Chapter 17 Flowers on the Scorched Earth Campus (7)

Yin Luming lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

Sure enough, Director Jiang was also the "monster" in this dream.

Unlike the previous zombie students, Director Jiang did not show any obvious sense of "inhumanity" from the very beginning.

As the NPC who initially released the mission, he has been ignored by the players all the time—for example, Ding Pei'an came to the office building a few times, but he never suspected that there was something wrong with Director Jiang.

Even Yin Luming didn't think about this before talking to Director Jiang.

Until he saw the pendant that was said to be made by Qi Xiaobei's parents, and saw the burn marks on the corner of the wooden Buddha statue.

He tentatively asked, and learned that Director Jiang would stay in the office building at night—where did Director Jiang go when the fire happened last night, or tonight?

Did they go home early, or... were they buried in the sea of ​​fire together?

From the first meeting with Director Jiang, Director Jiang has a strong smell of cologne.Before, Yin Luming always thought that this was Director Jiang's personal habit... Now thinking about it, maybe it was to cover up something.

For example, the same as Qi Xiaobei, the scorched smell of the human body being burned by the flames.

Yin Luming first looked at the drawer that Director Jiang had just opened.

In addition to the lesson plans, pens, and materials, it is the pendant that was just taken out, nothing special.

He frowned and scanned around, but didn't find any flowers.

It can be seen from the remedial tasks that there is a representative flower in the school, whether it is a student or a teacher.

What about Director Jiang?

Yin Luming made sure that there were no flowers in the office, so he picked up the illustrated book and looked over.

Yin Luming: "..."

What is this skill?

For the sake of it not consuming points, Yin Lumeng still reluctantly complained.

He tried to release Director Jiang, and activated this skill.

Director Jiang reappeared in the office, frowning: "Mr. Yin, I speak directly, don't take offense - as a young teacher, you should set a good example for the students. The third year of high school is now at the most critical stage of life , but you blatantly bring this kind of picture book to work, what if the students see it? Not only will your image be damaged, but the students may also have their minds fluttering - the study of Class [-] and Class [-] in high school is already very problematic Now, how can Mr. Yin hold back? Furthermore, although the school does not have clear requirements on the dress of teachers, I think teachers are serious positions. Except for physical education teachers, everyone should wear formal attire—at least not pajamas, right? Look at..."

Yin Luming: "..."

Ok he got it.

This skill is the modern high school version of "Master, don't read anymore".

Yin Luming coughed, and immediately interrupted Director Jiang's instruction: "Director Jiang, I still have to prepare lessons, so I'll take my leave first."

He decisively turned around and left.

Chi Xi outside saw Yin Luming running out in a hurry, and was a little surprised: "Brother Yin, what's wrong?"

Yin Luming was silent for a while, and then said: "It's nothing, Director Jiang criticized my clothes for not being neat enough."

Chi Xi: "..."

He held back, holding back what he wanted to say.

Yin Luming had already seen what Chi Xi wanted to complain about.

He rubbed his face with his hands, comforting himself that at least what he promised Shen Lou was not going out naked.

Chi Xi asked again: "Have you gained anything from talking with Director Jiang?"

"Director Jiang is probably also a victim of the fire." Yin Luming reminded Chi Xi slightly, "He has the same burnt smell as Qi Xiaobei."

Chi Xi's face became very shocked: "Ah..."

"What about the results of your investigation?"

Chi Xi collected herself and reported to Yin Luming: "I searched all corners of the school, but I didn't find any trace of Yan Hang's five followers."

"Have you found them all?"

"I even searched for abandoned toilets."

Yin Luming nodded: "Go up to the third floor and have a look."

Chi Xi followed Yin Luming up while wondering: "The five of them were burned to death by the fire monster last night, shouldn't they be resurrected today?"

"Today's backtracking seems to be different from the previous backtracking." Yin Luming stopped at the corner of the stairs from the second floor to the third floor, pointed to the metal cabinet in the corner, "Look at that."

Chi Xi glanced at it, and had some experience: "There are footprints? Who dares to act wild in the office building, is it Yan Hang?"

Yin Luming's smile was gentle yet awkward: "I kicked it."

Chi Xi: "..."

Chi Xi was silent for a while, and said sincerely: "Brother Yin fought hard last night."

Yin Luming didn't want to recall the reason for his kick, and continued: "This fire looks back in time, and it seems that only the concept of 'fire' itself has been restored, and the influence of this period has not disappeared at all."

Like the footprints he kicked on the cabinet, the broken window in the toilet on the second floor... and the five students who were swallowed by the fire of anger and regret.

Chi Xi felt a little strange: "Why does it sound like a reserved item for the second round of the game."

"Maybe it is." Yin Luming said meaningfully, "There may indeed be a 'player' who can reach his ideal 'perfect ending' by going back in time."

Chi Xi shivered silently.

Obviously they are foreign players, but now they look like people in a painting.

"Is Qi Xiaobei manipulating the dream?" Chi Xi thought for a moment, "What ending does he want? He survived the fire and passed the exam?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

Yin Luming walked to the third floor and stopped at the door of the reference room.

He didn't go into the reference room, but looked carefully on the floor.

Continue to walk along the reference room, quickly turn a corner, and arrive at another staircase.

The office building of Anyang Middle School has a double-staircase structure, but because only one side has a door, the stairs on this side are basically only used by teachers who work on this side, and are full of old desks, waste test papers, old notebooks, etc. of sundries.

Yin Luming turned around and finally stopped at the door of the stairwell without going in.

Chi Xi came over to look around, and soon understood: "Brother Yin thinks this is where the fire started?"

Yin Luming nodded lightly.

"If we remove all the debris from here, won't there be a fire?"

"No need." Yin Luming shook his head, "It's useless to stop the fire..."

Just at this time, the door of the reference room opened, Ding Pei'an came out with a satisfied face, looked around, Shi Shiran went downstairs.

Chi Xi's attention was diverted, and she was aggrieved: "Did he steal the paper and go out?"

"Director Jiang said that the papers cannot be taken out, so it should be impossible." Yin Luming turned around and said, "The papers are not important... let's go."

……

Chi Xi followed Yin Luming, watching Yin Luming rummaging through the pile of ivy flowerpots in the teaching building, she couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart: "Brother Yin, what are you doing?"

Yin Luming didn't hide anything: "I'm solving my side mission."

Chi Xi was a little surprised: "Brother Yin, have you received a side mission?"

Yin Lumeng nodded, and recounted the task of "Chu Ling's Birthday Return Gift" he had received.

After listening to it, Chi Xi first sighed: "It's so good to be handsome, and I took the initiative to send up the tasks."

He immediately said solemnly, "Brother Yin, I'll help you too!"

Yin Luming smiled and did not refuse: "Okay, you can help me match Ivy with the student."

Chi Xi: "...huh?"

He looked down at these flower pots, a little unbelievable, "Are they... different?"

"It's true that they look the same, but I have to pick out the ivy of Yan Hang's six people."

Yin Luming caressed one of the ivy plants casually, and sighed, "The 'return gift' requested in the mission of Chu Chan should refer to these ivy plants."

Chi Xi was at a loss.

"Remember what Chu Rong gave me after I wished him a happy birthday?" Yin Luming took out the bouquet of dried roses from his backpack, "If Chu Rong wants to return the gift, he will probably make dried flower ornaments himself."

"Then why is it Yan Hang's?"

"The special gift Chu Ling received on her birthday surprised her—not a surprise. Only the fire in the office building can be counted as the surprising thing that happened yesterday or today. In Qi Xiaobei's dream, Chu Rong is the object of his crush, the embodiment of all good things. So of course, in Qi Xiaobei's heart, Chu Rong must stand on the opposite side of Yan Hang and the others."

Chi Xi put down the flower pot she was looking at: "Qi Xiaobei wants Chu Rong to take revenge for him?"

"Chu Ling's pruning of flower branches in the flower garden itself represents a kind of judgment and judgment." Yin Luming gently sniffed the bouquet of dried roses, "In the dream of the scorched-earth campus of flowers, 'flowers' represent individual 'people' '. Teachers, students, and even players all have flowers that represent themselves. Chu Rong is the planter, nurturer, sanctioner, and terminator of flowers on campus. Perhaps the real Chu Rong is not such a person, but In Qi Xiaobei's mind, he needs a character who can uphold justice for him and give him fair revenge."

"But... weren't the other five students burned to death?"

"At first I thought it was Qi Xiaobei's revenge that they were burned to death—but when I came to the teaching building, I found that none of the ivy plants here had disappeared or died. Ivy is the soul of the students, so the flames burned to death. It's just their bodies, and what Qi Xiaobei wants to revenge is not just taking their bodies."

Chi Xi was convinced: "But how do we find Yan Hang's ivy?"

Yin Luming crossed his arms, shaking the bouquet of dried roses in his hand, and pondered.

Chi Xi turned her head hard, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Can the students claim their own ivy? The rest will belong to Yan Hang and the others."

Yin Luming was a little surprised: "You can try this method."

The problem is...they don't seem to be able to give orders to the students.

Chi Xi rarely showed an eager expression on his face: "I may have a solution for this."
