Chapter 247 A strange feeling of familiarity
Chapter 247 A strange feeling of familiarity
There was no one in the lecture hall!
Lin Yike still remembers that there were 5 people in the classroom on May 8. Since there were no sports students at night, he counted the number during the day. At that time, there were 90 sports students. After dinner, there were 18 experience students including him and Wei Liang, and 34 pseudo-human students.
In this statistics, Li Huiyuan is no longer included.
During the evening roll call, eight people with high inspiration were called by their homeroom teacher -8 and went to the dormitory building.
These eight people included him, Wei Liang, Shan Nan, and... Song Rentou. He couldn't remember the remaining four. He vaguely remembered that one of them was called Liu Jingning, but his face didn't match.
Because after the head teacher finished calling the roll at 040, not everyone left the line, and several people went back to the dormitory with the experience students.
That day, in addition to the eight people whose names were called, four other people followed them back to the dormitory.
In other words, there is no way to match eight names to twelve people.
Twelve of the thirty-four students left the classroom, leaving only twenty-two...
But now, there is none at all!
"Did we get wiped out?" Such a scary thought popped up in Lin Yi's mind.
Under the influence of "He-I", the pseudo-human's range of activities is limited, but this does not mean that the experience students are absolutely safe. After witnessing the horror of the Laughing Angel and the disgusting crowd of nocturnal people, Lin Yi would not find it strange even if all the experience students in the classroom were killed.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly felt a little frightened. Has he become such a numb person?
The thought "It wouldn't be strange even if they all died" actually popped up in my mind!
"this……?"
"Could it be that... a disaster really changes a person's worldview?"
Lin Yi never thought of himself as a person who was indifferent to life, until... he found that he had inadvertently expressed his indifference to life.
He felt a little scared, as if he had somehow become something different from himself...
But think about it again, why do I have the thought that “I am no longer myself”?
What were you like before?
Just as he was thinking this, Wei Liang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lao Lin, what are you daydreaming about?"
Being asked to think, Lin Yi's body shuddered and he suddenly came back to his senses: "Ah? Oh! Nothing, I was distracted..."
After calming down, he changed his mind and thought that maybe it might not be as dark as he thought. It was already past 8 o'clock and maybe those people would go to the cafeteria to have breakfast as soon as the time came. He would have to wait a while to know what the situation was.
He walked up to the podium, and then began to look at the chest of the head teacher -040 from a distance, trying to observe the head teacher's name tag.
But just like yesterday, the homeroom teacher-040 sat in a lazy posture, and the brand on his chest was barely visible and could not be seen clearly at all.
The head teacher-040 naturally knew what Lin Yi was thinking, so he adjusted his sitting posture, raised his head and chest, and showed his name badge.
Lin Yi finally felt at ease when he saw the white acrylic sign with a thorn wreath and the words "Class Teacher-B2-040" printed on it.
"Lin Yi, student number X0230506098." Lin Yi said, then stared at the blue folder next to the head teacher, wanting to see something in it.
Class teacher-040 opened the folder, found Lin Yi's name, and then put a check mark behind it.
Lin Yi focused his attention on the list. At a certain moment, he discovered that the movements of the head teacher-040 slowed down, and his eyes seemed to be focused, and what he saw gradually became clearer.
He found that his entry on the list had his name at the front, followed by his student number. The grid behind the student number was divided into two rows, with another row of grids in the middle, which seemed to represent the morning and evening of each day.
其中，他发现标有「5/6」的格子下方有一个“√”，「5/7」、「5/8」的上下两个格子都有“√”，而现在，班主任-040在「5/9」的上半边格子里打上了“√”。
The same thing happened with Wei Liang.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he simply scanned the symbols on other people's sides.
There are a total of four symbols in the entire list, namely "０", "√", "×", and "/".
But the "０" is on the student's name, not in the sign-in box, and the same goes for the "/". This symbol also removes the name.
“√” means that he who is alive can understand it, and “×” means that he who is not named can also understand it.
But he didn't know what "０" and "/" meant.
Because he found that the names of Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang were circled, he could roughly infer that this was the mark for sports students or those who stayed in school, but... he was not sure what kind of symbol it was for art students.
It is also impossible to determine whether the person who was eliminated was an art student or a fake person, or if there were other indications?
Because he found a lot of names that had been crossed out, and some of them had a line drawn under them. In addition, in the roll call sign-in boxes of these people, there were both "√" and "×". It looked very messy, just like the sign-in sheet of an ordinary school, where students sometimes come to class and sometimes don't.
But this is S City University, so this sign-in sheet must be very complicated.
He didn't have time to think too much, so he just wrote down some things.
"Okay, please find a seat and sit down first." After signing in, the head teacher-040 smiled gently.
"Okay, teacher..." Lin Yi responded, but did not leave. He reached into his pocket and touched the piece of paper that Song Ren threw.
There aren't many people in the classroom now, so this might be a good time to hand in the paper.
But just as he was about to take out the piece of paper, the classroom door was pushed open.
Those faces looked familiar. They seemed to be one of the other ten people who left the classroom and returned to the dormitory yesterday.
"Come here to sign in and tell me your name and student number." said the head teacher-040.
"Uh... Principal Hu Chuan, your student number is..." The man named Principal Hu Chuan looked at Lin Yi and Wei Liang warily, hesitating whether to wait and tell him.
"What's your student ID number? It's okay, you can report your student ID number, just don't take out your student ID card casually." The head teacher-040 saw Hu Chuanchang's concerns and said.
So Director Hu Chuan said, "Okay, my student number is X0230507044." Lin Yi glanced at him and a thought popped up in his mind - "Is he from Li Huiyuan's batch?"
Li Huiyuan's student number is X0230507046, and Hu Chuanchang's is 0507044. They entered the office of Class 2, Group B almost at the same time.
After the head teacher-040 marked "√", before Lin Yi could think about whether to take out the paper again at this time, another person came in, opened the door of the classroom, and walked to the podium to sign in.
Lin Yi sighed quietly, thinking that it seemed there was no chance, so he should go back and sit down.
So he followed Hu Chuanchang down the podium, but just as he turned around, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"Teacher, I am Song Rentou."
Lin Yi's footsteps paused slightly. At this moment his mind was buzzing and many thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind.
He made a temporary plan at the speed of light!
"Liangzi, I'm going to the restroom. You go back to your seat first." He said this to Wei Liang, then turned around and went back to cover up the possibility that his pause would attract Song Rentou's attention.
Wei Liang opened his mouth and was about to say that he had gone to the gym before leaving the dormitory, and now he was going again. However, he noticed something and did not say anything. He just nodded and went up the stairs.
Wei Liang's reaction surprised Lin Yi a little. According to Wei Liang's style, he would have said something like "Do you have frequent urination?" at this time. Of course, Lin Yi didn't have the mind to care about it.
He then pretended to let Wei Liang go first, but actually changed his seat to the back of the podium.
At this time, he heard Song Rentou reporting his student number: "...30503075."
He pretended to look at the pendulum clock on the blackboard, while his ears caught the sound of the head teacher-040 turning the pages. When the head teacher-040 started writing, he withdrew his gaze from the pendulum clock and casually scanned the list.
He did not look for Song Rentou's name on the list of names, but went back to the beginning and first locked onto the tip of the pen held by the homeroom teacher -040, and then looked backwards at Song Rentou's sign-in record.
After just one glance, he had memorized Song Rentou's name, student number, and sign-in record in his mind like a human printer.
Then he passed behind Homeroom Teacher-040 and continued to move his gaze nonchalantly toward the classroom door.
During this process, he quickly memorized Song Rentou's physical characteristics.
However, when his eyes fell on Song Rentou, everything around him seemed to slow down...
An indescribable magical change silently occurred to Lin Yi. He felt as if the whole world had become much quieter, and the footsteps of Wei Liang and Hu Chuanchang seemed to be in slow motion...
There was a faint "clang, clang, clang" sound in his ears that only appeared in dreams, and his vision began to flicker and jump, as if it was extremely unstable...
At this time, his eyes fell on Song Rentou.
Song Rentou opened his clothes, revealing a hoodie underneath and a loose school uniform outside. His physique was slightly above average, and he looked somewhat similar to Lin Yi and Wei Liang.
But what caught Lin Yi's attention was that there seemed to be something wrong with Song Rentou's facial muscles. The muscles at the corners of his eyes and mouth would twitch from time to time, like symptoms of neurological blinking.
His school uniform was clean, but his inner clothes were a little dirty, as if he had never changed them.
What made Lin Yi feel weird was that when he saw Song Rentou's face, he was sure that he had never seen him before, but he felt a faint sense of familiarity!
However, if it is really "familiar", it is impossible to have no feeling when you look at it for the first time.
If it does seem somewhat "familiar", then... when have you seen it before?
At the same time, an even weirder scene appeared...
Lin Yi's vision flickered more and more frequently, and the "clang clang clang" sound in his ears became more and more urgent. When he looked at Song Rentou, the whole world seemed to become unstable, and the light and shadow seemed to begin to distort. He also seemed to see a distorted shadow behind Song Rentou...
It was a very pure black humanoid silhouette, like the silhouette of a black giant that could only be seen in the snowy mountains and fog, hazy and blurry, but the eye sockets emitted a pure white light like car headlights...
The black human figure twisted and swayed gently like seaweed, and the corners of its mouth faintly revealed a crescent-shaped arc that stretched all the way to its ears.
Its appearance seems to be accompanied by strong wind and sharp roar, making people feel as if they are in a storm.
Lin Yi's vision was still flickering rapidly, and his eyeballs were constantly shaking left and right, like a water ball about to break. Then his sight slid inadvertently and he saw the shadow behind Song Rentou...
Lin Yi's trembling eyeballs suddenly stopped beating when he saw the shadow, but his pupils condensed uncontrollably, and the whites of his eyes were filled with hideous bloodshot.
The shadow seemed to be frightened and instantly stopped its unnatural and strange swaying.
At this moment, light and shadow intertwined in Lin Yi's "horizon", and black and white lines filled his field of vision like an irregular and chaotic grid. Colorful colors filled every grid and kept exchanging positions. His "horizon" observed a huge flow of information that was either useless, temporarily unusable, or beyond cognition. They were as surging as a mudslide, as if they were going to penetrate into his brain through his "horizon"!
Lin Yi shook his head subconsciously and blinked his eyes again and again. At that moment, the shadow shrank back into Song Rentou's body like a nimble loach. At the same time, the rushing sound of wind that Lin Yi heard in his ears began to disappear rapidly, and the flickering vision suddenly returned.
He rubbed his dry eyes, Lin Yi brushed past Song Rentou, and walked towards the classroom door.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him and called him.
"classmate."
Lin Yi just stopped holding the door handle.
He knew that this was calling him.
It was the Song people who called him.
He then took a breath without leaving any trace, and then turned slowly.
During the period of turning around, a lot of thoughts flashed through his mind, but when he turned his face towards Song Ren, he already had an extremely natural and ordinary look of "doubt". His slightly curved eyebrows and slightly enlarged eyes seemed to be saying: Hey, is someone calling me?
The other party was indeed a Song Dynasty figure.
Song Rentou, who had just signed in, walked slowly from the podium towards Lin Yi. He looked at him unscrupulously, then frowned and said hesitantly, "My classmate, have we... met before somewhere?"
Thanks to the book friend "usjdnshhs" for the reward!!
It's the beginning of the month, please give me a monthly ticket~
