Chapter 414 is about ashes
Chapter 414 is about "Ashes"
"'who is he'?"
Who else could it be? The ones who entered the school on the evening of May 5th were him and Liangzi, who else could it be?
He just didn't expect that the head teacher would doubt him as soon as they met...
"I never doubted my purity, but I didn't expect that others would doubt it..."
……
"X023.5.7, in the last moments, things seem to have taken a new turn... Last night, the 'Angel' entered the classroom, seemingly looking for something... Since the investigation of the 'Angel' and the 'Ashes', this is the first time that the 'Angel' has entered the classroom. Could it be for something left behind by Yuan Datou?"
"But if that's the case, why was there no movement in the past few months?"
"The two new students who entered the school yesterday evening, are they related to them?"
……
"X023.5.7, additional progress...Only five people who entered the school yesterday successfully entered the teaching building. They were indeed let in on purpose, but from what I saw, they seemed to know nothing about it. Could it be that they are the official ones?"
"My pollution has exceeded the threshold. I have to leave tonight..."
"The follow-up investigation is now left to you..."
“People will remember our dedication and sacrifice.”
"——"Homeroom Teacher-B2-039""
"X023.5.7"
……
"X023.5.7, ...Lin..."
The word was erased as soon as it was written, but from the blurred strokes, Lin Yi vaguely judged that the head teacher wanted to write his name at first, and when writing on this paper, the head teacher's handwriting was very sloppy, and it can be seen that the situation was very urgent.
Lin Yi understood that this should be what the head teacher left behind after meeting him. After writing the paper, the head teacher went to the art building.
"I didn't want to involve you, but you seem to have the aura of 'ash'... You are destined to be unable to escape this incident..."
"I will tell you everything I know from my investigation. If you are an official, I hope it will be helpful to you..."
"If you are not... I hope you can protect yourself..."
"After reading this, destroy this paper."
……
All the information ended here, with only a poster left. After Lin Yi unfolded the poster, he found that the size of the poster was as big as an A3 paper, and the content on it was actually a map of the campus.
There are many marked points on the map, and each marked point records information in words the size of rice grains.
These marked points are connected to each other with red lines, making it look like the clue summary board that famous detectives often hang on the wall to analyze incidents.
These locations are almost all the incidents that Homeroom Teacher-039 has investigated, mainly near the teaching building, and seem to be related to the range of her activities.
At this moment, Lin Yi smelled a hint of blood. He frowned slightly and looked in the direction where the smell came from.
"Teacher...?" He asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"
As soon as he said this, he felt something was wrong. Would this "wake up the new head teacher"? What if Head Teacher 040 accidentally fell asleep after going behind the bookshelf?
But he felt that was impossible, because the homeroom teacher-040 had just said that he had something to say to him after reading the message, so he should just be going to treat the wound, right?
But now it seems that something unexpected has happened?
"I'm fine..." With a somewhat weak voice, the homeroom teacher-040 slowly walked out from behind the bookshelf.
At this moment, she had changed into a loose set of pajamas, but Lin Yi could not clearly sense her presence.
"You're still wearing that outfit? Didn't you treat your wound properly?"
Class teacher-040 gritted his teeth and said, "This is not something you need to worry about."
"The previous teacher increased the pollution level little by little in this way. If you are still stubborn, just ignore what I said." Lin Yi shook his head slightly.
The homeroom teacher-040 glared at him and said, "You are the one who caused the injury."
Lin Yi staggered and quickly argued: "Wow, no way? You were clearly injured from the beginning."
He quickly threw away some of the responsibility, because judging from the magical tights of Homeroom Teacher-040, if there was no damage at all, it should have absolutely blocked perception and would not be sensed by him intermittently. Those moments that he sensed must have been because the area on the hand was torn along with the uniform.
Of course, to be honest, he hit her pretty hard. At that time, he didn't know that the other party was the class teacher -040, and he targeted the vital parts - after all, it was a life-and-death fight, and the other party had "opened his heart" to him, so he couldn't just stop there, right?
"Thanks to you, it makes things worse." Homeroom Teacher-040 snorted coldly.
Lin Yi quickly said, "Can I help you take a look? This isn't a solution, is it?"
The head teacher-040 shook his head slightly: "What's the point of you seeing it? You are not the school doctor."
"Is it that in the entire campus, only the school doctor can treat injuries?" Lin Yi asked puzzledly. Why did the specifications of this campus sound so NPC-like? Can't we treat ourselves?
Or is it that... Homeroom Teacher-040 is too badly injured?
"My current injury should be treated by the school doctor only." said the homeroom teacher-040.
"How about... let me help you take a look first?" Lin Yi pointed at himself. He was not sure if he had the ability to "heal", but thinking that the sky blue breath of the Sports Department could regenerate the body, and his use of the sky blue breath had been greatly improved in a night of devilish practice, maybe he could really help the class teacher-040.
Besides, I can repair a city wall, so how can I not repair a beautiful body?
Wait…why should I add an adjective to class teacher-040?
Ami tofu, Ami tofu...
Upon hearing this, the homeroom teacher-040 hesitated for a moment. She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she saw Lin Yi's perfect body that had recovered as if he had been reborn, and thought about the impact that her current condition would bring, her thoughts couldn't help but waver.
She glanced at the sky outside and then at the pendulum clock on the wall.
"Sure...but we have to wait until dawn."
"Dawn?" Lin Yi was slightly startled, and immediately realized that the head teacher-040 had not let down his guard against him, so he nodded and said, "Okay." He then glanced at the pendulum clock and then at his watch.
The time is surprisingly consistent, both are 6:03...
"It's already 6 o'clock...it will be dawn soon." Lin Yi sighed subconsciously.
Before I knew it, it was already past 6 o'clock. At this time, Mr. Tian and the others in the dormitory should have gotten up, right?
The cafeteria seems to be open too...
canteen……?
By the way, I have to go to the store and give Lao Mo's heart to the store owner. In that way, maybe I can get some new clues, and I can also ask the store owner about the "ashes"...
After all, the canteen owner actually destroyed the existence of the "concept-level sculpture", and he confronted it head-on as soon as the "concept-level sculpture" entered the campus.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi nodded secretly.
He read the information over and over again, then collected the last piece of paper, put the rest of the information back into the dictionary intact, and then put the dictionary back to its original place.
He now understood that the reason why the head teacher asked him to get the dictionary was not because everything was reserved for him, but to give him a chance to understand the incident and let him have more preparation and choices.
He was suddenly moved. If the head teacher had been more selfish, she would not have given him such a choice. Perhaps, as she wrote at the beginning, the survival of mankind depends not only on the decisions of the top leaders, but sometimes also on some or a certain crucial "anchor role".
She may really hope that she can be that anchor role, and that what she does can influence the course of the entire event like a butterfly effect, thereby gaining more bargaining chips for humanity or China.
Lin Yi took a deep breath, and his respect for his homeroom teacher suddenly increased a lot.
"Have you finished reading it? Do you have anything to say?" Homeroom Teacher-040 looked at him and asked calmly.
Lin Yi was slightly stunned. He understood that those clues were originally left by Class Teacher 039 to Class Teacher 040, and he was the one who was excluded from the plan.
"What should I say?" Lin Yi asked back.
Teacher-040 pointed at the paper that Lin Yi put away and said, "I saw that paper too...Aren't you going to talk to me about Ashes?"
"As far as I know, that thing is not a living thing. Its existence is like an aurora or a mirage. It is impossible for a living thing to carry it... 039 was burned, so he sank step by step, but it seems that you are not... Are you really carrying the "ashes"? "
She stared at Lin Yi with burning eyes, as if she wanted to see the answer directly from Lin Yi's eyes.
Lin Yi wanted to say how miserable it was, the boss had already helped me eliminate the "ashes", but after going to the art building, I was forcibly filled up again by the alien angel that seemed to be a "snake nest" but clearly could not be a "snake nest".
There were many things he wanted to say in his heart, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he answered: "It seems that it is indeed a burden... But it's useless to ask me, because I don't know what's going on..."
He muttered quietly, "I just got infected by accident..."
Class teacher-040 glanced at him and said, "It's normal that you don't know. If you knew how to carry the "ashes", you must be in the laboratory instead of here."
"Although the entire alliance's research on the supernatural system is constantly improving, once the level is raised to a certain level, it becomes difficult to move forward, just like the technology tree is blocked."
Lin Yi looked at the head teacher-040 in surprise: "You seem to know a lot?"
"It can't be said to be 'I', but 'we' - the homeroom teacher." Homeroom Teacher-040 shrugged, but this action seemed to pull a wound on her chest, causing her to frown. "To be precise, every 'homeroom teacher' knows a lot. We are directly appointed by the government. Otherwise, why would the rules specifically state that 'the homeroom teacher can be absolutely trusted'?"
"I've also read 039's information, I know about the party disputes, and I'm clear about many of the factors... But, you can trust me according to the rules, but I can't trust you absolutely - unless you can produce something that's enough to make me trust you, such as an officially confirmed identity certificate. Otherwise, I can only trust you from a private perspective."
"I hope you can understand this."
"I think I can also express my trust in you from a 'personal perspective'." Lin Yi nodded very seriously.
The head teacher-040 couldn't help laughing: "You guy...Okay, tell me what you want to do?"
Lin Yi shook his head: "I don't know either, teacher... I mean the previous teacher, Teacher 039, she told me that after seeing the dictionary, I will know what to do next, but obviously, I am also confused now..."
"It's like a group of people have taken great pains to contract a fish pond. Now that the fry have grown up, they are ready to start fishing. But they found out that I was also fishing in the pond. Now, they might kill me... Is that what it means?"
Homeroom teacher-040 nodded.
Lin Yi said helplessly: "So this is ridiculous, do you understand? Because from the perspective of others, it is not a fish pond, but a public river, but those guys who want to get the "ashes" just drew a line and turned them into private property."
"039 guess you are an official." said the head teacher-040.
Lin Yi was speechless: "How come I don't know that I'm an official? If I were an official, and I was slacking off within the system, would I still need to come in for 30,000 yuan?"
"Thirty thousand... is a huge sum of money in today's society. It's not shabby at all to come in for thirty thousand yuan."
"So you came here for the thirty thousand?"
"I'm not." Class teacher-040 shook his head. "Only students who are on trial can get paid. Besides, I'm not that interested in money."
"This sentence seems familiar to me. You haven't touched money before, have you?"
"I haven't really touched it."
Lin Yi's mouth twitched again and again. He knew that this topic should be stopped: "Then Jack, no no, then teacher, have you made any new discoveries recently?"
He didn't want to be involved in the so-called Yuan Datou incident, so in order to keep a distance from those people, necessary understanding was necessary.
Homeroom Teacher 040 said, "To be honest, 039's guess was correct. Some details of the 70th Gray Fog Invasion were concealed. By the time the official knew about it, it was already a little too late, so they sent me here."
Lin Yi quickly thought of some doubts: "Why did Teacher 039 fail to apply for resignation, and why did you come here within a day after she left the teaching building? Information flows so quickly, why was she forced to go to the Art Building?"
Class teacher-040 said: "Because the application for resignation and the transfer to another department are not in the same functional system."
"Besides, the vacancy of the head teacher is a high-risk event, and the authorities have always handled it seriously."
Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but pursed his lips: "So Teacher 039 died just like that?"
