Chapter 258 The sudden change in the passage
A cold golden light suddenly flashed through the sunken eye sockets of the Penguin Puppet Art Student: "Is he one of the two people who escaped Teacher Buze?"
"That's him." Zhang Lingzhen nodded.
"Looks like a thorny onion..." the penguin dummy artist thought thoughtfully, "We have to make plans for "physical cloth". "
The artist with the bandage puppet nodded slightly: "I'll do the work, don't worry."
The weird thing is that when the artist with the bandage puppet nodded, it felt like he was freezing and bowing slightly.
The figures of several people gradually disappeared into other passages.
…
When the slightly threatening aura disappeared from Lin Yi's perception, he raised his head again and looked towards other passages.
Looking at the scattered "people" who entered it, he gradually narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully.
"There seem to be more people taking other passages today than usual..." Wei Liang sighed with emotion beside him.
Lin Yi nodded: "Indeed..."
"It seems that they have all lost their student ID cards." Wei Liang said.
As if being reminded of something, Lin Yi suddenly turned his head to look at Wei Liang.
Wei Liang was stunned for a moment, spread his hands and said in confusion: "What's wrong, did I say something wrong?"
"You're not wrong, I thought wrong." Lin Yi murmured.
He made a mistake, and it wasn't until Wei Liang casually spoke that he remembered it.
Because of his broadened cognition, he acquiesced that the people who entered other channels were sports students, art students, and pseudo-art students, but he forgot that there was also a group of people who "lost their student ID cards."
Perhaps Zhou Yuting lost her student ID card that day and was afraid that her student ID card would be taken away from her, so she begged Xu Shunkang to take her through another channel?
This means that another pseudo-person, Zhou Yuting, was born?
The birth of a pseudo-person is, after all, based on a person losing his identity or... his life.
He lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
10:39.
“It’s almost time, shall we wait at the entrance of the student restaurant?” He glanced at Wei Liang.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."
A minute later, after checking the signs for the student passage, Lin Yi stepped into the passage with Wei Liang.
Just when his body crossed the boundary between the entrance of the passage and the outside, whether due to structural problems of the passage or something else, a strong wind roared down the steps from the passage, causing his body to sway.
Lin Yi's footsteps suddenly sank, but by the time he realized it, the sound had drifted far away, as if it was just a cyclone. After meeting him, it whizzed away...
But despite this, the strange seeds seemed to have been buried deeply, and Lin Yi began to feel a strange itching sensation in his heart. He didn't know what was going on, but it was a bit uncomfortable anyway.
He looked at the students who had entered the passage and began to feel that something was wrong.
In fact, he has always felt that the hidden problems in the canteen area are the most serious, whether it is from the perspective of the existing units, the hidden areas within it, or... from the perspective of its layers.
Especially the layer angle.
If every door in the teaching building is like stepping through a layer after entering, then in the cafeteria area, in addition to plastic curtains and other things with the nature of "doors" that act as boundaries between layers, student passages, which do not have portals themselves, also seem to carry the attribute of "doors".
Just when he realized this, he suddenly figured out something - "That's true!"
"Layered!"
"It's because there are different levels, and there are countless branches at the same point in space, so... When Ryoko and I "teamed up" to enter the student passage, there were only two of us in the entire passage! "
He looked around. The sea of people just now seemed to be blurred at this moment, and could not be seen at all!
When he thought of this point, he seemed to see shadows around him. Each of those shadows was an experiencer, but those experiencers and Lin Yi were like people in two time and space.
Those people have only hazy outlines, walking past Lin Yi and Wei Liang. The whole picture seems to have used a slow-motion shooting technique specifically designed to highlight the protagonist's slow-motion movement in the flowing sea of people.
Lin Yi understood instantly: "In fact, everyone is here, but due to cognitive or other issues... everyone only has their own 'copy'!"
Wei Liang did not seem to notice that Lin Yi stopped and was still walking silently in front.
After Lin Yi saw it, he quickly followed him.
But when he caught up, he found that Wei Liang seemed to be always one step ahead of him, and he seemed to have caught up, but he couldn't catch up at all!
【Hey hey hey...Lin Yi...】
A gust of wind came and blew on the back of his neck, making his hair stand up, his whole body trembling, and his scalp going numb.
"Liangzi!" Lin Yi called to Wei Liang, but Wei Liang didn't seem to hear him at all and continued to walk forward.
Just at this moment, a violent gust of wind suddenly surged from the student passage, as if it had experienced some kind of steep plateau terrain and gained acceleration in the canyon. It suddenly penetrated Wei Liang's figure in front and pounced on Lin Yi!
"The wind... penetrated Ryoko?!"
"No! Oops - I dropped the layer!"
Lin Yi suddenly woke up, but before he could react, the fierce wind blew him backwards. At this moment, relying on his strong core strength, he twisted directly on the steps, and then fell to the ground, barely avoiding the tragic situation of landing on the back of his head.
However, before he could take a breath, he found that his hand was pressed into a splash of water...
"Hua Hua Hua -"
The fierce wind had gone away from him, but the sound of gurgling water rang in his ears.
The steps...the steps are flowing!
His palm penetrated the water and touched the steps in the water. However, the steps were not ordinary steps, but stone slabs that had been eroded by the water and were extremely smooth, but full of small holes!
He wanted to stand up, but found that when he straightened his spine, he was immediately washed by the strong wind again!
The wind is still there!
Just because of the terrain, the flow layer existed half a meter above his head!
As long as he lies down, the wind cannot blow him!
But...where is the wind?
Isn’t this a student passage? !
「Student passage...?!」
His pupils trembled violently, as if he thought of something, trying to anchor his position, but this environment did not give him any chance to focus on himself.
The strong wind above my head was like waves, blowing one after another, like a machine that sprays water vapor in a scenic spot on a hot day, and was overturned by the wind.
Lin Yi heard the sound of chains colliding again and again. The sound... was right above his head!
It’s the wind!
The wind blew over the incandescent lamp overhead!
It must be the wind!
The top of the student passage is covered with incandescent lights. Those stars-like things will undoubtedly become his biggest anchor at this moment!
Just imagining the daytime may not be able to anchor yourself back at this time, but if there is a light in the normal layer, it will be different!
At this moment, he was as surprised as a person in the turbulent river discovering the branches on the shore. He quickly raised his head and looked upward.
Lin Yi was frightened, his body became unsteady, and he almost slipped and fell.
His eyes kept wandering, and he saw a picture that was not even scary enough to describe its horror!
The star-like incandescent lamp has completely disappeared, replaced by countless broken human sculptures whose bodies are chained up. They hang like lamps above the passage. The iron chains are jingled by the strong wind, and the terrifying and strong wind cuts through their bodies like blades. From time to time, some fragments are peeled off from their bodies...
Throughout the passage, there are countless humanoid sculptures hanging, and these humanoid sculptures seem to be somewhere between "life" and "death"!

It seems to be extremely eager for Lin Yi to anchor itself away!

【Lin Yi...Lin Yi...】
【You can't walk...you can't walk——】
The wilder the wind, the faster the water, the clearer the sound of the chains, like a strange music, knocking on human bones, singing a horrible and resentful funeral song.
"No...no no no..." Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at them.
But when he looked back, he found that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed again...
The light in the passage gradually weakened, and the darkness began to oppress him as if it were a substance, incandescent. After the lights disappeared, it seemed that even the light source began to disappear...
He found that the entire student passage no longer existed, or in other words, he fell out of the layer where the student passage was located, as if someone had pushed him from the surface of the water to the bottom of the water.
The surrounding walls are no longer pitted yellow stones and bricks, but almost smooth rock walls. The rock walls are filled with flowing water, but the source of this flowing water cannot be seen at all.
The place where the steps connect with the wall is covered with thick moss, and some cracks occasionally appear on the smooth wall. The shadows in the cracks reveal a faint green light, as if there is some kind of fluorescent algae plant wriggling, but if you look closely, you can't see it. If you don't look carefully, it seems to be floating there like a will-o'-the-wisp.
The wind came from the front and seemed to bring some broken water drops.
Lin Yi's heart gradually sank to the bottom, but he immediately picked up his spirits.
He knew that the more real the scene he saw, the deeper his resonance with this layer. Once he really came to this layer, the hope of going back became slim.
"Anchor! We must find the anchor!" Lin Yi's thoughts changed rapidly. This was no longer as simple as a hallucination. The running water and broken water drops at his feet, the howling wind, everything directly affected his five senses, and it was no longer a hallucination.
If it was Vision, he only needed to fantasize about the boss to divert his attention, but he just suffered a wave of combos in this environment and missed the best opportunity to fantasize about the boss.
He can actually use his identity information to anchor, but the problem is that he has not lost himself at all... Anchoring will only allow the human sculptures hanging above his head to use him!
"There must be some other way!"
"The key is... we need an anchor!"
"So is there anything that can be used as an anchor?"
Lin Yi started thinking crazily.
The so-called "anchor" is an element that can determine my "location".
"If the layers have boundaries, then the two layers must be touching together before I can move! So what I need now is..."Return to the original route"?!"
"Wind!"
"Wind is the key!"
Lin Yi took a deep breath, and then slowly stood up.
The fierce wind blew from the front like a spiral, constantly hitting him, trying to break his spine!
He narrowed his eyes, and then faintly saw a figure in front of him...
It was Wei Liang.
Wei Liang was still climbing up the stairs, seemingly unaffected by the wind!
"It's a 'napkin'!"
Lin Yi thought of what Tian Bufan once told him. He and Wei Liang were on the same layer of paper, but he was contaminated by another layer!
So this weird place covered his original layer, and tried to use the way he established the anchor point to follow him back to his layer!
He found the anchor point, and those broken human sculptures that were tied by iron ropes and floating in the wind found the link to go back!
This is a dead end!
Either Lin Yi doesn't go back, or... we go back together!
【Lin Yi...】
【Hey hey hey...】
【Lin Yi... where are you? 】
【Go back quickly...Go back quickly...】
【My name is Lin Yi...I am in the classroom...My name is Lin Yi...】
【Hey hey...】
< br/> Seemingly hearing Lin Yi's thoughts, the humanoid sculptures also showed their cards, and started to jeer and boo, like countless ghosts hanging in the wilderness, shouting and laughing, their voices rising and falling like a demonic sound.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and endured the strong wind, trying to get rid of the noise, but he couldn't isolate it.
He looked at Wei Liang's retreating figure, and finally crouched down on the steps helplessly.
But at this moment, as he touched the steps, he suddenly had a huge inspiration!
He thought of something that could be used as an anchor!
This anchor does not need to know where he is or his identity information. No, this may not be an anchor at all, but it can take him out of here!
