Day of Imprisonment

The female teacher standing at the school gate was clearly surprised.

She was tall, at least 1.7 meters, and wearing high heels made her appear taller than the surrounding women, giving her a 'crane standing among chickens' kind of feel.

Professional women's attire and a simple, neat ponytail gave her a special charm, but unlike the other teachers at the school gate, she seemed more silent.

Even, somewhat weary.

However, this emotion was hidden extremely deep, and most people wouldn't notice it.

If it weren't for her outstanding appearance and figure, no one would probably pay attention to her.

"Excuse me, what did you say?" the female teacher asked, looking at Luo Xi with scrutiny in her eyes.

"We two want to challenge your level scene, do we need to sign a contract?" Luo Xi asked with a serious face.

Wu Rui, who had followed behind, heard it clearly this time and was also startled.

What was Luo Xi doing?

Could this kind of thing be said to just anyone?

Or was Luo Xi thinking that this female teacher was the administrator of the level scene?

If so, how did he figure it out?

Wu Rui didn't dare to interrupt.

Although she was puzzled, after clearing these two rounds of scenes, she had developed an almost unconditional trust in Luo Xi.

If Luo Xi said it was, then it was most likely true.

The female teacher was only stunned for a second or two, and then her eyes stabilized.

A smile appeared on her face, but there was no change in her eyes, as if the upper and lower halves of her face were temporarily pieced together, belonging to two different people with two different emotions.

"There is no need to sign a contract, because my scene has a high degree of freedom and is very safe.

"What are the scene attributes?"

"Puzzle solving, games, activity challenges."

"Can you explain it in detail?"

"No, you need to explore on your own.

Another thing to note is that my scene has no regional constraints, and there are no survival or killing rewards, because I am different from other administrators," the female teacher smiled at this time, and her words seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"Understood, thank you!" Luo Xi smiled, and then asked: "Um, can I ask what your name is?"

"Me?" The female teacher still smiled very skillfully: "My name is Liang Yunshi, you can call me Teacher Liang."

"Are you really a teacher at this school?"

"Absolutely!"

"Teacher Liang, do you know Wang Shuting in Class Two, Grade Three? Her father is as busy as you are and can't get away, so he asked us to come and see the child."

Liang Yunshi was stunned for a moment, obviously judging whether what the other party said was true or a lie.

Then she quickly made a judgment.

These words were meaningless and would not have any impact on the Soul-Retriever's challenge scene.

So, it should be the truth.

Moreover, even if it was a lie, deceiving herself would not make any sense.

"I know her, she is the study commissioner in the class.

You can go directly to her.

The specific location of the class is related to the social practice content assigned to them.

Class Two, Grade Three, is doing handicrafts and is on the first floor of the teaching building."

"Thank you!" Luo Xi turned around.

"Good luck!" Liang Yunshi said.

At this time, Luo Xi and Wu Rui walked into the school gate.

Inside, it was really lively, with many people.

Some places were hanging flags, seemingly using simple inflatable tents to prop up a simulated complex escape passage, with the words 'Fire Drill' written on them; some were a group of students wearing sportswear and sneakers, led by several male teachers, walking towards the back of the school, and some were simply setting up stalls on the spot, selling stationery and books.

"Can these achieve the goal of allowing children to practice in depth?" Luo Xi muttered.

"Who knows, anyway, the result is that the school has given an explanation to the superiors and parents, the parents are also satisfied, and the children are having a great time.

It's enough for all three parties to be satisfied... By the way, Luo Xi, how did you figure out that the female teacher was the administrator?" Wu Rui was very curious about this question.

She still felt a little unbelievable.

She and Luo Xi came together, but when they arrived, Luo Xi recognized the administrator hidden in the crowd at a glance?

If so, it meant that this school was also a level scene.

They actually came in so easily, leisurely, and without any preparation?

"She was quite obvious," Luo Xi replied.

"Obvious?

Why can't I see it?" Wu Rui recalled, she was very sure that the female teacher had no other special features besides being beautiful and tall.

"Actually, she discovered us first," Luo Xi said at this time: "And she is standing at the school gate, which may be part of the scene rules.

Perhaps, it is because this scene does not restrict Soul-Retriever's entry at all, so she will stand at the gate, for example, whether you can see that she is the administrator will affect the subsequent exploration in the scene, and even the final clearance rating..."

"But she didn't say anything," Wu Rui recalled and said.

"She did, for example, the scene has a high degree of freedom, is relatively safe, unless you participate in specific game projects..."

"Is that all?

To be honest, I don't think it's particularly important whether this information is obtained or not."

"Indeed, then change your thinking and perspective, just like what I said just now, don't consider it from the perspective of 'what can the Soul-Retriever get from discovering the administrator standing at the door', but instead put yourself in the other party's shoes and think from the perspective of 'why does the administrator stand at the door'.

Perhaps, there will be different answers, for example, if I were the administrator, I might need to record all the Soul-Retrievers who enter my scene, or... make a mark!"

"...You mean?" Wu Rui understood Luo Xi's meaning after only thinking about it slightly.

"First of all, we must determine one point, the administrator has the administrator's standards of conduct, putting aside subjective emotions and prejudices, you can simply regard the administrator as a 'profession', this profession has their assessment standards, there are things they cannot do, and there are things they must do, just like Zhou Xinpeng in Shijia Apartment Building, he violated the rules and actively attacked the Soul-Retriever, for this reason he was killed by some unknown force, and then a phone call came, the other party claimed to be the administrator Bai Cai... From these, we can roughly infer the administrator's system, that Bai Cai is Zhou Xinpeng's superior, and above the superior, there may be superiors, so it seems that the administrator's system is also very complicated."

"..."

"Don't always have this expression, I won't say anything extra, you just need to understand that Teacher Liang is standing at the school gate, not because she is bored, but because it has a special meaning and purpose, and looking at her appearance, she doesn't seem to be enjoying it, on the contrary, she shows repression and severe depression, which just shows that standing at the school gate is part of her job content, if she doesn't comply, even if she is not punished, it will affect her work rating."

"So you think she is observing all the Soul-Retrievers entering the scene?"

"Not just observing, but also recording, and... marking.

Maybe I am more sensitive, as I just told you, she discovered you and me first, and then I discovered her, to be more specific, I feel that she did something to me, maybe implanted something unknown."

After Luo Xi finished speaking, Wu Rui felt a chill on her neck and immediately felt uncomfortable all over, as if there were bugs crawling on her body.

She swiped her clothes and turned to look at her shoulders and ankles.

"You don't think the mark is visible, do you?"

After Luo Xi finished speaking, he had already walked towards the teaching building.

The lobby on the first floor was currently filled with many students and parents.

There were many small tables placed here, and most of them were concentrating on making handicrafts.

Some were making lanterns, some were painting fans, and some were making clay sculptures...

Luo Xi found the location of Class Two, Grade Three, and he almost immediately found a primary school student in the crowd.

Wang Shuting.

Her appearance was exactly the same as the photo on Lao Wang's desk.

At this moment, she was focused on making clay sculpture works.

Compared to Wang Shuting, Luo Xi was more concerned about a few people sitting at a table not far away.

One of them was holding a clay sculpture part with an extremely nervous expression, seemingly considering how to install it on the already built clay figure.

It was very obvious that the other party was covered in sweat, as if what he was holding in his hand was not a piece of clay, but a bomb that could explode at any time.

"Let's go take a look."

Luo Xi walked over, and after approaching, the two of them immediately alarmed the few people over there.

And just as they approached within a range of about three meters, suddenly, Luo Xi felt that everything in front of him had changed.

The teaching building was still the same teaching building, but the surrounding noisy crowd had disappeared.

There was only the table in front of him, and those few people who looked very nervous.

And the clay figure on the table that looked quite funny before, at this moment, had turned into a half-bloody corpse, the chest of the corpse was completely open, revealing the dense ribs and the internal organs inside.

But it was not right to say it was a corpse, because this corpse, which looked like it should be dead, was actually tilting its head, looking at the person sitting in the chair opposite with a vicious and mocking expression, trembling all over, and so nervous that they were about to collapse.

The next moment, the corpse spoke.

"Hurry up, time is running out!"
