22: Chapter 10 Going to the Bathroom 22: Chapter 10 Going to the Bathroom “Huh?
Then how did you figure that out?
Don’t tell you’re a Xuann master who can predict whether they have issues or not!”
Lin Yi was speechless.
“You’ve been muttering nonstop the whole way, and now every other word is about taphysics?”
“Don’t look at them; you need to look at those who obviously aren’t normal.
Those who stare intently at the abnormal ones are generally normal.
Do you get what I’m saying?”
Wei Liang snapped his fingers and exclaid excitedly, “Old Lin, you’re damn genius!”
“Please, why do I feel like you’re playing dumb?”
“Uh…
is it that obvious?” Wei Liang tactically leaned back.
Lin Yi was at a loss for words, choked up; he thought for a bit and suddenly got up from his seat.
“What’s up?” Wei Liang imdiately asked.
Lin Yi looked toward the door Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang had left through and said, “I just thought of sothing.”
Wei Liang followed Lin Yi’s gaze, glanced briefly, and then smiled knowingly, “I’ve got it this ti!
Leave it to !”
After speaking, Wei Liang also rose from his seat and walked toward the bookshelf at the back of the circular classroom under Lin Yi’s watchful eyes.
“It’s not your turn, is it?” Lin Yi grabbed Wei Liang.
“Huh?
Didn’t you catch on to what Xu Shunkang ant, ready to stay up all night watching ‘H’ manga?” Wei Liang looked at the puzzled Lin Yi and asked, perplexed.
Lin Yi: “…”
“So…
that’s all you figured out?” He clenched his teeth, his tone strained and dry.
“Huh?
Isn’t it?” Wei Liang asked innocently.
Lin Yi made a “Tsk~nice!” expression and smacked his lips, “I’m a bit curious how you managed to safely spend seven days in this campus last ti.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Liang imdiately beca displeased, “Co on, Lin Yi, you can question my intelligence, but not my survival skills.
I’ve even been on a wilderness survival show before!”
Lin Yi noncommittally shrugged his shoulders.
The wilderness survival show Wei Liang ntioned actually involved him eating a protein-rich, bursting caterpillar and then, facing the close-up cara, giving a thumbs up and saying, “Delicious and super fragrant.”
But he ended up retching for three days afterwards, wishing he could toss his stomach into a washing machine for a spin.
So much so that now, the re sight of a caterpillar on bread made his stomach churn.
Lin Yi glanced at his watch.
20:55.
“Alright, no more ssing around, I’m off to take care of business.”
Wei Liang quickly said, “Hey, what are you going to do?”
Lin Yi replied, “I’m going to check outside the classroom.”
“Huh?”
“What ‘huh’?
We have five minutes before leaving the classroom is prohibited.
Are you coming?”
Wei Liang hesitated for a few seconds, thinking of being observed by thirty or forty odd people, and then said, “Yeah, of course I’m coming!
If we’re lucky and it stops raining and the mist thins a bit, we can head back to the dorm to sleep!”
If he had the chance, Wei Liang didn’t want to spend the night in the classroom at all.
So, the two of them walked down the steps of the circular classroom toward the door.
Dozens of gazes began to focus on them from the eyes of the thirty or forty other students in the classroom.
Lin Yi paused mid-step; in that mont, he suddenly empathically understood what it ant to have “a thorn in one’s side.”
He continued walking.
But just as he was about to reach the classroom door, the door handle was suddenly pressed down from the outside.
“Click!
Clack!”
The classroom door was opened from the outside, and the dense mist, like tentacles, seeped through the door crack into the classroom, though it only spread a tiny distance before dissipating.
The slightly fishy moisture mixed with the bone-chilling cold air hit Lin Yi, who was closest to the door.
“Whoosh—Whoosh—”
For a mont, Lin Yi’s mind conjured an image of the dark moon above and the sea waves hitting the rocks, with the sound of the waves ringing in his ears.
He shivered suddenly, quickly shook his head, and cleared his mind of the thought.
He focused his gaze outside.
The door had indeed been opened by soone.
The form teacher, dressed in a fitted professional outfit, was standing at the doorway, with one hand holding a folder and the other pushing the door.
eting Lin Yi head-on, the form teacher also paused slightly, her shapely legs in black silk instinctively stepping back half a step as her high heels clicked crisply.
Lin Yi imdiately directed his gaze from the black silk to an appropriate height, locking onto the chest badge on the form teacher’s chest.
“Form Teacher-B2-039.”
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The form teacher glanced at them, didn’t say much, and walked into the classroom.
Then she loudly announced, “After 21:00, students are not allowed to leave this classroom.
Those who need to, please go to the restroom now.”
“If you don’t go now, and leave the classroom after 21:00 without permission, the person and the campus will not be responsible for your safety and property.”
“Restrooms are next to Class B1 and Class B3.
Make sure there are no abnormalities with the restroom lights before entering, and co straight back after you’re finished.”
After giving these instructions, she then turned her attention to Lin Yi and Wei Liang, asking cautiously, “Students, were you just about to leave the classroom?”
“Ah…
we…” Wei Liang stamred.
Lin Yi said, “Teacher, we just wanted to get so air and go to the restroom.”
The form teacher stepped aside a bit and nodded, “Then hurry up and go, co back when you’re done.”
“Yes, Teacher.”
…
May 6, X023, 20:58.
Lin Yi and Wei Liang walked down the corridor of Building B in the Teaching Building, beside the steps leading down from the teaching building, but the thick mist seed to have invaded the whole world, giving the short stairs an endless appearance.
