He grabbed a piece and walked under the sun, where the body of the Nocturnal species immediately began to emit a large mist composed of white powder particles upon exposure to light, and this mist, from Lin Yi's current perspective, was actually green.

As the contamination disappeared, the exposed body of the Nocturnal species began to rapidly turn into a sculpture, and Tian Bufan, with quick eyes and hands, used it to fix the fragments of the mirror in place, eventually using them like glue to stick several pieces of the broken mirror together.

Due to the durability of the solidified sculpture, this newly assembled mirror was also exceptionally stable.

Thus, Tian Bufan treated the remnants of the Nocturnal species' body as if it were an upgraded version of solid glue, piecing together most of the mirror fragments.

He didn't reassemble the shattered mirror back into a flat mirror, but instead created a multifaceted mirror with various planar angles, which could effectively concentrate light into one area, achieving the same effect as aligning several mirrors from different positions towards the same spot.

The main idea was "to make full use of everything."

After finishing, Tian Bufan adjusted the distance so that the converged light could perfectly focus on a small area as the elevator doors opened, just as the Sports Students carried over another mirror.

Tian Bufan used the large mirror to perfectly cover the elevator doors with the reflected beam of light, while the multifaceted mirror was used to focus on a specific point, allowing him to adjust the angle of the roasting at any time.

After completing the preparations, Tian Bufan signaled the Sports Students to disperse a bit, and then began the barbecue plan.

What happened next was almost exactly as he had described to Lin Yi, except that the role of the Mirror Holder had shifted from Tian Bufan to the eager Sports Students...

For such a toy that was a flight of fancy, the Sports Students played with it incessantly, seemingly childish yet genuinely fun, like country kids using a magnifying glass to burn leeches, with the main point being fun.

Under the double roasting, none of the Nocturnal species inside the elevator survived; they were all roasted into pure white gypsum-like sculptures.

And whenever the outer Nocturnal species completely turned into sculptures, the Sports Students would swing a baseball bat with a sky-blue steam attached, shattering them forcefully, exposing the surviving Nocturnal species behind them back to the light.

In the end, the Sports Students also smashed the sculpture fragments with the baseball bat into white powder particles that dissipated away.

Having done all this, the Sports Students also destroyed the part of the sculpture in the multifaceted mirror.

While dealing with this part of the sculpture, Lin Yi noticed that vein-like thing again.

"What is this?" Tian Bufan also noticed and asked the Sports Students.

Sports Student Old Du answered straightforwardly, "This is their 'Framework'."

"Oh, a vein-like... 'Framework'?" Tian Bufan raised an eyebrow.

"Something that all Nocturnal species have," Old Du explained, "You can think of it as their information capsule, or... identity code."

"Every Nocturnal species has the same basic code, but due to different Transformation Pathways and various external factors, the final appearance can differ," he continued.

"But once they reach the level of 'Nocturnal species', the essence doesn't differ much anymore. The existence of the 'Framework' is why they can constantly repair themselves and transform back and forth between 'Human', 'Human Sculpture', and 'Purebred Nightwalker'."

"Look," Old Du said as he demonstrated, highlighting a combination of theory and practice. He handed the Nocturnal species' Framework to a Sports Student holding a baseball bat, "Old Zhang, throw it towards the Green Forest Belt, show it to the juniors."

"Damn, I don't want to be the errand boy!" Sports Student Old Zhang complained, making a gesture to throw the Nocturnal species' Framework back.

"I do not want to repeat myself, godfather," Old Du said sternly.

"You should've said so earlier, my child! Wait here for a moment; I will return forthwith!" Pleased with his godson, Old Zhang's energy soared, and he dashed down the steps, heading towards the Green Forest Belt, enveloped in a thin mist.

But barely two steps into his run, the Nocturnal species' Framework in his hand turned into a sculpture due to the exposure to light.

"Oh no, I was careless!" Old Zhang slapped his forehead, smiling sheepishly as he returned to the Teaching Building. Without waiting for Old Du to speak, he swung the baseball bat to smash a pure white gypsum-like sculpture, extracted the Nocturnal species' Framework from inside, then took off his uniform to block the light and rushed towards the Green Forest Belt with it.

"Old Zhang, just play a bit, don't actually let it escape," Old Du reminded from the steps.

"Father understands!" Old Zhang's voice traveled back from afar.

Old Du cleared his throat and continued to explain to Tian Bufan, "Nocturnal species use the 'Framework' to absorb Contamination and restore their body. As long as the Framework isn't damaged, no matter how shattered the body becomes, it can slowly recover."

"Look..." he pointed towards Old Zhang.

Old Zhang was seen grabbing one end of the Nocturnal species' Framework, then flinging it into the Green Forest Belt like casting a fishing line.

The Nocturnal species' Framework, upon entering the Green Forest Belt, immediately began to absorb the white powder particles from the mist, adhering to the Framework, and then, as if mosaics were being restored bit by bit, it transformed into moving flesh, growing out just like plant growth. Gradually, this part of flesh almost finished regenerating and then directly transformed into a Human Sculpture.

Old Du imparted knowledge, "You see, at first they can only recover into Purebred Nightwalkers, but with the overintake of Contamination, they start transforming into Human Sculptures. However, that kind of Human Sculpture is the limit of their transformation, and even if they later capture an Identity, they cannot transform back into a person like you. They can only become... what was your term again?"

"A non-human classmate," Tian Bufan answered.

Old Du nodded, "That's your definition. I suggest you adopt the more official term... Pseudo-Human Contaminators in Pseudo-Human form, simply called 'Pseudo-Human Contaminators' or 'Pseudo-Humans'."
