Chapter 588: Wei Liang Wei Liang and Still Wei Liang_2


Countless grotesquely deformed or incomplete Wei Liangs, desperately clinging to their last breath, life ebbing away...

Every Wei Liang is not Wei Liang, yet is Wei Liang all the same!

Deep down, Lin Yi knows they are all Pseudo-Human Wei Liangs, but subconsciously he can't muster any sense of resistance against them.

He now has two conflicting and extremely contrasting emotions—one is his firm belief that all Wei Liangs here are fake, while the other is his inability to feel any aversion or disgust towards Pseudo-Human Wei Liang!

Looking at the countless Pseudo-Human Wei Liangs under this layer, he even feels a twinge of pity and sadness in his heart.

"What's going on?" He doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand when he began to feel compassion for the pseudo-humans?

Could it be just because the other party is "Wei Liang"? Yet that day he tossed Pseudo-Human Wei Liang into the sun, turning it to ashes.

Is it because he's becoming more and more like a pseudo-human, so he starts to feel compassion for the pseudo-human side?

Or is it because this layer has contaminated him, veiled his perception, overwritten his emotions, making him more amiable towards Pseudo-Human Wei Liang?

He doesn't understand.

So, ensuring he remains absolutely rational, he tentatively speaks, giving his first response:

"Liangzi?"

But as soon as he spoke, he was bombarded by a "clank, clank, clank" sound as though a train was roaring past. The long-absent flickering vision reappeared before him accompanied by that sound.

In the flickering, jumping field of vision, he saw countless images related to Wei Liang. Each image seemed like an independent event, but he couldn't clearly see any, even when he used his strongest observational ability, even with the kind of "High-Order Perception" that almost paused time, he couldn't capture a single concrete picture from those infinitely flashing images.

The only thing he could be sure of was that the vague figures in the countless scenes were all Wei Liang!

He didn't know how much time had passed, as if that roaring train finally drove past his eyes, all those images related to Wei Liang disintegrated and disappeared, and before his eyes remained an endless crowd of Wei Liang corpses.

Among that almost infinite crowd of Wei Liang, they all murmured his name, but finally, there came the first voice he had ever heard—"Old Lin."

"Lin Yi... Old... Old Lin..."

Pseudo-humans would never utter names! At that moment, Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he tried to locate the source of that voice but couldn't find the remains of the Wei Liang who uttered "Old Lin."

Yet suddenly, all the calls from Pseudo-Human Wei Liang turned from "Lin Yi" to "Old Lin."

"Old Lin..."

"Old Lin..."

Some Pseudo-Human Wei Liangs, with only half of their skulls remaining, desperately swung their deformed arms, picking up fallen eyeballs to look in Lin Yi's direction, the mouths of their skulls snapping together with a "click click."

"Old Lin... Has Old Lin come...?"

"Which one... which Old Lin is it this time..."

Nearby Pseudo-Human Wei Liang seemed to be bending its cloth-strip-like fingers, chirping in its mouth: "Is it the three thousandth... or the four thousandth... Can't remember... Can't remember..."

"Hahaha..."

"Oh, Old Lin..."

"Run... Run quickly..."

"The ending was long ordained..."

One after another, the Pseudo-Human Wei Liangs opened their mouths, what they said made Lin Yi's eyes widen!

"That's nothing a pseudo-human could say!"

In the corpse group of Wei Liang, one Pseudo-Human Wei Liang after another chattered away, each spouting its words:

"Countless extrapolations... all have actually failed..."

"The one closest to success... was just 'close'..."

"Escape quickly... take 'me' and flee!"

"Time is running out... not much left..."

"Don't deploy action! Don't..."

"Act! Act! I'm impatient to know the latest situation!"

"Dying this time, there's still the next time!"

"Fiddle around all you want... the end is predetermined anyway!"

"No! Actually... there's a turning point!"

"Boss!"

"Boss is the key!"

"Let her die!"

"Make sure she dies!"

"Hahaha..."

"Death is just the beginning! Don't let her live!"

"Trust me! Trust us!!"

"Even if she really dies... it doesn't matter..."

"Hahahaha... she can't be killed! Can't be killed at all!"

Lin Yi wanted to interrupt several times, but the information brought by Wei Liang's corpse group was simply too shocking, revealing hints of events entirely different from his knowledge in just a few words.

As if... they had already entered the campus countless times, but all had failed!

Each failure meant a Wei Liang died here!

"Wait...!!" A flash of lightning suddenly crossed Lin Yi's mind as he remembered Tian Bufan's words—[Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial will save you once, but only once.]

"Could it be... the rescue Young Master Tian mentioned occurs when the plan fails, and Liangzi uses his life to get me out of the campus, and then he ends up among that corpse group, becoming part of them while I lose my memory again and re-enter the campus?!"

"So there are many Pseudo-Human Liangzis in the campus, but no pseudo version of me?"

He felt like he had stumbled upon a certain truth, but... this doesn't follow any logic!

"How did Liangzi die here, yet re-enter the campus with me?"

"Hiss... wait! A time-loop paradox?!"

"Did Liangzi orchestrate his own death into a time-loop paradox?!"

"He... did he calculate his own death?!!!"

"The numbers they mentioned, three thousand or four thousand times, are they referring to the number of times we've re-entered the campus?! But... how is this even possible?"

"Could it be... that entire chunks of time are inscribed in a time loop?! Because it can't succeed, we're constantly reliving this period of time?!"

"They're not Pseudo-Human Wei Liangs! Each one of them... is a fucking real Liangzi?!"

"The state of death turns the corpse into a pseudo-human, so the 'Pseudo-Human Wei Liangs' on the campus were originally real Liangzis, only turned into pseudo-humans due to death by becoming night creatures!"

A few days ago, Lin Yi would have never come to such a conclusion, as this first does not align with the existing cognition, but after experiencing so much, the most laughable thing is "existing cognition."

If there's a hypothesis and it can't be proven wrong, then assume it's correct!

Everything else, deal with it later!

"You guys..." Lin Yi began slowly. He wanted to ask what they had gone through but realized that if each Wei Liang in the corpse group recounted its experiences, even a hundred minds wouldn't be enough to listen, so he changed his question, "Do you have any constructive suggestions?"

"The last Old Lin asked that too?"

"Idiot, not the last time, the time before that, or the time before that..."

"No suggestions! No suggestions at all!"

"Can't escape death anyway! Just toss around as much as you want!"

Some Pseudo-Human Wei Liangs, having endured some unknown torment, had thoughts filled with surrender.

But some Pseudo-Human Wei Liangs were still shouting to make the boss die.

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Where did you fail, and is there a way to avoid it?"

"Avoid what?"

"Avoid what?!"

"Destiny is a loop, dodging the garbage truck at the crossroads but not the falling billboard!"

"Give up!"

"It really makes no sense!"

"Unless... unless you can leap out!"
