Chapter 6 Class Teacher
Chapter 6 Class Teacher
"Delivering food?"
"What meal are you delivering?!"
Lin Yi was stunned for a second, but after quick thinking, he decided to follow the instructions on the notice board in the teaching building and inform everyone of his situation.
After hearing Lin Yi's words, the peephole on the office door opened with a "click", and an eyeball stuck in the peephole and began to look around Lin Yi's surroundings.
When she confirmed that it was indeed only Lin Yi, the peephole closed, and then the office door slowly opened, revealing a female teacher in a black professional suit standing at the door.
Without taking a close look at the female teacher's appearance, Lin Yi's wolf-like eyes immediately shot to her chest, searching for the location of the badge like a radar.
Fortunately, it was extremely easy to find a white badge on a black slim-fit short-sleeved suit, and Lin Yi immediately locked onto the badge.
This badge looks like a pure white acrylic plate with ironed thorn vine lace around it and gold-plated fonts in the middle: Class Teacher-B2-039.
Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The female teacher said, "Student, please come in first."
For some reason, Lin Yi felt that the female teacher seemed relieved after confirming that he was not the one who delivered the food.
"Wait...delivering food?" The moment Lin Yi stepped into the office, the scene of the security guard and a group of chefs walking through the thick fog suddenly flashed through his mind.
Those chefs wearing blue bibs hold the chain in one hand and carry a lunch box in the other hand!
"Could it be them?"
At this moment, the teacher's alert voice rang in Lin Yi's ears: "Student? What's wrong with you?"
He came to his senses all of a sudden, and then immediately replied: "Oh, I'm fine. Teacher, please help me with the admission procedures first."
There were too many things wrong, but Lin Yi didn't want to waste time thinking about anything other than getting his student ID.
The female teacher looked Lin Yi up and down, then closed the door and nodded, "Stand over there and don't move. I'll tell you if there's anything you need."
Lin Yi stood with his back against the office door, following the female teacher's gaze as he watched her sit down at the desk and then open the drawer.
Lin Yi noticed that the teacher's drawer was messy, but there was a blue envelope neatly placed in the corner.
She pushed the envelope aside, then took out a form and a stack of cards from the bottom.
She moved the cards neatly, then stopped and pulled one out, put it in front of her eyes to check the front and back, then held it up to compare with Lin Yi.
"Lin Yi... Group B, Class 2, student number X0230506098..."
While repeating the information on the card, she pasted the attachments on the back of the card onto the form, and then with her pen flying, she quickly recorded some information on the form.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Yi would definitely take a few more glances at this female teacher. After all, it is extremely rare to see a young female teacher with a good figure, a slim professional suit, hip-hugging black stockings and high heels.
But he has encountered too many unreasonable and strange things along the way. Now he has lost all interest and just wants to get his student ID as soon as possible.
Moreover, this small office without any windows made him feel very depressed. In his subconscious, there was a strong feeling of discomfort that was impacting his senses, driving him to leave here.
So after taking a few quick glances at the teacher's beautiful legs in black stockings, Lin Yi withdrew his gaze, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and observed the office.
This is a private office. The space observable to the naked eye is only about ten square meters. There is not even a window in the small space. The minimalist space exudes a depressing atmosphere that makes people feel breathless.
The office was extremely simply furnished. Apart from the teacher's desk, there was only a bookshelf, a sofa, a few potted plants, and a trash can.
The office looked very simple at first glance, and even the books on the shelves were arranged meticulously. However, the more Lin Yi observed, the stronger the feeling of discomfort and weirdness in his heart became.
He turned and looked at the wall.
There was an old-fashioned pendulum clock hanging on the pink and white wall, but the pendulum was no longer moving.
The time on the clock stopped at seven thirty-nine.
He looked at other corners again, and suddenly found some scraps of paper in a hidden corner under the female teacher's desk. Then he found some small balls of torn and crumpled paper in the shadow of the sofa.
These paper balls are not well hidden, like toys hidden by a three-year-old child. They are not easy to notice at first glance, but when placed in the overall clean environment of the office, they are particularly eye-catching once you observe carefully.
"On the contrary, there aren't many paper balls thrown into the trash can..." Lin Yi muttered in his heart.
Just as Lin Yi was staring at the trash can, he suddenly found a simple lunch box at the bottom of the trash can.
From the appearance, this lunch box was exactly the same as the one held by the chef in a blue bib that he met in the thick fog, but some dark red unknown sticky substance seemed to be flowing out of the tilted edge of the lunch box.
As he stared at the trash can, the feelings of uneasiness and discomfort in his heart began to blend together. An indescribable strange feeling surged out of the trash can, hitting him like waves, making his heart beat rapidly.
But at the same time, an extremely absurd and unreasonable thought sprouted in his mind -
walk over!
Go over and pick up that lunch box!
Look what that sticky substance is in the lunch box!
Just as he was about to take the first step towards the trash can, a gentle yet slightly chilling voice sounded beside him.
"That's expired food that wasn't thrown away in time. Don't worry about it."
Lin Yi turned around and suddenly found that the female teacher had been standing next to him without him knowing when, staring at his face with a faint smile on her face.
"Ah...Oh, oh! Okay, teacher." Lin Yi said quickly.
The female teacher handed the card to Lin Yi, and also gave him a booklet, saying, "This is your student ID card. Remember to keep it safe. If you lose it, please come to me as soon as possible."
"This booklet is the 'Teaching Building Rules'. You can take your time to read it when you get to the classroom."
"Remember, for your own safety, both the student rules and the building rules must be followed. Any time you encounter conflicting rules, use your own judgment based on your current identity and situation."
"Oh, ok, then what's your name, teacher?" Lin Yi asked after taking the student ID.
"You don't need to know my name, you just need to remember this badge and uniform." The female teacher pointed to her badge, "From now on, your homeroom teacher will not be me, but the person wearing this badge with the number 'Homeroom Teacher-B2-039'."
"And you, Lin Yi, you are not my student either. My student is the person holding the student ID in your hand."
"So remember my words. From now on, please keep your student ID card safe. You can talk about your student ID card with others, but never hand it over to anyone else."
"do you understand?"
The teacher's serious look startled Lin Yixin.
"Is this part of the 'code'...teacher?" Lin Yi asked subconsciously.
The female teacher said: "This is not a 'rule', but my warning to you! Any class teacher must do their best to protect the safety of students while they are in school."
Lin Yi nodded, pointed at the trash can, and said hesitantly: "Teacher, that trash can..."
The female teacher looked at the trash can in confusion. The light in her pupils suddenly flashed, and then her face changed. She said, "You should leave! You should leave!"
"Okay, teacher. I'll leave first then." Lin Yi didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly walked towards a curtain deep in the office.
At the back of this small office, right between the desk and the bookshelf, there is a partition. This partition is closed with a curtain, and Lin Yi was unable to tell what was inside when he observed it.
But since Tian Bufan and others who came in earlier did not go out through the main gate, they must have left from that side.
But when Lin Yi walked towards the partition, the female teacher stopped him: "Student, the door is over there."
The teacher pointed to the office door.
Lin Yi was stunned: "Over there? Where is the person who came in earlier than me?"
"Someone who came in earlier than you?" The female teacher rubbed her head and thought seriously, then said, "There was a man named Wei Liang who came in earlier than you, but he has left." "I opened the door for you after he left. Didn't you meet him?"
"It's normal if you didn't meet him. He should have arrived in the classroom..."
Lin Yi's heart tightened when he heard this.
"Only Wei Liang came in? And he's already left?"
He suddenly remembered that when Wei Liang knocked on the door, there was also a female voice behind the door, while when Tian Bufan, Wei Shan and others knocked on the door, there were male voices behind the door.
"Could it be possible that the same door could lead to different places?"
Lin Yi felt that ever since he stepped into the campus, his cognition had been undergoing various shocks and challenges.
The female teacher's voice sounded: "Memorize your student ID card and copy it again before you leave."
Lin Yi did as he was told, but while copying, he took advantage of the moment when the female teacher turned around and picked up a ball of waste paper scattered in the corner and put it in his pocket.
With just this small move, Lin Yi had used all the techniques he had honed through years of cheating.
Fortunately, the female teacher didn't notice that he had stolen a ball of paper.
"Okay, open the door now and go out. Don't close the door after you go out. Take a look at the first classroom on the right. If it matches the classroom number on your student ID, go in."
"If not, come back, close the door and go out again."
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat: "Even the location of the classroom can be changed?!"
But he didn't say much, just nodded and prepared to do as the teacher instructed.
"Wait a moment." The female teacher called Lin Yi again.
Lin Yi turned around in confusion.
The teacher asked, "What time is it now?"
Lin Yi then understood that when he reached for the door handle, the watch in his sleeve was exposed and seen by the female teacher.
He then looked down at his watch and said, "Seven three..."
"The pendulum clock on the wall is broken."
Lin Yi smiled awkwardly: "Eight five."
The female teacher waved her hand: "Go ahead."
Lin Yi quickly opened the door...
The environment outside the door is exactly the same as before, but the original stairwell has become the main entrance of a classroom.
The classroom door was closed, and the sign on the door read: Class 2, Group B.
"It seems to be correct."
He turned and closed the office door.
“Bang!”
When the door closed, Lin Yi felt the same way as when Mao Feiyang closed the door of the stairwell.
That feeling of being separated from the world.
It seemed that even if he knocked on the door again and could open it, the room behind it would not be the teacher's office.
This is really weird.
In the office.
When Lin Yi left, the female teacher obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she dropped her eyes and murmured, "Eight and five?"
She looked at the pendulum clock on the wall, and saw that the originally motionless pendulum was now swinging very regularly, and the time on the clock face was neither more nor less—
Eight five.
There was a look of doubt in the teacher's eyes.
She rubbed her eyes, and the clock face turned to the still 7:39.
She closed her eyes, then opened them again...
Walking around at eight o'clock.
Then it was 7:39 when it was still... 8:05 when it was moving...
"Oh no! Oh no!"
There was panic in the teacher's eyes. She rushed to the desk and opened the drawer to take a look.
Blue envelopes and messy documents are piled in the drawer.
The female teacher let out a long sigh of relief and slumped down on the chair.
"call--"
“It’s okay, it’s okay…”
……
As the evening breeze blew, Lin Yi thought of something and shuddered suddenly.
And this incident made Lin Yi certain that Tian Bufan and the others had entered an office that was completely different from his own!
"I stayed in the office for more than ten minutes before coming out, but Mr. Tian and the others knocked on the door and went in just half a minute later!"
Just as he was thinking about this question, he felt as if someone was watching him. Following the feeling, he turned around and saw a thin figure in the corridor not far away.
The figure just stood there in the shadow where the light from the corridor could not reach, staring straight at him, and there was no telling when it would rush over and pounce on him.
Lin Yi got goose bumps on his arms, and quickly pushed open the door of Class 2, Group B, and entered the classroom.
As soon as he entered the classroom, someone called him.
"Old Lin!"
Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Wei Liang sitting in the classroom waving at him with excitement on his face. It was as if he had met a great person in a foreign land.
"Come, come, come and sit here!" Wei Liang greeted excitedly.
In the classroom, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yi. Lin Yi quickly glanced at them and came to Wei Liang.
This classroom is a huge circular lecture hall that is common in universities. The professor or teacher will give lectures on the semicircular podium in the center of the classroom, and the students in the audience will sit on circular chairs to listen to the lectures, just like the opera stage in ancient Greece.
Lin Yi's heart was filled with doubts. At this moment, he simply ignored the gazes of other students in the classroom, walked straight to Wei Liang, put down the folding chair, and sat down.
"Mr. Lin, where is your student ID?" Wei Liang asked as soon as Lin Yi sat down.
