Chapter 138 "My World"
Lin Yi looked at the surrounding environment again. He even started to take steps towards the covered bridge, and then tried to reach out and gently touch the covered bridge in this world.
Feeling the rough gravel particles on the cement wall passing through his palms, Lin Yi began to be shocked by the real feedback of this imaginary world...
It was this moment that made him feel faintly tired.
"Feeling tired...?"
His vision suddenly became blurry, and the feeling of fatigue seemed to have worsened.
He seemed to understand something, and then suddenly rushed towards the covered bridge.
The ground of the twisted covered bridge was full of bumps and bumps. Within a few meters, Lin Yi almost fell due to bumps and bumps. Finally, he managed to enter the covered bridge with difficulty by holding on to the cement wall.
He lay on the covered bridge, resisting the call of exhaustion in his heart, stretched out his neck vigorously, and then glanced at the bottom of the covered bridge!
"Sure enough...!"
Lin Yi's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw that under the covered bridge was a world filled with white mist. The mountainous landforms and cobblestone roads that should have appeared were gone, and not even a trace of green forest belt could be seen!
The white mist did not spread upwards, but stayed at the bottom of the covered bridge and spread a little higher.
The line formed by the white mist coincides with the line after the moss has been straightened, and becomes the dividing line between the blank area and the moss area on the covered bridge.
Just when he looked at the white mist, the slightly surging white mist surged slowly like waves on the seaside, submerging the area in the middle and lower part of the covered bridge that was almost covered with moss.
At the same time, the cold feeling that had never occurred before began to permeate the white mist.
"This is not mountain fog!" Lin Yi reacted instantly, "This is 'pollution'! It is a white mist completely formed by the smell of pollution!"
In the surging white mist, there seems to be a certain rhythm of waves surging up the coastline, "wow-wow-wow-" as if there is an ocean hidden beneath it...
At the same time, a strong feeling of weakness began to well up in his heart, and a strong feeling of exhaustion seemed to penetrate his body.
"It's time to go! Let's go!"
It's incredible to say that when he firmly decided to "leave", he suddenly felt a sense of relief. He seemed to feel the weight of the whole world because of seeing the white mist and hearing the sound of the waves. His spine, which was almost crushed by this, suddenly straightened up.
He felt like a spirit body that "whooshed" along the rugged ground of the covered bridge for a few meters, and then passed through the layer of "gauze" and overlapped with the self in "reality"...
…
May 8, 2023, 14:50, building C, teaching building, entrance and exit of the covered bridge.
Lin Yi's eyes suddenly focused, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
As soon as he came back to his senses, he saw a piece of uniforms that were violently "DuangDuangDuang", as if there was suppressing some kind of magnificent beast...
But before he could recover, his whole body was shaken into a small boat in the storm, and he felt that his brain was also being shaken "DuangDuangDuang".
At the same time, Li Huiyuan's anxious call also sounded in his ears: "Classmate Lin! Wake up! Classmate Lin! Classmate Lin..."
Lin Yi hurriedly said: "I'm back, I'm back..."
Hearing Lin Yi's voice, Li Huiyuan let go of her hands with relief, and there seemed to be a little pearl floating in her eyes.
She was so anxious just now, thinking that if this still doesn't wake you up, I'll be knocked unconscious... Wake up, I'm going to wake you up, if you don't wake up, I'm going to wake you up...
Then just when she was about to make up her mind to give Lin Yi a big ear scrape against her will, Lin Yi woke up.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little worried, and asked worriedly: "Classmate Lin, are you okay?"
Lin Yi gasped and waved his hands: "It's not a big problem, I'm just a little tired..."
Lin Yi was very surprised, because the feeling of fatigue followed him back, but it did not affect his body, but affected his mind...or, in other words, his feeling.
He felt that he was a little exhausted now, as if he had been studying a math problem for a long time and got it wrong. It was obviously not physically exhausted, but it just felt like it was very mentally or mentally draining.
Lin Yi guessed that this kind of mental consumption was because he not only had to conceive of a teaching building, but also needed to twist it into another shape and maintain it... This kind of mental consumption was a great devastation to his mental strength.
Just like keeping a server running, he used his brain to open "Minecraft". Originally it was just a mosaic version, and it was enough to look at the whole thing. But when he walked to the covered bridge and began to feel the real details in the world, his brain suddenly consumed more money in order to really create that sense of reality.
Hence, it caused a rapid consumption of his energy, as if his energy was being drained away by a water pump, resulting in a strong sense of exhaustion.
But it’s all worth it.
Because he glanced at the fog at the last moment.
This is something beyond his imagination, a picture that he could not imagine at all... something that seems to have invaded his "daydream of fantasy"!
A... virus!
"'Pollution'..." Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and guessed, "The pollution I received seems to have penetrated into the world I imagined..."
"That kind of white mist filled under the covered bridge, like the boundary of a world!"
One side is the imaginary world, the other is the polluted world...
"No... …It’s not such a sense of demarcation, it’s more like the boundary between reality and fantasy!”
Lin Yi was thoughtful, vaguely feeling that this imaginary world has a lot to do with it, and he even had a counter-logical speculation - could he have been attracted by the "abnormal environment of the campus" again, and thus had a fantasy day in which he "thought he was in charge", but was actually guided by the "weird environment"?
Just like the thoughts he had on the night of May 6, the vague sense of boundaries made it difficult for him to distinguish between active and passive.
Is this also the case now?
It's just... he thinks he is proactive?
Although he is completely different from the person he was on May 6th,... the pollution is also gradual!
As Lin Yi grows, the pollution in his body may increase even more and become less noticeable!
Otherwise, why can he see the boundaries of the world and feel the existence of waves in the world of fantasy daytime?
It must be because those scary, dangerous, dark, weird...all the indescribable things are hidden under the white mist and lurking under the covered bridge!
And he... under the care and guidance of Pollution, completed a fantasy that did not feel any dangerous atmosphere?
In the daytime of fantasy, the real danger is not from fantasy, but from the peek into the real world hidden behind the fantasy world!
Lin Yi realized this, but once the idea came out, it was difficult to understand logically. It was like several mutually contradictory laws suddenly entangled together, forming a paradoxical cycle...
Lin Yi didn’t dare to think about it anymore. Thinking about this aspect was now like a ball of wool that had been played with by a cat. It looked like it had threads, but in fact it was already a mess inside. If you pulled the threads out without thinking, you would only get tangled in it.
Xu Shunkang's reminder played a vital role at this moment - you can walk by the river, and you can get your shoes wet, but remember to control your speed, and you will be really doomed if you fall into the river.
Lin Yi has already felt the logical problem here. The logic is contradictory and cannot be self-consistent, but it can be self-proven when taken separately... It is too confusing. The problem here must be beyond the scope for him at present.
"Let's keep it until we return to the dormitory in the evening and discuss it with Mr. Tian..."
Lin Yi made up his mind and buried everything he saw and heard in his heart.
He glanced at his watch.
14:52.
"It's almost three o'clock, wait for me to take a rest, and then we will go to the 'next stop'." Lin Yi squatted on the spot and rested with his back against a pillar. "I don't want to waste time, just rest for three minutes to let me relax."
Li Huiyuan pursed her lips and nodded.
"By the way, when you shook me just now, did you feel any problem with my body like a drop in body temperature?" Lin Yi suddenly asked.
“No.” Li Huiyuan shook her head.
Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little calmer in his heart.
But Li Huiyuan's expression was a bit unnatural. After hesitating for a moment, she actually said the two words that Lin Yi didn't want to hear: "But..."
"But what?" Lin Yi's heart was pounding like a train.
"But when I shook you, I seemed to see smoke coming from your body..." Li Huiyuan blinked.
Lin Yi sighed faintly: "Hey, I'm used to it, do you still feel anything?"
Li Huiyuan thought seriously for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "It seems like it's gone."
"Huh..." Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be fine if it didn't happen.
"So this means that all the changes that just happened are within the scope of the "symptoms" that I usually experience. As for the emergence of fog... it is worth paying attention to."
Although, judging from the depth of his pollution, it is normal to have some fog, but he did not seem to have this problem before.
He continued to rest, and the two of them fell silent and stopped talking.
Lin Yi kept his squatting posture and leaned against the pillar, raised his head and rested the back of his head on the surface of the pillar, slowly regaining his mental strength.
Suddenly he frowned and then narrowed his eyes.
In a dark corner of the ceiling, he seemed to see a writhing black shadow...
"The nocturnal species?" He was stunned, and then immediately reached out and rubbed his eyes, trying to pretend to cover up the fact by rubbing his eyes before the nocturnal species found out that he was looking at it.
But he obviously failed.
The nocturnal creature was stuck in the corner of the wall like a puddle of rotten meat, and in the twisted lines that were beginning to take shape of the human face, a big bloodshot eyeball was seen.
This big eyeball was spinning, and before Lin Yi noticed it, it was already staring at Lin Yi!
"Fuck!"
Lin Yi cursed in his heart, "Okay, okay, you're starting to peek at me unscrupulously, right?"
Okay, okay, since you’re playing like this, don’t blame me for flipping the table!
The mirror is coming!
"Li Huiyuan, lend me the mirror." He stood up slowly, with a trough in his chest, and stretched out his hand to Li Huiyuan, quite like a master raising his hand to borrow a sword and whispering about it.
Li Huiyuan hurriedly fumbled around in her pleated skirt, then took out the mirror and handed it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi took the mirror and put it under the sun. After opening the cover, he directly adjusted the angle of his hand. A ray of sunlight immediately penetrated the dark corner like a sharp blade and struck the big eyeball hard!
【Ah——】
Lin Yi seemed to hear a scream, and then the big eyeballs fell from the nocturnal species with a grunt, giving people the feeling of a lizard cutting off its tail to survive.
After the big eyeball fell to the ground, it first smashed into an exploding omelette, then sizzled with white mist in the sun, and then hardened into a plaster-like substance not long after.
Li Huiyuan was shocked when she saw this scene, but Lin Yi looked as usual and continued to shine a light on the nocturnal species hiding in the corner.
He has not yet thought about why he is being targeted by the nocturnal species, but since the other party is targeting him, it is a situation that will not stop him. If he does not take advantage of the broad daylight to take a preemptive strike, and wait until night comes when this thing becomes an inhuman classmate and then seeks out the enemy from the void, then he will be really in danger.
ifies by squirming continuously, as if it has lost some kind of pulse frequency fluctuation, and its slimy state has become more and more unstable.
Lin Yi heard its voice, but turned a deaf ear and continued to coolly roast its body with the sun, causing it to "sizzle" with white mist, like a piece of beef belly that was getting more and more cooked on the baking sheet.
【Ah——ah——】
The nocturnal species roared in pain, but as its body hardened, it gradually lost its ability to be adsorbed in the corners of the ceiling. It began to fall like plasticine under the influence of gravity, and then separated from the ceiling bit by bit, and finally turned into a large piece of solid-liquid mixed material, which fell down with a "slam".
The corridor was filled with sunlight, so when it fell, Lin Yi put away the mirror and watched its changes under the sun with cold eyes.
