Chapter 567: Chapter 256: The Sailor Uniform Girl Turned Green_2

But after his shock, he felt as if he were losing his mind, wondering how such an unrealistic thought could have crossed his mind.

Obviously, the cafeteria rules had been laid out again by the logistics’ dark apron-wearing chefs; how could they possibly be refreshed?

"Today has been full of shocks and suspicions..." Lin Yi sighed inwardly, as if under the psychological suggestion of Class Teacher-040, feeling that he really should go to the gymnasium as soon as possible.

At this moment, he could somewhat understand the feelings Li Huiyuan must have had back then.

Gradually, he noticed that there seemed to be more figures around, all Experience Students. The eerie part was that he hadn’t realized there were so many Experience Students waiting in front of the cafeteria just a moment ago.

Moreover, what puzzled him was that among the vast number of people, he couldn’t spot a single Sports Student wearing a blue and white striped uniform.

"Perhaps... the Sports Students have reversed their clothes in advance?" Lin Yi wasn’t sure, but no matter how much he searched, he couldn’t find anyone with the characteristics of a Sports Student.

But as he looked around, and because his gaze moved too quickly, in that blurry sense of a camera frame, it seemed as though he captured a figure with a distinctly different visual "frame rate."

"Hmm...?"

This sensation shocked him, but when he stopped his gaze, he couldn’t find that visual residue, the shadow anymore.

He tried shaking his head, and that visual residue appeared again, and... it seemed to be even closer to him.

So he continued to shake his sight, trying to use the visual residue to pinpoint the approximate location of that shadow, but while shaking his head, he was stopped by Wei Liang.

"Hey, hey, hey...," Wei Liang grabbed Lin Yi’s shoulders, "Are you okay? Got a crick in your neck?"

"I’m fine," Lin Yi quickly replied, somewhat certain of the position of that residual image. If it hadn’t been for Wei Liang’s interruption, he felt he could have completely captured it.

"Then what are you doing? Using your eyes as radar?" Wei Liang said speechlessly.

"I..." Lin Yi wanted to argue, but immediately ran out of steam, "You’re right, Liangzi..."

"What???" Now it was Wei Liang’s turn to be confused, "What?"

Lin Yi didn’t explain; his first instinct after being interrupted by Wei Liang was to offer an explanation, but he was no longer who he used to be. Now, his main approach was to remain cautious, so he recited "Liangzi’s First Law" in his mind first.

"Liangzi’s First Law: The more critical the moment, the more you need to ’De-Hua’ Liangzi’s actions."

Thereupon, Lin Yi had an epiphany: "Liangzi was preventing me from observing that residual image, wasn’t he?"

"Why would he prevent me?"

He might as well continue to De-Hua it...

Then, it struck him like a flash: "Could it be some kind of special mechanism, like... ’mutual locking’?!"

At that moment, Lin Yi’s mind exploded with the thought—

"I see you."

"I saw the residual image, and the residual image saw me? Can it... attack me?"

"Hsss..."

He took a sharp breath of cold air, feeling a chill run through his body; indeed, a Landmine Warrior could step on a landmine anywhere he went...

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing... I just think you’re right, my neck is just sore, maybe it’s... delayed stiff neck."

Wei Liang was speechless, thinking, you were fine this morning and now you’re coming up with a stiff neck, but at that moment, he suddenly said, "Hey, Old Lin, look over there, isn’t that what’s-his-name?"

Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat, but he still quickly turned to look. After a glance, he first froze, then silently gasped in shock.

"Why her again?"

The object of attention was none other than the sailor uniform girl, who had been absent for a long time.

The impression Lin Yi now had of this girl was different; she seemed to emanate a thin layer of light green breath. It appeared as if that sailor uniform had gotten an indescribable, eerie green tint, and even the pink Kitty hair clip on her head had turned green.

Her entire figure gave off the feeling that it had been stripped, dipped in a green fluorescent dye, and then put back on.

Lin Yi merely stared at her for a few seconds, but another figure reacted faster than he did. This figure sidestepped swiftly, cutting between Lin Yi and her with a "swoosh," as sharp as a blade’s edge, then traversed the vast distance to meet Lin Yi’s gaze and flashed a meaningful smile.

Lin Yi was taken aback and quickly averted his gaze, but his heart skipped a beat, and his mind was filled with the person’s eyes and attire.

"That girl... has she started to have someone protect her?"

That person turned out to be a Pseudo-Human Art Student, tall and skinny with eyes sharp as knives, a nose bent like an eagle’s beak, and a smile at the corner of his mouth that was wild and fierce, resembling a lean version of a Penguin Person.

"Could it be the Pseudo-Human Art Students over there also ’old leading new,’ just like Mu Daxian picked Maozi, they picked her?"

"So... could it be that he is the boss of the Pseudo-Human Art Students?"

It must be said, having been scrutinized by someone who seemed to be the boss of the Pseudo-Human Art Students, Lin Yi felt somewhat intimidated.

But what he didn’t see was that the moment he turned his head, the Pseudo-Human Art Student, having glimpsed something, narrowed his eyes slightly, then silently withdrew his gaze.

...

At another entrance.

The sailor uniform girl, whose skin was the only part of her not tinged slightly green, seemed to have sensed something and couldn’t help but glance in the direction of Lin Yi.

Unlike the first encounter on the blue bus, the brash vigor she had carried seemed to have dissipated quite a bit, while her eyes now held a shadowy energy, making it hard to tell if it was dark circles under her eyes or eyeshadow.

She looked like an immature Black Sorceress, squinting in Lin Yi’s direction. She didn’t know Lin Yi was watching her but, driven by some strange ’induction,’ or rather... resonance, she still turned her attention to him.

"Senior, what’s wrong?" she asked puzzled.

The lean, Penguin-like Pseudo-Human Art Student said indifferently, "Nothing much, just spotted a good seedling. I really want to pull him into our honorable evolution squad."

"Should I go talk to him?" In the shadowy area next to the Penguin Person Pseudo-Human Art Student, another Pseudo-Human Art Student slowly spoke up, "Those barbaric guys will be too busy to bother with the Experience Students, it’s a good opportunity for ’Bu Ze’."

The Penguin Pseudo-Human Art Student pondered for a moment before murmuring, "Alright, I still need to take to the Convenience Store, you can handle the Bu Ze matter. If he turns out stubborn..."

"Don’t worry..." The figure emerged slowly from the shadows, twisting his neck, emitting a stone-crushing, low sound, "We will bring back either him or his body... at least one of them."

"Is that so?"

Not until this moment did that person truly reveal his face.

He was wrapped in bandages from head to toe, like a mummy, with a mask over his face, and behind him, he carried a cylinder tightly bound with bandages.

He looked like a mummy version of a Wandering Mage.

"Keep it clean, don’t start a fight in the cafeteria area, try to do it when he’s left the cafeteria and before reaching the Teaching Building... that place is not quite right," he said.

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing, hehehe..." The Bandage Pseudo-Human Art Student twisted his body unnaturally and laughed creepily, "If the Teacher knew we brought back a decent seed, she would definitely be pleased, wouldn’t she? Hehehe..."

A few Pseudo-Human Art Students entered other passages, laughing and joking, but the Bandage Pseudo-Human Art Student noticed the sailor uniform girl seemed somewhat preoccupied and asked, "Zhang Lingzhen, is there something you want to say?"

The sailor uniform girl "Zhang Lingzhen" hesitated and then said, "Senior, I’m not sure if the person you’re targeting is the same one I sensed...but if it is, I want to say, that boy, he arrived with the same batch as me."

"Oh?" Beneath the Bandage Pseudo-Human Art Student’s mask, a flicker of light seemed to pass.
