Chapter 290: Chapter 134: Nocturnal Species [Add 1000 words!]_2

"Fuck, did a Green hat scratch you?" Xu Shunkang exclaimed in shock.

"Let me see!" Xie Huayang suddenly shot forward, joining Xu Shunkang behind Li Huiyuan.

Two grown men were looking at Li Huiyuan’s back with their golden pupils, as if they were two master calligraphers examining a Tang Yin masterpiece under a magnifying glass, their eyes radiating an unspeakable level of professionalism.

However... staring at a girl’s back with such intensity, not only did the aura of the calligrapher get cut in half, but the creepiness also spread...

Li Huiyuan twisted her body uncomfortably with a weird expression on her face, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

They were checking out the scratch made by the green-aproned chef. They’re not embarrassed, so what the hell are you being coy for, Li Huiyuan cursed herself silently, and chose to hold back with self-awareness.

Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang really had no other intentions, and even demonstrated solid professional knowledge.

"Strange... If a Green hat scratches you, it should leave a mark, just like a hunter marking its prey, but where has her mark gone?" Xu Shunkang pondered, then turned to Lin Yi with a hesitant look, "Did you do it?"

Lin Yi thought of the shining green dot in the vision of exposed image quality and immediately asked, "Are you talking about the thing that’s the size of a fingernail?"

"Every Green hat’s mark is different, but... since you put it that way, it must be it. Did you peel it off?" Xu Shunkang asked.

Lin Yi nodded, "It peeled off as soon as I touched it... and then it evaporated when exposed to light, so I don’t even know what that thing really was."

"You motherfucker... you even scraped it off with your bare hands?" Xu Shunkang was dumbstruck, "Bro, you sure you’re okay? Didn’t you encounter any ominous shit after peeling it off?"

"What the fuck?!" Lin Yi was startled, "Shit, it’s that serious? I didn’t know a fucking thing!"

"You didn’t know and you still dared to pick at it?"

"I didn’t feel any danger, okay?"

"You, you bitch... you bitch..." Xu Shunkang stared at him with his golden pupils, his expression growing increasingly bizarre, "You’re fucking lucky, not having any issues with that!"

Their conversation was heavily laced with ’motherfuckers’, making Li Huiyuan, trapped in the middle, feel awkward...

Xu Shunkang waved his hand to change the topic, "Alright, alright, since the mark has been removed and you, kid, haven’t suffered any problems, that’s good. Let’s continue."

"That kind of Contamination looks like ’Mist’, haha. To observe it with the naked eye, it’s just a mist that resembles natural mountain fog, only denser. But to the eyes heavily affected by Contamination, it will take on a different color, like green... "

"Actually, the school area is full of mist, but usually, Experience Students have a hard time coming into contact with it. Even when there is some, all you need to do is withstand its influence and quickly take shelter in a building according to the rules."

"The school reduces the possibility of Experience Students getting contaminated as much as possible with its rules, and even if they get contaminated, they generally manage to keep it within an acceptable range. By the time their experience period ends and they leave the school area, the residual Contamination will also disappear over time."

"However, the speed of Contamination can increase with the relaxation of different Experience Students’ will and cognitive conflicts due to special circumstances within the school area."

"’Cognition’ is like a protective shield. Once your understanding of the school area has some distortions, the shield will crack, and Contamination will start to seep in."

"Sometimes, when the cognition is unstable, you need to use a strong will to forcefully suppress the distortion, making the cracks on the shield disappear."

"You, kid, know how to pull her back from that unstable state... you must also understand the connection between cognition and willpower."

Lin Yi nodded.

Xu Shunkang continued, "That’s why I told you not to fucking overthink issues the night before last. The problems in the school area are too enormous, especially for those who spend the first night in the classroom. Just thinking will definitely mess up the cognition."

"I don’t know how the fuck you survived, but since you look alive and kicking now, that means your situation exceeded my expectations, so I won’t scold you anymore."

Xu Shunkang glanced at Li Huiyuan and then said, "As for you..."

"There’s a lower limit for the ’Experience Student’ Pollution Range. Once you exceed that limit, all sorts of problems... To put it simply, it’s like installing a jet engine on a minivan, push the pedal down and the body just can’t take it."

"If we’re talking about a chessboard, it’s like a ’pawn’ moving with the strength of a ’knight’. Anyone with clear eyes can see there’s a problem, so once a ’pawn’ doesn’t act like a ’pawn’ but more like a ’knight’, it will draw the ’knights’ attention. And what’s worse is, it’s not just the ’knights’ who’ll be paying attention."

"Coming back to the subject of Experience Students, after they get contaminated, some can rely on their own will to pull themselves back to the normal world, while others will start swinging between ’normal’ and ’unstable status’, even easily entering ’unstable status’ due to some external stimulus, just like her."

"Experience Students who become unstable are like mild Polluters, and they will be coveted by severe Polluters."
