Chapter 159: Repairing the Sticky Note


When Lin Yi arrived in the argument zone, he intentionally slowed down and then tried to ask them, "Excuse me, has anyone seen who wrote those words on the blackboard?"

A student who was not prevailing in the argument answered amidst the chaos, "We don't know either, the words were already on the board when we came back."

"Okay, thanks." Lin Yi, having received his answer, did not ask further nor did he put on the attitude of "directing the Experience Students," but continued to support Li Huiyuan as they walked toward Wei Liang's location.

This time, as he traversed the argument zone with Li Huiyuan, even though the situation was similar to that at noon, those Experience Students no longer regarded them as they had before but merely glanced at Li Huiyuan briefly before turning their attention back to the ongoing debate about whether to stay or leave.

Lin Yi also noticed something, those advocating to stay in the classroom overnight were wearing various outfits, while those advocating to leave were in uniform school attire.

The reason for this division was that those advocating for leaving had spent the previous night in the dormitory and had experienced a completely safe sleep environment, preferring to return to the dormitories rather than experiencing a tense and thrilling long night trapped in the classroom.

However, those who hadn't been back to the dormitory included some who had survived the night in the classroom and others who had arrived in the afternoon, believing they could also survive in the classroom while complying with the rules, hence they preferred to stay.

Lin Yi had no opinion on this; he had considered both options already, merely waiting to confirm whether the words on the blackboard were indeed written by a Sports Student and for the arrival of Class Teacher-040 to finalize the plan.

Even, when necessary, he would choose to follow the arrangements of the Class Teacher.

It was an arrangement, not a suggestion.

Because a rule in the Teaching Building stated, "If you violate any of the above rules, seek help from a Class Teacher as quickly as possible, provide details, then unconditionally trust and comply with the instructions given by the Class Teacher."

The implication was that one could seek help from a Class Teacher when breaking a rule, but further, in an emergency, if a Class Teacher made arrangements... it was necessary to follow them as well.

He learned from Class Teacher-039 that Class Teachers had undergone strict training, especially Class Teacher-039, who had even fought when the Teaching Building's floors collapsed.

As he pondered this, he assisted Li Huiyuan up the stairs and soon reached Wei Liang's side.

Wei Liang, this guy... was still focused intensely on peeking through a crevice like he couldn't care less if the world ended.

Noticing the light being blocked, Liangzi suspiciously raised his head, his eyes lighting up, "Old Lin, you're finally back!"

He glanced at the clock above the blackboard, smacking his lips, "18:34... if you hadn't come back any later, I'd have thought they'd done you in."

"Come on! Can't you say something auspicious!" Lin Yi elbowed him, "I very nearly didn't make it back!"

"I guessed as much! Right after I'd just left through the Student Passage, I saw the lights in the Cafeteria flicker! Then a swarm of students came bursting out of the Student Passage, running and tumbling... cough, anyway, there were a lot of people!" Wei Liang spread his hands.

"I was really worried about you guys, so I waited by the Cafeteria notice board for a while, but after a long wait and not seeing you come out, I thought you might have gone to the legendary Convenience Store, so I headed back to the classroom first."

"Looks like I guessed right." Wei Liang's gaze fell on the blanket draped over Lin Yi, "Speaking of which, I get why you'd go to the Convenience Store, but... buying a 'Captain Invincible' style red floral cape, what's up with that?"

"Please, this is a blanket, not a cape..." Lin Yi corrected, removing the blanket from himself, "Here, a blanket."

"Why on earth did you buy a blanket? Did you wet the bed yesterday?" Wei Liang blurted out, shocking Lin Yi immensely.

Lin Yi: "..."

"Liangzi, I'm asking you," Lin Yi quickly steered the conversation back, pointing at the blackboard, "Did you see who wrote these words on the blackboard when you came back?"

Wei Liang shook his head, "No, the words were already there when I got back."

Lin Yi pressed further, "Then do you remember around what time you got back to the classroom?"

"17:08, I guess. If it wasn't for waiting for you guys, I would have been back before 17:00."

"You... can even pinpoint the minute?" Lin Yi was somewhat astonished; he had not expected the usually carefree Wei Liang to pay attention to such details, no wonder he dared to be a return visitor, effortlessly mastering the details.

"That's because I got scared by the words on the blackboard when I walked in, accidentally glanced at the clock, and then memorized that time in a flash," Wei Liang spoke indifferently, "You really think I'm a genius or something, remembering times as clearly as you do?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi immediately narrowed his eyes. Wei Liang had returned to the classroom at 17:08, but the words had already been written on the blackboard.

They had left the classroom to have dinner at 15:30, and everything was normal at that time; during that one-and-a-half-hour interval, someone had sneaked into the classroom and written those words on the blackboard.

Moreover, not everyone in the classroom had left promptly at 15:30, some deviations in time allowed even less time for the intruder...
