#257 - Decipher! The message in the comics!
Lin Yi turned back, puzzled.
“Don't be too careless. Confirm that the classroom next door is the correct one before you go out.”
“Okay.” Lin Yi replied, then pushed open the door and cautiously stuck his head out like a turtle, confirming that the classroom to the right of the door was indeed Class 2 of Group B before walking out.
“Old Lin, what were you doing in there? Why did you take so long?” Wei Liang had been waiting outside all along, like an eunuch waiting on his emperor. Seeing Lin Yi come out, he immediately went over to sniff him.
“Sniff— hiss, you're covered in perfume!”
“Sniff… tsk tsk, the scent of lilacs, the feeling of first love after the rain!” Wei Liang shook his head and wagged his tail, looking less like an eunuch and more like a paparazzi. “You guys wouldn't have been… hehehehe, hehehehe…”
As Wei Liang spoke, his eyes curved into two lewd crescent moons.
“Old Lin, you're really going all out to prove your XP!”
“Get lost!” Lin Yi waved his hand, his face dark. “What are you even talking about! I just chatted with her for a while!”
“The kind of in-depth exchange? Hey, hey, hey, don't go, don't go!” Wei Liang quickly followed. “Old Lin, you're not being fair. Yesterday, Li Huiyuan was following you around like a puppy, and today you're with Teacher Lin, hehehe… Can't you consider your brother's feelings?”
“If there's anything good like that, can you take me with you next time?”
Lin Yi pressed the classroom door handle, turning back speechlessly. “Okay, okay, I'll consider it, I'll consider it, alright! Just stick to me like glue during PE class, alright?”
“Okay!” Wei Liang's eyes lit up. “You're planning to spread the love evenly! You're even bringing me along, wonderful! Hehe, wonderful! It wasn't a waste for me to pick so many H comics for you to read!”
The moment he pushed the door open and entered, Lin Yi immediately felt Song Rentou's gaze. He didn't reveal any unusual expression and silently returned to his seat.
Throughout the entire process, he could feel Song Rentou's undisguised gaze locked onto his back.
The worst part was that the Mountain Man, who had previously been drawn to Song Rentou's attention, was now also casting a look of concern toward Lin Yi because of Song Rentou.
「This is really…」 Lin Yi returned to his seat speechlessly, pulled out the chair, and plopped down.
However, before researching H comics, he first glanced at the clock above the blackboard.
The current time was 9:13.
The homeroom teacher - 040 had left the classroom around 8:50, and then Song Rentou and he had gone to find her one after the other. His time might have been a little longer, around ten minutes or so.
「Wait…」 Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang, who was reading H comics beside him, and suddenly narrowed his eyes. 「I only went in for about ten minutes. How dare this guy Liang misunderstand me so much?」
With so little time, you look down on me that much?
Lin Yi curled his lips and scanned the classroom again.
The departure of the homeroom teacher - 040 also indicated that the morning roll call was over. Therefore, the number of people remaining in the classroom now was the number of trial students after one night.
Yesterday evening, there were a total of 34 trial students in the classroom (not including Li Huiyuan, there were 33). Among them, 8 had returned to the dormitory building. Of the remaining 25, 4 trial students had left the classroom and returned to the dormitory building with the high-sensitivity trial students whose names were called.
Now, out of those 12 people, apart from Lin Yi, Wei Liang, the Mountain Man, Song Rentou, and Hu Chuanzhang, only 3 people appeared in the classroom. It was unknown whether the remaining 4 were still alive.
Of the remaining 22 trial students, only 13 were left, a loss of nearly half. Several trial students that Lin Yi was somewhat familiar with had also disappeared.
Those few trial students were not ordinary. Lin Yi had seen them in the classroom on the day he entered the school, but he didn't expect that after experiencing just one night, there would be losses.
It should be known that those people were all expressionless, making themselves as numb as pseudo-human trial students.
Objectively speaking, the current situation of the trial students who disappeared in the classroom might be more dangerous than those who went to the dormitory and didn't return.
Because, leaving aside the dangerous factors and only talking about probability, those who disappeared in the classroom were basically killed by the pseudo-human trial students and dragged out of the classroom, while those who went to the dormitory might still be staying in the dormitory building…
Of course, if the dangerous factors were taken into account, the trial students who returned to the dormitory last night and were not present in the classroom now might have a fate worse than direct death…
Lin Yi opened his notepad and began to write:
“May 8th, night, there are a total of 34 trial students in the class (8+1+25), 18 PE students, pseudo…”
He paused, then crossed out the word “pseudo” and continued to write: “Non-38.”
This was a secret code that only he could understand.
“8” refers to the 8 high-sensitivity trial students;
“1” refers to Li Huiyuan, who went to the gymnasium and transformed into a PE student;
“25” refers to the 25 low-sensitivity or those who have not yet shown high sensitivity.
Then he continued to write:
“May 9th, morning, the class has 15 PE students remaining (9+6), 13 trial students, non…?”
After writing this, he closed the notepad and picked up an H comic to read.
As the gray fog invasion progressed, he increasingly felt the need to record the number of students in the class, especially as he experienced hallucinations more and more frequently. Such records were also very necessary to change from previous memories to current notes.
Who knows when he might remember something wrong, but no matter how he remembers it, as long as he remembers it, the notes can serve as his anchor to a certain extent.
…
May 9, X023, 9:05, Teacher's Office「Group B, Class 2」.
The homeroom teacher - 040 returned to her desk, opened the drawer, and took out a letter. She stroked the letter, looked at the seat Lin Yi had previously occupied, and muttered to herself: “039… your judgment was not wrong. This Lin Yi really has a big problem…”
“The company let him in… what exactly is the reason for that?”
“Even if there really is an arrangement, why hasn't even a hint of information been released?”
“With his sensitivity, he shouldn't even have been able to make it through last night…”
“If the security guard hadn't appeared in time, he would have already fallen… a polluted body with this sensitivity threshold…” The homeroom teacher - 040's eyes flickered, unable to imagine what kind of situation would develop if that happened.
“The company is just so confident in letting him in alone? Without even a bit of control measures?”
“What exactly are they thinking?”
She sighed faintly.
“Never mind, since there are no instructions, then I can only start from the perspective of the 「homeroom teacher」. I'll just do what I'm supposed to do. Perhaps this is their arrangement? To respond to all changes with constancy…”
She rested her cheek on her hand and thought for a long time, then opened Song Rentou's identity information, repeatedly comparing the two pages, and then picked up the piece of paper to look at.
Gradually, her brows gradually furrowed, and her eyes also narrowed.
“April…”
"This Song Dynasty person's enrollment time was in April, not during the Grey Mist invasion. How could there be this kind of feedback...? It's really strange?"
"The last Grey Mist invasion seems to have been in March..."
She got up and went to the bookshelf, her delicate fingers sliding along the book covers, finally stopping at a certain black-covered book.
"Found it."
She took out the book and indeed found a document clipped inside.
《HX - S1 · 72 · X023.3 . 2》
... ...
May 9, X023, 9:25 AM, Class 2, Group B.
Lin Yi kept flipping through H manga, but still couldn't find any clues.
After reading for about 10 minutes, he moved his neck to relieve the frustration of not making progress in finding clues in the manga, and then sighed helplessly.
At this time, Wei Liang was not in his seat, but had already gone to the bookshelf area to exchange for the second batch of books...
Wei Liang, holding the books back, looked at the manga that Lin Yi had spread out without turning many pages, and directly curled his lips without saying a word: "Lao Lin, are you really peeking at people through cracks? You only flipped through so few pages in half an hour?"
Wei Liang put down the book, reached out and grabbed Lin Yi's book, and used his hand to flip through the pages, and the pages flipped like countless jumping pictures "whirr whirr whirr".
"There are still so many, if you read like this, when will you finish?"
He threw down the book speechlessly, but found Lin Yi was stunned in place.
Lin Yi's eyes were full of countless pages that had just flashed by. When Wei Liang flipped quickly, he didn't see any illustrations, but the lines added to the pages seemed to jump out of the pages like virtual images. As the pages flipped "whirr", those lines, through visual persistence, seemed to outline a picture...
Lin Yi's mind seemed to explode like a little boy, and a clear and blank world exploded in an instant.
He seemed to understand!
He picked up the book and stuffed it to Wei Liang.
"What are you doing? ? ?" Wei Liang said speechlessly.
The newest novels are first published on 6 9 books bar!
"Flip it again."
"Huh?"
"Flip it again!"
"Are you doing quantum reading?" Wei Liang was doubly speechless, "If you want to do quantum reading, flip it yourself, I still have a few books I haven't read yet!"
Lin Yi gradually recovered: "Right, right, right... You're right, I'll do it myself..."
Almost forgot, my hands are also hands.
He quickly flipped through the pages.
"Whirr whirr whirr—"
Between the floating lines, it seemed that some information was indeed being deciphered, twisting and appearing in front of him.
It's just that this information is still too fragmented.
Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang in surprise, thinking, is Liangzi reminding him again?
"But since you need to flip through quickly to see the clues, why is Liangzi reading so slowly?"
"Is there any skill to it?"
So he stopped reading the book.
He looked at Wei Liang.
He watched every physical action of Wei Liang flipping through the H manga, watching every position Wei Liang's eyes were focused on, memorizing every gap in Wei Liang's book flipping, as if he was a human camera, piecing together and "photographing" every action of Wei Liang with his memory.
When Wei Liang finished reading the book, Lin Yi said: "Let me see."
"Huh?" Wei Liang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Lin Yi's pile of unread books, curled his lips, "Okay, okay, if you want to see it, I'll give it to you."
He said and handed it to Lin Yi.
After Lin Yi took the book, he directly activated the appearance of Wei Liang flipping the book that he had "photographed" in his mind, perfectly replicating Wei Liang's operation like a copy ninja, reading this H manga.
A strange thing happened.
Lin Yi seemed to have opened the correct decryption method. The first few pages were nothing special, but as he recorded the subsequent handwriting in his mind, a dynamic ink painting appeared in front of his eyes...
In the ink painting, the outline of a mountain and a building had already appeared, and Lin Yi recognized that it seemed to be the picture of the layer where the art building was located...
He seemed to see a picture of a siege. People on the city kept throwing things down, smashing down those strange things that crawled up from nowhere...
The picture disappeared quickly, and a line of text appeared in front of Lin Yi. At the same time, a voice seemed to read the content of the text:
"March 3, X023... We failed... But fortunately... They succeeded..."
The picture shattered with a "poof" and disappeared cleanly.
Lin Yi found that he had finished reading the book.
He looked up at the time.
9:42.
"So fast?!"
"This time is passing as fast as flushing a toilet..."
Suddenly, he really seemed to understand, and the lines he saw in the previous book immediately appeared in his mind, and then he combined them together in a similar way...
With a "poof~", some ink-like things appeared in front of him again, but this time there was no picture, only a line of text:
"March 9th... They seem to be looking for... that road... it can't be found by them... can't..."
The text dissipated, and Lin Yi looked at the time.
9:43.
"Only one minute this time?"
"Wait, I seem to know!"
Lin Yi opened a brand new book, carefully searching for every clue in the book. After finding all the lines, he stopped his gaze on a certain page, and then, as if in a daze, began to integrate the information in his mind...
As expected, he got new clues this time.
"May 2, X023... Something bad is going to happen... I feel... that person's aura... You must be careful... The invasion seems to be about to begin..."
Lin Yi, who had mastered the skills, immediately began to flip through other books.
"May 4, X023... There was a rainstorm last night... The night watchman stood in front of the cliff all night... Seemed to have discovered something..."
"May 5, X023... The pseudo-human art teacher went to the campus... and did not return..."
"... ..."
The information in each book does not exceed one sentence, and it seems to be a complete sentence, but each sentence is meaningful, but it is not clearly pointed out, it seems that the carrying capacity of the page is limited, and it seems... that there is still some information that has not been deciphered.
"May 3, X023... It's raining heavily... There are many night-walking species... We have held on again..."
"Pa!"
Lin Yi closed the pages of the last book on his hand, and then leaned heavily on the chair, looking at the patches of incandescent lights on the ceiling that had been extinguished, feeling that his eyes were a little blurry.
Thanks to book friends "usjdnshhs", "SNF", "steam08260", "Kindness Forever" for their rewards!!
