Chapter 159 Message on the Blackboard
Chapter 159 Message on the Blackboard
Although, when the two entered the classroom, some of the students in the classroom looked over subconsciously as before, Lin Yi felt that the classroom was filled with an atmosphere of impatience and anxiety.
Especially when Lin Yi slowly pushed open the door of the classroom and stepped into it, the feeling of the world dividing was transmitted to Lin Yi very clearly.
Lin Yi's ears began to ring with noisy quarrels. No, it cannot be said to be ringing. The quarrels were there, but the door of the classroom seemed to be blocked by a layer of invisible gauze.
Even though the sound was blocked out, Lin Yi's mind still felt the tension of the quarrel.
As he stepped over the threshold and entered the classroom, the originally isolated and anxious atmosphere gradually became clearer in his ears, giving him a dreamy feeling as if he had "stepped into a painting".
[Push open the door and enter the classroom], this simple operation, for him now, seems to make him feel the dividing line between spaces.
This strange feeling suddenly made him feel uncomfortable.
After entering the door, some of the students who were arguing in the classroom stopped and looked at them.
But these students just glanced at them and continued arguing.
A male student in casual clothes said confidently: "I think this idea is not feasible at all. We should try a better way!"
"Why don't you tell me a better way? Is it fun to always deny our opinions?"
Another student chimed in: "We can't delay any longer. Time is running out. We must take action immediately!"
This student must have returned to the dormitory to spend the night last night, because he changed into the school uniform distributed in the dormitory of S City University.
Another student who was also in school uniform echoed anxiously: "That's right, we have to go back to the dormitory now, we can't delay any longer!"
"No, we can't just walk around!" A male student retorted firmly, "We should report to the class teacher! Listen to the class teacher!"
"Damn it, we just went to find our homeroom teacher, but he ignored us!"
A classmate stood up, clenched his fist and said, "The sports students are the first to run away. Isn't it more dangerous for us to stay?"
"Athletes are athletes, and we are us! Maybe their rules are different from ours?"
"That's right. They all go through the 'other passage' when eating. Do you dare to go through the other passage? Zhou Yuting wants to go through the other passage. She hasn't even returned to the classroom yet!"
Another student protested, "But the fog outside is too thick. It already meets the rule in the student code that says 'In abnormal weather, seek shelter in the nearest building.' There's no need for us to break the rule and listen to others, right?"
"If we go out, we might get lost in the fog. But if we stay in the classroom, at least we have some warmth and shelter."
Another student still insisted: "We should trust our class teacher! She said she needs to think about it before answering us. If we wander around, we will be in danger!"
"The safest choice is to stay in the classroom and study hard all night!"
"Safety?"
"Pan Jiandu is dead, how can I be safe? I am safe, your mother!"
"I'm talking to you nicely, how dare you ask about my mom?"
"Stop arguing, stop arguing! Let's discuss this properly. If it doesn't work out, we can just go our separate ways!"
"Get lost! If we were going our separate ways, would we have to discuss this until now? Isn't it because it's too dangerous to act separately that we have to stick together?"
In the fierce arguments, everyone tried to defend their own opinions and try to convince others. Those who failed would mix in some words with a strong mother connotation, as if this would make their words more repressive.
However, it is not certain whether there is suppressive power, but there is definitely offensive power. Some students got red in the face and neck during the argument and tried to add some punches and kicks.
Their voices intertwined and argued endlessly.
There was a tense atmosphere in the classroom, and Lin Yi realized that they seemed to be making a decision: stay in the classroom overnight or leave.
When Lin Yi saw them arguing fiercely, he understood one thing - after questioning Pan Jian's companions and the recent events, these students had accepted the campus and began to discuss within the scope permitted by the rules.
While they were arguing, their eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked in a certain direction in the classroom. Lin Yi followed their gaze and immediately discovered the source of their heated discussion - the blackboard.
A blackboard with a lot of words written on it.
"Lin Yi...what is that?!" Li Huiyuan naturally also noticed the problem with the blackboard.
"Who wrote this message? Was it a sports student?" Lin Yi quickly glanced around the classroom and found that there was not a single sports student in the room.
He finally realized why he had that weird feeling when he entered the classroom—there were no sports students in the classroom, only experience students and some non-human classmates, so the atmosphere was very obscure.
Especially when he found out that his non-human classmate was actually a sculpture, this closed and dull environment made him feel even more uncomfortable.
A classroom without physical education students is like a huge multi-story animal cage.
Those inhuman classmates huddled in their seats, like wild beasts crouching in the outermost circle of a cage, scanning the unaware lambs in the classroom with greedy and crazy eyes.
It was like a bat curled up on the top of a cave, watching the people walking in the cave through the darkness. At the slightest opportunity, it would kill them all.
The sports students were like open flames that could drive away wild beasts, intimidating the inhuman classmates in the darkness. But now the sports students were not here, and there was not even an art student in Class 2 of Group B, so it directly became a huge octagonal cage where ferocious beasts lurked.
Moreover, even if there are really art students here, according to the rules for art students, without the "call" from sports students, they can only watch from the sidelines.
He quickly closed the classroom door, then glanced at the pendulum clock above the blackboard and confirmed that the time was just past 18:30. Then he helped Li Huiyuan slowly approach the blackboard and focused his attention on the words on the blackboard.
First there are two giant chalk words with oversized exclamation points:
【Escape quickly! ! ! 】
Here are some smaller chalk words:
[The storm is coming, and everyone who stays in the classroom will die! ]
[Leave the teaching building area and enter the dormitory area before it rains! ]
[Run away!!!] “‘Run away’?!” Li Huiyuan murmured after reading it, the shock rolling and hitting her chest, making her feel restless for a long time.
But Lin Yi's focus was not just on these. He moved closer to the blackboard and looked at the blackboard slot.
There was no chalk in the blackboard slot, no chalk on the podium, and not even a blackboard eraser.
He narrowed his eyes: "These words..."
"Li Huiyuan, look, what color are these words?" he suddenly asked.
"Uh... white, no, it's more green..." Li Huiyuan denied it repeatedly, "No, it's white, but it seems to be emitting green gas..."
"Sure enough..." Lin Yi frowned.
"What's wrong, Lin Yi?" Li Huiyuan asked puzzled.
Lin Yi pondered and said, "It is not certain whether these words were written by a gym student, but... they are not written in chalk, but in plaster, written with the blood of nocturnal species or heavy polluters."
"After writing, they were illuminated by the light, and the pollution was gradually dissipated, leaving behind a white plaster-like body. The remaining pollution still did not completely dissipate, but turned into a green aura, dissipating bit by bit."
Lin Yi expressed his own inference.
"so……"
"So are we going to run away?" Li Huiyuan asked.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly: "No, so the first thing we need to confirm is... who left these words."
"Is it a clue left by the athlete, or... an evil trap set by someone else?"
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Li Huiyuan couldn't help but shudder. She had not considered this at all. She had always subconsciously believed that what others said must be the correct clue, and ignored the identity of the source of the information and whether the authenticity of its content was reliable!
Lin Yi pondered and said, "On campus, we can only follow the rules that match our identities. We need to remain vigilant about all other information, even if it seems very credible."
For example, if the code says, "Trust so-and-so unconditionally," then the information attached to it is credible.
But for other information, you need to carefully identify it yourself.
Some information is summarized by others based on their own experience. Even if the other party has good intentions, this information may not be correct for you.
This is actually what Lin Yi did on the day he entered the school. Although he was "briefly" criticized by Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang at the time, later facts proved that his approach was the most correct for him at that time.
As for the words of the sports students, he chose to believe them only after screening. If the message on the blackboard was left by Xu Shunkang and others, then the credibility would be very high.
In other words, if it was a trap deliberately set by other evil units based on the abnormal weather, it would be easy to lure them out of the classroom by taking advantage of the psychological suggestion of danger brought about by the abnormal weather and the insecurity of the classroom the night before.
Leaving the teaching building rashly is indeed a very risky move.
It is even very likely that you will lose your life on the spot. After all, if heavy fog is used as the boundary between normal weather and abnormal weather, then this boundary is very vague.
Therefore, the arguments that those who experience life argue with reason are not without reason.
The only thing that is certain is that rainy days are definitely abnormal weather, but a lighted classroom is a safe place according to the student code of conduct. Even if the lights are out, you can squat under the table and stare at the table legs to save your life.
In addition, the student code of conduct also requires them to seek shelter in the nearest building in abnormal weather, and the teaching building is the nearest building, so it is understandable that they choose not to leave.
Lin Yi immediately understood the point of contention among the students, then turned around from the blackboard and stood on the podium, having a clear view of the situation in the lecture hall.
In the classroom now, including him, Wei Liang and Li Huiyuan, there are only 70 units in total, of which 32 are experience students, and the remaining 38 units are all non-human units.
Among these inhuman units, 20 had dull expressions, 18 had their eyes wide open, their mouths stretched to their ears, and they were as stiff as perverted clowns.
Despite this, their pupils are all dilated, and you can feel their gazes drifting, but you can't tell who they are looking at. However, as long as you see their faces, you will have a feeling of horror, absurdity and weirdness.
At noon, there were 90 people in the classroom, including 34 experience students, 18 sports students and 38 non-human units...
And now, none of the 18 sports students have returned to the classroom, so it is very likely that they left the information on the blackboard before evacuating.
But "it's very likely" and "that's the message they left behind" are different.
In such a critical situation, almost everyone is walking on thin ice. Once a mistake is made, there will be no recovery. It is definitely right to be cautious.
Lin Yi scanned the classroom and finally found the number in his memory: "Two people are missing. According to what those students said, one of them seems to be named 'Zhou Yuting'."
Moreover, she should be the girl who begged the sports student to enter other passages during dinner - Pan Jian's companion.
Lin Yi sighed. The girl named Zhou Yuting had been acting weird ever since she witnessed Pan Jian's death, and her mental state had gradually become insane.
He still remembered that the last time he saw Zhou Yuting, she was obviously on the verge of collapse. Now the fog was rising outside and she had not returned to the classroom. Given her mental state, she was basically doomed.
Zhou Yuting didn't make it through the day, which was only expected by him.
"And the other missing person..." Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "is that middle-aged uncle."
Among the new people who came this afternoon, the middle-aged experiencer, although low-key and almost without a sense of existence, left a very deep impression on Lin Yi. The reason for this was, of course, that the middle-aged experiencer was too old compared to the others. Mixed in with the others, he was too abrupt and it was impossible not to be noticed.
What puzzled Lin Yi was that when the middle-aged intern left the classroom, he took away all the things he had brought with him.
Most people would just bring someone with them when they went to the cafeteria to eat, but the middle-aged trainee left fully armed, especially his oversized mountaineering bag. Lin Yi felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it. He had a sense that the middle-aged trainee was an ace agent who had popped out of nowhere and would take out some strange parts from his bag at any time and piece together an RPG...
The reason why the remaining 29 experience students in the classroom were able to come back was that they all escaped when the lights in the cafeteria flashed. At that time, the fog had not yet risen and the sun had not yet set, so it was reasonable for them to be able to return to the classroom safely.
He helped Li Huiyuan down from the podium and began to walk towards Wei Liang, who was sitting in the back row of the classroom studying an H comic. But on the way there, he deliberately went down from the other side of the podium and chose a route that would pass through the noisy area.
Thanks to the book friend "琳skylark" for the reward! !
