Chapter 136 Talking behind the back
"To be honest, I can't see it either." Xu Shunkang spread his hands, "From her body, I can't see the characteristics of an art student, nor can I see the characteristics of a nocturnal species, like... she has lost her identity certificate. Those kind of art students, if I have to say it, may be "unstable art students". If they continue to sink, they will also become "nocturnal species"."
"Huh?" Lin Yi was a little confused.
Xu Shunkang shook his head: "Don't be surprised, nocturnal species are not a species, but a wide range of collections. They do not have only one transformation path. All creatures that become that state, whether living or dead, are nocturnal species."
Lin Yi was suddenly enlightened, and it seemed that Tian Bufan's guessed path was also correct.
“In other words, chess pieces that lose their identity documents will become nocturnal species, and nocturnal species are the ghosts that wander around the chessboard as you just mentioned?” Lin Yi concluded.
Lin Yi did not want to talk more about this topic: "But you said that nocturnal species are sculptures in a sense?"
"The difference between tadpoles and frogs." Xu Shunkang turned into a master of summarization and said concisely.
Lin Yi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "Tell me more specifically?"
Li Huiyuan added: "If you can, use me as an example..."
Xu Shunkang glanced at Li Huiyuan and continued: "If you are unable to retrieve your identity credentials, you will undergo physical and psychological changes as you are constantly being eroded by the "fog" , become a "nocturnal species", just like those people who huddle in their seats during evening self-study in the classroom. "
"Your body will gradually adapt to the "mist", and your need for "mist" will become as eager as a person's need for food. But at the same time, normal natural light will expel the "mist", so that sunlight will be like a highly toxic substance to you. "
"In extreme cases, you will even develop a strong desire to devour things containing "mist". These impulses and bloodthirsty instincts will gradually take over your mind, until you completely turn into a monster between life and death." And in order to avoid the sun, you need to hide in a place with no light as much as possible. "
"And at night when the sunlight starts to weaken, your body will become extremely hard, like a stone soaked in ice water."
"Especially in abnormal weather filled with "fog", your body functions will be extremely active and even reach a peak state."
"'Such a nocturnal thing, covering the fog and chasing the light, walking day and night, finally becomes nothing.'"
"This is a 'nocturnal species'." Lin Yi listened thoughtfully, and then asked: "Then how could they become sculptures?"
"It's not a sculpture, but something similar to a sculpture." Xu Shunkang corrected.
“‘Similar to a sculpture’?” Lin Yi frowned slightly, with a confused expression, “This sculpture is not the sculpture I understand?”
He thought that the so-called tadpole turning into a frog in Xu Shunkang’s mouth was the process.
Xu Shunkang said: "There is still one level of pollution depth difference between the 'nocturnal species' and the 'sculpture'."
"It's just so different." When he mentioned sculptures, Xu Shunkang's expression became much more serious. "Don't ask too much about things related to 'sculptures'. They are terrifying things at the center of the magnetic field."
"The more things related to sculptures you know, the closer the distance between you and sculptures will be, allowing you to connect with them... This kind of connection is fatal, and none of the known conventional methods can. Let you disconnect this connection in a low-pollution zone. "
Lin Yi was slightly silent. This time, he stopped and asked, "What about the sculpture of nocturnal species?"
"That's no problem." Xu Shunkang nodded, "The reason why nocturnal species are afraid of the sun is that their bodies have not been completely finalized. To put it bluntly, they are not fully developed yet."
“Their bodies cannot store ‘mist’, nor can they convert ‘mist’ into their own power, so as long as it is daytime, their bodies will lose mist like air leakage, and they will go from barely maintaining their human form to that limp, rotten state.”

"If you want to know more specifically...you can ask the chef." Xu Shunkang raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a weird smile. "The premise is that you can enter the staff passage of the cafeteria. If you meet the chef in the area outside the cafeteria, you have to be careful. They are not good at it."
Lin Yi thoughtfully said: "Okay, I remember it."
"Yeah." Xu Shunkang nodded, "Is there anything else I want to ask, if not, we will go back to the classroom first."
Lin Yi asked tentatively: "By the way... why don't you talk to me about the chef again?"
"Go, go, go!" "Xu Shunkang waved his hands repeatedly, "I feel like I've overstepped my bounds by telling you about the nocturnal species, and then I'm telling you about the chef? Haha, why don't you twist off my head and use it as a magic mirror to ask? Okay, okay, I'm going back to the classroom to read comics. If you have any questions, you can ask others, such as the boss...Okay, let's go!"
After Xu Shunkang finished speaking, he took Xie Huayang and left here.
Lin Yi looked at the backs of the two of them, and actually still had many doubts in his heart, but Xu Shunkang was able to tell him about the nocturnal species, which was already the end of his kindness, and he couldn't pester Xu Shunkang anymore.
After all, the sports student’s bat is no joke.
As for asking the boss... Lin Yi suddenly felt a little in awe, fearing that the answer would not be the boss, but the boss's feet.
He lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
14:30.
After chatting for 17 minutes, I got a wave of useful information, which was a huge profit.
"There is one hour left, time is running out, let's go to the next place."
Lin Yi said and left here with Li Huiyuan.
…
After Lin Yi walked away, Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang slowly walked out from the corner of the teaching building.
Looking at Lin Yi's back, Xu Shunkang frowned slightly and sighed: "The boss is right...Lin Yi really has a big problem."
Xie Huayang flapped his nose and grinned like a beast: "His pollution is really too serious. A few streets away, I I can smell the smell of pollution. If you hadn’t stopped me several times, I would have taken out the bat and hit him a few times.”
Lin Yi actually missed one detail - Xie Huayang and Xu Shunkang came here and went back without going to the toilet at all, as if the hunters came over to take a look after noticing something unusual about the animal trap.
Xu Shunkang added: "The boss also said that even the water in the swimming pool could not purify his pollution. Even...he dropped the layer once in the swimming pool, and then he pulled himself back before the boss was about to pull him back."
Xie Huayang was silent.
Xu Shunkang continued: "The boss suspected that after the incident in Datou, our class lost a large number of physical education students and art students, and was unable to replenish its combat power in a short period of time to fight against the nocturnal species and sculptures, so the school specially brought in a guy with high inspiration to quickly adapt to the abnormality of the campus and become one of us..."
Xie Huayang hesitated and said: "How long has he been here? How long has it been since he entered the school on the night of May 6th, and he has been polluted like this? He is not going to the Art Department or the Physical Education Department at this speed, but more like...he is going directly to sculpture." …"
"It's like planting trees." Xu Shunkang took over the words, "Because of the problem of the chessboard, the outside "scholars" and "prime ministers" could not directly interfere, so the school put a "soldier" "Come in, and then use the characteristics of the chessboard to induce him to become a 'scholar' or a 'phase'..."
"So you deliberately played hard to get and told him the information about the "night-walking species"?" Xie Huayang said.
Xu Shunkang nodded: "Anyway, someone is instilling knowledge into him, so why can't it be us? And that's all I can say. Talking more would seem like I'm being too deliberate."
h "But there is only that stupid guy around him."
Xu Shunkang rubbed his brows and felt a headache: "The problem is too big... Lin Yi is probably just a move brought in by the school..."
Hmm..." Xie Huayang nodded, "And in recent times, the frequency of abnormal weather has become higher and higher. At certain times, I even heard the call of the ocean while looking out..."
"That layer is getting closer and closer to us..." Xu Shunkang nodded, with a strong look of worry in his eyes: "The boss hasn't left the gymnasium area for a long time... I last saw her tearing up an alien sculpture while on duty. "
"The owner of the canteen has not appeared for a long time..."
"The art students said that the abnormal noises in the castle are getting louder and louder..."
"The more I think about it recently, the more I feel that there is something wrong with the big head incident. There are a lot of doubts, but they are all covered up by other things. I always feel that there is an invisible force driving everything..."
"Alas..." Xu Shunkang let out a long sigh, "We are just small "soldiers". Even if we are aware that we are on the chessboard, what can we do?"
…
X May 8, 2023, 14:33.
Lin Yi's face looked a little ugly when he walked out of the corridor of the elevator. He thought to himself that he was really polluted. Even Xu Shunchang couldn't tell if he turned on his golden pupils?
· You must know that the kind of eyes that open up give people a feeling of awesomeness, and the eyes are as bright as the eyes.
He looked at Li Huiyuan and asked with some confusion: "Why did you just use yourself as an example? Aren't you afraid of hearing some unacceptable answers?"
Li Huiyuan loosened her pursed lips and laughed at herself: "This is what cannon fodder should do! Don't you Do you just want to know that information? "
"Of course I'm afraid of hearing something that makes me despair, but... I also hope that I can get enough information for you in this way."
Lin Yi squinted his eyes and said nothing.
"Because..." Li Huiyuan sighed, "Because isn't this a deal in itself? I will try my best to help you, in exchange for you... to help me as much as possible when I am in danger."
The interests of the survival game were related. Li Huiyuan gradually understood that only if she really created enough information value for Lin Yi could Lin Yi help her when encountering certain disasters.
She was actually gambling, but from the moment she agreed to be Lin Yi's cannon fodder, she had already started a huge gamble.
After all, the phrase "Help me when you are in danger" has been unfounded from the beginning.
The covered bridges are built on this north-south axis.
There is also a stairwell with a door that is always open on the side of the covered bridge.
Walking through the stairwell to the covered bridge, Lin Yi stopped.
He is currently located at the junction of the east-west axis and the north-south axis of Teaching Building B. Starting from here, going south along the corridor bridge is Teaching Building A, and going north is Teaching Building C.
It is obviously the first floor of the teaching building, but a corridor bridge is built to connect the teaching buildings. This is because the terrain in the mountainous area has undulating problems. Even the rows of teaching buildings have different heights. In addition, the three teaching buildings seem to be connected together, but in fact the distance between each other is still very considerable, so there is a corridor bridge elevated above the ground.
Lin Yi came to the entrance of the covered bridge, stopped and stood, stretched his neck and looked at the outside of the covered bridge.
Despite the rolling hills, the covered bridge connecting the teaching buildings is still very straight, just like a pedestrian bridge.
His condition has been a little bad lately, and I feel like I might take leave one day...
