Chapter 143: Chapter 65 Dormitory Building (Extra 1200 words!)_3

The girl was clearly irked, so she seized the opportunity to call out to Lin Yi and Wei Liang as they passed by her.

"That...," she coaxed in a pinched voice, "big brother, could you help me carry a bag? I have quite a few..."

Lin Yi and Wei Liang both stopped and gave her a once over.

This girl seemed to be wearing a pink double ponytail wig, her face colored with an obvious discomfort as she rubbed her hands together and apologetically explained, "My companions and I have had some disagreements... they don’t really want to stay overnight in the dorm."

"So... sorry, big brothers, could you maybe help me with a bag?"

Lin Yi’s eyebrows creased slightly as he looked at the girl’s pitiable appearance, revealing an expression as if he was deep in thought.

The girl immediately brightened up, thinking this was her chance to push the heaviest suitcase towards Lin Yi.

But Lin Yi didn’t seem interested in taking it, only saying calmly, "Classmate, if you do need to go to the dorm, you can leave some bags here, and just take the valuables with you."

"Hey!" the girl said, suddenly annoyed and striking a sassy, tsundere pose, "But all of these are my treasures, I can’t leave any bag behind!"

"Big~brother~ just help me, please~"

Lin Yi was completely unaffected, glancing at his watch and leaving her with the words, "The dorm has clothes for changing, it won’t matter even if you don’t bring anything. Don’t waste time here, if you want to go then hurry," before turning around and confidently walking down the steps of the lecture hall.

"Wuwuwu... how could you be like this!"

Seeing that Lin Yi wasn’t taking the bait, the girl turned her pleadful gaze towards Wei Liang.

Wei Liang’s gaze shifted away from her white legs in pink square-toed leather shoes, smilingly he praised, "Ah, you don’t understand, he likes mature women in black stockings, while I prefer young girls in white stockings."

The girl almost foresaw Wei Liang descending like a deity to help her lug a pile of luggage, her face couldn’t help but show a happy smile, her whole body ready to leap for joy.

However...Her anticipation fell flat yet again.

Wei Liang made no extra moves.

In the girl’s eyes, Wei Liang’s next action was just as indifferent and unromantic as Lin Yi before him, expressing his high praise for her outfit with a simple "Nice stockings," and then without any reluctance, he turned around to catch up with Lin Yi, leaving her frozen with an awkward expression.

Isn’t... don’t you like my kind, a white-stocking-wearing loli?

Were you just saying that??

She was in utter disarray.

...

May 7, X023, 20:19, Building B of the Teaching Building, at the foot of the stairs.

"Old Lin, you really darted off quickly, just ditching me with her!" Wei Liang complained indignantly.

Lin Yi, with slightly raised eyebrows, calmly asked, "I thought you would help her and then drag me along to move her luggage."

"Are you serious?" Wei Liang said.

"No, I guessed you wouldn’t help either," Lin Yi replied, "but I didn’t expect you to be so unwavering."

"What’s so surprising about that? Please..." Wei Liang scoffed with a smirk, striking a pose as though revealing his magnanimous nature, "As a man of love, how could I bow down to mere white stockings? I read the Spring and Autumn Annals!"

"I suppose you mean the ’Spring and Autumn of Flirtatious Tales’?"

"Eiy~ Is not a tale a tale? Don’t be so narrow-minded, it’s essentially the same thing!"

Lin Yi didn’t say anything further but took a moment to observe the surroundings.

At 20:21, the campus was shrouded in a chilly atmosphere.

Beneath their feet lay a cobblestone-paved path, flanked by lit street lamps on both sides.

The amber street lamps, like lanterns hung on branches, cast a light that overlapped with the cobblestone path, forming a slightly warm trail amidst the darkness.

Behind the lamps stretched darkness, the silhouette of the mountain and the shadow of the Green Forest Belt concealed by the glow of the lamps.

Due to the effect of the light, once the eye captured the brightness, it was completely unable to see the darkness that lay beyond.

The only thing remaining was a vague blue-gray canopy on the horizon, standing like an ancient City Wall at the ends of the earth.

A stark white mist wantonly spread from behind the darkness of the lamp posts, rolling along the cobblestones and gradually submerging the backs of Lin Yi and Wei Liang’s feet.

The mist today was indeed much thinner than yesterday’s, allowing Lin Yi to vaguely make out figures walking on the path through the orange glow of the lights, heading towards the Dormitory building direction.

They continued to walk for thirteen minutes.

When Lin Yi took a certain step, his heart suddenly skipped, a strange sensation, like a water curtain, gently rippled over him.

As if by induction, he glanced back over his shoulder.

The corner of his eye twitched violently.

"The Teaching Building... it’s really gone!"

He took another look at the lamp post beside him.

Dormitory Building-087.

"Indeed, we’ve entered into the segment of the Dormitory building!"

"The area where the Dormitory building is located is yet another independent space!"

He slowly narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath; such a discovery, as expected, confirmed his conjecture once again: every building within the campus lay within an independent space.

Just as his gaze moved away from the lamp post and towards the path ahead, an indescribable, intense oppressive force suddenly emerged from the darkness and thin mist at the end of the road!

Amidst the dim and interlacing light and shadow, it seemed as if a massive wave of darkness that could eclipse the sky had appeared.

Lin Yi’s pupils dilated slowly, his gaze as if penetrating through the darkness, and his soul seemingly reaching the end of the path ahead of his body.

He saw a massive structure that defied description.

It stood like an ancient stele amidst the mottled and hazy light and shadow, endlessly entwined by the stark white mist, sculpted by the icy cold frost; it was somber, desolate, ancient, distant, profound, terrifying, cold... Countless breaths intertwined, enveloping it.

It stood there.

Right in front of Lin Yi.

The distant moon seemed to be right behind it.

In the chaos, it was like a deity standing tall.

"Dorm...itory...building?"

In Lin Yi’s mind, these words inexplicably came forth.

"Not you... wait..."

"The hell... is this a Dormitory building?!"
