Chapter 657: Chapter 300: Lin Yi’s Illusion

Although she had always been drawn to Lin Yi, when she was actually approached, she subconsciously developed a sense of resistance.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.

When he was hugging her, he didn’t notice and just thought there was a soft cushion, but as soon as Li Huiyuan jumped away, the warm-cool touch disappeared in an instant, and he started to feel a sense of loss.

"I just now..." His gaze flickered, trying to recall.

That’s right...

Didn’t he just see the reflection in the water and then see that reflection reaching out a hand?

He just wanted to deal with it once and for all while Boss was still around!

"But how did I end up grabbing Li Huiyuan?"

"No, no, no... That hand... That was Li Huiyuan’s hand!"

"What’s going on..."

"What exactly is going on?"

"Boundary!"

"The hand that reached out wasn’t faceless, it was Li Huiyuan’s, but... when exactly did Phantom Vision end?"

His thoughts were suddenly a bit jumbled because the boundary between what he perceived as ’real’ and ’illusion’ seemed to start blurring...

Just as he was about to ponder these things again, a strange tune suddenly began to resound:

"For a moment I was dazed~ a sense of loss~"

"Unconsciously fading away~ love in my heart~"

Lin Yi was stunned, the thoughts that were about to drown him were abruptly interrupted.

On one hand, the singing was indescribable, the only thing on point was the beat, and the Cantonese accent was really awkward.

On the other hand, following the singing, he saw a shrinking figure swimming along the edge of the pool...

It was Wei Liang.

"Forgive me for living an unrestrained life loving freedom~"

He seemed very happy, showing off as he swam over.

"Also afraid that one day I will..."

A lifebuoy flew from far away, drawing an arc and "plop" landing right on his head.

Xia Lian on the shore pulled the rope of the lifebuoy, dragging him back like retrieving a landed kite.

Coincidentally, at that moment, he reached the part "Also afraid that one day I will fall" followed by "ohoh~", so this awkward sight combined with that "ohoh" somehow sounded like "oh~ON!"

This sequence left Lin Yi dumbfounded.

"No... did Liangzi purposely swim over to give me a BGM? What the heck..."

Lin Yi was confounded by this absurd feeling, Li Huiyuan was also stunned, and for a moment actually forgot to question Lin Yi what on earth he thought he was doing.

At this time, Boss spoke up: "What happened just now?"

Only then did Lin Yi get up from the ground, and said: "I... seemed to have had an illusion."

"Illusion?" Boss was slightly taken aback, "What did you see?"

"A me without a face," Lin Yi replied.

"Don’t talk about yourself like that, although you were indeed a bit excessive just now, a bit rough, a bit impolite, but I forgive you!" Seeing Lin Yi’s self-reflection, Li Huiyuan’s rising anger dissipated on its own.

"No... I mean, I saw myself in the pool without a face," Lin Yi shook his head.

Boss frowned slightly: "Faceless? Any more details?"

"The other details of my appearance are gone..." Lin Yi regretfully shook his head, "But I also saw that in the reflection of the pool, instead of incandescent lamps on the ceiling, there were sculptures all tied up with chains and hanging in their place."

"Those broken human sculptures missing arms and legs," he added.

Boss narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"Boss, have you seen those sculptures? Where are they?" Lin Yi asked.

Boss looked at him: "Do you know where they are?"

Lin Yi pondered for a moment: "When I had the illusion, it seemed like I saw them in... Group C, Class 18."

He said this while observing Boss’s expression, but Boss’s face remained impassive.

"Boss also knows, doesn’t he?" he thought to himself.

"Group C, Class 18?" Li Huiyuan opened her mouth wide, "Did you go exploring the Teaching Building again this morning?"

"Did you enter other classrooms? But that’s not right; the Teaching Building only has four floors, it ends with Class 12, how can there be Class 18?"

Hearing this, Boss just looked at him, seemingly also waiting for his answer.

Lin Yi shook his head: "I have never been there, so I said it was an illusion..."

"Boss, do you know about this class?"

"Of course, I know," Boss calmly said, "It’s just an abandoned classroom."

"Uh... is there more?"

"That’s all," Boss said, "Whether it’s an illusion or you really went there but think you didn’t... neither is a good thing."

"It seems that as an ’Experience Student’, absorbing Ashes does indeed bring some uncontrollable negative changes..."

Lin Yi hesitated: "Boss, are you saying, all this is the influence of Ashes?"

Boss shook his head: "Hard to say, but all the abnormal changes since you entered the school area can be attributed to ’Contamination’, which naturally includes the part from Ashes."

"Only... the changes that have appeared on you seem more dangerous than I imagined."

Lin Yi unconsciously pursed his lips.

Boss looked at him: "Get in the water, we’ll talk more in there."

"Okay." Lin Yi decisively crouched at the edge of the pool, but just before he got in, suddenly he seemed to remember something, looking at Li Huiyuan, "Did I just crouch down?"

Li Huiyuan rolled her eyes: "Otherwise, why would I stretch my hand out in front of you for you to tug? Do you think I have extendable arms?"

Lin Yi was at a loss for words, but a sense of alarm stirred within him.
