Chapter 108 I killed it
X May 8, 2023, 7:14.
The dawn shines down from under the clear sky, causing the cobblestone road to reflect mottled golden light.
Lin Yi and his party left the dormitory area in a grand manner, and entered the canteen area through the thin mist.
While passing the boundary of the area, Lin Yi looked at the street lights on the dividing line again.
I saw that the other street lamp numbers were very confusing, but the two closest ones were indeed "dormitory-001" and "canteen-001".
The moment he entered the canteen area, Lin Yi clearly felt the cold feeling of passing through the water curtain.
"Each building in the campus seems to be an independent space." He suddenly felt something strange and couldn't help but sigh, "It feels like...each building is an isolated island floating in the sea, out of reach of each other, but closely connected through the cobblestones covered with street lights on the campus."
Tian Bufan glanced at him in surprise, and then He nodded silently: "Every building on the campus may exist on an independent layer."
"All buildings are independent of each other and related to each other. Whether individually or as a whole, their layer structure is very complex."
"By the way..." Lin Yi looked at him curiously, "Mr. Tian, when did you come for dinner yesterday?"
"That's about it." Tian Bufan said, "I joined the group of athletic students who stayed in the classroom overnight and went to the cafeteria to have breakfast."
"What happened to those weird art students and inhuman classmates?" r/>
"Escape...escape? Wait, I seem to understand running away, but what does taking away mean?"
Running if you can't beat him is not shabby at all, and judging from the elusive and ridiculous speed of his inhuman classmates, as long as he runs determinedly with the lights out, he will definitely be able to escape, but what does taking away mean?
Arrest?
Tian Bufan shook his head: "I don't know. Some of the sports students took them away as soon as it was light, and the other ones went to the cafeteria."
"I couldn't follow them out until 7:40."
"Oh... okay." Lin Yi nodded slightly, "What about you, Wei Sang Kuai Kuai?"
"It's time to eat, it's time to drink." Wei Shan cherished words like gold, but he was very violent, "If anything dares to come to me, I will tear it into pieces!"
"Barbaric." Kuai Hongji sneered and shook his head.
Lin Yi stopped Wei Shan, who was almost angry, and hesitated: "Have you met the green bib chef?"
Wei Shan glanced at Tian Bufan and saw that Tian Bufan was looking at the surrounding environment without any other expression, so he said:
"I didn't eat breakfast either, but when I was leaving after lunch, a chef wearing a green bib rushed towards me."
"With his skill, he should have run away, right? Did he chase..."
"I killed it." Wei Shan said coldly, with murderous intent hovering in his eyes.
Lin Yi's expression changed, and his original sentence "Did he chase you out of the student cafeteria to deal with you?" instantly became a squib.
He opened his mouth, but his brain circuit didn't go around it at first.
"No...cuckold can be killed?"
"I don't know if it can be killed." Wei Shandao, "But I feel like I killed it."
Lin Yi's mind flashed back to the scene in his dream where Wei Shan fought back against his inhuman classmates.
That powerful kick really seemed to be able to break granite...
"Are you injured?" He asked with concern.
"I don't know." Wei Shan shook his head, "But I feel very strange... After I touched them, it felt like I was entangled with something."
"I hate this feeling... ...They make me angry - although I have always been angry, I have never been so angry...When I see them, I want to tear them apart, just like...I want to tear up that Yinbi."
He pointed at Kuai Hongji.
“Hey, hey, hey, fat man, don’t involve me in such trivial matters.” Kuai Hongji smiled grimly.
But Lin Yi on the side was confused: "This...?"
Wei Shan's situation seemed to be completely different from him...
According to his speculation, after seeing inhuman classmates, he would fall off the level due to cognitive distortion, but Wei Shan did not seem to have such a change.
Why is this?
He doesn't understand.
"Is my guess wrong...or is my guess not rigorous enough? Or is there something special about Weishan?"
He felt a little dizzy, but since Weishan seemed to have no problem, he was relieved for the time being.
"Kuaikui, what about you?"
Kuai Hongji shook his head: "I'm not in danger."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and then withdrew his gaze.
His expression is serious, but in fact he is a little tense inside. When his teammates stand towards him, the difference is not too obvious.
"Well, if you dare to fall in love, I'll survive a damn narrow escape, right?"
Put aside the situation and just talk about the encounter, even Mao Feiyang who was trapped in the art building was not as outrageous as he was.
Five minutes later, everyone arrived at the notice board in front of the canteen.
The canteen under the morning light has a magnificent feeling of glass texture. The octagonal cage-like architectural shape surrounded by thin mist actually gives people a feeling of a fusion of Tang Dynasty and modern architectural styles.
If you put aside the exaggerated passages around it that run counter to its architectural style.
After grabbing a copy of the canteen rules from the notice board, Lin Yi did not rush to the student passage, but looked at other passages first.
After the exchange with Tian Bufan, he had more views on other passages. At this point, there were also some people wearing sports uniforms walking into the passage sparsely.
This time he did not see the girl in the sailor suit, but it was normal to think about it. After all, the two parties had different concepts of time, and in a sense, the girl in the sailor suit could not even be classified as an "art student".
At least, that was the case as of the time before he left the dream.
“Should I call them ‘them’ or ‘them’ now?” This thought came to Lin Yi’s mind involuntarily.
After staring at other passages for a while, he glanced at the employee passage again.
But several times he has never seen an employee in the employee passage.
In the end, his eyes paused on the trash can for a moment, then silently took it back, and walked towards the entrance of the student passage with Tian Bufan and the others.
"Please be careful, this student passage is a bit weird." He said, fearing that Wei Shan and Kuai Hongji might not hear clearly the conversation between him and Tian Bufan last night, so he briefly explained what happened to him.
Tian Bufan said: "The situation you are talking about should be after the fog fills the entire passage. When it is filled with fog and there is no end in sight, there will be a feeling of the 'Penrose ladder effect'..."
"But there is not much fog now, so the problem should not be big... But as you said, everyone should stay vigilant."
The incandescent lamp in the student passage is always on, and the sun is out, so the thick fog that was originally deposited has almost dissipated, leaving only a thin layer floating on the steps like dry ice.
When several people walked in the student passage, they felt like they were climbing up the stairs in the fairy mountain in the clouds.
Lin Yi silently observed the walls inside the student passage. The weird feeling was so deep the first two times that he didn't observe it carefully. Now the discomfort has faded a lot. In addition, Tian Bufan and the others are also there, giving him the opportunity to observe while walking.
"The wall tiles here seem interesting." Halfway through, Tian Bufan suddenly said something, then stopped at the current steps, slowly walked towards the wall in front of him, and quietly observed it.
Lin Yi was attracted by Tian Bufan's behavior and approached him.
The inner wall of the student passage is a kind of uneven wall, just like the stone path under the bunker that has been polished over time. The arc-shaped dome also gives people a sense of familiarity with an air raid shelter.
After the mist filled the student passage last night, there were traces of outflow on the inner wall of the passage, and even the steps under the feet were covered by a thin layer of water.
But now there is no sign of running water, as if the water flow encountered yesterday evening does not exist at all.
As he approached the wall, Lin Yi suddenly discovered that there seemed to be man-made traces on these pitted walls, as if they had been chiseled with knives and axes, and then smoothed out.
Tian Bufan stretched out his hand and touched the wall gently, frowning slightly.
"Have you found anything?"
"There are some traces of patterns or symbols on the walls here, but unfortunately they have been polished off."
“Perhaps it was caused by the water flow.” Lin Yi briefly talked about what happened yesterday evening.
Tian Bufan said: "Flowing water will indeed erode the landform, but how many years will it take for dripping water to penetrate the stone?"
"Then what you mean is...this was erased by humans?"
Tian Bufan shook his head and said: "Unlikely It was artificially erased. "
"Since the symbols have to be artificially erased, why not just choose other materials during construction? Wait until the construction is completed before erasing?"
"Perhaps... the people who built it and the people who erased them are not the same people?" Lin Yi speculated.
“You can keep this conjecture.” Tian Bufan said, “I have other conjectures.”
“What conjecture?”
"Another guess is that running water has indeed eroded the landscape here. You just said you heard the sound of water when you left yesterday..."
"Not only heard it, I also stepped on the water."
"
"The dining hall is open for dinner from 16:00 to 20:00, so this time period is likely to be after 20:00. It is dark and there is abnormal weather, so the layers begin to fall and water flows into the channel."
"The speed of the water at that time may have been far beyond our imagination, thus achieving the effect of rubbing against the wall."
"This..." Lin Yi looked surprised. He was shocked that Tian Bufan could always think of so many things.
"Of course this is also a conjecture."
"Two conjectures, one is caused by humans, the other is caused by layers... In comparison, I prefer that it is caused by layers." Tian Bufan squinted his eyes. Eyes, "Let's go, don't waste time, go have breakfast."
Although the inner wall of the student passage has some special features, it did not waste too much time. After a brief glance, they walked towards the exit of the student passage together.
Just when he saw the exit, Lin Yi suddenly felt a "familiar" feeling in his heart that sent a chill down his spine.
He knew that the chef in the blue bib with the iconic evil smile on his face should greet him in front.
He looked up and saw the chef in a blue bib at the end of the student passage.
This is a very strange guy. Sometimes Lin Yi can see him, and sometimes he can't.
The guy was standing in the blank space between the exit of the student passage and the entrance to the student restaurant. However, Lin Yi could only see him when he was in that blank space. As long as he left the blank space, he could be seen no matter inside the student passage or in the student cafeteria.
It seems that the meaning of the existence of this blue bib chef is to make Lin Yi doubt the reality and illusion of reality.
"Huh..." Wei Shan exhaled a long breath in a low tone. He glanced at the chef in the blue bib with strong hostility. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, like a vigilant and extremely restrained beast.
"Weisang, can you also see him?" Lin Yi asked.
"We can all see it." Tian Bufan said calmly, "Don't worry about him, just follow the rules and ignore him."
Wei Shan nodded and withdrew his gaze.
"Do you know what that is?" Lin Yi asked Tian Bufan.
If it were someone else, he might not ask questions. For example, the night before yesterday, he accidentally and subconsciously asked Xu Shunkang something about the basement of the teaching building, which made Xu Shunkang's face change drastically.
At that time, he did not have the concept of "cognition" and "layers", but it is different now. He knows that asking sports students questions beyond their cognition may harm them, but Tian Bufan is different.
The scope of Tian Bufan’s “cognition” is a mystery.
But Tian Bufan shook his head and said speechlessly: "I'm not a god, Old Lin. My information also comes from the analysis and observation of abnormal phenomena. It's not like you ask a question and I can know the answer with just a few clicks."
"The chefs in the cafeteria are a relatively complex group. Although they only have blue bibs and green bibs, the details may be much more complicated than those of art students."
"You first remember that chefs with blue bibs are not necessarily normal, but chefs with green bibs must be abnormal."
