Chapter 4 Teaching Building
X023 May 6, 18:54.
In the area where the university teaching building in S City is located, a chef wearing a green bib recommended tomato meat sauce pasta to Lin Yi and others. The picture was as still as a relief.
Lin Yi paused for a second. The fear exploded in his mind at this moment. His body trembled subconsciously, but his brain was extremely calm.
He took a deep breath, then looked at the back of the security guard. Without glancing at the chef and tomato bolognese noodles, he took a step forward and followed the security guard at a leisurely pace.
The chef looked at him with a smile and kept recommending the spaghetti with tomato meat sauce. His eyes always fell on him and followed his movements, turning around slowly like a puppet.
When Lin Yi passed by the chef, he could clearly feel the mist rolling in, and he could also feel that there was no creature emitting warmth around him.
But he could feel the eyes from the green bib chef, cold, greedy, vicious, naked...and, longing.
The hair on his arms suddenly stood up.
Everyone passed by the green bib chef one after another, and no one paid attention to the existence of the green bib chef.
Mao Feiyang walked at the end of the group. When he was about to leave, Lin Yi's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
“Maozi.”
Mao Feiyang turned around subconsciously.
In the mist that was about to be engulfed by darkness, the chef in the green bib drooped his head, and the corners of his mouth curved like a clown.
At this time, a dull thunder rumbled deep in the night sky.
Thunder flashed across the sky, and the campus suddenly lit up.
In the mist, strange shadows twisted and intertwined. They retreated into the depths of the mist, but they were always aloof from everyone.
Mao Feiyang's pupils opened slightly.
Lin Yi's voice came from the mouth of the green bib chef, with a hint of magic.
"Maozi."
"Maozi."
"Come with me."
"Come with me..."
"Hehehehe..."
… …
"Tick...ta..."
A few raindrops fell on Lin Yi's face.
Lin Yi looked at the sky. The gloomy night fell like a collapsed cave ceiling, making people breathless.
Wei Liang's trembling voice sounded: "Old Lin, it's going to rain..."
Lin Yi was also a little panicked in his heart. He looked at the back of the security guard, but he still didn't speed up. The meaning of footsteps.
Even the employees wearing chef uniforms behind him didn't react at all.
So he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "How far is it from the cafeteria to the teaching building?"
"Huh?" Wei Liang was startled.
Lin Yi glared at him angrily: "Haven't you been here before? How long does it take to walk from the teaching building to the cafeteria during lunch?"
Wei Liang then reacted. He came over, thought about it, and said: "About... about ten minutes, but that is under normal circumstances."
"What is 'normal situation'?"
"Normal situation is when the fog is not very heavy, but the current weather is very abnormal."
Lin Yi quickly looked at the time.
19:13.
“19:13...We met the security guard before 6:30, and it has been more than 40 minutes now...”
He narrowed his eyes.
Tian Bufan touched his nose and murmured in thought: "The student code states that once encountering abnormal weather, you must take shelter as soon as possible, and even some of the rules can be ignored..."
"Now it seems that abnormal weather should be more dangerous than some weird buildings..."
Judging from the student regulations, it is obvious that there are some unusual buildings on this campus.
“But why?”
Tian Bufan touched a few raindrops that accidentally fell on his face and frowned slightly.
Lin Yi saw that Tian Bufan was thinking, so he did not interrupt. Suddenly he noticed something. Not far in front of the security guard, the shadow of a huge thing appeared faintly under the thick fog, like It's some kind of building.
There are many dim light spots like fireflies scattered around the building, which are street lamps.
The light curtain cast by the street lamp formed a passage, opening up a road under the thick fog.
A path visible to the naked eye leading to the building ahead.
"Teaching building? Or...something else?"
Lin Yi's mind frantically scrolled through every rule about buildings and abnormal weather in the student code, and finally came to a conclusion.
"The best solution when encountering abnormal weather is to follow the street lights to the nearest building for shelter, and the second best solution is to stay where you are and wait for the security."
Tian Bufan also thought of this. He looked at Lin Yi.
After Lin Yi made his decision, he also looked at him.
"Let's go?"
"Let's go."
"Just go!"
"I'll open the way, you come to the rear! Liangzi, Wei Sang, Kuai Kuai, Mao Zi, Let’s go! Don’t look back, don’t worry about anything, just follow me!” Lin Yi yelled and ran away, using the light of the old oil lamp in the security guard’s hand, towards the street lamp closest to him! Rod rushes away.
Wei Liang took a deep breath, pursed his lips, gritted his teeth and followed.
Others followed one after another.
"Maozi, you go first, I'll stop you later."
Seeing that Mao Feiyang was a little stiff, Tian Bufan quickly patted Mao Feiyang's shoulder.
Mao Feiyang seemed to be distracted, glanced at Tian Bufan stiffly, and then immediately followed Kuai Hongji's back into the mist.
Tian Bufan frowned and couldn't help but look at the way he was looking.
The chef in the green bib has long since disappeared, only the dragon-like team of chefs are hiding in the thick fog, holding on to the iron chains in their hands.
......
Lin Yi charged in the fog like a vigorous cheetah, but as he moved away from the light curtain formed by the kerosene lamp, the surrounding fog immediately hit him like a wave. Come.
The sound of the waves is mixed with throaty whispers and bizarre calls, just like the sound of whistles drifting in the wind from the other side of the distant world, turning into pairs of invisible palms, penetrating the mist, grabbing Lin Yi's limbs were trapped.
In that light whistle sound, there seemed to be some kind of strange whisper mixed in. The syllables of the sound were not in any human language, and the vague pronunciation seemed to say:
[fa... nTo...me...]
[fanTo...me...fRa...]
With the sound of the sound, a strong sense of obstruction immediately enveloped Lin Yi. .
"Oops!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth and opened his pupils slightly. At this moment, he seemed to feel that there was some kind of ominous will burrowing into his brain like an iron worm.
At this moment, the rustling sound of stones rubbing against the ground resounded in the mist.
Without the deterrence of the security guards and old kerosene lamps, and the distance between the streetlight curtains, those things in the fog suddenly seized the best opportunity and approached at a faster speed. come over.
The sense of oppression hung high on Lin Yi's head like a huge boulder, threatening to crush him at any time.
At the critical moment, Lin Yi heard some calls from the whispers and sobs like waves. The calls mixed with the sound of [fanTome] sounded like——
"Lin Yi! Lin Yi! ”
The sound came from behind him, like a rapid sound coming from Mao Feiyang's mouth.
He subconsciously wanted to turn around.
But at this moment, his scalp suddenly exploded, and his hair almost stood upside down.
He woke up instantly.
「Student Code!」
"Don't look back!"
"Don't look back!"
He then stared at the light pole in front of him, and only the light pole remained in his eyes.
At that moment, he seemed to be able to see the words on the street light pole!
"Teaching Building-108". "Rush!"
Lin Yi burst out with unprecedented strength. Although every step he took was very difficult, the lamppost gave him a strong sense of security.
Especially a light pole standing in front of the teaching building!
Lin Yi was so suppressed by the fog and blockage that he almost fell down on the cobblestone ground, like a man walking on the dunes in a sandstorm.
His eyes were also slightly red due to congestion, and a beast-like roar came from his throat.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Just when the thick fog was about to drown him, a steady and powerful force came from his back.
"Let's go!" Wei Shan's deep roar sounded, and his strong arm pushed Lin Yi through the thick fog.
"Boom..."
When he stepped into the light range, the soft orange light screen chopped down like a chopping knife, completely cutting off the fog behind him.
At that moment, Lin Yi felt that the mountain pressing on him was suddenly shattered, and an unprecedented sense of comfort penetrated his body.
He grabbed the street light pole and looked back at the fog with the help of the orange light curtain. He saw Wei Shan, Wei Liang and others rushing in one after another, and at the boundary of the fog, dark shadows lurked. Hidden, the whispers coming and going were blown messy in the wind.
"What is it in the mist? They seem to be very afraid of lights..."
Lin Yi looked around and found that the security guard had long disappeared. The dragon-like The long team didn’t know where they were going, and their previous experiences were like a dream.
He looked again at the buildings that were almost standing in front of him, only a light pole away from them.
The light curtains hanging between street lamps are connected with each other, forming an hourglass-like passage.
"Tick, click..."
A few raindrops fell, which suddenly made Lin Yi, who was relieved, tense up again.
“It’s not time to take a breath yet, we are just out of danger for the time being.” Tian Bufan looked at the building in front of him calmly, “If I am right, that should be the teaching building.”
< br>"Whether it is or not, let's go over there first." Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
19:23.
"Just a few steps, I ran for ten minutes?!"
Lin Yi was shocked in his heart, and this time, Tian Bufan had already taken the lead and walked forward.
"Let's go, why are you in a daze?" Kuai Hongji elbowed Lin Yi and urged.
“Here we come.” Lin Yi and Wei Liang quickly followed.
Looking at the backs of his roommates, Mao Feiyang stood there, a little lost in thought. Suddenly, Lin Yi's voice sounded behind him again.
"Maozi."
"Stop being dazed, let's go!"
"Follow them!"
Mao Feiyang seemed to have a headache, he He held his forehead and shook his head slightly, with a look of doubt flashing in his eyes from time to time.
"Maozi, hurry up!" Kuai Hongji's impatient urging sounded coldly from under the street lamp.
Mao Feiyang suddenly trembled, and the calling that lingered in his ears suddenly disappeared.
He realized something, and he broke into a cold sweat behind his back.
He ran away and kept up with his roommate.
……
Arriving at the last lamppost in front of the building, Lin Yi looked up.
The huge building not far in front of me towers into the dark and oppressive sky like a mountain. The lights in the building are brightly lit, like burning torches in the dark night.
"It's a teaching building."
Looking along Tian Bufan's gaze, there are huge words "Teaching Building" written on the building, which can be seen even in the dark. Clearly.
"We've arrived at the teaching building." Only at this moment did Lin Yi feel relieved.
However, Wei Liang screamed in horror: "No! Lao Lin, no! There is something wrong with this teaching building!"
Wei Liang pointed to the teaching building with trembling fingers, and said in an extremely frightened voice: "The teaching building only has The fourth floor...but it, it it it..."
Lin Yi was stunned and looked along Wei Liang's direction.
“One, two, three, four…”
“Five…”
"Six..."
"Seven..."
Faintly, there is the... eighth floor that penetrates deep into the thick foggy sky!
"This?!"
His eyes fluctuated violently, and his peace of mind was suddenly lifted again at this moment.
"It's not written in the student regulations!" he said.
Wei Liang said: "It's not written in the student rules...but it is written in the teaching building rules!"
"Huh-huh-huh-"
Mist Rolling, drizzle blurred.
The lingering whispers and the sound of rustling stones were extremely harsh, and the dull and dank environment seemed to be able to crush everyone's psychological defenses.
"It's too late to think so much. We have to go in before the rain really starts!" Lin Yi lowered his voice.
In the face of unknown dangers, it is impossible to avoid danger. The only thing that can be done is to choose a route with relatively low danger.
"Let's go! Go to the teaching building!" Lin Yi took the lead and rushed towards the teaching building.
......
I walked from the last lamppost to the teaching building without encountering any problems. It was so normal that Lin Yi felt something was wrong.
However, Lin Yi has always had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart since he entered the campus, but this feeling was significantly relieved when he stepped on the steps of the teaching building.
Temporarily out of the crisis, Lin Yi took a few breaths and then began to observe the surrounding environment.
Although it was said online that this was a newly built campus, Lin Yi could not see any "new" traces in the teaching building. Thinking about it, under the catalysis of such bad weather and geographical environment, Any building will show an ancient state.
However, Lin Yi was gratified that at least there were students in this teaching building, but they were in a hurry, and even if they passed by, they didn't give them a second glance.
Despite this, Lin Yi could still feel the same kind of temperature from their bodies, and this feeling was something he had never felt in the mist along the way...
"These should be those who came earlier to experience university life. Just like Wei Liang when he came last time, they did not encounter such weird and abnormal weather." Lin Yixin said.
After Tian Bufan observed it for a while, he immediately walked towards the stairwell of the teaching building.
Looking at Tian Bufan's back, Lin Yi couldn't help but patted his head, and then shook his head gently. He felt that his thinking was in a trance, as if he was affected by the environment. He gained some knowledge...
But he immediately noticed an eye-catching notice board standing not far away, so he suppressed this sense of trance.
He walked over and took a look, and was surprised to see the sign saying:
"Dear university life experiencer, when you see this notice board, it means that you have successfully overcome the impact of abnormal weather and arrived at the teaching building. Please follow the instructions below. You will obtain your student ID card and start your university life. Life experience journey:
1. Please go down the stairs to the first floor of the teaching building, and then look at the first door on the left. If the door number says 'Teacher's Office', please knock on the door. And inform us of your intention.

“If you see someone other than a teacher. Office' but other rooms, please do not enter and continue down the stairs until you encounter the teacher's office."
"2. Don't believe anyone's words before you get your student ID card. , let alone enter any classroom other than the teacher’s office.”
"After you get your student ID card, please be careful and keep it properly. You can talk to other students about your student ID card, but never lend it to anyone, even just to look at it."
< br>"It will be very troublesome if you lose your student ID card. (This sentence is bold and underlined)"
"3. After getting your student ID card, find the classroom on the corresponding floor and you can start your university life experience Journey. "
"4. If the situation you encounter does not match any of the above, and you feel that you are lost or have some physical discomfort, please do not go downstairs and go to the left immediately. Go up the stairs and leave when you see the sculpture standing at the top of the stairs."
"You will meet the art teacher and start an art journey."
"I wish you a pleasant experience."
After reading the notice, Lin Yi looked at the stairwell on the side.
The entrance to the stairwell is a thick blue-gray isolation room fire door, and the safety exit sign is glowing green.
Tian Bufan went over and pressed the door handle hard and slowly opened the door. A cold breath seeped out from the crack in the door, as if there was an underground ice cellar hidden behind the door.
He opened the entire door, and the stairwell behind the door was a step leading to the basement.
An old-fashioned incandescent lamp was hung in the narrow and claustrophobic passage of the stairwell. Dust mixed with an earthy smell floated in the air. Gray fog particles visible to the naked eye almost occupied the entire passage. At a glance, it looked like a mine from the last century. tunnel.
Just as he was about to enter the stairwell, Wei Liang grabbed his hand suddenly and exclaimed: "Old Lin!"
Lin Yi turned his head in confusion.
Wei Liang's face under his peaked cap was full of fear, and his voice trembled like a flag in the wind: "Old Lin, don't go..."
"If I remember correctly , the teaching building...has no basement at all”
