Chapter 858 - 397: Arriving at the Library
At around 4 a.m., the elevator entrance of the Teaching Building was shrouded in darkness. In the absence of any light, the Pseudo-Human students remained in their sculpture-like state.
But when the glow of an old coal oil lamp shone upon them, the side of their bodies facing the light sizzled as if placed on a grilling rack, emitting wisps of white smoke. They began to transform into their Pseudo-Human form, yet the light seemed too overwhelming for them. Their partially "fleshified" bodies immediately started to shed fine, white powdery particles with a soft "rustling" sound.
Meanwhile, the Pseudo-Human sculptures let out deep, cow-like groans, instinctively covering their eyes with their hands, desperately hoping to escape the light as if hiding behind a futile illusion.
They stumbled backward, only to be shoved forward by other Pseudo-Human sculptures unaware of the situation behind them. Within mere breaths, they transformed back into lifeless sculptures, devoid of any breath or presence.
The light spread outward, piercing through the cluster of Pseudo-Human sculptures around the elevator, obliterating them in its wake.
Lin Yi’s mind immediately flashed back. He recalled seeing through Maozi’s perspective in a dream, where the Pseudo-Human sculptures would begin streaming out of classrooms around 4 a.m., marching through the corridors in a queue toward the stairway. Yet now, seeing them again, they were actually rushing to take the elevator!
"Wait... 4 a.m.!"
[Ensure you leave the Art Building by elevator before 4 a.m., or you’ll have to wait until the next day.]
Old Mo’s words surfaced in his mind.
