This is definitely a new discovery.
The six clerks headed by Qiu Taoyu fell into deep thought at this moment, searching for the concept of "time carrier" in their minds.
Not long after, Zhong Feiluan looked around and questioned:
"Not necessarily...
We have not experienced many places before and after, so we cannot arbitrarily conclude that the entire university does not have clocks. ”
Moran held his swollen cheeks with his hands and echoed vaguely:
"I agree, if there are no clocks in this university, how do other students, faculty, and staff determine the time?"
Zhu Xiaoning's face did not change in the face of the rebuttal. He turned the alarm clock in his hand and whispered his conclusion.
"About this idea, it is actually more speculation.
There is no clock in the classroom, no teaching building, no cafeteria, no dormitory.
Especially since there is no time display even in my duty room.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to rephrase my sentence - there is no time carrier in the entire university's location. ”
"Zhu... what Mr. Zhu said makes sense."
Qiu Taoyu didn't know how to call Zhu Xiaoning correctly, so he simply used this title instead and explained to others:
"Don't forget how we entered the mission, in a time that didn't exist.
Therefore, the university in front of us, namely Wugui College, is bound to have irrationalities.
Maybe 'no time in the academy' is a wedge. ”
The last half of Qiu Taoyu's sentence was not complete, but everyone present could figure it out on their own.
The clerks entered the Ghostless Academy on December 32.
So should a college that did not exist in a time period also cease to exist?
Use supernatural means to enter the non-existent academy. If you want to escape, you must also use supernatural means.
This interpretation method is novel but reasonable, because it can better verify Ji Li's "main line conjecture".
Because the ghost academy represents the supernatural.
Sure enough, all clues and details serve the main line, and their irrationality weaves a reasonable and independent truth.
From this point of view, everyone's trust in Ji Li, which had previously collapsed, was reactivated.
Although this store manager is arbitrary and extremely conceited, he is really capable.
"By the way, Mr. Xue.
According to your description of what you just experienced, you were blocked by the man in black, so you failed, right? ”
Putting down Zhu Xiaoning's alarm clock aside, after all, it was Ji Li who should answer the question at eight o'clock in the evening, but he obviously made his attitude clear.
So Qiu Taoyu had no choice but to focus on the large-scale incident involving more than 20 corpses in the teaching building.
Zhu Xiaoning gave up her position and retreated to the outer circle.
Xue Tinghai had a violent temper and never concealed the unwillingness on his face. After hearing the words, he said in a muffled voice:
"To dare to do such a thing in the academy, it goes without saying how special the person behind the scenes is.
I had no hope of catching him, but at least I should get more information than an alarm clock.
Unfortunately, before we reached the rooftop, two men in black got there first.
The body is gone, the person behind it is gone, the scene has been cleaned up, only this alarm clock is left. ”
Qiu Taoyu remained silent for a long time after hearing this, and a sense of silence and depression filled the entire team.
She took out the exquisite cigarette case, flipped the lid and took out a slender women's cigarette. Just as she was about to take out the lighter, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said:
"We are going to check! Check to see if other teachers and students have time carriers." This clue was suddenly connected with Zhu Xiaoning's conjecture, which made everyone a little stunned at first.
But in an instant, I got positive feedback immediately.
Xue Tinghai took a step forward, put his hand on Qiu Taoyu's shoulder, nodded heavily and said:
"Lao Zhu and I thought so when we came back from the office building.
According to conjecture, Wugui Academy does not exist in the first place.
If except for our group, other teachers and students don’t have time carriers..."
"Then the person behind the scenes has an alarm clock, which means that he is also an 'outsider'!"
Chen Xu was the first to follow the idea and immediately gave the correct answer.
Only outsiders have time carriers, if this situation is true.
Then the person behind the scenes is not an enemy, but a friend!
If this situation can be confirmed, it will be of great help to subsequent tasks.
Because no matter how you look at it, the people behind the scenes have a lot more information than the store clerks.
……
"Dean, are these students from our school? Why can't I understand what they are talking about?"
Duan Yanyan, who was isolated and helpless, had become a frightened bird after experiencing a series of incidents in the cafeteria.
She didn't recognize any of the faces that had escaped from death, so she could only rely on Ji Li.
Her timid answer and reddish eye circles made her appear to be in a miserable situation, without any sense of weirdness about her status as a "counselor".
Ji Li patted her hand gently and did not answer the question. Instead, he walked forward and said to the clerks:
"The situation is almost over. That's it for the day. We will meet again at eight o'clock in the evening.
Qiu Taoyu, Mo Lan and other six people returned to the classroom for class, and conducted a teacher-student survey before eight o'clock to confirm the authenticity of the time carrier information;
Xue Tinghai and Chang Lai returned to their respective posts. You two don’t need to come to meet up tonight, just stay in the boys’ dormitory;
Luo Ge has taken his seat in the cafeteria.
Tonight at eight o'clock, I will meet with you on the football field. Xue, Chang, and Luo are listening through communicators.
The operation will be carried out at night and everyone will be notified at that time. Please do not violate the rules again before then. ”
Although everyone is dissatisfied with Ji Li's behavior, they will still obey his arrangements. After all, he is a well-deserved leader in this regard.
Qiu Taoyu rolled her eyes at Ji Li and said nothing. She took the lead in holding a cigarette and walked towards the teaching building.
Moran, Ping Wenbin and others also walked away one after another.
Xue Tinghai and Chang Lai nodded towards Ji Li, changed direction and left without saying anything else.
There were only three people left in the venue that was bustling just now.
As soon as there were fewer people, Duan Yanyan's nervousness was relieved to some extent, and she stood behind Ji Li honestly.
Although he no longer showed that sense of dependence, he was always very close to her.
Zhu Xiaoning watched everyone leave with calm eyes, put her hands in her pockets, and asked in a heavy nasal voice:
"What do you want to ask?"
Everyone left, leaving Zhu Xiaoning alone. He naturally understood what it meant.
Zhu Xiaoning has never been a resourceful person, but this does not mean that he is stupid.
On the contrary, as a low-level worker with a high school education, he is already very smart compared to ordinary people.
It's just that because he is the manager of the tenth store, he cannot avoid comparison with those at the same level.
But in the final analysis, as a veteran who has been in the position of store manager for half a year.
Zhu Xiaoning's current predicament is largely due not to individuals, but to various objective factors.
Ji Li took a deep breath of the cold air, looked past Zhu Xiaoning to the rows of tall buildings behind him, and asked in a low voice:
"Repeat your experience in E-2 again and tell the details about the 8th floor - the rooftop."
