Chapter 427: Chapter 191: Accompany You to Dinner (Extra 2000 words!)_2

"Huh?" Lin Yi was startled. How could he still see a long shot of himself?

Before he could ponder it further, the fragmented colors suddenly shattered completely, and Lin Yi’s vision dimmed abruptly. His eyes began to blur as if he was experiencing the kind of unfocused first-person perspective used in movies to depict a protagonist’s hazy consciousness...

Gradually, a hand appeared in Lin Yi’s vision...

It looked like it had picked up something, as its five fingers slowly opened up...

At that moment, his vision sharpened, and at a certain point, the object in the palm became clearly visible - a dirty, round card with what seemed like a string of numbers on it...

Through the residual image, Lin Yi immediately "read" the sequence of numbers:

"’Yue-X02305070323’..."

"Wait, what? Is this... Maozi’s Art Student number?!"

"That thing is Maozi’s Student Souvenir Coin!!"

Lin Yi tried to take another look, but the scene faded away rapidly like a photograph yellowed by smoke, leaving only the shattered light and shadow filled with light contamination.

He felt like he was continuously falling in this tunnel, dizzy from the assault of the light contamination regardless of whether his eyes were open or closed, and gradually, he actually started feeling drowsy.

"How strange... to want to sleep in a dream?"

Lin Yi laughed at himself and then didn’t know whether he had fallen asleep or not. In a daze, the sound of wind and rain started to appear intermittently.

"Whooosh... Whooosh..."

These sounds grew louder and louder, like the noise of a stormy night when the wind and rain beat against old glass windows.

Anyone unaware would think someone was shaking the doors and windows, shouting something in the thunderstorm...

Suddenly, he perked up, realizing something, and his thoughts snapped back into focus.

As the noise in his ears became clearer and louder, the fragmented light and shadow in front of Lin Yi’s eyes also began to fade.

Finally, a bright light flashed rapidly before his eyes, like someone had pressed the shutter on an old camera in front of him, and with the disappearance of that light, he discovered that he was in a spacious and chilly amphitheater classroom.

"The Art Building!" His eyes lit up, and as he took a half step back, he drifted out of Mao Feiyang’s body like an ethereal spirit.

Looking at Mao Feiyang in front of him, Lin Yi felt a surge of excitement.

Today’s dream had actually connected perfectly with yesterday’s!

"This is fantastic! It seems I won’t miss any details!"

"Wait... this isn’t the right emotion!"

Damn it, why are you getting so excited? This perspective was bought with Maozi’s life; shouldn’t you be more worried about his safety?

Lin Yi viciously berated himself in his heart, but perhaps influenced by Wei Liang’s detached attitude, a little imp appeared above his head, cackling gleefully: "What’s done is done. If you can’t change the situation, just explore it thoroughly - hee hee hee!"

Immediately, Lin Yi composed himself, then began to observe his surroundings while recalling the scene from his "last visit" here in an attempt to synchronize the "plot" with his memory...

He took a look and quickly realized that the plot wasn’t perfectly continuous. When he left last time, it should have been sometime in the afternoon, around 14:00, but the clock in Art Classroom-IV now showed it was 16:50.

"Dinner time..."

Lin Yi mulled it over. Judging by the perspective exchange, although the Art Building was perpetually in darkness, its time was synchronized with the campus. Considering the Cafeteria rules for meal times and the Art Student Rules that require one to "have a meal in the Cafeteria within every 24 hours," Maozi would definitely head to the campus next.

"Damn... Did Maozi lose the Commemorative Coin during that trip and then went to the Convenience Store?!"

Lin Yi’s eyelids twitched violently. In the dream from the morning of May 9th, he reentered the plot of Maozi’s afternoon at 17:00 on May 7th. Guided by multiple clues like someone with partial spoilers, he knew what danger Maozi would face. And now... he would have the chance to relive Maozi’s experience from a first-person perspective!

"The bell sound of ’Doomsday’..."

"The invasion of mist and Pseudo-Humans..."

"Layer changes..."

"Teacher’s Guidelines · Emergency Plan B..."

Lin Yi intertwined all these clues and realized that there seemed to be an invisible web of mist enveloping everything from above, closing in on him. What he had discovered so far was just the tip of the iceberg, and it was enough to send shivers down his spine.

"Based on the timing... If the crisis originated from the so-called Doomsday, that means the ’event’ began erupting from the layers of the Art Building on the afternoon of May 7th..."

"No, even our enrollment day (May 6th) might have been the day the event erupted..."

On May 6th at 17:45, the campus was already enveloped in abnormal weather, while Wei Liang had not encountered such abnormalities during his previous visit.

To say that the campus had issues on May 6th was not unfounded.

"What are you doing?"

Just then, Mao Feiyang’s voice drew Lin Yi’s attention.

Lin Yi jumped, thinking Mao Feiyang was talking to thin air, but he quickly realized that Maozi was still talking to Mu Daxian.
