When Moss was stretched into a horizontal line, the original form of the building completely disappeared, replaced by a style immensely strong of postmodern architecture.

Like a fortress in an alien form, an architectural fortress with extremely abstract and strong lines.

When he saw this building, he felt he faintly grasped a bit of the Teaching Building's form after the layer drop, but this seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg of the truth...

But the clues he knew at the moment were just this tiny bit, and to reason any further was unrealistic, so he abandoned the idea of thinking any further, exited his thoughts, and came back to reality.

"It seems that when the campus is normal, the clues available in the Corridor Bridge area are very limited. But then again, how could every place in the campus have major issues?"

Lin Yi chuckled self-deprecatingly and then turned to Li Huiyuan, saying, "Let's go, next we head to the building..."

His voice suddenly stopped abruptly, a sense of "long-missed" chill down his spine wrapped around him at this moment—

Li Huiyuan was gone.

"Damn... Li Huiyuan?!" Lin Yi cursed inwardly, his first reaction was that Li Huiyuan had met with an accident right before his eyes, but he immediately realized a more severe problem.

It wasn't that Li Huiyuan had a problem, but... he had a problem!!!

He found that the corridor bridge in front of him, damn it, had twisted into the shape he had modeled in his mind with plasticine!

Who the problem was with, needn't be said, right?!

"Did Li Huiyuan not awaken me? Or did... Li Huiyuan not realize that I had a problem?!"

If it was the former, it was still manageable, but if it was the latter, then the problem was huge...

To fall silently through layers and to be completely unnoticed by anyone, wouldn't that mean you could die without even knowing it?!

Lin Yi suddenly panicked, but his instinct in an extremely rational tone told him—I know you're panicking, but don't panic just yet.

So he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Why could he still remain calm?

Lin Yi couldn't quite say why, but perhaps it was because... the bizarre scene before his eyes was one he had deduced himself?

Like looking at a painting one had drawn oneself, no matter how absurd the drawing, it seemed less frightening because it was created by oneself?

Lin Yi gradually calmed down, in this environment, he did not feel danger—even though the Teaching Building had twisted into such a strange shape.

Just then, a voice rang in his ear...

"Classmate Lin... Classmate Lin..."

This familiar voice made his heart tremble.

He glanced slightly to the side and suddenly saw Li Huiyuan, who had disappeared before.

"Huh? Li Huiyuan has reappeared...?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, momentarily feeling unreal, "Could it be that Li Huiyuan also fell into this layer? That shouldn't be right..."

Lin Yi was puzzled; he had never encountered anyone else dropping layers...

Oh wait, he had encountered Little Genius disguised as Wei Liang with the quality of a plaster statue...

Speaking of which, Little Genius at that time must have belonged to the "Nocturnal species," right?

Although Xu Shunkang had not mentioned that state, Lin Yi guessed it, because Xu Shunkang had once said, [Once the rules are violated, all that awaits them is death and things worse than death.]

"Things worse than 'death,'" could possibly be the situation with Little Genius.

Dead, yet not completely dead, not knowing what torture still awaited.

"Could this Li Huiyuan also be a fake?"

When this thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind, he himself was startled, wondering if he was starting to lose his own grip on reality?

However, on second thoughts, he couldn't help but entertain the idea, given that a Nocturnal species had impersonated Wei Liang and Li Huiyuan "setting a precedent," what if it was happening again?

But soon, he realized that was not the case; this Li Huiyuan was real because... Li Huiyuan was indeed shaking him!

Li Huiyuan had her hands on his shoulders, shaking him vigorously like someone doing bench presses in a gym, making him flail like a teddy bear, making waves herself...

Seeing Li Huiyuan shaking him more and more violently, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel that there was a hint of personal vendetta in it...

"Could I have almost shaken her brain smooth in the past...was I really that strong?" Lin Yi couldn't help feeling a bit guilty; he wasn't too cautious back then while trying to save her.

He remembered calling out her name continuously and increasing the force because she wouldn't wake up... he had no real idea of how strong he was, but at least the effect seemed satisfactory.

But at this moment, he discovered another problem...

The person Li Huiyuan was shaking was him, but—it wasn't the "him" of the present.

He could see both himself and Li Huiyuan clearly and the ground under their feet was the normal Teaching Building, not the floors with distorted tile textures as now.

Between "them" and him, there was only a step's distance, as close as though separated by a sheer layer...

Lin Yi quietly approached his past self beyond the screen, just took a step forward, and his surrounding environment started collapsing and changing, like a giant mechanical wrap unfurling itself from around him and retreating from his side...

He noticed the gloomy environment around him begin to pull away like moving liquid from the ground beneath his feet, the ground overhead, the pillars beside him...retreating rapidly away from him, while the distorted Corridor Bridge and the abstract Teaching Building also gradually returned to their "original" normal state.

The step he had taken, ultimately froze mid-step.

Watching his past self and the shaking Li Huiyuan behind the screen, two thoughts emerged in his mind.

Return immediately, or wait a little longer?

These two contrasting thoughts stood against each other like two martial arts masters on a mountain peak, fiercely battling it out, creating a terrifying storm of thoughts in his mind.

He felt he could return at any moment.

But he also felt his current "layer" was incredibly stable...

Incredibly stable, situated in another layer he didn't fully understand but seemed completely a product of his own imagination.

It was as if... he had entered into his own painting.

No, calling it a painting wasn't quite right.

It was more like... playing "My World," where he had imported a part of the Teaching Building he had explored into his own mind and then as an editor, vigorously twisted this "module" according to his subjective consciousness to craft it into what he wanted.

And now, he was like an editor touring this "new Teaching Building" in "My World."

The sheer layer was like the switch to exit this world; crossing it would return him to "reality."

"So... I didn't feel the unease and weirdness of falling between layers because I am the creator of this 'layer'?!"

Four words emerged in his mind: "Daydream Daytime."

It was from a chapter about the Blood Clan he had read in a manga, which roughly told the story of an Elder Last who wanted his "daughter" to be able to move about in daylight and tried to use his abilities to create a "daytime"...

And now, had he essentially dreamed up a Teaching Building?!

Eventually, he withdrew the foot he had stepped out, slowly placing it back on the ground.

With just that action, the "environment" that had receded like a tide came rushing back, and the Corridor Bridge, which had regained its original form, twisted back into that abstract look...
