Chapter 499 They Don’t Exist
Chapter 499 They Don’t Exist
Lu Zhao's words were like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of several people, causing their breathing to stagnate and they were completely speechless.
After a long while, Chen Xue slowly spoke: "But, he is very lustful... Wait!"
As soon as the words came out, Chen Xue realized something belatedly and her expression suddenly changed!
Lu Zhao looked at her deeply: "The desire in the human heart is the most powerful anchor... The only thing that allows him to anchor his identity as a 'human' is perhaps the anchor called 'lust'... or, in other words, the 'lust stamp'!"
"I have always been skeptical about the cause of death of the Laughing Angel, but I just realized that the Laughing Angel is also a 'lost soul', and the reason why it appeared in the classroom also added another reason - a medium!"
"The remnant soul of an unknown era boarded a ship from the old era and appeared at this moment!"
"That angel with a strange smile might be heading for it... It wants to attach itself to Xiao Zi's body and let Xiao Zi take it to move around the campus, or... escape from the campus!"
Lu Zhao exhaled deeply and sighed earnestly, "The strange forms... are ever-changing."
Chen Xue and the others looked both ugly and solemn.
And the ugliest one is Chen Xue.
She secretly glanced at Wei Liang. If lust is the stamp that anchors human nature, then how horrible is the true self of that pervert who can't let go of H comics?
Chen Bing suddenly said indifferently: "Strangeness itself is not scary."
"Ah?" Jin Jiuyao looked over in surprise, "What are you talking about?"
Chen Bing said silently: "The weirdness itself is not scary. What is scary is the rampage after losing control, or some irregular behaviors."
She glanced at Jin Jiuyao indifferently.
"As the only perception talent in the team, Jin Jiuyao, many of your actions since entering the school have forced me to re-evaluate your ability as a member of our team."
“Ah? No, Xiaobing, no, Sister Bing, don’t do this…” Upon hearing the words re-evaluation, Jin Jiuyao suddenly became anxious, as if his vitals had been stepped on.
But after Chen Bing finished speaking, he retracted his gaze and turned to look at the bookshelf area, as if searching for Lin Yi.
"When the weather gets better, go find the class teacher to find out about Xiao Zi's attendance record. I have a bad feeling that the class teacher definitely doesn't have any record of Xiao Zi because this person doesn't exist." Lu Zhao said in a deep voice, "If the weather is not good tonight, we can do it tomorrow. There's no rush."
Jin Jiuyao and others nodded heavily.
When Lu Zhao said this, he couldn't help but look at Wei Liang again.
"That William... better check his records as well."
"clear."
"Also, although we are investigating, this is just our private matter and should not affect the mission... Regardless of what we have found or not, we should start executing the mission."
For some unknown reason, when they started discussing things related to Lin Yi, they felt a slight discomfort, as if they were being stared at by something cold and evil.
The few of them were about to stop discussing Lin Yi, but Chen Bing suddenly thought of something and said, "I'll go check it out now."
"Ah?" Even Lu Zhao was a little surprised. He had just said that the execution of the mission should not be affected by this matter. "What do you think?"
Chen Bing said coldly: "I don't know why, but I always have an uneasy feeling in my heart... I must go to the office now."
"But outside?" Lu Zhao expressed his concern.
"It'll be okay." Chen Bing said indifferently, then walked towards the classroom door.
Seeing this, the remaining students in the classroom turned their attention over and observed Chen Bing closely.
Chen Bing walked to the door of the classroom, calmly grasped the door handle, and then decisively opened the door.
“Ka—”
The door opened, and mist surged in like broken waves. A figure was moving in the mist, and it was unclear whether it was a nocturnal species or part of the Forest of Dead Steles.
Chen Bing turned a blind eye, walked out of the door alone, and closed the door behind him.
“Bang!”
The door was tightly closed, and the mist just now seemed to be just a momentary illusion.
It was not until the door was closed again that Lu Zhao withdrew his gaze. He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling powerless.
It's hard to lead a team these days. Either they are lacking in brains or their nerves are out of whack... After a few seconds of silence for himself, Lu Zhao took a deep breath and slowly said, "Yuan Lijian is in this class. When he shows up in the classroom, we will meet up with him and get some details first."
"it is good."
……
In the bookshelf area.
Lin Yi looked at the open book in his hand with a very grim expression.
The name of the book in his hand was "Modern History of China", but when he opened it, it was blank. Every page was blank, without a single word.
Coincidentally, this was not the first history book he had opened. Every design history book he opened was a blank page with no history recorded at all.
Or... those papers are unable to carry history in words?
Lin Yi picked up several history books including "Modern History of China" and walked out of the bookshelf area.
……
Lin Yi's appearance immediately attracted the attention of Lu Zhao and others. Almost subconsciously, Jin Jiuyao looked at the books in Lin Yi's hands.
"Modern History of China..." Jin Jiuyao's expression changed. "He is reading a history book?"
Lu Zhao couldn't help but ponder: "How many things can there be in modern times? Does he need to read history books to make up for his incomplete memory?"
"Do you want to give it a try?" Jin Jiuyao asked quietly.
Lu Zhao glanced at him, as if to tell him to use his brains: "You want to be drawn into the vortex of time? We don't even know what Xiao Zi is... It would be fine if our speculation is wrong, but if it is right, have you ever thought about what will happen after you get to him?"
"The reason why we think that "time" is not scary is that we are just dust sticking to the hour hand and following the rotation, and we don't understand what time is at all. When the dust tries to go against the hour hand, the infinite power it will face cannot be described in words at all."
"Even the slightest aftermath would be enough to destroy us forever."
He looked at Jin Jiuyao deeply and said, "Use your brain before you speak next time. Don't let your imagination run wild. I won't remind you too much."
Jin Jiuyao closed his mouth.
"Keep observing." Lu Zhao made the final decision, "At the same time... keep your distance."
……
Lin Yi came to Wei Liang's side, then sat down silently and began to flip through the white papers.
After turning a few pages, Wei Liang finished reading the original H comic and stretched his waist.
While stretching, Wei Liang's eyes swept across the pages of the book in front of Lin Yi and his brows frowned slightly.
"Why are you looking at this?" Wei Liang asked curiously.
Lin Yi was interrupted by Wei Liang, and immediately looked over, then pushed the book over and said, "Liangzi, look here..."
Wei Liang took the book and said, "Let me take a look..." He was about to take a closer look when he suddenly realized something. He then looked carefully at the pages and finally changed the subject: "No, Lao Lin, what do you want me to look at? I thought there was some hidden information, but I can't figure it out no matter how I look at it."
Lin Yi, who had been frowning, slowly relaxed his brows upon hearing this, and said with a smile: "I was just wondering why there are books with only blank pages on the bookshelf... I brought them here to let you see if there are any little secrets."
Wei Liang was speechless: "What the hell can I see?"
"Aren't you Fusheng Weiliang Tianzun?" Lin Yi asked back.
"How about I count with my fingers for you?" Wei Liang followed up, "I'm not saying that I might be good at looking through people's cracks, but if you want to use me as a human scanner to look at blank paper, that would be really difficult for me."
Wei Liang took the book and flipped it over and over. "Damn it, it's really all white paper except for the cover! Isn't this too unfair?"
"It's fine to put some fake plastic books on the bookshelf in the model room, but why are the bookshelves on this campus so dishonest, with such pretentious things?"
Even Wei Liang couldn't help but complain.
He suddenly noticed the cover of the book.
"Huh? History books?" He looked at the other books Lin Yi brought over, "Are they all history books?"
"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded.
"I remember that when you were in school, you had no interest in history at all..."
"I'm not really interested in plastering, but didn't I choose the Department of Architecture anyway?"
"I know you chose architecture not to build a house, but just for 'design'... plastering or not, don't I know you well enough?"
Lin Yi was silent for a moment.
If Wei Liang hadn't said it, he would have almost forgotten why he chose the Department of Architecture.
"Well, I'm somewhat interested in history now..." Lin Yi said.
Wei Liang curled his lips: "You didn't study hard during normal times, and now you regret not having enough knowledge when you need it. Are your kidneys not in good condition when you are ready for battle?"
"Isn't that what you're talking about?" Lin Yi smiled bitterly. "Is there any way to let me know some history? Even a few words will do."
He is now eager to learn about history and has no time to pay attention to Wei Liang's ridicule.
Wei Liang frowned slightly: "Is there no history book here that is not a blank sheet of paper?"
Lin Yi said: "I haven't read all of them, but what I have seen is all blank..."
Wei Liang thought for a while with a long nasal sound: "Hmm - if you really want to read history books... why not look for biographies or some other books? Or some works of art appreciation, which may contain some traces of the times..."
Wei Liang's words reminded Lin Yi, and Lin Yi's eyes lit up: "You are right!"
Since we cannot directly see the history recorded in writing, why not take a peek at history from other people’s perspectives?
"Thank you, Liangzi, you reminded me!" After saying this, Lin Yi left with the whiteboard history books.
Wei Liang watched Lin Yi leave, let out a sigh of helplessness, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"This guy Lin... has finally started investigating history..."
He opened another H-manga, then suddenly thought of something, turned his head back to the bookshelf area, and shouted, "Please help me get two comics later!"
"Got it!" Lin Yi's voice came from the bookshelf area.
……
X023年5月10日，17:33。
“Ka—”
The door handle of the classroom was pressed and then pushed open from the outside.
"call--"
A figure wrapped in mist rushed in hurriedly, turned around decisively and closed the classroom door.
"bump!"
The door closed and the entire classroom was isolated from the outside world again.
And at the moment the door closed, some strange figures seemed to be seen through the crack. Their twisted tentacles seemed to blend with the mist and extended into the portal, but as the portal closed, those tentacles were all cut off and finally disappeared as the mist melted.
The mist dissipated, and the figure wrapped in it was revealed. It was Chen Bing who had left earlier.
After Chen Bing came in, he quickly glanced around the classroom. When he saw Wei Liang's position blocked by the erected H comic, his expression changed slightly, and then he hurried back to Lu Zhao and others.
As soon as Chen Bing came in, Lu Zhao and the others naturally looked over. Seeing the solemn expression on Chen Bing's face, the truth of the matter seemed self-evident.
"What's the situation?" Jin Jiuyao asked anxiously, "The head teacher..."
Lu Zhao thought about Jin Jiuyao's words and asked with concern, "Did you encounter any problems during this trip?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Jiuyao.
Jin Jiuyao quickly stopped talking...
Chen Bing calmed his breathing and said, "The situation outside is more complicated than I imagined... Tonight will not be easy, let's talk about the class teacher first..."
"That's fine." Lu Zhao said.
Chen Bing said: "Let me first state the conclusion. Xiao Zi and William...these two people are really not on the sign-in list."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Zhao's brows furrowed.
He actually didn't want this conjecture to be confirmed, because if he did, the problem would become much more serious.
"Are you sure you looked carefully?" Jin Jiuyao asked anxiously.
Chen Bing glared at him. "How could the head teacher show me the list? But did she have to lie to me? She checked the list, and these two names were not on the sign-in list."
She added: "…at least not in the recent past."
"What about the long term?" Jin Jiuyao asked again.
Lu Zhao held Jin Jiuyao down with a serious expression.
Jin Jiuyao quickly shut up. This time he realized where he had done stupid things.
There isn’t any in the near future, is it necessary to ask in the long term?
When a zombie is old enough and you can't even deal with zombies from several dynasties ago, what difference does it make whether you are facing the ancestor of zombies or zombies that are thousands of years old?
Anyway, once you meet them, you can't escape the fate of being killed in one move.
The same applies to Xiao Zi.
