Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"If she really leaves, the consequences will be even more serious... Going to the art building might be a better choice." Homeroom Teacher - 040 said earnestly, "Also... don't underestimate the official's ability to act."

"You mean...? !" Lin Yi's eyes narrowed.

Homeroom Teacher - 040 said, "The authorities are not as cold-blooded as you imagine. They have both macro control and micro-operations."

"Every 'Executor' on record is strictly controlled... Sacrifice is certainly a last resort, but the value of these people themselves far outweighs the benefits of sacrificing them. Therefore, as long as conditions allow, the authorities will not give up on any 'Executor'."

"...Especially 039."

"'Especially'?" Lin Yi caught something.

Homeroom Teacher - 040 said, "She is one of the most outstanding people among us. Therefore, there is no possibility that 039 suddenly went to the art building."

"Then she...?" Lin Yi asked doubtfully. Then why would Homeroom Teacher - 039 appear in the art building?

"Don't accept everything wholesale unless you see it with your own eyes." Homeroom Teacher - 040 glanced at him lightly, "When you come into contact with the truth, 039 also transforms from an 'Executor' into a 'Gambler'. Her 'not leaving the campus' is just a 'result,' not a link in the 'process'."

"Her contact was indeed cut off, but it's not just the people from the 'Executive Department' who maintain contact with the 'Homeroom Teacher'. There's also a 'Special Operations Team'. The connections in each Special Operations Team are very secretive, making it very difficult to infiltrate. She must have used this line to choose to play along and go to the art building to continue investigating other details of the 70th Grey Mist Invasion."

"It can be like that?" Lin Yi asked in surprise, "The information she gave me wasn't all true?"

"Where isn't it all true?" Homeroom Teacher - 040 glanced at him, "Is there any information that is incorrect? Everything she wanted to tell you is there. What she didn't want to tell you, she didn't mention at all. The security of the information is almost perfect... Her professional skills are really too strong."

"Okay... So, are you the one who was arranged to continue the investigation?" Lin Yi asked.

Homeroom Teacher - 040 nodded and said, "That's right... And before I set off, I had already obtained some information from within the Operations Team. 039's investigation was correct. There are indeed many doubts about the 70th Grey Mist Invasion. And after I obtained the information she left behind, I was even more able to confirm some details. Moreover, due to the ongoing investigation, there are some new clues that have not been updated to the Operations Team in time."

"Are you going to share this information with me?" Lin Yi was a little excited.

Homeroom Teacher - 040 glanced at him lightly and asked, "Then are you going to assist me in the investigation?"

"Ah, this..." Lin Yi looked embarrassed.

"Trying to get something for nothing?" Homeroom Teacher - 040 sneered, "Heh, men."

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched fiercely: "Come on, teacher, why are you using a blanket statement?"

"If you want information from me, you have to help me investigate together," Homeroom Teacher - 040 said lightly.

Lin Yi saw a door open on the pirate ship, and a deck extended down to him. Homeroom Teacher - 040, holding a glass of red wine and wearing an evening gown, leaned against the cabin door with infinite charm, like Leonardo raising a glass, inviting him onto the pirate ship.

Lin Yi almost agreed, but reason prevailed: "I still have my own things to do. I can't give you all my time. I can only promise to help you investigate as much as possible when I'm taking action, and then disclose this information to you..."

"Moreover, judging from Teacher 039's information, those people are very likely to take the initiative to find me. I think that way, I still have some 'bait' attributes, which should be able to help you a lot."

"Deal." Homeroom Teacher - 040 agreed without any hesitation.

But such a decisive reaction made Lin Yi's expression change slightly.

"What's wrong?" Homeroom Teacher - 040 was slightly stunned.

Lin Yi said softly, "You agreed too decisively. I feel like something's not right."

"Then should I play hard to get, drag things out with you, and then finally agree?" Homeroom Teacher - 040 looked Lin Yi up and down, and smiled sarcastically, "A collaboration that is easily obtained is indeed a bit worthless... Heh, men."

Lin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, coughed dryly, and quickly got back to the point: "So... do you have any new clues?"

Since it was related to 'Ashes,' it was inherently related to him, so he naturally had to pay attention. After all, he didn't want to delay his own plans because of something else.

"Huh... 'own plans'?"

"Why can I say this word so naturally?"

Lin Yi touched his head, then felt a little confused.

"So, do you have any clues?" he asked.

Homeroom Teacher - 040 said, "The authorities investigated the person who cut off 039's information. This kind of thing is very simple to investigate. Unfortunately, the direct personnel involved have disappeared without a trace."

"Disappeared without a trace?" Lin Yi was stunned, "Could they have been dealt with? But wouldn't that be so secretive?"

Homeroom Teacher - 040 said, "In the current environment, it's not difficult to handle things secretly... Just do a little processing and throw them outside the satellite city, and even the corpse won't be found, let alone those infiltrated forces that must have even more sophisticated methods."

"'Satellite city'... ? No... Never mind..." Lin Yi helplessly supported his forehead. He wouldn't care about those things outside the campus for now. After all, there are already so many mystery majors, so is there a need to care about some satellite city concept?

"So, what about Teacher 039's inability to leave the school?"

"Still under investigation," Homeroom Teacher - 040 said, "Infiltration has always existed, but recently, more and more incidents have been emerging. The authorities attach great importance to these things, but you should know that this kind of thing is often complex and deeply rooted. You can't be impatient, you have to..."

"Okay, okay, okay..." Lin Yi waved his hands repeatedly. He was getting a headache from listening to these things, "Then what did you find from the official data?"

What he really wanted to know was what he needed to pay special attention to, but he was certainly too embarrassed to ask directly, so he could only use concern as an excuse to obtain information and analyze it himself.

Homeroom Teacher - 040 nodded slightly: "The B Group 2nd class's special status in the school is second only to those 'non-existent classrooms'. It is very difficult to investigate, but fortunately, I not only have official information, but also 039's guidance..."

Homeroom Teacher - 040 walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a transparent demonstration board from behind the bookshelf. The information on the demonstration board was just like the poster in the dictionary.

"This is...?" Lin Yi's eyes widened.

Homeroom Teacher - 040 said, "I have already coordinated and sorted out some of the information..."

She pointed to the location of the B Group 2nd class classroom, where the information was marked with "70th Grey Mist Invasion", and she said, "November 24th, X022, 70th Grey Mist Invasion..."

“'Yuan Datou,' a sports student from Class 2, Group B, sports student ID [Day-X0221006035], violated relevant school rules, causing 76 deaths, including 33 sports students, 16 art students, and 27 experience students…”

Then she pointed to the location of the art building. It's worth mentioning that on the presentation board, the art building was located outside the map.

She added, “On November 24, X022, during the 70th Gray Mist invasion, 'Mu Daxian,' an art student, art student ID [Month-X0210905182], arrived at Watchtower III with an art teacher… After the art teacher left, he single-handedly guarded Watchtower III for as long as 5 hours, and overwrote the layer pollution of the Super Night Walker…”

“'Mu-style Sketching,' is known as the nemesis of Night Walkers, nicknamed… 'Extraordinary Art Student.'”

Form Teacher-040 said, “You may not know this, but the art building has a total of III watchtowers, each at a 60-degree angle to each other, totaling 120 degrees, protruding from the main body of the art building towards the sea, looking like three fingers on a claw.”

“Among them, Watchtower III is located on the extension line of the right wing of the art building. During the Gray Mist invasion, it receives weaker attacks from Night Walkers, but faces more Grinning Angels… I'm sorry, wait a moment, can you understand what I'm saying?”

Lin Yi nodded: “I've been to the art building, I can completely understand what you're saying.”

“That's good… Wait, you've been to the art building?! ” Form Teacher-040 widened her eyes, a hint of surprise appearing on her beautiful face, “Wait! Could it be… you went to the art building today? And then escaped back from the art building? That's not right… it shouldn't be…”

The latest novels are first published on [Six] [Nine] [Book] [Bar]!

“The route back to the campus from the art building… shouldn't exist at this time…”

“No, no… you also went to the library?”

“The dormitory manager brought you back from the art building, and then put you in the library, letting you come back with the security guard?”

“That doesn't make sense… Why would the dormitory manager care about your life or death? If he didn't take you there, why would he care about you?”

Form Teacher-040 pondered for a while, then narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Yi: “Tell me, what's going on with you?”

Listening to Form Teacher-040's analysis, Lin Yi was greatly shocked. Form Teacher-040 deduced a rough outline based on just a little clue. The only point she didn't guess was that “what if the dormitory manager who brought him back was himself?”

Could it be that all “Form Teachers” have such meticulous thinking?

This is too scary, isn't it?

But she truly deserves to be a staff member of an official direct agency, the so-called “Executive Officer”!

“Your guess is correct.” Lin Yi said, “That's how it is. You might want to ask me how I went to the art building. A black bib chef took me there. As for why an unfamiliar dormitory manager brought me back, it's because that black bib chef helped me…”

He concealed the matter of Old Mo and attributed everything to Old Mo.

“Black bib chef? That's unreasonable…” Form Teacher-040 pondered for a moment, “Why would he take you to the art building? What's the motive?”

“Yes, it's unreasonable. I'm not Zhu'er and he's not Wei Yixiao, why did he just grab me and run away, and then take me to the art building?” Lin Yi repeated.

“Don't be glib.” Form Teacher-040 said, “I'm thinking.”

“Why don't you ask the black bib chefs later, maybe they know?” Lin Yi said, thinking that you won't meet Old Mo anyway, “Let's get down to business. That art student named Mu Daxian did some big things at Watchtower III, so what is the connection between him and Yuan Datou?”

Form Teacher-039 also mentioned the connection between them, but didn't investigate it. Form Teacher-040 has official database support, so maybe she discovered some clues.

Form Teacher-040 nodded: “The connection is… 'Supreme Judgment'.”

“The Night Watcher system's 'Supreme Judgment'?” Lin Yi frowned slightly. He knew that Mu Daxian was trying to find the position of the Night Watcher, but could there be other secrets involved?

Form Teacher-039 also mentioned that Yuan Datou didn't know where he got the news from and tried to tap into the Night Watcher system's “Supreme Judgment” through the sports students, that is, the “Dawn Walker” path, but he failed, and that failure led to the fission between the layers, which in turn led to the descent of “Angels” carrying “Ashes” into the campus.

Form Teacher-040 continued: “I found out that Yuan Datou entered the school in October last year. Later, he became a member of the sports students and showed extraordinary talent in the sports department, becoming a second-level sports student nearly five times faster than ordinary people. However, less than a month after becoming a second-level sports student, he chose the most radical approach during the Gray Mist invasion…”

“According to my investigation, October last year was not the first time Yuan Datou entered the school. His first time entering the school can be traced back to September of X021…”

“September of X021?!” Lin Yi took a deep breath inwardly. Mu Daxian's art student ID was [X0210905182], indicating that Mu Daxian was the 182nd experience student to enter the school on September 5, X021. “Could it be that they were experience students of the same batch?”

The form teacher walked to the other side of the bookshelf and pulled out a file, a blue folder with “S1-B2-X021” written on the side.

“I didn't pay that much attention at first, until I found Mu Daxian's school registration record…”

She opened the folder and turned to the school registration records for September.

“Mu Daxian, X0210905182… Disappeared the second day after entering the school, and was confirmed to have entered the 'Black Moon Apostle' path of the art student system on the fifth day, and achieved some extraordinary results during the Gray Mist invasion period.”

“Yuan Datou, X0210905193… There were several records of being absent from roll call during the period, but overall he didn't show much abnormality and left the campus after seven days.”

“Such records exist in multiple backups in the official database, but this record can no longer be found in the level that can be easily accessed.”

“Within S City University, each office has corresponding school registration records, and they are still the original documents… As soon as I investigated Mu Daxian, I saw Yuan Datou's sign-in record.”

“So, Yuan Datou's first school registration record can only be found here, which from one perspective shows that 039's investigation was correct, someone deliberately erased Yuan Datou's school registration record.”
