#298 - Almost time-stopped
"Red… Could that be the color representing a deeper level of corruption?"
"Have you… have you finished showering yet?" The question from the Pseudo Li Kai pulled him back to reality.
Lin Yi faintly sensed a murderous intent… That guy was undoubtedly planning to kill him.
However, he could also understand, after all… that Pseudo Li Kai had suffered quite a bit at his hands.
Judging from this, it could have directly attacked me, but it deliberately waited for me to shower, luring me to open my eyes… It only became murderous after the plan failed…"
If the plan had succeeded, there would have been another Pseudo Lin Yi. As they are the same kind, there would naturally be no need for murderous intent.
If the plan failed, killing him could also potentially create a pseudo…
"Huh… since they are both pseudos, why not just kill me directly?"
"It seems the secret lies in the 'bathroom'!"
You can't close your eyes when washing your hair in the dorm.
You can't open your eyes when washing your hair in the gym. You need to confirm with the supervising physical education student before opening your eyes…
Originally, Lin Yi only thought that whether you close your eyes or not when washing your hair would affect the stability of the layer, but from the perspective of Pseudo Li Kai, there might be a deeper reason.
"Are you done yet?" Seeing that Lin Yi didn't respond, Pseudo Li Kai finally couldn't help but ask.
During this time, it had tried several times to extract itself, but all had failed.
Lin Yi's foot was like a nail, pinning it to the non-slip floor mat.
It vaguely realized that Lin Yi had discovered some problems, so it gradually stopped concealing its original murderous intent.
"Almost done! Wait for me a bit longer!" Lin Yi replied, a hint of feigned impatience appearing on his face.
It wasn't that he was worried about being attacked by Pseudo Li Kai, but he felt that the part of the body that Pseudo Li Kai had infiltrated was clearly stiffening and about to break off from the main body outside the waterproof curtain, but it was just that last little bit that wouldn't break, like breaking up but still going back for a booty call.
Lin Yi couldn't take it anymore and started stomping hard.
After a few stomps, it was indeed covered in cracks, but it still wouldn't break like a rubber candy.
Lin Yi couldn't help but frown, feeling a little helpless. He recalled how Boss had killed the green-bibbed chef and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Maybe I can guide the cyan aura to wrap around my feet and then attack it?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but scold himself in his heart: Dumbass, how could you forget that you're not a normal person anymore!
You're almost not human anymore, and you don't know how to do something that fits your 'identity'?
As rations that even the three great angel statues want to eat, if he can't even handle a pseudo, wouldn't that be embarrassing for the angel statue?!
That won't do!
Wouldn't that turn the grinning angel into a laughing-so-hard angel?!
No sooner said than done, Lin Yi took a deep breath and applied the method of mobilizing the cyan aura that he had initially mastered in gymnastics training. Before long, he felt streams of energy surging in his body, turning into cyan aura, circulating through the blood, and injecting into the soles of his feet.
He looked at his feet. With the blessing of extraordinary power, the skin on his feet seemed to have become much fairer, even exuding a jade-like texture, giving it a "Mystic Jade Foot" flavor.
Coupled with the faint cyan steam wrapped around his entire leg, he himself had the feeling that this kick could produce the aura of "Jade feet shattering the sky"…
He raised his foot and then stomped down hard.
"Crack—"
His foot was like a sharp axe, instantly splitting the part that was almost petrified.
Behind the waterproof curtain, Pseudo Li Kai's body trembled violently. Then, because it was already pulling hard, the sudden break in connection also caused it to fall to the ground under the effect of inertia.
Lin Yi decisively hung up this part of the body that was still stuffed with the showerhead, keeping the showerhead spraying water. At the same time, he quickly put on a bath towel and reached out to pull open the waterproof curtain.
The moment he opened the waterproof curtain, "Advanced Perception" was triggered automatically, and his vision dimmed accordingly.
In that environment seemingly shrouded in a slow-motion halo, a rubbery, stretched tentacle pierced in like a sharp sword from the opening of the waterproof curtain, heading straight for Lin Yi's chest as if it had its own sensor.
Lin Yi was prepared, and with "Advanced Perception" and the instantaneous burst of speed, he naturally dodged the attack with ease.
The tentacle shot "thud" against the bathroom's back wall tiles. The extremely tough material actually burst out with a crisp sound of bones cracking.
At the same time, in Lin Yi's vision, he saw wisps of cold blue steam rising from the cracked area.
What Lin Yi didn't expect was that after this tentacle missed its strike, it immediately swept downward, directly probing towards the showerhead hanging on the wall!
"'Returning the Piece'? !"
Lin Yi's pupils shrank, raising his estimation of Pseudo Li Kai's IQ by another level.
"It wants to take back its part of the body!"
《Unless they are under the sun, they cannot be completely killed》
Mu Daxian's words appeared in his mind.
"If it takes it back, then everything I've done will be for nothing!"
Seeing that the tip of the tentacle had already touched the bottom of the showerhead, Lin Yi instantly burst out with a speed surpassing it. He used an "Asura Flash" to snatch the showerhead, then used the showerhead's connecting pipe to strangle the tentacle and casually tied a knot.
After doing this, the waterproof curtain was also completely opened, and Pseudo Li Kai's current appearance was unreservedly displayed in front of Lin Yi!
Although Lin Yi had already prepared himself by looking at the shadow on the waterproof curtain, he couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea when he saw Pseudo Li Kai's current appearance with his own eyes.
Pseudo Li Kai looked like a piece of flesh-colored rubber melting in high temperature. Most of the features on its body could no longer be associated with "human." Its face looked like a gash had been torn open, half of its face dragging on the ground and extending all the way to the waterproof curtain…
One could imagine that the body wrapped around the large eyeball was directly split from its head.
And its body had split open even more. Except for its nearly melted legs still standing on the ground, its upper body opened up like a flower, and the tentacle that shot towards Lin Yi was one of the split objects.
The current Pseudo Li Kai looked like an upside-down octopus stuck on the ground.
Don't look at Lin Yi observing carefully, but this actually didn't take much time.
He rushed out of the bathroom and quickly observed the surrounding environment, then estimated Pseudo Li Kai's range of activity, and then rushed towards a bathroom not far away.
"Lin Yi... I've been waiting for you for so long!" the Pseudo-man Li Kai roared, sounding extremely angry, but his face showed no expression, only a wooden look completely inconsistent with his current emotions.
Lin Yi grabbed the showerhead in the bathroom, turned it on, and rushed out.
"I'm so sorry to keep you waiting until your 'flowers' withered!"
Lin Yi spoke as if chatting with a friend, but his hands didn't hesitate at all, directly spraying the showerhead at the Pseudo-man Li Kai's remaining eye.
The Pseudo-man Li Kai swung several fleshy strips, shielding his face like an umbrella to block the spray of water, while other fleshy strips stabbed at Lin Yi like sharp spears.
Lin Yi quickly dodged, and the fleshy spears stabbed into the non-slip floor of the gymnasium with a series of thuds, but the material of the floor tiles under the non-slip floor was unknown, causing the stabbed fleshy spears to break off cleanly.
Lin Yi ran to another bathroom, detached the showerhead, and threw it over with the water running.
He didn't need to aim accurately; he just needed to turn on enough showerheads, and it would be forced to defend passively.
When the third showerhead was turned on and thrown out, he heard a painful groan from the Pseudo-man Li Kai.
Some water droplets penetrated its net of flesh, dripping onto the tender flesh inside, which was exposed due to the splitting of the fleshy strips, and then the tender flesh began to emit white steam, as if splashed with sulfuric acid.
Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
It could be done this way?
He tore off the bath towel from his body, avoided the subsequent pursuing fleshy strips, and threw it above the Pseudo-man Li Kai.
His bath towel was already soaked with water, and when thrown, it spread out like a net, covering the Pseudo-man Li Kai.
At this moment, the Pseudo-man Li Kai retracted all the ejected fleshy strips, pulling them back in unison.
Lin Yi grabbed one of the fleshy strips, using the inertia of the retraction to rush towards the Pseudo-man Li Kai's main body.
He tore off the last bath towel from his body and, before the fleshy strips closed like petals, stuffed it hard into its body.
This soaked bath towel, like a crowbar, jammed its process of returning to human form, stopping the final step of its closure.
As the other fleshy strips contracted, the internal squeezing force squeezed all the water absorbed by the bath towel, corroding its internal tender flesh.
"Hiss—"
A large amount of white steam spewed out from its body, like a giant human-shaped humidifier, its body convulsing violently, as if it had suffered extremely serious injuries.
But at this moment, the fleshy strip that Lin Yi was holding wrapped around Lin Yi's hand instead.
"Crap!"
The fleshy strip was like a thick steel rope, tightly缠绕Lin Yi, no matter how Lin Yi struggled, he couldn't move even a bit.
The remaining fleshy strips also began to peel off from the Pseudo-man Li Kai's body, slowly opening like a giant man-eating flower, revealing a crack full of sharp teeth.
The sprayed water droplets filled this area of the bathing area, and the surroundings were like a hazy space filled with steam and white mist, the light of the incandescent lamps was distorted, and everything seemed to have turned into another appearance.
The Pseudo-man Li Kai opened its body in the water curtain it resisted, and the fragile tender flesh inside had already been scarred by the water flow from the showerhead, and the pink flesh was covered with stiff petrified spots.
It seemed... to have given up resisting.
"What a pity... originally... you should have become... one of... us..."
The Pseudo-man Li Kai's face was ashen, like an old stone sculpture, and accompanied by a disgusting rotten smell, constantly eroding Lin Yi's nasal cavity.
The only remaining eye on its face had turned into a stone-like bead, but it still "gurgled" and turned towards Lin Yi.
"Not of our kind... then... be eaten by our kind..."
"You can only... become... my nourishment..."
"Tomato... I want... tomato..."
"No..."
"I want... everything..."
It swallowed down towards Lin Yi.
Black shadows enveloped Lin Yi, and the breath of death was difficult to hide with fear.
The constantly struggling Lin Yi seemed to foresee death at this moment.
But suddenly, his vision flickered at an almost insane frequency, and he found that the Pseudo-man Li Kai's opened body seemed to be still, and the surrounding light was even so dim that it made people feel uncomfortable...
The Pseudo-man Li Kai in his eyes began to be only an almost transparent outline, and he saw the flowing blue aura, gray aura, and some light red aura in the opponent's body...
These auras converged into a flowing force, centered on its heart, and transported to the countless fleshy strips, especially the fleshy strip that bound his arm, which was even red, like a hot iron.
Everything around him became slower and slower, and Lin Yi, who had activated "High-Level Induction" to the limit, was like Barry Allen enveloped by the Speed Force, and he seemed to have more... "time" than the Pseudo-man Li Kai.
He even had time to glance at the watch on his wrist.
The time on the watch was 14:32, and the moving pointer was frozen at the 47-second position, moving towards the lower 48 seconds at an extremely slow speed.
Lin Yi tried to break free from the shackles of the fleshy strip, but the inner wall of the flesh seemed to have some suction cups, which were firmly attached to his skin.
He seemed to see some "primal pollution" and sky-blue aura flowing from his arm to the fleshy strip, and then becoming the Pseudo-man Li Kai's food.
In the face of absolute restraint, he had speed but no way to save himself.
This pale and powerless instant acceleration is like the time-stop cheat with its own side effects—the effect of the cheat is "can stop time", and the side effect is "cannot act when using the cheat".
However, after all, this only seems to be "time stop", and time is still passing.
While Lin Yi was observing it and frantically calculating and thinking, its opened fleshy strips had formed a spherical encirclement, like a fly swatter covering his front, bit by bit蚕食 his last retreat...
If he is swallowed by it, I don't know what terrible situation will happen...
Lin Yi doesn't know anything about the Pseudo-man's "digestive system", but he will never be optimistic about it.
Under absolute rationality, Lin Yi looked at his arm that was tightly bound, and an absurd and terrible idea popped up like a scroll bar.
This may be... the only way to break free!
