Chapter 183 Two Transformation Paths (2300 words added!)
Hand, doesn’t water evaporate after being exposed to sunlight?
At night, you can absorb water vapor and rejuvenate your body.
Furthermore, the form of pollution in the campus is fog, and fog itself is part of the water!
Also, the abnormal weather is not scary at first. Once it starts to rain, it is the abnormal weather that is really frightening.
So that kind of "rain" is a stronger pollutant?
Everything seems to be in order!
Nocturnal species actually have the characteristics of "water"!
Sure enough, Jia Baoyu sincerely doesn’t deceive me. Everything made of water is dangerous!
Lin Yi stated all his conjectures in one breath. Tian Bufan smiled after hearing this: "You have thought so much about the formation of alien sculptures? However, conjectures are conjectures. Don't draw conclusions simply..."
"As for the concept of "super" nocturnal species, I find it very interesting, but I feel that the pollution sources in the campus are not like aggregations of the nocturnal species. Unless they can really change from quantitative to qualitative changes, no matter how many ants there are, they will only form a large ant group when they are gathered together. "
"Just imagine, an elevator box is filled with nocturnal species, right? What about a campus filled with nocturnal species? Although there are many, no matter how large the number is, they will still die as soon as they see the sun."
"This kind of thing that cannot see the sun, the life form is too low... I even think that when it comes to pollution sources, conceptual sculptures are more qualified." They were evicted from the elevator? "
Tian Bufan sneered: "I originally thought I could expel them from the elevator, but the interesting thing is that they kept shrinking into the elevator."
"Maybe the outermost layer of nocturnal species can become a protective film after being dried by the sun."
“I had to break their naive idea, so I asked an enthusiastic sports student to break the part with a baseball bat whenever the surface layer of nocturnal species was dried, so that the living bodies of the nocturnal species could be exposed again..."
"In the end, we killed the entire nocturnal species in the elevator box, and I successfully entered the elevator."
"What's it like inside the elevator?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you if I tell you." Tian Bufan shook his head slightly, "There is no big difference between the inside of the elevator in the teaching building and the elevator in the dormitory building. The only difference is the button panel."
“The floor panel of the elevator in the teaching building shows that there are 8 floors in the teaching building. On the 8th floor, there is a “↑” button covered by a red glass cover. There is also an “×” on the glass cover, just like the button panel in the elevator in the dormitory building.”
"It's actually safe to enter the elevator. As long as you don't press the floor button, the elevator won't run, or if you step on the edge of the elevator, the door won't close. I have enough time to observe what's going on inside the elevator."
"I think the student code prohibits experience students from taking the elevator. Part of the reason is that they are worried that the floor button is different from the number of floors written on the code. Such a self-contradictory phenomenon can easily cause cognitive conflicts among experiencers, causing them to doubt the code..."
"You should know that once you have doubts about the code, it is no different from self-destruction."
"Another part of the reason is that when an ordinary experience student presses the elevator button, and the door opens to reveal a whole elevator of nocturnal creatures that look like rotten flesh, it is easy for people to have a nervous breakdown."
Lin Yi was slightly silent. He had imagined a lot of the environment inside the elevator of the teaching building, and even more outrageous scenes, but he did not expect that the elevator of the teaching building would be so reasonable and unexpected.
"That means...the elevator in the teaching building and the elevator in the dormitory building are the same kind of elevator, so they have the function of going to and from the art building. Even their operating principles may be the same."
"However, the elevator in the teaching building seems to be only able to be used in abnormal weather..."
Tian Bufan guessed: "If the reason for prohibiting the use of elevators in the teaching building is the two points I mentioned, it means that as long as we have sufficient knowledge, we can use the elevator freely, but the premise is that we only use the 1st to 4th floors in the elevator. In abnormal weather, once the layers start to stretch, you can reach the 5th to 8th floors through the elevator."
"Of course this is just my conjecture. In principle, I do not recommend that any of us try it... because so far we cannot know more information related to the elevator, and the 1~4 floors that the elevator reaches are still not on the normal layer of the lower campus. It’s difficult to tell about the first to fourth floors. ”
Lin Yi thought for a moment, and then nodded. Exploration should be done step by step. If you have enough information and knowledge before entering the same place, the risk factor will be greatly reduced.
"In addition, the transformation direction of the nocturnal species can be transformed into sculptures, and can also become inhuman classmates." Tian Bufan said slowly, "Today I had dinner with Wei Shan. After eating, we left the cafeteria and returned to the teaching building at about 16:30."
Tian Bufan said: "Because I want to confirm what will happen to the nocturnal species in the elevator before the sun completely sets."
"Because according to the art student code, we can infer that the interior of the elevator in the teaching building must be empty at night so that art students can leave in the elevator. In other words, they will leave the elevator at the right time."
"You caused trouble to a nocturnal creature in the elevator again?"
"It doesn't count this time, just observation."
"So what did you see?"
"Wei Shan and I were squatting outside the elevator corridor. We didn't notice much at first, until I saw an inhuman classmate passing by us with a grinding sound, and then went to open the elevator."
"That time point was about 17:50, which is when the sun completely set and the layers of the campus began to fall."
Tian Bufan described the scene at that time unhurriedly. An inhuman classmate opened the elevator, and the rotten flesh-like nocturnal species began to squirm out of the elevator, and then began to twist and separate from each other, turning into independent pieces of plasticine-like humanoid substances.
“Some of them still retain the appearance of bodyless rotten flesh, while the other part began to take shape and turned into something with a human form. After 18:00, with the turning on of the floor lights, it turned into an ‘inhuman classmate’.” He couldn't help but take a breath at the changes that occurred when he entered the light: "Human sculptures can also become non-human classmates!"
Tian Bufan nodded: "I also saw it. They are almost the same life type. I got some information about this when I was chatting with the sports students while playing barbecue. I will tell you in detail later."
"The nocturnal species who could not transform into an inhuman classmate slowly wriggled like leeches outside the stairs of the teaching building before 18:00, hiding in the darkness where they would not be illuminated by the light and far away from the street lamp poles."
He asked: "However, why are some nocturnal species able to turn into inhuman classmates, but some cannot? What is the reason for this difference? Is it related to identity anchoring?"
"You are right, only nocturnal species with an anchored identity can become inhuman classmates." Tian Bufan said, "In other words, any nocturnal species with an anchored identity can become an inhuman classmate."
"After breaking away from the sculpture form, non-human units can move like humans under the light, but their mobility is greatly affected by the intensity of the light."
"Ordinary nocturnal species do not have the "right" to enter the light at all, and can only hide in dark places."
"According to the information I received from the sports students, before daylight arrives, all Non-human units need to stay out of the light range to avoid being burned by the sun. "
"When evacuating, they will hide in the elevator nearby. Those who cannot hide in the elevator will escape from the teaching building area and hide in the green forest belt."
“When daytime comes, the non-human classmates located at the edge of the green forest belt will transform into human sculptures again, while the nocturnal ones hiding in the elevator can still maintain their mud state because they are not exposed to sunlight.”
"That's it." Lin Yi looked astonished. After knowing the difference between nocturnal species, non-human classmates and humanoid sculptures, plus the scene where he saw the humanoid sculptures transforming into inhuman classmates, he understood many details at once.
"By the way, have you asked where nocturnal species come from?" Lin Yi asked. He actually wanted to ask Xu Shunchang, but Xu Shunchang and the others were vague. They just talked about the concept of nocturnal species without going into too much detail.
Tian Bufan nodded and continued: "In fact, just talking about life and death, we can divide the classes of nocturnal species. One type is transformed by living people, and the other is transformed by dead people." The form of colored powder particles is transformed and reborn in another form, but this type of nocturnal species does not have much thought, only an almost pure instinct, and a strong desire for "identity""
"There is a type of inhuman classmates in the classroom, with empty eyes and devilish smiles on their mouths. These are the inhuman classmates transformed by the dead."
"They will gradually lose the ability to maintain a human appearance and turn into a humanoid ooze-like substance like plasticine... But if they can obtain an identity anchor, they can maintain their human shape."
"This type, I prefer to call them "dead non-human classmates". They have no possibility of transforming back. They can only end up being killed by sports students or being cleared by security guards when they wander around the campus." "
"The transformation of living people is also quite easy to understand, but the concept is a little more complicated. For example, it is like Li Huiyuan's."
“Experience students lose their student ID cards for various reasons. After losing their identity anchor, they will be affected by various strange phenomena in the campus. They will also have self-doubt due to layer fluctuations and other problems. This will lead to instability of their own state. They will absorb the pollution in the white powder particles and transform into nocturnal species. "
Although there is a sense of reaching the same goal through different paths, there are still some subtle differences in becoming a nocturnal species. "
"The nocturnal species transformed from a living person... will be more intelligent, while the nocturnal species transformed from a dead person only has instincts."
“There is a type of non-human classmates in the classroom who are rather sinister and can look at people. They are this type of people. I call them “non-human classmates who are not dead yet”. "
"Not dead yet, but already on the road to death, and the chance of being transformed back is very slim."
"So even the nocturnal species are different, just like the soup cooked with dead fish and the one made by killing live fish look the same, but they taste obviously different." Lin Yi suddenly thought of this. For example, "emmmm...that is, the difference in 'the freshness of the ingredients themselves'?"
"Yes." Tian Bufan was a little surprised by Lin Yi's metaphor of a madman's diary. After a pause, he continued, "And, according to the description of the sportsman, there is a chance that humanoid sculptures transformed from living people can be transformed back."
"Oh?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up, "How do you say that?"
"Just find your student ID card in time." Tian Bufan said, "It looks simple, but it's not simple at all, right."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment.
It sounds really good. Jiebao is simple. You can get back lost items!
However, once lost, it will basically be eaten directly by nocturnal species, humanoid sculptures, and green bib chefs. How do you get it back? A cesarean section?
And what you need to consider is not whether it is possible, but whether it is possible. Your student ID has been robbed, and you still go to them, do you want to be a repeat customer and add another dish to them?
Unrealistic.
If it were Wei Shan, he might be able to violently tear apart the mouths of non-human classmates, but for most people, it is simply not practical.
Tian Bufan continued: "However, nocturnal species, whether they are transformed from living people or transformed from dead people, have the ability to absorb white powder particles to repair their broken bodies."
"Even if they become humanoid, Sculptures, as long as they are not broken into pieces, can be repaired, but because of this, I said that even the "non-human classmates who are not dead" have little chance of being transformed back. The pollution will only absorb more and more, and there will be no place to vent it. What else do you think the final ending will be? "
Lin Yi frowned and suddenly said in a deep voice: "When I heard what you said, I immediately thought of us... Maozi is absorbing pollution continuously and then dispersing it to us. Sooner or later, we will become inhuman classmates, right?"
Tian Bufan fell silent, and suddenly only the sound of the pendulum clock was left in dormitory 1414.
About ten seconds later, Tian Bufan said: "Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless we leave S University before we are transformed, or... find a way to use pollution."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes: "You want to become a sports student or... an art student? But in that case, you need to give up your existing identity anchor."
"That's why we have to find a way to transform back..." Tian Bufan corrected, "Furthermore, I speculate that there is a very strict rule on the path from experience student to sports student or art student-"no overnight stay." "
"Experience students who mistakenly swipe someone else's student ID card need to register with their class teacher before staying overnight; experience students who have lost their student ID cards also need to report to their class teacher before staying overnight..."
"There is a subtle connection between "identity anchor" and the sensitive time point of "overnighting". ”
“I think if a person who has lost his student ID card cannot enter one of the paths before staying overnight, he will become an inhuman classmate.”
“Your class teacher left Li Huiyuan behind, and he must be helping her to enter one of the paths, and it is most likely the sports student path.”
But by the time the two of them talked, they had basically analyzed two logical and clear transformation paths.
The first article is:
"Experiencer" - (Killed) - (Continuously absorbing pollution) - "Nocturnal species" - (Acquired identity anchor) - "Inhuman classmate".
The second article is:
"Experience student" - (Lost student ID) - (Continuously absorbing pollution, staying overnight) - "Inhuman classmates" -
【1. (Continuously absorbing pollution) - "Night-walking species" ]
【2. (Take back student ID card)—“Experience student”]
Of course there is the third article: “Experience student”—(Lost student ID card)—
【1. (???)—“Art student”]
【2. (???)—"Sports Student"】
The question marks on both sides each represent unique conditions.
But the third article is unclear and can only be left to be explored in the future.
No matter which path they take, the nocturnal species and inhuman classmates will lose the pollution and turn into human sculptures after being exposed to sunlight, and after reabsorbing the pollution, they will turn into nocturnal species or inhuman classmates.
Hence, another key factor that determines whether it can be converted back is whether the unit is alive or dead before the conversion begins. If it is alive, it can still be dealt with, but if it is dead, it will be difficult to save.
Lin Yi thoughtfully said: "In this way... combined with this information and the origin of the nocturnal species, the real reason why the little genius sculpture appeared in the green forest belt has been found."
After the little genius was killed, the body was dragged to the green forest belt by the inhuman classmates who ran away from the teaching building. After receiving a night of pollution instillation, it was illuminated by the sun the next day and turned into a mutilated human sculpture.
Then it was a cloudy day. When he returned to the teaching building, he encountered clouds drifting across the sky. The little genius's "Broken Human Sculpture" should also have encountered this situation. In addition, there was a huge amount of pollution in the green forest belt, so it absorbed a large amount of white powder particles, gradually completed the body, and then walked on the road that led to the non-existent ocean. In the afternoon, he happened to encounter it after falling from the layer!
The loop is closed!
Perfectly closed loop!
"Knowing this now has no special significance." Tian Bufan shook his head slightly. After understanding the transformation path between nocturnal species and non-human units, he can effectively avoid many problems. Even if little geniuses turn back as humanoid sculptures, they will not be afraid.
"Speaking of which, I didn't expect the sports student to tell you so much?" Lin Yi's face was a little strange, with some unclear meaning, "Could it be that you discovered it yourself, and then passed it on to the unfounded sports student, right?"
Tian Bufan smiled: "Yes, they are tight-lipped when it comes to issues of principle, but you can still talk about this kind of thing."
Lin Yi did not waste any more time on this issue. Anyway, if he asked, it would be what the sports student said. If he asked again, it would be that Tian Bufan slowly "decompressed" more information as time progressed and his understanding deepened.
"By the way, I discovered that nocturnal species are not only found in elevators, they are also found in places not exposed to direct light in the teaching building, as well as in toilets... I met nocturnal species disguised as Liangzi and Li Huiyuan in the toilet. They seem to be more intelligent than ordinary nocturnal species."
"This is normal. Nocturnal species will take advantage of every opportunity to escape. Nocturnal species that have no time to squeeze into the elevator will escape to the corner of the building." Tian Bufan said slowly, "And those in the toilet are most likely nocturnal species that have been transformed from the "non-human classmates who have not yet died" after the pollution deepened. "
Since the topic of transformation was discussed, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the humanoid sculptures disguised as Nie Yun and Ge Qing, trying to attack them.
But what impressed him most about this incident was not the attack itself, but the weird posture of the opponent facing the wall.
"Not only Ge Qing and Nie Yun were in the form of non-human classmates, but Zhou Yuting, the non-human classmate I saw later, also seemed to be facing the wall, as if she was licking the paint number with her tongue..." Lin Yi tried hard to recall the details, "Then I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but I always feel that today’s street lights seem to be darker than usual, and even the paint numbers have become much lighter.”
Tian Bufan then said: "Since the conjecture has been raised, let's take a look."
"If the dimness of the street lights is caused by fog, then this problem should have occurred on the day we entered the school and yesterday. However, it is obvious that when the abnormal weather begins to intensify, the illumination range of the street lights will indeed be suppressed, but the light will not be affected. Impact. "
"So, the dimming of the street lights is very likely to be related to the inhuman classmates."
"Considering the "emergency response plan" given by the class teacher, I highly doubt that this will be a full-scale invasion of the campus by an inhuman unit guided by some strong pollution source. "
"For example...an invasion driven by that conceptual sculpture!"
"And Old Lin, you seem to have forgotten a very crucial thing."
Lin Yi asked puzzled: "What?"
Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes, lowered his tone, and said in a deep voice: "Judging from the situation on the first night, outside my class in Building C and your class in Building B, there is that conceptual sculpture. Old Lin, what do you think this means?"
When Lin Yi heard this, the pupils in his dark eyes shrank instantly: "You mean...that kind of conceptual sculpture is not unique to the individual?"
When Lin Yi said this, he felt a chill running down his spine, as if a cold air was swirling around his body.
