Chapter 242: Chapter 114: Phalanx of Sculptures [Happy Spring Festival to Everyone!!!]

Just at this moment, Class Head 040 seemed to sense his gaze, looked up to meet his eyes, and then gently smiled, tucking a few loose strands of hair behind her ear.

This response, instead of reassuring Lin Yi, made him feel a trace of surprise and even more certain of a conjecture—the new class head 040 must know something about him.

At the moment, since he couldn’t figure out the mystery hidden in the sign-in folder, he simply stopped overthinking it, retracted his gaze from Class Head 040, and began pondering.

In fact, for others, the change of class head might be somewhat baffling, but for him, there were clues to follow, considering yesterday the class head used him as an anchor, making him watch as his own clothes were removed.

According to what the class head initially said, his "Lin Yi-X0230506098" class head was the person wearing the badge ’Class Head-B2-039’. The moment the class head removed her uniform, it was like shedding the ’Class Head’ status.

So today, there was a new class head—’040’.

But judging from Class Head 040’s behavior, she seemed to know something.

’Did Class Head 039 leave behind information before leaving, telling her that I have a high level of inspiration?’

Only that would explain why Class Head 040 didn’t stop him from watching the video on the digital camera.

Because even if Class Head 040 knew that the digital camera couldn’t capture the conceptual sculptures, it couldn’t guarantee that he would still maintain firm cognition after seeing the video of the non-human classmates killing Pan Jian.

But what made him suspicious was, did Class Head 040 really only know this much?

["With inspiration like yours, hitting the roof, the school, the company would never have let you in!"]

"What is going on... What exactly is going on?"

"How is this different from sending you in to die?"]

Class Head 039’s words from before flashed through his mind, and he held a conservative speculation about whether Class Head 040 knew the reason why he was allowed in.

Lin Yi glanced at the time.

’8:53.’

He withdrew his gaze, preparing to adjust his state and then begin reciting the two rules of the Art Department, but when he grabbed the pen, he couldn’t quiet his mind to start reciting, no matter what.

An irritation was spreading continuously in his heart and a thought quietly spread through his mind, gradually gaining the upper hand in driving force—

’Go check out that window.’

The thought solidified, a strong impulse constantly hammering at his heart.

’Go take a look, there must be clues there!’

As if the whispers of a demon were gently murmuring in his ear, Lin Yi couldn’t distinguish whether this was actually his subconscious thought or... an impetus from some indescribable entity.

But he couldn’t resist the temptation of an action that might allow him to glimpse part of the truth, so he took a deep breath and slowly approached the window.

As he drew closer, he began to anchor his position in advance with a ’self-proclaimed very firm’ will in his heart to prevent any accidental cognitive distortion:

’My name is Lin Yi, my student number is X0230506098, I am in class B2...’

He quickly reached the spot where the vague figure had been crouched the previous night, leaned close to the explosion-proof glass, and looked toward the windowsill.

As expected, there were white plaster-like traces on the windowsill, but no other signs.

’Nothing else?’

He muttered, feeling somewhat disappointed, then withdrew his gaze.

But just then, in a fleeting glance, he accidentally saw the Green Forest Belt in the distance, and was instantly stunned.

He saw a phalanx composed almost entirely of sculptures...

The sky was clear, the sunlight splendid, and at this close to 9 o’clock, the sunshine illuminated the earth with a bright transparency.

And the Green Forest Belt outside building B of the Teaching Building had also dispersed much of the mist due to sunlight, leaving only the parts deep inside still enveloped in fog.

What Lin Yi saw was the area further inside from the edge of the Green Forest Belt, now dense with a phalanx of sculptures resembling Terracotta Warriors.

These sculptures froze under the sunlight, their large numbers spreading across the fields like Little Demons in Lion Camel Ridge, from the edge of the Green Forest Belt right into the depths shrouded in mist...

Lin Yi’s scalp tingled as if it had been struck by lightning, and a chill rolled over his spine.

’There’s a phalanx of sculptures lurking in the Green Forest Belt?’

He thought of the battle-worn version of the Little Genius Sculpture he had seen on the morning of May 7th. The Little Genius Sculpture was not on this side of the Green Forest Belt. Now, comparing the two scenes, he suddenly felt the illusion that the Little Genius Sculpture had gone missing from this phalanx.

’Those sculptures... they are not of the Conceptual Rank kind, they appear to be purely sculpture-like, similar to the group of sculptures in the stairwell that leads from the negative first floor of the Teaching Building to the Dormitory building, but not as abstract as those in the stairwell!’

In comparison, the sculptures here were very human-like.

But that raised a question.

[All the sculptures inside the campus are busts, and they are all kept in the Art Building. If you see complete human sculptures anywhere else on campus, please find a lamp post with a number... Follow the lamp post back to the building closest to you.]
