Chapter 555: Chapter 250 What Have You Provoked_2

"Alright..." Wei Liang spread his hands, "To prove XP yourself, you’re really on top of it. Go ahead and stake out here; I’m going to use the bathroom."

"Uh... okay."

"Why are you looking at me like that? Now that I’m here, I might as well relieve myself." Wei Liang said with disdain, and then headed towards the restroom.

Lin Yi walked to a spot near the Corridor Bridge and the staircase, found a pillar as cover, and, even though there were hardly any students around, he dramatically leaned against the pillar, pretending to be curiously observing the mountainous scenery outside.

He planned to wait for about 10 minutes. If there was no activity after that, he would check out the Moss near the Corridor Bridge, then knock on the door of Class Teacher-040’s office, hand over the note, and let the bullets fly.

As expected, after just three minutes, the door of the Teacher’s Office opened.

Song Rentou sneakily peeked out half his head through the door crack, then cautiously climbed out, closed the door, and immediately returned to the classroom.

"He really went to see Class Teacher-040... But what was he doing?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Song Rentou didn’t know what he was up to, and if Lin Yi went to submit the note now, could he... be counterattacked?

He became hesitant.

Finally, he took a deep breath and made up his mind.

So he waited for Wei Liang to finish in the restroom and then said, "Liangzi, wait here for me a moment; I’m going to give the note to Teacher Lin."

Wei Liang thought for a moment, then replied, "Okay, I’ll wait for you."

"Hmm." Lin Yi nodded, noting to himself that Wei Liang clearly understood why he was asked to wait.

Then he knocked on the door of the Teacher’s Office.

A few seconds later, the voice of Class Teacher-040 came from behind the door: "Who is it?"

"Teacher, it’s Lin Yi. I need to see you about something."

The peephole clicked open, Class Teacher-040 looked at Lin Yi through it, then opened the door.

"Come in and talk."

The door opened, and Lin Yi walked in without hesitation.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to step over the threshold into the office, Class Teacher-040 suddenly pressed a hand against his chest.

"Wait a moment!"

For the first time, a tone of tension crept into Class Teacher-040’s voice.

"?" Lin Yi was taken aback, but quickly noticed that Class Teacher-040’s gaze was not on his face during the attempt to stop him from entering, but instead... it was looking over his shoulder!

"This...?!"

A chill went down Lin Yi’s spine as he followed the direction of Class Teacher-040’s focus, gently turning his head a bit, his peripheral vision stretching behind him like tendrils, wildly probing.

Behind him should be the corridor, and outside the corridor, a row of steps extending towards the Cobblestone path, both of which should have been covered by the sun.

But at that moment, he felt a cold, damp breath lingering behind him, like the presence of a monster covered in ice and snow, hesitantly wandering.

The light behind him was dim, like the slippery entrance to a cave, with flickering mist floating about, resembling a mouth opened in bitter cold, emitting a thin smoke...

In that mist seemed to be a vague human silhouette, which appeared humanoid yet seemed pieced together by numerous twisted shadows.

Its eyes, if they could be called eyes, shimmered with a profound and cold light, as if they could peer into the deepest recesses of the soul...

Its form was elusive, at times like a fluctuating wisp of smoke, and then solidifying into a tall and malformed outline.

Its movements were unnaturally smooth and eerie, at times crumbling like a disintegrating cookie from humanoid form, only to quickly pull itself back together, a bizarre rhythm that seemed to challenge the limits of physical laws.

Its presence exerted an indescribable sense of oppression, as if a nameless terror from an ancient cosmos had taken physical form, exuding a sinister and captivating essence...

"This..."

Lin Yi’s ears were filled with the hurried sound of whipping wind, as if he were engulfed by an invisible storm, his hair and clothes rustling loudly.

In that wind, there seemed to begin a distant call...

Just then, the hand that Director-040 had pressed against his chest suddenly clenched into a fist, which was not actually a fist, but a grasp tightening on his shirtfront.

The next moment, Lin Yi felt an immense force from Director-040’s hand pulling him violently into the office.

He quickly twisted his neck back, but as soon as he did, he saw Director-040’s eyes blazing like fierce suns, causing a sharp pain in his own eyes, and he instinctively turned his head aside, then his nostrils were fiercely invaded by a scent of lilacs...

He felt as if his face had touched something as smooth as baby skin. His eyes shifted and he saw Director-040’s ear, very close to him...

Before his mind could even catch up, Director-040’s tone turned extremely cold as she seemed to chant a magic spell into the air behind Lin Yi—

"「Engler Går mOt lySet og går ikkE på Avveie」!!!"

Immediately after, the office door was slammed shut forcefully, with a loud "clang," as if the walls themselves trembled.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

After doing all this, Director-040 exhaled a fragrant breath from her dainty lips as her body continuously heaved.

Lin Yi felt something pressing against his chest. He paused for a moment, then instinctively grasped Director-040’s shoulders, clumsily pushing her back a bit...

"Uh... sorry." Lin Yi apologized instinctively, though he wasn’t exactly sure why he felt sorry.

Director-040’s attention, however, suddenly shifted away from those minor details. She looked at the now-closed office door, her originally calm eyes still flickering with a golden glow.

After catching her breath for a moment, Director-040 then turned her attention back to Lin Yi and asked, "You can tell me now, what do you want?"

"Behind me?" Lin Yi was still somewhat incredulous, wanting to ask about the situation just now.

Seeing this, Director-040 hesitated for a moment, then said, "Do you have any idea what you have attracted?"

Perhaps it was because Lin Yi had a filter of Xu Shunkang, or for some other reason, he sensed that when Director-040 was "questioning" him, the oppression in her tone wasn’t too strong...

I don’t know... He instinctively wanted to say that, but remembering Director-040’s concerned demeanor, he pressed his lips together and seriously recollected his thoughts.

"Attracted what?"

emmm...

「Could it be that guy who impersonated Wei Liang in the dormitory...」

「Or perhaps... the Pseudo-Human Art Student in the cafeteria who wanted to feed me tomatoes? No, wasn’t the Pseudo-Human Art Student taken down by Mu Daxian?」

「What else could there be?」

「The fake Wei Liang in the toilet...? Wasn’t he killed by the sunlight?」

「What else, what else?」

Lin Yi simply couldn’t think of anything else and began to include even the things that had shown the slightest head.

「When I was drawing a lightbulb in my notebook earlier, I ’saw’ that Sneering Angel. Surely it couldn’t be that? Does quantum-gazing count as gazing?」

As Lin Yi furrowed his brows and muttered to himself, a trace of speechlessness flashed unnoticeably in Director-040’s eyes. She thought, come on, brother, do you really have that many clues to recall?

What exactly has set its sights on you?!

At that moment, a wise lightbulb suddenly flashed above Lin Yi’s forehead.

「Wait!」

「Could it be because of this...?」

He seemed to have realized something.
