Chapter 234: Taking turns to be awake (1000 words added)
"Isn't there a physical education class today? I'd better bring an extra pair of shoes." Wei Liang said calmly. The fear of being dominated by a muscular man and forced to give him a shoe the day before seemed to still hang over him.
"Oh, come on, are you sleepy? Get out of bed and wash your face!"
Wei Liang put his bag on his back and urged, "I'm waiting for you. I don't usually find you sleeping so well, why are you sleeping like a dead pig today?"
On the other side, Tian Bufan and the others were also ready, sitting on the chairs, as if they were waiting for you.
Once he saw this battle, Lin Yi didn't bother to explain, and quickly got out of bed to wash up.
However, the moment he lifted the quilt, a large amount of white powder was thrown up. It looked like someone had sprinkled flour on his quilt.
"Cough! Cough!"
Lin Yi accidentally inhaled a small amount of powder and coughed violently.
When Wei Liang saw this, he quickly stepped onto the desk and went to give Lin Yi a slap on the back: "Let me go, Old Lin, what's going on? The wall paint is peeling off?"
He couldn't help but reach out to touch the quilt, and then became even more confused: "Hey, why is it gone again?"
A violent cough made Lin Yi's head feel dizzy. Hearing this, he checked the quilt carefully again, but this time, not only was there no white powder on his quilt, it was also extremely silky, and there was no abnormality at all.
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then found that he no longer coughed. After shaking his head, he climbed down holding on to the bed rail.
When he stepped on the ground, he seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but look up at the ceiling.
While I was half asleep and half awake yesterday, the ceiling seemed to have turned into the floor, and the entire dormitory seemed to be upside down 180 degrees.
Even now that he is down to earth, he still has a sense of unrealistic dreaminess in his heart.
He always felt dizzy, as if his soul had not returned yet, and his vision was a little wandering.
He slowly came to the washstand, held the washstand basin with both arms and panted for a while, then turned on the faucet and washed his face.
But when he was washing his face, he found that the touch on his hands was smoother than ever before. He was stunned for a moment and looked up at himself in the mirror.
His own face in the mirror has no facial features and is as smooth as a hard-boiled egg with its shell removed.
"What's going on, what's going on?" Wei Liang rushed over and helped Lin Yi up from the ground.
Lin Yi carefully looked at the mirror again and found that he in the mirror had recovered again, as if he had just hallucinated.
"No...it's okay." Lin Yi waved his hand and started pouring water to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth.
“Would you like me to pack a pair of shoes for you?” Wei Liang asked.
"Uh... Okay." Lin Yi thought about it for a moment. Although the boss's shoes were good, they were a bit tight after all.
He looked at himself in the mirror and began to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth. He didn't know if he had not yet come out of the dream environment. He always felt that the environment in the mirror was a little strange, and it seemed that even he looked a little strange.
Suddenly, he looked through the mirror and saw the window next to him.
The dormitory window... is open.
He clearly remembered to keep it closed!
The strange creature seemed to have opened the window in the middle of the night, but the dormitory manager closed the window again!
"Yinbi opened the window." Wei Shan's voice came from the side, "I closed it a little when it was cold, but Yinbi wouldn't let me close it."
"Isn't it good to get some air in the early morning?" Kuai Hongji crossed his arms and sneered, "Remember to close it after you wash up."
After Kuai Hongji said this, he held a bag in his back hand and pushed open the door of the dormitory.
"Kuaikui, do you want to go first?" Lin Yi asked.
"Let's wait a moment, Lao Lin has woken up, and it won't be more than a few minutes." Tian Bufan's voice also sounded.
Kuai Hongji narrowed his eyes, and then silently closed the door.
「Okay.」
Lin Yi went to close the window after washing up, but when he reached out to grab the window handle, he saw the outer wall of the dormitory through the gap in the window.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Moss?"
The outer wall of the dormitory was actually covered with moss, and from his angle, the outer wall of the dormitory... actually looked like it was looking at a cliff.
Since time was running out, he didn't think much about it, but immediately closed the window.
6:30, when everything was finished, everyone planned to leave the dormitory.
Lin Yi suddenly thought of something and slapped his head: "I almost forgot about this!"
He returned to the locker, opened the door and rummaged around.
“Stop looking for it, I’ve already folded the piece of paper for you and put it in your bag.” Tian Bufan said calmly.
What Lin Yi was looking for was the piece of paper left by Song Rentou, but Tian Bufan had already predicted his operation.
"It has to be you." Lin Yi couldn't help but give a thumbs up in appreciation.
…
At 6:35, Lin Yi and his party took the elevator down to the dormitory building.
This journey went very smoothly, of course, mainly because someone consciously didn’t think much about anything, and just followed the large group into the elevator like a wooden man, and then came to the first floor.
There were quite a few experimental students who left the dormitory at this point, but they were all immersed in their way and did not pay too much attention to the people around them.
The morning after the heavy rain, a fresh and peaceful scene appeared outside the dormitory building.
The sky was washed extremely bright, with some white clouds hanging on the blue sky. The early morning sunlight penetrated through the clouds, casting mottled light and shadow, and the outside of the dormitory building seemed to be cast with a light golden glow.
The air is filled with the fragrance of earth and grass. The trees and flowers in front of the dormitory building appear more vibrant under the baptism of rain. Crystal water droplets hang on the leaves, shining with the glory of the morning.
The accumulated water on the cobblestone road reflects the color of the sky, like countless distorted miniature mirrors, reflecting the surrounding scenery.
From time to time, a breeze blows by, scattering the water droplets on the leaves all over the ground, making a crisp sound.
The students walked out of the dormitory one after another, breathing in the fresh air, their faces filled with the joy of the morning after the rain. They were either walking on the path or chatting near the shade of the trees, enjoying this rare quiet time.
The only thing that seems strange is that no matter how fresh the air is and how quiet the environment is, there is still no life in the surrounding mountains and forests.
This season is still some time away from the peak of summer when cicadas chirp, but there shouldn’t be even a single bird. ,
This is the fourth day after entering school, but Lin Yi has never seen a bird in the sky.
The entire University in City S seemed to be like a "Truman Show". It was so quiet that it made people feel depressed and manic, and it made Lin Yi feel slightly uneasy.
Obviously the boundaries of cognition have expanded a lot, but Lin Yi feels more and more terrified, and he also feels more and more afraid of the entire campus.
Just like the frog at the bottom of the well, the world is originally so big, but when he gets closer to the mouth of the well, his horizons become wider.
However, as he continued to approach the wellhead, the original curiosity in the frog's heart was gradually shocked by the boundless vastness of the world as his horizon expanded.
Facing the external world, which is countless times larger than the world at the bottom of the well, the frog has no other emotion except fear.
The group of people walked on the slippery cobblestone road, stepping on the thin mist at their feet, and walked slowly and slowly towards the canteen.
Everyone was unusually silent all the way, and seemed to be worried.
"Master Tian..." After walking for a while, Lin Yi spoke slowly.
"Oh?" Tian Bufan kept walking and glanced sideways at him, "Have you sorted out what you want to say?"
"My experience last night... was very complicated."
"Hmm." Tian Bufan responded calmly, as if whatever Lin Yi said was within his expectation.
"I mean, not only dreams are complicated...experiences are also complicated."
"I know." Tian Bufan nodded.
Lin Yi opened his mouth wide: "Ah? You know? Wait, did you know something entered our dormitory at night?"
Tian Bufan nodded.
"No...how did you know? Were you not asleep?"
"I was already asleep at that point, but Wei Sang was awake." Tian Bufan glanced at Wei Sang.
"Weisang? Wait, so what you mean is..." Lin Yi thought of something.
"Yes, I slapped that dirty thing away on purpose." The chubby Wei Shan said after hearing this.
"How can you not sleep?" Wei Shan asked, "I, no, we, just..." He said this, hesitated, and glanced at Tian Bufan, as if asking for Tian Bufan's opinion.
Tian Bufan nodded and took the initiative to take over the conversation: "We are just taking turns to stay awake to help you... "Watch the night." "
"Wake up in turns?" Wei Liang on the side heard this and couldn't help but opened his mouth and complained, "Do you guys share the same biological clock? You can also seamlessly connect sleep time, is it so outrageous?"
"Come on, I'm the only one who dares to just fall asleep in a serious manner?"
Tian Bufan glanced at him lightly: "You know whether you are asleep or not."
"We are already used to it."
"That's right, Liangzi, you're not asleep too, right?" Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang in surprise, thinking that Wei Liang made a deafening cry every time he said he was asleep, but in the end he didn't fall asleep. He really couldn't tell whether Wei Liang was really asleep or pretending to be asleep.
Could it be that...he was the only one sleeping in the whole dormitory?
Wei Liang said speechlessly: "Of course I fell asleep, and I slept as soundly as a dead pig!"
"You can change the analogy... How can anyone compare himself to a dead pig? It's so unlucky." Lin Yidao.
"There is nothing auspicious or unlucky about using an analogy? Why should we care too much about life and death?" Wei Liang waved his hand hurriedly, "So, Old Lin, what did you dream about this time?"
"Well... let's talk about dreams first." Tian Bufan also said.
His meaning is very obvious. We don’t know about dreams yet, but you are the only one who doesn’t know about the experiences at night.
It is clear at a glance which priority is the most important.
"Dreams... are very complicated." Lin Yi wondered whether he should tell him that in addition to dreaming about Mao Zi's experience, he could also dream about your experience.
He hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Mao Zi’s experience first, and then talk about this matter.
"The dream is like this... The timing is very magical, it just picks up where it left off last time, just like watching a catch-up drama..."
He said slowly.
“Mao Zi and Mu Daxian came to the campus in the evening of May 7th, and took the elevator in the Art Building...”
“The elevator in the Art Building is indeed in the observation deck, and the passage is full of strange characters and symbols that cannot be described...”
“It’s nothing but art. The number in the elevator shaft of the art building starts with the word "month", which should have the same meaning as the art student number on the student commemorative coins. I feel that this "month" should have some meaning in the art department..."
"On the way back to campus, the elevator stopped at the library, and then returned to the teaching building..."
“At the library, there was a man who got on the elevator. His clothes looked a bit like a pseudo-art student, but he didn’t exude any malice, because he had some pseudo-human features, but they were not obvious, and he seemed to be obviously afraid of Mu Daxian...Art students are not afraid of Mu Daxian. "
"Oh, by the way, regarding the concept of "pseudohuman art students"... they are actually the people we used to call "weird art students". They are... the products of the transformation of art students after they have been contaminated, and they no longer seem to belong to human beings. ”
“There are some other concepts that I will talk about later.”
“Then, according to Mu Daxian, the library is indeed Building D of the teaching building, but there seems to be some strange mechanism that prevents you from returning after arriving..."
"This mechanism, Mu Daxian has not mentioned yet. I suspect that it may have a similar relationship with the movement method of the stairs on the first floor of the teaching building. It is a one-way passage. How specific it is, we have to find a chance to find out." Mao Zi is also registered here. "
"Unfortunately, in order to prevent them from being seen by ordinary experiencers, Mu Daxian calculated the time accurately and perfectly avoided most of the people, so that none of us met even once..."
"The message on our blackboard turned out to be left by Mu Daxian."
"That Mu Daxian... he seems to know a lot of rules, and it feels like he has already done part of what we are doing now, and has collected a lot of rules."
"Furthermore, I feel that his understanding of the rules is not as simple as simply getting the rules. He seems to have been the kind of "unit" that must be obeyed. According to what he said personally, he should be an art student transformed from experience, so He knows the rules of the experience student series and some of the rules of the sports student series..."
"And he has also served as a dormitory manager for a period of time, so he knows the rules of the dormitory series more comprehensively than ours, including the "House Manager Code". I even suspect that he has partially mastered the ability to use old kerosene lamps... Because he can explode lamps with his bare hands. This skill, which few people seem to have mastered, gives me the same feeling as exploding seeds."
"Furthermore, he is best friends with a chef with a black bib, so he even knows the "Chef Code", and it is said that it is a relatively in-depth "Code of Chefs with a Black Bib"... Of course, this is my own guess, because I feel that the blue bib chef and the black bib chef may have different codes."
"'Black Bib Chef'?" Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes.
Lin Yi nodded, and when he saw this, he started to learn more: "In addition to the tainted cuckold and blue bib chefs, there is also a kind of black bib chef, who is said to be responsible for "logistics", that is, the person who is responsible for cooking and cooking when he is in the canteen, but when he comes out of the canteen, he does everything..."
"Like a group of super agents who know everything."
He briefly introduced the black bib chef, but did not dwell on this topic.
, I don’t know if it’s because art students can do things that art teachers can’t do to some extent...”
Lin Yi obviously has his own insights, so when explaining the facts normally, he also expressed his “experiences”.
As for Mao Feiyang’s experience in the dream, Lin Yi was actually telling more about the person Mu Daxian.
Because Mu Daxian seems to be the epitome of the art department, and there is a lot of information and clues about the art department and non-art department from him.
"And... what I think is the most outrageous is that Mu Daxian knows a rule called the "Iron Rule of the Night Watch.""
"Named after the "iron law", in addition to the force, what I feel more should be that it embodies some kind of binding force..."
"Restraining force...?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, but he did not expect this.
"Just like the Global H-Bomb Agreement, the more powerful something is, the more it needs to be 'controlled' and 'restrained'..." Tian Bufan squinted his eyes and said, "Perhaps, the Iron Law of the Night Watch is different from the Code. The Code is used to protect the adherents from being polluted, while the Iron Law... is Something used to restrain the night watchman from harming others and restricting his ability to move? "
Lin Yi's eyes fluctuated. He thought of Mu Daxian's mention that the night watchman never seemed to leave the art building. Is it... really a constraint?
The night watchman protects the art building, but is the art building also the night watchman’s cage?
In other words, does the night watchman and the art building have some kind of special relationship, just like... Lao Mo and the canteen?
