...

Inside the Student Passage.

Lin Yi descended the steps, but for some reason, even if the Layers were still normal, he kept hearing the eerie songs of broken sculptures echoing by his ears.

He shook his head, looking at Tian Bufan and the others around him, and he was very certain that his current Layers were normal.

But now, are the broken sculptures so terrifying that their singing could reach his ears even in a normal state?

Wei Shan seemed to sense Lin Yi's unease, his breath becoming slightly heavier, his eyes filled with wild animalistic instincts: "Old Lin, what's wrong?"

Lin Yi confessed: "I can hear the songs of the broken sculptures... Ever since I first contacted them through the Layers, they've been haunting me incessantly. In the past, I could only hear them when I experienced Phantom Vision, but now I can hear them even in normal conditions..."

"The songs of the broken sculptures...?" Wei Shan showed a hint of confusion, "I can't hear them... never have."

Tian Bufan spoke up: "Naturally, you can't hear it. This is something sensed by Old Lin's 'Perception'."

"Do you still remember what I told you before? As you continue to 'Adapt', the 'bands' you can pick up will become increasingly broad, to the point that you gradually start receiving that call in a normal state."

Lin Yi asked in a deep voice: "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad," Tian Bufan replied. "Broadly speaking, receiving extra information is undoubtedly beneficial for exploration, but specifically, if you lack the ability to process this information, it will interfere with your brain, driving you to madness."

Lin Yi took a deep breath: "Still need to 'Adapt', right?"

"Yes." Tian Bufan gave a definitive answer.

Lin Yi squinted his eyes a little.

If there are hidden messages in the Layers, perhaps there are secret messages within the songs of the broken sculptures.

Things like "Withering Black Moon," "Mourner," subtly align with the information conveyed by the Principal through the "Primordial Ash Apostle." Perhaps those broken sculptures are trying to convey a fragment of that information?

He suddenly came up with a question. The broken sculptures he saw were suspended by numerous chains from the ceiling of an abandoned classroom. The purpose of those chains must be to restrain them, right?

But why aren't the Pseudo-Human Sculptures bound by chains?

Could it be that the broken sculptures and the Pseudo-Human Sculptures aren't on the same side?

At this thought, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Right! How come he never considered that the broken sculptures aren't on the side of the Pseudo-Human Sculptures?

Even Art Students can have a fallen branch of Zealots, maybe there are some sculptures that aren't so wicked?

And those broken sculptures... if he remembers correctly, he once had a Phantom Vision in the Library, seeing a giant black chessboard filled with Demons and Angel sculptures. Those sculptures seemed to have some extremely secretive connection with the broken sculptures.

As he was pondering this, a baseless chill suddenly swept through, causing Lin Yi to shiver involuntarily.

He came back to his senses, only to suddenly realize that the environment of the Student Passage had changed!

"Damn! Did I accidentally lose the Layers?!" He took a deep breath, first glancing at his watch, 7:30, the second hand was ticking, but moving a bit slowly.

"Didn't lose the Layers?"

"How could it be possible that I didn't? Wait, I understand! Did I enter the 'My World' state?"

At the moment of realizing this, he instantly perceived the position of his own body.

His body was just below him, and at this moment, his perspective felt as if his soul had floated out of his body.

When his will left his body, everything he saw around him was like looking through a misty filter, but the overall coldness made him shudder occasionally with a deep sense of unease.

He observed his surroundings and suddenly found that the inner wall of the Student Passage in this perspective was actually writhing!

"Huh? What is that...?!"

His Perception Penetrated the Mist, seeing clearly the inner wall of the Student Passage, and then he noticed in horror, at his level of perception, the inner wall of the Student Passage was actually covered with writhing vein-like substances!

"The inner wall of the Student Passage, is it alive?!"

"No... it doesn't seem 'alive', but rather... a Burial Body?!"

He discovered that some parts of the Burial Body's flesh were emerging from the inner wall of the Student Passage!

These parts of flesh intertwined like tree roots throughout the inner wall of the Student Passage, moving and writhing along with the Burial Body, like a massive parasite!

"Could it be that it's not the Convenience Store that contained the 'Burial Body', but that the 'Burial Body' has parasitized the Cafeteria?!"

Lin Yi's pupils dilated in shock, like discovering some terrible truth.

"Not only the 10th meal window inside other passages but perhaps the entire wall of the Cafeteria is parasitized with parts of the Burial Body's flesh!"

"No wonder!!"

"No wonder the green apron Chef never ceases to exist! Because the green apron Chef's existence is like the opposite of Old Mo!"

"Old Mo is bound to the Cafeteria's last drop of blood, hence he can sustain without perishing, while the green apron Chef is bound to the parasitized Burial Body in the Cafeteria, enabling infinite splitting and spawning!"

"And the Cafeteria and the Burial Body have countless intertwined connections!"
