Chapter 185: Chapter 85: The Dream of Truth_2

"Quick, look at me..."

"I know you can see me...You can see me!!"

Lin Yi, just like yesterday, was huddled under the desk, but for some reason, such a voice not only did not instill fear in him, it in fact made him extremely irritated...as if a restless fury was spreading within his body.

He felt as if countless tiny insects were crawling all over his flesh and bones, a raw ache rapidly spreading throughout his body.

The dark and gloomy surroundings seemed to press down on him like a mountain range, leaving him feeling agitated and in disarray, wishing he could find a punching bag to vent on.

"Quick, look at me...Quick, look at me..."

This low and hoarse voice echoed in waves around Lin Yi’s ears, suddenly igniting the suppressed emotions in his chest like a spark falling into a pile of cotton.

"Look, look, look at your death!!!"

Lin Yi let out a roar that defied his own logic, and suddenly lifted his head.

Outside the desk was a non-human classmate, bending down and staring at him.

The non-human classmate’s complexion resembled that of a poorly-fired blue brick, eyes nestled in a faint golden glow, cold as a copper mirror reflecting moonlight in a snowy, icy field.

Its gaze was frenetic and maniacal, its mouth stretched to its ears, revealing a set of slightly sharp teeth.

Upon seeing Lin Yi looking back at it, its eyebrows suddenly arched a bit, a trace of bloodlust appeared in its eyes, and from its nose and mouth came a "huff, huff" of cold breath, and it let out a chilling, bone-souring cackle:

"I—see—you—now!!!"

It bent over, extending its plaster-like, ashy-grey palm, and swept swiftly toward where Lin Yi was.

"?!"

Lin Yi had never thought that the dull non-human classmate, akin to a stone, could display such speed. A severe sense of crisis instantly coated him like sugar.

However—he did not feel any fear, only endless frenzy and anger inside him.

It was as if it wasn’t him at all.

"Thud!"

A dull sound rang out as Lin Yi caught the arm that the non-human classmate had swept toward him.

His hand gripped tightly on the non-human classmate’s wrist like a vise. The cold touch, akin to touching a block of ice, traveled from his palm into his body, and even his forearm was soon covered with a layer of chill.

The non-human classmate froze, trying to grasp with fingers but found it couldn’t reach Lin Yi.

It tried to withdraw its arm but discovered it couldn’t pull away at all.

In its crazed eyes now emerged a hint of confusion; it didn’t understand where the explosive power of Lin Yi, who just a moment ago was cowering meekly under the desk, had come from.

"Fa-fa-fa..." a beast-like low rumble came from the fatty’s throat.

Lin Yi felt his flesh and bones saturated by an uncontrollable surge, a self-defense desire bordering on instinct, to counterattack against danger.

This desire, along with instinct, slowly emerged and quickly took control of his body.

"Heh-heh-heh..." low, cold chuckles came out of Lin Yi’s mouth, a sound that did not belong to him, it sounded more like...Wei Shan.

He grabbed the non-human classmate’s hand and crawled out from under the desk bit by bit, his movements reminiscent of Sadako crawling out of storage, yet his momentum was akin to a demon unleashed from its cage.

In the non-human classmate’s still dazed mind, what’s happening?

Historically, only I have struck others, how can others strike me?

But the response it received was an incredibly heavy straight kick.

It was sent flying outright, tumbling several of its non-human counterparts and then getting up bewildered.

"Crack...crack..."

White powder particles fell from where it was kicked, and fine cracks spread from under its clothing up to its neck, the entire form resembling a porcelain piece riddled with fissures, even its stance seemed unsteady.

One could hardly imagine the terrifying power concentrated in Lin Yi’s kick.

Even Lin Yi himself was stunned.

"This...?"

"Can non-human classmates retaliate with violence?"

He looked down at his foot, only to find that it was covered in a large swath of white powder particles, as if he had kicked a wall and the wall’s plaster had dusted his pant legs.

His heart skipped a beat, and his thoughts immediately turned to the green chef in the gymnasium.

After being stepped on by Wei Liang, the soles of his shoes were smeared with tomato sauce, and the tomato sauce... would turn into a gypsum-like substance.

This white powdery substance was almost identical to plaster powder.

So, it was without a doubt some kind of contaminant.

"Heh... heh... heh..."

The non-human classmates targeted Lin Yi, then stiffly encircled him with their footsteps.

"I see you..."

"I see you!"

"Don’t go! Tomato... mine... tomato!!"

In the dimly lit classroom, the non-human classmates and the bizarre art student collectively ceased their attack on the sports student and the normal art students and advanced toward Lin Yi.

Lin Yi’s breathing became rapid, hot air hissing in and out between his breaths, his throat vibrated slightly, emitting a "fa-fa-fa" sound...

He clenched his fists, his body slightly arched, like an arrow poised to fly.

The fight broke out, and Lin Yi tangled with them, becoming one of the forces stirring up a whirlwind of violence, different from before.

He fought more and more viciously, as if he had lost his sanity, using instinct to block, dodge, attack, displaying an incredible fighting skill.

In the midst of battle, his shirt was accidentally torn, and a bloodstain marked his back from the attack of the non-human classmates.

"Roar—" Growing fiercer in battle, he finally stood on a desk, jumped high, his hands clenched and fingers formed into hammers, and smashed heavily onto the head of a non-human classmate.

"Bang!!!"

A non-human classmate was flattened on the spot, and as he prepared to deal the fatal blow, the solid ground beneath his feet cracked like thin paper.

Before he could react, he fell once again into the same shattered cloud environment as before.

Strangely enough, once he left the prior environment, all the negative emotions filling his chest dissipated in an instant, as if he had never experienced anything before.

Wave after wave of cold wind battered his face, making his thoughts increasingly clear.

He slowly lifted his clenched fist, then gently unclenched it...

In his palm lay a student ID card.

"Name: Wei Shan"

"Class: Group B Class 3"

"Student ID: X0230506095"

Lin Yi’s pupils shrank slightly, surprise trumping everything in his heart.

As he was stunned, the student ID card in his hand aged rapidly in the cold wind, then scattered from his palm like torn paper scraps.

"It was Young Master Tian earlier, now it’s Wei Sang..."

"Am I dreaming? Dreaming that I’ve become them? Experienced what they have experienced...?"

Lin Yi was overwhelmed by the sheer realism of the experience, as if he had personally lived it, especially Wei Shan’s emotions, which felt like cotton stuffing his body before being completely ignited!

"Huh—"

At that moment, the sensation of the cold wind against his face began to fade, but the shattered mist still lingered around him, not dispersing at all, growing denser instead.

When he felt a sense of solid ground under his feet, the density of the surrounding mist had also reached its limit.

The whole world seemed covered by mist, with no idea where he was.

He looked around, but could find no sense of direction.

"This time... who am I?"

He tried to raise his hands but found he couldn’t see his own hands at all.

He looked down at his body, then realized he didn’t have a body at all.

He touched his face following his sensation, only to find that he couldn’t feel anything...
