“Shasha, shasha…”
As Lin Yi entered the dense mist, countless Nocturnal species and Human Sculptures began to move in the darkness, with inhuman units from near and far starting to encircle him as if a swarm of Ghouls had scented living flesh and rushed towards it en masse.
Lin Yi could naturally hear such sounds, but he couldn’t afford to care too much about them now, as he was now racing against the Grim Reaper-like Human Sculptures.
A single Human Sculpture is not frightening, but what about ten, a hundred, or even more?
A vast expanse of Human Sculptures could crush a person just by their sheer number!
Lin Yi maintained rhythmic breathing and stride frequency, running on ground that he couldn’t tell if it was a Cobblestone path or so kind of soft sandy soil, not even knowing where he found the strength to carry Wei Liang, who was nearly as heavy as himself, at such a swift pace.
You should know that a person who has nearly lost consciousness won’t adjust their center of gravity, making it nothing like the effortless portrayal on TV.
Moreover, on TV they always carry so handso little princess, and according to the plot, they sohow always end up in a deserted temple on a mountain where they light a fire, and the cara pans to clothes drying while actually conducting so pay-to-unlock scenes of injecting billions of efforts into healing wounds, so when they run, they’re full of passionate power.
How different that is from what he was facing!
Lin Yi wasn’t sprinting straight towards “Dormitory building-096” but was instead running along a twisted and rippling path close to “Dormitory building-093,” “Dormitory building-094,” and “Dormitory building-095” according to the extrapolations in his mind.
By doing this, even though the light from the lamp posts was flickering, he could still catch so of their fading light, easing the pressure slightly.
This ti, it took him only 25 seconds to reach the lit area beneath the lamp post of “Dormitory building-093.” When he arrived under the light, the inhuman units encircling him quickly dispersed in all directions, none daring to follow him into the lit area.
Even though the light from the lamp post appeared to be dimming terribly.
In front of the lamp post of “Dormitory building-093” where no inhuman classmates were facing the wall, Lin Yi took a few breaths with Wei Liang and then continued to sprint.
And as soon as he left the lit area, those inhuman units that had been hesitant to approach gathered around once again.
In the darkness, within the Grey Mist, these inhuman units seed to form into a massive set of Ripples.
It was as if soone’s hand was pushing through a pile of soybeans, Lin Yi, with Wei Liang on his back, was like that hand, and the Ripples ford by the inhuman units resembled the creases made in soybeans by the moving palm; they seed to surround Lin Yi but never had the chance to take that ultimate step to completely close the ring.
After 30 seconds, the lamp post of “Dormitory building-094” finally ca into view of Lin Yi.
The inhuman classmates who had been facing the wall seed to sense sothing and, like dolls on a turntable, slowly co to life, then silently stood in place, their gazes falling distantly upon Lin Yi, their austere faces displaying an abstract expression of “I want you to think I’m both tense and scared.”
“Classmate…
classmate!
Co here!
Hurry up!” one of the inhuman classmates called out while waving and shouting loudly at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi, as if he hadn’t heard its calling, gritted his teeth and kept sprinting, and in a few seconds, he burst through the mist to enter the light beneath the lamp post of “Dormitory building-094.”
He knew full well that the other side was deliberately luring him, but what could he do, he genuinely needed those few monts of respite and that tiny interval basked in light.
Even though the light no longer afforded him the slightest warmth, when the sowhat weary Lin Yi arrived under the light, he still felt a sensation as if he was charging up.
This feeling wasn’t apparent usually, but when he was fatigued to a certain extent, it beca clear.
“Classmate, are you alright?” an inhuman classmate inquired with concern, while a few others also slowly approached them, subtly surrounding the two of them.
“It’s not safe over there, co to the lamp post here,” another inhuman classmate said, wanting to give Lin Yi a hand.
Lin Yi clutched the sheet to secure Wei Liang with one hand, while the other rested on his knee, staring at the ground and catching his breath like a person who has been carrying a load for several kiloters, completely ignoring the inhuman classmates.
Although they were nearly beside him, he seed to still be imrsed in his own world.
21:15:43, the inhuman classmates were only two paces away from Lin Yi.
21:15:48, the nearest inhuman classmate’s toes had already entered Lin Yi’s field of vision.
“Classmate, co here,” the inhuman classmate said slowly stretching out a hand towards Lin Yi.
“Ah…” Lin Yi sighed deeply, stood up, supporting himself on his knees, and slowly let go of the hand holding the sheet as if he were about to reach for the inhuman classmate’s hand.
“That’s right, that’s right…,” the corner of the inhuman classmate’s mouth slowly curled up, quickly going beyond a normal curve and cracking into a grotesque smile that stretched to the roots of the ears.
The voice that emanated from its mouth beca increasingly bewitching, transforming from a dry, hoarse sound into a llow and gentle tone, as if it could soothe a person’s heart.
