Chapter 559: Chapter 252: The Last "Song Rentou" Check-in Record_2

He rubbed his eyes fiercely and looked again, only to see the green envelope had turned into a blue one.

"Huh?" He looked once more and discovered that the envelope... seemed to have no color, wait, was it white?

Just as he was about to take a closer look, Class Teacher-040 pulled out a notebook from inside and then closed the drawer.

She quickly made some notes in the notebook, then looked at Lin Yi with a dawning realization in her eyes, "That does explain it..."

"Explain what?"

"What you’ve attracted."

"I... could it be that I’ve attracted the Sneering Angel?"

"Not exactly attracted," Class Teacher-040 said, "but since this is the first time this has occurred, I can’t be sure. It’s never been said that dreaming of the Sneering Angel would lead to anything, wait, how did you know it’s called the Sneering Angel?"

"Damn!" Lin Yi’s scalp tingled, thinking she was too perceptive, wasn’t she?!

But in his desperation, he blurted out cleverly, "I named it that because I saw an eerie smile on its face. Is that its actual name?"

"Oh... I see." With the precedence of ’Heretical Choir’ and its naming, Class Teacher-040 suddenly believed Lin Yi’s words.

Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking how difficult it had been, he hadn’t gotten any extra information from Class Teacher-040 and nearly had his underwear yanked off...

"Anyway, you should head to the Gymnasium, they have ways to remove the mark," Class Teacher-040 said. "As for the dorm... nothing must’ve happened since you’re fine."

"But it seemed like I heard... the sound of water flowing in the bathroom!"

"Someone showering, isn’t that pretty normal?"

"Teacher... if that was during the period I woke up at dawn, would that still be normal?"

"..."

Class Teacher-040 fell silent for a moment, then slowly began, "Is there... anything else?"

Lin Yi had already prepared his response, and upon hearing this, he nodded, replying, "After I woke up, it felt like something crawled onto my bed..."

"What kind of thing?"

"Squishy, kind of like silicone slime? Or some kind of rubber with elasticity? I wasn’t sure what it was through the blanket... but when I woke up in the morning, everything in the dorm was normal, no trace of anything."

"Okay, got it."

"Uh, Teacher, don’t you have anything to say?"

"What more can I say?" Class Teacher-040 paused, then walked over to Lin Yi, patted his shoulder, sighed, and said with a helpless expression, "You’ve got so many flags raised and you’re still jumping around lively. You’re doing quite well."

"I maintain my point, if there’s an issue, wait until you’ve made it to the Gymnasium. Some of the Sports Students might have answers for you, like... you seem to have a good relationship with Xu Shunkang, you can ask him, see if he will tell you anything."

Seeing that Class Teacher-040 seemed to be tight-lipped about the dorm, Lin Yi knew it would likely be very difficult to pry any information from her, so he said, "Then wouldn’t now be the perfect time to head to the Gymnasium under the splendid sunshine?"

Class Teacher-040 was taken aback for a moment by Lin Yi’s words before she asked, "Aren’t you going to eat?"

"There are issues with the Cafeteria... I don’t feel very safe eating there," Lin Yi shrugged and confessed, "Plus, I’ve bought a loaf of bread and a roll of cookies; that should be enough to fill my stomach, right?"

"You even know about the Cafeteria’s problem...?" Class Teacher-040 found Lin Yi to be quite adorable, with all sorts of "surprises."

"The Cafeteria opened only the middle three serving windows this morning, and the chefs had this really strange look in their eyes, I knew something was off..." Lin Yi said.

"Alright then," Class Teacher-040 said, "but from the timing, lunchtime is the safest. Even if you skip dinner, I wouldn’t suggest skipping lunch. You should eat and then head straight to the Gymnasium."

"Okay then," Lin Yi nodded.

"Alright, let’s talk business now, what did you need to see me about?"

Lin Yi thought to himself that what they had been discussing just now was pretty important too...

He reached into his pocket and, after some fumbling, took out a piece of paper. He unfolded it to confirm its contents, and then handed the paper to the Class Teacher, "I obtained this paper from the locker in the dormitory; it seems to have been left by a group of residents who once lived there."

"The information on the paper...I’m not reading it very smoothly, it may have been written in a state of mental instability, or there might be deceptive information in it, the authenticity is questionable."

"The most critical point is, according to the ’owner’ of the paper, the person who wrote it...is named ’Song Rentou’, and the student ID is ’X0230402017’..."

Class Teacher-040 quickly took the paper and started looking at it.

"The name Song Rentou is very unusual; I feel like under normal circumstances no one would choose this name. Besides, if I remember correctly, one of my classmates...currently goes by the name of Song Rentou."

Class Teacher-040 returned to her desk, opened the blue folder, and started flipping through the list "whoosh whoosh."

"April... Song Rentou..."

"Found it!"

Lin Yi quickly stretched his neck to get a closer look.

The Class Teacher snapped the folder shut.

"What are you doing?"

"I just want to have a look!"

"You can’t."

Lin Yi, as if possessed by Maozi, suddenly let his mouth slip, "Oh come on teacher, don’t be like that; just let me have a quick look!"

"What did you say?!" Class Teacher-040’s eyebrows knitted together in a frown.

"Cough..." Lin Yi cursed under his breath, having accidentally mastered a bit of Maozi’s slip of the tongue after a whole evening of impersonation. What a mess! He quickly said, "Teacher, I’m a bit curious too, and since this happened last month, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to take a look now, right?"

"Besides, this Song Rentou seems to have an opinion about me... I feel like I might have to deal with him moving forward. I really want to know if the ’Song Rentou’ in our class is the same ’Song Rentou’ who left this paper."

"You think a mere attendance record will suffice?" Class Teacher-040 cast him a glance.

Lin Yi said, "Even if it doesn’t, it’s better to have some information. And for some reason, I always feel that the Song Rentou in our class... carries a very dangerous air."

"Fine, let’s be precautious." Class Teacher-040 opened the folder again and flipped to the page for Song Rentou’s April attendance.

"There’s definitely a problem!"

Song Rentou’s name didn’t include "〇" or "/", and he had signed in for seven days; the attendance records for the first four days were all "√", but from the fifth day onward, up to the morning of the sixth day, they were all "×". The evening of the sixth day and the morning of the seventh day were back to a normal "√".

"What’s missing here?" Lin Yi pointed to the empty space for the evening of the seventh day and asked.

Class Teacher-040 replied, "This means he left the campus area... Look here."

At the end of Song Rentou’s attendance line, there was another "√", but this one was outside the grid, which according to Class Teacher-040 meant it was a marker for leaving the campus area.

"Could it be something that happened in this day and a half?" Lin Yi mumbled.

Class Teacher-040 shook her head slightly, "Let’s talk about it after I’ve read the paper."

"Uh, okay... Eh, teacher, are you planning to discuss it with me?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

Class Teacher-040 gave him a deep look, "Don’t flatter yourself, I can handle it on my own."

"Alright then..." Lin Yi spread his hands, "Take your time teacher, I have some other matters to attend to, so I’m off."

"Go on, go on," Class Teacher-040 waved him off disdainfully.

Lin Yi shrank his neck and silently left the Teacher’s Office.

"Hey." Just as Lin Yi touched the doorknob, Class Teacher-040 called out to Lin Yi.
