#168 - Reverse cognitive pollution

Just then, some of the humanoid sculptures realized the severity of the situation and quickly shouted:

"Ignore that!"

"Push them! Push them down! Hurry!"

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

Ge Qing, the 'non-human classmate,' and Nie Yun, the 'non-human classmate,' also suddenly woke up and hurriedly said, "Classmate... Classmate, I need your help, you..."

They tried to pounce on Lin Yi and Wei Liang, but Lin Yi and Wei Liang were not the same as the previous classmate. They were already used to this kind of situation. Since the non-human classmates' movements were greatly restricted under the light, Lin Yi and Wei Liang easily avoided their attacks.

It looked like Zhu Bajie trying to grab a maiden with a veil over his head during the Four Sages testing Zen Mind – unable to touch them, completely unable to touch Lin Yi and Wei Liang at all!

Moreover, Lin Yi and Wei Liang had more than just this trick. The two circled around the 'Teaching Building - 067' lamppost, causing Ge Qing, the 'non-human classmate,' and Nie Yun, the 'non-human classmate,' to crash headfirst into each other.

At the same time, they kept muttering, "Oh dear, Classmate Ge Qing, are you alright?"

"Classmate Nie Yun, are you alright?"

"Get lost! I'm Ge Qing, he's Nie Yun!"

"Yes, I'm Ge Qing, he's Nie Yun!" Finally, Nie Yun, the 'non-human classmate,' first experienced cognitive confusion and began to lose track of whose identity he had taken.

Lin Yi and Wei Liang exchanged a glance and quickly added fuel to the fire, chattering like two Lo Ka-ying versions of Tang Sanzang. The two non-human classmates immediately felt as uncomfortable as if they had been subjected to the tight-fillet spell.

"I'm Nie Yun..."

"No, I'm Nie Yun, you're Ge Qing..."

"I'm Ge Qing..."

"Ah—Ah—Who am I?!"

"Who am I?!"

They walked unsteadily like two drunkards, trying to stabilize their self-awareness while still following Lin Yi and Wei Liang around the lamppost, trying to push them out of the lamplight's range.

Before long, both of them were guided by Lin Yi and Wei Liang to crash headfirst into each other.

This time, Lin Yi kicked one of the non-human classmates in the butt, saying, "Classmate Ge Qing, off you go!"

Wei Liang also understood and kicked the other non-human classmate in the butt, saying, "Classmate Nie Yun, bye-bye!"

The two shouted in unison, exerting their strength to kick the two non-human classmates who had crashed into each other directly out of the lamplight's range!

The two non-human classmates' self-awareness had already been shattered by Lin Yi and Wei Liang's combined efforts. As they fell into the mist, as they moved away from the light, strange changes returned to their bodies...

The pale white mist began to pour into their bodies, causing their original humanoid forms to turn cyan at a speed visible to the naked eye, then grayish-white, and finally pure white plaster...

However, they did not turn into humanoid sculptures, but into the state of humanoid frames with rolling white plaster that Lin Yi had seen when his vision skipped frames. Their faces continuously distorted their features like unstable liquid metal heated up, sometimes showing Ge Qing's characteristics and sometimes Nie Yun's.

At the same time, they were still constantly muttering things like, "I'm Ge Qing, no, I'm Nie Yun." Their cognition was becoming more and more chaotic, and an even more chilling scene began to appear. When their cognition collapsed, the two masses of plaster actually showed signs of merging, vaguely turning into a strange sculpture with two heads, four arms, and four legs.

This sculpture looked like two torsos had been elongated like plasticine, rubbed together, and then two heads, four arms, and four legs had been inserted into the torsos at will according to personal preference. The most disgusting thing was that the faces of both heads were in a state of true facial feature chaos, and the skin was drooping down as if a part of it had melted...

When the two non-human sculptures were unable to anchor themselves, they strangely pieced together some kind of... abstract alien sculpture.

"Stop looking, Lao Lin, let's get out of here—" Wei Liang took Lin Yi's hand, "Let's run!"

"Go, go, go!" Lin Yi retracted his gaze and quickly ran to the next lamppost.

However, he was still a little excited in his heart, because he had quickly formulated this countermeasure based solely on the sentence spoken by these two non-human classmates when anchoring their self-identity: "I'm Nie Yun, my student ID is..." and "I'm Ge Qing, my student ID is..."—

"Plan B: Reverse Cognitive Pollution!"

...

After who knows how long, two embarrassed figures emitting white smoke struggled to climb back from the mist to under the 'Teaching Building - 067' lamppost.

"Idiot! We were tricked!" Nie Yun, the 'non-human classmate,' roared angrily, having finally recovered. At this time, there were still some plaster-like substances on its body, slowly wriggling and restoring it to its humanoid appearance.

"Slow down, give me back my hand!" Ge Qing, the 'non-human classmate,' followed beside it. If you looked closely, you could find that there were still some lingering connections between them, and behind Nie Yun, the 'non-human classmate,' there seemed to be an extra arm...

Ge Qing, the 'non-human classmate,' walked over, pulled the arm off its body, and then reattached it to its own arm.

They still wanted to argue about something, but a voice suddenly rang out, "Stop arguing, someone else is coming."

Another humanoid sculpture stepped out of the mist and into the lamplight's range, beginning to emit white mist and transform into a non-human classmate. The appearance of this non-human classmate was exactly the same as the classmate who had been killed by Nie Yun, the 'non-human classmate,' and Ge Qing, the 'non-human classmate,' before.

"I'm Li Jiannan," the third non-human classmate said. "This time, there's only one person. Don't make any more mistakes!"

"Hmph!" Nie Yun, the 'non-human classmate,' snorted coldly and returned to the posture of facing the wall under the lamppost.

Not long after, a slightly chubby humanoid outline slowly emerged under the lamplight.

Wei Shan broke through the mist and arrived within the lamplight's range of the 'Teaching Building - 067' lamppost.

Wei Shan immediately noticed the three non-human classmates facing the wall in front of the lamppost. His sharp eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Pfft..."

He slightly arched his body, and a low sound came from his throat, like a beast.

Before he could get close to the three non-human classmates, they all turned around a little, like ghosts turning around, unable to see their limb movements at all.

"Classmate, we've encountered some difficulties... We'd like to ask you for some help..." Nie Yun, the 'non-human classmate,' said faintly. As he spoke, Ge Qing, the 'non-human classmate,' and Li Jiannan, the 'non-human classmate,' slowly approached Wei Shan.

"Classmate... help us..."

"Help us..."

"Go to hell!! Uh... Huh?"

Nie Yun, the "inhuman classmate," forcefully shoved Wei Shan, but Wei Shan, like a nimble fat man, sidestepped the push. Then, with a backhand, he landed a solid front kick on its back, sending it directly out of the lamplight and into the thick fog!

Following his attack, Wei Shan sidestepped another attack from Ge Qing, the "inhuman classmate," then reached out and grabbed the opponent's arm, twisting it like a rope against Li Jiannan, the "inhuman classmate's," chest. With a burst of strength, he pushed both Ge Qing, the "inhuman classmate," and Li Jiannan, the "inhuman classmate," into the thick fog.

But this time, he held back, grabbing Ge Qing, the "inhuman classmate's," arm, so that most of its body entered the thick fog, while a small part remained in the light.

A bizarre scene began to unfold. In the thick fog, the inhuman classmates began to frantically absorb the fog like sponges, transforming from human form into plaster-like sculptures.

The part of the body under the lamplight still looked like human flesh.

【Ah… Ah—】

The inhuman classmates let out low roars in the thick fog, writhing madly, trying to return to the lamplight, but Wei Shan was like a relentless bulldozer, blocking them from the light.

After a while, Wei Shan exerted his strength and pulled Ge Qing, the "inhuman classmate," back from the thick fog.

At this moment, half of Ge Qing, the "inhuman classmate's," body remained in the fleshy form of the inhuman classmate, while the part that had entered the thick fog had completely transformed into a human-shaped sculpture, including the head.

When Wei Shan pulled it back, Ge Qing, the "human-shaped sculpture," quickly looked at Wei Shan.

As their eyes met, a terrifying sense of being targeted in the void enveloped Wei Shan like a rule.

【You… saw me!!!】 Ge Qing, the "human-shaped sculpture," eyes burst with a cold golden light, like a ghoul crawling out of a grave, revealing a ferocious and rampant expression.

“Feh, feh, feh…” A muffled roar came from Wei Shan's throat, like the distinctive low roar of a steam train starting up. As Ge Qing, the "human-shaped sculpture," locked onto him, he didn't shy away from the gaze, directly meeting its eyes.

“I also… ‘saw you’… ah…”

Wei Shan pinned it to the ground, the slits of his narrowed eyes seemed to flow with molten gold, and a chilling smile appeared on the corner of his mouth…

He stepped on the back of Ge Qing, the "human-shaped sculpture," his arms grabbing one of its arms that had already begun to sculpt in the mist, and shouted, “Ha!”

「Crack, crack…」

Large, dense cracks appeared directly on the shoulder of Ge Qing, the "human-shaped sculpture," followed by a "Bang!" The arm was actually torn off by Wei Shan!

When the arm broke, Ge Qing, the "human-shaped sculpture," couldn't help but roar, not knowing if it was truly in pain or frightened by the loss of an arm.

On the cross-section of its shoulder, there were actually patterns of bones and blood vessels, but all these patterns were in the shape of plaster, looking as if they were carved on it.

“Stop yelling!” Wei Shan sneered, grabbed the sculpted arm, and slammed it hard on its head.

「Bang!」

With a muffled sound, Ge Qing, the "human-shaped sculpture," neck tilted to the side, and its golden eyes were rarely filled with astonishment.

Before it could react, Wei Shan grabbed the sculpted arm and repeatedly smashed it on its head, causing some plaster fragments to fly off…

At this time, Nie Yun, the "human-shaped sculpture," and Li Jiannan, the "human-shaped sculpture," who had been kicked out of the light range by him earlier, also charged back from the mist. They entered the light with their sculpted bodies, and when they came into contact with the light, they quickly evaporated the mist from their bodies, transforming into "inhuman classmates" while attacking Wei Shan.

Wei Shan used the sculpted Ge Qing's arm as a weapon, hitting Ge Yun and Li Jiannan hard, causing plaster fragments to fly everywhere under the light, and waves of snow-white mist appeared like rinsing rice…

I don't know how long it had passed, Wei Shan dropped the sculpted arm in his hand, panting heavily, and left the range of the "Teaching Building - 067" lamppost.

Within the illuminated area of the "Teaching Building - 067" lamppost, plaster fragments were scattered everywhere. Nie Yun, Ge Qing, and Li Jiannan, these three "inhuman classmates," still maintained their sculpted forms under the light, but their bodies had been broken into countless pieces of stone, leaving only three dilapidated head sculptures, leaning to and fro in the evening breeze. The eyes that originally shone with golden light had also turned into dull stone beads…

May 8, X023, 20:37, Lin Yi and Wei Liang finally arrived at the "Teaching Building - 001" lamppost.

“It's a bit too smooth…” Touching the painted number of "Teaching Building - 001," Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh.

Along the way, except for encountering some minor setbacks near the "Teaching Building - 067" lamppost, the whole journey went quite smoothly, so smoothly that he felt a little dreamy.

Wei Liang rolled his eyes, curled his lips, and鄙视鄙视: “Old Lin, do you have masochistic tendencies? Do you only feel fulfilled after experiencing eighty-one hardships? Do you feel uneasy even if you get the scriptures with one less hardship?”

“…”

“Hey?”

“Liangzi, what's the number of that lamppost in front?” Lin Yi pointed to the lamppost not far away.

Wei Liang looked over and said, “It seems to be… 「Gymnasium - 001」? Isn't that the direction to the gymnasium? Strange…”

“There's also 「Cafeteria - 001」… Over there is 「Dormitory Building - 001」!” Lin Yi pointed to the lampposts in another direction.

Wei Liang said in surprise, “Are we… standing at a crossroads?”

Lin Yi pondered, “Theoretically, that's possible…”

The outermost edge of each building area is the 001 lamppost, and the innermost circle is the lamppost with the largest number. Therefore, the junction between area A and area B must be 「A-001」 and 「B-001」.

Theoretically speaking, after leaving the teaching building, it is indeed possible to go to other areas at the same time. However, what surprised Lin Yi was that after the layer fell, this crossroads actually overlapped. The lampposts pointing to the cafeteria, gymnasium, and dormitory building appeared in three directions in front of the 「Teaching Building - 001」 lamppost!
