Chapter 170 "Monkey Stepping on a Stick to View the Sea" (3000 words added!)
It was a solid sphere. With Lin Yi's naked eyes, he couldn't tell whether it was pure white or off-white, or even any other color. He couldn't determine what its material was. He could only tell from his first impression that it was probably a kind of stone.
On the stone, there are several concentric circles carved, which look like eagle eyes, and in the center of the eagle eyes, there seems to be some kind of symbol that looks like it is cast with hot gold.
And what really shines brightly is actually such a stone.
"Is this a "light bulb"?!"
Lin Yi took a breath, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he seemed to have some huge misunderstanding about the street lights in this campus.
"Are all the lights in the campus brought by this magical stone?"
"Wait a minute!!" Lin Yi's pupils trembled instantly, "That's why conventional lighting equipment cannot achieve the effect of driving away inhuman classmates!"
The little genius's flashlight had no effect after the classroom lights were turned off. It was not the light that could be used to drive away the inhuman classmates, but the "light" emitted by this magical stone?
dedication] Speaking of lights...?
Lin Yi subconsciously thought of the stone bridge leading from the observatory to the castle. There were candles like shrines on the piers of the stone bridge. The candles... seemed to be of the same nature as this magical stone?
There are also old kerosene lamps!
"Hiss..." Lin Yi secretly took a breath, and instantly thought of four words, "Extraordinary characteristics."
The radiance emitted by objects with extraordinary characteristics is the key to driving away inhuman classmates!
"The energy that supports the glow of some facilities on campus is not "electricity", but something with extraordinary properties!"
"This makes sense!"
"Otherwise, how can we lay circuits to overcome the effects of layer distortion and deliver "power" to the entire campus?"
"Because the street lights do not use electricity at all, but special energy!"
Maybe it is a reactor like Iron Man, or some kind of special energy source, but no matter what it is, it is unlikely to be a power grid!
The moment he thought of this scene, Lin Yi felt as if an invisible shackles had been opened in his thinking, and his "cognition" seemed to have touched a brand new field.
But before he had time to think about this scene, the streetlight suddenly flickered like a blink of an eye...
Just this flash of light made the uneasy feeling violently surge in Lin Yi's heart.
"Holy shit, even the street lights can flash?!"
"How many unstable places are there on campus?"
h "Wait a minute..."
Lin Yi squinted his eyes and glanced at the fog not far away with a sense of uneasiness. He didn't know if it was an illusion or something. He felt that the outline of the human sculpture in the fog seemed to be clearer, and there was a strange tendency to break through the fog and rush in...
And at the moment when he hesitated, the light of the street lamp flickered again.
This flash lasted for half a second. When the lights came back on, three ferocious-looking humanoid sculptures suddenly appeared in front of him!
Lin Yi's pupils shrank violently, and he subconsciously took half a step back. But something suddenly occurred to him. When he turned around, he saw several humanoid sculptures three places behind him!
These humanoid sculptures remained completely still under the light, but maintained a posture of attacking with claws and teeth, only a few bodies away from Lin Yi and Wei Liang!
When they were illuminated by the light, white mist rose up from their bodies. However, unlike the human sculptures that transformed into their non-human classmates, these sculptures did not seem to have the ability to transform. As the mist erupted from their bodies, their bodies began to harden, and their texture became closer to a pure white plaster-like substance.
Compared with the process of "humanoid sculptures transforming into non-human classmates", what happens to them is more like "nocturnal species being dried in the sun and turned into smelly clay sculptures"!
Without having time to think about the difference, Lin Yi felt the urge to kick them back into the mist. However, his reason suppressed his impulse and told him that the light was highly poisonous to them, and the mist was what restored their strength.
"Not only can't you move them, but you have to keep them illuminated by the light!"
Lin Yi was startled by the human sculptures, and he broke into cold sweat on his back, but it has to be said that the more times like this, the faster his emergency thinking runs.
It's just that he also realized a problem. These two consecutive lights showed an extremely serious problem - "The light is failing!"
What he didn’t notice was that the white paint number on the street lamp pole also continued to fade as the light dimmed...
At this moment, the light and shadow in the light bulb suddenly shook. It started dragging...
"What the fuck! Here we go again?!"
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze swept across the human sculptures in the mist like a sharp sword, and then he took a deep breath.
The lights went out instantly!
After a full second, the lights came back on!
When the lights were on, what was captured under the streetlights was an extremely strange scene -
Thirteen humanoid sculptures surrounded the streetlights from all directions, almost occupying the limited lighting area of the streetlights.
They are frozen in various movements, some are almost crawling on the ground like humanoid beasts, and some have already come under the streetlight, raising their arms high and holding the posture of strangling people's throats, their faces are ferocious and terrifying, as if they were made by a sculpture artist full of revenge and psychological distortion.
No matter from which angle they invade the street light, they all point to the street light, and the position pointed by the hand of each sculpture is the lampshade of the street light!
Are their targets light bulbs?
No, it's Lin Yi and Wei Liang.
Because in this almost frozen picture, there is another more abstract picture than the thirteen humanoid sculptures besieging the street light pole - Lin Yi carried Wei Liang on his back and climbed onto the street light pole. One hand used the sheet to steady Wei Liang's body, and the other hand tightly framed the pole of the street lamp. His left foot stepped on the protruding teeth of the base of the street lamp pole, and his right foot stepped directly on the forehead of an unlucky humanoid sculpture...
But looking at the trinity of Lin Yi, Wei Liang, and the street lamp pole, they look like an abstract "Monkey Stepping on a Stick and Viewing the Sea". If you add the thirteen human sculptures below, it suddenly becomes full of the color of Western cult art.
Not only is it abstract, but it also takes away your brain.
Lin Yi also failed to react. No, was it me who typed this operation? !
It is simply a little more sultry than uncanny skills!
Especially the kick that "borrowed" force on the face of the human sculpture in the face of danger, it was quite like the boss stepping on him into the swimming pool!
To be honest, he keenly captured the movement trends of those humanoid sculptures at the moment when the street lights went out, simulated their attack trajectories in his mind, and calculated some escape routes, but at the last moment he saw those figures that were about to move in the mist, and overturned all routes at once, choosing this operation that seemed the most dangerous and most outrageous.
One thing that even he himself was not aware of was that at this moment, his eyes were shining brightly, astonishing the world like the blazing sun.
It was at this moment that he "climbed high" and used his burning golden eyes to discern his direction in the vast darkness, and saw a large number of street light poles emitting sporadic afterglow!
「I saw it!」
“I saw it all!”
The sight that was originally blocked by the thick fog suddenly became much clearer. He felt that his eyes seemed to have a kind of night vision ability at this moment. To be honest, this kind of vision was similar to the quality of his previous uncontrollable black and white exposure, but it was even more powerful than that effect. It was like an enhanced version of black and white vision.
In this vision, he saw a twisting and empty road. This road wriggled slowly like a snake, sending out ripple-like fluctuations around it from time to time. And at the key nodes of the "snake", there were street lamps one after another.
The end point of the "snake" seemed to be stared at something. Needless to say, Lin Yi also knew that that place was the location of the dormitory building!
He quickly counted and found that there were indeed only four street lights in front of him, and the fourth one was the first street light pole in front of the dormitory building - "dormitory building-096"!
But he also discovered a problem, that is, in front of the street light poles in "dormitory building-094" and "dormitory building-095", there were inhuman classmates who kept facing the wall!
Lin Yi knows that these inhuman classmates are definitely not simply facing the wall. The dimming of the street lights is basically related to them, but there is no time to think so much now. The most important thing is to return to the dormitory building first!
"Old Lin... let's go... go quickly..." Lin Yi seemed to hear Wei Liang's weak voice, but he was sure that Wei Liang could not speak at this time.
Feeling Wei Liang's increasingly cold palm, Lin Yi gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, and said in his heart: "We have to leave right away!"
He had to go, the street lights would go out at any time, and the human sculptures would move again at any time, leaving him little time!
He held his breath and looked far into the distance, looking past the several lampposts in the middle. He simply deduced the twisting trajectory of this "snake"-shaped route in his mind, and finally locked on the "dormitory building-096" lamppost!
The trajectory is worth watching, but the only thing that is truly believable is the unchanging end point.
He took a deep breath, glanced at the time, then carried Wei Liang on his back, used the solidified human sculptures as steps, stepped on them and fell to the ground, and then rushed straight towards the "dormitory building-096" street light pole.
On May 8, 2023, at 21:13, the fog gradually turned into a gray dormitory area.
Lin Yi carried Wei Liang on his back and rushed into the gray fog. The thick fog blocked the light like a quilt, ruthlessly covering Lin Yi's figure.
Not long after he left the "dormitory building-092" street light pole, the street light number written in white paint completely faded and disappeared. Following that, the light bulb in the lampshade was completely extinguished, turning into a round stone ball with some concentric circles.
When Lin Yi entered the thick fog, countless nocturnal species and humanoid sculptures began to move in the darkness. Inhuman units from far and near all began to surround him, just like a large group of ghouls that had captured the breath of strangers and swarmed towards him.
Lin Yi could naturally hear such a sound, but he no longer cared about it so much. He was now racing against the death-like human sculpture.
One humanoid sculpture is not scary, but what about ten, a hundred, or more?
There are humanoid sculptures all over the mountains and plains, which can crush people to death!
Lin Yi maintained rhythmic breathing and pace, running on a ground that could not tell whether it was a cobblestone road or some kind of soft sand. He didn't know where he got the strength to be able to carry Wei Liang, who was about the same weight as him, with flying speed.
You must know that a person who is almost unconscious will not adjust his center of gravity, so carrying it is not as easy as what is shown on TV, not to mention that people on TV are always carrying some pretty little public things, and in terms of the plot, they just run away and get to a certain place. In the ruined temple on the barren mountain, a fire was set up, the camera showed the scene of drying clothes, and then there were actually some healing sequences that injected hundreds of millions of skills that needed to be paid to unlock, so when people ran, they were full of passion and motivation.
They are completely different from him now, okay!
Lin Yi is not sprinting in a straight line towards the "dormitory building-096" street light pole. Instead, based on the deduction in his mind, he is running as close as possible to the twisting and undulating route of "dormitory building-093", "dormitory building-094", and "dormitory building-095" in the darkness.
In this way, even though the lights of those street lamp poles were shaky, he could catch the afterglow of those lamp poles and relieve the pressure a little.
This time, it only took him 25 seconds to rush to the light of the "dormitory building-093" street light pole. When he arrived under the street light, the inhuman units that were surrounding him quickly dispersed in all directions, and no one dared to follow him close to the illuminated area.
Even though the light of this street lamp looks extremely dim.
「dormitory building-093」There was no inhuman classmate facing the wall in front of the street light pole. Lin Yi and Wei Liang took a few breaths, and then continued to sprint.
As soon as he left the area illuminated by the lights, those units that did not dare to approach the inhumans surrounded him again.
Under the darkness and gray fog, these inhuman units seemed to form a ripple in huge numbers.
It was like someone stretched his hand into the pile of soybeans and pushed forward. Lin Yi, who was carrying Wei Liang on his back, was like that hand, and the ripples formed by the non-human unit were the wrinkle-like ripples caused by the palm pushing the soybeans. They seemed to have surrounded Lin Yi, but they never had the chance to take the last step to completely close the circle before the encirclement.
Thirty seconds later, the "dormitory building-094" street light pole finally appeared in front of Lin Yi.
The few inhuman classmates who were facing the wall seemed to have sensed something. They slowly turned around like puppets on a turntable, and then stood silently, their eyes falling on Lin Yi from afar, with an abstract expression on their cold faces that said "I want you to feel that I am nervous and scared."
"Classmate...classmate! Come quickly! Come here quickly!" One of the inhuman classmates waved and shouted to Lin Yi and the others.
Lin Yiyi seemed to have not heard its call. He gritted his teeth and continued sprinting. After a few seconds, he broke through the fog and entered the light range of the "dormitory building-094" street light pole.
He knew that the other party was deliberately luring him over, but there was no way. He really needed these few breathers and the little gap to bathe in the light.
Even though the light at this time could no longer make him feel warm at all, when he was a little tired and came under the light, he could still feel like he was being recharged.
This feeling is not obvious at ordinary times, but when he is tired to a certain extent, it becomes clear.
"Classmates, are you okay?" An inhuman classmate expressed concern, and several other inhuman classmates slowly approached them, vaguely surrounding the two of them.
"It's not safe over there, come over to the lamppost." Another inhuman classmate wanted to go over and help Lin Yi.
Lin Yi grasped the sheets with one hand to steady Wei Liang, and supported his knees with the other hand. He stared at the ground to slow down like a person who had run for several kilometers with a heavy load, completely ignoring the intentions of these inhuman classmates.
Obviously they were almost coming to him, but he seemed to be still immersed in a human world.
21:15:43, the non-human classmate was only two bodies away from Lin Yi.
21:15:48, recently, the toes of the inhuman classmate had appeared in Lin Yi's field of vision.
"Classmate, come here." The inhuman classmate slowly stretched out his hand towards Lin Yi.
"Hey..." Lin Yi let out a long sigh, stood up on his knees, and slowly released the hand that was gripping the sheets, as if he was reaching out to reach an inhuman classmate's hand.
"That's right, that's it..." The corners of the inhuman classmate's mouth slowly opened, and soon it was about to crack from the normal arc, and turned into that weird smile that stretched from ear to ear, and the sound coming out of its mouth became more and more confusing, from dry and hoarse to gentle and peaceful, as if it could soothe people's hearts.
<
Seeing Lin Yi's hand slowly raised, the inhuman classmate couldn't help but reveal himself It showed a successful smile: "Come on... come on..."
It tried to grab Lin Yi's hand, but at this moment, Lin Yi grabbed the sheet, pulled it off violently, and threw it towards the inhuman classmate in front of him.
Inhuman classmate: "Huh?"
It was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, a fist hit it hard on the face through two layers of sheets!
It stood up from the ground with stars in its eyes, its slightly deformed head covered with question marks, like a stupid Buddha.
In front of it, Lin Yi swung his arms and rolled up the sheet, like a child wrapping clothes around his arms as boxing gloves, forming a somewhat large trap. He picked up the rest and threw it behind his back, just covering Wei Liang.
"So Wei Shan feels so good?" Lin Yi looked at the sheet wrapped around his hand. There was some ketchup on the sheet, but let alone the punch, it was a bit satisfying.
Lin Yi felt that his feet were a little itchy, and he subconsciously wanted to take small steps and jump around, and his neck also wanted to shake.
Although the other person has not moved yet, an illusory little person seems to have jumped out of his little head. The little person is shaking his head and jumping around like a boxer doing warm-up exercises. He looks very unbeatable, but coupled with the expression on Lin Yi's face that vaguely opens the door to a new world, it becomes very interesting.
Lin Yi can't deal with the inhuman classmate now. He's not the eldest brother, and we haven't shown any signs of weakness. How can you just punch him when you come up?
But Lin Yi didn't do anything and punched the nearest inhuman classmate. Pangji punched him so quickly and accurately that his face was dented.
The remaining inhuman classmates all faced fierce looks and rushed over, but they thought they were very fast, but in fact the speed was "relative". In Lin Yi's eyes, they were actually a few zombie-like things with stiff movements.
They do not even feel that they are unlike human beings, but apart from the brainwashing magic sounds, they do not look like normal people at all, including either no or extremely exaggerated expression management, stiff and unnatural body movements, dry and hoarse voices, etc...
It’s just that they don’t know it at all.
So the situation under the lights completely turned into Lin Yi surrounding several inhuman classmates by himself. Even if he was carrying Wei Liang on his back, he could still move much more nimbly than the inhuman classmates. In addition, there was a lamppost around the pillar, and the inhuman classmates were unable to parry as he swerved around.
Lin Yi thoughtfully said: "Lighting has a strong 'sterilizing' effect on most humanoid sculptures and nocturnal species, and it also has a strong suppressive power on things that have transformed into inhuman classmates..."
But these inhuman classmates and I are dreaming. The kind of inhuman classmates observed through Mr. Tian's perspective are different... Their flexibility and IQ expression seem to be between "the inhuman classmates who are illuminated by the classroom lights" and the "inhuman classmates who turn off the lights"..."
"It seems that it is still a matter of the intensity of the light..."
Lin Yi began to adjust his output rhythm so that he could save energy as much as possible and at the same time deal blows to these inhuman classmates, making them unable to get close to him.
Just when his rhythm began to get better, the light of the street lamp suddenly started to sway like a candle...
Lin Yi suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he knew that he could not stay here anymore.
Hence, he no longer lingered. After opening the impassable path with his fist, he took Wei Liangzi and slipped out of the light range of "dormitory building-094" and rushed towards "dormitory building-095".
With the precedent of clearing "dormitory building-094" one by one, Lin Yi felt very confident about his future. However, what he didn't realize was that even if he left the "dormitory building-094" lighting area, the inhuman classmates he had attacked did not get up again, but staggered over there, gradually turning into pure white stone that was lifeless. The paste-like substance...
And some light mist floated out from their bodies, which was as thin as cooking smoke. It blended into the surrounding dense fog with the evening wind, and then seemed to be able to track the target, lingering around Lin Yi like tarsal gangrene, and was inhaled into his body bit by bit along with his breathing rhythm.
Then, the mist under the dark night was as numerous as hair, and it was impossible to tell the difference. Coupled with the dim light and the faintly twisted space, these strands of mist were mixed in, making it impossible to see them at all.
Lin Yi was also completely unaware of this problem, but the humanoid sculptures that had been biting him tightly for some reason relaxed slightly towards him. Although they were still chasing him, they kept a distance from him.
This is a good thing. Lin Yi had no intention or time to think about why, so he took the time to continue running.
But gradually, problems began to arise...
As he ran, the ground under his feet suddenly turned into something that was neither pebbles nor soft sand, and began to be accompanied by fine "clicking" sounds, giving him a feedback feeling of walking on thin ice.
He lowered his head and glanced at his feet, and immediately discovered that a dense, spiderweb-like crack had clearly expanded outward from the joint between the sole of his foot and the ground.
"Tsk... again?"
This was the scene last night, and I didn't expect it to happen again now.
Is this a drop in the layer, or is it... something that happens every time you approach the dormitory building in unusual weather? !
"Don't do it... there's not much time..."
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and stepped on this weird road full of cracks.
But suddenly, he found that the space in front of him suddenly swayed.
Yes, it's that kind of thing...the whole road seems to be picked up and shaken by some kind of force, it feels like ramen noodles.
As a result, Lin Yi who walked on this road suffered a lot.
The road surface, which was originally full of cracks, began to blend into a strong sense of contrast and collapse with the appearance of the ramen special effects. Lin Yi's first foot was stepping on the crispy ice, and the next foot landed on some kind of soft road surface.
He felt that his body balance was being damaged and destroyed by the layers, and he almost fell down several times.
Around him, the shadows of human-shaped sculptures surged one after another as if they were stepping on the waves, and the sound of "rustling, rustling, rustling..." was endless.
