Chapter 366: Chapter 169 "Monkey Stepping on a Stick to View the Sea Picture" (Added 3000 words!)_4

"Come on, come on...you’re safe now..."

"You’re safe now..."

As Lin Yi’s hand slowly lifted, the non-human classmate couldn’t help but reveal a smile of triumph. "Come on... come on..."

It tried to grab Lin Yi’s hand, but at that moment, Lin Yi suddenly grabbed the quilt, yanked it off, and flung it at the non-human classmate.

Non-human classmate: "Huh?"

It paused for a moment, then, a fist, through two layers of quilt, fiercely smashed into its face!

"Bang!"

The non-human classmate staggered, stumbled back a couple of steps, and then fell to the ground. Its already slightly cracked mouth corner collapsed a bit further from the punch, with more cracks spreading and making its already fierce face even more terrifying.

It got up from the ground, stars swirling in its eyes, its slightly deformed head full of question marks, looking like a clueless Buddha.

In front of it, Lin Yi swung his arms, rolling up the quilt like a child wrapping a shirt around their arm as a boxing glove, creating a somewhat effective trap. The rest of it he swiped up and tossed behind him, conveniently covering Wei Liang.

"So it feels so great to be Wei Shan?" Lin Yi looked at the quilt wrapped around his hand, which now bore some tomato sauce stains. But truth be told, that punch felt pretty good.

Lin Yi felt a slight itch in his feet, subconsciously yearning to prance around in small, swift steps, his neck also itching to bob.

Although he hadn’t moved yet, it seemed like a small, imaginary figure had already leaped out atop his little brain. That little figure, like a boxer warming up, was bobbing its head and hopping around, looking extremely punchable. But paired with the expression on Lin Yi’s face, that faintly opened the doors to a new world, it was quite amusing.

With that move, Lin Yi completely baffled the non-human classmate. It wasn’t big brother, we hadn’t even tipped you off, so why start punching right away?

But Lin Yi didn’t hesitate, he went straight for another nearby non-human classmate and threw a punch. With a swift and accurate strike, he caved its face in.

The remaining few non-human classmates all bore fierce expressions as they pounced over, but though they thought they were swift, in reality, that was only "relatively" speaking. In Lin Yi’s eyes, they were merely a few stiff, zombie-like creatures.

They didn’t even realize they didn’t look human. Apart from the brainwashing drone, there was nothing about them that resembled a normal person, including either non-existent or overly exaggerated expression management, stiff and unnatural body movements, and dry, hoarse voices, among other things...

They simply had no idea.

Thus, under the lamplight, the scene had totally become Lin Yi surrounding several non-human classmates. Even with Wei Liang on his back, he was much more agile than the non-human classmates. Moreover, with the agility of darting around a lamppost, he fought effortlessly, leaving the non-human classmates unable to fend for themselves.

Lin Yi thoughtfully said, "The lights have a strong ’disinfectant’ effect on most human sculptures and nocturnal species. It also has a significant suppressive power on these transformed non-human classmates..."

"However, these non-human classmates don’t quite resemble the ones I observed through Young Master Tian’s perspective in my dreams... Their agility and level of intelligence seem to be in between ’non-human classmates exposed to classroom lights’ and ’non-human classmates after the lights are out’..."

"It seems to be a matter of light intensity..."

Lin Yi began adjusting his output rhythm, ensuring he spared energy while still managing to strike at the non-human classmates, preventing them from getting close.

Just as he was getting into a good rhythm, the streetlight flickered as if it were a candle flame...

A sense of unease suddenly rose in Lin Yi’s heart, he knew he couldn’t stay here any longer.

Therefore, without lingering any further, after punching his way through the impasse, he swiftly rushed out of the "Dormitory building-094" light-covered area with Wei Liang and headed towards "Dormitory building-095".

Having successfully dealt with "Dormitory building-094" on his own, Lin Yi felt very confident about the path ahead, yet what he failed to notice was that even after he left the lit area of "Dormitory building-094", the non-human classmates he had attacked didn’t get up again. Instead, they lay there skewed, gradually transforming into a lifeless, pure white plaster-like substance...

From them, a faint mist began to emanate, thin like cooking smoke, which blended into the dense fog around with the evening breeze, and tracking like a relentless chronic disease, twined around Lin Yi and was gradually inhaled by him following the rhythm of his breathing.

Then, under the night sky, the mist appeared as numerous as strands of hair, indistinguishable from each other. Combined with the dim light and the slightly warped space, these few wisps of mist were completely invisible.

Lin Yi was completely unaware of this issue, but for some reason, the human sculptures that were tightly pursing him had somewhat relaxed their chase although they were still following him, keeping a distance from him.

That was a relief, Lin Yi didn’t have the luxury of time or the presence of mind to wonder why, and he hurriedly continued to run.

But gradually, problems started to occur...

As he was running, the ground beneath suddenly transformed into a surface that was neither cobblestone nor soft sandy soil, starting to make a tight "crack" sound, giving him a feeling like walking on thin ice.

He looked down at his feet and instantly saw that the contact point between his foot and the ground had clearly expanded outward into a dense, web-like crack.

"Tsk... again?"

This was the same scene as last night, and now it was happening again.

Was it a collapse of layers, or... does this always happen near the dormitory buildings during abnormal weather?!

"Don’t mess with me... there’s not much time left..."

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, treading on this bizarre, cracked path.

Suddenly, he noticed that the space in front of him started to sway.

Yes, just like that... It felt as if the entire path was being picked up and shaken by some force, giving it a noodle-stretching sensation.

And thus, Lin Yi on this path truly suffered.

The road, already full of cracks, began to display a stark sense of contrast and destruction with the appearance of the noodle-like effect, with Lin Yi’s previous step on thin ice and the next step onto a soft and mushy surface.

He felt his bodily balance was being destroyed by the layers, narrowly avoiding falling several times.

Around him, the shadows of the human sculptures surged up and down like riding the waves, and the "shushing" sound was incessant.
