Chapter 643: Chapter 293: The Beguilement of Pseudo-Human Li Kai

[You can wash your hair with your eyes closed in the Gymnasium, but if you do so, please inform the Sports Student in advance so he can ensure he’s beside you. During hair washing, no matter what abnormality you feel, do not open your eyes. Tell yourself you’re washing your hair in the shower area, and only after finishing your hair wash and drying off, confirm completion with the Sports Student before opening your eyes.]

’Closed-eye hair washing’... It must be an accident related to washing hair with closed eyes...

The notice doesn’t say that a Sports Student needs to be present for the shower, which means that having a lookout isn’t strictly necessary for just showering.

So, Li Kai must have been washing his hair.

"That means, he opened his eyes while washing his hair... It must have been because he heard the fight between Yan Bujiao and the Chef in the green apron, and made a mistake in a panic, which led to his own demise..."

By now, Lin Yi has almost figured out the whole situation beyond the details, with the only unknowns being the details of Yan Bujiao’s fight and what happened to Li Kai after violating the rules that led to the emergence of Pseudo-Human Li Kai.

Moreover, until now, Pseudo-Human Li Kai hasn’t made a move, indicating that his intelligence isn’t low.

"Could it be that the Pseudo-Human Sports Students really only start trouble after leading people out of the experience area?"

"Or is it that, the right moment for him hasn’t come yet?"

If Lin Yi had encountered this incident by chance, perhaps he would have speculated in this direction, but don’t forget, Pseudo-Human Li Kai was specifically called over by Boss for him to keep watch while he washed his hair.

In other words... the Boss seems to think that he’s going to wash his hair?

However, washing hair is definitely not an option, at least not under these circumstances.

What if he’s washing perfectly fine, and Pseudo-Human Li Kai suddenly starts trouble and prevents him from washing properly?

Wouldn’t that be a dead end?

Lin Yi couldn’t fathom Boss’s thoughts, not even remotely.

Since that’s the case, he could only proceed at his own pace.

So, after calmly rinsing his body, he planned to feign washing his hair to test Pseudo-Human Li Kai.

Unexpectedly, it seemed that Pseudo-Human Li Kai couldn’t hold back any longer and cautiously asked him, "Lin Yi, have you started to wash your hair?"

"Oh, I just started washing, what’s up?" Lin Yi bent down, using the shower head to spray his armpit, pretending to be washing his hair.

"I was just asking. As long as you are washing, it’s good... it’s good..." Pseudo-Human Li Kai spoke naturally, with no detectable issues in his tone.

But Lin Yi knew, this was where the problem lay.

’This Pseudo-Human Li Kai is indeed waiting for me to wash my hair, is his goal to cause an accident by influencing me while washing, and then turn me into... a Pseudo-Human?’

Lin Yi’s mind was filled with doubt—the Chef in the green apron appeared and affected Yan Bujiao, but in the end, Li Kai was replaced by a Pseudo-Human...

If that’s the case, what role did the Chef in the green apron play here?

It’s undeniable that the Chef in the green apron affected Yan Bujiao, but if Li Kai had just finished washing his hair as usual, wouldn’t there be no issue?

What’s the connection between these two?

If the Chef in the green apron was to steal Identity Credentials, then it should have been the Chef in the green apron with Li Kai’s appearance, or at least, it should have been someone with a chef’s appearance, right? How could it turn into a Sports Student dressed as Li Kai?

This... doesn’t even make sense in terms of ’skin’!

Moreover, if that were the case, the real Li Kai should still be alive!

Just like the spider-form Chef in the green apron who took Huiyuan’s Identity Credential and anchored herself as a chef, making an additional Chef Huiyuan appear in the Cafeteria!

So, where is the real Li Kai?

As Lin Yi pondered this question, Pseudo-Human Li Kai, who was outside the shower curtain, suddenly spoke out, "Lin Yi... are you still washing your hair?"

"I am..." Lin Yi replied, his heart tightening, wondering if this guy’s true colors were about to show?

Then he heard Pseudo-Human Li Kai say, "Lin Yi, I just thought I saw something slip behind the curtain. Can you check if there’s anything?"

"I don’t know... I have my eyes closed!" Lin Yi responded.

"Then open your eyes and check carefully, I don’t know what that thing is, it might accidentally hurt you!" Pseudo-Human Li Kai added.

Lin Yi understood, Pseudo-Human Li Kai was trying to lure him into opening his eyes while washing hair, but how could such a low-level trick deceive anyone?

Could it be that a person’s intelligence lowers while in a state of washing hair, making them susceptible to deception?

"Then... let me look for you?" Pseudo-Human Li Kai tentatively said.

"No, no, no... let me finish showering first!" Lin Yi decisively refused.

Rejected, Pseudo-Human Li Kai stopped talking and stood outside the shower curtain as still as a gravestone, with Lin Yi able to clearly see its statue-like immobility through the light of the incandescent lamp.

’This thing... after being declined, it stopped moving; is there some special mechanism at play?’

Lin Yi thought about the ’Entry’ regulation in the Dormitory rules—units not invited cannot enter the dormitory.

So, this Pseudo-Human can’t force its way into the shower curtain?

This shower curtain... just by hanging here, does it possess the nature of a "door"?

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly felt the hair on his arm stand up slightly, and as if by induction, he turned his head halfway out from the position where he was pretending to shower and started observing Pseudo-Human Li Kai through the shadow on the shower curtain.

He saw Pseudo-Human Li Kai’s body unnaturally twist and then, like a humanoid flower bud, slowly bloom open.
