Chapter 524 [Don’t try to understand how the elevator works! ]

Although Lin Yi was very confident that there would be no accidents in the elevator, he always had a sudden sense of uneasiness in his heart - ever since he entered the elevator, even though it was a very bright place, he had a sense of claustrophobia from time to time, as if he was trapped in some dark place.

“Bang, bang, bang… bang, bang, bang…”

The elevator, which was running at high speed, shook violently again, just like an outdoor hanging basket being blown by a strong wind.

Lin Yi's body swayed slightly, and he subconsciously held onto the inner wall of the elevator.

Just as his palm touched the inner wall of the elevator, the vibration of the elevator car was immediately fed back to his perception through his palm, and he felt that the elevator was twisting!
No, not "being", but "the elevator itself seems to be distorted"!
What was going on? He carefully observed the inner wall of the elevator. To his naked eye, there was nothing wrong with the elevator. Why was the tactile feedback different from the visual feedback?
He couldn't help but release his perception. His pupils were filled with brilliant golden light. "Visual Insight" was quietly activated, and the grid lines in the auxiliary perception field were gradually spread over 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 actually a square cabin, but a completely irregular surreal geometric body.

The grid lines appear as countless irregular wrinkled lines on the inner wall of the elevator. Some protruding places look like stalactite caves, while some places look like bumpy potholes.

What's even more strange is that as the elevator runs, these wrinkled lines are still wriggling, and seem to be changing their shape every moment.

He hesitated for a moment, trying to penetrate his perception out of the elevator...

He really did.

Moreover, his perception penetrated out easily like penetrating sand, but at the moment his perception penetrated out...

A "swish" sounded in his soul and a white light flashed through his mind. The next moment, an intense stinging sensation that could not be described in words penetrated fiercely into his consciousness!
"Ugh!" Lin Yi subconsciously held his forehead and couldn't help but groan.

The part of his perception that extended to the outside of the elevator was actually wiped out!

So neat and simple!

How do you describe that feeling?

It's like the drawn lines were erased by an eraser...

No, it should be like his head was stretched to the guillotine, and then it should have fallen down and been chopped off by the guillotine, but instead the executioner violently tore off his head!
Violent erasure!

Yes, that’s the feeling!
"What's the situation with the elevator corridor? I can't even extend my perception out!"

At this moment, a key rule in the "Dormitory Building Rules" suddenly emerged in his mind!
Don’t try to understand how elevators work!

Don’t try to understand how elevators work!

Don’t try to understand how elevators work!

"Damn..." Lin Yi secretly spat in his heart. He was now a habitual offender who had "violated" many rules. He was one of those people who "became bold and skilled at certain times because he understood some of the rules". But now he still had to abide by the rules honestly.

He seemed to see the "Dormitory Rules" turned into a person, looking at him sneerfully.

My rules are above yours, kid!
As it said this, the Dormitory Rules gave him a crab claw gesture.

Although he was humiliated, Lin Yi didn't dare to try again. He could only stay in the elevator and adjust his pace while waiting for it to stop at the 14th floor.

Anyway, after reaching the 14th floor, there is still a short distance to go.

Theoretically speaking, with his current cognitive ability and pollution level, walking that road should be a foregone conclusion, but some necessary psychological preparation is still required.

At this moment, Lin Yi was surprised to find that the elevator began to slow down.

After about 15 seconds, the elevator gradually stopped.

"Ding!"

With a clear prompt tone, the elevator finally stopped steadily, and Lin Yi quickly looked at the floor display.

"14".

"call--"

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he finally arrived!

The whole process can be said to be uneventful, but he knew that the last hurdle before returning to the dormitory was about to come!

He took a deep breath and waited for the elevator door to open, just like waiting for a blind box to be opened.

come on!

Let me see what kind of little surprise you give me this time!

As expected, the elevator vibrated slightly, and the slight friction sound was transmitted along the box to Lin Yi's feet.

"Liangzi, are you awake now?" he asked in a low voice.

Wei Liang did not respond, his body still as cold as a stone.

Without getting a response, Lin Yi understood what Wei Liang meant. He gradually narrowed his eyes and his breathing became much slower.

He carried Wei Liang tighter on his back, bent over slightly, and slowly tensed his body like a bow being drawn.

“Bang…clang!”

The elevator door slowly opened, and a familiar chilly atmosphere accompanied by a white airflow slowly seeped in from the crack of the door.

A dim corridor appeared in front of him. The carpet was filled with a faint forest-white scent, and the entire corridor was shrouded in mist, as if someone had thrown a few pieces of dry ice in.

Lin Yi silently recalled the "Dormitory Building Rules" in his heart...

[The interior of the dormitory building is a closed environment. There is absolutely no fog or wind.

If you find fog around you, the air starts to get humid, the ground becomes tilted, twisted, stretched, or other abnormal conditions in the corridor, please tear off the dotted line on the side of the dormitory building rules immediately, hold the card hidden in the rules together with your student ID card, and then keep repeating your name and student ID number in your mind, and remind yourself that you are in the dormitory building and will soon reach the dormitory. 】

Lin Yi took out the "Dormitory Rules", tore off the dotted line on the side, stuffed it into his pocket and held it, while using his other hand to hold Wei Liang behind him.

"I'm in the dormitory building and will be there soon..." He said in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to the air.

Then he took a step and slowly walked out of the elevator.

"call……"

He stepped forward, and the air around his feet dissipated like ripples, revealing the brightly colored surface of the carpet.

"Bang...clang!" The elevator door closed quietly but did not move.

No one called the elevator, and it seemed to stay there and not go to the next floor.

Lin Yi walked out of the elevator and walked slowly along the curved passage.

Mist floated up and down around him, and strange air currents squirmed like materialized tentacles. From time to time, there were some calling sounds coming from the doors on both sides, as if calling his name, or telling some terrible whispers.

As he walked, Lin Yi suddenly felt his hair stand on end. He seemed to sense some strange figures appearing around him...

“Rustle… rustle…”

Under the light of the corridor, Lin Yi discovered that some figures had appeared beside him at some point. These figures moved like zombies, staggering beside him, but no matter how fast or slow he walked, they did not go beyond his position and just followed him silently.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and released his perception at the same time, silently covering the entire corridor.

Compared to the terrifying elevator, the corridor was much more normal, and he focused all his attention on those dark and twisting figures.

When he saw this, he was immediately surprised.

There is no doubt that these things are all nocturnal species and pseudo-humans. Some of the nocturnal species are even "incompletely transformed". Their bodies have human frames but they don't look like humans. Their entire bodies are like jelly, and some parts are even sticky, as if they were covered with a ball of rice cake.

And their faces are all "faceless". They have vague outlines, but their faces are distorted, their eye sockets are sunken, and they have no specific facial features. They are like the models whose bodies are hung with clothes in shopping malls.

What was even more strange was that their faces kept squirming, as if they were trying to copy his and Wei Liang's facial features, but they always melted away just a little bit short of success.

These things were the dirty creatures that had tried to follow him into the classroom before. No one knew how they appeared and disappeared, and they always wandered in the corridor like ghosts.

Lin Yi knew clearly that these things were of low danger to people with sufficient knowledge, and 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.

As they walked, those fake people finally spoke, calling out "classmate...", "classmate...", and some even said things like "wait for me", as if they really wanted to walk with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi said nothing and just kept on walking.

Soon, he arrived at the door of dormitory 1414.

"Liangzi, we're here." Lin Yi spoke slowly and gently patted Wei Liang's hand.

However, Wei Liang remained indifferent.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this moment, the pseudo-people who had been following him silently suddenly seemed to have caught some exciting information, and imitated Lin Yi's tone and cheered excitedly:
【Liangzi, we are here! 】

【Liangzi, we are here! 】

【Ryoko...】

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that these dirty guys who had followed him all the way were not targeting him at all, but... Wei Liang!
Damn it, why didn’t I think of that just now!
Lin Yi was sweating profusely. Of course, he would not be affected by the nocturnal species anymore, but the same could not be said for Wei Liang.

He had no idea what kind of state this zombie-like Wei Liang was in. If he was awakened by the call of a nocturnal creature or a pseudo-human, would that be considered a "response"?

He didn't want to think about it, because he was about to know the answer - but he didn't want to know the answer, so...

He released the hand that was in his trouser pocket, holding his student ID and the dotted line of the "Dormitory Rules", and used it to support Wei Liang, then freed his other hand and reached into his pocket.

He grasped Yu Tong and took it out...

"When the Light Seekers in the Mist see the remains of what they are seeking, will they feel fear, or... madness?"

Yu Tong left Lin Yi's pocket and seemed to have traveled through space and landed in the corridor. Almost at this moment, the pseudo-people behind Lin Yi immediately became frantically agitated, and a feeling of fanaticism immediately spread in the corridor.

[Light…light…]

[Give me... light! Light...]

The pseudo-humans and nocturnal creatures no longer repeated his calls, but instead took action while calling and grabbed Yutong.

"These guys cloaked in fog and chasing light are now trying to snatch the remains of the Laughing Angel!" The behavior of the fake man was within Lin Yi's expectations, but the degree of madness was beyond his imagination.

Lin Yi thought of whale falls, and of course shark dieback is also possible. When some giant creature dies, its bones themselves form part of some huge ecosystem.

The Laughing Angel... maybe his whole body is also a treasure?

sloppy...

Facing the encirclement of the pseudo-people, Lin Yi was actually caught up in a kind of crazy thinking at this moment. The corners of his mouth unconsciously opened into a morbid arc, like a crazy butcher thinking about the uses of various parts of the prey...

But the hand of the fake man that was about to touch his body immediately aroused his thoughts. A hint of "hehehe" laughter came out from the corners of his sickly grinning mouth, and a burning breath gushed out of his body...

The pseudo-people screamed, some retracted their hands, but some continued to probe towards him.

Lin Yi didn't waste any more time. He lit a wisp of ash and injected it into Yu Tong, then threw it deep into the circular corridor.

Despite doing this, he was not worried about the creation of an "Ashebringer of Ashes".

Firstly, the amount of ashes that could be held in the feather pupil was very limited, barely enough to be used as a "fuse";

Secondly, he used the burning ashes to destroy Yutong from the inside. Now Yutong's nature is more like a incendiary bomb. After rolling out, it will ignite the surrounding pseudo-human nocturnal species and burn them to ashes.

Thirdly, the fake person does not have a “framework” that can keep the ashes. Even if it is really ignited, it will only burn out and not burn like a torch.

And because he needed to make sure the dummy could keep up, he didn't throw it out very quickly.

But the strange thing was that when he threw it out, the number of pseudo-people chasing Yu Tong behind him was so terrifying that it was frightening.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the flow of pseudo-humans did not decrease, so Lin Yi did not wait any longer. He called out softly, "Liangzi, we are here...are you okay?"

"Ryoko...?"

He patted Wei Liang's hand gently.

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 Mr. Lin's full name..."
