Chapter 66 Dormitory Building (1200 words added!)
X023年5月7日，19:45。
There was a great deal of noise in the classroom of Class 2, Group B. The new students were completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem and were still laughing and chatting there.
Lin Yi didn't know if they had problems with their attention span, but they all seemed to have ignored the thirty-eight students who were not quite right.
He simply scanned the classroom, and under the light of the incandescent lamp, he scanned the faces of the thirty-eight students who seemed a little abnormal.
"Hmm...any changes?"
Among these thirty-eight students who were acting strange, if he remembered correctly, sixteen of them had crazy looks on their faces, staring at the other students in the classroom with wide eyes.
The remaining twenty-two people had empty and distracted eyes, curled up in their seats like hermit crabs, without even blinking, as if they were a still, lifeless, cold stone.
But today he found that the number of students with empty eyes and abnormality increased from twenty-two to twenty-five, while the number of students with crazy expressions and abnormality decreased by three.
In other words, three students with crazy expressions turned into students with empty eyes.
"It should be related to the depth of the 'pollution'... I don't know whether the pollution has become worse or lighter." Lin Yi murmured in his heart.
He looked at the other students again.
There are currently forty normal students in the class, including him and Wei Liang.
Among the remaining thirty-eight normal students (experienced students), thirteen of them had arrived earlier than him and now they were somewhat numb, as if they had sealed themselves in their own little world.
Like pseudo-autistic people, they build high walls with books, arm themselves within the walls, and ignore what's happening in the outside world.
Looking at them, Lin Yi felt that they should have noticed something wrong, but they were somewhat self-doubting due to lack of inspiration.
But sometimes they are more sensitive to the slightest disturbance, so much so that they become suspicious and dazed, and can only build high walls psychologically.
They seemed to have listened to the opinions of the sports students and given up all thinking. They also seemed to have listened to the opinions of the head teacher and did not communicate with anyone, not caring about any external movements - they followed these opinions blindly, regardless of the occasion, and extremely, even if there was nothing wrong with the incandescent light bulbs in the classroom.
There is no abnormality seen in the remaining 25 new trainees for the time being.
Finally, there were 18 sports students including Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang.
Lin Yi did not pay attention to what they were wearing yesterday, nor did he count their number, so now he could not tell whether their number had increased or decreased.
But he found that the sports students were sitting very close to the windows in the classroom.
Not the windows on the corridor side, but the windows on the other side.
They gathered together to chat, their eyes occasionally scanning the classroom, as if they were discussing something related to their classmates.
When they noticed Lin Yi was looking at them, they said nothing.
But Lin Yi discovered that they paid more attention to the weather changes outside than anyone else, and glanced out the window from time to time.
Apart from this, there is no apparent difference in their behavioral tendencies from other people.
He just glanced at it briefly and then returned to his seat.
It wasn't until he returned to his seat that Wei Liang noticed his arrival.
"Hey, you're back?" Wei Liang put down the comic book at hand, glanced at the pendulum clock on the wall, and said with a smile, "Half an hour, it's not short at all."
"..." Lin Yi frowned and said angrily, "Liangzi, can you be normal once in a while?"
Wei Liang spread his hands and said helplessly: "Please, I have always been the normal person. But you, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sad and worried?"
"Let me guess, she doesn't like your style? Was your confession rejected?"
Lin Yi's mind was full of the teacher's expression and words when he spoke to him. He couldn't help but feel a little upset. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Hey, Liangzi, don't joke with me like this. I'm thinking about something!"
Wei Liang was slightly startled, then narrowed his eyes, tactfully put away his playful expression, and stopped talking about the class teacher. Instead, he said, "Okay, okay, let's think about it... But why don't you go back to the dormitory and think about it? We don't need this little bit of time now, so don't do anything weird."
Lin Yi was startled, then immediately understood what Wei Liang meant and nodded: "You're right, I was careless."
"These things are too complicated... Whether it's organizing my thoughts or really thinking about them, it's better to wait until we get back to the dormitory."
Wei Liang was surprised and asked, "Oh, you really don't want to?"
"I really don't want to." Lin Yi shook his head.
"Not like you." Wei Liang sneered.
Lin Yi did not answer. He silently picked up the small notebook on the table, then opened the chair and sat down.
"Huh, you've run out of it?" He raised the notebook.
"I just thought of something, so I wrote it down. Just a few words." Wei Liang said unhappily, "Do you think I'm writing an essay?"
"Oh...then you didn't translate what I wrote?" Lin Yi suddenly asked worriedly.
"I'll fuck you." Wei Liang said, "I don't want to know things that I shouldn't know."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "How do you know what I wrote?"
Wei Liang curled his lips: "How can I not know your stuff?"
"Okay..." Lin Yi scratched his head, and suddenly he thought of something and said, "By the way, our class teacher asked us to leave at 20:30."
Wei Liang was not surprised at all and said calmly: "That time is about right. According to my experience, no matter where you go, it is most reasonable to leave fifteen to thirty minutes in advance."
Lin Yi asked curiously: "Hey, is there any explanation?"
"Nothing to say." Wei Liang shook his head. "But it's useless to go too early! The dormitory is open from 21:00 to 22:00 at night. If you go too early, you have to wait, which is very boring."
"By the way, should we go check out the weather first?"
Lin Yi said: "I checked when I came in. The weather is fine. The fog is only slightly thicker than when we had dinner. Visibility is still OK."
"That's good." Wei Liang felt relieved and handed a few copies of "Ikki Tou X" to Lin Yi, "Then read for a while to kill time before leaving? I remember you read the third volume yesterday, I found the rest for you."
"Okay...ok." Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally took the copies of "Ikkito X".
But as he flipped through the pages again and again, he found that the comics that he had been able to immerse himself in yesterday now seemed boring.
Finally, he took out the little notebook again, turned to a new page, and wrote:
A nerve of steel is key to fighting pollution.
……
A heavy blow suddenly sounded, interrupting Lin Yi's rhythm of reading comics.
When he said he was reading comics, he actually really meant "reading comics" in the literal sense. He opened the comic and then stared at a certain part in it, lost in thought.
This method of trance does not actually require comics. Sometimes, using a calculus or English book can help you enter this state more quickly...
He looked at the lines in the book and thought about many things aimlessly - many things that had nothing to do with the campus.
His mind was almost blank. He was thinking about everything and nothing at the same time.
He was actually just daydreaming.
He was actually just thinking about his head teacher.
Until he was disturbed by the heavy sound of a blow, which brought his attention back.
"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"
Lin Yi looked up in confusion and looked in the direction of the sound. He was shocked to find that Xu Shunkang was slapping the table of the podium hard, as if trying to attract everyone's attention.
"Xu Shunkang?!" Lin Yi perked up and focused his attention immediately.
In his impression, Xu Shunkang is not the kind of person who seeks attention for the sake of publicity, so he must have his own plans for attracting other people's attention at this time.
The noise in the classroom suddenly disappeared, and everyone's attention shifted to Xu Shunkang.
Seeing that the classroom had quieted down, Xu Shunkang quickly said, "Students, please listen to me! The fog outside is getting thicker, please leave the classroom now and go to the dormitory!"
"Wow—"
As soon as these words were spoken, those dull normal students raised their heads one after another. When they saw that the person speaking on the podium was a sports student wearing a blue and white sportswear, some fluctuations suddenly appeared in their originally dull eyes.
But some of the freshmen sneered out of nowhere, and then continued chatting in groups of three or four.
Xu Shunkang saw all the situations. He sneered, then turned his head to look at the pendulum clock hanging high above the blackboard on the podium, and continued:
"I will only say this once. It is now 20:15. You have 15 minutes to leave the classroom."
"At 20:30, we sports students will leave the classroom and go to the dormitory on time... You'd better pray that you don't go with us."
After Xu Shunkang finished speaking, he glanced at the lecture hall, then left the podium and returned to the sports students. "Tsk!" Some of the freshmen who were fiddling with their phones smiled contemptuously and said, "Who are you? How can you give orders?"
"Oh, that's right! Why are you pretending?"
Some of the newcomers not only did not take Xu Shunkang's straightforward warning seriously, but also felt very unhappy, as if "Who do you think you are to teach us how to do things?"
But after the gym student finished speaking, the thirteen students who had arrived early all left their seats, packed up their things, walked down the stairs, opened the door and walked out of the classroom.
"Let's go too." Lin Yi decisively put away the notebook, took out the backpack from his feet and put it on.
"Okay!" Wei Liang responded directly.
If it hadn't been so foggy yesterday that they couldn't leave the classroom, they would have gone back to the dormitory to sleep long ago and wouldn't have had to stay up until now.
After not sleeping for a day and a night, their bodies have passed the stage of being sleepy and entered a stage of being extremely excited.
This stage is actually very energy-consuming. Basically, you are in a magical state where you can last for a while without touching the bed, but as soon as you touch the bed, you will fall asleep.
The two of them packed up their things neatly and walked down the classroom immediately.
Among the twenty-five new experience students, some of them hesitated for a while, and then a few of them walked out one after another and chose to follow the advice of the sports students.
The girl dressed in pink and wearing a Lolita uniform, after obvious consideration, expressed her intention to go to the dormitory to the boys who had been surrounding her, but those boys seemed to reject her request.
The girl was obviously a little annoyed, so she called out to Lin Yi and Wei Liang when they passed by her.
"Um..." She said in a pinched voice, "Brother, can you help me carry my bag? I have a lot of bags..."
Lin Yi and Wei Liang both stopped and looked at her.
The girl seemed to be wearing a pink double-tail wig, and her face was obviously embarrassed. She rubbed her hands and explained apologetically: "My companions and I had some disagreements... They didn't want to stay in the dormitory overnight."
"So...excuse me, brothers, can you help me carry my bag?"
Lin Yi frowned slightly, looking at the girl's pitiful appearance, with an expression that seemed to be thinking about something.
The girl immediately showed a happy expression, and wanted to push the heaviest suitcase to Lin Yi.
But Lin Yi had no intention of taking over, and just said calmly: "Classmate, if you really want to go to the dormitory, you can leave some bags here and only take valuables."
"Hey!" Upon hearing this, the girl immediately put her hands on her hips in displeasure, made a cute and angry gesture in the style of the second dimension, and said, "But, these are my treasures, you can't keep any of the bags!"
"Brother~brother~just be my friend~"
Lin Yi didn't buy it at all. He glanced at his watch and said, "There are spare clothes in the dormitory. It's okay even if you don't bring anything. Don't waste your time in places like this. If you want to go, just go quickly." Then he turned around and walked down the steps of the classroom without hesitation.
"Wow, wow, wow...why is this happening?!"
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't buy it, the girl looked at Wei Liang pitifully again.
Wei Liang's eyes moved away from her beautiful legs in white stockings wearing pink square-toed leather shoes, and he praised her with a smile: "Hey, you don't understand, he likes black stockings, but I like white stockings, little Lolita."
The girl seemed to have foreseen Wei Liang coming down from heaven to help her check in a large pile of luggage. She couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face, and she acted as if she was about to jump for joy.
But...her prediction was wrong again.
Wei Liang didn't make any unnecessary movements at all.
In the girl's eyes, Wei Liang's next action was just like Lin Yi's cold and unromantic wooden block. He only expressed his high praise for her outfit with four simple words "nice stockings", and then turned around without any reluctance and caught up with Lin Yi, leaving her standing there with a stiff expression.
No...don’t you like little loli girls like me with white stockings?
You're just talking?
She was a mess on the spot.
……
May 023, X5, 7:20, Teaching Building B, down the stairs.
"Lao Lin, you slipped away so quickly and left me alone to her!" Wei Liang said indignantly.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly, "I thought you would help her and then drag me along to move the luggage."
"Are you serious?" Wei Liang said.
"It's fake. I guess you wouldn't help." Lin Yi said, "But I didn't expect you to not hesitate at all."
"What's so surprising about this? Please..." Wei Liang smiled contemptuously, showing his broad mind, "As a philanthropic person, how can I bow down for a mere piece of white silk? I read the Spring and Autumn Annals!"
"I think it's The Romance of the Spring and Autumn Period?"
"Hey~ Erotic history is not history? Don't be so narrow-minded, they are essentially the same!"
Lin Yi didn't say anything else, but observed the surrounding environment.
At 20:21, the campus was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
Under their feet was a cobblestone road with lit street lamps on both sides.
The bright yellow street lamps hung on the branches like lanterns, and the light they cast overlapped with the cobblestone road, paving a slightly warm path in the darkness.
It was pitch black behind the street lamp, and the outline of the mountain and the shadow of the green forest belt were obscured by the light of the street lamp.
Due to the lighting effect, after the naked eye captures the light, it is impossible to see the darkness beyond the light.
All that was left was the vaguely visible blue-gray sky on the horizon, standing at the end of the world like an ancient city wall.
The ethereal white mist spread out wantonly from the darkness behind the lamppost, rolling along the cobblestones and gradually submerging the insteps of Lin Yi and Wei Liang.
The fog today was indeed much thinner than yesterday. Through the orange light, Lin Yi could vaguely see figures walking on the road, heading towards the dormitory building.
We walked like this for thirteen minutes.
When Lin Yi took a certain step, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a strange feeling gently spread over his body like a curtain of water.
He glanced behind him as if he had sensed something.
The corner of his eye twitched violently.
"The teaching building...is gone!"
He glanced again at the lamppost beside him.
Dormitory building-087.
"As expected, we have entered the dormitory building!"
"The area where the dormitory building is located is also an independent space!"
He slowly narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. This discovery, unsurprisingly, once again confirmed his inference: every building on the campus was in an independent space.
Just as he withdrew his gaze from the lamppost and looked at the road ahead, an intense sense of oppression that could not be expressed in words suddenly appeared in the darkness and thin fog at the end of the road!
Between the dim and intertwined light and shadow, a dark wave seemed to appear, covering the sky and the sun.
Lin Yi's pupils slowly dilated, his sight seemed to penetrate the darkness, and his soul seemed to reach the end of the road before his body.
He saw an indescribably huge building.
It stands like an ancient stone tablet between the mottled and blurred light and shadow. Endless white mist entangles its outline, and the icy wind and frost corrode its surface. It looks drowsy, desolate, ancient, distant, deep, terrifying, and cold... Countless auras entangled together and wrapped around its body.
There it stands.
Right in front of Lin Yi.
The distant moon seems to be right behind it.
In the chaos, it is like a standing god.
"Dormitory... building?"
These words inexplicably emerged in Lin Yi's mind.
"It's not you, wait..."
“This is… a dormitory building?!”
