I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend

[20xx, X month X day, rain]

The school is cleaning up today.

Principal Wang said to clean up.

It was spotless inside and out.

But I don't have the tools.

I'm not talking shit.

I didn't borrow the broom until I was about to leave school.

But it's useless if you don't have time to run.

The first word in the first sentence: learn.

The second word in the second sentence: school.

The third word in the third sentence: Li.

The fourth word in the fourth sentence: Yes.

The fifth word in the fifth sentence: ghost.

The sixth word in the sixth sentence: fast.

The seventh word in the seventh sentence: run.

Together they are: There are ghosts running in the school.

But this is not the main reason for Lin Yi's face to sink, the more important reason is what the female teacher keeps repeating.

The female teacher said: "One, two, three, four... 23, 24, 25..."

"Tsk." The female teacher said, "Why is there one less?"

How could there be only one less!

Xia Hui died, the missing person didn't come, there should be two missing people in the class!

Xia Hui has gradually moved closer like a cat, and the corpse has reorganized into a strange appearance. It is impossible to come to class again. The one that the female teacher said "why there is one less" can only be Xia Hui.

and so.

That missing person is in the classroom right now.

Lin Yi was startled suddenly.

Then he began to scan the class, whether it was a participant or a student NPC, everyone he could see was sitting in the seat.In the field of vision, the participants are those who entered the 8-4 rule world together, and the student NPCs are also the student NPCs I have seen in class these few times, and there are no more unfamiliar people at all.

Including the vacancies in the class, there are now two vacancies.

One is where Xia Hui sat, and the other is where he saw the diary just now.

Cheng Yang next to him noticed Lin Yi's movements, stopped cursing, approached and asked softly, "Brother Lin Yi, what's wrong?"

Although the female teacher has been repeating the number of people, the order in the classroom is very good, and it is not noisy. Whispering whispers will seem abrupt.

After Cheng Yang asked this, other participants looked towards them.

Cheng Yang realized this and didn't make another sound.He looked towards the staring eyes, put on a fierce expression and turned them back.

Ren Li asked them not to accept Cheng Yang's courier, almost telling the other participants that they had a problem, and their every move would naturally attract the attention of other participants.

This is not the time to share the discovery, and if you say it directly, it may scare Cheng Yang, so Lin Yi shook his head and did not tell him the current situation.

Anyway, Lin Yi hasn't figured it out yet.

Lin Yi always felt that the words were too abrupt, because there was no warning at all.

It's like someone suddenly told you one day that today is the end of the world, but the weather in front of you is sunny, with a little breeze, and flowers are blooming.Although the current situation is gloomy and there is no breeze or flowers, today is the third day in the 8-4 rule world. Except for the curse letter in the package, there is no trace of ghosts here.

If there is a ghost here, they can actually detect it.

For example, the flickering light bulbs, such as the faucet that keeps flowing and cannot be turned on, such as the figure that suddenly disappears at the end of the corridor, such as the secretiveness of the NPC who often lives here.

These examples are all traces that ghosts will show when they exist.

There have been ghosts in the 2-6 rule world.

From the very beginning, Lin Yi could detect traces of ghosts, but in the 8-4 rule world, there were no signs of ghosts.

So Lin Yi felt awkward.

It was so abrupt that he felt that this sentence was a prank, just like a curse letter, it was actually a disgusting prank in the eyes of many people.

Unless the ghost in this sentence is not a real ghost, but something else, which is referred to as a ghost.

Ghosts are terrifying existences in the public perception.

Converted to the 8-4 rule world, the terrible existence includes the curse letter, the cat, and that thing, as well as the person who released the pigeon.

Regarding the reference to ghost in this sentence, Lin Yi prefers to be the one who released the pigeons, that is, the one who wrote the first curse letter.

Because the package was stored in the express locker of the dormitory, the cat and that thing summoned by the package committed crimes in the dormitory, but Lin Yi saw this sentence in the teaching building.

He began to wonder if the student who had never appeared in the classroom had discovered the person who released the pigeons, and then wrote this sentence to remind others.

The student didn't dare to show up, so he never showed up.

Even if you come to class, you will hide in a dark place where you can't be found.

But there is also a contradiction here. The female teacher's emphasis on the lack of people is indeed luring them to be curious about the lack of people. Even Cheng Yang has noticed this.

And now this missing person is reminding them that the school has ghosts, which is illogical.

Lin Yi made a progressive equation conversion in his mind.

Because the female teacher is deliberately luring everyone to find the missing person, so:

The missing students remind everyone that there are ghosts in the school = the female teacher reminds everyone that there are ghosts in the school

The female teacher is essentially an NPC, a task created by 8-4 monsters, so:

The missing student reminds everyone that there is a ghost in school = the female teacher reminds everyone that there is a ghost in school = the monster reminds everyone that there is a ghost in school.

This is simply not possible.

Monsters are malicious to those involved, things just want to see those involved fall into a trap and devour them after violating the rules of death, so the important NPCs in the rule world are basically malicious.

Therefore, it is impossible for this missing student NPC to leave this sentence to remind others to be careful, Lin Yi tried to read this sentence again with malice, 'there is a ghost in the school, run away'.

If this sentence is not a reminder, it is deliberately misleading.

The antonym of reminder is concealment and misleading.

So this sentence is actually misleading them?

What can be misleading?

In fact, there are no ghosts in the school?Or run away to be targeted by ghosts?

Without any more clues at hand, Lin Yi was not sure of the misleading direction of this sentence.

The female teacher is still counting people, and is still chanting 'Why is there one less'.

Lin Yi had scanned the classroom countless times back and forth, but he still couldn't find the missing person. He even looked at the window, the curtains were hanging quietly on both sides of the window, he looked at the curtains, Then look back.

People can hide behind the curtains, and the missing student should be behind the curtains, and this is the only place in the classroom where people can hide.

But Lin Yi didn't intend to find this missing student. It doesn't matter whether the student appears or disappears now. The important thing is that Lin Yi has to figure out the direction of the student's concealment and misleading.

He turned his eyes to the diary in the belly of the table again. The diary where he wrote the words "School ghosts run away" is not on the first page of the diary, there are still many pages rolled up in front.

Lin Yi wanted to steal this diary, he wanted to know what was recorded in the notebook before this diary.

Now the progress of the main line he has mastered is 0, Lin Yi wants to see if he can start exploring the main line of the 8-4 rule world from this notebook.

After school, everyone left the classroom.

Lin Yi and Cheng Yang also went back to the dormitory building. Before returning to the dormitory, Lin Yi went to open the express cabinet 202. The cabinet was empty and there was no package.

Because of Ren Li's reminder, other participants also looked at their express locker.

It seems that someone else received the package, a sophomore boy.He stopped Cheng Yang angrily and questioned Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang was puzzled: "The dog sent you a courier, okay."

But Lin Yi didn't have time to accompany Cheng Yang to solve this problem. He quietly told Cheng Yang, "Stay in bedroom 204 at night, and don't open the door unless I come back."

Cheng Yang was stunned, "You..."

Lin Yi quickly walked away, he went all the way back to the dormitory, and then fell out of the window again.

He picked up two twigs on the ground and went to the teaching building while grinding them with his nails.

He went to steal the diary.

If you go out directly from the gate of the dormitory building, you will be seen.

Running all the way back to the teaching building, he thought that the classroom door of Class [-] (Senior) was locked, so he prepared the things in his hand to unlock it, but the door was not locked.

It's just a cover-up.

It was as if knowing that he would come back, deliberately left a crack in the door to wait for him.

Lin Yi thought for a while and pushed the door open, although he realized that he was stepping into a huge trap step by step.

But it's not dark yet, and he hasn't received the courier yet, so he's still safe now, if he hesitates any longer, he might not be safe anymore.

Lin Yi entered the door and paused.

He saw that the female teacher hadn't left yet and was still standing on the podium.

However, since the female teacher never cared about the students' actions, Lin Yi continued to walk towards the desk with the diary without much hesitation.

Lin Yi took out the diary from the belly of the table, and he turned to leave, but the female teacher turned her gaze away.

Lin Yi paused.

The female teacher gave him the feeling that he was an emotionless repeater, but now she turned her eyes to him.

Because he noticed that he took away a diary that didn't belong to him?

In just one breath, Lin Yi made a new decision.

He didn't know if taking away the diary would cause anything. It would be dark soon, and Lin Yi didn't want to accidentally trigger the female teacher's death rule because of this diary, just like in the world of 7-7 rules, Qu Jialiang ran from the dormitory. It's the same as coming out to let the death rules of the dormitory old man take effect.

Anyway, all he wanted to read was the contents of the diary, and that was the purpose of taking it away.

He can watch it now.

Lin Yi opened the front of the diary and read the contents of the diary while paying attention to the female teacher.

As he had guessed, there was content in the front of the diary.

[20xx year, X month X day, rain. ]

my homework is gone

looking for my job

I saw it yesterday

appears to have been stolen

Do you think I can find the person who stole the homework?

Oh, found it.

Lin Yi paused, and he looked at his thumb. The pen and ink on the diary was touched by his thumb, and the words were smeared.

This diary was just written.

And this time it is not according to the oblique reading method of the previous article, but the first word of each sentence.

Connect the first word of each sentence:

I, are, are, see, you, oh.

Lin Yi was silent for a while, "I'm looking at you." Someone was indeed looking at him. When he took out the diary, the female teacher's eyes fell.

He thought, he should have found the missing student.

The student was right in front of him, the female teacher.

From the beginning, the female teacher never said that she was a teacher.

It's just that she stood on the podium, and Lin Yi and Cheng Yang had preconceived ideas about her, so they regarded her as a female teacher.

It is not only the teacher who can stand on the podium, but also the students.

Lin Yi looked up.

The female teacher gave him a weird smile.
