384: Chapter 176 “Corner” Conjecture 384: Chapter 176 “Corner” Conjecture Lin Yi felt that Tian Bufan was a bit like a compressed file with a lot of secrets; as the ti he spent in the school area increased, the unzipped content beca more and more…
But if Tian Bufan knew everything, why bother exploring the school area?
He couldn’t figure it out…
Lin Yi shook his head secretly, and the first thing he could be certain of was that Wei Shan definitely had sothing up his sleeve in the aspect of “beating the non-human Unit”.
Moreover, he wanted to ask Wei Shan whether he knew anything related to the Green Mist Mark.
After attacking the Nocturnal species, his body had been branded with the Green Mist Mark, and it couldn’t be erased by conventional ans… Plus, since Wei Shan had always been attacking them, he must have also been contaminated with the Green Mist Mark.
So he wanted to know what Wei Shan thought about this.
Wei Shan’s hand-washing paused for a mont, “Is there a problem with that?”
Lin Yi slowly voiced his doubts; he even wondered if Wei Shan had already “figured out the mystery of the Green Mist Mark”—how else could he dare to kick the Nocturnal species and stomp on Green hat?
“Old Lin, you’re asking the wrong person about this kind of question,” Wei Shan shook his head and answered without hesitation, “For a systematic, theoretical response, you should be asking Young Master Tian.”
“The fatty’s right about this,” Kuai Hongji chid in from the side, “The fatty deals with things not based on brains, but ‘instinctive intuition.'”
“Instinct…” Lin Yi frowned slightly.
The biggest difference between humans and beasts was reasoning, and if you act on instinct, how was Wei Shan different from a beast?
Kuai Hongji laughed, it was unclear whether he was praising or mocking Wei Shan: “‘Blind foolishness,’ sotis can resist Contamination better than ‘rationality.’ The fatty might be the strongest among us in this regard.”
“Of course, the main point is that he has no brain…”
Before he could finish, a pillow flew at him like a sandbag.
Kuai Hongji easily dodged the pillow, but soone else cried out:
“Damn!
My pillow!”
Wei Liang, who was lying in bed, poked his head out, looking down at the two arch-enemies below like a resentful little ghost.
Lin Yi cleared his throat and picked up the pillow for him.
After getting his pillow back, Wei Liang mumbled sothing about how aweso you guys are, one liked to pull the threads out of my blankets, and the other liked to yank my pillows, next ti you’re going to take sothing, give a heads up, will you?
I’ll have it all ready for you…
He rolled over and buried the pillow under his head.
“However…” Wei Shan began to speak, “Attacking the non-human Unit leads to Contamination, and Contamination attracts the attention of the non-human Unit, so once you start fighting them, you fall into a vicious cycle.”
“So… the guidelines don’t ntion a word about whether we can actively attack them?” Lin Yi contemplated, “Because in so cases, in the interest of self-defense, you would have to take them down and be forced to absorb the Contamination, which is better than being directly killed by them.”
Wei Shan nodded, “If you really want to break it down, it’s sothing like that, but I didn’t think about it that much…
as soon as I see them, I get extrely irritable, wishing I could just tear them apart, like…”
He frowned as he turned his gaze to Kuai Hongji.
“Hey, hey, hey, that’s not funny at all.” Kuai Hongji held up his hands in surrender, “I’m not like them.”
“It’s different, but I always want to beat you up.”
“Keep it to your thoughts, will you?” Kuai Hongji smiled sinisterly, “Don’t take it to heart, or else…
heh heh heh heh…
I won’t hold back.”
“Okay, okay, Kuai Kuai, don’t change the subject.” Lin Yi rubbed his temples; these two guys, can’t go three sentences without ntioning a beating.
“Wei Sang…
do you have a ‘Green Mist Mark’ on you?”
Green Mist Mark was his summary of the green mist’s Contamination produced when a Nocturnal species was killed, but he had already explained the concept just a mont ago, so there’s no need to go into detail again, just ask directly.
Wei Shan shook his head, “Actually, I don’t quite understand the mark you are talking about…
What does it look like?”
This was easy to explain, so Lin Yi took off his pajamas and pointed to his chest, “Look, it’s this…
but it can only be seen under special circumstances.”
Wei Shan shook his head, “I can’t see it, nor do I feel anything strange.”
“You shouldn’t be able to see it now…” Lin Yi said.
“But…
I don’t feel there’s a problem,” Wei Shan insisted, “Perhaps it’s gone?”
“What’s there to argue about!” Wei Liang flipped over in bed, exclaiming in exasperation, “From the way you talk, it’s not a tattoo, maybe you washed it off during your shower!”
Wei Liang’s words gave Lin Yi a jolt.
He did rember scrubbing off quite a bit of dirt in the shower today, and he had thought it was because he sweated more during the day, but perhaps…
the Green Mist Mark was indeed washed away by water?
‘Taking a shower’ was always sothing that could cleanse Contamination; he just overestimated the adhesiveness of the Green Mist Mark.
“You make a good point, Liangzi,” Lin Yi said earnestly.
“Damn, I was just rambling.” Wei Liang turned over, rolled back into a position with his head to the wall in his cocoon, and buried his head under the pillow.
“Liangzi, that covering your ears act may fool us but don’t fool yourself…” Lin Yi advised helplessly.
“I can’t hear you barking about anything.” Wei Liang’s voice tumbled down from the bed.
Then, Tian Bufan, having finished showering, tossed his laundry into the washing machine, “Kuai Kuai, your turn to shower.”
“Alright.” Kuai Hongji, who had been leaning against the wall eyeing the piece of paper left by Song Rentou, gave a light push off the wall, straitened up with the recoil, set down the paper, picked up his change of clothes, and took Tian Bufan’s place.
