Chapter 1080: Chapter 506: Graveyard of the Deceased – Frame 0 Opening_2

“From the start of school until now, I’ve been comparing the campus map provided by the organization with the one in the handbook. Whether due to the anomalous weather or some other unknown factors, I’ve noticed that the landscape of the campus has already undergone some distortion under normal conditions…”

Chen Xue was puzzled, “Hasn’t the campus always been distorted?”

Lu Zhao replied, “It does distort… hmm, maybe you don’t understand what I mean, let me put it this way… the original campus underwent elastic deformation, and the distortions that happen during anomalous weather would naturally revert once the weather passes.”

“But what’s happening now is somewhat akin to plastic deformation, where certain areas haven’t reverted after distorting.”

“Abnormality that doesn’t revert means that the penetration of the layers hasn’t faded, and those corresponding areas, while appearing normal, are actually occupied by something eerie, though others are unaware and assume it’s just normal.”

Jin Jiuyao and the others’ expressions subtly shifted.

Lu Zhao continued, “Choosing to enter the school during anomalous weather is risky in itself, but it’s a necessary choice for the organization, one we can’t change. Therefore, in a sense, we are a special force of the organization.”

“The current situation is severe, the outlook grim, and Yuan Lijian has yet to return. Everything seems to be progressing towards the organization’s prediction of the worst-case scenario… As a special force, we must now use extraordinary strategies to achieve exceptional results.”

“That Wei Liang… did he say anything else?”

Chen Bing said, “He said, if we want to stay alive, not to get involved with them… when he told me, his tone was more like… advice rather than a warning.”

Though your physical condition is quite good, as a devout follower of the Stocking Cult, it’s still recommended to maintain a safe distance from the missionaries of the Bare Legs Cult. When Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial ‘advised’ Chen Bing, his eyes were unwaveringly scanning every inch of her body.

“Avoid…?” Lu Zhao rubbed his temples, silently dismissing the idea of teaming up with Wei Liang and Lin Yi…

“It seems the only play left now is to negotiate a collaboration with the homeroom teacher. If we can come to terms, we collaborate; if not…” Lu Zhao’s eyelids drooped slightly as he sighed, “then we have to resort to some contingency plans…”

…

Not long before.

Lin Yi bid farewell to Wei Liang and headed up the steps to the classroom door.

Despite already knowing what lay beyond the door, he remained cautious. After all, “what’s behind the door” and “what’s only behind the door” have significant differences in essence.

He took a deep breath and then grasped the doorknob with his hand.

As his palm gradually wrapped around the doorknob, the faint tremor from the rain and wind hitting the door and the threads of dampness brought by the rain seemed to travel through the doorknob into his palm, as if the storm-tossed world beyond the door was now laid out before him…

Just before he opened the door, perhaps due to some instinctual flash of inspiration, he subconsciously glanced at the clock above the blackboard on the podium.

19:56.

He pressed the doorknob down.

“Click—”

The entire classroom turned their gaze toward him; in an instant, he became the focal point of the entire room.

But he didn’t have the luxury to mind their stares because, as the door opened, a closed world cracked open, and the chaotic voices from outside madly invaded this world.

“Whoosh—”

The storm shredded the curtain of rain; the mixture of mist and grey fog tangled together, squeezing in through the crack in the door. Those threads of sinister mist, like countless dancing tendrils, reached out towards Lin Yi, the nearest to the door.

Without hesitating, Lin Yi slipped through the door crack and decisively closed it behind him.

“Bang!”

The door slammed shut, and at that moment, the flexible door seemed to transform into a cold stone, merging with the entire wall of the Teaching Building, and the doorknob became like a decorative piece cemented into the wall.

An ominous feeling seeped into his heart like ink drawn through a siphon.

What he feared most were these psychological tricks; physically, the campus could no longer cause him much harm, yet the crises within the layers remained as ready to strike as a poisonous snake in a tropical rainforest.

He looked up at the doorplate.

“It’s broken…”

Though he held onto the doorknob, the number on the doorplate was missing, with no “Unit B Class 2” written on it!

“Damn…”

With a slight tremble, he snapped the doorknob right off…

Staring at the doorknob in his hand, his eyes felt like they would pop out. No way, man, did I just break off a perfectly good doorknob?!

He wasn’t the only one looking at the doorknob; through the chrome on the handle, he saw countless pairs of eyes glowing with a dim golden light…

The chrome layer distorted the patterns on the doorknob, stretching the corresponding unit into various shapes.

Lin Yi felt his neck stiffen as he slowly turned his gaze to his left.

To his left was a row of greenish-grey, bloodless faces. The student in the first row was clad in a neat green and white uniform, their eyes emitting a dim golden glow without any emotional fluctuation, and a strange grin was plastered on their face.

Pseudo-Human students (Pseudo-Human Sculptures)?

No, such an aura was beyond their capacity.

Pseudo-Human Sculptures didn’t possess such uniformly coordinated stance performance; they should be…

“Graveyard of the Deceased!” Confirming it to be the Graveyard of the Deceased, the sinister and fearful sensation in Lin Yi’s heart noticeably lessened.

He then glanced to his right, which mirrored the left with another row of the Graveyard of the Deceased—though, accurately speaking, this was all one and the same Graveyard of the Deceased.

The essence of the Graveyard of the Deceased was that of a colossal serpent swarm, each part capable of independently becoming a Pseudo-Human student, yet all were bound by a single central control, thus forming a unified whole.

From the moment he realized he was surrounded by the Graveyard of the Deceased, the first head in the Graveyard opened its mouth…

[My name is Lin Yi! My student ID is X0230506098! I’m heading along the cobblestone path to the Dormitory Building!]

The first head spoke, and then all the heads began to echo:

[My name is Lin Yi! My student ID is X0230506098! I’m heading along the cobblestone path to the Dormitory Building!]

[My name is Lin Yi! My student ID is…]

[My name is Lin Yi…]

The Graveyard of the Deceased’s zero-frame prompt made Lin Yi’s consciousness jolt.

What do they mean? Why are they preemptively answering?

Furthermore, starting to speak out of turn is one thing, but this opening isn’t even correct—I’m not on the cobblestone path heading to the Dormitory Building now; I’m in the Teaching Building!

Don’t mess around, alright!

[My name is Lin Yi! My student ID is X0230506098! I’m heading along the cobblestone path to the Dormitory Building!]

[My name is Lin Yi! My student ID is…]

The chanting of Lin Yi’s identity information by the Graveyard of the Deceased, with its magical tones, became hurried and hoarse amidst the storm, reminiscent of the sky full of eerie Buddhist chants in the sinister Little Western Heaven, driving the eerie voice lines to continuously exceed the frequencies bearable by the human ear…

As the storm surged, those countless voice lines began to stretch as well; the swirling breath in the wind tore apart and reassembled every sound syllable. The chant of the Graveyard of the Deceased exuded an indescribable demonic nature, piercing through layer after layer of layers, gradually becoming waves of sound, forming a completely discontinuous diabolical noise.

[My name is… I AvgruN… Lin… Yi… My student ID… åKe og mørke ja… is X02305… 06098… Sjeler fanTome! I’m heading to the Dormitory Building… jaGer forTapte Sjeler… along the cobblestone path… fanTome!]

[Ha—]
