Qi Jiu set his sights on the young man who looked elegant and clean and was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

He confirmed again and again. Although he was very reluctant to accept it in his heart, the reality in front of him forced him to confirm that the boy in front of him was his unrelated brother and the biological son of his adoptive parents, Qi Xiaonian.

But Qi Xiaonian shouldn't appear here...

Half a year ago, his adoptive parents took Qi Jiu to attend his younger brother Qi Xiaonian's movie premiere. On the way back, a family of four encountered a serious car accident. The adoptive parents died on the spot. Not only did his younger brother's left hand be amputated, but he was also declared completely unconscious.

ability.

Only Qi Ji suffered a slight injury, and he basically recovered after a week.

In the next six months, Qi Jiu would go to the hospital to take care of Qi Xiaonian after school. On the snowy night before he was killed, Qi Jiu went to and from school, the hospital and the apartment where he lived as usual. He was just an ordinary person.

On a snowy night, something unexpected happened.

But why was Qi Xiaonian also sent in?

Before Qi Zhu left, Qi Xiaonian was still living in the hospital. His vital signs were normal and his life was definitely not in danger.

It stands to reason that even if something happens to him, relatives of the Qi family will help take care of him. The director of the hospital is still a close friend of the deceased Qi Dongyao and his wife, and he has taken great care of Qi Xiaonian and Qi Jiu. Therefore, even if Qi Xiaonian cannot take care of himself, it stands to reason that he will not be able to take care of himself.

He will die for no reason...

Did something happen to Qi Xiaonian after he was killed?

And his amputated left hand looks fine now... What's going on?

Qi Zhu quickly accepted the reality that Qi Xiaonian had also come to the "Rules Illustrated Book". He quickly suppressed his emotions and began to think about how to deal with being recognized by the other party. It was easy to fool him in front of NPCs, but other players were a little confused.

Tricky…

"It's been a hard journey for such a long journey. Dear students, welcome to Exile No. 1 Middle School," the dean stood under the scorching sun with his hands open and a standard, almost eerie smile on his face, "I believe you will have a wonderful life."

A wonderful and unforgettable campus life.”

When he said the word "unforgettable", he paused, looked at everyone with his eyes, and then let out a strange chuckle.

Qi Jiu noticed that there was an uncomfortable fanaticism on the dean's face at this moment.

The eleven new players have different expressions.

The NPCs are sizing up these sweaty players, and similarly, the players are also sizing up these faculty NPCs.

Qi Xiaonian, who was standing on the far right side of the team, looked at all the eight teachers in front of him. Qi Zhu noticed that when Qi Xiaonian looked towards him, there was no special emotion on his face.

When Qi Xiaonian saw him, it was like seeing other NPCs...

Now Qi Zhou was even more confused. Judging from Qi Xiaonian's reaction, it seemed that he didn't recognize him.

Qi Jiu remained calm on his face, but his heart was already wavering.

Did Qi Xiaonian, who was standing in the student team at this moment, really not recognize him, or did he also have a plan and deliberately pretend not to recognize him?

Although Qi Xiaonian is not very old, because Qi Dongyao and his wife work in the film and television industry, Qi Xiaonian has systematically studied acting since he was a child. Acting at this level should not be difficult for him.

But if Qi Xiaonian wasn't pretending...what happened to him? Why didn't he remember him?

Of course, what Qi Zhu couldn't figure out the most was why Qi Xiaonian appeared in the "Rules Illustrated Book".

"The next step is the very important entrance ceremony for new students. Only after the ceremony is successfully completed, can you truly become a member of this big family." The dean touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "Let's go, let's go to the auditorium next.

Completing the entrance ceremony is very exciting!"

The more he emphasized, the more uneasy the players who played students felt. The so-called expectations of NPCs were often the beginning of terror.

One of them suddenly raised his hand. The dean noticed his move and asked, "Does this student have any questions?"

The student who raised his hand carefully asked: "Excuse me...what do we need to do for the freshman orientation ceremony later?"

Dean of Students: "You will know when the time comes, don't worry."

Another blue-haired girl with a short haircut quickly asked: "Can you send us the "New Student Admission Handbook"?"

The dean was obviously stunned for a moment, then he raised his hand and patted his head: "Yes, fortunately you reminded me, I almost forgot about it, thank you for reminding me."

As he spoke, the dean of students winked at the older female teacher behind him. The female teacher immediately took out a stack of palm-sized manuals and walked forward to distribute them to the students one by one.

"Please be sure to read and memorize the school rules listed in the "Rules for New Student Admissions". This is related to whether you can have a safe and pleasant campus living environment in the future. Remember,"

The dean put away his exaggerated smile and glanced at everyone with stern eyes. Then he looked at the time and said, "Let's go, it's already 12:20. Let's go to the auditorium quickly, otherwise it will be too late..."

Too late? Qi Kuu was a little concerned about the dean's words.

After the "Rules for New Student Admissions" were distributed to eleven students, there was still a lot left. The older female teacher was just about to put away the remaining manuals. The young female teacher who had just been chatting with Qi Gu said quickly: "Give the teachers a copy too."

Well, Teacher Qi reminded me just now that many teachers now have no training and do not remember the school rules for students, which is very detrimental to the teaching work."

The dean thought for a moment and then nodded: "You are right, our teachers should be more familiar with school rules than students."

Immediately afterwards, the older female teacher distributed the remaining school rules to the eight teachers, which was just the right amount.

Under the leadership of the dean, everyone walked towards the school auditorium, with the students walking in front and the remaining seven faculty members following behind.

Qi Jiu lowered his head slightly. Compared with his previous calm concentration, he seemed a little absent-minded at this moment.

Qi Zhu looked at Qi Xiaonian's back from the corner of his eye from time to time. He had to find ways to find a chance to be alone with Qi Xiaonian. He had to ask clearly what happened to Qi Xiaonian, otherwise the mystery would gradually ferment in his heart.

It swelled out of control, always shrouding him like a dark cloud.

Qi Jiu looked at the "Rules for Admissions for Freshmen" in his hand in a daze for a moment, and suddenly he had a plan in mind.

He immediately opened the code, took out a pen, and looked like he was concentrating on studying, writing, drawing and taking notes.

At this moment, the temperature has exceeded 40 degrees, and there are no green plants that can provide shade on the main road of the campus. The road surface is whitened by the sunlight, and the hot heat wave is steaming up from the concrete road. Everyone is struggling on the edge of heatstroke, and their heads are a little dizzy. No one is there.

Notice Qi Qiu's little movements.

He inadvertently approached the student team.

"This classmate, your "Rules for Admission to Freshmen" have fallen off."

Qi Jiu patted Qi Xiaonian's shoulder, and then he bent down to pick up the code that he had deliberately dropped. In just two seconds, the code that fell on the ground was already a little hot to the touch.

Qi Xiaonian was slightly stunned when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. He turned around and moved his lips.

But before he had time to say "My code is not lost, it's not mine", Qi Jiu snatched the words away——

"Be sure to keep the admission rules. Don't lose them. It's always helpful to read them several times. After all, being familiar with the school rules can help you better integrate into campus life." Qi Jiu is like a gentle teacher.

That's what I told the new students.

Qi Xiaonian was stunned. He didn't know if he had an illusion. He seemed to see this NPC blinking at him...

"Thank you, teacher, for reminding me." Qi Xiaonian only hesitated for half a second, and he understood immediately.

Qi Jiu smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Based on his understanding of Qi Xiaonian, regardless of whether Qi Xiaonian recognized him at this moment, he believed that the other party could understand his implication.

Sure enough, Qi Xiaonian immediately opened the book of rules that he had "destroyed". When he turned to a line of fresh handwriting, his expression paused——

"After the entrance ceremony, let's meet in the men's room in the auditorium."

*

It was only an eight-minute walk from the school gate to the auditorium, but everyone was almost melted by the high temperature and thought they had walked for centuries.

Everyone wiped their sweat in embarrassment, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief as they entered the auditorium.

"It's so cool here, we're saved!" A player immediately exclaimed.

"But have you noticed that there seems to be a strange smell in the air..." Another player sniffed hard and said with some confusion, "It smells like a dead rat rotting."

"It's a bit silly for you to say that, but compared to the high temperature outside, I can still accept such a rancid smell..."

"That's right..."

"Hey, the architectural style of this auditorium is so strange."

"Well, it feels more like a church than an auditorium..."

"But I have never seen such a gloomy and dark church..."

The students and players lowered their voices to discuss, but the auditorium was really too spacious. No matter how they lowered their voices, all the conversations were clearly heard by others.

The light in the auditorium was dim, with only a few dim chandeliers hanging from the high, curved ceiling.

The interior space of the auditorium is very large, but what is surprising is that there are no seats in the huge auditorium. Instead, there are countless white columns arranged neatly. In the dim light and shadow, these slender and dense columns look like the rows of cemeteries.

Stele.

The stage at the front of the auditorium was shrouded behind a black curtain.

There were also shrines lit with red candles on both sides of the stage. Even though the statues enshrined in the shrines had no heads and no eyes, at this moment, everyone in the auditorium suddenly had an illusion——

Through the dim light and shadow, through these tombstone-like pillars, an evil sight was peering at them from the darkness.

Silently and unscrupulously peeking.

Rather than saying they were here to hold an entrance ceremony for new students, the atmosphere at this moment was more like attending a funeral.

It's just that it's hard to say whether this is someone else's funeral or the funeral of everyone here.

This auditorium looked like a huge tomb, and the eleven students who entered it looked as pale as paper, as if they were corpses buried in this huge tomb.

The heat of summer suddenly subsided, and an indescribable chill crept up everyone's backs.

For a moment, there was silence in the auditorium.

Until a sudden "wow" sound came from the front.

The black curtain of the stage slowly moved to both sides, and a spotlight hit the stage unexpectedly——

"Dear classmates, good afternoon."

A middle-aged man who was also wearing a black uniform and was a little funny appeared under the spotlight. He split his scarlet-painted lips and showed an extremely contradictory smile under the spotlight, "I am from Exile No. 1 Middle School."

Principal, welcome to Exile No. 1 Middle School."

The principal took a step back slightly, and the spotlight followed his movements and shone on the brazier beside him.

At this moment, everyone noticed that there was a red-hot fire seal on the brazier.

"Before we give the speech at the freshman entrance ceremony, we have more important ceremonies to complete. I believe this will become one of the most unforgettable moments when you enter Exile 1."

The principal, whose lips were painted scarlet, paused deliberately. He stood high on the stage and looked at the pale-faced freshmen in the audience with his stern eyes, taking in the confusion, fear, and disbelief on their faces.

Then the principal seemed even more satisfied and laughed cheerfully: "I will personally distribute the school badge of Exile No. 1 Middle School to each new student. This is the most sacred part of the school entrance ceremony and will also become the most sacred moment in your study career.

"

In the brief silence, the brazier crackled.

The students in the audience could even hear the horrifying sound of the fire seal being burned.
Chapter completed!
