Chapter 169 The Disturbing Street Lamp Pole (600 words added)
Probably because his cognition has reached this level, Lin Yi, who was leaning against the street lamp pole, had vaguely sensed their presence. These dirty things moved obediently in the darkness, only daring to linger in the darkness, like a school of fish looking up at the blue sky but not daring to approach the water, but it The inexplicable greed and desire in their eyes is far greater than the fear...
They are afraid of the lights, they are close to the lights, they wander in the fog, constantly driving away the fog, eating away at the power of the lights...
Lin Yi looked at the area that had been submerged in fog at the boundary between light and darkness, and saw that part of the cobblestone road had been distorted by the influence of the layers.
In the mist, there seemed to be an invisible pressure slowly exerting on him.
He didn't know if other experiencers were encountering any difficulties now, but it was obvious that the abnormal weather this time was far from being as simple as imagined.
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock..."
Time passed by, Lin Yi breathed while staring closely at the quartz watch on his wrist.
20：59：02……30……50……
20：59：57、20：59：58、20：59：59……
21:00:00! !
"Time's up!" Lin Yi suddenly raised his head, scanning the surroundings with a sharp gaze like an eagle, but the light in his eyes quickly extinguished.
"I didn't see the security guard... I really didn't see it."
Although he had been prepared in his heart, when the thing actually happened, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.
"Damn! There are really no security guards!" Wei Liang hammered the ground hard, and then was stung by the cobblestones. He twisted his mouth and bared his teeth and screamed, "Oh, shit, it hurts a little..."
He rubbed his fists while carefully looking around: "Old Lin, run?"
"I can only run." Lin Yi looked solemn.
The fog has suppressed the scope of the lights, and countless humanoid sculptures are already staring at them in the darkness. Once the light of the street lights dims, he cannot guarantee that everyone will maintain this sense of "respect and hospitality".
However, when the two stood up slowly holding on to the street light pole, looking for the next street lamp, Wei Liang's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no!" Yi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stared ahead. It was better not to look. When he looked, he really found that the cobblestone road ahead was twisting and stretching in an unnatural state...
The street lamps scattered on the cobblestone road began to float left and right like buoys floating on the sea.
Lin Yi held on to the lamppost and took a few deep breaths, and then looked ahead carefully. At this moment, the twisting feeling of the cobblestone road disappeared again, but the streetlight pole actually drifted a certain distance...
"Oh, the situation is not good..."
He supported Wei Liang and said in a deep voice: "Just like yesterday, you put your hand on my shoulder and I will take you back to the dormitory!"
"Old Lin, are you okay? I think I can hold on for a while..." Wei Liang gritted his teeth and said seriously.
Lin Yi glanced at him and scolded in a low voice: "You hold up the hammer and leave it to me! I was able to go back to the dormitory building yesterday, so I can do it today!"
He didn't care what Wei Liang wanted to say, grabbed Wei Liang's hand and put it on his shoulder: "Hold it well, trust me."
"Okay..." Wei Liang did not hesitate, nodded, and finally added, "If it doesn't work, just call me. I have a few tricks, maybe they will help..."
Lin Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Damn, there is such a thing. Why don't you tell me your trump card earlier? In fact, I can't do it now. How about you show off your power and show off the "Mighty Heavenly Dragon World Honored Ksitigarbha" and I will applaud you from the side? "
"Old Lin, I just heard someone barking." Wei Liang said seriously.
"Ryoko, are you taking advantage of me now?"
"We are each other's adoptive fathers, why do we care about trivial details?"
"If I hadn't seen you watching H comics with my own eyes, I would have thought you were watching Hot-Blooded Brothers comics!" Fight! Don’t worry about those details! 」

It's just that Wei Liang didn't see Lin Yi's increasingly pale and ugly face.
Just when Lin Yi grabbed Wei Liang's hand and put it on his shoulder, he felt that Wei Liang's hand was terribly cold. The temperature was like picking up a brick placed in ice water and carrying it on his shoulder.
However, when he saw Wei Liang, he didn't show anything unusual, as if he had even been deceived.
Such a scene immediately reminded him of the scene after Bigan was disemboweled in The Romance of the Gods. Bigan, who was walking home, asked the vegetable seller if he had no heart to live, what would happen if he had no heart? The vegetable seller said that of course one will die if one is careless, so Bigan died on the spot.
As for Wei Liang's current state, Lin Yi felt that he was similar to Bigan. He couldn't remind Wei Liang that something had happened. Wei Liang could only maintain his current understanding of himself, stuck himself in this stage like a slice of time, and then pull himself back when it was safe.
But Lin Yi simply couldn't understand the logic behind Wei Liang's actions, and he couldn't ask yet, for fear that asking would break Wei Liang's weird state.
There are a total of 96 street light poles in the dormitory area. Even if he walked nine more lamp poles, he would be able to reach the front of the dormitory building. However, Lin Yi did not relax at all. In the final analysis, it was because he had no idea about the distance to campus in abnormal weather.
And based on his last experience of walking through the fog, as long as he didn't reach the "dormitory building-096" street light pole, it was impossible to see the dormitory building no matter how close it was.
…
Under the thick fog, the two figures were slowly moving forward with the help of dim street lights, like hunters walking in the snowfield with the snow above their heads.
While walking, Lin Yi began to realize that something was wrong.
He found that the cobblestone road under his feet gradually lost its rounded geometric shape and began to become soft and waxy, like bubbles rising from the mud, losing the hardness it should have.
He looked down at his feet and saw that the cobblestone road still existed in his "vision", but judging from the tactile feedback from the soles of his feet, it was simply a soft road. His feet would even feel a little staggering and slippery when he stepped on it.
"The falling layers are affecting my cognition, but because I firmly believe that I am still on the cobblestone road, what I "see" is still what I believe, but what I "feel" is the "real road now" after the layers have fallen!"
Suddenly, a gleam flashed across Lin Yi's eyes, and the hairs on his arms stood up instantly. He clearly felt something...
That feeling, it seemed like...thick fog? !
He suddenly found that the thick fog had come to him at some point, like a shaken sheet slowly falling down, about to cover him, and outside the thick fog, countless humanoid sculptures swarmed in, seemingly waiting for the moment he was swallowed by the thick fog!
r/> "Layers!"
"I... am stuck between two layers?!"
He is now like a drowning person, maybe his chest is still struggling on the water, but the rest has fallen into the water.
The water surface is the boundary between the layers. Once he sinks completely, he will be swallowed by the piranhas under the water, not even the bones and dregs will be left!
"What I "see" is the water surface and things under the water surface, but what I touch is already the things under the water surface... I must paddle to the street light in front before sinking!"
Lin Yi had to use analogies to weaken the impact of the layers. Even if he imagined that he was swimming or traveling through the mud, it would be better than acknowledging that he was walking with a group of humanoid sculptures with a huge appetite for his own flesh and blood.
His eyes were fixed on the dimly lit street light pole in front of him. He led Wei Liang to struggle under the street light, and then looked up at the street light pole.
「dormitory building-090」.
"He mlgb...jumped over two lampposts, no wonder it looks so far away!"
He adjusted his breath briefly, and then glanced at the time.
21:06.
Three lampposts, six minutes, this speed is much slower than he expected...
The lights in the dormitory corridor started to turn off at 22:00, and it was completely dark until 22:20, but the real time for them to return to the dormitory was before 22:00.
There are six street light poles...
There are also dormitory corridors...
It seems like a short journey, but it is as serious as two battles. Lin Yi even starts to worry that the remaining 54 minutes will not be enough for them to finish these two battles.
He took a deep breath and led Wei Liang into the fog. He continued to "swim" in the fog as hard as a dog crawling, gradually closing the distance to the dormitory building.
…
While Lin Yi was walking through the mist, he told himself repeatedly in his heart, "I am Lin Yi, my student number is
At 21:09, Lin Yi stretched out his hand to push aside the thick fog in front of him and saw clearly the dimly lit street light pole ahead.
「dormitory building-092」.
At first glance, there was nothing wrong with the straight street light pole with orange light. There was also a street light number written in white paint on the light pole. However, Lin Yi always felt an indescribable weirdness after taking a look at it.
He couldn't tell for a while whether it was because he had been "dog crawling" in the fog for a long time and his mind became crazy, or because he doubted the safety of the street light pole, or because there were some changes in the street light pole that he didn't know about.
But he didn't think too much. Wei Liang's cold hands were already a little blue and were gradually turning into the same bluish-gray state before. He had to accept the light of the street lamp and take a breath before he could continue to move forward.
There is not much time left for him.
Hence, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and led Wei Liang to the "dormitory building-092" street light pole.
When he broke through the thick fog and entered the light range of the street lamp pole, the already strong discomfort in his heart became more intense. It hit his heart like the violently rolling lava before a volcanic eruption, and his heart started beating loudly.
An incomprehensible and unpredictable sense of crisis seemed to envelope him like a net from the void, leaving him feeling confused and overwhelmed.
「What’s going on?」
"What's going on with this strong sense of crisis?"
He looked around carefully, but couldn't find anything strange at all. The street lamps standing on the cobblestone road, emitting orange light, didn't they represent a safe state in the thick fog?
He still has a student ID card and has not violated the rules. There is absolutely no way that the security status will fail. So where does the crisis come from? !
Lin Yi was running around anxiously, and the instinct in his heart urged him to escape immediately, but he had not yet found the location of the next street lamp pole, and Wei Liang's body had not recovered enough body temperature under the street lamp!
Having no direction and rushing out of the light range is really a life-threatening situation.
However, the sense of crisis was not weakened at all because Lin Yi did not leave the range of the street lamp. Lin Yi, who was leaning against the street lamp pole, felt more and more strange. The shadows on his body seemed to be crawling with thousands of ants, which made him restless.
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Yi had no way of knowing whether this feeling of something wrong came from the psychological hints given to him by the surrounding environment, or whether his cognition had begun to show cracks and was being quietly contaminated by the falling layer.
He felt that he was a little unable to distinguish "right from wrong", and he began to doubt whether the area he was in was really safe...
He felt the metallic texture coming from the cold street light pole, and felt the biting cold. Suddenly, he shivered violently.
"No! I was confused just now?"
"My will has slackened!"
The evening wind was bone-chilling, chilling Lin Yi's body and mind.
The traceless pollution was like boiling a frog in warm water, making him shudder.
He realized that he was being affected by the layer, just like a person who has been swimming for a long time, his skin will always become loose due to water soaking. No matter how determined he is, if he cannot land, then the only thing waiting for him is to drown after exhaustion.
· Street lights are beacons, but they are not the shore. Only the dormitory building is the shore!
He held on to the lamppost and kept panting, trying his best to keep his mind calm, or to maintain "what he thought was a very calm state", and then continued to look for the location of the next lamppost.
He glanced sideways at Wei Liang's hand. Under the light, Wei Liang's hand still remained pale and blue-gray in a cold state. The light could no longer warm it up, but it only allowed Wei Liang's body to remain in this state and not continue to deteriorate.
He slowly retracted his gaze - but when he retracted his gaze, he suddenly found that the cobblestone ground under his feet had disappeared at some point. Only wet and soft sand was left under his feet. The pebbles that should have been laid under his feet - no, at least the ground that looked like "pebbles" from the "vision" had completely disappeared!
He looked at the street lamp at hand again.
The street lamp was still there, and the light was still dim, but he finally noticed something. He stretched his neck and got close to the white paint on the surface of the street lamp pole, and touched it gently...
He immediately discovered that the numbers written in white paint had become much faded as if they had been ravaged by wind, frost, rain and snow for countless years. He looked up at the street lamp and found that the light bulbs in the lampshades had also become dimmer.
His pupils dilated slightly, as if he wanted to take in more light into his eyes.
But at this moment he discovered that the thing in the lampshade of the street lamp pole seemed not to be a light bulb, but... some kind of stone that exuded brilliance! !
The light was originally bright, coupled with the presence of the lampshade and some water mist, and the fact that Lin Yi had not carefully observed the streetlight bulb before, he subconsciously assumed that the bulb was the traditional pear-shaped glass body with a wick.
However, as the light faded, the shape of the light bulb gradually appeared in front of him.
