Chapter 137 The Secret of the Covered Bridge
Lin Yi looked at the covered bridge. After some observation, he found that the covered bridge looked quite normal. If nothing else happened, he might have to wait until an accident occurred before he could see the abnormal side of it.
He suddenly understood why.
"The sun is shining now, so it's normal to see no problems... Maybe we have to wait until unusual weather comes, or go to those very dark corners to observe?"
He shook his head slightly, planning to seize the time to see the next place.
But just when he was about to leave, a gust of wind swept through the mountains and forests, and the forest leaves in the distant mountains and near fields suddenly rustled, just like the sound of waves in the forest...
Lin Yi suddenly thought of something, and quickly came to the entrance of the covered bridge, and then looked at the outer wall of the covered bridge.
"There is indeed a problem!" Lin Yi's eyes flashed.
I saw a layer of moss growing on the outer wall of the covered bridge...
How can moss grow like this in the sun?
So the problem is here.
Lin Yi glanced at his watch. It was now 14:36. He walked decisively to the corridor and slowly walked towards Building C of the teaching building.
While walking, he observed the environment of the covered bridge.
There were also incandescent lights on the ceiling of the covered bridge, but they were not turned on during the day. He mainly started to observe the growth of moss while walking.
Three minutes later, he finished walking across the covered bridge and arrived at Building C of the teaching building.
Li Huiyuan followed him here silently. She was a little puzzled by his behavior along the way but did not speak.
In Building C of the teaching building, the students had returned to the teaching building long ago. It was time for the afternoon self-study class. There were some people walking in the corridor, but not many. Lin Yi didn't show any unnecessary expressions when he saw them.
Lin Yi stood at the exit of the corridor bridge in Building C of the teaching building, rubbing his chin and thinking.
"The distribution of moss on the covered bridge is not a straight line, but somewhat twisted... However, even considering that the covered bridge itself has a high and low direction, then the growth of these moss cannot be twisted, right?"
Lin Yi seemed to have caught some kind of inspiration, and quickly followed this feeling to continue reasoning...
"We cannot think about the problem of moss with conventional ideas. We have to take into account the falling layer, plus the previous conjecture about moss..."
The previous moss was naturally the moss in the student passage in the cafeteria, the moss in front of the steps of the teaching building, and the mountain wall on the first floor of the cafeteria. It's full of moss...
"Assuming that the layer on the covered bridge will not fall, then the growth environment of the moss may be provided by the mountain fog and water vapor at night... But if this is the case, it cannot grow so unevenly, but should grow all over the wall."
"So this assumption is not true, what if the moss completes its growth when the layer falls?"
"If that's the case..."
Lin Yi slowly narrowed his eyes, seemingly staring ahead, but in fact he was lost in thought and lost in some kind of thinking...
Three teaching buildings in a row were constructed in his mind, connected to each other by the Wolf Corridor Bridge, and then...Lin Yi imagined that a mountain mist diffused from the mountains and slowly spread to the teaching area. In the building area...
As the fog came in, the shape of the teaching building began to become unstable, and there was a sense of twisting and stretching...
This feeling was difficult to deduce in his mind, so he changed a method, using the moss as the baseline in his mind, and slowly pulled the twisted lines into a horizontal straight line...
"Hiss... it's a bit difficult..."
It is a bit counter-logical to try to distort a square and regular building like a teaching building through imagination. After Lin Yi tried it, he felt a little headache.
"You need to break some qualitative thinking..."
Lin Yi scratched his head and glanced at Li Huiyuan: "Li Huiyuan?"
"Ah? I'm here." Li Huiyuan suddenly stood up straight.
"I have something to think about. Just wait and look at me. If there is anything wrong with me, just shake me up." Lin Yi said as he walked under the sun.
Li Huiyuan asked as soon as she heard this: "Is it like the way you shook me vigorously?"
Lin Yi was suddenly startled, thinking to himself, I asked you to guard me, why the hell are you still excited? Could it be that you want to take revenge and shake my brains out?
"That's right. Anyway, if you feel something's wrong with me, shake me as hard as you can and scream while shaking me. The harder, the better." Lin Yihu ordered with a serious face.
"Uh... OK." Li Huiyuan didn't know what she thought of, and nodded slightly.
Lin Yi took a deep breath and then glanced at his watch.
14:40.
So far, everything is normal...
He then shook his head violently, like a boxer doing warm-up exercises before a fight, and then began to concentrate and hold his breath, fantasizing in his mind...
“You can’t imagine it as a teaching building, imagine it as...a teaching building made of plasticine...”
“It’s so soft...yes...”
“Imagine the teaching building as a plasticine in the shape of a teaching building, and kneading it instantly became much easier.
Lin Yi felt very happy: "Twisting solids in your mind is really different from imagining kneading plasticine in your mind. The difficulty is really different!"
He then began to slowly straighten the twisted lines formed by the moss. As the lines straightened, the original boxy outline of the teaching building began to collapse, and instead, the stones began to be arranged and combined like Transformers...
When the moss is stretched into a horizontal straight line, the original shape of the building disappears completely, and is replaced by a post-modern architectural work with an extremely strong style.
Like the fortress in Alien, an architectural fortress with extremely abstract lines and strong style.
When he saw this building, he felt that he had a vague insight into the shape of the teaching building after the layers fell, but this seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg of the real situation...
But the clues he knew were only so few at the moment, and it was simply unrealistic to further deduce it, so he gave up the idea of continuing to think about it, quit thinking, and came back to his senses.
"It seems that when the campus is normal, the clues that can be obtained from the corridor bridge are very limited, but oh...how is it possible that there are big problems everywhere in the campus?"
Lin Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, and then turned to Li Hui Yuan said: "Let's go, let's go upstairs next..."
His voice suddenly stopped, and a "long-lost" chill on his spine enveloped him at this moment——
Li Huiyuan disappeared.
"Fuck... Li Huiyuan?!" Lin Yi cursed in his heart. His first reaction was that something happened to Li Huiyuan under his nose, but he immediately realized a more serious problem.
It's not that Li Huiyuan has a problem, it's... that he has a problem! ! !
He found that the covered bridge in front of him was fucking twisted into the shape he had kneaded it with plasticine in his mind!
The question is who doesn’t need to say more, right? !
"Li Huiyuan didn't shake me up? Or...even Li Huiyuan didn't notice that something was wrong with me?!"
If it's the former, it's easy to say, but if it's the latter, it's a big problem...
If you fall off the layer quietly, and no one notices it at all, doesn't it mean that you don't know when you die? !
Lin Yi suddenly panicked, but his instinct told him in an extremely rational tone - I know you are panicked, but don't fucking panic yet.
So he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Why can he remain calm?
Lin Yi himself couldn't tell, but maybe it was because... the strange scene he saw in front of him was something he deduced by himself?
It's like looking at a painting you drew by yourself. No matter how outrageous the painting is, it doesn't look so scary because you drew it yourself?
Lin Yi gradually calmed down. In this environment, he didn't seem to feel any danger - even if the teaching building in front of him was twisted into this weird shape.
At this moment, a voice sounded in his ears...
"Classmate Lin... Classmate Lin..."
This familiar voice shocked his heart.
He turned his head slightly and suddenly saw Li Huiyuan, who had disappeared.
"Hmm? Li Huiyuan appeared again...?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he had an unreal feeling, "Did Li Huiyuan also fall into this layer? It shouldn't be..."
Lin Yi was a little confused. This thing about layer drops, he had never seen anyone else...
Oh, no, he had met a little genius who was disguised as Wei Liang's plaster-like sculpture quality...
Speaking of which, the little genius at that time should also be a "nocturnal species", right?
Although Xu Shunkang did not talk about that state, Lin Yi guessed it, because Xu Shunkang had an original saying: "Once they violate the rules, what awaits them is death, and things more terrifying than death." 】
The so-called "things more terrifying than death" may be the case of little geniuses.
Dead, but not completely dead, I don’t know what kind of torture I will suffer.
"Is this Li Huiyuan also a fake?"
When this idea came to Lin Yi's mind, he was also shocked, thinking, could it be that I am also starting to get crazy?
But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but have this idea. After all, there are nocturnal species pretending to be Wei Liang and Li Huiyuan, "Jade and jade first", what if Qi Qi encounters them again now?
But he soon discovered that this was not the case. This Li Huiyuan was real, because... Li Huiyuan was really shaking him!
I saw Li Huiyuan pressing his shoulders with both hands, shaking him so violently that he was like a hugging bear, as if he was doing bench presses in the gym, and he was also shaken a little...
Looking at Li Huiyuan's increasingly violent shaking methods, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel that she had some personal grudges in it...
"Could it be true that I almost shook her brain to pieces before... I was really that strong back then?" Lin Yi couldn't help but feel guilty. In order to save Li Huiyuan, he really didn't care much.
I just remember calling her name at the same time. Seeing that she didn't wake up, I kept increasing the intensity... In the end, I really don't know how much strength I used, but the effect was at least good.
But at this moment, he discovered another problem...
The person Li Huiyuan was shaking was him, but - it was not "him" now.
He could see himself and Li Huiyuan at the same time, and he could clearly see that the ground under their feet was a normal teaching building, not the distorted texture of his current floor tiles.
There was only one step away between him and "them", as close as if there was a layer of gauze...
Lin Yi gently approached himself behind the gauze. As soon as he took a step forward, the environment around him began to collapse and change, just like a huge machine that wrapped him suddenly deconstructed its surroundings and began to withdraw from his side...
He found that the dim environment around him began to quickly pull away from the ground under his feet, the ground above his head, and the pillars around him like creeping liquid, and then quickly moved away from him. At the same time, the originally twisted corridor bridge and abstract teaching building also began to gradually return to the normal state that "should be".
His steps finally froze in place after taking half a step.
Looking at himself behind the gauze and Li Huiyuan who was shaking him, two thoughts came to his mind.
Go back immediately, or not just yet?
These two very different thoughts were like two martial arts masters standing on the top of a mountain, facing each other, and then began to fight to the death, forming a terrible thinking storm in his mind.
He felt he could go back at any time.
But he felt that his current layer was very stable...
It was very stable in another layer that he didn’t know how to do but seemed to exist completely dependent on his own imagination.
It's like...entering into your own painting.
No, it’s not right to call it a painting.
It was more like... more like playing "Minecraft". He imported the area of the teaching building that he had explored in his mind, and then acted as an editor and arbitrarily distorted the "module" of this area according to his own subjective consciousness, so that it was edited into what he wanted.
Now, he is like an editor patrolling this "new teaching building" in "Minecraft".
That layer of gauze is like a switch to exit this world. When he passes through, he will return to "reality".
"So... I don't have that sense of discomfort and weirdness about this "world" after the layer falls, because I am the creator of this "layer"?!"
Four words came to his mind: "Daytime fantasy."
This is a chapter he saw in a certain vampire comic before. It probably tells the story of the vampire patriarch, Last, who tried to use his own powers to create a "daytime" so that his "daughter" could move in the sun...
And now he is almost imagining a teaching building? !
Finally, he retracted his outgoing foot and slowly placed it on the ground.
With just one operation, the "environment" that had faded away like a tide immediately came back, and the covered bridge that had recovered from the distortion was also re-distorted into that abstract appearance...
