Chapter 13 The lights in the classroom went out
"Oh my god!"
The fierce knocking on the door seemed to hit Wei Liang's body. He screamed in surprise, and the soles of his feet seemed to have been smeared with butter for 82 years, and he came to Lin Yi's side.
But as soon as he came over, he saw Lin Yizheng walking quickly from the seat row.
"Why did you come out again?" he asked doubtfully.
Lin Yi pointed to the back row of the classroom and motioned for Wei Liang to rush over with him.
"Go over there!"
Wei Liang followed Lin Yi's instructions and suddenly realized Lin Yi's intention.
"Once the lights in the classroom start to flicker, you must squat under the desk as soon as possible and hold on to the legs of the desk and chair!"
However, the main part of the circular lecture theater is not designed with desks. During class, the table mats folded in the handles of the chairs are opened to serve as desks.
So in theory, the desks at the back of the classroom on the bookshelf can be called "desks" in the true sense.
Sure enough, when Lin Yi rushed over, the only twenty or so people left in the classroom who he defined as "normal students" also gave up reading immediately and ran towards the desks with their heads lowered.
But those students who had something wrong embedded in the seats still showed no signs of it. Instead, as the incandescent lamp flickered, the excitement in their eyes became more and more intense.
Another incandescent lamp flickered.
The third, fourth...
The incandescent lamps flickered one after another.
When all the incandescent lights started to flicker, the huge circular lecture theater seemed to turn into a dance hall with only black and white.
Lin Yi and Wei Liang rushed under the adjacent desks, and then subconsciously grabbed the same table leg.
Then the two of them retracted their hands as fast as lightning and said in unison: "Here you go, give it to you."
"Oh, you're so polite, you can grab me and I'll grab you, let's move my hands up and down!" Wei Liang waved his hand, first grabbed Lin Yi's hand and then pressed him to the table leg.
Lin Yi also had time to argue with him about this, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the light in the classroom seemed to have become a little dimmer...
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the ceiling, only to see that one of the light bulbs had gone out!
"Damn, you're desperate, you still dare to raise your head!" Wei Liang really wanted to push down Lin Yi's head, but his hand was too short to reach it.
"Don't panic, there should be no problem until the lights are all out..." Lin Yi comforted, and added, "And I only took a look."
"Aren't you afraid that it will go out in an instant?" Wei Liang said silently.
"This should be a process, right?" Lin Yidao.
However, before he finished speaking, the sound of "Boom! Boom! Boom..." sounded from the ceiling one after another. The lights were turned off a bit fast, as if being shot by a machine gun, but there were still rules to follow.
"Ah...is it faster?" Lin Yi opened his mouth.
ifies）的东西。
Lin Yi wanted to say something more, but Wei Liang stopped him with an angry glare: "Stop it! Old Lin, stop fucking with me!"
"Don't panic, if my calculations are right, there will still be thirty seconds before they are all wiped out..." Lin Yi defended, "Time is enough."
"Do you believe what I say?" Wei Liang curled his lips.
"I believe it."
"..."
While he was talking, Lin Yi quickly cast one last look at the circular lecture theater.
“One, two, three, four, five…”
With a quick glance, he took in all the motionless classmates in the classroom. However, due to time constraints, he had no time to count them when he scanned the last few people, but he had already accurately counted the number of people who had something wrong with them to between thirty-five and thirty-seven.
"Stop looking!" Wei Liang hit Lin Yi's back hard, his voice was urgent and worried, "Hurry up and keep an eye on the table legs!"
"18." Lin Yi said, but he quickly withdrew his gaze for fear that Wei Liang would be too worried.
When he took it back, he found that Wei Liang, who was squatting next to him, was holding the table legs tightly with both hands. With the serious expression on his face, he looked like a warrior in a temple holding incense and bowing to a certain god.
The only disharmonious part is that this warrior squatted under a square table, making the originally majestic and solemn atmosphere suddenly look silly and cute.
At this moment, the knocking on the door outside the classroom attracted everyone's attention.
> A fierce knocking sound came from the classroom door, and the classroom door began to tremble violently. It didn't take long for such fluctuations to be transmitted to all the walls in all directions of the classroom.
The ground of the classroom also trembled, and the incandescent lamps on the ceiling swayed jinglingly, like a series of wind chimes being swept around by the raging wind.
The entire classroom was dark, with only sporadic light spots squeezed in from the windows.
Because of the temperature difference between inside and outside, the windows of the classroom were covered with a layer of white frost, and the raindrops hit the windows, leaving scratches on them.
The cold air is spreading from outside the window to the inside of the window, and an indescribable strange feeling is gradually penetrating the walls of the classroom.
Lin Yi and Wei Liang had long since given up teasing each other, and their faces were full of solemn expressions.
Wei Liang pulled on his peaked cap and put away his hoodie, as if he was shrinking his whole body into a non-existent iron shell.
The shaking in the classroom became more and more intense, until Lin Yi understood at this moment.
The teaching building is not a safe zone, but the classroom... is not either!
"The classroom is just a relatively safe area at a certain time!"
"And this time obviously does not include now!"
"After tonight, we must find a way to return to the dormitory tomorrow!"
When the thick fog climbs over the high wall, and when the tide soaks the iron cage, all the protection will become fragile yellow paper, and the dim light and shadow will suddenly bring everyone back to the wild ancient times.
Under the darkness, those who sleep in the day and night begin to show their fangs.
Just when fear began to radiate from all the students who cowered under the desks, the classroom door suddenly stopped being beaten so scary.
The classroom, which originally seemed to be tossed about by strong winds and waves, gradually stabilized.
The sound of exhalation appeared one after another in the darkness, and everyone seemed to be silently relieved.
"Old Lin..." Wei Liang made a weak sound like a mosquito, "Is it safe?"
But Lin Yi did not answer him, but glared at him fiercely.
"Idiot, don't communicate with anyone!"
Wei Liang reacted instantly, closing his mouth, shrinking his neck and staring at the table legs.
Lin Yi's expression became more solemn.
"Something's wrong!"
"It's so wrong!"
The foreplay has been going on for twenty minutes, how could it be rushed later?
Those thirty or so classmates haven’t made any move yet!
Lin Yi concentrated on holding his breath, his body was tense, and he did not dare to relax at all.
Sure enough, as if in response to Lin Yi's serious attitude, a clear voice sounded in the darkness.
The deadbolt of the classroom door was turned.
Someone opened the door outside.
"Click! Click! Click..."
The lock tongue turned round and round, and the crisp sound was like a wheel running over everyone.
"Click... click!"
When the last turn of the lock bolt was completed, the slowly pressing door handle seemed like a heavy mountain, weighing on the hearts of everyone in the classroom.
The door of the classroom was slowly pushed open from the outside.
It was as if the door of a sealed space capsule had been opened, and a forest-white mist poured in from outside the door.
Without the illumination of the incandescent lamp, the thick fog climbed and spread on the ground like tentacles. The cold and damp breath penetrated in with a little bit of icy wind, and the entire classroom seemed to have been moved into a cellar.
The sound of stones rubbing against the ground appeared in the classroom.
There seemed to be something moving in the classroom wrapped in thick fog, as if the dementor in "Harry Xter" was dragging stones on the ground...
Lin Yi glanced at the dial of the watch with difficulty.
The classroom without light was so dark that it was very difficult for him to see the scale on the dial clearly.
22:00.
「Ten o'clock sharp...」
“It’s May 6th now. It’s at least five o’clock before dawn in S city, right? There are still seven hours, do we have to spend it this way?” In the end, I lost in a minute... When I got up, my legs were shaking and I couldn't control my movements. I felt uncomfortable all over, and I felt like my blood couldn't even reach my brain...
What if I squatted in a squatting position under the table for 7 hours... Is it really possible?
He shook his head and cursed himself for being crazy. At this damn moment, how could he be qualified to discuss whether the posture should be squatting or sitting on the toilet?
At this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared in the classroom, catching Lin Yi off guard.
He glanced at his watch subconsciously.
22:02.
"Two minutes have passed..."
"I have to say that a few blind thoughts can really kill time. If you really want to do this, maybe you can really get by."
"Wait!! Where did this light come from?!"
He subconsciously wanted to follow the light and look over, but he didn't even need to search for it, and he saw a light source under another table not far away.
It turned out to be a classmate who huddled under the desk and turned on a portable flashlight!
Lin Yi stared, causing his thinking to short-circuit for a moment.
He never imagined that he could meet such a young genius in such a randomly assigned classroom!
At first glance, you are prepared!
At this moment, Lin Yi subconsciously wanted to use this hard-won light to take a look at the classroom environment at the moment, but at the same time, he immediately remembered the warning from the head teacher before leaving.
When the lights in the classroom start to flicker, the first step is to squat under the desk and grab the legs.
Then neither close your eyes nor look at anything except the patterns on the ground or the table legs!
When he thought of the sentence "Don't look back" in the student code of conduct, Lin Yi instantly came to a shocking inference.
"That thing in the mist has come to the classroom!"
"The purpose of not looking around is to prevent me from seeing it...or is it because of something else?"
Some thoughts emerged in Lin Yi's mind.
But now he has learned his lesson.
Since the thought that shouldn't have come at this time, well...
He focused his eyes on the table legs, and then let the Black Silk God Cult and the White Silk God Cult fight in his mind.
Sure enough, after thinking this, the whole person suddenly felt refreshed, and the discomfort that diffused in the surrounding environment also faded a lot.
However, the disadvantages of self-paralysis soon began to appear.
In the dead silence of the classroom, a dull slapping sound suddenly sounded.
This is the sound made by a folded chair springing back to its original position.
Obviously, a strange classmate left his seat.
This classmate started to walk slowly in the classroom with heavy steps. The rubber soles rubbed against the floor tiles, making a sound like sandpaper.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer...
A foot wearing old-fashioned sneakers appeared in front of Lin Yi, less than an arm's length away from his face.
Then the other foot.
His two feet were rubbing against the ground in front of him in a very stiff manner. The sound of "chichi" was like thousands of ants crawling across Lin Yi's body, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Lin Yi felt a strong sense of discomfort and a strange feeling like a tide in his heart, but at this moment he held his breath and stared at the table legs in front of him, using his beautiful black and white legs to constantly kick away all the thoughts that emerged in his mind.
Until the owner of these legs disappeared from the corner of his eye.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, for just ten seconds, but his chest seemed to have been filled with dust for centuries.
At this moment, some sudden noises caused his half-spitted breath to get stuck in his throat.
"Eh? Hey! Hey!! Hey hey hey..."
With the sound of this sound, the beam of light from the portable flashlight suddenly began to sway chaotically like an eel.
With a burst of noise, the tables and chairs were pushed away, and the owner of the portable flashlight seemed to be picked up. Then he didn't know what he saw, and he let out an "Ah!" filled with intense fear.
At the same time, the portable flashlight fell to the floor tiles with a thud, and the dazzling beam of light pierced out like a sharp sword, splitting open the dark classroom.
Hand in the middle of the journey, a bright light passed over Lin Yi's face. He subconsciously wanted to squint and turn his head, but as soon as his neck moved a little, his whole body suddenly froze there.
At the extreme range of the corner of his eye, there appeared a black shadow that could not be dispersed by the beam of a portable flashlight!
A classmate has been standing next to the desk where he was hiding for some time!
Lin Yi froze in place, breathing hard to take back all the weak air he had just exhaled.
There was a sound from the classmate's body, and then a palm appeared in Lin Yi's field of vision.
The classmate bent down at an extremely slow speed, reached out and picked up the flashlight.
The whole process is like a puppet on strings.
Just when he was about to pick up the flashlight, his head turned slightly sideways along with the inertia, and he saw Lin Yi squatting under the desk.
