Chapter 928: Chapter 430: Arrival! Teaching Building "Taboo Area B-5F"!

It didn’t take long before a shadow swiftly approached the Teaching Building from the distance.

Lin Yi’s eyes lit up: "The opportunity is here! Let’s go!"

He took the lead, hastening his steps and darting into the stairwell. Seeing this, Li Huiyuan followed closely behind.

"By the way, just in case—let’s hold hands!"

"Alright!"

The two clasped hands as they entered the stairwell. Once they reached their position, Lin Yi patiently waited for the light outside to grow dim.

Within half a minute, the light outside the stairwell began to fade.

At the same time, a chilling breath started to slowly seep into the stairwell...

"Shhhh... Shhhh..."

Space began to subtly distort, and the Nocturnal species compressed within the layers emitted sharp, hoarse growls. They resembled a mass of water lilies slowly surfacing from the depths, squirming, twisting, and crawling darkly, inch by inch emerging at the end of the stairwell...

Lin Yi retracted his gaze from outside the stairwell. As he turned his head, he immediately heard Li Huiyuan let out a startled cry.

"Ah!"

Lin Yi’s eyes followed instinctively, and he abruptly discovered the root of Li Huiyuan’s alarm—the Nocturnal species that had nearly filled the entire stairway passage!

The creatures resembled a mutated swarm of bats subjected to radiation, their mangled skins peeling off like torn canvas clinging to exposed bone and flesh.

Beneath their ruptured surfaces, their muscle fibers starkly unraveled, squirming ceaselessly with each breath and compression, like tangled roots of an ancient tree brought to life.

Upon seeing Li Huiyuan, the bloodshot, bulging eyeballs squeezed out among the creatures immediately turned toward her, rolling grotesquely. Their misshapen oral cavities erupted into toothy, distorted grins:

[You... see me now!]

[See me now!!!]

Li Huiyuan’s complexion instantly turned pale, and her body trembled slightly with fright. However, she quickly regained composure, shouted angrily, and raised her palm—secret marks surged, intertwining with her sky blue aura. A bat-like weapon, smaller than a regular baseball bat, formed in her grasp.

As the bat materialized, the Nocturnal species showed no signs of fear. Instead, they laughed even more viciously, with escalating greed glinting in their eyes. Their twisted mouths began to drool and elongate...

[Such a delicious bat...]

[Want to eat...]

[So tempting to eat...]

"Perverts... Absolute freaks!!" Li Huiyuan gripped the bat tightly, her voice trembling not out of fear, but disgust. She had never before encountered such abnormal monstrosities.

"Ssssllluuurppp..."

The Nocturnal species exhibited deranged, grotesque expressions, akin to walking corpses.

"I’ll handle this."

Lin Yi gently pulled Li Huiyuan’s hand, guiding her to stand behind him. Facing the swarm head-on, he adjusted his stance, summoned his focus, and began to prepare. Slowly, he opened his mouth...

In the next instant, a deep, drawn-out tonal chant mixed with indescribable ominous rhythms stirred within Lin Yi’s chest cavity, reverberating like the howl of a windstorm. Finally, the sound escaped his throat at a deliberate pace:

"『De——som jager——lyset——i tåke blir——til slutt——fan——tomer!!!』"

Caution—"Those Who Chase the Light Through the Fog End Up as Phantoms"!!!

"Hooooosh——"

The chilling gale, sharp as blades, encircled Lin Yi, enveloping both his and Li Huiyuan’s bodies. Though the wind had no substance, it created ripple-like waves around them.

The Nocturnal species paid no heed to the wind, for the moment they heard the caution, their expressions contorted with terror, abruptly ceasing their strange utterances, and screaming in panic as they scattered to both sides.

A pathway covered in mucus and unknown filth emerged before Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan.

The pathway’s origin lay just beneath Lin Yi’s feet. Its appearance was ephemeral, as though projected by a flickering slide projector, or resembling the ripple-covered surface of a pool bottom.

The ripples across the layers trembled unsteadily, and Lin Yi sensed that external factors might be influencing the flux.

The clouds seemed ready to pass over the Teaching Building, and the shadows were fading.

"Go!"

Lin Yi roared deeply, pulling Li Huiyuan’s hand as they advanced beyond the boundary. The moment they traversed the line, a cool sensation rippled across Lin Yi’s skin like undulating water, and the world before them took on a misty, filtered haze.

All the Nocturnal species huddled along the stairwell’s edges, staring at Lin Yi with horror and yearning. They seemed torn, wanting desperately to approach him yet paralyzed by fear of the caution he had unleashed.

Within the passage, drawn-out tonal echoes reverberated all around. The caution fragmented as if fractured by time, scattering into countless vocal shards that swirled everywhere.

"De... som... jager... lyset... i... tåke... blir... til... slutt... fan——tomer!!!"

"Lin Yi, Lin Yi, Lin Yi... I, I, I..." Li Huiyuan, overwhelmed by the surreal sight, attempted to speak, only to find her own voice accompanied by multiple overlapping echoes ranging from strong to weak. Alarmed, she quickly covered her mouth.

Lin Yi, though it was his first time traversing such a layered dimension, remained cautiously curious. With Li Huiyuan at his side, he felt an unspoken sense of responsibility. Determined to proceed prudently, he confirmed the endpoint ahead and led Li Huiyuan onward.

Glancing at his wristwatch, Lin Yi noticed the hands seemed to move sluggishly.

"The flow of time within this layer... as expected, it’s experiencing fluctuations."

He vaguely felt a strong summoning presence beyond the stairwell. However, he dared not act rashly or cross any forbidden boundaries during this initial venture—all actions had to be carefully measured.
