#450 - The Secret of the Abandoned Classroom

And what he was now looking at was the connecting corridor leading to Building C.

As he gazed at the corridor, a golden light surged in his eyes, and "Vision Insight" was quietly activated.

His vision seemed to leave his body, quickly traversing the corridor, and then, in an instant, he saw several Giggling Angels lying in wait deep within the corridor.

"Careless…" Lin Yi gritted his teeth, his tone somewhat displeased, "It seems the Giggling Angels have fully invaded this side…"

"Linlinzi, what do we do? I heard the boss say that if you encounter a Giggling Angel, you must escape back to the gymnasium at the first opportunity…" Li Huiyuan's voice held a hint of fear, "Since neither side is safe, should we choose the stairwell? Returning to the campus layer, they might not be able to catch up!"

Now, she was no longer an ignorant novice, knowing that without an old kerosene lamp, there was no way to fight the Giggling Angels.

And being entangled by these incorporeal Giggling Angels would only lead to death, or something even more terrifying than death.

"Don't panic, I'm here." Although Lin Yi was also a little flustered, he certainly couldn't let his fear affect Li Huiyuan.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Almost every rule mentioned one sentence: Do not close your eyes at any time—but he still closed his eyes.

Because—

"My World! Open—!!"

Lin Yi roared in his heart, his body seemingly plunged into an endless darkness, and his perception rippled out like a circle centered on him!

His perception began to frantically penetrate the surrounding world, feeding back the entire world to his mind in a grid-like manner.

Corridor…

Stairwell…

Building A Corridor…

Building C Corridor…

Teachers' Office…

Group B Class 15…

Centered on him, the appearance of the "Forbidden Area - B-5F" of the teaching building was meticulously depicted in his mind.

Moreover, his perception began to spread downwards towards the steps on one hand, and continued to spread along the corridor in front of the classroom on the other hand…

"No… can't go downstairs…" he murmured to himself.

"Huh?" Li Huiyuan was puzzled.

"The layer isn't fluctuating, we can't go down even if we reach the stairwell… There are six Giggling Angels squatting there… If the campus side doesn't have clouds blocking the sunlight, we'll be attacked by the Giggling Angels…"

Going downstairs would be a gamble: whether the Giggling Angels would kill them first, or the clouds would block the sunlight first, allowing them to return to the campus.

And the dangerous thing was that the Giggling Angels were also good at penetrating layers.

Even if they started crossing layers, they wouldn't be able to escape the Giggling Angels' attack unless they reached the sunlight.

Lin Yi really hoped to encounter the Furious Angels; that way, he could use some violent means.

Unfortunately, the Giggling Angels were currently outside his damage range.

No matter how high the physical attack, encountering physical immunity meant being easily manipulated.

His perception continued to spread…

Group B Class 14…

Group B Class 13…

"Eh?!"

Lin Yi's heart was overjoyed.

"The door to Group B Class 13… is closed! There are also some remnants of school uniforms at the door!"

"Moreover, there are ten Giggling Angels in the corridor, but they are all distributed closer to our side; there are almost none near Class 13."

"Do you mean that Class 13… might be hiding people from the past in the campus, and we can take refuge in Class 13?" Li Huiyuan asked.

Lin Yi nodded: "The closed door means that there is a world completely isolated by the 'door attribute' on the Class 13 side! My perception can't penetrate it!"

"The school uniform fragments at the door are still new, meaning that there is at least one 'student' hiding inside!"

"Then what about those Giggling Angels?" Li Huiyuan pointed to the ten Giggling Angel statues standing like sentries in the corridor.

"Charge straight through!" Lin Yi said, "I can't fight the Giggling Angels outside the gymnasium for now…"

"But since the Giggling Angels haven't woken up yet, we have time. We just need to enter the classroom before they wake up and attack us!"

Lin Yi had rich experience in dodging Giggling Angels, and his control over the Giggling Angels' awakening time was also surprisingly accurate.

Nothing else, just familiarity.

"Go!" Thinking of this, he directly grabbed Li Huiyuan's hand and charged forward.

Sure enough, when he approached the Giggling Angels, their senses captured Lin Yi's movements, and they all began to make "crack, crack" sounds and gradually began to awaken.

Lin Yi's goal was very clear: to brush past them and head straight for the door of Group B Class 13.

The Giggling Angels began to awaken one after another…

Lin Yi arrived at the door of Group B Class 13, looked up to confirm the door number, and then reached out and pressed the doorknob.

"Click!"

"Click, click! Click, click, click…"

The door was locked from the inside.

"Damn it!" Lin Yi couldn't help but curse, but he was certain that there was definitely a normal person hiding inside the door.

After all, only a living person could come up with such a ghostly operation of locking the door from the inside.

"Click, click…"

He couldn't open the door and was so anxious that he wanted to break the door directly, but considering the existence of the door attribute, forcing it would only create unexpected incidents.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him—

《Sports Student Rules》Rule Article 1!

【The "Sports Student Certificate" is not a physical object, but a special biological code that is engraved in your biological information when you start the sports student course.

When you are proficient in using the "Sports Student Certificate", you can use this method to open most things in the campus that have the "door" attribute.

Before that, you can use the 《Sports Student Rules》to replace the "Sports Student Certificate" and exert some similar effects in the gymnasium.】

Lin Yi originally wanted to take out his 《Sports Student Rules》, but considering that he was not a sports student, he grabbed Li Huiyuan's hand and held the doorknob to be on the safe side.

"Do you still remember the rules?" Lin Yi said concisely, while observing the Giggling Angels' recovery, "You can use the 'Sports Student Certificate' to open most things with the 'door' attribute; you open the door!"

"Uh, ah, oh, oh, oh, okay!" Li Huiyuan was stunned for a moment, but she immediately reacted.

Soon, the "click, click" sound of the lock tongue turning rang from inside the door. After a few clicks, Li Huiyuan opened the door.

"It's open!"

"Go!"

The two quickly entered behind the door, and just as the door seam closed, Lin Yi met the gaze of a Giggling Angel who had lowered its palm.

But not giving it a chance to float over, he decisively closed the door.

"Bang!"

Then, almost instinctively, he subconsciously locked the door a few times, performing this ghostly operation that he somewhat disdained, and sighed that it was just human nature.

A strong wind howled outside the door, as if one could hear the sound of the Giggling Angels floating around, but the Giggling Angels, who could even penetrate the walls of the art building, could not enter this door.

Through the classroom window glass, they could also see the ghostly figures floating around.

Although Lin Yi knew that those were Giggling Angels, the shadows reflected on the window still made people subconsciously feel their scalps tingle.

"This might be one of the eerie figures mentioned in the 'Teaching Building Code'…" Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh. If a staunch materialist warrior who had just entered the school saw this scene, it would be strange if they could maintain their composure.

Immediately afterward, the Grinning Angel, unable to enter the door after a long time, simply left.

"Phew…" Li Huiyuan patted her chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the classroom door began to tremble violently.

"Dong, dong, dong! Dong, dong, dong!"

Someone was knocking on the door!

"Ah!" Li Huiyuan was right by the door, and the knocking was so intense that it seemed to resonate through her, startling her into an instinctive scream.

"Don't be afraid, it should be the Grinning Angel." Lin Yi quietly reassured Li Huiyuan, while also narrowing his eyes slightly. "Knocking means they can't get in."

Lin Yi felt that this might be related to the door's properties, but he also felt that it was more than that, perhaps there were more details involved.

The knocking became heavier and heavier, and the entire door "clang, clang, clang" shook. Soon, the explosion-proof glass began to emit a muffled vibration as well.

"Ignore them." Lin Yi lowered his voice, slowly withdrawing his attention and focusing it on the classroom.

As his attention shifted, the Grinning Angel outside the door gradually faded away.

The entire classroom was still in a state of disrepair, with many things already decaying. The folding desks and chairs were covered in dust and cobwebs.

Dense beads of water condensed on the windows, slowly sliding down the glass, creating strange traces in the mist.

Looking out through the windows, one could only see a vast expanse of white mist. The scenery in the distance was completely obscured, as if the entire world had been compressed into this small classroom, completely isolated from the outside world.

Occasionally, a breeze would blow, stirring the curtains. The tattered curtains swayed gently in the mist, making rustling sounds.

Time seemed to be frozen in this classroom, and vitality seemed to have been drawn away, leaving only endless silence and indescribable fear. Lin Yi felt as if he were in a church in Silent Hill, with unknown horrors and mysteries hidden in every corner…

"That's not right…" Lin Yi became alert. "Where's the guy who locked the door?"

The abandoned classroom was empty, but fortunately, Lin Yi could use his perception.

"Buzz…"

Invisible ripples spread out, and with him as the center, the entire classroom began to be imprinted in his mind.

Finally, he captured some subtle fluctuations. These fluctuations were like mixing a ribbon into a large area of colorful air currents. At first glance, you couldn't see it, but upon closer inspection, you could distinguish it.

Following this trajectory, he discovered that there seemed to be something unusual in the messy bookshelf area.

He suddenly sensed a faint sound of wind, "whooshing," as if it were being squeezed into the classroom from a cracked gap.

He moved his feet, crossed the podium, walked up the steps of the lecture hall, and slowly approached the bookshelf area.

"Lin Linzi… be careful." Li Huiyuan said with concern.

They had been holding hands, which was the most cost-effective safety measure.

Some withered yellow papers were scattered on the steps of the classroom. Some of the papers came from book pages, and some were from notebooks. Most of the papers were covered with messy handwriting, and it was impossible to tell what was written at a glance.

As he approached the bookshelf area, an odd feeling gradually arose in Lin Yi's heart. Vaguely, he seemed to feel a wind gently caressing the books on the bookshelf, and the subtle sound of pages turning reached his ears.

A salty, damp smell also began to permeate the air.

Lin Yi had some ominous premonitions. That salty, damp smell was a scent that only the sea breeze had.

Almost out of a subconscious act, as soon as he arrived at the bookshelf area, he immediately looked out following a strange sense. His attention was not on the bookshelf, but on the place where the wind came from…

Li Huiyuan did the same. With just one glance, she exclaimed subconsciously: "Lin, Lin Linzi… look there!"

Of course, Lin Yi also saw it. Behind those abandoned bookshelves, the strong explosion-proof glass had been torn open, like a helmet that had been smashed through with a blunt weapon.

The cold, salty sea breeze blew into the classroom through the crack, and the sea breeze was also mixed with some scattered spots, like a swirling wind blowing through a bonfire, stirring up sparks in the wood chips, floating in the entire world.

"Ashes… it's all ashes!"

Lin Yi's pupils contracted. The ashes here were much denser than the scattered specks in volcanic ash. If they all fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And in the direction Li Huiyuan was pointing, there was also a figure curled up in the corner, shivering.

"Is it him?" Lin Yi immediately recognized that the person was the "non-existent person" who had escaped from the class in the morning.

He came here after leaving the classroom, and then locked the door?

Wait, maybe it wasn't locked!

He suddenly focused his attention and turned his head to look in the direction of the classroom door.

"Vision Insight" activated, and his eyes followed his perception to the door as if he had X-ray vision.

As expected, there were a lot of scratches on the door, and the doorknob also showed signs of being damaged.

"So that's how it is!"

"It really doesn't have the ability to 'open doors'!"

Lin Yi guessed that after it escaped from Class 2 of Group B, it went up to the fifth floor by instinct, just like the Nightwalkers, and then accidentally entered this classroom.

It closed the door, but didn't know that it couldn't open it. By the time it found out, it was too late.

In the end, it must have seen the gap in the window and wanted to escape from here, but failed for some reason and was trapped here.

It can't leave through the door, but it wants to go through the door.

It can leave through the window, but it doesn't want to anymore.

There must be a problem.

Could it be related to the "ashes"?

Lin Yi thought that this guy was likely created by Yaman, and was probably inseparable from the ashes.

He didn't rashly follow the homeroom teacher - 040's advice to act first and report later, but observed this non-existent person, quietly using his perception tentacles to touch it and sense it.

Before he was sure of the details, what if it self-destructed as soon as he made a move?

Too dangerous.

If he can seek stability now, there's no need to be so aggressive.

As his perception approached and Vision Insight progressed, Lin Yi discovered that this non-existent person had undergone some strange changes compared to the morning.
