Chapter 60 The team heading to Building D of the Teaching Building
The architectural style of this teaching building is completely different from the previous three buildings. If it were not connected by a covered bridge, it would be really difficult to connect it with the teaching building.
The reason why he thought this way was because the relevant rules immediately came to his mind.
The first article of the teaching building code: [There are three teaching buildings in total, namely Building A, Building B, and Building C. Each building has four floors. There are three classes on each floor. From low to high, they are Class A1, Class A2... and Class A12.
There are cross bridges connecting each floor between the buildings and they can be reached on foot. 】
And the second article that completely conflicts with the first article of the teaching building code:
【It is prohibited to go to Building D of the teaching building. 】
There are only three buildings, why do you have to specifically declare not to go to Building D?
Obviously, Building D exists, but usually it does not exist.
This kind of conflicting thing was something he subconsciously thought about last night.
This is also something he finally restrained from thinking about, and planned to put off thinking about it until he returned to the dormitory tonight.
However, he is no longer the "student novice" who just entered the school for a few hours yesterday. He now has rich experience of "walking along the river, getting his shoes wet and crawling back to the shore."
Not to mention that he almost didn’t find the toilet when he left the classroom to go to the toilet;
The first time he went to the cafeteria to eat, he was chased by a cuckold;
Needless to say, he almost walked to the beach along the road to the gym...
Not to mention that when he went to the student restaurant for dinner just now, he almost got a takeout delivered to his door...
In the words of the boss, it was an accident that he was alive.
But in Tian Bufan's words, he has gradually begun to "adapt".
His ability to pull himself back from those desperate situations did surprise him, but as Tian Bufan said, once he adapts, these surprises will become inevitable.
Hence, when he saw Building D of the teaching building, his first reaction was still fear and shock of the unknown.
But before he fell into some kind of unextricable vision or sank into some weird illusion, he was able to use his reason to suppress these terrible thoughts in advance, and then maintained a stable enough will.
He withdrew his attention from the phantom of the clock tower, which was full of Hanged Man style, and followed the corridor bridge and began to focus on Building C of the teaching building bit by bit.
The teaching code clearly states [No going to Teaching Building D]. The implication is that on the basis of the first rule, we are re-confirming and trying to tell students that Teaching Building D exists at some point.
"So Building D of the Teaching Building is probably related to the abnormal weather... It seems that when rain and fog come, and the only nearby building is Teaching Building D, those people will be forced to violate the rules for the next day and go to Building D of Teaching Building."
He remembered that Building D of the teaching building was hidden in thick fog, but the cobblestone road where he was now was only thin fog...
"In other words, unless the rain curtain enveloped the entire campus, the so-called "abnormal weather" has a relatively regional nature? "
"For example, the environment around Building D of the teaching building is experiencing abnormal weather, while the situation here is relatively normal...?"
Lin Yi also noticed that there seems to be a... clock tower over the teaching building D?
"Block Tower..."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.
The bell tower of S City University was an indescribable, outrageous, abstract, twisted and terrifying thing in his memory.
Even now, he has been avoiding thinking about anything related to it.
Because the existence of the bell tower is too strange.
As early as when he woke up from the blue bus, he had already seen the outline of a clock tower on the university campus in City S through the bus window.
But since he entered S City University, he has seen the teaching building, canteen, gymnasium, and even walked a lot on campus, but he has not even seen the shadow of the bell tower.
This is so weird.
It’s so weird that it’s unreasonable.
It’s so weird that it’s incredible.
But if reality is put aside, he has seen the clock tower once - just at noon today.
When he returned to the teaching building from the cafeteria, he seemed to see through the moss on the stairs of the teaching building a dark and weird world full of Gothic style.
The moon hangs in the night, with thick mist floating around. Under the pale moonlight, the dark-style castle reveals its hideous corner amid the thunder.
He remembered that there was a bell tower in that castle, and he remembered that the raven stopped by the bell tower, and he still remembered that when "he" turned around he saw a sentence:
【Welcome to the Art Building. 】
"Building D of the teaching building...is it the legendary art building that does not exist on the map?"
He thought about the female teachers and classmates who were out of place yesterday evening, the girl in a sailor uniform with a hairpin he met at lunch, and those who were not physical education students but took other channels.
If they came from the Art Building and took advantage of the unusual fog in the mountains at dusk to enter the normal world from a place that did not exist...then everything seems to become reasonable?
Although there were still many doubts, he was no longer willing to think about it any more, so he withdrew his gaze.
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be... a team on the covered bridge from Building C to Building D.
The team was too far away from him, and they were marching in thick fog and dim light. Lin Yi couldn't find it until the figure at the head of the team raised a lantern.
The weak light of the lantern, like a sharp blade, opened a field in the fog, leading the team from Building C to Building D of Teaching Building.
"It seems like a security guard and a chef?"
This idea came to Lin Yi's mind, but he didn't look much and quickly looked away.
At the same time, Wei Liang's waving palm flashed before his eyes.
"Why are you in a daze, Old Lin?" Wei Liang asked.
Lin Yi came to his senses and said, "Oh, it's nothing... just take a look."
“It’s pitch black, there’s nothing to see. Let’s go and sit in the classroom for a while, and then we can go back to the dormitory.” Wei Liang waved to Lin Yi and glanced in the direction Lin Yi was looking at from the corner of his eye.
The evening breeze dispersed the fog, and a covered bridge was faintly visible in the direction of Building C of the teaching building heading towards the mountainous area. However, the covered bridge only extended halfway before being broken, and there was nothing further forward.
But in the void, a light and shadow that was drifting like a will-o'-the-wisp and becoming increasingly dim were vaguely visible.
Wei Liang withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "Hey, let's go!"
"Okay!" Lin Yi nodded and walked towards Building B of the teaching building.
…
On May 7, 2023, at 18:40, Lin Yi and Wei Liang returned to the stairs of Class 2, Group B.
Lin Yi raised his head and glanced at Building B of the teaching building.
At this moment, there is a fog visible to the naked eye surrounding the teaching building. Under the illumination of the moonlight and lights, these airflows seem to have become substantial, clinging to the walls of the teaching building with claws and claws, spreading like ivy and tentacles on the floor and ceramic tiles, as if the teaching building has been wrapped up.
Looking up at the teaching building from his perspective, the four-story teaching building was brightly lit, but the lights became less visible as it went higher. In the mist above the fourth floor, there seemed to be vague shadows of castles in the air.
But after he blinked his eyes, he could no longer see those illusory shadows.
It's like a normal mind wandering.
He didn't pay much attention and came to the classroom with Wei Liang.
He reached out to hold the door handle of the classroom, but his eyes subconsciously glanced at the keyhole...
He didn't know if it had run out, but the ketchup was no longer flowing out of the keyhole at this time.
He raised his head and glanced at the door number of the classroom, and after reconfirming that it was Class 2 of Group B, he reached out and pressed the door handle and pushed open the classroom door.
The door of the classroom slowly opened, and Lin Yi felt the heavy force coming from the door, as if he had pushed open a heavy stone door.
The evening wind carried thin mist and blew into the classroom from the crack in the door, and the noise inside the door paused slightly.
Looks came from the lecture theater and fell on Lin Yi. When they found that it was only a student who opened the door, they continued to laugh and play.
Lin Yi walked in and crushed the mist into pieces.
He looked around and suddenly felt that he was not suitable for this classroom.
He remembered that there were about eighty people in the classroom last night, about fifteen of them were physical education students, and about twenty more were normal students like him, and the rest were all abnormal classmates.
After the incandescent light flashed and turned off, the number of normal students in the classroom was reduced to thirteen.
But now, the number of students in the classroom has not only recovered, but has even increased, reaching a total of almost ninety.
Lin Yi scanned the entire lecture hall and found that the students who were not right were sitting on the chairs like a group of inconspicuous sandbags under the incandescent light. Their bodies were deeply embedded in it. It was really easy to ignore them if you were not careful.
Lin Yi counted and found that there were thirty-eight of these students who were not right. Among them, sixteen had normal eyes but crazy expressions at the corners of their mouths, and the remaining twenty-two had empty eyes and dull expressions.
The presence of these students who were not in the right place was very low. If Lin Yi had not gone out of his way to find their location, it would have been difficult to tell them apart.
The dozen sports students lowered their heads and flipped through comic books, looking up at the pendulum clock on the wall from time to time.
Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang are obviously among them.
In the end, there were only thirty-eight normal classmates left. Thirteen of them had become much duller after experiencing this period of torture. They were in a trance and mechanically flipping through comic books. It seemed that they had not slept for a day or two.
Besides them, there were twenty-five classmates who were chatting lively.
He had not seen these twenty-five people yesterday, they must have just arrived today.
Wei Liang followed him into the classroom, glanced around briefly and said, "It seems that a carload of lucky people came today."
Lin Yi was slightly startled, and then understood that Wei Liang meant that the weather was good today, so these people arrived in the classroom very smoothly, without the same situation as they did yesterday.
He looked at the smiles on the faces of these people. Some of them were sitting lazily on chairs, while others were leaning directly on the edge, talking and laughing among themselves.
It seems that because they took an easy start and arrived at the teaching building, they were completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
There are still a few of these people tinkering with their cell phones, but it seems that there is more than just a signal problem in the campus. The cell phones are stuck there after being turned on and cannot be used normally at all. Even the most basic functions seem to be missing.
Not only mobile phones, but also some electronic equipment used for video recording seemed to have no effect - because there were several people not far away playing with some photography equipment, such as senior Vs on a certain website, well-known UP owners, etc. They brought a small and medium-sized group of people, maybe they wanted to shoot a documentary or something, and they were playing with their equipment relentlessly.
There was also a girl who was surrounded by many people. She was dragging big and small bags and was wearing a pink Lolita uniform. She was dressed cutely. She was clearly in her twenties, but she looked almost like a teenager.
These people are really here to play.
But when Lin Yi opened the door, most of them looked at him, but immediately started doing their own things.
The seats where Lin Yi and Wei Liang were sitting were already occupied by others, but there were no fixed seats in the lecture hall, so he didn't care about anything. He and Wei Liang just picked up their schoolbags and found a place with not many people to sit down again.
The position where they are sitting is very far away from the corridor window of the classroom, in the middle and rear area of the entire lecture theater.
If the entire classroom is a battlefield, then the position they chose is almost the kind where they can quickly rush down the lecture theater to get to the podium, and when they retreat, they can immediately get under the desk and stick to a corner. It is really a battleground for military strategists.
The most important thing is that it is far away from the classroom door, but can be reached by sprinting in a straight line. Moreover, the windows in the classroom corridors are also far away, which can effectively prevent their attention from being affected by things they should not see.
When he saw them entering the classroom, Xu Shunkang raised his head and gestured to them, and then immediately started flipping through the comic book on his hand.
When Lin Yi passed by him, he discovered that the comic book in Xie Huayang's hand was indeed the work of Teacher Oda. It seemed that Xu Shunkang did have a rich collection.
After sitting down, he immediately put his schoolbag at his feet, and then took out the recording booklet from his pocket.
After a day, he needs to record and update some notes.
Before he recalled and organized his thoughts related to what happened during the day, he glanced at the time on the dial and the time on the pendulum clock above the podium.
18:45.
Time is no problem.
He then organized his thoughts and then flipped through the small book from beginning to end.
