Chapter 271: Chapter 126: Figure in the Corridor [Extra 1000 words!]

"Hmph!!" Wei Liang clenched his teeth so tight they squeaked and squatted down to pick up the books from the ground.

Lin Yi thought to himself that this made things clear. The more he tried to explain to Wei Liang, the more wild ideas Wei Liang would conjure up. If you just admitted to it, Wei Liang would actually be less likely to believe you.

"Your books!" Wei Liang picked up the books, opened the folding desk, and slapped them down with a thud before he started dividing them up. In a few quick movements, he had the pile of books placed in front of Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan.

Li Huiyuan, recalling the white plaster-like fragments and pondering what Lin Yi had told her, unknowingly accepted a few of the books Wei Liang found and even casually thanked him.

So she sat down and began to lazily flip through these books, while her mind was still occupied with the events that had occurred before.

Lin Yi, observing her condition, gradually became certain of one thing—the conditions allowing one to think were not as rigid as Xu Shunkang had suggested.

The conditions for thought were not fixed, but rather quite flexible.

[You can only think under the sun.]

This was a general statement, or rather, it was "reasonable advice" that Xu Shunkang, being a Sports Student, had given to the typical Experience Student.

In reality, the sunlight represented a safe state, where the spirit and willpower of the Experience Student seemed to be somewhat enhanced, enabling effective resistance against the impacts brought about by the fall of layers.

In other words, the condition [Under the Sun] was set to fundamentally prevent cognitive collapse that could result from thinking.

That is to say, once cognition had been overwritten, the areas that would previously twist were now highly adapted, thus greatly reducing the possibility of cognitive collapse.

This exactly was why Li Huiyuan could think inside the classroom. Of course, another reason was... she just happened to be within the reach of the sunlight streaming through the window.

But with Lin Yi’s observation, Li Huiyuan soon began showing some abnormal reactions... like her neck seemed to be getting redder, and this redness was spreading to her face at a sustained pace...

’?’ Lin Yi subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

And Li Huiyuan started flipping through the books faster and faster until finally, with a "snap", she closed the book she was holding...

She had started with thinking about the events of the day, then casually glanced over the comics in her hands—the comics depicted the story of Empress Wu Zetian of Huaxia. But gradually, she noticed that the plot seemed to exceed logic, and some scenes not meant to be drawn were included.

Then, she realized the comic had some serious issues, snapped it shut, and took a look at the cover...

Wow—nice!

"The Erotic History of Wu X Tian?"!

She was stunned for a full three seconds, then glanced at the other books below...

"Sailor Moon Battles Tentacle Monster"...

"A 16-Year-Old Student’s Virginity: Let Your Sister Pamper You a Bit More"...

"Pollen Girl Party (Deluxe Edition)"... Deluxe, really?

The more she read, the worse it seemed, and she couldn’t help flipping through a few others, resulting in the redness spreading from her neck to her face, until even her ear tips changed color...

Lin Yi discreetly averted his gaze, thinking to himself that it was just his mind racing; it was good as long as it wasn’t a contamination issue.

Lin Yi then gave a strange look toward Wei Liang, who was by now thoroughly engrossed in leafing through his targeted doujin series for the day...

’Liangzi, this guy... could he be the Innate Risqué Comic Holy Body? How does he find every H comic there is?’

He muttered to himself, then peeled apart a few H comics at his side, took out a small notebook, pulled out a black marker, and briskly jotted down some thoughts.

’The blue hat from "Ru Zai" must be something else; definitely not in this layer.’

’The talk of glass Corridor Bridge and black ceramic tiles are interesting, but they might all be wrong.’

’A line appeared where the Green hat was caught, and it looked like a scar emitting a greenish fume when exposed, but it felt like nothing when touched.’

’I have no idea what’s beyond the mountain.’

’...’

These messages were something only Lin Yi could perfectly interpret.

Because when recording these thoughts, out of a subconscious need to protect cognition, Lin Yi used a shorthand as concise as possible...

He had a foreboding sense that if he happened to lose this little book and someone else picked it up, they would shatter their own cognition with the information he left upon reading...

But if one couldn’t understand it, it wouldn’t pose a problem... well, it shouldn’t.

So...

Lin Yi closed the little book, tucked it securely in his pocket, and patted the pocket.

You’re a mature guide to secrets now; you must learn to protect yourself...

He moved the H comics aside before standing up and leaving his seat.

"Planning to sneak off to pee again?" Wei Liang didn’t lift his head, but his voice emerged beside Lin Yi.

To Wei Liang’s surprise, Lin Yi nodded, "Together?"

"Since you’ve invited me so sincerely, I shall reluctantly agree!" Wei Liang smiled, closed the doujin of Sword Art Online he was reading and stood up, smoothing his trousers, "Let’s go~"

"Wait a second." Lin Yi then turned to look at Li Huiyuan, who was still turning red while flipping through "A 16-Year-Old Student’s Virginity: Let Your Sister Pamper You a Bit More," "Are you coming along?"

"Hey—" Wei Liang grabbed Lin Yi’s shoulder, "Damn it, Old Lin, have you lost it? Asking a girl to go to the restroom together?!"
