Chapter 131 Inside the Elevator
With Lin Yi's current cognitive coverage, it is obvious that he will not be stuck by this part of the code. In Tian Bufan's words, he has broadened the boundaries of his cognition and expanded the scope of the "Newbie Village".
Hence, the application scope of some rules has been extended. For example, the first rule, for him, is [the teaching building has more than four floors, a basement, an elevator, and a D building]. However, despite this, the rule [no access] still needs to be followed.
Because "have" and "have not" involve cognition, and "go" involves behavior.
Knowing what crime is and committing crimes are two essentially different things.
The exploration of the teaching building is precisely the exploration of these re-recognized things.
For example, I don’t go to the areas above the fourth floor of the teaching building, but that doesn’t stop me from standing on the fourth floor to see if there is a fifth floor, when will it appear, and what the fifth floor looks like;
Lin Yi will not think about these things if there are any phenomena beyond cognition. He will only write them down and discuss them with Tian Bufan after returning to the dormitory.
In fact, whether it was the first basement floor of the teaching building, the elevator of the teaching building, or Building D, he had already come into contact with it. At that time, his cognition was even shaken, and it was at that time that he experienced his first cognitive overwriting.
Now, he has just changed from "seeing the tiger in the cage from a distance" to "observing the tiger from a close distance through the cage", and...he does not need to observe it himself, just let Li Huiyuan observe it.
It's like flying a kite, and he is the one holding the string.
This is the correct way to play cannon fodder tactics.
Cold-blooded? Cold-blooded.
But this is a deal where everyone gets what he needs, and it is also necessary to be cold-blooded.
For Li Huiyuan, the rusty sword is about to break. Only by quenching it with fire to remove the rust and forging it again can it have a chance to be reborn.
Perhaps, the Rusty Sword will be destroyed in the process, but Li Huiyuan has chosen this path, so Lin Yi should also be cruel.
XMay 8, 2023, 13:23.
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch, and a thought came to his mind: "There are still 7 minutes left, the canteen will be closed..."
At this time, Li Huiyuan turned over the folded piece of paper in her hand and suddenly said: "Classmate Lin, tell me, if I pretend this is my student ID card, can I deceive myself and survive the seven days?"
"Then I won't go back to the dormitory and stay in the classroom, or wait until I get back to the dormitory and go directly to the dormitory office, and after the time has passed, I will go directly to the dormitory room to spend the night?"
"Ignore you and go there. Not to mention whether he can survive seven days in the classroom without sleeping, the situation in the dormitory room is completely unknown, and it is hard to say what will happen after that." Lin Yi thought of the haggard appearance of the dormitory guard, and he didn't know whether the dormitory room was safe or not.
After all, even in the gym, which is known as one of the safest areas, there is a green bib chef asking you if you want a bite of fresh tomatoes!
Who knows what it is like in the dormitory room.
"Also, you can't swipe your card or buy food. How do you solve the problem of eating? Student commemorative coins are free, but you can't eat them." Lin Yi added.
Li Huiyuan curled her lips: "I heard... the kind of ready-to-eat food purchased at the canteen can be given to others."
Lin Yi was slightly startled, but he did not expect this.
"Well, Li Huiyuan is indeed an extension of my cognition..."
"However, the snacks in the canteen only have the effect of filling the stomach and have no effect of purifying pollution."
"But forget it. If you mention this, it will take a lot of words to explain a lot of hot knowledge to her, which will easily cause some cognitive problems for her..."
Lin Yi shook his head: "We are not in a desperate situation yet. Let's not think about this matter for now. You should try to get the student commemorative coins first."
"Well, I listen to you." Li Huiyuan nodded gently. For her, Lin Yi, who pulled her back from the abyss, was her only backbone.
The two were walking and talking, and soon they came to the area in front of the elevator. At this time, Lin Yi stopped Li Huiyuan: "It's right here, don't get close yet."
Li Huiyuan was a little confused, but still stopped.
Lin Yi continued: "Observe the environment in front of you, and then tell me what you see."
Li Huiyuan had no objections, nodded and said okay, and then started observing the elevator.
While Li Huiyuan was observing the environment ahead, Lin Yi was observing Li Huiyuan's situation while paying attention to the passage of time on the watch. Once she had any abnormal changes, he quickly pulled her back from the abnormal state.
The relationship between the two seems to have changed subtly at this moment. It is not that they have reached some kind of bond, but... it feels more like a visually impaired patient and his guide dog.
Half a minute passed, and a minute passed, and Li Huiyuan did not have any unusual reaction.
"Okay." Lin Yi patted Li Huiyuan on the shoulder, "Have you noticed anything? Green mist, or seeing some strange things, or having some hallucinations, etc. If you feel something is wrong, you can tell me."
< br/> However, Li Huiyuan shook her head: "I didn't find anything."
"Oh...Okay." Lin Yi responded in a long tone, and then said, "Now you stand behind me, and I will be the one to observe."
"Then what should I do?" Li Huiyuan asked.
Lin Yidao: "Observe me, if you feel something abnormal about me, or your intuition gives you an ominous premonition, wake me up immediately."
Wake me up?"
“Well, you’ll know when you encounter that situation.” Lin Yi said no more, turned his attention to the space in front of him, and observed the environment in the elevator room.
The position he is currently in is located five meters directly in front of the elevator. Further forward from him is a completely dark small corridor. At the end of the corridor is a seemingly cramped corner, where an elevator is located.
He raised his head and glanced at the ceiling. The position he was in now was where the last corridor light was installed.
In other words, the space in front is an area that can only rely on natural light refracted from the wall to obtain illumination. Once night falls, even if all the incandescent lights in the teaching building are turned on after 18:00, they will not be able to illuminate the area in the elevator room.
That seems to be a conceptual dark area, a corner that even light cannot reach.
If the weather was abnormal, Lin Yi would not take a second glance and would directly choose to turn around and leave. But now, he only dared to take this step because he had the time.
He observed the elevator quietly, but just like Li Huiyuan, he did not see anything unusual.
He waited patiently for almost two minutes, but the horizon with average exposure quality did not appear at all.
Li Huiyuan did not speak, silently waiting for Lin Yi's results.
In the end, Lin Yi shook his head helplessly: "You still have to get closer and observe."
In fact, according to Tian Bufan's opinion, it is best to directly press "↑" on the elevator, wait for the elevator door to open, and go in to take a look inside.
Generally speaking, if you can see the situation inside the elevator, especially the row of floor buttons, you will be able to get a lot of information.
Lin Yi thought about Mao Feiyang's predicament, went through a series of thought storms in his mind, and finally decided to press the "↑" button to take a look.
If you have to press that button sooner or later, then it is better to press it first while the weather is still good.
Li Huiyuan noticed the change in Lin Yi's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she asked in a low voice: "Do you need me to press it?"
"I'll do it." Lin Yi shook his head. Li Huiyuan was not in a safe state, so he couldn't predict what would happen when he pressed this button, but he could.
He took a deep breath and then walked slowly towards the elevator door.
This step was extremely heavy. From the moment he took this step, it meant that he and Tian Bufan were on the same front - a path to explore the campus and then rescue Mao Feiyang despite all the weird problems in the campus.
There were only a few steps to walk in the distance of five meters, and when Lin Yi stepped into that dark corner, even though he had made enough mental preparations, even though his cognition had been broadened enough, even though his will had been firm enough, he still felt the devouring feeling like a giant mouth of an abyss...
Dark shadows wrapped around him from all directions like thick black glue, and the cold breath seemed to be mixed with the cold wind full of ice and struck his face.
He glanced at his watch subconsciously.
13:30.
At this point, the canteen is closed.
He took another look at his clothes.
There is no frost.
So the cold feeling was just the feeling he got from the surrounding environment, and his layers did not change in any way.
"I'm in the teaching building." He stabilized his will, then came to the elevator, reached out and pressed the "↑" button.
A subtle sense of feedback was transmitted to Lin Yi's hand along the texture of the "↑" arrow. It was cold and normal, and there was nothing unusual about it.
「Ding!」
h There was a clear ringing sound in the elevator immediately.
Lin Yi was slightly startled.
Hmm? The elevator stops directly on this floor?
While he was in a daze, a series of sounds of mechanical parts starting to operate were heard in the elevator door. With a sound of "哐——", the elevator door opened to both sides.
As the elevator door opened, Lin Yi saw a horrifying sight that made his hair stand on end and would be unforgettable for the rest of his life - the extremely limited space inside the elevator was densely packed with inhuman classmates.
The reason why I say it is creepy is because this kind of "crowding" is not the kind of crowding in the traditional sense, like squeezing a bus, but another kind of "tension" that makes people feel shocked and disgusted when they see it.
Those inhuman classmates were "filled" in the elevator by an invisible force like boneless flesh. The entire elevator car was full of "classmates" in this form, full of bent, twisted, deformed, and squirming flesh that filled the field of vision. ...
In this "section" after the elevator door was opened, Lin Yi could see no fewer than twenty of them just from the twisted palms, and it was even more difficult to distinguish the heads. He could only judge whether that part was a head through the big eyes protruding from the flesh.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of “storage genius” could knead together such a large number of non-human classmates and stuff them into such a cramped elevator box.
The position where Lin Yi was standing at this moment happened to be about thirty centimeters in front of the "section" after the elevator door opened...
He was like a person in the darkness. The man who was groping slowly forward suddenly opened a strange palace dormant in the dark abyss. The moment the door of the palace opened, he faced the ordinary people in the palace who were full of "artistic works" of ancient cults and abstract lunatics.
This cult style, which is completely different from the normal modern painting style, penetrated into his mind like a violent hurricane, making him in a trance as if he saw a mural with abstract lines and creeping...
That abstract line texture seemed familiar to him. It seemed like...the kind of mural in the art building? !
Lin Yi was so shocked by the strange and mysterious scene in front of him that he was speechless. He gradually opened his eyes wide with a terrifying look.
At this moment, some big bloodshot eyes suddenly opened in the squirming flesh. These big eyes were so wide open that they started to turn like bones as soon as they were opened, as if they were looking for something.
Gradually, some big eyes looked at Lin Yi...
In just this moment, Lin Yi had a terrifying feeling that he had been noticed by countless people. His cold hair stood up suddenly, and his whole body involuntarily stepped back...
Countless emotions such as gloomy, weird, crazy, indifferent, etc. seemed to pour out from the darkness and engulf him.
But he didn't just swallow it, he just walked back along the original path and left the dark corner, returning to the corridor illuminated by the sun.
Lin Yi then discovered that those eyes did not continue to pay attention to him. It turned out that they were just scanning around, as if they were observing the sky.
Suddenly, a sound like the trembling tail of a rattlesnake appeared in Lin Yi's ears——
"Swiss, swish... swish, swish..."
