did it appear here?!" "Wait, there was clearly nothing on the wall just now. When did this candlestick pop up?" The candlelight flickered eerily, moving without wind, swaying like a clown''s smile. Within the flames, it seemed as if something sinister was smiling at him. Just as Lin Yi solidified his perception, the candlestick immediately became illusory again. At the same time, the flames on the candlestick swayed for no reason, and his vision flickered rapidly along with it. The rhythm of the flickering was perfectly synchronized with the frequency of the candlelight''s sway! And the scene he saw also underwent some extraordinary changes. He saw the white paint on the stairwell suddenly turn into ancient yellow-brown stone blocks, only to return to normal in the next moment. He saw the candlestick appearing and disappearing intermittently. Each time the candlestick disappeared, the stairwell "returned" to its normal state. But when the candlestick materialized, the stairwell turned into a space constructed from those yellow-brown stone blocks. He seemed to see people crowding each other in the stairwell, moving little by little, yet he couldn''t see them clearly. Suddenly, he felt something pushing him to walk up the stairs, and some urgent urging voices seemed to ring around him: "Hey, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and move!" Another voice followed, "Xiao Mao, what''s wrong with you?" "Wait! Xiao Mao...?" Lin Yi''s heart trembled, and all the muscles in his body suddenly tensed. He abruptly looked at the candlestick at the corner of the stairwell, only to see that the candlestick had become an incredibly real existence, and even the entire stairwell had turned into a passage made of yellow-brown stone blocks. Immediately afterward, he felt like he was falling from the clouds in a dream. Although he was standing on the steps, he didn''t know why he still felt a heavy, grounded sensation. At the same time, a series of busy figures began to appear in his vision. These people were all wearing green school uniforms similar to wizard robes, clearly all art students. At this moment, these art students were walking upward in the stairwell, which seemed very large in space, but was actually already overcrowded. "Move!" A voice came, and Lin Yi felt a heavy push, followed by some malicious voices: "If you want to die, don''t drag others down with you!" "Hey! What are you saying?!" Another person next to [Lin Yi] seemed to be speaking up for him, grabbing the chest of the person with the unfriendly tone and lifting him up, "We''re all classmates, is it necessary to say such things?" "I... I..." The arrogance of the person who was clamoring instantly subsided. Lin Yi then looked at the person next to him. At this time, Mu Daxian was nowhere to be seen. The crowded stairwell was full of people, and the entire flow of people seemed to be surging towards a certain exit above the stairwell. "Are you okay, Xiao Mao?" the person next to him asked. "I... I''m fine." Lin Yi subconsciously wanted to speak, and Mao Feiyang''s voice appeared in his mouth. "Did I take over someone else''s body?" After answering, Lin Yi''s heart was both shocked and apprehensive, with a sense of bewilderment, and a feeling of "I''m Maozi, I''m in the art building, but what am I supposed to do now." However, despite the confusion, he knew that he should go with the flow at this time, so he started following the crowd upward. The art student next to him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don''t worry, Xiao Mao. Since Brother Xian has ordered it, I, Yan Jinming, will definitely take you there." Lin Yi knew the principle of not talking nonsense if he didn''t know how to speak, so he closed his mouth and nodded, silently following the crowd. But at this moment, he found that "he" cautiously said: "Okay... Brother Yan." "Huh?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that he had not taken over someone else''s body, but had gained Maozi''s perspective for some unknown reason. The sentence "I''m fine" just now was because his subconscious reaction was synchronized with Maozi''s reaction. The feeling of this perspective appearing was different from the previous world interaction. Instead, it was very similar to when he was dreaming. He tried to recall it... After midnight, Maozi and Mu Daxian returned to the art building, and then the art teacher covered for them, and then there was no then... And just as he began to recall, he gradually found that his "sense of immersion" in the surrounding environment began to fade. He began to feel a light, floating sensation, and the candlestick and the crowd in front of him seemed to become more illusory. He quickly interrupted the memory, which stabilized the sense of immersion again. "It seems that I can exit this state at any time!" He suddenly became a little excited, but because he didn''t know if he could come back after exiting this perspective, he decided to observe it since he was already here... Mao Feiyang began to move with the crowd, and Lin Yi took the opportunity to carefully observe the surrounding environment. This staircase was like a winding serpent, spiraling upward from the depths of the earth, all the way to the dark dome that was too high to climb. The wide and majestic steps were now full of art students, surrounded by heavy and cold yellow-brown stone blocks, which had stood firm as ever, not knowing how many years of baptism they had endured. On the walls, ancient candlesticks carved with delicate patterns hung quietly, the candlelight swaying, the candle tears mottled, like ice crystals hanging down some sharp points, looking a bit eerie. The swaying pearly light projected the shadows of the art students scurrying about onto the walls, distorted like loaches scurrying around in boiling water. The feeling of this intertwined light and shadow combined with the boiling voices made people feel as if they had traveled back to a chaotic era in ancient times. What can be confirmed is that this is a passage inside the art building castle, not an area near the lookout tower. As for whether it is a passage in the tower, Lin Yi couldn''t make a judgment. At this time, Maozi was still following the crowd up the steps. Unfortunately, Lin Yi looked around the surroundings several times, but he didn''t find any device that could display the time. The pendulum clocks that were common in the school district could not be seen here at all. As the sense of immersion deepened, Lin Yi began to acquire Mao Feiyang''s perception of the surrounding environment. He began to feel the fierce wind swirling and surging in the dark space above his head, accompanied by some shrill screams, like a hurricane tearing a nylon ribbon. Along with the strengthening of hearing, he began to capture some fragmented sounds from the walls, like the sound of sharp fingernails scraping hard and continuously on the back of the wall, and not just one, but countless... However, regardless of the length, width, or height of the building materials of this wall, or the feeling this castle gave people, a conservative estimate would put its thickness at least half a meter. What kind of fingernails could penetrate that kind of bone-aching, scalp-numbing sound through the wall? Gradually, Lin Yi''s sense of touch and feedback on the vibrations of the surrounding environment also began to become sensitive... Theoretically speaking, this kind of ancient European-style castle has extraordinary load-bearing capacity for trampling, and will not produce the "rumbling" low-pitched vibration like stairs made of other materials, but now he felt it. It wasn''t just from the surrounding crowd of art students, but also from other unknown areas. "Hulululu¡ªHulululu¡ª" The wind howled overhead, and the vibrations in the surrounding walls would occasionally become more rapid and then gradually calm down, as if being hit by waves of the sea. Each violent tremor caused some art students to cry out in fear, while older students responsible for maintaining order would reprimand them in low but intensely oppressive voices: "Silence!" "Silence!!" "Don''t be afraid!" "Damn it, do you want to attract them?!" "Keep moving!" "Slow down if you need to, but don''t spread fear!!" "We''re almost there!" "Move!" The newest novels are first published at 69shuba! Several senior art students began to break away from the crowd, standing to the side to direct. "Keep up!" "Steady now!" "If you feel tired, step aside and rest for a bit!" "Don''t trample, don''t be afraid!" ¡­ ¡­ "Xiaomao, how are you doing? If you need to rest, we can take a break," Yan Jinming glanced at Mao Feiyang, thinking for a moment before adding, "But¡­ we''d better wait until we get there to rest." Mao Feiyang shook his head: "Brother Yan, I''m not tired." "That''s good, let''s hurry!" Seeing this, Yan Jinming stopped pretending and whispered, "Saying to walk slowly is just to appease people. If we can walk faster, we shouldn''t delay. This place¡­ is ultimately not safe." Hearing this, Mao Feiyang''s expression tightened, and he quickened his pace in silence. As they continued to climb, the scraping sound that permeated the walls grew louder and more chilling. Terrible thunder rumbled outside the walls from time to time, and swirling moisture began to pour down from the dark void above, carried by the wind. This moisture felt somewhat damp and sticky, unlike ordinary water vapor, more like¡­ The unique dampness of a beach! Thinking back to the feeling of waves crashing over them from time to time, Lin Yi felt that the "feeling" just now might not have been just a feeling at all, but that they were actually in a wall passage being hit by waves! They were constantly walking upwards along the stairs in such a passage. Outside the walls was a terrifying storm, a huge storm sweeping up waves that constantly crashed against the walls. On the outside of the walls, there might even be countless Pureblood Nightwalkers clinging. Those Pureblood Nightwalkers were born from the black waves crashing on the reefs, flowing through the muddy swamps that had buried countless rotten fish and shrimp, and then rushing onto the steep cliffs¡­ Night Watchers might be able to guard a cliff, but they were not gods. Faced with the tide-like surge of Pureblood Nightwalkers, guarding an area might already be the limit, while other areas of the Art Building castle might have already fallen into the pollution of the Pureblood Nightwalkers! However, Lin Yi still couldn''t imagine where Mao Feiyang was, which area of the Art Building would encounter such terrifying waves? His heart couldn''t help but waver for a moment, and an absurd and bizarre thought suddenly crept into his mind¡ª"Could it be that some kind of strange change has also occurred in this space in the Art Building?" Just like when the bed flipped 180 degrees when staying overnight in the dormitory, they now seemed to be walking upwards along the stairs, but in reality, the entire passage had already been flipped? The direction of gravity was distorted, and they were now actually walking on a twisted staircase that defied the laws of physics, seemingly spiraling upwards, but actually walking downwards. Otherwise, what kind of waves could sweep over this castle built on a cliff? Unless¡­ the waves had already submerged part of the castle? But then again¡­ the dark hole above this stairwell passage really looked like an endless abyss. It was just a pity that in this staircase where even time could not be judged, the loss of space seemed to have become the norm. This made Lin Yi feel anxious about Mao Feiyang''s current situation. The Art Building¡­ seemed to be really in imminent danger! Suddenly, a terrifying thunderclap seemed to tear through the dark sky. "Boom¡ªCrack¡ª" A loud noise guided the lightning to strike Lin Yi and Mao Feiyang''s hearts. At this moment, the two''s visions were synchronized on a certain "frequency", and the brilliant golden light like molten gold flowed deep within Lin Yi and Mao Feiyang''s eyes. In this instant, the entire world once again turned into a primitive and pure black-and-white exposed negative¡­ His vision seemed to see through every line of the giant stone walls, and outside these intricate lines were countless twisted outlines. These were the outlines of Pureblood Nightwalkers¡ªLin Yi had seen those rubbery Pureblood Nightwalkers in the stairwell of the teaching building that exceeded the load of the A-San bread truck. At this moment, their lines were more like "people" than in the stairwell, but they still had not escaped the ranks of "crawlers." Their limbs were sharp, their bodies were soft, like humanoid octopuses or spiders with some limbs turned into blades, densely crawling or sliding on the outer walls of the city. The strange shapes were full of chilling details, and just seeing the outlines made Lin Yi feel an unbearable sense of nausea and revulsion. And outside the outlines of the Pureblood Nightwalkers, Lin Yi also saw something even more terrifying¡­ Grinning Angels! A large number of Grinning Angels floated like phantoms in the dim, indistinguishable day and night, eerie sky. Some held hourglasses, some had empty hands, like swarms of dragonflies flying low before a rainstorm in a sultry summer, circling outside the walls¡­ Lin Yi also tried to observe the architectural lines of the Art Building through this black-and-white exposed picture-like vision in order to judge Mao Zi''s approximate location, but before he could find those lines, a Grinning Angel appeared very abruptly in front of him, only a wall away from him! A large number of Grinning Angels seemed to sense something, and they all turned their directions, looking towards the location where Lin Yi (Mao Feiyang) was. The smiles on the corners of their mouths began to widen, their eyebrows curved but their pupils were absent, like a group of fish staring with dead fish eyes in a pond, discovering the food thrown into the water by tourists, vying to rush over! [lyset¡­ ¡­] [¡­ ¡­lyset¡­ ¡­] Through the wall, Lin Yi could clearly hear the hoarse calls mixed with the sound of the wind entering his ears. "Boom!" The stairwell shook violently, as if it had been hit by a wave, and a Grinning Angel was knocked off the outer wall! Inside the stairwell, the flame on the candlestick flickered violently. After dimming for a moment, it struggled to bloom again, much like an old man dragging his tired body to constantly maintain the barrier. Each time he guarded, he brought his dying old body closer to the grave. Between the flickering candlelight, an invisible ripple seemed to affect Lin Yi''s vision like the sound of flapping wings, like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly shattering Lin Yi''s black-and-white exposed picture-like vision, pulling him back into the stairwell! Yan Jinming''s expression suddenly became serious. He couldn''t care about the others, and focused on Mao Feiyang, protecting him by his side, and said in a low voice: "The situation is not good, let''s go!" Thank you to Alliance Leader "Round Moon and Clear Radiance", book friends "usjdnshhs", "Lin skylark", "Book Friend 20200602141933492" for the rewards!! Added 500 words! #470 - First conspiracy Although he knew that Kuai Kuai had gone to the Barren Lands to stir up trouble yesterday, he still felt a strange sense of reversed cause and effect when Kuai Kuai said it now. How did it feel like my actions had been predicted long ago? Did Kuai Kuai even prepare a day in advance for this? No way? He suddenly felt a chill in his bones, and the cold air on his back was even more pronounced. However, this coldness was not only because his actions were predicted, but also because each step of their actions felt like they were meticulously planned... However, he was in the middle of the game, and every decision was influenced by his own will, so how could he be controlled? His lips trembled a few times, and he hissed in the cold air. He vaguely felt that the invisible hand in the dark seemed to be wielding the power of irresistible "fate", manipulating everyone''s destiny. Kuai Hongji didn''t think so much, he just said coldly: "I''ll bring it to you later. Don''t go into the classroom after you get there, wait for me to come." "No need..." Lin Yi stopped Kuai Hongji, "The Green Forest Zone is close to Building A, it''s better for me to find you." Kuai Hongji looked at Lin Yi like he was an idiot, and said speechlessly: "You don''t need to go through Building A if you''re not going to the Barren Lands, are you stupid? If it''s just the Green Forest Zone, you can enter from Group B''s side." "Oh, right, right..." Lin Yi suddenly realized, "My bad, I''m bewitched." "So I''ll come find you." Kuai Hongji said, "I''ll be at theÀÈÇÅnear Class 1 of Group B. After you get the ''Extraordinary Material'', go do something else." "I''ll go there too." Tian Bufan said, "I''m responsible for getting the puppet''s school uniform. Before the explosion, the puppet shouldn''t act abnormally." Lin Yi was stunned again. For some reason, when Kuai Hongji said he was responsible for getting the extraordinary material, and Tian Bufan said he was responsible for getting the school uniform, he had a strange sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu, like some famous international counterfeit money gang was conspiring, talking about acid-free paper and color-changing ink and other incomprehensible things... Damn, what a strong sense of fate... The corners of Lin Yi''s mouth twitched again and again, and the hissing cold air was more like air conditioning refrigeration. "After you assemble it, Kuai Kuai and I will walk towards Building A, you go to Group C, and then I will act according to the situation." "Okay." Lin Yi nodded. "Then let''s start acting." Tian Bufan said. "Wait a minute!" An untimely voice suddenly sounded. Lin Yi was stunned, this didn''t seem to be their voice. "Wait a minute!" The voice sounded again, this time, Lin Yi discovered the source of the voice - a passage beside the cafeteria. "Wait a minute, don''t go!" The voice got closer. Wei Shan suddenly groaned, his eyes swept over like a giant bear, with a strong look of vigilance in his eyes, his body faintly tense... Lin Yi looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a blue-aproned chef rushing towards him on a rugged path. The way he looked, was a bit like the Earth God pulling his skirt and shouting loudly at the Great Sage from afar. "Blue-aproned chef?" A strange look flashed in Lin Yi''s eyes. He looked around a few times and saw that there were many trainee students like passers-by nearby, so he wasn''t sure who the blue-aproned chef was calling to. Of course, this uncertainty was immediately dispelled, and he also realized that the other party''s target was indeed him. What surprised him even more was that this blue-aproned chef was actually the black-aproned chef he had seen at the employeeͨµÀside at the beginning, but for some reason, when he appeared, the color of the apron had changed to blue. Could it be like Old Mo, who usually looks blue, but is black at critical moments? Lin Yi pondered for a while. With Old Mo''s example in front, he didn''t feel anything wrong at the moment. Soon the blue-aproned chef came to him: "Hello, um... about Old Mo, there are some things I want to ask you, I don''t know if it''s convenient for you to come over?" As soon as he heard Old Mo''s name, Lin Yi immediately put down some of his vigilance: "What''s the matter?" The blue-aproned chef looked at Tian Bufan and others, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Ah, this... here, it''s a bit inconvenient..." Lin Yi frowned slightly. He had just finished planning things with Young Master Tian, and now this was happening... it really made him a little embarrassed. Although Old Mo had never told him anything related to the cafeteria, Old Mo had gone through thick and thin with him for a while, and now facing people and things related to Old Mo, he couldn''t just ignore them. At this moment, Tian Bufan said: "You go, it will take time for Kuai Kuai to prepare things anyway, come directly to us after you''re done." Seeing this, Lin Yi no longer hesitated and decisively agreed to the blue-aproned chef''s request: "Okay, let''s go." "Please follow me." The blue-aproned chef said, and then led the way. Lin Yi followed in real time. Looking at the direction of Lin Yi''s back, Wei Shan''s eyes shifted to the blue-aproned chef. He gritted his teeth, his throat faintly making heavy breaths, and said in a low voice: "That person has a problem." "I know." Tian Bufan said. Wei Shan said in a low voice: "I know you know he has a problem, but Old Lin doesn''t." "Old Lin just hasn''t reacted yet." Tian Bufan said calmly, "Let''s go, go back to the teaching building, rest well, you''ll be busy tonight." Wei Shan still stared at Lin Yi''s side with some unease, until Tian Bufan patted him on the shoulder, his tense body slowly relaxed. "Let''s go." Tian Bufan said lightly, and then walked away on his own. Kuai Hongji smiled sinisterly: "Fatty, don''t waste your energy on meaningless things." Disturbed by Kuai Hongji, Wei Shan immediately became annoyed, and his violent temper suddenly rose: "Then I''ll save my energy to tear you apart!" "I''m so scared!" Kuai Hongji said with a sinister smile, and then followed Tian Bufan like a skinny horse. Wei Liang was holding a notice board, looking left at Lin Yi, looking right at Tian Bufan and Kuai Hongji, and then looking at Wei Shan. He pondered for a second, and then decisively ran after Tian Bufan and Kuai Hongji: "Hey, slow down, I haven''t gotten on the bus yet!" ... May 10, X023, 11:56, cafeteria area, on the cobblestone road leading to other passages. "...That''s it, Old Mo has always been taciturn, yesterday he suddenly explained a lot of things and then left..." The blue-aproned chef led the way whileÐõÐõ߶߶telling Lin Yi everything related to Old Mo. As he was talking, the area around his neck suddenly twitched coldly, like a part had gotten stuck, and then he continued to speak. When he got to the crucial point, he couldn''t help but sigh, wearing a pained expression as if to say, "I can''t understand why he had to do that." ¡¾Lin Yi¡­¡¿ Just as the chef in the blue apron was speaking, Lin Yi suddenly heard a call in his ear, the source of which he couldn''t quite place. ¡¾Lin Yi¡­¡¿ The voice rang out again, as if it was floating from nearby¡­ He suddenly realized something and abruptly looked towards¡­ the first basement level of the cafeteria, following the source of the sound. The call actually came from there. But this kind of call was the same as the call he heard in the student tunnel. How could the call from the first basement level of the cafeteria spread there? Unless it was¡­ ¡¸Layer penetration?¡¹ When he thought of this, the content mentioned in the cafeteria rules flashed through his mind like lightning: ¡¾At any time, do not pay attention to the strange noises from the first basement level of the cafeteria, even if what you hear is a call to your name.¡¿ The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba! So, after all this time, this is what the ¡¸call from the first basement level of the cafeteria¡¹ is? ¡¸Then didn''t I ¡®pay attention¡¯ to it not long ago?!¡¹ ¡¸Damn¡­¡¹ Lin Yi thought to himself, could it be that I have forcibly ¡®adapted¡¯ to the problems that arise after violating the rules?! ¡¸Or perhaps, with my own level of contamination, I may have already covered this rule¡­¡¹ ¡°Lao Mo has always been like this¡­¡± The chef in the blue apron was still rambling on about something, but Lin Yi noticed that every time he turned back to look at himself, his eyes would sweep over his backpack, and then, a kind of light seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes. It was very strong, but also very restrained. Suddenly, the chef in the blue apron''s neck twitched again without warning, but he himself didn''t seem to notice anything and continued to speak. ¡°¡­So, Lao Mo really¡­ encountered some misfortune?¡± The chef in the blue apron finally asked this question. When he asked this question, the chef in the blue apron''s voice trembled non-stop, but Lin Yi''s perception was soÃôÈñ. His ¡¸Vision Domain Insight¡¹ didn''t even need to look at the target head-on to observe the other party''s expressions and details. He discovered that when the chef in the blue apron was trembling and speaking with his body turned to the side, there was an extremely strong color of ¡°excited anticipation¡± hidden beneath the ¡°fear and worry¡±¡­ Lao Mo''s departure seemed to have caused a strong sense of joy and excitement to arise in the heart of this chef in the blue apron. Something''s not right, something''s very wrong¡­ Lin Yi silently scratched his forehead, and while scratching his head, his eyes slowly turned into a brilliant gold color. He blessed his own ¡¸Perception¡¹ onto ¡¸Vision Domain Insight¡¹. ¡¸Buzz¡­¡¹ His vision twisted slightly, and he immediately saw the overlapping shadow behind the chef in the blue apron¡ªa chef in a green apron with a gloomy face! That chef in the green apron was draped over the chef in the blue apron like a transparent gauze. His appearance was sinister and evil, and his eyes were staring intently at Lao Mo''s backpack behind Lin Yi. His entire body was green and glowing as if it could emit light. That chef in the green apron was controlling the chef in the blue apron like a puppeteer. His body was connected to the chef in the blue apron by countless lotus root-like substances, which enabled him to influence the chef in the blue apron''s actions with every move, but such actions looked a bit awkward. Finally, under its lead, Lin Yi arrived at the entrance to another passage. Just as the chef in the blue apron wanted to lead Lin Yi inside, Lin Yi stopped. The chef in the blue apron was stunned for a moment. The muscles on his face twitched in an extremely stiff manner. ¡°Why, why did you stop¡­? Come in with me, quickly, quickly¡­¡± He didn''t understand why Lin Yi had stopped, so he had to wave at Lin Yi, like a gloomy human doll in a horror movie. Lin Yi didn''t speak, but silently bent down and picked up an arm from the ground and handed it to the chef in the blue apron. ¡°Look how excited you are, you even dropped your arm¡­¡± The chef in the blue apron was stunned on the spot. His eyes stared straight at the arm in Lin Yi''s hand, and the expression on his face also froze. ¡°You¡­¡± As soon as he opened his mouth, his neck twitched uncontrollably again. Lin Yi didn''t seem to notice anything wrong and handed the arm to the chef in the blue apron, but he himself didn''t cross the boundary and enter the other passage. The chef in the blue apron was stunned for a while, and then silently stretched out his intact hand and grasped his own arm. But just as he grasped his arm, Lin Yi suddenly exerted force and yanked him out of the other passage! The chef in the green apron realized that something was wrong and decisively controlled the chef in the blue apron to let go, but its ¡°manipulation¡± was ultimately delayed, and such a delay was enough for Lin Yi to achieve his goal. When the chef in the blue apron was pulled out of the other passage, Lin Yi grabbed his collar, turned around, and threw him out with a back throw. ¡¸Thump!¡¹ The chef in the blue apron drew an arc in the air and then crashed heavily onto the uneven cobblestone road. Such a collision seemed to disrupt the chef in the green apron''s control over this body. Through ¡¸Vision Domain Insight¡¹ and perception, Lin Yi saw the chef in the blue apron struggling to get up from the ground with great difficulty in the layer he was in, but the chef in the blue apron as the body was still struggling on the ground. That appearance was a bit like a puppet with tangled strings. ¡°What are you doing?¡± The chef in the blue apron roared at Lin Yi while struggling, but his limbs were uncoordinated, and he couldn''t even support himself, let alone stand up. Lin Yi didn''t approach the chef in the blue apron, but walked to a place not far from him and looked at him, and also looked at the chef in the green apron who was like a double shadow. Then, he played with the arm in his hand, lost in thought. ¡¸In the cafeteria, the chef in the green apron and the chef in the blue apron are clearly distinct. I only saw such a double shadow on that cafeteria aunt at first¡­¡¹ ¡¸What kind of state does this chef in the green apron belong to?¡¹ He actually suspected a bit whether the guy in front of him was that kind of deeply contaminated chef in the blue apron. Just like the interns who have been contaminated, green powdery particles will emerge on their bodies, and the green powdery particles will be even more concentrated in interns whose spirits are extremely abnormal after deep contamination. Then, could it be that green powdery particles are actually an incomplete state of observation? #471 - Enter other channels Could those green powder particles, in essence, be a kind of green afterimage? Every deeply corrupted person has their will vaguely leave their body, but because their initial perception and vision levels were insufficient, they can only see some auras? It''s like looking through a steamy bathroom glass; the person inside only appears as a patch of flesh-colored powder particles... This is one of Lin Yi''s conjectures, and at this moment, he is trying to verify this hypothesis through observation. Before this, he had never encountered a green-aproned chef in normal weather; every time he met one, it was either indoors or already dark. Although the weather isn''t great now, and the light isn''t strong enough, it''s still the first time he''s seen a green-aproned chef exposed to sunlight without immediately petrifying. It''s too magical. He can''t help but want to study it. But as time passed, the blue-aproned chef gradually stopped struggling, collapsing like an exhausted ox, and the green-aproned chef''s afterimage also began to become somewhat blurred in the sunlight, as if it would disintegrate at any moment. "It seems it still can''t withstand sunlight... But because the body appears as a ''normal'' blue-aproned chef, it can briefly appear in sunlight." This kind of mobility is similar to the principle of a carp spirit losing its magic power when it leaves the water, but still being able to move on land for a while. As the green-aproned chef was annihilated, the body faintly began to show some petrification tendencies. But just then, Lin Yi suddenly thought of something: since the body of the pseudo-human sculpture can be used as material for constructing a "puppet", then the body of this blue-aproned chef is also a viable option! Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly had a burst of inspiration, coming up with a plan that felt pretty good... a cunning scheme. He took a deep breath, found a relatively sunny spot near the blue-aproned chef''s body, squatted down, and then released his sensory tentacles, extending them little by little towards the body... His sensory tentacles quickly came into contact with the blue-aproned chef, and then, like X-rays, he incorporated the body into his perception. "Oh, his body, as expected..." Lin Yi was slightly startled, discovering that the blue-aproned chef''s body was indeed no longer a purely flesh and blood body, but was composed of a framework similar to a human skeleton, coupled with some viscous substances similar to the Night Walker species, like a clay figure made by a handmade blogger. Under the sunlight, the "clay" properties were weakened, resulting in a dissolving trend. But there was still a part that retained the characteristics of muscle fibers. "It''s ''transformation''!" This is the transformation, or "screening," mentioned by the convenience store owner, Old Mo, and others. After transcendent substances contaminate the human body, they will spread wildly in the human body like a virus. If you can withstand it, you will "evolve and ascend"; if you can''t, you will "corrupt and fall"... Thinking about it, he had gradually transformed bit by bit, and now, other than having a human appearance, he was no longer related to humans in any other way. "Eh... come to think of it, this blue-aproned chef is actually similar to me, except that he''s far behind me in many ways." He has a golden skeleton and ashen flesh; compared to him, this blue-aproned chef''s body is like a bone wrapped in flour, trying to pass itself off as a fried chicken leg. His sensory tentacles comprehensively analyzed this body, and then his will began to penetrate into the body, gradually taking over the green-aproned chef''s control of the body. The whole process was like a hacker intrusion, overwriting the underlying control code. By the time the green-aproned chef realized something was wrong, the control of the body had completely fallen into Lin Yi''s hands, and it was squeezed out like a soul. Even more strangely, the green-aproned chef itself was unaware, only looking around in horror, only knowing that it could no longer control the body, but not knowing that the reason was because of Lin Yi. Lin Yi silently influenced it, just as he had once been silently influenced... The boomerang when he entered the school hit Lin Yi''s eyebrow, but at this moment, Lin Yi did not connect these two things together. "The timing is about right..." He injected the sky-blue aura in his body into the arm of the blue-aproned chef in his hand, then slowly stood up, walked to the blue-aproned chef''s side, pressed the arm back on, and then slowly retreated. After the arm was pressed on, Lin Yi also retracted the will that had penetrated into the blue-aproned chef''s body, so that the green-aproned chef began to regain control of the body. At the same time, because it was "fully limbed" again, under the control of the green-aproned chef, the blue-aproned chef slowly figured out what to do. After rolling around on the ground for a while, it finally stood up, covered in dirt, and then, as if its soul had left its body, took somewhat stiff steps, walking little by little towards the other passages. Its eyes were dull, its movements were wooden, and every step was somewhat awkward, as if it had lost its mind for a while. It seemed to have completely forgotten about the things related to Lin Yi, and no longer remembered to extract Old Mo''s information from Lin Yi or steal Old Mo''s backpack. It just walked past Lin Yi like a walking corpse, slowly walking to the entrance of the other passages. Lin Yi didn''t say a word, just watched the green-aproned chef control the body and move slowly. He only had one thought in his mind¡ªthe cunning plan had succeeded! His will was still attached to that body along with the entanglement of the sensory tentacles, but he had shrunk this consciousness, lurking like a parasite, and at the same time, he had overwritten the green-aproned chef''s perception of him... making the green-aproned chef remember nothing. But under the drive of instinct, the green-aproned chef still controlled the body to return to the cafeteria, just like lost lovers will always walk on a familiar road in a daze. Thus, the green-aproned chef controlled the body containing Lin Yi''s consciousness, entering the other passages little by little... When the green-aproned chef crossed the boundary of the other passages, Lin Yi was still a little nervous, but when his consciousness really followed this body into the passage, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "It''s really feasible..." For Lin Yi, just this alone meant that half of his plan had already succeeded. The other passages and the student passage are clearly both ways to enter the cafeteria, but the environments are completely different. Compared to the water-seeping environment in the student passage, the walls here are covered with moss, and some snot-like viscous liquid faintly seeps from the brick seams. Some of the mucus even sticks to the edges of the steps. If you step on it, it feels no different from stepping on glue. Even the blue-aproned chef avoided some of it. Occasionally, stepping into a patch of slime, the blue-bibbed chef''s shoe would drag out many slender threads, like pulling taffy. Upon entering the tunnel, the blue-bibbed chef''s bib seemed to react like film, transforming imperceptibly into a green-bibbed chef, while the green-bibbed chef, who had been like a ghostly double, completely "returned to the source," merging into this body. At this moment, its body and mind were entirely "Green-Bibbed Chef." However, it still felt somewhat uncomfortable, wiggling its arms and twisting its neck a few times, but it couldn''t detect anything unusual. So, it continued forward. "Drip¡­" "Drip¡­" "Drip¡­" As it walked forward, slime began to drip down from the tunnel''s ceiling. The tunnel was lit by incandescent lights, but these lights were covered in shadow-infused slime, some resembling swallows'' nests on rural ceiling fans, others like beehives on old tree branches. The light throughout the tunnel was dim, as if trapped by the slime. But even in such a tunnel, there were many figures. Among them were the athletes, some of whom had already turned their school uniforms inside out, while others were still taking off their clothes as they walked. They seemed accustomed to the environment of these other tunnels, showing no signs of distress, and even when they saw the green-bibbed chef, they merely frowned slightly. There was a faint, elusive odor in the other tunnels, a ghostly smell that drifted around, and if you happened to inhale it, it was like taking a whiff of industrial glue, leaving a sour, astringent taste in your throat. Besides that, there was also a strong metallic, bloody smell in the tunnel, like licking a rusty iron nail on the seashore after cutting your tongue, your nostrils filled with the combined scent of rotten seaweed and old blood scabs¡­ The newest chapters are first released on Liu Jiu Shu Ba (69shuba)! As it walked, a cold, damp sensation brushed past the green-bibbed chef. The almost empathetic sensation also seemed to brush past Lin Yi''s earlobe. His perception extended outward, and with a "turn," he seemed to glimpse some eerie figures. His attention swept across the wall, and the moss that covered it suddenly revealed scale-likeÎÆÀíÎÆÀí, only to return to its smooth surface in the blink of an eye¡­ "This tunnel¡­ feels like the intestines of some creature¡­" Lin Yi mused. Continuing on, the green-bibbed chef took a turn somewhere, and most of the figures in the tunnel disappeared. An unprecedented, eerie chill enveloped Lin Yi''s senses, making him instinctively want to retreat. Lin Yi quickly restrained his emotions and observed the current situation. He knew the green-bibbed chef was still in another tunnel, but that turn seemed to have crossed some kind of layer, leading Lin Yi to intuitively believe that he had left the other tunnels. The green-bibbed chef began to move, but Lin Yi didn''t feel like it was "walking," but rather "sliding." He subconsciously sensed the green-bibbed chef''s physical state, and immediately his scalp went numb. He saw that the green-bibbed chef''s legs had disappeared, replaced by a mass of mochi-like substance. This substance wriggled continuously on the ground, propelling the green-bibbed chef''s body forward, like a ray gliding along the seabed or an octopus moving by alternating its suckers. Accompanying this movement was a "shasha, shasha, shasha¡­" sound from beneath it. Lin Yi couldn''t determine where this was at all, only feeling that this environment no longer resembled the cafeteria. "Beneath the layer where the cafeteria is located, could there be another layer? And is this other layer where the green-bibbed chef is?" "The convenience store owner¡­ should also know about this, right?" After twisting and "shasha"-ing for about three to five minutes, the green-bibbed chef stopped. Lin Yi released his senses in real-time, only to find that the green-bibbed chef had arrived at a place filled with gray mist, the entire environment permeated with an eerie feeling. Then, he captured some strange noises, a "clink, clang, clatter," like the sound of pots and pans colliding. Besides that, there seemed to be some other sounds¡­ "Ah? This sound¡­?" Lin Yi was a bit puzzled. How could he hear kitchen noises in such an underworldly place? What, is "The China Culinary Arts Institute is the Shaolin Temple''s kitchen" really a thing?! Hell''s Kitchen? Please, this joke isn''t funny! So, Lin Yi cautiously released his senses outward¡­ First, he sensed a craggy stone pillar, its surface covered with irregular honeycomb-like holes, a true blessing for trypophobes. The holes seemed to be secreting some kind of viscous substance, like¡­ ketchup. From time to time, some green-bibbed chefs would come over to collect some ketchup and then turn around and leave. Lin Yi thought, these green-bibbed chefs are quite busy¡­ His perception continued to spread, and soon he came into contact with a stone wall¡ªyes, a stone wall, not a place paved with bricks and tiles. "Judging from this, this place seems to be carved out of the mountain¡­" Then, without a doubt, this isn''t in the cafeteria. Lin Yi speculated that the green-bibbed chef either went through some secret passage or crossed a layer. Although crossing layers is a profound and unfathomable skill, it also has its levels. The kind of leap that Lao Mo made from the campus to the art building must be more difficult than the kind of submersion and emergence between the same area, or even the same space''s outer and inner worlds, that the green-bibbed chef is doing. After all, the original reality layer where the art building was located was near the "Scandinavian" peninsula in Northern Europe. Even if it was banished to another layer by the first apostle, it still had little to do with China. But relying on layer leaps, Lao Mo managed to bring him over. No wonder the convenience store owner said it''s hard to do without coordinates. After all, it''s about leaping to an unknown layer on a global scale. But on the other hand, doesn''t that mean the convenience store owner can fly anywhere in the world as long as he has the coordinates? Hiss¡­ what kind of 91 porn star convenience store owner is that¡­ Complaints aside, Lin Yi''s perception continued to spread. But as his perception expanded, the situation here made him feel more and more uneasy. Wait, are you guys really cooking? Are the freaking green-bibbed chefs that hardworking?! I''m really screwed! Please, you''re not even human anymore, so why are you still working like mules?! As expected, the secret of the world is that 99.99% of the mules serve less than 0.001% of the people! #472 - Green kitchen car, 0-100 acceleration in 03 seconds Chapter 463: "Green Chef Ride," 0-100 km/h in 0.3 seconds Lin Yi really wanted to drag the eerie art female teacher over, press her head into that pot, and fill it with the viscous white liquid, then question her, "Is this what you call ''Glorious Evolution''?" Evolving from a beast of burden into another kind of beast of burden?! Oh, no, that''s not right¡ªperhaps after ''Glorious Evolution,'' they might have a chance to enter that 0.001%. As his perception deepened, streams of information were gradually fed back into Lin Yi''s mind. A filthy and disgusting kitchen, so repulsive that it made him tremble and feel physically ill, appeared in his mind. That kitchen was piled high with corpses, indistinguishable whether they were from humans, Nightwalkers, or other humanoid entities. They were randomly stacked there, black liquid seeping and flowing from under the pile of corpses¡­ Some of the larger pieces of meat were still wriggling slightly, and some meat seams had eyeballs growing out of them. The ends of those large eyeballs were connected to the meat with blood vessels and meridians, but at this moment, they seemed to be alive, rolling around. Lin Yi immediately understood where the disgusting and nauseating smell he had encountered on the way here came from. This was the source. Some green-aproned chefs nimbly grabbed some soft, wriggling pieces of corpses, chopping them up or turning them into noodle-like substances, and throwing them into a steaming bronze pot. The pot was mostly rusted, with countless worm-like reliefs protruding from its surface. Swollen organic matter floated in the boiling, dark green soup, and some severed limbs kept rolling over under the propulsion of the bubbles¡­ When the green-aproned chefs stirred the prepared ingredients in the pot, some ''ßÞßÞѽѽ'' sounds mixed with bubbles emerged from the pot, like babies crying. "Ugh¡­ ugh¡­" Lin Yi almost vomited; his stomach was churning violently. After they fished out the cooked stuff, they would thoughtfully pour a slice of soul juice on top¡ªthe ketchup they got from the honeycomb-like holes. "Could this be spaghetti with meat sauce? Ugh¡­" Even though he had reached that level of understanding, seeing that scene with his own eyes still made Lin Yi feel as disgusted as possible. But at the same time, a bizarre concept emerged in his mind¡ªcould this be behind window number ten of the food stall? At this moment, the green-aproned chef finally moved, starting to walk in a direction away from the kitchen. As it moved, Lin Yi''s perceptual field, radiating around it, also shifted and began to slowly move along the nearby walls. When his perceptual tentacles spread over a certain area on the stone wall, he couldn''t help but sense a strong sense of summoning, and he looked over in that direction. In this grotto filled with mist, the rugged stone walls seemed to refract thousands of strands of wriggling light, like phosphorescent fire floating in an old forest on a summer night, with a hint of eerie color. A trace of Lin Yi''s will slowly floated out from the depths of the green-aproned chef''s body, manipulating the green-aproned chef to look in that direction¡ªthe green-aproned chef didn''t even realize that it had made this physical action. When it turned to that direction, a flash of bright gold suddenly burst out from its gray-golden eyes¡ªLin Yi''s will erupted through the body of another! "Vision Insight," activate! Perceptual tentacles, continue to follow! With the dual blessing of vision and perception, he gradually cleared the mist and saw a strange corner in the depths of the distant grotto¡­ The phosphorescent light spots were not a light source, but a crystal-like substance, some teeth and finger bones embedded in the rock. But whether in shape or structure, they seemed to be quite different from the human body, and it was impossible to judge how that thing became like crystal. On the stone wall around the bone-shaped crystal, there were also some strands stained with green viscous liquid. Following the source of the strands, Lin Yi saw a scene that made him shudder once again. A huge tumor-like aggregate hung from the dozens of meters high dome of the grotto, with thousands of remnants growing together in a way that violated anatomy¡­ The femurs of those corpses grew coral-like branches, the ribs squeezed out semi-melted visceral moss, and several suspended suspected female corpses were relatively well preserved, but their chests were wide open, and dark red "roots" as thick as pythons drilled out from between the fractured ribs¡­ The faces of the female corpses were half-hanging aside, growing together with some other structures. The contours of the faces made Lin Yi feel a burst of familiarity, seemingly Zhou Yuting, who had died a day ago. Inside the pile of corpses, dozens of spines could be faintly seen connected end to end, forming some indescribable mutated structure. The nerve bundles covering the surface of the spine pulsed like blood-sucking vines¡­ Such a combination revealed a kind of flesh cybernetic heretical beauty. On the huge pile of corpses, countless chain-like "roots" seemed to hang down, all of which were aggregated from corpses grown in a way that violated ordinary people''s cognition. They floated and swayed, always drooping to near the ground of the grotto. There, countless green-aproned chefs were busy cutting the "roots" with the knives at hand. Their faces wore eerie smiles, their eyes widened like copper bells, and the corners of their mouths grinned evilly to the roots of their ears. They repeated the chopping movements at hand with fanaticism and greed, dissecting the corpse pieces from the "roots" with incomparable skill, and then transporting them to the direction of the Hell''s Kitchen¡­ The ingredients cooked in that kitchen were actually "grown" on these roots! The green-aproned chef, controlled by Lin Yi''s "parasitic" will, was obviously about to join the dissection army at this moment. When it approached and reached out to pull the "root", the skull at the end of the "root" suddenly twisted 180 degrees, and the mandible opened and closed, making a booming sound like a pipe organ bass stop¡­ "Living person! There''s a living person!! There''s a living person!!!" The skull suddenly shouted loudly, and then the entire pile of corpses trembled, and rotten meat debris rustled down¡­ "Catch him!" "Catch him!!" Countless mouthparts in the pile of corpses began to shout, and the noisy sound vibrated the inner walls of the grotto like sound waves, and countless soil and stone debris followed and fell. Inside the grotto, soil ash and mist blended together. If there were living people here, they would cough to death on the spot due to air pollution. All the nearby green-aproned chefs stopped their original work in an instant, standing still like a crashed robot, while the green-aproned chef looked around in confusion, and didn''t realize there was a problem with it at all. Just then, the will that Lin Yi had injected into its body erupted completely. In an instant, it seized control of that body. Then, it raised its right arm, and the sky-blue aura that Lin Yi had previously injected into it surged out like a dam bursting. It intertwined wildly, eventually forming a sky-blue cleaver! Lin Yi decisively waved the cleaver, hacking fiercely at a nearby ''root''! Clang! The blade cut into the flesh, but failed to sever the internal spine on the first strike. Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. What the hell? How could it be so tough?! After the initial shock, he immediately realized that this was, after all, the aura he had injected, not what his main body had unleashed. It wasn''t unreasonable that the effect was several levels weaker. So, while the surrounding green-aproned chefs were still in a ''crashed'' state, he hacked fiercely at the spine again. Clang! Clang! Clang! He was like a butcher, chopping the pig bones along with the meat, hacking fiercely at this ''root''. Finally, on the third strike, the ''root'' snapped with a ''crack''! "Aww¡ª" The corpse pile trembled, and minced meat mixed with viscous liquid rained down, like a fool hiding under a tree after the rain, kicking the trunk and getting a face full of raindrops. Lin Yi threw the severed ''root'' on the ground and began hacking at another nearby ''root''. The corpse pile howled, and the ''crashed'' green-aproned chefs finally began to move, rushing towards Lin Yi''s ''mount, Green Chef''! From the shadows, they moved with terrifying speed, as if countless bolts of silk were wrapping around the Green Chef mount. Lin Yi was hacking with enthusiasm, and seeing that the spine was finally about to break, he couldn''t bear to give up. So, he gritted his teeth and delivered the final blow. Then, he tucked the two ''roots'' under his armpits and began to repeatedly murmur¡ª "I am Lin Yi, I am lost, I should go outside the cafeteria, I want to escape from here¡­" "I am Lin Yi, I am lost, I should go outside the cafeteria, I want to escape from here¡­" "I am Lin Yi, I am¡­" The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com! As he spoke, he suppressed his will, allowing the Green Chef mount to take over the body. With the continuous murmuring, some mechanism within the Green Chef mount was triggered, and it also began to mutter to itself: "I am Lin Yi, I am lost, I should go outside the cafeteria, I want to escape from here¡­" "I am Lin Yi¡­" "I am Lin Yi¡­" As it muttered, its face began to change to resemble Lin Yi¡­ By the time it was submerged by the surrounding green-aproned chefs, its face had already become seventy percent like Lin Yi. "I am Lin Yi¡­ I want to¡­ escape from here!!" It burst out with an unknown strength, breaking free from the green-aproned chefs, and then, in the same way, with two ''roots'' under its armpits, it merged into the shadows, piecing together its instinctive reactions, and running constantly on the road to escape! "Woohoo~ 0 to 100 km/h in 0.3 seconds~" Lin Yi''s will felt the speed unleashed by the Green Chef mount and couldn''t help but cheer in his heart. The mechanism of the green-aproned chefs had finally been put to use! As it moved further away from the grotto, the corpse pile let out a low, impotent roar, but the Green Chef mount''s murmuring was finally captured by it. It trembled frantically, as if it had discovered some shocking secret, or perhaps some long-dreamed-of food, conveying a kind of deranged excitement. Countless mouthparts and pieces of flesh on its body writhed. The next moment, that voice that made Lin Yi''s soul tremble, like a soul-reaping ghost, caught up with Lin Yi''s hearing¡­ [Lin Yi¡­ ] [You''ve come¡­ ] [¡­Lin Yi¡­ ] Lin Yi''s soul trembled violently, his scalp instantly tingling as if struck by countless electric currents. "This¡­ this is¡­ ''Burial Body''?!" In a panic, Lin Yi''s vision suddenly exploded. He saw the writhing corpse pile. Although it was vastly different from the ''Burial Body'' in the convenience store, that familiar scent instantly linked it to the ''Burial Body''! "Could it be¡­?!" "The thing contained in the convenience store is only the core part of the ''Burial Body''. Its main body is too large, so it''s actually contained by the entire cafeteria?!" "And the ''base'' of the green-aproned chefs is located on a certain section of the ''Burial Body'' iceberg hidden beneath the water''s surface?!" Moreover, judging from the ''crashed'' state of the green-aproned chefs, there seems to be some kind of connection between them and the ''Burial Body''! With the continuous calls, the ''Burial Body'' seemed to form some kind of connection with the crystal skeletons on the stone walls. Those eerie will-o''-the-wisps seemed to suddenly gain self-awareness. They broke free from the physical laws of linear propagation, twisting into some kind of bizarre flame sigil in the grotto. Each stroke was pieced together by writhing minced meat and corpse lice. They became the ''Burial Body''s'' amplifier, dancing and chasing the Green Chef mount, the distorted calls sounding like thousands of bone files scraping against fractured bones. The entire grotto trembled faintly, and the ketchup flowing out of the honeycomb-shaped stone pillars began to intertwine little by little on the Green Chef mount''s path, like asphalt. The green-aproned chefs shrieked and roared, entangled with the sigils formed by the will-o''-the-wisps, chasing the Green Chef mount like burning evil spirits. But the Green Chef mount was no pushover either. Everyone accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h. I''ll take the first step, why do you think you can catch up with me? The Green Chef mount sprinted wildly. It must be said that the instinctive driving force was fierce. In an instant, it had already rushed out of the grotto. In a flash, before Lin Yi could even react, it entered another passage¡­ With one entry and one exit, Lin Yi didn''t even realize that the layers were crossed. He could only temporarily attribute this to the Green Chef mount''s ''racial talent''. "I am Lin Yi, I want to escape from here!" "I am Lin Yi, I want to escape from here!" The Green Chef mount sprinted in other passages while repeatedly murmuring this sentence, as if chanting some kind of buff-giving spell, as if as long as it escaped from here, it could really soar into the sky. Finally, it rushed out of the other passage with irresistible speed! "I am Lin Yi, I am out! I am out!" It shouted excitedly, as if it had experienced a hearty chase. "Yes, you are out." Just then, a cheap-sounding voice rang in its ear. Lin Yi looked at it with a smile, a sly grin on his face. "How should I put it?" "Oh right! Congratulations, congratulations¡­" #473 - See Zhao Lingxiao Again Originally, upon hearing that voice, Vehicle Green Chef felt something was off. Then, seeing Lin Yi''s face, which closely resembled "his own," it was completely dumbfounded. What''s going on? It seemed to be thinking, ''I am Lin Yi, so who is this imposter?'' But at this moment, Lin Yi swiftly snatched the two "root hairs" from its hand. Upon contact, he reclaimed the portion of his will "lodged" within its body, along with the arm he had tampered with, which he also detached. Immediately afterward, before Vehicle Green Chef could react, Lin Yi, with a bit of ash on his fist, punched it back into the other passageways. ¡°I¡­¡± Vehicle Green Chef, watching the passageway exit recede into the distance, revealed some human-like struggle due to excessive anchoring. ¡°I am Lin Yi¡­ as long as¡­ I reach¡­ that place¡­¡± ¡°I¡­¡± It crashed heavily to the ground, greeted by the green-bibbed chefs who had finally caught up, panting and puffing. These green-bibbed chefs surrounded Vehicle Green Chef, all wearing their signature eerie smiles, but at this moment, each green-bibbed chef''s face seemed to express something. "So you''re the one calling yourself Lin Yi?!" "Weren''t you pretty slippery with your movements just now?" "Yell a little louder!" It was unclear who struck the first blow, but soon it was impossible to tell which hand was attacking Vehicle Green Chef, the main goal being to disable its mobility first. But as they were hitting, one of the green-bibbed chefs seemed to realize something terrifying and retreated to the side. ¡°Ash¡­ ash¡­¡± All the green-bibbed chefs scattered in an instant, then, as if they had seen a ghost, they threw Vehicle Green Chef into another passageway. As if to say, "Die far away!" ¡­ October 23, 2023, 12:23 PM, in front of the entrance to the other passageways. After dealing with Vehicle Green Chef, Lin Yi immediately glanced at the time on his watch. Then, he gazed into the other passageways with interest, his eyes full of anticipation. After just a few glances, he felt that the two "root hairs" in his hand seemed to be undergoing some kind of malignant qualitative change, so he wanted to rush back to the teaching building. These two "root hairs" were actually the raw materials he planned to use to construct a "puppet." Primitive puppets often only require simple construction. His original plan was to use his own perception as a link to sneak a portion of his will into a green-bibbed chef''s body. When it reached the green-bibbed chefs'' gathering place, he would launch a surprise attack, kill one or two green-bibbed chefs, and then use their corpses as raw materials. After all, since it would take some time to go to Green Forest Belt anyway, spending some time dealing with green-bibbed chefs was the same ¨C of course, originally he had to go to the Barren Land to get extraordinary materials, and Green Forest Belt was a necessary route. But now that Kuai Kuai had taken care of the extraordinary materials, there were naturally more choices for the remaining material acquisition. Moreover, judging from his understanding of non-human units, the "material level" of green-bibbed chefs seemed to be much higher than that of Pseudo-human Sculptures. So he arranged this scene, but he didn''t expect the green-bibbed chefs'' base to bring him far more surprise and fright than expected, forcing him to try to collect some higher-level, more disgusting materials. Then, he also injected a small amount of soul ash into Vehicle Green Chef''s body, trying to squeeze out the last bit of its value and use it to ignite the other green-bibbed chefs. But just a few steps after he turned around, the Vehicle Green Chef that he had thrown into the other passageway was thrown back out. Seeing Vehicle Green Chef struggling to get up from the ground, Lin Yi knew that the plan to set fire to the green-bibbed chefs had failed. ¡°Alas, the one who tied the bell must untie it.¡± Lin Yi sighed helplessly, walked over and pressed down on the green-bibbed chef, grabbed it by the back of its neck, and dragged it along the ground like a kitten. The green-bibbed chef kept struggling, trying to break free from Lin Yi, but under the sunlight, its own power was suppressed extremely severely, and Lin Yi''s sky-blue aura, like a rainbow piercing the sun, suppressed it fiercely. Lin Yi, holding the two disgusting "root hairs" under one arm and dragging the green-bibbed chef with the other, began to stride towards the teaching building. Before he had walked far, the green-bibbed chef began to turn into a blue-bibbed chef, and its will floated out like a double exposure in a layer. Before long, its body began to turn white, and its shadow-like will also began to fade and annihilate. Finally, the green-bibbed chef seemed unable to maintain its form any longer. The shadow collapsed into green powder particles, and its body turned into a pure white plaster sculpture. Lin Yi casually threw it to the side of the road, clenched his palm, secret patterns floated within his palm, sky-blue aura intertwined, and a baseball bat formed. He gripped the baseball bat and swung it at the blue-bibbed chef''s sculpture. ¡°Bang!¡± The green-bibbed chef sculpture shattered into countless small stones, rolling all over the ground. Lin Yi crushed them one by one, and with a gust of wind, the sculpture fragments scattered like chalk dust without a trace. Lin Yi tightened the two "root hairs" under his arm and quickened his pace towards the teaching building. Just as he was returning from the road on the other passageway side to the proper road in the cafeteria area, he discovered that someone was standing at his route point, seemingly having watched him for a long time. That person was wearing a somewhat dirty school uniform, and their figure gave him some familiar feelings. Taking a closer look, he discovered that it was Zhao Lingxiao, who had only separated from him in the early hours of the morning. Seeing Zhao Lingxiao, Lin Yi was slightly stunned, but he didn''t intend to greet her. He just coldly bypassed her, holding the two "root hairs". This Zhao Lingxiao had deceived him with a pitiful appearance as soon as they met, mixing a lie into every ten sentences, directly misleading his first impression. She was not someone easy to get along with, and he had to keep his distance. This was the experience Lin Yi had summarized after spending a night with her. Seeing Lin Yi treat her like air, Zhao Lingxiao immediately frowned, but it was only for a moment. Her brow relaxed, replaced by a hint of anger. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, why are you like this, ignoring people directly? That''s too rude, right?¡± She stepped onto the cobblestone road and chased after Lin Yi, launching into a barrage of words without explanation, her pitiful face filled with a mix of delicate and angry expressions. Lin Yi remained silent, only focusing on hurrying along. Seeing this, Zhao Lingxiao held her breath and followed behind Lin Yi. After walking at a brisk pace for about ten minutes, Lin Yi quickly entered the teaching building area, and Teaching Building B appeared not far away. He glanced helplessly at Zhao Lingxiao, who was like a plaster, and sighed: ¡°Please, you''ve been following me all the way.¡± "I followed you all this way just to get a single word from you, didn''t I?" She put her hands on her hips, questioning him with indignant dissatisfaction. Lin Yi said your acting is not bad, but it''s a lot worse than last night: "Are you done?" "Not yet!" But Lin Yi seemed to not hear her at all, and just said lightly: "If you''re done, then goodbye, see you." "Hey!" Zhao Lingxiao followed again, chasing after him, "You''re too heartless! We''ve worked together, can''t you even say a word?" She quickened her pace, rushed in front of Lin Yi, spread her arms, and blocked him: "Hey, has anyone ever told you that you''re like a heartless scumbag from Baldi''s Basics?!" Lin Yi felt a trace of annoyance towards this persistent woman, and frowned, asking: "So Zhao Lingxiao, what do you want?" "I saw you smash a chef''s sculpture... To be precise, I saw the whole process." When Zhao Lingxiao said this, her eyes were full of excited brilliance, with a kind of Lin Daiyu''s spirit shining brightly, charging towards the Heavenly Palace, "So handsome!" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes: "Get to the point." He didn''t believe that this woman would be infatuated, let alone come to him for no reason. After all, they originally had nothing to do with each other, but Zhao Lingxiao deliberately approached him, which was too suspicious. Could it be for the "Root"? It''s not impossible... So should I strike first and just kill her? Lin Yi subconsciously pondered for a moment, but immediately rejected it. The other party is, after all, a person, and hasn''t shown any malice. If I really attack her, will it bring unnecessary trouble? Forget it, better to avoid trouble... In principle, he can''t attack Zhao Lingxiao for the time being¡ªbut if Zhao Lingxiao affects his work, then even if it''s a principle, I''m afraid he can only put it aside for the time being. Zhao Lingxiao seemed to also notice Lin Yi''s sense of alienation, and felt that she couldn''t muddle through anymore, so she restrained some of her acting skills, shrugged her shoulders, and confessed: "I saw that thing in your hand, it''s very strange, but it''s very similar to some transcendent substances used to study star secret patterns that I saw in textbooks, so I wanted to come over and take a look..." "No." "Why?" "No means no, you''ll die if you look at it too much." Lin Yi earnestly advised, "Listen to my advice, the water here is too deep, you can''t handle it." "My teacher said, Confucius once said, ''If you glimpse the Dao in the morning, it''s okay to be killed in the evening.''" Zhao Lingxiao gritted her teeth and insisted, "I''ll die if I die, I still want to see it." The corners of Lin Yi''s mouth twitched fiercely. [Isn''t it, sister, Confucius said is Confucius said, what''s with this weird Chinese-to-Chinese translation?] And what''s with this fanatical feeling of not wanting even her life just to take a look? Are you the real fanatic?! "I''m putting the ugly words first, the weight of some contaminations is not something a person can bear. If you want to see, then see, but you''re responsible for the consequences." Lin Yi left a sentence, turned around, and hurried towards the steps of Teaching Building B. He still had to go find Kuai Kuai, and really didn''t have much time to waste words with Zhao Lingxiao here. Seeing this, Zhao Lingxiao''s eyes were full of joy. Lin Yi took all of this into his eyes, and couldn''t help but sigh faintly. He always felt that Zhao Lingxiao had some of the temperament of a "Mist-Piercing Light Seeker". Normal people who saw the corpse-pile form of the "Root" in his hands, those with slower reactions would have their cognition collapse early, and those with faster reactions would run away as if they had seen a ghost, how could they still stick to him. But Zhao Lingxiao not only stuck to him, but also seemed very interested. Was he the only one who thought this thing was disgusting? It''s like holding so many broken corpses... So she followed beside Lin Yi, chattering non-stop like a little magpie. "Where did you find this thing?" "Didn''t you say you saw everything?" "I only started watching when you were beating up that green-aproned chef. I had just finished eating and was about to leave, and then I heard some movement, and when I turned my head, I saw you violently beating the green-aproned chef..." Her tone was sincere, with a feeling of "I saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu." "Okay, I''m not interested in these things." Lin Yi interrupted Zhao Lingxiao and continued on his way. "Although you''re not interested in these things, I''m interested in yours! Tell me about it!" "I won''t tell you." "Oh, you''re such a hateful person, impossible to reason with! Or, you tell me where you got it, and I''ll tell you where my clothes came from?" Zhao Lingxiao grabbed the corner of her clothes and opened it for Lin Yi to see. "I''m not interested." That''s what he said, but Lin Yi still took a look. He remembered that Zhao Lingxiao''s clothes were also dirty and tattered, just not as outrageous as his own avant-garde tattered openwork style, but now, although they were a bit dirty, they weren''t torn at all. What''s going on? "Are you interested?" Zhao Lingxiao exclaimed, "Let''s exchange information!" "I''m not interested." Lin Yi walked on in silence. Zhao Lingxiao pouted, somewhat dissatisfied: "Okay, okay, consider it my apology! These clothes are actually from those classmates who have already died." "Are you a devil? Licking bags even onto your body?" Lin Yi was about to say, but when he thought that his own behavior of taking Pan Jian''s digital camera also belonged to the category of licking bags, just not as perverted as Zhao Lingxiao''s. "They''re already dead, keeping their clothes doesn''t make any sense. What''s wrong with me making use of waste?" Zhao Lingxiao said frankly, "Besides, some clothes are almost petrified, it wasn''t easy for me to find this set." Truly a little devil with a smiling face and a dark heart... Lin Yi secretly commented in his heart. The little devil followed up and asked: "So where did you get those things?" "..." "If you don''t want to say, then forget it." Zhao Lingxiao pouted, and suddenly said again, "Then can you tell me what you''re going to use them for? Their characteristics are constantly flowing away, you should be processing them soon, right?" "The teacher said that for this kind of meat secret pattern material, freshness is very important. Only when it''s freshly fresh can you get the highest quality." Lin Yi''s mouth twitched: "Is your secret pattern teacher a chef?" "You know that too?" Zhao Lingxiao blinked, "Although she never admitted it, the things she makes are really delicious." Lin Yi felt like he couldn''t continue the conversation. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Lingxiao would follow his lead and continue.
