Chapter 17 Classmate's murder logic
Chapter 17 Classmate's murder logic
Lin Yi also wanted to see it, but he didn't.
But the more he tried to restrain himself, the more anxious he became.
Finally, he decided to do something serious that would definitely bring his attention back - reviewing the situation.
So he took a deep breath, closed the comic, and then stared at the female nurse on the cover of the comic. In his mind, he re-applied the survival conclusion he had inferred to the entire incident after the lights in the classroom flashed, and began to analyze and find out the reason why he was targeted by that classmate.
……
Fortunately, Lin Yi had the habit of looking at his watch, so when he started reviewing the situation, he was able to match most of the details with the time points.
"If I remember correctly, the lights in the classroom went out completely before 22:00. At 22:, the thing outside the door walked into the classroom."
"Based on the security guard's subsequent actions, the thing outside the door seemed to have stayed at the podium after entering the classroom..."
"It's possible that the object has moved, but I'm going to assume that it has always been where the podium is."
That thing didn't affect the review, so Lin Yi's attention was not on it.
"At 22:02, the little genius turned on the flashlight... and then the classmate found him and killed him..."
"The flashlight fell to the ground and hit me. When the classmate bent down to pick up the flashlight, he saw me and started to fight with me..."
"After the fight, the classmate dragged the little genius' body around the classroom. Other students who were not right left their seats one after another, and then the classroom was filled with screams..."
"At 22:43, the security guard came and took the thing on the podium out of the classroom. After the classroom door was closed, the lights gradually returned to normal..."
"Before the security guards showed up, the lights seemed to start flickering. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the security guards..."
The first time he reviewed the game, the entire process flashed through his mind like a fast-forwarded movie, and he didn't seem to discover anything.
"It doesn't seem right. I seem to have missed something crucial?" Lin Yi couldn't help but frowned.
But fortunately, this evening self-study session lacks everything except time, so Lin Yi quickly started the second review.
After the second review, he found three points:
[1. The little genius turned on the flashlight and attracted the first student to leave his seat, and was killed by his classmate.]
[2. The classmate picked up a flashlight and saw him, but he didn't find him, let alone kill him.]
[3. Other students seem to be injured.]
But there was no logical connection between these three points. Lin Yi could only continue to review the game for the third time, the fourth time, and the fifth time...
But after he reviewed the situation many times, he suddenly realized a problem - the classmate didn't actually see him when he picked up the flashlight!
"That classmate is blind and can't see me at all!"
“Wrong, wrong, wrong!”
"My review logic was wrong from the beginning!"
"So first make sure the method of survival remains unchanged, then add the additional condition of "the classmate has no eyesight" and review the logic..."
The way to survive is:
【Don't think in your mind, and ignore reality in your behavior. 】
The additional conditions are:
【The classmate does not have vision. 】
Well…actually the light from the flashlight was not the reason for inducing the classmates to deal with the little genius.
"So what was the trigger that led that classmate to take action?"
Lin Yi recalled carefully...
Then he realized that he had missed a key condition again - that is, what the classmate said when he was looking for him.
Those words may not have been spoken by the classmate himself, but they certainly rang in his ears.
"If I remember correctly, it was something like... begging me to look at him?"
「Look at me……」
"Look at me..."
"I know... you can see me..."
"Look at me..."
「Please……」】
"I know you can see me", "Look at me"...
Lin Yi muttered these words over and over in his mind.
Suddenly, it was as if a spiritual light flashed across the dark night, leaving a silvery-white light behind his head!
“Clang—”
His eyes suddenly lit up, and the BGM of "The scheming kid keeps touching your belly" seemed to ring in his ears.
It was as if the famous little detective boy with glasses had sorted out the logical chain and was about to start the final reasoning.
The truth is——
"Only if you can see that classmate clearly will you be found and killed by that classmate!"
"The little genius turned on the flashlight, which caused him to see his classmate, triggering a certain mechanism belonging to that classmate, causing him to be killed by the classmate!"
"That student picked up the flashlight not because the beam caught his attention, but because he heard a strange noise and wanted to capture it."
Lin Yi clearly remembered this in his review. After his classmate bent down, he did not see the flashlight accurately all at once, but instead touched it on the ground several times before he felt it.
And after the lights in the classroom were restored, the student did not turn off the flashlight, but held it in his hand and kept touching it, as if he was very curious about this thing.
"So, he was clearly looking at me, but he didn't notice me at all."
"But, because I vaguely caught some of his scenes, I had a 'brush' effect with his killing mechanism."
"He begged me to look at him, but if I saw him, he would kill me the first time!"
"But I didn't look at him, so I didn't enter his killing mechanism, and that's how I escaped!"
After figuring out this logic, Lin Yi matched all the details one by one!
The way that classmate reached under the desk to grab Lin Yi was very similar to the way he fumbled on the floor tiles to find the flashlight.
As expected, there was no such thing as a terrifying supernatural attack; it was all just an extreme survival game within the rules!
Believe in science as much as possible - even if reality gives you a big hole, even if science cannot explain why such rules exist.
And all the inferences also prove that the head teacher’s warning of “ignoring principles” was correct.
[Don't close your eyes!]
Don't look left or right and don't look up!
Keep your eyes fixed on the patterns on the ground or on the legs of your desks, and at the same time silently recite your name and student number in your mind!
Don't communicate with anyone!
Ignore any sound! 】
"As long as you ignore everything, you won't enter your classmates' killing mechanism!" "Besides, the other classmates were discovered because they saw him!"
In a dark environment, once you focus on the table legs, you are basically safe. But a little genius with a portable flashlight appeared in the huge classroom!
The beam of a flashlight is enough to suddenly allow normal students hiding under the desks to see those students who are not right, and thus cause them to be harmed.
"Ryoko is right again, what a stupid genius!"
"A wave of reverse operations showed a big group wipe!"
"You're harming others and yourself!"
"But why did the homeroom teacher warn us not to close our eyes?"
Normally speaking, closing your eyes is the easiest way to ignore something, right?
Then why not?
"It seems that there is a rule about 'closing your eyes' in the student code..."
One is about abnormal weather:
If you are lost in unusual weather, please look for the nearest numbered street light.
If you can't find the numbered street lights right away, keep your head down and look at the ground below you for any reference points that will let you know you're still on the road. If you notice the ground is twisting, stretching, or changing in any way that doesn't make sense, hold your student ID and map tightly in your hands and keep your name and student number in your mind.
Remember you are a student. 】
There is another one about dormitories. Compared with the one about abnormal weather, dormitories and classrooms are both indoors, so it seems more relevant:
[The dormitory is equipped with a bathroom. If you want to wash your hair, do not close your eyes while washing your hair. Make sure you can see the bathroom tiles, patterns, and other reference points that can confirm that you are still in the bathroom. ]
"From the rules, I don't know why, but it seems that closing your eyes will lead to unexpected dangers..."
But these things are not what he should think about now.
Therefore, Lin Yi did not think about it any more. Now that he had roughly deduced his classmate's killing mechanism, he should think of a way to trigger the mechanism and find a way to eliminate his classmates' attention to him.
Otherwise, the existence of this classmate would always be like a sword hanging over his head that could fall at any time, giving him a strong sense of crisis.
Lin Yi pondered:
"That classmate wants to see me, but first he needs me to see him."
"And the reason why he noticed me was because I noticed him..."
"So he was able to vaguely sense my location through this, which is why he was able to follow me no matter how I hid behind the bookshelf at the beginning..."
Lin Yi came up with a guess:
"So, if I want to avoid being noticed by him, I just need to stop noticing him?"
He recalled that the reason why this kind of attention exists is actually two-way.
When he noticed that classmate, that classmate received feedback and then noticed him through this feedback.
And once that classmate noticed him, he would naturally feel like he was being watched.
The emergence of this feeling will deepen his attention on that classmate.
This formed a vicious cycle, where the classmate took advantage of Lin Yi's ever-increasing concentration to continuously strengthen his lock on Lin Yi.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but shudder!
If he had not deduced this causal relationship, once the lights in the classroom went out, no matter how well he hid, he would sooner or later follow in the footsteps of the little genius as his attention deepened.
"So, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. If I don't care about him, he will lose my 'coordinates'."
After going around in circles, we are back to the warning given by the head teacher at the beginning - ignore it.
“But what’s the logic here?”
"Is it just a matter of simply not thinking?"
It's not that simple.
He couldn't help but glance at Wei Liang.
Wei Liang's face was almost close to the book, and he was looking between the crowd with a very dialectical look.
Lin Yi sighed in his heart. Comparing Wei Liang with other normal students, he suddenly understood the key to the problem - execution.
So what if everyone has a copy of the code?
Everyone has different execution abilities, and therefore different degrees of compliance with rules.
The real big question is how to absolutely abide by various rules in such a weird atmosphere, and to what extent these rules can be abided by.
When faced with such an outrageous thing, who can remain rational, or rather, remain dull and not think?
Even Lin Yi himself, after receiving Xu Shunkang's warning, almost fell into the trap several times.
The behaviors that are done subconsciously and may violate the rules are the most deadly.
Lin Yi took a deep breath and decided to use practical actions to dispel the attention and overcome the current difficulties first.
So he put the first volume of "Night X Hospital (Hardcover Edition)" at hand, and then found his own comic from those migrant workers' comics he had selected.
"Water Shadow Ninja: The Kawaki Legend".
Lin Yi had read "Mizukage Ninja" when he was a child. He heard that this "Kawaki Legend" is a sequel, telling the story of Uzumaki Kawaki, the son of the protagonist of the previous work, fighting against Boruto Otsutsuki, the enemy who killed his father.
He planned to dig up his childhood memories and engage in some immersive reading to distract himself from that classmate.
After watching it a few times...
“Bang!!!”
Lin Yi slammed "The Mizukage: The Kawaki Legend" heavily to the ground.
"What the hell is this painting! Is it a lie?"
“Have you really considered the readers’ feelings when putting this kind of book on the bookshelf?!”
Hearing Lin Yi's complaints, Wei Liang looked over in surprise. When he saw the copy of "Mizukage Ninja: The Kawaki Legend" on the ground, he suddenly felt relieved.
"I reminded you when I took it, this Kawaki Biography was drawn by the original author's assistant, and it contains too much personal opinion, so it's better to use it as toilet paper."
"What's wrong? Don't you like "Night X Hospital"? "
Wei Liang frowned slightly. He didn't expect Lin Yi to have such picky tastes.
But when he thought about how Lin Yi liked the more passionate ones, he went through the catalog on the bookshelf in his mind and said, "Old Lin, wait for me!"
He left his seat like a whirlwind, and walked through the crowd of students who were acting weird as if nothing had happened, saying in a low voice as he walked: "Please make way!"
"You guys aren't sleepy during the evening self-study, are you? Why are you all standing up like wooden sticks?"
He cursed as he walked through the crowd and came to the bookshelf. A few minutes later, he brought back a set of comics and slapped them in front of Lin Yi.
“Ikkito X, a passionate battle H-manga, might be the type you like.”
"If you don't like it, there's this one, Taima X Ninja. It also has some ninja elements, but the taste is a bit stronger, not suitable for newcomers... Would you like to try it?"
Lin Yi stared at Wei Liang with eyes wide open and mouth wide open. Thinking of his agile figure wandering in front of the bookshelf before, he couldn't help but ask: "Liangzi... Did you read the Seven Days Comics the last time you came?"
Thanks to the book friends "Life is often disappointing" and "Jianghu www" for the tips! !
In addition, I don’t know the killing mechanism of “that classmate”. Are you readers satisfied with it?
