354: Chapter 165: The Non-Human Classmate Who Waits by the Tree Stump for a Rabbit 354: Chapter 165: The Non-Human Classmate Who Waits by the Tree Stump for a Rabbit [I’m starving!
I’m starving!]
[We need food!]
[We need our own kind!]
[No, we all need it!!]
The mist churned, and restless voices were unceasing in the ears, rging with the wind and sand in a never-ending “shasha” sound.
“Shut up!” Nie Yun, a “non-human classmate,” emitted a hoarse voice, drained of extra emotion, “The invasion has just begun, there will be more people passing by here.”
“There are plenty of opportunities, don’t rush!”
“Just wait…”
Nie Yun, the “non-human classmate,” and Ge Qing, another “non-human classmate,” faced the lamppost wall without any tendency to move, as if ti had frozen amidst the still-floating mist.
In fact, Nie Yun’s ordeal bore so similarities to what Lin Yi had deduced, but the details were vastly different…
Suddenly, the swirling mist conveyed the sowhat agitated voices of the human sculptures:
[Soone’s coming!
Soone’s here!]
[It’s my turn this ti!]
[No, it should be my turn!]
“Idiots, all of you shut up!” Nie Yun, the “non-human classmate,” barked, “You’re too noisy!”
The mist imdiately returned to calmness.
And not far away beneath the lighter mist, an Experience Student with a terrified expression traversed the thinning fog and beca excited upon seeing “Lamppost-067,” quickly rushing over in a few strides.
He entered the lit range of “Lamppost-067,” panting, and then noticed there were two people standing ahead.
He paused, recalling the creepy, deceptive fog he had encountered on his way here, and considering the safety under the light of the lamppost, he couldn’t help but muster his courage to ask, “Cla-classmates…
what are you doing here?
Why aren’t you moving forward?”
He rembered what Class Teacher-040 had instructed before they left the classroom:
[During this process, you will definitely encounter various disturbances, including but not limited to those ntioned in the rules such as ‘seeing a lamppost with its light turned off’…
There are so disturbances that I can’t just tell you about, but rember, your safety is in your hands, do not attend to any external disturbances, the only things you can trust are the security guards, the lampposts, and yourself!]
He then speculated that the two people ahead might have noticed a problem or encountered so disturbance, which was why they hesitated here, and out of caution, he decided to try asking.
No sooner had he spoken than he heard a dry voice from the classmates ahead: “Classmate, we have encountered so difficulty…
we’d like to ask for your help…”
While speaking, the two turned their bodies stiffly like statues on a pedestal, eventually facing him eye to eye.
“Help us…
to die!!!”
Nie Yun, the “non-human classmate,” showed a ferocious look, his face cracking with his grotesque and exaggerated expression as he approached stiffly, like an underpowered robot, while the original classmate, terrified out of his wits, was stuck in place, trembling from head to toe but unable to move a step…
“You…
you-you-you…
you’re a disturbance…
you are…”
He had guessed much and sensed sothing, but he subconsciously forgot one thing—Class Teacher-040 also said they could only trust themselves and those with whom they shared life-and-death bonds.
The two “people” ahead…
had not encountered any disturbance.
They were the disturbance themselves.
Before he died, he realized this, but it was too late.
Fear spread before his eyes like a tide, and trembling, he was unable to utter a complete sentence, only to see Nie Yun, the “non-human classmate,” close the distance and then shove him out of the light’s protective range.
“Puh…”
He stumbled and fell into the mist, like a stone thrown into a lake, splashing up droplets.
[Mine!]
[No, it’s mine—]
The mist roiled, and the human sculptures rushed in like ghouls, leaving only the classmate’s desperate and fearful cries in the mist.
“Drag it away!
Soone’s coming!” Nie Yun, the “non-human classmate,” seed to sense sothing, glanced at the distant lamppost, and hurriedly ordered.
“Shasha…
shasha…”
The human sculptures beneath the mist quickly dragged the classmate’s body into the deep darkness.
Ge Qing, the “non-human classmate,” scanned the area briefly, then withdrew his gaze.
The two non-human classmates slowly moved back to their original spots and then stood still against the lamppost again, like unmoving sculptures.
…
“Liangzi, did you just hear any screams?”
Lin Yi, who had just left “Teaching Building-070,” looked at the distant lamppost ahead with so confusion and turned to Wei Liang.
Wei Liang shuddered slightly, fearfully saying, “God damn it, Old Lin, you aren’t hearing things, right?
Don’t freaking scare !”
“Emmm…” Lin Yi fell silent for a mont, a sense of alertness rising in his heart.
“Hey, there’s soone under the lamppost ahead!” Wei Liang exclaid.
“Sothing’s not right, it doesn’t look like a person,” Lin Yi shook his head slightly.
“Man, you…
” Wei Liang felt chills running down his spine, goosebumps erging as he said, “Late at night, can’t you say sothing auspicious?
That lamppost is lit, you know!”
“Theoretically, the classroom is still safe, didn’t Class Teacher send us out anyway?” Lin Yi said gravely, “A lit lamppost might be safe, but what’s underneath it might not be…”
Wei Liang was startled, “What…
what do you an?”
