Absurd deduction game

After the students wearing armbands walked in, the whole place became quite quiet. It was not until these "armbands" dispersed and went to various windows to buy food that other students resumed their noise.

"That's the supervisor?" Zhao Mou whispered to himself.

"Maybe, they don't plan to go to Luanniao for dinner, maybe..." Wen Qinghuai lowered his voice, and then realized that it was not necessary. The other students should eat and drink, so they wolfed down his words while talking, completely covering up his voice. , so he amplified his voice again, "Maybe he doesn't object to eating bloody ingredients anymore."

what does that mean?

It means that the ideas of these "armbands" have begun to alienate and are different from ordinary people.

There were more than a dozen students wearing armbands. After getting their meals, they sat in various places in the cafeteria. Only then did Yu Xing discover that there were separate empty seats everywhere in the cafeteria, as if they had been marked, so that they could The excellent viewing angle controls the entire scene, with almost no blind spots.

One of them came to Yu Xing's table and sat at the next table, very close to the six girls.

After closing the distance, Yu Xing was able to clearly observe the student with the armband. He was a boy with a boyish face and curly blond hair. He looked like a luxurious young man, but his temperament was like that of an old wood that was about to decay. Lifeless and expressionless.

No, there are still some.

In an instant, the eyes of Yu Xing and the male student intersected, and a feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake rose from Yu Xing's spine. He suddenly saw strong hunger and viciousness in the boy's brown eyes.

Yu Xing felt the malice rising from the human body at the sight of him.

This student wearing an armband is looking, expecting, waiting for someone to break the rules and be caught by him. His hunger does not come from the body, but from the desire and unsatisfaction of twisted desires.

The boy had some thick dark circles under his eyes, as if he didn't get enough sleep. The joints on his slender hands were so exaggerated that they looked like they had a layer of skin covering the bones. He used this hand to put a spoon into his mouth. Delivering the bloody meal, a tooth was found inside. His lifeless lips opened and he swallowed the "teeth" without hesitation, his eyes still racing against time to roam among the students.

"..." This made Yu Xing feel a little chilly in his normal state.

The other four people naturally saw this scene, and Qu Xianqing chuckled: "This classmate has a good appetite."

"Indeed." Zhao Mou couldn't say what he said. What was more frightening than the student himself must be the power behind him that changed him.

They were even more determined not to eat ghost ingredients casually.

Ten minutes passed, and except for the slightly depressing atmosphere, the entire cafeteria was peaceful.

One student after another, after finishing the food, they immediately stood up, put the tableware in the recycling bin in the corner of the cafeteria, and then hurried out.

"Are they in such a hurry to go back and take a nap?" Yu Xing also finished eating. He supported his chin with one hand and tilted his head. "Studying is stressful, right? If you don't take a nap, you will feel sleepy in the afternoon. For those who want to study , that’s a very scary thing.”

"We may be like this from tomorrow, but we don't know how long we will stay here." Zhao Mou guessed that the time should not be short. Judging from the information Yu Xing shared before, the process at the grocery store takes one hour, and the art museum The process normally takes eight hours. Such a big school map...should be available in half a month, right?

In fact, they don't know the flow rate of this dungeon, because Qu Nianqing and Huang Bai have already tested that the time flow rate in the dungeon and on the Dead Island may be different, so Zhao Mou conservatively guessed that it was a month in the dungeon and two or three days outside the dungeon.

Because there were too few existing rules, he was not sure whether this school dungeon would be a half-year-long one. He could only hope that the difference in time flow rate on Dead Island would not be so exaggerated.

Suddenly, a scream broke their observation and thinking. Almost instinctively, everyone looked towards the place where the scream came from. They saw a red-haired girl with a frightened face standing up, and her wrist was touched by a tall man wearing a red armband. The tall boy grabbed her fingertips, and there was a bright red nail.

The boy with the red armband didn't do anything to her, but she was frightened the moment she was discovered.

"I caught you -" the boy drawled, excitement flashing in his eyes.

The girl was trembling and kept saying words such as "I'm sorry, please let me go, I was wrong, please." Tears welled up like broken threads. The students who had not left the cafeteria were completely pressed this time. Pressing the mute button, they all looked towards the center of the accident. Some of their faces looked sad, some looked ordinary, but no one moved, including those who had already walked to the door and were about to leave.

"It's against the rules, classmate." The boy with the red armband grabbed the girl's wrist, raised her hand high, shook it as if to show off, and then grinned, showing the most vivid expression since he entered the cafeteria.

He looked at the small sign on the girl's chest and read: "Grade 3, Class 2, Mi Jia."

"wasting food."

"I will report to the life teacher before this afternoon."

Every time she said another word, the red-haired girl named Mi Jia became more and more gloomy. When the words "life teacher" came out, she collapsed to the ground helplessly.

Yu Xing was still wondering why the other students didn't leave and were still watching this scene, when they heard the girls at the table next to them repeat in a low voice: "Class 2, Grade 3, Mi Jia..."

"Remember her." The girl with round eyes said.

"This is the thirteenth this month." said the girl with freckles on her cheeks.

Not just them, Yu Xing seemed to hear all the students in the cafeteria - except for those with red armbands - gently repeat the name of the red-haired girl. Although the expressions were different, the meanings seemed to overlap strangely.

After five or six seconds, the person who wanted to leave turned around and walked away. The people who were still eating in the cafeteria silently repeated the actions before the accident. Yu Xing narrowed his eyes, pretending to be very curious and new, and tilted his body. , stretched out his arm and patted the shoulder of one of the six girls at the table, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing? Why do you need to remember her name?"

Probably because his appearance would not offend girls, and he had a natural advantage in striking up conversations and obtaining information. The girl did not show any nervousness or resistance, but glanced at the blond armband student who was very close to them with her peripheral vision. He shook his head slightly.

Then, she raised her chin slightly, pointed to the exit of the canteen, took the lead in standing up, and walked towards the recycling bin carrying a clean plate.

The other girls didn't speak either, but judging from their actions, these people all retained a trace of kindness.

Yu Xing retracted his body, turned to his companions and said, "Let's go out too."

They had already finished eating and were still staying in the cafeteria just to collect more information related to the cafeteria. Now that the situation was clear and the girls obviously had something to say, they had no reason to stay in the cafeteria anymore. reason.

A few people put the tableware away and left together. Soon they saw the girls waiting under a maple tree outside the cafeteria. Only two of the six girls remained, and they took the initiative to wave.

"You are transfer students, right?" the freckled girl said directly, "This school has several transfer students every semester. We have heard this morning that the transfer students will be transferred to our class, so from now on We have been classmates since then.”

Yu Xing looked at the girl's chest. There was a badge pinned to her school uniform with her name written on it - Rebecca.

"This is an ID badge. Every student must wear it at all times. If you come to class in the afternoon, the class teacher will give it to you." Seeing Yu Xing's eyes, Rebecca was not shy at all, but introduced in a serious manner. Then he brought up the topic that he had not continued in the cafeteria.

"This school is sick, or in other words, the world is sick." Rebecca shook her head, and sat down on the bench under the maple tree with Pa Lei next to her. She looked at Yu Xing as she spoke, obviously He regarded Yu Xing as the boss of a small group of transfer students.

Yu Xing sat down and the other four people consciously stood guard in case a teacher or students like those wearing red armbands in the cafeteria suddenly approached.

"There are many top students in this school. They can score above 580 points every time they take the test, but they are still sent in. Do you know why?" St. Jonis Middle School's test score is 600 points. Five hundred and eighty points is considered a very extreme score. Even to the outside world, he is still one of the top academics. There was a little ridicule on the corner of Rebecca's mouth. She didn't seem to expect Yu Xing to answer. She continued talking to herself. "Because they have all pointed out the injustice and absurdity of the system in schools outside."

"They were sent here under various excuses because they said something they shouldn't have said?" Yu Xing raised an eyebrow.

"That's right. In fact, those so-called educators and those in power all know that St. Jonis Middle School is an extremely chaotic place. They send children they can't stand, and then the principal will cooperate with them and use various reasons to destroy them. They just want to throw away a bag of garbage."

Next to Rebecca, Pa Lei, the girl with round eyes, joined the conversation with disgust and sadness in her tone: "Every year, some people do pass the final exam and are sent away as people who have successfully transformed. get out, but those who are forced in, no matter how good their grades are, will never get out.”

"This school is not used to save poor students at all. It is more like an institution used by capitalists to control the future. Most people don't know it when they are outside. They only know the essence of it all after they are sent in. "Rebecca said, "We feel very sad. Some people are gradually tortured out of their edges, some people are colluding with those teachers, and some people, like me and Pa Lei, are doing their best to protect our thoughts. What if the light comes one day?"

"So in the cafeteria...?" Yu Xing reminded as he noticed that the topic was getting more and more crooked and broad.

"That is a tacit understanding formed by everyone." Rebecca sighed, "In this world, successful people are admired by everyone, and there is no difference between failed people and animals, but we... those of us who are gradually starting to wake up know that , it shouldn’t be like this.”

"Everyone should have proof of their existence when they are born and live. Our parents are not willing to remember us, and others in the world will not remember us as trash. We have been so humbled and fearful under oppression. No matter what, it shouldn’t disappear from everyone’s mind as if it never existed.”

"That girl named Mi Jia will probably die tomorrow. All classmates who are unwilling to bow their heads or have become numb will remember her name at the moment she is sentenced to death. In this way, at least among us When there are people alive, those dead classmates will not be completely forgotten by the world." Rebecca firmly affirmed their actions, "After all, there is nothing more we can do."

The deducers who were paying attention to watching out, but could actually hear Rebecca speaking, were a little moved.

Yu Xing was silent for a moment, and then asked: "So now some people in the school help the teacher; some people give up resistance and blindly study and take exams; and some people, like you, silently resist?"

"Well, we are resisting. As long as we wait until graduation and get enough grades, we can go into the outside world as successfully transformed children, and then infiltrate bit by bit." Rebecca tried to raise her lips and smile. One, but he probably hasn’t smiled for a long time, so he didn’t make this expression due to the stiffness on his face.

"We have just transferred here, and you dare to tell us this. Are you afraid that we will tell the teacher, or will you become the kind of student who helps the teacher later?" Wen Qinghuai couldn't help but ask, in his opinion, this is The strangest thing is that if you really want to resist silently, at least you shouldn't simply expose your thoughts to others.

"It's not that complicated." Rebecca said, "Entering this school, before graduation, this is a prison, and no one can get out alive. Under this premise, whether it is obedience, numbness or resistance, for those teachers, it is The trapped bird show, they like to see the birds fighting with each other, so the teachers are well aware of the existence of students like us who are still resisting, but they will not reveal this."

"Every time a transfer student comes over, not just us, there will be students in the same class who will tell them this and let them choose the path they want to take in the future." Pa Lei interjected, "Choosing numbness is the most boring thing, and the teachers will let them I do all kinds of labor, give them extra homework and test papers, increase their study pressure, and just want to drive them crazy."

"If you choose to resist, life will be very difficult in the future. You will be watched by teachers and those red armbands all the time. If you make a small mistake, you may be caught, and the price will be death."

"And if you choose to obey, you will get the maximum tolerance from the teachers. It's okay to make some small mistakes occasionally, but..." Pa Lei snorted mockingly, "Have you seen those people wearing red armbands in the cafeteria? This is the result of obedience. They have long been transformed by the teacher into neither humans nor ghosts. It is very scary. There is a red armband living in my dormitory. She is like a monster or a poisonous snake. She wants to bite others all the time, but But he ignored that he had already been disemboweled."

"Even if such people finally graduate and go out to the outside world, they will definitely be eliminated because they cannot work properly. When the time comes, everything will go back to the original state and they will still be garbage."
