Did I just…?!” Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang in surprise.
At this moment, Wei Liang’s face was full of anxiety and fear, and through his eyes, Lin Yi suddenly realized—
He was surrounded again!
The same situation as before had occurred, as his surroundings swiftly filled up with classmates.
They gathered densely around him like sunflower seeds, blocking him against the window.
And these classmates still wore that eerie, standardized smile as if copied and pasted!
Such smiles, coupled with their pale, malnourished faces, gave Lin Yi the strong illusion of being in a wax museum.
This time, it was not just Wei Liang who came; Xu Shunkang, the sports student, had also appeared beside him at some unknown time.
Xu Shunkang positioned himself and Wei Liang behind him, and set himself with a stance ready to strike at any moment, his gaze warily confronting the dense crowd.
But when Lin Yi woke up, these people once again moved away slowly, taking extremely slow steps.
“Hey.” Xu Shunkang spoke up, stopping a group of classmates with a call.
All the classmates turned around slowly and uniformly, their movements stiff as if they were puppets.
A fierce smile played at the corners of Xu Shunkang’s mouth as he rolled up the “Mountain and Sea Green Battle” and held it in his hand like a blade, pointing it past the crowd:
“I’ve got you all noted down, none of you can escape.”
The group of classmates coldly looked at Xu Shunkang, seemingly imprinting his image in their eyes.
“Sports Student, mind your own business.” One of the classmates said coldly, “Go back to the gymnasium and rot!”
“This is none of your business!
Take care of yourself!”
“Heh heh heh…” Xu Shunkang replied with a dark smile, “Just you watch.”
The group did not respond to Xu Shunkang’s words anymore, instead, they turned around and slowly walked back to their seats.
Watching the dispersing classmates and their rigid backs, Lin Yi was puzzled; how had they approached so silently with such wooden movements?
Xu Shunkang looked at Lin Yi, naturally knowing that Lin Yi had fallen into a sleep-like state again due to his contemplations.
So he warned sternly, “It seems you really didn’t take what I just said seriously…
Listen, Lin Yi, I’m warning you seriously, please stop thinking about all sorts of nonsense!”
“You can’t understand the things in this school!”
“If you insist on trying to understand them with that little head of yours…” Xu Shunkang pointed to the group retreating back to their seats, staring straight at them, “they will be your example!”
“I…” Lin Yi also felt a bit embarrassed and began by apologizing, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to, I don’t know what happened just now…
It felt like something was guiding me to think…”
“But can’t I even think about issues?” he questioned.
He also remembered the almost prophetic warning Tian Bufan had given him when they parted—keep thinking, don’t blindly trust others.
Compared to Xu Shunkang, he definitely trusted Tian Bufan unconditionally.
Xu Shunkang narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then admonished, “This campus does not need people who think about issues.
Don’t overthink, and don’t try to understand things you cannot comprehend…”
“Every place has its secrets, but once you learn the secrets, you become part of them.”
“And once you become part of the secrets, you can never escape.”
