Chapter 237 Under the Pebbles
He found that there seemed to be some red and white mixed substances flowing in the gaps between the cobblestones. In order to observe more carefully, he slowly leaned down and moved his face closer to the cobblestones.
These pebbles are like gummy candies at this moment, undergoing some kind of indescribable distortion as the layers change, but the speed is not fast, so at a glance, there is no sense of explosion that cannot be kept up with the cognition.
He found that the gaps between cobblestones actually became larger with different degrees of distortion.
In this blank area, there seems to be a magma-like substance flowing.
"Hey... this is it?"
As soon as he had this question, a faint smell penetrated his nose.
"...?!" Lin Yi's pupils suddenly froze, and then he seemed to bounce up from the ground out of reflex.
"The smell of blood!"
He smelled a smell of blood that was masked by the earthy smell of earth and the smell of vegetation!
It's just this bloody smell. It's not the smell of blood at first, but the smell of fresh tomatoes after they are cut.
Because it was the smell of tomatoes, Lin Yi didn't notice anything at first. He just regarded it as a natural breath mixed with the air, and didn't feel anything strange about it.
But when the bloody smell in the tomatoes was gradually decomposed by Lin Yi's sense of smell, the nauseating smell slowly enveloped him like a pervasive small raindrop.
He won't feel anything at first, but when he notices it, it means that the storm has submerged him.
At this moment, he unexpectedly discovered that as the cobblestone road twisted, the magma-like blood did not turn into a white gypsum-like substance under the sun. Instead, it continued to flow, as if covered with a layer of golden light.
Such a golden glow gradually began to show another color in Lin Yi's current "vision"——
"Blue...this?!"
He has seen green mist coming out of ketchup several times, and then turning into white powdery particles and dissipating in the wind, but... blue steam coming out of ketchup, this is the first time he has seen it!
The blue-gold luster produced by echoing the golden glow of the sun can easily remind people of a guy playing with grass.
The tomato sauce, which contains sky-blue steam, is not sculpted in the sunlight. Not only that, the flowing feeling looks like magma, more like hot gold.
This scene left Lin Yi stunned, but what shocked him even more was what came next.
He found that when the ketchup was flowing, it seemed to flow towards a certain contact point consciously. There was more than one such contact point. He saw three of them in his "vision" alone, and the nearest one was... beside him? !
"That's...?"
What did Lin Yi see? !
He saw that the contact point... turned out to be a street light pole!
Ketchup was supplied with extraordinary power from the sun, and then injected into the street lamp pole, and then climbed up the street lamp pole, and finally... all the sky blue breath was injected into the light bulb under the lampshade!
"Is this... the energy source of the "light"?!"
"The sun...contains extraordinary power?"
And that blue extraordinary power... is very similar to the power on the sports student's side. No, it may be of the same origin or something of the same nature!
"Daytime is our home court"
Xu Shunkang's words were shot out from May 7 like a boomerang, drawing an arc in the air and accurately hitting Lin Yi at this moment.
"'Ketchup' is the form of 'blood' after its cognition has been overwritten... So the seemingly identical ketchup will show two different directions of being 'restrained by sunlight' and 'can absorb sunlight' due to the different characteristics of the extraordinary power contained in it!"
Are sports students really superhuman and can be charged by solar energy?
From a scientific perspective...isn't moonlight also reflected sunlight?
Why is night the home of nocturnal species?
While Lin Yi found the staged answers, he also discovered new questions.
This is just like how the sunlight is less aggressive towards nocturnal species after being reflected in a mirror. Is the middleman really a vampire who can lose so many extraordinary characteristics at once?
At the same time, Lin Yi also discovered that the "malice" at the beginning had become extremely thin at this moment, and it felt like it was covered by a quilt.
"The malice... came quickly and violently, but it was fleeting, like a thunderstorm, and now I can no longer feel it."
Lin Yi was thoughtful and couldn't figure out the reason.
"Is it the "napkin effect"? That malice comes from another layer? And the "place" I sensed has been covered by ketchup exuding sky-blue mist, so the malice cannot invade. ?”
“The extraordinary power represented by ‘blue’ is indeed something that can suppress the strange atmosphere of the campus..."
He seemed to have figured out something, so he looked around.
At first glance, he found that as the layers of the entire cobblestone road twisted and stretched, the exposed area of the magma-like tomato paste in the gaps would also increase.
As the exposed area increases, the seemingly nonexistent breath will turn into sky-blue vapor, permeating the entire road at a level that ordinary people cannot observe, and continuously spreading to the surroundings.
The covering of sky-blue steam dilutes the force that causes the layer to distort, and the gaps begin to shrink again.
It can be said that the existence of this magma-like ketchup hidden under the cobblestone road layer limits the collapse and fall of the layer, and firmly restrains the canteen layer within a "safe" range.
A very magical linear relationship.
—At least, that is the case during the day when the sun is shining.
But it is also conceivable that when the sunlight is greatly reduced at night, the tomato paste will not be able to efficiently produce this kind of sky-blue steam, and the fall of the layer will become an inevitable result.
After understanding this, he slowly adjusted his breathing, consciously withdrew from the state of "my vision", and planned to tell everyone about this discovery immediately.
As his vision was withdrawn, the sky-blue steam that he could observe gradually became dim, and the smell of blood was once again covered by the earthy smell.
The sunshine on his body began to exude a warm atmosphere, and Lin Yi felt as if he had returned to the human world from a gray world.
He lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
6:48.
The "perception" just now didn't seem to occupy much of his time.
There is a feeling that time is stretched out.
"How do you say it?" Tian Bufan asked.
"I made a very amazing discovery, just now..." Lin Yi told him what he had discovered.
After hearing this, Tian Bufan frowned slightly.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lin Yi asked doubtfully.
Tian Bufan said: "This discovery is very interesting... However, I thought you would find clues related to "malice". "
Lin Yi wanted to shake his head, but Tian Bufan's mention made him realize something: "Did you make a discovery? Or...do you have an idea?"
"What other ideas can I have? Didn't I just say everything?" Tian Bufan said, "Since the malice has faded, it means it is not on this layer. I thought you would look for this layer..."
"Ah? Mr. Tian, are you looking too high on me? Can I still actively search for the layer?" Lin Yi said in surprise, wondering why the hell didn't I know that I still had this ability?
"You just said, what if you drop the layer, I thought that's what you meant." Tian Bufan said speechlessly, "It seems that I overestimated you."
..." Lin Yi was immediately silenced.
Brother, I am talking about self-protection. Why do you think I am talking about means?
But... wait, having said that...
Lin Yi thought about it again, the root of the problem seemed to be...the perception of layers?
"Does Mr. Tian already think that I can sense the "layer"? Is he so confident in me?"
Lin Yi actually felt a sense of disappointment that he did not meet the teacher's expectations during the final exam...
"The inspiration I have is not enough to support me. Explore the layers... But since you can't do it now, forget it for now." Tian Bufan said flatly, "You still need to continue to 'adapt'."
"I'm already like this, am I not 'adapting' enough?" Lin Yi didn't understand. He had improved a lot compared to May 6.
Tian Bufan glanced at it indifferently: "The first grade has the requirements of the first grade, and the sixth grade has the sixth grade standard... If you use the first grade level to take the second grade exam, you will only get a failure."
Lin Yiyi was startled: "You mean... my speed of adaptation is not up to your requirements?"
"It's not my request." Tian Bufan said, "But...there is indeed a standard."
"Is it to deal with the "grey mist invasion"?" Lin Yi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Tian, have you already known about the "grey mist invasion"? "
"I said, the information I know is also unfolded bit by bit." Tian Bufan said, "But there is no doubt that some conceptual things must have been in my mind for a long time, but for some reasons, even I can only get it slowly..."
"Yes, but I don't know about the "Gray Mist Invasion" ...But when you mentioned this concept just now, I seemed to suddenly "remember" some information related to it."
Lin Yi's eyes lit up: "What kind of information is it?"
"What it looks like, it doesn't matter for now... We have to find out what the "malice" was about just now. Tian Bufan glanced at Wei Liang, "Why don't some people feel the malice, but we are the only ones who feel it?"
“It shows that this wave of “malice” has a goal. "
"We don't know why we have become their "target". "
"Old Lin... This is contrary to my exploration plan."
"In my plan, we should not attract... at least, we should not attract attention to something at this time, which will make our exploration more difficult."
"So, even if we cannot find the source of "malice", at least we cannot not know it completely. Tian Bufan emphasized seriously, "We can be at a disadvantage, but we cannot be at a disadvantage without knowing it. If we find out the reasons, we can take precautions in advance."
Lin Yi nodded, but his mood couldn't help but become a little heavy.
The few people just continued to move forward on the cobblestone road, observing the surrounding environment vigilantly as they walked.
Only Wei Liang, who was so nervous, was still speeding up his pace, really showing that ignorance is courage.
"Old Lin, you are walking so slowly. If this were dinner, by the time you arrived at the cafeteria with snail's steps, the street lights would be on. Not to mention cooking, even if you go to the canteen to steal things, you wouldn't have enough time!"
Wei Liang silently patted the lamppost next to him, with an expression as if the street lamp I was waiting for would be gone.
But his actions inadvertently caused Lin Yi's attention to fall on the lamppost at his hand.
"Liangzi!" Lin Yi suddenly shouted, and then as if he had discovered something, he rushed over with an arrow.
“What are you going to do to me, Cao Laolin?!” Wei Liang’s chrysanthemums tightened, and he was so frightened that he hugged the street lamp tightly.
"Stop hugging, that lamppost has no number!" Lin Yi's target was the lamppost. As soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Liang was so frightened that he pushed the lamppost away, like a merciless scumbag.
Lin Yi rushed to the lamppost and looked at it repeatedly: "That's it! This is it!"
"Wha, what?" Wei Liang was frightened by Lin Yi's movements, and wanted to go over and touch him because he was nervous, but he didn't dare.
"Mr. Tian, watch me closely! I seem to have found the "malice"! "Lin Yi reached out and touched the lamppost lightly, and then suddenly thought of something, he squatted down, followed Mu Daxian's method of clearing weeds in the dream, and found a series of numbers on the base.
"Canteen-051"
"Canteen-051" is indeed a numbered street light pole. Lin Yi murmured to himself, "This street lamp pole was erased by the new pseudo-human experiencer yesterday!"
"Old Lin! What the hell are you doing?!" Wei Liang saw it and immediately became anxious. He didn't care whether Lin Yi was stunned or not, so he rushed over, grabbed his arm, and pulled him back.
"Are you possessed by a ghost? Be careful if you slip and slip into the green forest belt!" Wei Liang scolded fearfully, with a really worried look in his eyes.
Lin Yidao: "Liangzi, I'm fine. Besides, it's flat ground ahead, so don't worry."
"Holy shit, it's still flat ground? Isn't there a small slope over there? Are you...really distracted?" Wei Liang subconsciously reached out and touched Lin Yi's forehead.
But Lin Yi turned pale and suddenly turned his head to look at the lamppost beside him.
Beyond the weeds on the street light poles, there is indeed no flat land, but...a small slope!
His cognition just now...had a deviation!
