Chapter 283: Chapter 131: Mirror [Extra 1000 Words!]_2

Lin Yi knew it was trying to communicate with him, so he narrowed his eyes and offered no response.

"Press this button for me, press it!! I know you can hear my voice! Help me!!! Please, just help me!!!"

It kept pleading, but Lin Yi remained unmoved, watching it indifferently.

"Help me... help me... yes, that’s right... there... good child... come here... come here..."

The voices coming from the flesh suddenly became gentle, as if imbued with a seductive magic power that could incessantly compel some creatures to act.

But Lin Yi was clearly not affected.

However, a figure suddenly walked out from beside him and after passing by his side, headed towards the shadowy area...

"Li Huiyuan?!" Lin Yi felt a chill down his spine, his whole body jolting, as he instantly realized that the mass of flesh wasn’t talking to him, but was enchanting Li Huiyuan!

"Fuck!" Lin Yi quickly reached out to grab Li Huiyuan’s shoulder, relieved that when he touched her, he didn’t feel the drop in temperature or the distortion in the layers that the others had experienced.

After calming down a bit, Lin Yi took a deep breath and, exerting all his strength, he pulled her back just as she was about to cross the line dividing sunlight and shadow.

"Li Huiyuan!" he said, his hands pressing on her shoulders as he began to shake them vigorously.

Li Huiyuan’s dazed eyes refocused, and she groaned a little dizzyingly: "Classmate Lin, stop shaking, stop... You’re too forceful, my brain feels like it’s blending..."

It was then that Lin Yi let go of her and wiped the sweat off his brow, exhaling deeply: "It’s good that you’re fine."

Li Huiyuan suddenly understood what had happened, glancing at the mass of flesh in front of the elevator with horror; her complexion turned deathly pale and she nearly passed out.

Lin Yi was quick to support her, preventing her from falling.

But Li Huiyuan immediately doubled over and began to retch violently, almost vomiting out her bile...

Lin Yi could only gently pat her... emmm... pat the back of her black sports vest.

"Stop throwing up... you’re gonna hurl out your lungs at this rate..." Lin Yi shamelessly averted his gaze.

His words made Li Huiyuan instantly aware of the thin vest that had been merely draped over her, as her face flushed and her attention snapped from the sinister, abstract flesh to Lin Yi, her twisted perception swiftly returning to normal.

She instantly felt better and could no longer hear the enchanting whispers.

She couldn’t hear them anymore, but the curses and imprecations of the flesh echoed in Lin Yi’s ears as if in surround sound...

This made Lin Yi certain of one thing—the non-human entity had initially sought his help, but when it discovered that Li Huiyuan was responding to the "call" before he did, it directed its soft whispers towards her.

Now that Lin Yi had foiled its cunning plan, the non-human Classmate erupted in rage.

It began to move violently, like a mass of muck attempting to launch itself at Lin Yi, but since part of it was stuck in the elevator door, it struggled in vain.

"So stupid..." Lin Yi scoffed inwardly, "With all that effort, it might’ve been able to hit that button by ejecting itself..."

Gradually, as the non-human Classmate’s flesh failed in cursing Lin Yi and attempting to press the button, it gave up its struggles and started to move slowly on the ground, like a living mass of sludge.

Lin Yi silently watched the scene, quietly stepping back a bit.

Suddenly he thought of something and turned to Li Huiyuan: "Li Huiyuan."

"Hmm...?"

"Do you have a mirror on you?"

"A mirror? What kind of mirror?" Confusion flickered in Li Huiyuan’s eyes, as she still hadn’t fully recovered from the recent shock.

"Just a compact mirror for touching up makeup," Lin Yi said.

"Ah? Oh oh oh! Yes, I have one, just a sec." Li Huiyuan hurriedly reached into her pleated skirt and fished around before producing a mirror, much to Lin Yi’s bewildered gaze...

The bizarre scene where she pulled a mirror from beneath her skirt was strikingly similar to the moment when Master Xing pulled out a soft sword from his pants to battle Wu Sangui... It left Lin Yi completely dumbfounded.

Realizing something, Li Huiyuan’s face turned crimson and she quickly offered an explanation: "Hey! Don’t get the wrong idea! These skirts come with a pocket!!! It’s just more concealed, not visible at all!"

She smoothed out the pleats of the skirt, revealing a small pocket that would’ve been impossible to spot without close inspection.

"Sss... aha, impressive..." Lin Yi had neither a girlfriend nor was he into cross-dressing, so such intimate and considerate designs were beyond his knowledge. His expression said, "I don’t understand, but I’m greatly impressed."

He then received the small mirror from Li Huiyuan’s still-flushed expression...

If Lin Yi had shown any inappropriate expressions at that moment, it would’ve driven Li Huiyuan mad, but fortunately, Lin Yi knew the gravity of the situation, maintaining a serious face as if he had been empowered by heaven to vanquish demons, which made Li Huiyuan a bit lost.

Lin Yi opened the mirror’s lid and, after adjusting the angle in the sunlight, directed a beam of natural light into that dark area.
