#262 - "Sorry, time is up."
"Take us with you... Lin Yi..."
"Hahaha..."
"Let's go together... Let's go together..."
"Hehe..."
"Go?"
I am about to leave. Come and try if you have the ability.
Lin Yi wasn't absolutely certain that this plan would work, but he was more than 80% confident of success.
And here, even if there is more than 50% certainty, it is invaluable!
So he first squatted down on the steps with flowing water, then adjusted his breathing and mentality, and then glanced at the time.
10:43.
A look of determination appeared in his eyes, and then he slowly straightened up, standing against the fierce wind like a stubborn stone, gradually adapting to the feeling of being eroded by the wind, and then took the step of climbing the stairs!
"Puff!"
With one step down, a splash of water instantly splashed under his feet.
His expression remained unchanged, and he continued to climb up the steps.
He took every step with great effort, but he didn't think about stopping at all, almost maintaining a rhythm of one step per breath.
"Lin Yi..."
"Don't waste your efforts... You can't escape... You can't escape..."
"Hehehe..."
"Take us with you... Let's go together... Let's go together..."
"Hehe..."
The sound of the iron chains "lightly clanging" constantly hit the eerie rhythm in the wind, mixing with those magical calls, like a song that disturbed people's hearts, constantly drilling into Lin Yi's ears...
"Want to use me?! Dream on! Dream on!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth, maintaining his rhythm, and kept climbing up the steps.
It's just that these steps seem to be endless. At the end of the distance, there is only a blurred white light spot, and the wind is still constantly pouring in, like sea water filling here.
"Thirty-six!"
...
"Seventy-eight!"
...
With each step, Lin Yi silently counted it in his heart. He was already sweating profusely, but the clothes on his chest had long been dried by the wind. The fierce wind was like a pair of invisible hands, as if even his body was about to be stretched...
"Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety... nine..."
Heavily landing on the ninety-ninth step, Lin Yi gasped for a few breaths in place.
He looked down at his watch.
10:48.
"The time is just right..." he muttered to himself.
Then, he re-scanned the surrounding environment.
"Sorry... Time's up..." Lin Yi sneered in his heart, "One hundred steps... 5 minutes..."
"Goodbye."
He silently raised his foot. In front of him were still endless steps, and the hazy white light seemed to be still at the end of the sky, but a confident smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yi's mouth.
The one hundredth step.
He silently recited in his heart, looking down at his feet, his eyes moving with his shoes, moving from the ninety-ninth step and landing on the one hundredth step.
"Pa."
A very steady step, and when the shoes landed, they didn't touch any water.
The steps under his feet were very normal. It was the texture of the steps in the student passage. There was no pitted smooth surface, nor was it covered with flowing water. There was no strong wind in front of him, no sound of wind in his ears, and no more of that weird and evil call...
He slowly raised his head, and in front of him was Wei Liang's back. Everything was as usual, as if Wei Liang didn't know what had happened at all.
It's just that at this moment, he has already walked out of the student passage and arrived in the area in front of the student restaurant.
Everything returned to normal. Everything just now was like a nightmare. The only thing that could prove that it wasn't a dream was his pair of soaking wet shoes, and the reverse mohawk hairstyle that was blown out by the wind for free.
Lin Yi quickly leaned against the wall and sat on the ground, his heart filled with ecstasy, but he didn't have any strength to express his joy.
He succeeded!
He really did it!
Without using any existing anchors, he escaped from that strange layer!
"My idea was indeed correct!"
"'Cognition' is the underlying logic of the anchor! And the most stable anchor is not only limited to 'anchoring self-cognition', but also 'anchoring the cognition of the campus'!"
What exactly is going on here?
The reason is that Lin Yi, who could only see Wei Liang's back, thought of a sentence Wei Liang said when he carried him out of the student passage when he first encountered the mist in the student passage at the most critical moment -
"One hundred steps, no more, no less!"
And that time, he had seen the time both before entering and after leaving the student passage!
The total time spent... more than 4 minutes!
And it was these two conditions that led Lin Yi to the "cognition" that "the student passage has a total of 100 steps, and it can be passed by maintaining that normal speed, which takes about 4 minutes!"
That's right, facing this almost infinitely long layer trap, if you just want to chase the white light of the exit, then even if you walk to death, the white light is like a illusory mirage that you can't get.
And if you use information like "My name is Lin Yi, my student number is X0230506098, I am in the student passage of the cafeteria" to try to anchor yourself back... First of all, it is uncertain whether you can come back before your identity information is taken away, and whether you can really dig yourself out of such a deep layer, and secondly, even if you come back, it is hard to say whether it is only "yourself" who comes back.
In this environment, the only thing Lin Yi can use is this "unique anchor point" that almost only works for himself.
"I don't care how long your steps are, I am 100% 'sure' that I can walk out after only taking one hundred steps."
If it's not enough, then add another layer of time anchor.
For Lin Yi, this is the condition for leaving.
But for those humanoid sculptures who have been trapped in the layer for who knows how long, they absolutely cannot understand this level of Lin Yi's thinking, so they can only watch Lin Yi disappear.
Too subtle... It's really too subtle...
I didn't expect that Wei Liang's unintentional sigh would become the key clue for Lin Yi to break the situation now.
"I'll go..." Lin Yi was stunned for a moment when he thought of this, "Speaking of which, why does Liangzi know the number of steps here so clearly?"
"Could it be... this is also the experience Liangzi summarized when he came here for the first time?"
"Or... he encountered the crisis I just had?"
If Wei Liang was just bored and counted the steps, that's fine, but if he encountered such a crisis... Lin Yi took a hard breath, he probably didn't know this method at that time, so how did he run out?!
Lin Yi's thoughts fluctuated, looking at Wei Liang beside him, one idea after another came to his mind.
Suddenly, Wei Liang "puchi" laughed.
"I'll go... Hahaha... Hahahaha - Lao Lin, you, you, you..." Wei Liang pointed at Lin Yi, his body trembling, looking like he couldn't stop laughing, "What kind of hairstyle is this? Did someone smear your face with a mop? Hahahaha... cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Wei Liang held his stomach, bowed his body, and laughed like a toad.
Lin Yi was also speechless, but he didn't have time to argue with Wei Liang, just kept panting, his eyes fell on the exit of the student passage, watching the experiential students coming out of the passage one by one, and remained silent.
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine, and an inexplicable feeling of unease arose in his heart.
Almost subconsciously, he glanced behind him like lightning.
However, there was nothing behind him.
"Are you doing it again?" Wei Liang was startled by Lin Yi. "Didn't you sleep well? Why are you so suspicious?"
"Could it be that you're developing some kind of paranoia?"
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm fine."
"Alright, you know yourself best. If you say you're fine, then you're fine," Wei Liang shrugged. "But if anything happens, remember to tell me in advance..."
The latest novels are first published on 6_9_book_bar!
"Okay..." Lin Yi felt a warmth in his heart and nodded gratefully. He didn't expect this guy to finish his sentence with: "So I can report to Teacher Lin for you and experience your sweet ten minutes..."
Lin Yi: "..."
I treat you like a brother, and you treat me like a stepping stone???
Excessive!
Just then, a person walked out of the student entrance, and it was none other than Tian Bufan.
As soon as Tian Bufan came out, he greeted Lin Yi.
Lin Yi also hurried over and said, "We're just waiting for Wei Sang and Kuai Kuai."
"Don't worry about Kuai Kuai, let's wait for Wei Sang."
"Okay, then shall we chat first?"
"No problem, what progress have you made?" Tian Bufan asked directly.
Lin Yi quickly said, "Don't talk about that yet, I have another question."
"What do you want to ask?"
"I remember you took the digital camera last night. I'm curious, what did you film?"
Hearing this, Tian Bufan sighed helplessly: "You're talking about that... alas..."
"What's wrong?"
"I checked it as soon as I woke up, but unfortunately, I didn't see much key information," Tian Bufan said. "In order to film more comprehensively, I even replaced a battery before starting, but unfortunately, I still miscalculated a bit... The camera's memory is limited, so it automatically stopped after filming for only 40 minutes."
"That Pan Jian had already used up some of the memory before entering the school."
Hearing this, Lin Yi also sighed a little regretfully: "Then... how much did you film?"
"I pointed the digital camera at the dormitory door, wanting to film the dorm manager... but it finished filming before I could even wait," Tian Bufan said speechlessly.
"But the dorm manager only entered the dormitory around 2 o'clock. Even if the camera had enough memory, it probably couldn't film for that long," Lin Yi comforted. "Did you film anything else?"
"I filmed the scene of the dormitory flipping over, which is almost consistent with what Wei Sang said. Also, if you turn the volume to the maximum, you can hear some strange... noise."
"Noise?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up. "Did you bring it with you? Let me see."
Tian Bufan reached into his pocket and threw a digital camera to Lin Yi: "I left the bag in the dormitory, I only brought this camera, but I don't suggest you watch it now. Let's go back to the classroom after eating and watch it slowly."
"The head teacher wants me to go to the gymnasium immediately after eating," Lin Yi said, putting away the digital camera, obediently giving up the idea of watching it at this time.
"Oh?" Tian Bufan couldn't help but narrow his eyes, but then nodded slightly, "That's a good opportunity to explore the gymnasium... at least, it's more opportunity to explore."
"I'll try my best..." Lin Yi pouted.
Tian Bufan asked again: "What happened to you that would make the head teacher give such advice?"
Lin Yi said, "The head teacher suspects that I have attracted the attention of something. After thinking about it, maybe it's because Mao Zi was contaminated with the mark of 'He-I', and then shared a portion of the 'effect' with me."
"From the perspective of pollution transmission, it's possible, but in that case, we should all have that kind of problem," Tian Bufan pondered.
"That's right!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up. "Have you encountered any problems?"
"Not yet... perhaps it's a problem of the cognitive domain?"
"Or maybe it's some other reason... such as the effect of the transmitted mark not being enough, or it dissipated and wasn't enough to affect me?"
"Not enough information, can't make an accurate judgment," Tian Bufan shook his head.
Lin Yi said: "Okay... but, the head teacher seems to call 'He-I' an 'Angel'. This seems to be different from Mu Daxian's description..."
Tian Bufan said: "Just like we call those three levels of Him 'He-I', 'He-II', 'He-III', other people's names for them must also be different."
"Moreover, this instead illustrates a problem..."
Tian Bufan's angle of thinking was something Lin Yi had never thought of. Lin Yi asked in surprise: "What problem?"
"That is, perhaps the head teacher and the art students are not clear about the concept of 'Angel'. What exactly is an 'Angel'?"
"What is its observable form like?"
"What is its form of existence?"
"Why are the head teacher and the art students' descriptions of 'Angel' different? It is precisely possible because... the boundary of 'Angel' is very vague, and even to some extent, what we think of as 'He-I' may be 'Angel'…"
Lin Yi was reminded and his spirits were lifted: "What you said makes sense! Just like everyone's physique is different, 'He-I' may also have a pollution range! And the lower limit of this range may be 'Angel'!"
"I understand this too well!" Wei Liang couldn't help but interject, "In 'Black X Beast', there is a dark-skinned elf who sometimes can't handle being 1V1 by the lord, but sometimes she can 1V a screen full of them, plus those male units that didn't appear in the shadows! Her pollution range is extremely wide!"
The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and his forehead was covered with black lines: "Can't you give a more... normal example?"
"Ah? Is there a problem?" Wei Liang was stunned for a moment.
"Forget it... no problem," Lin Yi supported his forehead, but he was thoughtful in his heart.
As a small group, many of their concepts are self-named. Fortunately, one or two names are the same as the definitions given by the school district and that mysterious company, but the vast majority of the concepts are still inconsistent.
Therefore, whether it is "non-human classmates" or "He-I" and the like, they are first given a definition within a small group, and then replaced after obtaining a "well-known" definition.
Tian Bufan didn't know what Lin Yi was thinking, so he asked: "What did you discover this morning?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment, then nodded: "I gave the paper to the head teacher, and the head teacher showed me the sign-in record when Song Rentou came last time."
"Is there any clue in this sign-in record?" Tian Bufan asked.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly: "There are few clues... but we can't say there are none."
