Chapter 530: Will this be another anchor?
Chapter 530: Will this be another anchor? (Happy Labor Day!! Please give me a monthly ticket~)
He glanced at the time.
22: 28.
Wei Sang washed for more than ten minutes, while Tian Bufan seemed to have just rinsed his body simply and finished in a few minutes.
"My hair wasn't wet, so there's no need to waste time washing it." Tian Bufan said.
He walked over to the desk and sat down.
"What did you just talk about?"
Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang and said, "You were also involved in the murder of Song Rentou, right? Master Tian."
Tian Bufan was surprised for a moment. He naturally knew that Lin Yi was not discussing the matter at hand, but...
"You want us to play you?"
Lin Yi pursed his lips and did not answer.
Because of his memory problems, he definitely doesn't know a lot of things, but Tian Bufan and the others are different. They definitely know what Wei Liang is doing.
and so……
"That night, we discussed the piece of paper that Song Ren threw for a long time... but in fact, you were all in cahoots to deceive me, right?"
"'Lie'?" Tian Bufan shook his head and said naturally, "How could there be any deception between us? All we did was to guide you to a fact that could not be expressed in a suitable way at a suitable time."
"Your knowledge at that time was not enough to support you knowing so much."
"You have to know..." Tian Bufan rubbed his brows, "The most difficult thing in this world is to adjust extremely subtle operations within an absolute range..."
"Song Rentou is indeed like that... but if we want to interfere with his logic, we can only do so through some external force." Tian Bufan said, "The matter has ended perfectly. Generally speaking, it is a good thing."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly asked: "What will happen if Song Rentou leaves the campus?"
He looked at the sign-in record of the homeroom teacher-040. If nothing unexpected happened, Song Rentou left the campus today.
"Do you want to ask about his ending, or whether he can leave the campus?" Tian Bufan asked.
"I want to know."
Tian Bufan thought for a moment: "In theory, he can't leave the campus, but he can avoid the security blockade, so once he leaves the campus, he will be truly free."
"As 'Song Rentou'?"
"To some extent... yes."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about the Song people?"
Tian Bufan said calmly: "The real Song people died in the campus, so the one who got out alive is 'him'."
"How terrible... the real person is dead, but the fake one is still alive..." Lin Yi murmured, "Can the fake one... survive in society?"
"No." Tian Bufan shook his head, "So they need to return to the campus."
"Some of the experience students...are already fake people."
Tian Bufan inadvertently revealed a more terrifying truth.
"There are school buses to and from the campus, did you know that?" Tian Bufan smiled, "Only the pseudo-humans who see the blue bus can leave... Then these people have been subverted in their 'cognition'. Compared to a group of 'pseudo-humans' who will go limp like rice cakes, they are more like 'walking corpses'. At least... they can still walk in the sun."
"What kind of path is this?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.
"It's a low-level method. It's not within the scope of what we need to know." Tian Bufan put an end to Lin Yi's curiosity.
Lin Yi suddenly fell silent again.
After a dozen seconds of silence, Tian Bufan asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Yi met his gaze: "I was just wondering... considering what happened a few nights ago, are the secrets you "revealed" to me tonight the real "answers" or... another "anchor"? "
Tian Bufan was surprised: "Why do you think so?"
Lin Yi pursed his lips.
First there was the "grandma" anchor, then there was the "exploring the campus to save Maozi" anchor. Now that the cards have been revealed, he is a little reluctant to believe the truth told by Tian Bufan.
Here comes the wolf.
Is it coming for real this time, or is it just a fake?
Can't tell.
He really can't tell the difference.
Tian Bufan sneered: "Every stage has its own sayings... I can only tell you that what I'm telling you now is true."
At this stage, it is "true"... Lin Yi smiled bitterly.
"I thought of that 'signpost' theory you told me about."
He suddenly spoke.
"I feel like you are the signpost, and you are constantly extending the distance corresponding to the signpost...right, Mr. Tian?"
Tian Bufan was somewhat speechless: "Who taught you to make such an analogy? Do you still want to continue asking?"
"You tell me." Lin Yi said, "I'm used to it... I will believe it and then judge for myself."
"It seems that you have even adapted to my rhythm." Tian Bufan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Where were we talking just now?"
"Song Rentou."
"No, it should be the third question." Tian Bufan said, "What should we do specifically?"
"It is known that our goal is to find the principal's notebook and then take it out of the campus and hand it over to the authorities."
“So, how do we implement this?”
"It seems simple enough. All I have to do is find the notebook, take it with me, and leave the campus, right?"
Lin Yi naturally knew that it would not be that simple, otherwise he would not have sent their team of "jokers" out.
"If you want to find the notebook, you must first enter the "Principal's Office."
"Unfortunately, officials do not know the exact location of the 'Principal's Office'."
"The authorities don't know either? How is that possible?" Lin Yi was surprised. "Isn't the 'Principal' an official? Didn't they register the relevant information?"
Tian Bufan glanced at him and said, "How come you are so confused at this moment?" "Knowledge itself is a curse."
“Some information cannot be carried in a conventional way. Officials don’t know it, but that doesn’t mean no one knows it.”
"You must have a sufficient level of cognitive depth to be able to access this kind of information, and I was able to accept that information step by step through constant exploration after entering the school."
"How do you know information that even the official authorities don't know?" Lin Yi was even more confused.
Tian Bufan said calmly: "When I said 'officially they don't know', I meant that there is no relevant record in the official database. But how could the official database have no record of such important information?"
“However, there are individuals within the officialdom who carry this information.”
Tian Bufan emphasized the word "bearing".
"Now, I also know the clue of "Principal's Office". "
Lin Yi asked: "Just a clue, not the exact location?"
"Because there is no specific location at all." Tian Bufan shook his head, "According to the clues I got, the location of the "Principal's Office" should be in one of the following areas..."
"Which areas?" Lin Yi asked.
"The first possible place is the 40th floor of the dormitory building..."
"The 40th floor?!" Lin Yi secretly took a breath, "Do you suspect there is one?"
Tian Bufan said: "Before I remember it thoroughly, I just expressed my doubts about it."
"The dormitory building has 39 floors in total. Each floor has 39 dormitories and a dormitory management office, which adds up to 1 rooms."
"There are 39 floors and 40 rooms on each floor. Why not 40 floors with 40 rooms on each floor?"
Lin Yi wanted to say that your speculation was too groundless, but then he thought, although Mr. Tian needs exploration to relieve stress, his IQ is still online, so it is normal to have such a guess.
After all, it's just a guess, and not every guess needs to be implemented.
Tian Bufan said: "In fact, you should have come to this conclusion a long time ago. The dormitory building is equipped with an elevator, but students living on the 10th floor and above are not allowed to use the stairs... Do you think it is just for protection?"
"The reason why we don't allow people to walk around randomly is to prevent some idiots from taking the stairs out of impatience and discovering the secret of the 40th floor of the dormitory building."
“You cannot return to the dormitory after 22:00 and can only go to the dormitory management office.”
"Just imagine, if you can't even find the dormitory management office and the lights are about to go out, then when you are at your wits' end, a staircase suddenly appears... would you think of going downstairs to escape?"
"However, the staircases on campus are a closed space in themselves. If you only walk up one or two floors, the anchor point may still be there, but if you walk too much, you will inevitably get lost."
"In particular, you and I both know that the closer you are to a pollution source, the greater the impact. This may be the reason why stairs below the 10th floor are passable, but not on higher floors."
"Below the 10th floor, firstly because it is low and can be left in a short time, and secondly because it is far from the 39th floor."
"And to get to the 40th floor, the safest way would be to find a stairwell on the 39th floor that goes up, and then go through the layers, just like we did when we went to the 5th floor of the teaching building."
"If you want to explore this step, it's best to become a dormitory manager first."
"The dormitory manager seems to have a lot of authority at night, right?" Tian Bufan knocked on Wei Liang's bed.
Wei Liang was snoring loudly and did not respond to Tian Bufan's words.
"After becoming a dorm manager, how can I quit that path... Wait, I think I know!" Lin Yi immediately thought of Zhao Lingxiao, "Didn't Zhao Lingxiao's actions tell him how to get rid of the identity of "dorm manager"? "
"The dormitory building rules only mention "don't go into the wrong dormitory", but don't emphasize not to enter the floor."
"This means that as long as time management is done properly, we will have the opportunity to see if the 40th floor exists. The only issue we need to consider is time."
“So the best thing to do is to become a dorm supervisor… Become a dorm supervisor and have the opportunity to go to the art building again.”
"Having said so much, everything is based on the premise that the 40th floor of the dormitory building exists. According to the unspoken rule of 'there is no silver here' in the code, the floors that do not exist in the teaching building actually exist, so the floors that do not exist in the dormitory building may also exist."
"As I continue to unlock knowledge, I also know that the 40th floor of the dormitory building does exist, and the principal's office may also be there."
"After talking about the first possible point, let's talk about the second possible point."
"The second possibility is that the school doctor may have a way to get directly to the principal's office."
"The location of the school clinic is second only to the principal's office in terms of mystery, but if the school clinic is a ship, then the gymnasium is where it is permanently moored."
"The school infirmary is, at least, 'anchored' in reality."
"However, we have very limited clues about the school clinic. Even athletes don't seem to go to the school clinic."
Lin Yi also thought that even though it was in the school clinic, going to the clinic required the intervention of the class teacher and the security guard... From this perspective, wasn't the style of the school clinic a little too high?
"We have physical education class tomorrow, so you can focus on finding out about the school clinic."
"The third possibility is that the principal's office is in the Art Building. This possibility is much broader... At present, there are two places that are very likely to be there."
"One is outside the cage where 'her' was exiled... that bedroom."
"How do you know this?!" Lin Yi's eyes widened and he interrupted Tian Bufan. "The 'he' the night watchman in the bell tower was talking about, is that you?!"
"I guess so..." Tian Bufan said, "A lot of things were actually prepared before I came here."
"What we did was to choose a path with the highest chance of success after hundreds or thousands of simulations...so we made some preparations very early on."
Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but stagger back a few steps and lean against the wardrobe.
"So that's the case... Then when I go to get the 'balance', has that also been calculated long ago..."
Tian Bufan remained silent.
"No, that's not right!" Lin Yi suddenly thought of something, "Even if you know everything, you shouldn't know that I know the existence of the Mage's bedroom!"
After a moment of silence, Tian Bufan slowly said, "What you experienced last night, I simultaneously sensed in my dream... just like you were able to dream about what we experienced."
Such a big secret was easily revealed by Tian Bufan, as simple as popping a bubble floating in the air.
The strange thing was that Lin Yi, who should have been shocked and surprised, seemed unusually calm.
He was actually able to accept such an abnormality...he was even a little excited.
"Dream communication? Is this the special feature of our team?" There was a strange light in Lin Yi's eyes, as if he had thought of something crazy.
"Let's talk about 'our' matter later." Tian Bufan said, "Let's continue talking about the matter. Apart from 'her' room... most likely, pay attention, I said most likely..."
"The most likely place is the Observatory."
"Observatory?" Lin Yi hesitated. "I once went to an observatory in a strange state of perception, and it seemed... I didn't feel anything unusual?"
Tian Bufan's expression was more serious than ever before: "Regarding this, you'd better listen to me first."
