#15 - "Void Search"
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't respond, Wei Liang proactively crawled out from under his desk and waved his hand in front of him.
"What's wrong? Did your legs fall asleep while you were on the toilet? Come on out, it's okay now!" He reached out to Lin Yi and pulled him out from under the desk.
"Old Lin, you weren't really scared silly, were you?"
He reached out with both hands and rubbed Lin Yi's face.
Lin Yi's head was shaken like a rattle-drum. Just as he was about to shake off Wei Liang's hand, his pupils suddenly contracted violently.
His face turned pale in an instant.
He saw a classmate, his body shrunk into the seat of the amphitheater-style classroom in an almost embedded way, looking straight at him.
That classmate's eyes were wide open, but his gaze was empty and lifeless. The corners of his mouth were raised in a huge arc, almost stretching to his ears like a clown.
Idiotic, crazed, wooden... Contradictory expressions were crammed onto his face in a highly conflicting manner, making him look eerie and terrifying.
Lin Yi wasn't sure if that classmate was looking at him, but the way he looked was like a ghoul perched on a windowsill, staring intently at the delicious flesh and blood in a display case.
But what really made Lin Yi's scalp tingle was that he saw a portable flashlight in that classmate's hand.
That alone was enough for Lin Yi to be sure that this classmate was the guy who had killed the Little Genius after the lights went out in the classroom!
It was also this classmate who had scored a hat trick in the darkness, constantly tugging at him, trying to grab him!
"What the hell..."
Lin Yi shuddered all over.
Wei Liang saw this unusual scene and turned around with a puzzled look, following Lin Yi's gaze.
"Old Lin, what are you looking at... Oh my god!"
The moment he saw that classmate, Wei Liang's legs went weak, and he almost passed out on the spot. Fortunately, he grabbed Lin Yi's shoulder in time to avoid falling.
Wei Liang didn't dare to speak either. He shrank his neck and slowly moved to the side, panting against the desk, his face full of lingering fear.
Lin Yi cautiously bent his waist a little towards his left.
The wooden and dazed classmate also tilted his neck a little in his direction...
Lin Yi was terrified and straightened his body, then tilted a little to the other side.
Sure enough, that classmate followed his movements again, slowly tilting his neck, his eyes unblinking, and even the arc of his mouth remained unchanged.
"Damn it, is he really looking at me?!" Lin Yi felt his hair stand on end. The warm lights of the classroom shone on him, but he felt nothing but cold.
He turned and ran, rushing towards a bookshelf and hiding behind it.
That eerie feeling of discomfort disappeared at that moment.
Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But his relief was short-lived. Before long, he felt that he was being watched again.
He cautiously peeked out from behind the bookshelf, following this feeling, and sure enough, he found that classmate staring with a pair of empty eyes, a huge arc at the corners of his mouth, looking at the spot where he was.
Lin Yi felt a chill. This kind of empty but cold gaze made him uncomfortable all over, as if he were being stared at by Medusa.
He took a deep breath and tried changing several hiding places in succession, but that classmate's gaze was always able to follow after a brief delay.
Like a maggot attached to a bone.
The more this happened, the more severe the chill in Lin Yi's heart became.
Gradually, he felt the hairs on his arms stand on end, and the air around him seemed to have countless needles gently pricking his pores...
He scratched his arm, and the goosebumps subsided a little, but the discomfort didn't diminish much.
Wei Liang also noticed the problem, so he bent over, bowed, and tiptoed, taking extremely small steps that he felt were very inconspicuous, and ran to Lin Yi's side, then whispered:
"Old Lin, did you run into something dirty?"
Lin Yi was speechless for a moment, but that feeling of being watched was so strong that he said, "Although I really want to tell you to believe in science, I really feel very uncomfortable right now."
"Damn, what do we do?" Wei Liang asked worriedly.
"I don't know either."
"Huh? You don't know either? Then how did you get targeted by that bastard?" Wei Liang gestured with his mouth, glancing sideways at that classmate.
Wei Liang's arrival distracted Lin Yi, making his feeling slightly weaker.
He spread his hands and told Wei Liang the whole process of the Little Genius being killed that he had heard with his ears, as well as the tug-of-war with that classmate.
"That's how it is. I was really lucky to survive just now."
"This is really a disaster out of nowhere. You've been screwed over by that Little Genius!" Wei Liang listened with trepidation, and he was also afraid after substituting himself into the situation.
He widened his eyes and looked at Lin Yi in surprise, unable to help but say: "But speaking of which, you're still something, Old Lin. If it were me, I would have been taken away!"
"Hey, but then again, why did that classmate lock onto you? After listening to you, I feel like he seems to be blind. Is he relying on... 'Void Target Acquisition'?"
"What the hell is 'Void Target Acquisition'!" Lin Yi slandered in his heart, speechless, "If it's really that mysterious, aren't you afraid of being targeted along with me if you stay by my side?"
Wei Liang shrugged and confessed: "Although I'm very afraid that you'll drag me down with you, I feel like it's safer for two people to stay together. Besides, didn't I just hide under the desk next to you? I'm fine, aren't I?"
Lin Yi was stunned and immediately became suspicious: "That's right, how come nothing happened to you at all? We were so close, didn't you hear the sound of the Little Genius dying?"
"I heard it!"
"When the Little Genius's body fell down, did you hear it?"
"I heard it too..."
"Damn... You heard everything, and you still didn't feel anything?" Lin Yi took a step back, looking Wei Liang up and down, "You... have such a big heart?"
Lin Yi originally wanted to get some inspiration from Wei Liang's actions, but Wei Liang didn't do anything!
"Wait...? !"
"Didn't do anything?"
"Liangzi, after the power went out, you hid under the table, and then what? Didn't do anything?"
"That's right! I just stared at the legs of the table, and then I thought about some things you understand... Hehe, that kind of thing!"
"..."
"However, maybe I have a very unique technique for staring at table legs, I don't know if it has anything to do with it."
"Oh?" Lin Yi looked at him curiously, "What technique?"
"Hehe, look!"
Wei Liang raised a finger and placed it in front of his face, then slowly approached his nose, widened his eyes, and suddenly became cross-eyed.
“If that's the case, then I won't be able to see anything except the table leg! Even if the King of Heaven himself came, all I'd see is a table leg!”
Lin Yi: “……”
“How about it, is it helpful?” Wei Liang said with a smile.
He closed his eyes and shook his head: “The only downside is that my eyes get easily strained after a while, but I'll get used to it.”
Lin Yi sighed deeply, feeling conflicted, and finally said with a helpless sigh: “I never would have thought that you, kid, would have such a unique skill.”
Wei Liang waved his hand: “It's just a trivial skill, I didn't expect there would be a time to put it to use… Why don't you try it?”
Lin Yi shook his head: “Forget it.”
Wei Liang said seriously: “Hey! Don't! Maybe it'll really work?”
Lin Yi couldn't resist Wei Liang's insistence and could only force a cross-eyed expression.
Wei Liang burst out laughing and couldn't help but say: “Old Lin, when you make that expression, it feels like your IQ drops by 250!”
Lin Yi sneered, wanting to retort, but suddenly he froze.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu ba!
“Huh?!” Lin Yi shook his head, his eyes returning to normal, revealing a look of surprise.
“Ah? What 'huh'?” Wei Liang was stunned.
“This…?! ” Lin Yi narrowed his eyes in thought, then revealed a serious expression.
“Damn, did you discover something?” Wei Liang said excitedly, “Is it because of this genius…呸呸呸, is it because of this young master's inspiration?”
Lin Yi nodded and said: “Although I really don't want to admit it, it really is.”
Just now, when he was cross-eyed, Lin Yi discovered that except for one point, everything in his field of vision was distorted. If it were in the dark, even if that classmate really got close, what he saw might be a jumbled mess.
Once you can't grasp any clues and start thinking about completely unrelated things in your mind, it's really difficult to associate the sounds with strange things.
Wei Liang used this method to sever his connection with this strange environment the moment he grabbed the table leg!
「He's really showing off, but he's also really being a showoff.」
“I think it's like this…” Lin Yi planned to tell Wei Liang his analysis, but Wei Liang repeatedly waved his hand, “Hey, wait, wait, wait! I don't want to hear it!”
“Ah?”
“What 'ah'? I don't want to know anything, hehehe. I just need to know the most basic rules, the rest… the less I know, the better.”
Wei Liang smiled, and the eyes hidden under the messy hair of his baseball cap revealed a deep and wise feeling.
Lin Yi increasingly felt that Wei Liang hadn't survived last time by luck.
For example, at this time, Wei Liang seemed to be thinking about something very profound…
Sure enough, Wei Liang raised his hand and pointed behind Lin Yi: “Old Lin, those books over there have nice covers… Since you've figured it out, why not go read some manga and spend this long night in a magical harem manga?”
Lin Yi opened his mouth, realizing that Wei Liang's profound gaze just now was choosing manga…?
「Six, huh…」
“Hey, don't be dazed! Let's go, let's pick out some manga!” Wei Liang tugged at Lin Yi's clothes, urging, “Remember what Xu Shunkang and the others said? The more you think, the more dangerous it is. Let's go, let's read manga. If the lights flicker later, just do as I do!”
“Okay…” Lin Yi couldn't resist Wei Liang's pulling and was dragged to the bookshelf with a wry smile.
A moment later, Lin Yi and Wei Liang each left the bookshelf area with some manga books.
Passing through the desk area, Lin Yi noticed that the legs of each desk were nailed to the floor tiles. This design made the desks, to some extent, into simple shelters.
「So that guy really wanted to flip the table, but gave up because it was welded down? Not because I held onto the desk?」
He also noticed that there were obvious bumps and scratches on one of the desks. If you looked closely, you could even find a trace of blood on the tabletop.
That was the desk where the little genius's body had crashed, and under that tabletop…
Lin Yi's pupils shrank.
「As expected!」
On the legs of the desk, near the tabletop, there were visible white scratches, as if someone had scraped it with plaster.
That desk was the one Lin Yi had been hiding under just now, and the desk that Wei Liang had been hiding under… was really completely fine.
Lin Yi couldn't help but admire Wei Liang.
Passing through the desk area, he also noticed that each desk had the same note pasted on it, which read:
【Except for art students, all other students are prohibited from reading books while sitting at the desks.】
Lin Yi was slightly stunned, but he immediately realized something strange—this huge circular lecture hall had a large area of desks in the back, but no one was sitting down.
Everyone was sitting on the folding chairs in the circular lecture hall, using the unfolded desk panels to hold their books.
「So is that why no one came over?」
Lin Yi didn't have time to think too much and returned to his original seat with Wei Liang, carrying the manga books.
After putting down the manga books, Lin Yi looked down at his watch.
23:45.
「Only 23:45?」
Although it was only 22:43 when he looked at his watch last time, this period of time really felt like an eternity.
But now only an hour has passed?
He leaned back slightly, putting all the weight of his body on the back of the chair, then looked at the ceiling and sighed deeply.
「What a long night…」
Worry floated in his eyes, and the sound of turning pages suddenly rang in his ears.
Wei Liang next to him had already picked up a bound volume of manga and was reading it, looking radiant and full of energy.
「Okay… it seems like it's not for someone.」
He took a deep breath and then touched his arm.
“What's wrong, still feeling uncomfortable?” Wei Liang asked while turning the page.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and said helplessly: “Anyone would feel uncomfortable being stared at, let alone with this kind of gaze.”
Wei Liang glanced back at that classmate, then shrugged and said half-jokingly: “Then what should we do? Now is not the time to think about countermeasures… Huh, what's that look on your face?”
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, but Wei Liang felt that Lin Yi wasn't thinking about a problem, but had thought of something.
“You… do you have any ideas?”
Lin Yi looked back at the classmate, then turned to Wei Liang. He stretched his body, and then, staring into Wei Liang's eyes, said word by word: “Do you think… is there any way to eliminate his attention on me?”
