Chapter 259: Chapter 122: Has the Safety Status Failed? [Extra 1200 Words!]

This...?

What situation is this?!

In her heart, a strong urge erupted to look around and see where she was, but the sound of the wind by her ear was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing her impulse.

For she suddenly realized that this chilly wind sound was different from normal, seeming more like some kind of breathing.

Then she suddenly became aware that something cold had climbed onto her shoulder at some unknown time, emitting an icy breath by her ear, continuously blowing a chill towards the back of her neck.

Her pupils began to slowly dilate, and she realized she was zoning out, so she refocused her gaze. Then, under the premise of keeping her face unchanged, she slowly turned her eyeballs toward her shoulder...

In that instant, her whole body shivered, as she saw a pale hand resting on her shoulder that looked as cold as a block of ice, vaguely emanating a ghostly aura, unclear whether it was from cold or mist.

And her first instinct was as if a stone was pressing on her shoulder.

What is this thing...?!

It looked like some kind of... sculpture?

"Classmate, you dropped your student ID card."

That whisper that had been blowing cold air in her ear suddenly included a voice that struck straight to the soul.

Upon hearing such a voice, the original fear and panic in Li Huiyuan’s heart were suddenly suppressed a lot.

Student ID card?

My... Student ID card?

A strong desire and urge to turn back and take a look sprouted in her heart, but she retained one last instinct to resist; this instinct told her—Don’t turn back, Li Huiyuan! Don’t look back, Li!

"You see... is this the student ID card you dropped? It seems to be called... Li... Hui..."

That voice seemed to be reading the name on her student ID card, the low voice carrying a strange demonic charm, as if it could soothe the heart, yet as if it could hypnotize her actions.

But just as the word "Yuan" was about to be uttered, and her will began to relax, preparing to turn her neck to look in the direction from where that voice came, suddenly another hand landed on her shoulder.

This hand was the polar opposite of the previous one with its cold, stony texture—warm and powerful, as if it had firmly grasped her entire shoulder.

Li Huiyuan’s eyes fluctuated slightly, as if a still pool was suddenly stirred by the wind into ripples...

"Li Huiyuan... Li Huiyuan..."

A calling voice faintly arose in her ears, growing louder and more serious, sweeping in like a storm, causing her to shake violently as if she was a small boat in a storm...

With this intense shaking sensation, the dull colors in her vision seemed to brighten a bit, and the cold uncomfortable feeling around her began to melt away like ice and snow.

Gradually, a human silhouette appeared in her vision, it became clearer and looked like... Lin Yi.

...

On the cobblestone road, Lin Yi was shaking Li Huiyuan’s body violently, calling out her name without stopping, while Wei Shan who was next to him looked on for a while, then frowned and raised his hand, as if he was about to deliver a bracing slap: "Old Lin, move aside, I’ll wake her up."

"No way! Stop, stop, stop..." Seeing Wei Shan’s palm as big as a fan, Lin Yi was startled and quickly interjected, "Let me do it!"

He wiped off a cold sweat, thinking that with Wei Shan’s strength, even if he controlled it, this slap would turn Li Huiyuan into hero pieces, wouldn’t it?

So he lifted his hand, and just as he was about to deliver a tender, reviving slap, Li Huiyuan’s scattered pupils slowly focused, and she muttered, "Lin... Lin Yi?"

「Whew—」

Lin Yi’s hand stopped hard, a stack of books’ thickness away from Li Huiyuan’s cheek.

"Lin Yi, you...?" Li Huiyuan looked at Lin Yi’s hand somewhat blankly.

Lin Yi skillfully lowered his hand, patted her shoulder, and sighed deeply, "Were you okay just now?"

"Just now I..." Li Huiyuan’s gaze flickered as if she was unconsciously beginning to recall the earlier scene, but Lin Yi immediately interrupted her recollection with a fierce shake.

"Don’t dwell on the details too much, it’s good that you’re okay." Lin Yi said.

Li Huiyuan pursed her lips and nodded lightly, "Mhm... okay, thank you, Lin Yi."

"No problem, it’s what we agreed on." Lin Yi shook his head slightly, "Let’s go back to the classroom first, you walk in front of me, following Liangzi."

"Okay..." Li Huiyuan nodded in response, following behind Wei Liang, she took a deep breath, focused her spirit, and maintained high concentration.

Lin Yi glanced at the figure of Li Huiyuan walking away, his brow furrowed slightly, then he looked up at the sky.

In the sky, there wasn’t a cloud to be seen, and the sun was shining high, without any signs of anomalies.

「Strange... the weather is normal, and the sun is hanging high; even if Li Huiyuan is thinking nonsense, theoretically she shouldn’t encounter abnormalities and fall into crisis.」

Lin Yi furrowed his brow, deep in thought.

「How could this be? She could lose ’safe status’ even under the sun?」

Lin Yi noticed Li Huiyuan’s smooth back and dark-colored sports vest, his eyes suddenly lit up: 「Wait a second... she just lost her student ID card!」

「To be more precise, she lost the identity ’Li Huiyuan-X0230507046’!」

「So now she’s not even ’a normal experience student,’ but ’an experience student who has lost her student ID card’!」
