Chapter 485 Four Newcomers
Chapter 485 Four Newcomers
However, when it comes to leaving campus early, the Student Guidelines do state:
【Please pay attention to your physical health. If you find yourself experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, etc. during school, please find the dormitory manager or class teacher before staying overnight. He will take you to the infirmary, and the school doctor will take you to the school gate. When you see the blue school bus (note that it is a blue school bus, please ignore other colors), get on the school bus immediately. The driver will take you out of the campus and end the experience.】
"Then... take me to the school infirmary." Shannan compromised a little.
"Under normal circumstances, it's fine." Homeroom Teacher-040 said, "I'm not lying to you. In abnormal weather, I can't leave the teaching building for myself. Protecting the students is my first order."
Seeing that the homeroom teacher-040 was so determined, Shan Nan gritted his teeth and said, "I will tell you some of the latest findings."
Class teacher-040 shook his head: "My investigation into historical events is just a personal matter, and personal matters cannot overshadow official matters."
Seeing that the homeroom teacher-040 looked unmoved, Shannan fell silent. The exoskeleton armor stood in the dim corridor, and the dark green photon stream flowed on the armor's luminous strip, making it feel like a mecha and full of oppression.
"Hu..." After a long while, Shan Nan let out a long breath, as if he had gone through a long mental struggle. He slowly said, "Forget it... I will find a way to leave the campus by myself, but before that, I will still tell you some of my findings. I hope it will be helpful to you."
Lin Yi pursed his lips: "How about I step aside for a while?"
“No need.” Homeroom Teacher-040 said, “You need to know anyway, so just listen to what he says, so I don’t have to repeat it.”
Shan Nan had no objection to this. It seemed that he had already noticed the relationship between Lin Yi and the homeroom teacher-040, and now he didn't have the time to care about it.
He then said, "There is a secretive force on campus. The exact number of people and purpose are unknown. I vaguely sensed the presence of one of them near the fanatics' matrix. I don't know his strength, but his concealment ability is unstoppable. I was busy doing my own thing and couldn't track him down."
Lin Yi's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat. Wasn't the man talking about Kuai Kuai?
"There is also an 'Ashe of Ashes' who was transformed from a girl. She is very powerful. My puppet is no match for her. I suspect she is also a member of that army, but she must have been killed by the 'real Apostle of Ashes'..."
The head teacher-040 glanced at Lin Yi secretly. This time she knew more clearly than Shan Nan. She knew that he was talking about Zhang Lingzhen.
Zhang Lingzhen is dead, but her will may still exist. After merging with the main consciousness of the "buried body", she became a member of the so-called "Hall of Valor".
Shan Nan continued, "There are limits to what I can do to assist you in your investigation... Time is running out, I should leave now."
After saying this, Shan Nan was about to turn around and leave, but the homeroom teacher-040 stopped him.
"Are you just going to leave like this? Have you got what you wanted?"
"I got it." Shan Nan looked at the homeroom teacher -040. His face could not be seen clearly under the shadow of the mask, but Lin Yi felt that there must be a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth. "You are also surprised, right?"
Homeroom Teacher-040 seemed to know that he would not succeed, so when faced with Shannan's question, he chose to remain silent.
The mountain man continued: "…but I succeeded."
A figure emerged in his mind. That guy saw through all his arrangements miraculously and changed his original plan with just a few words. It was because of this that he successfully used the fire man to extract a large piece of ash crystal.
According to the original plan, the amount he could extract would be very limited, and it would not be that pure, and even... more risky.
What Lin Yi wanted to know was that the purpose of Shan Nan constructing the Fire Man was to absorb the crystals of ash. Compared to the fanatics who stayed where they were and waited for the ash residues to fall, the Fire Man, as the "Apostle of Ashes", obviously possessed greater flexibility and combat effectiveness - he could even plunder the crystals condensed by the fanatics.
It is for this purpose that the fire man has been fighting to collect "ashes" in the area above the 5th floor of the teaching building. Compared with Zhang Lingzhen and Agui, it is obvious that it does not have the protection of the mountain man's will, but its underlying logic is extremely clear - collect ashes at all costs.
Therefore, its behavior is more pure, and it will rush towards the nearly invincible "Original Ash Apostle" in order to obtain the "Ashes", and be destroyed for this, but it also preserves the Ash Crystals - even hiding it from the "Original Ash Apostle".
When he thought about what he was going to do next, Shan Nan's voice became even colder: "Those greedy and delusional guys who eat people without spitting out bones, I know what they are doing, and I also know what they want to do, but I just want to become what they want to be, become what they fear, and then... go back for revenge!"
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. I've come this far. I can't choose to endure it just because of your few words..."
"The crime of exploitation must be paid with blood!"
After saying this in a low voice, Shan Nan walked into the rain without looking back.
"Hey!" Homeroom Teacher-040 spoke again.
The mountain man stopped, and heavy rain fell on the exoskeleton armor, and the water mist splashed after it broke was like steam.
"Wait until 18:040..." Homeroom Teacher- sighed, "When the street lights come on, you will find the way out. Good luck."
"..." Shan Nan was silent for a while, then uttered two words.
"Thank you..."
Looking at Shan Nan's back as he turned around resolutely, Lin Yi knew that he could no longer understand Shan Nan's purpose in building the fire man. However, from the conversation between the homeroom teacher-040 and Shan Nan, he knew that he had actually gotten the answer. However, he could no longer infer the details based on the clues he had now.
Lin Yi turned his head and looked at the homeroom teacher-040, and asked: "The way you said to leave... is it true?"
Homeroom Teacher-040 nodded slowly: "It's true... but if you get past the school doctor, you can't get past the security guards."
The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched fiercely. A very realistic picture had already emerged in his mind - a heavy rain was pouring down, and the mountain man wearing an exoskeleton armor was standing at the edge of the campus. In the dim light, the mask of the exoskeleton armor faintly reflected the body outline of the security guard, which was full of destructiveness and oppression...
Class teacher-040 was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "He will leave alive. Even the security guards won't be able to stop him."
Lin Yi looked at the head teacher-040 in surprise: "You'd better say 'can't stop' instead of 'can't kill'..."
He could still distinguish the sense of oppression from the security guard and the mountain man. He always felt that there was something behind the words of the head teacher-040. Leaving was one thing, and breaking through the security guard head-on was the same as leaving alive after enduring the security guard's attack, but the difference in the process was huge.
The homeroom teacher-040 glanced at him and said: "The atmosphere has been set to this point, don't ruin it."
Then, her gentle face, like the older sister next door, had deep eyes, as if they contained starlight: "No one can stop a burning heart of revenge..."
Lin Yi pursed his lips and did not break the "atmosphere". He moved his feet silently and prepared to return to the classroom.
"The girl Yuan Lijian was talking about is Zhang Lingzhen, and the other one...is it you?"
Class Teacher-040 stared at Lin Yi with burning eyes.
Lin Yi smiled helplessly: "Please, there should be a limit to your wild imagination. I wasn't there at that time!"
"You're not there? Then where are you?" Homeroom Teacher-040 asked. Lin Yi said, "I'm in the gymnasium!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a half-smile on the corner of the homeroom teacher's mouth.
His heart skipped a beat again, thinking to himself that this was not good, he was not going to be tricked!
Class teacher-040 sneered and said, "How do you know what time I'm talking about? Unless you already know it."
Lin Yi's mind raced, and he almost had a cold. Then he answered decisively, "He has only been in school for a short time, and the fire man has to be used once it is constructed. So, apart from the fact that he deliberately concealed the secret he had discovered and prepared to use it as a bargaining chip to leave, the remaining time can only be last night... and last night, before Lao Mo came to find me, I stayed in the gymnasium the whole time!"
He spread his hands and shrugged.
Class teacher-040 was frightened by Lin Yi's extremely clear logical analysis, and then smiled: "I know it's not you, I'm just fooling you."
Lin Yi curled his lips and said, "I'm leaving first. I'm going to have a rest. I have to find a way to go back to the dormitory and sleep later... I didn't sleep yesterday, and I won't be able to hold on if I don't sleep today."
"Are you still planning to go back to the dormitory?" Class teacher-040 pulled him aside, "In this weather, are you going to die?"
Lin Yi glanced at her.
She realized something was wrong and quickly let go of Lin Yi's hand.
Lin Yi said: "Teacher, don't forget that for someone like me, staying in the classroom overnight would be a real risk of death."
"The gym?"
"No." Lin Yi shook his head, "I have a reason to go to the dormitory."
"Then I won't ask you any more questions." Homeroom Teacher-040 said, "If I keep asking, I'll feel like I'm forcing you to set a goal... You should go to the classroom and rest first. But in this weather, based on experience, it's unlikely to stop raining until tomorrow, let alone turn cloudy."
"Okay... before you leave, you'd better come and see me one last time."
Lin Yi smiled bitterly and touched the back of his head: "Don't talk as if one of us is going to die..."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!" The head teacher said angrily, pretending to hit Lin Yi, "If you continue like this, there will be no more talk!"
"No, no, no..." Lin Yi waved his hand and retreated, and just as he was about to leave, the head teacher-040 seemed to suddenly remember something and suddenly called him.
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Yi stopped and said, "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Homeroom teacher-040 nodded: "You come back first."
"Oh." Lin Yi came back into the room and took it with him.
Homeroom teacher-040 walked towards the desk and said, "I was so busy listening to you just now that I almost forgot to tell you that there are four new people in our class."
"Four newcomers?" A strange look flashed across Lin Yi's eyes. "It's interesting that they entered the campus before the abnormal weather broke out..."
"The authorities wouldn't do something so dangerous, would they? They must be people from the God's Domain who infiltrated to carry out the mission?"
"What do you think?" Homeroom Teacher 040 asked back with a strange look in his eyes, thinking, weren't you one of those who entered the campus when the abnormal weather broke out? How did you come to your senses and classify yourself as being on the opposite side?
Lin Yi immediately said: "People from the "God's Realm"."
Homeroom Teacher-040 nodded: "The aura of those four people is not normal, and they didn't exchange secret signals with me. Basically, we can rule out the possibility that they are official special agents. They are most likely people from the "God's Realm."
"If you see them, you can immediately tell them apart from the experience students... They have a special aura."
"Like...Yama-nan?"
"What about Yuan Lijian?" The head teacher-040 was stunned.
Lin Yi explained: "It has a 'studied' aura."
"..." Class teacher-040 was speechless. He didn't expect Lin Yi's angle to be so unique. "I don't know about that..."
As she spoke, she flipped through the folder and said, "Those four people, two men and two women. The older man is named 'Lu Zhao', and the younger one is named 'Jin Jiuyao'..."
"Jin Jiuyao? Why does he smell like a stick?"
"Korean air? What is Korean air?" The head teacher-040 was stunned.
"It's kimchi sticks!" Lin Yi imitated the tone and uttered a pronunciation, "Smecta~"
Class teacher-040 was amused for a moment, then said seriously: "Lin Yi, your joke is not funny... When the incident broke out in 99, the Xiaohan city-state was already gone. There are many people with the surname Jin in China, right?"
Lin Yi explained: "It's mainly because the pronunciation is too similar... Speaking of which, Xiao Zi also died in 99. Did Xiao Hanzi also encounter an attack by alien angels?"
The homeroom teacher-040 gave him a strange look and said, "Have you never learned this history? The city-state of Xiaohan was destroyed by the nocturnal species!"
"Ah? Just the nocturnal species conquered Xiao Hanzi?" Lin Yi felt a little surprised.
"This kind of historical common sense is not the main point of our discussion." Class Teacher-040 continued, "There are two girls who are twins. The more indifferent one is called 'Chen Bing', and the less indifferent one is called 'Chen Xue'."
"These four people seem to be a team. I assume they are here to collect ashes, but it's hard to say if they have other missions. Since the authorities let them in, it means they have at least passed a wave of 'review'."
Lin Yi lowered his eyelids slightly: "What should I pay attention to?"
"Hide yourself well and try not to conflict with them until their purpose becomes clear." Class Teacher-040 said, "Maybe they are official people?"
Lin Yi didn't expect that homeroom teacher-040 would tell him this, but he nodded anyway: "Okay, but no matter which side they are on, it's best not to affect my plan, otherwise... I don't care who they are."
