Chapter 9 Night is their home field
"You just need to abide by the rules honestly, be a normal student, and then leave the campus on the seventh day. Do you understand?" Xu Shunkang stared at Lin Yi eyes, wishing to write this sentence into Lin Yi's code.
Lin Yi opened his mouth slightly, trying to restrain himself from thinking about the meaning of Xu Shunkang's words, and then first told the trouble he encountered: "I understand, but my roommate separated from us, so I want to find him."
"You entered school today...so the person who separated from you didn't even get his student ID card?"
"He...maybe? I haven't gotten it yet." Mao Feiyang walked to the stairwell, and Lin Yi was not sure what his situation was now.
"Where did you get separated?"
"In the stairs."
"Stairs?" Xu Shunkang was slightly startled, "Did he take the stairs along the left hand side?"
"On the left? No, we got separated on the stairs to the basement."
"Basement?" A trace of doubt appeared in Xu Shunkang's eyes, "Strange, teaching The building code says there is no basement..."
He began to think subconsciously, and his knowledge about this teaching building flashed back subconsciously in his mind.
Classrooms, corridors, offices...then, the appearance of a stairwell broke into his memory.
It was a blue-grey isolated fire door with a green-lighting safety exit mark on the door.
But as soon as he thought about this door, a feeling of fatigue came out of his heart.
Xu Shunkang's expression suddenly changed, he shook his head violently, and then muttered: "No! That underground... that thing is outside my understanding of the rules!"
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, and a bright light flashed between his eyes: "Out of recognition?!"
"Shut up! Shut up!" Seeing Lin Yi seemed to want to say something else, Xu Shunkang's face instantly changed. There was a nervous look on his face.
His eyes flickered and he looked panicked.
After Lin Yi stopped drinking, he immediately closed his eyes, and then kept chanting: "The teaching building does not have a basement, the teaching building does not have a basement..."
Following his thoughts As he continued to strengthen, his understanding of the teaching building also began to consolidate again, and the fatigue that had just emerged deep in his heart was also nipped in the bud.
He opened his eyes again, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he looked at Lin Yi and asked in a deep voice: "Is this why you have been thinking about the school district?"
"Yes. Ah."
"So you also feel that there is something wrong with the campus, right? The strange weather, the buildings beyond recognition, and...the sneaky figures..."
"Yes. Ah, that's why I'm thinking about this question... isn't it? If you don't think about it, isn't there something wrong with your brain?" Lin Yi looked at Xu Shunkang innocently.
"You... eh, you fucking..." Xu Shunchang was already a little angry at first, but now he couldn't get angry anymore. He kept saying "What the hell are you" in his mouth for a long time, and finally he He shook his head helplessly.
"What you said makes sense."
Lin Yi followed his tone and said, "Yes, so can you tell me some useful information?"
" Xu·Shunkang·Xue·Chan."
"You?" Xu Shunkang took a step back subconsciously. Looking at Lin Yi's expression, he suddenly understood something, and the suppressed anger emerged again. A hint came, "It's too dangerous for you to do this!"
Lin Yi shrugged and said helplessly: "There is no way, senior... I already have a roommate who is in crisis, and this person around me You really can’t give me any useful information.”
Wei Liang didn't refute, just touched his nose awkwardly.
Xu Shunkang shook his head angrily: "No."
"Can't you give me any clues?" Lin Yi asked sincerely.
“Can’t.”
“Why?”
"No why!" Xu Shunkang looked sternly, "That's not something you should know!"
Just when Lin Yi wanted to ask more questions, a voice sounded from behind him.
“Because the more you understand the secrets of the campus, the more you will be unable to extricate yourself...”
“This inability to extricate yourself is uncontrollable, just like a magnet attracting iron nails. "
"You can only sense the attraction of the magnet from a distance now, but once you understand more, you will shorten the distance between you and the magnet. Once it exceeds a critical value, you will not be able to get rid of it. This magnetic field.”
"The moment you step into the magnetic field, your cognition will be subverted and shattered. If you can't re-establish your cognition, you are doomed."
A man dressed exactly like Xu Shunkang The classmate in blue and white striped sportswear walked up to Lin Yi.
"Xie Huayang, physical education student, Fatty and I are from the same batch." He introduced himself.
Then he looked at Xu Shunkang, frowned and urged: "Okay, fat man, it's getting late. Control your emotions and don't get angry. It's time for us to leave."
"It's so early. Go?" Xu Shunkang was a little surprised.
"It's early." Xie Huayang came over and lowered his voice and said, "Today we are short of manpower. You just made us full of hatred. The right time, place and people are not on our side. If we don't leave early, we will die. Huh?"
"Uh..." Xu Shunkang choked, and his anger suddenly dissipated.
He looked at Lin Yi and Wei Liang and hesitated: "What should they do?"
Xie Huayang glanced at Lin Yi and Wei Liang lightly: "They make you angry. Are you still thinking about them?”
“It’s none of our business whether they live or die!”
"You've given me a few words of advice, and I've said a few more words. They can listen to the rest if they want to hear it. If they don't like to hear it, then so be it!"
Xu Shunkang was obviously still hesitant, but Xie Huayang Suddenly he said: "It's hard to persuade those who want to die. If they are like Yuan Tietou, no matter how many times we try, it will be useless."
I knew Xie Huayang was deliberately irritating him, but when I heard With the name Yuan Tietou, Xu Shunkang's anger that had just dissipated erupted again.
He grabbed Xie Huayang by the collar and growled: "Shut up! Stop mentioning Big Head! Do you think that's really the case? We had a chance to save him!"
< br>"There is a chance! He thought he understood the code, but he did understand it!" Xie Huayang slammed Xu Shunkang's hand away, "Didn't we persuade him? We didn't tell him not to do that. But he didn’t listen!”
He pointed at Lin Yi and Wei Liang: "Just like those two self-righteous Shabi, they don't want to listen! We met by chance, what nonsense are you talking to them?"
"I'm sorry. Interject a word...I'm not not listening..." Wei Liang raised his hands and said weakly.
Xie Huayang pointed to the quartz clock on the wall of the classroom again: "It's eight forty-three now, are you leaving? If you don't leave, I'll leave first!"
"If you do If you want to leave, then go ahead!"
"Then I'm leaving! I won't accompany you!" Xie Huayang turned around without hesitation.
"Wait for me!" Xu Shunkang was like a pump, the anger being pumped up and down in his body.
But now I just pulled it up and then pushed it down again.
His face was full of unwillingness.
He clenched the comic book in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't finished reading this comic yet."
"What's so good about the Minotaur comic?" Xie Huayangyi He snatched "The Green War" from Xu Shunkang's hands, "Hong Kong comics just can't get rid of the cerebral palsy minotaur plot that disgusts readers. I've finished reading this book a long time ago. The more I go to the back, the more I stretch my legs. The finale is even more... The answer is so messed up that I might as well watch some pure H comics! ”
"I also have a few works of Mr. Oda Non. I will lend them to you for tasting later." He patted Xu Shunkang on the shoulder and urged, "Oh, let's go, let's go! Hurry!" Xu Shunkang His anger had really dissipated by now. He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There is still a little time, I will say something to them again."
"Hurry up. ." Xie Huayang also knew not to push too hard.
Xu Shunkang came to Lin Yi and Wei Liang and said very seriously: "We are leaving, you two, be careful."
"Where are you going?" Lin Yi asked subconsciously.
"What should you be careful about?" Wei Liang blurted out almost at the same time as Lin Yi.
Xu Shunkang said: "You are not allowed to leave the teaching building after 21 o'clock, so we have to take a step forward."
"After we leave, you must be careful about everyone except you. People."
"Because..."
He looked around, his cold eyes scanning the faces of the students who had gathered around him.
"Night is their home court..."
Lin Yi and Wei Liang were shocked.
“Remember, following the rules is the only way you can protect yourself.”
After saying that, Xu Shunkang followed Xie Huayang and walked towards the door of the classroom.
Before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something else. He turned to look at Lin Yi and said with a smile: "However, theoretically speaking, it is relatively safe to spend the night in the classroom. I hope I can see you again tomorrow... …Good luck to you.”
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out with Xie Huayang.
The moment the classroom door opened, wisps of thick fog drifted in from the cracks in the door like noon smoke.
Outside the classroom, the biting cold wind mixed with icy water vapor is constantly washing over the campus. The entire classroom is like a sailboat sailing on the Caribbean Sea at night, which may capsize at any time amid the waves and thick fog. .
As Xie Huayang and Xu Shunkang left, some classmates left the classroom one after another.
Lin Yi noticed that almost all of the students who left were wearing uniform blue and white sportswear.
In other words, they are all sports students.
After the physical education students left, the classroom door was closed again.
The cold wind outside the door no longer blows in, and the large and empty classroom gradually becomes warm again under the bright yellow light of the incandescent lamp.
Looking at the leaving figures of the physical education students, Lin Yi’s mind floated a sentence from Xie Huayang: [Because the more you understand the secrets of the campus, the more you will be unable to extricate yourself... This kind of inextricability is Uncontrollable, like a magnet attracting nails. 】
"Can't help myself? Is it the feeling of guidance I felt before?"
"Don't think..."
"Keep thinking..."
"Damn, this is how you play, right?"
Lin Yi glanced at the clock on the wall. He glanced at the time on his watch again.
20:47.
"It will be nine o'clock soon..."
Lin Yi took out the student rules and flipped through them, and found the one about staying overnight.
[Student Code Article 6: Please leave the dormitory between 6:00~7:40 and return to the dormitory between 21:00~22:00. After returning to the dormitory, do not stay in the dormitory during this period Leave the dormitory outside... If you do not return to the dormitory before 22:00, please return to the classroom by all means. The lights in the classroom will not be turned off. Please stay in the classroom overnight.
During this period, if you notice anything unusual outside the dormitory room or classroom, please ignore it, especially if you hear a voice calling your name.
Be wary of roommates who have not stayed overnight in the dormitory, especially if they ask you anything related to your student ID. 】
Take a look at the rules for this time period in the building code.
[Evening self-study time is after 18:00, but the school does not force students to participate in evening self-study unless the current time has exceeded 21:00.
After 21:00, you are not allowed to leave the classroom. Please study by yourself until 7:40 the next day. You can browse any books, but remember not! want! exist! teach! room! middle! sleep! (This last sentence is bold, underlined, and marked with lots of bold exclamation points).
During this period, if you see anything unusual outside the window or someone calling you outside the door, please ignore it. 】
Lin Yi rubbed his chin and started thinking.
"The student code states that the time to return to the dormitory is between 21:00 and 22:00, while the teaching building code states that it is prohibited to leave the classroom after 21:00."
"In other words, normal In this case, we should leave the classroom before 21:00 and arrive at the dormitory before 22:00. There will be up to an hour in between to rush..."
He turned over the teaching building manual again At the end, I opened the map and observed the location relationship between the teaching building and the dormitory.
The teaching buildings on the map are exactly the same as those described in the teaching building regulations. There are three buildings built side by side, connected to each other by bridges in the middle, just like three "mu" characters placed together.
The distance from the teaching building to the dormitory is almost the same as the distance to the school gate. The road is also littered with street lights like rice.
"Judging from the rules, one hour of traveling time should be enough."
"However, the student rules state that if you do not return to the dormitory after 22:00, you must return to the classroom to study until 7:00 the next day: 40, but the rules of the teaching building say that it is forbidden to leave the classroom after 21:00..."
"Isn't this a conflict?"
"No, no, no conflict...it is forbidden to leave the classroom. , does not mean that entry is prohibited, so those who are too late to return to the dormitory can return to the classroom to study, yes, that’s right.”
“However, you are not allowed to leave after 21:00...”
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch. The current time was 20:52. He had been thinking about things for a total of 5 minutes since the sports student left.
But during these 5 minutes of thinking time, he did not feel as tired as before.
"Why am I not tired or sleepy now, but so tired before?"
Lin Yi took a deep breath, then looked around, taking in the entire circular classroom environment.
There are now more than sixty students in the huge classroom, and there are about forty students who had gathered around Lin Yi before and put enough pressure on him.
These people all have a very obvious characteristic, that is, they huddle in their seats, as if they want to embed themselves in them.
They drooped their heads, some stared blankly into the air, while others stared directly at other students in the classroom.
The other students, like Lin Yi and Wei Liang, looked relatively normal. The number was probably less than twenty or thirty.
Lin Yi told Wei Liang what he had discovered.
After Wei Liang listened, he said puzzledly: "You said those thirty or forty people have problems, I have no objection, but how can you be sure that the remaining people are normal? Some people are neither yin nor yang." You can’t see anything unusual through observation, right?”
Lin Yi shook his head: "I don't make judgments based on this level of observation."
Thanks to the book friend "Keli Fried Fish" for the reward!
