Chapter 531: Chapter 238: Faith Angel? Believe in the Boss!_2

Once he truly "believed in the Angel," he didn’t know whether he would turn into a Pseudo-Human or a Nightwalker, or... become an Angel Sculpture?

"Hey, wait, so that’s the ’Angel’s’ feather, not the feather of an Angel Sculpture?" Lin Yi paused slightly, as if the petrified feather of an Angel and the feather of an Angel Sculpture looked the same, but seemed to be two distinct concepts.

"Could it be that these chefs died in a battle with the Angel rather than with an Angel Sculpture?"

"And then, that malice!"

Lin Yi took a deep breath and in the pile of chef sculptures, he saw something different...

At first, he had not been able to distinguish clearly, but now under a different mindset, he had discovered it.

"That’s... a newborn Pseudo-Human Experiencee!"

"They’re the newborn Pseudo-Human Experiencees who perished along with the street light poles!"

Those Pseudo-Human Experiencees had fierce and pained expressions as if, after absorbing the supernatural power from the street light poles, they crawled out of the range of the poles while dying completely and rolled down the slope.

They were almost shattered, yet under the effect of the petrified Angel feathers, they still retained some "will"—it was this "will" that emanated a strong "malice."

Not just malice, but also brutality, fear, pain, anger, envy... and who knows how many other negative emotions.

All these emotions intertwined, resonating as if growing that "malice," making it rise like steam poured onto the sauna stones, constantly emanating from the hills, wandering in another layer, and then penetrating into this normal layer from the defunct street light pole area!

An ordinary Experiencee might only feel a breeze blowing over from the Green Forest Belt.

An Experiencee in an unstable state of mind might just feel something off, but can’t describe it.

An Experiencee with higher inspiration might faintly detect some malice.

But someone like Lin Yi, under certain special situations, could break through his own limits, see things he shouldn’t see, hear things he shouldn’t hear, feel things he shouldn’t feel...

He even had that sensation—that the malice on those newborn Pseudo-Human Experiencees was merely the result of true "malice" enchanting them from another layer...

Like a series of valves in a pipe, that "malice" from another layer found an outlet through the dead Pseudo-Human Experiencees, then infiltrated the normal layer from the defunct street light pole, attracting those like him who could sense the anomaly...

"Wait...?!" Lin Yi’s train of thought came to an abrupt halt, and he felt ice-cold all over... after deducting everything, could it be that I’m the fish?!

In a moment of distraction, Lin Yi almost saw a sculpture’s mouth corner creepily rising into an arc, as if laughing at him.

But the view flashed, and then he saw nothing.

Lin Yi shook his head vigorously, and his vision instantly withdrew from the Green Forest Belt, returning to the normal layer.

A layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and he gasped for air intensely.

"Looks like you’ve found something." Seeing that Lin Yi had come back to his senses, Tian Bufan knew Lin Yi was fine, so he skipped the small talk and went straight to the point.

"I’ve made a discovery," Lin Yi said somberly, glancing at his watch.

"7:00"

"Let’s talk as we walk."

There really wasn’t much time left.

"Alright, let’s go," Tian Bufan nodded.

The group then continued on their way.

"I saw the sculptures of the chefs and the pseudo-human Experience Students who were newcomers..." Lin Yi described what he had seen, "and there were sculptures in the shape of feathers..."

"Chef sculptures..." Tian Bufan mused, "It seems that every unit that meets with an accident within the campus area turns into a sculpture, which could explain why there are so many phalanxes of sculptures..."

It was like an ancient Western fantasy story where a necromancer enters the battlefield; as long as there is enough blue energy, after entering the battlefield and killing off a wave of enemies, he could turn the enemies into his own undead puppets. The sculptures seemed to work the same way... After killing a person, they’d turn them into a sculpture, snowballing their power to become invincible.

"From your tone, those black apron-wearing chefs seem to have extraordinary combat abilities... If they turn back into ’pseudo-humans’ in their sculpture form at night, how should we deal with them?"

"Uh... I don’t know about that." Lin Yi shook his head.

Then Tian Bufan asked again, "Also, what exactly are the ’newborn pseudo-human Experience Students’?"

Lin Yi smacked his forehead, full of apologies, "Ah, I’ve been so busy talking to you about the black apron-wearing chefs and the Angel Sculptures that I completely forgot to resync with you guys about a few concepts and terms."

"Here’s the thing, those human sculptures we’ve seen are actually pseudo-human sculptures, mostly consisting of Experience Students who’ve lost their identity anchors, and Experience Students killed and sculpturized by pseudo-humans."

For these two groups of units, the former still have a chance to revert back, like Zhou Yuting, while the latter have no chance, like Little Genius.

’Non-human classmates’ are officially defined as ’pseudo-humans’ and ’newborn pseudo-humans’;

’Nocturnal species’ are what pseudo-human sculptures become when they can no longer maintain their human form, and ’purebred Nightwalkers’ are those things in the elevators, in the shadows of the Teaching Building.

Lin Yi shared the definitions he had mastered with Tian Bufan and the others.

Experience Students who are contaminated will become newborn pseudo-humans, and if the newborn pseudo-humans are not eliminated, they will become pseudo-humans, while Art Students will become pseudo-human Art Students...

"I see." Tian Bufan nodded slightly, "Speaking of which, you’ve made quite a progress in pulling yourself back from those eerie chants."

Lin Yi patted his chest, "After all, I am someone who studies late into the night!"

Wei Liang couldn’t help but turn around and scoff, "Whether it’s profound historical texts or history.avi, I have my reservations. In my opinion, you must have used my method to stay safe. Fess up, were you fantasizing about a black silk mature lady or a white silk lolita this time?"

Lin Yi’s expression changed slightly, thinking ’Wei Liang knows me well,’ but he still retorted with a bit of defiance, "Nonsense, I absolutely did not!"

The boss was all about bare legs, not black or white silk. Even if it were a mature lady, she wouldn’t be a black silk one, but a shiny white silk mature lady... Lin Yi thought to himself that this was the absolute truth.

"Hmm? Such a determined tone, wouldn’t you have been fantasizing about Li Huiyuan in her pink getup? A young girl... actually, that would work too, damned, why didn’t I think of that?" Wei Liang exclaimed in admiration. Li Huiyuan’s wardrobe seemed to include all sorts of uniforms, and she had a strong sense of youthfulness. She and Lin Yi had a life-and-death relationship, and in a critical moment, fantasizing about her to save one’s own life wasn’t out of the question.

"That’s rubbish, it’s not true!" Lin Yi frowned.

"I knew it wasn’t true, I was just messing with you. Looks like you did fantasize about the boss!" Wei Liang said with disdain, "Bare Legs Cult? Or something else? Beautiful feet?"

"Get out! Get out! Get out!" Lin Yi waved his hands frantically, feeling a bit guilty. In reality, whether the feet were beautiful or not wasn’t the main point; those super long legs were the real killer feature.

Beautiful feet were just the icing on the cake.

"None of that?" Wei Liang’s face changed dramatically, and he finally couldn’t hold back, "Old Lin, you son of a... no, dammit, I knew it, you must have been fantasizing about me!"

"?"

"I’ve been suspecting your sexual orientation since the day before yesterday... I treat you like a brother; don’t tell me you’re actually lusting after my body?"

"??"

"All this talk about beautiful legs, the boss, Li Huiyuan, it’s all just an excuse to cover up your XP, you’re Nan Tong, aren’t you?"

"??????"
