#132 - Mirror [Add 1000 words! ]
Gradually, those "rustling" sounds became clearer in his ears, like an old television with a screen full of static, its signal going from blurry to clear, captured by Lin Yi's hearing.
Within that "rustling" sound, there seemed to be some kind of dry whisper, a language he could understand, as if saying:
【Is it time...?】
【Time's up... It seems it is.】
【Get out! Get out now!】
【I'm suffocating!! I'm suffocating!!!】
【Twisting and turning through another day, panting and puffing through another year...】
【Stop dawdling! Let me out, let me out!】
【I need air! I need air...】
【...】
Lin Yi's scalp tingled, and he suddenly realized that these sounds were coming from the wriggling flesh inside the elevator car!
"They want to come out?"
"But, I opened the elevator door... It shouldn't be time for them to come out yet, right?"
"Then what are they going to do now, wait for the elevator door to close again?"
Lin Yi retreated to a safe area, making sure he was okay, and then carefully observed their behavior logic.
Because the part of the units with eyeballs exposed were still observing the environment, those units squeezed deep inside became impatient.
【Something's not right...】
【It's bright... It's still bright...】
【Bright your mother's XX... Let me out! Let me out!!! My XX has been twisted into a spring!】
【I want to get out too! Who stuck their foot into my X flower!】
【Get out--Did you think I enjoyed stirring your intestines and messing with your undigested ketchup?!】
Countless voices buzzed and crowded in the elevator, sounding like a swarm of flies buzzing around.
【Don't push! It's still bright, it's still bright!】
【Get out!! Get out!! I want to get out!!】
【Damn it, don't push... don't push...】
【I want to get out!!】
【Shit, shit, shit... Don't push! I'm going to fall, I'm going to fall... No... no, no, no... No--】
Finally, a certain piece of flesh on the outermost layer was gradually squeezed out by the flesh inside, like squeezing out a blackhead. The scene was so disgusting that Lin Yi felt his intestines twisting in his chest...
It wailed constantly, but was still uncontrollably squeezed out, and fell outside the elevator with a "splat" like a stress ball.
It looked like a withered rubber man, as if someone had removed all the bones and squeezed it together. After falling out, it began to wriggle and spread out on the ground, and the rubber-like form gradually regained the appearance of a head, torso, and limbs...
But before it could recover well, the remaining non-human classmates in the elevator car, after losing it, experienced a slight loosening of the entire collective. Those units that had been clamoring and exerting force finally squeezed out as well.
They cheered and slammed onto the first lump of flesh like they were ambushing you.
Several lumps of flesh intertwined during the extension, the scene looked abstract and perverted, and also carried a strong sense of nausea, completely like some boneless soft-bodied animals extending their bodies while cursing...
But in the continuous cry of 【It's still bright】 from the first unit, other units quickly realized that something was wrong...
That scorching aura outside the dark area, like a fiery mountain...
That aura belonging to the light...
That taste... of daytime!!!!
Heaven... is it really still bright?!
【Ah--Ah--Heaven! It's really bright!!!】
【Go back--Go back--】
The flesh on the ground struggled and wriggled, starting to wriggle towards the elevator car.
At this moment, the elevator made a "beep--" sound because it had been open for too long, hovering over their heads like a death countdown.
【It's going to close! It's going to close!】
Inside the elevator car, the non-human units who realized something was wrong frantically contracted, and this contraction left ample and abundant space for the closing of the elevator door.
"Clang--" The elevator door closed in response.
【Don't close the door! Don't close the door!! Please don't close the door!!】
【Wait for me, wait for me--Just wait a moment--】
【No no no... No no no--No--】
As much as they wanted to escape the elevator before, they now wanted to return to the elevator, but no matter how they wriggled, the elevator door still closed with a "clang."
The two heavy metal doors clamped the part of them that had wriggled into the elevator, like a guillotine, while the other part remained outside.
Those pieces of flesh that were still outside the elevator struggled and fussed like oil in a hot pot. They kept cursing and roaring, trying their best to reach the "↑" button on the side of the elevator door, but they had no skeletal support, and after each time they arched up, they slumped softly on the ground like plasticine with a "splat."
Suddenly, when the flesh arched up to reach the "↑" button, a large eyeball wrapped within it captured Lin Yi's appearance...
【!!!】
The pupil of the eyeball contracted violently, as if seeing a savior.
【Hey--You! Can you hear me? I'm talking to you! That person over there!!】
Its flesh vibrated violently, like a wave constantly losing frequency, making a "rustling" sound.
Lin Yi knew it was talking to him, so he narrowed his eyes and gave no response.
【Help me press this button, help me press it!! I know you can hear my voice! Help me! Please, help me!!!】
It kept begging, but Lin Yi remained indifferent, just watching it coldly.
【Help me... help me... Right, right, right... right... Good boy... That's right, come here... come here...】
The voice from the flesh suddenly became gentle, and that gentle tone seemed to reveal some kind of bewitching magic that could constantly drive a certain creature to act.
But Lin Yi was clearly unaffected.
However, a figure suddenly walked out from beside him, and after passing his position, walked towards the shaded area...
"Li Hui Yuan?!" Lin Yi's spine went cold, and his whole body shuddered. He instantly realized that the lump of flesh was not talking to him at all, but was bewitching Li Hui Yuan!
"Crap!" Lin Yi quickly reached out and grabbed Li Hui Yuan's shoulder. Fortunately, when he touched Li Hui Yuan, he didn't feel the changes in her body, such as the temperature dropping or the layers falling.
After calming down a little, Lin Yi mustered his strength, and suddenly exerted force, pulling her back just before Li Hui Yuan was about to cross the dividing line of sunlight and enter the shaded area.
"Li Hui Yuan!" He pressed Li Hui Yuan's shoulders with both hands and shook her violently.
Li Hui Yuan's somewhat dazed eyes refocused, and then she hummed a little dizzily: "Lin classmate, don't shake me, don't shake me... It's too strong, I feel like my brain is going to be shaken evenly..."
Lin Yi then let go, wiped away his sweat, and exhaled: "It's good that you're okay."
Li Hui Yuan suddenly understood something, looked at the lump of flesh in front of the elevator in horror, her face suddenly turned pale, and she almost passed out directly.
Lin Yi quickly grabbed her, so she didn't fall.
But Li Hui Yuan immediately bent over and started to retch, as if she was about to vomit out her bile...
Lin Yi had no choice but to gently pat her... emmm... pat her back wearing a black sports vest.
"Stop retching... If you keep retching, you're going to vomit your chest out..." Lin Yi openly withdrew his gaze.
When Li Hui Yuan heard Lin Yi say this, she instantly realized that the uniform jacket only served as a bib, and her face instantly turned red. Her attention was immediately transferred from the weird and abstract flesh to Lin Yi, and some distorted cognition was also restored at once.
She instantly felt better, and could no longer hear the bewitching whispers at all.
She couldn't hear it anymore, but Lin Yi's ears echoed with the curses and curses of the flesh like a surround sound...
This made Lin Yi confirm an idea - that the non-human unit was indeed asking him for help at first, but in the end, it found that Li Hui Yuan was "summoned" one step ahead of him, so it gave the soft and gentle words to Li Hui Yuan.
Now that Lin Yi had foiled their scheme, the non-human classmate instantly went berserk.
It even writhed violently, like a puddle of rotten mud capable of launching itself at Lin Yi, but because another part of it was stuck in the elevator door, its efforts were futile.
"How stupid…" Lin Yi scorned in his heart, "With that effort, it might have been able to touch the button with a running start…"
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.
Gradually, after the non-human classmate's flesh failed in both cursing Lin Yi and trying to press the button, it gave up struggling and began to slowly writhe on the ground, like a puddle of animated rotten mud.
Lin Yi silently watched this scene, quietly backing away a little.
Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to look at Li Huiyuan: "Li Huiyuan."
"Huh…?"
"Do you have a mirror with you?"
"Mirror? What kind of mirror?" A trace of confusion appeared in Li Huiyuan's eyes, obviously she hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
"Just a small mirror for touching up makeup will do," Lin Yi said.
"Ah? Oh, oh, oh! I have one, wait a moment." Li Huiyuan quickly reached into her pleated skirt and fumbled around for a while, then, under Lin Yi's strange gaze, she pulled out a mirror…
That bizarre scene was extremely similar to Stephen Chow pulling out a soft sword from his crotch when battling Wu Sangui… It directly stunned Lin Yi.
Li Huiyuan seemed to realize something, her pretty face suddenly flushed red, and then she quickly explained, "Hey! Don't get any wrong ideas! These skirts all come with pockets! They're just more hidden, you can't see them!"
As she spoke, she smoothed out the pleats of her skirt, and sure enough, a small pocket appeared on the skirt's surface, which was not visible without careful inspection.
"Hiss… Ah, 666…" Lin Yi didn't have a girlfriend and wasn't a cross-dressing master, so he didn't know anything about this kind of intimate and thoughtful design. Seeing this, he could only reveal a look of "I don't really understand, but I'm greatly shocked," as if he suddenly understood everything.
Then, under Li Huiyuan's slightly tipsy expression, he took the small mirror…
At this time, if Lin Yi showed any expression that he shouldn't, it would make Li Huiyuan go crazy, but fortunately, Lin Yi knew the situation well and kept a serious expression on his face from beginning to end, giving off a sense of following the heavens and slaying demons, which instead made Li Huiyuan a little uneasy.
Lin Yi opened the lid of the mirror, adjusted the angle slightly in the sunlight, and shone a beam of natural light into that area.
The beam of light was like a sharp sword, tearing a crack in the dark area, and finally struck that mass of flesh.
【Ah—】
The sudden beam of light caused the flesh to howl in pain, and all the flesh and blood trembled, sizzling and emitting white smoke like pork belly on a baking sheet.
At this moment, Li Huiyuan suddenly spoke, "Lin… Lin classmate."
"What is it?"
Li Huiyuan pursed her lips tightly, pointing at the mass of flesh with some horror: "It… it seems to be emitting green smoke!"
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, because he also saw the green smoke that Li Huiyuan mentioned, and he even saw more than Li Huiyuan.
In that white smoke, he also saw a overlapping phantom, and the scene displayed in that phantom was the curling green smoke.
He stroked his chin and pondered: "Sure enough, it's the same kind of thing as the one in the toilet… at least in essence."
The non-human unit's flesh covered a large area, and it took Lin Yi more than ten minutes to bake it into a plaster-like substance, while Li Huiyuan had been watching with wide eyes: "It can be done like this…?"
Lin Yi closed the lid and returned the small mirror to Li Huiyuan: "I was just trying it out, it seems to have some effect."
"Keep this mirror safe, now it can be regarded as a piece of equipment with an active skill 'Dies in the Light'."
Li Huiyuan blinked her big, bright eyes, slowly typing out a question mark: "?"
Lin Yi briefly explained, "It's nothing, you can think that sunlight can pose a certain threat to them, and mirrors can reflect sunlight."
"Oh…"
"Actually, it's not a 'certain threat', but a 'fatal injury'." Lin Yi thought thoughtfully, "But, the sunlight reflected by the mirror obviously doesn't cause as much damage as directly receiving it outside the corridor… Could it be because the light is reflected?"
"It shouldn't be, right? Even if it's reflected, it's still sunlight…"
Lin Yi thought for a while, and ultimately believed that it was the reflection that caused the impact.
Because moonlight is actually a kind of reflected sunlight, and the light indoors during the day is also formed after sunlight has undergone various reflections, but those non-human units can still move in areas that are not directly exposed to sunlight.
"It seems that the more direct the beam of light, the greater the power… But overall, the power of mirror-reflected light is still very considerable."
"However, since the elevator in the teaching building is a hiding place for non-human units, then why not build it in an area that can be directly exposed to sunlight?"
Lin Yi pondered for a moment, and immediately guessed a reason—art students.
The builders of the campus should have considered the situation of the art students.
Art students need to use the elevator to travel between the teaching building and the art building, and if even normal art students are somewhat afraid of sunlight, then the design of the teaching building elevator would make sense.
Lin Yi stared at the buttons on the elevator door for a while, then helplessly shook his head, sighed, and muttered, "It seems like there's no chance to observe the internal situation of the elevator now…"
He originally had this idea, thinking that after the elevator door opened, if it looked safe, he would stick his head in and take a peek, at least he should scan the floor button array to see what its internal design was like, right?
But now there is definitely no chance.
You should know that it is not very scientific from a design perspective to build an elevator in a teaching building with only four floors.
And the information displayed on the floor button array is often very crucial, and may even hide some vital clues.
But now we definitely have to wait for the things inside to come out first.
Those things should be non-human classmates, but there is still some difference from the "form" seen in the classroom. Lin Yi guessed that there should still be some unknown changes between the two.
If he could stay here and keep staring at the elevator, he might be able to see how those non-human classmates slowly change from that rotten mud flesh state to a zombie-like state, but doing so itself carries a not small risk.
"There's no chance during the day, maybe I can find a chance to come back to the elevator in the evening."
Lin Yi clearly remembered that when he returned to the classroom after dinner yesterday, those non-human classmates had already returned to the classroom.
It can be seen that there should be no "people" in the elevator at that time.
Lin Yi observed the surrounding environment. From the perspective of light, from now on, the area of sunlight will begin to shift outwards. By the evening, the shadow area in front of the elevator will expand to the maximum.
"However… the lights should already be on by then. Although the area of darkness has increased, overall it is still limited."
Lin Yi suddenly thought of something, took out the digital camera from his small satchel, tried to compare the lens, and then slowly stretched it.
If he left the digital camera here at the right time, there would indeed be a chance to photograph the scene of the non-human classmates leaving the elevator, but there was no suitable place to hide the digital camera around.
After some observation, Lin Yi dismissed the idea.
Li Huiyuan looked at the digital camera in Lin Yi's hand, her mouth slightly open, and said in surprise: "This is…?"
