"This white paint seems to be made of the same material as the student ID card!"

"How magical, what on earth is this thing?"

Right then, he noticed the rustling sound coming from the mist around them, needless to say, he knew that the human sculptures were gathering towards them.

"Lin... Yi..."

Outside the mist, the call of the human sculptures rang out, and Lin Yi didn't need to see with his eyes to have the vision in his mind.

This scene was almost the same as the one he had deduced in the classroom earlier, but the difference was that he couldn't possibly respond to such calls.

"Liangzi, are you okay?" Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Wei Liang waved his hands repeatedly, "That's how it is in the mountains, as soon as night falls the miasma thickens. We need to hurry back to the dorm, I can't wait to take a hot shower!"

Seeing that Wei Liang really didn't show any abnormalities, Lin Yi felt a bit more at ease and continued on the way with him.

The two figures quickly vanished into the mist, stepping forward in the dim and heavy light, while out in the darkness beyond the cobblestone road, within the area submerged by the mist, countless figures were staring intently at Lin Yi and Wei Liang, slowly moving their bodies. Beneath the thick fog, only the "rustle rustle rustle" sound could be heard mixed with the wind, uncertain whether it was the sound of stones rubbing on the ground or the wind in the treetops.

Amidst such sounds of the wind, one could still faintly hear that eerie calling sound that seemed to drift from a faraway place.

"Lin Yi..."

"Lin... Yi..."

...

May 8, X023, 20:13.

Two figures came trembling to the lamppost in front of "Teaching Building-067".

"I feel like I can't take it anymore..."

"Really can't take it anymore..."

Nie Yun and Song Rentou had been Experience Students for several batches before Lin Yi, and in the classroom, he had shown himself to be unresponsive and uninterested in everything happening around him.

But this was only his disguise; facing the bizarre environment, he needed to maintain enough "dullness" to keep himself safe.

"Old Nie, we've been here for four days... just three more days and we can get the money," Nie Yun's friend, Ge Qing, who entered the campus with him, was breathing heavily, leaning against "Teaching Building-067".

"I've been trying so hard not to think too much... but recently, I keep feeling like something is calling my name!" Nie Yun's face showed pain, his spirit seeming somewhat hazy, "I... I think I hear it again, it's calling my name..."

"It seems... It seems to be right beside us!"

[Nie Yun... Nie Yun...]

[Nie Yun...]

"Uh..." Nie Yun's face grew paler, and he supported himself against the lamppost with one hand while fiercely rubbing his forehead with the other, squinting and arching his body in pain, "My head is so dizzy... Ge Qing, my head is so dizzy..."

Ge Qing's face changed dramatically, and he quickly supported him, anxiously saying, "Old Nie, Old Nie, the rule says to tell the teacher immediately if you feel unwell, we... shall we go back to the Teaching Building?"

"Yeah... okay... I really feel very uncomfortable," Nie Yun gritted his teeth, trying his best to keep calm, but no matter how he breathed, he felt the breaths getting heavier and heavier.

Just then, the calling sound by his ear started to drill into his ear like a venomous snake:

[Nie Yun! Don't go back! Don't trust him!]

[I'm Ge Qing, I'm the real Ge Qing!]

[Don't trust the person next to you... It's not Ge Qing... It's not!]

[Look behind you quickly, the real me is in the mist behind you!!]

[I'm trapped! Hurry and save me! Hurry...]

Nie Yun was startled and quickly glanced at Ge Qing beside him.

"Old Nie, what's wrong Old Nie, are you alright?" Ge Qing looked at Nie Yun with concern.

But in Nie Yun's eyes, the current Ge Qing was a gray-faced, pale-skinned white plaster form of "Ge Qing," and although the other's face was identical to Ge Qing's, to him, it was a wriggling mass of plaster.

[Hurry and push him away! Push him away!!]

Nie Yun seemed to hear the "real Ge Qing's" voice, urgent and anxious, as if giving a command.

As if suddenly possessed, relying on the strength of leaning against the lamppost, he abruptly exerted force and pushed the Ge Qing who was supporting him fiercely away!

"Old Nie, you...?!" Ge Qing's face was full of disbelief, and as he was pushed away, he instinctively tried to adjust his center of gravity, but the cobblestone ground beneath his feet was already slick with mist, making it impossible for him to find his footing.

Not only did he slip, but he also fell out of the lighted area jointly covered by the lampposts of "Teaching Building-067" and "Teaching Building-068" into the shadows...

"Old Nie——"

His alarmed and puzzled cry came from the mist, and then after a few harrowing screams, it was completely silenced.

Before long, a cool breeze carrying a faint scent of blood reached the light, hitting Nie Yun's nose, first causing him to pause, but gradually he realized he was mistaken, it wasn't the smell of blood, it was the fresh scent of tomatoes...

Nie Yun's mind was muddled, seeming not to have reacted from the scene just now, while the voice by his ear had not disappeared, continuing to call out ceaselessly.

[Well done, Nie Yun, well done!]
