Chapter 524 [Don’t try to understand how the elevator works! 】
Even though Lin Yi was very confident that there would be no accidents in the elevator, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart - ever since he entered the elevator, which was obviously a very bright place, he had felt claustrophobic discomfort from time to time, as if he was trapped in a dark place.
Lin Yi's body swayed slightly and he subconsciously held the inner wall of the elevator.
Just when his palm touched the inner wall of the elevator, the trembling sensation in the elevator car immediately fed back to his perception along his palm. He felt that the elevator was twisting!
No, not "is", but "the elevator itself seems to be twisted"!
What's going on? He carefully observed the inner wall of the elevator. To the naked eye, there was nothing wrong with the elevator at all. Why was the tactile feedback different from the visual feedback?
He couldn't help but release his perception. His pupils were filled with bright golden light. "Visual Insight" quietly started, and the grid lines of the auxiliary perception field gradually covered the inner wall of the elevator.
A strange scene appeared. When the grid lines covered the inner wall of the elevator, Lin Yi discovered that the elevator was not really a boxy car, but a completely irregular and surreal geometry.
The grid lines present countless irregular fold lines on the inner wall of the elevator. Some of the protruding places look like stalactite caves, while other places look like uneven paths.
What’s even more weird is that as the elevator runs, these fold lines are still crawling, seemingly changing their shape every moment.
He hesitated and tried to penetrate his perception out of the elevator...
He really did it.
And, his perception seeped out as easily as sand, but the moment his perception seeped out...
There was a "swish!" sound in his soul, and a white light flashed in his mind. The next moment, a strong tingling feeling that could not be described in words fiercely penetrated into his consciousness!
"Uh!" Lin Yi subconsciously held his forehead and couldn't help but make a sound.
His part of his perception that extended to the outside of the elevator was directly erased!
It’s so crisp and neat!
How do you describe that feeling?
It's like the drawn lines were erased with an eraser...
No, it should be like his head was put on the guillotine, and then it should have fallen down and been struck by the guillotine, but instead the executioner violently ripped off his head!
Violent erasure!
Yes, that’s what it feels like!
"What's the situation in the elevator corridor? Even the perception can't be extended at all!"
At this moment, a certain key rule in the "Doormitory Code" suddenly appeared in his mind!
【Don't try to understand how the elevator works! 】
【Don’t try to understand how the elevator works! 】
【Don’t try to understand how the elevator works! 】
"Damn..." Lin Yi secretly spat in his mind. He was now a habitual offender who had "violated" many rules. He belonged to the category of "people who are good at skills are bold at certain times because they understand some of the rules." But now he still had to obey the rules honestly.
He seemed to see the "Dorm Rules" turned into a person, looking at him sarcastically.
Child, my rules are above yours!
Humbling, "Dorm Rules" also gestured to him with a crab claw.
Suffering the consequences, Lin Yi did not dare to try again. He could only hold on to the elevator and adjust his rhythm while waiting for the elevator to stop on the 14th floor.
In any case, after reaching the 14th floor, there is still a short way to go.
Theoretically speaking, with his current cognitive ability and pollution level, it should be a sure thing to take that route, but some necessary mental construction still needs to be done.
At this moment, Lin Yi was surprised to find that the elevator began to slow down.
After about 15 seconds, the elevator gradually came to a stop.
14.
Lin Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, he was finally at the place!
The whole process can be said to be uneventful, but he knew that the last hurdle before returning to the dormitory was coming soon!
He took a deep breath and waited for the elevator to open, just like waiting for the blind box to be opened.
Come on!
Let me see what kind of little surprise you have for me this time!
As expected, the elevator vibrated slightly, and the slight friction sound was transmitted along the box to Lin Yi's feet.
"Ryoko, are you awake now?" he asked softly.
Wei Liang did not respond, his body was still as cold as a stone.
When there was no response, Lin Yi knew what Wei Liang meant. He gradually narrowed his eyes and his breathing became much slower.
He held Wei Liang tighter on his back, bowed slightly, and his body slowly tightened, like a bow being drawn.
institutions的哐...锵!‖
The elevator door slowly opened, and the familiar cold breath slowly seeped in from the crack in the door along with the forest-white air flow.
The dim corridor appeared in front of him, with a faint forest-white atmosphere permeating the carpet. The entire corridor was shrouded in mist, as if someone had thrown a few pieces of dry ice in.
Lin Yi silently recalled the "Regulations of the Dormitory Building" in his mind...
[The interior of the dormitory building is a closed environment, and there is absolutely no fog or wind noise.
If you find abnormal conditions such as fog, air becoming humid, or the ground becoming tilted, twisted, and stretched in the corridor, please immediately tear off the dotted line on the side of the dormitory building code, hold the card hidden in the code laminated together with your student ID card in your hand, and then recite your name and student ID number silently in your heart, and remind yourself, "You are in the dormitory building, and you will walk to the dormitory soon." 】
Lin Yi took out the "Regulations of the Dormitory Building", tore off the dotted line on the side, stuffed it into his pocket and held it while using his other hand to steady Wei Liang behind his back.
"I am in the dormitory building, and I will walk to the dormitory soon..." He said softly, as if he was speaking to himself, but also as if he was speaking to the air.
Then he took steps and slowly walked out of the elevator.
<
The elevator door closed quietly, but did not move.
No one summoned the elevator, it seemed to stay here and not go to the next floor.
Lin Yi walked out of the elevator and walked slowly along the curved passage.
The mist floated up and down around him, and the strange air currents wriggled like substantial tentacles. From time to time, some calls came from the portals on both sides, as if calling his name, or telling some terrible whisper.
Walking, Lin Yi suddenly felt his hair standing on end. He seemed to feel some strange figures appearing around him...
"Shashasha...shashasha..." Under the illumination of the corridor lights, Lin Yi found that some figures had appeared around him. These figures were moving like zombies, staggering beside him, but no matter whether he walked fast or slow, they did not exceed his position, and they just followed silently.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and at the same time released his senses, covering the entire corridor silently.
Compared to the terrifying elevator room, the corridor was much more normal, and he focused entirely on those dark and writhing figures.
When he saw it, he was immediately startled.
There is no doubt that all of these things are nocturnal species and pseudo-human beings. Some nocturnal species even have "incomplete transformations". Their bodies have human frames, but do not look like humans. Their whole bodies are jelly-like, and some places are even slimier, like being covered in a ball of rice cakes.
And their faces all have a "faceless" appearance. They have vague outlines, but their faces are distorted, their eye sockets are sunken, and they have no specific facial features, just like the bare bodies of models hanging clothes in shopping malls.
What’s even weirder is that their faces keep squirming, as if they are trying to copy his and Wei Liang’s facial features, but they always almost melt away.
These things were the dirty things that tried to follow him into the classroom before. He didn't know how they appeared and disappeared, but they always lingered in the corridors like ghosts.
Lin Yi knew in his heart that these things were extremely dangerous to people with sufficient knowledge. As long as they did not "talk" to them, they would not be disturbed. Although they looked very dangerous, they were safe most of the time.
While walking, the dummies finally spoke, calling out "Classmate...", "Classmate...", and some even said "Wait for me" and the like, as if they really wanted to go with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi remained silent and just kept on going.
Not long after, he had arrived at the door of dormitory No. 1414.
"Liangzi, we're here." Lin Yi spoke slowly and gently patted Wei Liang's palm.
However, Wei Liang was indifferent.
Lin Yi was startled for a moment, and an ominous premonition immediately arose in his heart.
At this moment, the dummies who had been following him silently suddenly thought they had captured some exciting information. They imitated Lin Yi's tone and cheered excitedly:
[Liangzi, we are here! 】
【Liangzi, we are here! 】
【Liangzi...】
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized that the target of these dirty things who followed him was not him at all, but... Wei Liang!
Damn it, why didn’t you think of that just now!
Lin Yi was sweating profusely. Of course he would no longer be affected by the nocturnal species, but Wei Liang was not sure.
He had no idea what kind of state the zombie-like Wei Liang was in. If he was awakened by the call of a nocturnal species or a pseudo-person, would it be considered a "response"?
He didn't want to think about this question because he was about to know the answer - but he didn't want to know the answer, so...
He released the palm that was in his trouser pocket holding the student ID card and the dotted line of the "Residential Building Rules" to support Wei Liang, then freed his other hand and reached into his pocket.
He held the feather pupil and took it out...
"When the fog-covered light chaser sees the remains of the thing he is looking for, will he feel fear or... crazy?"
Yu Tong left Lin Yi's pocket, as if he had traveled through space and landed in the corridor. Almost at this moment, the dummies behind Lin Yi immediately started to stir crazily, and a feverish feeling immediately spread in the corridor.
【Light...Light...】
【Give me...light! Light……】
The puppets and night-walkers no longer imitated his call repeatedly, but while calling, they directly moved their hands and grabbed Yutong.
"These guys who are wearing fog and chasing light, now actually want to snatch the remains of the Laughing Angel!" The performance of the puppet was within Lin Yi's expectation, but the degree of madness exceeded his imagination.
Lin Yi thought of the death of whales. Of course, the death of sharks is not impossible. When a huge creature dies, its bones form a link in a huge ecology.
The Laughing Angel...maybe his whole body is a treasure?
It's sloppy...
Facing the surroundings of the dummies, Lin Yi fell into a kind of crazy thinking at this moment. The corners of his mouth opened in a sickly arc unconsciously, like a crazy butcher thinking about the use of each part of the prey...
But the hand of the dummy was about to touch his body. The palm immediately aroused his thoughts, and a "hehehe" laughter came from the corner of his sickly grinning mouth, and the hot breath spurted out from his body...
The puppets let out a scream, some retracted their hands, but some continued to probe towards him.
Lin Yi stopped ink, lit a wisp of ashes and injected it into Yu Tong, and then threw it deep into the circular corridor.
Even though he did this, he was not worried about creating an "Ashes Apostle" as a result.
Firstly, the ash that can be carried in Yutong is really limited, almost only a trace of wire used as a "lead";
Secondly, he destroyed Yutong from the inside with ignited ashes. Now Yutong's nature is more like an incendiary bomb. After rolling out, it will ignite and burn the surrounding pseudo-human nocturnal species.
Thirdly, the dummy does not have a "framework" that is sufficient for the ashes to stay. Even if it is really lit, it will only burn out and will not burn like a torch.
And because he needed to ensure that the dummy kept up, he didn't throw it out very fast.
But the strange thing is that after he threw it out, the number of dummies chasing Yutong behind him was terrifying and frightening.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the flow of people in the dummy had not slowed down, so Lin Yi waited no longer. He called softly: "Liangzi, we are here...are you okay?"
"Liangzi...?"
Wei Liang's palm quickly heated up and immediately returned to normal temperature. Then, a subtle voice sounded in Lin Yi's ears.
"No prize quiz, what is Teacher Lin's full name..."
