Chapter 378: Chapter 173: Haven’t Entered Yet, and the Dorm is Gone?!

"Ha...hahaha...it’s really possible, haha...cough cough cough...cough!!"

Lin Yi had just thought to cheer for his own wit, but the heavy breathing immediately suppressed him, causing him to break out in severe coughs.

Indeed, he had designed a way to turn those inhuman classmates into a heap of unrecognizable, limp rubber humans with minimal physical effort, but the spiritual power he expended for this was beyond rational calculation.

First, he hypothesized, based on his experience traversing through abnormal layers under the Grey Mist weather, that the Human Sculptures and inhuman classmates had certain perceptual abilities, capable of catching the anchoring information used by Experience Students to self-anchor, which is why he attempted to secretly hint to himself that his identity was "Li Huiyuan."

The reason for using Li Huiyuan’s identity information instead of Wei Shan, Kuai Hongji, or fabricating a random one, was well-considered.

Because a fabricated character, he couldn’t trust.

An identity that couldn’t even deceive himself, why would it make him believe it was true?

Secondly, Li Huiyuan’s Student ID card was lost, and she should currently be with her teacher, unlike Wei Shan who still needed to return to the dormitory.

What if using Wei Shan’s identity information to deceive the inhuman classmates ended up harming Wei Shan and the others?

Furthermore, the Li Huiyuan he envisioned in his mind wasn’t what Li Huiyuan really looked like, but was an essence of Li Huiyuan fabricated on Zhou Yuting’s face, and he purposely distorted it later, purely misleading the inhuman classmates.

Beyond that, he dared to do this also because of the experience of inverse contamination under the streetlamp with Ge Qing and Nie Yun, whose identities were taken by Human Sculptures, or else he wouldn’t have confidence to carry out this experiment.

Because the biggest problem isn’t how to design a trap, but how to make the trap real.

Although it seemed only necessary to keep repeating in his mind, "I am Li Huiyuan, my student number is X0230507046," the reality was not so simple. It required Lin Yi to forcefully overwrite his own identity perception, making himself believe he was Li Huiyuan and believe he was the "Li Huiyuan" he had envisioned, in order to lure the fake Wei Liangs into the trap and then attempt to take over this layer of identity.

It was like the Strategist who enters the situation personally, drinking the champagne laced with deadly poison at the toast; only if he drank it himself would his opponent drink it too, and drain it in one go.

And now, he needed to have his stomach pumped—before collapsing.

Before his complete subversion of self-identity perception, he had to reconstruct identity perception!

The method was actually very simple, requiring only two steps.

"First..."

"Cough cough...cough..." His body trembled incessantly due to the violent coughing, his breathing turned increasingly heavy, and his complexion grew uglier.

He shakily reached into his pocket, and only when his fingertips felt the cold acrylic material of the card did he pull it out.

"Name: Lin Yi"

"Student Number: X0230506098"

"Class: Group B, Class 2"

He looked at his own Student ID card, but due to being too immersed in his role, his cognition was eroded significantly. Even though he was holding his own Student ID card, looking at his own identity information, he felt a complex sense of resistance.

"Is this me...? No, this is not me, I am Li Huiyuan, my student number is...no, this is me..."

A storm brewed in Lin Yi’s mind, his strained spirit dwindled rapidly, and even his breaths began emitting burning air...

He shook his head violently; he had anticipated this stage, so in order to reconstruct self-cognition, he needed a second step!

"There’s also a second, second step..."

He clenched his teeth, straining to adjust his breathing to make his body more comfortable, then, he pulled out his notepad from his pocket, shakily flipping to a specific page.

"Where is it, where is it, where is it..."

His vision became somewhat diffuse, his spirit on the verge of collapse and out of control, but he still rapidly searched the page for the critical keyword based on the "obsession" he had written down previously!

"Whish whish whish! Whish whish whish! Whish whish whish..."

In the silent corridor, only the sound of pages flipping resounded.

Finally, he found it!

It turned out this entry wasn’t in the back but in the front!

Note No. 4:

[I am called Lin Yi, my student number is X0230506098.]

He shakily placed the Student ID card on this page, looking alternately at the identity information on the Student ID card and what he personally wrote in the notebook. He took a deep breath suppressing the urge to cough violently, then twisted his crumbling spiritual power like twisting a rope, forcing his diffuse vision to refocus!

Having completed these preparations, he stared hard at his own photo on the Student ID card, then began chanting like an old monk reciting scriptures: "I am called Lin Yi, my student number is X0230506098, I am called Lin Yi, my student number is X0230506098, I am called Lin Yi..."

As he continued chanting, the anchor used to secure his self-identity information finally pulled out from Li Huiyuan’s harbor and reentered his own.

"I am called Lin Yi, my student number is...ha...haha...hahahaha..."

He had re-anchored, he had finally re-anchored!!!

He covered his face and laughed, tears nearly streaming out in joy, laughing like a child who had won a game against adults.

The notepad initially used for jotting down thoughts, ultimately transformed into a launched bullet, flying for a while before circling back, becoming the key foreshadowing to his victory!
