Chapter 20 Golden Eyes

Chapter 20 Golden Eyes
"Dear students, due to some special circumstances that occurred last night, there have been some temporary changes to this week's class schedule."

"I have printed out the latest class schedule. If there are any changes, I will come to the class in advance to inform you, just like I did today."

The head teacher took out a class schedule from the folder he carried with him, inserted it into the notice board next to the blackboard, and continued:
"According to the school's requirements for class teachers, in order to protect students' life experience from being affected by some special circumstances, I need to inform you in advance of the precautions for activities on campus."

“I will only tell you the following once today, please remember it carefully:
1. Our school is currently in the trial stage, so the class timetable is for reference only and there will be no actual teachers entering the classroom to teach.

If someone who claims to be a teacher comes in, please confirm whether he is wearing a badge that represents the teacher's identity..."

The head teacher pointed to his badge and continued:
"If the person is wearing a badge, please write down the number on the badge."

"If the person is not wearing a badge...please do not pay attention to any of his subsequent actions, and do not do what he asks you to do."

"Did you hear that clearly?"

The head teacher looked around the empty classroom with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, a timid voice rang out in the classroom: "Teacher!"

In a corner of the circular lecture hall, a student weakly raised his hand, and then, under the gaze of the head teacher, whispered:

"Teacher, what happened last night?"

When Lin Yi heard the classmate's question, he immediately narrowed his eyes and pricked up his ears.

Wei Liang immediately covered his ears with his hands, poked Lin Yi and said, "Old Lin, listen first, and then tell me what I know. Please help me filter out the parts that sound wrong."

Lin Yi rolled his eyes. In response to Wei Liang's operation which revealed his top-level understanding of survival, he could only make an international friendly gesture in his mind.

When the head teacher heard this, a ripple appeared in her eyes, and her tone suddenly became sharp: "Please forget everything that happened last night, don't try to understand the past, and don't make too many guesses - for your safety."

There was still fear in the classmate's eyes about what happened last night, but based on this fear, he wanted to ask more clearly.

Upon seeing this, the head teacher slowly swept his calm eyes across the classroom.

She had counted the number of people in the class around 21:00 last night, but now there were only fifteen left.

Her reaction to this situation was extremely calm, as if everything was within her expectations.

But among these fifteen people, except for a guy who covered his ears as if he was implementing her survival guide, most of the remaining fourteen people had pale faces with lingering fear, but they all turned their eyes to her.

It seems that everyone wants an answer.

The head teacher narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment before speaking, "If you really want to know, I can only tell you this...Due to the special period, our school is actually conducting a joint anti-terrorism and anti-riot exercise with a special force."

"The so-called 'life experience' is actually asking you to act as trainees and cooperate with the drill without knowing it."

"And yesterday was one of those drills."

"Because it involves confidentiality, the school cannot disclose too much information."

"As for the missing students, they were eliminated during the exercise."

"If you are eliminated early, you will not be able to obtain the experience bonus given by the school."

After listening to the head teacher's explanation, the fear in many students' eyes faded a little, and when they came to the words "experience bonus", their eyes finally fluctuated slightly.

People die for money.

They originally came here for the 30,000 yuan experience bonus.

After learning such a small part of the secret, they all felt much more at ease.

The head teacher took advantage of the victory.

"If you fail to follow the rules and don't heed my warnings, then once you are eliminated, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Do you understand now?" she asked, staring at the classmate.

"Ming, I understand..."

The head teacher continued, "So the warnings I gave you are all based on the school's summary of this part of the secrets."

"If the pass rate is too low and the joint exercise fails, the school will also be embarrassed."

"So you don't need to think about why you do this, nor do you need to understand why the code is written this way, and you don't need to think about some contradictory things. You just need to honestly follow the code."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"I can (understand, comprehend)..." Voices of responses rang out one after another in the circular tiered classroom.

The head teacher nodded and continued:
"Then the second point, 2..."

"2..." She paused suddenly, as if her brain had suddenly blacked out, and a look of doubt appeared on her face.

She pinched her brows, shook her head gently, and then continued:

"2. There are three physical education classes per week on the curriculum. Unless it is rainy or foggy, everyone must attend."

"Remember those who don't go to gym class and sit farther away from them."

"3. There will be sports students and art students coming to class from time to time. Their schedules are different from yours. Don't talk too much with them, but you can listen to some suggestions from the sports students."

"By the way, gym students have very bad tempers. If they scold you, don't fight them... You will never be able to beat a gym student."

"As for art students, people who are into art are somewhat abnormal, so if you hear them mumbling or something, just ignore them."

"Anyway, when you're in the classroom, just take care of yourself!"

"4. The last one, I heard it clearly!"

"Absolutely! Never go to the wrong class!"

"Remember, we are Class 2 of Group B. Our classroom is located on the first floor of Building B, between Class 1 and Class 3 of Group B. Before entering the classroom, you must look up at the door number first, and then open the door and go in when the door number matches."

"If the house number is wrong..." The head teacher paused, groaned, and continued:

"Remember, if the house number is wrong, you must have read it wrong!"

"At this time, please turn your back to the door number and tell yourself that you are a student in Class 2, Group B. Then turn around and look at the door number. If the door number is correct, go in. If not, keep repeating this step until you get it right."

When he said this, many students in the class looked puzzled. The head teacher gritted his teeth and tried to keep his tone stern:

"You find it incomprehensible again, don't you?"

"Remember what I said at the beginning. I will emphasize it to you one last time now!"

"Don't think about why you do this, just do it!"

"Do you understand?" The head teacher's eyes were sharp, like an irritable instructor who was gradually losing his patience.

"I understand..." Responses came one after another in the circular tiered classroom.

"Did you understand?!" Seeing that the student's answer was weak, the head teacher just raised his voice and greeted him.

This sound scared the students so much that they all sat up straight.

"I understand!" Wei Liang was startled and shouted loudly.

This roar actually had a kind of domineering aura. "I understand!" The students quickly followed this domineering aura.

"Come and sign in if you understand!" The head teacher slammed the folder on the podium, and then took out a list from it.

"Those whose names I call, please come to me to verify your name and student number! Song Rentou..."

The head teacher began to call the roll.

Wei Liang shrank his neck, moved closer to Lin Yi, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Old Lin, what do you understand?"

Lin Yi looked at him speechlessly and blankly.

"Why are you yelling so loudly if you don't know anything?"

So he said: "This is a long story..."

"Hey, let's make it short!" Wei Liang said bluntly.

"..." Lin Yi's tone stagnated for a moment, "Sign in first, and I'll talk to you later after I sort it out according to a few rules."

Wei Liang gave a thumbs up: "You are really good at this!"

The head teacher continued to call the roll:
"Wei Liang..."

"Bai Fangshuo..."

“Lin Yi…”

When Lin Yi heard his name, he narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and then slowly left his seat.

Seeing Lin Yi in deep thought, Wei Liang couldn't help but ask with concern: "Old Lin, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"

"It's okay." Lin Yi shook his head slightly.

When the head teacher entered the classroom, Lin Yi felt that something was wrong with her, but what she did next did not seem suspicious at all.

Lin Yi has been observing from that time until now and has not found any problems.

Finally, after Wei Liang signed in, it was Lin Yi's turn.

Lin Yi first looked at the head teacher's name tag again with a casual glance.

Then he suddenly realized that the head teacher had called him several times, but the classmate named Bai Fangshuo never showed up.

"That Bai Fangshuo... is he one of the students who disappeared?"

"Lin Yi, report your student number." The head teacher's voice sounded in his ears.

"Uh...X0230506098."

The head teacher nodded and put a check mark behind his name.

Lin Yi took a quick look and found that there was also a hook behind Wei Liang's name, while Bai Fangshuo's name... had a line drawn underneath it.

The homeroom teacher's list has crosses and ticks, followed by underlines.

"What does this signature mark mean?" He was cautious.

After calling out Lin Yi's name, the head teacher called out a few more names, then put away the list and left the classroom.

When she turned around and left the classroom, Lin Yi discovered that her steps seemed unsteady.

It's not the unstable feeling that comes from wearing high heels, but the unstable feeling as if you sprained your ankle or strained a muscle.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, and then just as she was about to leave the classroom, he suddenly called her from behind:

"teacher."

The head teacher seemed to be distracted, and Lin Yi's call woke her up unexpectedly like a pebble.

Her body subconsciously tensed up, and then she turned her head sharply.

"I've made myself clear, what else do you want to say?!" she asked sternly.

……

The morning light shone into the classroom through the door. The head teacher looked back in the light, and there was only a figure against the light.

However, it was this glance back that made Lin Yi's eyes meet hers.

Those were a pair of golden eyes, like the Hawkeyes in the comics, but also seemed to be cast in gold, with a hint of weirdness in their brilliance.

The morning light seemed to be much dimmer, and the only thing left in Lin Yi's vision was this pair of golden eyes!

His eyes immediately felt a strong stinging sensation, and he subconsciously wanted to turn his head and close his eyes, but he forced himself not to show any abnormality, and instead gritted his teeth and insisted, "Teacher... I want to ask, are there any novels on the bookshelf?"

"Novel?" The head teacher's stern look slowly faded away, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she did not expect Lin Yi to ask such a question.

"As for novels, I'm not sure...Are there no copies of these novels on all these bookshelves?"

Lin Yi noticed that the red-gold color in the head teacher's eyes was slowly disappearing and eventually turned into normal black eyes.

He quickly said, "Uh... maybe I didn't pay attention. I'll look for it again."

The head teacher nodded slightly and said, "Novels are indeed a good choice. I will report your questions to the school and try to prepare some novels."

After saying that, the head teacher left the classroom and closed the door.

As the classroom door closed, Lin Yi stumbled back a few steps, then fell heavily on a chair in the first row, supporting himself with the chair before slowly sitting down.

"Oh my god, Old Lin, what's wrong with you?" Wei Liang was startled and hurried over to help Lin Yi. "You have kidney deficiency after just staying up all night?"

Lin Yi closed his eyes and pressed his eye sockets repeatedly until tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. His eyes were still filled with the image of his head teacher's pair of golden eagle eyes.

"Those eyes... they don't look like something a human should have!"

No! If you must say, it’s not like Lin Yi hasn’t seen it before!
Those eyes...

A figure emerged in Lin Yi's mind—a figure as tall as an iron tower with an iron chain around his waist!

"Those eyes...are almost identical to the security guard's!"

"What kind of eyes are those?!"

After rubbing his eyes for a while, Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes and felt much better.

Wei Liang said with concern: "Lao Lin, Lao Lin, you have such a weak kidney. Let's stay up less late in the next few days!"

Lin Yi didn't really listen to Wei Liang's words. After he opened his eyes, his attention was focused on the bulletin board next to the blackboard.

He then stood up with the help of Wei Liang, and then propped himself up and walked towards the notice board.

He wants to see the class schedule.
