Chapter 10 Going to the Bathroom
Chapter 10 Going to the Bathroom
"Ah? Then how did you judge it? Could it be that you are a master of Xuanmen and can figure out whether there is any problem with them?"
Lin Yi was speechless.
"It's fine if you've been talking nonsense all along, but why are you talking about metaphysics every three sentences now?"
"Don't look at them. You should look at those people who are abnormal at first glance. Those who are stared at by abnormal people are basically normal. Do you understand what I mean?"
Wei Liang snapped his fingers and said in surprise: "Lao Lin, you are such a genius!"
"Come on, why do I feel like you're playing dumb?"
"Uh...is it so obvious?" Wei Liang retreated tactically.
Lin Yi was speechless. He thought for a while and suddenly stood up from his chair.
"What's the matter?" Wei Liang asked immediately.
Lin Yi looked at the door through which Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang left and said, "I thought of something."
Wei Liang followed Lin Yi's gaze and smiled knowingly: "I understand this time! Leave it to me!"
After saying that, Wei Liang also stood up from his chair, and then, under Lin Yi's gaze, walked towards the bookshelf in the back row of the circular classroom.
"Why isn't it you?" Lin Yi grabbed Wei Liang.
"Ah? Didn't you understand Xu Shunkang's words and plan to watch H comics all night long?" Wei Liang looked at Lin Yi, who had a puzzled look on his face, and asked in confusion.
Lin Yi: “…”
"So... you have realized this?" He gritted his teeth, his tone difficult and dry.
"Ah? Isn't it?" Wei Liang asked innocently.
Lin Yi showed a “tsk~nice!” expression, smacked his lips and said, “I’m a little curious about how you managed to spend seven days in this campus safely last time.”
Wei Liang was immediately displeased when he heard this: "Damn it, Lao Lin, you can question my IQ, but you can't question my ability to survive, right? I've even been on a wilderness survival variety show before!"
Lin Yi shrugged noncommittally.
The wilderness survival variety show that Wei Liang mentioned is actually about eating a protein-rich exploding caterpillar, then giving a thumbs up to the close-up shot and saying "this is delicious".
But he later dry-heaved for three days and wished he could take out his stomach and throw it in the washing machine.
So much so that now he feels nauseous whenever he sees caterpillar bread.
Lin Yi glanced at his watch.
20: 55.
"Okay, I won't bother with you anymore. I'm going to get down to business first."
Wei Liang quickly asked, "Hey, where are you going?"
Lin Yi said: "I'll go outside the classroom and take a look."
"what?"
"What? You are not allowed to leave the classroom in five minutes. Are you going or not?"
Wei Liang hesitated for a few seconds. Thinking that he was being observed by thirty or forty strange people, he got goosebumps. So he said, "Go, of course. If we are lucky and it doesn't rain and the fog is a little less, we can go back to the dormitory and sleep!"
If given the chance, Wei Liang didn't want to stay in the classroom overnight at all.
The two of them then walked down the steps of the circular classroom and headed towards the door.
All eyes from the thirty or forty students in the classroom began to focus on them.
Lin Async paused, and at a certain moment he suddenly understood what it meant to "feel like a thorn in the back".
He kept walking.
But just as he was about to reach the classroom door, the door handle was suddenly pressed down from outside.
“Kacha! Kacha!”
The door of the classroom was opened from the outside, and thick fog invaded the classroom through the gap in the door like tentacles, but it only spread a short distance before dissipating.
Water vapor with a slight fishy smell mixed with the biting cold wind seeped in and hit Lin Yi, who was closest to the door.
“Wow—wow—”
At a certain moment, a picture of waves hitting reefs under a dark moon emerged in Lin Yi's mind, and the sound of waves could be heard in his ears.
He shuddered suddenly and shook his head quickly to get rid of the thought.
He looked out the door.
The door was indeed opened.
The head teacher, wearing a slim professional suit, was standing at the door. She held a folder in one hand and pressed the door handle with the other hand, pushing the door.
When she met Lin Yi head-on, the head teacher was also stunned. Her round and straight black silk legs subconsciously took a half step back, and her high heels made a crisp "click" sound.
Lin Yi immediately pulled his gaze from the black stockings to a sufficient height and locked onto the badge on the head teacher's chest.
"Homeroom Teacher-B2-039".
He was relieved.
The head teacher glanced at them, said nothing more, and walked into the classroom. Then he said loudly: "Students are not allowed to leave this classroom after 21:00. Students who need to go to the bathroom please go now."
"If you don't go now and leave the classroom without permission after 21:00, I and the school district will not be responsible for the safety of your life and property."
"There are restrooms next to Group B 1 and Group B 3. Make sure the lights in the restrooms are normal before entering, and come back immediately after use."
After giving her instructions, she turned her gaze to Lin Yi and Wei Liang, and asked cautiously, "Classmates, were you going to leave the classroom just now?"
"Ah...we..." Wei Liang stammered.
Lin Yi said: "Teacher, we just want to go out for some fresh air and go to the bathroom."
The head teacher stepped aside and nodded: "Then hurry up and go, and come back when you're done."
"Good teacher."
……
X023年5月6日，20:58。
Lin Yi and Wei Liang were walking in the corridor of Building B of the teaching building. The stairs that led down to the teaching building were right next to them, but the thick fog seemed to have invaded the entire world, and the short stairs seemed to have no end in sight.
That half-covered feeling gives people the illusion that if they slip and fall down the stairs, they will fall into the abyss.
In the fog, a clear yellow light can be vaguely seen, like a lighthouse in the sea.
“Wow…wow…”
Lin Yi could faintly hear the sound of waves hitting the reefs.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He looked around and found that he was still in the corridor. He was sure that he was hallucinating again.
"Lao Lin, are you okay?" Wei Liang's voice sounded in his ears.
Lin Yi said: "What happened to me just now?"
Wei Liang said: "I saw you paused for a moment, I thought you had discovered something."
"A pause?"
Lin Yi was slightly stunned and asked, "Is it the same behavior as in the classroom?"
"I don't know." Wei Liang shook his head. "It's a feeling that I can't describe."
Lin Yi looked into the fog. There was no trace of anything in the thick fog, but he could hear the sound of dripping water in his ears.
In the suburbs of the mountains, everything is quiet at night, but once it rains, you will immediately feel like rain hitting banana leaves.
"This rain is not light." Lin Yi said.
Wei Liang asked in surprise: "You're not still thinking about going back to the dormitory to sleep, are you?"
Lin Yi nodded: "If there is a chance, I will definitely spend the night in the dormitory." According to the rules, if the seven-day college life experience is regarded as a survival game with a high bounty, then according to the rules, the dormitory is the only safe area in the entire campus.
Of course, Lin Yi couldn't understand some of the dormitory rules, especially the one regarding entry and exit times.
But this does not affect the dormitory being a safe area.
Although the teaching building, no, the classroom, is also a safe area to some extent.
"But we definitely can't go back in this kind of weather." Lin Yi shook his head.
"Let's take it one step at a time. The worst that can happen is that I can just read comics in the classroom all night." Wei Liang shrugged.
Although he has good looks, wisdom, and skills, he still insists on "obeying the rules" thoroughly.
Suddenly, Lin Yi stopped and asked in a deep voice: "Liangzi, how far have we walked just now?"
Wei Liang was stunned: "I don't know, maybe he's almost at the toilet? What happened?"
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
21: 08.
An ominous premonition suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.
He turned his head back for some unknown reason, his eyes widened instantly, and his pupils trembled violently.
A classroom was not far behind him, and the door number on the classroom was -
Group B, Class 2!
"It's been almost ten minutes since I walked out of the classroom, and you're still tapping your feet?!"
Lin Yi felt a chill in his heart and goose bumps appeared on his arms.
"What's wrong, Lao Lin?" Wei Liang turned his head subconsciously.
"Don't look back, Liangzi!"
Lin Yi stopped him immediately.
Wei Liang was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground: "Oh my god, don't be so startled, you scared me to death!"
But he still listened to Lin Yi honestly and didn't look back.
"What's wrong, Lao Lin? Is there something wrong?" he asked nervously.
Lin Yi suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was wrong. Liangzi, you just said that we are almost at the toilet, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"But we haven't seen the classroom of Group B Class 1 yet." Lin Yi tried to keep his tone calm. "You say, shouldn't we see Group B Class 1 first? Because we turned left when we went out."
Wei Liang thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, we should see Group B Class 1 first, and then the toilet will be almost there."
Lin Yi said: "I think so too."
"Next to Group B Class 2 should be Group B Class 1... Next to Group B Class 2 should be Group B Class 1..."
Lin Yi kept repeating it silently in his heart.
Walked about ten steps.
A classroom appeared not far from him. He looked carefully through the mist and saw the words "Group B Class 1" clearly written on the classroom's doorplate.
"Lao Lin, Lao Lin, Class 1 is here! The toilet should be right next to it!" Wei Liang said excitedly, but at the same time he couldn't help but mutter, "Damn, why does it feel like I've been walking for hundreds of years... Why does the teaching building feel longer today than the last time I came here?"
"Strange……"
But Lin Yi was not happy at all. He looked at the classroom number of Group B Class 1 as if he had seen a ghost, and he was extremely certain in his heart that if he had not guided Wei Liang to believe that they were about to reach Group B Class 1, they might not be able to get there even if they walked until tomorrow morning!
This suddenly reminded him of the absurd feeling he had when he was walking through the thick fog before - there were clearly two street lights not far from each other, but it took him more than ten minutes to run from one to the other!
A chilly wind blew out of the thick fog, mixed with water vapor and blowing on Lin Yi's face. Although he was in the mountains, Lin Yi could smell a unique fishy smell from the seaside...
The sound of the waves was about to ring in his ears again, but this time there seemed to be more echoes, like a whisper coming from a farther place.
From far to near.
From light to loud.
"Wow——"
“Wow—”
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes subconsciously, as if he had received some kind of call and was about to listen to the ancient echo.
He seemed to almost hear it clearly, a voice calling amid the sound of the waves.
The call was urgent and urgent...
He seemed to be washed by the waves and his whole body shook violently.
He heard the call, but before he fell, his will wanted to wake him up, so the strange call he heard gradually turned into a distant and near one - Lao Lin...
"Old Lin..."
"Old Lin!"
"Old Lin! Old Lin!"
He was shaken awake, and what caught his eye was Wei Liang's handsome face with a hint of ruffianism.
But now Wei Liang was very anxious, his eyes under the baseball cap were full of anxiety, his hands were on Lin Yi's shoulders, and he was using what he had learned all his life to shake his body.
That calling voice... was from Wei Liang.
Lin Yi suddenly woke up.
"Liangzi, did I take a nap again?"
Wei Liang shook his head helplessly, hesitating: "Hey, Lao Lin, you... Hey, I feel like you're not in a good condition, are you okay?"
He looked at Lin Yi with concern: "Have you been thinking too much along the way?"
Lin Yi lowered his head and nodded: "It's my fault, I shouldn't think so much."
In fact, Lin Yi knew that this was not his fault. It was probably the guidance caused by some kind of environment around him. Of course, maybe it did not come from the environment, but more like some kind of... psychological suggestion. Although he tried his best to wake himself up later, the sense of guidance that penetrated silently was the most dangerous element that caused him to fall into thinking.
"Alas, this is not your fault!" Wei Liang nudged Lin Yi with his elbow, "You like to use your brain, unlike me... who has no brains."
"Pfft..." Lin Yi was amused, "It all depends on you this time!"
Wei Liang waved his hands and said proudly: "Everyone has his own strengths, it's okay!"
Lin Yi half-jokingly said: "I can now understand why you were able to survive the seven days safely."
Wei Liang smiled, pointed to the front and said, "Hey, here we are at the bathroom!"
Lin Yi looked immediately and saw that there was indeed a bathroom not far away, with a long line of people waiting at the door.
These are the students who came to use the toilet one after another, and many of them have already finished.
"I suddenly don't feel like peeing anymore." Wei Liang lost interest in peeing when he saw the long line of people, and couldn't help but sigh, "Too good of a thing to happen in the men's restroom, wow..."
Lin Yi quickly said, "Since we're here, just wait in line. We're going to stay overnight, can your bladder handle it?"
"You're right. It would be okay if I fell asleep, but sleeping is not allowed in the classroom." Wei Liang shrugged helplessly.
Lin Yi shook his head and smiled without commenting.
But just as he shook his head and laughed, his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of a dark corner of the corridor...
In the interweaving of dim light and thick fog, he vaguely saw a thin figure standing there.
The figure just stood in the shadow, but its eyes seemed to be staring at him, and there was no telling when it would rush over and pounce on him.
It was almost too late, so embarrassing.
