Chapter 14 "Ignore"

At this moment, Lin Yi felt a chill running up his spine, piercing straight into his brain like a sharp blade out of its sheath, and then transformed into countless streams of icy air that rushed out madly from the top of his head.

His limbs became extremely stiff in an instant, his brain went blank, all the black and white threads in his mind disappeared, leaving only the face of his classmate.

When the classmate turned his head, Lin Yi followed the warning of the head teacher and did not pay even a glance to observe him.

But even though Lin Yi's eyes were fixed on the table leg in front of him, the human eye's field of vision and the imaging ability of the retina still presented him with a relatively complete picture of his classmate's face.

It was a dull and youthful face, covered with a thick layer of greasy substance, as if a layer of white wax was spread out and then smeared on the face.

In his field of vision, there was a blurry, hanging black substance that seemed to be long hair, but also seemed to be something else.

And there seemed to be something on that classmate's face that was reflecting Huang Jingjing's light.

Lin Yi stared at the desk leg in front of him with full concentration. His body became extremely stiff due to the extreme trembling, and he seemed to have merged into one with the desk leg.

He concentrated and held his breath. Not only did he not dare to breathe, he even wanted to let the air wandering in his nostrils roll a few more times.

The classmate stared at Lin Yi blankly for a while, then tightly gripped the flashlight and slowly straightened his back.

Lin Yi's tense body finally relaxed slowly.

But just this moment.

“Swish!”

The classmate came back and suddenly bent half of his waist, tilting his waxy head to look at where Lin Yi was!

At this moment, there was only less than a fist's distance between him and Lin Yi!

He seemed to have noticed something, but he seemed unable to see Lin Yi. He just stared at the place where Lin Yi's face was with empty eyes, as if he wanted to be noticed by Lin Yi's gaze.

But Lin Yi's eyes were focused on the table legs from beginning to end.

The breath that Lin Yi was about to exhale was stuck between his chest and throat. In just a few seconds, his face turned red, his neck became thick, and his whole body began to tremble subconsciously.

An indescribable sense of terror spread in his heart, slowly igniting his desire to observe like a bonfire, tempting him to look at that face.

"Look at me..."

"Look at me..."

"I know... you can see me..."

"Look at me..."

“Please…”

Lin Yi didn't react at all, nor did he dare to react at all.

He just stared at the table leg intently. If his gaze was really as sharp as a knife, he would have carved the table leg into a round, straight, slender, beautiful leg...

Just when Lin Yi was holding his breath until his eyes were bloodshot and his mind was almost unclear, the classmate still refused to give up. He stretched out an arm that was as pale as if it was covered with plaster and reached towards where Lin Yi was.

"Fuck you!!!"

Lin Yi's eyeballs were about to pop out, but when a person is in a desperate situation, the only thing he can do is to go crazy.

Everything seemed to slow down extremely slowly, and countless rules were scrolling through Lin Yi's mind...

Student rules, teaching building rules...

"Damn it, what else?!"

"Yes! What Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang said!"

"And... what the homeroom teacher said!"

Each sentence formed a strong storm in Lin Yi's mind. At this moment, he did not feel tired at all. Instead, he felt determined and refreshed.

Just when his classmate's hand was about to reach his shoulder, he did something extremely crazy!

His eyes moved down the table legs and fell to the ground.

The composite floor tiles have messy patterns on them, like a child's scribbles.

At this moment, light and shadow intertwined above his head, and his classmates' hands were grabbing back and forth at his original position, and finally withdrew in disappointment after failing to grab.

“As expected! As expected!!”

Lin Yi's heart was pounding, but his body had already begun to tremble from the extreme breath holding. Despite this, he still held on to the leg of the desk tightly.

Because of the great strength, his knuckles began to turn white.

But his excitement outweighed everything. He was so excited that it was like giving himself a shot of chicken blood, pushing himself beyond the limit of his physical strength.

Because so far, he finally got his first positive feedback from the rules!

Before leaving, Xu Shunkang told him:

【Observing rules is a means of achieving self-protection. 】

The student rules state that:

[During this period, if you hear any unusual noises or see any unusual figures outside the window, please ignore them, especially if they are calling you from the dormitory or outside the classroom. ]

He had recited the student rules in his mind countless times, but none of them mentioned how to deal with a situation like the one just now.

Is this a student code issue?

Obviously not.

The student code of conduct summarizes the emergencies they might encounter into a dozen or so simple items, and the situation just now was obviously included in this item.

If there is any unusual noise in the classroom, the best thing to do is to "ignore" it.

And the head teacher gave a few warnings before leaving:

[Don't close your eyes!]
Don't look left or right and don't look up!

Don't communicate with anyone!

Ignore any sound! 】

All of these warnings are extensions of the concept of "ignore".

Whether it is the class teacher or Xu Shunkang and others, they seem to know more than himself, but they seem to have some concerns, so they can only remind himself in this way.

"Are you afraid that if you say too much, people will think too much about this?"

Lin Yi felt that his guess was correct.

It’s okay to think, but you can’t think about phenomena that don’t seem right, and you can’t try to understand something that seems weird.

The several times he had felt intense fatigue before were because he was thinking about these things.

"So whether they can see me or not has something to do with whether I can see them or not?"

"Or... is this rule based on some kind of 'underlying logic'?"

"This series of practices, including 'ignoring', are all based on a very basic 'law'."

This thought subconsciously emerged in his mind.

At the same time, he subconsciously turned his attention to the classmate who had just walked away...

At the critical moment, he used a soul-searching question to shatter his attention that was about to be focused on his classmates——

"Which one is better, the Bare Legs Cult or the Silk Stockings Cult?"

"The Silk Stocking Cult is absolutely invincible, but if we face some special situations in the Bare Legs Cult..."

"Emmm..." As the slender thighs and beautiful legs in stockings gradually emerged in his mind, Lin Yi felt that the original feeling of suffocation and discomfort was being relieved.

"call--"

"Alright, it's all right now..."

Hearing that his classmates seemed to be turning around and leaving, Lin Yi breathed a long sigh of relief. His nerves, which had been so tense that they were about to break, finally slowly relaxed at this moment.

He suddenly understood why comics, especially H-comics, were placed on the bookshelf in the circular lecture hall...

When the time comes when you have to change your way of thinking, Sese's core driving force is above all else.

"But then again, what do girls think at this time?"

Lin Yi shook his head. This question was beyond the scope.

He pulled back his mental strength, feeling the pulse of the earth like Voldemort, his hands grasping the two table legs, as if he was a giant turtle nailed to the floor tiles by the desk.

Suddenly, a strange noise was heard on the desk above him, as if a sandbag had hit the leg of the desk.

A heavy force was transmitted along the desk to the corner of the desk. Lin Yi's nerves, which had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up again. He gripped the legs of the desk tightly, trying his best to control the desk from moving.

"What's going on now?!"

"Are you going to flip the table?"

"It's a good way to play, huh?"

He clenched his teeth, but the desk suddenly became silent.

Just when Lin Yi was somewhat confused, a huge black shadow slid down the corner of the desk and crashed into him with a "bang"...

It was the little genius who had the portable flashlight in his hand at the beginning.

He had lost all vital signs, his eyes were rolled back and only the whites were left, and his distorted face was filled with intense fear and despair...

He fell to the ground, staring at Lin Yi with his huge, pale eyes, as if he wanted to release all the terror he felt before death.

But Lin Yi didn't see it.

Having understood some of the rules of survival, he had already been staring at the patterns on the ground before the little genius's body slid down.

The terror was like a tide, but he was like a rock, standing firm despite the darkness.

But the body of the little genius began to slide slowly...

It turned out to be the classmate from earlier, holding the little genius's feet in one hand and the portable flashlight in the other, moving slowly in the classroom.

He was like a lawful evil night watchman, randomly flashing beams of light and dragging corpses around the classroom.

"what--"

Some students who were hiding under the desks accidentally saw the miserable condition of the little genius. Unable to withstand such suppressed fear, they let out screams of collapse.

At this moment, a difficult voice came out from the student's throat:
"You...saw me!"

The extremely hoarse voice sounded like someone speaking with sand in his mouth, and it sounded as if worms were crawling on his body.

"I found you!"

"We...found you!"

“Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish…”

In the classroom, eyes fell on the desks in the dark corners, locking onto the students who were screaming.

“Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah…”

The seats bounced back one after another, and thin and straight figures left their seats one after another.

X023年5月6日，22:43。

In the dim classroom of Class 2, Group B, teaching building.

One after another, figures patrolled in the dark classroom. Occasionally, a beam of light would shine through, stretching their shadows straight on the ground.

Thick fog whistled in through the open classroom door, causing the pages of books on the bookshelf to flip and rustle.

The night deepened, the fog grew thicker, lightning outside the window tore through the night sky, and figures moved around in the classroom, moving stiffly, like a forest of dense steles.

……

Lin Yi just lay on the floor tiles, his eyes fixed on the patterns on the ground, concentrating on using his ears to find the beating sound of the hands of his quartz watch amidst the screams that came one after another.

“Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack…”

He silently counted every tick of the pointer, and time seemed to flow through his fingertips.

Until the pointer jumped to the 1358th second, the incandescent light in the classroom, which had been extinguished for a long time, suddenly flickered with a "pop" and then slowly went out with a "click" sound.

“Clang—clang—”

In the corridor outside the classroom, there was a sound of an iron chain rubbing against the ground.

“Boom! Boom! Boom…”

The heavy footsteps echoed in the classroom corridor.

A figure as tall as an iron tower was reflected on the frosted window glass.

"It's the security guard!" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, but he remained motionless.

The security guard's figure moved slowly on the window glass, from the back of the classroom to the door, and then stopped.

The sound of the chain rubbing against the ground stopped as the footsteps stopped.

But the next moment, the chain slid rapidly on the ground with a "swish". Lin Yi's mind automatically imagined the scene of the security guard's burly figure like a mountain swinging the chain.

The iron chain rushed into the classroom with a strong sound of breaking wind, and the next moment Lin Yi heard the sound of the iron chain being entangled on some tough object.

"get out!"

The security guard's heavy and low voice sounded like thunder on a summer night. He exerted force suddenly, and the iron chain pulled the entangled object out of the classroom!
After that, the classroom door slammed shut with a bang.

As the classroom door closed, the two worlds seemed to be cut off by a knife.

The last scene reflected on the glass was the security guard holding something black and rolling down the stairs.

The whole world seemed to be quiet.

Those students who were not right in the classroom just stood there in a daze.

Only an incandescent lamp on the ceiling was left, flickering "boo... zzz... boo... zzz..."

Before long, the incandescent lights in the classroom began flickering one after another.

As the incandescent lamp came back on, the light in the classroom gradually returned, and the mist that filled the floor tiles disappeared quickly as if it had met its nemesis.

Lin Yi stared at the ground, observing the frequency of changes in light and shadow on the ground very carefully, in order to judge the restoration of vision of the incandescent lamps in the classroom.

When the lights stopped flickering, Lin Yi slowly got up from the ground, his sight rising from the floor tiles to the table legs again, observing the movements in the classroom out of the corner of his eye.

But because he had just been pulled almost three times by that weird classmate, even though he felt the classroom was safe, he still had no intention of leaving his desk.

He was waiting to see if any fool would dare to be the first to step forward.

Then he heard a voice beside him that sounded as if he had been pardoned: "Lao Lin...are you okay? Damn, you scared me to death just now!"
