Chapter 156 Moths flying into the flame
“That’s not right... I didn’t have a student ID card when I first entered the school? Aren’t they following me anyway?”
h “So, the student ID card is not the root cause. So what is the root cause...? "
Lin Yi anchored his sight within the range of the streetlights, thinking in his mind as he moved forward, and while he was thinking, he also ignored the calls of the human sculptures behind him.
Finally, he took Li Huiyuan into the area covered by the light of the street lights.
He reached out and grabbed the lamppost. His body, which was originally as tight as a bow, slowly relaxed a little.
He leaned on the street light pole and looked at the human sculptures chasing his back, but all that was left in front of him was the overlapping white mist that rolled like water vapor. Just like on May 6, no figures could be seen at all.
Only the outlines of some human figures can be vaguely seen, lurking furtively in the mist, wandering, ready to move, but unable to move forward.
This is a very awkward state, exactly the opposite of Fang Tangjing's "I came in and I went out again, come and beat me up" look, but more like "I want to come in but don't dare to come in, can you come and give me a hand?".
Something is wrong, very wrong.
"They are driven away by the light disc player and attracted by the light, just like... moths to a flame?!"
The moment he thought of this, Lin Yi saw a picture in his mind as if he was a psychic, and as if a cultivator had gained enlightenment, a picture of countless moths flapping their wings and flying around a paper lantern emerged.
The paper lantern continued to enlarge, and then suddenly shattered, and even the fire in the lantern shattered into countless sparks.
These sparks swirled in the air, eventually extinguished and turned into fragments of ashes falling like snowflakes.
Ashes slowly fell, slowly fell... Lin Yi's attention followed, and then he saw a gray sky full of snowflakes. His attention followed the snowflakes falling, and he saw a rough black sea...
Huge waves rolled on the sea, breaking one after another on the rocks on the shore. In a rotten swamp mixed with silt and yellow sand near the coastline, twisted humanoid creatures covered in mud crawled out one after another, walking awkwardly and deformed. The shape-shaped bodies were running, crawling or squirming, not only moving forward, but also rushing to the bottom of a cliff...
They spread their limbs and clasped on the slippery rock wall covered with moss, trying to climb up, but the rock wall was too slippery and could not support their behavior at all.
But there were too many of them, crawling out like a swarm of insects from the dim area where it was unclear whether it was waves, swamps or yellow sand. Then, as if driven by instinct or some kind of crazy command, they swarmed to the root of the rock wall one after another, trampled on each other, and climbed up the rock wall desperately.
Finally, some units climbed up the rock wall. They made hoarse and dry roars, as if shouting some painful and mutually uplifting melodies. They crawled and crawled on the rock wall, like ants discovering fruits on rotten dead trees, scrambling to swarm. Going up...
In the dim sky, under the heavy snow, and on the side of the rushing ocean, a group of nocturnal species crawled on the cliff that was almost perpendicular to the horizon. Some units that were exhausted after rushing up fell feebly.
This scene was like...a moth flying into a flame, but it was so familiar that it made Lin Yi feel palpitations.
This picture...isn't this picture the scene he saw when he stood perpendicular to the cliff when his layer fell?
He vaguely remembered that the person standing on the cliff was the super being named "Night Watch" by the rules of the art department.
"Hoo, ho, ho..." Lin Yi panted slowly and glanced at Li Huiyuan beside him.
Li Huiyuan's face was also full of solemnity. She hesitated to speak several times, but finally asked: "What's wrong with you, Lin Yi? Your body temperature was very low just now, but you recovered immediately..."
"I...it's nothing. I had a little hallucination just now, but I'm fine now." Lin Yi shook his head slightly, not wanting to make Li Huiyuan more worried, but he suddenly realized something and his eyes fell on Li Huiyuan's feet.
"Your feet..."
Li Huiyuan's standing posture is a bit strange, and her right foot feels unnaturally stiff.
She pursed her lips: "After getting under the light, she lost consciousness again..."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment.
"It's okay, Lin Yi... I'll be fine once I get used to it."
..." Lin Yi took a few deep breaths and then glanced at his watch.
18:03.
"It's only been a minute or two. It seems that I was distracted for just a moment."
"Fortunately, I was under a streetlight..."
He propped himself up, looked around, and soon found the location of other street light poles in the fog.
The fog is already very thick, but it is still worse than on May 6. As soon as Lin Yi looked around, he saw several street light poles. The closest ones seemed to be about ten meters in front. The numbers on the street lamp poles could still be vaguely seen, while the farther ones looked like only a hazy little sun.
As he turned his attention to the street light pole, the originally blurry outline of the teaching building was completely submerged in the fog, and he could no longer find any shadow.
He didn't feel worried because he found the way back to the teaching building as long as he found the light pole.
He stared at the lamppost closest to him, trying to see clearly the vague number on the lamppost, but because the fog kept floating in the evening wind, he was unable to see it clearly.
While he squinted his eyes to observe carefully, Li Huiyuan beside him suddenly said: ""Teaching Building-106." "
"Huh?" Lin Yi glanced at Li Huiyuan in surprise, and suddenly found that Li Huiyuan's eyes had turned golden at some point.
It is a kind of golden luster that even colored contact lenses cannot show, like a pool of water reflecting the cold moonlight, with a touch of alienating temperament.
This golden touch quickly melted like ice and snow, and then Li Huiyuan was stunned for a moment. After realizing it, she said in a daze: "I wanted to see the number clearly just now, and then my sight was zoomed in like a telescope... It sounds incredible. , but I feel like I saw it right. "
"I believe you, let's go that way." Lin Yi said decisively, then supported Li Huiyuan and led her to "Lamp Pole-106" through the orange light field.
"Is the field of vision enlarged..." Lin Yi muttered in his heart.
He had been in a similar situation to Li Huiyuan before, but looking at it now, did his eyes also turn golden at that time?
"When you use some abilities that do not belong to normal people, will your eyes turn golden...?"
Lin Yi always thought that golden eyes were a manifestation of pollution, but now he may have guessed well. Being able to show golden eyes means that he has indeed encountered pollution, but he may have been in some special state at that time.
He thought of those inhuman classmates. When they were huddled in the rows of seats in the lecture theater, their eye color was normal, but when the lights in the classroom went out, their eyes turned golden, and then they began to hunt those experience students who fell off the level because they saw them.
· As the two walked, the surrounding fog also made a "rustling" sound. This was the humanoid sculptures moving following their figures. When Lin Yi knew what the things in the fog were and had a preliminary understanding of their action mechanisms, Lin Yi no longer felt afraid of them.
The unknown is fear.
The two of them came to the second lamppost without any danger. When they saw the lamppost number, it turned out to be "Teaching Building-106".
And in the direction where the street light pole "Teaching Building-106" continues forward, there is indeed a street light pole "Teaching Building-107", which shows that this road is indeed correct.
"Let's go, if nothing else happens, we will return to the teaching building soon." Lin Yi helped Li Huiyuan and continued to walk forward.
The corners of Li Huiyuan's mouth suddenly became deflated.
On May 8, 2023, at 18:12, Lin Yi supported Li Huiyuan and stopped in front of the street light pole "Teaching Building-108".
Looking at the steps of Building B of the teaching building in front of him, Lin Yi felt a little dreamlike and incredible about the success this time.
He raised his head and glanced at the teaching building.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
"Well, fuck, the eighth floor."
Lin Yi felt inexplicably calm, as if he was saying "I knew it", completely different from what he was on May 6.
"So the teaching building is indeed folded into four layers, which will be revealed when the layers fall."
At this moment, he noticed that Li Huiyuan's body was starting to get cold. He glanced sideways at her, and sure enough, he found that she was looking at the teaching building in front of her with her pupils contracted, with a look of shock on her face, as if she had seen something that subverted her cognition.
"Li Huiyuan." Lin Yi shook her, shaking her back from her dazed state.
"Lin Yi, this...?!" Li Huiyuan pointed at the teaching building and hesitated, but suddenly found that Lin Yi's expression was very calm, "You... knew it a long time ago?"
"That's why I wanted to explore the teaching building." Lin Yiping Jing said, "As you can see, the teaching building does only have four floors under normal circumstances, but when it is abnormal, the other floors will pop up under the glass corridor."
The concept of glass covered bridge, he thought, Li Huiyuan still remembered.
Li Huiyuan nodded as if she understood.
"Let's go."
The brilliance of "Teaching Building-108" stops before the steps, but during the journey after that, the corridor lights of Building B of the teaching building continue to illuminate it.
Lin Yi helped Li Huiyuan move forward slowly, pulled his feet out of the thick fog, and stepped on the steps of the teaching building.
Lin Yi had the habit of subconsciously looking at his feet when he went up the steps. When he lowered his head, he found that the mist, which was high enough to reach his knees, just covered part of the steps, like the kind of water vapor floating on a steamer.
Lin Yi suddenly thought of it, and an idea flashed in his mind. When he reached the corridor, he looked at the steps with the help of orange incandescent light.
The scene outside the teaching building gave him an unreal feeling. He saw the steps slowly extending downward from his feet, and then disappeared into the thick mist, just like the escalators in a swimming pool.
The sky in the distance has completely fallen under the thick fog. The moonlight is invisible, and the outline of the mountain is also invisible. It seems that only the building under his feet is left in the whole world.
The evening wind passed through the mountains, and the whole world was filled with mist. In addition, the only visible street lamps in the field of vision, except for the teaching building, were submerged in the foggy world. Lin Yi had a sense of chaos in a world full of chimneys that continuously emitted black smoke into the sky during the European Industrial Revolution.
This lonely teaching building is like an island built in the torrent of steel in a foggy world.
"This mist..."
Lin Yi leaned down and reached out to brush at the edge of the steps, pushing aside the nearby fog like water splashes.
"Sure enough!"
Sure enough, there was a piece of moss growing on the steps under the mist.
"The moss in the teaching building and canteen really grew after the fog filled the air!"
As the mist floated, Lin Yi seemed to hear the sound of water splashing in his ears. It was as if his palm had penetrated the mist, and really touched the non-existent water surface hidden under the mist... Lin Yi withdrew his hand as fast as lightning, looked at his fingertips, and found that there was nothing abnormal, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're back in the teaching building, we should be safe now." Lin Yi patted his chest gently and exhaled, "emmm... It's relatively safe."
Li Huiyuan looked back with some fear. The dense fog filled the air, and he said with palpitations: "They... won't chase after them, right?"
"No." Lin Yi shook his head, staring closely at the rolling fog, "They are afraid of the lights and will not dare to approach the teaching building until the lights of the teaching building are extinguished."
Li Huiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Before Lin Yi finished speaking, strange figures lingering in the dark fog slowly approached the teaching building in the area not covered by street lights, surrounding the entire teaching building like a dark zombie siege.
"Ah this..."
Lin Yi had an ominous premonition.
"Let's go, let's go! Damn, something is wrong, something is very wrong!" Lin Yi grabbed Li Huiyuan's hand, looked for the location of Class 2, Group B, and hurried over.
The three classrooms on the first floor of Building B of the teaching building are in the same corridor. With Lin Yi's current knowledge, it is easy to find Class 2 of Group B.
Not long after Lin Yi left with Li Huiyuan, the strange figures wandering in the fog became clearer and clearer...
Finally——
The mist surged.
A pure white sculptural foot broke through the fog like tearing a silicone soft membrane, and stepped heavily on the steps in front of the teaching building.
Thanks to the book friend "Wealth and Freedom Life" for the reward! !
