Chapter 110
“Lin Yi Xiong.”
Seeing Lin Yi’s pale face, Cheng Yang grew terrified, “What…what’s wrong?”
“No…nothing.”
Lin Yi took a deep breath and, amidst the many doubtful stares, sat back down.
Seeing Cheng Yang’s worried face, Lin Yi knew that if he didn’t say anything, Cheng Yang would keep asking.
“I saw a cockroach.” Lin Yi said.
“A cockroach?” Cheng Yang was stunned and began looking around: “Where is it? Lin Yi Xiong, are you afraid of cockroaches?”
Lin Yi said, “In the bowl.”
Cheng Yang suddenly had a constipated expression. “Fuck?”
Now he understood why Lin Yi was so frightened.
Lin Yi was having white rice porridge with a few peeled tea eggs thrown in with it. Cheng Yang couldn’t see the disgusting cockroach. He craned his long neck to get a closer look, to see if the cockroach was buried under the rice.
“I saw wrong,” Lin Yi said.
Cheng Yang raised his head and observed Lin Yi’s face for a while, “Lin Yi Xiong.”
Lin Yi: “Hm?”
Cheng Yang said, “Why don’t you go back first and get some rest?”
Cheng Yang thought Lin Yi must be hallucinating from lack of rest. Lin Yi, Qin Zhou and Ren Li too; this lineup was quite luxurious. But it still took them such a long time to make it out of the 4-4 Rule World. The 4-4 Rule World must have been unusually difficult. His guess was that Lin Yi must have overworked his brain and hadn’t gotten enough rest.
After thinking about it, he couldn’t held admiring President Qin. No wonder he wasn’t going to have Lin Yi join the review meeting. It turned out he was looking after Lin Yi’s condition.
Lin Yi: “It’s fine, I’ll wait for you to finish eating.”
In order not to make Lin Yi wait for much longer, Cheng Yang hurriedly stuffed food in his mouth. After a few swallows, he mumbled with food still in his mouth, “Let’s go.”
Back in the dorm, Cheng Yang waited for Lin Yi to enter Room 304. He then stood by the door and said, “Lin Yi Xiong, have a good rest.”

“Okay.” Lin Yi bowed to Cheng Yang, “I’m going to sleep.”

“I’ll ask tomorrow.” Cheng Yang took out his phone and set an alarm. Lin Yi always got up earlier than he did. Tomorrow, he had to be up early.
Back in his room, Lin Yi lay down on the bed after a brief wash.
With his head lying on the pillow, he riffled in his pocket for the MP4 play. In the middle of his instinctive movement to place the earphones into his ears, he suddenly stopped.
He stared at the MP4 player in his hand.
Sometimes Lin Yi too found himself weird. No one in the world could fall asleep listening to such strange sounds like he did.
After hearing information about his parents from Teacher Sun, Lin Yi actually already had a vague premonition in his heart. But he simply couldn’t accept the development of the situation.
He really couldn’t accept it. Lin Yi had thought that he might be different from other people but that it would be a good kind of different, like the difference between a superhero and a human being.
Now Lin Yi realized that he seemed to be just a tool man.
“My IQ is 143.” Lin Yi stared at the MP4 and said sullenly, “All the seniors praised me as a genius.”
“Where have you ever seen a tool man with such a high IQ?” he tried to comfort himself.
He flipped through the available songs. Lin Yi had downloaded songs on the MP4 player before. He wasn’t going to listen to the strange noises tonight. He was going to find a sad emo song.
He hadn’t decided on a song yet when
‘Knock Knock Knock——’
There was a knock on the door.
Lin Yi was momentarily stunned. He immediately looked towards the bedroom door.
It’s been some time since he started studying at the Unnatural Engineering University. Cheng Yang was timid and would never knock on his door to look for him late at night. They both have the same major and they’ve been given permission to communicate with each other through their mobile phones. If there was anything, he would have contacted him directly.
Lin Yi suddenly remembered a Rule.
He couldn’t remember the exact number designation; he only remembered the gist: Never open the door for someone who knocks on your door.
This Rule already had a countermeasure; so long as you don’t open the door, you’ll be fine.
Lin Yi lay back down again and continued to flip through the songs.
Knock Knock Knock——
The knocks came again.
However, it was very light and didn’t not conform to the ‘three heavy and one light’.
“Who is it?”
Lin Yi put down the MP4 player and asked through the loud music.
Outside the door: “Qin Zhou.”
Lin Yi: “…”
He almost dropped the MP4 player in fright.
He’d almost forgotten how he’d immediately called Qin Zhou when he’d made that guess about the shadow being the 0-1 Monster. Qin Zhou was investigating the existence of the 0-1 Monster, so he subconsciously wanted to share clues.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Yi had quickly hung up the phone.
He can’t tell Qin Zhou about this. Otherwise, he’d be found out about lying how he hadn’t fallen asleep resulting in him not being able to accompany Qin Zhou to the ‘press release’ time rewind that second time.
And what would Qin Zhou think? If the 0-1 Rule really does exists and he catches up with the 0-1 Monster again, wouldn’t that be equivalent to throwing himself into the trap?
Outside the door: “You’re not asleep yet?”
Lin Yi was so regretful that his intestines were turning green. Why did he have to ask ‘who’?
Although Lin Yi didn’t answer Qin Zhou’s question about whether he was asleep or not, the fact was that it didn’t matter whether he answer or not.
Outside the door: “I’m coming in.”
The authority of the student union president was so high that he could enter student dorm rooms at night.
There was a ‘click’.
The key opened the lock, the door opened and a ray of light seeped through the gap.
Lin Yi saw the tall figure beyond the door and his guilty conscience came surging up once again. He quickly hid the MP4 player under the quilt and when he was done hiding it, he heard the soft closing sound of the door. Afterwards, a man’s silhouette made his way to his bedside.
Qin Zhou was very tall. He could see Lin Yi lying on the upper bunk just by standing upright.
Fortunately, the lights weren’t turned on in the dorm room. Lin Yi knew that Qin Zhou’s night vision wasn’t very good. He might be able to see his outline clearly but not his expression.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief.
But, with a ‘click’, Qin Zhou turned on the light.
Lin Yi: “…”
The sudden onslaught of light made Lin Yi close his eyes instinctively. The next second, Qin Zhou turned off the light once again. Lin Yi couldn’t help asking, “Senior.”
Qin Zhou: “Huh?”
Lin Yi: “Did you come here specially to torture me?”
Qin Zhou didn’t say a word, which made Lin Yi feel that his words might have come off a little too heavy. He was about to say that he was just joking, when he heard a soft laugh.
After Qin Zhou laughed, he said, “White-eyed wolf.”
Lin Yi gave him a call but hadn’t said anything. Qin Zhou thought of Lin Yi’s grave split personality secret. He thought that maybe Lin Yi’s body was being occupied by his sub-personality and quickly put aside what he’d been doing.
Selfishly turning on the light was because Qin Zhou thought he’d be facing the sub-personality, in which case, he didn’t care how he treated him.
But seeing that it was Lin Yi, Qin Zhou was relieved and asked, “What was with that phone call?”
Lin Yi explained, “It was accidental… it was a butt dial. I wasn’t paying attention when I put my phone in my pocket. I wanted to call you back after but I thought that Senior might be very busy.”
Qin Zhou: “En.”
Lin Yi could tell from Qin Zhou’s tone that he believed his explanation. His tense nerves relaxed a bit. He actually already guessed the purpose for Qin Zhou’s visit. His heart felt warm and there was a tickle in his throat once again. “Senior.”
Qin Zhou looked at him. “What?”
Lin Yi: “Thank you.”
He suddenly understood why Cen Qian wanted Yuan Yuan to stay. It felt really good to be cared about and remembered. He hadn’t been cared for for a long, long time.
Just come clean about your hypothesis and maybe about yourself not probably human.😁
+10
What I want to know is why do the de/d people in monster world look and smile at him (which only he can see) was that mocking
Good point.
Maybe it wasn’t for LY, but the 0-1 monster in him? Like the monsters who killed the players were greeting their creator?
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Talking in darkness is easier.. Lin Yi should take this chance to share at least a fraction of his hypothesis..
