【I am Lin Yi!】

【I am Lin Yi!】

【I am Lin Yi…】

They roared and hissed, emitting hysterical roars, as if seizing an opportunity to ascend.

Finally, one of the humanoid sculptures obtained the student ID card, and then immediately opened its mouth and swallowed it.

【I am Lin Yi! I am Lin Yi!】

It shouted excitedly, its eyes bulging, and the smile on its face stretched to the roots of its ears.

It crawled back to the light little by little, and under "his" horrified gaze, countless green smokes emerged as if from steaming water. As the smoke dissipated, its pure white sculpture form began to slowly wriggle and reshape, and its figure gradually turned into "his" appearance…

Finally, it turned into an identical "him."

【I am Lin Yi, my student ID number is X0230506098…】

It tilted its head, revealing a grim smile. Apart from the fierce, violent, and manic facial expressions, it was almost identical to Lin Yi.

“Boom—”

The scene in Lin Yi's mind came to an abrupt end, freezing on a future abstract painting with extremely strong style.

In the black sky, the shadow of a black moon hung. The ground was filled with overlapping dark green mists. The blurred outline of the mountains and fields wrapped around the edge of the world like a snake. Dimly lit lampposts were scattered in the dark green world, appearing and disappearing intermittently…

In the center of that painting, a dim lamppost supported a circular area with its light. "He," with a look of horror, retreated in terror like a girl being approached by a demon…

The "him" transformed from the humanoid sculpture was surrounded by a green aura, holding a tattered student ID card in his hand, revealing a rampant smile like a nightmare clown.

That painting was extremely similar to religious murals from the Renaissance, as if it combined the aura of Da Vinci and Monet's impressionistic style, but the entire picture had an extremely strong taste of cult.

In the mist closest to the lamppost, countless humanoid sculpture heads surged. Each face seemed to be engraved with the kind of smile that Judas had in The Last Supper. They sneered and whispered, and their wriggling corners of their lips seemed to be chanting some kind of eerie tune, as if celebrating the humanoid sculpture's plundering of "his" identity, or as if praising some kind of descending ritual:

【「I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome!」】

…

The sound waves surged, as if penetrating and pouring into Lin Yi's brain.

That eerie, painful cry seemed to begin to transcend Lin Yi's speculation, like a quantum-state curse of causality. When Lin Yi "knew" it, it also "knew" Lin Yi.

【「I AvgruNnen… av tKe og mrke… jaGer forTapte… Sjeler… fanTome!」】

…

Sitting in the classroom, Lin Yi was aware that he was in the classroom, but like daydreaming in class, his mind had already drifted to the picture in his mind, and no matter how he wanted to withdraw his thoughts, he couldn't do it!

At this moment, he seemed to be in a state of "I know I'm daydreaming but I can't stop."

And that painful cry gradually sounded like the endless sea breeze blowing on the rock wall, constantly echoing in his mind. The sound became more and more violent, more and more evil, and more and more chaotic…

“Boom—”

Lin Yi felt that his brain was about to explode. He seemed to be accepting some kind of knowledge that transcended "all the concepts he knew." This kind of thing, even if it was just a drop in the ocean, could fill his brain capacity!

It's like a magician's apprentice 【playing with magic he doesn't understand yet】.

He realized that in the face of such a deduction, the things he was currently adapted to were not enough at all, and the cognition he had overwritten was not enough to support his depiction of such a scene!

He crossed the border before the territory of the "Novice Village" had expanded enough to carry this picture!

He even knew clearly that he had crossed the border, but he just couldn't come back.

“External force! I need a little external force!”

He needed a little external force!

So he used his memory to find Wei Liang's location, and then, like a stroke patient, used all his strength to elbow him hard!

“Ouch—”

A pig-killing howl came from that direction.

“Lao Lin, are you trying to cut off my kidneys?! ”

Wei Liang jumped three feet high, and flashed away sideways, as agile as a monkey from Huaguo Mountain.

But he immediately realized that something was wrong with Lin Yi, and quickly supported his waist with one hand and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder.

“Damn, so cold? Why are you sweating so much, Lao Lin?”

He quickly shook Lin Yi, pulling him back from the painful cry.

Thanks to the help of external force, the painful cry in Lin Yi's mind was interrupted, and then it disappeared on the spot.

A layer of cold sweat had already appeared on Lin Yi's back, and his whole body leaned back as if he was exhausted, giving all his weight to the back of the chair.

“Phew…”

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

「So… humanoid sculptures, night-walking species, non-human units, these strange units, attack us in order to seize our student ID cards.」

「Just like on the road back from the cafeteria before, those humanoid sculptures later exuded malice towards me, but despite this, Li Huiyuan didn't feel any threat from them.」

「Because after Li Huiyuan lost her student ID card, to a certain extent, she already possessed some similar 'characteristics' to them, and to a certain extent, she was sinking towards their kind.」

「And once they use the student ID card, they can slowly usurp our corresponding identity.」

「The student commemorative coin is also like this!」

「The student commemorative coin that allows art students to anchor their identity is also the reason why art students become the target of humanoid sculptures!」

The art student code reads: 【If you encounter a sculpture while using the elevator, please discard the student commemorative coin in time before being attacked, and after returning to the art building, go to the art office between 0:00 and 6:00 to report the loss to the art teacher.】

Discarding the student commemorative coin is like losing the student ID card, which is equivalent to throwing out a piece of meat to attract a hungry pack of wolves, which is a lizard's tail-breaking tactic.

But there are still some problems here that make Lin Yi's initial speculation untenable. For example, the cafeteria code and the gymnasium code are not identity certificates. Why is it dangerous to take them away?

Of course, 【carrying the cafeteria code and gymnasium code away will be attacked by strange units such as humanoid sculptures】This is also his speculation, and if this is true, then does it mean that 【this type of material has a strong attraction to strange units such as humanoid sculptures】?

Is snatching identity certificates to seize identity only one reason, and there are deeper reasons?

「Material… material… material…」

Lin Yi repeatedly pondered this word, and subconsciously reached into his pocket to stroke his student ID card.

The student ID card and the student commemorative coin are actually very similar. Both have a thorn flower wreath surrounding them, but the back of the student ID card is not engraved with the World Tree, but with an ordinary school pattern, which is consistent with the S City University logo on the 《S City University Experience Recruitment Book》.

But this logo seems to only be displayed to ordinary experience students, and whether it is the teacher code or the art department code, all have the World Tree pattern. This sometimes makes Lin Yi feel confused. The World Tree is not a symbol of the East. Why would S City University use this as a logo?

Of course, this is just a doubt; he is still pondering the material of the student ID.

While stroking the student ID, he speculated about its material composition, his gaze drifting to the seemingly chalk-like, but actually gypsum-like, messages on the blackboard.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he was jolted, as if struck by lightning in the pitch-black night.

"I understand!"

"Just like turning from a heart into a tomato, and then from a tomato into a gypsum-like substance!"

"The material used to make student IDs, student commemorative coins, and book covers is also transformed from something through some special means!"

"So, besides wanting to plunder identities, they also want to eat the student IDs... like eating tomatoes?"

A scene of the green-aproned chef eating Li Huiyuan's student ID flashed in Lin Yi's mind. He initially thought it was to prevent Li Huiyuan from retrieving it, but now it seems that this "eating student ID" behavior is literal!

[You really eat it?] A dark meme directly popped up.

"Damn... if the student ID material is special, does it come with pollution?!"

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

"No... way...?"

He really wanted to take out the student ID to see. If this thing really came with pollution, then when his vision entered that black and white, overexposed state, he would definitely be able to see some clues!

For example, would the student ID emit green smoke?

Next time he enters that state, he has to find a way to take a look at the student ID!

The latest chapters are on 69shuba!

Lin Yi thought to himself.

At that time, he only needs to take a look to verify the accuracy of this guess.

He calmed himself down and then glanced at the time.

7:46 PM.

"That deduction and thinking just now actually took me half an hour?"

He recovered from his surprise and suddenly noticed that Wei Liang had somehow acquired a second-dimensional loli photobook...

"When did you get this?"

"Just now!" Wei Liang rubbed his waist and pouted, "Old Lin, is it necessary to stab my waist just because I secretly took a beautiful girl's photobook and didn't get you a silk stocking collection?"

"Besides, 45 minutes is like a year for a gentleman as pure as jade like me. What's wrong with looking at some lewd treasures?"

"Don't insult the words 'pure as jade'."

"Please, I'm not the first one to insult these words." Wei Liang rolled his eyes. "So, were you okay just now?"

"I'm fine now. I'll pay attention next time." Lin Yi shook his head slightly, still shaken.

The deduced scene felt incredibly real, like being there. The "he" inside wasn't him, but he habitually used himself when deducing.

"Am I overthinking it, or is that really the case?"

After turning around, one would be pounced on by a humanoid statue, plundered of their student ID, their identity stolen, and then... he didn't know what came after.

He couldn't deduce it.

Lin Yi's deduction was actually traceable. He combined the various factors such as Li Huiyuan's encounter with the humanoid spider-shaped green-aproned chef, the mist invasion in the convenience store, and the special nature of the student ID, and "profiled" this scene by supplementing some fragments with his imagination.

The realism was very strong, and the truthfulness... Lin Yi believed it was almost spot on.

Because he even heard the painful cries, which clearly meant he had touched on a certain truth.

Wei Liang flipped through the photobook for a while and then returned it to the bookshelf area.

During the half hour that Lin Yi was deducing, he actually went to the bookshelf area without disturbing Lin Yi.

By the time Wei Liang returned the book, the time had reached 7:53 PM.

The classroom at this moment had become much quieter, and those hesitant trial students seemed to have made their respective decisions.

There were only seven minutes left until the homeroom teacher - 040 issued the ultimatum, and the atmosphere in these last seven minutes was extremely anxious. The entire classroom was like a hot pot, and the trial students were like ants on a hot pot, gradually becoming anxious.

"Tick, tock..."

The pendulum on the wall clock swung unhurriedly, and the flowing time rubbed against everyone's chest like sand.

Finally, the time came to 8:00 PM.

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore!" A trial student who had been named by the homeroom teacher rushed out at the moment the time arrived, grabbed the doorknob, and then forcefully opened the door!

"Click..."

Before the door could be fully opened, the dense fog outside the classroom poured in directly from the crack in the door, mixed with the mountain breeze, like cold water pouring over his head.

This person's agitated energy instantly solidified. Looking at the rolling fog outside the classroom and feeling the mysterious and strange aura permeating the area shrouded in haze, his heart instantly beat a retreat.

"It, it seems... staying in the classroom overnight isn't impossible..."

He swallowed deeply, his whole body stiff and at a loss. His previous arrogance vanished as soon as he faced the fog.

In comparison, the warm classroom seemed to be beckoning him like a quilt, telling him why he would go out and take risks when there was such a safe place to stay.

He hesitated again and again, and then gritted his teeth and retreated.

"Idiot, get out of the way." A tall, thin person stepped past him, opened the door and walked out decisively, "If you want to live, listen to the homeroom teacher and the PE student."

After walking out a few steps, this person went down the steps and disappeared into the dense fog.

Lin Yi remembered that this person was "Song Rentou." As a veteran trial student who had been around since May 6th when he first entered the school, Song Rentou's name was the opposite of his actions, and his style seemed very stable.

"Let's go too." Lin Yi said to Wei Liang while some trial students began to retreat and hesitate.

Wei Liang nodded, a little apprehensive but acting without hesitation: "Let's go, let's go, we have to take refuge early! But Old Lin, let me say this first, I actually have 'fog phobia', so if things don't look right, I'll have to rely on you!"

Lin Yi's expression became serious. He naturally knew that Wei Liang was talking about the situation like last night, and immediately nodded: "Yeah... okay."

He took a deep breath and looked firmly at the blurred world outside the door where the light and shadow were almost collapsing.

The boundary of a door, as if separating two worlds.

PS: Added 200 words.

Note: At the end of the previous chapter, some readers reflected that "he's" behavior seemed too risky, (of course, after reading this chapter, they shouldn't think so), so I'll just explain it briefly, there's really no need to think that way, because that's just a guess that Lin Yi showed in his mind, similar to reasoning about someone being shot, there's no danger, the real danger comes from the thought resonance generated at a certain moment, like a radio tuning a channel, at a certain moment Lin Yi received the "waveband" of painful cries because he was thinking about this matter.
