Chapter 135: Chapter 62: There’s No Way I’m Letting You In

"I—damn! What’s going on?!"

Lin Yi felt every hair on his body stand on end, and his scalp tingled with numbness. A feeling of being watched, mixed with a strong sense of foreboding, poured over his head like water from an ice bucket, chilling him to the core.

"Homeroom teacher?!"

"Could it be that she saw something other than blue... so she wants to kill me?!"

"Does the homeroom teacher have a green version too?"

"At this distance?!"

"This is bad!!"

His pupils first slowly dilated, then violently constricted to the size of pinpoints!

His body tensed in an instant, adrenaline surged rapidly, and he entered some kind of emergency "wartime" state.

However, the expected attack did not happen. All that came was the homeroom teacher’s disordered breathing and a hurried voice, "Wait, wait a second..."

"Don’t... turn your back on me!! Turn back around... quick!!"

"Hurry—!"

Lin Yi had just turned halfway around, and his peripheral vision still allowed him to notice that the white mist was indeed coming from the direction of the homeroom teacher.

"Think carefully about the student rules... think about the Teaching Building rules... think about all your rules!"

"Carefully think... is there any rule that tells you, not to trust the homeroom teacher?"

"Quick... turn back, or else, I can’t hold on any longer!"

Lin Yi rapidly went through all the rules he remembered in his mind, and then, he slowly turned his body back.

"Whoosh—"

The homeroom teacher appeared behind him like a ghost. She might have just arrived or might have been there all along.

She stood straight, her head slightly bowed, her face a mess of hair presented right in front of Lin Yi.

At such a close distance, Lin Yi could even breathe in her hot breath mixed with frost particles...

Cold yet violent, stinging yet numbing.

It gave off a sense of pure malice, but this malice also met with extreme restraint from its bearer.

At this moment, the homeroom teacher gave Lin Yi a profoundly complex sensation—a blend of instinctive evil and rational restraint!

But the homeroom teacher just maintained an extreme state of restraint, and with Lin Yi’s turning, the cold and the breath seemed to be turned down like a knob, decreasing sharply at a noticeable speed.

Lin Yi then felt somewhat relieved, and he also noticed that the homeroom teacher was tightly clenching her fists, her muscles taut to the extreme!

Her hair was disheveled, her head lowered, her chest heaving dramatically, as if she had just endured an ordeal.

She gradually steadied her breathing rhythm, then slowly raised her head, staring at Lin Yi...

At that moment, Lin Yi noticed a cold golden light fading from her eyes like a receding tide, seemingly suppressed by her own will.

For a dozen seconds or so, the homeroom teacher’s breathing became much more normal.

She looked at Lin Yi, displaying a forced smile of relief, laden with complex emotions, bitter yet helpless, and said, "Lin Yi, you... just enrolled yesterday, how could you face what just happened with such composure?"

"You, what... what have you experienced today?"

Facing the homeroom teacher’s inquiry, Lin Yi just cautiously eyed her.

He didn’t answer but countered, "Teacher, what’s going on with you?"

The homeroom teacher continued to pant, shaking her head, "You shouldn’t be concerned with such matters... but now it seems you have gained a lot of new ’awareness’ about campus life."

"You..." Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.

The homeroom teacher added, "Don’t worry, I’ve undergone harsh training. Against a will as strong as steel, this bit of ’contamination’ is nothing."

"What do you mean? ’Conta...mination’? Is that a problem with your body?"

He cautiously stepped back, tentatively reaching for the office door.

At this moment, the homeroom teacher was still breathing with some difficulty, but her chest was gradually heaving less violently.

She calmly glanced at Lin Yi’s movement, then continued, "Your ’will’ is far weaker than mine now. Trust me, you wouldn’t like the world behind that door right now."

"There seems to be a lot said about this door." Lin Yi kept his hand on the doorknob, tentatively asking, "It’s surely not some kind of magic door from Doraemon, right? If I insist on opening it, will I go back to that staircase, or somewhere else?"

"It’s definitely not the hallway where the classroom is located, right?"

"You might try." the homeroom teacher said, "But you will need to bear the responsibility for your choice."

Lin Yi stared into the homeroom teacher’s eyes, and she calmly looked back at him.

Eventually, he released his grip on the doorknob.

"That strange thing is now in the hallway of the classroom, right?" he asked the homeroom teacher tentatively.

The intense knocking sound outside the classroom door had somehow stopped; Lin Yi was more convinced that it wasn’t the office that had left its usual trajectory—it wasn’t in the classroom hallway anymore.

The homeroom teacher glanced at him and said, "The hallway lights will drive it away."

"When it realizes it can’t open the door, it’ll also leave."
