Chapter 14 "Ignore"
At this moment, Lin Yi felt a cold air rushing up his spine, piercing straight into his brain like a sharp knife out of its sheath, and then turned into countless streams of cold air rushing out from his Tianling Cap.
His limbs instantly became extremely stiff, and his mind went blank. All the black and white threads in his mind disappeared, leaving only the face of his classmate.
When this classmate turned sideways, Lin Yi followed the class teacher's warning and did not even look at him.
But even though Lin Yi's eyes were fixed on the table legs in front of him, the visual field of the human eye and the imaging ability of the retina still showed him the face of his classmate in a relatively complete manner.
It was a dull and young face, covered with a thick layer of grease-like substance, as if it was formed by diluting a layer of white wax and then smearing it on the face.
In his field of vision, there was also a blurry and hanging black substance, which seemed to be long hair or something else.
And on that classmate's face, there seemed to be something reflecting Huang Jingjing's light.
Lin Yi stared at the desk legs in front of him with all his concentration. His body became extremely stiff due to the extreme trembling, and his whole body seemed to be integrated with the desk legs.
He held his breath attentively, not to mention not daring to take a breath, even the breath that was swimming in his nose, he wanted to let it roll two more times.
The classmate stared at Lin Yi dully for a while, then held the flashlight tightly and slowly straightened up.
Lin Yi's tense body slowly relaxed.
But just at this moment.
At this moment, the distance between him and Lin Yi was less than a fist!
He seemed to have noticed something, but he seemed not to be able to see Lin Yi. He just stared blankly at the position of Lin Yi's face, as if he wanted to be noticed by Lin Yi's gaze.
But Lin Yi's eyes were focused on the table legs from beginning to end.
Lin Yi's breath that he was about to exhale was held between his chest and throat. In just a few seconds, his face turned red and his neck became thick, and his whole body began to tremble subconsciously.
An indescribable feeling of terror spread in his heart, slowly igniting his desire for observation like a bonfire, inducing him to look at that face.
He just stared at the table leg. If his gaze was really as sharp as a knife, he would have carved the table leg into a round, straight and slender leg...
Just when Lin Yi was holding his breath until his eyes were bloodshot and his mind was about to lose consciousness, the classmate still refused to give up and stretched out an arm that was as pale as plaster and reached towards where Lin Yi was.
Lin Yi's eyes are about to pop out, but once a person reaches a desperate situation, all he can do is become crazy.
Everything seemed to slow down extremely slowly, and countless rules were rolling in Lin Yi's mind...
Student rules, teaching building rules...
"Damn, what else is there?!"
"Yes! The words of Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang!"
h "And...the words of the head teacher!"
Hence each sentence formed a strong storm in Lin Yi's mind. At this moment, he did not feel tired at all, but felt determined and refreshed.
Just when the classmate's hand was about to reach his shoulder, he made an extremely crazy move!
His eyes moved down the legs of the table and fell to the ground.
The composite floor tiles have messy patterns, like the graffiti of a child.
At this moment, the light and shadow above his head intertwined, and the classmate's hands grabbed him back and forth at his original position, and finally withdrew angrily after grabbing to no avail.
"Sure enough! It sure works!!"
Lin Yi's heart was beating wildly, but his body was already trembling from the extreme suffocation. Despite this, he still held on to the legs of the desk.
His knuckles tended to turn white because of the excessive strength.
But his excitement surpassed everything else. He was so excited that it was like giving himself a shot of chicken blood, pushing himself past the limit of his physical strength.
Because so far, he finally got the first positive feedback from the rules!
Xu Shunkang told him before leaving:
【Abide by the rules is a means to achieve self-protection. 】
And the statement about evening self-study in the student code is:
【During this period, if you notice any strange noises or see strange figures outside the window, please ignore them, especially if they call you outside the dormitory room or classroom. 】
He has recited the student rules in his mind countless times, but none of them talked about how to deal with the situation just now.
Is this a matter of student code?
Apparently not.
The student code summarizes the emergency situations they may encounter into a dozen or so simple items, and the situation just now is obviously included in this item.
If there are any strange noises in the classroom, the best thing to do is to "ignore" them.
And the few warnings issued by the head teacher before leaving:
【Don't close your eyes!
Don’t look around or look up!
Don’t communicate with anyone!
Ignore any noise! 】
These warnings are all expansions of the concept of "ignore".
Whether it is the head teacher or Xu Shunkang, they all seem to know more than themselves, but they seem to have scruples, so they can only remind themselves in this way.
"Is it because he is afraid of saying too much and making people think too much in this regard?"
Lin Yi felt that his guess was correct.
It is okay to think, but you cannot think about phenomena that don’t seem right, let alone try to understand something that seems weird.
The several times he felt intense fatigue before was because he thought about these things.
"So whether they can see me has something to do with whether I can see them or not?"
"Or... this rule is written based on some kind of "underlying logic"?"
"This series of practices, including "ignoring", are all based on a certain most basic "law"."
This idea emerged subconsciously in his mind.
At the same time, he subconsciously turned his attention to the classmate who had just walked away...
At the critical moment, he used a soul torture to shatter the attention he was about to put on the classmate——
"Which one is better, the Bare Legs Cult or the Silk Stockings Cult?"
"The Silk Stockings Cult is absolutely invincible, but if we face certain special situations in the Bare Legs Cult..."
"emmm..."
As the long thighs and stockings legs gradually emerged in his mind, Lin Yi felt that the original feeling of suffocation and discomfort was being relieved.
"Huh——"
"Okay, it's okay..."
Hearing that his classmates seemed to start to turn around and leave, Lin Yi breathed a long sigh of relief. The nerves that were so tight that they were about to break finally relaxed slowly at this moment.
He suddenly understood why comics, especially H comics, were placed on the bookshelves of the circular lecture theater...
When it comes to having to change the direction of thinking, Sese’s core driving force is above all else.
"But having said that, what do girls think about at this time?"
Lin Yi shook his head, this question was beyond the scope of the question.
He regained his mental strength and felt the pulse of the earth like Voldemort. He grabbed the two table legs with both hands, as if he was a big tortoise nailed to the floor tile by the desk.
Suddenly, a strange sound appeared on the desk above him, as if a sandbag hit the foot of the desk.
A heavy force was transmitted along the desk to the corner of the desk. Lin Yigang's muscles that had just relaxed suddenly tightened again. He gripped the legs of the desk tightly, trying his best to control the desk from being moved.
“What’s going on now?!”
“Is the table going to be turned over?”
“It’s fun, right?”
He gritted his teeth, but the desk suddenly stopped moving.
Just when Lin Yi was a little confused, a huge black shadow slid down the corner of the desk and hit him in front of him with a "dong" sound...
It was the little genius who held the portable flashlight in his hand at the beginning.
He had lost his vital signs, and only the whites of his eyes were left, and his twisted face was etched with intense fear and despair...
He fell to the ground, staring at Lin Yi with his huge, pale eyes, as if to release all the terror he felt before his death.
But Lin Yi didn't see it.
Having understood some of the rules of survival, he had already stared at the patterns on the ground before the little genius's body fell down.
· Terror is like a tide, he is like a rock, letting the darkness add to his body and remain unmoved.
But the body of the little genius began to slide slowly...
It turned out to be the classmate from earlier, holding the little genius's foot in one hand and the portable flashlight in the other, moving slowly in the classroom.
He was like a lawful evil night watchman, randomly shining beams and dragging corpses around the classroom.
Ah————
Some students who were hiding under the desks accidentally saw the miserable condition of the little genius. Unable to withstand such suppressed fear, they screamed in agony.
At this time, a difficult voice came out of the classmate's throat:
"You... saw me!"
The extremely hoarse voice was like someone talking with sand in his mouth, and it sounded as if there were worms crawling on the body.
dedication's seats have bounced back one after another, and thin and upright figures have also left their seats one after another.
XMay 6, 2023, 22:43.
Class 2, Group B, teaching building, in a dark classroom.
· One after another, the figures started to roam in the dark classroom. Occasionally, a beam of light would shine through, pulling their shadows straight on the ground.
Thick fog roared in from the open classroom door, causing the pages of books on the bookshelf to turn and rattle.
The night is getting deeper, the fog is getting thicker, thunder outside the window tears the night sky, and the figures in the classroom are moving and walking dully, like a forest of steles.
…
Lin Yi just lay on the floor tiles, staring at the texture of the ground, and used his ears to find the beating sound of the hands of the quartz watch among the screams.
He silently counted every beat of the pointer, and time seemed to be flowing through his fingertips.
Until the pointer jumped for the 1358th second, the incandescent lamp in the classroom, which had been extinguished for a long time, suddenly flashed with a "bang", and then slowly went out with a "Zi" sound.
The sound of an iron chain rubbing against the ground was heard in the corridor outside the classroom.
"Dong! Dong! Dong..."
Heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor of the classroom.
A figure as tall as an iron tower was reflected on the frost-covered window glass.
"It's the security guard!" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, but he remained still.
The figure of the security guard moved slowly on the window glass, from the back of the classroom to the door of the classroom, and then stopped.
The sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground stopped as the footsteps stopped.
But the next moment, the iron chain began to slide on the ground quickly, and Lin Yi's mind made up the picture of the security guard with a burly figure like a mountain waving the iron chain.
The iron chain entered the classroom with a powerful breaking sound. The next moment, Lin Yi heard the sound of the iron chain being wrapped around some tough object.
“Get out!”
The security guard's thick and deep voice sounded like thunder on a summer night. He exerted force suddenly, and the iron chain pulled the entangled object out of the classroom!
After that, the classroom door slammed shut with a "bang!"
As the classroom door closed, the two worlds seemed to be cut off with a knife.
The last scene reflected on the glass was the security guard rolling down the steps holding something dark.
The whole world seemed to be quiet.
Those students in the classroom who felt something wrong were also stunned in place.
Only a certain incandescent lamp on the ceiling was left, "Boo...here...boo...here..." flickering on and off.
Not long after, the incandescent lights in the classroom flickered one after another.
As the incandescent lights came back on, the light gradually returned to the classroom, and the fog that filled the floor tiles disappeared quickly as if it had encountered a nemesis.
Lin Yi stared at the ground, observing the frequency of changes in light and shadow on the ground very carefully, in order to judge the brightness of the incandescent lamp in the classroom.
When the lights stopped flickering, Lin Yicai slowly climbed up from the ground. His eyes rose from the floor tiles to the table legs again, observing the movements in the classroom with the corner of his eye.
But because he had been pulled almost three times by that strange classmate not long ago, even if he felt that the classroom was safe, he still had no intention of leaving his desk.
He was waiting to see if any idiot dared to stand out.
Then he heard a voice next to him that sounded like an amnesty: "Old Lin... are you okay? You just scared me to death!"
