Chapter 434: Group B, Class 15, Another Strange Art Teacher
"Okay!" Li Huiyuan gritted her teeth and snorted, "But... don't be conceited!"
"Don't worry, I'll only make the most conservative choice." Lin Yi patted her hands and suddenly glanced at her mini baseball bat. "This baseball bat of yours... the style doesn't seem right... no wonder you didn't want to show it to me before."
When Li Huiyuan heard this, her pretty face turned red.
She had only been a sports student for two days. Even though she had good talent, she couldn't condense a proper baseball bat like other veteran sports students. It was already good enough that she could condense a short stick. However, the size and appearance of this baseball bat were somewhat misleading, like the name of a famous singer with the surname Gu, so she had never dared to show it to Lin Yi. But now Lin Yi saw it.
"Do you want to die?!" She gritted her teeth, squeezing out murderous words from between her teeth, and dismissed the bat in her hand, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will tell the boss that you ran naked in front of the class teacher and then tricked her into letting you wear someone else's clothes!"
"Ah?" Lin Yi staggered, thinking, holy shit, your rumor-mongering has a built-in lock, how can it be so accurate?
"Uh... I actually didn't see anything." Lin Yi quickly said seriously.
The corners of his mouth twitched violently. His original intention was actually to use a few words to divert Li Huiyuan's attention from these fanatics to himself, but he didn't expect that Li Huiyuan's weird woman's logic would suddenly play tricks on him, causing him to shoot himself in the foot unexpectedly.
He glanced at the time on his watch, then took Li Huiyuan's hand and slowly followed the fanatic's footsteps.
……
X023年5月10日,9:42,教学楼「禁忌区域B-5F」。
A thin white mist filled the entire corridor, and the mottled and peeling wall paint looked like pieces of rotten scales that seemed about to fall off at any time.
Lin Yi followed the fanatics past a teacher's office. He looked up and glanced at the doorplate.
"Teacher's Office (Group B Class 15)"
"This place used to be open, right?" Lin Yi asked.
The fanatic in front paused for a moment and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
"Can't you answer this?" Lin Yi asked again.
"You don't seem to understand." The fanatic slowly stopped moving forward and slowly turned around. His expression was cold, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth. His tone was extremely cold, "I said, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Lin Yi frowned and took a step forward, not giving the fanatic a chance to react. The sky-blue aura wrapped around his arms like an invisible wave. Then he spread his five fingers wide and grabbed the fanatic's head like a basketball, and slammed it hard against the wall of the classroom at hand.
“Bang!!”
The heavy impact caused the fanatic's head to be flattened a little, and a part of it was embedded in the wall, causing shocking cracks in the gray wall, and part of the wall paint even fell down with a rustling sound.
"You don't seem to understand the situation either..." Lin Yi's tone became much colder, "What should I ask? What I ask you are the questions that should be asked. If you can answer it, just say it. If you can't answer it, then don't answer it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"You...!!!" The fanatic was obviously still confused and didn't react for a while. He wanted to struggle, but found that Lin Yi seemed to be incredibly strong. That hand was like a hydraulic cylinder, pressing his head against the wall, and now he couldn't get his head down no matter what.
"Put me down and I'll tell you..." the fanatic said with difficulty.
Lin Yi let go of it, but suddenly felt unhappy again, so he grabbed its head and hit it against the wall, then let it go: "Go ahead."
There was still a look of confusion on the fanatic's face. You know, the experience students who came here by accident or were "invited" here usually looked timid and frightened when they saw him. This fueled his arrogance and made him unable to react to the image of Lin Yi, the harmless-looking college student with clear and stupid eyes.
By the time he realized something was wrong, Lin Yi had already hit him in the head twice...
The most important thing is that even though he was beaten, his companions beside him were unmoved and were so indifferent as if the incident had nothing to do with them.
This scene made him realize that these people didn't care about his life or death at all, and each of them was just following the orders of the "teacher".
The fanatic quickly said, "This place was built and was naturally in the operation section at the beginning... Then something happened... and it became what it is now..."
"I don't know exactly what happened. I only know it was a disaster, and it happened a long time ago, about 10 years ago... I don't know anything else..."
Lin Yi didn't expect that this fanatic was such a coward who would only give in to hardship and not softness, and he also noticed the reactions of those fanatics.
These fanatics didn't seem to mind their companion being beaten, but they would show emotional ups and downs if he walked a little slower.
Lin Yi speculated that these fanatics might have some kind of "mechanism". They have individual thoughts, but also common action goals. Only when the action goals are affected will they show collective behavior patterns.
He guessed that this goal might be to take him and Li Huiyuan to a certain place to meet someone.
Or this goal can be extended to a more macro level. These fanatics will leave a certain base, such as a classroom, every once in a while and go out on patrol. Then they will lock on to people who enter here for various reasons and use some means to take them to a certain place.
As long as these people are still heading towards their destination, it doesn't matter if they struggle a bit.
But if you show the intention to escape, they may take coercive measures.
And Lin Yi, through some actions, almost accurately verified the accuracy of his conjecture.
The good news is that he is now actually quite safe and he has time to get some information from this fanatic, whether it is true or false.
The bad news is that the crisis waiting for him and Li Huiyuan may be more serious than expected.
Come to think of it, he already missed Lao Mo a little. He missed Lao Mo's knife, and also missed Lao Mo's profound professionalism, the kind of skill that could make him rub light bulbs with his hands if he disagreed with something.
"Where are you taking us?" Lin Yi asked. "To find the teacher. Didn't I just say that? Uh, I mean... it's in the classroom in front." The fanatic realized that he had subconsciously become arrogant as soon as he opened his mouth, and then he touched his still flat head and immediately became a little timid.
Even the weird smile on the corner of his mouth looked a bit aggrieved, like a circus clown.
"Then what?" Lin Yi continued to ask.
"Then..." the fanatic said, and suddenly turned a corner like a ghost and floated into the classroom. "We are here. If you want to know anything else, just come in and you will know..."
"Damn it..." Lin Yi couldn't help but curse inwardly as he watched the fanatic running away. If he had known this would happen, he would have been more ruthless.
The door of the classroom in front of them was not closed at all and was still a short distance away from them. Lin Yi did not rush into the classroom, but observed the surrounding environment first.
The window glass of the classroom was covered with cracks, but it did not break, as if it had experienced some heavy blow but had survived.
"Is this the value of explosion-proof glass...?" Lin Yi had long felt that there was a reason for the design of explosion-proof glass, but it was not until this moment that he truly understood it.
After losing the fanatic, the fog around them seemed to gather a little. Every step Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan took raised fine dust. There seemed to be some fine and twisted cracks on the wall, as if something was trying to break out of the wall.
Arriving at the classroom door, Lin Yi first glanced at the door number - Class 15, Group B, and then he entered the classroom with Li Huiyuan.
When he stepped into the classroom, he did not feel the sensation of passing through a door. He guessed that this might be related to the fact that the door of the classroom was open. If he had turned the doorknob himself, perhaps the situation would have been different.
As soon as he entered the classroom, a pungent smell of decay immediately hit his face, making him frown subconsciously.
At the same time, a series of cold and hostile gazes seemed to be placed on his neck.
He did not continue to move forward, but stayed at the entrance of the classroom and followed those gazes back...
He quickly took in the general scene in the classroom.
The entire classroom was still designed as an auditorium, but the desks and chairs were in tatters, as if they had experienced a fierce and terrible battle.
However, this is all in the past. The desks are covered with thick dust, indicating that the dilapidated state of this place dates back several years or even more than a decade. Some of the books and papers scattered everywhere have turned yellow and brittle, as if they would turn into powder with the slightest touch.
There are still traces of chalk on the blackboard. The crooked handwriting seems to say that there was a class that had not been finished here before. At this moment, it seems more and more weird and distant.
The atmosphere in the classroom can be described as dim. Not only is there no light source, but it is also filled with a grayish-white fog similar to that outside the corridor. There is light outside the window, but the light needs to penetrate the thick fog like a quilt to reach the classroom. By the time it falls into the classroom, there are only a few sparse wisps.
The middle area of the lecture hall can be described as dark. It seems like an abyss that is so deep that one cannot see the horizon. It is the darkest area in the entire classroom.
An inappropriate thought suddenly popped up in Lin Yi's mind. He didn't know if it was because he had been influenced by Wei Liang for a long time and he had been tasting H comics too much recently, but he suddenly felt that the texture of this layer was a bit like stockings...
The area outside filled with white mist was like a thin white stocking in the real world. The deeper into the classroom one went, the thicker the stocking became, and then it turned into gray stockings, and then into black stockings. The middle of the tiered classroom was as if it was covered by a thick black stocking, like a robber's head, and nothing could be seen except the outline.
And throughout the lecture hall, there were all kinds of fanatics sitting there.
First of all, these fanatics all looked like "humans", but their clothes were different, just like the fanatics who surrounded him and Li Huiyuan. Some of them wore the same torn dark green uniforms as art students, some wore their own clothes, and some of the clothes were so tattered that it was impossible to tell what they were.
If Lin Yi hadn't changed his uniform in the teacher's office, his nude outfit wouldn't have looked out of place here.
It is very likely that at that time, he was exuding the aura of a fanatic.
At this moment, the fanatics looked at him with strong hostility. The few non-hostile gazes actually came from that black stocking... No, that middle area that seemed to be covered by thick black stockings.
The fanatic who had floated in like a ghost before was now standing under the podium, looking at him with a strange smile on his face.
Beside him, the podium stood alone.
On the table, there is a tattered globe. The color on the surface of the sphere has peeled off, and the longitude and latitude lines have become blurred. It is looming in the mist, as if it will break at any time.
There was also a female teacher sitting on the podium.
“Wait! It’s her…?!”
The moment he saw the female teacher, Lin Yi's pupils contracted sharply.
The female teacher in front of him was none other than the weird art teacher who came out to welcome the new students on the day he enrolled!
At the same time, there was also the weird art teacher who had an argument with Mu Daxian in the classroom, and later had one of her legs cut off by Mu Daxian on the stone bridge and fed to the nocturnal species.
And...it was last night, when he was on his way to the art building with Lao Mo, and he saw the strange female art teacher on the barren land before entering the Guihai Tide!
When he saw the weird art teacher, he suddenly realized that she had been looking at him for a long time, and he seemed to see the surprise in the weird teacher's eyes fading away.
"Teacher, we have captured two 'Lost Ones'." The fanatic rubbed his flattened head and said to the strange female teacher in a flattering manner.
In response to his flattering expression, the strange female teacher stood up from the stool behind the podium and did something...
She reached out and pushed the fanatic away, just like pushing away an onion that was in the way in the vegetable garden.
Then, she curved her eyebrows, and on her pale face, there was a strange smile that was a bit sinister. Her eyes, which were filled with a faint golden glow, stared at Lin Yi: "We meet again...classmate."
