Chapter 33 - 33 15 Void Target Search_2

33: Chapter 15 “Void Target Search”_2 33: Chapter 15 “Void Target Search”_2 Lin Yi was taken aback, and confusion arose on the spot, “Right, how come you’re completely fine?

We were so close, didn’t you hear Little Genius die?”

“I did hear it!”

“Then, when Little Genius’s body fell, did you hear that too?”

“I heard that too…”

“Damn…

You heard everything yet felt nothing?” Lin Yi stepped back, scrutinizing Wei Liang from head to toe, “Are you…

that thick-skinned?”

Lin Yi originally thought he could gain some inspiration from Wei Liang’s actions, only to find that Wei Liang hadn’t done anything at all!

‘Wait a second…?!’

‘Didn’t do anything?’

“Liangzi, after the power went out, you hid under the desk, and then?

Did you just do nothing?”

“Yeah!

Just stared at the leg of the desk, then my mind wandered to…

you know…

heh heh, those kind of things!”

“…”

“However, maybe I have a very unique skill in staring at desk legs, not sure if it’s related.”

“Oh?” Lin Yi looked at him curiously, “What skill?”

“Heh heh, look!”

Wei Liang lifted a finger in front of him and then slowly brought it closer to his nose, bulging his eyes and suddenly crossing them.

“All I have to do is this, then I can’t see anything except the desk leg!

Even if the King of Heaven came, all I’d see in my eyes is the leg of the table!”

Lin Yi: “…”

“So, think it’s useful?” Wei Liang said with a chuckle.

He closed his eyes and shook his head, “The only downside is that my eyes get sore after a while, but you get used to it.”

Lin Yi heaved a deep sigh, his mind full of conflict, and finally he sighed helplessly, “I never would’ve thought, kid, that you had such crafty tricks up your sleeve.”

Wei Liang waved it off, “Just a minor skill, never thought it would actually come in handy…

Why don’t you give it a try?”

Lin Yi shook his head, “Forget it.”

Wei Liang insisted seriously, “Hey!

Don’t just dismiss it, who knows?

It might actually be useful.”

Lin Yi, unable to withstand Wei Liang’s persistence, reluctantly made the cross-eyed expression once.

Wei Liang burst into laughter all of a sudden, couldn’t help saying, “Old Lin, your IQ seems to drop by 250 when you make that expression!”

Lin Yi snorted coldly, was about to retort, but suddenly he froze.

“Hmm?!” Lin Yi shook his head, his eyes returned to normal, showing a surprised expression.

“Eh?

What’s with the ‘hmm’?” Wei Liang was puzzled.

“This—?!” Lin Yi narrowed his eyes in thought, then swiftly became serious.

“Damn, did you discover something?” Wei Liang said excitedly, “Is it because of the inspiration you got from me…

spit spit spit, from me?”

Lin Yi nodded and said, “As much as I hate to admit it, it actually is.”

Just now, when doing the cross-eyed trick, Lin Yi realized that apart from a single point, everything in his field of vision was distorted.

If it were dark, even if that student really came up close, what he would see could just be a messy tangle.

Without the ability to grasp at shadows, if you think of something utterly unrelated in your mind, it’s really hard for sounds alone to make you imagine creepy things.

Wei Liang managed to sever his connection with the creepy environment by adopting this method the moment he grabbed the desk leg!

‘The show-off is real, but the flaunt is real too.’

“I believe that’s what happened…” Lin Yi was about to share his analysis with Wei Liang, but Wei Liang waved his hands repeatedly, “Eh, wait wait wait!

I don’t want to hear it!”

“Huh?”

“What do you mean ‘huh’?

I don’t want to know anything, heh heh heh.

I just need to know the very basic rules, that’s it.

The less I know about the rest…

the better.”

Wei Liang’s smile was complacent, his eyes hidden under the brim of his cap held a depth and wisdom.

Lin Yi felt even more certain that Wei Liang didn’t just survive last time by luck.

For instance, at times like this, Wei Liang seemed to be contemplating something profoundly deep…

Sure enough, Wei Liang raised his hand and pointed behind Lin Yi, “Old Lin, those books over there have interesting covers…

Since you’ve made up your mind, how about checking out the comics, and spending this long night in the wondrous harem comics?”

Lin Yi opened his mouth dumbfounded, was Wei Liang’s deep gaze just now actually about picking out comics…?

‘6 ah…’

“Hey, don’t space out!

Let’s go, pick some comics!” Wei Liang tugged at Lin Yi’s clothes, urging, “Remember what Xu Shunkang and the others said?

The more you think, the more dangerous it gets, let’s go, read comics, and if the lights flicker later, do what I told you!”

“All right…” Lin Yi couldn’t resist Wei Liang’s pulling and, smiling wryly, was dragged to the bookshelf.

A moment later, Lin Yi and Wei Liang each left the shelf area with some comic books in hand.

Passing by the desks area, Lin Yi noticed that the legs of every desk had been nailed to the floor tiles, a design that turned the desks into a sort of makeshift refuge.

‘So that guy really wanted to flip the table just now but gave up because it was welded shut?

It wasn’t because I held the desk down?’

He noticed that one of the desks had obvious signs of being knocked, and if one observed closely, you could also find a trace of blood on the desktop.

That was the desk Little Genius’s corpse had hit, and underneath that desktop…

Lin Yi’s pupils constricted.

“Just as I thought!”

Visible to the naked eye, there were white scratch marks on the leg of the desk close to the desktop, as if someone had scraped it with plaster.

That desk was precisely the one Lin Yi had hidden under just now, and the desk Wei Liang had hidden under…

really had nothing wrong with it.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but admire Wei Liang.

As they passed by the desks, he noticed the same note pasted on every desk which read:

[Art Students only, other students are prohibited from sitting and reading at the desks.]

Lin Yi was slightly startled but quickly realized something strange—the vast tiered classroom had a large area with desks at the back, yet not a single person was sitting there.

Everyone was seated on the foldable chairs in the tiered classroom, using the desks folded down from the seats for their books.

‘So is it because of this that no one came to sit here?’

Lin Yi had no time to ponder further and, holding his comic books, followed Wei Liang back to their original seats.

After setting down the comic books, Lin Yi looked down at his watch.

23:45.

‘It’s only 23:45?’

Although the last time he checked his watch it had been 22:43, the intervening period felt as long as a century.

Yet only an hour had passed by now?

He leaned back slightly, placing all his weight on the back of the chair and then looked up at the ceiling, taking a long sigh.

“This really is a long night…”

Worry flickered in his eyes, and then, the sound of flipping pages suddenly echoed in his ears.

Next to him, Wei Liang had already started to read a comic anthology, his face beaming with enthusiasm.

“Well, it seems that to someone, it isn’t.”

He took a deep breath and then touched his arm.

“What, still feeling uncomfortable?” asked Wei Liang without looking up from turning the pages.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and replied helplessly, “Anyone would feel uncomfortable being stared at like that, let alone this kind of gaze.”

Wei Liang glanced back at that classmate and then, with a half-joking shrug, said, “So what do we do?

Now is not the time to think of a plan…

Eh, what’s that expression for?”

Lin Yi squinted, not sure what he was thinking, but Wei Liang felt that Lin Yi wasn’t pondering a problem but had thought of something.

“You…

have an idea?”

Lin Yi looked back at the classmate and then turned to Wei Liang, stretched out, and, looking Wei Liang in the eye, he said slowly, “Do you think…

there’s a way to distract his attention from me?”
