Chapter 419 One More Person (Happy New Year Everyone!! 600 words more)
X023年5月10日，7:33，教学楼B栋，「B组2班」教师办公室。
Homeroom teacher 040 quickly finished his breakfast, wiped his lips with a tissue, and then said, "It's almost time. I'm going to the classroom. Have you finished eating? Oh, don't leave any tomato residue in my office. If there is any tomato juice dripping, you have to lick it clean for me."
Lin Yi shuddered, sat up straight, and licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue.
Homeroom teacher 040 tidied up his desk, picked up the sign-in folder and black pen, and prepared to leave.
Lin Yi quickly and obediently stood up from the sofa, intending to return to the classroom with the homeroom teacher-040.
Homeroom Teacher-040 suddenly thought of it.
"Wait for me here."
After saying that, she returned to the small room. After a while, she came out with a few clothes and threw them to Lin Yi.
"Put on some clothes. What do you look like?"
"Uh..." Lin Yi paused, but still decisively grabbed his clothes and walked towards the small room.
The head teacher-040 did not stop him. Two minutes later, Lin Yi, wearing casual clothes, came out.
The head teacher-040 glanced at him from head to toe, then nodded slightly and commented, "It's OK, it barely fits. I don't know which head teacher left it here. Try it on if you can."
"Oh, okay." Lin Yi nodded repeatedly. If the homeroom teacher-040 hadn't reminded him, he would have almost gotten used to his "naked" state.
There is no way. The disadvantage of being adaptable is that even Guo Ben can adapt easily.
Class teacher-040 pushed open the door of the office. The warm sunlight shone on her face. She looked a bit like a Korean heroine. She turned around and looked at Lin Yi: "You go first."
The look of Yangguang looking back and smiling made Lin Yi slightly startled. He quickly shook his head, put on his two bags, and left the office.
Homeroom teacher 040 followed closely behind and before leaving, she glanced at the time on the pendulum clock.
7: 38.
The time is just right.
After she closed the door, she reminded Lin Yi, "Don't open the door yet. Wait until 7:40."
Lin Yi nodded, knowing that the campus was very strict in controlling certain times.
Two minutes is actually a very short time.
But sometimes Lin Yi feels that every second is very long.
Losing the perception of time seems to be a sequelae of higher-level perception and dream-building.
Because when building dreams, the passage of time is nonlinear, like a plane that is constantly expanding. The deeper you go, the more the plane is stretched, and the time scale is relatively distorted.
When it comes to high-level perception, one will fall into "fields" such as bullet time and time stop, and the perception of time will be replaced by a stretched scale.
But now is a rare quiet time.
He bathed in the sunshine and looked at the direction where the sun was rising. He suddenly felt that the day was so beautiful and his body and mind seemed to relax.
He wanted to close his eyes and feel the warmth brought by the sun, but he was worried, so he had to look into the distance, watching the golden light scattered among the forest, and the waves looked like the ocean.
“Wow…wow…”
The wind blew through the leaves, and the fresh air was mixed with a faint smell of blood. It smelled so... huh?
The smell of blood...?!
Lin Yi was startled, his eyes focused, and soon he found the broken human-shaped sculpture in the green forest belt...
"Some of the fake classmates were beaten to pieces!" Lin Yi exclaimed subconsciously.
Class teacher-040 heard Lin Yi's exclamation and hurriedly urged in a low voice: "The time is almost up, are you going to enter the classroom? I know something about the sculpture."
Lin Yi didn't look away, but still said, "Okay, first call the roll and sign in, then we can talk about things."
He glanced at his watch. It was 7:40 and the evening study session was over.
Class Teacher-040 reached out for the door handle, but just as she pressed the door handle and before she could exert any force, the door was pulled open.
A pale, sleepy-eyed classmate appeared behind the door, trembling, and tried to walk out into the sun.
His lips kept trembling and he was mumbling something. The moment he opened the door, he saw his homeroom teacher -040. He immediately burst into tears like a wronged child and opened his arms to rush over to complain.
“Ghost… there is a ghost… teacher…”
The head teacher-040 obviously did not expect this, but she reacted very quickly, turned sideways and pushed Lin Yi's waist to meet him.
"Oh my god..." Lin Yi slapped the student's head and pushed him aside, saying helplessly, "That's so unfair, teacher..."
"Don't panic, classmate. Just get some sun and you'll be fine soon..." Lin Yi glanced at the classmate and comforted him. He took out a tomato and asked subconsciously, "By the way, do you want to eat a tomato to calm your nerves?"
As soon as he saw the tomato, the classmate jumped up from the ground as if he was given an injection of chicken blood, then hugged himself in fear, buried his head between his knees, and trembled while shouting words like "No, no, help!"
"Hey, are you hurting people?" The head teacher-040 elbowed Lin Yi and blamed him.
Lin Yi whispered, "He's mentally ill. I'll scare him. If I'm lucky, I can generate some adrenaline to save him. Then he'll come to you, which is in line with the way to leave the campus as stipulated in the Student Code. But I don't think he can be saved."
"Then you shouldn't have tricked him with tomatoes. Who can remain calm when seeing tomatoes?" The head teacher-040 glared at him.
Lin Yi smiled strangely: "Tomatoes? Where are the tomatoes?"
He moved his hands, but his palms were empty.
"That's why I say he's hopeless... When I tested him, he saw the non-existent tomatoes." Lin Yi glanced at the student and felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, "His spirit has overwhelmed him, and now he is in a state of panic."
"Ah..." Homeroom Teacher 040 looked at the curled-up student and sighed, "Forget it, let's go to the classroom and take roll call first."
"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded and followed him into the classroom. "By the way, teacher, there were no new students entering the school yesterday evening, right?"
"No." Class teacher 040 shook his head. "When abnormal weather comes, even if the driver delivers the trainee, he will not let him get off easily."
"Not good!" Lin Yi turned around abruptly to open the classroom door, then looked outside. The student who had been trembling with fear before had now disappeared.
"Fuck!" Lin Yi couldn't help but curse, "I got cheated!"
"What's going on?" Homeroom Teacher 040 hurriedly followed him out of the classroom. Seeing the empty corridor, he couldn't help but frown.
"Where is he...?"
"That person! He is not a student in our class!" Lin Yi's face was gloomy. "I was wondering why I felt he was weird just now. He has a strange temperament that I can't describe. And I am sure I remember the faces of everyone in the class, except him!"
"There was no new person in the class yesterday, so where did he come from?"
"Besides, he couldn't open the door himself. He only escaped after you pressed the door handle!"
When the head teacher-040 heard this, he couldn't help but say: "He is not a human!"
Lin Yi also subconsciously rubbed his arms: "I just felt that something was wrong with him, but I couldn't tell what was wrong... But because he was not afraid of the sun, I didn't suspect too much."
Whether or not you are afraid of the sun is the simplest basis for judging whether it is one of those strange creatures.
"It's really strange..." Class Teacher 040 looked serious. Suddenly she realized something and hurried back to the classroom. "Oh no! That guy has been in the classroom the whole time. Did anything happen to him last night?"
Lin Yi's expression froze when he heard this, and he hurried back into the classroom.
There are seven people in the classroom, all of them are experience students, both new and old.
Class teacher 040 walked up to the podium and knocked on the blackboard. When everyone had turned their eyes away from their books and looked at the blackboard, she cleared her throat and said, "Students, please pay attention. The evening study session is over. Please sign in one by one!"
"You go first." She said and looked at Lin Yi, "We still have to go through the necessary formalities."
Lin Yi nodded and walked up to sign in. Just as he was about to head to the seating area, the homeroom teacher-040 said in a voice that only he could hear: "Come to my office later."
"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned. "It's business!" She glared at Lin Yi.
"Ahhh, I didn't say anything indecent..." Lin Yi muttered softly, then stepped down from the podium and walked into the auditorium.
As he walked, he observed the other students in the classroom, and then in a hidden corner, he found the mountain man "Yuan Lijian".
"Huh? He's actually in the classroom?" Lin Yi was obviously a little surprised when he saw Shannan.
Because according to his understanding of Shannan, this guy is very restless at night. Last night, he left the class despite the abnormal weather, and it seems that he did not come back all night. No one knows what he did secretly.
But today he was actually in the classroom and didn't even go back to the dormitory.
At this moment, Shannan was still fiddling with his watch, as if the time could never be adjusted correctly. There were some small tools next to him, as if he had just assembled something.
He turned a deaf ear to the call of the class teacher-040, but when Lin Yi looked at him, he quickly sensed it, and then put down the tools and watch in his hands and looked at Lin Yi.
When he saw Lin Yi, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Then, to Lin Yi's surprise, he actually nodded slightly at Lin Yi, and then continued to fiddle with his small parts.
Shan Nan's strange behavior quickly aroused Lin Yi's vigilance, and also made the head teacher-040, who was calling the roll, narrow his eyes.
"What does he mean?" Lin Yi quickly became suspicious, and many thoughts suddenly surged into his mind.
Because Shannan was somewhat "illogical" in the classroom.
He is a highly polluted person, and it is extremely unsafe for him to stay in the classroom overnight.
And Shannan's appearance in the classroom at this moment means that he returned to the classroom before it was closed last night and has not left since then.
"No, no..." Lin Yi thought about the rules seriously.
[After 21:00, you are not allowed to leave the classroom. Please study on your own until 7:40 the next day. You can browse any book, but remember not to sleep in the classroom!]
"You are not allowed to leave after 21:, but you can enter the classroom..."
"No, I have to check the Yamao's sign-in record later!"
Because if Shannan was in a classroom where people were not allowed to leave or enter, then the extra student at the beginning was most likely the one who followed Shannan into the classroom at that time.
And with Shan Nan's alertness, it was impossible for him to let a sneaky thing follow him without any reaction.
With just a few changes of thought, he deduced that Shannan was related to the "extra classmate".
He silently found his way to the vicinity of his "old seat", sat down, and began to observe other classmates. There was nothing much to say about these classmates. To him, they had no special features. They were just regular passers-by NPCs, no different from the countless sculpture arrays in the green forest belt.
Lin Yi took out a notepad and wanted to write something, but found that he had no idea where to start.
There is too much he wants to write and too many taboos, so he needs to sort it out before he can start writing.
He rested his chin on the folding table with one hand, fiddling with a pen with the other hand, and casually recalled some things that happened yesterday.
His day is very fulfilling. It feels like he spends months' worth of time in one day. If he writes a diary, it might as well be a novel.
"Some things must be written down..."
For example, some things in the gym...
He flipped through the notes he had written previously. Some of them had lost their "timeliness", but some were profound, especially those newly written "code" phrases, such as "230509 Gray Fog Invasion", "1414030 Water Sound", "Ta-I, II, III"...
On the latest page of the notepad, it also reads:
"My watch appeared in my dream, and it kept accurate time. The security guard said time is a curse... I don't know if there is a connection."
"The visual insight seems to have evolved. I wonder if my world has been upgraded..."
“H-manga is very interesting.”
He thought about it and tried to revise it several times, but he didn't write anything.
Finally he turned the page, and thinking back to his experience in the gym, he began to extract key words:
"The school doctor is in the gymnasium." As soon as he finished writing, he thought of what the head teacher-040 said, so he wrote, "The school doctor is everywhere."
Just after writing this sentence, he looked at what he had written and felt an indescribable weird feeling.
I always feel that there are some logical problems with these two sentences...but, they are clearly correct.
"Forget it, just keep writing." Lin Yi laughed at himself. After all, he was writing it for himself, so why should he care so much?
If someone opens this notepad, we can only congratulate that person for having the good fortune to reach paradise first.
He continued, but only wrote key words:
"Physical education teacher...chains..."
He remembered that the security guard and the dormitory manager also had similar chains on their bodies, but the thickness was different, the security guard's was thicker and the dormitory manager's was thinner. He didn't know if there was any connection between the three, so he wrote "Security Guard +" and "Dormitory Manager -" next to the iron chains.
Then continue writing:
"The stadium... the city wall... the "Feast"..."
"Fanatical followers... Matrix... Raging Angels..."
"The road that doesn't exist... "Returning to the Sea"... "Forest of Corpses"..."
He pondered for a moment, then wrote "Starry Night" next to "Forest of Corpses", drew a circle, and typed a "?".
“The old kerosene lamp is an hourglass.”
"The Laughing Angel is the dormitory manager."
"Obsessive sculpture is an art student."
After writing these three sentences, he felt a little abstract, but it was just abstract.
"Teacher 039 became an art teacher."
"Bell Tower = Hall → Corridor → Exterior Wall → Corridor → Stairs → √"
After writing this sentence, he was about to write the next one, but he felt like he had forgotten something, so he repeatedly observed this sentence, and then he remembered that he had forgotten the gallery, so he quickly added it.
"It's really strange... How come I almost forgot about the gallery?" He pondered it for a while, unable to figure it out, but continued to record.
"The library looks like an ivory ball."
After writing this sentence, he thought about it. He clearly felt that there were many points that could be recorded in the library, but when he really started to write, he found that there was nothing good to record. It seemed that the impression given to him by the library was a super huge ivory ball.
Ultimately, it was because he had limited time and had not explored it properly.
As for the things returned to the campus, they seemed not worth mentioning.
Except, of course...
"I……"
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, not knowing what state of mind he was in, but he actually wrote stroke by stroke...
"Yes……"
"people……"
After writing the character "人", he had a strong urge to put a question mark in his heart, but he finally suppressed the thought, and then wrote a period with an extremely difficult way of holding the pen.
I am a human being
There are only three words and not many strokes, but it took him a long time to write them.
