Chapter 590 Wei Shan Receiving the Lamp
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes lit up, but the fake Wei Liang who said this followed up with "Let the boss die," which made Lin Yi so angry that he almost threw his shoe at him.

No way... Damn it, how come there are several fake Wei Liangs who are so obsessed with their boss's death?!
Is it an attempt to break the ending by killing off a pre-existing character?

But... will this really work?
"No, wait! Wait, wait, wait!" Lin Yi shook his head violently. "How did I get so caught up in this?! Are they trying to plant the idea of ​​'killing the boss' in my mind?!"

"No! Absolutely not!!" Lin Yi resolutely refused.

But after saying only a few words, he sensed a fluctuation in the layer, as if the entire layer was beginning to repel him.

He tried to intensify his immersion in will and perception, but was ultimately thrown out!
The layers in front of me began to shrink in reverse, resembling the wrinkled cerebral cortex, while the pits that had been folded into the layers were restored.

Others cannot observe this kind of layer flipping change, but Lin Yi can feel it. From a visual perspective, it's hard to describe; it feels like being flipped out of a pit...

Fortunately, no one else can see it.

When he returned to the real world, he found that the baseball cap was still stuck there, but when he squinted and looked at it more closely, he found that the baseball cap had a semi-transparent texture similar to a grinning angel.

I didn't notice before, but this baseball cap is stuck on the layer?!
He unlocked the door from the inside and walked out quite naturally.

"Old Lin..."

A chilling murmur came from behind the door.

"Let her die..."

"Let her die..."

The door closed naturally due to inertia, and the sound was finally drowned out.

Lin Yi glanced down at the time.

14: 26.

"I spent so much time in the bathroom, but less than 10 minutes have passed."

"The time flow rate is indeed different in that pit layer."

However, Lin Yi still rubbed his temples.

Because physical education class time is from 14:30 to 15:30.

Although he doesn't need to strictly adhere to class times, he still plans to arrive at the gymnasium on time as much as possible.

Being late... I wonder what the consequences will be.

The rules state that "you must attend physical education class," so even if you are "late," it should still count as attending class, right?

He promptly washed his hands, then left the bathroom and swiftly returned to Class 2, Group B to find Wei Liang.

But as soon as he turned the corner, he spotted Wei Shan.

Wei Shan had already left Class 3 of Group B and was waiting for him by the steps.

Upon seeing Wei Shan, Lin Yi subconsciously recalled the scene of Wei Shan piloting the vehicle. Although there were still many details he wanted to ask Wei Shan, he first pushed open the classroom door.

When Wei Shan saw Lin Yi, and then the old kerosene lamp he was carrying as a trophy, he remained calm. After all, he had helped acquire it, so there was no need for him to show any feigned surprise upon seeing the actual item.

As soon as the door opened, Lin Yi found that the classroom was already empty except for Wei Liang.

For some reason, seeing this scene, Lin Yi subconsciously recalled the image of Wei Liang's horde of corpses, and for the first time, he felt a pang of sadness.

His attention then fell on the baseball cap Wei Liang was wearing.

This baseball cap is exactly the same as the one in the slot layer!
Lin Yi was almost bewitched. Could this baseball cap also be some kind of extraordinary creation?!

He took a deep breath, composed himself, and called out from the doorway, "Liangzi, it's getting late, time for PE class!"

Wei Liang, who was reading a book, looked up at Lin Yi when he heard him call out.

"Damn it! Old Lin, you actually know to come and call me now!"

"I thought you drowned in the toilet!"

Wei Liang got up cursing, tidied up the H comics he was holding and put them aside, then picked up his backpack and walked out of the classroom.

Lin Yi pursed his lips but did not answer.

Before long, Wei Liang arrived in front of Lin Yi and immediately noticed the old kerosene lamp in Lin Yi's hand. He couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "Damn it, Lin, did you go to steal a lamp? No wonder it took you so long."

Lin Yi's lips twitched violently, but he was too weak to argue, and said directly, "It was stolen, it was stolen, what's your opinion?"

"I have some brilliant idea, but you stole such a big treasure, why didn't you just pick one up for your old brother?" Wei Liang said with dissatisfaction.

Lin Yi quickly replied, "I only managed to get one too."

"Looks like it's in high demand. Well, we can't exactly steal from the security guards, can we..." Wei Liang said, striking a pose like a drug lord. "But then again, is it really okay for you to just casually carry such a big thing around like that? I remember there are quite a few of these lights in the stadium. Are you just going to carry it over like that... Aren't you afraid the boss will think you stole it?"

Lin Yi sighed, "Then I can't just stuff it in my bag, can I?"

His bag was crammed full of tomatoes; if you stuffed an old kerosene lamp in there too, who knows what kind of extraordinary reaction might occur.

“That’s true…” Wei Liang nodded seriously, then suddenly turned to look at Wei Shan, “It seems like there’s nothing in Wei Sang’s bag, right?”

Wei Shan paused for a moment: "Uh... there aren't any tomatoes."

"Hey, let's put it in Wei Sang's bag first," Wei Liang said mysteriously. "It's always better to carry it in your hand..."

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, and seeing Wei Liang say this, he also looked at Wei Shan and handed the lamp over.

"Then... I'll keep it for now?" Wei Shan glanced at Lin Yi with some hesitation.

"Uh... what's there to worry about? Liangzi already said to just take it for now, and I'll ask the boss later before giving it to me," Lin Yi said.

Wei Shan nodded and said, "Okay."

He then took the old kerosene lamp from Lin Yi's hand.

The moment Wei Shan touched the old kerosene lamp, a faint spark suddenly appeared from the lamp, which had long since gone out due to the depletion of its supernatural power.

"Huh?!" Lin Yi was suddenly startled and turned around instantly, but the spark had already disappeared.

"Just now...did something flash by? I think I saw a tiny bit of light!" he exclaimed.

Wei Shan looked somewhat confused: "What?"

"Didn't you see?" he asked, looking at Wei Liang. Wei Liang shook his head.

Lin Yi was immediately confused.

Wei Liang could get away with dodging the issue, but if Wei Shan also said he didn't see it, then he probably really didn't see it.

"Never mind, let's just put it away for now," Lin Yi said helplessly. In any case, once they got to the stadium and found their boss, many problems would be solved.

Wei Shan nodded, took off his backpack, and stuffed the old kerosene lamp inside.

……

X023年5月11日，14：35。

Lin Yi, Wei Liang, and Wei Shan finally left Building B of the teaching building and began walking towards the gymnasium area.

As soon as he stepped down the stairs, Lin Yi seemed to sense something and looked up at the gloomy sky.

Above the thick clouds, the inverted art building was faintly visible, and the outline of the black sea overlapped strangely with the sky above the campus.

A thought inexplicably popped into Lin Yi's mind: "Could the sky and the sea, in terms of layers, be the folding and expansion of a certain region?"

Like...like that toilet stall you see in the bathroom?

He applied what he learned immediately, making connections right away.

Who says they can't be like frogs in a well, with their limited perspective?

"What are you daydreaming about?" Wei Liang patted his shoulder and asked, "Are you going to PE class or not?"

"Uh, let's go! Let's go, let's go right now! I was spacing out just now!" Lin Yi immediately snapped out of his reverie and said somewhat embarrassedly.

Wei Liang immediately revealed a disdainful expression: "You're about to see the boss and you can still get distracted. I'm truly impressed."

Lin Yi smacked the back of his head: "Isn't that... a little slow on the uptake?"

"Hey, let's go! You don't want to see the boss, but I want to see Xia Lian!" Wei Liang said as he walked down the steps.

"Hey, who said I didn't want to see the boss!" Lin Yi called out and quickly followed with Wei Shan.

At this time, almost none of the normal students were still in the teaching building area. Even those who were in a daze headed to the gymnasium right on time.

They are just numb, not suicidal.

Above the area near the stadium, the clouds appeared thicker than elsewhere, and the brightness of the entire world seemed to have decreased significantly.

Despite this, Lin Yi did not sense any abnormality or pressure emanating from the stadium area.

This situation, instead of putting his mind at ease, made him feel very uneasy.

The less he could sense it, the more it indicated that the stadium area was kept highly secret, to the point that not even the slightest strange smell could escape.

Following the cobblestone mountain path past the corner, at a point where the teaching building was almost out of sight, Lin Yi and his companions finally saw the boundary between the teaching building area and the gymnasium area, which was the "Teaching Building-001" lamppost and the sign in front of the gymnasium.

Because of the signage, the gymnasium area on campus is different from other areas.

Although there are signs in the cafeteria area, they are located in front of the cafeteria, and you can reach the cafeteria immediately after passing the signs. However, the signs for the gymnasium are located at the "entrance" of the gymnasium area, and you still need to walk a long way to reach the gymnasium after passing the signs.

Lin Yi subconsciously stopped at the dividing line, a sense of foreboding growing stronger in his heart.

Wei Liang and Wei Shan also stopped silently.

"Hopefully things won't get too bad..." Lin Yi murmured, preparing himself for the worst before stepping into the stadium area.

The moment I entered the stadium area, the whole world seemed to darken, giving me the illusion that I had walked from afternoon to the beginning of night.

"Why is it so dark?" Lin Yi looked around and felt a chill run down his spine at the sight before him.

Wei Shan's face gradually darkened, and his honest smile was replaced by a somber and sinister expression, as if the personality within him that disliked confinement and darkness had emerged.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, activated "Vision Insight", and his sensory tentacles spread out in real time, sensing everything around him wave after wave like radar.

"Dark?" Wei Liang's surprised voice suddenly rang in Lin Yi's ears. "It's just a little dark, how is it 'dark'?"

Lin Yi was taken aback. Could it be that he had misread it?
He then hurried to the sign, grabbed it, and closed his eyes...

The moment he closed his eyes, his sensory tentacles began to collapse rapidly due to the lack of "vision," as if a bizarre and terrifying world was about to emerge from the ground, and the sound of wind carrying eerie calls began to swirl rapidly in his ears.

But his will was unwavering, and he was not disturbed by the sounds at all. He simply closed his eyes and concentrated for a few seconds before opening them again.

This time, as soon as he opened his eyes, he found that the almost dark stadium area he had just seen had been restored to "light." Although it had been restored by a small amount, it had at least changed from "darkness" to "dark clouds that looked like it was going to rain."

"Did I accidentally see another layer just now?" Lin Yi scratched the back of his head and looked at Wei Shan suspiciously.

Wei Shan's performance just now was similar to his.

When Lin Yi noticed Wei Shan staring at him, he scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly, "I was just following your instincts. You've led me astray."

"Well, you, Wei-san, are you going to recite it to my face right in front of me?!" Lin Yi sighed, speechless. "Never mind, it's alright, it's alright."

"Hehehe..." Wei Shan chuckled awkwardly, but as soon as he turned his head, the simple and honest smile on his face disappeared, replaced by the frenzied look of a savage beast sensing danger.

He cautiously sniffed at some scent in the air, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, like a malevolent god.

Lin Yi was about to let go of the notice board when he suddenly noticed the rules beside him:

[...If you look up and see any other buildings, especially a castle in a Western architectural style, please look around until you find a gymnasium or a school building...]

This rule corresponds to the way to deal with abnormal weather on the road to the stadium, but he inexplicably noticed the word "look up".

These two seemed to possess some kind of demonic power, attacking his vision.

It wasn't for any other reason, but because... he discovered that since last night, he had been in that strange state where he could see the art building as soon as he looked up.

even……

He slowly raised his head and saw the illusory outline of the art building above the dark sky, which was as heavy as a wet cotton quilt.

...and still is.

"Could it be that when this sign says 'look up,' it really means 'look up'?"
